(GS3) EVENT FIELD: The First Dimension

[Spectre Diamond]

"Some Hero..." Offhandedly stated by the underground king as he waited on his seat as the passengers got out of the train screaming in panic. He decided to look over his deck for any additional changes.

"They're approaching fast." The tall one stated as he received a call from one of the scouts who spotted fighters coming to the quarters. Turning to the other two. He motioned them to get ready.

[Lance Korilum]

  When Cero saw the reactions of the people that had joined them on the train, his suspicions grew.  Especially when he saw them getting forced off at the last stop before the Captain's Quarters.  What kind of "hero" would do something this terrible?  When they finally reached their destination, it was like a scene from his homeland hundreds of years ago, except totally empty.  As they approached, three people began approaching them.  Probably people who were Reversed, which basically confirmed Cero's suspicions. 

  "I don't think this 'Captain' is the hero they tried to lead us to believe," Cero said as he stepped towards the three figures.  He wouldn't let this so-called hero get away with this deceit.  As he approached, Cero flared up his aura in an attempt to scare away the fools that dared get in his way.

Now that the three had stepped up to take the challenge of the three Reverse fighters, it was time to clear their path so that they may hopefully face the seed and not only save this dimension but save their own world. Tsubasa was first, racing off against the Neo Nectar clan, the same clan he almost lost to when he faced KOGA at PSY Shop a long while ago, except this time was different. Tsubasa stared his opponent down with an intent to end this madness, it was as if Diablo was standing there but this time without the mask, of course no one would realize this except for Tsubasa.

"...I'm not taking any chances...this won't take very long." he said, as he set his starting vanguard.

He was right, he opted to ride into Zenith instead of regular Gancelot and finished his opponent off before he even got the chance to breakride into his reversed unit.

"...We won't lose here..." he said, as the final damage was dealt, and the reverse left the opposing fighter.

[Spectre Diamond]

The three reverse fighters fell on their knees one by one as the reverse engulfs their being. Purged from the powers of the void as their masks shatter once the process was finished. The hoods of their cloaks were blown away from the force of the card fights they were in but the masks fully covered their entire head. Hikaru eyes widened in shock as he looks at their faces one by one. Each of they're faces had at least two or more scars but that was'nt what surprised him it's who they were that did the job.

"..They...they couldn't be.." Those three weren't just some random mooks. No they were far from it they were the Elements of the underground. Hikaru's personal generals. The element trio just stared at Hikaru trying to comprehend on what they're seeing here. Despite his changed appearance they can just tell that it was their former king by the way his eyes move and the pressure they can feel from his aura. But they didn't want to believe at what their seeing right now.

"King..where have you been..You've been gone for ten years." Tomoda smiled while still in a lot of pain from the reverse being purged from his body and having it in him for so long. Hikaru's face darken from the current state of his counterpart's status. He's been gone for 10 years. He can't give them false hope, he can't tell them that their king as come home.

"I'm not this "King" you speak of." He had to be careful with saying his name just in case he has a different name in this dimension. His voice was filled with nonchalant as he stood as the trio didn't looked convinced. Kaori then looked at him in the eye.

"Don't play games with us! Your Hikaru aren't you?" Her eyes were filled with sadness and hope at the thought of their king finally returning after many years. They may of lost Aoi in the war but like hell their going to lose their king again. "I'm not Hikaru, my name is Azuma Isshana."

"I won't give them false hope, I won't give them false hope. I won't give them false hope, I won't give them false hope." As he echos the mantra frantically in his mind. He then boarded the train along with the others as they headed to the captain's quarters.

[Hope]

Eventually they found themselves inside the main building, heading up to the Captain's room as an invitation. It was a long elevator ride up.

After they had disposed of the reversed in the area, many came out of hiding, speaking of things that The Captain did for them before, how she was victorious during the Great Invasion War and helped design all the modern systems being used in the world of Vanguard today. Everyone relied on The Captain for protection, and the Captain always delivered, treating all fighters as if they were her pupils and children, protecting them from harm and teaching them of her ways. It was now only during this second wave of an invasion that The Captain had seemingly shut themselves out and disappeared from the world, only giving out orders and protocols to avoid the invasion. It came as a surprise to everyone when the Captain had sent and invite for a group of strangers to come see her personally.

A lot of things in general was just off.

"Something definitely seems off, but that means we are headed in the right direction then..?" Hana asked to the group as the elevator moved up. Light would pass through, and then darkness. The main building was dead, lights were all turned off and things were just barley operational. Apparently, only the Captain had inhabited it since the second wave of the invasion began and had not allowed anyone else to enter since.

[Lance Korilum]

  Once the three Reverse fighters were dealt with, they headed off to the main building to answer the Captain's invitation.  A rather alrge number of people came out of hiding, informing them of the way the Captain had been before all of this.  Apparently this was the second wave of invaders, and based on what they had said, Cero's beliefs were even more confirmed.  She may have been the hero during the first war, but she could've been possessed by the Seed during this second set. 

  "We have to be.  There's no way we'd get this type of reactions if we weren't," Cero said as the elevator continued to ascend.  You'd think someone who created so much technology would have a faster elevator than this, but apparently not.  Though this could be caused by the distinct abandonment the entire place felt.  The elevator was likely not in very good condition.  If Cero wanted to, he probably could accelerate the elevator to a more reasonable speed but decided against it.  For now.

