Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral had no idea what was dragging him away but he was disappearing fairly rapidly into the depths completely out of control. His arm had been snatched and as he flowed backwards through the water all he managed to do was stare at the fading light of the surface before his eyes slowly made their way back to the creature. So there was something in these waters, he wasn’t just assuming it, but what he hadn’t counted on was it seeing him as prey. Not having the focus to fight it off all he could do was try and slide his arm out of its jaws, pulling at it as he was dragged down. Managing to release the creature’s grip it quickly grabbed onto his leg in retaliation, determined not to let him get away. He was still feeling too disorientated to retaliate properly but he was able to get a good look at it, its dark nasty looking face with large eyes and teeth made it look like a giant salamander with massive glasses on. Finding it hard to justify any reason to not retaliate he soon threw his fist down at its nose when it wouldn’t let go of him, its jaws almost releasing his leg if only to try and snatch at his arm as his bleeding was the only thing driving it to attack.

Kai let out a groan, rolling his eyes. “Because you’re the one who made fun of them in the first place! If speaking your language doesn’t help then how do you expect me to teach you about the better things in life like manners?” Kabocha really didn’t have much when it came to an ability to learn, but maybe he would soon get it through his thick skull once he saw having manners only brought him good experiences. Maybe if he saw he could get the best quality food by using manners while exchanging the money he might change his attitude towards the woman slightly, but if not then Kai was just going to grab those coins off him and buy the food himself. “You didn’t need to hang around Takeshi if only for going on missions, you know. She probably saw you as the pity party”, he sighed, shaking his head, “You may had gotten one thing out of those girls, but they got more out of you than you could ever get in return”. Finding it hard to believe Kabocha would be able to win those girls back now he sighed lightly, his eyes only drifting slightly when he realised Kabocha was giving up the money again to him. “Hm? If you’re so sure. Don’t you think you should use the woman as practice for getting your way with money once again…”

Maybe playing hide and seek with T’charrl was a bad idea, or rather having him as a hider was a bad idea. If he was a seeker they could had kept an eye on him to make sure he was okay, but now he was somewhere in the unknown and they couldn’t seem to find him. He was worried that his friend had run into trouble like what he was avoiding or was having another nervous breakdown somewhere, but hopefully his friend wasn’t in any of that kind of trouble and was just slightly missing from sight just now. Feeling a little concerned at this point he looked around to try and find some hint that his friend was still out there, giving Takeshi a quick look again when he called out for T’charrl once more, this time through the scouter. As usual there was no word from him, his head tilting as if trying to pick up any possible noises that may be out there. “Is he saying anything? I don’t hear him calling…is only you who can hear if you call on scouter? How do these work?”

T’charrl knew he couldn’t stand his ground for much longer if things were going this far south this quickly, his immediate reaction being the urge to charge through him and hope that would disorientate him enough to allow his escape. He didn’t think he could keep still enough to use his camouflage effectively at this point when he was already on the edge of his nerves and would probably shake or breathe too much to keep hidden. Dropping down he tried to seek mercy, but just as quickly L’esta met his show of mercy with his blade pointing straight at him, his large eyes staring at the point. L’esta was trying to make his mother sound benevolent but he knew she would do more than that if she saw he wasn’t back to normal yet, even the journey he would have to take to get there would reveal him to everyone and ultimately cause everyone to fear him. He could hear Takeshi call out to him but he couldn't do anything about it, not while L'esta was staring him down with a blade and threatening him with action if he tried anything that showed hostility to his own people. Gasping when he was shouted at his fur stood on end, suddenly hissing and throwing his claws down. “Never will you or ANYONE trust a monster!!” Letting out a snarl he unsheathed his own hidden blade in his arm, trying to parry off L’esta’s weapon. If he couldn’t do anything with words to get him to leave then brute force was needed as much as he hated to come to that conclusion.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral didn’t know what happened or what was going to go on, all that he knew was he was under water with the back of his head pointing straight down to the floor in under the weight of his horns. So much had happened to spark up his nerves and send him raging pretty fast, but as he blankly stared into the upside-down dark depths he barely responded, looking as if he had simply grown tired of trying. There really was barely a point in getting up again if he was able to float around like this, not even a care in the world. Slowly moving his paw to his face as if only realising she had let go he stared at it. She had managed to cut him with those teeth of hers and while it didn’t hurt it still managed to bleed slightly. Feeling pretty lost in his mind he simply slowly rolled over under the water, moving so he could hopefully push himself out of the water; however, as he gave one last look into the lake he noticed a black figure move immediately for him, snatching him in its jaws by the arm and dragged him further into the lake with barely any retaliation from Viral himself.

