Dolls dressed like Victorian women appeared with Brachi that brandishing swords befitting of how they looked and size. As the blades cut in to Hart's armor/flesh the tiny blades are more effective than they seemed at first glance. The Dolls did back off much like Branch before them.

Cross says "Don't tell me we showed up at the 11th hour."
 
Valley of the Black Crystals

Taking the blows from Brachi, Hart crashed against the ground with sufficient force, but quickly recovered. Landing on her feet quickly, she feel her body being sliced and diced by the Dolls sent by Cross—but not enough to deter her movements. Hart crouched down slightly, and hastily bolted forward, tackling Brachi with the shoulder tackle—the shoulder that had spikes sticking out. Using the strength from the World War Hulk, it broke through her defense easily and pushed her back.

The area of the Black Crystals was that of a football field—92 m long and 51 m wide—is the battlefield that the Breakers and Hart are placed in. It may seem big, but the destruction of the ground and the battle, the distance can rapidly close instantly.

The power behind her tackle was enough to nearly sent her towards the Black Crystal. “Balvolt’s Thunderous Blast!” Small crackles above her head formed instantly, sending thunderous bolts towards Brachi, Bara and Cross, slamming them with high voltage of energy, ripping the land around them apart instantly, as her initial attacks of fire continued on their path towards Bernkastel, Cuki, Zenta and Lucifer.

The spikes in her left shoulder is apparent, and the damage taken is suitable. “Tsk…”
 
A Doll that was dressed like a knight drew the lightning torts it's self and token the hit instead(working like a lighting rod). The dolls that were near hart this time opened Hart to take a Lighting strake form the knight.

Cross says "That funny."

Clark Kent watched on while Gogeta flew away, his own smile undeterred by Detective Goku's questioning.

"No, I don't think I'll be keeping this act up for much longer. I wanted to move past the limitations of that team and find the answers on my own, but I've come up mostly empty handed. So I thought I'd lend you a hand again, and see what all the fuss was about that Coin Hunter, only to find a pleasant surprise in seeing the Breakers themselves investigating the same thing. To see them, and an old friend from my universe joining them in the fight; it filled me with something I haven't felt in a long time. So I waited; I wanted to see what they do, and how they have changed."

He stifled a small chuckle.

"I'm sorry I didn't stop Gogeta from blowing half the city away, but I just had to see what they'd do with him. I wondered if they'd see the good in him, and if it was worth saving that bond of friendship even when he strayed so far. Even now, sending him back out there gives me a chance to see what they'll really do with him...and perhaps...what they'd do with me. If they'd be willing to deal with the hurt we'd cause, just because we were their friends. Or if it wasn't worth it, and they would be happy to never see us again."

Clark paused, inhaling deeply through his nose for a brief moment. He spoke once more after the relieved sigh, his relaxed voice sounding as if he just got finished with a long day of work.

"I hope they'd still have us...I hope they can see the good we can bring them. I didn't realize just how much we need them to forgive us until now."

He then turned his head slightly towards Goku, bowing his head slightly in courtesy of Detective Goku's mention of making his rounds, soon turning on his heel with a warm tone.

"I only hope one day, you can see the good in them as I do...old friend. As always, a pleasure to see you Kakarot."

The man did not wait for a reply, slowly striding down the ruined street with his hands buried in his own coat pockets away from Detective Goku.
 
Zenta lifted his head to face Cuki and her aggressive nature. He seemed a little confused but the limited expressions on his face showed that he was concerned about the well-being of his student. He knew he could not question her now so his attention was entirely on Hart and her antics. He overheard Lucifer on how they needed to stall for enough time so he took a deep breath and parted his legs to enter a familiar stance.

I should be more careful, I am still feeling the effects of returning back to this realm. A direct hit can be devastating for me... As for these Black Crystals, I was warned to avoid touching or destroying them...

Zenta took another deep breath and gathered his focus before turning to Hart. His fur fluffed up upon sensing the incoming fireballs. His hands started to emit a blue-ish white energy before quickly slicing the fireball in half, allowing both halves to fizzle out behind him. He gazed over at Hart's energy and noticed a mix of all sorts of energies, no doubt from the Coins she is currently using. He nodded to himself before preparing himself to make a move.

"I will try to keep that woman at a distance for you, Lady Bernkastel," Zenta said. "And do no worry about Cuki, our priority is Ms. Hart."

