Ultraman’s eyes sprung opened wide, seeing himself in the hospital bed. He looked around, realizing that he was placed in critical care for his condition. He would attempt to move his arm—he felt no pain. Considering the state of this world, there were no need for needles, or any sort of medications, as the wounds will eventually heal overtime. He turned his head to the side, seeing the mountain of flowers on the table, with a written note from Hart. 

Reading the contents of the letter, his eyes narrowed. “…. I see.”

“Ah, Ultraman!” A nurse came in. “Glad you’re finally awake. Your wounds should have healed for the most part. You’re free to leave if you’re up to it.”

Ultraman turned to her. “Ah, thank you. I’ll spend a few more days here.”

“After what you done? You can spend as much days you want. What you have done… standing up to the Breakers. That’s some courage you display out there. Like a hero!” The nurse left to attend to other patients.

“…Hero…?” Ultraman turned back to the letter. “A hero…” He grabbed onto his symbol on his chest. “… Superman.”




Spina was being thrown around multiple times, trying to maintain his gripe onto her tail. “She hadn’t taken notice…!” He opened his mouth and bite onto the hair on Cuki’s tail, so he can free his only arm as he held on by the gripe of his teeth. “Sorry about this! You’re getting too rowdy!” As his words muffled due to a mouth full of hair, Liquid particles formed above his hand, a water-based disc was spinning rapidly, seeing that the Golden Oozaru Cuki was distracted, he launched it with all his might to cut it off.

=========

“The world is strange…” Lucifer muttered to himself as he stay away from the scene so they would not see him. “The world… is a living contradiction. But that what makes it so unique compared to my world. New possibilities are being discovered, to cast doubts in minds of being all-knowing.” He turned his attention to Brachi and Panich—from that moment, a flicker of light suddenly flare in Brachi’s pocket. The Bara-coin ripped through Brachi’s clothing, and appeared overhead above them, forming to a small item… to a full-grown body—showcasing the lost “Bara” within a second. Dark particles flung out from the "transformation" and embedded themselves into the concentre when it landed on the floor.

Lucifer narrowed his blue eyes with a sinister smile, seeing the transition from a coin to their themselves once again. “And to witness these new possibilities. is what makes them grand and special to me.”
 
As Cuki swatted away the clones of Gogeta, she manages to finally reveal which one was the real one the whole time. Still upset about his mocking face, Cuki was quick to jump and grab on to him, squeezing him so he could not escape. She seemed to smirk, almost as if taunting Gogeta the same way he mocked her. The Mist began to lift up the beast and form a powerful concentrated ball of energy similar to the one that left a crack in the sky and disintegrate everything it touched. She held Gogeta in front of her mouth as the beam gather more and more power, no doubt wanting to completely obliterate the Fusion. Finally, she pulled the Fusion closer to her mouth as the blast was finally ready.

However, before Cuki managed to fire anything, the concentrated energy instantly vanished from her mouth and the look on the Beast's face was that of both shock and confusion. Her grip on Gogeta weakens as Oozaru slowly looked down to see her tail landing on the ground with a thud. The beast looked back at Gogeta with sadden eyes, almost as if whatever was inside was scared. Oozaru fell back, slowly losing the color of her fur and her fur entirely, and shrinking in size until she began that of a young, naked, unconscious girl. The spikes littering the floor began to evaporate into a mist which soon disappeared into the air. The land was still destroyed by Cuki, who was freefalling down to the ground.
 
Cross is unaffected by the shaking. Cross sends to Bernkastel "That is the interesting part of this reality and our "friend" is showing that he likes that part of this reality."

The creature is still keeping an eye on Lucifer.
 
Gogeta cried out heavily in the grasp of the Oozaru, fidgetting wildly in the constricting grip. He grit his teeth together, his darker dual voice ringing out loudly.

"Damnit Spina, hurry up!!"

As quickly as it began however, the grip released and Gogeta glanced down in confusion. He paused, his eyes turning and meeting the Oozaru's in analyzing the reaction to losing the tail, but he kept a perplexed yet serious stare in his confusion. Watching her fall, Gogeta narrowed his eyes a bit.

"Huh...what's that all about?"
 
