“This isn’t good. Need to get these people out of here.” Null Knight placed both hands together. At first, the Knight struggled to build up sufficient energy needed. “…I need to make sure I am stable enough…” The Knight’s body initially phased in and out before stabilizing. “Sentai Power… Teleportation!” A spark of rainbow light wavered Null Knight and the people saved during the attempted Xy’pher invasion. Instantly, they vanished without a trace.

Detective Spawn crossed his arms to protect his face after Vegetto’s explosive aura billowed around the Plaza. May and Bage were correct to not involved themselves, but Spawn still felt that something was needed. However, he was in no position to do anything after exhausting his strength after saving everyone. He cursed under his breath.
“Whoa…!” Stacey said, seeing the ground cracking underneath them. “You’re catching all of this Chad?! This is amazing stuff! This is more than just a Blue Devil…” Her eyes narrowed upon seeing red and black energy twirling around. “This is…” Stacey said. “A Monster!”
“Yes….!” Chad said. He fell backward on his behind but still held the camera in a position to capture what’s going on. Just like the President of the RNN, he was rendered speechless that Vegetto can look and act such a manner. His cruelty ever present; his “kindness” null and void.
As Vegetto approached while induced with unfathomable rage, Spina remains firm on his position. In kind, the older Saiyan raised his left arm; the skin peeling away as strange energy gathered around it in silence. His dull eyes finally animated; for the first time since his supposed death, Spina is feeling the urge to battle without any inhibitions getting in the way.
No words needed. Unlike the conflict between Spina and Gogeta, bore out of miscommunication and misunderstanding; both men here laid out exactly what they meant. Just like Vegetto, Spina will not be moved from his decision. Just as Zenta said to Avalon; there was nothing that will deter the men any further.
For every step taken, Spina shattered the ground beneath him; his raised hand pointing at Vegetto. Only when Bernkastel appeared before him, did he stop walking. His eyes locked onto the Witch. Once again, the indifference in his eyes returned somewhat when she gave her retort to both men, mostly to Spina in particular.
She challenged his authority and ordered that the Breakers will not be split. And the posed him the question for him to answer: “Are you in? Or Are you out?” The same question Bernkastel asked back during the aftermath of Doctor Doom. Lips parted away and uttered out a sentence. To everyone, Spina never said anything. But to Bernkastel, these words reached her in a voice that not his own: “Are you once again trapping this man to be tied to you?”
As the voice left just as quickly as it came, Spina crouched down to her level. Using his right hand, he pulled the witch closer until their foreheads touched. As both their eyes stared one another; his eyes filled with hatred that was leaking out. The older Saiyan was poised a choice: reject Bernkastel and continued his with his decision. Or. See why Bernkastel is so persistent on staying together. To him, these bonds were nothing but hinderance that get in the way. Brachi’s callous actions during this mission was the last straw for him.
Lucifer enjoyed the events unfolding, while drinking hot tea and eating plain cookies. Relaxing on a chair that Lilith provided, the angel was a mere audience observing how things will go from there. For example, he applauded Avalon for actually taking the initiative, and criticized Vegetto to the point of striking him. However, a wave of disappointment came when Berserk and Zenta talked sense into him. Seeing that the Detectives and May will not interfere with the quarrel, Lucifer wonders if this will lead to another battle. This time, he will be able to witness it himself since he missed the Spina v Gogeta conflict.
What’s most surprising about this ordeal, the sudden emotional front that Bernkastel conveyed. Out of all the Breakers, the angel considered her to be the most apathetic. Being one of the few people that he has no information on, Lucifer studied the Witch with care, watching her every move to see what makes her tick. She isn’t a god, but out of all of them, she was the closest thing to a deity like figure. Yet, as deities are fueled by self-important and arrogance, Bernkastel displayed the opposite by appealing to both of them and call out their reasonings.
“Much has changed since Cuki left,” Lucifer chomped down on a cookie. “To see emotion, rejuvenate in an apathetic person at this rate.” He thought. “Another project I’ll observed more closely.” More importantly, as the others have missed, is the strange wording that Bernkastel said to Spina directly. It was a strange comment, and no doubt anyone without any foresight nor knowledge will either dismissed it or missed it because other things had their full attention. But not Lucifer; he will see too it what Bernkastel meant. His eyes shifted to Spina, seeing how the man will answer her. Briefly before Vegetto declared his intent, Lucifer raised his head up; there were two distinct bright lights hurling down from the sky.
After Vegetto declared his intent of wiping Bernkastel away, and Gogeta stepping in to defend her, Spina too, rose up. Whatever answer that Spina could’ve give her, no longer matter. Raising his head, his eyes animated with hatred, as a familiar distinctive presence spiraled around him, but this time, here was a slight change since the last time he had an outburst of power. Without any sign of mercy or hesitation, Spina opened his palm with the intent to destroy everything in front of him.
“Fine. Disappear, just like your wife.” Before the old Saiyan fired, the two spiraling lights crashed down in their vicinity behind Vegetto. Debris kicked up and clouds of smoke billowed around that blocked their line of sight.
A figure of a man appeared behind Vegetto and raised his arm in the air. Without hesitation, the man’s arm dropped down and slapped the back of the fusion’s head, forcing him to crash against the ground. With absolute ease, the dust clouds dispersed, revealing the identity of the man who arrived at the scene.
Due to the slap, it generated intense pressure around them; it led his tropical theme cape to flow along with the wind. He wore a Tropical Thunder Hawaiian button-up shirt that had a S symbol embedded on the back, pink shorts, swirly sunglasses that rested on the top of his head, and rainbow-colored crocs. Strangely, underneath his crocs, there was a ball that had a person inside of it; it seems that he was engaged in a battle, until he didn’t have many scratches on him.
Tilting his head, the man spoke with sternness in his voice towards Vegetto. “Whoa, whoa! Vegetto! What on earth are you doing, my man? This isn’t like you! We need to do another time-out?”
