Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Yumi had scarcely used any energy in training today so she figured she could lend some of hers. She had never done it before and had no idea what it would be like, but if it was what T'charrl needed she'd do her best to provide. Extending a hand out to him she watched as he laid a claw on it, nothing noticeable happening at first. When she could actually feel her Ki being sapped she nearly pulled away, a bit deterred by the unusual feeling. It passed fairly quick and was over within seconds, leaving her no worse for wear. Smiling a bit warily Yumi glanced down at her hand, making sure nothing weird had happened to her before looking back at T'charrl. "Don't mention it, happy to help," she answered, her smile warming. "What doesn't feel well? Do you need food? Or medicine?" They were all willing to help but nothing could be done if they didn't know what was wrong. Granted with how 'well' T'charrl was speaking it was a challenge and a half just for him to tell them.

Takeshi watched curiously as Yumi and T'charrl carried out that transfer of power. It was a bit weird taking other people's energy like that, handy, but weird. If nothing else it woke up their friend a little but he still seemed to be pretty out of it. Eh... Why was there that weird tone to the Kaesstrian's voice? It sounded kind of like a bug speaking, funny thing to notice considering that's basically what he was. It could be just him but the way T'charrl spoke was a bit off. Looking down at Shu he smiled slightly, nodding in agreement. They should get him some food, but then again hadn't that kid brought the Kaesstrian some earlier? Eh, he couldn't remember right now. "We can get him clean now and then bring him back to his room," Takeshi said, speaking to everyone in the room. Since he and Shu were arguably the closest to him it only seemed fair that they take care of him. Being called out by his brother for his fear the older boy's cheeks reddened slightly, and with a tight smile he placed a hand on Shu's head, rubbing it a bit annoyed. "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid," he mumbled, trying to convey the 'shut up' look to his brother.

Vegeta was skeptical about where loyalties lied for the King's armies, even with Viral's rebuttal. Most of his forces weren't even Saiyans but men and women likely conscripted from other planets. Sure, as time progressed some may have actually become loyal, but he doubted the vast majority were. "I still doubt most of them are as loyal as you think..." he retorted, shaking his head. "Most of the soldiers are too weak to fight against their commanders, let alone the King. They probably use threats and force or instill fear to ensure cooperation. I just can't see so many people whose homes have been taken over willingly pledging allegiance to someone like that." The Saiyans he didn't doubt for a second would be loyal, he expected that of them. Those were the ones that Vegeta was not thrilled to be fighting, especially the likes of Elites and whoever the King kept by his side personally. There were probably all sorts of different sides to this conflict, the world wasn't as black and white as he might like sometimes. All he knew was who their enemy was and that they had to be stopped. "You think I'm going to give someone who is struggling with depression and stress alcohol...?" Not a very good chance of that unfortunately for Viral. Sighing softly Vegeta rubbed at his head, "I packed a fair bit, for occasions, not for casual drinking. Besides, if you begin drinking now then what, I'll be training with an intoxicated Beastman? Later, okay?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Yumi didn't feel she had really done anything special, she just happened to be there at the time T'charrl changed back. A few nice words, that was all, words hardly fixed something like this. It was sort of an empty success in that T'charrl still wasn't back to his old self, even going as far to change yet again into an entirely new form. Sooner or later they might even forget what he originally looked like if this kept up. Shame none of them really understood what was going on, otherwise they might be able to help. "Unless he brought food with him someone else took it down," she added, corroborating Choi's story. Behind her she completely missed Vegeta looking away bashfully, and good thing too because otherwise she would probably smack him. T'charrl had finally come to enough to speak, albeit it was a struggled, slurred speech. She had to really focus just to make out what he was saying as the alien was barely coherent right now. "You're hungry...? Energy...? Do you mean you need energy?" It could be like before when he had opened up that portal, he needed someone's energy before and after that. Not entirely certain Yumi figured it was worth a shot, reaching out and offering her hand to T'charrl. "Take whatever you need, I've got plenty to spare," she said, smiling kindly.

