Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu didn’t know what he was supposed to do once they were all done with this and Takeshi wanted to work, especially when it would mean he would probably be alone while he was away doing things. He didn’t really want to do that too much and did want to be with Takeshi quite a lot, but it was hard when there was no way to see the future. He was curious about his future and did want to have a clearer idea to what he was supposed to do, but right now he didn’t have a clue and should probably continue focusing on his present and much more pleasant time with his brother and friends. With T’charrl’s mother leaving they could chat for a while properly and loosen up like they usually do, at least until this ‘musician’ arrived, whatever that was. Smiling at T’charrl’s mother he gave a quick wave, bouncing on his chair a little before sighing, looking back to Takeshi. “Would people give us shinies if we did things for others? Like giving food when you’ve been good! Food is good, then shinies is good…right?” T’charrl did hope that Renthal was going to find something that might be repairable but if it was a mutation he was going through then it most likely wasn’t reversible. If it could be controlled then that would be great, but if it was getting to the point where his body was actually weakening and he could possibly become debilitated. It was a pretty difficult time he was having and his mother could tell that, but his pheromones were probably telling her these things even if he did try to hide them. His friends weren’t very good at sensing emotions, but then again he figured their race couldn’t do that as well as his own. They certainly had a lot of different facial expressions compared to his own races so maybe that’s how they expressed themselves more. He should ask about their various ways of expression and what might be unique to them and foreign to him completely. Smiling with his mother as she left he let out a sigh, lowering his head a little before his eyes went to Haku, feeling confused about what he meant. “Do now? I want to listen to the musician”, he spoke, looking back to his claws as he rested them on the table, “I thought you might wanted to as well. I listened and watched everything your culture had to offer…so I thought I could show you all a little bit of mine too?” Viral didn’t doubt Yumi’s intelligence and everyone else’s complete lack of awareness when it came to anything concerning him. He was a bit of a radical element when it came to everyday life even if he had been around for a long time, but it was just a normal organic’s response. They naturally overlooked something that was out of place and the most out of place something could get was being artificially created. Being unable to fit in anywhere made it difficult to be recognised and regarded, something he had seen throughout his entire life. “I have a lot to worry about incase it happens again. Everyone already knows how fragile my mind is…who knows when someone will take advantage of that again and force me to betray everyone under the control of someone else”. He was always going to be concerned with killing someone close to him even if everyone dismissed it as being impossible. Yumi was right that someone would probably go up and try to stop it, but that would probably involve the termination of himself to fully get rid of the problem. Just because he was alive didn’t mean he was valued under the same rights that organic beings were. Staring into the fountain he sighed when Yumi found the same conclusion only coming to another which ultimately lead her to her life decision, but proved his point when she was trying to disapprove it. She had her entire life growing up and education to help her find what she truly enjoyed, but everything he learned early in life was how to fight. Due to the wiping of his memory he didn’t have any recollection of those days, but Aito made a point to him that he learned martial arts and trained under many battle techniques and strategies. It was all he was programmed to do from an early age and nothing else seemed possible for him to do. “Everything else will become misery for me to do because it was not what I was meant to do. You had many years to decide what you wanted to do, remember? What I’m trying to say is you experienced what the world had to offer while I was made to stare out of a window, yearning for freedom while the only ‘freedom’ I had was hunting with you and Vegeta but under heavy supervision. You may had thought I was allowed to go outside freely, but there was always someone watching me and taking notes. I wasn’t allowed to go beyond certain boundaries. But…maybe that’s just it. It’s all in the past and there’s nothing I can do about it now”.

