"Yeah, I mean that's what your big brother is here for. We can fight together but if it gets messy then I'll handle it. I'm more used to this stuff than you," Takeshi said as he ruffled Shu's hair, "Trust me, we'll get this if you do what I say." He tended to keep his head better in battles and he wasn't afraid to get into the thick of it, Shu had a tendency to get spooked and run away. If things got rough then it just made sense for him to handle things and Shu could act as back up. "And you are getting stronger buddy, we've been training too you know? But just let me deal with the bad bits and you just watch my back, okay? Unless we do one of our awesome new attacks, then I definitely want you with me!" 

Forging through a desert hardly seemed like an ideal path but they had little alternative. Their supplies limited, enough for a single day, and with no knowledge of where the enemy might be, it was setting up to be a rough day. Nodding at T'charrl's comment he let out a sigh, casting his sight out towards the barren landscape ahead once more. Doubtless whatever was out there couldn't be good, this world was poised to have all sorts of surprises for them. Hearing Eris mention the Beastmen take lead he glanced over his shoulder to hear out Viral, having to agree with her idea. "It makes sense, having you lead. Especially if we stumble into the rift first, we'll need you to fight the creatures," Vegeta pointed out before stepping towards the edge of the plateau, dropping down some 10 meters and landing easily in the grass below, using Ki to cushion his fall. "If you wouldn't mind then, Viral, lead the way. We'll follow you."

"Hm, it's about time he gave you a chance. We'll find them before long," Eris said with confidence as she strode towards the edge, moving Haku out of her way as she did so. Rather than drop straight down to the ground she found an incline and slid down it on her heels, digging into the dirt to slow herself as she made it to the bottom. Orion followed suit and kicked up a massive cloud in his wake, making her move away to avoid being covered in dust. Waiting for the others to come down she looked to Viral, who she assumed now to be their de facto leader, waiting for him to head off before falling in line. Much as she would like to push Yumi's buttons further they were moving on now and, potentially, heading into a fight. Now was not the time to be playing with her emotions, however tempting that may be.
