"All we need to know for now is that another exists for certain. It's highly possible we've no way of interacting with it, which wouldn't be unexpected." They had no part in opening the rifts prior to his knowledge and it was doubtful they had a means of doing so even if they wanted to. Still, nothing ventured nothing gained. Following behind T'charrl to see what he could find Vegeta glanced over his shoulder curiously hearing footsteps and was surprised to find Haku following as well, meeting the boy's gaze briefly before shrugging it off. No harm in his tagging along, he was skeptical anything would come of this anyway. "If you don't mind my asking, how are you feeling after the fighting? We were concerned that you and Shu may be at risk of transforming if I'm honest, and I'm rather relieved neither of you did so," Vegeta admitted, "That being said... Does anything feel off? We can postpone this for a short while if you feel the need to relax first." 

So Shu just wanted to know if he was smart? He was, though maybe not in the way Shu was thinking of. None of them were really book smart like Vegeta was, and none of them could do any of the science stuff he or his dad could do either, but they were still smart in their own way. It was a sound argument to Takeshi yet his little brother had a hard time buying into it still. "Other people...? Uh... I mean yeah, you're smart buddy. Hell, if we talk about survival smarts then... You've got me beat by a mile, you know? I figured I was okay at it because I lived by myself but you're way better than I am, so you're even smarter than me there. And... You know stuff still, even if you don't know you do. I mean look, you were raised by monkeys and all that before you met those old people who raised you right? You learned how to talk like that, and then you've learned a lot since we met too. So... Yeah, you're smart. And that's the truth. I think you're smart enough that whatever you wanna learn you can, you're like a... Smart sponge... Or something."

Yumi had gained a big victory in crippling the winged beast, it meant now they would be fighting on even footing and it would have no advantage. There was a slight problem however now that it was falling and that was her lack of flight here, something even in her more rampant state she recognized. With little other recourse she did as Viral asked and took a literal leap of faith, aiming for Enki as best she could and flipping around onto her back to try and cushion the fall. When she hit his hand there was a slight pain and her breath was knocked from her but she was alive, taking a second before getting back onto her feet. Looking into Enki's eyes she wondered if Viral could see her now, managing a faint smile before her eyes  darted away as one of the monsters let out a pained howl, wondering what in the world was going on beyond their own battle. Seeing the spined beast on its side and littered with wounds was unexpected and hugely relieving, that meant one less foe to deal with now.

They had taken away its mobility by crippling each leg, taken an eye from it to limit its eyesight and plenty of blood had been spilled now on both sides, yet Eris and Orion remained on top. Once they had felled the beast itself Eris wasted little time in trying to put it down for good by firing off an energy blast of her own aimed for its throat, annoyed when the creature released a blast of its own just quick enough to block hers. That did little good to stop Orion however as he went in for a more personal approach, and with him he had a rather large boulder he'd torn up from the battlefield. Leaning back on one leg he threw his entire body forward before releasing the stone into the creatures head, splitting the skull and fatally wounding it with the blow. Eris fell to his side in a heartbeat and her chest puffed up as she prepared and fired off another attack, her energy hitting the same spot Orion had. The resulting attack blew the creatures head clean off, or to be more exact blew it apart and incinerated what was left under the high heat of the blast. The body writhed for a brief moment following its decapitation before coming to a standstill, at last slain by their efforts. Both were injured moderately however and had spent a great deal of energy killing the one creature, and still two remained.
