Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Normally Takeshi wouldn't go anywhere near T'charrl, not in his current state. Their friend was much too... Buggy, for his liking, touching him would be beyond unthinkable. For whatever reason though he put aside his phobia at that moment, perhaps out of desperation or need to help a friend, he didn't know. Shu was rampaging but he would be okay, and honestly at this point he scarcely cared if Sana lived or died. Realistically the outcome would be the same, wouldn't it? Hell, things might even be better if that guy was killed. Grabbing hold of his massive friend, the Saiyan carefully dragged T'charrl out of the road, propping him up against a shady spot along a nearby building. It might be a moot effort, but a syringe he had brought along contained within it a painkiller solution, and it was subsequently injected into the Kaesstrian. Throwing away the used up medicine Takeshi sighed tiredly, lifting his head to watch what Shu was doing. Sana was doing his damnedest to keep away, throwing Ki blasts and darting about. Unfortunately for the Shaharian he didn't know just how moot an effort that was. Once Shu was in a rampage very little would stop him. Takeshi himself wasn't sure if he could even help it now, but he figured he might as well try. Feeling something grab his arm he glanced down, frowning seeing what T'charrl was doing.

"Save your energy, heal yourself," Takeshi said, prying T'charrl's hand away gently. "I'm a Saiyan, it might hurt like hell but this won't kill me. Do what you can for now, heal yourself. I'll be back as soon as I help Shu." He couldn't care if Sana died, but Shu would most certainly be regrettable if he carried out the killing. His little brother simply didn't handle death very well, a trait that Takeshi was quite glad his sibling hadn't inherited. His own being was battered quite a bit, but he had to try and get in the middle of those two and stop anything bad from happening. Giving T'charrl a small smile he nodded his head before flying up towards the roof, watching alarmed as Shu again tried to pounce on the Shaharian. Luckily for their target he was fair slippery, evading the warped boy's grasp by mere centimeters. Setting his feet down on the rooftop he winced as his shoulder stung again, feeling like it was burning from the pain. Placing his opposite hand over the wound Takeshi looked over at Shu, slowly approaching him. "Shu! You need to calm down! You'll kill him if you keep this up!" Gods only hope that he could still listen to reason at this point, the kid had definitely been beyond help before.

Sana had gone from confident to panicked fairly quickly, and for good reason. In his regular form Shu was a fair opponent but nothing serious, he could be handled. This though, even someone as unpracticed as the Shaharian could pick up on the massive gap in their power. It wasn't just an un-winnable battle he was facing here, it was suicide. After narrowly avoiding being trapped yet again he moved closer to the edge of the roof, glancing down over it before looking back at now both Princes. Damn it all, so Takeshi was still able to fight. By some stroke of luck it sounded like the elder Prince was trying to calm his brother down, hopefully that would work in his favor. Knowing full well how bad attacking right now would be Sana tried to take advantage of the distraction, leaping down off of the building and onto the road below. With a final glance back up he began running down the sidewalk, trying to get as far away as possible.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

The guards were going to have to wait, T'charrl and Shu were in need of a helping hand right now. Not that Takeshi was sure what he could do for his friend, he wasn't medically trained, at most he could treat small cuts and bruises. Seeing how torn up and battered T'charrl was the Saiyan resigned himself to being useless, not even knowing where to begin to help. The least he could do perhaps was move the Kaesstrian to somewhere out of the sun and the heat, somewhere in the shade. Smiling tiredly he sheathed his sword, moving around and placing his hands on T'charrl's back, hoisting him up into a sitting position. "You're going to be okay, just hang on buddy," he said, groaning as he pulled T'charrl along. They could use the shade of a nearby building for now, the sidewalk might not be the softest thing but it was better than lying in the middle of the road. Propping up his friend against the wall Takeshi patted himself down, certain he had brought something with him just for this. True, he wasn't a medic, but he knew how medicine worked. Miraculously he found a small syringe in one of his pockets, something he'd grabbed before coming out here with Shu. It was a painkiller basically, hopefully it'd do some good. "Hold still... This is going to sting a bit." Pushing some fur out of the way he carefully injected the solution into T'charrl, letting the entirety of it sink in before throwing the used syringe away.

