(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[Kisaragi Zane]

"So this is Neu?" he thought to himself as he noticed how quickly Satoshi ended his explaination. Jellal stood as Neu approached them, thinking what could possibly happen next.

[Hope]

"What, I need my exercise." She said, dumbfounded.

She had to check if Satoshi had been enjoying himself while playing Vanguard. Furthermore, she hasn't seen Jellal in awhile, two months not actually. Initially the Rift wasn't even going to bring back Aqua Force due to his failure and traitorous act of agreeing to end the Civil War and fight alongside the enemy. Neu wasn't having any of that since he still did hold up his end of the bargain that time, at the very least, it was to use the Dragon of Hell to claim powers for the weird space-time guy. Plus, he seemed to really like Aqua Force, so she used her own power to bring it back for him.

"Hey, Jellal, you've been enjoying playing with Aqua Force right? Vanguard is a lot fun for you now isn't it? Yeah yeah!?" She leaned over to him, asking him with a big grin on her face, giddy and hopefully that her efforts were not in vain.

[Kisaragi Zane]

"Yeah..." as suspicious as she was to him, she was right. Jellal had begun to have fun playing with the clan he enjoyed being with and one that was his alone. However, he hadn't forgotten, the price that needed to be paid to bring back Aqua Force: and the effects that are being had upon those who lost their clans, putting him in a state of limbo.

[Hope]

"That's good." She gave herself a mental thumbs up, "good job Neu, you did the right thing!"

She gave stood back tall and stretched a little, yawned a bit, having overslept a little today. She turned over to Satoshi who had promised him that he would have fun games from when they met up at the amusement park.

"So leaf boy, you been having fun too?"

[Beryl]

"Fun..." Satoshi stared at Neu. It was true that she had helped him remember what part of the point was when playing Vanguard. It was definitely important to have fun.

But...

"I'm enjoying Vanguard, but it's more fun when my friends can enjoy it as well. And right now, they can't enjoy Vanguard in the same way I can because their hearts are broken over their lost clans." He pointed a finger at her purse. "Clans that you have and use, despite saying how much better it is that they're sealed away. If you think that's the case, then why use them yourself? Isn't that defeating the purpose of keeping them gone?"

He gave a sly smile. Trying to throw him off this time wasn't going to work. He had spent some time waiting for Jellal thinking about what could possibly be the purpose of bringing back the avatars. Lies weren't going to cut it this time, especially when they were one of his least favorite things on Earth.

[Hope]

He got serious really fast. That's awkweird. Neu got quick migraine over the sudden attempt of playing hero and took a pill from her purse as well as a bottle of water and drank it. Nope, still being S R S. The first thought that came to Neu's mind was, "CHILL DUDE I JUST ASKED YOU IF YOU'VE BEEN HAVING FUN OHMG."

She kept her calm and cool composure, for like, six seconds. Neu doesn't have a cool and calm composure. That's a joke kids. She started scratching her head, sweating and pacing back and forth as if backed into a corner. That's because she was the lead of her school's musicals for all of high school and was really good at stage acting. This is another joke for the kids out there. Back to business, after the constant pacing and pretending to care she stopped, looked at Satoshi in the eye, and said the following words:

"Man, the whole idea of keeping them gone is so that they don't cause problems on Cray and on Earth." Neu shrugged, "As long as they're in my hands, its completely fine. Their powers are too great to keep around, it'd really cause issues. I kind of need them right now so I can go around and show people a fun time while playing this game and help a few people that I promised I'd help out anyways."

[Grimm]

Noah is enjoying a leisurely walk through the park when he hears something about lost clans and having fun playing vanguard. At first he believes it is just kids playing a make believe game, but something about it catches his attention, the people talking about the lost clans were clearly seasoned cardfighters. This sparks something in Noah and causes him to approach the group.

[Beryl]

Satoshi chuckled, then flat-out laughed. "Is that all you really have to fall back on?"

He pointed to Jellal. "You know how there's a hole in that? Because of this guy, right here. There's only one being whose powers were too great and had to be matched, and that was Phantom Blaster Overlord, the Dragon of Hell. You know who gave him that power? The Rift."

He crossed his arms. "And if you have them now, that only leaves me with one thing to think, Neu. You're working with the Rift, the beings attempting to disrupt Cray's balance."

[Grimm]

Noah: Pardon me, but I overheard you three talking about something along the lines of "lost clans." This intrigues me, so would you be so kind as to enlighten me on this subject?

