[Action at and around the Bay]

[spacetarzan]

[It was a relatively calm and normal day, but that wouldn't last past noon as an explosion echoed throughout the area surrounding The Bay. A certain eight foot tall man had woken up, crammed in one of the pods and immediately blasted his way out. The effect on the surrounding area was minimal, more sound than damage. Of course anyone with the ability to sense Ki levels would probably TASTE the spike in Ki following said explosive sound. But aside from the actual pod, the only casualties of the explosion were the items in the pod with him.]

[A few moments after the explosion, a large shirtless man, scars adorning his chest, face, and arms would stand at the entrance of the bay, looking out on the citywith a look in his eyes reminiscent of a wild and scared beast, uncertain if they should leave the relative safety of the cave.]

[Bulla's on duty as Deputy Guardian when she feels that massive spike in ki. She's conscious of how poorly this could potentially go for her, but it's also her responsibility to investigate.

Cautiously, she flies over and spots the man, and immediately, she can't help but notice that his features look distinctly like a saiyan's. The next thing she notices is his body language and expression. Despite all of that power, he actually seems scared.

She touches down to the ground about ten feet away. Close enough to talk, but not so close that she's invading his personal space.]

Hi there. Are you all right? I know it can be pretty scary to just find yourself here all of the sudden.

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[Broly spots the approaching Bulla and adopts a lower stance, ready to spring at a moment's notice. There was something... familiar about her aura, but Broly only has the vaguest of ideas about how to sense ki or identify someone based on their ki, and even that is muddled in the battle haze that was his fight with Goku and Vegeta. Still, he can sense some sort of strength in her and is immediately on guard.]

...Where is this?

[Even as the hologram in the background delivers its spiel about the cities.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla takes care to keep her hands down by her sides. They're in plain view, but combined with her not powering up and her calm tone of voice, she's doing her best to not come across as threatening.]

This is Genessia City. I'm a deputy guardian. It's my job to help and protect people here, including new arrivals.

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[That doesn't seem to give him much in the way of comfort, but he's still not being aggressive in his body language.]

How did I get here? And how do I return?

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

Unfortunately, nobody knows. Not even the people who have been living here for years.

[Which she gets isn't all that reassuring, but she's trying to be honest.]

Oh...um. Time is different here than it is back home, though. So if there was something important you were doing back home, don't worry. Everything will be fine.

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[He just squints his eyes at her. He isn't exactly... trusting at the moment. With the blur everything that happened on Earth was, and Paragus' death being... suspect at best, he's not keen to take anyone's word for anything.]

How do I know you're not lying to me?

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

You could ask other people about the time thing. You'll have been given a device that will let you go on the network, and it's not like anyone will know you talked to me. The network will let you send out a message to everyone who's been pulled here from other worlds.

[She might as well try to explain the basics since it's evident he probably hasn't listened to the hologram.]

I don't even know who you are, so I don't know why I'd lie to you.

[Goku had been heading to one of the restaurants in Genessia City when he felt a wave of ki rush over him. It was a large amount of energy by any standard, even his own, but it was unfamiliar and it wasn't the sort of skin-crawling evil energy that someone like Freeza would put out.

Most people would wait to sense what was going on, or give this newcomer time to get used to their surroundings, but Goku... has already used Instant Transmission to go directly to the source. He appears right behind Broly, which probably isn't the best place to show up unexpectedly.]

Hi! You must be new here, huh?

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[Popping in behind Broly isn't a good idea, Goku. His first instinct at feeling the presence behind him is to send a mountain crushing backhand as he spins around. Regardless of whether or not he connects, he's going to blink a bit before lowering his guard.]

K-Kakarot?

Re: [Action]

[4starsaviour]

Whoa!

[Goku manages to get his arms up in time to block, though the backhand still sends him flying back into the cave wall, embedding him in it momentarily. He doesn't seem to mind, though - if anything, he's impressed!]

Well, most people call me Goku, but yeah, that's me! So are you a friend of Vegeta's? [After all, Vegeta's the only person who calls him that.]

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[He just looks at Goku, cocking his head like a confused puppy.]

N-no... that's what you told me to call you. Though to be honest, I do not really know Vegeta... only what Father told me about his father.

[Action]

[4starsaviour]

Oh, okay! It must be one of those time things. They're pretty confusing - I knew someone who was a baby back home, but she was a lot older when she showed up here! [Hopefully Broly's not expecting a clearer explanation, because that's about as good as Goku can do.]

Well, if I told you to call me Kakarot, then you must be all right! Nice to meet you! ...again.

Re: [Action]

[spacetarzan]

To be honest, I don't remember much of what happened when Frieza brought us to Earth.

[He scratches his head head a bit.]

