"I remember the card had a mask on it, if that narrows anything down." 

Bernkastel turned away from the sirens and sounds of chaos going on outside with a silent acceptance that whatever mess the others were about to leave wouldn't be without some form of cleanup. Her eyes looked over the cards on display to think about the one the thief stole, but she didn't quite get the appeal of collecting such items.

"It had some kind of colorful glaze on it too... like some of these here," Bernkastel pointed at a few that looked to have the rainbowed look. She hadn't any clue as to why some did and others didn't.
 
Gogeta's head turned to the side, blinking at the flashing blue and red lights below. He continued his flight with the others, but his attention was on the police cruisers below with a heavy furrow of his brow.

"RMPD? What is that?"

He yelped, turning his head back in time to see the massive wall of smoke incoming on the group. He came to a silent, screeching halt in flailing his arms and legs to slow down as much as possible, bracing a bit at the chaos of the police cruisers crashing into the truck. Gogeta narrowed his blue eyes a bit, seeing the small trail of volatile gas left as the only clue towards Blank Man's trail. Gogeta turned to the others, having thought for only a split second, and quickly raised his right hand up to press two fingers to his forehead.

"Good luck everyone!"

He suddenly disappeared into thin air.




In the card shop, Gogeta suddenly appeared next to Spina and yelped in stumbling a bit on his landing, knocking into Spina and nearly toppling them both over to the floor. He caught himself after a couple of steps however, bolting to the door with a sheepish grin.

"Sorry! I remembered your energy signature from the fight earlier! I'll be right back!"

The fusion didn't wait for a reply, shattering the twin doors of glass and steel leading into the card shop and stumbled out into a hurried frenzy onto the street. Crowds of pedestrians gasped, quickly backing up at the sudden explosive movement of Gogeta onto the street, who turned his head towards the sky. His blue eyes narrowed once more, seeing the small smoke trail high in the sky. With a small, amused scoff, he pulled his right hand up and fired of a small blast of blue energy at blinding speeds. The blast blasted through the thin line of volatile smoke, and ignited the entire trail in the middle. The searing flames began to shoot down towards the ground and across the skyline in opposing directions.

Gogeta kept his smirk, his blue aura flaring dramatically as he crouched down. His eyes followed the fire, using the visual to track down Blank Man. His eyes turned a bit further forward in recognizing the full flight pattern of the escaping man, and he suddenly launched another blast of small blue energy at blinding speeds through the city skyline.

The fusion wasted no time in pulling the same arm that fired the blast back in tense surge of energy, his fist radiating blue lightning and energy around his entire forearm in the blue aura surging on the street. Gogeta then suddenly raised his free arm up, two fingers pressing into his forehead and rapidly disappearing into thin air with the violent winds blasting through the street left in his wake.




In front of Blank Man's current path of trajectory, a small blast of blue energy rapidly zipped by much faster than even trained eyes could see. In the instant it passed by, Gogeta suddenly appeared in the sky, in a direct collision course with Blank Man with his fist cocked back. His blue aura flared violently, his muscles tensing heavily in preparation for his strike.

"HYAHH!!!!!!"

A surge of blue energy spilled off the fusion's pupils, and with a thunderous roar, Gogeta hurled his fist forward in a downwards spike, attempting to punch Blank Man down towards the street if connected.
 
“A mask can certainly narrowed things down a bit.” Kazuki commented on Bernkastel’s comment on the mask on the card. “It just me running the shop.” Kazuki answered Cross. “As for regulars, there was this one guy... Normally, he’d stick to the Breakers cards whenever they are available in print.” He rubbed his chin trying to recall his name. “What’s his name, what’s his name. Ah, I remember. It’s was U-“

Spina fell to the floor, causing to drop his pants which exposed his draws. “Ah! You bonehead! What are you doing!”

Furthermore, Kazuki had lost his train of thought when Gogeta appeared in his shop. Before anyone could get a word in, the fusion dashed off to the streets, leaving a wave of destruction in his wake. The amount of glass and steel being shattered and ripped from the walls respectively, Kazuki jumped over the corner to collect the cards that was flung everywhere. He’d attempted to scold Gogeta, but he was already gone. “Who the hell was that!? Damnit! They’re everywhere!”

“Looks like Gogeta is having fun.” Lucifer chuckled. “Mr. Kazuki, you were saying?”

“Saying?! Gogeta!? I ain’t saying a damn thing until this mess is clean! Oh, when I see that guy again, I’m going to give him a thing or two!” Kazuki picked up the cards in an angry manner.

Blank Guy soared across the sky in blistering speeds. He’d turned his head just slightly just to see if the others were still on his tail. However, he did a double take, seeing a mountain of flames erupting from behind, trailing very closely to his feet. He resumed his position by facing forward to boost himself away from the blazing storm, only to see a ball of energy dashed by him instantly. Distracted, Blank Guy panicked and attempt to disperse, but he was punched before he had the chance. He’d flung backward and got swallowed in the depths of the burning clouds, slamming against the concrete ground near the streets hard. A crater formed from the impact, pushing him further into the ground as debris flung around as the storm of fire clouds twirls around like a rapid tornado. 

