Gogeta's eyes lost focus, his entire body staggered from the damage to the first strike in his ribs. He almost collapsed to the ground, his long blue hair swaying a bit in barely maintaining his defense in caching only some of Spina's ruthless strikes. His body rocketed from side to side, each blow devastating in its near unburdened connection to the fusion's body. However, despite the extreme power behind Spina's punches and the clear gap between the two, Gogeta managed to stand after each seemingly fatal blow. The blue flames only diminished with each passing combo, and in their place, sinister and dark energy poured outward to meet Spina's strikes head on behind the defensive positions Gogeta took.

As Spina launched high into the air, Gogeta remained knelt down on one knee, panting heavily and his body littered with bleeding wounds and cuts. He had reverted entirely down to his regular Super Saiyan Blue state, yet with his head bowed and his face hidden, a devilish smirk remained on his face. His dual voice thundered out above the roaring winds, the voice clearly belonging to Gogeta but the strange in-flexion and terminology used a clear contrast to Gogeta's personality.

"Marvelous...a power unlike anything this world has ever seen! This weak...meager body can't keep up...but like you, it will endure with the evergrowing desire to raise its limits!!"

The blue flames surrounding Gogeta in a firey aura began to shift and dim, the energy darkening heavily. The white glow of the particules within began to radiate first with an ominous, black energy. The azure aura shifted violently into a brilliant shade of pink, the energy swelling around Gogeta rising dramatically. Compared to Spina's energy, the power shifting did little to compete as well as Gogeta's Super Saiyan Blue 3. Yet it retained nearly an identical level of power behind the energy, rising in dispersing the intense pressure enough for Gogeta to stand fully upright.

Gogeta's spiked hair flowed within the breeze of the pink aura, his hair matching the bright colors in the familiar and ominous transformation of Super Saiyan Rose. His pink eyebrows narrowed heavily, the grey pupils locking fiercely with Spina's as the devilish smirk grew wider, barring his white teeth.

"And much like this simpleton's easily influenced mind...yours will soon bend to my will!"

Gogeta's right arm shot outward to the side, a bright pink energy blade forming across his forearm in striking resemblance to Vegetto's Spirit Sword. With a roar, Gogeta rapidly swung his arm up in the sky in various, calculated directions. Blades of pink energy tore through the sky and the immense pressure of Spina's overwhelming power, each one heading for the swelling 24 orbs that Spina had original formed for his attack.

Without wasting another millisecond after firing off the blades, Gogeta bolted up into the sky and charged forward towards Spina, hurling his arm forward and swinging the devastating energy blade in an attempt to slice the other Saiyan in half.
 
Spina stood up vertically as the dark aura twirls around him like a fiery tornado. The old Saiyan lowered his eyes after seeing the pink hue radiating from his hair, no longer the blue color. Recognizing the transformation Gogeta had taken, Spina finally smile for the first time after falling into a tranquil fury.

Amidst of the orbs exploding in the background behind Spina, the Saiyan tensed his body up, pumping his chest out as he beats on it. He crouch forward; his eyes remained locked onto Gogeta’s position, analyzing the fusion’s velocity; small energy balls rapidly form at the bottom of Spina’s boots. Like a rocket, the thrust of the energy balls beneath his boots push Spina forward, accelerating at a rapid pace that he crossed the distance between himself and Gogeta in mere seconds as space around them became distorted.

Tanking the spirit sword lunged on the right side of his body, Spina crashed against him in a literal head-to-head collision.

“Then, submit to my rage.”

His tone was deafening to everyone—even to Gogeta. He was directly responding the voice from something deeper within Gogeta. Spina, his expression was a mixture of rage and excitement. His eyes shot opened like a predator pronouncing on his prey as he forced the fusion back, hurling back to the ground.

Burnt debris kicked up, as both Saiyans were on the ground once more. Spina grabbed Gogeta’s arm, forcing it to move to the other side to break the sword in left. Blood drips along the broken blade still lunged against his right of his body. Ignoring the pain, Spina leaped forward, throwing rapid-fires punches to push Gogeta against the ground. Each precision hits—each of them were used in a lethal manner.

