(GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area

[Lance Korilum]

  A rather bored Cero returned to the Training Facility...  He hadn't found anyone capable of forcing him to bring forth the power he had to release, which was extremely disappointing.  As Cero entered the doors, he received a text.  Looking at his phone, it was Hana telling him to meet her on the 11th floor.  Sighing, though knowing he had nothing better to do, he complied, taking the elevator to the eleventh floor.  Walking into the Laboratory, he stared blankly, and asked, "What is it?"

[NeoBuster]

Having been in the hospital for about a week, Neo was just about ready to get discharged. Just then he received a text from Hana saying to come to the Training Building.

Neo responded: I will be there as soon as I can.

Neo was able to walk, but was still not 100% but he used all the energy he had to make his way to the Training Center. Once there he took the elevator to the 11th floor and found Room 111 and walked inside.

"Hey Hana, I got your text. Sorry it took awhile to get here im still not 100%. What did you need help with?" Neo asked

[OverDrive]

It may have seemed like a short time, but in reality it was more of a short trip in Tsubasa's case, having body augmentation really does speed up the time it takes to arrive somewhere with Diablo's speed. Nevertheless he still had to make a point to go back at some point to deal with his business.

Upon arrival to the Cardfight Training Area, based on Hana's directions, he entered and was told to go to the 11th floor to meet her. Upon arrival he did come into contact with a few other familiar faces Cero and Neo, he simply waved to Cero as a simple gesture but placed his hand on Neo's shoulder like a friendly greeting.

"Glad you got discharged early enough Neo." he said, smiling. "Good to see you too Hana."

Turning his attention to Hana, he took out the card and showed it to her, "Here it is, what's this about though?" he asked.

[Hope]

They made it in good time. Good. Good.

"Thanks for bringing the card." Hana bowed, and took the magical piece of cardboard. She showed it to Cero and Neo. "This card look familiar?" The Princess asked with a grin before turning over to a Scientist and handing the card over. The scientist then was given the task of placing it into a chamber to be scanned and analyzed.

"Right, not only is the card back, but the unit itself is alive and well around Cray. Though, it would only seemingly take action if Neu does though, so its not much of a threat. Other Link Joker units returning would be troublesome though, since taking them on once is already trouble enough." She looked at the screen. It flashed with numbers once more, comparing data from Schwarzschild Dragon to Luquier Reverse, Reverse Daiyusha, and Ramiel Reverse.

What was being compared was the "source energy" (the energy from the host or seed/ "the seed energy")

Matching:
- Luquier
- Daiyusha
- Ramiel
- Freeze Ray Dragon (Hana was able to extract some of Hikaru's remaining reverse energy while holding on to him on the way back)

Does not Match:
-Schwarzschild Dragon

"Well, do you guys know what this could mean?" She asked them like a school teacher. This would be a good time to have costumes ready.

[Lance Korilum]

  Of course it was that card.  The Link Joker unit that had been at fault for the death of Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion.  Just seeing it made Cero's blood boil with rage, almost sending him into a berserk state that could've destroyed the facility in its entirety.  Barely controlling himself, Cero continued to listen.  Apparently it had a different energy than the rest of the Link Joker units?  She asked them what it could mean, and only one thing really came to Cero's mind.  "They must have different central sources of power, right?"

[OverDrive]

Unlike the reactions given to Schwarzchild by the others, Tsubasa's reaction was rather pleasant, he was glad to know that Neu's unit was not involved in this mess. Nevertheless the info was interesting to say the least, knowing that Schwarzchild's energy source was different from the energy source of the reversers made it confusing as it means that the reversers would have something else about them.

"...Hmmm with a different energy source this means that these Link Jokers are a bit different from the Schwarzchild from a year ago...odd..there is a lot of vagueness about this though..." he said,as he began to think about the situation.

[Hope]

"Right." They got it.

A Scientist handed Tsubasa the card back.

"Up until now there's only really been one source of energy, one seed, and that's Sera and Haruka." She thought to herself for a moment. It was all jumbled in her mind as well, a whole big and strange mystery. First off, she decided by explaining the danger of this new finding to them and it's significance.

"This one seed has given us so many problems, nearly an apocalypse or... causing one I guess. With the possibility of a different energy source then... that's a problem."

Secondly, the real enemy. This was something that Hana found out while she was reversed, something that lined up with everything they've been facing to this point.

"The Rift. Cero, you saw it's power... Stride right? I suppose you also know the basics of how it works and so I'll ask this. Do you think that it could bring other seeds to this world?"