"S-Stop you fool! You can't capture me if I'm dead!" Sana shouted, watching Shu in terror. This form of his, it was supposed to be powerful enough to defeat Commander Viral. If something that strong existed then he didn't have a hatchling's chance in the desert of surviving this fight. Despite his fervent protests the young Prince went on with his changes, turning into a terrifying Oozaru-like being. Trembling slightly at the overwhelming power he felt the Shaharian looked for an escape route, having no desire to do battle any longer. The chance to move was stripped away when Shu turned on him abruptly, closing the gap with astonishing speed and landing right beside Sana. Though they were much closer now, within striking range, the Saiyan made no move to hit him. Why was that? Staring wide eyed at his opponent the Shaharian jumped away, throwing a quick cluster of Ki blasts, anything to keep Shu at bay. "Stay back! Don't come near me!"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Two good blasts, that ought to put these children into their place. If Shu was taken out by the attack then Sana could focus on the alien, that should make things easier on him. With any luck he'd finish off T'charrl before Takeshi could intervene, and then he'd be more than ready to take down the other Prince as well. With a devious smile the Shaharian tossed his attacks out, watching as they sped towards their targets, moving right at them. They were sure to hit were it not for the damn alien's interference. By some unusual method he actually absorbed the attacks, sucking them in like they were nothing. It did have repercussions however as Sana witnessed his opponent flop onto his back, loosing his footing in the process. While trying to regain it T'charrl made a big mistake and ended up over the edge of the building, desperately clinging to stay up. A fruitless endeavor, Sana watched satisfied as the alien took a tumble, landing on the ground with a resounding thud. Hissing out a laugh he looked over at Shu, instantly regretting that attack as the boy seemed to be close to his tipping point. Realizing what was happening Sana stepped back uneasily, his mouth hanging open as he held his claws up. "H-Hang on! You are to take me alive, yes? Cannot change then! Stay as you, boy!" If Shu was allowed to transform then that would be it for him.

This whole battle just really sucked. Being stabbed, beaten and dragged through the dirt wasn't Takeshi's idea of fun, nor was it Shu's or T'charrl's. At least they were getting somewhere though and it wasn't a moot effort. With most of the guards dealt with now they could hopefully wrap this fight up and be on their way. Between Shu and T'charrl the leader should have his hands full, Takeshi may not even need to become involved. That sentiment lasted right up until Sana went on the offensive, sending a pair of quite strong blasts at his brother and friend. Watching in silent horror as they seemed about to implode, T'charrl's surprising counter probably saved his and Shu's lives. It was not a foolproof plan however as the Kaesstrian was knocked off of the roof as a result, coming crashing down to the street. To make matters worse Shu's Ki levels were spiking, a sign that a change was coming on. Dammit, this wasn't good. Looking over at their fallen friend Takeshi bit his lip, resolving to help T'charrl first and hope his sibling could hold himself back for now. Turning his head back to the remaining guards he reached out to them, firing two Ki blasts that exploded near them and disoriented them, at least for a moment. Quickly running over then to his friend's side Takeshi looked him over uncertainly, not sure what to make of all the wounds. "T'charrl...? Can you hear me...?" he asked, "Say something."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Sana hissed angrily at being blasted like that, glaring at Shu over his arms. These children were fortunate he was to take them alive, something like that never would pass with him otherwise. Curses it stung, he hated being hit by Ki. Looking down at his burned arms before getting to his feet the Shaharian smiled, amused that the young Prince was trying to intimidate him. The boy was nothing more than a hatchling, and while powerful his looks were anything but imposing. "Strong, are you? I am strong too. I wonder, who strongest? Me or you?" Leaning over Sana opened up his mouth, emitting a throaty hiss as energy began to gather up in his maw. Once a small bit of Ki had formed he clamped his jaws closed around it, eying Shu and T'charrl smugly before opening his mouth and releasing the Ki in a decent sized blast, skidding back along the rooftop as it was released. He'd like to see them dodge this!

