Yay Navy ^^ Throwing food overboard since WW2. Like when we threw Osama overboard, he was noms for the sharks :3
Maybe this alien was supposed to be a guard dog? He sure whined like one, and he was all fluffy, it would make sense. Though guard dogs usually couldn't use Ki, not that it worried the kid much. Smiling amused he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. "Oh, I'm a Saiyan genius, can't you tell? I'd tell you my name but it won't matter soon anyways." The alien wouldn't be around long enough to remember his name, no point in sharing it. Getting hissed at made the boy grin widely, finding T'charrl's anger amusing if nothing else. "Me? Oh... I wanted to see the flowers and all the trees. I just love nature. But then I saw your ugly mug scarring the landscape and thought I had to get ride of you immediately." With a chuckle he turned around, laying upside down on the roof with his arms under his head. It sure was easy riling this one up, he'd barely done anything and he was already beginning to throw a fit. "No, it's not my home? Oh darn, and I was sure I was on Kortal. I guess I should probably be on my way then, huh? Or..." He paused, grinning and extending an arm as he gathered a sizable Ki blast. "I can just kill you!"

Shu was having a blast flying around, even if he didn't exactly have it down yet. Hey, it was easier to learn something if you enjoyed it though right? Hopefully this meant Shu would be a master in no time. Takeshi couldn't quite say why his brother felt he had to use his hands to direct himself, though rarely did the little guy go for conventional tricks anyways. Smiling amused he watched Shu flutter about without a care in the world, finding his excitement infectious. "You can do all sorts of tricks too once you get flying down too, you know. Flips and spins and other things. And you can play tricks on people in a fight. Like..." With some distance between them Takeshi flew right at Shu, making a move almost as if he were going to punch him. Just as the gap closed he used an after image, his visage flying straight through his brother as he came to rest behind the other boy. Grinning ear to ear he poked his sibling's shoulder, waving at him cheekily as he turned around. "I doubt you'll be able to do that like I can," he added, placing his hands behind his head smugly, "But you can do something like it, maybe."
"I sure can see it! Your plan worked, who would have though?" Takeshi was pretty impressed, he'd honestly expected Shu to just plummet back down and have to catch him. Seeing the little guy floating there, however unsteadily was pretty nice. It was a long cry from flying about at high speeds, or even controlling his flight, but that was yet another big hurdle he'd overcome. Since he had asked how to move around the older boy provided a simple example, floating backwards casually before coming back to his brother. It was an easy enough thing to do really, just pushing yourself along with Ki was all it took. Rather quickly Shu got the hang of that as well and began to drift about, a little haphazardly but he was still doing it. "You're doing it right... For the most part. You shouldn't be going in circles like that," Takeshi replied, laughing. "If you only push from one side then you'll spin, you have to do both your left and your right to stay straight. See, otherwise you get this." Putting out one hand flat he smirked at Shu, releasing a large burst of invisible Ki and causing himself to whip around in a circle rather quickly. Laughing as he did so the Saiyan quirked an eyebrow at his brother, "Got it?"

Hah, the moron fell for it! Little alien was jumping all over trying to avoid the attacks and he still didn't know where they were coming from. Oh, but there was his own little attack, ready and primed to fire. How cute, though it was doubtful that little blast could do anything. Grinning from the bush he was hid in the Saiyan glanced down at his hand, slowly forming another Ki ball of his own. "Alright weirdo... Let's see how you handle this..." From the thickets of the forest T'charrl would see another Ki orb thrown straight at him, and then two more that came to the left of the first. A final came from the right, all four moving at different paces but all at the Kaesstrian. Taking the chance to move again he raced along the bushes, cutting into the field and dashing up along the opposite side of the house. Seeing that the alien didn't even realize he was there yet the Saiyan jumped up onto the roof, sitting down on the peak casually cross-legged. This was too easy, he was really wondering why the Princes had this thing around with them. A pet perhaps? "Poor alien, you're so slow!"
Shu's explanation didn't help shed much more light on the situation sadly, Takeshi was still kind of lost. Ah well, they would work around it whatever it was, he was certain of that. Throwing the little guy into the air hadn't quite been what he'd had in mind this morning, but if Shu was willing to give it a go then they should give it a shot. "I hope you can, I don't want to have to keep catching you today," he teased lightly, grabbing his brother's arm. With a brief countdown he lifted Shu up easily, tossing him right up into the air and watching as he soared up. Worrying initially that the little guy might fall back down he smiled seeing him hovering, albeit after quite the display of trying to find himself. Beaming happily Takeshi slowly rose up to join his brother, folding his arms over his chest as he looked on. "Move by releasing more Ki in the direction opposite that you want to move. See... Like this. I'm going to move away from you..." he paused, pushing Ki forward and moving backwards as a result. "So I pushed it out of my front. It'll force you back from whatever way you release it, so you've gotta keep that in mind. And don't take it fast, moving around really doesn't take any Ki at all."