Blank Guy struggled to stand, shaking his head, realizing that the boot and bowtie he had was no longer on his possession. “!???” He turned around and noticed that his leg was injured and faced significant burns, but still managed to run in attempt to build some speed.
 
Cross casts a spell "once the others chasing the one that token the card come this way or a reasonable amount of time then it will be like it never happened." the spell will clean up the mess and make like the mess was never made.
 
One of Brachi's clones intercepts the Blank Man, making him trip over his feet in order to make him stumble and fall, while also hindering his speed so the others could catch up to him. 

"You're NOT getting away, thief!" She said.
 
Panich was taken by surprise when Gogeta disappeared and left her and Brachi with the explosion. Luckily that wasn't nearly enough to finish the princess off. As the blank guy did his double take, he would see Panich soaring out from the flames looking much more evil then intended. Flames encased her gloves as the fiery gleam reflected off her face and eyes. She quickly trailed the group again as Gogeta brought the little troublemaker down for the count. Hopefully Brachi could hold it down so Panich could beat it to a pulp.
 
"That newbie is getting on my nerves..." Cuki said under her breath as she held on to the card that was about her. She sighed, picking up a few cards that laid on the floor. "I guess the others are having a bit too much fun getting that guy. Looks like they forgot why we came here."

Cuki shook her head and gathered the remaining few cards on the floor. She placed them near Kazuki.

"So you were about to mention a name. Who constantly buys the Breakers cards?"
 
"Are these pieces of colorful cardstock that popular to collect?" Bernkastel questioned, though she was more busy cursing Gogeta internally for having only one brain cell to think so impulsively with. She held out a hand to reverse the shattering of the glass doors and display windows, muffling a yawn with one hand. "And why buy so many of the same thing? That's some hobby. But don't mind the blue-haired buffoon. We only need the name and we'll be out of your sight."
===========

Out in the streets, Bernkastel's familiar was thrown off significantly by the sheer destruction being wrought everywhere the chasing Breakers went. The cat simply wasn't able to keep up, much less with the rubble cutting off its ability to track them down. It saw amusement in wanting to mess with the RMPD, however...

Trotting along, it casually crouched on the sidewalk before flicking out its claws, which glowed pink with magic. It started to murmur like it was chanting something before gently pawing at random fixtures, trotting away around a corner with its own little laugh as fire hydrants immediately exploded into jetstreams of gushing water. Streetlights suddenly warped and twisted, threatening to topple over and crash onto any vehicles below. Traffic lights also began blinking random colors.
 
Kazuki raised a brow after Cross states that the shop will be in good shape once the others returned with the card. He, however, was still grumpy of the ordeal. “I’m still tick off. Breakers or not, you don’t just come in here and start making a damn mess. I’m running a business here, you see, and stuff like thrashing my place isn’t a good look. Last thing I want is to accuse of going against you guys.” Kazuki lifted his finger, pointing at them, especially after Cuki requested the name and Bernkastel urging that they’ll leave once the name is received. “I’ll tell you the name. In exchange, you will have to pose for me for the upcoming editions for the Brave Worlds cards I’m planning on releasing in the future. I won’t take no for an answer.”

“Uh!? A picture!?” Spina stood up, holding onto his belt way above his waist. 

“Yes. You know how damn difficult to get a decent pic of you guys? Especially Cuki and Cross. No one could even get close to your apartment without getting booted.” Kazuki said.

“Well, if our friends returned with the card, will you tell us the identity who mass produced them as well?” Lucifer asked. 

“Yes. Gladly—only if you take the picture. That includes you, pretty boy.” Kazuki said. 

=====

Blank Guy tripped from Brachi’s leg, fell face-first towards the ground and causing more injury on his foot. While struggling to lift his body up from the ground, he heard stomping footsteps from behind, seeing that Brachi, Panich and Gogeta are approaching behind him. Blank Guy went to grab some items from his pocket but realized that he ran out of it after using the most of it during the gas explosion to repelled himself forward to escape the city. Forced to the corner with little option to escape, Blank Guy stood on, barely, on his feet and faced them. He held up his fists.

“Impressive.”

Blank Guy cocked his arm back as he tightened his fist. The amount of smoke pouring out of his arm as cracks spread throughout underneath his feet. The smell of gas spread throughout the area once again; even the tiniest hint of energy would cause a destructive explosion around them if it were to go off in the area-filled gas. Finally, Blank Guy launched his fist towards Brachi—the real one—in rapid speeds, slamming against her face.

It would’ve pushed her towards Panich and Gogeta, and with the energy created from that impact, it would engulf into a fiery explosion. 

But that didn’t happen. Instead, upon contact on Brachi’s face, she didn’t move an inch. She didn’t feel any significant or power behind Blank Guy’s punch. It felt like she was hit with a feathered pillow. After a few seconds of silent, Blank Guy started to sweat.
 
Brachi remained standing in place even as the fist hit her like that, making her more annoyed than she already was.

"What was THAT supposed to be?" She asked, before grabbing the Blank Man's fist, and delivering a punch to the stomach of her own to the Blank Man.

Now, Brachi DID hold back on the force of the punch as to not cause any lasting damage, but it would in any case cause the Blank Man to double over from the pain, knocking the wind out of his sails in the process, and allowing Gogeta and Panich to catch up to her.
