Bernkastel let put an agitated grunt, raking her hands down her face in annoyance. Without her large bowtie obscuring the view, the bodice of her dress was visible and while she thankfully had buttoned up to the collar, it meant more eyes would be drifting to look at elsewhere besides her face... which she hated.

"The damn thief took my bow too! Aargh, I don't have time to deal with this AND babysit a meathead at once! Forget it, I'm coming with."

Crossing her arms over her chest and grumbling to herself, she followed the others who had stayed towards the card shop. Her shadow trailed behind her and began to stretch until the shadow of a cat was moving independent of her. 

"You can go and help retrieve it while I'm gone! And make sure that dimwit Gogeta doesn't blow up half the city in the meantime! He should be as easy to find as the others since he smells like a gym locker." Bern ordered, pouring wine from the bottle into a flask to drink from in a more portable manner. "I need a drink..."

The ghostly feline slinked off towards the others by following their scent trails under cover of the shade. It peeked over from a corner to watch them apprehend the thief; it didn't intend to fight unless absolutely necessary but it stood as watchful sentry.
 
“I can’t go like this!” Spina held onto his pants tightly. Every time he walked, he felt that his pants was going to drop down any moment. Seeing Brachi, Gogeta, Panich and Bernkastel’s Cat dashed to catch the thief made him worry. “Shit, what if it creates unnecessary attention?” The old Saiyan thought to himself he followed along with Lucifer, Cross, Cuki, Bernkastel and Slayer.

“While they go and capture the thief, we should focus on the Cardmaker Shop.” Lucifer, walking towards in shop—it wasn’t long until they found it. It was medium game building with posters of the Breakers plastered all over the walls including “new content” of their official card game, Brave Worlds. It seems to just start to open despite being relatively new.

The door opened, a man with a small moustache wearing a black uniform. He had a named tag “Kazuki”. Looking up, he saw Breakers. “Oh? People lined up already….” If you’re here for the Yoshida-Ikumi Set, they’re not out yet… Hey… aren’t you…” Before he say anything else, his questions got muffled from the explosions from Gogeta’s attack.

"I think we should take this conversation inside." Lucifer said, pushing Kazuki within the building.

"H-hey! What's the big idea?" Kazuki said. "You're blocking the entrance for the others to come in."

Blank Guy shook his head, despite having no face, he’d appeared shock that Gogeta was that fast—another person managed to tag him (referring to what Brachi did before). Before having the chance to recover, he was picked up from the ground in front of the young angry Saiyan Princess. He’d attempt to flail around but to no avail. Blank Guy relaxed his muscles seeing Panich, Gogeta and Brachi and their clones.

When Panich asked him a question, Blank Guy’s moved his shoulders, seemingly chuckling despite no sounds being heard. He spread out his arms, his body turning into smokes once again with an instant flash—and reappearing on top of the building near them. He inserted his foot in Panich's boot, placed Gogeta’s wrist band on his left arm, Bernkastel’s bowtie on his chest as he flipped the Vortex Coin, he’d took from Brachi. Blank Guy held up his hand in a taunting motion towards the three as he hopped around. It was a statement that if they want those items, they’ll have to catch him—and see if they’re faster than him, a challenge. He crouched down, his legs expanded greatly, showing nothing but pure muscle.

Blank Guy, after issuing that challenge, dashed forward in incredible speeds, leaving huge amount of smokes for every step. Jumping from building to building, then hop on the road as he ran, anyone nearby had their belongings flung around, papers caught in the wind generate from his speeds.
 
Panich's eye twitched as the blank man taunted them by playing with their belongings. She growled and jumped, disappearing for a moment and reappeared, leaping toward the thief before he blew her back into the air with his speed. 

"So the little pissant wants to play? He better enjoy it because it'll be the last game he plays with two legs!" Her eyes for a second looked as if they gleamed red. Sparks began to fly around her legs as her build up sounded as if a rocket were gearing to break the sound barrier. "Run, run, run~. As fast as you can~." 

Panich smirked devilishly, before releasing the stored energy in a rage, causing a similar gust of wind to carelessly rip through the city as she gave chase.
 
Gogeta nearly chuckled at the taunt, his smirk widening in watching Blank Man dash away once more. He clenched his fists, his pupils enlarging violently as a brilliant white gleam overtook his entire body. The ground shook, nearby glass from the skyscrapers exploding outwards and cascading down onto the crowd of onlookers from the force of Gogeta and Panich's combined explosions of power. The panic stricken pedestrians began to run about, some violently and gruesomely caught in the debris crashing down onto them. Coins of the fallen began to litter the street.