Watching this one was proving to be pretty boring, he just wasn't doing anything. Maybe this was how Earthlings trained, what an odd way to go about it. Sparring and fighting worked much better than this, what a waste of time. Still... If nothing else he had arrived at his destination, and now the Saiyan just had to play the waiting game. Either that... Or draw the Princes back. If he could create a large enough distraction, blow something up maybe, then surely they'd return. All he had to do was find them after all, an easy enough job really. Smirking he held a hand upside down, gathering a small amount of Ki in the palm of his hand silently. If this alien was traveling with the Princes then it probably knew how to fight, maybe. Time to test that theory. Opting to toy with it a bit he chuckled, growing the Ki orb before cocking his arm back and releasing it, sending it in a curving path right at T'charrl. As it sped towards the Kaesstrian he moved from his spot, tossing a second in a different path for good measure to keep the alien guessing. Hehe, he wondered how long he could pester him like this.
Takeshi smiled encouragingly at Shu, figuring his basic example was more than enough for him to work with. This was all easier said than done and he would give the little guy that much, but he still needed to work on it regardless. Evidently his display hadn't made his brother any more confident, if anything it worried him even more than he already was. "You're in water...? So... Does it feel like you're floating or something...?" he asked, not quite understanding Shu's point. Scratching at his head he frowned a little, not totally sure how his proposal would work out. "Hm... We can try it if you really want to," he said, shrugging and getting to his feet. "You'll be trying to keep yourself in the air though, which is harder than just taking off. Buuuut... If you want to give it a go." Could be fun to see Shu floating around all haphazardly, so long as he didn't come crashing down. Grabbing his brother's arm Takeshi winked playfully, pulling him a bit closer and glancing up for a second. Hm... Not too hard, he didn't want Shu to be overly high up in the air. "Ready? I'm going to throw you up on 3, so get ready. One... Two..." After two he grinned, yanking on Shu's arm and tossing him up in the air, watching curiously. "Good luck!"

So this was the right place... But people were missing. Neither of the brothers were at the house, and their energies were much too far away. Chasing after them wasn't completely out of the question, though something else had caught the boy's eye. There was some kind of alien at their home, training by the looks of him. He was an... Interesting looking one, that was for sure. The energy coming from him was anything but threatening, he was just big and bulky, probably a really easy mark. Hm... Was the alien a friend of the Princes? Maybe if he could capture this one they could be used as bait. Or at the very least he could just kill the creature for fun, time on Earth had been very boring so far. For the time being though he was going to just observe and see what was going on. He kept tossing that energy around, just what was he doing exactly? Some training, now that he thought of it this looked more like playing. Feh, so had he stumbled across some alien just playing games? What a waste of time...
"I know you can do it the right way, just take it slow," Takeshi repeated, nodding his head. He knew Shu could do it, he's gotten close before. Now it was just a matter of fine tuning things, and once he did that he'd be fine. He kept a careful eye on his brother while he tried to fly, actually rather worried he might somehow hurt himself. The first attempt of the day got him really worried as Shu blasted up in a rather quick burst, thankfully coming down in a much more graceful fashion than before. Sighing softly Takeshi smiled a bit, rubbing at his forehead with a chuckle. "Slow doesn't usually mean blasting off like a rocket, but at least you landed better. Don't be in such a hurry buddy, you have to ease yourself into it. By the looks of things you're putting way too much Ki into it to do things. Even if you barely put out energy just try that this time, it'll go smoother. Watch me okay?"

Placing his feet both flat on the ground Takeshi slowly raised up in the air, hovering just a few meters above the ground as he more or less stood completely still. "See? It doesn't take a lot to fly, does it? I'm hardly using any and I'm up this high. Now... If you keep doing what you just did..." With a brief wave the older boy suddenly blasted up into the air, laughing as he became a rather small speck against the skybox rather quickly. Stopping his own Ki Takeshi floated back down, using a little Ki to break his fall as he landed near where he'd began. "Just a tiny bit is all you need, and that's that. I can catch you if you blast off again, but try not to. You'll never get it down if you keep going too hard." Figuring to be as hands off as possible he took a seat on the ground, folding his arms across his chest and giving Shu a curious look. "You mentioned it coming out of your knees... Yeah...? Is it hard for you to keep it from leaking out? What's your issue there?"
Don't be hating on my Navy D:
"Then I suppose you've plenty of reason to trust what I say, don't you?" Aito mused, smirking. "It's your power so you can handle it, it's just a matter of re-attuning yourself is all. Give it some practice, work with Vegeta and you'll master them in no time. I have complete confidence in your ability Viral." Again he would draw the comparison to Ki, it was not unlike teaching Vegeta how to use his own strength as a child. He'd done training too of course, and could speak from experience that all it took was hard work and patience to draw out your power. "Of course we have more reason. There's so much left to do for both of us, and we can help with this war of yours too. And just think... If Ikura and I can work together again, with our combined knowledge we could do untold good for people. The process we used to make you could potentially lead to cures of so many illnesses, the possibilities are endless. So... Yes, long answer short there are other reasons," Aito chuckled, looking at Viral amused. "Least of all we want to see you again though, both of you. And we'd love to meet your friends for ourselves."

