Jello:
"W-Wait!!" Haruka yells after him, but it's already too late. Itou has began his mad-dash towards the car into the shopping district. Haruka sighs and begins a long trudge towards the inner parts of the city.

"I need to sleep." With that remark, he begins his walk towards the inner city.

So much for sleeping... Tch. What a stubborn boy.

"You're right on that one, haha.." Haruka grins a big grin and keeps walking. Slowly but surely.

Beryl:
Satoshi sat at the curb, thinking about his purpose. What was it, then, if it wasn't significant? Why could he talk to his cards and see other card spirits if there wasn't some reason for it? Everything had a purpose, didn't it? At least, that was how he was raised...even if that purpose wasn't big, it was still something...

"I don't suppose you've figured it out yet, have you?"

A voice out of thin air. Satoshi looked around, trying to figure out where it came from before looking forward and noticing a gentleman with flowing green hair just sort of...hanging there, in the middle of the street. Floating.

"Wh...who are you?" he asked, clearly perplexed by his ability to hang in the air indefinitely.

"Tell me what you remember about getting that suit," the figure replied, pointing at his clothes.

Satoshi scratched his chin. He remembered the lady saying she saw great potential and purpose in him despite looking outlandish, and wanted to help him fit in with the rest of the people in the city so he could pursue that purpose. Nothing about floaty guy, though.

The figure grinned. "That lady who helped you is one of my associates. There are a few of them around, here and there." He stopped floating and stepped forward, extending a hand.

"I am known by many names, but you can call me Seph."

Satoshi went to shake his hand and watched his fingers go right through. Seph chuckled. "Pardon, I forgot that I was a spirit for a moment. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, though, Satoshi Kurosaki."

Satoshi scratched the back of his head. "S-so...Mr. Seph...why are you here? I mean, I appreciate the suit and all, but..."

Seph nodded sagely. "No, you're correct. That's not entirely why I'm here." He bent down on his knees, even though he definitely didn't have to, and pointed in the direction of Satoshi's heart. "I'm here about this, actually." Satoshi looked down at his chest with a quizzical look.

"My heart?"

"Well, your motivation, if anything." Seph leaned back a bit, resuming his float. "You see, you do have an important task involving the planet Cray, albeit it's not...that significant."

"What is it?" Satoshi stood up, now genuinely curious in what Seph had to tell him. "Am I going to help in some major quest like the one Miss Yuki is doing?"

"Well...no, Hikari's task at the helm of the clan Royal Paladin is something a bit more...significant. But your task does involve assisting those like her." Seph floated up a bit to meet him at eye level. "See, Cray's clans and nations...they need leaders---no, not leaders. Champions." He pointed at Satoshi. "And I vouched for you as the champion of Neo Nectar. A lot of others don't necessarily like that, but I wanna help you help me prove them wrong."

"What exactly is it I have to do?"

"Well...essentially, as the champion of Neo Nectar, you're part of the forces that are fighting for the preservation of the current state of Cray. You're not leading the charge, like Hikari is with Royal Paladin. The Royals are in charge, we're more of...how do I put this..." Seph scratched his stubble for a bit before raising a finger. "Ah, lieutenant. That's a good word."

Satoshi bit his lip. "W-well...that seems important and all, but...what exactly am I supposed to do to help, beyond just being there?"

Seph shook his head. "That is something you have to determine as you proceed. What I can tell you for sure is that as long as you find those who share your trait or genuinely respect it, you will be with someone you must help protect. Such is the way of the champion gardener of Neo Nectar." He pat Satoshi on the head, which the boy noticed he actually felt this time. "I'll be with you via your deck when you need me. Just keep at it and you'll figure out what's going on. You're a smart young guy." Seph then disappeared into Satoshi's pocket, which took him by surprise until he noticed what card was at the bottom of his deck, facing out, as he went to go and look through.

He smiled. "So you're in Glass Beads right now...I see." He stood up. "Well, I can't let you down, can I? Especially after you've given me this chance and all." He walked off, aiming to find others who could speak with the cards, just like him.

