Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Whatever reason Shu was that hairy for Takeshi was just glad he didn't have it too. Sure he had body hair, but not in mats like his brother did. He couldn't imagine having all of that, it must be so itchy. Not to mention having to clean all of that hair constantly, it would take him so long to make sure it was all clean. The Saiyan felt like Shu's last words were a jab at him, making fun of his phobia of insects again. He'd have said something in rebuttal if the young boy didn't promptly sneeze afterward, managing to give Takeshi a bit of a germy shower. Groaning quite loudly the older boy went about wiping himself down in a bit of a panic, repeatedly muttering "Ew" in the process. Once he was finished he shot Shu a dirty look, sticking out his tongue before letting his cloak drop back down. "Cover your nose if you're gonna sneeze next time Shu," he chided, lifting his arm and pressing his nose to the inside of his elbow, "Like this, got it? Don't be sneezing on people, it's bad."

"Sneezing, dangerous? Nah, it's not dangerous. Well unless you're really sick or something, then I guess other people can get sick too," he mumbled, rubbing at his head thoughtfully. "Probably could get a lot of people sick by sneezing on them, that would be gross. Even if they don't get sick from it... Gross." Hm, they didn't really have time to be chattering about sneezing, they had work to do darn it. By some good graces it looked like they found the shaman's place too, either that or someone had a really big house. There was only one way to find out and that was to go inside. In his ever tactful nature Takeshi walked right up to the doors, grinning before throwing them open, expecting to find the man they were looking for behind the walls. Instead they were shown a large, open room with several cushions on the floor, a mass of Shaharians knelt down on them, each one looking back at the trio curiously. At the head of the room was an older one of their kind, assuming so anyways since his skin was leathery and wrinkled. Well... Was this the right place?

"How the heck should I know...? I thought this was the place!" Takeshi whispered back, looking back at T'charrl accusingly as if it were somehow his fault. Turning back to the still baffled aliens he smiled nervously, putting his hands up to show he wasn't a threat as he laughed uneasily. "Uh... We're looking for your leader, a shaman... Or something. I don't suppose you know where he is...?" he asked, looking around at everyone as he spoke. There was an awkward silence after his question and he made another check on his scouter, double checking to see if the translator was turned on. It was, so they should have understood him there. So were they in the totally wrong place then? "He's uh... Well he looks like all of you, except he's kinda big. And uh... Sandy... Colored, kinda. And he's got this scar on his lip," he explained desperately, gesturing to his own lips. Again, just silence. A few of the lizardmen exchanged looks but other than that no one said anything. Getting slightly annoyed now Takeshi closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose before giving a strained smile. "He's your leader, you know him. Come on, where is this guy anyways?"

The Shaman was, in fact, in the building. He was out of the room, simply put, taking care of... Business. What the trio had walked in on was a town meeting of sorts, and they had been in recess anyways while their effectual mayor was out. It was customary not to speak in Servas' absence during these meetings, anything that needed to be said could either be said during the discussions or afterwards, otherwise it wasn't important. So the reason no one replied was because of that. As soon as the familiar Shaharian entered the room though a few of the aliens called out to him, gesturing to the trio at the door. Curious, Servas glanced across the room seeing the two smaller figures and the much larger one, not entirely sure what to make of it. When he saw the faces of the smaller two gears clicked in his head, and a big, toothy grin crossed his face. "Friends! Good Saiyans have returned! Not expected you, this is nice surprise!" he called, hurrying across the room, his white robes dragging behind him. "Welcome, welcome! Glad to see again, been a while!"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi figured T'charrl might want to be under one of the trees for now, just to get out of the sun. He'd probably be sitting under one right now if they didn't have places to be, staying out in the sun even with the cloak on was a real pain. "If you want to come in then feel free, I don't mind either way." T'charrl had a fair point, he was unfamiliar with this place and could very well end up getting lost. While he didn't think the Shaharians wouldn't do anything to him they couldn't be certain, their time with these aliens had been pretty brief after all. He couldn't know for sure whether or not they would be nice to the Kaesstrian. So far they had, but then again he and Shu were around, they probably knew better. They'd bring T'charrl with them then if it'd help him relax more, Takeshi would be more than fine with that.

