Takeshi didn't know what the new bit of resentment was between Vegeta and Viral, but decided not to press it. Sighing softly he lifted a hand and rubbed at his head, looking at his friend uncertainly. "I know Yumi will appreciate it. And we all do too, seriously. There's no knowing if these guys came with anyone, so we've got to keep both her and you safe. Better to have strength in numbers, yeah?" Offering a small smile the Saiyan reached over, patting his friend's shoulder in a kind gesture. "And for what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay." Pushing himself up to his feet Takeshi went to Yumi to talk to her, frowning as she went right by him without a word to Viral instead.

"I heard what you were talking about, thanks for asking me." Yumi said flatly, kneeling before Viral. In front of him she became a bit more of herself again, smiling faintly as she offered him a hand. "Come on, we'll walk back to the house. We got some fruit from the others too that you've got to try, it's delicious." Snatching the basket in question up she looked over her shoulder at Shu, biting her lip before reaching into the basket and tossing his piece of fruit to him. "Might as well eat it now, you guys are probably going to be busy and you don't want it to go bad."

"All right guys, we should probably get started as soon as we can. The quicker this gets figured out the sooner we can get everyone to safety." With Viral and Yumi heading home that left six of them to work on their invesitagtion; Kai and Choi, himself and Shu, and Vegeta and Kabocha. The best way to do this then was to break into pairs, but that last group was a little disconcerting. Looking between the two lone members a timid smile crossed Takeshi's lips, getting puzzled looks from each parties. "What do you two think about working together? If we want to be efficient we ought to do groups, and you two are the only ones without someone to team up with."

Vegeta made no secret of his dislike for that idea, groaning audibly at the prospect and giving Takeshi an incredulous look. "I'm already helping out someone who hurt my friend, now you expect me to team up with them?" he asked in surprise and disgust.

"They really aren't bad guys Vegeta, honest!" Takeshi replied, smiling a bit as he waved his hands dismissively. "They were following orders, I'm sure they're sorry about what happened."

"Yeah, I'm sorry if this doesn't work..." Kabocha grumbled, earning a miffed look from his former leader. Huffing he placed his hands on his hips, scuffing the toe of his boot into the dirt for a silent moment. This whole situation was less than ideal, but on the slim margin of chance it did work they would feasibly be free. Finally relenting he looked up at Vegeta, extending a hand to the other boy stiffly. "All right, I guess we've got no choice really. If it means getting my mom and dad out safely I'll do it."

"And if it means keeping my friends safe then fine, but don't expect us to get along." Vegeta added, more to Takeshi as he shook Kabocha's hand. Letting it go he sighed, giving the elder brother a curious look. "So before we run off, mind explaining exactly what's going on? What's the deal with these people anwyays?"

Takeshi thought about that for a moment, biting his lip trying to recall what they'd been told. Really all he had to go off of was what the General had told him, plus idle chatter from soldiers, and that was a pretty one sided view of it. In a small epiphany he looked to Shu hopefully, figuring his brother could fill in some blanks. "Can you tell everyone what you and Yumi learned? We need to know exactly what the situation is."
