Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu stared up at Takeshi, not too confident that it would help. It was rather difficult to get to sleep when it was pretty bright so that would be a big problem for the pair of them, especially if they turned in the dark and a light shone in their face. He was pretty worried that he would make Takeshi upset by keeping him up with the lights, even if he did sometimes wake him up anyway whenever he had a bad dream. “Toys…? But then what do we do if we want to train…? Go to other room? Seems hard…” He wasn’t trying to make excuses but he didn’t want to make anybody angry by not sleeping in the typical rooms when he was just having some bad dreams. He was scared that people would get angry at him for taking up room that he didn’t need to be in. Not really feeling too sure to how he was supposed to help this nightmares he stared at Takeshi with a frown, feeling just as confused as anybody else regarding how to fix them. “I like cuddles, they make me feel better…” Pressing his fingers together as he watched Takeshi he squeaked a little when he was suddenly pulled in, almost falling over into him when Takeshi attempted to give him a cuddle, or at least he thought that’s what it was. Staring up at him for a moment he sighed a little, shaking his head. “I don’t think this is helping, even if it is nice…” he sighed, wiggling to try and sit up properly, “I like it, but it’s not feeling like it’ll help. Maybe it’s a waste of time talking about this stuff. I don’t feel any better for it…”

T’charrl should probably try harder to get people to talk to him and want to be around him, especially when he was the only alien of his kind of the ship. There were other aliens besides them, but they were workers and had friends of their own. He needed to cut out the bad habits first, however he was supposed to do that. He always had a problem making friends so he didn’t have the experience they all probably did. Watching Yumi he gave his neck a slow rub, tilting it slightly before giving his claws a look at as if checking for dust himself. He didn’t think Yumi had any problems even when telling him about them, but then again he never really saw her battle if at all. Feeling a little silly when everyone’s habits weren’t really known to him. “I guess so. I don’t know about you, but becoming a big slobbering beast is a little hard to admit is a part of me. It makes me scared, especially when I am already the mo-uhh…that thing. It’s hard to admit that it’s just a little problem, I guess…” he sighed, “Maybe it likes the travelling, but I can never ask. It don’t even think it shows itself when it can all that much to ask it. I guess my biggest worry is hurting it in some way. Just because it’s a spirit doesn’t mean it can’t feel pain or have its feelings hurt. It was once a person itself before ascending, after all…”

Shu didn’t really want to talk about this anymore even if Takeshi might want him to talk a lot. He was sure he was not able to resolve it this way even if he tried, but he was still willing to show it wasn’t going to happen even if he did will it to be so. He was always going to be scared about revisiting these memories, but it wasn’t as if he was going to be able to find a way to get rid of them if he was openly talking about them and be reminded that they happened. Feeling pretty terrible and jumpy he stared up at Takeshi with a frown, rubbing his hands together quickly as he searched for a solution. The biggest problem he found when trying to sleep was feeling cold, but he was sure there were other problems that he hadn’t quite thought about yet. “Really…? But….wouldn’t it get really dark too? Big empty and dark…” he mumbled, feeling a little lost to what he wanted. He didn’t think it wasn’t worth trying out a bigger room but he was still worried that it might cause further problems too. He curled up when he slept and the thought of being out in the wide open just brought out the survival instincts in him to find cover. Certainly finding it hard to figure his way around this all himself he looked to Takeshi, staring at him as he spoke, tilting his hea a little before he looked down at his hands. “It does help, but then you wouldn’t get sleep. I don’t want to make you not get sleep too…” he sighed, glancing back up at him, “I really like cuddles! I feel safe, all cuddly and safe…”

