Cuki saw her world vanish within seconds, not even able to utter a scream in her final moments of life (or existence in this case). It was all numb for her, but despite it all, in a twisted sense of fate, she smiled for the first time in three years. A genuine, truehearted smile. Life as a coin seemed peaceful for her, despite how boring it would be. 

At least I don't have to deal with...

Before her last thoughts finished, she saw the illusion of her death break down before her. She gasped and shot her eyes wide open, the illusion being a little too real for her. She panted for air before touching her arms and face, signifying that she was still intact. The waves of pain, physical and mental rushed back in a swarm, and before long, the smile she had instantly faded to a scowl. Her eyes then darted to Bernkastel and Hart, realizing the two were still alive and kicking. Her animalistic personality subsided for the moment and all she wanted to do was end the fight. 

"Alright... we should end this now, Zenta." Cuki spat as she rose to her feet and glared towards Hart. "I just... I just want this to end."

Zenta, after witnessing becoming a coin for a second time and then realize it was an illusion, made him slightly dizzy. His fur ruffled slightly in annoyance. He cleared his throat before shaking his head to rid himself of those uneasy feelings.

How many times am I going to turn to a coin in one setting..? 

As Cuki spoke to him, his ears flicked again towards her words and he said nothing to her, only nodding as her. Both he and his student dashed off towards Hart, quickly coming to Bernkastel's aid.
 
The Valley of the Black Crystals

Hart’s eyes widened as Bernkastel approached her in a way that reflected her calm demeanor. The death of the Breakers, and the absolute destruction of the world that happen to her very eyes, was nothing more than a lie. The world shattered like broken glass, Hart realized that she was still in the Valley of Black Crystals rather than outside of it; the Breakers are still in the same position, rather than falling into despair earlier; Bernkastel is still present, talking down as she chuckle in delight of her confusion.

Her mind was at a disarray with multiple voices in her head trying to find a reasonable explanation of what transpired before them; she witnessed Bernkastel blowing up with her own eyes. She protected herself against the blast with a large margin of Vortex Coins. She saw the pitiful deaths of the Breakers with her very own hands. “What…” Hart’s eyes narrowed; the absolute glee on her face rose into a terrifying despair. As Bernkastel took an offensive stance against her, Hart’s eyes darted rapidly to make sense of the situation. “How did you—”

----

Suddenly, Bernkastel and everything around her vanished as white void appeared around her. Even Zenta, Gogeta and Cuki charging in disappear. Sweating on her forehead, Hart felt that she was unable to move her body, but her pupils was still able to dart around to each corner of her eyes. A chilling sensation, similar to the feeling from Cross, eroded on her spine as a strange young woman holding a small child in her arms. The child raised it head, with his sky-blue eyes glistering, yet his smug expression remains apparent.

“I can’t have you go and break them, Hart. They are pivotal for this world.” Lucifer, becoming even smaller than before. “Seconds before Bernkastel trapped herself and you into a death-bomb, I took the time to create this illusion. It’s takes a massive toll on my body, and requires intense concentration, but it was enough to fool you long enough.”

Hart narrowed her eyes. “You... did this…?”

“Indeed.” The woman carrying Lucifer appeared next to Hart instantly. “I phased through Bernkastel’s barrier and got her out of here. Thankfully, it gives a pretty good opening to enter and exit this valley any time now. But I took a step further, creating an illusion as you make a mockery of yourself. And based what I saw, it was an excellent opportunity. Having the Breakers witnessing their own deaths wasn’t necessary, but I like fun things, and it makes it authentic. Bernkastel thoroughly like seeing you flee in that moment of victory. Ah, such a shame it wasn't the truth.”

Grinding her teeth, seeing that Bernkastel had once again made a joke of her existence. Hart shouted. “You dare to mock me, you bitch…!” Breaking from the spell that restrict her movements, she raised her arms up, extended them forward. “I still have the Vortex Coins; I’ll use the strongest one I have! I’ll send all of you to the ends of time! ZeedMillenniummon’s Chrono Destroyer!” Seconds passed but nothing happen. Hart’s eyes widened, seeing the Gauntlet on her arms was utterly fried. It completely shattered into multiple pieces when attempting to use it, dozens of Vortex Coins dropped to the ground. “W-what!?”