Kai thought it would be funny to see Kabocha picking up the job of a cleaner or something equally as low as his attitude, especially when he completely deserved that kind of job after what he put people through. He really had no idea how to talk to normal people or think through any sort of plan for the future that might secure him happiness in the end of it all. His parents could easily cut off his money and that was how he treated it, but that didn’t bother him just now when he could get lots of food with all this money. “She’s a seller, not a trader. She sells food for money”, he sighed, finding it hard to believe that Kabocha thought she was someone who traded random goods for food, “She’s got to pay the bills too which might include supporting her weird alien kids. She can’t do any of that if she’s left trying to find someone who would trade shiny strange metal with her”. Kabocha was pretty stupid in that regards, seeing how he had no idea how money even worked. “It’s not the women who have thin skins…they can just see through you like a sheet of ice”, he sighed, shaking his head, “The girlfriends you had were after your money and you know that. You know I won’t believe you on that until you actually manage to woo a female again in front of me without jingling your money in their face like you’re offering them booze”.

Shu wasn’t really too bothered about finding Haku, especially when he was a meanie first and a person later. He was not someone who would so easily get lost anyway considering he had a scouter too and could easily just call out or navigate his way back to the ship. Feeling more concerned for his friend he looked around with a confused expression, feeling worried that his friend wasn’t actually going to come out after calling out to him like this. He wasn’t sure why his friend would want to keep hiding if their game was over, not unless he had fallen asleep somehow and was instead struggling to wake up again. That was highly doubtful, especially when T’charrl had only just got back to his home world and was probably still excited to get to walk around on it again. Looking around quickly he soon looked to Takeshi, bouncing on the branch, “Ooh! Maybe I should say it louder so you can’t pretend?” he questioned him before smiling, giving a giggle as he quickly jumped forward through the trees again. While it was funny to tease Takeshi they still had to try and gather everyone. Looking around he frowned when he spotted Haku, tilting his head at him before looking away again, trying to see if he could see any traces of T’charrl. Maybe T’charrl was heavy on this planet too, maybe he left footprints; however, he did notice this planet made him feel so light all the time so maybe that wouldn’t be the case. Frowning a little he looked back to Takeshi. “But there’s so many smells! I’m not great at doing that when I’m hungry and in the forest”, he sighed, looking around at the trees, “Maybe Friend went back to ship because you took so long?”

T’charrl didn’t know how to make L’esta leave, unable to work out what he might be afraid of to get him to go away and retreat. There was very little he could do when it came to a man like him and it definitely showed off his rank and why he had it, but being unable to decide whether he was supposed to retreat made him question whether that was the right call for him. He was too confident that he could stand up to him and that made T’charrl scared, knowing he could easily get killed because he couldn’t attack his family’s friend. Trying to scare him off through stature alone did not help at all, instead it caused him to pull out his weapon and hold it ready. Feeling compelled to try and get him to leave he kept his stance, hissing at him in a threatening manner. “I’m not going to hurt anyone…is that how you treat the unknown??” Trying to keep up the threatening stance there must’ve been something he said because L’esta moved forward, his eyes going to his foot quickly, holding his breath for a moment. Through a slip of the tongue he accidentally used his own knowledge of L’esta, something that was very easy to do when he was so flustered. Looking to the side quickly he took a step back, dropping down onto fours again and hissing, raising his claws. “I can’t go to the Queen…and you won’t ever understand why! Do you know what she would do to me?? Begone! Leave me alone! Take your weapon and go! I am not your enemy!!”