Shu wasn’t sure where he was supposed to be in society but he wasn’t sure whether he should be concerned or not, especially when he had Takeshi to keep him on track and make him feel like he had somewhere he could be. If he had Takeshi then he had somewhere he could belong. Having that feeling of solitude hanging over him made him feel fairly terrible most of the time so he didn’t want to think about it. He was definitely happier with others, especially when they liked him back too. He was not wanting to go back to that state of existence again, at least not for a long time. Smiling at Takeshi he gave a little nod, trying to understand what he was saying. “I think I get it now. I don’t know what I could do to get shinies…” he sighed, scratching his nose, “I could make people happy! That can be hard, yes? Do they give shinies if you make them happy? I do like making happiness”. He really had no idea what he was supposed to do to help Takeshi out but he did like the whole exploring part and travelling to meet new people so maybe they could keep doing that without needing too much work done. He would love to have the opportunity to keep travelling through space but still have access to Takeshi’s home for the trees and just being able to go back to Earth. T’charrl didn’t know how to turn off the paranoia around new people or how to keep calm when in no danger whatsoever. It might easily come down to being more afraid of people seeing him or worrying that others were going to attack him or his family because of things he did, but either way it wasn’t something that he wanted to keep as a trait. It was pretty difficult handling all these feelings of concern, but maybe he just needed his friends and family to help him along the way. Nodding at his mother he let out a sigh and rubbed his head, giving the orb on his forehead a quick tap. “Renthal hardly noticed a thing…either that or he is really good at hiding his concerns. I did get him to take a blood sample, though…” he sighed, feeling unsure to whether it’ll help, “I just wish I could figure it out myself”. When his mother decided she should get back to work he couldn’t help but feel saddened, hoping to spend more time with his parents. He had been away for a long time and this was their first meal together again, but if she needed to then it must’ve been important. Smiling sadly at her he lowered his head when she gave him a kiss, his eyes turning to his friends when they were given orders as if they were soldiers. Smiling awkwardly at them he sighed and looked to the table, raising his shoulders. “I’ll be okay…really. Thank you, Mother…” Viral didn’t know what he was supposed to think or if his memories were just false, especially when it had been proven that his memories could fail him by quite a large margin. It all made him rather paranoid and panicky, finding it hard to recover from that state when it got going in his mind. He wanted to try and recover from this by himself, trying hard to think positive but finding it impossible pretty quick too. Just how could he shake off the possibility of being used his entire life in some sort of secret plot to betray everyone he knew; he couldn’t take that kind of thought process, the thought of betraying others managed to make him furious and confused to how he managed to fall for it so easily. He was so naïve sometimes and it was hard to keep up with possible deceit. It didn’t matter if he was ill or stressed or whatever, being unable to see through something like that made him so angry. Growling lowly he rubbed his head, trying to ease the pain stress created. “Just because it seems weird doesn’t mean it’s not true…that it’s worth ignoring. If you can see a problem then there must be a problem! I can’t see any other reason why they would let me near you two when you were both so young…” He was certainly annoyed at both himself and everyone else for not spotting it sooner, especially when he was made such a fool of for so long. What he really needed was answers, but he didn’t know how he was going to get them when he was already struggling to believe anything anybody said. Slowly rubbing his face he let out a groan, his eyes slowly looking up again when Yumi tried to think of answers herself. Staring at her for a moment he soon sighed, rubbing his forehead. “Finding my own is the same as sitting alone in the dark. I never grew up the same way you did. I am nearly the same age as Vegeta and yet you both remember me as a grown adult. I never had the experience to learn and discover what I truly wanted to do and have been following what was placed in my head from the start. Maybe he did, but I need to find the answers…at least before I succumb to…this. You had the opportunity to grow up and decide what you wanted to be, but I was made with a purpose in mind, not just to see if it could be done. To live with that existence makes you no better than an empty shell. How would it feel if you grew up and didn’t know where to go, what to do and what the future held for you and nobody to guide or help you along the way?”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu didn’t think he was ever going to be tough in anybody’s eyes even if he was pretty strong, probably because he was so small and he knew it. He was always looking up at everyone while everyone looked down at him in return so it was easy to feel afraid of a lot of things that the others couldn’t possibly understand. To have everything staring down at you would easily make you scared of the world, something Takeshi probably would never understand. The world was always going to be a giant scary place, at least until he grew up. Staring at Takeshi as he tried to explain what it meant to be of a particular species Shu tilted his head slightly, not entirely understanding what was being said. “I guess…? I don’t feel I belong to the Saiyans or Humans. They don’t like me”. His clan didn’t really like him either but at least they accepted him for so many years without trying to kill him. He was very strong for his size and they knew that, but that was probably why they left him alone. Squirming on his chair slightly he smiled a little at Takeshi’s response, only feeling a little confused over the ‘job’ remark. “A job…? Ooh, I want to do a lot too. I don’t want to watch one thing all my life too, but I want to look after food too…but adventure!” T’charrl knew his mother was probably scared of him when he first changed considering he tried to eat her, but he didn’t know if she was still scared. He didn’t like the thought of his parents being scared of his power just because it wasn’t something people were familiar with. Lowering his head he gave a nod at his