"The Guardian of our Earth took your criminals, so called, and found for them a higher purpose! Tampering with reality-! If she conspired to anything, it was to save Earth, her duty! And certainly far less than you and your friends, who aren't even from here might I add, decided to come in and run the show!"
"...okay, Koorimaru was always a jerk, but even he was in the process of turning things around! His unique circumstance also just so happened to be our only way of knowing what the Remnant wanted, an eye on the inside! Maybe it was purely selfish, but he returned the Saiyan Guardian, Maiz before your actions made his transformation into Inda'ren's vessel complete!"
"I object, severely. Maybe it's a little foolish in some cases, but even for their sake, you're damn right I do!"

But that was a lifetime ago, before he met them. He found a lover, a brother, friends beyond the stars, and across even time.
"That's nothing more than serial condemnation. Where the hell is the logic in that?!"