A mental holdback that Spina had placed within his mind had been broken. His true intention, his true feelings as a Saiyan warrior had emerged deep within him.

Spina raised his energy left arm in the air, a swirl of energy dashed out of the explosion in the sky and absorbed within his arm. When it reached the size of his liking, he’d curled his individual fingers one-by-one until it became a fist. Surging power expressing outward, Spina let out another few words.

“Shocking Rising Bullet.”

He slammed his fist downward against the fusion. Not once. But rapidly, and each strike was backed up with momentum, speed and power. The more times he strike, the strong of the rising bullet becomes as the terrain morphed from the impact. Each of them designed to kill—the old Saiyan wanted to see if Gogeta would live, so he can slam over and over again.

Lucifer smiled. “Ahhh, the selfish gods. There always those around. Insecure beings with enough power that no mortal can reach but felt the need to suppress the mortals to do their bidding. I have experience with those kind of beings… so I agree with your assertion to let the world go in the way of anarchy as a way to oppose the one called the Voice.” The small looks up at the Vortex Moon. “Beings such as them are constantly bored and want something to rule over… that’s why free will is preferable. Becoming saviors or heroes will just push forward the path that this voice sets you guys on. It’s my reasons of joining with your Breakers. Unlike the majority of the population here, struggling with their existence and whatever crisis, I am true to who I am… and you are true to your path.”  Lucifer turned to Bernkastel and Cross. “And Anarchy is the perfect solution; you don’t need to lead, but to set an example. The top of the food chain will always be there, but you will be gatekeepers to prevent any sort of a governmental order from appearing.”

Before Lucifer can finished his thoughts, they reach the destination the small angel want to go. It was a giant tall building that was far away from the Reality Metropolis. It was located in the middle of a barren desert with few vegetations. “Looks like we arrived here, Bernkastel and Sir Cross. The Detective Task Force. I heard great things about this place from various people during my travels last year. They might assist us with our problem, and since they operate outside from Metropolis, we don’t have to worry too much about conflicting interests.” Lucifer placed a finger on his chin. “I hope.” He slightly knocks on the door multiple times. “We can ask them about the Coin Hunter and see if they can become our alley.”

“Huh!? Who’s been knocking on me door!? Kakarot! Go see who that is!” A loud voice was heard from the building.

The door opened, a man wearing dark-shade glasses, a detective hat, a black detective suit with a collar that covered half his face. “Yes? We are the Detective Task Force. What is your purpose, problem or issue that requires our service?”
 
Cross thinks "So he one the remotely likeable versions of Lucifer if he speaking so highly of free will but he completely off on the nature of a lot of thing." 

Cross thinks "I will let Bernkastel or Lucifer take care of this one."
 
At this rate, he's no longer just sparring him... Cuki pondered to herself from a safe distance. Is Spina truly trying to kill him..? That's not like him.

Cuki watched the fight intently, careful to not get dragged in by either side. The situation grew worse and Cuki felt uneasy about this fight going on for much longer. She bit her lip and thought about stopping the two but knew she could not pull the two apart from each other. The best she could do was keep her distance but try to be reasonable. Cuki was hesitant at first but she moved closer to the battle, ready to defend herself by putting up her palms. She was not as worried about Gogeta as she was with Spina, given his bloodlust mode. She made no attempt to stop them but was close enough for the two to hear her.

"Hey, Spina, don't you think you're being a bit too hard? Isn't this supposed to be training? You're straight up trying to kill him." Cuki said, slightly worried. "Quit it Spina!"




Avalon sweated upon hearing Panich's order. He pulled out a small pouch full of gold and silver coins, no doubt losing it all to Panich's order. Maybe paying for her lunch wasn't the best idea...

"I see that Coin Hunter is as strong as the locals make him out to be. Must suck to be in the Breakers right now..." Avalon chuckled before dismissing his comment. "Ah yes, the Host... See, Byakko goes where the fun is according to my sources. The Breakers are well known all over this realm, so I figure he'd be with your group considering the adventures they go through..."

Avalon paused for a moment and stared down at his tea.

