Cross covers the intel that he gained form the bug.

Cross asks "If magic and/or PSI were used would these black Crystals react? Do they drive automatons and/or drones mad? I assuming they don't have the pushback effect normally?"

Cross thinks "That may be the voices motive for making this part of the eternity quite and way it needs us."
 
Brachi looked at the Black crystals, studying them from her current position as if to imprint their appearance on her memory for a moment just to ensure she would know what to look out for, wondering how dangerous they actually are, before turning back to Detective Goku.

Majin Bara was using her headtentacle as an antenna, just to be sure no one was eavesdropping on them.

“I don’t have much information about that.” Detective Goku checked his notepad. “Except for a couple of incidents where a colleague of mine noticed a black crystal hovering in the air by a force—and entire city was wiped out. Based on that, I don’t think it’ll be a good idea to start using magic or psionics on it. How it effect machinery, no clue on it yet. As I said, it’s best to avoid it until my colleagues investigate it more.”

Spina sweated a bit. “Damn, those crystal contain that much power?”

“Tremendously. I supposed that’s the world way to protect itself from it and prevent it from spreading all over the place. Destroying it would mean utter chaos on the world. It’s one of the reasons why I’m here to investigate the manners and placed a warning for people to avoid this area until reconstruction begins.” Detective Goku said. He raised a brow about the intel Cross gave out from the bug. “… She’s talking about Composite and Alter beings.”

“Composite and Alter beings?” Spina said.

“Breakers… you were here before all of us, right? You probably weren’t aware, or didn’t care, about how this world works after all the new ones were pulled here. There are people out there that are merged of all people in one. Various incarnations of that person across timelines became a single being—they are Composite beings. They usually have specific eyes that you can tell that they’re composite beings.” Detective Goku explains. “What’s she saying in that intel, she’s right about that. I think Superman was one such example, although he was specifically resulted in the hands of Doom personally…” The detective turns to Cross. “And you seems to be an outlier as well… perhaps the world is attempting to merge all your versions into one as well.” He turns to Brachi, confused on her state. “Though, you are completely different. I’d assumed that you were a fusion, along with the clown [Gogeta] and the one called Vegetto.”

The old Saiyan narrowed his eyes. “So what she says is true; we were responsible for her state?"

“If what she says is true, then that’s true. I wasn’t there.” Detective Goku said. “I came here after and began working in the Detective Agency after the Captain found me.”

“So another version of someone cannot exist here…” Spina stares at the Detective. “I’ll be blunt. You are one of the Composite being. Am I right?”

“….” Detective Goku remained silent. “You believe whatever you believe, but those aren’t relevant to the matter.”

“Right.” Spina looked around. “Based on the information in the bug, it seems that Hart and the Coin Hunter are connected, but how did she managed to create a gauntlet that allows her to use the powers of the coins?”

Suddenly, the ceiling drops towards the floor at rapid speeds. Narrowing his eyes, Spina launch a small energy blast to obliterate it as it flung everywhere. As clouds of smoke flooded the area, several figures emerged in battle position. They flair rainbow-like aura.
 
"Yes, I am indeed a fusion." Brachi said, nodding at Detective Goku, right before Spina's actions startled her, but she immediately raised her guard, ready to defend herself, while Bara stood by her side, popping her neck in a style similar to Buu, indicating that she too was getting serious.
 
Cross says "with the exception of the new blood in our group we were around during the late part of last iteration of the realty vertex." Cross says "this Iteration is and it seems that it may be going as far subspace to force the merger. The voice must really want to stack the deck for our group to help fix black Crystal thing."

Cross says "I much agree with the Detective on this point. all that matters is that we are on the same side." Cross thinks "Good thing I did some prebuffing."
 
Cuki's Apartment

Cuki's cheeks turned red when Panich told her to worry about her own health. She barely considered her own well being, especially when she's busy trying to make sure the others are happy in her apartment. She barely had time for herself, even during the years they had after the Doom fight. She frowned slightly while Panich tended to her wounds, wincing when the peroxide touched the cuts. Despite how tough she acts, she seems to hold the mind of a child.

"I... I really want my tail back. It helps me cook along with a bunch of other things. It's like a friend to me... I mean, it was the only friend I had before I met Spina and the others." Cuki cleared her throat. "Silly, I know..."
 
