"You're right, you didn't ask for it. Then again neither did Korian, and at least he's trying to stop the atrocities. Even if I don't agree with what's going on we both seem to know that something has to be done, yet you've made no efforts from what I can see to stop it. Yamate truly does wish to save everyone, but he's doing so in a fashion that weakens the whole. We cannot rely on the strength of a few for the salvation of many, it has to be a concentrated, group effort. And the fact that Shu is the product of an experiment..." Again, could Aito really judge Yamate? He had done the same with Viral, in fact the exact same thing. Perhaps the nature of the process itself had differed, but each child had been born with becoming a protector of sorts. Krom didn't miss that fact either and was fairly quick to point it out, more than likely eager to paint the doctor in a poor light this time. 

So solar energy was the bane of these beasts, was that it? Interesting, though Aito wasn't certain why that was. Despite having been arguing with Krom just a second ago he was now silent, letting the man spoke as he thought. "I see... It would make sense I suppose, if you think about it enough," the doctor mused, folding his hands behind his back as he began pacing, "Their bodies have likely developed in a place with minimal solar radiation, which means they aren't used to focused solar energy, much less solar attacks. Ki is powerful enough to break the cells apart, but not to destroy them entirely, which is why there needs to be a combination. I see... That makes sense." Well it made sense, but that didn't mean he liked it. Viral was then the ideal candidate for becoming the two-in-one fighter, but the process of gifting him Ki wasn't going to be an easy one, if it was even possible. If they could manage it though... They would have a very powerful, seasoned warrior to combat the threat. "I can actually understand their thought process, though the steps taken to achieve the result is deplorable at best. Perhaps a combination of fighters..." he mumbled, frowning before glancing back at Krom, "So you don't know the science behind it, fine. But tell me, have you seen any of this field tested? These other alleged Beastmen your people had created, like Yumi... Are they successful?"

Viral had [i]wanted[/i] this? To become a pawn of the Saiyans? Was he seriously that jaded that he thought Earth had nothing for him? What about his friends? His family? The fact the place was his home! It pissed Takeshi off to no end hearing such a thing, and it also made him feel like an incredible sucker for risking so much for the guy. Wanting to just leave now he turned to go, stopping in his step when Viral began shouting back. Wait... He'd struck a deal with them? This was the first time anything like this had come up, why? Turning back around he looked at the Beastman confused, his eyes widening when he revealed the entirety of the situation to him. "So... You... Tried saving us?" he asked, eyes downcast as he began immediately feeling like utter crap. He couldn't have been further from the truth, could he? "Viral, I... I'm so sorry, I never knew... It's not your fault, I..." What could he even say after that? The guy had been bearing this burden for so long and now that it was finally out there was likely nothing that Takeshi could do. Why didn't he say anything? They might have been able to help him. Aside from him he was pretty sure no one blamed the guy, and now that he knew the truth even he didn't. Shaking his head dejectedly he looked up at the Beastman, wanting desperately to try and say something to make things right but not having a clue as to what. "I'll... I'll leave you alone, sorry..." he mumbled, turning and leaving the atrium.

So that was the truth of it then? Viral had gone to try and spare the rest, a noble gesture. To think that he'd been trying to stop them from having to take the risks to save him; had no one chased after Viral then maybe none of this would be happening now. Vegeta let out a sigh from his spot on the wall, having been standing just around the corner and listening to the whole conversation. Well now that was out in the open, how he and his father were unaware of that before... "No one thinks what happened is your fault Viral, don't tell yourself that," Vegeta spoke, entering the room while giving his brother a steady look, "I wish you had said something about this before, this would change our approach completely." It was one hell of a weight on one's shoulders, and they had been addressing the wrong parts entirely. Or, rather, they had been addressing products of this guilt, not the guilt itself. Walking over to the bedside he reached out and tried to place a hand on Viral's shoulder, offering a slight smile as he did so. "Believe me, no one blames you for what happened, certainly not if this is brought to light. What happened was all of our own volition, you didn't make anyone do anything. Please, just take a seat and breathe, calm down a little because we need to talk."