The white light soon shattered outwards like glass from Gogeta's body, a blue aura soon encompassing his form. Despite the ensuring destruction and death, the crowd of pedestrians ironically cheered and screamed in delight at the sighting of Super Saiyan Blue once again despite many of them bloodied and maimed from the falling glass, and Gogeta soon erupted forward in weaving through the skyscrapers to chase after Blank Man.




"There it is, ladies and gentlemen!! Super Saiyan Blue! This form, as many of you Breaker fans might recall, is the combination of a legendary Saiyan transformation with the overwhelming energy of a god! At the Pork and Rines' smoke house and bar this Sunday, do make sure you're present for a chance to win a very special, ultra rare edition of Super Saiyan Blue Brachi and Vegetto trading cards!"

"Trading cards, Janet?! Will they feature this new Breaker that showed up too?!"

"That's right, Jim! In honor of the new release of 'Brave Worlds', Pork and Rines' has teamed up with Kazuki's Cardmaker Shop to promote the new trading card game, we already have a common trading card rarity of this new Breaker, 'Panich' in production! Only available while supplies last!"

"Wow, I can't wait to get mine! Do you think they'll be selling any copies of the legendary rare Bernkastel or Ultra Instinct Vegetto?!"

"Jim, stick to the script. We're promoting Super Saiyan Blue, then Super Saiyan 4. We'll save that one for later."



Reality Metropolis Police Headquarters, Floor 78

The glaring broadcast of the ongoing chase rung out from a TV situated high in the small, office space corner. Many gathered men and women in blue officer uniforms gathered around, watching the development in silence while consuming their morning breakfast and coffee.

A human woman with blonde hair strode through the hallway leading to her office from the gathered crowd of officers, but before she could make it, an officer waved her down and gestured to the TV.

"Hey Captain, you seeing this? The Breakers are here in Reality Metropolis! You want us to bring them in?"

The blonde woman barely turned her head towards the TV as the group all turned to face her, scoffing and crossing her arms in annoyance.

"Gah! What the hell is wrong with all of you people: let the Breakers be, damnit! They can clean this city up better than you pigs could any day of the week! Now get the hell out of my face and get back to-"

The woman paused mid sentence, her nose bunching up. She suddenly let out a thunderous sneeze, her hair instantly changing to a shade of blue. The officers all deadpanned at the sight, sitting and standing still as the rapidly morphed woman now looked up at the TV with wide eyes. She gasped immediately at the explosions being shown on screen, covering her mouth with both hands.

"Oh dear!! Those poor innocent people!"

She quickly dashed up to the screen, waving her arms out to the others in a high pitched, soft voice.

"No no no! We can't allow this to happen!! Everyone, I want all units deployed to apprehend the Breakers at once! We need to be providing peace, justice, and security to everyone!!"

The woman slowly turned to the side, gently reaching out and caressing a large poster of Ultraman adorning the wall.

"For our beloved Ultraman, we must bring down these anarchists!! For Ultraman!~"

The crowd of officers held up their donuts and coffee to the ceiling, a unified chant emitting in the small room.

"For Ultraman!!"

After the chant, the uniformed men and women quickly hustled around to prepare themselves, leaving the lone captain of a woman standing alone in the vacant room.




Gogeta glanced around in flying after Panich, his blue eyes widening in awe.

"Wow...this city is huge!!"

He nearly slammed into a skyscraper upon the same comment, but quickly dodged out of the way in resuming chase on Blank Man. However, the bright flashing lights of blue and red below on the street soon caught his attention. Hovering space police cars dashed and sped down the roadways after the Breakers, fast enough to remaining in close pursuit while a loud, thunderous voice boomed out over the roaring winds from the lead car's intercom.

"RMPD!! Breakers, stand down and surrender at once!!"
 
Cuki's ears twitched upon hearing the mayhem outside, no doubt caused by the newbies. All she could do was roll her eyes in annoyance while the others got their stuff back. Her interest was leaning more on the cards that were within the shop. Her eyes seem to sparkle at all the types of cards around them. Cuki was careful not to touch anything or make a fuss, examining each card with an odd interest.

"Tons of cards from all over the place. Very interesting." Cuki's tail gently swayed back and forth, her curiosity peaked for the meanwhile. "Excuse me Store owner, we're looking for someone specific and we got a lead that the Coin Hunter came to this shop. Do you know anything about him? I think you might want to make it quick, it looks like the new guys are destroying the city... Ugh, looks like our name is going to get hurt because of those kiddos..."
 
