Title: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on August 10, 2015, 12:33:16 AM: (http://i.imgur.com/JxlwCzV.png?1)
~~Weakness is a Sin.~~

Field Status
A formerly abandoned construction site purchased by Cero Kirguis.
Recently finished construction and is now operational.
Fighters gather from all over the world here to become stronger.

What is a field?
A field is an area where events between characters or even individual characters may happen. As replies to these posts, characters may chronicle events that transpire between each other which would often be as a result of or due to a Cardfight. Field events are great ways to develop characters as well as character relationships. Field events, for example, could include a Cardfight as part of a rivalry between two individuals. It can be something as simple as a simple outing or meeting that then leads to a game of Vanguard. Or something that would greatly move the plot, a fight between someone of the heroic affinity and someone of the villainous affinity.

Remember, Cray is looking for the best of the best to be a leader. This does not mean that the leader has to be filled with good intentions, its anyone who the cards seem to decide is fit. Heroes can do as much as they can, but without villains pushing the story forward with their schemes, there isn't much to save. So if you are on the villainous side, use these areas to move along with your plots and schemes. You may ask others to come and roleplay with you and anyone can post in these areas, there is no limit other than that of being logical and simply just being respectful to your fellow fighters.

Any character that you interact with during field events may get affinity +1 or -1 with you.
Certain fields may have special events and things happening there in order to start up some action.

Post events that transpire below based on you character's own perspective, and just have fun with it!
Good luck!

Not much is known about this man walking through the construction site said the construction worker. All that is known is that he's big and scary and seems to avoid people looking into his face. Something seem off about him, he all ways talk to his self. As i watch him he look at me with glowing eyes it was as if he look threw me and saw my future. It was at that moment my life flashed before my eyes as the man went berserk and disappeared

Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 02:43:25 AM: Upon the new day's dawn, Yukino decided on something: As of now for the time being, Card Capital was entirely useless to her. There's probably only a handful of good fighters there, and she could count on one hand how many were actually skilled. Wandering about the city's entirety, scoping out everywhere possible, she stumbled across this vacant construction lot. Actually, a memory of father planning on purchasing this land flashed in mind. Though, he wasn't sure on what he was going to do with it. They were rich, she supposed they could just waste money around as they pleased.

Heels clicking, ponytail bobbing about with head turns, Hikari looked for someone to speak with. Maybe a fighter, if she was lucky. But no one would actually be out here if they wanted a fight. Still... snow blue eyes fixated on construction workers on break. Deciding to grace them with the presence of the chosen, she approached them. It was surprisingly easy to make small talk with them, and she noted a couple talking about Vanguard. A game popular enough even amongst middle aged men, huh...

Inquiries of strong people were made. An employee noted a sort of terrifying individual with glowing crimson eyes that seemed to peer into the soul - the future. Now that sounded interesting, and it was so early in the morning - the crack of dawn, when she learned of this. The Royals were a bit anxious and warned her to be careful if she pursues this person. Though, trying to deal with her overwhelming confidence just proved futile, she was going to find this person anyway.

Post by: Lance Korilum on August 10, 2015, 03:03:19 AM: Cero was wandering around the city, trying to find the way from his hotel to the cardshop by walking. He had a map open, but most of it was written in Kanji he didn't understand, leaving him hopelessly lost. Eventually, he came across a seemingly abandoned construction site. It seemed to have the foundations of a skyscraper. An idea dawned upon Cero, one that may bring not just Japan's, but the world's strongest cardfighters to him. Cero looked around for someone that might know whether or not this plot of land was for sale. While he was doing this, he realized the woman who had wounded his pride was here as well. Despite this, Cero chose to stay and learn if he could purchase this land for his new plan.

Post by: Hope on August 10, 2015, 03:26:17 AM: Hana was on her way back to check on her sand castle when she ended up seeing a familiar figure, the sandy cloak, and the "weird guy" kind of feel revived a quick memory from a few days ago. "Azien...?" She wondered to herself.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him, somewhat concerned but more filled with curiosity.

He was silent for a moment, "do you want me to hurt anyone?" he finally spoke.

The air blew and the noises of the hanging metal beams and clashing waves of sand among the construction area overtook it. The cloud sand slowly disappeared and by then, Azien's voice pierced through the sound of the breeze.

"I Superior Ride! Dinochaos!" He retired his two units and had reached Grade 3 while Hana was only at Grade 1.

"I ride Perla! I call Perle... Wendell's skill to return Perle... I call her again, and another one! All their skills to the big sister, Perla-chan!" Hana said excitedly, hoping that this move would turn the difficult game into her favor. The man in the cloak had guarded, it couldn't pass no matter what she would do.

Hana realized that this was turning out to be a difficult performance with both of them pushed to five. Azien had rode Tyrant Deathrex whom was facing off against Hana's avatar, Top Idol, Pacifica.

"This is taking longer than I expected," Azien commented.

"Chillax yo," Flute assured Hana, sensing that she was getting a bit timid due to where the performance was going. "We got this, a successful concert!" Pacifica said as Hana signaled the final attack. "A d-draw trigger, I give the power to Perla-chan!" A card flew into his sixth damage. A heal trigger. "No, he can't possibly guard this one... Go Perla!"

"Do you want me to hurt anyone?" the cloaked figure asked again, this time he was seemingly struggling. The game was over, and instantly right after it, before Hana could react, he had vanished.

The construction zone was now clear. Hana not noticed the rustle and bustle about it, she wondered what that all was about, as she continued on her business.

Post by: Azuki Frappé on August 10, 2015, 03:27:20 AM: What a sunny day, Ighanna thought as she strolled pass a construction site before going to a Fashion Show. She was exceptionally early today as last time there was a lot of fuss from being late so this allows her to have chill time and enjoy a typical relaxing summer day, in London the weather was almost always gloomy with clouds as dark as eye bags on the verge of crying.

The construction site reminded her of when she used to play around in the Buckingham Palace because of how spacious and towering the building looked. Nostalgia trickled down her spine and she thought deep inside, "I want to return home." However due to tightly packed work schedule, she was forced to stay here for at least 4 months before she was free from her shackles.

She saw another beautiful girl, clad in white reflecting off the beautiful summer light standing in front of her staring soulfully into the construction site. She suddenly felt a strong impulse, and noticed she was talking to what appears to be a card. Usual reactions would be to laugh at the girl but for some eerie reason Ighanna felt there was something similar between her and the girl, however she lacked the willpower to approach her about this matter. The feeling was very similar to her dream, her singing in the church, the "Crimson Angel." Not knowing how to proceed to talk about this and thinking that it was just her own mere imagination, Ighanna retreated and proceeded the other way, taking a detour around the Construction Site.

Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 02:10:45 PM: A quiet scowling came from Yukino when Cero's presence was acknowledged. She respected him as a fighter, but as a person, she might just strangle him on the spot. Blaster Blade warned her to at least be civil and not start a mess. Complying, Hikari decided to simply get out of his way by departing from the workers as the european king approached them.

Wait a minute-

Her Hana senses were tingling.

Noticing the sand cloud that had puffed up and blown away from the ferocity of a Vanguard Fight, she rushed over. By the time she got there, however, she noticed the red-eyed terror vanish.

Tch. Yukino began grinding her teeth violently, annoyed that she couldn't fight this "monster" in time. Hana did, so maybe more information could be drawn from her. The pursuit of this person may be as fun as actually fighting him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Hope on August 10, 2015, 02:47:09 PM: Hana scratched her eyes, and yawned. She noticed Yukinee as she was on her way out of the construction site. She waved he hello and let out a little smile. "Hello Yukiinee," she yawned and stretched her arms up. Hana was obviously feeling tired from that fight. It was really strange to her, how he was acting. It was much violent, as if he simply acted on instinct.

"I need to think over some things," Hana said softly, "Um, Yukinee, gomen gomen, I feel tired and need to head over home, I'll text you about it later."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 02:55:15 PM: Dalis yawned, drowsy from the overbearing heat. She walked confidently, acting as if she had a reason to be at such a dusty and barren place, yet she honestly didn't know why she was here. It was just what the cards had told her. She hummed a tune to herself as her boots clicked against the ground, rummaging in her sleeve to pull out her whip, twirling it around her fingers to keep herself occupied.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a slight commotion, two girls talking to each other, one notably younger. Filled with a sudden urge to walk over to them, she followed her gut instinct and walked over, snapping her whip as she came to declare her dramatic entrance.

"Get ready for a needlessly dramatic entrance!" The performer declared, laughing heartily at them. "What's up?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 03:08:28 PM: Yukino couldn't really respond, except with a depressed sigh when Hana left. Missed out on a good fight, missed out on spending the day with the little idol. The paladins tried to cheer her up, the high beasts like Wingal, Pongal, and Toypugal all doing tricks at Akane's command within the space of the Vanguard's mind. A sort of homey environment that looked akin to a study in the Sanctuary's castle. It was just sort of a hang out spot and where they had the best connection with her outside of battlefields in cardfights.

The snow queen giggled a bit, happy that they were looking out for her like this. Finding herself lost in thought while observing the talents of the dogs in her mind, the only action that could wrack away her attention was the declaration of a "needlessly dramatic entrance".

Ponytail flying to the side, Hikari jumped, turning to this new girl. Oh, it was just a girl asking how it was going... The Vanguard let out another sigh, but this was one of relief.

"You almost gave me a heart attack..." was her response, gripping at her chest. Before answering, the whip in hand drew in her attention. Judging by her clothing, this woman was a performer of sorts most likely. ... Though, Yukino wasn't sure how she felt about someone carrying a whip around in public and freely cracking it. Worry and confusion aside, common courtesy was to ask for a name, or give one before carrying on with the conversation.

However, everyone was below Yukino. Therefore, everyone had to give their names to her first. It was just an unwritten law of the queen.

"Who are you...?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 03:26:32 PM: "Huh?" Dalis froze, eyes widened in shock. "You don't know my name? I figured I was a common name round my hometown!" She laughed, retracting her whip and spinning it deftly into her sleeve, bringing out a business card and holding it up for the other girl to see. "Dalis Strophia, more commonly known by my stage name 'Fantasia' at your service!" She declared, bowing with a silly smirk on her face.

She straightened up, adjusting her hair to the side. "I usually go around to where the cards tell me to in between performances, but thankfully I'm on a break. Right now I'm just going where the cards tell me to and seeing what happens!" She explained, and in one fluid motion swiped the business girl back into her sleeve and had pulled out a deck from seemingly nowhere. She flipped it around to the bottom card, where an extravagant Crimson Beast Tamer rested softly. "See? They told me to come here! Then I had a feeling I should talk to you! I do not know why!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 03:55:13 PM: Dalis Strophia...?

Nope, didn't ring a bell.

"I don't think I've heard of your name or stage name", Yukino broke the unfortunate news to the girl. Even so, she took the business card to have a look at it. While glancing at the sleeve and feeling the urge to question the whip... a simple shrug and focusing back on Dalis' identity put it out of mind. Bubbly enough to bring calm in the air of the conversation, with pretty fashion sense to boot, she was already on the queen's good side. Smiling, she looked back up at the performer after the business card was returned, listening to what else she had to say. Something about going where the cards tell her to go made Hikari giggle.

...

Wait, what?!

Yukino's eyes widened, her bladed eyes fixated on Crimson Beast Tamer. Yet another communicate for Cray?! How many were there?! The shock of a new person like this left her unresponsive, only staring at the deck.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 04:30:16 PM: "What's up? You still haven't even told me your name, if I may say so." Dalis joked, face contorted in a sad grin. "Perhaps I don't mean anything to you?" With a hearty laugh, she took the Crimson Beast Tamer, while her deck vanished in thin air. "I perform at a circus, and this clan spoke to me in multiple ways - literally and figuratively." Her eyes surveyed the other girl, the air around her different. Royal, imperial, commanding. The way she stared at Dalis, and her cards, was unnerving, yet Dalis didn't back down. Since when did she back down? She'd done scarier things in her acts.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 05:09:30 PM: "Huh? Oh... right", Yukino had completely lost herself for a minute. She's been lost in thought with moments like these in the past three days, and it was starting to get on her nerves. A queen isn't fit to be constantly staring off into space, goddammit. Shaking her head and finally speaking, "My name is-"

Nope. Another important key, Blaster Blade made her spurt out her name chosen by Cray.

"Hikari Espoir".

Yukino enjoyed being the chosen one, but she loathed that name. It was just mind-numbingly cliche, and anything with "kari" in it sounded far too cute for a woman of her esteem. The queen was not cute, rather, she was beautiful and majestic. Cute fits Hana. ... Well, nothing to do about it now. This name was important to other Vanguards of Cray, and Cray as a whole, so it was simply an annoyance to take with a grain of salt.

"The cards speak to you... can you talk to them back? And have... conversations?" Inquiries were beginning, and they were somewhat more embarrassing than she thought they'd be. How exactly do you go about questioning someone's connection to a distant planet via magic? Was this the kind of interrogation she'd have to give Satoshi later? Ergh, that just sent chills down her spine.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 05:25:01 PM: Dalis eyed Hikari, unsure of the other girl. She nervously twirled her hair, eyes unsure.

