Viral stared at Vegeta before looking to the scouts as well, narrowing his gaze before looking away. He didn’t know what Vegeta was thinking by telling them they’ve battled them before as if it would allow them to feel at ease, they didn’t even know what kind of monster they were facing. If it was just all minor creatures like they had faced before then maybe it would be okay, but even then those creatures were tough to beat. If they started thinking those creatures were all the same they would have another Namek on their hands very quickly, so caution had to be given. “’Simple beasts’…you say that and half of us end up dead for believing you”, he grunted, generally disliking the thought that any of the drones were ‘simple’ and could be easily dispatched. “I’ll make sure everything goes well on my side, it’s your side who need to be on their toes the most. Go all out on them until we can figure out how to close the gateway”.

Shu didn’t know whether he should try talking or if he should keep as he was and just carry on with his inability to find words or actions to express himself. He was stuck feeling pretty down and didn’t know how to get out of it again. As he wondered what he was supposed to feel about this he gasped lightly when Takeshi spoke, looking up to him before away again as he pulled at his fingers. “Umm…y-yeah…” He didn’t know how to reply to that, he was probably going to end up struggling to accomplish anything. It’s what his brother thought of him, probably, and was just saying that stuff to try and hide the fact that anything was discussed about his strength in the first place. Closing his eye momentarily when Takeshi pressed his finger into his forehead he gave the spot a quick rub, staring up at Takeshi before looking away as he scratched his side. “Y-Yeah…be good fighting! And, umm…fighting to be winners…” He really wanted to ask what Takeshi thought of him but he would probably only get mad, so it was probably best to keep quiet and hope he wouldn’t screw up like Takeshi assumes would happen if he ended up split from him.

T’charrl did wonder how well he was going to be able to use his powers, whether he would have to heal people or if blasting the creatures with them would work as opposed to using Ki. He hadn’t used his power to attack in a while and if he was able to burn the dummies back home he was curious about his abilities now that they had grown stronger. Hopefully he wouldn’t end up using too much energy, otherwise it would be hard to recover again. Looking to Haku when he decided to speak he frowned, disliking the doubt he was expressing. “I don’t know about scary. They’re pretty average looking when compared to some animals back home”, he spoke, shaking his head, “It’s when they get big is when they get awfully tough. I don’t know if that would come back again, but I really hope it doesn’t…”

With everything and everyone prepared they were heading off, hopefully having less of a terrible time than they did the day before. At least there was progress being made now, even if Viral wasn’t happy with having to lead the way. He felt like his group was just acting as bait for the creatures to bite on. If there was one thing that Vegeta definitely wasn’t and that was a tactical advisor, he just felt his group were out in the open too much with everyone behind them in a bad spot for helping them if things went wrong. If they were going to go with a tactic then the strongest people should be out front and to the sides of the group with the weaker lot in the middle who would be ready to flee the initial danger until they could collect themselves. Right now Viral was feeling anything other than strong, he was just feeling disappointed in himself for getting injured in the first place. He was already healing up as time went on but he still felt slightly drained and did worry that it would affect his ability to fight. Hopefully the other three could compensate for his lack of strength and hopefully he would be able to avoid appearing weak in front of the other Beastmen.
