Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Hopefully T'charrl was going to be alright by himself. Takeshi felt bad for up and leaving like this, but they needed to get this job over with sooner rather than later. It was as his friend had said, the longer they took the more potential risk innocent people were put in, they couldn't afford to linger in the ship all day. With any luck the doctor would at the very least provide some company, or take him to Vegeta so T'charrl wouldn't have to be alone. Bad things seemed to happen when the Kaesstrian was alone, best not to leave him be then. Leaving behind their friend for this mission made him resent it a bit, all the more reason to get this over with. Using a big burst of speed the shuttle blasted out of the hangar, rocketing across the desert as they sped towards their destination. Inside the brothers were jostles slightly as the ship flew, bouncing occasionally in their seats. "Rhetorical question Shu!" Takeshi laughed, shaking his head and glancing over at his brother, "Means you don't have to answer. We'll be quick, I already know that." If they couldn't get into the place by playing a ruse then they'd just muscle their way inside, and like hell anyone could stop them. Servas would have the guilty party soon enough, and they could be on their way.

Speaking of what was next... They were heading back to Pagonia, if he remembered right. From one vacation spot to another, what fun. Takeshi figured that frozen tundra was a little nicer though, all you needed was some warm clothes and you were fine. Here they were dressed lightly and covered from the sun yet still it was hot as anything. Both of these planets were anything but hospitable to someone like T'charrl, meaning he likely wouldn't play a very big role in either of them. Disappointing for someone supposed to be visiting other worlds, for sure. Takeshi frowned at that, not at all pleased with how things were turning out for their friend. Transformations, injuries, and now being forcibly excluded because of the climate, some journey this was turning into for the guy. "Shu... I want to ask you something..." he mumbled, staring ahead through the windshield sadly. "Do... You think I'm a good friend to people...?" It might hurt, but Takeshi wanted to know the truth of the matter. Shu may not be the best person to be asking this, but hell, he'd take anyone's opinion right now. "Or do you think I'm not...? Be honest, I want to know."

Having a training session with Viral, with both Shu and himself, that could be interesting. Takeshi wasn't sure how well their training would translate into one another but if anyone could figure it out, it was Viral. Among their entire entourage the Beastman was by far the best, perhaps only weapons master. It was the reason that Takeshi was going to him, not T'charrl. Sure, the Kaesstrian probably could teach him as well, but to the same degree? No, Viral's expertise was above what the Prince had, he was certain of that. It was part of the reason he wanted to fight Viral so badly, to really see what his friend was capable of, at full power. That aside, it would just be fun, training alongside Shu again. Goodness knows the little guy should learn to use his staff finally, it had basically been sitting and collecting dust since he'd gotten it. "Viral will teach us, I'm sure of it. Just don't count on him being nice about it," Takeshi said, smiling slightly as he looked back at T'charrl. Afraid... Maybe, something was definitely getting to T'charrl. "Just wait here a second buddy, I'm going to go talk to him." Least that could be done before they went off, especially considering he was responsible for it.

"T'charrl...? You scared about something? About what we're doing?" That was the only thing that came to mind, nothing else even remotely scary had happened. Maybe all this traveling was finally getting to T'charrl, he could be homesick or something. Giving his friend a thoughtful look Takeshi smiled slightly, placing a hand on his hip and letting his friend talk for a moment. If it was so small then why was the Kaesstrian almost panicking? Eh, he probably shouldn't push the subject, it'd only cause problems. Sighing softly Takeshi stepped closer, reaching out and putting a hand on T'charrl's shoulder, flashing a thumbs up with his other hand. "Hey, whatever is eating at you don't sweat it, alright? You're perfectly safe with us, and things are going to turn out alright. And no one's calling you a coward, T'charrl. Cowards don't fight Generals, or leave their home planet to join some war. You're anything but a coward." Hopefully that did a little something to alleviate some stress. Either way his friend was right, they should get moving. The longer they delayed the more danger people would be in. Giving T'charrl's shoulder a pat, Takeshi moved back towards the ship, "Don't wait up for us, we'll be back soon! Hope you're hungry later too because we'll have fruit!"