T’charrl knew Yumi meant well but if there was something bothering others about him then he would still step aside and try to not bother them with it. He was pretty sure he was going to end up alienating himself further with his actions, but the comfort of his friends was his priority. It shouldn’t matter if he was going to be uncomfortable if he knew others didn’t like getting his dust all over them. “I know, I know…I’m still sorry. I mean…I don’t even know if my dust is dangerous yet. Doesn’t help my wings give off the most…”If someone was to break out in a rash then that was just going to be even worse, but luckily nobody had yet. Feeling a little itchy himself he rubbed his arms with a sigh, gasping a little when Yumi decided to touch him again. Looking to her hand quickly he frowned, looking back to her with a sad smile. She was trying to help him and for that he was thankful, but he didn’t want her getting uncomfortable too. “We’ve got to fight those Saiyan aliens too though, right? That’s the most important plan right now. I have the, uhh, connection thing to my family too”. He certainly didn’t want to hurt his friend’s plans just because he was feeling uncomfortable, especially when it was something he’d probably get over anyway. Staring at Yumi as she spoke about her experience with Ki he smiled when she laughed, looking like he was trying to imagine it happening. It was probably for the best that he kept it, but he did have some problems with his current situation as well when it came down to it. “I might always be afraid of it, but I will try…” he sighed, giving a little nod, “I just can’t get over some parts of it…like how it feels like it’s going to happen suddenly and I can’t do anything about it. Then there’s the spirit and how uncomfortable it must be…I mean, it can’t even do anything unless my mind isn’t clear. It must be depressing…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu really didn’t like talking about any of this stuff, finding it all to be way too hard to recall when it just meant trying to recall pain. It all probably didn’t sound as bad as he was making it out to be but the sessions where they’d try to force it out of him often involved a lot of crushing pains and being unable to breathe. He often suffered broken bones but it wasn’t often that they’d give him full treatment after when it meant he was just going to get stronger with each hardship faced. Even if he was one of the King’s sons they weren’t interested in making him stronger, just more concerned with getting his other self to show up so they could experiment on that instead. It only brought him bad memories of forced anger and mauling of many soldiers that tried to capture him and hold him down for experimentation. Feeling all shaken just from recalling those memories he tried to make the memories go away, getting all shaky before Takeshi immediately put his hands on his shoulders, his eyes immediately going up to Takeshi before looking away, rubbing his hands together nervously. “I know. I know! I know…” He didn’t know how to calm himself down, especially when his ribs were feeling sore just from thinking about it. Getting all scared again he squeaked when Takeshi brought him in for a hug, feeling a little frightened but certainly not enough to start squirming all over the place too. Sighing when Takeshi let him go he raised his shoulders when his hair was ruffled up, looking up at him with a little frown. “Maybe…? I don’t know, wouldn’t it be cold? You won’t be comfy either…”

T’charrl frowned at the reasoning for people not wanting to touch him, looking down himself before rubbing his arms quickly. It wasn’t something he could control and he was already sensitive about it, but knowing that people didn’t like touching him because of his nervous problem it made him feel bad for wishing for such interactions in the first place. “I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry…i-it’s a nervous condition! It doesn’t help I’m covered in fur either…” It certainly made him feel bad that he was constantly coating his friends in dust, but now he was also worried that he was leaving it around in places where they might sit down or rest only to annoy them later by getting them covered in it. Looking around his room as if looking for the dust his eyes soon went back to Yumi, sighing a little. “It’s a natural trait of my species. I just wish they wouldn’t hide it. It doesn’t help that I take in their emotional energy in Space because there’s no other natural sources of energy. Even if they don’t realise, it’s hurting my growth…”He was feeling confused to what he really wanted out of everyone now, generally feeling it was best to keep his distance from them if he didn’t want to gross them out or to take in too much negative energy. He really wanted social interaction so he probably would like to talk to them if they wanted to interact with him. He was certainly feeling confused over his true desires, but he definitely didn’t want to cause a lot of problems for his friends by being disgusting. Sighing he gave a brief nod, understanding what Yumi was saying even if he didn’t like it. “I haven’t mastered a lot yet. I never did get the training I needed back home”, he nodded, frowning when Viral was mentioned. He saw the problems he faced and definitely didn’t wish for it himself. She didn’t really answer his question but then again it was probably asking too much from her when it was his power. “I guess so. I know they’re useful, it’s just…it’s the pain that’s maddening, the anger too. The healing is certainly handy, even if I can’t heal myself…I guess I just don’t know what I want, whether I want to keep it and use its strengths or abandon it because I’m a coward”.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu really hated talking about this sort of stuff, especially when other bad things was going on at the same time. He didn’t like getting upset so easily and this was definitely going to easily make him upset. If Takeshi was going to know anything then maybe he shouldn’t tell him the really bad stuff that he could remember, at least before they warped his mind and started to play around with his unique form and trying to get that out of him. They really wanted to make him change to control him and would try to achieve that with any way possible. A lot of the stuff he couldn’t remember, but he definitely felt terrible after waking up from such procedures. Shifting on the floor uncomfortably he pulled his feet together, looking away from Takeshi. He certainly wasn’t feeling better after saying only a few things, even if they were particularly mild out of the list of other things he experienced. Keeping his eyes off him he eventually looked back to Takeshi, taking hold of his tail for comfort. “Scares me the most…? Not being able to breathe…” he mumbled, shutting his eyes tight for a moment, “Squeezing me all tight, try and make me change…wrap me up in metal to stop me from moving so they poke me with needles…it hurt! It hurt a lot! Choking and squeezing and breaking…ah! No! I don’t like that! No know how to stop bad mind!”

