"It will too work, we'll make it work, just you wait," Yumi said confidently, not going to be swayed despite any doubts, "Well... All they know is this life, right? So maybe if they come with us... If we can show them what else there is, maybe they'll want more? Unless we show them what else is out there they'll never know what they're missing, so it's up to us to introduce them to it!" Whether that meant taking them back to Uuonoe, or leaving them here on this world, someone had to show them what life had to offer. Fighting was fine and all and during a war it was necessary, but that wasn't the only thing that life had for you. Even Viral who spent so much time around others had yet to fully accept that, yet she remained optimistic he would. Hearing Takeshi and Shu would join them as well gave her some confidence, knowing they could fight even if she did slightly worry about Shu being there. "If there are some in the water then we reach out to them too, we don't want anyone to feel left out or alone there," Yumi responded in kind, smiling at Viral as she continued, "Maybe all they know now is this, but they can know more if they get the chance. It's only right they get to make a choice after they've seen what else there is." Yeah yeah, showing the Beastmen what life had in store was nice and all, but Takeshi knew he had no part in that. All he was tagging along for was to pound in some Saiyan's faces and make those creeps of scientists regret doing such a nasty thing, both to his sibling and his friends; truce nothing, he still saw most of the Saiyans, especially Elites, as the kind of people who were never going to be good. "Yeah we'll be fine buddy, don't you worry! Teams of two and all that, I'll have your back the whole time we're down there," the older boy reassured, patting his sibling on the back, "You're good enough at fighting for sure, okay? I wouldn't bring you down with me if I didn't think you were, you know?" Sure Shu maybe wasn't the most confident of people, but whenever he and Shu sparred it was hard to catch or land any hits on the little guy. He could fight an Elite, he just had to treat it more like their sparring sessions than an actual fight. "If they don't wanna come with us...? Uh... Well I mean they kind of have to, don't they? If we kick the Saiyans out then there's gonna be no one in charge anymore right?" "They don't need someone in charge, they aren't infantile children, incapable of helping themselves," Vegeta commented bluntly. At least he assumed they weren't hard to say given how Beastmen apparently aged and progressed differently from other beings. He couldn't recall much of Viral's growth, though he did know his brother to technically be older than he was in some regards. "That being said too, as Yumi pointed out this is all they've known for life. Removing the scientists and some sort of direction could lead to their being lost and confused, which isn't going to help their situation any. Ideally they agree to come with us, though I would imagine we're going to need some very compelling arguments as to why that is. Convincing someone to seek something they've no knowledge of isn't easy." "Which is why we introduce them to new concepts and ideas while on this world, and they draw their own conclusions from there," Aito interjected with a smirk, tapping on one of the consoles as he leaned back, "Krom, would I be correct in assuming they've never been off world, or even outside of the facility? If that's the case then we should bring this ship down once the site is secured, let them see it for themselves and explore. If they decide they're curious and wish to see more then we should allow them to come aboard, and we can worry about logistics after we find some willing companions. Otherwise our only course of action is to remove the current power, and instill something that won't leave them without direction or guidance." Much like how wars went, as one power was toppled another rose in place, sometimes for better though often for worse. Their situation here was precarious as if they did have to put someone else here, be it some kind of leader or establish some sort of rules, there was a very real chance it could backfire and make things worse than it was. "Viral? As a Beastman I feel like it's best you try to argue on our behalf, on what else lies beyond this world. They may take one of their own more seriously than any of us." "Or me... I'm a Beastman as well now," Yumi added herself, smiling slightly as she reached up and tapped one of her ears, "I mean maybe not a [i]traditional[/i] Beastman, but I'm certainly more of one than any of you are, save Viral. Maybe while Shu and Takeshi are busy... Ah... Showing the Saiyans the way out, Viral and I can focus on helping the Beastmen? Or we can do that after the fighting too." Between herself and her friend they could do this, she was confident they could. None of her empathetic link was going to be needed for that either, if two of their own kind could vouch for life beyond the walls of the facility then surely they would be more willing to venture out... Right?
