The Reality Vortex: New Roads

Gogeta yelped loudly as he was slammed down into the ground, the rock and rubble exploding outwards from the impact. The fusion laid sprawled out on his back, his eyes tightly shut with a pained expression from the blow.

He cried out with each heavy stomp on his chest, coughing up blood after the second kick to his chest. He laid still for a moment as Ultraman finished his speech, barely moving in his crater.

However, after a second, Gogeta struggled and twitched heavily in moving from his spot. He crawled his way up out of the mini crater, his body visibly trembling with heavy scratches along his body from the damage taken. Gogeta managed to stand up slowly, however, his back initially to Ultraman as he took a moment to collect himself. Turning around, Gogeta panted heavily with blood trailing down the corners of his mouth, yet his fierce glare remained in staring Ultraman down.

He paused, only his glare being a momentary response, until his lips slowly rose into a cocky smirk and he raised up his fists in tensing his arm muscles.

“Maybe you’re right about me being a bad guy; I haven’t been good at controlling myself. But you know what? I don’t care anymore. I don’t care if people like me...I don’t care what they even think of me.”

Gogeta rolled his shoulders a bit, his spiky black hair swaying slightly in the wind.

“Because no matter how much you talk about what I deserve, you’ll never stop me from having fun in this fight.”

Clenching his left fist tighter, Gogeta waved on Ultraman with his right hand as his smirk rose.

“Kill me...if you can. I’ll die happy, knowing that I got what I wanted. While you will always be a loser; crying over coins. In the end...no matter what you tell yourself or do to me...know this-“

Gogeta pointed to himself with his right thumb, a similar arrogance familiar to one of his fusees more dominant in his dual voice.

“I won.”
 
Cuki's Apartment

The Saiyan princess grunted as she was thrown back into the remains of the apartment buildings. She quickly recovered, scanning the older Saiyan's speedy movements. She turned around, managing to swat away three of the strange orbs with her new bone arms, but then countered with her own melee of blasts in an attempt to rid the air of the remaining. Through the smoke, Panich catapulted herself at Spina, throwing two quick but powerful jabs at his face before giving herself some distance from him with an explosive blast to the chest. 

As she landed, she prepared yet another blast in her hand, yet this one seemed different. it seemed to be almost pulsating in her hand. With every beat, it grew a few inches bigger, before struggling to condense itself enough to be completely encased in Panich's hand. "Take this!" 
She grunted, throwing the fist forward and opening it to release a raging beam heading straight for the lead Breaker.
 
Cuki listened intently to Hart, her eye growing wide with rage with each word she spoke. She knew, deep down, Hart had a point. The reputation of the BReakers was gone, everyone in the city despised their guts, and they would no doubt side with Hart and Ultraman from this point onward. All she could think about was the failures of the Breakers and how she was powerless to change their minds for the better. The Saiyan remained silent as Hart continued her speech before her eyes darted to the side and above her. She noticed Bernkastel falling towards them.

(I'm going to assume Bern hits the ground because she's KO'ed.)

Cuki made no attempts to stop her fall and watch Bernkastel hit the floor in front of her and Lucifer. Her eyes locked on to the Witch as everything Hart said now starting to fuzz out. All Cuki saw was a motionless Kitty Witch who was roughed up in some kind of fight. It took her a second but she quickly made her way towards Bernkastel and gently knelt down beside her, placing Bern's head on her lap. She examined the scruffs and bruises all over Bern and wondered what mess she was dragged in to.

"What happened to Bernkastel? How did she end up in this condition?"

Although her words were thoughtful, her tone lacked concern. It was almost as if she was both satisfied yet surprised to see Bernkastel in her current condition.

"Did your clones attack her, Hart?"
 
"Nngh..." Bernkastel winced in pain after being dropped onto the hard ground, hissing air in from the slightest movement of being placed in Cuki's lap. She opened one eye by a sliver since the atmosphere felt entirely different and entirely of silence. This wasn't the city, and she couldn't hear Gogeta or Ultraman anymore. She could hear Cuki speaking above her head but felt completely disoriented and confused about seeing Lucifer and Hart not far from them.

It's that woman again. So she really is the Coin Hunter, Bern thought as she observed Hart's outfit without a word. Gogeta isn't here either. Where are the others?

"Not her..." she said to Cuki with a hoarse voice as her gaze drifted off to her bloodied knuckles. "Ultraman... got me good. I'm no match for him as he is now." Bern was unaware of how long she had been out, so she was unsure as to whether or not the three of them were the only ones left alive or not. "That's what I get for underestimating the star hero," she muttered. She had to accept the loss for what it was, but it was fought fair and square and then some. This one, however, had no qualms using Coins to overpower them.

"So you're the Coin Hunter." Bernkastel didn't phrase it as a question but of confirmation.
 
Valley of the Black Crystals

Lucifer could no longer sense the powerful spirits around Hart the moment Bernkastel crashed on the ground in front of them. He didn’t question the lack of empathy from Cuki, and seemingly want to see this play out. “So that what she was talking about.” Lucifer said. “It seems that she managed to take advantage of the situation.” He turns to Hart—but his eyes widened. He was kicked away by Hart, tumbling back across the ground.

Seconds later, Hart punched Cuki across the back to push the young Saiyan back, leaving Bernkastel alone. Raising her feet in the air, Hart slammed Bernkastel’s head through the air, and placing pressure on it. “A pitiful sight of the one called the Cruelest Witch.” She said. “Indeed I am, the Coin Hunter. I have been building up for this day, this event, solely to defeat you. Bring you down to your utter weak point. And it’s all thanks to you and Gogeta having so much apathy… I had other plans to bring you down to your knees… but that fool made it so much easier, it was practically laughable.”