"They're lizards, they're not supposed to be hairy Shu. At least I've never seen a hairy lizard before. Maybe there is one somewhere..." That was kind of a funny image to think about, a hairy lizard. Maybe one with a ridiculous hairdo and a bunch of tufts of fur all over themselves, like what Shu has. It was a little odd on him but it would be a million times more so if a lizard had it. Since the wind wasn't nearly as bad in the town Takeshi followed his brother's lead, pulling down his hood and running a hand through his hair to knock any grains out. "T'charrl's hairy because he's a Kaesstrian, all of them were like that. You're hairy because... I don't know. Most Saiyans weren't as hairy as you, though some were pretty close. I've actually wondered if-" Just as he was finishing that thought Shu sneezed, kicking up a fair bit of sand that just so happened to hit Takeshi in the face. For a second he went silent, blinking curiously before reaching up and wiping at his cheek. Feeling a little dampness he gagged, using his cloak to hastily wipe at his face. "Ew, ew ew ew! SHU!" he shouted, whimpering as he wiped his face on his sleeve then. "Gross!"

Being sneezed on, not exactly what Takeshi wanted for himself today. At least it was Shu and not one of the random aliens, gods only know what might be up their noses. Once he had thoroughly scrubbed down his face with the cloak the Saiyan realized they had reached the town center. Either that or there was another grand fountain in town, which seemed pretty unlikely. An assortment of buildings circled the stone paths surrounding the fountain, and a rather large one sat at the head of the grouping. That had to be the Shaman's place alright, there wasn't any building nearly as large as that one anywhere else. Either that was it or someone had been yanking their chain. "Well, looks like we found the guy!" Takeshi said, grinning as he pointed at the building. "The man we want is inside of there, let's go find him!" Feeling a bit confident now that his and Shu's faces were visible he walked right up to the front doors, throwing them open and stepping inside, looking around the fairly filled room in surprise before smiling bashfully. "Uh... Hi."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

The three of them were probably all going to need a wash after this, the sand was really a pain here. It might not be so bad if the wind weren't blowing it around, Takeshi had grains in places he didn't even want to talk about. It was probably a good thing he left his sword back on the ship as well, he had been warned by Viral that the abrasive winds could damage the blade, and being out here he'd believe it. It was a wonder the screens on the scouters weren't getting scratched to hell, they must have been made of some pretty durable material. One thing was pretty nice about all of this though, the fact they were here now without having to worry about fighting someone. It had been a long time since they went to a planet and hadn't expected some kind of battle, and while he loved to fight Takeshi couldn't say he minded the lull in action. Shaharia was a nice place when you got past the heat, wind, sand and all that, and the town being repaired showed what a pleasant world it really was.

Reaching the town didn't do them a lot of good if they couldn't find the shaman, so to that end Takeshi went about asking for his location. Surprisingly enough the first person they asked had an answer, hopefully the right one. Since they had nothing else to go on he'd take it, and if it was wrong they could just ask someone else. Thanking the guy for his help he returned to his brother and friend, sharing what he'd learned with them. "Yeah, there is water on this world. Just not a ton of it," he pointed out, looking at T'charrl with a small smirk. It was a desert, sure, but that didn't mean there was no water at all, this world wasn't that arid. "There are trees around here, just not nearly as many as there are back on your home... Or ours I guess. I mean look." Even nearby there were two or three palm-like trees sprouting up out of the ground, their leaves a bit paler than normal but still plenty healthy. "I bet there's some around the shaman's place, you can relax under there while we talk to the guy if you want. Or look around a bit, whatever you want." T'charrl certainly didn't have to bore himself while they asked for help, he could even come if he wanted to.

