Having Yumi carry his larger frame definitely made Viral a little nervous, expressing definite hope that he won’t end up falling because there was a sudden gust of wind or something. The ship really wasn’t that far and usually when he got a nose bleed it was because of an unusual amount of stress with his condition so possibly falling didn’t exactly help his situation. He didn’t want to have to worry about something as trivial as that, but it was probably going to happen even if he did try to not care. Staring down at the land below he soon gave Yumi a slight glance, narrowing his gaze and grumbling. “You say that, even when I had faith before…” he muttered, briefly pausing before letting out a groan, “You know what, I’d rather not talk about that while you’re carrying me. It already hurts all over, I don’t need even more pain by slamming into the trees”. There was definitely the issue where it was Yumi biting him that lured the creature out, but he also had other concerns when it came to trust and whether she remembered. “You remembered my scarf and boots, right?” Choi’s attention was soon taken back to the group, giving a snicker and bumping Kai’s arm with his elbow. Glancing over at Choi, Kai knew what he was having a giggle at but he wasn’t going to say it out loud, giving Vegeta a look instead. Choi found it ironic that Vegeta would ever say such a thing about people who want money, especially when he had all the money he wanted with that company thing he had. It was the same with Kabocha. Neither of them would ever know what it was like to be poor and yet they were fairly ready to dismiss the fact that they were rich on this planet and that it should be considered a big deal. It was pretty selfish of the pair of them to think money and how you react to it counted for how intelligent a person’s decisions would be all of the time. It was not known to them how much someone had to rely on money to get by and if they didn’t have any then they were going to have an incredibly difficult time supporting themselves in a society like this. Not everybody had the ability to fend for themselves but the only way they will ever realise this was if they had no money to use. Despite what Kabocha may think about the food, Kai and Choi were both enjoying it, especially Choi who was fair wolfing his down. Both of them were always happy when they didn’t have to cook and placing the strain off having to do such a thing meant they were enjoying their meal more. T’charrl didn’t want to get up right now, his body not able to pick itself up and try to recover. His mind was still trying to pull itself together, recovery was always hard after he changed unwillingly due to his sudden mental shifts. He really saw no use in this condition of his so far other than being a complete pain for others to deal with. There was nothing he had done so far that could be said to be beneficial to anyone when he changed like that so it was certainly doing a good job at making him feel depressed about it. He had forgotten what it was like to be normal at this point, just like he had forgotten what he looks like behind this disaster of a body. Feeling confused over Takeshi’s desire to check his wound was one for good reason, especially considering his own fears towards certain aspects of him. Frowning when he got all defensive over the subject he continued to look in his direction. “New things? You’ve been around me for weeks…” Takeshi certainly knew how to cause as much stress to one person as he possibly could just by talking. T’charrl certainly wasn’t sure whether it was a good idea for Takeshi to look at him but he couldn’t stop him from having a look anyway. Frowning, T’charrl gave a little sigh when he got the verdict. He was certainly close to being properly chopped up by L’esta, but Takeshi still managed to confuse him. “Scabs…? Is that a parasite…?” he questioned him, moving his claws under his chest, “It hurts a lot because it’s thin and long, and because I changed. I-I need a moment…”

Viral could had gone on all day without this hassle, but that was going to be impossible for him no matter what. He wasn’t sure whether he would ever catch a break at this point and was simply waiting for everything to get better now through medical means. He hated having to rely on something other than his own abilities to get through the day and today was definitely one of those times where everything could go wrong. He really didn’t want to have to be carried by Yumi nor did he want to be taken out of this environment, but he was going to have to if he was going to make Yumi happy and give her something else to change into while he was getting checked up on. Frowning when she decided to approach him he was somewhat dreading being taken into the air by her, not exactly expecting her to end up carrying him like a damsel. Grunting when he was lifted off the ground he looked down to the ground as if regretting his decision to let her carry him, letting out a groan. “Just-…just don’t drop me, okay?” he grunted, his eyes remaining fairly fixed on the ground before she decided to take off, going pretty fast once she was able to. He really wasn’t used to this flying thing and really hated to not be in control at all, already finding it pretty difficult to not panic about her possibly dropping him accidentally. The other people here seemed to be fairly okay with their sudden drop in, a glance only being made because they were not Kaesstrians. It wouldn’t be such a big deal to move if they had to, they had containers keeping their food together so it was fine if they had to go somewhere