Viral wasn’t enjoying this at all, his personal space completely invaded and making him incredibly uncomfortable. Wanting her to leave he pushed down by her head, trying to pry her off but quickly had that backfire as Yumi instead decided to move her head and bite down on his paw instead. Letting out a sudden yelp that quickly turned into a snarl, his pupils sharpening as he immediately threw his other paw around and tried to force her off with a forceful palm down at her chest, throwing his other paw around to try and get her to let go. He was incredibly frustrated and pretty angry, losing self-control very quickly as he was soon flailing around in an angry bout of rage. With increased frustration he very quickly lost focus, trying to throw her off before he simply lost his footing and fell backwards into the water.

“You won’t be saying that when they tell you they’ve ran out of money and you have to go and make it yourself, which will probably happen”, Kai shrugged, seeing it as no big deal, “Imagine you getting a job…hm, not heard that one before. Sounds like the impossible for you, though”. He really didn’t see Kabocha being able to do any jobs when he just sucked off his parent’s savings, but if their savings became useless then he would need to find some way to buy what he wanted rather than go back to their old way and steal everything they came across. It didn’t help that Kabocha was absolutely awful with people and that was of course a massive factor, proving he couldn’t even talk to a female not all that long ago all by himself. “You were being an ass. You expected her to bow to you and do everything you told her to without asking for other options. It was unlikely she was ever going to take something unknown and hope it was worth loads, you know. You’re smarter than that, right…” It would be hard to believe it if Kabocha was able to find a girl who wasn’t just there for the money, but of course that was never going to happen unless Kabocha changed his ways. “I was polite to that woman, I was also polite to that teller. Choi is a polite moron when it comes to women and you get nothing because you’re an ass. Don’t you see the pattern here? That you’re not all that you’re cracked up to be and possibly need to not be such a Takeshi when it comes to women?”

Shu did wonder what they might have for lunch, curious to whether they would try and find something or head off to the ship to find something. T’charrl hadn’t changed back yet and if he did then he would’ve announced it to both of them through the scouter or something like that, but of course all that meant was they wouldn’t be able to go and see his mother and possibly get a nice meal from her instead. He didn’t mind either way, he was happy with food from whatever source so long as it didn’t taste strange or really spicy like last time. Looking around he couldn’t spot his friend at all, feeling curious to where he might be and whether T’charrl wasn’t kidding when he said his camouflage was great. “Ooh! I know food is important! But this means the game is finished? Ooh, no fun”, he squeaked, giving his head a quick scratch before he bounced along some more, holding onto the trees pretty well, “Umm, I was first away so I didn’t see. They may not be that far! I didn’t go far, you passed me loads of times! You were silly looking all confused and funny. Silly you”.

T’charrl thought he was best trying to scare off L’esta, hoping maybe seeing what he looked like to be the contributor in his scare tactic. This guy could probably end his life if he wanted to, he knew that, but showing he didn’t want him anywhere near him could possibly show he was more scared than wanting to fight. Throwing his fists down was a fearful reaction to show he meant business, but seeing L’esta grab hold of his sword again made him feel worried again that he might lash out and simply behead him. Hissing as he pulled back, dragging his claws through the dirt before standing at full height, managing to find it difficult to balance when he wasn’t using his secondary claws as feet too. “I’m not going to go anywhere near people, nor are you taking me anywhere!” he hissed, backing off a little bit, “Go away…leave me! Go back to your scouts or I-I’ll…do worse!”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral wasn’t going to give her a chance to retaliate by playing around with her even if that was her aim, he still didn't feel like playing around at this time. He was going to be pretty brutal with her if she wanted to play around, especially when there was a lot of worry riding on whether there was something in these waters they didn’t know about. Swimming right at her he made a leap right at her, managing to tackle her successfully with little effort. Grabbing hold of her he managed to force her under the water, pulling back when he was able to get his feet back on the lakebed he gasped when Yumi instead decided to clamber up on him, almost losing balance at the sudden weight he waved his arms to try and get balance again. “Hey! What are you-!” He didn’t know what was going on but it was making him very uncomfortable, staring at her in annoyance when she finally settled only for him to growl when she decided to paw at his face instead. “Get off me already!” he growled, moving his own paw up and pushing at her face in return to get her to let go.