"He does not necessarily have business with the Breakers specifically, however, how he ended up here is a mystery to me. I do wish to fight the Host Byakko is inhabiting to see which ones of us is stronger. As I mentioned before, I, too, am a Host to one of these beings. My being... hasn't spoken to me for some time but that's because I am not strong enough yet. I must prove myself to Seilong! You see Ma'am, I aim to beat the Host of Byakko so I can prove myself to the one who chose me. After all, I'm extra special compared to the others so I need to be perfect in everything I do!"
 
Slayer had been walking so long they were in a forest now. He sighed then made his way to a forge, one he had found in his travels. He smirked that he still had everything like he left it and then began to finish the last set of Spartan armor he was making. They weren't old greek armor like most would think, no these were actually a futuristic set of armor meant to augment the wearer. His were taken a step further and granted the possible transformations that the wearer had a large boost but in exchange it would weaken the armor a little based on how strong it was.
 
Bernkastel looked up at the mysterious person who answered the door, staying between Cross and Lucifer in her spot. What was it you're supposed to say when speaking to a stranger again? 

"Um... hello. The Coin Hunter's our problem. He's looking to turn us and our friends into Coins. We're unsure how to get any sort of advantage over him since he pretty much obliterated us within five minutes."
 
Panich was on track with Avalon, but slowly began to slip away from the conversation at the mention of the chosen one nonsense. "I'm not sure I understand all the details you just explained. But If I help you find this guy and help you with your little rite of passage, you'll share with me what you know about the Coin hunter?"
 
Gogeta's eyes shut, cringing in pain from the head on collision before the two blasted back towards the ground. The blade trapping Gogeta by his own arm saw to him hurdling to the ground, and the fusion twitched with a grunt to try and pry his arm free from Spina's side to no avail. He hacked a bit, his arm being struck and the incoming punches wailing into him to force him back along the ground.

Gogeta's narrowed pink eyebrows darkened, the sinister grin uncanny to his normal appearance resuming. A strange, excited expression remained as his arms hurtled upward in a desperate bid to block the incoming strikes while also throwing punches of his own. Yet despite the clear rise and glow of Gogeta's dark excitement, his body continued to slowly lose power and energy to keep pace. The gap between the two was glaring: Gogeta rocketed heavily under the fierce blows from Spina and his retaliating strikes doing little more than basic, light damage if at all in landing his hits.

The fusion dropped to one knee in the momentary pause as Spina drew energy from the explosion high in the sky, a low dark chuckle escaping his lips. A small, barely noticiable pressure began to build, however, seemingly beneath the skin on top of Spina's brain. The growing pressure continued to rise as Gogeta slammed into the floor from the first few punches, yet after the fourth blow, the strange sensation completely faded away. Gogeta's head and body flailed in the devastating strikes, yet through them all, his pained and evil laughter rung out under the force of the strikes.

I ͝ha̢v̷e͏ ̀i҉t ҉no͡w.̵..̶alļ t̷hat ̶I ͟n͠eed. ̡Goo̧db̴ye you fra͝il ͜c͞re̵atur̨e: enjo̢y ͡béc͡om̶i̶ng ͘a coìn!̷

Gogeta's dark laughter stopped after the thought rung out within his mind, his smile fading under the intense blows smashing into his face.

Wait! You can't just leave me like this!

F̷oo͘l, yo͞ư'̢ve ǫut͏li͟ved yoùr͜ usef̴ulne͘s͟s. You͢'̢ll ̧a̛lw҉a͘y̧s bé tóo͢ ẁe͞àk; ͞h̨e̴ is ͘ą cei͠lin̷g ͜yo҉ù ̀c̀an҉not͝ h̶ope to su̷rp̕as͘s.́ ̧Just̶ g͘ive ̶up̧, ̷and̡ ͘ac҉c̢ept̢ y̴o̢ur ̷d҉ea̷t̶h ͏w͞it̨h͜ hon͢or͡.