Grunting as he picked himself back up onto his feet Takeshi lifted his head, panting tiredly as he eyed the remaining three guards. Damn, only one of them had been hit so far, the other two looked to be completely fine. He on the other hand was battered, bruised and bleeding, not exactly raring to go. Feeling a bit naked without his sword in hand the Saiyan looked over towards the discarded weapon, one of the guards doing so as well. The two exchanged a look before both made a dart for it, getting there at the same time. Trying to pull the weapon away Takeshi punched the alien in the side of the head, getting the same in return. Fine, there was something the alien couldn't replicate. With both of them gripping the sword he shot up into the air, dragging the Shaharian with him. Grabbing the alien's other arm he kicked the guard in the chest, watching as that made the guy tumble down and land on the road with a thud, probably breaking some bones in the process. Okay, so now there was two, but jeez was he feeling tired. In the air he noticed the gathering of energy, looking towards Shu and T'charrl confused. When he saw the blast heading their way his eyes widened in shock, very worried what that might do if it hit. "Shu, T'charrl, move!"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Something had to be done if they were going to win this fight. Either Sana had to be taken down quickly or they had to beat his men and force him to surrender. The only issue with the latter is they needed to keep Sana from fleeing too, and T'charrl was barely in a state to be chasing someone down, let alone fighting. There weren't many guards left, one person could probably take them on. Takeshi voted for himself to be that person, being more comfortable having Shu alongside their friend rather than fighting by himself. Grabbing hold of his brother's arm Takeshi hoisted him forward, putting his all into tossing Shu up to the roof where T'charrl was. He might need help, who knows, but they couldn't worry about that right now. These people wanted him and Shu alive, it wasn't as if he'd be killed fighting these goons. The older boy near instantly regretted his decision when he saw Sana throw Ki blasts at his brother and friend, tensing up until both blasts were extinguished by T'charrl. They would be fine, they were plenty capable together. All he had to do was tidy up down here and then he could join them.

Shu and Takeshi had to be taken alive, the King would accept no less. Battered and bloodied, but alive, he was willing to damage the merchandise a bit if it meant securing them. So it was that Sana didn't feel a need to hold back, hurling two Ki blasts at the new alien and Shu, trying to put them both down quickly. To his chagrin the alien looked to be protecting the boy, easily blocking one attack and seemingly eating the other one. Hissing in annoyance the Shaharian gathered more energy in his claws, determined to keep up a volley to prevent those two from retaliating. Before Sana could so much as lift a hand T'charrl jumped after him, his massive figure creating a shadow on the roof, eclipsing the sun. Staring wide eyed at his assailant Sana hastily rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding being crushed under the alien. Since he was so busy avoiding becoming a lizard pancake he couldn't do too much about the young Prince's blast, only raising his arms to try and reduce the impact. Getting hit head on Sana was knocked back off of his feet, landing on his backside with a shout of anger. His arms were slightly reddened with some scales burned away. It wasn't too bad but annoying, not being able to kill these boys was going to prove the hardest part of this battle.

Was throwing Shu up there the best idea? With T'charrl protecting him his brother should be fine, but then what of their friend? Was Shu going to be able to keep T'charrl safe? Takeshi worried a lot about the Kaesstrian, seeing him so beaten up as he was now. If Sana didn't see a need for their friend then T'charrl might well be killed if he wasn't careful. For now those two were going to have to make due, he couldn't do anything to help them, not with the guards here. Looking back at the four Shaharians still with him the Saiyan smiled painfully, gathering Ki into his left hand again as he held the sword readily at his side. For a moment he and his opponents just stood there, staring one another down as they waited for the first move. Soon as one of the guards shifted his weight Takeshi dashed in, vanishing and trying to attack them from behind. Attempting to knock one out with the hilt of his sword he cursed when his attack was blocked, using the Ki in his hand to blast away the offending Shaharian. The third one was quick to attack for their dispatched comrade, smacking Takeshi in the head with his tail and knocking him away. Losing grip on his sword Takeshi fell onto the road, bouncing a bit before ending up one his side, groaning in pain as his ears rang dully from being smacked. Stupid lizards...