Just how many different forms did T'charrl have anyways? If this kept up Takeshi wasn't sure if they would ever get their friend back to normal. That spirit that was living in him, it had mentioned something about becoming stronger. From what T'charrl was saying he was stronger now, though it still didn't appear to be enough yet. Damn, if they could they should just give him all the energy he needed, that would save them a lot of trouble. Despite being a bit more like an insect now he didn't have a lot of issue being so close, maybe because it was just different enough not to set off his fear. The only thing Takeshi felt right now was worried and bummed that he didn't think they could do anything to help. Rising to the challenge once more was Yumi, taking charge and trying to help T'charrl any way she could. He had to admit, she was really impressive when it came to taking care of them. It was amazing how well she could get people to relax when they were on the verge of going nuts, he didn't know how she did it. "Don't worry Shu... Yumi's got this," Takeshi replied, nodding his head confidently. She could help, they just had to trust that.

Just a quick meal to sustain themselves, then they could get on with training. Vegeta had no intention of making a full course dining experience so he didn't quite understand why Viral was so opposed. A steak or two and some kind of quick side dish, that was all. Everyone fought better when they had energy from food, just sunlight wouldn't keep Viral going forever, he wasn't a plant. "Realistically though how many of the King's subjects are loyal to him? You have to figure that bastard hasn't been leading from popular support, there's a reason his military is so large. I feel like if we were to attack him directly a lot of his 'supporters' would just stand by and not try to intervene. Then again I may be completely wrong and we could face forces several times our own size when we arrive, it's hard to say." Vegeta wasn't a gambling man but he knew those weren't very good odds. Either it would be an easy battle or they would be made to battle overwhelming troop sizes. Personally he'd prefer the former, but rarely were things so simple. Giving Viral a mock expression of hurt the Saiyan smiled, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm not a chef, I'll admit that. But I can cook a meal that won't come back up at the very least, so there's that. And what do you mean thanks to me...?" Vegeta gave Viral a scrutinizing look before shaking his head again, waving a hand dismissively. "Never mind. Just let me have a quick bite to eat and we'll get you set for training, fair?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

T'charrl was just unconscious, probably on an account of exhaustion. Changing so much couldn't be easy on anyone and the Kaesstrian was practically making a habit out of it. The notion he might be dead as suggested by Choi was just absurd, she made it known with a dirty look before focusing again on their friend. Well slapping his cheek hadn't woken him up any, and she would much rather avoid putting him in the shower if at all possible because of his size. There was only one other alternative then, and if this didn't work she was out of ideas. Standing at the alien's side Yumi inhaled, holding the breath for a second before shouting T'charrl's name as loudly as she could manage, evidently frightening everyone in the room as a result. It had worked, but things quickly took a turn south when a set of claws wrapped themselves around her throat. Gasping in surprise Yumi's hands reflexively went up to the claws, ready to tear herself free if needed. Something was off though, for one there was no real pressure in T'charrl's grip, and he still looked to be out of it. Was he still unconscious?

Takeshi hadn't a damn clue what was going on, and now his ears were ringing thanks to Yumi's impromptu howl. He could complain about that later as right now she was being grabbed by T'charrl and it looked like she might be in some serious danger. Oddly enough she didn't appear to be panicking aside from the initial surprise, she actually seemed pretty relaxed. It was a pretty unsettling thing to watch happen but if Yumi showed no signs of worry then they could relax. Not that it helped Shu any, the little guy was ready to go into a panic. Putting a hand on Shu's shoulder to keep him back Takeshi smiled reassuringly, shaking his head. "T'charrl's not going to hurt her, relax buddy." He didn't have the strength to by the looks of it, which was sad. How had he ended up so worn out like this anyways? From now on no one was training on their own, it wouldn't get them anywhere if people started dropping like flies. Or moths, as the case may be.

Relaxing after the sudden fright of being grabbed Yumi managed to free herself with minimal effort. Poor T'charrl, he probably didn't even know where he was right now. Easing his claw to rest on his stomach she smiled sympathetically, resting her hands on her hips. "I don't know if he's even totally awake... Doesn't look like he is." Half-lidded eyes and groggy movements, did he actually just wake up from a nap? Weird... Who fell asleep during training? Looking back at Shu she nodded her head, not wanting him to worry before turning again to the Kaesstrian. "T'charrl, sorry for scaring you like that. Can you hear me now? Can you tell us why you were like that in the training room?"