"Uh..huh. Doesn't fit you, if you don't mind me saying." Dalis said, with the same confidence she always projected. "Well, yeah. I can only have conversations with Crimson Beast Tamer, but all the cards say things. I just can't talk back to most of them. And well, in a Cardfight, it's usually more short words and emotions. Like gut instincts." She explained, hand resting on her hip. She talked about it as casually as if it was about what she wanted for dinner.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 05:55:16 PM: A nervous giggle. "Yeah... I don't mind, I agree...", but it's not like she can just drop the name. Not as long as Blaster Blade had something to say about it. Yukino placed one of her hands under the other's palm, swaying a little bit to the sides as the girls conversed. An interesting tidbit to hear was that Dalis could only hold conversations with one unit. I can't judge Satoshi's ability, but it might be more limited than mine and Hana's like this woman's... so only we can speak with our entire clan...?

Honestly, after meeting all these people with the same ability, she suddenly understood jack-squat. Figured there were more people to meet like this even.

"I suppose this fits you as a performer, you have to be able to communicate with everyone on stage after all", Yukino rationalized. At least she could say she can talk to her cards too, Dalis wouldn't call the queen a nutjob like everyone else did.

"Pardon my... shock a moment ago, and how a bit unnerved I am... I can speak with my units as well, and you're not the first person beyond my sister I've met with the same power..."

Yukino noted that everyone who could communicate with Cray were strong fighters. This drowned out her anxiety with some excitement, what if Dalis was strong too? Oho, this could be fun. Though, Hikari wanted to ease more into it. A surprising lack of aggression she usually gives to everyone else was gifted upon Dalis.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 06:26:47 PM: "Ha! Of course. What a brilliant way to think of it." Dalis agreed, nodding her head slightly. "I know nothing about you, so I can't really say anything." Dalis stated, quickly stowing the card away. "All I can say is it told me to come over here, and then I decided to talk to you. If there are others who can do things like us, fine. Sounds fun. And you seem like you want to ask me something. So, what is it?"

She brushed her hair away, twirling the purple strands at the fine tips of it idly in her fingers. She surveyed the woman who was obviously on edge, shocked by something but not letting it out.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 10, 2015, 06:45:22 PM: After Haruka returned his deck back to Itou, he found himself wandering. He checked back at the park, but the pervert in the bushes had already disappeared. Or at the very least, Haruka was unable to discern his location. Instead, he ended up daydreaming and found himself surrounded by cinder blocks and iron bars. "Hmm. Probably doing construction here."

What did you think?

"Shut up." That voice again. Haruka keeps hearing him. It's definitely a him because of his voice. However the voice does not match the words. It sounds grand, and ominous. Powerful even. Yet everything he says is snarky, condescending, or just downright pessimistic.

"Who are you anyways?"

Your true avatar.

"Daiyusha? Why would I be hearing you talk to me?"

Guess again. I'm your avatar from a future not too far from now. Believe in me. I'll guide you. Now hide.

"W-Wait what?" As Haruka says that, he notices two people talking about what sounds like spirits or something. He ducks down behind a wall near some iron bars. He crouches carefully as to not make any sudden noises.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 06:47:46 PM: Hikari plucked out her deck, taking a single card from it. The woman held it between two fingers, showing off Blaster Blade to Dalis.

"Feel honored, I present you with the privilege of getting to know me", her royal pain demeanor returned from being dormant all day. Lips curled into a confident smirk, she pointed the card toward the performer. "I'd like to fight you. You seem worth my time, and if you are, that means you're strong. I like strong people", she sneered. That was... sort of a compliment coming from the queen, considering that she just called Dalis strong without even knowing her actual skill.

You know, the Royals sort of missed not having this ego all morning.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Beryl on August 10, 2015, 06:49:27 PM: Having walked a bit away from the residential area, Satoshi found himself at the grounds for a new part of the city currently under construction. He noticed Yukino, once again, with the younger girl he saw her talking to before in the shopping district and another girl he didn't recognize. Shoot, that girl was everywhere. Maybe it had something to do with that whole "being chosen" thing?

He walked up steadily, being careful not to get his new suit dirty. After all, he had to make these clothes work for a while until he found some way to make some more money...

"Miss Yuki!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 10, 2015, 06:59:41 PM: "More people?" Haruka whispered. He looked over the edge to see a man in a suit, and what he believed to be two women. One was holding out a card. "What's that?"

Blaster Blade.

"I think I've seen that card before. Against Itou, right?"

Right. Now listen closely. You might find some answers you're looking for.

"U-Uh, okay." Haruka tunes his ears to the conversation.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 07:11:30 PM: "You want to fight? Sure!" Dalis exclaimed, giggling highly. "I won't go down easy though!" Her head tilted, her smile widening. She was unphased by the confidence, the ego that surrounded Hikari. She brought her deck out, flashing her Crimson Beast Tamer.

"Let's have a great performance!" Dalis proclaims happily.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Lance Korilum on August 10, 2015, 08:29:00 PM: After learning who the owner of the construction site was from the workers, Cero left to the home of the owner, having received directions and not needing a map this time. Without even bothering to knock, he barged into the home, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I, Cero Kirguis, Europe's King of Vanguard, am here to obtain the deed to the construction site you own!" Obviously, this intrusion was not taken kindly by the owner, who nearly attempted to arrest Cero. However, some 'heated discussion,' Cero managed to convince the man to sell the deed for a... Less than reasonable price for Cero, due to his rude interruption and mannerisms.

Immediately after receiving the deed, Cero returned to the construction site to explain to the workers what he needed them to build, shouting at them for no real reason as per usual. With his plans for the building now set into motion, Cero turned away to get back to what he was doing previously, only to notice a cardfight currently in progress between Hikari and a woman he didn't recognize. Against his better judgement, he figured he would stay and watch the fight to see if this unknown woman would be a challenge for him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 08:31:37 PM: Though she heard Satoshi's voice, the queen was far too enticed by the onset of a fight to respond.

... However, she did note that his country accent was gone.

Luck wasn't on Dalis' side. Unfortunately, neither was mercy. Hikari swiftly razed through Cray's circus with a perfect set up. Alfred, Akane, Palamedes, Lien, and even a spare Soul Saver without Pongal answered her call. Blaster Blade was on the board to watch the last instance of the fight. Flipping her hair with a triumphant motion of her head, game was declared. "Good game" came from her mouth, admitting that she wasn't disappointed in the slightest, even with the bad luck.

Hikari smiled down at her Royals, rather proud of them, and she could see them all beaming back in her mind. The Paladins gave Pale Moon its props, their multiple attack waves, along with the ability to summon boosters for units that can't hit on their own... A bit worrying over the fact that they were from Dark Zone, but in the hands of Dalis, Alfred himself was at ease. Blaster Blade too was at ease with her choice of Avatar.

"You manipulate your clan's strengths well", commending the performer was Yukino's way of thanking her for the pleasure of a heated exchange.

Dalis +1 Affinity
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 08:37:20 PM: "Haha! Oh man, that was a close one. If I just had 10000 more shield." Dalis mused, laughing heartily despite it all. "Don't worry though. I'll fix a few new things then come right back at you! Stronger, too." She flicked her hair, laughter escaping her mouth far too often. A close fight, one riveting and eventful. Looking back at it, it was one of the best fights she had done.

She packed away the deck, keeping Crimson Beast Tamer hid underneath her sleeve as she always did. A fun party trick, truth be told. She held her hand out to Hikari, keeping eye contact and smiling brightly. "Let's fight again some time, mmkay?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 10, 2015, 08:42:32 PM: "Huh. That was pretty cool." Haruka spoke out loud by accident. His eyes darted around to make sure he wasn't noticed. Instead of running, he ducks back down and tries to hide against the half-built wall.

"Heh, uh, what now?"

Well. You can talk to them.

"... Plan B?"

And you want to save people? That is a pathetic mindset to have if you can't even talk to some people.

Haruka clenches his teeth and gulps. The voice isn't wrong. Haruka knows if he can't just normally go up to people he won't be able to save people in slightest. But before Haruka could regain the courage to go up to them, the fight ends.

"Maybe now isn't a good time-"

Pa-the-tic.

The voice was not going to sugarcoat Haruka's indecisiveness.

"Okay, fine." Haruka stands up and looks at the fighters, before stepping climbing over the wall. "Here goes nothing," Haruka whispered to himself. Hands in pockets, scarf waving behind him, he took a step forward.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 08:47:22 PM: But of course, shaking her hand was the least Hikari wanted to do as thanks. Taking the woman's hand, Yukino spoke: "Yes, we must! I want to see more of your tricks, and I want to see how resourceful your clan can be. You store your plays in a soul, which is a tactic I've never seen."

Thinking on it, this was the happiest Hikari had looked in three days to someone who isn't Hana or Miyuki. She didn't even notice the boy in the bushes, or what Satoshi could be doing now.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 10, 2015, 09:06:44 PM: Before Haruka can approach the two women, he notices a rather large man also watching the fight.

"Who is that?" Haruka whispered.

Europe's King of Vanguard. Were you listening to him yelling earlier? It was kind of hard not to..

Haruka breaks into a small giggle before realizing that he could be seen now. "Should we talk to him?"

What, too afraid to talk to women? Pathet-

"Shut uuuup!" Haruka yelled, childishly. "Uh-" Haruka had just realized the mistake he made by yelling into thin air. A cold sweat broke across his brow. The disgruntled expression that masked Haruka's face turned to one of guilt and embarrassment.

Look what you've gone and done.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 09:07:18 PM: "You'll be the first to see the newest tricks." Dalis mused, smirking at Hikari. The girl was beaming, buzzing with joy or some other emotion she was barely keeping in check. She opened her mouth to reply, but upon seeing two new arrivals, her eyebrows raised.

Her eyes stared at the boy who had came from the bushes. "You know, perving on girls from the bushes really isn't good for a first impression...?" She said hopelessly, shaking her head. "Who are you? What's up?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Beryl on August 10, 2015, 09:14:09 PM: "Miss Yuki, I wanted to ask you about---"

Satoshi couldn't finish before hearing the shouting and yelling of some man with an accent. The hell was he doing? He looked in his direction.

"Pardon me, could you keep it down? I'm trying to learn about something important here."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 10, 2015, 09:22:53 PM: Gulp.

"N-No it's not like that I swear! I was just watching the fight! You two seemed really confident and I-"

You really are bad with women.

Haruka's mouth hangs half open before biting his lip and moving his eyes around the area, observing he isn't the only one around. He finally stands up straight and looks straight at them.

"This is kind of a misunderstanding. I just wandered around and ended up here. I didn't want to interrupt, but watching that fight was way too good to pass up. And I'm not a pervert, at least not compared to that one guy in the park. What was his name again... Well it's not important. Anyways, err, uhm, I'm sorry about this."

Haruka's eyes fall closed as he bows as an apology, hands by his side.

Wow. You actually did it. Remind me to buy you a drink later.

Haruka smiled a little as he stood up straight.

Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 09:41:00 PM: Yukino glared swords into this man from the bush, almost literally. Her bladed eyes metaphorically stabbed him with her fury. But it was quelled by Satoshi's voice.

First thing's first:

"What the hell happened to your voice?!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Beryl on August 10, 2015, 10:09:29 PM: Satoshi blushed a little, clearly embarassed. "Well...I had to get new clothes because this idol I met named Ighanna thought I was a stalker, and I spent the night trapped in a trash can...but for some reason, my usual demeanor isn't quite up to standard..."

He shook his head. "But I'm here to ask you about that 'chosen one' thing you mentioned when we played. You said only the chosen could talk to their units. Am I one of those chosen?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 10, 2015, 10:21:38 PM: Yukino froze in silence for a moment.

"How in the hell do clothes- never mind", this line of thinking was a complete waste of time. Emphasized with a smack to her own forehead, she wiped the hand down her face. Then, proceeding to take a breath of calm, answering his second inquiry came next.

"I haven't the foggiest idea, but I'd assume not. Not in the same sense of importance of myself, anyway. Neo Nectar is simply a clan of nurturing nature, little impact compared to Royal Paladin. Then again, no one is as important as me", denying any hint of Satoshi's significance, if there was any, the queen went on to praise herself. Truly, the difference of relevance between the two clans was marginally large, and that reflected on their human vanguards. Chuckling lightly, she simply came to a realization: everyone who could also talk to their cards except the Espoirs were nothing more than that. The escalating destiny Hikari was gifted with cannot be bestowed onto another, not even Hana, but she was close.

These people had something in common with her at least, so she won't feel like the only one.

Post by: Beryl on August 10, 2015, 10:29:16 PM: "Oh...I see..."

Disappointed a bit, Satoshi scratched the back of his head. "Well, thanks for telling me, darlin'---I-I mean, Miss Yuki." He gave a little bow to recognize her status, and turned to potentially walk away, hands in his pockets.

<Is it really that worthless a skill?...> he thought to himself.

