Asmodeus sends "some how master those brats are in the NNR are suppressing the truth and the people are trying to force the Black Bank cut ties to you." Cross sends "Increase the interest rates and be less leaned on those business that are cutting off the breakers."

Cross says "no what Coin Collector did was more a decoration of war."
 
"He's so going to regret this," Brachi said, "if he could easily disable us by using the powers of those coins, then what is keeping us from doing the same thing to him? I'd love to see the look on his face when we beat him at his own game and make him eat his words."
 
If it were any other time, Bernkastel probably would have tried to slink out of Gogeta's nuzzling or even scratch his face to get free, but she was laughably weak at the moment. And he was heavy. But since he seemed unaware that it was her he was trying to pet, she figured it wouln't hurt so long as he wouldn't ever know. Wriggling down onto Gogeta's lap, she looked next to them to see Cuki was upset to the point of crying her eyes out. It was hard to watch since she wasn't used to comforting people in such vulnerable positions; it sank the mood down even further than it was. Her ears flattened with pity, thinking of something to say.

"Lucifer is right, Cuki. There's still a chance to get back his Coin... we may not be in top form right now, but we aren't totally powerless to do something about the Coin Hunter. Surely, with enough willpower and effort, we can defeat him," she said, trying to make her flat voice fairly gentle for once. "But you have to try and believe in that too..." Bernkastel's voice trailed off with a hum, anxiously hoping someone else would speak some words of encouragement with better delivery.
 
The attempts to cheer Cuki up worked slightly, stopping her wailing and allowing her to settle down slightly. However, the reality of losing Zenta did not sit well with Cuki. She did not lighten up, sniffing occasionally when the thought went across her mind. As she took several deep breaths to calm herself down, she slowly wiped away her tears in her futile attempt to show her maturity. With an occasional hiccup and whimper, Cuki glanced at Kid Lucifer and Kitty-Bern. She managed to stop crying and give them a smile, but it was painfully obvious that she was still broken on the inside.

For the moment, Cuki did not question Lucifer's new form or Kitty-Bern, assuming that the two were the result of their loss from the battle. It took Cuki a few minutes to calm herself down but her depression remained strong. Although she stopped crying, her frown seemed to be a permanent look on her usually cheerful face. 

"There's no way we can beat Zenta... He's too strong," Cuki said as she hugged her knees, her gaze falling to the floor. Her tone was flat. "On top of that, the whole city hates us. Even if we try to find that Coin Hunter's weakness, no one will help us... Maybe..."

Cuki paused for a brief moment before carefully picking out the next words to come out of her mouth. She did not know how the Breakers would react, especially since it is very out of character for her to say. So out of character, in fact, that the young Saiyan had a physical reaction, almost as if holding herself back.

"M-Maybe we should just... give up. Give up on fixing our name... give up on training... and give up on finding the Coin Hunter..."
 
"I refuse to give up," Brachi said, turning to Cuki, "Zenta may be strong, but he is by no means invincible. There just has to be something that we can exploit to our advantage. Perhaps with some research, I can cook up something that may let us go around whatever ki-blocking abilities that Coin Hunter has. I was hoping that I could bypass it on the first go due to the power core I have within me as I am part Android too. Apparently this didn't work the way I intended it, so I have to figure something out to go around it and beat him at his own game."
 
Slayer sat up then looked at each of the Breakers before  using magic to make a hard-light replay of the battle to review it and see where they could have beaten him, but before that he said "Hey Cross, was it? You were right." As he watched it from the beginning he then asked "Hey Cross, can you come here for a sec? I' trying to make heads or tails of the battle and so far i can't seem to grasp where we need improvement." That isn't to say he was calling the Breakers Sloppy or weak by any means, He just literally cannot see where improvements can be made.
 
Cross says "Its more that most our group dos not have or bring any real counter play to Zente. There is a reason way I actually got magical equipment on now." The robes and the staff Cross has now are enchanted quite a bit. 

Cross says "It's extremely rare for me to offer but I can make magical gear."
 
Gogeta twitched a bit under the effects of Cross’ healing spell. His bones weren’t fully repaired, but the fusion sighed a happy content breath at the slow, gradual relief of the sensation of his bones being slowly repaired.

“Yeah, all we gotta do to beat this Zenta is get stronger too! I can’t wait to start training for this rematch!”
 
“You all are missing one key factor here.” Lucifer explains, hearing everyone’s thoughts on the matter. “Just because you managed to counter one of the coin’s ability, it means nothing if we don’t know anything about the other coins. You all are so hyper focus on one thing that you couldn’t see the forest for the trees.” The small angel rubbed his chin, his tiny wings was barely big enough to make him float from the couch. “Magical items or not, countering one attack isn’t going to help us at the slightest, when he has unlimited nature of abilities that none of us have any idea about and probably beat us with those. Considering that he has one of my disciples and had yet to use his Coin, it questions to me what coins he has he didn’t feel like using.”

Spina nodded his head. “Now that you mention that…. His unpredictable nature makes him a hard opponent to fight against. If he can switch coins at will, and easily change abilities and powers from one thing to another, countering him on one specific thing won’t be exactly ideal. And we can’t exactly research Coins if we don’t know the other Vortex Coins. Lucifer, do you have any idea how many coins is on him?”

“Well, I wouldn’t bake on this rumor, but based on the recent happenings, I say about… 40 Vortex Coins.”

“40…?!” Spina gritted his teeth. “And he only shown off 4 of them, last one being Zenta.” Spina turned to Cuki. “Listen, we didn’t falter against a battle because the Coin Hunter was strong. We struggled because we can’t exactly pinpoint his abilities down to a T due to his unpredictable nature. Don’t just gave up simply because we lost. Aren’t you a Saiyan? Where’s that Saiyan blood boiling inside of you?”

“Don’t be too harsh on her. She’s just ma—a kid.” Lucifer responded. “Besides, you lots won’t be going anywhere right now. I feel some of my energy pouring in, but none of your energies had been restored. You need to take a moment for the time being.”

Spina grunted since he felt Cuki’s reaction to giving up was a bit too much for him. He couldn’t stand people who cry and give up on the spot on a first lost, and especially out of character for her to give up instantly. “Fine…” The old Saiyan turns to Gogeta. “Listen, you’re on thin ice right now because of the shit you got us caught in right now. If you want to keep tagging along, discipline is in order.”
 
Brachi sighed, overhearing what Lucifer said, before nodding at what Spina said. 

"But if he can use those Vortex Coins, can we do the same thing?" She then asked, being curious to know.