Reality Metropolis

Bernkastel straightened herself back up after practically being shaken by a ragdoll by Gogeta's handshake, having been taken by surprise. She bowed her head to Clark Kent as he bid them goodbye.

"Goodbye for now, my friend..."

Pocketing her card, she put a finger to her chin when she took notice that he referred to the Coin Hunter as a 'her'. Could it be true that Connor McKnight really isn't the Coin Hunter? If it's a woman... then... Her eyes narrowed. There's only one person of interest left that can fit that bill and is crazy enough to pull it all off. But if it really was Hart, she still came up short on exactly what the motive was. Normally it wouldn't matter since an enemy is an enemy for good reason, but she kept coming up short on any particular reasons. It didn't feel like Ultraman's brand of vigilantism. When they fought the Coin Hunter, she remembered feeling like it was a personal taunt of malice. But she didn't think any of them knew Hart from any prior encounters, much less beyond the crowds of people who initially tried to fight them. And the other question was how they'd anticipate surviving the 2nd battle if they could barely make it out of the first? Much less against someone who could indefinitely put out a huge attack range without so much as breaking a sweat.

It put her at unease. "We... should probably leave," Bern said, turning toward Gogeta as she rubbed her aching temple. "Before these people start to wake up and we get ambushed in a potential sneak attack." With her motivation restored, she was in a mood to get straight to work, but wasn't sure what to do next. "Hmm, we could go back to the apartment, but nobody seemed to be in much of a mood for anything..." In fact, she was almost sure they'd be more upset at her coming back with him alive. "Maybe we can just hole up in my room and figure out any more important weak spots... we could also snoop around the city for more information. What to do..."

Several minutes passed when the ceiling collapsed, yet the figures did not move from their position. As the smokes clears, all of them had armor in similar design to the Coin Hunter, but less edge, more exposed in certain parts, such as the head and shoulders, and remarks a different color pattern. Upon closer inspection—they were actually nothing more than props. 

“What the hell...? Props? Why did the ceiling fall down on us?” Spina wondered.

“This place had been wrecked to hell and back, and with no one making construction due to several factors, its not surprising to see the place go under.” Detective Goku checked the foundation of the building. 

Spina went and checked out the props, still maintaining his guard just in case anything attacks him. “And these…? They’re actually props?” He looked at one of them without a helmet, and they are indeed mannequin. “Are these beta designs for the Coin Hunter?” 




Reality Metropolis

Ultraman landed on the ground near dozens of unconscious people as Bernkastel pondered on their next move. “You need to leave the city… whatever business you have, leave….” Ultraman struggled to maintain his composure, hearing the reeks of positivity after their cynical behavior lead to this event. His head down, to avoid showing any emotion to two Breakers, Ultraman picked up the Vortex coin. “Leave this place.”
 
Reality Metropolis

As Bernkastel spoke, Gogeta stepped back from his crouched position and removed his hand. His grip had been on the top of her head without permission, indicating he had used his mind reading technique Goku had learned many years ago.

The fusion frowned in response, having picked up on Bernkastel's inner dialogue about the Coin Hunter. He had remained silent throughout her ideas, but soon perked his eyebrows slightly as Ultraman landed down on the scene. His eyes instantly narrowed at the command, glancing back towards Bernkastel for a brief moment.

Gogeta stood still for a few more moments, remaining silent through the second command. He gave one more look to Bernkastel: a determined stare that gave way slightly to a small, optimisitic and warm smile of reassurance. The fusion slowly turned his face towards Ultraman, the confidence replacing the warmth as his neck turned, and soon Gogeta stared down Ultraman with a cocky smirk with narrowed eyes.

"Only if you fight me for real, one last time. Away from all of these people."

He barely paused, a confident scoff emitting from his mouth.

"You and your friend have been using everyone else's power to take down the Breakers, but I felt something deeper in you the last time we fought. So let me see your real strength again; unless you're happy hiding in her shadow."
 
Cross says "That must be another feature of the Black Crystals because of the fact my people only speed up the process of the vertex to regen structures." The most Cross' people would don is not speed up the regeneration process.
