(GS3) Field: Regional Hall

[Hope]

"No reason for me to reject, that's why I came here anyways haha." Neu snapped her fingers and the lights of the regional hall turned on and a set of fight tables unfolded.

"Fight now, ask questions later, let's go!" She pointed at him with a deck in hand.

[NeoBuster]

"Bring it on" Neo said

[NeoBuster]

The cardfight ended and the 6th damage fell. Neo had once again lost to Neu who once again used Kagero. But when the cardfight was over, the questions Neo once had turned into answers.

"I now know" Neo said

Neo realized that Vermillion and Armor Break Dragon was not enough. He needed another strong power in order to save the clans of Cray and return them home. Neo had talked to as many people as he could, had as many cardfights as he could and no matter how tired he was, he was going to keep on fighting. For the clans of Cray and his parents. Neo then thought about everything Haruka told him today, as well as finding out infomation from Yukino and Satoshi. He knew what he had to do, now he just had to do it. To save everyone and to bring everyones happiness back.

"Neu thanks again for the cardfight, I now know what I have to do" Neo said

"But before I do, I have a question: Do you know what "The Rift" is?" Neo asked

[Hope]

"Huh interesting question," Neu thought to herself.

She pointed at him with her right pinkie. "Ha, you should ask yourself," she gave out a light smile, "You made a deal with it yourself." Neu remembers it, that she is willing to use the Rift's power to bring him his parents back, that is, as long as he just stays the way he is, never wavering from his path and just having fun with his fights. As long as that was so, Neu wished to help him no matter what.

"It's a power beyond space and time, a place, but also a force all on its own. It's really a mystery, but its power is really helpful you know?"

[NeoBuster]

"The reason I asked is because, I was starting to think that the rift had something to do with the clans going missing" Neo replied

Neo wasnt sure if he should have believed Neu's answer but to be quite honest how many people actually know in full details anything about the rift.

"Thanks again for helping me out, I had alot of fun in our cardfight" Neo said with a smile.

[Hope]

"The rift does have something to do with this," Neu pasued. She started to make her way out the Regional Hall. "What an interesting conversation, though I don't think he fully understands so I may as well tell him.." she thought to herself.

"Well sealing clans is no biggie, I mean the rift could do it for sure, but I can do it with my own hands as well." Neu let out a small giggle, looking at him. "Right now, there's nothing that I actually want to seal up and really, I don't think I have the power at the moment anyways." She shrugged.

"Anyways yeah, that fight was a lot of fun, heh." She waved at him, "just keep this a secret between us though anyways."

[NeoBuster]

"It..... It cant be....." Neo said with shock

"Your the one who sealed all the clans away?! But why?! Do you know how much sadness you have caused to everyone?!" Neo said showing signs of anger.

"How could you?... Then you expect me not to tell anyone?" Neo said taking a step toward the exit

[Hope]

Oh this again.

"Everyone? Weren't you happy up until the point someone told you? Jeez, barley anyone even knows about the clans. When you say, what "everyone," you mean like a handful of people? So what, "everyone," as in the rest of the world is happy now, the world is at peace, the little scuffle between Royal Paladin and Shadow Paladin on Cray was resolved when I sealed them away. People are living their lives not even remembering the missing clans. It can't cause them misery if they don't even know about it at all."

She walked behind him and yawned, stretching her arms up.

"Getting the clans back is like sacrificing the world's happiness for the sake of a few others as well as your own, so isn't that a little selfish?"

[NeoBuster]

"It is selfish if you think about it.." Neo replied

"But people are still trying to bring back the clans they love" Neo said

Neo started walking toward the exit.

"Ill call if anything comes up, intil then Neu" Neo said

Neo decided to run as fast as he could to the shopping district to tell the others

+1 affinity to Neu

[Hope]

Curse the day that she walked into this place.

Regret filled her heart to see the hall that she had fought through to earn one of her most regretted achievements. A champion and a princess. Neither served her well, they were just burdens. The night sky glittered endlessly, Hana sat outside the gates of the regional hall. She was looking down on her feet, contemplating whether or not she should go home. Plans with her sister have been set, and she didn't feel like force feeding herself another serving of her daily routine. She just wished that she were able to speed up the end of the War of Liberation.

[NeoBuster]

Neo walked from the park to the regional hall. The place where he found out about PSY Shop. Now that he fought Jellal, Neo knew what he was up against, but he wasnt sure if it was for the right reasons. Then Neo saw Hana in the distance and walked up to her

"You look like you need some cheering up" Neo said to Hana

"Why are you here all alone" Neo asked

[Hope]

In the darkness, a figure with white hair stood above her. He didn't look familiar at first, it took awhile to register, especially since they haven't seen each other in awhile.

"Oh... DogeKaiser... I'm fine." She turned her eyes away from him, looking off into the distance. "Actually, you're the one who's looking like the one who's in need of cheering up..." She tried to let out a laugh. "Your hair... why? That's so weird..."

She rested her head on the gate, and looked up at the stars. "Well I'm here alone cause I am alone... right?"

[NeoBuster]

"The white hair is a very long story" Neo said

"I know it seems like we are alone at times when we are sad, but its always good to have a friend around" Neo said to Hana.

And for tonight, im that friend. So tell me whats on your mind?" Neo asked Hana

[Hope]

"I already said what was on my mind to someone who was supposed to be my friend, and it really didn't help. I don't really feel like repeating myself... sorry." She stood up from where she was sitting.

[NeoBuster]

"Oh.." Neo said

"I just got finished cardfighting that Jellal person.." Neo started to say. "And he opened me up to the truth, first thing tomorrow im going to make everyone smile again. No matter what it takes" Neo said

Neo then turned to Hana

"Do you want me to walk you to your house or are you going to be ok?" Neo asked