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Dealing with the Princes was a challenge enough, now this creature had to intervene. Sana couldn't let himself be captured, he'd need to play this carefully, he could still win. Watching as the alien came after him he was forced to back off, simultaneously dodging both Ki blasts from Takeshi and T'charrl's advances. The damage being caused to his headquarters and the surrounding complex, this was detestable. The King had best make his pay worthwhile for handing those two over, it would take a long time to rebuild all of this, not to mention get his men seen to. His tribulations were far from over as a massive claw stretched out to snatch him up. Darting to the side to avoid being grabbed Sana hissed angrily, having no desire to deal with yet another fighter. Getting close wasn't an option, so long as he could keep his distance he could beat this beast. "Interfere and you pay! Kill you first, then take Princes!"

T'charrl could hold off Sana for the moment, he and Shu had to regroup. Takeshi was feeling weary at this point from his injuries but had to keep going, they needed to see this through. Forcing himself over to his brother he extended a hand out, helping Shu back to his feet with a groan. They had to support their friend somehow, he couldn't fight alone, not in his state. "I know he is... And there's still guards left..." he mumbled, frowning as he looked at the remaining opponents. Not many, and most were already injured. Their actual target was still fresh and ready to go however, he was their biggest concern. Looking at Shu for a moment Takeshi grabbed his arm, holding his sword before himself defensively as he stared down their enemy. "I'm sending you up there to help T'charrl, okay? Just leave these guys to me, I'll be up there before long." Putting one leg forward Takeshi pulled Shu along, with some effort managing to toss his brother up onto the roof behind where T'charrl and Sana were. Stupid idea, all he did was agitate his shoulder and make it bleed more. Focusing back onto the soldiers in front of him he exhaled slowly, trying to calm down his racing heart and settle into some kind of rhythm for this fight.

Ki blasts should more than settle this, the creature didn't show any signs of being able to use energy. That aside its wings were in tatters, so long as he could keep far enough away Sana was sure he was safe. As things had been so far his plans were dented further when he watched Shu enter the fight against him, landing on the roof behind T'charrl. Of the Princes Shu was the least injured, and the one he feared more. That berserk form of his, that was a real danger if it came to pass. At least there were enough guards to keep Takeshi busy for a while yet, two on one was far from ideal, but better than three on one. "Not kill you, Shu, need alive. But doesn't mean can't hurt!" Sana gathered Ki into both of his claws, throwing two orbs that circled around one another, one heading for T'charrl and the other straight for Shu. While they flew along Sana made it a point to jump further away, doing his utmost to stay out of the alien's range.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi wasn't sure if they were going to be able to fight Sana, even with T'charrl being present. If he was stronger than the guards then they were going to have their hands full. Both he and Shu were injured, and the fact he felt sick to his stomach from using his sword didn't help either. Had he been paying attention to his friend he'd have seen how to properly disable someone by attacking the limbs, piercing instead of slashing. He had no idea what he was doing with this weapon and he knew it, Viral had been right. At the very least the burden he and his brother now had in taking down the enemy was diminished thanks to T'charrl's appearance, he was already carrying his own weight and then some. Unfortunately the trip to the city had not been a kind one to their friend, he'd barely begun fighting but looked worse than both Saiyans were. Dispatching one more and being knocked aside by another Takeshi was having a difficult time just staying upright, his wounds agitated by the constant moving about. His back felt damp and warm, and he could taste blood on his lips from the wound on his cheek, and the gash on his shoulder didn't help things either. Damn, this really sucked.

