Shu gave a little nod as they continued onwards, his mind not quite settled on the fact that they were basically looking for evil rather than finding it. Sighing a little bit as he looked around, the thought of the rock not actually being something they should sell confused Shu a little bit. The Queen had mentioned they should sell it which meant getting money, it would had been good to do that but if not then he didn’t know what the rock could be used for. He couldn’t exactly play with the rock, it was too awkward to play around with but he’d trust Takeshi in knowing what they should do with it. As they gradually made their way to the base, Shu came to a halt when prompted to, his eyes on Takeshi the entire time before it was safe for him to keep going. It was hard to understand, he was a Saiyan too but he needed to be told he could finally go through and see the General.
Shu didn’t know what to make of the General still, he wasn’t anything like the other one they had met and had a much colder air about him. Maybe that’s just what the military were typically like and the underground city’s one was just an exception. Slowly moving around his brother when they arrived, Shu stared at the General before letting out a squeak when he was noticed, his eyes going to Takeshi before he slowly moved behind him, tilting a little to see the General. Frowning a little at the insinuation that he wasn’t allowed to be here, he stared up at Takeshi as he spoke, knowing it was a lie but not exactly something they wanted the General to find out. Sighing a little, he moved a little out from behind Takeshi, nodding at the General, “S-Sorry if I shouldn’t be here, s-sir…”
There was very little that Viral felt he could say about it, his mind was in such a confusing place right now and he couldn’t actually fathom what he was supposed to feel about it all. Whether his memories were fake still confused him, he shouldn’t had been able to fall for false memories when he should had been smart enough to tell the difference. His main problem was what Vegeta had told him about what he did, he might had been able to handle his sudden mutation better if he hadn’t been told such a thing. There was so much still burned into his mind, the trial had just managed to break his mentality even more. He didn’t need to go into depth over stuff like that, maybe just speaking about a few of his problems was enough to get her to let go.
Yumi had said it quite plainly; he was the victim. He didn’t want to be the victim, he was supposed to be the one who would come out the winner but how many times had that actually happened. Letting out a mild groan, Yumi moved away slightly to look at him to which he felt quite a bit of regret for talking about his experiences. All he had managed to do was make Yumi upset, he didn’t want that to happen. Looking away from her he shook his head, letting out a sigh, “I’m not afraid…I didn’t want to die…especially to them…” he muttered, keeping his eyes off her, “Unless I’m just a walking corpse…hard to be certain…”
Just when he thought he was free to move around again, he was sure enough taken away off to another room, this time one where he could finally sit down and try to relax himself some more. Slowly sitting down on the couch, Viral let out a sigh and slowly moved his hand to the back of the neck, his eyes only getting to close to a moment before Yumi clang onto him again. He was feeling confused, he thought she was done with that but it seemed she still wanted to keep him close to her incase he tried to run away or something. Closing his eyes again after looking at her, he frowned as she spoke, feeling fairly uncertain about his own future at this point, “Strong…?” he questioned as if the very concept had become completely foreign to him. Opening his eyes to look at her, focusing on her hand holding his as she continued to try and comfort him, his mind not finding it too easy to concentrate on the positive side of this. There she was talking about how he was afraid again, he didn’t want to be considered afraid of speaking but rather concerned about letting others know about it. Letting out a groan he looked away again, his claws gently rubbing his eyes, “I can’t protect you, I’m weak…I am not as strong as you think I am”, he spoke, growling slightly, “Everyone is stronger than me, I can’t fight…I’m useless in battle, always losing. Since when have you seen me win a battle without coming close to eating my opponent? I can still taste their blood…the very thought of food disgusts me…even food defeats me! I can’t come out the winner, but I’ll sooner die in battle than cower and beg for mercy…”