It didn’t matter who owned the money, Kai still managed to get Kaesstrian money and managed to secure their ability to get proper food without hunting. If Kabocha thought he was taking all the glory just because it was his money he had another thing coming. “That coinage isn’t yours; it’s your parents”, he muttered, shaking his head, “And you’re not rubbing anything in anyone’s face! You were an ass to her when she was trying to be helpful”. Maybe he should do the talking to the woman and not let Kabocha speak, hopefully that will make everything better too. Getting the food was their top priority and they were hopefully going to get a lot, but where they were going to take it to eat was something they hadn’t really thought through yet. Maybe there would be somewhere to sit to eat and if not they could probably take it away with them pretty easily. “You know, maybe you’d have a mate if you were more polite to women”.

Shu probably had less of a clue to what he was supposed to do now since he was found by Takeshi, or at least made Takeshi think he had been found by him. It was most likely that he was supposed to just hang around with Takeshi until they found the others, probably not telling him if he saw someone; however, with that wonderment it sounded as if Takeshi was completely giving up on finding the others, wherever they may be. “Ooh! Lunch break? You never found the others, though”, he squeaked, finding it a little silly that Takeshi had given up that quickly; however, Shu was still happy to have lunch now and hopefully the others would eventually show themselves, “Friend T’charrl! Where you be? Friend!” He didn’t know how they would find T’charrl other than him responding to their calls, but the brief moment of silence made him wonder where his friend actually was, bouncing along the trees as he tried to have a good look around for him. “Ooh! Friend where Friend?”

T’charrl did want to try and flee again but it was most likely that L’esta would persue him and see him as a potential danger to the area and the local population. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do about this and was indeed scared of telling L’esta who he was, but when he noticed L’esta get ready to take his blade he was certainly beginning to feel scared that things will go south very fast. Hissing gently he tried to gently move away, hoping he might be able to find a way around this. “No one…no one! Leave me!” Suddenly throwing down his fists he snarled and reared up out of his camouflage, trying to scare L’esta now that he was out of options. He didn’t want this to happen but with the others nowhere in sight he had no cover and was essentially cornered, only hoping L’esta would flee before anything bad happened”.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral didn’t think Yumi knew how good he was at swimming despite what he was, but it wasn’t as if he was going to show off either. Taking a very simple route through the dark murky water he travelled around Yumi and down, keeping his eyes on her and taking note of where she was moving. If she was wanting to play this game then he was going to make it hard for her to catch him out, especially when he was not someone you’d expect to need to take a breath. His genetics and abilities gave him an ability to last under the water for a pretty long time, but how long he had never tested. Playing the predator in the water was probably a pretty bad idea, but it was Yumi’s idea and he wasn’t going to disappoint her. Moving into the murky depths he also looked to the deeper and darker beyond, just making sure nothing was going to sneak up on him and try to eat him instead. It certainly seemed like Yumi had no idea where he was, her movements telling him she was fairly clueless to where he was. She was anxious, he could tell that much from her movements. Slowly moving closer to her he kept his eyes on her, watching calmly before suddenly racing straight up, powering through the water and trying to tackle her from behind.

Kai wouldn’t mind buying a home here even if it meant having to live with a bunch of aliens for the rest of his life, but maybe Choi would follow along too since they were twins which would be pretty nice. Having that much money definitely made him feel pretty powerful, but it wasn’t as if he was going to show how excited he was over hearing that much. Grinning a little he took the money, holding it as if it weighed a ton before Kabocha inadvertently snatched it right off him, immediately turning to face him with a frown. Great, what a pain Kabocha was, stealing all that glory away from him. Letting out a sigh he looked back to the teller, giving a quick wave. “Thanks. Great doing business with you”, he spoke, heading away before sighing, his eyes going to Kabocha, “Alright, Mr Greed. We’re going back to that stall now and getting all that delicious food. Okay? She had a lot to offer and she’s waiting for us”.