mother’s admittance, stroking his antennae. “I really am trying to get better…but I don’t know why it’s so hard either. Ki was easy, but I still don’t know what’s happening to me to solve this problem. I’m not sure how else to fix it other than maybe finding a Master”. He was always going to be worried over his powers, but it probably wasn’t best to discuss them for too long if they were going to have a musician from another land here. Looking to his father he smiled a little, letting go of his antennae. “Well…I’m not completely healthy, but I am trying to get there”. Not entirely sure if it was an illness he had or not he looked to his father again as he decided to look for the musician, giving a brief nod. “Okay. Just be careful, okay? Maybe it’s because of Space, but strangers make me feel really paranoid now. I wish I sorted that out too…” Viral didn’t know what he was supposed to think when it came to the Capsule Corp possibly wanting to use him in such a fashion, but then again was it any better when he was considered being used as a weapon in conflicts that didn’t interest him. It seemed everybody was concerned with using him as a weapon for their own personal use, never allowing him to make his own decisions. Sure, he enjoyed fighting, but that’s what he was made for. His creators were wrong when they told him he ‘could be whatever he wanted to be’ because he clearly couldn’t; he was a warrior through and through and would always crave combat, no matter what his situation was. It really made him wonder why he was created and what purpose that desire served, why he was made from these specific genes. If he was just going to betray everyone around him then there was no point in him staying with these people and if he ever got better then maybe it was best leaving them before he became too withdrawn into his own destructive desires. Sure, he would be alone for the rest of his life, but his path of destruction won’t include any of them. “I should expect such assumptions by now to be correct…after all, that’s all I’ve been used for. Who is to say you are not correct in this theory of yours given the evidence…” he spoke lowly, running his claws through his hair, “To let others run the company is no better than taking control of me. Just because it can’t walk…hmph, his father will soon be alive again to take over the company, anyway…but…the worst can still happen again. The one who did that to me is possibly still alive…and what of the media? They’ll catch wind that he’s alive again and then the RRA will find out. I’m confused…I don’t know what to think anymore. I don’t know what to do. What is my purpose? Like you’d know…like anyone would know other than the dead! They’ll continue to hide it from me…”

Shu was scared of a lot of things to do with the dark, but it had gotten worse since he was taken in by his father. The noises at night really put a number on his mind, especially when he was alone in a cold room most of his time. He wasn’t a creature of solitude at all, it made him feel cold and alone. Hearing noises during the night really put him on edge, his worry definitely on the thought that he might get attacked because his vision wasn’t very good at night. It was always going to be a primal fear but it had definitely gotten worse than it once was. It shouldn’t matter anyway; he was with Takeshi and his friends so he shouldn’t be alone at night anymore. Frowning a second when Takeshi spoke he soon smiled again and bounced a little. “I am a monkey! I am!” he giggled, smiling happily, “Is there something wrong with that?” Giving his head a quick scratch he frowned again when he was subtly accused of being weak despite coming from the wilds, not liking the wording of that sentence. “You think it does? It makes the world be seen as the scary place it is. Must find food to live, shelter to live, hide to live, fight to live…lots of things! Best time I’ve had is living with you! But it’s tough to get used to it…need shinies for food…no shinies mean no food! Shinies gone and then Shu is no living no more!” T’charrl knew people were afraid of new things, even he was still afraid of his own powers after all these years. He had always been afraid of exposing it to everyone he knew and now his problem was being afraid of losing control. He didn’t know when it might happen again but he knew all he needed to feel was some sort of stress that often triggered his powers, but he knew this kind of chatter would never cause that to happen at least. “I guess so. Umm, I have a question about that, actually…” he spoke lowly, shifting his claws on the table, “Are you two afraid of it? You’ve seen what it does to me and what it can do and I just-…I just feel a little afraid myself. I don’t know a thing about what’s happening to me”. There was no doubt that he could blame the General for what happened to him but he didn’t know how that would make anything better, his idea of blaming being directed immediately to himself after he thought about it. He was the one who carelessly took all that energy and didn’t know how to expel it safely. Feeling a little distracted he nearly forgot all about the musician, his head immediately picking up. “O-Oh, right. Maybe they were waiting until we finished?” No matter how Viral looked at it he was always going to be a danger to children, even if he could have his own. He was violent by nature and didn’t have a great track record for not finding trouble so there would be no peace for them. It would be selfish to share that kind of life with another. He didn’t want Yumi thinking he wanted a kid as she would only encourage it and probably try to get him one, placing the child in danger unknowingly. He knew himself best and knew he couldn’t do that, especially when he was facing an illness that gave him a limited future. Thinking the risk to be too great over in his head he gave Yumi a quick look as she decided to do some thinking of her own, going all the way back to the past after he had a quick reminisce. He didn’t like what she was trying to suggest at all, screwing up his perception of his past. He didn’t know how to take that, finding it a little confusing yet concerning. To think he was being used without even being aware of it for so many years made him pretty terrible that he might had missed it, but also rather paranoid. “You think I was part of a plot to kill Vegeta?” he questioned her before letting out a groan, not finding it great for his stress, “Expecting me to betray everyone…willingly letting me near children…but why? To find a new heir to the company? To say I was always being used even when I didn’t know…I don’t know how to take that. How long have you been thinking that?”

