Berserk winced in surprise at the sudden gust of air, reactively keeping her arms at Lucifer's sides and holding onto Avalon's shirt so the small angel wouldn't get blown away. At Avalon's questions, the punk stared back with a shocked look of her own. "Uh..." For several moments her gaze darted off in several corners as she seemed to make a slew of mental calculations. "I marked four buildings spaced out in the shopping district to plug with C4 setups. They're pretty much frags with long fuses so one easily could take out the building they were in, but I didn't plan to make 'em all go off at once!" Berserk explained. "All at... once..."

Bernkastel let out a small yelp at being practically shoved by the force of the wind, grabbing onto Bage's shoulders with a grunt of dismay. "It looks pretty visible from here! Something massive was going on down there!"

"Er, well, I-- it's supposed to be pretty stable so it shouldn't have went off on its own from something like a little rumble and tumble.... I don't think it's meant to have a blast radius that large-- grr, no no no! I was supposed to set it off, this can't be right at all!" Berserk fumed to herself before taking a deep breath; she was evidently looking forward to detonating it herself and seeing the aftermath. All that hard work might have just gone up in flames. "W-We'll check anyway once we get there. Just lemme think of a plan B in case..."

"It better not have been that idiot Gogeta having found them and messed about..." Bern grumbled under her breath before she suddenly pointed at the odd object that appeared towering the clouds in the far distance. "Look there, what's that?!"

"... Whoa! It's just like that sword lady's attack!" Berserk exclaimed. "Things might get really hairy once we land! Shoot, and we were almost goners then being at full power. And that grandpa still insists we stay away? How's he gonna win against that by himself..." she began to sweat at the pressure of the growing need to start brewing up an alternate strategy-- but she couldn't think straight!
 
At Spina's realization of the damage he had received, another sight exploded up from the rubble and flames. Cement and brick cascaded up in a brief explosion of wind and telekinetic power, Gogeta standing tall in his transformed state. Scratches littered the exposed skin on his body, yet the stains of blood stopped at the matching fur that radiated with a pink fire swirling around his body. He panted heavily, damaged and clearly tired, but in much better condition than Spina.

His aura swirled violently as he approached, smashing through the rubble until he had come within a few feet of Spina's position. Gogeta instantly narrowed his eyes in staring down at the older Saiyan, the malice clear in his dual voice along with the commanding tone.

"Get up. You don't get to die that easy."
 
As Avalon flew closer and closer to the city, he noticed the large crater in the center of the town. Everything around it was completely gone and it looked like a scene from an apocalypse. The city was a mess before but now... it was barely recognizable. As the bird soared over the large crater, Avalon noticed Zenta and Roya in the middle with Roya about to smash the furry beast. There's no way Berserk's bombs did this... D-Did Roya do this?

"Hey, isn't that Zenta?!" Avalon cried out, pointing below. "And it looks like's he's about to get beaten by her giant club! Shoot, we gotta do something quick! If you like to talk crap Lucifer, now is a good time!" Avalon rose to his feet on top of the bird, keeping his balance as it soared above the destruction of the fight. He turned to Berserk with a grin. "You said the bombs are in the shopping district, right? I'mma head there now! You can control paper hawks, right Berserk? Give Roya a good trash talkin'!"

Without much of a warning, Avalon, the driver of this paper avian, hopped off and unrolled his scroll to enlarge it, turning it into a glider as he headed to the district. Once there, he landed in the center and looked around, trying to find the buildings Berserk marked.

Right, I gotta be quick! Knowing Berserk, she'll probably mark the buildings with some graffiti or other illegal stuff...
 
"Huh? Wait, where are you--" Berserk watched Avalon sail off in the other direction, heaving herself with Lucifer and the bird. "Wait! How'm I supposed to steer this thing?"

Bernkastel peered down at the ground ahead of them, her eyes widening with shock seeing that there was a massive crater situated there. Before she could even ask what could have happened, Roya's club came into clear view and she gasped seeing her still standing. "She's going to swing it down on someone! If we don't do something soon...!" Bern could make out a figure but from their height it was hard for her to be sure that the person Roya was about to attack was Zenta. Regardless of whom, it was an alarming sight to come down to.

"Just stick to the plan and everything should fall in place! We're going in first!" Berserk replied before trying to reach over and attempt to steer the avian closer to the battle field. "Alright Lucifer, get ready... things might get pretty heated but I'll keep us out of harm's way." The club's enormous height was definitely a caution, and Berserk knew to leave that issue to Bage for when his team landed on the ground. First thing's first was to get her attention...

"Hey, you! Still got the energy to swing that old club around, I see!" Berserk shouted from above as she steered the bird inwards. "A large and unwieldy thing like that is so dated-- did you and that old man (Spina) grow up playing with rocks and dinosaurs?!" She taunted with a smirk, drawing her cleaver sword with a free hand as a gesture to incite Roya.
 
Roya turned her head slightly when Berserk called out to her with insults regarding her club. “What did you say…?” She once again spat to the side, losing more teeth from her wounds increasingly becoming worse. “Oh, you’re the rest of the gang. Took you long enough to get here…” Her tone was agitated that she disrespected her club. “You little orange bastard… you want to fight?! I’ll smash you too!!”

“Oh my, did you get a makeover? I must say, it definitely an improvement.” Lucifer chuckled. “I was going to give you a nasty look for what you done—but you went ahead and got it already.”

“The fuck you say…!? How about you say that to my face—”

Lucifer rapidly appeared in front of Roya, their faces inches from each other. “Just as I said. You’re all talk, toothless. I envy the trees working overtime to provide the oxygen you are wasting.”

Stumbling back, Roya narrowed her eyes as her face turned red. “You shitty brats! You want to die!?”

