Defeating a former commander here and now, just thing of the acclaim! The accolades! He would be promoted to general after a victory here today and even greater if they brought the princes in. He couldn't fail, there was too much at stake without even considering the project being in jeopardy. That being said bringing down Viral was proving to be difficult, he was supposed to be a broken, shadow of his former self. Shadows didn't land you flat on your behind after pummeling you. "Bah! I don't even need the weapons to defeat you, you're nothing compared to a Saiyan!" the Elite shot back, grinning as he climbed to his feet, "Defeat only makes us stronger, you've no hopes of winning here!" Even if he was beaten he would return to take revenge, he'd never suffer the humiliation of losing to a Beastman. They were tools for the Saiyan empire and were inferior in every way! Striking out with a flurry of punches he found every strike to be either blocked or met with one from Viral, ending up being knocked down again by a hefty blow. "Hah... So you're not falling apart any longer, pity..." the Elite panted as he rose once more, grinning as he wiped blood from his mouth on the back of his hand. "You may be strong, but you cannot do anything against this!" Placing both hands before him, heels together, he began amassing Ki at a rapid rate, his body bulking up as energy grew. He'd blow Viral into cosmic ash if he had to, then the others would be easy picking. Takeshi was having fun fighting the troops even if they were pitifully easy to beat. At least more kept coming, it gave them something to do while Yumi and Viral got the real fights. After blasting away that annoying soldier he disappeared with his Ki between two more men, smirking as they tried to flee and only have the collars of their shirts grabbed, with Takeshi bashing their heads together and simply dropping them at his feet. "What are you talking about buddy? You're fighting right now and you're kicking ass!" the older boy replied, lazily leaning to the side to avoid a punch, throwing a fist back and clocking the soldier in the bridge of the nose, "You can fight, you're showing me that right now! Keep it up!" Though fighting these guys was slightly easier than an Elite, he could do this in his sleep. Hearing another soldier running up behind him he swiveled his body around, kicking the energy blade from his hand before spinning again and kicking him in the chest, knocking him into three more and causing all of them to fall over. Charging a small amount of Ki then in his palm he aimed at them, smiling as they all looked panicked and shook their heads. "Oh I'm not gonna kill you, you're just going for a trip," Takeshi said, aiming below them and blowing apart the tiles by their feet, causing them to soar up into the air and out of view fairly quickly. Takeshi and Shu were having fun no doubt, shame the same couldn't be said for her and Viral. Relaxing and goofing off were two things they couldn't afford to do when fighting two Elites. Managing to ground her opponent Yumi began punching away in hopes of knocking him out cold, drawing blood but failing to reach her goal. Instead her fists were grabbed and her head smacked by the Elite's, becoming dazed as she was kicked off by his one good leg. Seeing somewhat blurry for a moment she watched the alien get to his feet in spite of the pain and stalk towards her, Ki in his hand and no doubt primed to put her down. Waiting until he got close to shoot she spun her body and kicked against the wall, causing her to slide along the floor and between his legs. Using her hands to stop herself then she sprung up and kicked him in the back, sending him face first into the wall. Following that up with another kick to his bad leg she brought him again to a knee, and another kick to his back to put him into the wall a third time, denting it. She was going to deliver yet another but instead was thrown back across the hall as she was hit with a blast, taking relatively little damage but being caught completely off guard. Seeing the Elite airborne and bearing down on her she hastily rolled aside as his fist impaled the wall, being blown apart by his Ki shortly afterwards as she scrambled to avoid the debris.