Post by: Jello on August 10, 2015, 10:32:02 PM: "Chosen ones? What's that supposed to mean? And talk to their units? People can do that? Hold on, hold on. I'm confused. What's all this business about?" Haruka scratched the back of his head.
"I'm really confused. What does that mean? And who is chosen? What for-"

Stop. You're making a fool of yourself again. Just listen.

Haruka reluctantly shut up and put his hands back in his pockets.

Post by: shirii on August 10, 2015, 10:35:21 PM: Dalis sighed, the overbearing and new arrivals overwhelming her. Her hand quickly slipped behind Hikari, slotting one of her business cards, containing her phone number and other information into her back pocket. To someone who didn't know what she did, it probably looked like she just groped Hikari. Before the situation could get any more awkward, she silently slipped away, dashing away from the construction site, sighing.

"Thank God that's over." She groaned, hand ruffling her hair as she headed over to no place in particular.

Post by: Lance Korilum on August 10, 2015, 11:19:19 PM: Disappointed by the unknown woman, Cero turned away, ignoring the insane conversations about 'talking to cards.' Having nothing left to do here, Cero pulled his map out again, attempting to figure out where the card shop he was looking for was, despite still being completely incapable of reading it.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 10, 2015, 11:29:08 PM: Haruka was looking for an exit at this point. After seeing a girl-on-girl grope session, he felt like he was more intruding than just talking anymore. With a quick turn, Haruka turns towards the wall and jumps back over the concrete wall. He slides down the hill near the site and begins his escape towards the city. Nothing good can from staying here anymore.

Did you find out what you were looking for?

"Don't know... Maybe... The question is... What am I looking for?"

Hmm. I suppose you're right.

Haruka makes his way back towards the main city.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 11, 2015, 12:25:15 AM: "Nothing you need to concern yourself with, peon", Yukino full on insulted the other man. She felt something slipped into her pocket, which she'd have to check in a minute.

The ice queen departed on her own after everyone else left, searching for Hana. Reaching to see what Dalis left, it was just her business card... Wait, why didn't she just leave it when she gave it to Hikari the first time?

Irritation settled after being confused, because she didn't find the red-eyed terror today. But she was going to get him, and she was going to get him good.

The weather didn't seem as welcoming as yesterday, the clouds are bruised however there seemed to be no signs of raining. She then sympathized for the workers as if it did began to rain, all the concrete won't dry and the metals will rust, depending on their bosses they might even be forced to work with raindrops sharp like needles.

She then shook her head and walked past the construction site, heading to work

"Wake UP!!" my mom said. Startled, I got up and went downstairs. After breakfast my mom said I should go to the beach, immediately i said "No". An hour later i was at the beach, not wanting to be there, I found a adirondack chair and rested. I took my deck out of my pocket and took a look at it, I saw an unfamiliar card, its name was' Blaster Dark'. I put the deck back in my pocket, and went to sleep.

All of a sudden a beach ball hit me in the face, I got up looked around, and saw two kids running away. I layed back down and took my deck out of my pocket, I saw two more unfamiliar cards, their name's were 'Fulbau' and 'Blaster Javelin'. Again, someone hit me with a beach ball, knocking his cards out of his hand, and again the kids ran away. As he picked up his cards a bird came, grabbed up 'Blaster Dark', and flew away.. discouraged Shin'en ran after the bird, The bird then dropped it and landed in someones hand.......grabbed up 'Blaster Dark', and flew away.. discouraged I ran after the bird, as the bird flew towards the construction site, I said to myself, " Once everyone is gone I'll go look for it there.

Intrigued by the Construction Site near the beach, Tsubasa heads to check it out before returning home, since the beach was closed for the day.

"...-sigh- I did not expect to be heading to a construction site in my quest for fresh air," he said, while strolling towards the construction site.

Upon his arrival, he was greeted by an unexpected creature as it landed on his shoulder.

"Oh, hey little guy, were u looking for fresh air too...-gasp-?" Before Tsubasa can finish, he was startled by the fact that the bird had a Vanguard card in between it's beak. "What is that?" as Tsubasa takes the card from the bird's grip and begins to examine it, he is shocked by what he sees.

"This can't be......Blaster blade?

Tsubasa could not believe his eyes, he always thought that the hero of the royal paladins would never take such a form, until he realized that this card is part of a different clan altogether.

"Blaster Dark..?" The card emanated a black aura to Tsubasa, it was different from the light of the royal paladins, butat the same time it was not discomforting or uneasing. "I need to check this card and this clan out later--"

Before Tsubasa could make his way out of the Construction site, he is abruptly stopped by a stranger who can't seem to catch his breath, probably from running too much.

Post by: OverDrive on August 12, 2015, 08:08:59 PM: "I would suggest not snatching something from my hand -snatching the card back-" he said in a stern and demanding voice, which seemed to shake the resolve of the stranger.

Tsubasa did not take kindly to the stranger's rudeness, but more than that he was extremely intrigued by the 'Blaster Dark' card. At the same time he saw how determined the stranger was to get back the card. He decided to settle this matter in a different way...

"There is no way that you can prove to me that this card is yours,..however i'll make you a proposal, if you can defeat me in a cardfight i'll let you have the card" he said, with a strong desire to see this cardfighter's capability.

After Starting off with Fulbau>>>Javelin, i then realized that without Blaster Dark i couldnt use my strategy, I had to Ride the only grade 2 I had which was 'Skull Witch Nemain', who had only 3000 Power

Next turn I gave it my all but it wasnt enough to stop my opponent.

My opponent finished me off with 'King of Knights, Alfred' as i did my damage trigger check, I new i was going to loose causeI had all 4 heals in my drop zone, but that didnt stop me from trying...In the end I lost, but my opponent new it was because of nemain that had slowed me down, and that 'Blaster Dark' did indeed belong to me , Shin'en Kuraidesu.

One of the workers seems to be tired and knocked out, Itou decides to help:

As the sun set, Tsubasa starts to leave the construction site while pondering on why blaster dark was not a unit he could reject or overlook.

"...Shadow Paladins sacrifice their allies to gain power, while the Royal Paladins gain power by having allies by their side.." he thought, as he made his way out of the Construction Site.

"..Then why did I not reject that card....I thought that part of me was..."

Life challenges each person through different aspects and situations, in Tsubasa's case certain scars don't heal fast enough. In his conscience, accepting blaster dark is a link to his past that he thought was already severed and dealt with.

"...Have I been playing this game to forget..?" he wondered, while staring at his deck.

"Shin'en Kuraidesu...it was an interesting fight...i'm sure we'll be seeing each other again." he said, as he makes his way home.

Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on August 20, 2015, 06:20:24 PM: As the solitude echoed in the wind, a man stepped into the once working construction site and gazed at the half-completed building.

"Every journey.... begin's with a single step." The voice was clear. It was Kurai Tsukino. The construction site was purchased by Cero Kirguis. However it seemed at the moment to be on a break, as the building was under development and the construction vehicles were dead in their tracks. Kurai looked back down to reality.

A place which was at peace was upon him, although, technically he was trespassing, he was oblivious to it. He wanted a place that he could look to the sky without hesitation. A creation of new building, bringing forth a new journey and adventure. Kurai was thinking about what would become of his journey...since his loss to the Underground King and his Limit Break, a slight depression had befell upon him, similar to the depression that consumed him at the time of his mother's passing, following him like a shadow through the next several years of his life. He wondered the point. He had swore that he would eventually overcome the slender black suited man, but why did he? Why does he want to surpass his strength when he knows that there would ALWAYS be someone that would surpass him, even Haruki Yahagi, Neo or Golden Boy could surpass him at any given moment and extend his journey further....

He stood in the the centre of the construction site and pondered why he was continuing to get stronger.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 20, 2015, 08:35:35 PM: Neo had walked pretty much everywhere the entire day without realizing it. With so much going through his head, it was safe to say at this point overthinking everything and lacking self confidence. But it didnt stop him from moving foward.

"If PSY Shop taught me anything, its to not think your weak" Neo said. And I will never give up!

Neo reached this construction site, seemed like he had been everywhere today. He was holding onto his new deck, filled with power that could not be explained. Then while he was walking, he noticed Kurai standing in the center.

"Hey Kurai!" Neo screamed from the distance and started walking over to him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on August 20, 2015, 08:49:41 PM: "Hey Kurai!"

The scream broke the silence that was befitting of the abandoned construction site. The voice belonged to Neo Isamu. The man Kurai informed about his lack of confidence in the Narukami. He wondered why Neo had called forth his name and had started walking towards him from a distance. It seemed like he had gained more power... Along side more confidence. Kurai was visually annoyed at this interruption to his thought, taking action against Neo.

"You walk towards me like you bare a grudge?" The wind blew once more, his red scarf flustered past his eye's. The breeze suddenly stopped and the scarf lowered from covering his eyes. They had turned crimson once more. "YOU, want to JUST walk towards me? Do you WANT to talk words... or perhaps FIGHT!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Helios on August 20, 2015, 09:24:11 PM: The breeze started to pick up. Hazama knew what this meant. "Kurai," he said to himself.

Hazama this time is wearing a black, unzipped jacket with its hood over his head and almost covering his eyes to the people around him. His hands in his pockets, he walks up to the two familiar people slowly with a bit of swaying in each of his steps.

"Well if it isn't the 'Snake' and the guy who almost died," he says aloud still having a sway in each step (he isn't drunk btw).
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on August 20, 2015, 09:54:11 PM: Kurai jumped a few steps back after hearing another recognizable voice.... the voice of the Golden Boy, Hazama. Kurai was slightly amused by his appearance but also intrigued by his introduction. He referenced Neo Isamu as 'the guy who almost died'. H couldn't detect a joking tone from him. He was also moving strange, much like Neo. Although, Neo wasn't swaying side-to-side.

Kurai smugly laughed at Hazama, "WHY are YOU here? Have you come HERE to insinuate a fight as WELL?" Kurai jumped straight to the point. Using this tactic, he attempted to get information from Hazama, but was unsure whether it would work effectively or fail him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Helios on August 20, 2015, 10:15:10 PM: "I'm not here for you, you little insolent fool," he says to Kurai. "In fact, all you are to me in this world is nothing but a piece of trash who deserves to rot in a landfill where you belong.

He then looks at the guy he saved last night in the forest. "You are what is important in this matter. I heard you have been to Card Shop PSY and got a new card. As for your PSY visit, I congratulate you, as they pick the right people to visit their shop."

He studies the guy, "But I doubt one card can be enough."

Post by: Cherry on August 20, 2015, 10:48:34 PM: On the way back home, Yugure noticed that she was passing through the construction site that Europe's King of Vanguard purchased. It had been a good while since she saw him... His clan probably changed like everyone else's... Looking down sadly at the pavement, she wondered what he'd be playing now. When would he come back to Japan, even? The man was loud but he was a good fighter, and a nice challenge. Cero Kirguis answered Vanguard more directly than anyone she had ever known. The queen looked at the large structure of construction, impressed by Cero's determination fueling progress here.

Then she saw people yelling and insulting each other.

"Oh god, what fresh hell is this?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on August 20, 2015, 10:58:43 PM: Card Shop PSY. Kurai pondered if that shop had an influence on Neo. It seemed like there were forces at work that he could not understand, similar to the force that made him practically appear right in-front of Shop Handsome without knowledge or logic in how he got there. He wanted some form of answer, and he addressed Hazama.

"HEY, GOLDEN BOY! WHAT IS THIS PSY YOU SPEAK OFF?!" Aggression was building towards Hazama's attitude, after all he did call him a snake. [Tch, he knows nothing I bet other than the name.] His glare remained on Hazama. "ANSWER ME!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Helios on August 20, 2015, 11:04:45 PM: "PSY shop is none of your business," he says to Kurai.

Suddenly, Hazama hears footsteps behind him and hears the words, "Oh god, what the fresh hell is this." He turns around at the sign of a new person approaching the scene.

"Well well, look who we have here. The ferocious 'Queen' at the Train Station so long ago. Now what the hell do you want?" he questions the girl with a hint of agitation as she interrupted the conversation between him and Haruki.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 20, 2015, 11:09:16 PM: She didn't even say anything to them.

Never mind this other guy screaming, Yukino scowled at the one aggressively inquiring her being here. This guy recognized her from the Train Station, so this was probably when she beat up Shiki. The queen honestly wasn't in the mood to deal with bad attitudes. Yet, hearing about PSY, she was curious. Brushing off the rude welcome, she spoke: "Not here to bother you guys, but I heard you all talking about PSY. What for? ... And why is this guy shouting?"

Yugure had to admit that PSY must've had an interesting role to play in all of this. ... Thinking more on it, the shop might actually be a lead.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Kuro on August 20, 2015, 11:10:30 PM: Haruki wandered through the area and heard shouting in a construction site nearby. He believed someone was in trouble, so the young man rushed into the area for justice. As he entered, however, he noticed Kurai and Hazama were the ones arguing, with Neo and Yukino beside them. This was an incredible amount of rage being unleashed between them, and Haruki realized that if he didn't do anything, the they could get into an even more aggressive fight. He ran over as fast as he could and got between the group, putting his hands up to stop the Kurai and Hazama from getting out of hand.

"Hey! Hey! You guys have to chillax!" Haruki's word choice may not have been, but his seriousness in his tone towards the two was evident.

