Setting aside of the vague answers regarding the tension between them, Spawn was quite surprised when Bage scooped him up from the ground in excitement. “Likewise,” Spawn responded, “glad to see that you are also alive and kicking, Bage.”
The main theme of all the questions was geared towards the strange absence of Detective Goku. This was not a surprise to the Spawn. Goku did kept tabs on them for a while and placed Detective Bage as a buffer to ensure they will focus on cleaning up their act. So, for Spawn to show up instead, who only interact with them once during the Roya incident, rather than Detective Goku himself raises questions. That he understood. What he did not understand is why all of them, especially Bage, are acting oblivious of what transpired at the Agency. His eyes peered off to the right, fixed on Gogeta for the moment. No words needed—he understood that Gogeta either did not tell or withholding information.
After returning to the ground, Spawn furrowed his eyes and his tone changed. “Detective Goku died in battle.” Tilting his head, the detective had a grim expression on his face. “The Detective Agency was under attack by the Xy’phers and their leader; they managed to turn Broly into one of them and went to attack us. During the scuffle…” Spawn narrowed his eyes as he continued to gaze as the fusion. “Gogeta escaped during it.”
“Oh?” Lucifer said. “And here I thought the Detectives have a changed of heart by letting Gogeta go. My, the boy says he had no idea!” The angel said, indicating that he overheard their conversations, even though he was not truly part of it. “But I am quite surprised, though. That Detective Goku was defeated by them?”
On the other hand, Spina narrowed his eyes upon hearing the news regarding Detective Goku’s absence. “Another potential fighter, lost.” He uttered from his lips, as he stops scratching his fingers against the wooden table. Unlike the other Breakers, he’s not aware of the “leader”, since Gogeta forced him away from the horde.
Spawn paused for a moment after Lucifer’s comments regarding Gogeta. He turned his eyes away from the fusion to face the rest of the Breakers. “During the battle, Goku and I were doing fairly well, until its leader came at us. She was capable of using gravity and seems to be radiant with dark energy. She and Broly coordinated their attacks to strike me down, but Detective Goku pushed me out of the way—and that thing stabbed him through his back and out his chest. He could’ve dodge it, but he didn’t.” He paused for a moment before continuing. “And turned to me as he extended out his arm. Before I can say anything, with that damn smile, he teleported me to a random place and I crashed through the ground.”
Pointing his finger to May Sheer. “Fortunately, I landed to a spot near May’s place. She is an acquaintance of mines a while back and helps out whenever she can. She took me in and attended my wounds until I got my rest. I bought her here for reasons I’ll get to in a minute. Once I was rested, I returned to my human form to avoid detection by those damn things as I said before. They are only aware of my energy for that form, but here as I am now, they won’t know. Furthermore, I was able to track you lot down because I placed a tracker on that monster’s body [Zenta] over there, allowing me to go to its location whenever its needed. Just in case. Clearly, it worked in my favor and the Xy’phers won’t know.”
Spawn turned to the Breakers. “After that, I do not know what happened to Detective Goku... I could not sense his energy anymore. No matter which direction, nor how many times I called, it was like he disappeared from the face of this planet. Considering I saw his chest burst opened and cracks spreading rapidly throughout, my conclusion reigns that he was turned into a Vortex Coin.”