T’charrl didn’t know if there was supposed to be a way to stop people from being so scared of him when he barely knew what he looked like when he changed, all except knowing he was large and growled a lot with big claws for hands. His vision often changed into something akin to pure anger and often shades of madness, but maybe that’s what they saw in him too and it made them terribly afraid that he might take it out on them. “Hmm, it would be nice too if I could believe it myself, even if it is true”, he spoke calmly, laughing a little nervously, “I-I mean, they barely want to touch me and when they do they always wipe themselves as if I’m dirty or something”. He didn’t really know what they were thinking when they did that but he always figured it was some sort of fear with only Shu not really reacting, but then again the kid did live in the wild for a long time. Staring at Yumi he blinked a few times, trying to figure out what an ‘ape’ was but was understanding what she meant. Maybe he was just being stupid, but then again Yumi wasn’t allowing himself to call himself stupid so it was a little difficult to think around that mindset. He was possibly worrying about nothing, even if that nothing always threatened to make him change and pull him away from his friends that didn’t like touching him. Sighing a little he flinched when she laughed at his worries, moving his feet back a touch. He didn’t know what that had to do with worries but should probably run with it out of politeness. “Uhh, yeah…he did travel around with me when we were out so I suppose you’re right there. It’s awfully difficult to get a read on how they feel when I can feel one emotion from them but they’re expressing a different one. I guess…I guess I just wish I knew what they’re really feeling and what they’re hiding from me”. He didn’t know if he was sounding rude or paranoid but all these hidden feelings and deceptive expressions really confused him, only hoping that he really wasn’t a monster in their eyes when he changed. “I’m not a monster, but…I am…something. It’s unnatural, not something we should had discovered and it nearly killed me. Is it even a benefit that it happens to me or is it a burden I should get rid of? Do I want to risk people fearing me, those who don’t know me? What do you think…? What do you think it is? What would you call my changes, everything I turn into?”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu gave Takeshi a little nod but he didn’t particularly want to talk about himself when there were other things to think about. His logic was the less he thought about it the less it bothered him, but he was not entirely sure whether it was a good idea to talk about stuff that really did bother him a lot whenever he was asleep. He tried not to think about the stuff before he went to bed but it always happened and it always made him jumpy or feel sore after waking up. He was sure it was because he was dumbed down when he was experimented on so everything was left in his subconscious. He didn’t know how to talk about a lot of the stuff other than treating them like memories. Feeling a little worried over talking about it he looked down to the floor before watching Takeshi stand up, his eyes following his finger to his nose. “I guess so…I just hate talking about it”, he sighed, rubbing his nose, “It’s just so hard. I don’t like talking about it because it makes me feel funny. They made my head hurt really bad, always pulling my tail, or it felt like they were…I don’t know what they were doing…everything was hard to see”.