"Being emotionless wouldn't be as fun as you'd imagine, I'd think. If you feel you're missing out now imagine if you couldn't enjoy anything at all. Fighting would even be empty for you without emotions." It was probably a rhetorical statement but Vegeta still felt the need to rebuke it, he didn't want Viral getting the wrong ideas. When things were good Viral could actually be happy, or happy as far as the Beastman went. Genuine happiness might be a ways off but that didn't mean they couldn't try for it some more. First things first though... They needed food. "If you'll humor me and get some food in your stomach then by all means, go train. I'll join you but we can work independently of one another. Gods only know how much training we still need to do for this fight." The details of what the King and his Elites were truly capable of were a bit hazy but nonetheless daunting. From what Vegeta knew the King himself was a Super Saiyan, the only one currently in existence, and his closest fighters weren't far behind. In order to learn more they would be rendezvousing with Korian and Sayomi in just a few days time at this point. Once they had a more clear picture of what was coming they could prepare better. "What are you in the mood for? I'm cooking."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

T'charrl needed a shower badly if he was dusting this much, at least Yumi figured as much. Was it normal for their friend to be doing this or did it mean he was dirty? She couldn't remember, he might have well been this way the whole time and she just hadn't noticed before. If they were going to lug him around he couldn't be doing this, it was making her nose itch like mad and it just felt odd having all of this on her. Setting T'charrl on the floor she gently patted at his cheek, hoping to get him to come to by doing so. "Yes Choi... He died on the way up here," she replied, looking over at her boyfriend with an annoyed glance before sighing. "I swear... You ask the dopiest questions some times." If T'charrl was in fact dead then why would they have brought him to the showers? She liked the boy but sometimes Choi should really think before he spoke. Just to humor him they should check for a pulse, or rather he should. Snatching up one of his hands he placed it on the pulse on T'charrl's neck, holding it for a moment before letting him go. "See? He's alive, he probably just passed out from exhaustion. Now then..." Moving to the Kaesstrian's side she leaned in close, clearing her throat before inhaling sharply and yelling, "WAKE UP T'CHARRL!"

Kai's theory was anything but sound, yet Takeshi appreciated what he was trying to do. Give even the slightest bit of reason to worry and Shu would be all in a panic for some time. Not that the older boy wasn't himself worried, he could hide it if it meant keeping his brother calm. As though he was reading his thoughts Kai voiced exactly what Takeshi had been thinking, making him frown disdainfully. "That brat better not have done anything or I swear I'll throw him out one of the windows." So far since taking in that Saiyan he'd been nothing but a headache for all of them. At times he looked like he wanted to belong and then he went and pulled stunts that made him a punk. Not the best way to go about befriending people, and if he was guilty here then that was just another strike on his record. Nothing seemed amiss at the showers thus far, albeit they hadn't even seen what was inside yet. Letting Kai do the liberty of opening the door they had barely gone inside when Yumi abruptly screamed, rather loudly at that. Gasping softly Takeshi's hands shot up to cover his ears, his eyes wide in surprise as he did so. "The hell was that for!?"

For someone who wasn't stressed Viral was awfully close to breaking before Vegeta. This was not at all fun to see, Vegeta took no pleasure in having to do this to his friend in the least, but it was necessary. Rushing things would only end badly, and simply put Viral couldn't handle any accelerated training in his current state. "I never said you can't do anything for yourself, I'm just saying we have to move at a steady pace with this, or you do. That's all I've been trying to say, be patient and don't rush through your training and recovery." The sooner Viral accepted that the sooner they could make some earnest headway. Now it fell to the Saiyan to see that his friend improve, no pressure there. Smiling exasperatedly Vegeta gave a small nod of his head, looking down the hallway thoughtfully for a moment. "I have no intention of falling behind, believe me. Selfishly it's a matter of pride that you do well, so I will give this my all. More than that however I just want to see you be the best you can be, and I am willing to invest whatever time and resources needed to help you get there. And... I suppose if you feel some solitary training will help then I can give you that as well. If I let you decide now, for example, what would you want to be doing at this moment? Take the reigns."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Never mind if T'charrl could get drunk or not, Yumi was more concerned on seeing to him right now. Arriving at the showers after some awkward conversation they now had to somehow get the large Kaesstrian into one of these tiny stalls. Sure, no problem, he was just as big as one if not bigger. Getting him inside the room was bad enough let alone into the showers, and there was the small issue of T'charrl being asleep and all. Stopping outside of the stall as they struggled to get him in she frowned, looking up at her friend. "Maybe we should wake him up first? I can't imagine getting him in otherwise is going to be easy." Easing the alien down into a sitting position against the outside of the stall she smiled hopefully, giving his cheek a patting to try and rouse him. "Hey, T'charrl? Can you hear me? Wake up, you're okay now." If he didn't come to then the water should do the trick, though he might sort of freak out if he was suddenly doused with freezing water. Best to use that as a last resort.