“You are fat. More than me so yes you are”, Shu giggled, smiling as he raised his shoulders, “Is not very nice being called fat now when you no think you’re fat, is it?” Takeshi probably didn’t like being called fat, but it was true when it was Shu that was the skinny one and Takeshi was indeed ‘fatter’ than he was. There was a lot to add up when it came to insulting someone and Shu figuring out why they were insulted, completing his acknowledgement that it was indeed an insult and how it shouldn’t be used. He was certainly happy over that discovery and even though it meant Takeshi was getting a little upset by it, he was still the one who called the lady fat and thought it wasn’t that bad an insult. Smiling away to himself he soon finished off the fruit, letting out a sigh and soon began licking his fingers as Takeshi tried to sound tough. Squeaking, Shu wiggled on his chair a little, wiping down his hands on his shirt. “Ooh! But when you so little and there’s strange noises in the night and you feel all scared and want to cuddle up it’s hard to want to attack it. It’s not always easy to defeat attackers in the night when you’re so small and scared”. T’charrl didn’t know what would be a suitable solution to his problem, finding it all to be too difficult to think through when he had no idea what he was supposed to do to find them. There was supposed to be a way for him to find energy signatures like his own if there was a way to do it like he could with Ki, but even then it was too difficult to think about nevermind do. To do what his mother was asking him was a bit difficult for him to think through, especially when it sounded as if it’d cause more aggression than calm. Looking to his mother he frowned at her answer, sighing a little as he looked back to the table. “I…guess so. I’m just afraid, I guess. I’m not sure how to show it off without frightening people and calling me a threat to their lives”. He was sure he wasn’t going to be able to encourage them to come out if he acted with aggression, threatening the leaders to let him into their kingdoms just because of his status. They could duel him all they wanted to if that would make them happy, but he didn’t want to resort to that. “It might be a little hard to find them though, I mean…you didn’t know about what I could do…” Not entirely sure how to go about this he felt he needed a little more time to think about it, wondering if he could probably discuss it with Katas as well if his mother wanted to go through with that plan. Looking to his father he hoped maybe he could think of a way to make this work too after all this chatter, smiling slightly when he agreed with his non-violent approach. He really didn’t want to create a war out of his one desire to find someone who was like him. “Maybe. Do we still have allies even after uhh…the conflict?” he asked curiously, certainly in a position to wonder about that, “I’ve never even seen the other kingdoms. Will they even know who I am? I don’t need to show off the fact I defeated the General, do I? I can’t say I like using that for anything”. Viral really wanted to move off this subject before they moved into territory that he really didn’t want to set foot in. He knew what it would be like if he ended up telling her everything he had been hiding for so long, even if she didn’t care about him being thought of as a weakling. He didn’t want to reveal too much about himself and what he often thought about certain aspects of his life, especially regarding this. Growling lowly he soon let out a sigh instead, rubbing his forehead. He didn’t think he managed to teach them anything that they still used, especially when Yumi went to train at a dojo and Vegeta concentrated more on science. It was at the point when Vegeta considered hiring him out to work in the army was the final straw for him. Letting out a grunt he shook his head, not feeling the praise she was trying to give before giving her an annoyed look when she tried to come closer. Staring at her for a moment he looked away soon after, going back to resting his head on his paw. “I’m not going to have a kid! Okay? It’s not going to be an option and neither is it a good idea. Just because you have happy memories doesn’t mean they are all good. I wasn’t raising you two by myself. I was constantly being watched and monitored, as always. I didn’t have you two with me a lot of the time at the start because I kept scaring Vegeta without meaning to. He wasn’t used to not having parents and not used to seeing me around for a while, even if he was the one who released me. I’m not raising a kid that has nothing to do with me. I don’t know why I tried to raise Vegeta…but then again, I was told I was ‘made’ for that purpose…even though I doubt it greatly”.

