(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[Cherry]

Believe in my Existence

Yukino couldn't comprehend why everyone fought so fiercely to save her. This wasn't fair, they made her feel awful for failing, and even worse for not trying again. It was a phobia of failing born from despair. After doing it so much, Yunos, feeling the same heartache consoled her. But then, the princess appeared with Hikari's Royal Paladin deck. There were slight adjustments to accommodate for Alfred Early - the king of younger days. Blaster Blade arrived to fight with Blaster Dark, and then came back to fight alongside his king. Infuriated, fueled with raging jealousy, the knight of resolution was not going to let Ahmes take away everything from him. Not again. The Dragon of Hell was banished from the battle, The Dark Dictator spearheading the black knights against the young king.

In the midst of battle, tears overflowing, blood still dripping, confusion completely enveloped itself around the queen. Blaster Dark, taking her mental state in mind, took control of the battle. He commanded the Shadow Paladin himself, moving the cards with his will. Yet, a long forgotten feeling arose in the hearts of the two. Yunos... found himself enjoying the battle with Ahmes. This same feeling of thrill Yukino had grasped the day of her Card Capital marathon. Always cardfigthing for the sake of "duty" and to hone the skills of the "chosen"... That was the one time Yukino felt like she was fighting for herself - to enjoy life.

That feeling came back to her, and to Yunos - an ex-Royal Paladin.

Still, possessive of his queen, Blaster Dark pressed on. Yami followed, finally taking the game back in her hands. The final instants of the fight between the queen and the princess were joyous. Alfred was proud of how he carried himself back then, and how he still could now. Lamorak was overjoyed, Marron was giddy, even Macha gave a smirk; one without vile intentions. Charon thoroughly enjoyed his duel with the rival sage, all of them were having fun.

Though faulty drive checks, with Ahmes reappearing at the end, Yukino failed to guard Hana's last assault, taking damage. The Dark Dictator let out a pained shout, and the Dragon of Hell let loose a furious roar. They both vanished from the inner world of Yami's image. Inside, it was transformed back into one of light. Royal Paladin taking back their friend, and Shadow Paladin standing off in the distance. Some disdain, some content smiles, all of them vanished except Blaster Dark.

The holy knights embraced their returning queen, smothering her in affection.

How... could I not have noticed...

I was so scared of messing up again...

... I pushed away everyone I cared about, thinking I didn't deserve them...

Haha... I really don't... deserve them...

But... I love all of them...

Blaster Blade and Alfred gave an approving nod. "Welcome back", Ahmes greeted. Her genuine smile touched the hearts of the Sanctuary, glad to be home. Though, Yukino turned to the isolated Blaster Dark. He looked down, angered and saddened by this outcome. He was alone... and his home was with the black knights. More overly: the Dragon of Hell.

"Yunos!" Hikari called out, getting his attention. Even upset by the circumstances, he gazed upon his queen - Yami - with yearning, hopeful eyes. "Come here with us."

"What?" The man was dumbfounded.

"Yunos, you don't have to walk a solitary path of despair anymore. Especially not aligned with Phantom Blaster Dragon. The alliance allowed you to-"

Blaster Dark spit on the ground. "Can it, Ahmes. I don't need your lecturing, nor your offer."

Yunos turned aside, giving off a faint smile, before vanishing in darkness. Hikari's world was completely refilled with light once more.

Blaster Dark +50 Affinity
Shadow Paladin -50 Affinity

On Earth, the pain from her head was easily ignored. It wasn't searing like it was before, almost numb even. The bloodied woman looked at her sister with glee.

"Thank you, all of you."

Royal Paladin +30 Affinity
Hana +5 Affinity
Haruka +5 Affinity
Satoshi +0 (5) Affinity (Currently sealed)

[Jello]

Haruka heard the fight. Everything. The clashing of swords and the sound of tears shed. A battle won by Hana. Haruka wasn't exactly sure what had happened in the end. There wasn't much of a way that he could respond to all of it. He simply took all of it in, imagining the intense battle between Yukino and Hana, what he heard as Ahmes and Yunos, and the Dictator versus the younger King of Knights, Alfred early.

Haruka felt a sudden sting in his side. An internal kick?! Hana, you fiend!

Haruka lay there, listening to the fight. It felt like decades, before either side gave any ground. He felt as if his was body was overlooking Cray as an ethereal being. The feeling of watching that battle from start to finish. It was mind blowing. However he knew it was all in his head because the heat from Dragon Empire was not dying down in the slightest.

Alfred Early as the rearguard dishes out the final blow. Hana, and the Royal Paladins, had pulled Yukino away from the Shadow Paladin's grip. Haruka was relieved. It took nearly every ounce of remaining energy in his sapped up body to put up a thumbs-up and smile. "You did it, guys."

And that was all she wrote. Haruka, exhausted and happy, passed out in the grass in the park. He figured it was a good enough spot to sleep anyways.

Yukino AP+5

Hana AP+5

[Hope]

A close battle, that could've gone towards anyone's favor, one that required tons of risks and decisions.
... but it also one that was just simply a lot of fun.
Hana was overjoyed to see that Yukinee that she knew back again.

She carefully organized the cards and handed the deck back to her sister. The knights themselves, celebrated, Hana celebrated. Of course, wherever they are, the Bermuda Triangle celebrated. The knights have now been returned to their rightful Vanguard. Hana's heart let out a bitter-sweet feeling, as she will miss her time with Alfred and the rest of the crew. But then she remembered, Alfred was probably the most fidgety when it came to the meetings among the nation's alliances, she will be seeing a lot of him in the coming days.