"They're taking him to the showers...? Uh... That's not such a good idea," Takeshi replied, frowning as he shook his head. "T'charrl really doesn't like water, at all. He almost panicked when we had to fly over the ocean on Earth. Sticking him in a shower...? I don't know if that will end well." Seemed like an odd place to be for someone who was afraid of water. If their friend was in a bad way too then why take him there of all places? He wished he had an answer for Kai other than 'I don't know' but he really had nothing else to say. They weren't too far off from the showers which was good, they would know what was happening soon enough here. "I don't get how something bad could have happened if he was by himself. Did he hurt himself or something? Man... This sucks not knowing what's going on." If T'charrl was hurt in any way then Shu would be bummed out, and if Shu was upset then he would get upset. Did that other kid have anything to do with this? He'd better not, otherwise he was going to get his butt handed to him.

There was no joy in telling Viral he had to slow down, Vegeta had a pretty good idea how flustered he must be feeling. No one else was showing it but everyone here must be stressed, it was a big battle they were preparing for and they still had a lot of work ahead of them. It was a painstaking process for everyone, but for no one more so than Viral. Not only did he have to rise to a new level of strength but he had to recover just to get his previous power too. "The actual battle isn't for some time still, so we have the luxury of patience right now. Don't feel like you have to become so powerful in a single day, we've got more than enough time to get to that point. And as for suggestions for your training..." There was more than one area which Viral had to strengthen himself, both mentally and physically. The mental aspect would take more time and was arguably more important, as he would have to be able to control his power first and foremost. "Let's make a deal right here and now and see how it goes. If you agree to spend mornings with me working on your stress and trying to master your forms then I'll spend afternoons and evenings training with you otherwise, working on actually improving your physical power. If we do that for a few days then you will definitely begin to see some progress, I'm certain of it."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Yumi wasn't so sure Takeshi and Shu would upright abandon T'charrl if he might have been in some trouble. Sure, the former could be a bit thick-skulled and the latter a bit oblivious but she wouldn't deny they had good hearts. If they knew or even remotely suspected their friend might be in a bad way they wouldn't have left him alone. "Except... He's not drunk, is he? I get your point though, he shouldn't have been left alone if this was going to happen." What mattered now was that she and Choi had found him and they were in the process of helping. No one had been hurt, so that was good, and it didn't appear as though T'charrl had injured himself in any way either. So long as they kept the Kaesstrian calm he wouldn't endanger himself or anyone. "If you need a shower then you can shower. We might as well hop in too while we're there," she began, pausing before flushing slightly. "Not like that! I mean we'll both go into our own showers and clean up!" Thank goodness they had arrived at the showers,

Takeshi had never even given considered Kai and Choi using telepathy. It made sense now that he thought it over, they always seemed to know what the other one was doing in a fight. Having the ability to do that with Shu could be pretty neat if not bothersome at the same time. Now wasn't the time to learn how to use that ability though, they had to go see how T'charrl was getting along. Come to think of it did they even know where their friend was being taken? "Did Choi mention where they're bringing him by the way? We're kind of walking nowhere right now." If T'charrl was just tired then probably his room, or maybe the mess hall to get some food in him. Then again hadn't that kid brought T'charrl food earlier? Ah he couldn't even remember right now. "Come on, Yumi and Choi know how to fight. If T'charrl goes all feral, which he won't, I'm sure they'd be fine." Even so, couldn't hurt for them to be there. The two times Takeshi had witnessed T'charrl change it had been daunting, his power was huge and he was intimidating to look at. Sure, their friends could fight, but could they fight that?