Shu really had no idea what was supposed to be happening right now, it didn’t seem as if this would be going anywhere if they were going to wander around looking for someone to whom he had no idea what they even might look like. He did trust Takeshi, he didn’t think it wasn’t a bad idea; he just didn’t know how it was going to go and whether it would even be able to be called a successful search. Giving a little look around, he let out a sigh before his eyes went to the sky, just watching the people fly around up above. It wasn’t something he noticed when he had first arrived in the city, but that meant the person they were looking for could easily be up above them too. Scratching his head, he squeaked a little when Takeshi suddenly spoke up again, his eyes going to him instead, “Ooh? Okay! He’s really scary, though…” he said quickly, nodding a little, “If not, then maybe we can go back to the house…? Yumi and I were given a big rock and it’s apparently really good to sell for moneys…”
Viral didn’t mean to gradually become panicky, he had tried to be calm and deny everything but it was all forcing his way back to the surface and into his head again. He didn’t want it to be there; he didn’t need for it to be there and definitely didn’t actually want to talk about it. His eyes weren’t very focused, he was struggling to get his mind together and just wanted to leave. While he was trying to turn around and get away from her, she was already closing in and wrapped an arm around him to rub his back. He felt really uncomfortable, he wasn’t used to this kind of contact except for the hug he usually got every so often for doing whatever it was that initiated it. His arms were fairly out there still, he didn’t really know how he was supposed to react to this and sure enough she was not doing as he said and instead pulling him closer, this time his head going onto her shoulder. The pressure to tell her everything was fair great, he was feeling completely enclosed and probably unable to go anywhere else until he told her what exactly happened.
Viral was fairly stuck, his eyes looking to Yumi as he had a very mild panic attack. He wasn’t going to cry over something stupid, he didn’t want to shout around her when she was easily spooked. Groaning as he realised how stuck he was, he grabbed onto her arm, holding it as if for support in this awkward stance, “What…why? No…I don’t do such things…” he muttered, trying to pull away a bit but was unable to manage to get anywhere, “I don’t know why you want to hear such things! They did everything that was necessary…everything that you managed to avoid! Did it even happen or is it just a side effect…? They tested how well I could heal myself…or did they? Did they really tear into me and try to cut my limbs off? The searing heat of the sun to try and advance me…did they really do it or did I just imagine it as an excuse to try and kill everyone? Maybe…who knows…their words burning into my mind, going over and over again! I can’t get their voices out of my head! Probing my brain, damaging my spine on purpose…inventing that collar…I’m responsible for a whole new wave of forced slavery…”

It felt weird being back in this city again as opposed to the underground one, probably because the glowing veins and massive tree had left an impression on Shu more than this place ever did. It was fantastic looking, but it lacked that unique quality that came with the underground city. Giving a little nod to Takeshi, he looked around a little cautiously, giving the citizens as well a staring at just incase they were under suspicion too. He didn't like moving like this, he barely knew what he was looking for, "Umm...if there was someone who was bad...would they be outside?" he asked curiously, looking around before up to Takeshi, "I just don't know what I am supposed to be looking for, is all. These people look kind of the same to me, maybe this was a bad idea..."
Viral had little need to look at Yumi, knowing she'd drastically change her expression to something a lot sadder if she did take a look at him like everyone else did. He wasn't someone they should waste their time pitying; if he couldn't fight then that should had been that and move on with their lives, if he couldn't extinguish what had happened in the past then there was no reason to continue either. He felt so weak as Yumi continued to press on with it, even forcing her gaze upon his to try and get an answer out of him. He didn't want to revisit those memories, he didn't want them to bother him but the longer he was existing the worse they became. He had already managed to unlock a rather nasty part of him he previously had control over before when he let his past experiences get to him, he didn't need for it to happen again. Looking to her at her denial of his physical existence, he looked away again, slowly shaking his head, "Only four out of hundreds..." he mumbled, trying to pull his paw away, "You would call a pet rock a living creature..."