else. Opening his container, Kai gave a glance over at Choi who was still staring out over the city, looking more like he was stuck in a little plan that involved taking a building and calling it home. It was a little silly to think that big when they were hardly anywhere near rich enough to even think about settling anywhere on an alien world. Going to eat the strange food that looked like some weird fruit dish he soon stopped when Vegeta asked a fairly honest question, raising his eyebrows momentarily. “Oh, I exchanged it”, he said calmly, giving a nod, “They really seemed to love the currency because they had no clue what it was. Told them it was Saiyan currency and they went and gave us what’s practically a mountain of cash to these people. Maybe you should exchange that weird Earth money of yours and see what you get…” T’charrl felt pretty exhausted just from changing back, finding the whole ordeal to be too much for him on top of how much stress he went through to get to that point. The hardest part was always going to be changing back and forth against his will if this was going to be a continuous thing that happened despite thinking he had gained self-control. Looking fairly out of it he stared into nothingness for a few moments, his eyes slowly looking up to Takeshi when he gave his shoulder a brief pat. The Prince was slowly coming into view, his noodly Saiyan form gradually not looking so squiggly anymore in time. Maybe it was the shock from the wound that was making it particularly hard to focus again, especially when any wound like that was going to hurt an awful lot and bleed just as much as any small wound. Hearing Takeshi’s suggestion made him feel not too sure about him having a look, especially when he remembered what Takeshi acted like around him even in his dazed condition. “You…hate my hair…”

Viral didn’t feel very good and it wasn’t just because his limbs had been pulled apart and his head rattled around, not even the nose bleed was the source. He just felt pretty terrible and confused to what was bothering him, but he certainly did hope he was going to be able to shake it off eventually. It was a horrible state of confusion to be stuck in, his mind all over the place. Holding his nose against the shirt he stared out with a fairly blank stare, not all that happy with his predicament. It was his own fault for losing sense of reality. “That means you carrying me…” he mumbled, feeling pretty miserable, “What happens to me physically shouldn’t make my condition worse. I just…don’t need to be worried over…”Everything that was going to happen to him was going to be terrible so he didn’t know what there was to worry over. No matter how fast Vegeta worked he would still have to wait for the medicine to be produced, if anything would be successfully produced in the end. He didn’t have doubts over Vegeta’s ability to create, but rather that his genes would even accept the medicine and begin repairs. Frowning at her suggestion to walk he looked down at his legs; he definitely didn’t feel capable of it at all but didn’t want to admit it. “…Fine. We’ll fly…if you think you can carry me…” Once they got their food they could explore around, maybe even go around with Vegeta and his studying of the Kaesstrians and their advancements. Kai didn’t mind doing that, Choi was always super interested in other races too; however, whether Kabocha wanted to was going to be the biggest question, especially when he practically bought them lunch. Flying off with Vegeta in the lead both Kai and Choi kept their food well-balanced in flight, looking back every so often to make sure they weren’t dropping anything; however, Choi definitely seemed to be more interested in the Kaesstrians and what was going on around him. He loved alien worlds and was always interested in studying them, probably finding the plan that Vegeta had for himself to be a lot more desirable than hanging out with Kabocha and his brother. Eventually, looking down at the buildings would have to wait as they were going into land now, finally getting some food. This place was definitely one of the richer areas they could’ve picked courtesy of Vegeta. Following after Kabocha, Choi and Kai sat down, unpacking their food and handing the containers out. This was going to be great, especially when this was a pretty decent spot to have some great food. T’charrl was trying hard to keep it together and find himself, understanding Takeshi and being able to talk being the starting point. As L’esta flew off he didn’t manage to notice but he was becoming calmer without that knowledge as if he noticed subconsciously. Hissing with each breath he struggled to pull his mind together, staring at Takeshi as he continued to try to help him pull his mind together. Takeshi was making a lot of sense to him the more he was able to think about it, his mind was gradually finding sense in it all, hissing as he tried to push himself up. “Don’t…call me…a Prince!” he hissed before falling to the ground again, not finding it easy to move at all. He was nothing like a Prince was supposed to be, his large form being proof of how disgusting and unlike a Prince he was. However someone could call a creature like him a Prince was completely unknown to him. T’charrl was calming down luckily as his movements became less, his struggles to leave not becoming a concern anymore and eventually he was soon able to change back if rather uncomfortably. The wound on his back was pretty sore and wasn’t the most comfortable experience to change back while wounded but thankfully he was able to find the energy to subdue his rage.