Shu could barely contain his excitement as he leaped right at Takeshi, grabbing onto him when he collided. When it came down to it he definitely won, having to give Takeshi a hint or two to where he was before he could find him meaning he let Takeshi cheat. If he never did start throwing stones at him then Takeshi would still be raging on the spot, shouting and bawling about not being able to find anyone. Smiling away at Takeshi he stared at him, keeping a good grip on him before looking around. “Ooh! You not good at flying? You silly!” he spoke up, looking to a tree before jumping straight off Takeshi, grappling onto the tree with ease, “We find now? We look now? Do I look now? I don’t know, you still it!”

T’charrl was rather ashamed with the way he looked and definitely was not ready to show it off, but L’esta hanging around meant he was eventually going to be found and possibly seen as a hostile because he wasn’t giving up. Holding his claws up at his face he kept his gaze low, feeling pretty worried he was still going to get attacked over the way he looked. L’esta wasn’t pointing his blade at him this time, that was pretty good but it still didn’t manage to make him feel relaxed. Feeling fairly nervous he gasped when he was questioned, feeling unsure about whether he was supposed to answer that. He couldn’t reveal who he was, not to L’esta and definitely not when he looked like this. Hissing fearfully he moved back a little, rising up slightly. “Get away from me! Was never sneaking after you…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral was simply trying to amuse Yumi by splashing her like that, not really getting the concept himself. There was a lot that Yumi did that he didn’t understand but was willing enough to try and amuse her until she left him alone. She probably wouldn’t leave him alone, she wanted to watch him constantly and make sure he was going to be okay. Splashing her back he soon gave his head a quick wipe down, frowning at what she had to say before he was splashed. Grunting he gave her a long stare, not exactly all that happy right now. “Do you even think clearly when you speak?” She certainly had a strange idea over what he might be bothering him but if she wanted to think that way then he wasn’t going to question her, especially when he clearly showed water didn’t bother him. Watching her as she gradually made her way further into the lake by deciding to take a dive herself, watching her swim along before popping out elsewhere. He didn’t know why she was being so daring with the water despite the dangers, but then again she did have Ki and was probably going to use it anyway to defend herself. Staring at her as she made her playful threat after emerging he soon sighed, narrowing his gaze before lowering himself under the water, disappearing below the surface. Almost immediately Viral swam away from his spot rather silently and fast, keeping to the darkness so that she wouldn’t spot him. If she wanted to play like that then he wasn’t going to make it easy for her.

Kai was pretty sure they could get a good bit of coinage from that pile of money, seeing how they’d never seen anything like it before most likely. If they could get enough for a good time then he was going to do that, even if the money wasn’t his. Looking back to Kabocha and Choi when the woman disappeared he soon looked back forward again, tapping his fingers on the desk calmly. He wasn’t sure what she wanted to give him but it was certain that he was going to get a good amount of money from it. Finally once she returned he gave her a smile back, listening to what she had closely before his eyes moved to Kabocha at the mere mention of how much they were going to get. Being close to being able to buy a home on this planet for all that money certainly made him feel pretty proud that he was going to be able to get that much off her while Kabocha couldn’t even exchange it for food. Looking back to her he gave a nod, knocking his fingers on the counter. “That’ll be grand. We’ll be spending some time on this planet and will be happy to partake in your economy while we’re here”.

T’charrl didn’t know how L’esta would take knowing their Prince was a fat monster, he didn’t even know how the scouts would take it if they knew it was him. This was pretty terrifying; he felt completely cornered and didn’t know what to do about it. Taking the only option to hide he immediately ducked down and blended in with the environment, using his camouflage to the full effect because of his fear. Not wanting to be caught out he heard L’esta being pretty close to him but thankfully didn’t know where he was, even if he was right close. He was going to get stabbed and he knew it feeling that he was going to end up having to fight him off to prevent him from getting stabbed. L’esta was a competent soldier, he could trust him with a number of things but attacking him because of how he looked or calling for reinforcements wasn’t beyond his capabilities. Keeping low, hearing the sheathing of the blade certainly made him feel slightly curious to what he was up to, hearing him call out again. He really didn’t know whether he could trust him but if he started stabbing randomly then he was going to be in trouble, there was also the issue of his nerves causing his own condition to play up. He really wasn’t confident in this and if things went wrong then that was it for him. Hesitating for a good few moments he remained pretty tense, trying to decide on what he was supposed to do before eventually deciding to move slightly, moving his head up a bit before raising a set of claws to shield his face.

