[Are you confused, @"Meta Knight"? That second half of your post does not make any sense. First, Cross does not have any access to them at all. He does not know where they are, as explained by Spawn, they are already secured. Second, you don’t know the capabilities of the side-effects of Roya or how it even works. You are making a leap of assumptions without any implications from my posting. There is a difference between Bage figuring out that Roya’s techniques do not affect blind people based on clues than Cross supposedly stopping it based on nothing. Stick with Cross participating in the battle instead of whatever that was. If you want Cross to have a more active role, you need to speak with me so we can have a clear understanding. Otherwise, I will, and can, dismissed that post as we move forward].

Allure City

“I like this one.” Lucifer made a round of applause at the mere suggestion of using explosives. Despite his tendency to question everything and offer different perspective, he has nothing to say regarding Berserk’s mayhem. “I have no objection to such. In fact, I’ll come along.”

“Are you getting a bit excited for it, Lucifer?” Lilith questioned in a deadpanned tone. 

“I can never pass on a good mayhem.” Lucifer placed his hand on his chin, eagerly excited about this plan. “Oh, I think I have the trick of luring her in.”

“Hmm.” Lilith turned to Bage after discussing Roya’s illusion seemingly having no effect on Zenta. “Blindness… I see. So, her tactics relies on sight for it to kick in, so Zenta is a perfect counter for her then when it comes to that kind of ability.” Lilith pondered on what to do with that horn. If she can make people fall asleep, she is potentially a dangerous opponent if she escapes. “I have no plans at this moment. It seems that we are all agreed. I’ll remain here though since my powers hadn’t recovered.” She turns to Avalon that claims to watch over him. “Do keep an eye out. It’ll be tiresome if he gets injured.” 

Reality Metropolis 

Ready to strike the final blow against Spina, Roya’s eyes widened with Zenta appeared in between them, feeling her body lunge upward towards the sky. Disarmed from her club, Zenta’s speed prove to be effectively outpace her, unable to dodge the swift of blows unleashed on her back.

“S-strong!” Roya blurted out as mighty blows generated powerful shockwaves upon each impact before being sent flying towards Gogeta. 

Spina slowly raise his head above the puddle of blood underneath it and looked at the sky of Roya facing immense pressure. “She’s about to do it…” Spina struggled to stand after getting decisive blows against his body. His injuries from Jirachi, Roya’s illusion and Roya’s blows were starting to stack up, but he kept on pushing on. “You. Help me up. I need to stop her before she does it.”

Roya, tumbling through the air, attempted to recover from Zenta’s blows and feeling burnt from Cross’ fire, only to be met with Gogeta’s elbow slamming against her face—the same words that rung in her head earlier. “S-strong…!” Her senses being knocked for a second, she was sent flying towards to the ground near Spawn and Spina.

Spawn, after helping Spina get on his feet, seen the Dream Warrior approaching them in high speeds. “Perhaps you need to sit back and relax, old man. Looks like we got this battle in the bag, I hate to admit. Still going to get some credit on stalling her for a while.” Spawn’s arms generated green energy, blasting the falling Roya multiple time before crashing against the ground. Without giving her any chance to stand, Spawn pulled out two machine-guns out of his cloak and set his sights on Roya. “Drop dead, dream fucker.” He unleashed a storm of green energy in shape of bullets in a barrage storm, driving her back to a building.

Moments later, Roya pulled herself from the building and smile. As her horn pulses with light as it started to become bright, blood from her forehead dripped down across her face as her eyes narrowed. An expression of confidence despite the mighty blows she received from them. “Yes… this is good. I’m glad that you are so strong.”

Spawn tilted his head, clearly annoyed. “The hell are you smiling for? Just surrender so I can go home. I’ll make my job easier.”

“Because now it time for deserts. Thanks for the meal.” Roya vaguely said, seeing Gogeta transformed and clearly Zenta being on a different level than she anticipated had her itching for something. “Let’s continue.” She grabbed the building with a tight gripe, nearly crushing the concrete, and lifted the entire skyscraper above her head ease. Swinging the building around easily like a bat, Roya attempt to smash everyone in effort to inflicted massive damage. Pulling out another bottle from her belt, she drinks the substances and spat it out, shooting a barrage of energy spears towards them. 