"Viral... Neglecting yourself and only focusing on training is what is holding you back. You're not listening, you have to eat and rest as well as train, not doing those is only going to make you tire quicker and be more susceptible for setbacks." Vegeta didn't know how many times he had to say it for the Beastman to understand, it was beginning to become tiresome. Viral was obviously stressing over this matter, as he did with near everything as of late. This might be one such instance where his medicine would come in handy, if only Vegeta was willing to let his friend take the pills. "You have someone to fight and plenty to do, but you're rushing things. We have all the resources we need to make this work, we just need time is all." Stepping closer to Viral he placed a hand on his shoulder, smiling kindly. "Viral, I know you don't see it, but you've been improving far quicker than I or Ikura thought you would have. Yes, you're not back to full strength, but look at how far you've come in just a week. If we take a bit longer then you'll get over these obstacles, just have patience."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

The longer they continued to walk the more Yumi began to feel how heavy T'charrl was. Or maybe it was just him becoming more dead weight, hard to say. He was certainly out of it right now, hopefully dousing him in some cold water would do the trick and wake him right up. Come to think of it was washing T'charrl going to be a good idea? Bugs hated water didn't they? Granted a Kaesstrian wasn't exactly a bug as they knew it, but close enough that he might just dislike it. "I don't think Shy would have left if T'charrl was like this before though, even if Takeshi told him to. Maybe he wanted to be on his own?" Wasn't completely unreasonable, if T'charrl knew the change was coming then he might have gone off on his own to avoid hurting anyone. It wouldn't be the first time he had changed either, he'd done so back on Earth just before they had left. Since he had near hurt his own mother from what she heard it wasn't that much of a stretch he would have gone and hid. "Let's just focus on getting him somewhere he can relax, and finding Kai. Once I know everyone is okay then maybe I'll smack somebody."

This was the first Takeshi had heard of T'charrl being hurt, though he wasn't all too worried. If Yumi and Choi were with him he was safe, and considering Kai didn't seem worried it couldn't be all bad. Shu was worried as ever, granted he'd worry if someone got so much as a splinter. Regardless they were going to go and see how their friend was doing even if he wasn't in any real bad way. "So you and him are what... Psychic or something...?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "That's really cool, any chance you can show Shu and I how to do that? Then again... Having Shu in my head all the time..." That might get old pretty fast. He loved his little brother to death, but he asked enough questions and spoke enough just when they were together. Having Shu able to speak to him and ask questions whenever he wanted could prove to be... Interesting. There was the whole being caught off guard as Kai had been too, Takeshi could do without being randomly shouted at. More to the matter at hand, he probably ought to figure out what exactly was wrong with T'charrl. Unfortunately when questioning his friend for details it didn't appear that he had thought to ask. "Can't be too bad, if it was they wouldn't bother talking to us, they would just rush him to the medical bay, you know? Probably just tired from training."

"The medicine is there for if you get worse, you're right. But the way you said it before you made it sound like it's your only option. It's a supplement, not a crutch. I just want you to be able to handle stress without the need for the medicine, and only use it if it's an absolute must." The fact no one wanted Viral on medicine in the first place was indicative enough of their reluctance to use it. "How about existing to get better, and to improve? You can't be disheartened every single time you fall, you have to be able to pick yourself up and move forward again. I know it must seem daunting right now, but you can get better. And you might be weaker than us right now, but there's nothing keeping you from becoming our equals, if not greater than us." Albeit why Viral wanted to be the strongest was a bit of a mystery. It was a matter of pride if nothing else as far as Vegeta knew. Pride before the fall, as the saying went, no good would come of the Beastman's obsession for strength. He might obtain it but then what? This line of thought was a bit too depressing for Vegeta's liking, but unfortunately they weren't done just yet. "If you lose sight of what it is you're supposed to do then you search. Ikura had no idea what you should do, but he isn't the only person who can give you direction. There's me, there's Yumi, and soon enough there'll be my father too."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"The showers aren't all that far, we can get him there pretty soon if we hurry." Again Yumi had to turn her head, sneezing once more as some of the dust tickled her nose. No way was this going to be pleasant if she was doing that every three seconds. Sniffling she rubbed at her nose, looking at Choi as he had another of his trademark off comments. Waking up bare surrounded by people, that was preferable? "If I weren't busy right now I'd smack you for that comment," she warned, rolling her eyes and smiling despite herself. That would probably be the absolute worst way to come to, that and finding herself locked in a room with Kabocha she supposed. While carrying T'charrl by themselves was easy just the two of them weren't exactly suited to care for someone, they would need help. If Choi could get Kai to come meet them then the three of them ought to suffice, and to that end she asked her boyfriend to get a hold of his brother. After a silent moment or two he gave her a sheepish smile, things had been a bit funny apparently. "Catch him at a bad time?" Yumi asked, smirking as she shook her head. "That's one thing I worry about using telepathy, you have no idea what the other person might be up to. Could lead to some very awkward situations... Like talking to someone in the shower," she added, teasing Choi.