Sana had to act quickly to win this, he couldn't stay out of the battle any longer. The newest addition to the Princes' numbers was proving to be a big problem for his troops, they were being tossed about like rag dolls and dispatched with the least effort possible. To ensure they were victorious this alien had to be eliminated, here and now. Using what training he had received from the Saiyans, Sana gathered together a fair amount of Ki, firing it at T'charrl in a concentrated blast. The attack must have come as a surprise as the alien made no effort to evade, taking the blast directly and being enveloped in a thick cloud of smoke. As not to endanger his troops the Shaharian held his fire for the moment, waiting to see what had happened. The sight of T'charrl bursting from the smoke made Sana gasp loudly, shocked by how fierce this creature was. As T'charrl scaled the building he jumped across to another one, trying to gather more Ki to hit the Kaesstrian again. Before he could release it a Ki blast slammed into building he was on, kicking up stone and dust at him. Shielding his face from the blast Sana looked down angrily, spotting Takeshi aiming at him, firing another attack.

T'charrl was losing himself, this wasn't good. They couldn't afford to have him go berserk, it could endanger all of the civilians around here. Not only that but if their target should be killed then their whole mission was up in smoke. So they were going to have to fight both Sana and T'charrl then, both in different respects. The guards had all been incapacitated in some manner or another, with a few worse off because of his folly with his sword. Even a novice like him could do serious damage, he wasn't too sure how he felt about wielding such a weapon anymore. Looking down at the bloodied sword Takeshi swallowed uneasily, tearing his eyes away when he heard their friend chasing down Sana. Spotting the Shaharian he fired a Ki blast to distract him, and another to stop him from hitting their friend. Since T'charrl had their target moving for the moment Takeshi took the chance to go to Shu, groaning painfully as he walked over. "Shu... Hey... You okay?" he asked, smiling slightly as he reached a hand out, "Come on, we need to help T'charrl."

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Fending off so many people at once when he barely knew how to wield a blade was proving to be a hassle. Blocking was about all Takeshi found himself doing, his retaliations with the sword missing every single time. With his hands full he couldn't even see how Shu was faring right now, desperate to be done with this and get to his brother's side. Getting cut yet again on the back he had a brief moment of anger where he whipped around, swinging the sword out blindly and connecting with the upper chest of one Shaharian. Seeing the damage that the blade caused, how easily it had done so and the blood pooling, it made Takeshi feel ill. Ki was one thing, it burned and bruised people usually, attacks rarely pierced unless you made them to. Using a sword though, as he was finding, was far more lethal. Nowhere near in the state of mind to be okay with this he looked down at the edge of the weapon, paling slightly seeing the thick ooze of blood dripping off of it. He nearly dropped it then and there, instead having to raise the sword once more to deflect an attack. The force of this blow pushed his own sword down, the edge of his assailant's blade biting into his shoulder slightly and drawing blood. Straining to hold back the weapon he placed a hand on the guard's torso, creating Ki and blasting him away, sending him flying into a nearby building.

Damn it all, he'd done this to them. Takeshi's own arrogance had gotten them into this mess and he knew it. Finally having a moment to check on his brother his heart sank seeing Shu being pinned, unable to help still. Dodging a would-be impalement he swung out a fist, punching the Shaharian between the eyes and knocking him back. "Shu, hang on!" he shouted, trying to break through the ranks of the enemy. The situation took a turn for the strange then as a massive impact shook the area, a cloud of dust kicking up and putting a temporary halt to the fighting. Shielding his eyes with his arm Takeshi waited a moment before peering over, shocked at seeing T'charrl here. Their friend looked far worse for wear, being battered and torn from flying here most likely. In spite of any potential wounds T'charrl was more than ready to fight, tossing aside the group who'd attacked Shu like dolls. Breathing fair heavily right now he watched as guards began to advance on their friend, the strange appendages sprouting to counteract their attacks. Shu would have to be okay for now, they were dwindling the enemy's numbers and had to keep momentum on their side.