"Alright then, let's go find us that shaman!" The town center, he vaguely remembered where that was from their first visit. Considering where they came in it should be just up ahead through these buildings, maybe. Takeshi wasn't always the best with directions despite liking to think so, evident by his and Shu's escapades in Kaesstra's cities. Nevertheless he promptly took the lead and began walking down the main road again, the trio passing by numerous shops and residents along the way. It was so much livelier than the last time they had come here, it was awesome to see the town in all its glory. They weren't here to look around though so he wasn't going to get sidetracked, they had to find the center and the man in question. "What do you think Shu... Are they going to recognize us...?" Takeshi asked, glancing over at his brother with a grin. "Maybe we should take our hoods off. Who knows? We might be heroes or something here now."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"We might have bubbles on the ship, I haven't exactly looked around," Takeshi answered, shrugging his shoulders before smirking. "Yumi probably has some, girls like that kind of stuff. Maybe you can ask her to borrow her bubbles." If Shu did ask hopefully the little guy had half the presence of mind not to say Takeshi had put him up to it too. Mud bath... He was beginning to think his sibling was missing the point of why you took a bath in the first place. Rolling around in mud didn't sound like it would be all that fun, especially not if they had to wash themselves and their clothes afterwards. "Uh... Maybe we'll play in the mud some time when we get home, or if we find some before then, I guess. Or you can and I'll just watch." Takeshi was all for having fun and letting loose once in a while, but playing around in dirt and mud wasn't quite what he had in mind.

Takeshi wouldn't have nearly as much a dislike for grooming if it didn't involve eating bugs too. Believe him, he was all for being bug free, especially if there were little ones that washing wasn't going to get out. All Shu had to do was toss them aside afterwards, now put them in his mouth. It was even worse by the fact the little guy ate something off of someone's head. Seriously, who ate things off of someone's head? "Groom just... Don't eat what you find. At least not in front of me, please? I don't like it," he said, shuddering slightly. Man, he hated talking about this because it upset Shu too when they couldn't agree on something. They weren't going to like all the same things and he was going to have to learn that. "If you won't eat what you find then you can groom me all you want, how's that? Even... Save what you find for later for all I care, just don't have a snack while you groom me."

Being in town was a bit of a reprieve as the buildings blocked the wind. It was still awfully hot out but at least they weren't being battered anymore. Hopefully once they were inside it would be even better, maybe they could even take off these cloaks. "No one is going to try and kill you T'charrl, trust me. Besides, we're kind of a lot stronger than them, they wouldn't even be able to if they tried." Sure, the Shaharians had fought with them when they were against Viral but they were hardly a deciding factor. They had the courage to fight but not really the power to. Takeshi cringed inwardly hearing their friend make a bug comment, feeling like he was solely responsible for that one. Him and his big mouth, he really ought to learn when to clam up. "Uh yeah, I'll find someone to ask, it can't hurt." he said, nodding before glancing around. There was a man standing outside one of the labelled stores, placing a few items on a small table that he was probably selling. Smiling he walked on over, clearing his throat to get the man's attention.

"Excuse me, we're looking for someone and I was hoping you could help us?" Takeshi asked, folding his hands behind his back. "We're hoping to talk to the one in charge here, we've met him before. Uh... He's a shaman, I think, that's what he called himself. I don't know his name though." Hopefully this one knew where to find the guy, it'd make sense seeing as it was a pretty small settlement. When all he got in turn was a puzzled look the Saiyan frowned, not quite sure why he wasn't given a reply. On a whim he reached up to his scouter and put a finger over the button, grinning sheepishly when he realized he had turned the translator off. Flipping the switch he asked again, getting a reply at last. The man was more than helpful which kind of surprised Takeshi, he wasn't sure how well he'd be recognized wearing this cloak of his. Thanking him for his time the Saiyan went back to the others, flashing a thumbs up. "Found out where he is. That guy says go to the building in the center of the town overlooking the fountain and the shaman is in there. He might be busy though, so we may have to wait a bit."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi wasn't going to tease T'charrl too much about his fear, it wouldn't be very nice. Plus it would be just as easy for him or Shu to turn around and tease about his entomophobia. If their friend could at least get wet to shower then they were fine, it was more than Shu usually did. Only with some rather pushy encouragement did the little Saiyan shower regularly, or semi-regularly. How it had never bothered the older boy before was a bit of a mystery, probably because he hadn't known his brother was playing host to bugs. "Nah, Shu showers more often than that. Usually once a day, or every other at least. No way I'm letting him stay dirty from now on, not if we're sharing beds or food, he's gotta be clean." Takeshi looked over at his brother, grinning as he poked his sibling in the head playfully. "Right? Plus you like taking baths because you get to use bubbles, so they're fun yeah?"

