Detective Goku dropped the garbage bag on the floor as Panich grabbed hold of him. Feeling uncomfortable from the sudden hug, the Detective pushed her away to break free from her power hug. “What the hell are you doing, lady? Don’t just hug people out of nowhere, creep.” The Detective held his fists in in defense after fixing his glasses. “Don’t move. Identify yourself.”
 
Panich was a bit confused as the detective pushed himself away from her, but simply crossed her arms with a smirk. "What do you mean? You can't tell me you've forgotten me so easily. You're not that much of a dolt." 

The princess looked over his outfit, it was definitely different from what he usually wore. Something seemed off, but she tries remaining positive.
 
“Forgotten? I don’t know who you are, lady.” Detective Goku responded to Panich with seriousness in his tone. “You got me confused for someone else.”

“Kakarotto! What’s taking so damn long?” Captain Broly came out of the building, seeing Detective Goku in a stand off against another person.

“This old hag suddenly came out of nowhere and hatch onto me like a leech.” Detective Goku said.

Captain Broly looks at her, as his tired eyes narrowed upon her appearance. “Who’re you and states your business here.” He appears to be agitated a little bit.

Lucifer, remaining stationary in the air, tried to hold back his chuckle. “Oh, this is getting good.”
 
Cross says as a matter of fact "Trust me Arch-demons do tend to like messing with mortals. If there is a fight between the detectives and Panich it will be one them that will start it. It will rune the skeptical for him if he interferes too much more because he the Arch-Demon of Pride after all." Cross was more indifferent.
 
Gogeta frowned, as he was pushed back towards the kitchen table. His pouty expression took hold, crossing his arms.

"Aww, why did you have to get sick all of a sudden?! That was gonna be a good fight!!"

He only paused for a brief second, his hands quickly flying down to his crotch and a near pained expression forming on his face.

"I have to pee!!! That sour drink made me do this!"

Gogeta waddled off rapidly afterwards, disappearing down the hallway and into the nearest restroom with a loud bang of the door. The frame of the door shook from the slam, and shortly afterwards, a relieved dual voice ringing out in a muffled noise behind the door.

"Ahhhh~"
 
"Hag!? Who do you think you're insulting? May I remind you we're the same age moron!" Panich was now glaring by the time Broly made his way out of the building. She was almost shocked. She hesitated a moment, as if to let her logical brain take back control before speaking up again. "Goku... If you dont mind me asking... Where is Vegeta? And can you tell me what you last remember before the reality vortex scrambled the universe?"
 
Cuki continued to stare out towards the city line and generally ignore the commotion going on in her apartment. The young Saiyan seemed to have lost her spirit and lively persona after the Doom fight. Something about her certainly changed but it was hard to tell, at least in some circumstances. 

Maybe a moment of peace will help...

Cuki went inside for a brief moment to set up the table for the Breakers when their food arrived, all without saying a word to the others. When she finished, she dug under her sofa to pull out her first aid kit and silently returned to the balcony before flying upwards towards the roof. Taped on the balcony door was a note that stated where she was located at.

Once on the roof, Cuki sat down and began to apply the first aid to the stump of her tail, wrapping the bandage up in a cute bow for the meanwhile. She stared at the bandages before letting out a sigh and tossing herself on her back so she could gaze at the Vortex Moon. Unlike the sensation earlier with the energy ball Spina displayed, she felt no odd power swelling inside her. As she stared at the moon, she held her hand out, reaching for it knowing she could never touch it. 

"Zenta..." Cuki said out loud. "The years have been weird without you around. I can't seem to catch up to anyone anymore... The Breakers are always moving ahead while I'm stuck. In the end, I have to move by myself. I don't need help, not from anyone, especially you... I need more power, something you failed to give me..."
 
The wine bottle that Bernkastel and Gogeta drank was a special kind of wine. As Reality Vortex is a combination of infinite worlds, flavors and cuisines, various residents have been combining different knowledge of wine-creation to create a delicious alcoholic drink. The wine in question, created by Wordplay, is called “Hurricane Noir”. It contains elements designed to maximize the flavors upon impact and cause one to continue to seek more. Yet, despite the delicacy of its taste, it has a high-risk award: those who consume it and not a regular drinker in Wordplay’s Bar. It will cause someone to instantly because drunk due to the high levels of histamine and tyramine. And more often or not, result a huge hangover, high increased of bowel movements, and horrid aftertaste once everything settles.




“Why do you need that information?” Captain Broly asked.

Catching on quickly, Detective Goku realized that she could be from a world similar to ours. “Hold on, Broly. Just relax. If we tell her where we’re from, maybe she’ll go away.” Goku turned to Panich. “Both of us came from a world where we were recruited by Chronoa to investigate time anomalies. Well, one of us, really. Captain had other reasons.” Goku explained. “And last thing we knew, we ended up here. As for Vegeta. We had been told by one of the Breakers that Vegeta was killed by Doctor Doom. Permanently erased from existence.” Goku paused. “That’s it, old lady.”

Captain Broly’s eyes narrowed, still feeling something about Vegeta's apparent death and trying to maintain control. “Well? So what’s your connection to Vegeta? Don’t tell me you’re his mistress…”
 
Panich couldn't seem to muster up any reaction to this information. She was a bit saddened, especially at hearing that this universe's Vegeta had been killed. But after a few seconds of a certain what if scenario ran through her mind, those feelings were soon pushed aside by anger and embarrassment. Her glaring eyes turned to Lucifer for another moment before she turned back to Broly and Goku.

"The person leading me had made a mistake... You're not who I thought you were. So please excuse my intrusion. In a different universe... Vegeta is my brother and Goku is a very close friend. Though I suppose not as witty, but most certainly just as blunt."
 
"What's with him? It was just one sip, how strong can it really be?" Bernkastel incredulously examined the bottle but didn't recognize it at all. "Hm, in-house brand I guess." Since she broke the wine glasses, she just swept them into a pile to fix themselves up later, settling for a red solo cup. "Man-eating demons are one thing, and regular demons are just a witch's furniture, servants and little more... to think there are creatures that aren't merely figments. One thing's for sure is that they don't bring the best aspects out of people..." Bern pondered, filling the cup to about what she'd estimate a glass normally held for her. Still, what was that just now that came over me so suddenly? Grr, forget it... I don't need to think about it anymore!

Without hesitation, she took a whiff after swirling it around to examine the wine's appearance. Sticking her tongue into it, it made her whiskers wiggle and the scent was decadently exquisite. "Bottoms-up." Bernkastel settled on the taste-test and slowly consumed the contents of the cup. "Wow... this is good. Really good in fact. Maybe I'll do another. Just one more before food won't hurt." A second helping was downed to the halfway point before a woozy floaty feeling washed over her body from head to toe. If she weren't sitting, her knees would have buckled. "Whoa... this izzzz way more than a little... tipsy..."

Hugging the bottle in her paws, Bernkastel slumped over immediately in her chair as her eyes became half-lidded and her pupils immediately dilated large enough to eclipse her irises. Her tongue stuck out of her mouth as she laid her head on the tablecloth, loudly purring. "Whooowee... I could drink dizzz alll day..." Already the bowtie on her collar came loosely undone. If fur wasn't covering her face, it would be feverishly red. "Meeyowwww~"