Zenta quickly jumped into the air before vanishing and then reappearing behind Hart. His energy coated hands slammed against Hart's back and it felt as if she was hit by a truck, sending her flying forward a couple of feet before dashing in front of the woman and kicking her high into the air, making her vulnerable for Brachi and Cross to attack her. Although he was still weak from behind a Coin, his speed and power were still impressive, to say the least. As he watched Hart go up in the air, he quickly turned around to see Cuki at his side. He could not tell that she lacked sleep but her staggered breathing and energy told him another story.

Cuki looked up to her Master and scoffed silently. Normally she would be beyond excited to see her Master but the emotion was not there. Perhaps Hart broke Cuki more than people thought. However, her expression was completely different. Her eyes were filled with rage, no doubt from Hart, but she had tears rolling down her eyes. It seemed as if Zenta's return impacted her in some way but her emotions were entirely mixed up. Was it the lack of sleep? Hart's motive? The ruined reputation of the Breakers? So much piled up on a youngster's shoulders, no one would ever know. Cuki nodded to Zenta, almost reassuring to him that she was going to continue fighting. 

"Keep an eye on Bernkastel! She's the one Hart really wants." Cuki said to Zenta. "And don't touch those Crystals! Hart wants them to explode with us in them! We'll be turned to Coins if that happens!"

The young Saiyan rushed towards Hart with her arm pulled back. Her palm was glowing with the same energy she used to attack Hart's shoulder, this time aimed at her gauntlet. Zenta watched his student silently, studying her every move and every saying but returned his focus on the fight, bracing himself to give Lucifer and Bernkastel the back-up they needed.
 
"Way ahead of you guys..." Bernkastel certainly felt a lot better than she looked now, but she had to keep in mind that possessing more energy didn't mean her injuries had healed. As long as she couldn't actually heal them she had to stay on her toes like the next hit would be her last. "I tend to perform better under pressure anyway-- so I'll have to split." Her gaze shifted once she saw the shoulder towers immediately aim its cannons. Unlike close combat, long-range attacks were much easier to track efficiently. With a running start Bernkastel managed to begin hovering, though for the sake of avoiding the crystals hanging above, she kept her flight fairly low.

Bernkastel knew that the blasts were linear and came from cannons that were evenly spaced out-- no matter how they angle from their stationary perches, the projectiles couldn't touch the crystals. Lucifer was going to face difficulty if Hart aimed the towers for him so high in the air. Which meant she had to at least damage one beyond repair and use the towers' precision against it.

She flew right into the path of the ballistic cloud, arms out in front of her and sweat on her brow in clear reservations about what she was doing. As predicted, a small gap was visible, but far too small for her frame to fit through without getting sliced into ribbons. Within a second, she was engulfed in the onslaught of artillery fire... yet no scream or cry was uttered. Instead, a small black cat emerged from the other side as it traveled through the air, occasionally pouncing off flying debris.

The cat's paws glowed green as did its eyes before it erupted in a small plume of smoke to reveal Bernkastel once more. With her hands still glowing, she took aim at the tower firing towards her. "Here goes, all or nothing. Explosion!" From each finger, a flame-like bundle of energy fired a brilliant green homing blast headed for the lower part of the tower like a comet. The key was to damage the bottom enough that the rest would collapse from a weakened structural support.
 
Both Brachi and Bara were knocked back, but held their ground even as the high voltage racked over their bodies, partially thanks to their transformations, with Brachi having a defensive posture, before using a Spirit Explosion to knock the attack back.

"Is that your best? The Martian's Electric Machines can do more damage than that!" The amalgamate shouted, still in Super Saiyan God form.

Brachi then jumped high in the air, still avoiding the black crystals and began to charge an attack of her own; surrounding herself with bright yellow electric energy that could repel some attacks directed at her, but the main priority was to keep those trying to intercept her in close combat at bay, before launching it in a massive, bright yellow energy wave at Hart, while by extension providing cover for Cuki and Bernkastel to continue their attacks, while Majin Bara assisted with a mouth energy wave, while at the same time moving her hands independently from her in a unique form of Body Manipulation.

From behind Hart, pink portals suddenly opened and closed as rapidly as they came, but upon opening released pink energy spheres that would hit like a ton of bricks upon making impact with Hart from behind. With the attacks incoming directly at the hostile amalgamate it was practically impossible to see who fired it, but Brachi knew the exact source from those portals, as it was her Majin bestie whom was doing her part in keeping Hart under pressure while both finished their attacks and got ready to follow-up, with Brachi ready to anticipate the next attack directed at her by using the Vanisher Guard evasive move.
 