Shu's habit of eating bugs never failed to make Takeshi cringe, it absolutely disgusted him. The very thought of something wriggling as you ate it, or it slid down your throat... He had to stop thinking about it otherwise he might gag. "N-No one has parasites, or any kind of bugs! So no bugs for you buddy, sorry!" he said hastily, not wanting to be jumped on and searched. They were going to have to try and get Shu to kick that habit, it really wasn't something people usually did. In the jungle it might be normal, for monkeys sure, but Shu was not in the jungle nor a monkey. He might have been raised by them but that didn't make him one, even if he did resemble them a bit. A nice change of topic for once saw the young Saiyan defending his older brother, or rather reassuring him he wasn't a bad guy. What Shu didn't know was just what Takeshi had done before they met, and the things he'd done even since were far from 'good'. But if his brother didn't see him in a bad light who was he to argue? Smiling gratefully he gave a small nod, rubbing at his nose. "I'd never be mean to you buddy, you know that."

Takeshi was fine with dropping the bad guy conversation, he wasn't very keen on discussing his past anyways. Besides, what mattered most was the present, and right now he thought himself a pretty decent person, all things considered. "I'm telling you, you've got no reason to worry about these people. Sure they might be a bit... Different at first, but they were really nice. And yeah they might check you out, but that's only because they've never seen a Kaesstrian before. Or not one like you I'd bet." T'charrl would be examined even if he was in his normal state, people were just curious like that. The only reason he and Shu hadn't been checked out the first time is Shaharians were used to Saiyans by that point. Extending a hand out Takeshi gave their friend a pat on the back, flashing a thumbs up and smile as well. "Relax, alright? Things are gonna be fine. Shu and I can vouch if they get suspicious or anything, and they'll warm up to you in no time."

The Shaharians were certainly curious about T'charrl alright. No sooner had they entered the town were heads turning, most of the attention focused on the largest member of the trio. Since the wind was still blowing everyone had their hoods on meaning no one probably recognized either of the brothers. Evidently they weren't seen as a threat, immediately at least as no one approached them. It was nice to be here under better conditions this time around, the town had been repaired and actually looked half decent. It was still much too sandy and hot for Takeshi to consider living in, even as a vacation spot, but it was nice to look at. "Alright, we're looking for their leader. Big guy, looks like all of them. Probably going to be in the biggest house or something like that," Normally that wouldn't be too hard to figure out if not for the fact they couldn't read the words on the buildings. It was safe to assume the structures with writing on them were the public buildings, meaning the leader could either be in one of those... Or one of the homes. Hm... This might take a while.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Sure, you don't mind water at all. You sure seemed to love it on Earth," Takeshi teased, smiling back at T'charrl. Kind of ironic he was making fun of the very person he was usually afraid of, he'd probably get a nice karma slap in the face later for doing this. One good thing about the desert then, no water for their friend to worry about. Lifting his hands he readjusted the hood on his head carefully, doing his best to block out the sand being blown about. "I would hope you're fine with washing. Ever smell someone who doesn't wash often?" he asked, nodding his head discretely towards Shu. "Took a while but man, it was needed." It had been a bit of a challenge getting the little Saiyan to bathe regularly, it still was. After walking around out here, getting all sandy and sweaty a nice cool shower would probably be in order right away too.

T'charrl wasn't the only person not overly crazy about the wind, Takeshi kind of hated it already too. On one hand it cooled them off and on the other it doused them with sand every time it blew. He wouldn't mind it so much if they weren't being sand blasted every few moments, it might actually be a pleasant walk otherwise. Thankfully the hood on his cloak was rather large, bigger than his head, meaning there was plenty of excess material to pull down to shield himself. T'charrl didn't look so lucky, having more issue keeping himself covered. Poor guy, they hadn't had a cloak near his size so they had to make due with a sheet. Once their friend was back to normal he'd be covered no problem, but obviously he wasn't there just yet. ""What...? No, no. I guess I'm the only one could could even say was ever a bad guy. I mean... Viral wasn't himself, so you can't blame him. I'm the only one that was ever bad. You've seen how I get when I'm mad, imagine me like that all the time and there you go, that was me." Shu had seen the tail end of his bad streak, he'd calmed down considerably even before meeting his brother. It was probably a good thing they had met when they had, otherwise Shu would probably have been in trouble.