Gogeta hacked out blood, pained coughs and cries soon escaping his lips. He tried to curl up, tensing in a bid to limit the full contact of the blows slamming into him in vain for a bit, but to no avail. His pink hair had faded back to its original shade of black, struggling to stay conscious.

"I..can't! Need...more-"

An intense wind suddenly erupted out in every direction, followed shortly by a sudden surge in overwhelming heat and energy. His eyes shot open, and a deafening ring sent forth a ground shattering gust of wind in every direction. Brilliant silver energy coated the fusion's pupils, gritting his teeth together before letting out a thunderous roar.

"P̹̲̰̭̥̝͟O͍̜̱̭̱W̝̹͈̪̙̻E̲̘͞R̨̝̩̯!̙̥̲͖!̴̱͓"


Silver fire blasted upwards in every direction around Gogeta's body, a devastating pure explosion of energy blasting Spina backwards off the fusion. Gogeta roared violently, clenching his fists together in the momentary destructive surge that shook the entire building through the room's constraints. However, as quickly as it began, the energy dissipated away entirely, and Gogeta dropped down onto the floor from where he floated seconds ago, landing with a heavy thud on his knees.

He cringed heavily in pain, his arms wrapping around his ribs and stomach in groaning in pain. Blood trailed down the corners of his mouth, and his extensively shattered state left Gogeta in his base form and completely open for Spina's next attack.
 
Spina’s eyes widened at the surge of silver energy surging around Gogeta, being tumbling backward in the air from the wind pressure. The energy left arm vanished due to the interruption. 

“No doubt, you’re trying to tap into it…” Spina spoke, seeing the fusion falling to his knees. In any battle, at least, to Spina, the battle is deemed over when the opponent seemingly can’t go on, but the old Saiyan bare his teeth after seeing that glimpse of power exploding for a brief time.

“The only way you deal with that kind, is to put them down first or they will eventually find a way to kill you." Spina repeated the statement uttered to him back to Gogeta with a gleeful smile.

Spina’s muscle mass increased several times, ripping through his pants and boots. His face was hidden behind a surge of blazing aura, the only thing visible was his blank, gleaming eyes. His tail suddenly increased in size massively as it was gathering enormous energy around it, coating it with white and dark aura. Seemingly undergoing a physical change in terms of appearance and spiritual change in term of energy, the old Saiyan spoke out once more, but in a beast like manner. “Die!”

He spun around once, building up momentum to unleash a powerful tail slam; the buildup was spitting the clouds to spread apart, blowing away everything in sight, hurling down fast to reach its target: the kneeing warrior without any regard to Gogeta’s condition.

After a moment of silence staring at the talking cat, the man nodded. “Right, uh, yeah, come in.”

“You don’t seem very surprised, Mr…?” Lucifer asked. 

“Spending three years in this crazy world will do that to a person. A talking cat, a child with so much malicious energy that it stinks up the room, and an undead mage? Not the craziest thing I’ve witnessed. And you may call me Detective Goku.” Detective Goku led the three inside of the building. 

Despite the size, it had two floors: the main room where all the workers do paperwork, discuss with clients and the sort, and the second floor for higher end officials in the task force, and the captain of the operation. Based on the state of things, everything was a mess.

Paperwork all over the place and the severe lack of people in the building despite being a Detective Task Force. “Sorry for the mess in here. We had to compensate a few things due to the shortage of staff due to an incident  a year ago.” Detective Goku stopped by the stairway and raised his voice. “Captain! We have visitors! They’re seeking some information about the Coin Hunter!”

“Coin Hunter you say?” The Captain responded. Coming out of the commanding office room, it was an exceptionally large, bulky man with black hair as he smoked a pipe. “Why would a couple of fowks be coming in here asking about that donut?” 

Detective Goku turned to the group again. He doesn’t recognized Lucifer nor Bernkastel in that state but does seen Cross around here before. “I believe these are the Breakers, sir.” 

“Breakers!? Those nips that trash the city and got themselves outcast by aebody?! Well, this changes things!” The Captain came downstairs. “Ay, me name is Captain Broly, the captain of this Detective Agency. To think dem Breakers would come in my place of all things, especially asking about the de'il, the Coin Hunter.”