Right then, time to get this show on the road. Taking his place at the main controls Takeshi glanced over the cockpit, re-familiarizing himself with everything inside. Flipping a switch to seal the cargo bay he then flipped another set, the thrusters of the ship coming to life with a dull humming sound. With the engines on he used the wheel to pivot the ship around, at the same time drawing back on a stick to readjust the thrusters so they rose into the air. "Ready to go get these jerks, Shu?" Takeshi asked, grinning as he gave the ship a bit more throttle, the engines roaring to life now. Before they shot off he reached over, doing up his brother's harness for him then his own. Safely strapped in the older boy winked at his sibling before hitting the throttle once more, sending the ship flying forward and shooting out of the hangar. Oh yeah, at this rate they would reach the other city in no time. With the storm dying down now too they cut across the landscape like a hot knife through butter, leaving a massive dust trail behind themselves. Eh, discretion was never really his strong suit anyways. "How long you figure this will take us? Ten minutes? Maybe fifteen?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Jeez, now Takeshi was feeling all guilty over T'charrl, like he somehow had done this. The reality of course was in fact it was his fault, but he didn't know that. Now that their friend sounded upset he felt crummy and almost wanted to suggest the Kaesstrian come along anyways. If he wasn't feeling well though then staying was what was best for him, even if was a lousy option. Smiling apologetically the Saiyan rubbed at the back of his neck, looking at T'charrl before sighing, "Hey, you don't got to just sit around you know... I just figured take it easy while you're not feeling that well." Didn't seem like such a bad thing, worrying about your friend. Evidently somewhere along the line something had been done to upset T'charrl though. Hm... Maybe he should get back in touch with the bridge, or call the doctor and tell him to not bother. Guy was probably on his way already, calling his room would be pointless. Darn, well this is what he got for trying to be helpful, he supposed.

"We'll ask Viral about training later today, alright? I'm sure he wouldn't mind too much." That might be a slight lie, Viral hardly sounded enthusiastic about Takeshi asking. Then again he had sort of barged in while the Beastman was relaxing then gotten all mouthy, it might have been that too. Hopefully Viral did know how to use a staff, otherwise they would have a difficult time tracking down an instructor for one. Using a few straps Takeshi carefully tied down their food, not wanting fruits flying all over the place while they were moving. Being addressed by Shu the older boy looked up curiously, glancing over his shoulder at their friend. "You think he's scared...?" he mumbled, cocking his head to the side thoughtfully. Hm... Well definitely upset, he could tell that much, but scared? What did T'charrl have to be scared over? "Hey, wait here for a second Shu, I'm going to go ask him." Pulling up his own hood Takeshi stepped out of the shuttle, placing a hand on his hip while glancing up at T'charrl confused. "You scared about something...?" he asked, not really knowing a tactful way to bring that up. "If something's scaring you, tell us, we can help. You nervous about what we're doing?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi gave T'charrl a funny look, almost thinking he was being lied to. For the Kaesstrian to turn down fruit something had to be wrong, no way would he do that otherwise. 'Course, could just be his friend wasn't hungry too, maybe he was just getting ahead of himself. Sighing softly the Saiyan put his hands on his hips, looking at T'charrl for a moment before smiling. "Fine, fine, if you don't want to see the doctor then don't. We'll just tell the guy you went to your room or something. Sheesh, if I had known you were so against seeing a doctor I'd never have called him." Now he was thinking T'charrl just wasn't a fan of doctors. As he recalled their brief meeting with that royal practitioner hadn't made the Prince seem all to settled, perhaps there was a pattern there. Yeah, that had to be it. Nodding to himself Takeshi went ahead and grabbed the goods he had brought down, tucking each container under an arm carefully. "I guess just take it easy for now, Shu and I can take it from here. I wouldn't go train or anything though while your wings are like that, probably would make it worse. Probably don't need to tell you that though."

It was disappointing that T'charrl wouldn't be seeing the mission through, he probably would have liked seeing more of the planet. With the sandstorm dying down now the only thing they had to contend with was the heat, and the shuttle made that a non-factor. Since they had the luxury of time on their side Takeshi wasn't particularly pressed to get going again. He did, however, want to at least be ready, and to do that he and Shu had to stock up their ship. Having his brother open up the cargo hold he went ahead and put in all of their food, going back over to where he'd left the medical kit and placing that inside as well. Better safe than sorry, the shuttle didn't have a medical case in it anymore since no one ever used it basically. "You and your fruit... I worry sometimes how you'd get on without it," Takeshi teased, smiling as he stepped out of the shuttle. "Everything is going to be fine. We're way better fighters than these people, and I've got my sword if we really need it. Plus... You know, I should have really thought to grab your staff..." Come to think of it, Shu still needed lessons. Hm... Maybe Viral wouldn't mind doubling up on instruction, if he knew how to use a staff, that was. "I'm ready to go whenever you are, little buddy," he added, glancing over to T'charrl then. "And let us know where you're at when we get back, yeah? You'll want to try some of this fruit, it's not too bad."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi felt he was doing a good thing for T'charrl, being so prompt to get his friend help. Considering how tumultuous the Kaesstrians well being could be they couldn't be too safe, bringing a doctor down was a good idea. Upon rejoining his friend and brother Takeshi slapped T'charrl on the back gently, beaming down at him and sharing the good news. "Just to be safe, the doc is coming to see you. If nothing's wrong then hey, no problem. Plus it's the guys job to look after us so I doubt he minds. Been kind of slow on the work front otherwise." Not a lot in the way of injuries had happened as of late, unless you counted in a few strains and burns from training. Soreness wasn't something that warranted a visit from the doctor, and neither was exhaustion. "Maybe he can do something for your wings? I mean... They'll heal eventually, but if he can help it faster then why knock it?" Ever blissfully unaware Takeshi had no clue he was the reason T'charrl was so disheveled, not having seen a single issue with using his sword as a peeler. Whatever was bothering their friend he was certain the doctor would find and have fixed up nice and quick though.

