The Reality Vortex: New Roads

Panich continued to watch the absolute parade in front of her, tapping her foot almost impatiently. Her eyes widened, though at the sight of Whis. She was almost tempted to question him about this whole Vortex thing but with how the angel's presence commanded everyone's attention, she decided against it. 

Come to think of it... They seemed very invested in their conversation of what to do with the Breakers. A possible opening presenting itself? As the princess had that thought, she was suddenly off, disappearing from sight a good distance away before taking off like a rocket in meer seconds. A large gust of wind blew up debris and gravel, blew in the groups face after her take off. 

Perfect exit. She smirked to herself.
 
Zenta frowned having heard that this was not the first time that Bernkastel and Gogeta messed up, assuming all of this was a one-time thing. He seemed to cough slightly when he heard it was fourth time, no doubt his words seemed foolish now.

Here I thought they made this error once, but four times? Self-control is an understatement...

Zenta's ears perked upon hearing a familiar voice and turned to face the Angel himself, Whis.

"Ah, I recognize that carefree voice," Zenta chuckled before bowing his head to the Angel. "It is such a pleasure to hear from you again, Whis! My, my, it seems you certainly enjoyed your time off. Slacking off already, Whis?"

Zenta joked with the Angel before turning back to Detective Goku and the situation at hand.

"Goku, was it? I am inclined to agree with Whis. I encourage you to leave the Breakers with us, we will keep a keen eye on them. I am sure the Breakers will learn with our methodology."

Cuki continued to protest against Goku until Whis's familiar cheerful voice snapped her back. The sensation was odd to her. She had tears rolling down her cheeks but she tried her best to remain calm. She sniffled slightly but turned away, refusing to acknowledge the moment. At least his voice seemed to calm her down but it was odd since she would normally rush back crying. From the looks of it, Cuki was holding back a lot in front of the Breakers. The stress literally ate her up physically and mentally. She could not react accordingly due to the lack of sleep and other things piled upon her.

At least... he's back.
 
Cross says to Pinch before going back to the conversation he was having with the others "What did I just tell you Panich." As chines rapped around her and did drag her back were she was.

Cross says "Sorry for not greeting you before Whis I was partly keep an eye on Panch."
 
Bernkastel's ears drooped and her tail curled between her legs from Goku's scolding. "I had my reasons..." she trailed off with a nearly imperceptible voice. There was no reasoning she could use to convince him, his mind seemed entirely made up. And she was too exhausted to think a way out-- defeating one threat wasn't nearly enough to justify letting them go after everything before. She just looked at Gogeta dejectedly and made a slight nod in response, having accepted the inevitable... all that just to go in the slammer. She couldn't believe it...

However, upon hearing Whis's voice from behind the group her ears pointed straight up, alerted as Bernkastel tried to look for him despite being in the detective's grip. It was Whis, for real! She was so relieved to just hear his voice, she meowed loudly while wiggling her legs. "S-see, Whis c-completely understands! I-it's a p-perfectly sound idea i-if you ask me, heh..." she quickly quieted down her yammering, suddenly feeling rather vulnerable about Whis being there to see her in an embarrassing position. Such a verbal lashing made her want to curl up into a tiny ball in shame as it was but his presence made it really hammer in.
 
“Your annoyance aside, you are lucky that I’m not arresting you.” Detective Goku deflected Cross’ points. “Don’t make yourself susceptible to arrest. Your underlings did their purpose—and I did mines. Nothing more.” After a moment, the detective shook his head. “Doubling down won’t make your points have any metric. No one forced you to behave in such manner—you did it to yourselves. Showing me memories will not cut it.”

Being firmed in his position, Detective Goku’s noticed Gogeta’s change of tone. He turned his head slightly, seeing Whis approaching the group with a change of attire. “Hmm?”

“Oh? Someone had just shown up.” Lucifer whispered to himself, seeing Panich blasted off, only to be dragged by Cross. “Things kept getting interesting…”

Spina turned around, seeing that Panich blasting off. He was about to go after her, but Cross had already captured her an dragged her back the group. The old Saiyan turned back to the arrival of Whis—the first time he seen him since the events of the Doom battle. “So that’s where you have been…”

“Whis…” Detective Goku said without any hesitation. “I hardly call saving the world to excuse all their bad actions. Had Hart never attack them, they would’ve continued regardless. Blank Guy, the incident on the Detective Agency, and Gogeta fighting Ultraman were isolated incidents from Hart. That is something I cannot overlook.”