Post by: NeoBuster on August 20, 2015, 11:12:23 PM: Neo slowed down when he noticed Yukino, Hazama and Haruki also there with Kurai.

"What in the world?" Neo said.

"Hazama what are you doing here?" And Hello again Yukino and Haruki" Neo said wondering what was going on.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Helios on August 20, 2015, 11:18:05 PM: He now notices Haruki enter the scene. "Haruki, shut it before I shut it for you," he says to the "justice bringer".

He then looks at that girl, "As for you, none of this business about PSY concerns you either. Besides I was just congratulating that guy on the achievement, though one card doesn't matter."

He finally follows up with the "guy who almost died", "And finally, for you. I'm here because I can be here."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 20, 2015, 11:20:23 PM: "Who is 'that guy'?" Yukino asked him, despite how he very clearly wants her out of the conversation. While curious, she was sort of interested in just pissing him off now. Better yet, now she realized this was the "coward" Hana was complaining about. So this would be even more fun. The queen gave Neo and Haruki a little wave of greetings, happy to see these two again. The guy who bravely act dog food based on a joke and the kid who helped her out before.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 20, 2015, 11:22:15 PM: "Hazama.." Neo replied.

Neo then walked up to Hazama, and took out his portable Vanguard table.

"I challege you Hazama to a cardfight!" He said with confidence!

"This time, nothing is getting in my way in getting the answers I want" Neo said to Hazama paying no attention to everyone else.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on August 20, 2015, 11:24:14 PM: He was visually pissed off, however he realised that Hazama wouldn't give up information that easily. Kurai heard a female voice. "Oh god, what the fresh hell is this."

He wondered who the hell it was, Hazama had addressed her as a Queen. [Tch, Stuck up Royal Brat I bet.] He decided to play this to his advantage. After-all, he could escape if he used that... No, he decided that would be embarrassing on too many levels. He turned to his left... "Crap... he's here as well" he whispered to himself upon seeing Haruki. His chance to leave dwindled. He decided to use "that". At the same time, Hazama started addressing the others. Whilst the Queen questioned Hazama.

He walked over to a nearby digger and picked up the bag containing the brown teddy bear. The wind blew his red scarf once more and the crimson died down in his eyes. He began to walk to the edge of the construction site passing Hazama and Neo. And stopped facing this queen person.

He placed the bag with the teddy bear in-front of here and spoke to her. "Take this." Then he turned to face Hazama. "We will fight...but on a much grander stage." He then addressed Neo. "The same to you, we will fight again."

With this, Kurai walked away, leaving the Brown teddy-bear in-front of the queen

He didn't bother to follow him as the young man remembered the words between them at the shop. He did see that Neo, however, was challenging Hazama to a cardfight in search of some answers, perhaps of the Narukami clan again. This was a fight that Haruki didn't have to intervene for, as it was not as aggressive as the previous. He stayed back with Yukino to observe what would happen in their fight.

"Nice plush," he said to the girl.

Post by: Helios on August 20, 2015, 11:32:07 PM: What is this girl doing here anyways, shes just another annoying person. Whatever. Hazama turned his attention to the reason why he was here. He then realizes he is holding out his deck wishing for a cardfight for the answers he supposedly wants.

"Fine, I'll accept your challenge. Time to see if this new card proves anymore strength to this clan."

Without turning around he says to the girl, "You can stay and watch, or you can scram, doesn't matter to me."

After all it was in the center of the Central Business District so it is quite common to pass by. The building was going at an extremely fast rate which surprised Ighanna as it was quite different from last time she saw it, much more complete and "fleshy". However what she noticed near the site was two familiar faces and so she approached them closer to spectate the game.

"Oh its you two again, hi" Ighanna greeted as she tried to not interrupt the pace of the ongoing game.

Post by: Cherry on August 20, 2015, 11:54:36 PM: What.

Not only did Hazama ignore her inquiry, but this other guy just randomly gave her a teddy bear. She just... held it and looked at it. Yugure was a fan of stuffed animals, yet, something was creepy about this one. Maybe the fact that it was so random it made no sense. A nervous laugh in response to Haruki, she didn't interrupt the fight at least. This was proof that the queen wasn't here to get in the way. With a sigh, watching the fight, the person who went to PSY was probably Neo or Haruki. Whatever, at least the topic itself gave a lead in the quest for knowledge.

"Hello again, Ighanna", Yugure greeted their family friend.

Ighanna replied nearly immediately after Yukino finishes her sentence. She happens to be slightly entertained by the game and gave Haruki a eerie stare as she clutched what was apparently a Teddy Bear. It would be quite interesting to see Yukino and Hazama fight, after all Ighanna wasn't that great of a fighter herself.

Post by: Kuro on August 21, 2015, 12:02:05 AM: As the fight ended in Neo's favor with a new Limit Break vanguard at his side, Haruki turned to Ighanna to greet her. It's been a couple of months since their encounter, but the young man of justice still remembered the time he gave Hazama the chance to fight her.

"It's good to see you again Ighanna. Neo here was challenging Hazama to a fight to learn more about his clan."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Helios on August 21, 2015, 12:08:19 AM: The fight ends. "You don't know me, nobody does. They way I act, why I am such an ass, why I can't physically tell you what you want to know."

Hazama grabs his things and starts heading off into the darkness as night had fallen during their fight.

Hercules, why does this keep happening? Why do I keep losing? Though more importantly, no matter what happens, I want you always by my side as I have no one beside me. Not even the rest of family trusts me anymore with this game.

Hazama, its fine. I will always be here for you. And maybe this deck isn't suited for you completely. When we get home, I want to show you something else.

Post by: NeoBuster on August 21, 2015, 12:10:15 AM: The cardfight ended and Neo was out of breathe as he tried to keep his balance. "Armor Break Dragon, this power..." Neo said.

Neo then said to himself "PSY Shop was worth the visit"

After hearing everything Hazama said to him after the Cardfight, Neo somehow felt that Hazama was hiding something but something became clear: "Hazama isnt that bad of a person" Neo started to say. "He is hiding his true emotions.. Im sure we will meet again.

+1 Affinity to Hazama

Neo then walked over to Yukino, Haruki and Ighanna. "Hello Ighanna" Neo said.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 21, 2015, 12:44:57 AM: So it was Neo.

"I didn't really have business with them, just one or two questions", Yukino responded to Ighanna as the fight ended in the ass' defeat. Fully acknowledging that she likely used to be bad, there is no way in hell she was as bad as this guy. A new level of jerk wouldn't be enough to describe it. How did Neo even put up with wanting to challenge him? Well, at least Neo smashed him hard enough to make him leave. The queen smiled at that, nodding with a quiet "good job" to one of her most recent new friends.

"Thanks to coming here, I finally know where to look next: PSY", Yugure stated the fruits of her investigations out loud to the others.

Finally, some progress on getting Ahmes and Yunos back...

Thanking them by beaming brightly in the night, she added a curtsy to express further gratitude.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 21, 2015, 12:50:37 AM: As everyone was thinking to themselves. Neo started talking out loud again without realizing which has become a bad habit

" I will find out what happened to Kagero if it was the last thing I do" Neo said

With Hazama not giving him any infomation now, Neo decided to look around the construction site for some clues at least about either Narukami or his parents.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Hope on August 21, 2015, 01:00:31 AM: "So like, you're saying you guys don't deliver pizza to abandoned construction zones?... Seriously?" Neu complained, very much invested in her phone conversation about pizza deliveries. "Well I can't argue with that logic!" She shrugged, a little understanding, but also a little bit frustrated.

"I'm so hungry!" She exclaimed.

She leaned against a wall and opened her phone's web browser. A few clicks and she reached the Vortimer website, "Whelp.com," a great place for reviews. Thinking to herself a little, Neu scrolled down and looked for nearby eateries. "It's nightime already and I haven't eaten dinner... what am I even in the mood for..." Her eyes lit up as she saw the perfect place, "A cheap place that sells fish balls close by! I love fish balls." She hurried over past a wall to immediately see someone in her peripheral vision. She quickly slithered back behind and peeked her head out a little bit.

"The heck is he doing here, does he wanna get jumped or something?... Wait what am I doing here."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Kuro on August 21, 2015, 01:03:21 AM: "See ya Yukino," Haruki said as he waved goodbye to the girl. Then he began to wonder about Neo's conversation. He spoke of PSY Shop being 'worth the visit' for the power of Armor Break Dragon, as well as something about Kagero. The name sparked interest in Haruki's mind. Asking Neo about what he spoke of could help the young man of justice to learn more about the changing game of vanguard. He proceeded to follow Neo and ask a question.

"PSY Shop... you got your Armor Break Dragon from there then Neo?" Haruki was curious as to how Neo got this powerful Limit Break unit first.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 21, 2015, 01:06:19 AM: Why do you ask?" Neo said to Haruki.

I only did what I had to do for power and nothing more. Nothing will stop me from finding the answers i seek. Even if it means going out of my way to get stronger

----------------------------------

Meanwhile Neo noticed a person talking on the phone in the site.

"Who are you?" Neo asked the person who was on the phone.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Kuro on August 21, 2015, 01:13:02 AM: "Why do I ask..." Haruki searched for a justifiable way to answer this question. "Well, you want power, but I want answers. Learning about how this Limit Break ability came to be would be a great source for me, but I can't find any of these cards myself. It's a real mystery for me."

Haruki then followed Neo's line of site as he stopped and looked at someone hiding and on a phone. They weren't very good at hiding if this girl was so easily spotted. He walked over with Neo to see what they had to say.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 21, 2015, 01:16:07 AM: Neo walked with Haruki to the person hiding

"Uh, why are you behind this wall hiding?" Neo asked

"The power to break limits was created so fighters can reach the next level" Neo told Haruki.

Neo was not going to share info at first, but he noticed Haruki was a nice person.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Hope on August 21, 2015, 01:20:38 AM: It seems that she was spotted. She had no other choice but surrender here... no she must not give up. She slowly moved from behind the wall, both of her hands up as if exposing her guilt. She them, well, now there's two of them. She may me the one that was lost, but to her they looked like lost kids, wandering around looking for answers to everything, at least, just from what he heard from the one other kid that she didn't see from before.

Once she was out in the open, she decided to reply to the one guys question, "I was kind of heading to the uh, fish ball place nearby and I was kind of scared of seeing strangers in the construction site at night so I kind of just hid behind there for my own safety..."

"U-um..." She flinched a little and then bowed. "Would you both please lead me to the Shopping District!!!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 21, 2015, 01:25:42 AM: "Uh.." Neo said

"You dont have to bow, if your lost ill gldly help you to the district. Haruki want to come with us?" Neo said to him
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Kuro on August 21, 2015, 01:29:39 AM: This girl was probably a bit too childish for her age, a grown woman asking for directions from young adolescents like Haruki and Neo. Nonetheless, Haruki's justice surpassed his suspicions and he gladly helped the woman.

"Of course we'll help you out. Sorry if my friend came off as too brash and frightened you at first, but you can follow us to get there." Haruki gestured to the woman to follow him and Neo as they traveled to the shopping district.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 07:46:42 PM: It had been awhile since Neo had been to the construction site. Last time he was here, the events with Neu and Hazama took place. Neo decided to come back there to look for some clues on the clans.

" I wonder if there is anything around here that can help me" Neo said to himself while he kept looking around.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 23, 2015, 07:50:46 PM: It's been ages since Haruka had last shown up here. Last time he showed his face here, Cero had bought the documents to the grounds, and he was called a peon by Yukino. Dalis was also here, as well as a slightly younger Satoshi. He just got his suit then.

Haruka stood here, remembering the wonders of the past. This was the first time he and Overlord had really talked. They discussed plans and understood each other. He was, however, once again reminded Overlord was locked away.

However, to Haruka's surprise, somebody else stands in the pile of rubble called a construction site.

"Neo! Hey, over here!" Haruka waves over to Neo, trying to get his attention. It's been awhile since Haruka talked to anyone outside of the common Espoir Household. This was a lucky break for him to maybe make a friend... or a new rival. Both of those sparked a light of the candle that is Haruka's willpower.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 07:57:17 PM: Neo then saw Haruka calling to him.

"Oh, Hello there" Neo replied

"What are you doing here at a place like this?" Neo asked Haruka

Neo then thought to himself "Maybe he is here for the same reasons I am"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 23, 2015, 08:00:33 PM: "Call it a trip down memory lane?" Haruka gave a weak smile. His fatigue was mostly cured by a night spent and several cups of coffee.

"I was actually wondering if you wanted to fight me? You still have your fight table?" Haruka was really eager, as he already had his deck out and grinning. He wanted to see Dragonic Kaiser Vermilion in action with his own eyes. After all, he is often described as Overlord's successor, it's only fair Haruka get to see how his old Vanguard had done.

"So, a fight?"

Seraphim's grip had loosened on Haruka's heart for an instant. This allowed Haruka enough time to get a real fight in, and to let his true flames burn.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 08:04:18 PM: Haruka asking Neo to cardfight made his blood boil.