Viral was close to shouting at her for what she did, but raising a paw he simply ended up moving it to his head instead. He probably didn’t have the proper mind-set right now and would probably go off his head over it before collapsing and becoming even more useless. That creature was the type to use smell to hunt and obviously it smelled the blood she drew from his hand by biting him. She had no reason to bite him before or to clamber up on him over some little jump. He didn’t even know why she did it, especially when it was her desire to do that whole water thing. Not wanting to have blood pouring down his nose he gave it a quick wipe, grumbling under a sigh. “Just forget it…”Feeling a little lightheaded he tried to take his mind off the subject, deciding to keep to himself and let Yumi keep to herself too, especially when they should be more concerned with bathing in the sun and getting dried up. Keeping his head low his eyes were soon taken back to Yumi, instead ending up staring at her with concern and confusion to what she was doing. There was no need to strip like that in front of him, but soon enough he did take notice to why she was doing it. He must be really light-headed because he was missing a whole lot of points now. Taking the shirt and turning around again he held it to his face, his other paw giving his head a good scratch. “What…? And how am I supposed to get back right now, anyway?? I can’t fly! I can’t just travel there and back for ‘just a minute’…” Kabocha seemed a little moody with everything right now, maybe he’ll give him some of his food if he so desired. He didn’t know why he might be moody when he barely ever wanted to talk to anybody other than his own friends. Whatever, they had plenty of food so it wasn’t going to be an issue when trying to keep him content. If Vegeta could show them somewhere where they could chill out without being watched over all the time then everything should be fine. Vegeta should know some places since he’s probably been around, but looking at his expression he couldn’t help wonder if he was just going to get angry. Raising an eyebrow when it turned out he was just teasing him with that stern look he gave a quick glance around. “If you know anywhere because we have no idea where we’re going to go”, he spoke calmly before glancing back, “Anywhere where we can chill out and get a good view of this place. We’re completely lost here”. T’charrl always found it hard to come down from his angry rampages, knowing it would’ve been impossible without the help of his friends and family. He was destructive and out of control, but thankfully all that could be prevented so long as he had someone with him to bring him back to his senses. His only problem now was he was definitely finding it difficult to change back, especially when the source was right near him. He couldn’t see passed the fact that he made him angry despite it being L’esta, a good family friend and colleague, just that he had tried to kill him. Groaning as he reached the ground he hissed, closing his eyes for a second before looking to Takeshi. His words were a lot clearer this time, he could actually understand what he was saying again and not see him as something blocking his way like a giant invisible barrier. Tilting his head to the side as he lay forward he hissed through his teeth, finding it fairly difficult to think through everything that was going on in his head. “_…Y-Yesss…I…I can’t-…_” he mumbled before letting out a groan, still finding it hard to think straight. Shu thought it might be neat if this guy could help T’charrl find his form again, even if it might be like they once saw when he was unconscious. It was a very strange situation but maybe something he was familiar with from his home might be a good way to go. Watching the Captain carefully he got a little fright when he picked up the sword, only for that to disappear when he sheathed it instead. For a moment he thought he might try and attack his friend again, something that would definitely be a bad idea for both of them. Staring at him he soon gave a little nod, his eyes looking back to his friend T’charrl for a second before back to L’esta. “Ooh! Okay. We won’t move! But if we see you with others then we’ll move”, he said quickly, bouncing on his feet a little, “That would be very bad of you!” Watching as L’esta finally took off he jumped back a little almost in fright when he sped away, fixing up his hair really quickly if only by scruffing it up some more. “Ooohhh, what is painting…”