T’charrl was hoping to get over it by himself, but then again if Yumi didn’t come along he probably would’ve changed out of sheer stress. He was scared of changing and everyone being disappointed in him because he couldn’t control himself. Even if they said they weren’t disappointed it always came out that they were in his mind. Staring at her as she spoke he lowered his gaze a little as he thought through her words, thinking through them. “I have…been trying...” he muttered, feeling a little better as he continued to find reinforcement. She was right; they always had been there for him and never abandoned him when things got bad, even that time when Takeshi fainted he still talked to him after whatever happened. Maybe he wasn’t as lost as he thought he was but there was still that problem with actually knowing what to do with his power. If he didn’t know whether he was wanting to keep it or not because it made him more powerful then what was he supposed to do. Finding it a little hard to think through it all he looked back to Yumi as she raised a finger to his face, staring at it before gasping as she actually pulled him into a hug. Nobody ever wanted to touch him, especially her considering the last time she did she dropped him in fright. Still feeling surprised he stared out for a moment, standing straight again when she let go. Tapping his claws together he shuffled his foot a little, giving her a smile. “Thanks…really. I guess I’m just scared of everyone becoming too afraid to touch me or speak to me. They really did say that?” he asked up before sighing lightly, shaking his head, “I just wish the King I visited didn’t call the form a monster when he told me what happened to another man like me. Shu isn’t a monster, his seems more natural, while mine is just…not. My biggest fear is I lose my mind again like before, but I can’t find it again. Something happened to me before and Takeshi, Shu or Haku won’t tell me what happened. I can’t remember what happened, but it was enough for Takeshi to faint…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu knew how Viral felt because he often felt it when he was growing up and could tell from his body language that he didn’t feel included. He did see Viral as a team player, even their father saw it since they put him in a position of leadership when he took control of his friend’s mind. “Uh huh. Mister Viral would not feel too good too. He like fighting, but no get to fight. Not sure what Mister Viral likes to do because he never gets to do anything he wants”. It seemed fairly simple but whether Viral would want to say what he likes to do was definitely a question he had to ask their friend, so long as he got better that is. He didn’t know how Viral was doing but he hoped it wasn’t worse or he would be pretty upset. He did wonder what Namek was like, but he was more concerned for his friend than that. Looking to Takeshi he gave a little smile when he explained his reasoning for fighting their father even if he was possibly ill himself. He thought it was strange logic, but then again it might be easy to fake an illness while Viral’s illness was very visible. Sighing a little he frowned when the topic seemed to turn to him, raising his shoulders when he was pulled in, letting out a squeak when his hair was ruffled. He didn’t really want to talk about that stuff but there wasn’t really a way to get out of it either. Staring at Takeshi he frowned, pressing his fingers together before he let out a light sigh, looking away. “Maybe a little. It’s no big deal, though. I mean…I’m not screaming anymore…”

T’charrl didn’t want to seem selfish, it was the reason he had hid away in his room in the first place. Everybody else had their own problems to worry about and they didn’t need to be a part of them if they didn’t want to. If Yumi had simply come in to talk to him about random things then he was being incredibly selfish by getting her involved in this kind of stuff that was all about him. Frowning when she told him off for calling himself stupid he pulled at one of his antennae, slowly stroking it as he looked away. “Sorry…” he mumbled, staring down at the floor. He didn’t want to make her angry by calling himself such things, but he really did feel like an idiot when he had no actual clue to what he was supposed to do for the good of himself and everyone else. Looking to her a little he frowned slightly, not finding a clear picture quite yet to what he was supposed to do. There wasn’t a lot he could do now that he was back in Space again, but he wasn’t going to blame anybody but himself for not trying to figure it out fast enough. “I just-…I don’t know…I’m so confused…” It was the same feeling as being lost in the forest with nowhere to go, just either one way or the other and neither were correct, just a distraction from the right path. Pulling at his antennae he gasped a little when Yumi walked up to him, staring at her before raising his shoulders as she patted his head. Staring at her as she spoke he looked down at himself, shuffling his feet slightly. “I hope you’re right about that. My people have never really been good at controlling our desire to fight and I don’t know if I’m capable of going mad like the General…” he spoke lightly before looking to her, giving her a nervous smile, “Thank you for believing in me, though. I wish I could figure it out somehow, I just don’t know where to start. I’m just scared, I guess…” Frowning into a sigh he soon twitched, looking to Yumi. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t talk so much about myself! I don’t even know much about you…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

