He offers him a friendly smile. What was going on in that head of his? The Saiyan looked like who's being ruled inwardly by his emotions, so the human-saiyan hybrid asked, “Is something troubling you?”

⠀
⠀
That was great to hear. It brought some relief to his mind, the first he's had in the past moments.
“Help me secure the survivors then? I have a hunch there's more to come.” Trunks explained as he rose to his feet, standing next to Broly.
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」
Broly let him go and heard him out
however he was also trying to shake off
feelings that were nestled deep within him
in silence
" .... Broly will--... "
⠀
“Is this familiar to you, Malware? Isn't it similar to your aura?”
Dominant hand now stretched out, the time scroll was enveloped with a weird aura.
“It's corrupted and I'm going in to solve the anomalies but i thought i should show it to you first.”
⠀
⠀
That reaction wasn't exactly the one the time patroller was expecting but he could've guessed she'd be mad. That was a new level of mad though.
“You're the one who granted me permission!” Trunks raised his arms in self-defense. As he did that, he merely...
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」
The Kitsune was sitting down, holding her Time Breaker mask in her hands, her crimson gaze narrowed. Her ears were flat against her head like a kicked puppy.
The moment she heard the voice she scrambled to get up, immediately putting her mask on as her ears perked up.
⠀
...smiled. It was amusing. He missed that, even she was coated in a new temper.
“Calm down! I come in peace. I just found something that reminded me of you.” The reasoning was revealed while the swordsman rummaged in his bag, searching for the tainted scroll.
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」

"Look at all of this....in a prior time, with a prior life, my heart would've ached. I would've wept at this level of destruction.."
"But now?? Now it feels..satisfying. Like watching a demolition of a broken building."
@CR1MS0NK1TSUNE ⠀
...like that.
Now in the forefront of her time rift, Trunks was surprised she still didn't revoke his permission to enter. Could she be waiting for the swordsman?
“Malware? Are you here?” He called out, venturing deeper inside.
⠀

【@CR1MS0NK1TSUNE】
Weeks passed by, the days dragged on while most of them Trunks spent searching for a missing time scroll.
He found it corrupted, emanating an ominous energy.
Even ominously, it reminded the time patroller of Malware's ki.
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」
@CR1MS0NK1TSUNE ⠀
So before entering it to investigate and clear out the corrupted timeline events, he thought of seeking the kitsune to ask if she knew anything about it.
They weren't exactly on good terms after a series of events, but he didn't want to give her up...
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」
⠀
“I'm sorry. Something terrible happened... and i fear the worst is yet to come.”
The Time Patrol would need to gather more heroes, amd here Trunks is——starting fights he shouldn't.
“Is it too late to ask for your help?”
【#𝑾𝑨𝑹𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑻𝑰𝑴𝑬】

“HRKK!!”
Trunks hands seized Broly's arms in an attempt to free himself.
His glare calmed down when their words sank in.
“Y-You're not involved?”
After all, he was not a foe there. The time patroller should've considered it all more carefully.
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」
Broly's arm rose up to block the strike
and grew angry at the blind rage from
Trunks before growling and grabbed
him by the neck
He said nothing but his eyes said it
all
" Broly only hurt who hurt Broly !
this wreckage not Broly fault !! "
⠀
...rightfully aimed at one of the people involved in the destruction from earlier.
“WHY!?” Raised fist, he rains it down 'pon Broly.
His natural instincts were telling him he wouldn't brutalize Broly easily, but Trunks wasn't thinking straight.

While the time patroller flew past the dense clouds, he began sensing a unique presence in the outskirts of what remained of Conton City.
It was a very specific reading too —– immensely powerful.
His eyes widened when he finally realized it, before...
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」
⠀
...they narrowed into a leer.
“BROLY!!”
The name was howled out as he flew fast to his direction.
Sword was still sheathed, Trunks aimed to hit the Saiyan with his bare fists head-on.
He needed to lash out his feelings, his anger which he believed was...
「𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡.」