Before he could get anywhere without her clinging onto him, she suddenly moved in and embraced him in a hug, his arms moving up when she did. There was no way he was getting away from her now, she had him in a lock and struggling would only make it worse. He felt stuck, everything was beginning to press down on him hard and he was struggling to do anything about it to make her feel better. All she was doing as she tried to press on with the subject was bring the horrible memories back to him, pulling in all he had tried to bury deep inside. Lowering his head, he almost struggled to breathe, his chest tightening as the memories were just forcing their way back. Staring at Yumi as she spoke just made it worse, he could barely stand it and all he could do in response was take her by the shoulders and move so he was at arm's length as she became an immovable object, "Just-...just please stop. I can't do this, I can't reveal all when all that does is tear me to shreds! I am not weak...but I can't-...I can't do it. The voices, over and over...the burning and tearing; are these scars mine or artificial? These memories, are they artificial too?? Forgetting all and then bringing it back, just...what did I do? They always knew, didn't they?? Tearing it out of me...just who the hell do they think they are?? What are you doing...? Just-...stop it, will you...? Go lay down, make everything better..."

Shu didn't exactly have the mind to think about the consequences of what might had happened, he really didn't want to think about it at all. He probably would had been hated by an entire nation and by a relatively nice royal family when it all came down to it, he was glad that his brother thought otherwise despite his background with these sorts of things. While being in the city should had been something calming now that they were around the public, something about it made him very uncomfortable, like he was in a glass box with everybody peering in and yet there was nobody looking. Frowning a little, he looked up to Takeshi when he felt his arm come around him before he nodded, trying to force a smile, "Hopefully they're not jerks, I mean...seeing the people last time before the underground people was an alright experience", he spoke calmly, "I think the people are nice, but the ones in charge aren't. It seems weird when the Queen was the nicer looking one...I-I mean, she looked just as scary, but she was nice too...I-I won't talk about her anymore! I swear I won't, it's just...it was nice there..."
Viral did wonder whether he had done any good in telling her that, it was probably better than being told that she might have a hard time getting over it but when it all came down to it without some encouragement it would probably take a little longer. It must had been like going to the hospital to get rid of a painful problem while also causing pain after the operation, just with the fear from the thought of possibly never getting home left to deal with. Now that she was back with them she should be able to recover, it was only the fact that the ones who captured her were here that was pretty difficult to deal with. Just as he moved to turn away and leave her alone, her grabbing his paw caused him to come to a halt as he turned to look at her fairly confused. At first he wasn't understanding what was going on, but eventually she spoke, the expression on her face telling it all. Frowning, he let out a low growl as he looked away, definitely finding the very thought of revisiting those memories to be the worst possible thing to do, "Who says I even have emotions..." he mumbled, keeping his eyes off her as if trying to hide what he was denying, "Artificial creatures don't have emotions...what, are you kidding? Whatever they did to me doesn't matter, whatever happened after that doesn't matter...I don't see why talking about it would fix anything. I am just-...I should be out in the sun. I apologise if I made you unhappy..."

I apologise if I made you unhappy..."
Viral felt the tension straight off and didn’t actually know how he was going to deal with it if she got really angry at him; instead, she went straight for the house before he had even managed to get by the bushes. Grumbling away to himself as he forced his way through the shrubs as he stumbled away towards the house, just going inside when Yumi suddenly stopped him. All he could do was stare at her; it wasn’t exactly a question he could answer. Watching as she stormed off once again this time to the kitchen, he had set his mind on retreating to his room or at least somewhere else that wasn’t burdened with having to get angry glares from her. Moving off towards the room, he made a stop when she spoke up again, this time looking a little calmer but with a question that stung a little. Scratching his claws through his hair, he let out a sigh and looked away, shaking his head, “You’re probably feeling fear more than the pain they may had caused you, even if it was only for a few days”, he spoke, looking back at her, “They didn’t want you dead, they didn’t care whether I died or not. You’ll get over your fears eventually”.
Shu frowned a little and lowered his head, figuring they were looking to get the Prince back and take in the Queen. They sounded as if they had been awfully cruel to the Prince and killing anyone who got in their way was just pure evil, “Well, I’m glad you didn’t do it. Killing people is really, really bad…” he sighed, pressing his fingers together, “At least you know they’re not bad guys, they’re really nice people and really curious and with glowy stuff down there! They gave us gifts, even something worth a lot of money…” He didn’t like any of this, who knew how many people had died because of this conflict and the civilians barely knew what was happening either. Upon approaching the city Shu was sure enough feeling a little nervous, looking up to Takeshi for some support. Walking around on a tour sounded alright to him, a little smile appearing on his face before he nodded, “Okay…okay! Maybe we can see the people for what they’re really like…I mean, the people underground were really nice, maybe these people are nice too?”