"We're looking for the one in charge here. I can't remember his name, but he was a little bigger than the others. He had kind of green and yellow scales, and there was a scar on his lip," Takeshi recalled, pointing to his own mouth for emphasis. "I'll know him when we see him, don't worry. There were a few others with him, and a lot more that were hiding, so we'll probably run into a lot of unfamiliar faces." There wasn't much else in the way of description that could be given, it had been a while. Their appearance was pretty vague and he didn't even know what kind of clothing they wore. With the town coming ever closer they were going to find out pretty soon, so it was best they sort things out before getting there. "If they recognize Shu and I we should be fine, you might want to let us talk first though. They were nice enough people... Though that might have been because we were saving them. Even if they're only half as nice this time we should be okay... Probably."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Lizards are... How to put this... They're green and brown usually, and they have scales, which is like hard skin. They've got tails too, and sharp teeth. Er... No that's not right.." Takeshi frowned as he rubbed at his head, trying to think how best to describe a lizard. "You'll understand when you see these people, it's kinda hard to put into words." Another reminder of just how much they had to teach T'charrl, and Shu for that matter. As of late there had been plenty of reason to educate both of them but the simple issue was there just wasn't time for it. Maybe once everything had settled down they could see about getting Shu and T'charrl all caught up, not until then though. Glancing back at his friend Takeshi smiled slightly, giving a shake of his head. "If it's like deserts at home it gets really cold, you won't want to be out here then either. Best we can do is tough it out and get to town, its a little nicer in the buildings and shade. Plus there's the water. Though... You don't like water."

Being beaten on by the wind was possibly worse than the heat they were in. While the wind sort of cooled them off it also blasted them with sand, probably soiling their cloaks and definitely causing some discomfort. Last time they were here it hadn't been nearly this difficult to travel, it was probably a sandstorm or something. Just their luck to come here during a storm. Having Viral brought up made Takeshi grin sheepishly, giving a shrug of his shoulders. "Well... I guess Viral and I do kinda fight a lot, now that I think about it. We always have," he admitted, "I like fighting him though. He's strong and I don't feel like I've ever really beaten him, you know? So when I finally do it'll be a big thing for me." He couldn't fight Viral right now, he wasn't strong enough to fight. Takeshi wouldn't have anything less than the Beastman's best when they fought either, otherwise it was a pretty hollow match even if he won. T'charrl's question was a bit of a puzzling one only because it could go both ways. "When we fought here I guess he was the bad guy, if you put it that way. I've been the bad guy too though, so take that for what it's worth." He basically grew up the bad guy, and he'd certainly done his fair share of unsavory things even since meeting Shu and the others.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Coming back to Shaharia was going to be interesting, it felt like a long time ago since they had been here. In a way it had been, over a month at least, but it felt longer. If this was the right town then the residents probably still did remember him and Shu, so they wouldn't have to waste breath explaining who they were. Good, because this planet was even warmer than Takeshi remembered, and as soon as he stepped down the stairs onto the surface it was like standing in an oven. "Holy crap... Does this place have summer...?" he mumbled, already feeling the heat. At least it was a dry heat and not muggy like in Shu's beloved jungles, he hated feeling all sticky and hot, it was gross. He'd prefer no heat at all if possible, that would be nice. "Huh? Oh, well they're basically lizards. They can live in hot places like this and there is water or them, it's just kind of hard to find. And... Yeah, it's going to be this warm the whole way. I did warn you it was going to be different." T'charrl wanted to see other worlds though so they were going to let him. If he thought this was bad he would be in for a real shock when they reached Pagonia, if he even joined them there.