Last thing I really remember is father telling me to kill Vegeta... and seeing him die.... and then waking up on Vampa...

[Action]

[light_of_willpower]

[The spike of ki had Trunks instantly on alert. It wasn't familiar, and it was strong. Not exactly what he'd been hoping for, that afternoon--but oh well. His errands in the city could wait as this was likely more important.

Quick to the air and the Bay, and blinking as he let himself float down to the ground. Was that...maybe he should've called Nappa? Trunks was guessing 'saiyan' most likely. It was the fear though, the wariness and look in the eyes, that had him making sure his moves were obvious.

Making noise, hands kept low but where they could be seen, and a hint of smile on his face.]

Hey there. I know this is all confusing, and not likely what you were expecting--but it's okay. Waking up in there can be disorienting--are you alright?

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[The familiar feeling ki only put Broly on guard, considering the decades of hating Vegeta that had been drilled into his head, even if he didn't really understand why the familiar feeling was putting him on edge.]

...Where's Vampa?

[Not going to answer directly, just going to ask his own questions.]

Re: [Action]

[light_of_willpower]

[Does Trunks' ki> really resemble his father's that much? That'd be new information and interesting to know. But it's definitely a matter for another time. He's still keeping himself as non-threatening as he can.]

I'm sorry, I have no idea who that is. Could they be back in the bay, in one of the other pods?

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[This is quickly turning into a worst case scenario thing for Broly. The only real comfort being that Trunks doesn't know what Vampa is. He can't be part of the Frieza Force, as after the beating Frieza got Broly is fairly certain Frieza's army has orders to steer clear until the emperor can take his revenge.]

How do I get off this planet?

Re: [Action]

[light_of_willpower]

Unfortunately, I have no idea. Neither do most of the people here, including several of us looking into that very question.

[Talking is good right? Trunks will relax a little bit more.]

[Action]

[spacetarzan]

[Normally, Talking would be good. ...If Broly didn't have a couple friends that couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag that - as far as he knew - were alone on a planet of giant tick beetle things.]

I can't stay here. I have to get back to Vampa.

[Unfortunately for Trunks, Broly is no longer interested in taking the answers Trunks is giving him. The idea that Trunks is stranded here too hasn't even crossed his mind, so he's just going to draw himself up to his full height and take a few steps to close the distance between him and Trunks, looking as intimidating as possible.]

Take me to whoever is in charge. Now.

[problemagus]

( Whatever energy source he's feeling, it distinctly isn't mana. But it is typical for Kiritsugu to wander about the bay, a task he designates to himself as if to help stragglers from time-to-time.

The spike in power does set him a little on edge, it's true, as does the explosion. Nothing he couldn't handle if it came down to conflict, but that isn't his goal here.

For now, he'll just pace around the bay. Watching, observing... Ah, those scars. )

Don't suppose you could use some medical attention.

( He's not the best at making idle chitchat, and his tone-- as ever, is muted at best. But it was a fair assumption. )

[spacetarzan]

[Broly lowered his stance slightly, giving Kiritsugu an appraising glare. His features looked almost Saiyan, but he couldn't sense anything from the man. Even Paragus had an aura Broly could sense and he was considered very weak by Saiyan standards. More of a tactician than a fighter. Of course, Paragus drilled it into his son that even without brute strength, Saiyans were still dangerous.]

I'm fine. Who are you?

[problemagus]

( Kiritsugu, meanwhile, does not show any apparent changes in his expression. In spite of the power he radiates, he doesn't give Kerry any cause for concern. To him, Broly appeared perfectly amicable-- for the time being. )

You may call me Kiritsugu. ( His lips purse, as if they longed for a cigarette. ) I serve as a Deputy Guardian in Nova City.

( He's still amazed he claim this, honestly. )

Is there anything I can help you with?

[spacetarzan]

[That just gets a bewildered look. There were three other Saiyans alive that Broly knew about. This guy definitely isn't Goku or Vegeta, and isn't Gohan. So... how? Also that title just kinda flies over Broly's head.]

....I don't understand....

[problemagus]

( Considering the explosion earlier, he's assuming Broly either blew up the hologram or passed by it entirely. Figures. )

This world pulls its inhabitants from any world or time. But I'm sure this is all bewildering to you.

( He mutters, considering to himself. )

Are you hungry?

( This is said in the flattest tone imagiable, but he doesn't mind treating him. )

[spacetarzan]

[A saiyan body the size of Broly's requires constant fuel to keep going. As a result, he could eat an entire planet's worth of supplies. It's only the foul taste of Vampa's tick creatures that bought their continued survival.]

Very hungry.

[Not even going to attempt to brain the rest of that.]
