Gogeta blinked a bit at being shouted at, but the fusion complied and slowly shifted his weight a bit so his legs could push him completely upright. He grimaced as he shuffled after Panich, his arms dangling at his sides in climbing the steps.

Upon entering into the somewhat restored apartment, Gogeta let out a relieved sigh in plopping down onto the closest couch.

"Wow, first that Ultraman guy and now the Coin Hunter? There's so many strong people here; this is awesome!"
 
As Panich headed back to the Apartment Complex, suddenly rebuild somewhat after its destruction. However, due to the significant damage done, things were slightly different on the inside. The second floor had reduced rooms; possible indicator that the apartment complex was still in the process of restoration.

Spina was among the pile in the bodies Panich was carrying on her back. “Ugh….” The old Saiyan muttered under his breath, his eyes becoming swirls. Unable to move his body and the pain was heavy from the surge of energy completely shattered into nothingness.

All over the floors, there was nothing, but Vortex Coins of Cross’ forces shattered all over the stairways, and some on the main area due to being flung from the battle.

Suddenly, the television turned on, revealing the news of the current situation happening in the Reality Metropolis.

“Hello everyone, my name is Chad.” Chad said, placing his pen down on the table.

“And I’m Stacey. We are reporting the latest news from the Reality News Network. We are currently getting reports of the massive damage done to the city. We have damage that rake up a huge amount of dollars to rebuild. The Breakers have demonstrated their pinnacle strength by smashing their way into the town.

“That’s right Stacey. Local hero, Ultraman, who stand before them, fell victim against their power.” Chad said. “Now people are pulling back any businesses and ties towards the group; one person citing that “it’s bad publicity and don’t want to be associated with them.”

“Indeed, we have one person on the scene that wants to talk about the situation on hand. We’re heading to Victor on the scene. Victor?”

“Yes, Stacey. We have one concerned citizen about his thoughts on the Breakers. Sir?” Victor handed the mic over to the man. He was huge, easily towering over Victor with huge muscles around. However, he was wearing a tight suit with a detective cap over his head.

“Ya see laddie. Dem Breakers been popping in here and making a mockery off me detective business, ya see? Working in these conditions is difficult that I’ll be popping in the streets if they don't cease their act! I haven’t been this annoyed since that Bampot Dobber flushed down me important papers in the crapper!”

“… right…” Victor said. “Back to you guys.”

Slayer woke up soon after and walked to the living room then asked Panich "We got demolished didn't we?" He had no knowledge of the end of the fight, a side effect of the power he used.
 
Brachi grunted as she finally woke up, clearly annoyed at the current situation, her immediate thought going towards the Bara coin while shaking the stars and spots out of her vision.
 
Gogeta sat slumped in the couch, his dazed stare locked on the screen. He perked his eyebrows a bit at the muscular man being interviewed on the television, yet he remained mostly still in his seat in mostly ignoring the other questions being asked and the antics of the other Breakers.

"Huh, that guy looks really familiar."
 
Bernkastel's ears twitched in the direction of the TV audio, causing her to stir awake somewhat. It hurt to move her exhausted body, so she wasn't going to be able to comfortably resume her human form too soon. Wriggling out from the stack of dead weight, she sank to the floor clumsily before standing on all fours. Bernkastel noticed everything was much larger than she was, but she quickly figured out that she ended up reverted to her original body through force not of her own, causing her to straighten up.

"What happened?!" She exclaimed telepathically while letting out a feline yowling, jumping on top of the couch's back. "Everything mostly looks back to normal. Does that mean he's gone?" And then let out another set of kitty screams.
 
Cuki woke up in a frightened gasp as she attempted to move her body but felt a wave of immediate pain. She let out a groan before rolling to her side and carefully pushing herself to her feet. She felt her whole body ache thanks to the Coin Hunter's last move. Her eyes widen as she looked around the apartment for the Zenta coin. The moment she tried to push her body around, she felt a horrible wave of pain. The last she remembered was the Coin Hunter used Zenta's move against them and most likely took the coin for his personal use. Cuki realized that the Coin Hunter is long gone, along with the Zenta coin, and her expression went from panicked to numb.

"He took Zenta..." Cuki whispered to herself. "He took... Zen...ta..."

As Cuki continued to see the facts, her body moved towards the sofa, sitting right next to Gogeta but acting as if he did not exist. Her entire mind acted as if none of the Breakers existed, almost as if losing her Master killed her inside. She lost him prior to meeting the Breakers, then again when Doom blasted away her friends, and now a third time with the Coin Hunter. Cuki plopped her elbows on her knees and pressed her forehead against her hands, holding her head up. Her eyes were wide and unblinking as she stared blankly towards the wall. Her tail wiggled next to her, almost as if anxious.

"He's... gone..." Cuki mumbled. "I... can't protect... him."
 
On her turn, Brachi did manage to find the Bara coin and safely tucked it away once more, paying no attention to the TV as she did not care about the news; all that was on her mind was that Coin Hunter and find out what he wanted, and why he was able to render her so docile with such a few moves... it was mind-boggling to her... she had to research that part, and find a way to counter this for the next time she would face him.
 
Cross says as coins of his underlings start to move torts him "I gest this cycle has a cycle annoying start. Not only is a propaganda engine pointing the wrong way but Coin Collector got a pyrrhic victory." Cross asks "that now the question how do we want to deal with both problems."

As a vampire appears in front of Cross with a change of cloths it seems like. Cross hands the Vampire the coins he gathered "Wish them a quick and good recovery for me." The Vampire says "yes my Overlord."

Cross sends Asmodeus "I hope our side on this indent is covered." Asmodeus sends "It shooed be and worst case we can just crash there economy."

Cross quickly leaves the group to change clothing.

Wend Cross cones back to the group. Cross now has on a Black robe with gold and silver inlays of skulls. With a mages staff in one his hands.
 
30 minutes had passed since the battle against the Coin Hunter; Spina opened his eyes. His vision blurred for a few minutes as his mind wandered. “Where…?” He overheard voices from multiple people, including familiar ones such as Cross, Gogeta and Panich. Then suddenly, hearing sounds of a cat. “Oh man…” He tried to stand up, but quickly fell to the floor. His energy still hasn’t returned. None of the people’s energies had been restored; it will take several hours for it to fully returned to normal. 

“Damn… what the hell happened?” Spina said. “Oh…!” His eyes narrowed. “Where’s the Coin Hunter!? Where’s the Zenta coin?!” His body sprung up once again after realizing, but quickly fell down the same. “Where did that bastard go?!” He looks up, seeing a strange black cat meowing from the distance. “What… what happened?”

“So, what to expect things going forward, Stacey?” Chad asked.

“We have reports that local café server is currently attending Ultraman’s wounds. We already seen overwhelming support from majority of people in the city towards his bravery. The Breakers may have all the strength, but they don’t have the support. Businesses have already ended their services with them, and none of them is willingly going to serviced them after this incident.” Stacy commented. 

“Eh, guess the Breakers will be the Brokers, amirite?” Chad emphasized on the last word in a drag out pronunciation.

“Chad, please.” Stacey sweated a bit. “They simply have to go to another city if they want support now, but based on this news feed already spreading throughout, they won’t get that far.”

“Sucks for them, then! Now, onto the next News story…” 

The RNN went on a commercial break.