“But you are fat compared to me! You fattie-fat”, Shu giggled, shifting on his seat, “It’s okay if you’re fat. I’m not fat and if I was fat like you, I would be in trouble! I would look too much like you!” It was amusing to get Takeshi all wound up and bothered by his own rudeness, especially when Shu was now seeing why it was such a bad thing for him to say. Giggling a little he reached out to grab one last piece of fruit, munching at it as Takeshi tried to justify his ‘tough’ life. He didn’t think it was so bad, probably because there had been constant threats when he was growing up. “Ooh! I didn’t have money…no need for money! Always looking for food, fighting back predators and bad clans! Moving everywhere and lots of rain all the time”, Shu sighed, scratching his neck in contemplation, “Never really had a home except for whole jungle! Scary place…are you scared of creatures in the night? I am. Scary things might eat you while you sleep…and family no care because they no like you much. Makes scary place even more scary…” T’charrl was pretty well set on not using his friends to his advantage, thinking it to be a little lowly to do such a thing just because of what they were. It would be the same as Takeshi and Shu using his power to their advantage and only taking him somewhere so they could make him do something they couldn’t do. He could try and do it himself and not have to force others into his business when they didn’t want to, especially as they were supposed to be having a holiday. “But…not even the guards know about what I can do. I don’t want to show off my powers just because I am wanting to try and find people who might have them. I’m not sure how I would do such a thing without it being an act of aggression”. He could probably try and use his powers to find them since they would have the same type of energy he has, but that would be a complete longshot when he had no idea how to do such a thing. He hadn’t found anyone else who had the same abilities as him so it would be trial and error. He wasn’t sure whether going by it aggressively would accomplish anything. The thing he worried about was the kingdoms thinking they’d use people like him to hold dominance over them, using the unknown power against them. “I…guess…something needs to be done to help them…” he frowned, letting out a sigh, “I’m worried that I may not have the gut to think like that, though. I know I’m supposed to, but something about wanting something like that and there actually being people to find doesn’t sound like a good start at all. I don’t know if they exist and I don’t know if I can find them. I’ve never had to try and do that before and if we threaten them only to find nobody, I don’t know how that would benefit us”. Feeling a little discouraged T’charrl lowered his head before his eyes turned to his father, frowning as he spoke. Even with that plan he still worried that they would be seen as a threat much like he was to anybody who met him, just like L’esta thought. He didn’t know how to get around that and knew how sketchy the plan he had was, so maybe there was a way to work around it without causing a lot of trouble. “Send them back? I guess so…I mean, it’s their choice to want to come here too. I just wonder how to hide the fact I would be doing that stuff with them from the public. I don’t think they’ll be ready to understand such a thing without spawning some sort of fear or hatred for us”. He didn’t like the idea of taking them away but he didn’t want it to be hostile. He wanted it to be a choice and to try and understand his power too, maybe finally get it under control if there was a master out there who could help him. He didn’t want to be a danger to his friends and family anymore but he didn’t know how to solve it. “Maybe uhh…I-I can convince them to do it without showing off aggression? I mean, they might know me and if I say there might be terrorists targeting certain people, maybe they’ll want me to find them before the terrorists win?” Viral didn’t like talking about this particular subject when it was directed at him, hoping that he was going to instead direct her towards possibly thinking of having a family of her own. Instead, Yumi did her typical thing and turned the discussion towards him and made things incredibly awkward. It wasn’t as if it was something she knew a lot about anyway so it was a fairly innocent question, but it was incredibly awkward considering what he was and what exactly he couldn’t do. He thought him saying how he lacked the same morals people would be a big enough hint that he wouldn’t be good around other people. Growling in annoyance he rubbed his head, his paw eventually waving to get her to stop poking him before leaning his head on his palm. It wasn’t a matter of getting defensive as it was trying to avoid the question by calling it stupid. “’Just to try it’? Sure, I’d love to just test the waters with raising a kid of my own…” he grumbled, not having a lot of fun with this subject, “I can’t have kids. My genetics wouldn’t allow it. I’d rather not think about something I barely know anything about and have never been interested in! Besides, I tried to teach you two things but you both grew out of them fairly quickly. I wouldn’t want kids anywhere near me incase they piss me off too much…”