It wasn’t hard to tell what someone was feeling when they were expressing it in their body language, but it seemed the others weren’t very good at doing that. Shu often saw how Viral was acting and how it wasn’t a case of him being grumpy and not wanting others. He always looked like he didn’t think he belonged, like watching as everyone else had fun talking while you just stood back and watched them. Feeling like that all the time would make anyone feel terrible about being dragged along and not have much to do other than stand around. Shu knew what it was like to feel excluded but he was willing to try and shove himself in and be a part of the group through learning. Tilting his head a little he let out a sigh, nodding quickly. “Mister Viral wouldn’t like that. He likes being strong, but he’s not strong anymore. It must be sad not to be included in fighting when fighting is best fun”. It was probably going to be an extra grumpy Viral they would be dealing with, but Shu could tell their friend would just be sad over not being included. “Maybe…should we ask Mister Vegeta? Then again would he want to talk about it? I wouldn’t want to talk about it if I was him, but he shouldn’t hide what might be. You might be too excited to fight him, though! Would you fight Father if he not feeling well?”

T’charrl gave Yumi a little smile, looking to the floor in slight embarrassment. He was sure he could learn more after all of this but he still wondered if he was taking advantage of an unknown force, something he shouldn’t be doing if he was able to avoid it. “I would really like to learn a lot about everything I can…that would be great”. He really needed to get a hold of himself before he ended up making a fool of himself, something which seemed to happen pretty often when he wasn’t able to fully concentrate, slowly giving his head a rub as Yumi laughed at him he sighed lightly, looking away. “He was just…trying to protect the ship from the rebels…is all…” Their friend would’ve probably been fine if it wasn’t for his people, but that was something he couldn’t control even if he tried. Trying to shake off the awful thoughts going through his head he looked to Yumi when she asked about him, looking down at himself quickly before rubbing at the orb on his chest. He didn’t know if he should burden her with his problems when they were pretty complicated, at least he thought they probably were when he was the one with the problems that were related to who he is and what he was. “I…just…ohh, I know I shouldn’t be thinking about all this. I am supposed to be keeping a clear head, but it’s really hard. I just keep thinking about my condition and how stupid I’m being with it”, he frowned as he rubbed at his arms, feeling rather uneasy, “All the work to try and get it solved and all I got was the name and what it does. I didn’t get anything done! Kept chasing dead leads…but…do I want rid of them? I don’t know if I want them or not, but then what the General said…ohh, am I no better than him?”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu really hoped that Takeshi was going to find happiness in Viral being well again and not just want him to get better so he could fight, but he did have a feeling that Takeshi really did care about him. He just wanted to know, especially when the guy had been afflicted with a bad body for a while now. He wondered if his friend would gain control of his scary forms again too, but then again he doubted it when that must’ve been a different case completely. He didn’t have control in his own scary form and Viral only seemed to have control when he was planning on using it, but if they came about spontaneously because he was in dire trouble then he would probably have to run. It was a wonder to why Viral could do such things, knowing he was created rather than born. His friend was always going to be a mystery to him but he hoped not too much of a mystery if he happened to lose his memories again like he seemed to after killing Vegeta’s parents. “Mister Viral does feel happy. I see him happy, even if he sometimes frowns when happy”. Listening to Takeshi’s frustration over Viral he frowned a little, shifting on the spot. “Well, once he’s better they won’t need to watch him, yes? Not sure if Mister Viral likes people, but even kitties like company, yes?” He didn’t know what was going to happen once everything was fine but he would think Vegeta would want some quality time with his parents and Viral might keep his distance because of what he did to them. He certainly wouldn’t want to be near someone he hurt. Pressing his fingers together at Takeshi’s words he let out a sigh, lowering his head a little. “Yeah, just...remember when he said he lost his memory before? Maybe it happen again because he’s got a lot of bad memories in his head. Maybe we can…umm…go fishing with him too. Will you fight him when he better straight away?”