Viral’s arms were pretty sore and he had a pain in his leg, but other than that he would physically recover eventually. He didn’t need much in the way of recovery time, but hopefully he wasn’t going to be limping along all the way back to the ship. He had such a bad headache too, his need for his pills being pretty high but his desire to go back to the ship being near nil. Yumi could go if she wanted to but he didn’t; he preferred to be outside and away from the ship and have some freedom, at least for now. Yumi was not even sure what she had done by the sounds of it too, finding her lack of awareness to be completely frustrating. Grunting when he was finally sat down he continued to hold his head, feeling dizzy. “Doesn’t matter? That…whatever it was, wouldn’t had come out at all if you didn’t draw blood! Just…forget it…” It was certainly frustrating to have to be subjected to that kind of humiliation, but what made him feel even worse was he was instead mesmerised by the water and trying to keep his mind together so he wouldn’t lose it. Wiping at his face briefly he drew his paw away, frowning when he realised his nose was bleeding again. He didn’t need all these problems coming at the same time, but he was definitely being told that he should be going back to take his medicine. “What are you going to buy? Souvenirs? Weapons you can’t use? Clothes you can’t wear?” Kai questioned Kabocha, curious to what he meant by ‘shop around’. He shouldn’t need to be too concerned with what he might buy with his own money, but he was curious to what kind of things he might get if he got the chance while on their break. “You know, I don’t have a clue about the things you can get on this planet that isn’t food”. Taking enough food he did take notice of Vegeta, but something told him he already knew he was there; then again, that was probably because Choi was talking to him and him being sub-consciously aware of these things his brother observed was always pretty normal. Walking up to the pair he gave a glance at Kabocha he smirked a little when he was instead completely ignored, his attention soon being taken to Vegeta when a question was instead directed to him. Looking to Kabocha quickly he sighed, his attention going back to Vegeta. “Hmm well, we were wanting to find a place to feast on this food, maybe even see some sights you might know that’s not the giant tree when we’re done”, he spoke, glancing off in its direction, “Seen enough of that to know what it’s like, seeing how we were there when it popped up…” T’charrl was ready to try and leave if this was how things were going to be, but having L’esta to the side was definitely not helping a whole lot. His inner beast wanted to crush him for what he did, but his conscience told him no and now to weigh out that desire Takeshi was also trying to tell him no too. He felt fairly confused and disorientated to which direction he was supposed to go, becoming stuck between wanting to defend himself and wanting to get over his problem. Getting all caught up in his fears and anger he snarled and looked around desperately, his breathing fairly rapid as Takeshi continued to talk to him and try to win him over. Finding it hard to focus he did eventually look down at him, snarling angrily before it turned into a groan as he eventually shifted his paws as he moved to the ground. It was rather submissive of him but his senses appeared to be coming back to him, gradually. Shu did hope Takeshi could handle T’charrl, especially when he was so afraid of bugs to the point of fainting. Luckily T’charrl didn’t seem to be changing drastically like he did before, but he was still pretty big and ferocious looking. “How you not see what he’s really like? He’s always moved like Friend T’charrl, spoke like Friend T’charrl; he is Friend T’charrl!” He was a little frustrated with the guy, especially when he hurt his friend both by making him change and attacking him. Their friend must’ve been completely stressed out to end up like this and it was hurtful seeing him like this, but he believed they could bring his friend down if this guy gave him a break from all the negative energy. Even with the noise T’charrl was making Shu didn’t like L’esta’s attitude towards T’charrl’s form. “This happen because he saved city. He didn’t want to become it…”Feeling a little sad at this point he frowned as he stared down at L’esta, feeling confused about his latest suggestion. He didn’t know what a painting was exactly, but if it was of T’charrl then it must help possibly. Looking to T’charrl he frowned at seeing how stressed and scared he was, soon looking back and slowly climbing off L’esta. “If you’re quick…a-and do come back! Don’t tell his parents! They’ll be mad!"