Shu let out a giggle, smiling at Takeshi. “Would you like it if I called you fat? Fatty fat Takeshi!” he bounced happily, giggling away before stuffing food in his mouth again. At least he was polite with what he said and came up with the better question, especially when he didn’t know how Kaesstrians had kids. Asking if someone was expecting was definitely better than saying they eat too much, especially when babies were cute in Shu’s eyes. He only saw a few of their babies in town and did wonder how someone like his friend used to be something like that. Shu was certainly enjoying himself either way, even if Takeshi ended up the one being punished. Smiling happily as he continued to eat he looked to Takeshi again, confused to why he was making it so much more complicated than he was trying to explain it as. Tilting his head a little he smiled, hearing how silly Takeshi was being. “Nooo! I don’t mean that, silly! You so silly!” he giggled, shifting on his seat, “Shu means everything there for something! Everything needs the other thing to live. Can’t say I could be alive if it wasn’t for trees and fish. You may have easy time with a house, but living in the wilds was hard without relying on them”. T’charrl was certain his mother could relieve a lot of the worries, especially when she probably knew a lot about them and whether they were a part of growing up. He was still young and wasn’t a full adult yet so everything strange and new upset him, easily making him think he was even more different than his own kind. He hadn’t fully adapted to any of these changes and they all still managed to scare him. He didn’t know who to talk to about any of it other than his mother. Smiling he let out a sigh, looking down at his plate. “They really like meat, but I suppose Shu really likes fruit but still likes meat. Honestly…I don’t know what’s up with the two of them; although, I think Shu came from the forest, or something”. They were pretty different but they were very similar to each other too, both with personalities that worked well together. They were certainly related but looked nothing alike, except maybe their faces a little bit. Looking to his mother as she finished up he too decided to finish too, giving his plate a casual push forward and sitting back in his chair. T’charrl didn’t really know whether consulting the leaders was a very good idea, especially when his kind of power was more of a taboo amongst his people, something to be feared. He didn’t want the leaders knowing these people existed. “But…if they knew, wouldn’t they want them dead? They won’t know about them if they were like me”, he muttered, keeping his head low, his eyes soon going up to his friends. He didn’t want to get them involved in something they didn’t want to be a part of, especially when it would be too selfish to get them involved in his own business. “I don’t want to threaten them. I-I just want to know if there’s others like me and if there is then I-I just don’t want their lives threatened anymore”. Viral didn’t want Yumi ending her life without accomplishing all the goals her kind often gave themselves so it was only right to ask her if she was going to accomplish them all. She had that freedom to do all of these things and there would always be many things he couldn’t do himself, but he was not sure if he wanted those things himself. He didn’t know what was going to happen to him and he knew his limits, especially when it came to what he could mentally handle. Frowning at her reasoning he sighed and shook his head, not finding it a good enough excuse. “Vegeta wouldn’t exist if certain family members never decided to have kids…then you get the fact Goku managed to figure it out…” he grumbled, not really wanting to think about that. Something about he thought of Goku having kids made him feel slightly queasy, probably because he was such a buffoon. Giving his head a slow rub he glanced up in slight annoyance, his hand slowly shifting to one of his horns and giving it a rub instead. “It’s just a few…ornaments or whatever. I’m okay. Wouldn’t mind being able to reverse it…but whatever…” He was probably just making up excuses to why he felt so bothered by everything, hoping maybe it was just these afflictions and the pain they were causing that was making him so angry. He knew there was probably a lot more to it than that but didn’t want to believe what was going on in his head was his true problem. The nightmares and insomnia were still a problem, so were the odd flashback or two, but he was sure the psychosis was due to his genes rather than what was going on in his head. He didn’t want to believe he had problems that everyone needed to get involved with. Feeling rather fed up already he continued to stare into the energy, his eyes momentarily going to Yumi as she moved closer to him, immediately feeling on edge when she asked her question. “…What is this? Some kind of investigation?” he asked up, letting out a growl as he moved a little, “Someone might get hurt with a question like that. Why would I want a family? I don’t even know where a question like that would become relevant in my life. Might as well ask if I want a needle in my eye and you’ll know how that’d turn out…”

“Ooh! Saying someone is fat is rude too but you don’t think so”, Shu giggled, giving him a cheeky smile. Shu only had a little bit of his brother’s rudeness in him but he wasn’t going to get to his level and start insulting others and claim he did nothing wrong. Shu had pretty valid reasons for acting the way he did while Takeshi should know better, especially as Shu observed the outcome and only saw people acting aggressively towards some of the things Takeshi said. Shu was smart in how he could watch and learn, unlike Takeshi who made excuses. Giving his nose a rub he giggled a little, pressing his fingers together with a big smile on his face as he tried to understand what Takeshi was trying to tell him. “It’s not there for us? It keeps me safe, uh huh!” he nodded, shifting on his chair a little, “Fish there because they eat bugs! Bugs make me itchy sometimes so they eat them and make me not itchy. Fish are there for me! Although sometimes they big and bite then they not there for me, huh…ooh! Some fish! Not all fish! I should be careful not to get eaten”. T’charrl was a little worried about what was happening to him but was thankful that he had gotten over the impulse to eat others and was in near complete control. He still acted out a lot but not to the point where he wanted to chomp down on someone’s head. He still loved his fruit, but meat was definitely the most appealing foodstuff right now. He hoped his mother wouldn’t mind and hopefully she knew a little bit about what was possibly happening to him with his hunger, worried that he was going through a devourer-like state where it might become too much for him to control. Feeling all worried he looked back to his mother when she gave him an answer, finding that to be a much better answer than what he had previously been dreading. “So I’m just…I’m