Noah smiles warmly, as his true intentions are impossible to see through his charming persona.

[Kisaragi Zane]

Jellal stepped forth.

"I just have one question for you." he said to Neu.

"What do you mean 'so that they won't cause problems on Earth and Cray', explain?" he demanded. He thought back to the lost clans that were being sealed.

"Even before the final battle, Shadow Paladins put aside their differences to work with Royal Paladins to overcome the Dragon of Hell! What trouble could they have possibly caused?" his voice began to rise.

[NeoBuster]

"Fine with me" Neo said to Haruki.

Neo then noticed a group of people talking and yelling. He noticed Neu there with Satoshi and 2 other strangers.

Neo then walked toward the group to listen in.

[Kuro]

As his friend looked off into another direction of the park, Haruki noticed that Neo was looking towards another group. As Neo walked in that direction, the young man of justice went to see the others as well. Among these people, Haruki recognized their friend Neu, as well as Noah from Shop Handsome. From what he'd heard going over, it sounded like more talk about the missing clans. It seemed interesting enough, so he walked over with curiosity as to what they were discussing.

[Hope]

She facepalmed. "Never heard of the Rift being multiple beings or being a physical being, I mean if you're talking about a hole there are two holes here count-em two and neither of them are probably the one you're even talking about! Actually, wait, there are many holes here if you count the butt but let's say you didn't." She lifted her right hand up along with two fingers, her index and middle finger, to fingers. Count-em, two.

She put her hands on her hips, standing tall with a big confident grin. "The first hole is the one that isn't the one on my bu-" She paused for a moment and thought about what she was about to say. "W-wait... don't think.. of that...." She swayed her hands and covered her face.

"I... must move forward past this shame...for MY MISSION!"

"The second hole is the rift itself, yup, its not a being, but a space, even a power. Honestly I don't even care what the heck it wants and yo man, I don't even thinks it has goals at the moment past gathering food. Think of it as like a baby, but you know it gives me the ability to do all this stuff for people." She snaps her fingers and a small dimensional rift appears, they're unable to see it, but they could feel a bit of its strength.

And then she backtracks on Satoshi said.

"...attempting to disrupt Cray's balance."

She takes a whole aspirin bottle and overdoses on it because she feels as if her words have just been bouncing off a kids bouncy castle. She took a deep breath, and stayed calm. No, she didn't stay calm, cause Neu isn't calm, she's nonchalant (aka doesn't give a fk). She said the following in a joking tone.

"Hellooo0ooo0o, sir, the whole raisin I sealed clans was to create3eee b a l a nc e on C r a y and E@rthhhhh, I've... been saying this all alonGGGGG I. think."

"Man, the whole idea of keeping them gone is so that they don't cause problems on Cray and on Earth." Neu shrugged, "As long as they're in my hands, its completely fine. Their powers are too great to keep around, it'd really cause issues. I kind of need them right now so I can go around and show people a fun time while playing this game and help a few people that I promised I'd help out anyways."

She then turned to Jellal, right his question was actually good, she put away her second aspirin bottle.

"Well I mean yeah the Civil War was resolved and all but who's to say that it won't happen again? You've seen what those clans could do with their power, and they really did rule over the weaker ones. That's what it means to be imbalanced. Vanguard, even Cray would be no fun like that ya know? Now look at them, they've all united together as one..."

[Helios]

On his way home from school, Hazama chose to take the scenic path to home. One because it is scenic, two its a longer route towards home. Strolling through the park, he hears a group of voices coming from another direction. He turns hs head and sees Neu amongst the people, as well as Neo, Haruki, and, Jellal?!

Its has been ages sense I have last seen him. I wonder if he's changed, or if he is still that sorry ol' loner back in the day.

He approaches the group with the small breezes catching his hair.

"Well, well, if it isn't Jellal, Neu, Haruki, and Neo. Haven't seen some people in ages. Jellal, I have a question for you. Why are you hanging out with the pathetic likes of Haruki and Neo? They ask way to many questions you know, and I always thought you would try to avoid people."

[NeoBuster]

Neo walked up to Neu. "Its alright, dont let these people bother you like this" Neo said

Neo pointed to the bench and told Neu to rest up.

You.." Neo pointed to Jellal. "Your Jellal arent you? Ive heard many things about you. What business do you have with Neu?" Neo said
