"Be patient with it, I wouldn't expect it to be easy," Vegeta urged calmly, folding his hands behind his back as he glanced skyward again, "If you can feel something then that should mean there is a passage, right? You wouldn't be picking up their energy if there wasn't some way to connect to it. Would moving help?" There was reason for optimism now and with luck they would find that 'sweet spot' which allowed them to establish a connection. He'd prefer not to say it aloud but surely T'charrl knew it, if they wanted this method to work then it hinged entirely on his ability to find a link. Walking over to the boy he stood at T'charrl's back, reaching down and gently placing a hand on his shoulder. "Let me try to help. I know Yumi's energy anywhere, and if you can find Viral then between the two of us we're bound to locate them." Closing his own eyes he allowed his Ki to flow freely, should T'charrl have need of some, and began to attempt and sense out the energy of his friend. Not unsurprisingly there was no immediate trace and this frustrated Vegeta, but he took a breath and pressed on with the search.

"That's why you practice buddy. You think I was a natural at it when I first learned?" Takeshi asked rhetorically with a laugh, "You should have seen me, sticking up in a tree a couple of times because I'd get caught on branches, or the number of times I fell into water. I wasn't exactly an ace, you know? It takes practice." So that was another thing they would have to do later on top of all the other work they already had in store for them. At least the flying thing could be fun, he'd just have to ask Vegeta about a padded room or something so Shu didn't end up hurting himself. The little guy was having trouble being positive at all with all these things he couldn't do well so maybe... Bring up the things he could do? It was worth a shot, and Takeshi was happy to find his brother seemed a little embarrassed by it. "Well... I mean look at me and bugs, you're asking the wrong guy for that buddy," the older boy chuckled, smiling slightly as he rubbed his neck, "But if you ask me... Uh... I mean you gotta face it, you know? I used to be afraid of mountain lions when I was little, they were all over the place where I grew up and they scared the crap out of me. After I realized I'm faster and stronger though they're not so scary. So you kinda got to... Face your fear I guess. If you see its not so scary then its not a big problem."

Everyone was haggard after that fight but none more so than Viral, he barely looked able to stand. Yumi had figured he'd done a lot of the fighting so that was to be expected, he'd killed two of the giant beasts and protected them all in the process. "Of course you deserve praise, you saved us. And you didn't get us trapped here, it was a set up by them, not you. Don't be blaming yourself for what they did," she reassured, slowly crouching down to set Viral into a sitting position instead. "None of us can do anything... At least not yet, it's not just you. So please, stop saying this is on you, it's not. You saved me and we prevented more people from being hurt today, there's a lot to be proud of." Much as she'd like to have a new portal spring open and for them to just leave they couldn't quite yet, there was unfinished business here. Glancing around the area in hopes of finding some clue she let out a sigh, smiling sadly as she gave Viral a pat on the back. "We need to look for the people who were taken too. If they might still be alive then we can't leave them here, which means we'll need to get moving soon."

"We can handle the search, you two take a break," Orion interjected, "We've not worn out just yet, we'll handle it from here."

"We will? I don't want to be doing a search and rescue, the people are probably dead anyways," Eris grumbled with a roll of her eyes, "Do you think those things wouldn't just eat them? Seriously, you think they were stealing them to make friends? H-Hey!" Being grabbed by the back of her shirt by Orion she swung out at him and missed, snarling before resigning herself to be lifted.

"If this is where they originally came through then the prisoners may not be far, if there are any. Let us take a look, we'll report back as soon as we find something. Come along Eris." True, search and rescue wasn't generally their job, but they were capable of doing it. That had been part of this assignment as well, rescue anyone they could, and with the beasts in the area slain they now had a chance to try and do so. Setting Eris down he pushed the girl along before walking alongside her, waving to Yumi and Viral as they moved off to begin their search.

Yumi waited until the others were well out of view before leaning over and wrapping her arms around Viral, hugging him as she laid his head on her shoulder. "I know you hate this, just shut up and let me hug you," she whispered, closing her eyes and sighing before letting him back off. "I was so stressed about today, I could barely sleep last night and I was worried something might happen, one of us might get hurt or worse. You don't know how relieved I am things worked out. And how relieved I am that you're okay," she added, smiling as she sat down beside him. "And really... You were amazing today. There's no way we could have won without you, I'm glad you were here."
