Cuki giggled as some of her friends squirmed and others returned the hug. She released the Breakers and jumped from excitement.

"Let's go get that Coin Hunter, save Vegetto, and bring him back to the group!" Cuki pumped a fist into the air. "Lead the way little Lucifer!"
 
Spina looked around the room once more to see if anything is needed but seeing that Lady Lightstep along with Cross’ minions are attending the place and making sure everything is in order, he’d no reason to worry. “Yeah, let’s go.”

Lucifer nodded. “Well then, without further delay…” Lucifer spread out his wings far and wide, causing a strange magic around everyone. “Teleportation”. The tall angel uttered. Instantly, it feels like they haven’t moved, but the location did. They were in their home, but now they were in the middle of Reality Metropolis. “Alright… here we are. I took courtesy of teleporting near the site where the rumor is mostly concentrated.

Reality Metropolis​
 
One of the most highly populated cities in Reality Vortex, Reality Metropolis is a melting pot of diverse cultures from many different universes. So many restaurants, social clubs, shops, etc., all have different things to offer for anyone to taste the distinctive feeling from their original universes. Compared to the original Reality Vortex that was barren and had little-to-no people, this city was filled to the brim with many different people. 

The moment that the Breakers arrived, everyone near the area stopped in their tracks and staring them with intensity in their eyes in the midst of total silence. Immediately afterwards, they resumed to their daily activities.

Spina raised a brow, feeling a bit pressured to be put in the middle of a populated area. “Never going to get use to seeing this many people at once.”

“Really? I loved to see so many people assert their autonomy at once, so it’s a thrill visiting this city among my travels.” Lucifer said. “Come, there is a place that has a person that knows something about the Coin Hunter. We shall start there and begin our investigations. Be careful to not get lost—most won’t mess with the Breakers, but probably not someone like Panich, Gogeta and Slayer. So, keep one of them one a leash so they don’t act out.” Lucifer chuckled, leading the Breakers to the small building called The Mother.

Upon entrance, they witnessed various well-dressed monsters and demon characters in the building, all social with one another and providing each other with drinks, foods and exquisite entertainment such as darts, pool table and more.

“Ah! Mr. Morningstar! Pleasure to seeing you come to my establishment! You’re here yet another round of delicious wine and dining?” A voice was heard. He had a skeleton head, wearing a blue jacket as his right eyes flickered from red to blue. “If you were coming, you should had call me earlier, I would love to reverse a spot for you!”

“Today’s no good. We’re here for a different purpose, Wordplay. We need some information regarding the Coin Hunter. I heard you have plenty of rumors about them.” Lucifer responded.

“Different purpose, huh? About Coin Hunter....” Wordplay's eyes drifted over, seeing Breakers, more specifically, Bernkastel and Cross among them. “Uh… what are they doing here?” Sweats instantl formed around his temple, dripping down rapidly.
 
Cross thinks "so far it seems that it's I being proactive in this case." Some the logos of some fashionable seem to suspiciously look like Cross' crest or some others have Cross' crest proper.

Cross thinks "I could list a lot reason that Worldplay shooed be afraid of me but not one them involved our battle." Cross shows no reaction to seeing Worldplay.
 
Gogeta followed after the others, having remained mostly silent in looking around the city and onlookers with a happy expression. He peered around the Mother once the group had entered the building, but turned his attention towards Wordplay in hearing his shift in tone at Bernkastel and Cross’ presence.

Instantly dashing up to Wordplay, Gogeta rubbed his chin and studied Wordplay as he sweated with an intense, suspicious stare. He glanced back towards Bernkastel for a moment before breaking out into a smirk.

“Ha I got this one!”

Gogeta cleared his throat, his cocky smirk forming in pointing at Wordplay, his finger inches from where Wordplay’s nose would be if he had one. His arm muscles flared as he spoke with a dramatic loud tone in his dual voice.

“They are here to make sure you help us find the Coin Hunter!! Or risk the wrath of the strongest Breaker-“

Gogeta paused, stepping back a couple of steps, and squatting down with one hand covering his mouth in whispering in Bernkastel’s ear.

“Umm...what was your name again?”



Sitting at a nearby bar, a normal looking human male poked his head up, pushing his glasses a bit closer on his face at the commotion across the way. He sat in his seat, watching the Breakers interacting with Wordplay.
 
Cuki stared up at the people within the giant city, not completely understanding their fear, simply assuming they did not want problems. She followed Lucifer into The Mother building and her eyes widen upon seeing so many different types of monsters. Her tail twitched with bewilderment and stared at the more wild looking monsters and creatures. She finally glued her eyes on Wordplay and how he was nervous around Cross and Bernkastel. She had no idea who he is and only assumed he was friends with Bernkastel in some way.

"Is he part of your universe, Bernkastel? He knows you and he sure seems to fear you," Cuki giggled. "What kind of mean things did you do to this guy?"
 
"Oh, right... I forgot to properly tell you... it's Bernkastel." Bern replied to Gogeta placidly, lifting her hand to point in Wordplay's direction with an amused smile.

"This is Wordplay. When we were split up, some of us got matched against him as a group. I didn't do anything too mean..." Bernkastel played with a lock of her hair idly, smile still on her face. "Just simple psychological horrors of the mind. But that was only after he was still standing after giving us so much trouble. Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble... Lucifer took us along anyway."
 
Slayer just watched from the sidelines, as after all he was only interested in the Coin hunter and trying to figure out where his family was.
 
Wordplay’s bones jittered upon eyeing both Bernkastel and Cross. His words slurs, he placed both hands on each side of his head, realizing that it was about to come off his body. “Um, uhhh…” He couldn’t muster a word in after Gogeta pointed his finger at him, being put on the spot in front of not only his customers, but the front of the Breakers.

“Ah, one of Doctor Doom’s lackeys from before. I guess he managed to recover in the Vortex Coin. I guess Demi-Fiend really got the short end of the stick here.” Spina was kept to his own thoughts as he studied the ordeal. “That’s for the best.” Spina grabbed Gogeta’s back collar, picking him up like a child and placing him near Bernkastel. “Never mind him, but we’re on tight on time. Do you have any information about this Coin Hunter?”

“Uh, Coin Hunter…” Wordplay pulled out a towel, wiping the sweats around his temple. “I heard secondhand information about such a warrior. He was completely decimated most of the population in Reality Town a while back. So, I heard that he has a base around here, but no one knows for sure.” He was constantly going through towels as they were absorbed so much water, it couldn’t take anymore since Cross and Bernkastel was causing his bones to shake. “Um, I know a guy that actually had an encounter with Coin Hunter, well, at least, what he claims to be. He was with a friend and they got ambushed. He survive, but his friend perished, turned into a coin and was taken away. Apparently, the Coin Hunter is a stealth warrior with lots of powerful skills, some familiar to him.”

Lucifer rubbed his chin. “Is that guy still around?”

“Unfortunately, um, he ditched the city and went to Beach Town near the Bottomless Ocean. But he did give me something that supposedly relates to the Coin Hunter. I personally not interested in fighting anymore, so I can pass this one to you.” Wordplay pulled a card with a symbol that resembled a mask with rainbow coloring.

Spina grabbed the card. “A mask?”

“I guess he’s some kind of mask warrior. Makes sense so he won’t be easily identified through appearance.” Wordplay went through another row of towels. “Though, I do know that those that make those cards—it’s called CardMaker Shop. He might give you an idea who’d he distributed it too. That's all I know..."
 
Cross says to Worldplay "I will make the same agreement as Bernkastel." Cross thinks "Bernkastel and my self were 2 of the people that did beat him and fairly soundly if I recall."