June had the utmost confidence in Viral's ability, he was the pride and joy of Aito after all. "You're not weak now Viral, and you never were. You can improve though, everyone can," she said, smiling kindly. "Just give it your best and let Vegeta help you, and you'll be there in no time!" And when they came home things would be good as new, hopefully. She didn't want to be too optimistic if she and Aito couldn't actually be wished back, but it was hard not to be excited about it. Now, much as she would have loved to continue talking she could see that alien in the background like before, recalling how he was the one who caused this. He seemed a bit tired, it wasn't fair to him to drag things out longer. "Remember boys, we love you both very much. And even if we're not brought back we'll always be here for you two. Good luck with everything, and be safe." Waving cheerfully to Vegeta and Viral she stepped back, looking up at Aito happily then the boys again. "We love you both very much, we hope to hear from you two soon."

After the final surprise of the evening the party had winded down rather quickly. Guests left after exchanging a few words with Viral, most wishing him well and good luck in the future, not that they know what the future entailed. Once everyone had left a sense of normalcy and calm had swept over Capsule Corp again as business went about as usual with no sign of a party other than the cleanup following. While Yumi remained behind everyone else went back home, with Takeshi taking both Shu and T'charrl to his house. It was already fairly late in the evening, so training was out of the question at this point. Since they had just eaten quite a bit no one was even hungry, and so the evening was spent rather absentmindedly skimming through the television Takeshi rarely ever used for something to watch. By the time the moon was well high in the sky everyone was asleep, with T'charrl taking the living room and Shu and his brother sharing the latter's bedroom. They had plans for tomorrow, best to get plenty of rest and be ready for some training.

Takeshi had suggested they split up for the morning, focus on different areas of training. Since T'charrl could fly with his wings the Saiyan figured he should focus on Ki blasts, whereas Shu had to learn to fly. Giving T'charrl the large swathe of land his home was on to practice Takeshi took his brother out further, to the familiar rocky hills a few kilometers away. It was a bit nostalgic being here again, albeit not in the best of ways. Last time they had been in this place was for the very same reason, yet hopefully this time it went a little smoother than the last. If goodness for bid the little Saiyan should crash again then at least they could get to T'charrl and have him healed up. Trying to find an open a space as possible the pair eventually settled down in a lightly grassed area, pale green clumps of plant life splotched all over the landscape. A few little trees and bushes were here and there, but overall it was barren. Just as well, this way Shu didn't have anything to fly into so long as he avoided hitting the ground this time around.

"Remember Shu, nice and slow, this isn't a race," Takeshi chided, smiling at Shu amused. "If anything happens I'll try to help you, but no promises. If you're going to learn to fly the right way then I can't be holding your hand all the time." Flying was definitely not his brother's strong suit, but even so he couldn't be completely led through it. Shu would come out all the better if he got it himself, Takeshi was only there to direct him in the proper direction should he need it. "It's like I said before, just ease Ki out of your feet to rise, then release it to stay balanced. Once you're balanced try moving around a bit."
"You've fallen out of practice, it can happen to anyone," June tried, hoping to reassure Viral at least a little. "You can do it, everyone knows you can. It's just time you start believing you can do it too." With Vegeta teaching him and Aito and her potentially coming back to help surely he'd get it in no time. Plus, Ikura was there, and even after all these years he was still trying to help. At least they had made one wise partner in who they had worked with. "When you learn to use them at will you won't have to be near death. You're made to do it by the sounds of things, so it's not impossible, it'll take some work, that's all." June was well aware it was a big order they were giving, traveling to another world and expecting to use their Dragonballs. There was no guarantee that they would even be available upon arrival, but they had to try. With everything going on as of late she was darn determined to be there to help her boys fight, and she had a feeling Aito was in the same boat as her. "I wish for you to be happy Viral, and maybe it's a bit conceited of me to think this, but our being there could help you."