Watching both Shu and T'charrl bounce about from the hot ground Takeshi laughed shortly, rolling his eyes when his brother finally came to a stop. This is why he wore shoes, especially in a place like this. Sure, his feet were already sweaty and were probably going to stink to hell but they weren't really burning, which was nice. If everyone was done with their antics they could get moving, the town wasn't all too far off and ought to only take a few minutes to reach. Takeshi took the initiative per usual to lead them on, fairly eager to get inside where it would at least be a little cooler, plus the absence of wind. "Hey, I didn't do any of that on purpose you know! I was trying to stop Viral, it's not my fault if a few homes got wrecked," Takeshi said defensively, looking back at Shu. A few homes, the roads, people, who knows how many personal belongings. Okay so maybe he had contributed a little bit to the mess, but it wasn't all his fault, Viral had definitely helped. "Now that you mention it though I really hope they're not sore about that, otherwise it's going to be pretty damn hard getting anything from them."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Recruiting for the rebels, not exactly at the top of anyone's "Things I want to do" list. Nonetheless the group had agreed to undertake the mission. If nothing else it was an excuse to revisit some old friends and get in a bit more traveling before the serious business began. For Viral it meant having more time to try and work on himself, with the help of Vegeta of course. T'charrl would have some more time to practice as well and maybe find a way to revert back to himself soon. The others took the time to train and relax, trying to retain a sense of normalcy despite the battle coming up. It was going to be a bit of a race to get everything done before the battle was slated to begin and the pressure was pretty real. Aside from recruiting they had to help sort their friends out, find Namek, wish Vegeta's parents back and now also look into something for Vegeta as well. Simply put, a ton of work in not a lot of time. Ah well, at least they were going to be kept busy if nothing else.

The first stop on their trip was Shaharia, a planet that no one present had been on in quite some time. For the Princes and Viral they were familiar with the world, however slightly so. The others had never been on this world even once and weren't quite sure what to expect. The arid, flat world must have come as quite the shock to someone like T'charrl who was used to lush, green forests. Those from Earth weren't all too caught off guard, they had deserts like this back home, just not to the same scale. Even so as the world came into view and they got ever closer to landing there was a collective sound of surprise at the planet's appearance. Hopefully no one here hated the heat as it was going to be awfully muggy on the surface. Not to mention the sandstorms that were being whipped up, especially as the ship touched down on the surface. It was probably a safe measure to get something to protect themselves from the sand while they went into the city. Having found the same one as before by the abandoned ship depot on the outskirts the group had settled down out in the flat open expanse, trying to avoid landing too close to anything and making people worry. Their landing had been anything but discreet either way so people had probably taken notice by now. Safe bet to send in someone they were familiar with.

"Man... It's been a while since we were here!" Takeshi said, smiling as he looked out the door of the ship. It was kind of nostalgic to have returned to Shaharia, and this time they weren't going to have to fight Viral. Shame it wasn't a nicer planet for them or they could actually come here to relax sometime. Probably better to go to somewhere like Kaesstra or even Uuonoe for that, a world that was at least slightly like their own. For this particular trip it would only be himself and Shu going to speak with the Shaharian leader, along with T'charrl who wanted to experience a new planet. Viral had been here before too but not under the best of pretenses so it was decided that it would be best for him to stay on the ship. Takeshi (Yumi really) took the precaution of getting them clothing that would help them better while wandering around in the desert, as even being out for a short time could be challenging. Each of the three were given white cloaks to help shield themselves both from the winds, sand and the sun. In the case of T'charrl it was more of a modified bed sheet, but semantics.

"Remember, you three are just here to find whoever is in charge and ask for some help. We've got too much to do to hang around here for long." Vegeta was very much doing his best to keep on schedule and get all they had to do over with. He was feeling pressured still despite Sayomi telling him to relax and it showed a fair bit. Rubbing at his forehead the Saiyan glanced out the doorway as well, seeing the town off in the distance. "I'm guessing your scouters will work here, I didn't notice any interference when we were landing. So take these with you and if anything comes up let us know."