Viral gave Yumi a quick look before letting out a grumble at her words, not exactly pleased that she was being stubborn. If she wanted to go on out and about by herself then she could, he didn’t understand why she had to stick around doing something she obviously didn’t want to do just because someone told her to do it. She was definitely weird, that much was certain, “This is why I don’t understand humans…I’m practically giving you freedom and you don’t accept it”, he grumbled, shaking his head a little, “Those Saiyans wouldn’t even think about taking me without everyone else knowing about it, you already know that”. It was tough trying to figure out how to make her the tiniest bit happy, he really had no idea how he was supposed to without having her moan and groan around the house just because she wasn’t getting out and being able to beat up the Saiyans herself. Looking up to the house as they approached it he gave his head a rub, he stared at her suspiciously before he looked away again, “What now?” he questioned her, feeling a little confused, “Time with me? You’ve had plenty of time with me and everytime you’ve just grown annoyed, I don’t think I could withstand whatever you might dish out because you’re frustrated with the Saiyans…”
Shu didn’t know how he was supposed to help himself when it came to bad memories, he was not at all confident with that since he had been trying to fend them off for so long. He was often left trying to figure out how to get rid of such memories with him trying hard when he was still all locked up, banging his head on the walls when it got too much. Frowning at the thought and giving his head a rub upon remembering it, he let out a sigh before looking up to Takeshi as he too questioned what they should be doing. It really was a curious thing, he didn’t know what they were after or what was being defended exactly. He didn’t feel much energy; it was only the Prince that spoke of energy and that was his own. Giving his head a scratch he bounced forward, looking up to Takeshi curiously, “What did he tell you to do? Did you do it? Would you get in trouble if you didn’t do it? The Queen was really scary but nice…she slapped her son right off the bed he was resting on! But then she gave him a hug, so I guess that was nice”.

Viral gave Yumi a suspicious look before he looked away, not exactly too thrilled with the fact that she was obviously very angry still. It wasn’t his fault, it’s not like they had encountered water yet that he could wash himself in nevermind his clothes. Not feeling like he should continue to press on with it, he continued to walk on with her without much of a second thought. He was fine with staying home if it meant looking after Yumi, that was the most he could do when he could barely fight or walk by himself anyway. Distracting himself a little, he was caught off-guard when she suddenly kicked a log, practically decimating it in the process. She might as well had given him a heart attack instead of doing that, it was probably less harmful and would do less damage. Looking back to her, he frowned a little before looking away, letting out a sigh, “You know, if you don’t want to go back to the home…then don’t”, he spoke, shaking his head, “Just because Takeshi told you to go home doesn’t mean you have to, you’re your own person so why not be just that and go and do what you want? It’s not like I can’t look after myself”.
Shu didn’t really know whether he should be talking about it, all it did was spark up some bad memories that he’d rather forget. He was able to do something to forget and that was to think of normal things and have activities with his friends and brother so that was good enough for him, his mind coming up with all sorts of distractions instead. When Takeshi suddenly came to a stop, Shu tilted his head slightly, staring at him curiously before he was brought in for an unexpected hug. He didn’t think talking about that stuff would result in a hug, it was a rather curious thing. Looking up to Takeshi, he frowned a little at first before nodding, his frown turning into a little smile, “I will, I don’t want to have them anymore”, he nodded, wondering just how that is done exactly, “I don’t know how you help something that’s in someone’s head, though”.