Spawn jumped out of the way to avoid getting smashed from the building and used his cloak to block the barrage. “That’s one strong bastard. Hey, old man. Got any ideas what she’s going on about.” Spawn turned around but Spina wasn’t behind him. “Huh?”
 
(@ShineCero the second part was mostly what was happing to the nightmares' of people that were effected by Roya's powers(It was stylistic choice on my end nothing more). Cross was mostly going off the thought that she was feeding on nightmares'. I would assumed Cross was thinking on the lines of lest see how changing the content of the dreams would effect her(I was leaving that up to you to chose). )


Cross thinks "I should send a creature to see what going on but I rather not risk those flames doing the opposite of what I wished and adding a body to her sleep count. I don't since them connecting yet nor any real change" 
 
"Illusions... I see now. With how vivid you hear things, one would think it was a more potent form of incantation." Bernkastel nodded her head. "Then it's settled; whatever energy we have remaining, we'll make it count. Zenta can sense energies to a very precise degree so if Roya attempts to try the attack once more using her horn he'll anticipate it before anyone else." She seemed surprised Lucifer took to the plan with such an excited look but all the more to their favor if he liked it.

"Wahaha! Glad to hear it little man." Berserk laughed heartily before patting the bird she and Avalon were on. She couldn't help but beam at her idea coming in handy at last. "And don't worry Miss Lilith, we won't let Roya touch a hair on his head! We'll stick to letting her chase us, but we'll be sure she doesn't try to strike us down during it."

Bernkastel looked up at Bage and nodded. "I'll keep close to you and Brachi while I get my familiars gathered. Hopefully we can catch her off guard long enough for me to damage her horn, but I'll be prepared for her to start chasing after me regardless of what happens. At which point, I'll follow Berserk and Avalon to the spot." Despite being fatigued from the last bout of battle, and lack of rest, it invigorated her a bit to finally feel like a proper strategy was actually assembled. Now she just needed to ensure everything fell into place. I can't help but feel a bit restless myself...

"Let's get on it then. I think I can hear the noise all the way over here, so let's not have Zenta and the others be forced to grapple with her for too long," Bern said moving for the 2nd bird. "Admittedly, I don't know much of the city's layout so it might be better for Bage to steer the avian..."
 
Gogeta's chest rose and fell in heavy breaths, a tense flexion of his muscles leading to him pulling his arms up. The pinkish fire rapidly expanded outwards as he grit his teeth, spacing his legs and dropping down his right shoulder. The swung building had reached him in the split second after finishing his preparation, and with a heavy roar, Gogeta lunged in a heavy charge to smash through the building in its entirety. Flames scorched through the glass, metal, and brick in chunking the top portion of the entire building off.

Gogeta took a brief moment to steady himself on the ground, soon bolting forward towards the onslaught of the energy spears. He carefully vaulted and weaved through the deadly, pointed energy attacks; occasionally slapping up to redirect spears that he couldn't dodge. Flipping gracefully, Gogeta landed with a firm impact on the ground in having closed the distance to Roya.

Barring a smug smirk, Gogeta cocked his right fist back for a brief second.

"I'll finish this right now!"

Hurling his fist, Gogeta roared in aiming to punch square into Roya's face.
 
"Leave it to me!" Bage nodded to Bernkastel and climbed onto the back of the second bird, ready to assist her and Brachi if then needed help on. "Everyone be careful and stick to the plan. Let's move out!"
 
[That’s only when they are cast under an illusion. Roya simply ate her dreams, so that does not apply. As I stated before, dreams are simply food for her, otherwise, I would have clarified such. I’ll take this to DMs to further discuss on this.]

Reality Metropolis 

Roya narrowed her eyes when seeing the sheer destruction left in Gogeta’s wake as he tackled the building. “Come on, get closer…” As the fusion closed the gap between them, seeing the sheer determination of his eyes. “Finish? We haven’ watch the climax yet!” She ducked her head down before Gogeta threw his punch and did a low spinning kick against his legs. Roya’s horn became extremely bright and transition through vivid colors, indicating that it was ready as she jumped on top on him.

