"Er... Sorry, a bit of grim humor. And in all fairness they're likely fighting hordes of those creatures, it's a safe assumption they aren't having a good time," Vegeta pointed out, "But as I said I'm confident they're fine, they're plenty capable and work well together." Chatter aside they still had to try and locate Yumi and the others and thus far only the faintest of traces had been picked up. How detecting energy beyond the rift worked was anyone's guess as they had never done anything like this before, not with a living being. "Well yes, it's a guess. We've never done this before, nothing we're doing right now has any certainty, it's all theory. And you'll do fine, that I am certain of at least. If we can open the portal then everything that follows is easy." There was that factor though, the if: no one knew if they were even capable of opening their own portal to the other side. Given the inevitability of their being unable to then it fell to Yumi, Viral, Eris and Orion to find a means to get themselves back home, in enemy territory and possibly with an entire village to protect. Things did not bode well if they failed. 

"We could always cut your hair if you wanted, you know. I was thinking of getting mine cut at some point, it's getting kind of long," Takeshi suggested, glancing up and tugging on one of his bangs with a frown before slicking it back into place, "I know you can do it buddy, and you know why? Because I'm faster than those things too and when we train together you run circles around me. If you can avoid me then you can definitely avoid those things, no problem. And you know... I'm not exactly not afraid of those things, I don't want to be their snack either. But you've gotta fight them you know? I've gotta keep myself safe, I gotta try keeping you safe and I've gotta try keeping my friends safe, and I know they're going to do that for me. I'm kinda used to thinking its just me on the field when we're fighting, and it's all on me, but... You gotta remember other people are there too, right? I don't know, I guess that makes me brave even when I'm scared." Aside from the fiasco with the big bug from before but Takeshi was hoping Shu wouldn't bring that up with him. 

Viral likely needed the rest but Yumi couldn't stay here, it stunk too much of blood to be comfortable. Even without her heightened senses it would probably be awful and having sensitive smell made it even worse. Grabbing Viral to lend him support she lifted him to his feet again, trying to lead him in the direction Eris and Orion had traveled in search of villagers. "Yeah, my Ki doesn't work here, I don't get why. And why would it be inconvenient?" she questioned, giving her friend an earnestly perplexed look, "I just said I can fight just fine without it. It's nice to have sometimes but I'll survive without Ki. So it's not inconvenient, in fact I might even prefer it. I get lazy with Ki." It was easy to not have to dodge or fight up close when you could fly and blast away, yet that wasn't all there was to fighting and sooner or later it got up close and personal again. Taking it slow to now push Viral too hard she nodded at his comment about the stench, wrinkling her nose before smiling. "You're probably sore and almost burned out, I am too. My whole body hurts and without Ki I can't avoid having to move, but it's okay because we got through the worst of it," Yumi said as she looked at Viral cheerfully, "And we're all okay, even if we're exhausted."

Pushing through the open land with so many people to protect was a little nerve-wracking, especially after dealing with so many creatures. For extra precautionary measures Orion kept in the lead while Eris went to the back of the group, it being the best they could do between the two of them. Even Eris for all of her usual excitement around battle was being cautious now, not liking the lull that followed such a big fight. Something must have caught wind of what was happening and yet they were utterly alone out here, not a single one of those creatures in sight. Only once they were back in their world would she let her guard down, their job was to protect these people and she wouldn't forget that, not for a second. How did Viral and his people treat failure? With beatings? Days without food? Solitary confinement? She would rather not find out.