"Alright then you got a deal" Neo said

Neo then took out his cardfight table and put down his starter ready to fight!
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 23, 2015, 08:47:53 PM: This was a fight Haruka craved. It was more than intense. The winds of the world raced in circles around the fighters.

Despite Haruka missing his Vortimer-Duke Ride Chain, he managed to make it work through Conviction Dragon, Chromejailer Dragon. With his Persona Blast superior call, he managed to get a copy of Raging-Storm, a card that allowed him to move the missing Grade 2 into the soul, and then re-riding Spectral Duke with his full power at his heels.

However, during the fight, Haruka noticed something. The wind from Neo was similar to his own. Instead of a wave of heat, turning everything to ash, it was a powerful gale that blew with a symphony of thunder and lightning, striking down it's opponents.

Upon even Vermilion being ridden, Haruka had to take a breather. The card reminded him so much of his glorious Overlord that he missed so much.

The fight ended with a twin drive check of a critical and a draw. The advantage Haruka manged to create was immense, giving him a gradually increasing lead from the third or so turn, despite the retiring power of Narukami and it's ace, Dragonic Kaiser Vermilion.

After the fight.

"Neo, remember my request from earlier? I need your help. And you're probably not gonna believe this. But there are a lot of people who need it..." Haruka's powerful grin vanished into thin air, bringing about an air of seriousness. This was a topic he believed Neo was ready to know.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 08:52:58 PM: "Yes I remember" Neo replied

And I have a feeling I know what you are about to ask" Neo said

Hes about to ask for help about the missing clans" Neo thought to himself
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: ryujiknight on August 23, 2015, 09:03:27 PM: On my way home from Card Capital I passed by the Construction Site. I saw two strangers talking but didnt engage. As kept walking I overheard something about Vanguard. I stopped, looked, and just kept walking, then I quickly turned around and hid behind a bulldozer..Listening...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 23, 2015, 09:21:23 PM: "The missing clans." It was pretty obvious.

"First, I have a question. Have you heard of a girl named err-" The name was absolutely escaping him. What was it again, oh right!

"New E-dell Vice?"

Nailed it! Wait a second.

"Err, wait, that's not right. Neu Edelweiss was her name, I think." Haruka was scratching his head, trying to make sure he had the name right this time around.

"Yeah... Have you heard of her?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 09:25:05 PM: "No way.. I actually do" Neo replied

She came up to me one day and we fought. She was using the clans that were sealed away. She used Kagero against me, and I saw her use Royal paladin. I bet you anything she is involved" Neo said
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 23, 2015, 09:29:39 PM: Haruka formed a sly grin.

"Good. That makes explaining this a lot easier. What if I told you..."

Haruka leaned in close. For dramatic effect, he pretended to look both ways to make sure nobody was listening, even though he knew nobody was actually near.

"She's part of this." Haruka made a face of sarcastic stature. It was obvious she was involved, but he was glad that Neo was taking the whole thing seriously. It made working with him a whole lot easier. He only had one question left before asking for any help.

"Neo, tell me something. When you're faced with a problem, and you just can't seem to get through it, what would you do?" Haruka needed a genuine answer.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: ryujiknight on August 23, 2015, 09:32:01 PM: "Missing clans?" , I said to myself. "Kagero?Royal Paladin?" I just kept listening....
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 09:35:06 PM: "Hmmm..." Neo started to think

"I just take a moment to take a deep breathe and look through the entire situation at hand" Neo replied

Trust me.. I do it alot when I am looking for answers on my missing parents" Neo said
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 23, 2015, 09:41:14 PM: Hmmm.

This wasn't the answer had expected to hear from the honest and brash Neo. However, it must've been the right one, considering it was from the honest and brash Neo.

"Right then. Okay, time to get to the question at hand."

Haruka extends his arm for a shake, with a smile fit for kings. "Neo, I want to enlist you to help take down the forces of the Rift, and bring back the locked clans. What do you say?"

Enlisting him meant training with him and making sure he was prepared at all costs for whatever battles he may face. This also meant he needed to learn more about Neu himself, since Haruka has actually never met Neu before. It wasn't like joining the military or anything, but it did mean he would have to start sharing more information. However with Neo, somebody who met the girl, he has a real chance at discovering things he didn't know before.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 09:46:41 PM: " I accept " Neo replied

"I also have a feeling the rift and the sealed clans is connected to my missing parents as well, So I will help bring both the clans back and find my parents" Neo said
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 23, 2015, 09:49:10 PM: With the deal sealed, Haruka had officially brought Neo into the circle. The only problem he faced was contacting him. Which was easily rectified.

"Here, Neo. This is my cell number." Haruka scribbled down his number on a mini notebook paper and ripped it out, handing it to Neo. "Call me or text me if you need anything. Notify me if you see or hear from Neu."

Neo AP +2

Haruka nodded to him, then started heading out. His fatigue was returning and the Seraphim wasn't going to wait much longer. His chest was immediately in pain as soon as he left the construction site.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: ryujiknight on August 23, 2015, 09:58:07 PM: I got up and walked away, "What are these clans? Where did they come from? Why are they missing?..Who is this Neu, and what are these clans." , I said to myself. I saw a seagull circling the site. I thought to myself, " Why am I so worried about this" I sighed and walked away.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 23, 2015, 10:59:52 PM: Neo took the phone number Haruka gave to him and watched him walk off

Neo decided to do the same and decided to get some training in as well.

+2 Affinity to Haruka
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 28, 2015, 02:34:27 PM: How long had she been aimlessly wandering? Ever since departing from the Slums after meeting with Neu once again, the queen was lost in a daze. A horrible, horrible daze locked in a world of silence. It was nice... nobody's voice reached, nobody could yell at her, no one could pity her... No expectations, just hollow all around. A sickly smile and a trembling giggle escaped from her, finally losing her sense of reality. Having not eaten or slept, "on the edge" was an understatement. Holding an arm as if wounded, she looked up at the large construction structure base. The highly placed beams... and a delightfully convenient transportation device upward.

There was only one way left to go for the Broken Sword.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Lance Korilum on August 28, 2015, 02:48:00 PM: It had been quite some time since Cero had last checked the progress of the construction site. When he arrived, everything seemed to be fine at first. Everyone was continuing their work as normal, the building was significantly closer to completion than expected, even if it was still months away. That's when he noticed Yukino... No, that couldn't be Yukino. The woman he saw looked broken, shattered, worthless and weak. The Yukino Cero knew was far from any of this, yet there she was in a state of utter despair... What was she doing here? Cero began walking towards her to demand an answer, but as he approached, he remembered his failures. He had been unable to bring back his rival last time, unable to bring Miyuki back from despair... What could he do this time other than watch events unfold? Would he be able to change anything if he intervened?
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 28, 2015, 02:53:34 PM: ... She's not here?

Haruka had awoken back at the house without a Yukino anywhere to be found. Maybe she went home? Unfortunately, Haruka was a huge worrywart and felt it would be a huge tumor on his conscience if he didn't at least give her a call to make sure she was doing okay. Its afternoon after all, she must be up at her house, maybe talking to her dad or something.

He flicked to the contact "Yukino <3" and hit the dial button.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 28, 2015, 04:27:48 PM: Cell phone rang, Cero approached, yet neither registered to the queen who blocked out the world. The sickly lass inquired of the ride and view up high innocently and sweetly. They decided to bring her up so she could enjoy the look. Being on break while graced by a pretty girl came very rarely, so the construction workers took the opportunity with... well, thirst. Yukino didn't care, they were merely helping her by fulfilling her last request. When they reached the highest point, cautionary warnings were given. But not a single damn was in return, as the button to return them to ground level was pressed by her. However, Yukino jumped off, landing safely on one of the high beams as they descended.

"What are you doing?!" They cried.

"Are you insane?!" They yelled.

Hair fluttering in the winds, she was finally at hope's end.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Beryl on August 28, 2015, 04:38:26 PM: Walking from his space at Haruka's relatives' home, Satoshi heard the screams and shouts of various people coming from the construction site. He walked over to see several workers pointing and trembling in fear, and Cero just...standing there in awe. He looked up.

Yukino was standing on a moving beam. A moving beam several hundred feet off the ground. Workers were freaking out because apparently she jumped from the highest point of the building as though it were natural.

But the Royal Guard wasn't stunned by this. Nor was he afraid for her life. He simply walked up, stood next to Cero, and, despite not knowing that Haruka was trying to call Yukino at the moment, proceeded to dial the number he was given by the butler to contact the scarfed boy.

The time for the Triad to convene and attempt to make things right...it looked like it had to be sooner than anticipated.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 28, 2015, 04:47:02 PM: Ring.... Ring.... Ring....

Voicemail.

"E-Eh..." That's weird. Yukino always answers her cell phone. Especially for Haruka.

"I'll just... call her again..." Haruka went to press the button.

Don't.

This wasn't that Haruka wouldn't. He no longer could. Sera was in control of his body, and Haruka was unable to call again. All he could do was sit.

What's wrong? Shouldn't I just check on her? Maybe I could go look for her? I sort want to see Yukino anyways-

"Don't."

That phone call was never going to be picked up and Sera knew that. He knew that if Haruka wanted to preserve the happiness he's had for the past week, if he wanted to be able to keep fighting, he'd have to let go of everything.

...

That circumstance changed rather quickly, as he got a call.

Buzzzzzz-

"Hello?" Haruka got control of the body just in time to answer. He didn't recognize the caller ID however.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Beryl on August 28, 2015, 05:10:05 PM: "It's Satoshi. The butler looked up your mobile for me. I've been trying to get it from Yukino, but she doesn't really respond to my texts."

He bit his lip. "Speaking of...get to King Europe's Construction Site. Now. Not later. Not eventually. Right now."

He hung up, still looking up and racking his brain, trying to figure out what to do.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 28, 2015, 05:23:02 PM: Dad Espoir was on his way via highspeed limousine.

"Ah..." A deranged joy was conceived when the silent world was suddenly given sound. An audience for the queen's requiem, "how beautiful". Sweet madness corroded her mind, blocking out the voices of the workers and the boy who was climbing his way up. Ezel's roars were faint, but noticeable. Yet, she could not bring herself to bring him down any longer. Smiling through the bliss, her guardian lion would finally be free from the shackles of her misery. No more would he have to protect the one with no future.

Still, she hesitated.

Not because she had second thoughts. No, because this wind was marvelous. How the delightful caressing of death's gales - the reaper's fondling soothed her soul. This child would be given a relaxing bed in the afterlife, because she has earned it after making the decision to liberate everyone from her own sins. A release of gravity that would uplift the many with the end of one.

Yes...

She took her time enjoying the gentle breeze, as if it were a lullaby.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 28, 2015, 05:26:07 PM: "... Okay. On my way-" Haruka cuts the call as soon as he throws on his scarf and starts a mad-dash to the construction site. Despite Sera attempting to restrict his movement, Haruka find himself at mach speed.

He reaches there in a reasonable 6 minutes. It's normally a 15 minute walk but having caffeine pumping through your veins day and night sort of gives you a boost.

It only took a second to look up and for Haruka's face to morph into one of concern. He gulped and moved to Satoshi's side. He wasn't too far off, standing with Cero, who actually owned this property.

"Yeah.. I can see what you mean." Haruka moved his scarf over his face, covering himself. It was cold out tonight, but if he were to cry any tears today, he didn't want people to see. Such a silly caution, when he should be trying to bring his beloved from down there. If only he was actually capable of such a feat. He didn't even know how the hell she got up there, let alone wanted to be. He pocketed his hands and turned to his accompaniment.

"Tell me one of you have a plan." Haruka's fiery gaze turns down into an icy glare. He checks out with Cero first, being the property owner, and Satoshi second, considering Haruka would've been none the wiser had he not gotten that last second call from him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Killa on August 28, 2015, 05:47:02 PM: Makuto was walking by the Construction Site, trying to avoid causing trouble but still gazing at the hard working construction workers. One of his dreams was to become tall, buff and do manly things like drink and stuff. He quickly noticed Haruka running across the Site, stopping by some people. He decided to approach him as he looked pretty worried.

"Hello Haruka, Its been a while. What's up... you look upset." he said as he was trying to avoid eye contact with the rest of the guys.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 28, 2015, 06:11:43 PM: "Makuto..." Haruka turned to face the man he had last seen at the train station. That fight was Amon vs. The End. It was also the last fight he had with Overlord before the battle with Neu and promptly losing Overlord.

But this didn't faze him. Not even a little bit. He turned over to him and clasped his shoulder for a moment.

"Good to have you here. Except not under these... circumstances." He returns his gaze to Yukino, gritting his teeth. He needed to act fast. Faster than everyone else. They were staring, asking her dumb questions. Was anybody even really trying?

He ran to the back of the crowd, keeping his eyes on Yukino. Haruka trips several times before arriving at about eyesight level to the beam. If she even looks forward, he's in clear view.

Good thing he picked a golden scarf for this... event. It gleams pretty well.

He sucks in air. But... nothing comes out.

Once more.

Natta.

C'mon... Why won't it come out...

One more time. Come on, just one more time!

"Haaaaaaaaa......"

"YUUUUUKIIIIINOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Out of breath, he holds himself up on his knees. He screamed that out for a good nine seconds. Sadly, Haruka's efforts might have been in vain once more.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Beryl on August 28, 2015, 06:16:27 PM: Satoshi didn't really know what to say. Yukino had made a choice, a choice that may or may not have coincided with her destiny. He didn't really know what her future held, and if an attempt at death was what she was looking into...

His phone buzzed. He checked it. It was a text from the name "Espoir Residence."

Mr. Espoir is inbound. Please look alive.

He gave a slight smile as he put away his phone and turned to Haruka, who had shouted out, trying to get his love's attention. He pat his shoulder. "Have you ever wanted to see how the father lion tends to his cubs when they try to break from the pride that is their family?"

It was her beloved's voice, equaling the shattering roar of Ezel. Looking down at the crowd, that maddening bliss was replaced with hysteria. Yukino began panicking, but kept from screaming. Emotions became more mixed, she wanted to get down to safety. At the same time, said "safety" she wanted was down to a grave. Seeing Haruka here boggled her mind for a moment, trying to comprehend that he wanted her to just come down. No, that couldn't be it, she had failed Haruka as much as everyone else. He'd probably be happy...

Dad Espoir rolled out of the limo as it sped off, standing erect in the face of the situation. For once, the lion was sweating. He earnestly didn't believe his child would be drowning to the point of the end.

From out of no where, the blue eyes of Jellal Kisaragi, stay gazing at Yukino. The blonde hair boy was out of breath, gasping for air from running and using the last of his breath to let his presence known.

Stopping himself from going any further. parking on the side and looked around to see where the voice was coming from. Hikaru took off his helmet and scooted off from his grayish black motorcycle and found to see 2 figures on top of the constructed building. "What the heck is going on up there?....

The wind was blowing dense, Makuto could barely keep his head straight as the wind kept hitting his face. Even Haruka's words barely reached Makuto's ears, but he heard the thing that mattered most. He looked straight up only to see Yukino on a beam. The image was shocking. What business would she have on top of a beam. Then he heard another scream, this time from a blonde boy. It took Makuto a moment to understand the situation. Yukino was actually attempting to suicide. Makuto panicked, so many questions went through his head. What lead her to that thought. The last time Makuto saw her, she looked happy. Makuto genuinely thought he made her smile, but now he realised it was fake. And now here she is on a life or death situation. He wasn't pleased one bit. His actions weren't enough to stop this moment from happening. He couldn't stand there doing nothing. He climbed to the platform that Haruka was standing on.

"Yukino, relax and don't do anything crazy! People are here for you."

Akuma avoided getting in Makuto's way this time, he believed in Makuto's inner strenght.

He was unprepared for what he saw, Yukino appeared to be attempting suicide at the site and everyone was trying their hardest to stop her from doing it.

"...No way...YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THIS!!!" he yelled with all his might. "YUKINO!!! IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU INTEND ON SOLVING THINGS, BY GIVING UP??!"

"...Just what came over her.." he thought. "DON'T DO IT!!!" he shouted.

Post by: NeoBuster on August 28, 2015, 09:08:18 PM: Neo was walking through the construction site and he realized the big crowd surrounding it. Then realized Yukino was at the top of it.

"Yukino!" Neo said.

He ran toward the building and yelled out:

"Yukino! Its never worth it to take your own life. Sure life is hard, life is diffucult. Life was never meant to be easy but its what makes us stronger! I know everything with Vanguard has been hard, its been hard on all of us but you should never give up! You keep fighting intil your last breath!" Neo screamed out.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Spectre Diamond on August 28, 2015, 09:15:03 PM: He looked a bit more closely at the person before the young man's eyes widen from shock. He took a few more steps just in front of the building to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

"Wait, that girl it's...the Chosen sword." He thought as he remembers the conversation with Jellal on Chosen Swords real name, Yukino. The girl in question was over the edge in wanting to end her life.

"Hey! Chosen Sword you think that throwing your life away is going to make everything better!? That's just taking the easy way out! I may not know you as well but I know that this isn't you.

Hikaru then caught himself from his passionate spur. He normally isn't like this but it felt surprisingly good, but he didn't have time to for this, because he had to see this through and at least make sure she's alright.

Post by: Lance Korilum on August 28, 2015, 11:39:29 PM: While everyone else had just been in awe, afraid, or shouting, Cero made his decision. He took the elevator straight up to the top floor where Yukino was. When he reached the top floor, he dashed, turned Yukino around, and grabbed her by the shoulder. Raising his other hand, Cero glared at the broken shell that was once his rival. He wasn't going to let go, no matter how much Yukino tried to struggle.

"I can't believe someone like you was ever able to defeat me," he said, glaring with the intensity of lightning. With this, he took his raised hand and smacked Yukino. "Wake up, you fool!"

Post by: Azuki Frappé on August 28, 2015, 11:42:45 PM: Hearing rumors about someone attempting to suicide at the Construction Site, Ighanna arrived to join the commotions. However what she saw was Yukino high up above along with many familiar faces from Neo to Satoshi, they all seemed to be yelling for her to calm down.

"Mr. Espoir, there you are. Would you like a helicopter to get Yukino-san down from there or would you rather inflate a bouncy bed, right now our priority is guaranteeing Yukino's safety so even though she might want to jump down, I cannot fufill that request for her." Ighanna talked to Mr. Espoir who stepped out of the limousine.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 29, 2015, 12:23:22 AM: "Oh no..." Yukino panicked when more people came around to yell convincing reasons of why not to do it. These people didn't understand how hard being the Chosen Sword was, so who were they to judge?! This isn't like her?! She's stronger than this?! She'll get stronger than this?! These people were all more insane than she was awhile ago, yet her pulse accelerated through the roof, standing up that high. Everyone looked like ants... so, so insignificant. They looked better that way - it was an excuse to not listen. She wanted an excuse to put their voices out of mind.

"Yugure!" Ezel shouted.

"Stop!"

The queen was promptly smacked by Cero's arrival to the top beam, nearly losing her balance, but managing to break from his grip at the same time. She began crying, nursing her cheek.

Dad Espoir noted the number of people around attempting to halt his daughter through words, but as they stood, they wouldn't reach this far away. Ighanna's arrival caught his attention, but so did the construction workers lowering the platform to start making their way up there themselves. "Neither will be necessary, we're going up", he answered, pushing employees to the side.

"Oi, brats! Follow me!"

Post by: Jello on August 29, 2015, 12:30:46 AM: We're going up...?

Haruka's feet were moving at fast as they would carry him to keep up with the lion. However this time around, it wasn't something he wanted to just disregard. His love was up there, even under those circumstances...

"Cero, you're going right off of that beam if you lay another hand on her..."

I can handle that bit.

Haruka shakes his head, landing on the platform behind Mr. Espoir. He sees people all around him, attempting to bring Yukino back down safely.

Satoshi, Haruki!? Jellal is here too... Ighanna is also showing up. Neo too, even. Cero was already up there, and it looks like Makuto had joined the chant. He breathed in deep before falling to his butt on the platform and staring up, awaiting for the ride up. His legs were wobbly as it was, but the sky awaited for him. And too does his dear, Yukino.

"We're on our way..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Lance Korilum on August 29, 2015, 12:39:35 AM: Cero looked down upon the shell that now lay before him. He noticed several others coming up, lead by a massive figure of a man. He heard Yukino's boyfriend shouting at him. Looking back, he simply scoffed at Haruka, before returning his gaze to the mess at hand.

"What would dying change? Look. Unlike me, you're not alone. You have people who count on and believe in you, who care about you for the person you are, not your destiny. If you can't walk a path alone, there's no harm in asking others to help bear the load. If they're your friends, it's not a burden. Quit acting like you're a liability because that's what makes you one. Stand on your own, lean on others, whatever it is you have to do. Just know that giving up on everything is never the best option," and with that Cero turned away and took the elevator back down, leaving the 'experts' to deal with the situation.

Ighanna requested to her father's assistant and soon after everyone travels up the fully loaded platform, her crane arrives. She quickly gets on the far end of the crane, hanging out and orders Alfred to elevate it. At first she swayed a little bit so she kept herself low and stable as the tip of the crane finally elevated to the height where Yukino was at.

"Metatron what should I do, what should I do!" Ighanna worriedly and urgently asked Metatron who seemed to guide Ighanna to leave Yukino with the rest of the people. Being crowded on a beam would apparently make her feel uncomfortable.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Cherry on August 29, 2015, 12:52:09 AM: "What would you know...?" Yukino choked on her tears at the king's words of wisdom. "My destiny is all that mattered... There's no room in this world for Yukino Espoir... Just Yugure... The Chosen Sword who's only a liability and a failure...! A sword can't just choose to lean on people, a thing isn't supposed to share this!"

Dad Espoir, along with several others, arrived at the highest point on the lift. The lion made a mental note to kill the European King later, for now, he had his daughter to focus on. The queen noticed everyone approaching, and quickly ran off to a corner of the beam structure that wasn't as easy to jump to. She almost fell off, but kept her balance.

"Go away! Leave me to die! I don't want to live as a useless object anymore!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: NeoBuster on August 29, 2015, 01:12:00 AM: Walking to the top with Dad Espoir, Neo was thinking about everything Yukino was doing.

"This isn't the way things should be" Neo said to himself

Neo could probably relate to this type of situation, but he would have never gone this far.

We all made it to the top. Neo then walked forward and said what he wanted to say to Yukino

"Yukino.." Neo said holding her shoulder. I know that the pain hurts, I know that it seems like it will never end. But know this: All of us up here, and all of the people down there don't want to see you go through this. No one wants to see you take your own life. All of your friends and family would be in even more pain if you were gone from there lives. I know things are hard with the clans vanishing, and then trying to bring them back with no simple solution but you have to stay strong. You feel like your allowed to have a shoulder to cry on, but the matter of the fact is, everyone always has a shoulder to cry on when things get rough. When you just want to let out all of your emotions."

At that moment Neo thought about his own emotions with him trying to find his parents but didn't think about it too much while trying to focus on talking to Yukino.

"All of us are together, none of us are alone. Sure there are going to be times when we feel alone in a crutical situation, but if you think deep down, none of us are ever alone. All of us are working together to find the sealed clans to bring them back where they rightfully belong. But you have to stay strong intil that happens. As for anything else you might be going through, I dont know much about it, heck we barely know each other but I consider you a good friend and as a friend, this is something I dont want to see you go through." Neo said to Yukino taking his hand off her shoulder.

Neo then took a step back waiting for the next person to speak
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: OverDrive on August 29, 2015, 01:32:01 AM: Tsubasa would have preferred if they had found a way to talk to her in a different area but unfortunately Yukino was too unstable to be moved elsewhere. Upon arriving at the top Neo and Cero take their chances to convey to Yukino how they feel about her situation. Throughout the conversation Tsubasa notices something strange, she kept referring to herself as Yugure, The Chosen Sword of Vanguard, she referred to herself as a thing....

Tsubasa walks up to Yukino

"....Do you honestly believe that everyone here came for Yugure?..." he asked. "We all are here to make sure that our friend Yukino does not go through with something that will not only end up hurting us all but will ultimately be the worst decision for you to make..ever."

"...Your destiny is not what matters to us, it may be your ultimate goal and that may be why everyone here sees..'Yugure' as a symbol of hope and courage,...but...that's not what matters to us, you matter to us Yukino, to your family, to your friends...even your avatars, Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark, you matter to them as well." he said, with a sincere look in his eyes, something Tsubasa was never used to revealing but a friend was worth it.

"...I'm here for Yukino, Yukino Espoir, they all are...I may not know much about you, but I understand how hard it must be, we all go through our share of pain..." he said, as he handed her a tissue paper and began walking away turning his back to her as he continued. "..The world does not revolve around Yukino or Yugure only, it revolves around everyone...so please understand you have people who care about you and are ready to help you when you need them." he said.

With that Tsubasa steps back a bit more and stands next to his friend Neo.

"..Heh...I guess your tip to keep some spare tissues ready was helpful this time around...Dad" he thought. "..I hope she makes the right choice."

Post by: Azuki Frappé on August 29, 2015, 01:40:08 AM: Unable to comprehend with what was going on, Ighanna relied on her gut feeling and stood up on the thin crane, approaching the platform and Yukino. She begged for Yukino's safety and prayed for everyone to succeed in calming her down.

"Metatron, could you please help Ezel and Garmore stop Yukino? I'm weak as I currently am and I doubt I'll be of help so please Metatron, for the sake of Royal Paladin, Shadow Paladin and Gold Paladin please bring Yukino back to her senses." Ighanna pleaded her avatar as Metatorn reassured everything will be fine.

Post by: Spectre Diamond on August 29, 2015, 01:49:30 AM: After Tsubasa came back to the group, Hikaru slowly balanced himself on the beam to get to a safe distance to chosen sword....No...Yukino so they both won't fall down to their deaths.

"Hey you know, I was like you once. I wanted to end all when I was a kid, after my parents died I was taken as a prize for the syndicate that my parents were working for. I was going to do it on that very night, where I was saved. The police put me into the foster system were I met my brother...he's gone now, got adopted and everything. The world ain't all sunshine or rainbows and we live in a dark and cold place, but if we push forward there is a light at the end of the tunnel."