Viral raised a paw momentarily when the creature decided to surface, shielding his face by only a little before grunting as it decided to disappear. The creature was totally blind when out of the water and if this thing existed then there must’ve been more, maybe a whole underground system existed; however, right now he couldn’t care about that other than his urge to swim through them which had to disappear. Trying to think through the fog as he was soon picked up by Yumi, his mind soon clearing as he was brought back to his feet; however, very quickly his headache was returning and completely wrecking his mind. Grunting in pain he lifted up his paw to hold his head, feeling awfully sore very quickly. He could focus a lot better than before since moving back to his feet, the whole experience underwater feeling too surreal for him now. “…What? The ship…? No…” he mumbled, not fully focused but at least he was able to move his feet, “I’ll heal…I’m fine! Wouldn’t have happened at all if you just…” Kai gave Choi an annoyed look before looking back to the woman, letting out a sigh. It wasn’t as if he was going to be generous throughout the whole of their lives and of course he’d be a little more careful with it; he thought this woman deserved it, however, and was willing to give her a little extra. “Uhhh, what he said”, he sighed, pointing back to Kabocha, “Decided to talk now?” Seems he decided to swallow his pride and giving her a little break, but it shouldn’t change too much once they walked away from all of this. “Yeah yeah yeah. You have enough in here so a few extra won’t make a difference. You’ll have tons left by the end of it”. Unless they were planning on buying a lot of junk they were going to have a lot of money left over. Having Choi help with the carrying of everything he gave a little sigh as he handed over the money, feeling just a little bit lighter despite there being lots of money left. Choi was fine with carrying the food, seeing how he hadn’t been doing much anyway. The others had done their part; Kabocha getting the money, Kai getting it exchanged and now he could carry the food. He was alright with such a task, it was just like lifting weights. Making sure he had everything balanced he turned around, almost getting a fright when he spotted a familiar in amongst the crowd, staring at him before looking down at the containers. “Oh! Uhh, yes? Of course! We got food for you too, you know”, he spoke, not entirely certain whether Vegeta was being grumpy, demanding or whether that was just the way he said hello, “It’s not like we’d invite you over and deny you food…” T’charrl couldn’t attack Takeshi even if he tried, his instinct telling him he was something in his way rather than his enemy that was threatening with his life. Instead of wildly attacking he seemed to have it under control, his main problem being he had lost his senses in with his need to survive and attack the one threatening him. He was hurting, even if the attack hadn’t been deep enough to strike any organs but it was still a fair gash he had. The wound hadn’t vanished with his change with bandages really needing to be a thing for him when he changed back. For now, the wound he gained definitely had an influence on his anger, his eyes staring down at Takeshi as he tried to see through the rage. Taking a step back when Takeshi raised his hands he snarled when he hit a tree, his head swinging around to look at it before his eyes rested on Takeshi again, his breathing quickening. Shu didn’t want anything to happen to his friend and hopefully blocking L’esta from seeing him at all would help, but that was going do nothing at all considering he had little hands and L’esta was an adult. Frowning when he gave a quick look back he hoped his friend was going to be okay, feeling sad that his friend would have to be brought to the point where he would change. “Friend T’charrl is always the same! How you not see?” he questioned him, trying to make sure L’esta couldn’t get moving by throwing his hands down again, “Friend always moves same way he always do! How you no see? How you no? He didn’t want anyone seeing him, though!” His friend had almost had a panic attack over the thought of being seen so this might’ve made it a lot worse with L’esta being the culprit, even if he didn’t mean to run into him. Looking back to L’esta he frowned at his question, looking back to his friend quickly. “Stop this? He needs to find himself again!” he squeaked, not entirely sure how they would do that, “We were hoping to change him all the way back by finding missing piece he was looking for in his mind! He can’t remember what he looks like…”

Viral didn’t have much in the way of his own senses right now and was naturally finding it a lot harder than it needed to be. If he could just focus for one minute he might be able to get them both to shore in no time at all. Endangering Yumi’s life wasn’t on his agenda for things he wanted to do today, or any day for that matter. Feeling fairly useless he did try to raise his claws and attempt to swim backwards, but just as he managed to raise a claw there was a fair bit of noise from below, his eyes glancing down momentarily to see the black figure move towards them. Barely given a chance to react he moved his head to see Yumi reacting first, his eyes on the Ki build up before she fired. That was an instant bad idea, Viral knew that the moment he saw the Ki and sure enough it delivered some force and threw the pair up into the air. Viral was completely useless in the air and knew he had to come down sometime, simply trying to twist himself around in the air but to no success. Soon enough, the flying through the air was halted rather suddenly as he finally fell back to the shallows, not without landing on Yumi first, however. Landing like a sack of potatoes he came crashing down into the shallows, winded by the drop. The creature had been deterred from jumping out at them the moment the blast exploded, disappearing from sight even after they landed. There was some silence for a brief few moments, the waters appearing fairly calm after the blast before there was a sudden blast of water, the creature surfacing with a screech before landing on its little arms, its large head swinging and jaws snapping as it tried to find the pair. It didn’t appear to want to come out onto