Aito wasn't quite sure still how he felt about all of this. June looked to rather want it though, and he caught Vegeta smiling at the notion of their return as well. If they were going to come back then so be it, but only if it meant to help Viral. Then again... "Vegeta, I'm sure you're tired of running the company by now. I can always take it back when I return, if you'd like," he offered, smiling. "After all I still have a good understanding of how things work. I might have to be brought up to speed, but it's nothing I couldn't handle."

"Dad... I don't know. I mean it would be nice, but honestly I wouldn't know what to do with myself." As of now they were plenty preoccupied with this war going on, but once that was finished what was he to do? If Vegeta relinquished control of Capsule Corp to his father again then he was going to be with a lot of free time and not a ton of outlets. Though he supposed that would be an excuse to return to Kaesstra, help establish their space program finally. And he could always pay visits to other worlds and see how they were, maybe they had new technologies for him to discover. "I'll think on it, I don't know right now."

"Right, take as long as you need to decide. Just realize I'll be in the same boat as you if we come back. I'm not the kind to take being idle lightly, I wouldn't be able to handle it honestly." He was never really stopping when he was alive, Aito sure as hell wouldn't be when they returned. If not Capsule Corp then he would have to find another outlet for his time, and goodness knows what an alternative might be. "Viral, all i can ask of you really is to better yourself. Whatever that means to you, do it. At the same time... You really should try to master your forms. You've never really been put through a lot of training in that regard, I'm sorry we never got around to doing it. So much happened in those few years it just kept being pushed back... But I know you can master them, they're built as a means for you to adapt to situations, not as a last resort. Train with Vegeta and trust in yourself to be able to do this and I know you'll succeed."
Aito wasn't sure where June was coming from with her idea, but it was a perfectly valid one. Mastering his combat forms would give Viral much more strength, and in turn confidence. The Beastman had been in the process of learning to control them before they were killed so unfortunately they would have to start over again. The fact he'd used two of them already was promising, it meant he was at least aware of them and hopefully the sensations they brought. "You can master them though, Viral. If my theory is correct you should be able to feel your own power almost as we do Ki. Each of your powers, the feline, the shark and the dragon all have their own specific energy signatures. If you can learn to focus on them you can draw them out at will, and doing so you'll retain your mindfulness. It's more or less identical to Ki in that regard actually. Saiyans and the like have to dig for their Ki and bring it forth, and your power works the same way. It'll just be a matter of coming to recognize them." Which Vegeta could hopefully do. Maybe a little instruction for his son would be a good idea, if nothing else. If Ikura was there then the man should definitely be able to enlighten their son, he only need ask. Then the training could begin in earnest.

"What about Namekian Dragonballs...?" Vegeta suggested hopefully. He rather liked the idea of his parents coming back, even if it might be odd after so long. "We're going back to space anyways, we can make a stop, I'm sure Korian won't mind. Well, either that or he's got no say in the matter. We could feasibly do it Viral, it wouldn't be that long of a journey in our new ship, a week maybe at most." Speaking of, that reminded him that they needed to restock the vessel before they shipped out again. Probably not a bad idea to get extra supplies too, it couldn't hurt to have excess. "From what I understand the Namekian dragon doesn't have the same rules as ours, so we should be able to make whatever wish we want to."

"Porunga could certainly do that, easily." Aito hadn't considered that, nor had he thought to ask their sons to travel all that way. He was nervous about returning, it would be odd considering he and June were now just barely their seniors. How nice it would be though to return home, and experience things again. Smiling thoughtfully he rubbed at his chin, looking lost in thought for a moment. "If you two were to do that... Hm... Yes. If I can return then Ikura and I can properly see to Viral. He's more of the theoretical and psychological side, I'm far more attuned to the actual physical nature of you, Viral. Between us you'd be as good as new in a day, two tops. This is of course assuming you can see this done." It was a journey to Namek after all, and they did have other matters to attend to. Aito couldn't say he totally hated the idea of returning home after so long however, King Kai's world and Otherworld in general still didn't feel quite homey to him.

June was rather enamored with this idea now, the notion of being home with her family thrilled her. "And while you're traveling there you two can work on mastering Viral's forms!" she added, smiling at Vegeta and Viral. "If you don't learn them by the time we come back then we can help, like Aito said. Oh, and we could do things as a family again!" Getting all starry eyed she looked at the boys quite happily, nearly bouncing about in her spot. Turns out their mother was quite excitable, albeit nowhere near as much as Shu was. Clasping her hands together she cleared her throat, blushing slightly realizing how goofy she was being. "That would be really nice, seeing you two again in person. I'd like that."