Also, Hana wasn't completely without any of the Royal Paladin. She reached into her bag, and then...

"Woof."

Dandy.

She knew it wasn't a goodbye to the knights anyways, as she would be with them whenever she was with her sister, whom has now returned, hopefully brimming with more confidence than ever. Hana did wonder why Geodude ran off when she first entered the park. She saw it in movies, how people who got rejected would act like that. So Hana came to the assumption that Geodude probably asked Yukinee out and was turned away... that must be it.

Nonetheless, it seems that all was well, and the two Espoir sisters are now happy again.
Hana hugged her sister, "Nee-san, I welcome back."

[Crystalia]

When Miyuki entered the park, she felt an odd sensation. It almost seemed like something had happened here, but there was nothing to show. Ignoring it, she continued on, going on her standard walk.

'Man it took two days this time for the buisness to be dealt with' she thought. Two days of not seeing Hana at all, or practicing, or playing vanguard. Sometimes she hated being called out suddenly, but she had gotten used to it. Shrugging, she pulled out her deck, gazing at the Pale Moon cards inside it. 'Huh, Pale Moon?' For a second, there was confusion in her eyes, another strange sensation. Then it vanished.

'Why would I be suprised to see Pale Moon there?' she thought. 'I've always had them. Must be because I was so busy recently'. Brushing these thoughts aside, she continued along. 'Hmm, maybe I should see how Hana is doing. Or perhaps I should wait until tomorrow, it is late afterall'.

[Helios]

Hazama walks to the park. All this mess I have caused, no one will understand why my motives are what they are. He finds that same hill, the same patch of grass where he had different goals and was invited to PSY. Hercules, if you can hear me, I will avenge your downfall.

He lies down on the grass and looks up at the stars. Then he notices a star shoot across the night sky. Except this one has a little aura around it and Hazama feels as if it is connected to him. I promise to you, I will avenge your fallen sword, just as my mother taught me to do in this secluded life.

"I WILL PREVAIL!"

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Kurai had recently got out of a hospital bed after blacking out during the finish of his card fight with the Underground King,Hikaru. Its been 2 month's since that happened His power was eminence, along side the unique Zeal.

It keep playing on his mind. How could he have lost to such a unit. One with the ability to lower the vanguard's power. Not only that, but this Limit Break skill, it surpasses the limits of one's ability to make them even stronger.

Whilst in the Hospital, his sister Yuri sent him some new cards to use, they were all Dark Irregular cards, one certain card had the Limit Break ability. Dark Lord of the Abyss. Although it had limit break, its skill was similar to Amons with the terms of the power it can gain from the soul.

Kurai sat down on a nearby bench and began to look through his deck once more.

a few moments later, he decided to go to card capital to improve further

[NeoBuster]

While holding his Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion, Neo decided to stop at the park to rest. Still pondering about what Limit Break is, Neo thought to himself "What more can there be to this power?" After taking a sip of water, Neo looks through his deck making some minor changes then lays on the bench thinking about his next move.

[Helios]

After leaving Card Capital, Hazama wants to go relax in the Park. He goes to his hill where he usually relaxes, but he notices the city has installed a bench right across from his spot. Really?! There's like thousand of other places in the park in need of a bench, and yet they chose this spot here.

Then, Hazama sees a guy occupying the bench. He walks over to the bench.

"Hmmm, excuse me, but could you find another bench in this park. I'm trying to relax over on that hill across from here, and yet your sitting right here which makes it a little awkward," he asks the stranger.

[NeoBuster]

Neo notices the stranger come up to him asking him to move and Neo replies by saying "Not to be rude, but this park is for everyone, and im pretty sure im not in your way, so why dont you keep moving?

[Helios]

Hazama looks at this stubborn man not willing to negotiate any further. He sees this man holding a deck in his hands as well as some cards on the bench. He picks up one of them. "Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion eh. So you play for Narukami, haven't seen this deck in ages. Does it still pack the skill it once used to have, or is it a waste like the others?"

[NeoBuster]

Listening to this guy, I didnt really know how to respond considering my memory was foggy on how Vermillion came to me. But when he said was it a waste, I had a problem with that. Of course it has skill" I replied back. But since its that much of a problem to you how about we cardfight then? He asked the stranger

[Helios]

"I never said I had a problem with Narukami, I was just asking if it still had strength, sheesh." He looks at his deck, "I guess if this does turn out to be a waste of my time, I wont have nothing to lose. Sure I'll accept your challenge."

[NeoBuster]

Alright then. Neo set up the portable cardfight table. He set his starter and was ready to fight

[NeoBuster]

Vermillion led the charge and i dealt the final blow to Hazama's Vanguard. The 6th damage fell and no heal was seen. I felt good about standing my ground but... that cardfight was different then the others. I felt pain everytime i took damage. "I never knew Vanguard was this painful" I said to myself. Now that he defeated Hazama, Neo layed down on the bench not expecting anymore interuptions. He then started thinking about Hazama. "He said he was out to cause pain and destruction" Neo thought. That is something I wont allow, if our paths ever cross again. Just at that moment Neo put his deck in his bag, closed the bag tight and layed down on the bench and took a nap. 

[Helios]

Hazama gathers his deck from the strangers portable fight table. "Enjoy the pain while it lasts," he says. Before Hazama walks off he says "May destruction follow you, and may despair follow." Hazama starts to laugh as he walks of.

He puts his headphones and starts to walk the beach. He presses play on his current track. It so happens that it got paused right before the fight and the first thing he heard was, "Gotta eat the booty like groceries."

"I love Post to Be by Omarion, he says aloud.
