"Well either we fight em or we hope they won't eat us, I'm gonna go with kicking their ass," Takeshi said as he set down, easing Shu off of his back. "I know you can kick butt, you did with that thing before, remember? Well time to do it again!" These things were intimidating in their own way but he wasn't afraid of them, he could fight and not have to worry about holding back. Breaking one of their jaws didn't phase him remotely, and when he kicked another away the only thing he felt was slight irritation that they were trying to just pile on. Feeling the wind at his back from an explosion Takeshi appraised the work Shu had done by blasting one of the creatures away, grinning before dashing after the one he'd struck. Throwing a fist down in its side he slammed it into the ground, placing the flat of his palm against its skin and blasting it at point blank, sending it deep into the ground and into a shallow pit. One of the ones Ki didn't work on then, but sure did feel good blasting it anyways. Another one of the creatures came boring down on him with its claws extended, trying to swipe at him and knock him down. reaching out with both hands he managed to catch its arms and stop it, throwing it to the floor before kicking it and causing its mouth to open in a howl. Quickly gathering Ki he smirked as he blasted right down its throat, causing the creature to swell before popping.

What was he supposed to be doing right now? He'd barely managed to deal with one and now there were even more, how were they supposed to win this? With everyone else fighting Haku knew he couldn't run off, and the scouts weren't in need of help so that wasn't a valid excuse to fall back either. Biting his lip as he looked around for a target he saw T'charrl getting into it with one of the creatures, paling as it chomped down on his arm. Racing over to try and help he diverted his path only slightly when another began going after his friend, throwing his entire body at its side to try and knock it off course and barely managing to do so. Being one of the plated beasts it was quite painful to slam against as he had and the world spun for a second thereafter, even as the creature came after him and knocked him into the air with its head. Gasping at the sharp pain and at being winded he did the only thing he could think of and caught himself in mid-air, the creature responding by trying to jump up after him. On purely instinct he cocked back an arm and let loose a punch on its head that sent it careening back the way it had come, dropping after it and driving his feet into its back, cracking the hard shell encasing it before giving it a blast for good measure.

Baffled by her lack of Ki and ability to fly Yumi gave up on it for now, finding that was the least of their worries. Small crowd of beasts aside there was the massive one to contend with too, the one which had blown apart their ticket back home. They needed to kill it but before they could even try all of the small ones had to be dealt with first. There was one saving grace in all of this, she had Viral along with her, and she supposed Orion and Eris as well. The fact they could actually kill these creatures now too was a big welcome, it meant they weren't fighting a losing battle. Finding herself a foe she ran after one that was chasing behind Viral, scooping up a rock along the way and hurling it at the beast's flank to distract it. When she managed to close the gap she darted to the side when it swiped at her, bouncing right back in and slicing along its side with her claws, drawing blood in the process. It was bigger than her, they all were, and perhaps stronger, but that wasn't anything new. If an opponent had size and power on you then you used speed, and if speed didn't work you made them create an opening, make them make a mistake. Smiling with some degree of confidence Yumi bounced back and forth on her feet, zig-zagging as she ran back after the creature. When she was within striking distance she had to lean to one side and spin to avoid its swinging claws, reaching out and slicing one of its eyes, leaving long tears along the side of its face. As soon as she got her footing down she went back in again, balling her hands into fists and slamming one into the back of the creature's head, driving her other up in a heavy swing that broke several ribs and knocked it away into a rock formation that crumbled on impact.

The great beast saw fit to let the underlings fight or now, there was no reason for it to be involved. It had taken away the way for the beings to get home and now they were stranded, faced with their might and no hopes of escape. They weren't despairing as it had hoped but soon they would, and it would relish their despair as they killed them one by one. Three of them were preoccupied but one seemed determined to come after it, and even thought itself fit to kill it. Noticing the strange energy being shot at it the beast reeled back and fired another blast of its own, the two energies colliding with a thunderous clap before exploding, caking the area between in a cloud of smoke. As it cleared the beast was snarling with pleasure at Viral, another grin plastered on its face as it flexed its claws, as though saying [i]"Come and get me."[/i] With a loud roar it smashed its hooves into the ground and knocked up rubble, grabbing a piece that flew up before hurtling it at Viral. It would play before ending Viral's miserable existence, there was no fun in killing him so quickly. 

The portal may be closed but it would reopen, it had to. If there was a means to open it once then there still remained a means to do so again, they only had need to find it. Focusing on their side of the battle Vegeta was confronted with a pair of creatures once again, scowling as they roared at him, some of their saliva landing on his boots. "Disgusting... Shame I can't kill you, I'd rather like to know what else is inside of you." Vanishing he moved in between them, throwing both arms back behind him and smashing his forearms into the snouts of the beasts. Spinning then on his heel he kicked one in the jaw before leaning and kicking back behind him, repeating the motion to the other. With both dazed momentarily he reached out and shot a concentrated Ki blast through each, piercing one and managing to partially pierce the other, its plating causing problems for that. Taking advantage of the hole he'd made however he punched into the wound and repeated the attack again, firing through it and pulling his arm to the side, his blast acting like a blade that cut the creature in two.