"Wherever you are Hikari or Yugure, you aren't a thing or an object. Your a person that is able to feel all sorts of things, don't you remember Yukino?" He then went back to the others and turned to them.

"Take the field"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Jello on August 29, 2015, 01:51:23 AM: Arriving at the top, the first two to take their turns were Neo and a friend of his. Never quite caught his name however... Despite that, they said some rather encouraging things. Even Hikaru gave his story. It was touching as well, describing his past experience with all of this.

However Yukino simply went full scared-cat and ran away. He found himself staring on a beam structure a few seconds later. This was natural for him, anyways. The sky was Haruka's home away from home, so he wasn't exactly worried about being this high up. He calmly stepped along the beam structure, creaks and all, to the corner across the first beam where Yukino was backed up against.

This was the hard part. Words. Actions almost didn't matter at this point. She was too frightened, too fearful to be touched. He couldn't do all too much from this position, considering he only had about a foot and one-half's worth of beam to work with as far as ledgeroom,

"Hoh... Okay..." He got as close to the shivering Yukino as he could, and stood, arm's length out. This was as far as he could get. Otherwise she might jump.

Or push him overboard.

"Y-Yukino..." He was grinding his teeth looking for an answer that somebody else hadn't already provided.

"Come down.... come down with me. With us..." Haruka needed the right words but none of them were coming to mind. He simply reached out, breathing in slowly, hoping for her to grab on and come back, off of the beam structure. But that was a longshot at best.

"Yukino, you can't stay up here!" He had to yell a bit, considering the wind draft picking up around the structure. His voice wasn't carrying so well anymore if he didn't use a full voice.

"Please. I don't know why you're up here, and I don't care right now. I care that you're alive and well and with us safe on the ground. You need to trust me, trust us. Like we trust in you." He shrugged like normal, and pocketed the unextended hand to Yukino, attempting to get her to come back with him.

"Please." Even Sera wanted her down.

Tears would be falling right now, but crying might only make her more unstable. The wind picked up enough, throwing Haruka's golden scarf out into the night. A fluttering stripe of light in the sky coated by the gorgeous darkness, with stars stitched across its canvas to match.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Beryl on August 29, 2015, 02:09:50 AM: Satoshi stood on the beam behind Haruka, wind whipping at his coat. It was strange. He was so high off the ground, and yet moving on this structure, suspended hundreds of feet above, felt as natural as ever. He stepped forward once, then paused to look over Yukino as she cried. He shook his head, sitting down on the beam, swaying his legs a little.

"Y'know...I've told you several times over that three months ago, I didn't know what I was going to do with my life. I came to the city expecting easy answers, assuming life was just going to follow the path my parents expected it would. But for about two weeks...I had no clue." He looked down below him. "I was scared, worried I had overestimated my purpose. I had been raised to do hard work, so having nothing pressing to do in front of me was nerve-racking. I thought I was going to end up stuck in a butcher's shop before long, trying to do something for myself."

He looked over at her, nodding once. "Then I met you at Card Capital. Man, you were going through there all high and mighty, calling yourself 'Hikari, the Chosen Sword,' and smashing people's faces in. Even if it was cocky, it was cute, and I wondered if you would even give someone like a commoner the time of day." He chuckled. "What amazed me is that not only did you do so, but you and I continued to meet, time and time again. I met Haruka shortly after. Such a dorky kid, even if I'm the dumbest of us all. I didn't realize what I was getting dragged into with the two of you."

He smiled, his green eyes starting to water just a little. "But you know something? Even if you had turned out to be as much of a joke as you might think you are right now...a thing, a fraud, a mistake...you and Haruka both, I would've still felt what I feel right now. I'd still have a purpose in my life and be able to enjoy myself no matter what it takes." He wiped his eyes a bit. "Because the two of you are my best friends, and I love you both."

He stood up carefully, making sure to not shake the structure too intensely. "And that's never going to change. Chosen Sword or not, you're still Yukino Espoir. The Snow Flower that blooms with the Blazing Sun." He stepped forward again. "The Snow Flower that blooms with the Blazing Sun and grows with the Earthly Soil." He laughed. "I know, I'm not supposed to be the one that gives myself a nickname, but it brings the whole metaphor together sometimes, y'know? I wanna watch you grow and help you grow the same way Haruka and everyone else does."

He walked around the other side of the structure. He knew she could run, but he shrugged as he approached her from the other end. "I found out what Vanguard and Cray and everything means to me recently. It's companionship. All of the people who are close to me in life...they're the ones that keep me going, day in and day out, to push myself beyond my limits and save things that should be so deeply insignificant to me."

He suddenly squeezed her tight in a hug. "You especially. Thank you for being you, Yukino Espoir. Without you...I'd be nothing."

Following the hug, he gave a wink and a thumbs-up, some tears leaking from his open eye, as he backed away, gesturing to Haruka, who still had his hand extended.

Post by: Cherry on August 29, 2015, 02:58:43 AM: "I... But... Why..." The sniveling mess of a broken sword was lost and confused. A couple of these people didn't even know her personally, yet, all told her everything would be fine... Every last one of them was there for a human being, not for a cracked blade.

"You don't have to be the Chosen Sword if you don't want to", Dad Espoir spoke after everyone else. Once again did his cool composure take shape, simply gazing with his stern, fatherly eyes. The entire clan focused and prided themselves on the birth of the Scion from Cray. He realized this eventually drove her into a fated black hole emotionally, and was his own fault. Now, seeing her cornered by this destiny, it was time to drop it. "You're a human being first, a sword last."

Yugure didn't understand... Unable to make it to Regionals, duty was thrown on Hana. Unable to defeat Jellal the first time, the Dragon of Hell took Bermuda Triangle. If she hadn't spoken up, all would've been lost to Phantom Blaster Overlord. Even then, due to her weakness, cherished comrades were stolen away. All this time was spent wallowing in the despair of losing - of being a failure. A sword that needed to be repaired and polished, yet stayed rusted and dull. Yet, today...

"I..."

Today, she was finally relieved of that duty. She was given the blessings and permissions to be a person.

"T... Thank... Thank y-you... I... I don't want to die... I want to be Yukino Espoir... I-I'm sorry... I'm so... s-so sorry..."

The hug from Satoshi was accepted, and she took Haruka's hand. Still trembling with fear and hesitation, hope was slowly building itself back up in heart. The parasite was killed by the words and actions of those who kept her alive after a grueling trial of misery. Lips curled into an awkward, shaky smile, responding to everyone with more gratitude. Even if it was still through streaming tears, Yukino gradually understood the bliss of being human, not weapon. Friends and family from yesterday, to today, and toward tomorrow succeeded in keeping the queen alive.

"Thank you..."

Tsubasa punches the stone wall next to him, sending all the crows and birds around him flying from their positions.

Post by: Hope on August 29, 2015, 03:17:33 AM: A small ball of light appeared from the sky, almost like a slowly falling ball of hope. It overcame the darkness, emanating a warmness that broke through the coldness of the night. It hailed with it nothing but silence, only for a second. It exploded in an instant causing a flash to spread across the blackness of night.

A light purple-haired women appeared on the beam in between the platform and the Chosen Sword. Her skin, glowing like a candle in an unlit room. Her presence was releasing a strong energy that twisted the very hair around her. She turned and looked upon the two who were with her. Her green and orange eyes looked upon the two, and focused on them only. She tried not to look back at those whom she had been longing to see as it's been awhile, at least for her, its really has been awhile.

I'll have a fun game with you guys later... but first...

She took lover boy and leaf boy out of the picture, grabbing both of them by pulling on their clothes and effortlessly throwing them back onto the platform with an imaginable amount of force. She looked at them with her eyes, as if to intimidate them to keep them from standing back up. Next, her eyes turned towards the father as well. While his power was unimaginable in itself, but with a single glare, she created a powerful gust of wind that sent the message loud and clear. She's transcended them, all of them. She moved closer towards Yukino and let out a quick smile to break the intimidating air that she's been giving off.

"I'll give her back to you guys in bit!"

First of all, she slapped Yukino with enough of a power to most likely break a mountain into pieces. "That's for pulling what you just did."
Next, she stepped on her foot and pushed her off the beam. As Yukino fell, Neu snapped her fingers and the rift opened under the falling Chosen Sword, causing her to enter.

"Alright guys, that's all, hope to see you again!"

She suddenly vanished.

Post by: NeoBuster on August 29, 2015, 03:26:26 AM: Seeing Yukino change her mind put a smile on Neo's face. Yukino had her friends and family with her and thats what she needed at this very moment. And Neo was glad to see that.

"This is what Vanguard is, the game that brings everyone together" Neo said to himself

Neo then walked down to the ground level with a smile on his face.

"Yukino, never give up. Everyone will be fixed eventually. Be yourself and never change" Neo said to himself

But just then this ball of light appeared and blinded Neo for a second, but he got a glimpse and it was Neu again. And then in a matter of a second, both Neu and Yukino were gone.

"Yukino!" Neo said.

Neo then grabbed his bag and started running

Without thinking he ran towards for the elevator, but he knew in his heart that that there was nothing he could do. He had know idea what just happened.

"Who was she, what the hell was that portal?!" With these thoughts in his head, Hikaru felt useless in this situation, in all these years this was the first time he had done something good in his life. Is he really as bad as he thinks?

Taking matters into her own hands as though this sort of thing was completely reasonable and as though it were out of the question for anyone else...that's what he saw.

Satoshi stood up, Yukino gone in an instant. Neu had hurt her and taken her away, as though she was still that object she didn't want to be and had just been given the permission to leave behind.

Neu had practically called him crazy...insulted him for being skeptical of her, time and time again...and then she went and pulled this stunt.

The calm, green eyes suddenly had a fire within them unlike anything he had ever experienced before. It wasn't just he who was mad; no, the entirety of Neo Nectar, with Sephirot at the helm, was furious with what had just transpired. Their mission to protect had succeeded until some sort of bullshit deus-ex-machina had taken it away as quickly as it had come. This wasn't okay at all.

Clenching his fists, he screamed to the sky something he had never imagined saying until this point:

"NEU EDELWEISS, YOU FUCKING PILE OF GARBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!"

A sudden burst of energy, a sound of broken glass in his ear as though something had been broken apart. Fuming in the aura of a truly pissed off Guardian Dragon, Sephirot and Satoshi secured the final link, and it was at this moment that Satoshirot was born.

The fully immersed figure's features remained unchanged, except for his green eyes, now marked with symbols of roses. The Mark of the Guardian Dragon of Neo Nectar, now fully expressed with his champion.

He was so sick of this shit.

Yukino +4 AP
Haruka +4 AP
Neu -10 AP

Because of the fusion with Sephirot fully being engaged, the ties to the Rift are now broken.

Post by: Azuki Frappé on August 29, 2015, 03:50:34 AM: "Yukino, Yukino!" Ighanna yelled in surprise as Neu pushed her down into some sort of dimension. Many questions popped up in her mind, where did Neu come from, where did she take Yukino however Ighanna knows it must not be safe for Yukino to stay there. With many depressed faces sobbing over Yukino's disappearance, Ighanna descended down from her crane in hopes and gathered her thoughts.

"Metatron, where did Yukino go to and how is Neu able to disappear like thin air?!" Ighanna furiously questions Metatron.

"From my assumption, Neu probably took Yukino to "The Rift", a place related to the sealed clans but enshrouded in unanswered mysteries. I'm sorry to say I do not know how to enter nor exit that place." Metatron replied trying to calm Ighanna down but instead brought her down to her knees, her head facing the cold hard ground.

Yukino Affinity +5

"Metatron...I need your power...please." A faint crimson wings of sorrow spreaded on Ighanna's back for a short second before fading away. She felt a surge of power in her and upon the sight, she saw Satoshi fully merging with Sephirot.

Post by: Cherry on August 29, 2015, 04:22:54 PM: Yukino and Ezel popped out of a rift back in where they entered from: the construction site. Ezel put her down gently, and she thanked him.

"First thing's first, need to get home."

"Right behind you, Yugure."

The woman started storming off with the lion, who quickly reverted to its state of being in a card. Several workers blinked in awestruck silence.

"Wasn't that guy one of them... Gold Paladin things...?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on September 13, 2015, 07:36:00 AM: A figure in a dull ebony suit walked by the completed building, which had taken the place of the construction yard. His platinum blonde hair ruffled, his pale skin contrasting with his crimson eye's. This figure's appearance was not the most pleasant of face's humanity had seen. He stared at his left hand whilst he walked, this hand he was wearing four ring's on. Each ring had an image that symbolised one of the four apocalypses: Famine, Pestilence, War and Death. The man had collected them each for a purpose. Remembrance. To acknowledge how this world could end in an instant.

The man looked up to the ever blue sky's of Japan, a slight smile visible from him. Amon once more looked to the path ahead whilst recalling about what had happened in the last year. This body was once that of Kurai Tsukino, but now belonged to Amon after he sealed the teenagers mind deep within his head. Amon controlled the body now, and as such Amon's appearance became visible to those around him. Many would not recognise him, and those that did would think of him as Kurai. Even Yuri, Kurai's younger sister believes Amon to be her brother.

