(GS3) Field: Umano Abandoned Card Shop

"I mean its fun to be heroic and save clans, but the problem was that I couldn't be heroic with the clan I wanted to be heroic with since its the one that I needed to save. It was pretty sad actually." She shrugged at the thought.

Well, it really was. A year ago, Isabella was basically a depressed mess. Though, it might actually still be the same now. Thinking about it, she just has someone supporting her and keeping her from falling now, but that's the point. Plus, idols aren't supposed to be super duper sad, they have to make everyone happy. Now if only the rest of the Bermuda Triangle other than Reit actually talked to her, that would be nice. Broken record Reit, always a pleasure to speak to.... ehhh not really.

"Well, even if a hero can't be at their best, they still have to do what they can. That's what you did, wasn't it? That already says a lot." Since Darren read a lot of comics, he looked up to the heroes in them. He knew different kinds as well and he did want to be one. He moved his hand out lightly and said, "And if anything like that happens again, you have me to support you. A lot of other friends too. After all, that is what heroes like the Dimension Police do, isn't it?"

[Hope]

"The real heroes are the one who don't proclaim themselves as heroes, but just go along and do what's necessary I think." So she spouts some random line.

This idea was brought to you by Yukino. I'm the Chosen Sword, the hero! Then neglects her little sister in the process which in turn breaks about multiple bonds. Why isn't Yukino's avatar Gancelot again... MMMM SOLITARY? Need another day of bonding where she decides to leave the stoic and wannabe tough kind of expression to just be an actual family member... boy... In my dreams.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren thought about what she said for a moment, then chuckled a little and said, "I guess you've got a point there. Heroes don't really call themselves that. They just do the right thing." The idea of it made him feel like he had a lot to learn still. "Still, I mean what I said. If anything comes up, I'll help you out as much as I can." He gave her a reassuring smile to let her know he really did mean what he was saying.

Prepping for the camping trip tomorrow still had to be done. Haruka-kun was spending the night with Yukino tonight instead of her and that kind of pulled a little Isabella's heart. The thought of it made her feel kind of uncanny, maybe it was a little of the leech called of jealousy getting into her mind. She shook her head as she stood up from the table, wanting to go to sleep as a way to escape the strange feeling. When she stood up, gravity felt as if it doubled, and her head began to feel a little light.

Miyuki and Haruka-kun are really turning me into a mess...
Guh, love sucks.

She still stood tall nonetheless and turned over to Darren, "You still have to prepare for the trip tomorrow don't you? I kind of need some rest... and a bath. This place smelled really bad when I got here, took so many cans of air freshener! Phew!!"

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren stood up after her and couldn't help but laugh a little at her comment. Imagining what it must have been like before he arrived was something he didn't want to do but what she said made it difficult not to picture. "Right, the trip is tomorrow," he said as he stretched his body out a bit. He hadn't even noticed that they had been talking for quite some time.

He looked at her as a thought crossed his mind. "Will you be okay getting home like this? I guess you can just have someone drive you so it might be a dumb question, but it never hurts to be sure." He was definitely one who was concerned for his friends, not willing to just leave if there was a chance she might have to walk home from here.

[Hope]

"Yeah I'll be fine, I mean this building used to be a gang base until I beat them all up and had them arrested." she wasn't lying. "Since this place is a long walk from home, I should probably.get someone to drive me." Isabella turned over to him and thought up the same question.

"How about you? Need a lift?"

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren looked at her with shock at her words. She was able to do something like that? I guess you can't judge a book by its cover, he thought. Upon her offer, he thought about how far his home actually was from here. Thinking about it, he didn't actually know. The fumigating of his apartment should be done by now but getting there from here would be... a challenge.

"It would help me out if its not out of your way," he said to her. "Its an apartment building in the Residential Area. If its out of your way I can figure out a way there." The fact that he said figure out told the truth that he really didn't know where he was going.

[Hope]

"Well I guess I'll just call two drivers." There was Mr. Tokyo Drift, who would get both of them in their respective homes in no time, but that would put lives at risk so she opted for two drivers that she trusted drove safely, but quickly.

She pressed a button on her phone.

Two cars arrived in no time and Isabella walked towards one of them saying her destination to the driver through his opened window,  "Kiokuzu Town Penthouee please." Then she turned back to Darobo.

"Thanks for keeping me company for tonight. Just tell the other driver where you're headed and he'll get you there. Sorry for having to have us part here, but see ya tomorrow!" She winked and did some weeaboo standard idol pose with a peace sign except she wasn't exactly a weeb becauses he really is japanese. She sat in the car and it drifted off as she gave Darobo a goodbye wave. 