Cross enters the building and thinks "I hope those "Novels" about me and my lieutenants not a thing yet in this eternity." As he enters.

----

A group of woman are discussing about a series of Romance Novels called "the overlord and ______".(These Novels tend to be about Cross and his Lieutenants).  These novels are fairly popluar.
 
Growling, Brachi also went in hot pursuit, never losing sight of the Blank man, thanks to her clones whom were also tracking him from the air, and the fact that she only went Super Saiyan 2, which allowed her to keep up with the Blank Man.

"GET BACK HERE, COWARD!" She snarled, joining Panich and Gogeta in the pursuit.
 
As all the Breakers entered inside the building, staying away from the commotion going on outside, Kazuki went behind the corner and sat on his high stool chair. “First of all, it’s Kazuki, not Store Owner. Remember that. “You know, it’s not every day that the Breakers would even step foot in Reality Metropolis, let alone a shop like this. I mean, legendary Cuki and the mysterious Cross? I bet I can raise the price of these cards after this…” He perk his eyebrows after Cuki asked about the Coin Hunter. “I heard that name frequently in my local bar. I don’t know what to tell you, but he’d never been in my shop, at least, not to my knowledge anyways. What makes you think he was here?”

“Apparently, Wordplay from the Mother stated that the Coin Hunter had a personal card that comes from him. He states that the only way to make these card with that level of detail can only be made here.” Spina responded.

“I see…” Kazuki rubbed his chin. “Frankly, if you have the card, I might tell you who came in here. Do you have the card in question? I have a good memory of people who buy custom-made cards.”

“Uhm... about that…” Spina turned to Cuki and the rest. “It got taken from a thief.”

“Then how am I supposed to give you an answer?” Kazuki said. “Do you what it contains on the card? Some kind of symbol or something?”

======

Blank Guy made effort to turn on each street, in-between the buildings and going through many obstacles in order to deter the Brachi, Gogeta and Panich from keeping up. However, his body shook in concern, seeing their blazing powers rising upon keeping chase—with destruction and violence forming in their wake. Police vehicles blaring their sirens caused the Blank Guy to worry—it’s one thing that these new group, accompanied by a Breaker, is one thing, but now the police is getting in the action? Blank Guy looked head, seeing a nearby hovering Gasoline Truck about to cross the street. This sparks an idea in his head.

He turned around, running backwards to face the incoming police and the New Breakers. Held up his hands with smoke balls in-between his fingers. Blank Guy tossed them towards the ground, creating a literal tsunami of thick and dense smokes to cover the area in between him and the rest as a way to distract the police for a brief moment.

Approaching the truck, Blank Guy jumped on it—the police cars that sped through the dense clouds of smoke didn’t see the truck in front of them and crashed into it. It caused the truck to explode violently, giving a boost of Blank Guy’s speed—flinging him straight onward over the metropolis in rapid speeds, as the smoke he leaves behind turned into violent storms of pure, explosive gas. If any of them made a slight movement of their energy, even at the tiniest bit, it will ignite a fiery storm. However, the trail also leads directly towards Blank Guy.
 
"Oh my, legendary? Me?" Cuki blushed. "I doubt I'm anything that special. Bernkastel and Cross are a lot stronger than me, so I'm sure they're worth a lot in value. But anyway, we had the card earlier but some goonie stole it. The newbies are trying to get it back but... well, let's just hope there's still a city left after they finish. All I remember is that this person is known as the Coin Hunter and he came here to make a super rare card or something. I... didn't get a good look at the card, so I have no idea if it said anything important. I'll let the others handle this, I rather view the cards."

Cuki shrugged at the thought and decided to leave most of the detective work to Bernkastel, Cross, and Spina. She decided to trail off and examine the cards, finding interest in the shiny ones or the ones that showcased the Breakers. Her tail gently swayed back and forth, meticulously looking over each and every card, finding them fascinating. Her eyes slowly scanned the tiny text in the cards and managed to pick out a card with her face and name on it, carefully holding it up to the fight and gazing at the reflective properties of the card. 

Me, a legendary card? What does that even mean anyway? Is that good? Cuki said as she wiggled the card in the air, being slightly more careless. Come to think of it, I see a bunch of cards of the Breakers but the description is a bit... off. I guess it's one way to make money. But there appear to be fewer cards of me than any of the Breakers. Weird...
 
Cross says "Lest hope the others get the man that robed us and get the card." Cross asks Kazuki "Do you have any employees and/or regulars that might seen something?"

Cross sees the Novels of the "overlord and _____" series thinks "I hope these cards are the worst we see in this eternity."
