Brachi sighed at this.

"I hope so... I need a bit of rest before I go back to train." She said, preparing to depart to the apartment with Bara trailing behind her, with Bara showing her puppy dog eyes as she could feel Brachi was upset at this point, with Bara even glancing at Panich and Gogeta for a brief moment while showing those eyes.
 
Cross says taking out a key "This place shooed do for our needs." Cross opens a door way to what looks like a mansion of some one that supper rich. Cross thinks "my people on the ground shooed be able to handle the clean up"
 
The woman carrying Lucifer approached Zenta and Bernkastel, once again transformed a black cat. “It was a pleasure to see you take on an aggressive role in battle. I’d figured you are used to a more seeing your victims squirm from afar.” The small angel let out a chuckle. “But seeing you fight in such a way, and even willingly risk your own life, my, I say that this new world brings a lot of new flavors to our usual personalities and comfort zone. Even I managed to do something quite out-of-character for me, but this is fine too.” Lucifer said. “Joining the Breakers is definitely the right choice.” He look towards the Valley transformed dramatically because of a few Black Crystals.

“Black Crystals are truly powerful.” Lucifer narrowed his eyes upon observing them. “We should tread caution for now, but it seems that this canyon remains stationary and won’t spread. Thankfully, we prevent Hart from completing her plan. If a few of them can cause that much damage… a horde of them can do a lot worst. Perhaps my illusions were too on the mark?” He checked the motions of the clouds and violent tornadoes that remained in one place.

Lucifer took a glance at Zenta; seeing that Bernkastel was friendly to them, it seems to be the other Coin that was lost prior to their meeting. “So, I don’t think we have met before. Obviously, I prefer we can properly meet in better circumstances since I’m not currently in full power. Though, judging from that visor and the way you carry yourself, I supposed that my appearance doesn’t mean much, I presume?” He let out a light chuckle. “Zenta, wasn’t it? I am Lucifer Morningstar. I am [one] of the newest edition of this group. I hope we get along great.” He introduced himself with a smile.

“A worthy fighter, huh.” Spina overheard Gogeta’s comment, reverting back to his base and losing the energized left arm. “So the Coin Hunter is finally defeated. We should collect all the Vortex Coins. Especially one of them being Lucifer’s disciple.” The old Saiyan thought to himself. He raised a brow when Cross mention something about “dealing with that thing”, but he couldn’t figure out what he was referring too. He set that aside for now, since there were more pressing issues going on right now.

Spina turned to Bernkastel, Lucifer and Zenta; the beast mentor that Cuki considers her as her master had returned. Yet, despite the master being fully present, he noticed a distinct lack of reaction from Cuki. No excitement, no emotional reunion. Nothing. “Perhaps she already did beforehand, but she’s acting cold.” Spina thought to himself, noticing that Cuki’s behaviors have increasingly became strange in these last few days.

As the others talk about their next move, and some discussing on returning to home—especially Cross’ mansion, Spina clenched his fists. He stood in front of the doorway, preventing anyone from going in. “Not yet.” The old Saiyan’s tone was harsh, rough, and serious. “We still have issues we need to discuss right now.” He turned his head towards the direction of Reality Metropolis—even at this distance, he can tell that the city is completely and utterly empty. “We need to address these issues.”

“Completely agreed, Spina.” A respond to Spina’s comment came from a figure that appeared behind them. Slowly walking towards the group, with his hands in pockets, Detective Goku had emerged before them. “That was a tough battle, wasn’t it? I figure that you lot was able to overcome the Coin Hunter.” He look up, seeing the transformed Valley; with new additions that makes the place even more menacing and gloomy. “That’s something you don’t see every day. I’ll send someone to investigate this later, but judging from my first look, it’s not spreading outward.” He turned his sights back to the Breakers—and the shift of his aura changed dramatically; an aura emitting “pressure”, but no hint of “malice” nor “intentions”.

Spina narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you handling Kazuki?”

“The Captain is dealing with that for now, on the account he’s still recovering.” Detective Goku said. “I’m here to make an arrest. Several arrest.”
 
Gogeta huffed, trying to raise himself off the ground while the others conversed. He blatantly missed Bara’s look in his motion as well as Bernkastel’s tease; his struggle to even move taking his full attention. He panted heavily after standing up, clutching his knees before turning his attention towards Detective Goku upon entering.

His friend returned at the final line delivered, narrowing his eyes and stepping forward.

“Several? But I was the only one who did anything...we had a deal!!”
 
Bernkastel limply hung like a soggy towel in Zenta's hands, though she feebly wiggled her legs trying to adjust the discomfort. When her attention was directed toward the Reality Metropolis, or lack thereof, her ears flattened upon remembering that she and Gogeta fought Ultraman there. Although she had been suddenly transported here, the fight must have continued-- regardless, she knew there was footage of most of the fight somewhere.

"Oh it's you again. I take it I'm one of the arrests too," she said as if it wasn't much of a surprise. Then again, she had no ability to resist whatsoever anyway. "I did take part in fighting Ultraman with Gogeta after all... among other things you probably want to charge me with." Her body language still portrayed a sense of unease towards him; was he here to arrest them all?
 
