Shu had meant to be supportive and catch Takeshi, but he really did underestimate his strength when it turned out Takeshi was heavier than he could support when he was falling. Stumbling with Takeshi for a bit before coming to a stop he kept his eyes shut tight, not knowing if he was okay himself until he heard Takeshi speak up. Slowly opening his eyes he stared up at Takeshi, his vision coming back together before realising he was near enough okay since he wasn’t dreaming. “I-…I did…?” he muttered before slowly moving to get up again. Other than feeling like he was hurting somewhere he couldn’t quite pinpoint he was still able to move, his eyes going to Takeshi to see if he could move too. “Ooohhh…I try! But I still fail…”

Viral knew it was going to be tight trying to get to the portal, he knew it would be extremely hazardous to hang around as well to see if the creature would become too distracted to notice where they were trying to head as well. Hoping Yumi would see the light and decide it was right to head back he slowly looked to the other two as she did, sighing in relief that she decided to go with his plan. Grunting as she took hold of him to assist him he looked down at her, hardly wanting her to have to struggle in pain. Even if he tried to take control and allow her to take the weight off her leg he wouldn’t be able to get it, he was just too weak to even try. He was struggling the entire way with the desperation to keep his guard up for that creature.

Shu was pretty confused when he heard Yumi shout out only to be grabbed by Takeshi and hastily taken to the portal. Now he was feeling pretty scared, like he was being chased all over again. Holding onto Takeshi tight he tried to protect his head as they got closer to the portal, hoping it would all be okay in the end. Amazingly it was alright and quickly they were through the portal as well, but it wasn’t over yet. Squeaking, he looked back at the portal before covering his head again, feeling rather terrified that he was going to get hit from the other side. “He was following! Rocks in sky! Bad rocks!”

T’charrl had been sapping Vegeta and Haku for all the energy he could just to keep this portal up and powered for as long as he could, it was an awful lot of work to keep it maintained and a lot of energy too. If it had just been quick then it would had been better, but he had to keep it up for ages. His energy was near completely dry too, he didn’t know what he might have been forced to do if he had to keep it open for longer. Once everyone was through he thought that was it for the portal, but with apparently a creature in pursuit the Beastmen were forced to fire at it from the other side of his portal. He could feel the energy pass through the open dimensions and quite frankly it felt like he was burning on the inside, even though he wasn’t. While it was necessary for them to do that he didn’t think it was worth his health. Gasping when he was barked at to close the portal he raised his claws up quickly before lowering them, dragging the portal down to close it off. There was nothing left of the portal, everything had gone quiet as the environment returned to normal. Placing a hand to his heart he took in deep breaths, briefly looking to Vegeta when he gave him a thumbs up but not really thinking much of it.

Viral made one look back at the portal before it was banished, his eyes staring at its spot before slowly turning around again, his paw slowly going to his chest. That was over for now, but there was nothing stopping those monsters from reappearing again while they were all down. They had made it back, but there was still the danger of getting ambushed. He didn’t know if he was being paranoid or it was an honest worry, everybody else seemed to be relieved and trying to relax themselves and yet there he was still expecting a fight. Trying to remain standing he stared outward for a moment, his weary eyes focusing on the scouts for a moment before he looked to his paw as Yumi took hold of it again. Staring at her he soon groaned as he looked away, shifting his foot slightly to keep up right. “You need medical attention…”

Once the portal was shut down Shu fell on the ground, remaining faceplanted as he slowly moved his hands onto the back of his head. He really did try to help this time but he still wasn’t strong enough. Maybe if he was a little bigger he would’ve been able to catch Takeshi without a problem and saved them both the injury, but he wasn’t and probably wasn’t going to grow much in the next while to improve any of his catching skills. It certainly made him feel upset, especially when he ended up getting all cut and bruised up in the process as well. When Takeshi asked him how he was feeling he let out a groan, his face still in the dirt. “Ooohhhh…Shu couldn’t catch…no much help…”