“If death is the only way to escape that dreadful look of yours, then please, smash away. Try not to miss though, judging from that look, you seem the type to do so.” Lucifer’s body vanished and appeared behind Berserk.

Roya grinned her teeth as she turned to Berserk and Lucifer, ignoring Zenta as she tapped into her rage. “You damn brats…!” She shouted as she rushed forward to head to their direction, her club still present in size with intent to smash them with it.

“Who the hell are those two…?” Spawn said. “I’ve never seen them before… aren’t they the Breakers too?” Shaking his head, it was a good time to save Zenta. “Okay, whatever they are doing, they got her attention.” He jumped in the hole and landed near Zenta. “You, beast man. You’re capable of moving?”
 
(The revenant still after Roya(I don't think I missed any thing))

The revenant seemed only to get energized after hitting Roya. It gets ready for its next move as Roya starts to bleed out.

Cross thinks "the funny thing is most them really not seen the insanity that the reality vertex holds."
 
"Berserk is right, everything will be alright if we stick to the plan." Bage held his arm out in front of Bernkastel, noting the dire situation that Zenta had currently been in. He watched as the plan was finally thrown into motion. The junior detective smiled as Roya's attention was diverted just as predicted. "Now all we have to do is wait for our moment."

He looked over the massive crater, scanning for Detective Spawn and the other Breakers. Bage was relieved to see Spawn, but then his eyes caught Gogeta and Spina near each other among the chaos. Although he couldn't see exactly what they were doing, he had a hunch that it had something to do with that petty rivalry of theirs. And it couldn't be good for what remained of the city. He turned back toward the others, preparing to leap off the paper bird.

"Bern, I'm going down to Spawn and Zenta for a moment. If I'm not back in time for us to ambush Roya, then Bara and Brachi will keep her occupied until I get back. Understood you two? I'm counting on you to handle that madwoman when the time comes."
 
Berserk snorted out a laugh watching the insults Lucifer threw Roya. "That worked great! Almost a little too well, but the look on her face...!" As soon as Lucifer reappeared with her, Berserk steered the bird in a sharp turn away from the crater and to the streets. Now their next step was to keep Roya from actually following through and crushing them with the club-- something that size definitely had an insane amount of weight to it so she needed to use that to her advantage. It was all to buy time for Avalon to locate the buildings, which were marked with her red smiley faces. "See if you can catch us GRANDMA!"

-----
Bernkastel stared down at the crater below, eyeing the small group of people with shifty eyes before looking back up to Bage. The state of Zenta before he left Allure City flashed by her mind, as did the troublesome prospect of figuring out what caused a crater this massive to begin with. Those were all the more reason to serve as ground support. "I'm going too-- we can cover more ground and I'll be able to alert you if Roya comes back through my kitties. Down there I won't have to spend as much energy using telepathy with them, so you should use the chance to get all your intel from that Spawn person Goku was talking about. I'll gather my forces quickly." She also turned back toward Brachi and Bara. "Against a person like Roya, I'm afraid I wouldn't be of too much use as I am right now. Not without my familiars readied for combat anyway, but you're both capable ladies."
 
Brachi and Bara nodded.

"Are you ready for this?" Brachi asked.

"Yes, I am." Bara replied.

"Good, then let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown." Brachi said as she cracked her knuckles akin to Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star, ready to do her part in kicking ass and taking names, waiting for the right signal and moment to strike.
 
"Okay, okay, gotta work fast!" Avalon said to himself as he searched for anything to resemble Berserk. Luckily, the buildings were marked with something he recognized as Berserk's trademark red smiley faces. "I'll have to have a talk with her about graffiti..."

Avalon panted as he stared at all buildings marked with a red smiley and began to mentally calculate something. From where he stood, would be the best place for Roya to stand to get the most carnage from the blasts. With quick hand signs, the ninja released water from his hands to drip and soak on the ground. Once there was a vast puddle of water on the ground, he began to direct some of it towards the buildings where it solidified into ice.

"Alright, now we just have to find a way to get Roya to stand here, she'll be right in the middle of Berserk's bombs!" Avalon stared up upon hearing Berserk's voice and realized that he would have to be somewhat close to Roya to snag her in his trap due to the fact that he didn't have enough energy to do it from a distance. He gulped at the thought and wondered if it would even work. But regardless if it didn't, he still has to try. "I only got one shot to make Berserk's mayhem take full force. Just prepare yourself, Avalon... Stay calm..."


Zenta panted as he was on his knees, awaiting the fate that Roya was going to deliver on him. As he waited to be beaten by her club, he overheard familiar voices, that being Berserk and Lucifer's. His ears sprang up as he let out a gasp and immediately glanced up to see the two of them in the sky as they drove Roya away from him. He gritted his teeth, knowing Roya, even in her current state, would be too much for Berserk or Lucifer to handle. When Spawn came up to him, it was clear that Zenta's last move had strained his body more than he anticipated. The beast was barely able to move and was practically paralyzed at how heavy his body felt. It was temporary but at a time like this, it felt like forever. All he could do was slowly force himself up to his feet as his body shook violently in objection to him moving at all.

"T-The young miss and the child!" Zenta said to Spawn, out of breath as he pointed at Berserk and Lucifer in the sky. "They cannot stand up to Roya..! You must stop Roya before she kills them! You must! I... I will help you."

The beast attempted to walk but he ended up falling to his knees yet again; the immense strain on his body for the last couple of days ultimately piled upon him and finally take its toll. All he could do was push himself to the edge of the crater in a desperate attempt to get out. While he managed to painfully slip out of the crater, all he could do was roll on his back and stare at the sky, gasping for air. Strangely, his fur began to bristle, obviously agitated, but not from pain. It seemed more like...anger.

I cannot let any harm befall the Breakers... I must... continue!