just growing up? This is all normal?” he asked, a little concerned with her wording but thought it was just a joke. Lowering his head a little he let out a sigh, rubbing his face. “I guess so, I just worry, is all. I’ve not been near another Kaesstrian for a while to ask…” He didn’t think his mother would be too enthusiastic with his idea but that was probably normal. There wasn’t a big problem with that, he had a strange power and people would probably want to stay out of the business of those who have the same power. It made him a little depressed whenever he thought about it though, especially when he had to deal with that attitude for most of his life until now. Giving his food a good staring at he nodded slightly before looking up to his mother, frowning a little. She didn’t sound too enthusiastic about his idea but then again she was probably a little afraid of them just like others would be too if they found out he could sap life energy and use it for his own doing. “I hoped you would understand. I just-…it was so easy thinking I’m the only one but now that I can travel, maybe there’s more people out there like me and think they’re alone too. Just knowing that there might be someone else out there with the same condition is good enough for me”. Viral would rather Yumi was her own person and not forced to take up a title that simply meant she felt sorry for his current situation. He wasn’t happy with her trying to isolate herself as well. He wasn’t the only one out there who was artificial so he didn’t feel that isolated, but being the only Beastman did have a negative effect on him when it came to his primal desire to be around more of his kind. There were a few aspects of his existence that his creators never did erase to make him the perfect killer, one of them being his desire to have contact with his own kind. He didn’t want to drag Yumi down into that lonely existence, she had plenty of people around her who could still identify with her. Staring into the energy he sighed as she went through the various aspects that made Humans what they are, finding a lot of the stuff to be fairly trivial. He thought that’s what most of them had and wanting more of it was certainly something, but then again maybe that was already something he was familiar with. He didn’t know what he wanted anymore, especially when he had such an uncertain future. “You don’t want a family that much? Or are you waiting to get back to Earth before you start thinking about that stuff…” he questioned her, not entirely sure why he was curious in the first place, “I understand…but I don’t know why I have to be subject to people’s focus all the time. Won’t you feel unfulfilled if you didn’t concern yourself with your other friends? Concentrating on one when you have so many others who you are forgetting about. If you believe I’m going to be fine, wouldn’t you want to spend time with them? The most appealing thing I’m doing is sitting here…all while Vegeta sits up by himself”.

Shu didn’t see how he was doing wrong when everything he did was his own choice and not anybody else’s. He was the one who wanted to stuff his face with food and eat like some hyperactive kid, but it didn’t actually affect the others in any way. He didn’t know how they could be annoyed with them when he wasn’t spluttering food everywhere, just Takeshi seemed to be nervous because he might get hit for him acting out instead. He wasn’t acting out on purpose, he was just rather hungry. Giggling at Takeshi he shifted on his seat happily, having a lot of fun even if it was just with food. “I know! I really like it here and I’m showing I really like it here. I love the food!” he squeaked happily, giggling as he raised his hands to his face, “Do you like the food? You should! It was made for you too!” Squeaking when Takeshi grabbed his nose he lifted his hands up and rubbed it quickly, shaking his head soon after before turning his attention back to Takeshi. He didn’t need to do that just to prove a point, especially when he was going to try hard to get what he wanted. “Ooh, do you know how to take care of them? Is nature not supposed to grow trees for us too?” T’charrl gave a nod, smiling a little. “It was only in a few spots when I saw the planet, but it was warm and I liked being on it, even if I didn’t see that much of it”. Granted at one point he nearly drowned, but he definitely enjoyed his time there more than the other planets. It was the least hostile apart from Haku causing him terrible pain. Feeling a little uneasy from thinking about it he looked back to his mother, raising his shoulders a little before looking down at himself. “I don’t think I mean to take to meat…I mean, well, it is really appealing now, but a bunch of other elements are to blame too. I cut my tongue on my teeth one time…that really hurt for ages. I feel really hungry most of the time too!” He didn’t want to be scaring his mother so he wasn’t going to get into any great details over it, just he wasn’t feeling too good over certain aspects of himself. Giving a little nervous smile as if joking over it he soon sighed and looked back to his plate, eating at his food a bit as his mother contemplated his reasoning to find these people, making him feel a little dumb for asking it. “I-I just thought…maybe if they saw me they might know the dangers of these powers and maybe…I don’t know, it would be nice knowing I’m not alone too. It’s just all my life ever since I knew everybody couldn’t do what I could, I’ve never felt a part of society. It’s just so easy to feel alone with this kind of thing, you know? Or maybe you don’t, I don’t know…” Viral was confused and didn’t know how to fix it, feeling that it was all his fault he was in this state. He was the one who tried to run away, he tried to be something he wasn’t and he was the one who got ultimately caught and dragged everyone into this mess. If he just stayed put he wouldn’t had started any of this and ultimately brought his existence to this moment in time. He did everything to deserve this and more, no one else was to blame. He definitely wanted to detach himself from the others if they wanted to work with Korian for their own