Five people in three pods, the arrangements were less than ideal as far as space was concerned. They weren't exactly big by themselves, but when only so much space was available to them it didn't take a lot to make the area feel tight. Takeshi had squished in with Kai, and Vegeta with Kabocha, leaving Choi as the only one with any room to spread his legs and relax. The only solace they had was that the ride in these vessels was always incredibly smooth, even upon entering an atmosphere. They wouldn't jostle about or be tossed side to side nearly as much as the others would be in the rebel ship. Still though, it seemed small consolation. There wasn't time to complain, they had to get going and get this mission of theirs underway, Once everyone had settled and a brief pre-flight diagnostics run the three pods simultaneously rose up into the air, rising through treetops and breaking off a few branches during their ascent. In no time at all they were well over the trees, able to see for leagues in either direction. It was a beautiful sight, yet they couldn't linger. Giving the go ahead Choi's pod would go off first, seeing as he'd have the easiest time piloting being alone. Kai followed close behind his twin and Kabocha would take up the rear, being the pod that the others would tail. In a series of white streaks they shot across the sky, climbing quickly up into the cloudy cover of Kaesstra before entering the vast emptiness of space. 

Takeshi couldn't hide his disappointment at leaving so soon, having been keen on actually taking a breather for once. It was obvious why they were leaving, they had to. When he was hoping for a break though, and wanting to give Shu all the fruit he could eat it was a bit of a letdown. Watching the planet slowly shrink against the canvas of black he let out a sigh, easing himself down onto the floor of the pod as Kai was in the single seat. With the pods homing in on their mother craft it was really a hands off journey, the only one having to do any manual piloting being Viral. If there was debris the squad would have to avoid it themselves of course, other than that they had little input. Now that they were well free of the atmosphere and on their way to the Saiyan ship it was probably a good idea to make sure everyone was doing okay post-take off. Or really Takeshi just wanted to check up on his brother, knowing how he fared in tight spaces.

"Shu...? Can you hear me buddy?" Takeshi asked, pressing the open channel button on his communicator. "Just want to make sure you're okay and not having a bad time of things. The ride up wasn't too bumpy?" Maybe he was being a bit protective, a bit overprotective even. Being the eldest sibling and the only family Shu had he definitely had a sense of this innate need to be almost a parent figure as well as a brother. Hopefully he wasn't going to end up smothering his sibling doing this.

"Hey, boss? Emergency use only mean anything to you?" Kabocha chimed, grinning as he spoke. "I'd hate for the soldiers to figure out what's going on just because you had to say hi to your kid brother." Vegeta shared the sentiments, even laughing slightly as Kabocha chastised their friend. Knowing him he was beet red with either anger or embarrassment right now, probably both. Had he seriously forgotten that it was an open channel for everyone with a scouter, meaning their entire group.

Yumi hid a small giggle behind her hand, finding it both adorable and amusing that Takeshi was being such a worry wart. It was amazing how much he fussed over Shu now, he never used to be like this. It was definitely a nice change, certainly from the arrogant and mouthy kid he used to be. He'd never want to hear it, but in a way Viral used to be much the same. It had been a while ago, but the Beastman had acted almost the same way. Always looking out for her and Vegeta, being more or less the epitome of what a big brother would be like. If someone should cross them though, or if one of her childhood admirers happened to get too close or be rude then he could be awfully sour. Looking over at her friend out of the corner of her eye she smirked knowingly, resisting the temptation to tease him about it. He needed to focus on flying the ship, not her little jokes. Those would wait until later. With little need to help pilot their craft she adjusted her seat, leaning back slightly and closing her eyes, letting out a soft, squeaky yawn.

"Do you mind if I take a five minute nap...?" Yumi asked, not opening her eyes. "I haven't slept very well lately, I could use it. If you need a hand I can... Stay up though."
