[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.]

[The talk of grudges gets Broly to really think - something he's not entirely used to just yet. He had no real interest in his father's grudge, but at the same time not holding a grudge felt... wrong to him.]

My father was driven by a grudge for nearly.... [He stops to think, trying to do the math of Vampan years to Saiyan years, which takes a couple minutes.] ...45 years? It was the only thing that drove him. To have me kill prince Vegeta.

[He pauses, only belatedly realizing he's talking to Vegeta's daughter.]

I don't really have any interest in pursuing that grudge. It just feels... wrong to not have that drive.

[If she's alarmed by that, it doesn't show in her facial expression. Instead, she's thoughtful.]

Maybe it's just that your drive and reason for fighting is different rather than absent. For me, I want to fight to protect people. I don't really care if I'm the strongest around, as long as I'm strong enough to do what I need to.

[And recent events plus nightmares of dangerous beings from home have reinforced that she is not at that level yet.]

Your reason for fighting might be protecting others, too. You stood up for your friend, so it's not like you have no drive to fight. Love is just as valid a reason to fight as hate.