Shu didn’t want to be sitting still at a time like this and was certainly pretty ready to pounce at Takeshi if he wasn’t going to compromise on his play. Bouncing on the branches he stared at Takeshi, trying to anticipate his answer while doing his best to calm down somewhat. “What? What? No no! You took soooo long and you were soooo slow”, he giggled, shaking the branch, “You so silly!” Smiling away at Takeshi he watched him curiously, his tail waving around all excitably before seeing him waving him over, giving him a big smile before he jumped at Takeshi. “Yay food! Where be others? Where be??”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral wasn’t very sure about what he was supposed to be doing with this idea of getting in the water, feeling fairly conflicted over her idea of fun. There really wasn’t that much for him to go in the water other than try and catch those creatures but it didn’t appear as if Yumi was planning on going deeper into the water either way. She didn’t look like she terribly enjoyed the water so he was definitely feeling a little confused, but he wasn’t going to force her under if she didn’t actually want to go in any further. Staring at her awaiting her answer he was certainly left confused to what he was doing in the water with her. Frowning when she just gave him a cryptic answer he looked back to the centre of the lake, sighing a bit before ending up grunting when she decided to splash at him, raising his arm to shield his face when he turned to her, feeling confused. He was sure he had been in this situation before but wasn’t particularly interested in trying to remember. Giving her a sharp look he soon swung his arm around, throwing water right back at her to beat off her assault.

Kai wasn’t going to let the Kaesstrian short-change him if he could help it, feeling pretty determined to show these two he could get them a good deal and not end up coming out of here with the same coins they had before. Luckily for him the Kaesstrian was paying enough attention to him to understand he wanted to trade in off-world stuff and not something he was trying to pretend was off-worldly. Holding the bag out for the Kaesstrian to take he watched her carefully as she examined one, giving her a confident look that told her he knew what he was talking about. “The coins are of the largest denomination. On our world, the paler the colour the less they’re worth. Not very many Saiyans have these coins to call their own, but when travelling we came well prepared. What can you give us for this?”

T’charrl knew this was a bad idea, he knew L’esta was one of their best especially considering his rank so there was no way he could lose him. He had to try and find somewhere to go instead, try and hide from him and hopefully lose him. He didn’t know how this might turn out or whether he’d get his mother if he found out who he was, feeling fearful when he was so grotesque looking compared to other Kaesstrians. He probably had scouts out too and running into them was going to give him a worryingly high chance of getting attacked by them. Trying to take the evasive route he tried hard to lose him by searching for a hiding place and moving erratically, eventually trying to settle for hiding when he turned a corner and immediately went still, trying to imitate some shrubs instead.

Shu was going to have fun whether Takeshi wanted to or not, especially when he was in the mindset for playing. He didn’t want to end up getting caught by him so he was going to run. Bouncing around the branches he continued to keep away from Takeshi, giggling away as he swung around. “Why you no find me first? Why you need rocks to find me? You silly!” Keeping away from Takeshi he swung around branches in quick swings, grabbing onto them with his tail and swinging around and onto a larger branch before turning back around to Takeshi, bouncing on the spot when he noticed Takeshi instead decided to hang around and watch him instead. “Ooh! Why no chase? Why no chase? Not found me! I found you!” he announced, bouncing on the spot still, “I helped you find me because I find you!”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

