"I'm not telling you how to fight Viral, I just want you to be careful while fighting..." Yumi said, still a fair bit meek in the dark. "There's a difference." She wasn't trying to dictate his every move, or if it came across that way then it wasn't the intent. All she wanted was for him to be safe, that shouldn't be such an absurd request coming from a friend. After the indignant spook from a little rodent she shot Viral a nasty gaze when he poked at her fears, only sticking her tongue out and letting go. She still felt that suffocating sensation that came when being in the dark, but her annoyance overrode that for the most part. Still, she held her own arms again, looking around for some kind of light. "Maybe I did get better eyesight, maybe I just don't know how to use it..." Yumi remarked, shrugging her shoulders. There had to be some kind of light around here, she couldn't stay in the black like this. Holding one hand out then she began to meander around the temple, trying to find a switch, or even a torch to light. Not seeing much made things definitively more difficult, and goodness knows where the torches might even be if there were any. 

Yumi kept up her blind escapade, desperate to find a light source. She managed to find an interior pillar more than once, and the wall, but no lights. Using the faint glow of the door as her starting point she opted to travel deeper inside, becoming infinitely more timid the further she went. To Viral who could see in the dark she must look absurd, shuffling about like an old woman as she was. The temple itself was proving to be larger than she thought, and more than once she figured she would have reached the end only to find there was yet more room to go. Eventually she was ready to turn back, figuring this place was most likely abandoned. Before she did her hand finally reached out and touched something she had yet to touch. It was cool to the touch like the stone, but felt a bit more rough, nothing like the polished finish of the structure. Confused she ran her hand along the surface, moving up and down to try and figure out what it was. Eventually her hand slipped off of the rocky surface and found what felt like fur, but that wasn't right. Why would there be fur? As her hand raked across the hairs there was a loud snorting noise that came from directly before her, making her cringe as her sensitive ears were rattled a bit by the sound. With the noise came the lighting of several pyres spread throughout the temple, lighting down in a line from the very back where she stood towards the doors. Once the final one was lit they could see inside almost as plain as day, and she could see what she had been prodding at.

Face to face with what she'd thought to be a wall she soon realized it was a foot, covered in a stone plate with tufts of brownish fur poking out from between it. Moving her gaze up the limb she took a step back, eyes widening seeing a leg, then another. The legs led to a torso, and that to arms and finally a head, with bright yellow eyes, staring directly down at her. Blinking owlishly for a second she finally managed to get her wits, making an indescribable sound of surprise before rushing back towards Viral. Turning herself around she looked at the creature again, astonished at how massive it was. She had been touching [i]that[/i]?

The creature wasn't quite sure as to what was going on here. It had been sleeping per usual when something had begun tugging at its foot, rousing it from its slumber. Now that it was awake he was greeted with the sight of two... Well he wasn't sure what they were, but two little peoples staring up at him. Were they his sacrifices? Or maybe a snack? Letting out a bellowing yawn the creature slowly rose up off of his makeshift throne, his head almost reaching the ceiling as he stood at full height. Rubbing at his head he then looked down at the pair again, cocking his head to the side. "And who are you two...? My dinner?"

Takeshi may well have to admit he was a little over his head. First he hadn't been able to finish off one of the monsters despite shoving his sword right into its chest. What should have been a surefire kill only resulted in ticking off the creature, and his partner too. Trying to capitalize on his weapon then he'd gone after the second, only to have the blade lodge into the beast and remain there as he was swatted away. Now here he was, hovering in the air like a dolt with no weapon, and ergo no means of hurting these things. "I didn't mean to let it go! The thing was just stuck!" he whined, gesturing down to his weapon fitfully. Now he had to pull it out, right from the creature's shoulder where he was well in position to be munched on. Oh this really wasn't going to be fun. Takeshi again couldn't understand the degree of respect and value placed in his blade, watching as T'charrl went right after the weapon. Rolling his eyes in exasperation the Saiyan took after him, not wanting to let his friend go it alone.

The creature had turned its head to try and yank the blade free with its teeth, finding having a sword stuck in itself quite annoying. Try as it might its neck simply wasn't long enough, the blade wasn't going anywhere. Diverting his attention then as the dusty one came flying towards it the monster growled lowly, reeling on its hind legs before taking a swipe with its claws. Managing to miss both hits it let out a sharp yelp as the blade was yanked free, causing a deep gash on its shoulder that made it topple over, temporarily though. Fair soon it was back on its feet, only to get knocked down again as the Saiyan rammed into its head, hitting it square with his feet. Dazed it laid down for a moment as its partner went on the attack, growling angrily when their prey took to the air and well out of their reach.

"Ow... Ow... It's like kicking a steel wall..." Takeshi mumbled as he rose up, reaching down and giving his legs a rubbing. These things were solid as heck, that was for sure. At least they had gotten the sword back, that meant they could actually do some damage now. Small problem however, he couldn't well make use of the weapon properly. It was a sorry thing to admit, but he was useless with the sword. "T'charrl...? How about you use that thing from now on?" he called, smiling sheepishly as he scratched at his cheek. "I'm not very good with it... So uh... You attack and I'll help, sound good?"