“Look of how that rage is worsening that pretty face of yours.” Roya grabbed his face, squishing his cheeks hard until they turned red. “I bet your dreams will be delicious. Devour…!” Her horn started to shine—in which large clouds of smoke bubbled around his forehead before hurling straight into Roya’s mouth; she was consuming Gogeta’s dreams. Once Roya eats dreams from someone, it will leave them the inability to sleep—and takes a toll on their stamina. 

Titling her head back after finishing her meal, her muscle mass increased dramatically; her eyes and hair changed into bright red, the latter becoming wild as her power increased. “These dreams are extremely toxic, but I cannot stop eating, what an extraordinary taste!” Bursting with power, she recalled her club as she swung it in the air once, generating a powerful shockwave around her to shattered nearby buildings. Roya clenched her fist, beaming with energy, with intention to smash his face into the ground, but a storm of bullets slammed against her body and distracted her for a moment.

Spawn, moving out of the way from the energy spears and debris from the building raining down, fired multiple bullets in her directions, but it was cleanly bouncing off her body. “Hey, you have a bad habit of getting distracted too easily.”

“Distracted…?” Roya said, lowering her hand as she faced Spawn. “I’m perfectly focused. No one can sneak up on me. I’m perfectly in control of this fighting, and practically dominating—” Before finishing her sentence, Roya felt her body being lifted from the ground as Spina managed to grab her from behind.

“Got… you!” Spina struggled to speak from his injuries. “You ain’t eating anymore dreams now, Roya!”

“Huh!? Let me go! Can’t you see I am in the middle of enjoying my meal here?!” Roya said. “Let. Me. Go.”

Spina’s body began to gathered energy, practically shining as his tightened his gripe around Roya. “Take that damn idiot out of here. That’s the last time I have to save that fool…! And make sure you get the galaxy bottle when she’s nothing but pure dust!” The old Saiyan said to Spawn.

“Blowing yourself huh?!” Roya shouted. “You honestly think with that power dropping like that can even damage—”

“Blowing myself up!? Never! I’m merely unleashing every bit of energy I have stored and causing my body to overload to bring out a massive explosion, so you will get taken out!” Spina shouted back, failing to actually describe his intentions.

“……. You just described… what?” Roya became speechless.
 
Gogeta writhed under Roya's grip, gripping tightly onto her wrists to try and pry her off to no avail. He gasped in shock, his eyes darting around in seeing the smoke radiating off his head towards her mouth in utter confusion; the immediate effect of the attack being nothing on his body. Unaware of the extent the new ability damaged him, Gogeta rapidly shuffled towards the side to escape from Roya's grip under the distraction caused by Spawn.

He panted as he rose to his feet, standing in front of where Spawn landed, and he clenched his fists in recovering stamina in watching the development unfold. His eyebrows twitched in a violent, furious rage in hearing Spina's declaration that he would save Gogeta with his move; the act itself taken purely as a disrespect in his eyes once again. His voice was loud in a shot, venomous in crouching down slightly in a clearly expression of the rage finally breaking; the ominous surge of pink fire rising to swell around his body in mounting power.

"E̝̕Ṉ̲͠O̖̫̝̜̦͟UG̷͙̬̱͖̺͕H̫̬!̘͙̺͕!̭͇̞̹"

Gogeta hurled his right elbow back, slamming it into Spawn's torso to knock the detective back from making a move to restrain him. He grit his teeth, the ground beneath his boots shattering with his arm still held upright; the blow now in position as an arm cocked back ready to throw forward into a punch as Gogeta immediately shot forward. He roared violently, the energy and pink fire swirling outwards on his fist in launching it into a heavy punch into Roya's face. The blow itself did not slow from its initial impact; Gogeta pushing his arm further in slamming Roya's head into Spina's face to send the three toppling down onto the floor in a thunderous clash.

