-Roo is outside cheering on the explosions like he was front row at a WWE event-
Yeah yeah yeah! That's some real tech out there!
I hope he grows out of that one day. He's gonna get himself killed.
Even if those laws are "just written", they're hard wired into my programming. If I purposely kill an innocent human being, I'd be shut down on the spot.

Burning Megaton Punch! (punches the air, creating a cluster of explosions nearby Kale.)

(listens to Chester's diatribe against killing and writes it down on a notepad to the best of her ability.) T-that is, um, a lot to t-take in.
(@Flame Stag) (nods) W-what if he runs a-across the wrong foe?
-As Homura's rounds torch Cell, most of Buu's body reforms back into Super Buu a few feet away-
-...I say "most" because the rest have formed into an amorphous mass that, the second Homura stops firing, throws itself on top of Perfect Cell and begins to overtake him-
"Wha-what are you doing?! Get off me!"
"Buu likes your power...and your head is shaped funny...Buu wants both! Now you become a part of me!"
-looks over at Flamestag- Well, I deeply apologize. But I'm much more used to organic life where they don't have such limitations.
Something being hard-wired to be that case- is harder to avoid. Can still be avoided with effort, but I trust that you'd never make that effort.

Homura: (is just able to direct the last wisps of her Dragon's Breath shot away from Buu matter) Tch... (is not happy about Buu's sudden interruption, but doesn't yet want to risk antagonizing him...though she does have her finger on the Time Stop switch just in case)
(...which just so happened to be a really good time to get out of the blast zone of the Gundam's next salvo.)

(Gesicht gasps and attempts to rip Buu off Cell. As much as Gesicht despises him, He wouldn't want him to die like this. He doesn't care about potential friendly fire as he tries to accomplish this task.)
(@Buu) Let him go, Majin! He doesn't deserve this! (he may also be enveloped by Buu's goo as well.)

-The mass completely engulfs Perfect Cell and re-merges with Super Buu, causing his body to undergo another change, taking on several aspects of Cell's body-
-When Buu speaks, while his voice remains largely the same, it's taken on Cell's intelligence and more dignified tone-
"Yes...yes, I quite like this! I suppose now I'm...Perfect Buu? No...I think I'd prefer 'Super Buu.'"
(The salvo is launched, but whether they'd actually do anything to this New Super Buu is another matter entirely. Also, there are explicitly no Gundams in this battle, technically.)
Whoa! (She backs away carefully after being shoved) I'm on your side.
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."-Oh, the shots hurt alright...for about a second before Cell and Buu's combined regeneration quickly healed up the holes in him-
"Now think...is this really the place you want to die? Hmm...Cell was promised a fight. Many of them. There are names in his memories...Caulifla, Kale, Tohru...Gohan...none of you are them."
-Buu just...is he just walking away?!-
"I'm going to find them. Don't waste my time unless you can provide something just as good."
-...Oh god now he's acting like Cell-

(Gesicht gets bombarded by the blasts, but somehow he manages to hang on.)
(@Super Buu) Alright, Super Buu! I will!
(Gesicht changes into his Zeron mode to show that he means business and fires a salvo of bullets and lasers from his chest cannons at Super Buu.)

R-right... (sighs) I w-wish he was level-headed as you, Flame Stag.

-nods to Flamestag- Well of course, I'm not doubting that- I'm very familiar with society. But in general, a law is a piece of paper dictating how one should act. Murders happen in spite of the law, and it is the job of officers of the law to enact and enforce.
-back to Marcia- My overall point though- is that everything can, should it so wish, take another life.
However it is an abuse of power to do so. For it is taking the path of another- and cutting it short.
You have chosen to make a choice that cannot be taken back.
It is morally bankrupt to kill, even on those who are morally bankrupt themselves.
What you do, when you kill- is destroy another person's choices. Another person's freedoms.
A murderer one day, in a fit of passionate hate, could have been so much more in the future if given the chance. But because you made the choice to kill them for their crime, to pay unto them an eye for an eye. They can never make amends, nor can they truly learn from their mistakes. You remove their capacity to contribute to the world.
That's why it's an abuse of power. You have this capability to take from others. And you do so. You willingly take upon your power to kill, and use it to deny another their life.
