Viral had appeared to have calmed down from a distance considering his proximity to Yumi. Yet when Aito approached the pair he was rather quickly deterred, his son growling at him and threatening him in any way he could. Were the Saiyan a bit more able-bodied at the moment he'd not mind, yet as things stood he hadn't the energy to really contend with Viral. Putting his hands up defensively he smiled, giving Yumi a side glance before stepping back and out of the Beastman's way. "Even when transformed he can't stand me, I just can't win can I...?" he asked no one in particular, his shoulders sagging as a sigh escaped his lips. Seems like he had an awful lot of work to do to be in Viral's good graces. "Er... Perhaps it's best we leave Viral be for a while. Let him get this out of his system," the doctor mused, using what little Ki he'd managed to recover to float up into the air, "Come along Yumi, we should get that creature back and let Viral wear himself out. We can come back in a little while for him."

"You think leaving Viral alone here is the best idea?" Yumi asked uncertainly, giving her friend a glance. She had considered it too though, letting him burn himself out and change back that way. Preferably she'd want to be there when he came to so he wasn't alone, but who knows how long it might take for that to happen. She'd have to come back immediately then and just keep an eye on him from afar, the last thing she wanted was her friend feeling abandoned. Smiling slightly she glanced at her friend before rising up into the air as well, hovering before his head and giving him a small wave. "I'll be back, have fun while you're out here. Uh... Don't go wandering off too far, okay?" She'd like to give him a hug or something to show things were okay but thought better of it, that massive gaping jaw of his made getting close a little intimidating. Instead she reached out and simply rubbed his snout before following Aito back towards the creature, not sure what his plans were for it.

Wow... Now here was a planet that had seen the worst of the fighting. Haku had never even heard of this world up until now, yet they had been asked to come here and try to help. Now that they were on the surface he could see why their help was needed; what he could only assume were forests were now barren wastelands, a tree here or there but otherwise large craters littered the landscape. The town they had landed near too was ruined, with skeletons of buildings still standing and not a single resident nearby. There were supposedly residents on the world still but they were avoiding them for now, not sure how they might react to seeing a Saiyan on their world after all that had happened. That struck Haku as grimly funny, thinking anyone would consider him that much of a threat. It wasn't as though he and T'charrl were here to help the people persay anyways, it was more what they could do for the planet itself. He didn't much get that order yet he understood it had to do with his friend's powers, and they were somehow the best fit for this kind of job.

"This planet just feels... Sad..." Haku muttered as they exited their ship, glancing around at the ruined landscape before them. He'd been on desert worlds before and at least those had color, and you could tell there wasn't supposed to be plants or anything. He could almost imagine how this place had looked before the fighting though and it must have been a beautiful world. How was T'charrl feeling? Considering he could talk to trees and all there must be some awful things coming through to him, he wasn't envious of that. Walking around a little bit he glanced at scattered remains of trees, bits of buildings that bad been blown well away from their homes and traces of what he could only assume were people. His stomach churned uncomfortably at that even if it wasn't anything new, he always hated seeing that on a battlefield. Coming across what looked like a tiny sapling sprouting up all on its lonesome he squatted down before it, a sad smile on Haku's face as he touched it gingerly with his fingertips. "Man... If the Saiyans did this then we're even bigger jerks than I though. Sorry T'charrl..."

A group of space pirates? With everything going on this was what Korian had them doing? Ricken supposed he couldn't argue too much, it was their job to help worlds with problems after all. Compared to the creatures attacking planets though and the still looming threat of Saiyans this seemed so trivial by comparison, they could have sent anyone else to handle this job. What's worse was it wasn't just him and his sister this time either, they had sent one other person along for the ride. Glancing back at Kiton as they walked along he frowned in disapproval, making no secret that he wasn't a fan of the Frost Demon. He'd been one of these people before and he was still one of these people now, no matter who he was fighting for. For all they knew he'd turn on them during the mission and help out the pirates instead, it was an inevitability he'd considered from the very moment they were introduced. 

"Sayomi said the pirates were holed up in a nearby settlement, and they've been demanding payments from towns to spare them from being attacked. Apparently they've even kidnapped a few people too for ransom so we know there's going to be some civilians inside," Sasha recounted, using a small PDA to read over the notes provided for them, "So we have two jobs on this planet then: save the civilians and get rid of the pirates. I'm sure if we knock them around a bit they'll not come back, though worst case scenario we can stuff them in the ship and bring them back to Uuonoe for imprisonment." She rather hoped they'd leave of their own accord, a ride back with a ship full of criminals hardly seemed fun. 

Ricken scoffed at the idea of pirates leaving on their own, figuring they wouldn't give up a haul for anything short of their own deaths. "I know what Korian's rules are Sasha but we might not have a choice here. Space pirates are the lowest of the low, they'll do anything for pay and they don't care who they hurt doing it," he spoke aloud, glancing back again at Kiton, "Or they just do as they please. They're selfish, ruthless and that never changes." 

"Oh shut up Ricken. We've seen plenty of people change since joining the rebellion, Kiton's one of them," Sasha snapped, rolling her eyes as she closed the documents, "He's one of us now, and Korian sent him along to prove that. I don't doubt you Kiton, for the record. You could have left at any time but you stayed with us, that should be proof enough you're one of the good guys." 

"That or he's using us to hide from the police, ever consider that sister?" Ricken asked, frowning as he shook his head, "Whatever, I know nothing I say is going to override Korian's orders. You better be on your best behavior here Frost Demon, I'm not going to hesitate to deal with you if you try anything."