Valley of the Black Crystals

Lightning bolts redirected to one of Cross’ Knights, and came back at Hart instead, leaving her staggered in her position. Although she use Zenta’s abilities when she was a Vortex Coin, since she never seen her fight before, his speed went undetected. She was pushed back from behind, tumbling forward multiple times. Leaping upward by using her arms to gain a quick recovery for a counterattack, Hart took on another attack and flung straight into the air.

Her body spun around in the air until her front faced the ground. “Just a little more…” Seeing the magical attacks being blown away by various means, she sense the energy building towards her front and back and went on the defenses using one arm. Energy blasts launched by both Brachi and Bara created a powerful shockwave, blowing back the upcoming Cuki away from the sheer wind pressure generated from it. A cloud of black smoke engulfed Hart completely, and parts of her body descended from it.

At the same time, as part of Bernkastel’s effort, one of the shoulder towers fell over quickly due to the overwhelming force of powers emitted from the bottom that holds it together. As the structural post weaken, it tipped over, collapsing on the ground into multiple giant pieces being flung in the air.

The remaining tower ignored Lucifer’s path, refocused its attention solely on Bernkastel, Cross, Cuki, Zenta, Brachi and Bara. Its cannon began to gather significantly magical energy by twisting the front portion of the cannon. It unleashed a powerful energy beam that cannot be dodge—similar to heat seeking, it trails behind them based on the user’s energy signature and engulfs them in high powerful magical energy. Any attempts to block it through brute force will resulted of a major pushback. It easily tears through the floorboard--in attempt to make the surrounding crystals collapsed around them.



Reality Metropolis

Detective Goku turned his head slightly seeing Clark Kent walked off without waiting for a reply from him. “We’ll see.” The Detective turned to the opposite direction, seeking the streets for any potential victims.
 
A group of dolls looking like witches absorb the magical energy's form the blast and after that started to blast hart. The Victorian dolls keep making openings for others Dolls or Breakers. What magical energy's they could not absorb was countered spelled by Cross.

Scouts with Cross' crest are looking for survivors from the battle.
 
Valley of the Black Crystals

Despite the heat-seeking magical attacks targeted the Breakers, all of them were absorbed into the Dolls created by Cross. In return, due to Hart still staggered from the previous attacks, the Dolls engulfed the Coin Hunter with powerful energy blasts. The black smokes expanded largely and fell straight down to the ground rapidly. The black smokes flooded the main floorboard they were fighting on, only those that are levitating in the sky have a clear view of what’s going on.

“Keep putting pressure on her.” Lucifer said. “Cuki said something about there being multiple Coin Hunters. I have a hunch that she’s able to split herself, like a duplication, and use the Coins more freely. Force her to use that—” The small angel sense a change of “pressure” from Hart.

“Coin Activation: Franklin Richards.” Hart activated the fourth coin under her belt. A strange aura appeared around her body and repairs her armor and removed the spikes that stuck out due to Cuki’s earlier attacks: Using Beatrice’s method of regeneration, it allows her body to restore her armor to near restoration. Freely to able to use both of her hands, her shoulders bounce up and down seeing the dolls absorbed the energy as expected.

Extending her arms forward, the witch dolls that absorbed the magical energy from the remaining shoulder tower violently exploded. Clouds from the explosion were in a range of wild colors, and shoot upward in the ceiling, clearly any view from the Breakers to Hart’s actions, and each other.

Not wasting any time, seeing the Shoulder Tower’s cannons still tracking down each individual Breaker, despite not firing, allowing Hart to pinpoint their location. As the gauntlet started heat up intensity, Hart spread her fingers, firing off multiple bubbles from the tip towards each of them. An instant attack that traps a user in a highly concentrated energy that builds up pressure by crushing them within.

Hart placed her hands together until she shaped it into a finger gun and points it at Bara. “Bernkastel, bare witness when you will suffer another loss.” She fired a powerful beam of cosmic energy that contains nebulas and other celestial bodies towards the bubble containing Bara, pushing it back towards a Black Crystal behind her. Such Black Crystal snapped from its place and begins to tipped over above the Majin as it begins to light up dramatically. A single crack sends powerful pressure across the area, including Cuki's Apartment and Reality Metropolis.