Needing scouters on this planet was a little silly, Takeshi didn't think these aliens would even consider being hostile towards him and Shu. Just to humor Vegeta though he took the scouters with a nod, handing them over to his brother and T'charrl respectively. "Yeah yeah, you got it. We'll let you know if we're suddenly taken hostage or something," he joked, smirking as he affixed the device to his ear. Right then, time to go see some old friends! Hopefully that leader of theirs was still around, if not he hadn't a damn clue who they were supposed to go to for help. "Come on guys," Takeshi said, stepping out the door and jumping down onto the ground, "Help's not going to find itself!" What they were going to get from the Shaharians was a bit of a mystery, he couldn't remember them having all that much before anyways. If Korian thought it was worthwhile then they would look into it, maybe bring back a nice rock or something for him.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Okay, so maybe it was a bit selfish to keep humans from space. Realistically Vegeta would only ever be responsible for so much of what might happen. Once people took the initiative to travel outwards it was no longer his problem, though he didn't like thinking that way. Ultimately he supposed his only real concern was making sure their ships worked correctly, and from thereon in it would come down to the humans themselves to ensure their own safety. "I don't want them isolated, that's the thing. I think it would be a great thing for humanity to travel among the stars, but I worry about how they'll fare..." Looking at Sayomi the younger Saiyan smiled faintly, nodding his head before giving a light sigh. She was right, he couldn't think that every little issue was solely because of him. Perhaps there was just too much pressure on him right now, maybe asking for a helping hand from someone could be his saving grace. He went on about Viral needing help but it almost felt like he was the one that needed a little push now and again. "You're right... I can't help everything. Thanks for that."

Vegeta didn't quite understand how Sayomi felt, she was a lifetime soldier and he wasn't. He did get what she was talking about to a point, he had seen it with his own eyes. War was just a back and forth, and even when someone "won" it was an empty victory. Nothing was worth losing countless lives over, for ruining so many families and futures. War was... Disgusting, as a lot of what they had experienced as of late was. He wasn't a naive child and wasn't going to wish for there to never be war again because he knew that was an absurd notion. People had differences, people would fight and die for those differences. Hell, here they were now doing the very same thing even with such opposition to it. "Even a loop has its end though, nothing is perpetual in this universe," Vegeta remarked, smiling faintly. "Yeah, I think it's best we move on. If you'll allow me then I would love to use your lab before we go, I'm sure you've got more resources than I do. As for the others, if you wouldn't mind I think a meal is a good idea. Otherwise I can't see anyone sitting still long enough for me to work."

This plan would work, it had to. Korian was willing to wager the fate of their rebellion on Viral's proposal which should speak volumes about his confidence. After shutting down the demonstration he turned to the Beastman, offering a small smile as he nodded his head in appreciation. "I'm sorry to say we didn't meet under better circumstances, Viral. We're allies now, but I know that the ties making us so are strained at best. I would have been proud to battle alongside you before now, for what it's worth." They weren't here for pleasantries or what-ifs, they both had matters to attend to. He knew the Beastman wasn't keen on their given task but the rebel was certain it would be done, it's why he asked these kids. They may not always be the most willing but he had learned they were reliable, as reliable as anyone else in his ranks. "I am sorry that we're disrupting your plans like this, honestly. Were there anyone else reliable or capable enough I thought I could turn to I would have. We've inconvenienced you and your friends enough as it is." After this they could completely cut ties if they wanted to, Korian wouldn't raise a finger in protest. It would be a shame if they did, this group had a lot of potential to keep making a difference. If they chose to go their own way for the time being then he wouldn't stop them. "Thank you for doing this, it'll help us get one step closer to finishing this godforsaken war."

They would get Shu the help he wanted and needed, just not right now. Once they got back on their own ship maybe Yumi would be willing to talk with Shu for a little, just to ease his nerves at the very least. The only suggestion Takeshi could even offer was to get stronger and overcome his fears, which was kind of funny coming from someone who couldn't do just that. Facing your fears could probably help, Shu had done it once before after all in the jungle. Bringing that up only served to make the little guy even more bummed out, making the older boy feel worse in turn. Bananas was the only thing that could get Shu out of his slowly forming rut, and it immediately backed Takeshi into a corner as a result. "I don't have any bananas on me Shu, honest!" he replied quickly, putting his hands up defensively. "I think there's some back on the ship though, so we'll get you one then, okay? Just calm down." Seriously, he was like a dog when you spoke to him in that stupid voice, Shu just went... Well, bananas. Smiling exasperatedly Takeshi reached out and placed a hand on Shu's shoulder to make him stop bouncing, rolling his eyes before looking at his brother amused. "Can you relax until then?"