Brachi suddenly blinked as she felt the Bara Coin rip itself from her pocket... before turning itself back into Majin Bara in the flesh, the confused Majin opening her eyes, before she's caught in the arms of the elated Brachi, who now couldn't control her emotions and just started crying of happiness in seeing her friend again. Immediately Majin Bara returned the hug, also shedding tears to be finally back once more. 

"Bara, I missed you so!" Brachi said between sobbing.

"I... I'm back now... and Lady Gervene?" Bara then asked.

Brachi's expression turned sad once more and shook her head, causing Bara to cry for a moment, before she spotted Panich, blinking at her before wiping her tears away.
 
Panich was a bit surprised and backed herself away from the coin slightly as if expecting a sneak attack from some new enemy. But when Brachi went to embrace her newly formed coin friend, she relaxed her stance. She gave an awkward, almost sad smile to the two before speaking.

"Well, I didn't expect to meet your friend so soon..! I don't mean to intrude on your reunion. Congratulations Brachi."
 
Spina caught the falling Cuki and landed on the ground. “No idea… She doesn’t showcase similar traits like us Saiyans, so her powers might be different.” He look at Gogeta, seeing that he is getting used to the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, considering he was able to pull at that ridiculous move early. “Probably because of that fusion mechanic, you were able to adapt to the form well. We should call it today, and head out.”

Looking around and see the destruction caused by everything that had happened transpired. “And we need to get this girl some clothes.”
He walked out of the training room, holding onto Cuki, to unpacked everything that just happened—ironically, Gogeta achieving the form quickly was the most normal thing that occurred. The old Saiyan spotted Bernkastel and Cross. “You’re here? Thought you guys would be out a lot longer.”

Lucifer walked away from the event from Bara’s rebirth. “I got what I need. No need to hang around here.” He whispered to himself, and headed downstairs. “So, Coins do take a while for it to return—I wonder if that’s the standard, or other coins have their own rebirth rates.” He rubbed his chin. “Best to research this even further when I have the time.” He noticed that he did not pick up any sounds of a rampage anymore. “And the training session must’ve been over for the day. Time to greet the Saiyan people.” 




Standing in front of the McKnight Café, Hart looked around from side-to-side, seeing various people from other parts of the city, coming in and rebuilding the mess that the Breakers left behind. 

“This is your place.” One man approached her. “Such a shame. The owner would be extremely disappointed when he sees that the place had been totaled by the Breakers.” 

“Don’t worry, he won’t know about it.” Hart turned to the man. “I got this from here. Please assist others.” She headed inside the empty café and see all the damage. “It’s everywhere.”

“Of course, it’s everywhere. They are too strong.”

“Too strong.” 

“Way too strong.”

“But that is expected. We should find a way to help Ultraman.”

“Yes… he is the same as me.” Hart said. “An outcast.”

“But you are here. With us. And we won’t rest until the people knew the truth about them.”

“The truth.”

Hart narrowed her eyes as she sat down—with no one here—as she stared at the ceiling. “The truth.”
 
Following after Spina out of the training room, Gogeta glanced down at his hands. His eyes were a bit narrow, maintaining the Super Saiyan 4 transformation and dropping his arms back to his side. He held a small frown, glancing down.

“Are you sure this is it? I don’t feel much stronger.”
 
Brachi wiped her tears away, at least a bit happier now that she had Majin Bara back with her, with Majin Bara then moving to Panich.

"Hey there, I'm Bara." She said, smiling at the Saiyan Princess.
 
"We only stopped at one place for the day," Bernkastel replied casually. "Just in time to come across the racket going on in there. At first we thought it was a surprise ambush, but we figured out pretty fast it must've been one of your unorthodox training methods. I see progress was achieved..." she eyed Gogeta's new form. "Quite marvelous recovery from the looks of it... But a lady mustn't be exposed like that around so many men. You pushed Cuki plenty for the day, yes?" Bernkastel used Cross' height advantage to open the door of her room, holding up her paw and concentrating. Slowly but surely, she was able to levitate a robe out of its hanger and into her paw, which took a great deal of focus to pull off in her state. Borrowing something would be better than the minimal cover of a bath towel. "Here we are-- something comfortable for her. Also, we're happy to report that Lucifer established contact with a neutral party willing to share some details about the Coin Hunter with us. They seem to be Detective Saiyans just like... him [Detective Vegeta]." Bern explained.