Kai was right, nothing about this training was remotely logical. It was sure funny as hell to watch though! It was such a simple task and yet Shu was giving it his all, chasing down that weighted ball like it meant more than his life. For someone who wanted nothing to do with this Kai sure was doing his best to keep away, giving the little guy a run for his money. For a short while they were darting all over the place, and then for whatever reason Kai saw fit to collide with a machine and fall all over himself. In no time at all Shu was on top of him, claiming his hard won prize and bringing it over to the older boy. Flashing his brother a smile Takeshi took the weight, bouncing it in one hand as he glanced over at Kai. "What do you mean Choi 'called' you?" he asked, kind of missing the point at first. Frowning at the mention of T'charrl he rolled the ball to the side, looking at Shu then Kai before nodding. "We'll come along, it wouldn't be right to stay here while he might be hurt. Did Choi say what was wrong?"

"I have in fact heard of fasting. I've also heard of death by starvation, something you near experienced. You have no reason to fast other than your objection to eating, which in of itself is absurd. You're stronger when you've eaten and have energy, you can't argue that. And those pills... You don't need them. As I recall both of us were opposed to the pills, unless that's changed now?" Vegeta didn't want Viral on any type of medicine if it could be helped. Thus far his friend had been lucky and the side effects had been minimal, but it was best they don't push their luck and try to administer even more. Sighing softly he rubbed at his head, looking over at Viral sympathetically. "You do have a choice. As I've said countless times this won't be easy, you'll have to really apply yourself to get better. That includes eating regularly, our therapy sessions and training. If you truly want to get back to one hundred percent we have to do this step by step, no shortcuts." Everything was stacked against him in Viral's mind, he had no way to catch up to them all much less reclaim his spot at the top. Perhaps it was best he settle for just being powerful and not the prime fighter that he wanted to be. "You can be useful by continuing to recover. Inhibiting yourself by unnecessarily fasting or refusing therapy is only going to hurt yourself in the long run."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Swinging in trees probably was going to be fun, Takeshi couldn't really see why it wouldn't be. That was neither here nor there though, but he still wanted to enjoy himself. With Shu so dead set on training at the moment he might as well give his brother what he wanted, having a bit of fun along the way. For a moment he deliberated on exactly what to do, and then upon spotting a weighted ball had a sudden epiphany. Snatching up the weight from a stack he came back over to Shu and Kai, smiling before tossing it to the latter. "Your training for today? Get that ball from Kai!" That was all it took and pretty soon Shu was off, chasing down Kai like a cat after a mouse. Grinning broadly seeing the two go at it he stepped to the side to keep out of their way, not wanting to get mixed up at all in this. "It's training because I say it is!" Takeshi shouted back, laughing as he watched Kai dash about. This was really fun to watch, and sooner or later Shu was going to get his prize. For what it was worth Kai was doing a good job thus far of evading the little Saiyan, the weight wasn't slowing him down at all either. His laughter continued as the pair ran about, trying to stifle it by covering his mouth with a hand. "You almost have it Shu! Keep going!"

There Viral went again with the self-loathing, that wasn't helping anyone at all. He had to get it out of his mind that everything happening was not his fault, only then could he really start to improve. "Viral, it is not your fault, for one, and you haven't held anyone back. People have been training while you've been recovering, and they'll continue to train regardless." It seemed a bit harsh to say but it was the truth of the situation. No one had really halted their own progress because Viral was lagging behind, and in doing so he was now having to work exceptionally hard to catch up. Shaking his head the Saiyan motioned for Viral to follow, beginning to move towards the mess hall. "Listen, you can't neglect eating. I know you need and want to train, but if you starve yourself your health is only going to decline. You have to get it back in your head that you need food, you won't last long without eating anything." Or he would change as he had last time, certainly not a better alternative. Glancing over his shoulder Vegeta smiled slightly, "If it helps, think of eating as training. You have trouble having a meal, so we'll train you to take in a lot of food again. A good diet means a world of difference, you should know that. If you train incessantly without nourishment not only will you not get stronger but you'll cause damage to yourself."