the shallows, the rest of its body still submerged. With Yumi and Viral out of its desirable reach it let out a hiss, its large salamander-like head slowly swaying before it eventually turned towards the water again, disappearing into the darkness. Kai would feel a lot more for this money if it was his, but right now he couldn’t care all that much when he was not the owner of it. She would certainly be happy enough accepting their money, but honesty was definitely going to be a factor if they were going to return again. He liked honest people and this woman certainly seemed honest despite her being a strange alien from a hidden planet. Watching her carefully as she packed away the food he smiled a little, feeling quite happy to be getting a good meal out of her stock. “Hmmm…half? Good. That’d be grand”, he spoke, looking down to the money again as she gave him the answers he needed, smiling as he pulled out the larger coins and analysed them, “Hmmm…there’s an awful lot of these in here…whatever, keep the change”, he smiled, finding 50 Doma as well as a little extra, “Are your kind familiar with tips?” Choi was fair excited to finally get food. He loved food no matter what it was or what it looked like, especially when he didn’t have to make it himself. Watching her pack all the food he couldn’t help but rub his hands together in delight, standing on his toes slightly as he watched carefully. She certainly had a lot of nice, strange looking food, but that was definitely what brought appeal in the first place. He liked strange things so that was completely fine to him. Holding out his hands to take the food he gave a quick glance to Kai. “You know, if you’re ever like this when we’re rich I might just have to punch you before you give it all away”. T’charrl had no control over himself, he lost all sense he had before and was about to try and kill L’esta for dare threatening his existence. Being forced into a change to overpower and crush him into the ground he was very quickly increasing in size, his large eyes staring down fiercely at his opponent. Lifting up a large paw to crush L’esta where he stood the small Kaesstrian soon disappeared from his spot, hissing angrily as he looked to see what was happening before his eyes turned to Takeshi. He kept his claws raised in confusion, feeling full of fury yet resisting throwing them down. Haku was here as well, but off to the other side with L’esta was Shu who was having a fair wrestle even though L’esta despite the guy being bigger than him. Pulling back his claws he reared up and snarled at Takeshi, feeling furious that he would even stand in his way despite knowing who he was. Shu didn’t want anything to happen to his friend and ended up pouncing as hard as he could, overpowering L’esta and knocking him down with a hard thump. There wasn’t much he could do to stop T’charrl, but maybe halting L’esta would help. Squealing at him to stop once he collided he flailed his fists as if expecting a retaliation but when none came he looked down at his target. He knew this guy and it seemed L’esta did too, especially when he spoke his name. Looking down at him he looked around as if half-expecting he jumped on the wrong person. “Ooh! You?” he squeaked, looking to T’charrl before quickly looking back to him, throwing his hands up again and waving them in front of L’esta as if trying to block his view in a rather poor way, “No! I mean yes! I mean…no lookie at him! You’ve scared him!”

Viral needed to get his head together, but it was fairly difficult when so much had happened to him emotionally already, the problem with recovery being all of that was screwing with his senses. It was hard having absolutely zero focus and trying to find it after such difficulties including trying to move his body, especially after being flailed about by a giant fish monster. Trying to catch his breath as well as his senses only for them to be knocked by the creature’s force as it swam through the water, his tail nearly getting caught in its torrent and throwing off both Yumi and Viral. He didn’t know why he was finding it so hard to concentrate, the answer could’ve easily been because of the water. It had been a long since he had been near any water and going back to it while in this condition was throwing him off completely. He was fine until he got attacked by Yumi; that was when everything slowly fell apart for him. The creature was still determined to make Viral its prey as it swam around again, the smell of blood from him was definitely too strong to resist. Going deeper down when trying to separate them didn’t work the creature soon took quite a dive only to suddenly twist around and immediately swim up, trying to charge into the pair by diving straight out at them. Kai was fairly certain he could get a good bit of food from this woman if he picked carefully, finding it to be a pretty good deal to have this much choice and not have to cook it himself. Choi probably felt the same way, seeing how they both had to cook a lot while on the ship. Holding out the money for the Kaesstrian he smiled a little, his eyes looking to Choi quickly before back again, this time going to the food. There was so much to choose from, but hearing that there was some meat too made him feel curious. It looked like jerky and probably tasted like it too, definitely something to try out. “Hmm well, we’ll take a fair bunch of both the fish and steaks then, also a bunch of your dishes you’ve prepared. We’re having a friend come and meet us soon”, he spoke, looking into the money pouch before back to her, “I’m not sure how much I’m supposed to pay you, so I’m just going to pretend I know and throw money at you until it’s enough to pay for the food, okay? Make sure we get a fair bit of that meat you have. Maybe you looking like you’ve sold a lot will have people buying more”. T’charrl thought he had control after all this time, throughout their entire travel he had only changed when he metamorphed but he knew what this meant when he felt like this. His energy was recognising that he was in danger, even if his mind didn’t want to attack L’esta. All this trying to find control had got him nowhere and now he was trying to find it simply to prevent him from killing L’esta. Trying hard to find the control he needed against this fearful response he took hold of his head, trying