Now then, back to their little mission. The brothers might not be leaving until the doctor arrived but that didn't prevent them from getting ready. Since Takeshi knew there was no easy way to pull Shu away from a large container of fruit he figured they might as well do the next best thing; Stow it away and bring it along with them. Not unsurprisingly Shu took to that idea rather well. "Alright alright, careful you don't hurt yourself you nut," Takeshi laughed, watching as his brother stumbled about. They were really going to need to get him used to walking in shoes one of these days, he couldn't go barefoot everywhere. Finding fruit on Shaharia... Well they knew the aliens had it, he had seen some while they were heading to meet with Servas. Shu probably had to, and per usual the older hadn't the heart to tell his brother no. Sighing softly he gave a nod of his head, looking at his sibling amused, "Fine, we'll get you some fruit before we go. Not a whole lot though, we've got tons of it already because of you and T'charrl. I didn't even take half of what we have stocked." Since their diets wholly consisted of fruit more or less a ton of it had to be shipped in and preserved for the pair, meat was a secondary meal to them. Personally Takeshi wanted to get Shu eating other things more, but Yumi and Vegeta were far more accommodating in that regard. Going to the bag of fruits Takeshi hoisted it up over his shoulder, nodding his head towards the shuttle. "Hit the button by the rear door, will you? My hands are full," he added, grabbing the crate in his free hand.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi didn't know what was wrong with the mango, Shu had no issue eating it. He'd thought T'charrl would have loved it considering he'd had a mango smoothie, maybe he just wasn't in the mood for that. Evidently neither was he in the mood for an apple. And for whatever reason he was acting all uneasy now, stuttering and looking off. Maybe he was coming down with something, after all Kaesstrians weren't used to so many different environments. "Alright, if you say so..." he mumbled, watching as the apple was put back. Definitely something wrong, considering the guy had to be hungry and was turning down basically the only thing he ate. Giving his head a thoughtful scratch Takeshi punched a small hole in the orange with his thumb, munching on a slice contently. Now that was a flavor rush, just another fruit or two and he'd probably be good to get going. T'charrl again though looked like he was having trouble, just sitting there seemed to be stressing him out. "We're not going to make smoothies, they'd probably get all melted in this heat anyways," Takeshi said, waving a hand dismissively. "Are you sure you don't want to go anywhere...? What's wrong anyways, you seemed fine before. Not feeling well or something?"

T'charrl had to be coming down with something, Takeshi was just surprised at how suddenly his illness had onset. Darn shame he knew nothing about medicine or he could probably give the Kaesstrian something for whatever ailed him. "Well, if you're not feeling up to going back out then that's cool, we won't force you to do it," Takeshi said, popping another few slices of orange into his mouth. "I'll get Vegeta to come down here, or the doc or someone and they can look at you, alright? I'm not gonna leave unless I know you're gonna be fine." Not given his friend so much a chance to say anything to the contrary the Saiyan already got to his feet, going up to the control room where the panel was for putting through a call. With a mouthful of oranges still he pressed the call button after finding the bridge, waiting until he heard noise on the other end to speak. "Hi, it's Takeshi again. Listen, is Vegeta there? Or is the doc around?"

The crewman at the intercom glanced around the room, trying to spot the familiar mess of spiky black hair. "No sir, Mister Vegeta isn't here right now. I don't know where he's gone, but the doctor should be in his office. Would you like me to patch you through to him?"