T’charrl had to force himself to calm down now that Yumi was wanting to speak to him, especially when every impression he had of her was just from other people. He didn’t think she’d want to talk to him but she seemed nice enough, just so long as he didn’t ruin it by changing or something stupid. Even if he was treating his condition as if it was something rude it really didn’t matter if he had limited control, it was still bad manners to make someone upset because he changed when he could prevent it from happening. Rubbing his arms nervously he stood with his knees facing inward, giving Yumi a nervous smile. “I-I’ve been trying! I’m a fast learner…” He did worry in part to whether he had only been able to learn fast was because of the spirit, but he really didn’t want to put everything on the spirit and make everything out to be dumb luck. Sighing lightly he looked around to his bed, half thinking he should sit down but didn’t want to seem rude too. “Uhh, I feel better…sort of. I mean, not today. I’m just having a bad time right now…uhh! N-Not because you’re here! I’m just-…I’m just going to stop…how have you been? Why are you here? N-Not because I don’t want you here! Just…I…ohh, I’m sorry I’m being rude…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu didn’t know what he was supposed to feel right now, mainly because he really didn’t know what Viral was feeling himself to have a worry about him as much as everyone else. He really thought Viral was going to be fine because he saw him as strong and brave, but he did wonder whether he was being too naïve about this whole thing. He was worried, but he had more hope than doubt that Viral would never recover. Maybe if he kept up the positivity then Takeshi would feel more confident about his friend too, at least he hoped so. Giving Takeshi a little smile he slowly moved closer to him, nodding as Takeshi tried to understand his question. He couldn’t only want to fight him, there must had been more that he was looking forward to for when Viral was all better. Tilting his head a little as Takeshi continued to try and think of a reason he hiccupped when Takeshi finally decided to speak, tilting his head the other way before looking down at the floor as well as if checking to see what Takeshi was looking at. “Ooh. What will you do when he gets better? Will you ask for lessons? Will you make him feel happy? Won’t he need someone to talk to? Mister Vegeta is going to have his parents back and Miss Yumi is going to be with your friend a lot again, right? Who will talk to him? Will he remember us if his head is all funny…?”

T’charrl really didn’t want to be panicking since when he panicked he got scared and being scared and angry wasn’t a very good combination. He wished he’d moved faster when trying to find a way to get the spirit settled and find who it was before all this but instead he had to be stupid and go to places that really didn’t help it at all; sure, he knew what he had and that it wasn’t unique to him what had happened, but that didn’t help the spirit at all. It probably didn’t even know what he was doing considering it is never conscious when he was so all in all he had made very little progress. Rubbing his head as he walked around he tried to keep himself contained, not wanting to disappoint anyone before there was a sudden voice on the other side of his door. Jumping slightly he almost fell over completely, immediately reaching out to try and grab something before he managed to stabilise himself, standing up a little straighter. It sounded like Yumi but she barely ever wanted to chat with him, at least not like this. “Uhh! Y-Yes! Uhh yeah…I-I mean no! I don’t mind! You can come in…” He felt like an idiot for getting it all wrong and was probably just weirding her out, making him feel pretty stupid already. “I’m sorry…I’m still learning your language…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Shu gave Takeshi a smile back, feeling fairly happy that Takeshi was wanting to do things with him that didn’t involve just talking or trying to please him with playtime. He wanted to see what Takeshi did in his spare time and if he liked watching these movies then he would happily watch them with him, especially if it meant he was going to have fruit with it. He didn’t much care for that, especially when he saw it as an opportunity to relax with his brother for once. “I don’t mind. I want to know what it’s like. I just want to know more”, he smiled, raising his shoulders when Takeshi ruffled his hair. Things were going to get better somehow, he was sure of it; however, despite getting all happy and hopeful of the future he gasped when Vegeta called through the scouter, hardly expecting it to spring into life. He really didn't understand what was going on but he was immediately trying to recover his hearing by the time Takeshi was shouting. Yelping when he was grabbed he had no choice but to follow through, looking up at him before to his friend.

