(GS3) Field: Gotem City : Central Square

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky's smile grew as he saw Tsubasa's arrival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpkeAQG6kQw "Amazing entrance, really flashy, it suits you Tsubasa! The reason I called you here my foe is because you're the only one who can help me get Stern back.... And the way you can do that is by dying for me! I've got quite the proposal for you Tsubasa-chan! Usually i'd say something like let's fight! If you win you get to stop another reversed person, and if I win i prove to Stern how much stronger I've gotten. But  that's not enough is it?! Let's kick this up a notch!" Sky said now pointing to two platforms on the roof. "I've had time to set this up you see. A flashy fight for a flashy guy like you! We'll fight on these surfaces and once you take six damage the corresponding platform will shoot up sending whoever takes said damage flying off this roof and plummeting to their death!"

"CAN'T YOU IMAGINE IT TSUBASA?!!!!!!!!!!!! The passionate fight we'll have when both our lives are on the line?! I'm shaking with excitement just thinking about it! So what do you say Tsubasa.....my FOOOOOOOEEEEE?!" Sky screamed grasping his head. As his reddish black aura began to gush out.

"Yes partner give more into the darkness! Soon Stern will return to you just let it consume you more!"

[OverDrive]

Tsubasa was surprised by Sky's proposition, it definitely was something exhilarating, but it was also something to be careful about apparently Haruto's rope was attached to the device that would fling Tsubasa away should he lose the cardfight, he could not be sure if he could save his brother and himself from such a situation, the stakes were high but in order to save his friend and his brother he needed to indulge this request.

"I don't intend on dying because if I do my brother will as well...I will help you get Stern but first...I will get you out of that power!" he said, as he took his position and took out his deck.

As the two set their units on the red fight tables, thunder began to howl in the skies, it looked to be quite an eventful evening, but for the two of them it, involved life and death.

"....No one dies today...Stand Up! Vanguard!" he shouted, as the two stood their units.

Keeping his eyes on the road while steadying himself and Hope on the oblivion. As he answered Hope's question. "I was afraid of losing people. Most of my life every time I made a connection with someone they disappear from my life. When it happened again I just decided to close off my heart."

[Hope]

"I see."

The motor was calming no. At least the noises kept her awake and thinking, not that she was falling asleep, but it was just the good kind of noise now. The kind that accompanied her thoughts. The motor and turning rubber colliding with the loose gravel on the road had a steady rhythm with the occasional variation when the gas pedal would be stepped on. Hana wasn't really good with words of reassurance, but she decided to give it a try.

"It's fine now, the people who you know now aren't going to disappear easily. We blew up a whole shopping district and they're still alive for the most part." She laughed.

[Spectre Diamond]

"hm..I guess. Now why I called you here, aside from the cardfight. I was planning to isolate myself from the world. I came to this conclusion after reversing Tsubasa's friend Fei in a cardfight and heard about this Hazama character who fit the description of one of the people I reversed." He had a solemn look on his face as he continued to steady and steer the motorcycle on the bridge. "All the people I reversed and their actions..all my fault. Their sins were my sins, they're actions were my doing. People that I didn't reverse ended up causing mayhem like that Oshiro guy.

He thought back to Oshiro. He remembered him to be somewhat of a pacifist, they were aware of each other but never really interacted until they fought in the forest. Even then no one won as he had discovered his heart problems. "One of my worst moments was abandoning Cosmo Lord when I became reversed."

[Hope]

"Well, it's not like you had much of a choice on how to act since the void clouded your heart and mind. I know how it felt to be reversed. It let me kept my own personality, giving the illusion that I had the freedom to do as I wished, yet I really didn't. It was a complicated lie, and illusion. The invaders are really cruel." Hana sent a quick text to her sister. "By the way let's head over to the Espoir Manor, I'll show you the way." Once again he was like her, "I abandoned Nociel once as well, even saying mean things to her because I was so angry. The best way to make up for it was to just apologize really..."

[Skyzlimitz]

"I.... I lost?!" Sky was shocked he couldn't believe that his new strength had failed to beat Tsubasa. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!! THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!" ETHICS screamed writhing in pain.
"You failed me partner, now not only will Stern never return, but now you're gonna die!" Ethics voice began to fade as Sky gripped his body in pain.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Sky screamed as the black red aura exited his body.
As the reverse left him, the pain subsided, but Sky had no time to even collect his thoughts. The platform released and shot him into the air. Sky's body rose high until gravity kicked in and brought him crashing down, the shock caused him to pass out. So there Sky was falling towards the concrete ground at the base of the Skyscraper. Plummeting towards his death with ever increasing speed.

[OverDrive]

Gancelot Zenith had the strength to push past Ethics Reverse's power, this fight allowed Tsubasa to believe in his strength once again, it allowed him to understand that even as himself he can grow stronger for those he cares about. Unfortunately, the situation was not something to celebrate right away, before Tsubasa could retrieve his brother, Sky's platform setup shot him away causing him to plummet from the skyscraper roof.

"NOOOO!" he shouted, as he jumped from the roof to try and catch Sky, he knew that if he could then he can use his abilities as Diablo and get them to safety.