[Spectre Diamond]

"All the signs that we've seen so far has all pointed to the Hero being the seed of this dimension. I'm quite surprised that people haven't figured it out before."As he leaned on the elevator.

[OverDrive]

Information about the 'Captain' was rather valuable, the group learned about how the War went and how the Captain sealed or secluded themselves during the second wave of the war. It would have made sense all in all for the Captain to be consumed or infected during the second wave of attacks but.....it was unclear how it happened and this greatly bothered Tsubasa, the elevator ride was a chance for them to discuss the situation.

"....We definitely are moving in the right direction...but...." he said, he crossed his arms and leaned at the elevator corner.

"....Something does not feel right about this....." he said, he did not want to assume the simple conclusion right away until he had more proof.

[Hope]

The elevator stopped, opening up to the Captain's office.

"Taking me away along with the seed to another dimension and saving everyone?..." A woman's voice spoke from the darkness.

The office was dark, but design in and old medieval style, donning shielding and swords across the walls with mirrors and tables of wood, gilded with golden trim. The only light came from the stars in the sky as well as the moon, a whole wall of the room being composed of windows. The main desk had a large office chair behind it, that's where the voice came from.

A twisting portal of light dimly shone near it, as well as the silhouette of the woman behind the desk, the Captain.

"By sending myself away elsewhere... I can save all of my children?..."

[Lance Korilum]

  The elevator door opened...  And the timing was rather perfect.  Just as they arrived, the Captain seemed to be making a deal with the Rift.  "And destroy someone else's in the process!"  Cero shouted as soon as he heard what was happening.  "You'll just be a tool used for destroying a world just like this one.  Is that really any different?"  Cero walked out of the elevator, his aura pulsing in rage.  This 'Captain' had no care for anyone else, did she?  That was Cero's impression, at least.  "If you're OK with doing that, you'll have to go through me first!"  Cero was less interested in actually stopping her and more interested in testing the power of this universe's seed, and threw his challenge at the Captain without even knowing her identity.

[OverDrive]

As the elevator door opened the group overheard the statements made by the Captain,  they were rather vague but the message was clear enough to be understood. Cero immediately stood out of the elevator and challenged both the idea that the Captain was posing and the Captain himself. Aggressive as always.

Stepping next to Cero Tsubasa simply uttered the following words, "I'm afraid these plans of yours won't be fulfilled, not as long as we stand against them." he said, crossing his arms and standing next to Cero.

[Hope]

A panel appeared before the challenger, the Captain turning around, her desk lighting up. Her face was still covered by the darkness, making her identity difficult to figure out.

"Go through who?... I only invited the look apparent look alike of the one whom I killed. What a bother. Neu set me up didn't she? There's just more of you now. Just more to rid of... out of the way."


"She's the one who killed me?... Huh?" The Princess nearly face palmed at the challenge. It was like Cero to go in blindly, but against a person like this? It would be better to work together, but it's not like she could stop him anyways. Well other people might, but she wasn't particularly one to interfere in this kind of thing.

"Good Luck.." Was all she said.

[Hope]

A strike of thunder broke through the glass, as Cecelia and Dragonic Descendant battled outside. The glass windows of the buildings slowly shattered, as flashes of lightning shown upon the features of the Captain. Eyes of guilt, a deep remorse, and loss as a fallen hero. Her green hair extended through her back, and she wore a black gown, dressed in a lolita-style outfit. Her bangs were side-swept, but long and she had a beautiful face.

F CHOPPER KOGA, a former worker at PSY shop and now this world's savior.

Despite the strikes of thunder wearing down her rearguard, the Captain was easily able to replenish them with her Vanguard, Cecelia. Eventually pushed to the endgame, the Captain released her true power.

Why she was given the title of Captain.

Her ace unit, White Lily Musketeer Captain, Cecelia replenished her lost rearguards and replaced ones that she didn't necessarily need. The arrival and power of the unit caused the windows to shatter entirely as the room began to light up along with the rest of the area.

"Out of the way you dumb loser!" She shouted as the energy of the void gathered behind her and surrounded her.

[Lance Korilum]

  There it was....  The power Cero had been after for so long, right in front of him.  Stride.  Seeing someone like this, someone reduced to nothing but a puppet of the Rift being able to call forth her own future...  It disgusted Cero.  It enraged him in a way he hadn't been enraged before.  He fought with double, no, triple the force he had been fighting with before in the face of the power he had yearned for so.  The storm began to grow fiercer, damaging the structure itself. 

  "I'm...  GOING TO WIPE YOU OUT...!"  Cero roared with all his might, ready to face the challenge of Stride head on....  But it wasn't enough.  He had lost.  To Stride.  Again.  Just like a year ago....  But this was different.  This defeat made Cero feel helpless...  He fell to his knees, despairing at how...  Easily....  he had seemed to be defeated....  Staring at the ground, he became oblivious to the world around him.

[Hope]

Stride? Her power, a dimension where KOGA, they youngest among the workers was the hero of the war? Watching Cero fall, was discouraging wholly. She ran up beside him and called out to her.

"KOGA!" The Princess cried out, "What's going o-"
"Why the hell do you look like that loser?!" The Captain interrupted."The one who accused my sister TOMO of being a villain! No way! Why are you back?" She shivered, her voice was breaking, "Returned to haunt me like the invaders are?!.. Hahaha.. I took you all down once.. I can do it again. But why?! Why am I the host now?" She clutched her head tightly, shaking a little as the void energy moved with her.