T’charrl was definitely finding it hard to keep his cool around this man when all he could do was question his family’s heritage and traditions, especially when it was so long ago. What he did was the now and not what happened in the past, especially when what happened in the past had been going on for generations. This man had no right to question his heritage, especially after what he did. Glaring at him he tried to keep his cool, especially when it was much too difficult to keep in control of his power when he got stressed. Listening to his reasoning he hissed through his teeth. “Relinquish? I was born into this position and my power was not stolen like you tried to do! What makes you think I am selfish when I never had a choice?? I am the one who will lead our people into a better future and I gladly accept that challenge! You can just sit there and watch the world pass by!” Not a moment too soon had Takeshi immediately called his name, looking around immediately before back to the General, glaring at him before he turned around. “I’m coming. I was done here, anyway…”

Viral could’ve said he had it worse if he was able to, but the tank deadened his nerves and gave him slight relief from his constant pain. He was still trying to fight what was happening to him with the cells implanted into him giving temporary relief from the struggle, but nothing changed. His body was still the same and while the sparks of energy had calmed down he still twitched and struggled with what was going on in his head. Sleeping for him was proving to be too difficult to accomplish, even just trying to relax was a completely difficult experience that only proved to give him mental suffering. It was a forced sleep and never a good option when struggling for sleep. He only did what he thought was right and was now suffering for it, his inability to control his pride probably costing him his health.

Shu didn’t really know what was going on but he was happy that they were going to get his fried help finally, especially when he hadn’t improved since being on Kaesstra. Maybe he had been able to relax a bit but his condition wasn’t getting any better, seeing how he wasn’t getting back to normal and still not eating with them. He was a little sad over his friend but he was trying to not let it get to him. He was more worried over his friend T’charrl with how he came out of the prison, only taking a brief time to say bye to his parents before returning to the ship. His friend was pretty dedicated to helping them out but he didn’t get the help he needed and that made him a little upset. He knew how much his friend wanted to find control and he still didn’t have it. At least he was going to be able to keep in touch with his parents better now that his nerves had calmed over what he looked like sometimes, but it still made him sad when he had to leave so soon. They really should had been trying to help him more, but unfortunately when they were so close to an answer their other friend’s suffering was slowly starting to lead to possibly his death. Sitting around with Takeshi he wiggled his toes as Takeshi mumbled angrily to himself, Shu kept himself calm by thinking positively, smiling at Takeshi. “Mister Viral will be okay! I’m sure he will be! Mister Viral is very strong, he’s not too different, right? Not yet, at least. I mean…friend will fight you soon”, he spoke slowly, trying to think through it all before he scratched his head quickly, “Do you only want to fight him? I mean…there’s more maybe, yes? I don’t know what Mister Viral does, though…”

T’charrl had gone back to his room for now, not feeling too confident in himself. While he was a little upset that he had to leave so quickly his biggest problem was he was no closer to knowing what he was supposed to do with his power, especially when he didn’t know if he wanted rid of it or not. He was scared of becoming no better than the General, but with the power he could protect the spirit and his people. He would no longer be vulnerable even if he knew how to use Ki, the spirit wouldn’t be disturbed again and he could continue to be near unstoppable in battle. What the General said was really getting to him, tearing his mind apart as he grew confused to what he actually wanted to do and what he was. His parents were very supportive, they didn’t care what he looked like and travelling briefly made him feel more confident about finding his form; however, all the stress the General caused him and his worry that he somehow managed to cause their friend suffering was really starting to get to him. That attack was probably meant for him and instead he ran off to a dead end only to be mentally kicked around by the General. Struggling to keep himself together he paced around his room, trying to force himself to calm down.