to cover his eyes momentarily but was soon having to turn to L’esta as he made an appearance and was indeed taking the most aggressive approach possible. Turning around to try and use his own blade the Captain proved to be too quick, his body taking a fair slice across the abdomen and chest as he let out a yelp in response. Backing off a few steps he was soon left shaking, a claw going to cover his wound before his glowing eyes immediately became vicious and strong, his toothy snarl soon showing itself before he threw his claws down before L’esta as his body gradually started growing larger quickly and much more vicious. Shu didn’t know how T’charrl had managed to wander this far. Maybe he got chased and they didn’t even know it. He was struggling to understand who would want to attack their friend, but then again there was a lot of people out there who cared more for appearance while he had no care on the matter. Their dislike over appearance confused him greatly, but maybe others found him scary because of his big teeth and claws. Racing through the trees to get to his friend he glanced down at Takeshi, not doubting what he was saying at all. “Uh huh! Friend! Help friend!” He needed to get there quickly, they couldn’t let their friend get killed. Nobody was at fault here and he knew that, but he still felt the need to treat it like an unfortunate situation because they decided to play around and not watch him. Seeing the figure up ahead move straight ahead he heard a strange but pained noise, gasping in response. “Ah! Friend!” Racing even faster through the trees he made one last leap, trying to tackle the smaller yet still larger Kaesstrian, “Leave friend!!”

Viral was not able to focus at all even when he tried, as if something got on his nerves so much that it managed to short-circuit something in his brain. He needed to focus and get out of there before something happened to Yumi, especially when she couldn’t last as long as he could underwater. Trying to find focus he reached out for balance as he spun through the water, bouncing off the lake bed instead of catching any sort of balance whatsoever. He didn’t know what was going on, his mind couldn’t find focus and there was no way he was finding the right reactionary time to get back up there; however, as his mind tried to focus it was Yumi who grabbed hold of him and pulled him up to the surface. Gasping when the light shone on his face he soon coughed into the water, feeling a little disorientated and slightly blinded by the sudden shine of the light in his clouded vision. The creature below hadn’t appeared again yet, but below them the black shape moved around, its dorsal fin looking like it was trying to cut off Yumi’s grip to Viral as it moved around rapidly. It was only smelling Viral right now and it didn’t seem to want to give up on a meal. It was trying to bump Yumi away from him, especially when she was the main threat right now and Viral was as good as pudding. “About as much influence as anyone who owns a popular stall in the middle of a popular city with people surrounding us?” Kai didn’t see how Kabocha could possibly not think that they might have the whole world looking straight at them. They were completely different to what the Kaesstrians were and of course they were going to catch their attention. Who knew how well they could hear and how quickly gossip spread but if they ruined things for the others nobody was going to be happy with them. With the invitation for Vegeta to join them he couldn’t see any way he might insult anybody if he was around to tell Kabocha off, just too bad he was often talking about nerdy things none of them could understand. “Fine. You wait here and call him, I’ll get the food ready with Choi”. He would need an extra pair of hands to carry the food, especially if he was getting as much as he thought they might need. Walking on up to the stall with his brother he looked around as he waited for the person in front to finish, giving the money in the bag a staring at before realising it was his turn. Looking to his brother quickly he soon looked back to the woman, raising his money pouch up into view. “Hello Miss. I’m back with money you can use and still looking for that food. Do you have anything for me, my brother and a couple of friends that’ll keep us going for a long time?” Shu didn’t want T’charrl to get hurt or find him hurt when they finally arrived. It was fairly worrying that their friend might’ve fallen into trouble and hearing that in the distance meant he had definitely found it somehow. Shu would be happy when they finally found their friend, but there was always going to be that worry that he wasn’t going to be in top condition when they finally found him. Looking to Takeshi for answers but quickly got a fright instead, his head spinning in the direction of the loud noise. It wasn’t too far away but they still had to hurry, especially when it sounded like fighting was going on. Turning around immediately he jumped through the trees as Takeshi flew with him, trying to hurry without needing to fly through a pretty dangerous place when he wasn’t great at it in the first place. “Hurry, hurry! Friend! He needs help, yes!” T’charrl needed to pick himself up from all of this and get away from here, especially when it seemed like a lost cause to try and fight against someone he knew with his life on the line. The Captain saw him as nothing more than a large threat and it greatly hurt his self-confidence. Falling over was a pretty big deal for him considering his size and body proportions. Picking himself up he looked around to L’esta again, hearing how he wasn’t taking his concerns as little more than threats. Losing sight of L’esta there was a moment where he knew he was going to die by his hand, but even if the way to prevent such a fate was to call out who he was he just couldn’t reveal such a thing. Quickly turning around he tried to catch sight of him, panicking briefly before a sharp pain coursed through his body, causing him to pull back slightly and dig his claws into the ground. He thought he had control over this, he couldn’t be doing this now, especially when it was L’esta he was defending his life again. Trying hard to fight off his energy spiking he shook his head and scratched at his size, his eyes soon glowing in quite the threatening manner.