Once Takeshi let go of him he lowered his head a little only to bounce on his feet once Takeshi removed his hand from his hair, “Okay! I wonder what we’re going to find…I’ve only seen forests!” He did wonder whether his brother would be accepted into the city if he was to ever visit there again, it would be nice to see them and let the Prince see them again when he was better. He did wonder whether the Prince had any friends for one, the guy was awfully dead set on having them stick around for as long as possible. Shu didn’t think other Princes acted like that, but then again it might had just been what normal ones were like. As he continued on his way with Takeshi, he looked around as if trying to find clues before they had even got there, kind of like how they had just found the Prince in the forest, “What are we looking for, anyway? Are we just going to ask…? How do we do this ‘investigation’ stuff? I don’t know how to, you see…what happened if we found who it was straight away? What do we do then…?”

The twins kept their eyes focused on Shu, Choi a little more so than his brother. He was still fairly nervous about being close to that little monster; just because he spoke didn't mean he was actually not going to change into a ravenous monkey. The whole conflict sounded so simple too, it was probably really that simple and yet there was no way to blast through the people like they were paper. Oh well, Choi wouldn't want to do that anyway considering fighting a weaker opponent wasn't a fun fight at all. With the plan in hand and everything being sorted, they'd have to just rely on being able to see what might happen in the end and find this house and hopefully not the wrong one.
Viral wasn't having a very fun time walking, his legs were like jelly and his head was swimming so much after being knocked around. He might as well be underwater at this point, it would probably be more relaxing than this. He was still trying, at least, and hopefully he wouldn't end up collapsing either because that'd be embarassing. Continuing on with his silent walk through the forest with Yumi, he kept his eyes diverted as she spoke ill of the Saiyans. He didn't feel it was appropriate, he also had problems with loyalty at one point and at least these guys were conscious over what they were doing and not mentally controlled like he had been previously. Keeping his mind to himself, he only gave Yumi a quick look before down at his clothes, only to let out a sigh in return, "These are my new clothes you gave me after I changed back", he spoke, letting out a sigh, "Since when did you care about how I looked? Or is this just some weird human ritual to forget someone exists..."
Shu headed on after Takeshi, walking along side him while bouncing a few times. He didn't know what they were supposed to do, he did want to protect the people he met but there was a lot of innocent people in the city too who needed protecting. It was all a big muddle, but he was just going to go along with it and hopefully find out who was the corrupt one. Maybe the Prince would like to fight against the corrupt one and bring justice, but that all depended on whether the guy was actually strong enough to fight against them considering he was captured before. Letting out a sigh and looking up to the trees, he squeaked a little when Takeshi suddenly spoke up again, this time asking about a pretty sensitive subject. Frowning, he pressed his fingers together, his eyes diverted away, "I still have nightmares about it a lot and sometimes I feel really sick when I'm hungry which won't go away until I eat", he sighed, giving his head a shake, "I feel really lonely when I'm by myself...but I feel better when I'm with you or Yumi. It's really hard to forget, I still get really scared a lot for no reason...but everyone's different, right? I mean, not everyone who went through the same thing has the same bad memories, right?
Viral wasn't having a very fun time walking, his legs were like jelly and his head was swimming so much after being knocked around. He might as well be underwater at this point, it would probably be more relaxing than this. He was still trying, at least, and hopefully he wouldn't end up collapsing either because that'd be embarassing. Continuing on with his silent walk through the forest with Yumi, he kept his eyes diverted as she spoke ill of the Saiyans. He didn't feel it was appropriate, he also had problems with loyalty at one point and at least these guys were conscious over what they were doing and not mentally controlled like he had been previously. Keeping his mind to himself, he only gave Yumi a quick look before down at his clothes, only to let out a sigh in return, "These are my new clothes you gave me after I changed back", he spoke, letting out a sigh, "Since when did you care about how I looked? Or is this just some weird human ritual to forget someone exists..."
Shu headed on after Takeshi, walking along side him while bouncing a few times. He didn't know what they were supposed to do, he did want to protect the people he met but there was a lot of innocent people in the city too who needed protecting. It was all a big muddle, but he was just going to go along with it and hopefully find out who was the corrupt one. Maybe the Prince would like to fight against the corrupt one and bring justice, but that all depended on whether the guy was actually strong enough to fight against them considering he was captured before.