Panich watched as the group began to casually chat with each other about the battle finally being won. She remained silent, inching away from them slightly until she was a good distance away. Once Spina took his firm tone and Detective Goku appeared, she tried to use this opportunity to take her own leave before any of their eyes could shift to her.
 
Cross says "we do have a number of external issues to resolve that annoyingly have to be resolved now."

Cross says to Gogate and Bernkastle "He referring to all our all us because the government they serve fall to take in a count a lot factors." 

Cross looks at Pinch and says "Running will only make things worst." Something in Pinch told her that Cross was not joking.

Cross says turning to Goku "I guesting you got the damages because it would be nice to compere numbers." Goku notices the same book that Cross token our the first time they meant. Odds are It will fall on Cross' underlings to fix the city regardless.
 
Zenta felt Bernkastel wiggle about so he lowered her back to the ground before addressing Lucifer. He offered a humble bow to the Fallen Angel as he gave a proper introduction.

"Yes, these circumstances are quite bothersome but introductions are always welcomed," Zenta quipped. "My visor is simply to hide a ghastly fate bestowed on me, that, and I am bashful of showing my face. However, being blind has not stopped me from training. And yes, you are correct, Mr. Morningstar, I am Zenta. The other Breakers know me as Cuki's Master."

As Zenta introduced himself to Lucifer and anyone else who was new, Cuki watched him in silence. She then turned to the city, or what was left of it. Her ears flatten and her shoulders slumped upon seeing the destruction. Smoke billowed from the city and the tallest buildings were either ruined or set ablaze. Cuki was unaware of what happened in the city but her mind was full of the possible screams the innocent people did in their last breath. The girl clenched her fists but let out a sigh which allowed her to relax slightly. 

The city is in ruins... Things are going to get interesting from here, albeit not for us. 

However, when she overheard Detective Goku's voice mention arrests, her eyes widen at the thought.

"Several arrests? But... I didn't do anything..."
 
“I made no such deals, Gogeta. I never stated that you’re the only one I’m arresting. You’re just happen to be nearby at that time. Now that all you gathered in one place; this makes my job significantly easier.” Detective Goku responded to the fusion. “I advise you to take heed of Cross’ warning. I’m certainly not in the mood of giving chase, so stick around.” The detective warned Panich without even looking at her direction. 

“Numbers? Sorry, but that won’t be necessary. You seems to be assuming a lot of factors while discontinuing the major contribution of what led me here.” Detective Goku turned to the direction of the city. “That city is in complete and utter ruin, and the dozens of people that managed to be evacuated had already left to other cities. I made sure of that.”

Detective Goku took out his left arm out of his pocket and extended forward. Slowly opening his left hand, he dropped several Vortex Coins—all of Cross’ underlings in the city—onto the ground. “These belong to you, right? I took care of them for you before they start interjecting themselves to this city and possibility other cities.”

Spina narrowed his eyes. “They didn’t have anything to do with this.”

“Don’t be daft.” Detective Goku returned his left arm in his pockets. “No matter how you look at it—all the consequences that happen for the few weeks were bad decisions laid out by you guys. The worst offenders were Gogeta and Bernkastel. Thousands of Vortex Coins perished by his hands, and by extension, the Witch of Miracles; the damaging reputation fueled by the RNN. And the best justification you can come up with is “we served” the government that I have to make my arrest? Naivety won’t get you lot anywhere. “I didn’t do anything” doesn’t cut it here.”

Tilting his head, Detective Goku staring at Gogeta. “Your friend over there just declared himself as a villain across live, national television, just as he was beating Ultraman to near-death just to get a fight out of him. The people don’t care about the circumstances nor context—nothing—in their eyes—justify the absolute destruction of the city. They fled, the city is in shambles with no chance of rebuilding, and your reputation is completely ruined. Any connection to your group will be meant with scorn, and that includes these grunts—all thanks to this guy.”
 
The air around the Breakers and the Detective became heavy. Despite the calm and quiet demeanor without any hint of malicious around him, Detective Goku was firm in his stance and his reasoning for his actions. “With that said and done, I’m going to take Gogeta, and Bernkastel, and a few of you with me.” He started walking towards them.

Spina’s eyes widened. “Wait, can we just talk this out?! You can take the clown away, but Bernkastel—”

“Talk about what?” Detective Goku said. “What can anyone of you can possibly say at this moment, without whataboutism, shifting the blame and “unfair” news broadcast?”
 
Gogeta frowned, his head dipping a bit in seemingly the first time in feeling actual shame at his actions once Detective Goku pointed at him. However, in complete disregard for Detective Goku's prediction of how the Breakers' would try to justify themselves, Gogeta narrowed his eyes and spoke with a stern tone in his dual voice.

"Hey, that isn't fair!! I said I was the villain; I'm not even a Breaker!! Leave them out of this; you can clear their name by telling everyone I was the problem!"