good since he would only cause more trouble. There was no sense in keeping him around if he was just ruining everyone’s plans. Rubbing his head his eyes looked to Yumi, frowning as she continued to try and be a part of his world. He didn’t want her to be and didn’t think he belonged there, especially when it meant prosecution and no legal rights. “You’re a Human and you should hang onto that fact. Don’t think because someone tried to change you means you should follow their desire and accept it. You didn’t choose to be enhanced because of me and you shouldn’t identify yourself with that”. It was just one thing after another and he really wished it would just stop. Everyone was probably getting irritated by it too but he just wanted to be left alone to face his problems himself. There was no other way to fix things and it was obvious that the only solution was to try and figure it all out himself. Looking back when she touched his back he shifted a little, scratching at his neck roughly. They didn’t know if the Namekian dragon could bring back Aito successfully after so long or whether he was simply hiding his resentment for what happened until he was finally alive, especially when Vegeta’s family was still a sketchy bunch at best. If they could create a living weapon like him and brush it off like they just wanted to create life then there were a lot of questions that were left unanswered so far. “I don’t remember the man other than what I saw in that portal. He is still a stranger to me”, he spoke calmly, sighing as he rubbed his neck, “It’s the same as being told…it’s safe to bet a lot of money on a ring fighter just because someone you know says they will win and make everything better for you, only this bet will cost everything…something like that. I don’t know what you Humans regard as important and personal…”

“Ooh! I am a monkey! Ooh!” Shu giggled, bouncing on his chair a little before slowly sitting down again, smiling cheekily, “I’m okay! I just love eating!” Shoving some food in his mouth in a fairly uncivilised manner he quickly stopped again when he couldn’t stuff in anymore, generally having a lot of fun with Takeshi’s annoyance over it. He knew how much he could manage and was well acquainted with food already so choking on it wasn’t going to be a problem. Shu was definitely someone who knew how to handle his food but was definitely trying to tease Takeshi with his lack of table manners. If he could get some of this fruit grown for himself he would be pretty happy, his hope that he might have all sorts of yummy fruits definitely making him feel pretty bouncy. He wondered if Takeshi would let him have some of them, even if Earth was still so far away. If they knew how to do that instant transporting thing that his idol Goku knew then that would be amazing, even if it was generally limited to places he could remember. “Ooh, I will! I’ll learn how to and I will look after plants! I would have something to be happy about that I helped make possible. I don’t think I have that feeling yet…” T’charrl gave a smile, lowering his head a little. “Well, they apparently don’t need many trees, I guess. Maybe it’s because they can’t do much with them. They seem to like to build with stone more than around trees”. He didn’t really understand it or why there was such an appeal towards rocks over trees but it was a different culture. “They really like their meat over there and fruit was hard to find sometimes. All that meat made me feel fat, sometimes…” He didn’t get to experience what the white stuff was but it was apparently dangerous to him considering he wasn’t allowed on the planet that was covered in it. There were so many dangers out there and he didn’t quite know how to deal with all of it but he would surely find a way to shield himself from the harsh weather. Hearing his mother’s conclusion over the use of energy he gave a little nod, sighing slightly when it simply meant he was going to just act like he usually did, not seeing it as that big a deal. Garesh was his reason as well to keep the energy hidden, but he did think he needed to find something out himself too. “Uhh, about my powers too…we should probably try and find others who might have my abilities. There could be many my age out there but we don’t know about. We should find them and let them know they’re not alone too or before they get killed for it”. Viral was probably a lot more bitter about Korian than Korian was towards himself, seeing how he was the victim here. He didn’t see the problem with him killing those soldiers even though he couldn’t exactly tell what he was doing and he was the one who was punished and humiliated all because of this man. He couldn’t trust Korian, especially if he was to be in charge of his future if he was to ever become a Commander under his lead. He wasn’t going to let that man take control of him. Looking to Yumi he let out a grumble at her misunderstanding, not seeing how she couldn’t see what he meant by ‘his kind’. “Just us? You’re not a Beastman. I mean artificial beings…experiments, androids, creatures who weren’t of natural birth! Do you understand?” he spoke before sighing, rubbing his head, “You can easily pass off as an alien or just a fan of fluffy ears, you know. There’s nothing wrong with you”. He didn’t want Yumi thinking she was any different just because she had some ears, especially when they could easily be disguised or make her just out to be an alien of some kind. With him it was quite blatant, especially when his energy signature was completely hidden from natural beings just like all unnatural beings suffered from. They could easily be spotted out just with a quick scan. Feeling a little overwhelmed by all this negativity he sighed as he slowly rubbed his head, slowly shaking it as if trying to rid himself of the pain. “It’s awfully easy to have hope when you’re not the one inflicted by it. I have been able to handle a lot in the past, but this is so unknown. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Who knows if I’ll become immune to the treatment or if my genes reject it; I just don’t know, anything could happen. It’s too hard to distract myself from it…”