“You were the one who wanted to go hunting…” Viral sighed, finding her excuses for stopping to be a little lazy. He was the only one who needed to rest for now and it was Yumi who wanted to hunt with the whole point on coming to the lake to use it as a main point of interest to come back to. If she wanted to do what she was doing before then she could, just he wasn’t up to doing it in his current state. Finding the threat of the lake to be near to nothing he simply continued to stare at it tiredly, giving Yumi a quick look before he sighed, rubbing his forehead. “I don’t want to eat no monster…” he mumbled, feeling pretty annoyed already, “The guy’s a bug and probably knows to keep away from water so why would any of his kind go near water to find out?” If there was a lake monster then he wouldn’t want to eat it; he didn’t know if it would be one of the only ones or an important addition to the ecosystem here, especially when they were hunting with that sort of awareness above everything else. He wanted to see what was going to be living in such a lake before assuming there was some monster though, but with little desire to do that himself just now it was Yumi who was the first to initiate the venture into the lake. Watching her he soon let out a sigh, frowning when she decided to invite him in as well. Looking to her boots he simply pulled off his scarf, taking off his own boots and placing the scarf underneath them. He didn’t wear any socks when he had sharp toenails, but even considering that he only seemed to want to take his boots off to hold down his scarf and prevent it from blowing away; otherwise, Viral simply stood up and walked a little bit into the lake, going all the way to up to his waist before he ducked down under the surface, deciding to take a look around and see what was living beneath the surface. The water was pretty dark but he definitely saw life, even if it was strange looking aquatic creatures that fled from sight when they spotted him. Frowning, Viral eventually surfaced again and wiped down his hair, looking back to Yumi. “What purpose do you have of me in this water again…”

Kai really didn’t have the patience for the pair of them to be fighting like children so he was quite happy to see the bank, or at least what he assumed to be the bank judging by its appearance. Depending on how much they could get out of this money they should be able to get a reasonably good meal. With Kabocha complaining in the back he let out a sigh, feeling fairly annoyed. “Then think of it as a souvenir or something! It’s not that big a deal”, he spoke quickly before he shook his head, “Maybe it’ll be seen as something special if we try to exchange it back and get more for it on another planet…” Entering the building it was definitely full of Kaesstrians all doing business, a lot of them in one corner all talking to each other as they exchanged their goods. It certainly didn’t appear to be a traditional bank dealing in only money, especially when there was one dark coloured Kaesstrian at a booth exchanging furs and feathers for cash. Frowning a little he looked around, seeing if there was any space to exchange the money, his eyes spotting one that just became available to which he was quick to head over to it. Just like a lot of the citizens here it was a brightly coloured Kaesstrian wearing fairly smart clothes, silk definitely being the operable choice for these people. “Excuse me, can you help us?” Kai asked up as he lifted the bag onto the counter, not feeling overly confident to question their gender when they weren’t standing for him to know what it was, “We have some off-world coins here and we were wanting to know how much they’re worth on your marketplace. We need money for exchanging goods on your planet”.

T’charrl was in a bit of a panic, especially when this person had a weapon and was threatening him with his life. He didn’t want them to see him but they were fair set on doing just that, hearing them flying after him now. He had to try and figure out a way around this, his desperation to escape causing him to run erratically in an attempt to escape. Some time out this was turning out to be. Looking around when he heard them call out, letting out a gasp when he heard who it was and where they were, scratching to a halt fairly quickly. That’s who the voice was, he should’ve known; however, even then he didn’t want him finding out it was him. He was a monster to the normal people and it wasn’t as if L’esta had seen what he was like before; only his mother did, but even then it was just his father and family friend who had seen him before too. Panicking, T’charrl made a quick turn, raising his claws up momentarily to hide his face before he dashed away again, trying to find a hole big enough to burrow and hide in. He couldn’t face L’esta like this, not when he was anything other than Kaesstrian-like.