They couldn't leave T'charrl here, not again. Yumi had no clue how long he had been down here for and goodness knows he must be tired, it was probably best they bring him somewhere to relax. Moving someone that big would be difficult for her alone, at least if they were to do it comfortably. Enlisting Choi to help her should ease that a little and when he readily agreed the pair moved over to grab the Kaesstrian. Each taking one arm and draping it over their shoulders they hefted T'charrl's large size off of the ground, slowly moving him along towards the door. Getting a face full of dusty, thick fur wasn't the most pleasant thing in the world, Yumi felt her nose twitching irritably at the sensations. Opening her mouth to reply she had to turn her head quickly, sneezing before sniffling and rubbing at her nose. "Ech... Uh, let's take him to the showers. We'll wake him up there so he can get cleaned up." He smelled of food after all and really needed a cleaning, it certainly couldn't hurt anyways. Sliding open the door she nodded her head, directing Choi to follow as they dragged T'charrl along with them. "Can you talk to Kai wherever you two are? Let him know what happened, we might need a hand with this."

"What else is there to do for fun growing up...? Well... Uh..." Hm, how could he answer that question? Takeshi's 'growing up' had been anything but ideal now that he looked back at it, and his 'fun' was anything but innocent. Fun for him used to include fighting people for the sake of it, training and occasionally stealing, that was fun. What he found enjoyable now was vastly different, things had changed, but what he did for fun growing up was another beast entirely. "I guess swinging through trees could be fun. Yeah, we'll give it a shot when we get home, but we need to focus on getting stronger for now, right? Because we're going to help win this thing before we go home!" Shu looked to be all fired up over it now, he was really ready to get training. Takeshi did feel kind of bad though, right now they were excluding Kai from it all after offering for him to join them. Hm... How could he involve Kai in all of this then? Thinking as he glanced about the room the older boy smiled, spotting something that would help out their situation. From a spot near the weights he grabbed a heavy ball, coming back to his brother and friend with it in hand. "Alright Shu, I've got some training in mind. Your lesson for now is..." he paused, tossing the ball into Kai's hands. "To get that ball away from Kai. Good luck!"

Honestly, Viral was acting like a child. Now he wasn't going to eat because Vegeta had a laugh? The Beastman should be well aware by now what not eating did to him, he couldn't just skip meals on a whim. Knowing how dead set his friend would be however the Saiyan didn't argue it, instead leaving the room to give him privacy to change. Now he wanted to train more of all things, as if they hadn't done enough of that already. Listen to him though, complaining about having to train. They would never be ready to fight if they weren't given it their all now, everyone knew that. Maybe it was just reluctance to fight with Viral, who knows. Not too long afterwards did Viral emerge, fully clothed and not at all pleased with things by the looks of it. "I suppose there's no use in lying about it, is there? Yes I went easy on you. Not by much, but I wasn't fighting at full capacity at all." Pushing off of the wall Vegeta let out a small sigh, placing a hand on his hip and looking at Viral plainly. "Listen, I won't jerk you around, I don't know if you're recovered enough to fight any of us at full strength yet. You're getting closer with every passing day, but you've got to understand this is going to take time. If you rush into anything, even training, you'll only end up slighting yourself. That being said..." he added, smiling slightly as he pointed at himself with his thumb, "If you want to fight then I'll give you what you want. I've been training a bit myself so it won't be easy."

This was all pretty tense, Yumi hadn't a clue really what to do to help T'charrl. Both Viral and Shu had been helped by her simply speaking to them however, she had a knack thus far for calming beasts. Maybe T'charrl would too, if she gave it enough effort. Doing her utmost not to show fear before her friend she watched as he struggled a fair bit to keep himself collected. By a stroke of luck her aid actually helped and she watched in silence as the Kaesstrian began to change back once more. Not to his original form unfortunately, but still a smaller, less imposing form. Breathing a sigh of relief Yumi lowered her hands, taking a step back and looking down at T'charrl sympathetically. How he had changed and been left alone she didn't know, it wasn't a good idea though. In fact why wasn't he with Shu and Takeshi like he always was? Those two were going to get a talking to for leaving him alone like this. Giving Choi a look she reached over and flicked his head in a sign of annoyance, turning back to T'charrl and squatting down before him. "I don't know, I'm not an expert on his species," she said, frowning as she reached out to feel T'charrl's head for any sign of a fever or some such. "We should get him somewhere he can rest though. Mind giving me a hand carrying him?"