Turning back to the group of Shaharians before him the older boy bit his lower lip, trying to ignore the pain all over his body from the hits and cuts. And to think they weren't even fighting Sana yet, what a pain in the ass. In his free hand he gathered an orb of Ki, and in his sword hand he gripped the blade tightly, running at the guards. The first he encountered he sidestepped to avoid a slashing attack, jumping up and spinning himself around to deliver a harsh kick to the alien's head, knocking him out in one blow. A second one tried to use their claws and teeth, attempting to get a grip on the Prince and hold him for his fellow guards. Pushing himself to move as swiftly as possible Takeshi vanished from sight, reappearing only a second later above his attacker. Driving down the arm with Ki he slammed the orb into the alien's back, smashing his target into the ground before it exploded, burning the alien and creating a small crater. Still in mid air Takeshi couldn't do too much as he was slammed into by one of the Shaharians, barely stopping himself from tumbling to the ground as he landed on his feet. What were there left... 8 or so? They were doing it, they could beat these guys. Hopefully T'charrl wasn't too beaten up, because he and Shu must be getting tired by now.

It was hard to say whether or not Sana and his men were winning this battle. While the guards were certainly giving Shu and Takeshi a run for it the Princes were dispatching his men one by one, their numbers gradually dwindling. It wasn't without cost, both boys had taken some blows and were showing visible signs of growing weary. Should they manage to beat all of the others Sana was confident he could handle the weakened Saiyans himself. That sentiment faded rather quickly however at the appearance of a third fighter. It was like nothing he had ever seen before, not recognizing the species whatsoever. Was it... An insect? They ate insects, though none were even remotely close to this size. And those appendages, what in the hell were those? Sana watched in silent shock as the newcomer tossed aside a group of men as if they were nothing, proceeding to fend off a handful by himself. Damn it, this wasn't part of his plan. He needed to do something now to try and get this back into his favor. Eying T'charrl the Shaharian gathered a bit of his own Ki into his hands, aiming it down at the Kaesstrian before firing a volley of blasts, his men caught in the crossfire.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

"Just don't get cut!" There wasn't much else Takeshi could say really, that was all there was to it. He might have a bit of trouble, some of these Shaharians were surprisingly swift. Shu ought to be fine if he kept moving though, he was far more lithe than any of these jerks were. Blocking another swing of a knife he backpedaled a bit to put space between himself and the guards, making a wide slash with the sword to force them to back off. Fighting inside of this room was no good, it was much to small for them to move around in. They had to get out into the open, to the streets if at all possible. Figuring out what wall faced the roads below Takeshi raised a hand, blowing out most of the wall before shouting for Shu to get outside. Beyond the building he could hear the panicked cries of people around the place, probably rather uneasy about the fighting. So much for keeping this business under wraps, damn. Letting Shu go out first Takeshi moved to make a break for it as well, gasping painfully as a blade caught him in the face, making a nice cut along his right cheek. Angrily he swung around, extending a hand and sending a Ki blast into the chest of the offending alien, sending him soaring into and through the same hole he'd just made and out onto the street.

Okay, so there were about two dozen guards chasing them. That was the best estimate Takeshi could make, and seeing them pour out of the building he was pretty close. It would be fine if they were pushovers, but these guys could actually fight. And while their injuries weren't severe both he and Shu were bleeding now, and that was after only managing to knock three out. If they were going to get through this quickly they'd have to expend a lot of energy, something that the older boy was abashed he'd have to do. If he used his sword more efficiently they might be in better standing, but his shortcomings with a blade were becoming vividly clear in this battle. Coupled with the fact that he actually felt sick cutting into one of the Shaharians and he was hard pressed to continue. How was he supposed to fight with a sword and not kill someone anyways? "Shu, you okay?" Takeshi asked, glancing over at his brother's arm. Nothing could be done for that now, unfortunately, not in the thick of a battle. Soon as this business was over with they'd get back to the ship and see the younger boy patched up. Or maybe Servas and his people could do it, they owed them that much at least.