Detective Goku turned around to face the Blue Angel, and Zenta joining the cause to further his own thoughts. “Why are you guys want to die on this hill so much? Their negative connotation will drag you through the mud. And for now on, everywhere you go, just by association, you will be considered a threat, an enemy and a “villain” thanks to these two. Are you prepared to have that stigma attached?” He asked, seeing Cross, Spina, Bernkastel, Zenta and Whis weigh in their opinions on the matter. The more of them kept pressing on, he begins to reconsider a bit as he hold onto Gogeta and Bernkastel firmly.
 
Brachi remained silent, but smiled as she accepted a few candies which Bara had offered her, giving her Majin bestie a loving pat on the head for that gesture.

"Thank you." She said to her, making Bara smile at that.
 
Panich felt secure in her escape before being yanked to a full stop by the chains. "What the..!!" She growled, flailing her body around in an attempt to break through the chains. Dammit! The stupid bag of bones.
 
Whis stifled another small giggle, Boeing his head curtly at Zenta as his only small measure to address the Breakers as a whole before turning back to Detective Goku.

“Come now, Detective, the entire reason for the Breakers entering into Reality Metropolis was for information on the Coin Hunter. Your city was just dragged in the middle of two titanic powers clashing from the start.”

His warm smile remained, his narrowed eyes softening a bit as he spoke.

“As for your question, of course I’m willing to stand on this hill; it is quite common that those who see my work question the why behind it. Take, Lord Beerus for example; he often destroyed entire civilizations purely out of boredom.”

He then nodded to the Detective, gesturing slightly with his right hand.

“Then there’s you; a former man who can relate to Gogeta best. After all, there was a time when at least one of you put the entire multiverse in danger for the very same reasons as him.-“

Whis giggles again, covering his mouth.

“Ohoho! You even got some of them erased!”

Coughing audibly, Whis quickly regained his composure before resuming with a sincere tone.

“-but I digress: the point, is that I stood behind you even when...well...everyone would say you never deserved such excuse from justice. Not because I felt you deserved it, or perhaps, did not warrant the negativity.”

Whis’ smile rose, nodding back to Detective Goku.

“I did it because I wanted to turn a simple brute with a good heart, into something like you are today. It was always a great pleasure to see those who held great power learn to master and control it well. I did it once with you, and in turn, you saved the entire multiverse from destruction at the hands of Lord Zeno. There will always be casualties in that growth, Son Goku, and while you may think it better to lock them away to prevent further harm, you still don’t realize the truth behind seeking justice for your lost city.”

His eyebrows narrowed a bit.

“We can argue all day what’s fair and justice, but in the end, it won’t matter. The Vortex needs the Breakers; the people just don’t realize it yet. There are far greater threats to this realm than even you may have seen; we need them to grow, not to rot away in prison.”
 
Brachi listened to what Whis said.

"I agree with Whis. Don't get me wrong, I wholeheartedly take responsibility for whatever stuff I've done and I wish to apologize for all the damage I have caused from the depths of my heart, so I would have turned myself in regardless, or am willing to do what needs to be done to make up for my mistakes, but if those threats show up and cause destruction all over again, I want to be there to at least buy enough time for the populace to escape and be strong enough to do my part to stop from making things worse. I don't care what people may think of me; as long as I am free to do what is necessary to keep whatever remains of the Metropolis or other surrounding cities safe from any future threats, and hopefully be reunited with the ones I care about the most." She then said. 

Bara noted that Brachi sounded quite humble; freely admitting to whatever mistakes she has made and being willing to make up for them, regardless of what others may think of her.
 
"It matters not what the people think of me, so I am willing to bear the burden of Lady Bernkastel and Gogeta. It will be another path to walk and learn from, both me and those two respectively. Although they are responsible for massive damage, endless carnage, and years of mistrust, they are still capable of changing themselves regardless of whether you agree or not."

Zenta dusted the fur on his forearms while slowly gazing towards Detective Goku.

"Honestly, it reminds me of a sentence I am currently serving, so I rather not see Lady Bernkastel and Gogeta suffer the same fate."

Cuki remained silent, listening closely to what everyone had to say. While she looked calm, she was shaking with fury upon hearing the consequences of what Bernkastel and Gogeta did and how they will have to hold that burden.

No... No! I'm not okay with that..! Why should I deal with their issues?!