Kuro:
It was late at night, but at last, Haruki reached the place he needed to be. The Rijiku Apartment Complex was a pretty place, painted with a nice variety of spring colors, and flower gardens everywhere. He ran straight to the door marked "203" in bright numbers, then knocked politely. It took a few minutes until Haruki realized that no one was home.

"I guess I'll drop these off in the room," Haruki said to himself. He unlocked the door and entered to see an apartment that's barely been touched. There was no furniture or colorful paintings on the walls... just empty. He looked inside and found all of the rooms were the same gray, blank space, he couldn't even tell what the rooms could have been for. Only one of them had a closet in it, so he assumed it would have become a bedroom, but when he opened the door, it was completely black, except for a few small, white words scrawled into the back wall.

you shouldn't have come here
Haruki took a step back from the eerie text, but there was nothing to step back to. The doors were shut behind him, and he could hear echoing voices coming from the outside.

"This was your own mistake.. invading my home. If you think you can escape now.. you don't stand a ghost of a chance.. Haruki."

The enclosed area he was in collapsed, and Haruki found himself in a graveyard. In front of him was a tombstone shaped like a cardfight table, and across the way was a child, no more than 2 or 3 years old by the looks of it, covered in extreme burns markings all over his small body. He was also standing by one of these tombstones, and in his hand was a vanguard deck.

"Wh-wh-what's going on?" Haruki finally spoke after experiencing this shocking series of events.

"This will be your final resting place. I know you were there that night, the night I was killed." The child spoke in a deep, ominous voice, seemingly matching with his decrepit appearance. "Your fate will be decided with these cards, the cards that my family has always used."

"WHAT!? I don't wanna die yet! Auauu~!" Haruki teared up slightly, but his vanguard deck began to float out of his bag onto the stone table. "This is omega spooky, but I have to win to get out of here. Fine, I'll fight you ghost baby!" A determined look from Haruki showed that he was pumped up for a fight.

"Stand up, Vanguard!" they both shouted.

"Mecha Trainer," Haruki said.

"Guiding Zombie," the child responded.

Their cardfight ensued, with Haruki's life on the line. Towards the last moments of the fight, the child attacked with Monster Frank and dealt a massive triple critical attack to Haruki. He managed to survive though, and won the game by being able to free up his front row with Juggernaut Maximum's skill, then superior calling two more after checking them with General Seifried's twin drive. The child was dealt his sixth damage and dispersed with a few last words.

"You can go free, but I will remain here.. Never leaving until I can have my revenge.." his words echoed as he faded away.

"Hey! Wait!" Haruki shouted at the ghostly figure, but it was too late. The graveyard around him shattered, and he was back outside the door marked 203. "What was that even?" Haruki said to himself as he looked in his hand and noticed the keys were missing. He continued to the train station towards his home without another word.

Kisaragi Zane:
"What happened...?" holding his head in pain and his deck in his hand, the blonde-mixed Jellal was struggling down the residential area from the underground slums. He face had 2-3 dirt marks while his clothes were dusty. His blonde hair had patches of spots that settled. His hands were ashy and dry, yet still were gripping his Shadow Paladin deck. It was like he was in pain, he couldn't figure out what exactly was up, but he continued down the area. All that he could remember was being defeated by Hana and then blacking out.

"Ugh.." he thought at the sound of another defeat. He stopped and leaned against a brick wall, holding up his deck. "Why do I feel so... weak...?" he asked himself. Not just cardfight-wise, but physically, mentally, and spiritually weakened down. It was like he was struggling to continuing to find his destination. However, he knew the answer right away. It wasn't him, entirely..., but rather, the deck he is using. Sliding his back against the brick wall, sitting on the street while trying to recover, Jellal stares into his avatar card, waiting for a sign.

Hope:
The very ground around Zellal shakes, and a large gust of wind blows all around him.

The ground rips apart and the houses are torn apart by large gusts of wind. Dust flies away without even a chance to scatter.
Trees are cut down by the sharpness of the storm and are taken away, the very world around Jellal turns to dust. It begins to rain heavily.
The pieces of the world gather in the distance, twisting into a tornado.

"Do you dare to step forward and become one with the storm?"

----------------------------------------------------

(Zellal has been summoned into the rift, step forward if you wish to proceed.)
