No matter how many times she keeps calling this "a tactical retreat", Caulifla couldn't blast away the feeling of degradation. Mostly submerging herself into the stream, lying flat on a raised rock, she looks into the sky with disgust. She was practical winning against that dragon, the coup de grace in her grasp, but then she transformed and now Caulifla's lying her "enjoying the sights". Like hell, she's afraid of that form, but she's also really weak now.
Almost a half hour has passed, and the Saiyan still contemplates in her water bed. It's going to be another loss on her hand, isn't it? If she couldn't even finish this fight with Tohru, how is she going to asspull her way into defeating Perfect Cell? And then there...
For a couple of minutes, Kale was genuinely worried that she got lost. Caulifla couldn't be heard anywhere, just some wind rustling and falling tree branches. Kale would have panicked if she didn't spot the scatter plot of a blood trail leading somewhere. Actually, she panicked but tried to control her breathing as she followed the trail to the sound of a river stream.
To her shock, she spots Caulifla partly submerged and laying still on the ground, prompting Kale to rush over to her side. Thankfully, she's still alive, albeit mildly irritated.
"Sis! I'm so...are..you...are you okay?"
In a very deadpan manner, Caulifla's eye rolls towards Kale's face.
"Ah...eh...I-I'm so-sorry! I...I brought you a towel!" Kale awkwardly wrestles the towel in hand as she slowly raises Caulifla's back from the ground and wipes her down.
"How...appriopate..." Caulifla mutters as she looks aimlessly into the forest.
(While he does register Koata going into a room, Michael turns back to face Kora.)
If you've taken them, then where the hell are they?
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Desperate enough to put everyone's lives in jeopardy by taking on the power of an incomplete weapon?!
Knowing full well that your mother said that your current body isn't that stable either?!
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!
(She nods) Of course. I'll leave you to it.

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Main Room - Genos
Genos was leaning against the wall next to the stairs, hanging on every word of the argument.
That didn't take long.
He nearly vaporised the wall in surprise when Kora casually mentioned that she had consumed them for energy.
He needed to work on his self-control.
After the initial shock wore off, he realised that something about her inflections were off.
She was lying.
His brow furrowed in confusion. If she was not the culprit, who was? Was she covering for someone?
He shook his head at these questions. He had only picked up half a conversation, so he couldn't really speculate.
But interest overtook him, and he walked back upstairs.

The female Saiyans return to the ring area, with Kale getting used to bridal carrying the worn-out Caulifla, as Caulifla is in the middle of a rant. She complains about Tohru wasn't taking the match seriously, how draining her transformations were, how she needs more techniques, all the ways Perfect Cell would have screwed up her plans in her current state, and most important, how Kale interrupted her match.
Kale is feeling pretty bad herself, especially for allowing Caulifla to take this "sparring session" into brutal beatdown just to prove "who's stronger". Her boss didn't even want to quit, she would have rather remained injured and wait out her fatigue than taking a break! Though there's a large part of her that feels bad for doubting her mentor's skills. Maybe she shouldn't have intervened....
"Kale! Your turn! Fight him!" Caulifla orders, point her finger straight at Kinnikuman. Kale is noticeably hesitant, switching her gaze between Kinnikuman and Julieta, then Caulifla.
