As the pair of teens high fived each other at the clone joke, Gogeta's grip on the table intensified ever so slightly. The cracking in the wood was substantially growing, yet the fact that the fusion could smash entire cities with ease already indicated that the man was extensively holding himself back. The slipping could be seen in his twitching eyebrows along with the cracking table; Vegetto having already turned around with a narrowed glare.
However, as soon as the teen splashed Gogeta's face with water, the fusion immediately ripped up the table from its foundation and tossed it aside. The explosive surge of anger was all in the blink of an eye; the rage snapping in Gogeta's eyes as he lunged for the teen, the blur of blue and orange slamming into Gogeta's side, and the two fusions toppling over each other across the ground to gain a bit of ground from the two. Just a few feet from the table, Vegetto grimaced and struggled extensively with a pained expression while Gogeta writhed under his headlock.
"Cayde!! I need help over here!!"
Cayde quickly volted from his seat, his chair tipping over onto the ground as he rushed to the squirming fusions on the ground. He drew his large hand cannon from his holster, rushing up and quickly pointing it down towards Gogeta in a bid to deter the fusion's rage. However, Gogeta managed to launch his right foot up and effectively kick the gun from Cayde's hand, a second kick priming with his other leg and slamming into the android's stomach. Cayde hacked in pain as he tumbled backwards, crashing into a nearby table.
Gogeta wiggled, and in an explosive surge of godly ki, erupted into a bright transformation. The blue aura swirled around both fusion's, and in the momentary shock of the spike that left Vegetto surprised, Gogeta managed to hurl his right elbow down to loosen the hold on his neck. The fusion shot up to his feet while the girl was pulling the two teenagers towards the exit, his right fist cocked back in a bid to unleash a devastating, lethal punch. Yet just as before, the entire movement was blur: Gogeta's contorted and rage fueled expression, the punch slowly moving forward, and then finally, another flash of blue fire erupting between the three pedestrians.
Once the rush of energy and flash had subsided, the pair of fusions stood locked in their stances. Gogeta, having hurled his right fist forward and legs spaced out on the floor, stood still with a shocked look on his face as his blue eyes met the same color of the man now standing in front of him. Vegetto's mouth hung open slightly, a small yet heavy set of pants ringing out in the restaurant. The Potara fusion stood with his own right hand raised, the white gloved fingers gripping tightly onto Gogeta's fist. Blue fire swirled around his body in a similar manner to Gogeta's; the sparkling energy rising up from both of their auras. Vegetto's hair and eyes had fully changed to the infamous color that earned Gogeta and Bernkastel's reputation to the patrons and the city alike.
Cayde blinked widely as he sat on the floor in the debris of the table shattered at his feet while he looked on at the two fusions both in the transformed state of Super Saiyan Blue. Yet Vegetto quickly caught hold of his senses after steadying his breathing, the blue energy immediately vanishing and reverting back to his normal state. The energy transition from a sensory standpoint morphed from the momentary spike of the familiar signature of godly ki, back to the ominous and toxic black energy that mounted within him. Once reverted back to his normal state, Vegetto sharpened his glare and promptly shot his left fist into Gogeta's stomach. The other fusion hacked in pain once again, dropping to his knees and clutching his stomach while he reverted back to his normal state as well.
Cayde quickly dusted himself off, moving to pick up his gun off the floor a few feet away and moving up to Vegetto who yanked Gogeta up by the collar of his vest.
"There are probably cameras in here."
"I know."
Cayde paused, leaning forward slowly towards Vegetto with a low whisper.
"It's not too late; I can clean this up like last time. You want me to get all the footage and take out some witnesses?"
Vegetto stood still, his eyes turning down. The actual prospect of silencing the cafe entirely other than the Breakers and Brainstorm crossed his mind, the usage of Super Saiyan Blue naturally would tarnish his image if word got out. The heroic image he presented had been one of the very few things he had left to cling to; the natural instinct to protect it at all costs kicking in as he began to imagine how many blocks or streets he could take out without being noticed. When that presentation in his head failed, the idea of wiping out the entire city ran through his mind. Perhaps other territories would still regard him as a hero if he simply spun the image that the Xy'phers had already taken over and he just wiped out everything to prevent the Red King from taking over. Yet that idea failed as well; Vegetto turned his eyes onto the group immediately in realizing the chances of any other Breaker or Detective going along with his psychotic plan would be impossible. Especially not the two that antagonized him the most: Bernkastel and Avalon.
His eyes first turned onto the witch, a scowl soon forming. The utter disgust soon formed as he turned his eyes to Avalon next; his own personal frustration with the two taking the forefront of his thought process next. The anger soon mounted inside, the malicious black energy steadily increasing as he turned his head to Cayde; a decision being made. Now with his massive ego and pride stoked in full, fueled by his overwhelming frustration at the pure nature of Bernkastel and his anger at Avalon's increasing need to fight against Vegetto's image, Vegetto turned towards Cayde with a venomous low whisper.
"Round up the footage from the cameras. Once I wipe out the Breakers, we'll take out the rest of the city. I can't end up like them."
The overwhelmingly ominous and viscous command was clearly beyond Vegetto's actual scope of capability, yet despite the entirety of what was wrong behind the statement, Cayde stood relatively unphased by the comment. The strange behavior was accented by the android's flat and neutral state for a moment, yet Cayde slowly raised his right eyebrow and looked up towards Vegetto with a low whisper of his own.
"Wait...wasn't that the plan though? Becoming a Breaker and ending up like them?"
Vegetto softened his stare slowly, the actual contradiction completely racking his thought process to the point of stunned silence. He paused in his thoughts, glancing back towards the table one more time. The realization dawned on him slowly, yet his initial strategy to disperse the negative sensation of internal embarrassment was a desperate bid to reimagine the moment of warmth he felt at the table in his disillusioned mind. Yet no matter how hard he tried, the table before him looked the exact same to him in reality and the longer he looked, the more the negative sensations he felt in confrontation with Bernkastel and Avalon continued to build once more.
He quickly turned on his heel, letting go of Gogeta's vest and promptly heading towards the exit.
"Forget it."
The command given was one of complete frustration, and soon, Vegetto exited the cafe to leave Cayde and Gogeta standing together a few feet from the table with the Breakers. The android stood firm and held a stone like expression of flat neutrality as Vegetto left, but once the Potara fusion was out of sight, Cayde visibly trembled as he let out a deep and heavy sigh. The mechanical eyebrows contorted heavily in as he rubbed his face in an exhausted look.
"Ok...one disaster avoided. One million more to go."
Gogeta stood with a small frown, still a bit doubled over and clutching his side from the blow that brought him back to his own senses. He watched Vegetto leave; the proximity he was in to the two giving him the capability to hear the entire content of the conversation. He furrowed his brows as well; the daunting and dangerous words from Vegetto having unnerved his thoughts as well, but he cleared his head once he heard Avalon whispering to him about a towel. Gogeta glanced back towards the table for a moment, his concerned stare returning as he looked towards the exit.
"Thanks...but I'm dry now."
Cayde turned back to the table, moving up and placing his hands on his belt with a perked stare.
"Right-o, shall we?"
The android turned his eyes onto Lucifer specifically; Cayde's initial fears internally primed in how Lucifer would react to the entire situation more than the others. The urgency in the android's voice gave clue to his own initial fears without detailing them all: the time to get to RNN without another situation unfolding was limited in his eyes and the android clearly pushed to get the group moving towards the RNN building.