Unfortunately because Sky had a head start, there was almost no way for Tsubasa to reach him in time, "..Tch, at this rate he'll hit the ground before I reach him...are you just gonna let your partner fall, answer me! Blaukluger!" he shouted.

At that moment something miraculous happened, something Tsubasa would never forget seeing....

[Spectre Diamond]

"Hm. Right. Lead the way." Hikaru was of course not entirely convinced but he had to put some faith in Hana's words. He's baffled over fact that she seems okay with texting while holding onto him while's he driving motorcycle. He got to the side of Hoshiko as he heads to the Espoir mansion as Hana gave him directions.

[Skyzlimitz]

As Sky fastly approached the concrete something unexpected happened; When Sky was sent flying the blaukluger deck he kept in his pocket flew out. The cards scattered all over the place and slowly fell. One of those cards a copy of Merkur Blaukluger landed on the vanguard circle of where Tsubasa and Sky were fighting. At this point the card started to glow and a figure burst out of the card. The figure zoomed down chased after Sky at a great speed catching up to his body grabbing it and flying back up to the top of the Skyscraper. The figure then dropped Sky off at Tsubasa's feet and dissipated. It left these parting words to Tsubasa "When he awakes tell him he's still not ready to wield my final form. Right now he is lost, but when he finds himself he will be ready. Also if I may ask a favor of you he who wields the Zenith. Keep him away from the darkness, for if he falls into it again I don't think he'll ever be able to recover."

[OverDrive]

The figure of light that appeared out of nowhere was something truly spectacular to witness, as it saved Sky, Tsubasa knew that this figure was his blaukluger unit so he immediately used all of his remaining strength to climb the top of the skyscraper before the figure returned, just so he can make sure Haruto was ok. When the figure returned it dropped Sky in front of him as Tsubasa stared at the shining figure.

Upon hearing it's message Tsubasa responded, "..I will do what I can, he'll get your message, and don't worry darkness won't grab him so long as I am around."

With that the figure vanished back into the cards that were scattered on the roof of the skyscraper, which Tsubasa picked up and brought back as his full 50 card deck. His next objective was untying Haruto, which he did, as the young boy awoke after some tapping and calling, Tsubasa immediately gave his brother a hug.

"..I'm glad you're safe Haruto..." he said, his eyes tearing up from the situation.
"..It's ok Aniki, I knew you would come and save me..." he said, as smiled back, his face filled with tears as well.

"..I'll make it up to you Haruto, I promise." he said, and with that he carried Sky on his shoulder and took Haruto's hand as they exited the skyscraper and made their way to the hospital back in Hoshiku.

[Jello]

Took us long enough. Why are we here again anyways?

Exploring the district? I don't know. Why do you insist on us only wearing sweatpants and T-Shirts?

Cause they're comfortable.

I find jeans comfortable.

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.

Haruka winced a bit at that comment, allowing a frown to follow as he traveled through the unexplored area of Gotem City. He and Sera had been inside his home all evening and a majority of the morning. They spent a majority of the night watching movies, trying to bond a bit. That was extremely difficult because despite sharing some acute likes, they had a vastly higher dislike count.

With an exaggerated yawn, Haruka set out into the city. There wasn't really much to do in terms of entertainment, but a few of the shops around the area seemed to be open in the square. Even Sera agreed that'd be the best place to look for now in search of a way to kill of this boredom. Where to first is the question....

[Hope]

Neu stood on a building overlooking Gotem. She felt like a bit of a chunni here as this was similar to the setting of her "MatMan" comics that she enjoyed reading in her free time. She has actually been reading more recently since working as a clerk at Shop Handsome. Over at the distance.

Is it a nerd? Is it a plane? Its-!?

A nerd. A really nerdy nerd in sweatpants. The lover boy. She decided to approach him by jumping off the building and waving hello. "Hello." Neu greeted.

[Jello]

With a spin on his heels, they turned to face Neu.

Sera had a burning hatred for this woman, for whatever reason. Haruka knew this much, but the image of why was extremely blurry. Seems even Sera doesn't know what he holds against this woman grudgewise. Maybe he just really doesn't like her as a general thing? Weird.

Haruka holds on opinions. Not really anyways.

"Yahellooo, Neu. Been a while, eh?" He turned back around for a moment, looking in the window of an antique shop debating buying a little music box in there. It looked really well-made, mahogany and everything. Sadly it was a bit more experience, even in Sera's eyes the value of that box looked rather extreme. He pouted for a moment, then turned to Neu once more with his hands neatly folded behind his head.

"Sup?"

Man, we gotta take turns. It's weird otherwise.

Sorry, sorry. I'll be quiet for now.

[Hope]

"Yeah man I saw your gf get stabbed the other day. It was pretty brutal, but there was no blood which was weird because I swear she loses 50 liters per wound. Haha." What a sense of humor.

She scratched the back of her head and noticed a sticker stuck to her hair. Must be from work.
"Minerva SP: 50$"

Rngesus Christ these prices are getting more and more ridiculous.
Why the hell are we using dollars in Japan?

"So lover boy, how the coffee bizz going? I want you to know I myself got a job, working as a pirate over at Shop Handsome!"