Hart’s gauntlet started to glow. “Now this is going to be easy… taking you out, and others will fall quickly. And of course, once the others sense your energy dropping rapidly, they will be rushed here blindly. You were the one who cause me to be this way…” She raised her arms in the air as her eyes zeroed in on the Witch. “Coin Activation: Beatrice.”

Cross, Brachi and Bara teleported outside of the horde of tall Black Crystals. They towered over them in sheer size. However, due to the pressure of the energy, due to the abundance of them and its sheer size, it had an effect on their abilities to teleport within. The only way in is to walk through the Crystals—without touching them as Detective Goku warned—to seek out the others.

Suddenly, underneath Bara’s pockets, one of the Vortex Coins suddenly light up dramatically, reforming into a being once more: Zenta.



Cuki’s Apartment

Spina tumbled backward after the repeated attacks on his face and the explosion erupted on his chest. Quickly recovery after jumping back on his feet, Spina inhale his breath deeply before exhaling it. The old Saiyan roared greatly, outright causing Panich’s blast to rip apart due to the intense winds emitted from his roar.

Breathing heavy, his dove-colored eyes narrowed on Panich’s body undergoing a change as the battle rages on. “She’s getting more powerful every second, she’s getting used to that power…. I don’t sense Bernkastel anywhere… and Gogeta’s energy is dropping dramatically. Did Cross and Brachi made it in time?”

Spina launched the remaining orbs behind him upward in the air, then bolted forward towards Panich. “Rising Smash!” He went for a sudden strike against the right side of her cheek, before punching her in the stomach. He jumped back a few distance, as his energy left arm grew slightly bigger, launching it overhead to slammed her towards the ground.



Reality Metropolis

The Kryptonian pulled back his arm, sensing that no “people” in the city any longer. “Your victory is an illusion. Reality will strike you soon.” In rapid speeds, Ultraman slammed against Gogeta’s stomach with such precise strength, it erupted a powerful shockwave behind him, destroying the nearest mountains behind the fusion. It a technique he learned from Superman—capable of shattering bones of an opponent to make them immobile for a period of time, since he could never kill. In Ultraman’s perspective, death is pointless in this reality—but reducing one to an immobile state was better. 

Pulling his right fist back, he turned his back on the fusion. “Bask on that victory as you lay in the pile of death in your hands.” He ascended from the ground. “Hart was right… to move forward… Breakers need to be destroyed, and that’s all we need to do.” Ultraman sense that all “life” in the city were either reduced to coins or escape the city someway. “We’ll end this.” He blasted towards the sky.
 
Brachi noticed the crystals around.

"Better not touch those at any cost! Otherwise we would be in quite a pickle... huh?! How did you get that coin?!" Brachi then said to Bara, right before it glowed and Zenta appeared among them within the group, making Brachi and Bara blink at this.
 
Refuge camp

A woman with Cross' Crest asks another man "is this your Kid?" Pointing to a little girl. The Man nods and says "thank you for finding her." The woman starts to look to reunite people that she can.

Its clear too people that Cross' people are helping out the people like they normally do after this sorta thing.

A normal woman asks an young man waring Cross' Crest seemly on brake "way are you all being so kind despite everything before?" Young man asks "Way would we need a reason to be kind to our neighbors and friends. I can only speak for my self being one of the recuts form this "cycle"."

The Valley

Cross says "I trust your are aware what going on Zenta."
 
As Cuki was punched by Hart, she flew back and skidded to a stop watching as Hart took advantage of an already weakened Bernkastel. Cuki was in no state to fight but with the short moment of rest she got by waiting for Hart to appear, she was able to rise up to her feet and stagger briefly as she composed herself. The thought of Hart fighting Bernkastel at her weakest seemed to sicken her and fuel a wave of anger within her. Despite her qualms with Bernkastel, Hart was seen as the bigger threat, not because she was trying to kill them, but because of how everything was ultimately her plan. 

"I've had enough of you, Hart..! You're nothing but a coward who picks on those who are already too weak to fight back!" Cuki shouted as she coated her hands in mystical white energy. "Is it because you're too weak to fight back without any help?! Is that why you use the Coins to aid you?!"

Cuki rushed to Hart, trying to hopefully stop any sort of attack the woman may dis out on Bernkastel. She shot her fist out towards Hart, hitting right in the cheek.

"No wonder you have people do your dirty work! Everything is a pawn for you! Panich, Ultraman, even the innocent people you plan to destroy!"



The light forming from the body of Zenta disappeared to finally expose the familiar furry beast the Breakers grew to know. Zenta gently plopped on the ground and shook his head from the odd sensation of returning back from being a Coin. He placed a hand on his head, rubbing and messing up his hair. His head perked up as he turned to face the familiar cast before him. He seemed a little confused and lost as to what happened but was glad to Brachi and Cross.

"Oh my... what happened?" Zenta said while dusting his shoulders before answering Cross. "I am afraid I am quite lost. This certainly does not feel like the apartment. Where are the others?"
 
Cross says "Cuki, Bernkestle and a new recite named Lucifer have been taken to hear and we here to back them up. Do avoid like any plague those black Crystals. Spina is fighting some one that backstabbed the group. There was a fight between two fools but that less reverent. Once were finished with this I trust Cuki or any of our number will give you the remaining details."
 
"Ah, I see," Zenta gazed up towards the Crystals, sensing a malicious aura to them. He was wise to heed Cross' warning. "I see things have gotten a bit out of control in my absence. My senses are little scrambled and I am still quite groggy from returning back, so I will be following right behind you two until we reach our destination... Rest assured I will not be holding you back."