As they tore through the ground in the force of Gogeta's impact, the fusion himself had quickly corrected his stumbling from the sheer weight behind his impatient, rage driven strike. He snarled violently, using his left hand to swat the tumbling Roya further away as he charged directly at Spina. Gogeta shouted in a furious tantrum; his arms and fists flying forward in wailing on the disoriented Spina in a mindless fury.

̘̬̫̥̘̯̣"I͚'̫̤̤̹̥̰̠͜L͚͉̱͖̲͚͙L ͏͇͍̖̦̱͍ͅK̹̟I͔̻̝͍̘͖͝L̵̤ͅL͏̯͓̠̤̱̺ Y̖͓̯̝̱O͈̟͓̖͓̠̙U̹̫͙̗̗̫̗!̬͔̟̘̟͕͔!̬͍̰͇̼̱"
 
Cross thinks "I gest I was off about how her powers works. I know its a low level spell but I find that version of my self as annoying as Roya. I gest another round of needles but this time with out the dream flame. I should use some thing I had before the singularly thing." Cross lunched some more bone needles at Roya.

Cross' aim was not to harm her but to distract her for the others and Cross summing some closer to the action than he was(He far away form the actually fighting).
 
Brachi and Bara both were ready, with Brachi poised to land a distraction strike first, then pull back with Afterimages and clones to lure Roya in so the others could do their part.

"Let's get this show on the road." She said, waiting for the right moment to strike.
 
“Argh!” Spawn grunted as Gogeta slammed his elbow against his torso, knocking him back as a result. He slid against the ground before making a full stop. “What the hell… what the fuck is wrong with these guys?” Detective Spawn, despite only meeting a few of them for a few minutes, became tired of them already.

In conjunction of Spawn being knocked away, Spina’s body tightened as he gathered enough energy to unleash his strongest move. His eyes narrowed and eyebrows furrowed, Spina shouted with a confidence tone. “Rising Strike! Galaxy Expl—”

The back of Roya’s head slammed against Spina’s face, causing both to toppled down to the floor, interrupting the old Saiyan’s attack in the process. All the leftover energy Spina attempted to recovered disappear from his body, while Roya was kicked away by Gogeta, along with being struck multiple times by Cross’ bone needles to create distance between them.

Spina pushed himself off the ground, realizing that Gogeta had intervene once more. Nose bloodied, clearly battered with bruises and wounds, Spina turned to the fusion with scorned in his eyes. “You damn idiot, what the hell did you do!?” He shouted, but quickly attempt to dodge Gogeta’s attacks at the best of his ability, despite getting struck a few times here and there. Getting caught off caught from Gogeta’s demeanor to fight him, Spina maintain his efforts to dodge some of his attacks. “You couldn’t even do the simplest of things and stay the fuck down!? You’re going to get all of us exposed to her horn!”

Roya pulled herself up and turned to Gogeta and Spina getting caught in a brawl. “Eh? What are you guys doing? This is not a battle between you two. This is about me….” Slightly annoyed, but seeing that they were busy with that, it was her chance to feed once more. She spat to the ground after being punched in the face, showcasing noticeable bruises on the bridge of her nose. “Oh, well.... makes things a lot easier for me.” Her horn once again shines brightly as she narrowed her eyes. “Devour…!”

Spina placed his arms up to deflect the fury of blows, but one of them slipped and struck his face, tossing him to turned around to face Roya. Along with Spawn, both saw the horn’s shining light. Immediately, clouds of smoke came out of their heads and instantly went to be inhale by Roya—she was once again feeding off their dreams, dramatically increasing her power.

Spawn stumbled back a little back before regaining his composure. Shaking his head, he lifted his arm and fired a powerful energy beam towards Roya—without regard for Gogeta and Spina being in the way.

Roya smirked as she took another bottle from her belt and once again drank a strange liquid. She exhales blue smoke that collided with the energy blast, absorbing it before turning into a tiny hard ball. Roya quickly dashed forward and knock it back towards Spawn with her club. The ball hit Spawn’s head, causing it to immediately generate the same energy blast prior into a gigantic explosion, nearly anyone near him.

Emerging from the smoke, Roya looked around to see Zenta. “Where are you furball. You’re next on my meal ticket.”