Viral was just going to go along with it, grumbling when Takeshi patted his shoulder as his mind wandered a bit; now, it was just the walk to the house left to do. The walk was just going to end up being the walk of shame for him, at least having been captured after wandering off. At least he wasn’t getting chastised for it, they probably didn’t even know that he ran off and just figured that they brought him here from the house. Looking to Yumi as she offered him her hand, he grabbed hold of it and slowly pulled himself up. He didn’t much like the sound of eating fruit, even if Yumi claimed it was delicious, “I’d rather not have any, thanks…” he grumbled, his hand going to his head. He just wanted to seclude himself when he got back, an act of shame for failing so badly. Retreating back to his temporary den was the only way to go for now, he’d be fine enough being left to figure out just where he was wanting to go with his life.
Shu felt a little sad that Yumi was heading off instead of sticking around, all the while she was taking the basket of fruit with her. Just as he was beginning to wonder whether the fruit would be gone before he got back to the house, he was soon met with the offer of one of the fruit before she could leave with all of it. Letting out a happy enough squeal when she tossed him one, he caught it and immediately gave it a sniff, “Mmmm yummy! Thanks! See you soon I hope…”
With Viral and Yumi heading off, Shu immediately began to eat the fruit all the while savouring it, his interest in the fruit more than the actual discussion. He didn’t mind the fact that the Saiyans were still here after the talk they had, he had more attention put towards the fruit instead. Moving around to sit near where Takeshi was, he munched on the fruit quite happily throughout their discussion, trying to savour it more than anything. He knew Takeshi would know what he was doing, he would be able to get a recap from him or just follow him along anyway.
While the twins were just going to have to listen to what was being said, but Kai didn’t exactly know how either of them were supposed to work together. It wasn’t a problem with working with his brother by default, it was more due to the fact that they had only just arrived on the planet and weren’t exactly going to be accepted by the citizens on the planet if they were to ever going to run into them. Watching Kabocha’s reaction to what Takeshi said before back to Vegeta, Kai smirked a little at the thought of those two working together. That should be amusing, it was probably not a very good idea but at least they weren’t going to be allowed to beat each other up in the meantime.
As Shu finished off his fruit and tossed away the core, he gasped a little when he realised he was supposed to be talking about the city underground and what happened this afternoon. Staring at Takeshi cautiously, he frowned a little before nodding, giving his fingers a lick, “Umm…well, the city captured a Prince from this underground city near here. He was stuck in there for a long time from what I heard him say”, he sighed, giving a little nod, “The city has a palace too, and a Queen…a really scary Queen…she’s in charge of the huge place! It’s really pretty and has a really pretty tree that’s keeping their city alive. It’s really neat, but they think the other city want to take over their city, so that’s a bad thing…and some ‘corrupt one’ the Prince spoke of too, I don’t know who they are, but they sound really scary…”

The twins didn’t have much to say on the matter, it wasn’t something they were experts in and they didn’t even know what the people on this planet looked like. It wasn’t something they should had been concerned in either, everything was just starting to collapse on them now. Whether they were going to be free or not was just another question, they had to try and trust Takeshi considering he promised them what felt like a long time ago. Kabocha seemed pretty confident, but he was always like that even when he was afraid of what might happen. If this all went according to plan then everything was going to be great for all of them, but one wrong move and they might as well be dead. It could cost them their father’s life, Kabocha could lose his parents too. They were in a tough spot, but Kai and Choi both tried to keep on a brave face while allowing two who wanted to kill them and their former team leader make all the decisions for them.
Viral didn’t want to do anything at all right now; he just wanted to be away from all of them. He wanted so much right now, everything that they took for granted. It was all feeling so far away from him right now, everything being taken away from him right up to his dignity. It was like a prison, except his bounds were invisible and not so easily broken. Keeping his attention diverted away from the others, his eyes barely moving when Takeshi came on over to talk to him. It wasn’t as if he had much of a choice to go back to the house, it was the only place he could go back to anyway. Letting out a groan, he shifted himself slightly to look away from him completely, “…Fine. It’s not like I can be anywhere else, after all”, he spoke, sounding a little bitter, “Vegeta would do a crap job; he couldn’t even watch out for me after everyone decided to leave”.
