Yumi felt that way however ridiculous it might be, and how couldn't she? She was traveling with Saiyans, people who aggravatingly were stronger than her naturally, even if not more skilled fighters. Then there was Viral who had both strength and skill on his side and Vegeta as well, not even to mention Eris, Orion and the others who had joined them since this began. Maybe it was an inferiority thing, she'd always been one of the best in her classes and now she felt like she was catching up to everyone else. "So why is it okay for you to think that way?" she pressed, turning the question around on Viral as she frowned at him, "I don't think anyone else could have done what you did today, killing those things. And you were sick for so long and still kept fighting and helping us win, no one else could have managed that either. So I don't get where you think you're inferior from." Shaking her head once Yumi smiled and looked to the villagers, finding a little joy in the fact that despite what they had been through they seemed happier, now that she and the others were here. "Plus look at what we're doing and how many people we're helping. How can you feel bad about that?"

So did Shu want someone grooming him? They had tried it before and Takeshi couldn't quite commit, repulsed by the idea he may be picking bugs out of his brother's hair and subsequently eating them. If he just wanted someone cleaning his hair then... Maybe he could manage? Either way they could sort out their hygiene later, Vegeta was needing them to help out with getting their friends back and that was far more important. Maybe not as important as helping Shu with his problem of changing, but that couldn't be helped either, not right now anyway. Moving closer to the portal he peered through their side of things to try getting an idea of it, finding it looked not unlike the dry deserts of Shaharia. For all his eagerness usually to get into the thick of it Takeshi couldn't say he loved the idea of heading over there, and from the sound of his brother neither could he. Glancing back he put on a smile and extended a hand, nodding his head towards the portal and trying to seem confident for Shu's sake. "Hey you'll be with your big brother, and Yumi and Viral are there too, we'll be fine," he reassured, taking Shu's hand and looking at the portal, "T'charrl, keep the door open will ya? We'll be right back with the others, and when we get back you'd better believe we're celebrating!"

Taking a deep breath Takeshi gave Shu one last nod before stepping into the portal, bracing for who knows what was on the other side. As soon as they were through the first thing he noticed was the hot air, definitely similar to a desert. Taking a breath and almost coughing at how dry it felt the older boy looked around where they had come out, finding themselves on a slight rise above the rest of the otherwise flat ground before them. Quite a lot could be seen from here, they had gotten pretty lucky with where they had been dumped out. "Man... Not even a single tree in sight, what a shitty place," he pointed out as they approached the edge of the rise. Peering down over it they saw it wasn't a huge drop to get down, they could probably jump and be just fine. Scanning the area to check for anything of note Takeshi pulled on Shu's arm when he spotted their friends in the distance, pointing to their small figures a ways off. "Look, you seeing what I'm seeing buddy?" he asked before grinning, trying to take off to go down to them. Nothing happened. Furrowing his brow Takeshi looked at his legs as though they were the problem and even went as far as jumping once to no avail, utterly beside himself why he couldn't take off. "Eh... Shu? Can you fly?"