There wasn't any time for conversation, the guards were quick to mobilize again. Rather than the typical one on one battles they got these aliens moved as a cohesive unit, four or five advancing at once on each Saiyan. Gripping his sword firmly Takeshi dashed in to meet them, taking a swing at one and missing by a fair margin. Having to fall to the ground practically to avoid being cut he laid his palm flat on the concrete, lifting himself up and kicking out both legs in a spinning motion, catching two guards under the jaws and knocking them aside. Jumping back to his feet he tried something different, swinging at another with the hilt of his sword. The pommel of his weapon hit the Shaharian square in the jaw, an audible cracking noise signaling it had connected. In a fit of angry and pained hisses that one fell to the ground, clenching his jaw gingerly. Takeshi had barely acknowledged that attack when he felt a sharp pain on his back, another blade slicing horizontally and biting into his skin. Almost falling down as a result he swing his sword around, catching the guard nearly in the neck, creating a gash that made him fall to the ground almost instantly. Despite being in pain his eyes widened in shock, seeing the blood pooling on the ground as the alien shook from the pain. Damn this... Damn the sword, this was wrong.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

This was all very amusing, but Sana had no intention of fighting both Princes. Not just yet anyways, not while they were primed for battle. His guards could weaken them first, and once they finally reached him he would be more than prepared to do battle. Things were already going his way, Shu was frightened and Takeshi's infamous anger was making him behave rashly. Working this to his advantage would be a simple task, this battle was already decided as far as he was concerned. Seeing the elder of the two brothers fire another Ki blast the Shaharian dodged it handily, using the resulting hole as an escape route. "Hold them for short while! We win here we gain favor, king bestow gifts! Do not fail!" Sana commanded, scurrying out the hole and leaping up to the rooftop above. His guards ought to occupy them, for a short while anyways. Shame he couldn't get in touch with the Saiyans at the moment, his devices were back down below. No matter, this fight ought not take too long.

"I'm fine Shu, relax. One punch isn't going to do me in!" Sana sure hit hard though, damn, he'd literally been blindsided. Still... If they were careful they should be alright, even with the Shaharians' surprising strength. It did make him wonder if the whole race might be stronger than he'd given credit for. Strange that if they were willing to go head to head with him and Shu that they couldn't have beaten back some regular soldiers and one Elite. Eh, now wasn't the time to be thinking this over anyways, there were more pressing matters at hand. Having two guards advance on him Takeshi nimbly dodged a slicing attack, ducking under a flying kick as well. Grabbing hold of the second attacker he drove that alien through the wall, opening the room up to even more guards outside. Damn, there were a lot of them. "Shu, be careful, there's a lot of them!" he shouted, glaring at another as he was moved on. Another one he managed to block a punch, grabbing the alien's arm and hitting him back square in the jaw, knocking him away with the solid blow.

In a brief reprieve from the onslaught of guards Takeshi noticed their target had run off, scowling angrily at the realization. He couldn't have gotten too far, if they hurried up and finished here they could catch him. He almost wanted to send Shu after Sana, but worried how his brother might fare alone. If he went then Shu would be alone here too, and if they both went the guards would surely follow. First things first, they had to beat the subordinates, then chase down Sana. Dancing around a bit on his feet to avoid swinging claws Takeshi looked over at Shu surprised when he mentioned the sword, having forgotten about it for a moment. He probably shouldn't be using it at all, but considering they had weapons too he might as well. Pulling it out of the scabbard he gripped the weapon in both hands, taking quick swings at a few guards and forcing them back. "We can't fight in this room, but we've gotta deal with these guys first!" Takeshi replied, catching an enemy's blade with his own. Grunting from the effort he took a small step back, driving his knee into the Shaharians gut before slicing across the guy's back at an angle, feeling his stomach churn when he saw how easily he drew blood. Reaching a hand out he quickly blasted another hole in the wall, this one facing the road below. "Outside, quick! We'll fight in the open!"
