"Hey, whatever's going on they'll be fine, they can handle themselves," Takeshi beamed, putting an arm around Shu's shoulders, "Viral and Yumi know how to fight those things, all they gotta do is fight them and open the rift back up right? That's not too bad, they've got this." That wasn't to say he didn't worry a bit himself, no one knew what was on the other side save for those currently there. They were tough though, if anyone could handle being on the other side it would be them. Letting go of his brother he watched Vegeta wander off curiously, tilting his head before following their friend. "Hey... What's up? You looking for something?" he asked as he scanned the area, scratching his head at the silence. He'd mentioned something about a new rift or something but he didn't see anything, did he have an idea? When he didn't get an answer Takeshi frowned and reached out, prodding Vegeta's shoulder to get his attention. "Hey, what's up? Are we missing something?"

Vegeta closed his eyes and exhaled through his nose before calmly turning around, easing Takeshi's hand away from him. "Well... Yes, we may be. Think about it for a second: when we kill the beasts here they turn to smoke and vanish, yes? Well... Where does that smoke go to? It doesn't appear to remain in our world." It had to be going somewhere, and after seeing the beasts using rifts as a means of passage he had a theory; they passed through the portal and must assume this ethereal form of theirs in doing so, which meant if they were killed here they must return... But where? And how? To the other side of the rift was the only explanation, which meant... "If they don't die here they return to their own world, and in doing so they must be passing through something, meaning another rift. While I still don't fully understand it I theorize that there's another rift here somewhere, albeit a much smaller one. If we can somehow isolate that, find a means to open it..."

"Then the others can get back!" Takeshi finished, smiling as he came to the rather obvious conclusion, "Okay, so how do we do that? If there's a way to open it back up then we should do it. If they need help we can go over and help them."

"I don't know, without understanding the machinations behind it there's no way of us opening a portal ourselves. Just because we may know where they're going doesn't mean we can get there, not right yet." There had to be a way though, some condition that needed to be met in order for them to open the rift. Some kind of energy? A certain location? Vegeta's mind was a whirlwind of thought as he tried to come up with an explanation, knowing every second he took to think could be another second someone was in grave danger.

"But... You're fighting to protect people... Right? That's what we do here..." Haku argued back, smiling uncertainly as he rubbed at his neck, "Y-You know... We've got a lot of pretty strong people here, right? But I don't worry about them becoming bad, because they're all good, no matter how s-strong they get. I think the same way about you, even if you don't. So... If your own energy works I t-think you should try." Haku knew all too well what happened if things got out of hand for T'charrl of course, he'd been there and witnessed it during their first meeting, an event that for many reasons he'd just as soon forget. That had been a while ago and now he was optimistic as he could be that the power was more under control. "If more come then... Try using it? Your f-friends are here, if it gets bad..."

Yumi had lost most of her sense of self, perhaps her more primal being kicking in as a self defense. Whatever the case the manner in which she zipped about now was far less that of a graceful martial artist and more a wild beast. From leaping onto the creatures and tearing them apart to darting about on all fours she was managing to hold her own, even if she was only vaguely aware of it. Leaping from the back of one creature to the next she sank her claws into its neck, directing it with a powerful yank and sending it charging into one of its own, leaping off as they tumbled down a hill together in a bloody mess. Logically she should continue as she had been and keep fighting the smaller beasts, reduce their numbers and then move on. Yet when she spotted Viral contending with two on his own her priorities promptly shifted and, letting out a snarl she left her battlefield behind for his. The closest creature to her was the feathered beast and so she went for that first, leaping off the ground and landing on one of its legs, slashing at it furiously to try and make it back off. It worked, but now she found herself being shaken about violently as it tried to get her off of its limb. Refusing to give up so easily she clawed her way up to its torso, dodging a swiping claw as she got onto its back and made several quick cuts along its shoulders, scrambling aside as a hand came down to try and crush her.
