"I know what teamwork is, excuse me for getting excited during fights." Takeshi quipped, frowning as he lifted his arms and folded them behind his head. "Seriously... Just because I get carried away sometimes doesn't mean I can't work with people. You make it sound like I'm a hopeless lone wolf." He'd made it fair evident he could work with other people he figured, after all he had cooperated with his squad, hadn't he? And he and Shu definitely worked pretty well together he liked to think. Bah, he was getting worked up over nothing, he didn't need to worry about this anyways. Changing the topic to food only served to agitate Takeshi, whose own stomach was already letting him know it was well past lunch time. 

"I can't help it if I get hungry guys, and you're all hungry too! I'm just the one to say it." Whatever, they'd eat as soon as this was done with anyways. He could already picture some of the foods that must be in the mess hall, and more precisely the food that the Elite only got to eat. It would all be theirs, some of the most mouth watering delicacies available to Saiyans. Oh just thinking about it now made his mouth water, Kabocha finding it awfully difficult to focus on fighting now. All the more reason to get done with it though, the sooner they beat it the quicker they could sink their teeth into something tasty. Smiling when Choi brought up eating the creature he nodded his own head enthusiastically, quite liking the idea. "Ooooh, yeah! You two and Yumi could cook it up and we could eat it all. If it's half as big as these engineers made it out to be there's going to be a whole lot of meat! Now that you said it I really hope it's edible..."

"And I really hope you guys drop the food conversation," Takeshi interjected, finally defaulting to Kai's side. "All we're doing is making ourselves hungrier talking about it. Let's kick the crap out of this thing and then we can worry about what's going on our plates, deal?" It would be rather helpful if the monster was edible. Considering everyone had left the ship it was safe to assume that there may not be a whole lot in the way of food on board, meaning they'd need some means of stocking up. What little they had on the ship they'd gotten from Sayomi would hardly serve everyone here, let alone just the Saiyans. Off in the distance there was a low rumbling sound, or at least Takeshi thought he heard something. Stopping in his tracks he frowned, listening for anything else following that but unable to pick out anything else. "Did any of you hear that...? Or was it just me?"

Yumi smiled gratefully at Daiko and nodded her head, thankful he'd keep this chat confidential. Maybe she did like Choi, which was odd considering the circumstances that they met. Really she should hate every three of those boys, but they'd come around rather quickly in her eyes. How was she going to explain to everyone else that she might like one of the boys? She worried that Vegeta and Viral would be angry with her, and Kai would be against it. If anyone teased her for it she couldn't really care about that, it was more worrying about upsetting people. Keeping it to herself would just serve to make things harder on herself ultimately, so coming out and saying it would be for the best. If she could get Choi alone later on and bring it up then she'd let the pieces fall where they may and go from there. If he didn't share her feelings or outright rejected her then just as well, she'd rather be turned down then go nuts not knowing.

"He gets flustered really easily..." the Beastman remarked, smiling meekly as he twisted her fingers together. "And... It's kind of cute how he does. I think the reason I like him... Well..." She took pause, shifting around on her seat a little before hiding her face in her hands to cover up her blush. "He just seems more fun than the others. He looks like he would be happy to goof around, and he makes jokes out of things. And... With everything going on it'd be amazing to have someone like that..." They could still be friends like that, Yumi knew that wasn't the only reason she was developing feelings for the Saiyan. Whatever the case it was happening, even if she didn't understand why. 

"I'll just let it hit you next time then?" Vegeta retorted, shouting over his shoulder. Looking back at the spot where the monster had been he was disheartened to see utterly no trace of it. Even if it had been blown up there would be a mark or something, evidence that it had indeed been there. Grumbling under his breath the Saiyan walked back over to the spot, glancing around the room constantly to try and spot the beast. Never having dealt with such a creature before he was oblivious as it moved literally right beneath Vegeta's feet, heading directly for Viral.

The creature sprang up from the floor beneath Viral, enveloping him in its broad arms and dragging him down to the ground. With its prey now in its grasp it readied to bite down on him and begin to feed, but had its parade rained on rather quickly. Feeling a sharp pain in its arm the monster growled furiously, trying to tighten its hold on its prey to make it stop fighting. Instead Viral continued to claw away, managing to tear into its arms a fair bit and eventually make it completely release him, unable to sustain its grip. With a nasty snarl it sank back into the floor, retreating for the moment as it tried to recuperate. It couldn't do anything about its wounds, not unless it had food, then its body would regenerate. For its own well being then it needed to get at least one of these two, even just a bite would suffice. From the floor the monster would scale up the wall, and eventually coming to the ceiling where it had begun. Since Viral was already on the ground it went after him yet again, slipping out of the surface and dropping down, aiming its talons directly down at Viral to pierce his body.

Vegeta again managed to stop the worst from happening, flying up and driving a hard shoulder in the monster to knock it off its course. After striking it initially he sped up and flew by it, coming to a stop as he had the wall to his back and the beast flying towards him. Putting his hands together he lifted them up over his head, reeling back and driving his fists and forearms into the monster when it got close enough, spiking it downwards like a volleyball right in Viral's direction. "Viral! Now's your chance!"
