"That one punch seems to have done the job," the creature replied, picking himself back up and flexing his beefy fingers. "Do not underestimate the power of a single strike. Sometimes that is all it takes." So this one was going to play the bravado card, typical. There had been many like him before, none of which had ever lived to try doing it again. So it would be then this ones fate to join the others in oblivion for his foolishness. Watching curiously as Viral gathered energy in his crest the creature held still, assuming he would have to block an attack once more. As the energy fizzled out instead the mech began to run at him, and of course the god tried to smack away the smaller opponent, wanting to keep him at arm's length. One fist slammed into the ground just to the right, missing as the Beastman swerved. His other hand slammed flat on the ground, missing as well as it smashed through the tiled flooring and stuck in the ground. Sluggish as it was the creature could do little when Viral slipped under him, and a sharp pang along his inner leg told him he had been struck. Grumbling angrily the creature lifted up its hands, lifting a foot and trying unsuccessfully to step on and crush his opponent. Seeing nothing beneath its foot the large being turned itself around, glowering down at Viral. "Stop this nonsense, it's a frugal effort." Yumi was doing her best to stay out of the way, trying to leave the fighting up to Viral as he wanted. There wasn't nearly as much concern as there had been initially, the 'god' was pretty slow and a big target, so in all it should be a fair easy battle. That one punch did make her worry a little for a moment, yet her friend picked himself right up and got back to the fray, hardly showing signs of slowing down. Indeed she would have well kept out of the matter entirely were it not for the failed attack on Viral's part grabbing her attention. Seeing his crest flicker like it did alerted her to a rather serious problem; sunlight was all but nonexistent in this place. Viral's ability may be new to her, but it was a safe guess it used his energy to maintain it. With no sun to help fuel his powers he'd run out sooner or later, and that mech was probably his ticket to winning. By that end they needed a way to get sunlight into the building, and a lot of it. With the creature's back to her she took the opportunity to fly on up towards the ceiling, looking around for any sign of a skylight or window but finding none. That wasn't such a big problem, they could improvise. Hopefully the structure was going to handle it well. "All you're doing is bothering me, little one. Can't you see your struggle is fruitless?" The creature took a step towards Viral again, a little bit of blood seeping from its wound as the leg was extended and contorted again. "Spare yourself a painful death and submit. I am merciful, I will make it quick, as I do for all of my sacrifices. You need not suffer if you give in." An arm lifted into the air again, the hand balling into a tight fist that was primed to slam down on Viral again. Before it could so much as move an inch however there was a loud blast that echoed behind the fighting pair, following by the sound of large rocks crumbling and others hitting the floor. Baffled the creature turned its head, surprised to see a gaping hole put into the ceiling of its home. And there, floating in the middle of it, was the female, covered in dirt and dust from the blast. How dare she defile his temple like that, did she have no regard for his position? Deciding she should be dealt with first he turned around once more, swinging out at her angrily. "I'll kill you first... For ruining my home..." His attack missed, and the creature let out a sound of displeasure as a rock fell down, clocking him on the head before tumbling to the ground. Takeshi was relieved that the creature didn't get into the cave, not entirely sure where it was going otherwise. Perhaps they had managed to scare it off, were they so lucky. Even if that were the case he fully intended on remaining where they were for the time being, just to make sure the natives were going to be safe. Not only that but there was the small matter of T'charrl's transformation to contend with. While it was new to the Saiyan the idea of becoming feral wasn't, he'd plenty of experience between Shu and Viral. So as with them he opted to go for a sort of gentle approach, hoping perhaps to talk down his friend. Making sure not to do anything that would come across as threatening Takeshi gave what reassurance he could, keeping distance enough not to give the wrong impression. Seeing the Kaesstrian struggle to bring himself down from his violent high he tried to come up with a means to help, rubbing at his head thoughtfully. Finally an idea hit him, and with a snap of his fingers the Saiyan smiled brightly. "Hang on a second! I know what might help!" Recalling what was said earlier Takeshi hurried over to the cart, glad to find it was still untouched despite all the mayhem that had taken place. Grabbing hold of the handles he dragged it back to the entrance of the den, dropping it down before T'charrl and gesturing to it hopefully. He had said food helped him stay calm, so a nice meal should be just the ticket to get him back to himself. "And so the thing got away, no big deal right? It's not attacking the den, so it's not a threat. Besides, I'm sure we'll find it before we leave here, not like a crippled monster can go all that far." Sort of a problem that the thing didn't bleed, that meant no trail to follow. One way or another they'd dig up the creature, perhaps literally, and see it was done in. Couldn't risk it still wandering around after all.
