"You say that like I'd ever forget Viral, which I wouldn't. And now that we know that you'll never be a weapon for them, that's long gone. You're our friend, not a war machine." That being said he would always fight if he wanted to, and they would be right at his side to fight with him. She wouldn't ever let him think he was just some tool again, she'd do everything in her power to convince Viral he was so much more. Just like she'd never abandon Viral she refused to abandon Riley mostly on the principle and fact he was just a child, someone had to take care of him. If a fight did break out she'd be ready to set him aside, though she hoped for his sake it never happened. "Oh good idea Viral, or I have an even better one! I can throw Riley here [i]at[/i] the Saiyans as a weapon, they'll never see it coming." Hearing Riley whimper in protest she smiled apologetically, bouncing him on her arm gently. "I was kidding, I wouldn't do that."

Now Shu was getting it, sort of. They beat some bad guys, saved the Beastmen and were now getting them off the planet, wasn't that all good? For someone who was stuck in a place like this Takeshi figured he'd know what it's like, and getting out was some huge thing for these people. Now that they had kicked some butt and done all that they could finally get the Beastmen off planet, with some help of course. No way was everyone fitting on the single shuttle as they quickly learned which meant calling back to the ship and seeing if they could send another one down. When that was all set to go Takeshi gave Shu a grin and thumbs up, letting him know everything was good to go. "Take it easy squirt, we're done with the hard stuff, now we're just going home," he reassured, reaching over and ruffling Shu's hair before taking a moment to get him strapped in, "Just hang tight, we're only flying a short way."

Yumi waited eagerly for the ships to arrive, keen to get not only themselves but the Beastmen off this world. No other opposition had been seen on their way up yet that didn't mean they were completely out of the woods, and they wouldn't be until they were back on board the ship proper. Watching the pair of ships come in for them she smiled reassuringly at the still uneasy Riley, helping to block his ears when the roar of the thrusters became louder as both vessels settled down for a landing. They knew who was in the first one but she was a little surprised to see Vegeta come out of the second, not expecting him to have come down. Nodding as they were given directions Yumi looked to Viral then, frowning when he told her to go off with Vegeta. "Don't be ridiculous. We started this together and we're going to finish this together." Which likely meant she needed to find someone to hand off Riley to, as uneasy as he seemed about that. Giving him a gentle smile she went over to the lion-Beastman, who unlike Eris took the boy willingly and whose presence didn't seem to make him panic. Thank goodness, she was worried about that. "Now then, ready to get in the ship?"

Takeshi glanced back into the hold of the shuttle as people began to file in, waving them towards the seats for them to get settled. Hopefully they didn't mind something of a bumpy ride as a flawless pilot he was not. He'd get them there in one piece which was good, but it might be slightly turbulent. Expecting just Beastmen to join them he was surprised to see Yumi and Viral wander in as well, and even more shocked when that Eris woman followed suit. Groaning inwardly at what was bound to be an awkward ride he turned and slumped slightly into his chair, letting out a sigh before "Why me...? There's two shuttles..." Now he was stuck with the two women who were having a cat fight over Viral earlier, just grand. Taking one more glance back to see if that was everyone he flipped the switch to seal up the shuttle, glancing across to the other ship and giving Vegeta a thumbs up. "Alright then, time to get going, everyone get settled in and hold on tight!" Giving the throttle a tentative push the ship slowly moved up, wobbling a little before it stabilized and got moving again.