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren wouldn't have asked her to go as far as to call a second driver just for his sake but the speed at which she did it told her that she didn't have a choice in the matter. He gave a small laugh at the situation, smiling at her pose. Suddenly the 'idol' thing she mentioned came to his head. Must be a habit, though it wasn't a bad one.

"Yeah, I'll see ya tomorrow!" He called out as he waved her off. He stepped into the car as he felt a bit strange being in something like this. He wasn't used to it at all. "Uh... What was it called... This address..." he said as he handed the driver the slip of paper that had his home address on it. He hadn't really memorized it so he couldn't exactly say it, but as soon as it was given, he was off.

Isabella AF+2

[NeoBuster]

Neo had kept to himself since the festival. He didnt want people to know about the power he had obtained.

"I feel so much stronger.." Neo said to himself

He made his way to the Abandoned Card Shop and saw a few fighters lurking around. He walked up to them and asked them "Are You Strong?"

Neo challeged them to a cardfight with a Vanguard field appearing before himself and the fighters.

"Accept this strength!" Neo said after defeating each of the fighters.

It was clear Neo wasnt himself anymore. He now had full control of his new power.

"This power.. Its amazing" He said

[Hope]

The seven foot tall man ran across the slums, bringing a shaking ground along with him. He had been fighting through and against many of his friends and acquaintances throughout the day, but he wasn't tired just yet. His heavy muscular build enabled him to keep on through many of the fights. It was not big deal to him. His stamina was near infinite, but his skills as a fighter were lacking, having only ever had experience fighting with other slum mates, he was weak when it came to game itself.

"I CAN FIGHT FOREVER.. BUT ALL THESE GAMES ARE SO CLOSE.. HOW FAR CAN I GO?" He fought a few more, nearly losing to them, but his heart kept him moving. He was a human fortress.

He sound found himself within an abandoned shop, taking shelter once again. On the corner of his eye he spotted a fighter, who's scent was stronger than the others. Not only that, but his strength was apparent. The level in which he was would most likely be Daisuke's end. The gap between the fighter who has gone past the slums and all over the world, and a man who was raised within the confines of his own home, never having left was what this situation boiled down to.

Nonetheless, he was a threat to Umano, Daisuke's home, so with heavy fear in his heart, he approached him. The seven food frame shook a little, stepping towards a battle that he knew he was likely to lose. "HE IS A THREAT, I MUST STOP HIM AND SAVE UMANO.. THEN I HAVE TO ALERT HIKARU OF THIS!!" He ran towards him and called him out.

"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP HURTING OTHERS AT ONCE OR I SHALL END YOU MYSELF."

[NeoBuster]

Neo noticed a stranger who was very tall approach him. Neo noticed the stranger yelling at Neo to stop what he was doing. Neo then turned around and replied "If you want to get in my way, then so be it"

The marks of reverse appeared under Neo's eyes and he made a Vanguard board appear in front of him and the stranger.

"Lets just see how strong you really are then. Shall we?" Neo said to the stranger.

[Hope]

It was strange to see a man of his physique tremble due to a man who was pretty much half his size, but he did. When it came to these fights, he didn't have nearly as much experience as the one who stood before him now and he was able to tell. As the platform appeared before him, he found that there was no way out now.

"JUST LIKE IN A NORMAL FIGHT, EVEN AS THE UNDERDOG I'LL JUST FIND THE OPENING FOR THE LUCKY SHOT.."

He placed his deck onto the panel, and placed his starter down, looking at his opponent and declaring his victory with confidence. This was a bluff, all part of the list of tricks that the slum dwellers would use to find an opening within their opponent's fighting styles.

"I'LL WIN THIS NO PROBLEM! I'M STRONGER THAN EVERYONE HERE. I SHALL DEFEND MY HOME, I SHALL DEFEND UMANO FROM THE SCUM THAT INVADES IT NOW. YOU ARE ONE OF THEM, THUS YOU ARE MY ENEMY AND I WILL CRUSH YOU UNDER MY FEET UNTIL YOU TAP OUT IN TEARS AND UTTER MY NAME. DAISUKE OSHIRO!"

[NeoBuster]

Saber Reverse with the help of a double critical trigger put the finishing blow on the stranger Neo was fighting.

"Fall to the Reverse, accept the power you have been given" Neo said..

Neo then walked off while the stranger continued to be in pain within the dark aura.
