McKnight Café
Arriving at the café, the entire establishment is completely barren. All the windows were cracked, the chairs were all over the place. Ever since the battle against Ultraman, the place had been in complete wreck with no sign of rebuilding.
“This place looks like absolute hell.” Spina noted as he looked around. “Alright, Cross heard information about Hart around here, so let’s see if she left something that we can used. Keep your guard up. Cross’ magic will give us protection instead of a surprise attack.” He walked towards the diner corner and see nothing but empty cabinets.
“None over here.”
“This week had been an absolute disaster… Newcomers, city’s destruction and now we’re essentially bad guys. Cross is right… we need to figure out the future of this group; otherwise, our pathway leads to failure. I need to figure things out... Spina thought to himself as he eyed a doorway to the kitchen area. “Hey, let’s check over there.” As he opened the doors, his eyes widened, seeing an abundance of black crystals sticking out of the kitchen flooring. “What the hell are those?” He felt a sudden pressure weigh down his body like a gravitational force and felt like he couldn’t escape its grasp. However, he was suddenly pulled away, and thrown backwards towards Cross and the others by an unknown force.
“You should be more careful investigating the area. Especially don’t get close to those crystals. They are extremely dangerous.” A strong and firm voice ranged out from a man that adjusted his glasses. Revealing to be Detective Goku, turned to them with writing supplies (paper and pen). “I take that you Breakers aren’t here for a causal stroll. What is your business here?” He questioned.
Reality Metropolis
Ultraman, at a notable distance, used his eyes to see a group of people on the ground unconscious, along with a stack of coins. He slowly lifted his head, seeing three individuals, two he knows too well, yet the other one was unfamiliar, yet at the same time, familiar.
Usually, he would’ve act immediately—yet, because of his conflicted matters, he remained stationary in the spot he was in. He gripe his fist tightly, but not with the intention to battle, but overhearing their conversations due to his super-hearing made him angry. "They're having a talk? They're having an essential crisis...? They of all people...?" His eyes widened by their talk to give their existence meaning, something he had, and lost. “Optimism… Persistent zest for life…” He mumbled under his breath.
Cuki's Apartment
Lucifer flipped through the channels. “Guess it just me for now, ain’t that right?” He spoke to a presence to no one. “I feel my energy is slowly returning to normal; it was quite a surprising attack.” He remember the battle against the Coin Hunter. “I wonder if that how they defeated Nanashi?” He stood up and headed to the bathroom.
He opened the door and instantly, Lucifer met violent wave of stench came out of bathroom like a raging storm. "Oh my goodness...!!!" He attempted to stand his ground, but the pressure completely overwhelm him. Lucifer fell back on the ground, tumbling multiple times before he made a hard stop. Lucifer seemingly knocked out due to the massive and overbearing smell.
“Don’t go to that bathroom…” Spina’s voice was heard in Lucifer’s head.