This was a rather unfortunate predicament, especially now that the water was flying everywhere and he couldn’t exactly focus on anything. It was only luck through Viral’s strength that he wasn’t going into berserk mode when this was extremely frustrating in itself. He couldn’t think straight and was just trying to find his mind again, but that was proving to be difficult after he already lost focus. Despite trying to claw the salamander-fish he couldn’t quite manage by himself, his genes working against him in granting no such thing as a motivation to fight against what essentially should’ve been a giant meal to him. Feeling his arm near pop out of its socket there was a sudden force that threw him downwards and an audible screech in the water, the creature letting go of Viral to wipe at its nose with its stubby arms to try and get the attacking Yumi off. Viral, on the other hand, was having a gentle float through the waters as he spun away, not looking all there in the head as he bumped off the bottom of the lake. “You had alien money. That’s not good money to her…more like handing her spiny flowers and insisting they won’t hurt her”, Kai sighed, not exactly feeling patient enough to deal with Kabocha’s stubbornness, “If she apologises to us for not accepting our money, I’m giving you a kick for being a prick and making her uncomfortable. We’re supposed to be making a good impression here, not freaking out the locals and making them believe we’re all jerks”. Even one bad impression could leave a lasting one amongst an entire race and he wasn’t wanting to have to go through the effort of trying to make everything better once again. Kabocha could ruin a lot of things for them if he insisted on being a jerk. “It matters when I don’t particularly like being stared at by a bunch of aliens while I’m eating. Unless you’re into that”, Kai shook his head, looking around at the passerbys before back to Kabocha, frowning a little, “Vegeta? Are you sure about that? He’s probably going to talk about nerd stuff…but if you insist, you can call him while I get the food”. Shu was worried about his friend, thinking they probably shouldn’t had taken their eye off him or kept him close. He didn’t know where he went hiding because he went away first to hide, but even though Haku was probably the last to try and find a place it seemed he had no idea or a care to where T’charrl went. If his friend wasn’t responding on the scouter then something was wrong or he had lost it without realising. It was always hard to tell whether his friend had ears for the scouter to attach to but he might had if it held in place somehow. Feeling a little disheartened by his friend’s absence he looked to Takeshi for advice, hoping he might find something he couldn’t from the trees. Looking around again he sighed, feeling completely unsure right up until there was a strange noise in the forest, something that sounded pretty out of place. Looking to Takeshi quickly before around again he got all anxious, bouncing on the branch a little, “Ooh! Ooh! That sounds like bad stuff…” he muttered, looking around quickly, “But where? Sound bouncing…can’t tell where! Where’s friend??” L’esta really did manage to hit hard despite his enhanced strength, the whole hit feeling completely uncomfortable and undesirable to go through. He wasn’t used to such high powered attacks hitting off his blades yet, he had barely fought at all since changing so many times so this definitely made him feel the difficulties of fighting real opponents. Despite all that, T’charrl’s blade didn’t break and withstood the attack. He needed to think of a way out of this and fast, already he was feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to cause harm to the man simply because he knew him so well. Hissing lowly he backed off a little, watching L’esta decide to go for a different tactic before watching as he suddenly made a dash around, feeling overwhelmed already by the Captain’s actions. It was very easy to confuse a Kaesstrian when you knew how and the Captain definitely did. Looking around at him hastily he almost fell over his feet, trying to keep an eye on him with hope that he could dodge whatever he threw at him. “Stop! You’ll regret this! I’m not threatening with that either!”
