Gogeta Jr.'s glare trained onto Panich immediately, remaining silent during her response. His eyes darted over to Brachi's addition, letting out a small amused chuckle shortly after.
"So the stories are true then. The real reason why you go about, leaving messes in your wake is because of your inability to put down your pride even for a single minute."
He scoffed once more.
"Let's look at what's been said here: this arrogant piece of work-"
The Saiyan gestured towards Panich.
"-implies that because she's powerful, she can't be bossed around. Do you truly believe that you would last ten seconds in this universe, with Arcann and Vaylin ready to put you in the dirt the moment you showed up in their sensors? We've been fighting this war for over twenty years; we are the ones who know how to survive against them. You, however, are simply an arrogant and foolish punch jockey, ready to get slaughtered by a force you have no idea how to even fight against."
His attention then turned towards Brachi.
"Then we have you, committing to her arrogance and nonsense, but start preaching about fixing your mistake because we both need each other."
Gogeta Jr.'s eyebrow raised in a slightly mocking manner.
"Do you just spew whatever self righteous thought that comes to your mind out into the open, hoping you can always have the perfect answer to everything? Do you not see how much you just contradicted your own little attempt to justify yourself by claiming I made mistakes? You are the only ones here that have made mistakes and caused this universe to fall in the grinder; I've been the one trying to fix it all while you've been getting your beauty sleep!"
He soon straightened up, keeping his strong glare.
"I'm starting to get the opinion that maybe I did make one mistake, though. And that it was actually caving to Junior's plan to rescue you at all; the universe would probably better off without you running around, mucking it up for people like Arcann and Vaylin to seize control over."
Vegetto glanced down slightly, his own eyes narrowed.
"Alright, that's enough of this..."
The Potara fusion held a frown, glancing among the group.
"I won't speak for the others, but I'm well aware of the damage I've caused. I did what I thought would make the universe a safer place, and it's clear it only made it easier for Arcann to seize control. Regardless of how close I came to making that perfect society, there will always be people like Arcann to take advantage of the system. That's why my Empire failed, and why it will always eventually, fail."
Gogeta blinked, watching Vegetto drop his arms.
"For the others, their mistake was rushing into a situation too quickly along with myself. Our recklessness put the universe in jeopardy, and for twenty five years, people have suffered for it. That's on us."
The fusion then turned towards Panich, nodding once to her.
"It's our responsibility to fix it, and they have a right to be upset with us for causing all of this in the first place. We owe them our lives for the rescue, and we should give them the respect they deserve."
================
Vegetto Jr. kept a frown, having turned his attention away from the argument to Jaz.
"Don't worry about me Jaz."
He broke out into a small grin.
"Dread won't be able to hurt me as long as you're watching my back, right?"
His eyes then turned up to Kire, having watched Jaz fall asleep with a smile.
"Yeah, although she's perfect the way she is..."
The Saiyan hybrid blinked rapidly, shaking his head.
"Purely beauty and not sexual at all...mind you."
