"I'm new to this too Choi, so don't think you're alone here." Yumi chimed, smiling rather happily. It was impossible not to smile right now, this was by far the best thing that happened to her in some time. Reuniting with her friends was a very close second, but now she had someone she could consider more than a friend. The feeling she got, welling up inside her chest, it was wonderful. There was such an urge to spend as much time with Choi now, to get to know him better and just talk to him. If nothing else he was just fun to be around, his presence enough in of itself to make her happy. It certainly calmed her too, taking her mind off of certain things she'd rather not contemplate. Giggling a bit she shrugged her shoulders, cocking her head to the side slightly. "Well get used to it, you're one of the good guys now Choi. Lots of people are going to be nice to you from now on."

Getting fair bold for a moment Yumi quickly gave her boyfriend a hug, wanting to convey that things were going to be alright. They had to be, they both had not only each other but their friends and families now, it couldn't possibly go badly now. Pulling away she smiled at Choi sympathetically, giving a curt nod of her head. She may not love Kai, certainly not Daiko, but she didn't want either of them to end up how Shu and Viral had. Or how she had too. It was bar none the most unpleasant experience she had ever gone through, not something she'd wish even on her greatest enemy. Her changes weren't all bad, at least Choi seemed to like her new look, so not a total loss. When he asked if she liked them all Yumi could do was shrug her shoulders, smiling meekly at the Saiyan boy. Like probably wasn't the proper word, that would involve enjoying this to some degree. Habitually she reached up to the side of her head where her ear used to be, instead feeling naught but smooth skin and hair. Her ears were now atop her head, one of the few changes she had gone through. It was still taking some getting used to, that was sure. But she couldn't let Choi know how she felt, she didn't want to spread her grief.

With Earth quite a ways from their current position it was ultimately elected that a change in plans. They would still return to the group's home, but first there was the curious matter of the monster that had been encountered. Not a single person on board the ship could place where it had come from, nor could anyone explain what had happened when it had been beaten. Nothing like it existed anywhere as far as the collective knowledge was concerned, so it had to be from a far reach of space. Having the unique ability to travel through surfaces it had been a fair dangerous for indeed, yet thankfully not all that strong. The possibility of more of those beasts, potentially stronger ones at that, was awfully troubling. It had taken two strong fighters just to beat one of them, the thought of a horde was unsettling indeed. If this creature hadn't been brought on intentionally by the Saiyans then it had slipped on somehow, somewhere along the line. A monster like that was dangerous, it was in their interest then to discover where it had come from and if at all possible keep any more from getting off the world. But where exactly had it come from anyways?

Vegeta had come up with a solution, by tracking through the ships travel logs to find the last world visited. It only made sense it was the last place they went, as someone would have noticed the creature otherwise before now. The only information available in the ship's recorder were the coordinates for the world, no name or any other information to offer. If anything it must have been a pit stop then, every other world had a fair bit of data. They had the route to get there though, and certainly the means as well. Only Vegeta and the engineers remained awake to pilot the craft while everyone else went to get some rest, everyone having eaten before doing so. In spite of the large size the vessel was proving to be awfully maneuverable, and quick too. Much faster than the rebel craft they had been lent, and just as smooth as a ride. One hour passed fair quick, and then a second, and soon they were upon the planet. It was a gray looking orb floating in the midst of three moons, small splotches of green and blue the only indication it was not just another satellite. Once they all were ready they could get to work and land, hopefully clearing out these monsters and making travel a little safer in the process. First things first, Viral had to be woken and everyone needed to gear up.

"You sure he's going to be all healed by now?" Yumi asked worriedly, looking at the tank. "It's only been a few hours."

"These pods work remarkably well Yumi, so yes, he'll be healed. Physically at least, it'll put him back in shape before any of this happened, if I understand right." Vegeta replied as he busily worked on bringing the systems down. The oxygen would be cut off last, his first concern was to drain the liquids. Finding the proper controls he opened up a small drain on the bottom, watching as the healing fluids began to seep out of the pod, draining steadily. Only once everything was drained out could they pull Viral free from the container and his sensors. He ought to be dried off as well, so Shu was standing by, his little arms full of a towel and a set of clothing. It would be Saiyan garb, probably not ideal but certainly better than going stark naked.

"If you say so, though I can't help but worry still." It was quite a bit of damage that the Beastman had to come back from, and with his healing not working properly this machine was going to have to make up for things. Looking at Choi uncertainly she sighed, leaning against him and sliding her hand into hers. A fitful nap and now this was making her awfully unsettled, she very much needed his presence right now. 

Takeshi waited patiently for all of the liquid to drain before opening the door, letting Kabocha in past him to support Viral, as he was still asleep. While the latter held the Beastman Takeshi went about removing the wires and mask, letting them hang idly along the sides of the tube while easing their friend out. It was kind of gross, he was covered in the liquid and it was awfully slimy to the touch, and he'd already showered once today. Ah well, it would dry up. Following Vegeta's prompts they sat Viral down in one of the chairs, being careful not to let him fall out as he was set down. Vegeta then walked over to the Beastman, leaning over and giving his cheek a patting to try and wake him up.

"Viral...? Rise and shine, you're done in the tank. Can you hear me?"