Shu knew how to play and even though Takeshi was slow to pick up on it he was still ready to race around and try to keep away from him, bouncing away to maybe try and hide again. He hadn’t actually caught him, he showed Takeshi where he was hiding by throwing the stones. Squeaking away as he attempted to flee he started to run around in the same area, hoping from tree to tree in an almost circle. “Nooo not my hair! I like my hair!” he squealed, feeling all sorts of giddy, “You must catch me! You no can’t! No catch!” He certainly did manage to find a thrill in being chased around like this, even when he knew it wasn’t a threat that was chasing him. He didn’t want to be caught so easily so he was definitely giving Takeshi a run for his money.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Nothing was stopping Yumi from trying to find some food if she wanted to do that, just he didn’t want to right now. Food wasn’t a top concern for Viral and it was going to end up being a chore for him to try and hunt when he had no desire to eat. He was probably being selfish, but every desire he had to hunt had only been resting on Yumi’s enthusiasm. He just needed a moment to think to himself, his mind feeling all over the place with all of this going on. He might never see scenery like this again and wanted to savour it, even if he wasn’t too fussed about visual appeal when it came to the environment. He was just feeling so jaded and needed a moment to recover. He was not sure where his existence was going and was certain he was not going to survive very long, but of course everyone else was confident that this was just a phase in his illness. Maybe he should try the water and attempt to refresh himself, so long as it was safe. Staring out at it the water as it gently moved in the breeze his eyes shifted to Yumi a little, frowning as he looked away again. “You need food. If you want to get food then hunt. I’ve shown you the basics”. Once he got back to the ship he should probably take his medicine. The stress was getting a little too much for him to handle at the moment and he was getting a headache again as a result, but hopefully he could last a little bit longer without it. “There’s probably not many lakes like this on this planet. It’s probably got some monster lurking in it or whatever…”

“I know, I know. I still don’t want to be part of the casualty count”, Kai spoke up, giving Kabocha a sharp look when he was shoved a bit. His worries were completely valid, especially when he was well aware of what actual war was like; his main problem was he was on the weakest side. He didn’t think the rebels were going to lose, just that they probably weren’t going to be the winners either. Maybe if he fought against an Elite and won he’d feel a lot better about this, but for now he was going to be pretty worried all the time over his future. “’Fighting to survive’ is easily a call for pessimism, you know”. Hearing Choi and Kabocha argue over something juvenile was just a bit much for Kai, feeling that he was just in the middle of a conversation you’d watch on a comedy show above anything. Letting out a fairly audible sigh he looked down the street, eventually stopping when he spotted something. Finally they were at the bank by the looks of it, the building looking distinctively like a bank judging by the images in the window and the number of Kaesstrians using it. “Would you two shut up? We’re here already here”, he sighed, wandering over to the bank.

“Well then you’d know how I might feel if I wanted to do that with her! Besides, I respect her! I respect her need for space and that is why I respect her wanting to take a break”. Choi was about ready to give Kabocha a good shove by the time Kai spoke up, directing them towards the bank. They would have to put their little tussle on hold for now, but it wasn’t as if he should care about what Kabocha thought about their relationship. It was obvious that Yumi was the strongest in their relationship and it was her opinion that mattered the most, especially when she was the one who wanted to go out with him in the first place. Strength, endurance and terrifying qualities aside they were needing to get this money exchanged, maybe even fly back to the stall and get the food if they got loads of cash out of what Kabocha had. “Heh! Imagine trying to exchange the rest of the Kaesstrian money if you have some left after all this…that’d be impossible”.

T’charrl was in a lot of trouble, knowing he was close to getting caught out by another Kaesstrian that might just try to kill him. He looked like a monster to the rest of his kind and that was the most troubling aspect. It didn’t matter who he was, they were going to kill him if they saw what he was. Feeling pretty desperate he heard the voice call out to him again, threatening him with death if he didn’t show himself. This was not good, it was especially worrying when he definitely recognised the voice but couldn’t place it with a face. His memory must be terrible if he couldn’t even do that, but either way he was in trouble if he was to just sit here and contemplate his life. Quickly looking back he tried to find where the voice was coming from before he suddenly made a run for it, trying to keep as low as possible for someone of his size.

Shu was having a great time with this, finding this kind of teasing to be of great fun. Takeshi was so easily angered and over rocks of all things, but at least it was giving him a chance. Stopping himself from giggling he covered his mouth with his hands he soon tried to take another stone upon seeing his reaction, digging around for one before he let out a sudden squeak upon hearing another voice up above him. Raising his hands quickly he stared up at Takeshi, looking awfully frightened at first before giggling, jumping straight out of his hiding spot, trying to get up into the trees as fast as possible. “Can’t catch me! You no find me first!”
