"That won't happen T'charrl, we've taken extra care to make sure it doesn't. The reason so many people were brought along is we've established a network through the chasm, an early warning system if you will. If a strong gust pushes through they send word down our way and we let it pass. Nema has some system to gauge the strength of winds and he assures me it's foolproof." Of course having so many people o hand to assist them worked as a double edged blade: safety went up but their time arguably was reduced, the system was only as good as long as everyone present could remain. Most of those helping were the King's men and thus they would in one form or another be carrying out his work regardless, but to the same end there were other duties they needed to attend to. Were they closer to their own home perhaps Yusef would have brought some men with him to help as well, but traveling so far was out of the question. Taking a break for food fruit was handed out to everyone and the General sat upon a stump, turning over a fruit in his claws and laughing at his son's outburst. "I am only teasing, relax T'charrl! And from what we've been told it depends largely on the weather, otherwise the winds are usually constant. We should be safe to do this as long as we want to today, or as long as you're able."

"Whatever, I don't care about your family. You sure as shit don't care about mine." Krom would always be a piece of crap who justified being such by following orders, but you only followed lousy orders like that if you were a crappy person to begin with. No decent person kidnapped children so they could be put through awful tests. So all the guy had in mind was some extra weight huh? Nothing actually difficult? Takeshi was going to show this jerk up and make it look like a breeze. "Fine, fine, no sparring until Shu feels better, I get it,' Takeshi said with a wave of his hand, smirking as he started to gather up weights for himself, "And it's not me that's going to bother him, I didn't drag him to my insane father now did I? If anyone here is making things hard for him its you." The bastard was right though, he had to shut the hell up if Shu was to have any hope of relaxing during their training. It was his fault Shu was the way he was and the last thing he wanted to do was prevent his brother from getting better. "You know... I'll give you this much: when we first met you were definitely stronger than we were, by a lot," Takeshi said as he put on a weighted vest, leaning over to fasten weights to his legs as well, "But we're going to be stronger than you before long, and then we'll be stronger than our shitty old man too. And when that happens his whole world is coming crashing down, you got me? And that means anyone who supports him is going down too, which means you. And don't you forget that. Now let's get this crap out of the way so we can get back to kicking your ass."

Was he holding back? Vegeta was just trying to keep himself from being pummeled, throwing back any strikes like this would only result in them trading blows unnecessarily. Knocking aside another fist he frowned as Viral shouted to him more and continued throwing punch after punch, clearly agitated by his defensive approach. "Holding back? I wasn't, I was waiting for this." Pushing aside another punch Vegeta folded his hand and struck Viral in the chest, stepping forward with his back foot and hitting him again with an open palm, exhaling as he watched the Beastman stagger slightly. Quickly blocking another punch Vegeta moved to take a step back, catching his toe on the ground and stumbling back, leaving him open as he took a punch to the jaw. Nearly spinning around he caught himself and blinked the stars away, turning and catching another punch thrown. "You're not holding back either I see, either that or you're stronger than I remember," Vegeta commented, catching another punch and trying to push Viral back as they locked grips. Seeing it going nowhere he glanced down for a split second at his friend's feet before sweeping a leg out to try and knock him over, intending to grab Viral's arm and lift him over and throw him onto his back if it should work. "Don't underestimate me just because I've been out of action."