Lucifer made a warm smile. “Don’t you remember? In your moment of protecting yourself, you use all the Coins at once—and using that one tipped the it over, especially when your clones had vanished and returned to your body.”

Hart stared at the destroyed the gauntlet as sweats dripped from her forehead, unable to make a proper response.

“Ah, I believe that we still need to finish this. Let’s resume the battle.” In a flash the white void disappear and returned to the current situation erupting. 

---

Without any reaction, Gogeta's fists slammed against Hart’s face. Her head whipped back, and the force pushed her back as she tumbled multiple times out of the Valley of the Black Crystals through the new exit; what remains of the gauntlet flung out of her arms. 

Landing on her feet, Hart narrowed her eyes on the powerful impact that the punch did, her sense completely rocked. She fell on her one knee, placing her hands over her nose. “Goddamnit..!!!!”
 
Cross thinks "Now that I think about it this would be some thing a demon would pull to turn hope in to despair. On some level that happened to Hart was amusing(Thanks to the version of him that a Demon lord)."

Cross asks "So what next?"
 
Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Brachi regained awareness the moment she heard Gogeta punching Hart and the latter's cursed exclamation. Instantly she capitulized on this by dashing towards Hart, appearing right in front of her and delivering a fierce uppercut to her before she could react to this, sending Hart flying in the process. However, Brachi wasn't done as she suddenly dashed towards the amalgamate, before laying into her with a barrage of punches all over the body, which lasted for only several seconds, but it was clear that in that single time frame, Brachi had thrown all the usual methods of using special moves and whatever she usually did to keep watch on her enemy out of the window. Instead, due to having reached her rage breaking point, she switched to a simple yet effective no-holds-barred beatdown, finishing the Raid Blast technique with a fierce punch to the gut to send Hart flying away.

A sudden pink arm stretched out after the hostile amalgamate and grabbed her by the ankle, with Brachi noting it was Majin Bara whom had used a Mystic Attack to grab Hart from afar.

"COME HERE!" Bara snarled, in an ironic echo of the Coin Hunter having used Scorpion's spear before, pulling Hart towards her before delivering a fierce punch with her other fist which she enlarged for good measure, leaving Hart open for the others to tag in and continue the assault
 
Following after Brachi and Bara, Gogeta flew through the new exit in pursuit of Hart, landing gently on the ground. Instead of following up, however, Gogeta squatted down and slowly pulled his arms behind his back, the palms coming together. Devastating blue energy shook the ground, the volatile crackling of some spilling out striking at the floor as Gogeta's fierce glare trained in on Hart.

"This time, no one's going to save you!!"

Gogeta roared violently, the energy spiking dramatically in charging up, the blue fire of his aura growing outwards in every direction.

"Ka...me..."
 
Cross says "I can approver the efficiently Gogeta and Brachi but don't you both feel that simply coining her is too simple." Cross dos not suggesting mercy but just beating her up and coining her too Cross seems lacking. Cross says "That and our location." Pointing out they were kind of Near black Crystals.
 
The Valley of the Black Crystals

Blood dripping out of her nose, Hart struggle to stand completely straight. Gripping her own face, the continuous thoughts rang loud in her head, all of them shouting their own opinions at the same time. Their pain, their cries, their disappointment of what transpired. Hart herself felt enraged, betrayed, and made a fool by the Breakers—specifically Bernkastel and Lucifer.

Even after the barrage of attacks erupted by Brachi and Bara—she doesn’t care about them. To Hart, all of them are nothing more than grunts. Brachi’s rage doesn’t even compared to the rage pent up by Hart over the years. The trickery, the loss, and the utter defeat that befell on her. As she was tumbled backward against the ground once more by Bara’s punch. She stood up once more, seeing Bernkastel still standing in an offensive stance with that smirk riddled on her face. Even at Gogeta forming an energy blast did not warranted any attention—her seething rage override any senses she had. Hart clenched her fists, no longer having access to the Vortex Coins she’d collected over the years. The specialized gauntlet built by Kazuki, and the information gained from “him” was seemingly accurate, but it was nothing more than an illusionary trick to mock her. Blood dripped from her forehead and riddled with bruises. “I won’t stop… I will never stop. I will destroy all of you! If the world needs to be damned, then so best it!” Hart shouted with distinct voices ringing out.