"Nah, just send him down to the hangar when you can. T'charrl's acting kind of off, maybe he's got heat stroke or something. I just want him to get checked out, you know? Thanks a lot." Ending the call there Takeshi came back down the stairs, smiling proudly in spite of probably doing what T'charrl hadn't wanted him to do. "Don't worry buddy, the doctor's gonna be right down and he'll take a look at you! Vegeta's busy, but this guy is good too, so you'll be fine," he said, giving T'charrl a small slap on the back. Turning back to Shu the older boy gestured to the shuttle with his thumb, raising an eyebrow questioningly. "Hey, how's about we load the ship with our food? When the doctor gets here we can get going and we can eat on the way if we need to."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

The fruit was hitting the spot right about now, but then again toilet water could probably quench their thirst just as easily. Takeshi wouldn't complain, even if he would have preferred some kind of meat. Just something to wet his tongue a little and keep his throat from drying up, that was all. Shu sounded like he was in heaven at the moment, munching down the banana in the blink of an eye, drinking back the container of juice too. Smirking in amusement the older boy finished off his nectarine, throwing it outside before licking a bit of juice from his fingers mindfully. "Fruit is pretty good, isn't it? Good think we've got a refrigerator, I can't imagine it'd be very good all warm and mushy." If his sibling wanted more then he could help himself, there was enough to go around. Takeshi was a bit more concerned with helping T'charrl eat his mango, seeing the alien trying to munch through the rind. Taking it away gently he withdrew his sword, using it as an impromptu peeler and getting rid of the skin. Having handed it back to T'charrl then he expected it to be eaten, tilting his head to the side in confusion when the Kaesstrian gave it up to Shu instead.

"What's the matter, don't like mango...?" Takeshi asked, oblivious to the issue T'charrl had. "Weird, you had some in a smoothie back on Earth, but I guess fresh tastes a little different. Alright, something else then..." Giving the sword a shake to rid it of the juices he carefully sheathed the blade again before reaching into the bag, digging around a little before finding an apple, smiling as he took it out and gave it a careful look over. Blowing on it Takeshi gave it a good rubbing on his sleeve, making it shine before offering it over to his friend. "Try that, it's a little tart but good. Just be careful of the core, you don't want to eat that." Or maybe he did, who knows, T'charrl might like it. People ate weird things, like Shu and his bugs, at this point nothing would surprise him. From the bag he grabbed himself an orange, licking his lips eagerly as he stuck a thumb through the skin and began peeling it off methodically. "You know... We could be making smoothies, now that I think about it..." he mumbled, popping a slice of orange into his mouth. "I mean, we've got fresh fruit, and ice cream and all... It wouldn't be like the ones we buy, but they'd be pretty good I bet..." Making smoothies meant going back to the kitchen though, and Takeshi didn't feel like getting back up just yet, he'd only just gotten comfortable.

There certainly should be enough here for all three of them, even if only as a light snack. They just needed the energy to deal with these Shaharians and they could come back to a real meal, maybe. Hopefully everyone else didn't eat while they were gone, otherwise it would be up to them, or more exact, Takeshi to get them dinner, or lunch... Whatever time of day it was. For T'charrl, a can of a smoothie-like drink and a mango, and for Shu the bigger portion of a banana and a cup of orange juice. Taking a seat beside his brother the older boy smiled cheerfully, watching as Shu got all excited over his fruit. There were a few more in the bag, this little guy could probably eat all of them no problem. Popping the small bit into his mouth the Saiyan sighed pleasantly, glad to have something to fill the dry void. Walking around in the desert left his mouth feeling like cotton, and the sudden surge of flavor from the banana was heavenly. It was too small for his liking, and while not the biggest fan of fruit Takeshi wanted something more. From the bag of food he found himself a nectarine, giving it a careful polishing on his sleeve before biting into it happily.

"I doubt either of us could bite you anyways," Takeshi joked, smiling as T'charrl came to join them. The Kaesstrian was so big neither of their mouths would fit around him, unless they bit his finger or antennae or something, ech. Watching their friend try to munch on the rind of the mango he smiled apologetically, crawling over and carefully snatching the fruit away. "Ah... Should have mentioned, you don't really want to eat the skin. It's tough and doesn't taste very good. Give me a sec, I'll fix it for you." Hm... How to peel the mango though... Aha! Reaching back Takeshi withdrew his sword, holding it carefully in one hand. Making twisting motions with the mango he began to peel off the skin, smiling proudly once he had completely taken it off. Sure, it was a far cry from what he intended to use the sword for, but at least it was getting used. "Here, try that now," he said, offering it back over. Like the banana peel he threw the mango shavings outside, grabbing his nectarine back and munching on it lazily. "Hm... If you two want more just grab it from the bag, we might as well finish it all while we're here."