[Lance Korilum]

  "Other seeds?  Well, it managed to bring one.  If Neu's ability is anything to go by, there's no doubt about it.  She was capable of bringing forth multiple Strides, and if the same concept is used to summon Seeds...  Well, let's just say this is going to get much more interesting very soon," Cero said, with a facial expression that was some weird combination of happiness, excitement, and pure rage.  What other seeds could there possibly be and how powerful were they?  Could Cero absorb one and go beyond his current level of power?  Was there a seed based on him?  Cero shook his head at these thoughts.  Questions for later.  For now...  "So, is there a way we can stop something that doesn't even really exist?"

[OverDrive]

"Neu's power is extraordinary,  the power to summon multiple strides could follow the same concept of summoning more seeds but....if this really is the case...then we're in danger...one seed did all the damage we've been through as of yet, if we get more then we may be dealing with something out of control." he said, his expression more serious than usual.

After all he'd seen it was something beyond worrying to have more of these 'seeds' invade their world.

"If this theory is correct...what can we do to protect this place?" he asked.

[Hope]

"Well we have to find where the Rift is getting them..." She tapped her fingers one the screen. "If we could get to the source and stop the source then we would be able to keep harm from reaching us here. There would still be a battle to be fought, but at least we aren't going to lose another Shopping District."

She spun around on the lab chair just for the sake of spinning around on the lab chair. It didn't hurt to do these random and entertaining things every now and again. The area in which Tsubasa and Neu were in yesterday popped up on the screen. Gotem City, the place where an energy aside from that of the void is currently present.

"Teee elll deee arrrr (Tl;dr). We are Vanguard fighters, so the solution is. We fight."

[NeoBuster]

Neo wasnt really paying full attention to what was being said. He was still thinking about everything he did while being reversed. He tried to put that at the back of his mind for now and focused at the task at hand.

Rift.. Stride.. Not really sure how any of this would work but it sounds like our best bet" Neo said not really sure of himself.

Neo wanted to do his best to help stop the other seeds, he just didnt know how he could be of any help at this very moment.

[Jello]

Haruka made a very, very delayed entrance. Due to some events he couldn't exactly deal with all at once, but he was here now nonetheless. Sera was less than excited to join everyone for this gathering, but at the very least Haruka had some words. Though something about Schwarzchild Dragon came up... What?

Neither Haruka nor Sera really had full knowledge of Hana was asking, so at least showing up and getting some or giving some answers could help.

"Yahellooo!" Haruka walked in through the automatic front door, hands in pockets as always. He finally changed out of his nerdy sweatpants and evolved into jeans and combat boots, with a green military jacket and dog tags to match. They had nothing on them though, they were just accessories.

[Lance Korilum]

  After hearing the solution, Cero's response was a smirk.  "For the sake of these other seeds, I hope they can put up as much of a fight as the one we have now," Cero replied as he turned to the elevator.  "It'd be rude to keep them waiting," he continued as he walked off to retrieve a vehicle to reach Gotem City. 

  But then the Seed just had to walk in.  Cero's smirk switched instantly to a glare at the uninvited guest.  He was rather tempted to punch the man in the face with lightning, but chose to refrain from it.  For now, at least.  Turning his back to the man, Cero pursued another exit leading to his garage.

[OverDrive]

Haruka's entrance did seem to cause some tension but at the very least it was understandable, regardless of how much Tsubasa hated to be like this or see people treat his friend this way. On the other hand Neo was also seeming kinda down or lost in thought, easy to see since Tsubasa is almost always in thought.

It's nor much but he felt like saying it, "I'm glad you're on our side those invaders won't know what's gonna hit em." he said smiling.

"Location aside how do we even find or engage these seeds, I've been to Gotem and I searched most of the area there was nothing too unusual." he thought, turning his gaze back to Hana.

In terms of unusual there was the madman but this is different, as far as Tsubasa was concerned the likelihood of him being a seed was low.

[Hope]

That weird get-up.

It fits what they're about to do. It was more of experiment, so a lab jacket would've worked better... maybe Hana should wear one. Well, if her power reacts to the rift the way that she thinks it does then combat boots and dog tag will definitely work. Either way, Sera's and Haruka's input was needed. "We ended up coming up with this idea that seeds come from somewhere else, so we're going to check out the possible source. I guess if you have things to say, you can say when we get there, you are late after all!" She cheerfully gave him a high five whether his hand was up for it or not, she didn't know. She might have hit his face or shoulder or something.

"Alright faceless scientist-sans, I'll leave the rest of the data to you guys!" She gestured the crew to follow after her. They were heading to Gotem City.

Does the Cray Council know of this? Best to keep this little idea under wraps for a bit. Her little bunshin brigade were the only ones on Cray that knew, but even so, they didn't understand the full details.