Hart raised her fist in the air, a wristband around her arm glowed brightly, engulfing her. “Sentai Power!” Rainbow armor around her body appeared, reconstructing itself once more, as Hart panted heavily, and her wounds didn’t heal. A rainbow explosion erupted behind her as she took a stance. “Power of the Rainbow! Rainbow Ranger!” The sense of all the spirits [racking up in the thousands] residing in Hart fired up--for a split second, all of them could be seen standing behind her.

Experiencing humiliation from the illusion, Hart angerily cocked her right arm back as her hand balled into a fist. The multi cries ringed out in her shouting as she launched her fist forward. Instantly, she emitted dozens of multicolored afterimages of various warriors out of her body towards Gogeta, Brachi, Bara and Cross. Each afterimage display a distinct difference in their appearances, wearing various single-color armor as they closed the gap between Hart and the rest of the Breakers. They dashed against them, rapidly attacking them with various attacks and slammed all of them against the grounds, before vanishing. Hart crouched down slightly before dashing forward, heading straight towards Bernkastel, Cuki and Zenta, whom still haven’t moved out of the Valley of Black Crystals. Zeroing in on her target, the Witch of Miracles, a sword formed in her hands as it dragged against the scorched earth. “Sentai Sword—Spectrum Blades!” She shouted as unleashing multi energy blades towards the trio.
 
Cross says "I hope those you two got the double meaning." As Cross is floating ware a Knight Doll was floating before Hart's onslaught started. Were Cross shooed been wend it started there was A Knight Doll.

Victorian Dolls Start to Cut at Hart
 
"Here she comes... no way to hide behind that gauntlet anymore!" Bernkastel drew her arms back, cupping the air with her hands-- the adrenaline had worn off and the witch could feel her body's immense fatigue returning, but she she pushed herself to move. Wincing as her muscles tensed involuntarily, Bern managed to form several small crystals that orbited around her hands.

Just a little longer!

Swinging her arms forward, the crystals launched into the air directly into Hart's path. Aiming to slow the Coin Hunter down and throw her off-balance long enough for the others to recover from the afterimages, Bernkastel clenched her hands into fists. Each crystal struck the ground and promptly exploded into jagged formations, imposing obstructions between Hart and herself, Cuki, and Zenta.

"They won't hold for long, but it'll be wnough time for me to maneuver my way in--" Bernkastel cut herself off and let out a cry of pain, doubling over having forgotten the damage she had taken wouldn't heal as long as they were in the valley. Hissing at the pain from her sudden movement, she clutched at her back-- it was exposed and just touching the burn injuries with her bare hands caused her to involuntarily arch her back. "Ouchouchouch... not now...!" After her attempt to sacrifice herself, Bernkastel was lucky to even stand, let alone have enough energy to put up another defense. It was possible one hit from Hart's afterimage could destroy her human form and reduce her to a cat. Her will to fight was losing out to her physical body's inability to hold out any longer.
 
Zenta and Cuki took the moment given to them by Bernkastel to defend the Witch from harm. Cuki barely had time to duck out of the way from Hart’s multiple swords but luckily for her, Bernkastel’s crystals blocked what would have been a fatal blow. As Bernkastel threw the defensive crystals up, Zenta’s palms started to glow a faint blue aura, his energy being dangerously low. He had to act as quickly as he could. He kept his stance next to Bernkastel and took a deep breath before deflecting any blades that managed to slip by Bern’s crystals. The energy swords were deflected away but it was obvious that the beast was growing tired. Cuki hopped next to her Master and copied him, deflecting as many swords as she could to protect Zenta and Bernkastel.

“Bernkastel cannot hold out much longer! Get out of here while you still can!” Cuki called out. “Go!”

Zenta nodded as he took note of Bernkastel’s cry for pain. He knew she could not last any longer, especially given Hart’s nature to destroy her. Zenta gently lifted Bernkastel into his arms and dashed away towards the opening within the Black Crystals. Once the beast and Witch were out and in the open with the others, Cuki jumped back and away from any of the incoming swords. She did not realize how tired she was when she began to gasp for air. She hurried after her master towards the exit.