He paused in his movement, ceasing to travel. Reaching into his suit's inner pocket, he retracted a vanguard deck from it. This was a deck he had put together during the year that had passed since the chaos at the New York Stage. He was never able to find Neu Edelwiess and gain the answers to the event, but left it behind him, despite holding a grudge against the girl.

There he stood, analysing his deck, next to a now bust construction yard.

Post by: Spectre Diamond on September 13, 2015, 07:54:14 AM: He had gotten a tip that one of the order XIII members that he had been tracking had been sighted at the cardfight training area. Riding on the Oblivion he raced down over to the construction sight hopefully to get this member to tell him the location of the Order XIII base of operations and having one less faction to deal with. He was still exhausted from the fights earlier today but he knew he had to do this.

Spotting a young man with in a ebony suit who he suspects is one of the members of Order XIII. He then pushed the brakes of the Oblivion as it slowly stopped and appeared in front of the man.

"Are you one of them.."

Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on September 13, 2015, 08:12:50 AM: The sounds of a engine could be heard, Amon decided to look forward. He saw a familiar face that had not been met in a year and a few months. It was none other than the King of the Underground. The king asked Amon if he was "One of them".

Amon was uninteresting by this group he seemed to be searching for. He gave the King a vacant expression, before addressing him in a cold, dark voice. "Underground King... why I did not expect someone like you to confront me in a place like this. How interesting this world works, but however I do not believe you have the right to ask me any questions, especially ones that have no answer obtainable. What do you want, King of the Underground" His voice gave away no emotion whilst he spoke to the Underground king perached on his Motorcycle.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Spectre Diamond on September 13, 2015, 08:15:16 AM: "I see not coming quietly. I guess I have to beat the answer out of you!" He then got off the Oblivion and took out his deck.

"Fight me!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on September 13, 2015, 08:21:34 AM: He looked at his deck once more. "Still rash as you were from our last clash. I don't believe you have any idea what you're dealing with, perhaps you and your Zeal might find it quite a shock." Amon turned towards the building and jumped the fence "if you wish to fight me, then follow along, Underground King" Amon began to walk to the centre of the building's yard.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Spectre Diamond on September 13, 2015, 08:25:33 AM: He followed the young man into the center of the yard building. When he heard him mention Zeal he was confused. He hadn't used Dimension Police in over a year. Still he didn't want to correct him as he wanted to be a surprise.

When he went into the center of the construction yard he had immediately placed his starting vanguard on the desk that the construction workers left.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on September 13, 2015, 08:34:02 AM: When they both reached the centre of the building's yard, both individual's placed his starting vanguard on the desk that the construction workers left outside and began to cardfight one another.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: Spectre Diamond on September 13, 2015, 09:45:20 AM: The fight was intense and full of hot blooded emotion as each fighter were going back to back with their attacks and combos. In his final turn he had drew it, his Ace Cosmo Lord. He then dramatically raised Cosmo Lord into the air as a blue light surrounded it.

"Gather the pieces of your fractured heart, spread chaos into the void, Darkness my friend stand by me, Ride Death Army, Cosmo Lord!"

Dark blue light surrounded Asura as it was replaced with Cosmo Lord. Hikaru then used Shout's skill and dropped Anglet and drew. Calling forth Rook and Lady was the turning point and used Cosmo Lord's skill to rest two Death Armies to get the conditions of the limit break ready.

"Break the bounderies of your prison, Limit Break!" A Blue vanguard sigil exploded infront of Cosmo Lord and restood his rearguards. Sadly none of the attacks hit Amon and lost the next turn.

He was exhaling and puffing from the fight and his vision was slowly turning dark but still had energy to talk.

"It seems that the fight's victor is different"

"You...Order XIII...members..are such..tough pickles aren't you." He said to the young man.

"One of them, don't you mean one of me where I took out several your guys."

"There...are..different...factions...in the underground." He then fell to the cold ground as he blacked out from exhaustion.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cero's Contruction Site
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on September 13, 2015, 10:08:46 AM: The Underground King had collapsed to the floor. Amon walked over to his opponent's side of the field and collects up his cards, placing them in a neat pile to the left side of the table. He looked down at the unconscious body on the ground. Amon noticed the irony of the situation. This situation is reversed from when Kurai was lying on the ground blacked out before the Underground King. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Amon debated on what to do before eventually settling on taking the King to a nearby Hospital.

Amon extends his hand to pick up the Underground King, but retracts it for a moment. His eye's slid his vision towards the Underground King's deck. He picked it up and placed it in his inner suit pocket to the right, opposite to the pocket containing his actual deck and deck box. He then reached and lugged the knocked out King on his shoulder and took him outside to his motorcycle. Amon debated taking the bike as well from the Underground King to satisfy himself after the beating he took a year ago.

Amon took The Underground King to a nearby hospital, leaving the motorcycle trashed outisde of the building to annoy the King and stealing his deck to satisfy himself with revenge.

Post by: Lance Korilum on September 14, 2015, 03:33:50 AM: All the preparations had finally been completed. Every room was set up, all the tables in place, and training programs prepared. There were multiple floors to the new building. Most of the lower above-ground levels were filled with advanced cardfighting equipment based on Cero's time in the Slums, though with added holographic effects and significantly more safety features to prevent any actual damage occurring from the shocks. Also on these floors were observation areas to overlook the progress of the fighters. The basement floors contained more advanced fighting systems, similar to those used in the Regional and World tournaments, with audience areas set up around. The middle levels were mid-class living areas, and contained what was practically a restaurant for food. The highest floors were reserved for the elite of the training area, the students Cero took most pride in. The very top floor of the training area was Cero's personal home in Japan, and was fitted with everything he might need.
After checking every machine over to make sure it worked, Cero made the announcement that his new Training Area was now open. Returning to his floor, he wrote and sent out personal invitations to various Cardfighters he had met, including Yukino and Hana Espoir, Neu Edelweiss, Tsubasa Hayato, Jellal Kisaragi, and Neo Isamu.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Spectre Diamond on September 14, 2015, 04:19:22 AM: Hikaru had dragged himself to the cardfight training area, having left the Oblivion their last night during his fight with him. When he had found the oblivion, to say the least he was not happy. The Oblivion was trashed, not to the extent of being unable to work but enough to piss off Hikaru.

"I'm going to skin that guy alive when I find him." Hikaru then went to inspect the Oblivion to check if he stole anything else from under the seat. He found one of his other deck boxes under the seat. His dimension police deck, despite not using it in a while he has modified it to keep up with the competition. he then looked at the lights and they were busted. The lights where going to be in the repairs for a bit but not to long.

He then scanned through the contenst of his deck to find Zero and Zeal and raised them in front of his face.

"Let's go save Cosmo Lord."

He remembered the time Tsubasa caught 'Blaster Dark' and the time he over heard someone talking about the missing clans. Right now thats just dirt under some building because that Construction Site is gone now and something better was here. He texted Kurai: R u coming to the new cta 2day? If so meet me at the gate.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on September 14, 2015, 02:09:08 PM: Amon had received a text from Shin'en. The message was littered in casual slang dialogue, from what he could make out from it, the message was an indication to the former construction yard that had become a Vanguard Training Facility. He had already stored the Underground King's deck in a safe location, so any encounter with that individual would be meaningless. He began to walk to the Training Facility.

After fifteen minutes of walking, He found himself in-front of the gate, waiting for Shin'en.

" What are you dong with Kurai's phone?"

Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 03:42:48 PM: Having received an invitation from the screamy guy, Isabella arrived at the fight area to check it out. The sun beamed down on her white hat, the light reflecting off of the colossal structure coated in class windows. Walking through the pathway and onto the main center, right on the front door of the building, she looked up at it once more. This construction site had been a place of numerous dangerous events from her, all starting with her fight against the guardian of the Zoo who had disappeared after her sister had done a fight against him in Umano. Then the other event was when she wasn't her, but this reportedly the place where she-

Isabella stopped herself from remembering. "I have to forgive, forgive and forget." She ran it over her head again like a magic spell. All around, even on the outside were Vanguard fighters. It as not a beautiful sight to behold, no longer just a poor assembly of steel beams, dust, and rocks. It had become something truly magnificent. Hopefully, this is a place where good memories are able to be made and will continue to be.

Being alone felt strange so she pulled out her phone and texted Harooka:

"Nyello, Good Aftermoon Harooka-san, want to explore the new Cardfight Training Area with meme?? Its where the construction site used to be :o . ISA Hope :3c "
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 04:01:29 PM: Sleep was nice. Haruka liked sleep. Being out late at dinner made him verrryyy sleeeppyyyy. Except when his phone ringtone is the sound of "DUN DUN DUNDUNNNN DUNDUNNN!!," as in the trumpets of King of Knights, Alfred, it's hard to sleep. He woke up to a text message from Hana... Wait what?

"yea sure. ill be over in like, 10 mins. -haru"

After a few minutes of rubbing his eyes and stretching, Haruka got dressed and went over to the old construction site, which wasn't under construction anymore. After two years of being built, it finally turned into a building of sorts. Er, it was big. And white. And shiny. The real question was, what is this place exactly? Haruka's question was answered by a sign near the front of the building.

"Cardfight... Training... Area?" Haruka was skeptical, mostly because it was owned by a certain somebody he wasn't exactly fond of, but it seemed pretty state of the art so he had no criticism.

Good stuff, Cero.

Haruka spent a good couple of minutes searching for Hana, which didn't take very long considering her hat nearly blinded him. The sun was out today making her hat the equivalent of a mirror when reflecting light. To be fair, his hair was doing nearly the same thing. No wonder people were shielding their eyes when he walked by. He thought it was sort of strange at first... well now he knew.

"Hanaaa!" Haruka called out, strolling over to her location.

"What are you doing here exactly? Shouldn't you be doing.. I don't know, er, more idol-esque stuff?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 04:10:23 PM: The white hair was too strong, the boy must be solar powered at this rate. Isabella adjusted her hat in order the shield herself from walking solar panel.

"Idol-esque... ummm, yeah, but there are gaps in my schedule where I can roam around and do anything really." She explained to him, looking around at the fight tables. "This seems like its going to be a local attraction to its town. Like a Dis Meme Land, but for Vanguard I guess."

It was hard to think that the screamy guy owns this place. To be fair, it does look like a hospital and if it has medical facilities, then he might have been able to get help. Good for him! The idol moved over under a tree and sat down, removing her hat and placing it on her lap. A bunch of the fighters off to the side were already looking at her, but she turned away a little and they eventually averted their gaze.

"Hey, so like have you heard from Yukinee?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 04:16:06 PM: Taking the opportunity to get out of the sun for a bit, Haruka followed and sat down next to her. Haruka could understand about gaps in schedule. Nobody could constantly be doing something forever and live. Except breathing. Which you sort of had to do all the time to live. Unless you take breathing breaks? Haruka was going to ask Hana if people ever took breathing breaks but then was instead given a question instead about Yukino. His expression turned a little sour, pulling up his knees and resting his chin on them.

"It's been a year since I've seen her. I've tried texting and calling but not much of a response back to be honest with you.. I thought since you were relatives maybe you'd know actually. I mean, your father and all is kind of really protective of his daughters, I thought maybe he'd know but I was always too afraid to ask."

Haruka admits it. He is totally a wimp. But at least he's a wimp that would admit he's a wimp and move past it for the greater good. He sulks for a moment, staring out at the people nearby playing Vanguard. There were fight tables outside too, but they probably weren't anything compared to whatever Cero had stored up inside the building. Haruka was almost intrigued for a moment, then immediately let down by the fact that seeing Cero might cause trouble for him psychologically. PTSD, man. Haruka just let it go altogether.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 04:42:30 PM: Noticing that he seemed down, she moved over closer to him and took his hands, clasping them together between hers. Then she moved them on a circular motion while chanting, "Feeeel bettter! One, two, three. Stand up!" The she quickly flicked him on the forehead. One of Isabella's idoru magic spells, that was it. He seemed distressed at the question, well in truth, she did too, but nobody really know what happened to Yukino so she had been worrying since its been so long. She gave Harooka a smile and stood up, elegantly spinning and putting her hat on.

"See in this situation in my animays, the guy would fall for the sister." She ran her hand across her hips, very slowly, her figure becoming apparent. "I've grown a lot haven't I?..." Isabella winked and posed with a peace sign, one that she has practiced a lot for photos. She took slow steps towards him and leaned forward, placing her hand on his lap. The breeze of the afternoon blew across the trees, cutting away all sounds and putting them both in their own little world. Her face was close to his, one that was known all across the world as one of beauty. A cute smile that perhaps Harooka would be able to see the other side of was so close to him now. Isabella didn't stop, she kept moving closer and closer.

"Gosh, I wish you were Mi-hime," she giggled after giving off a mischievous grin. She fixed her hat while straightening her posture again, "I've been practicing my acting and stuff, what do you think?"

Post by: AlwaysAwake on September 14, 2015, 04:47:03 PM: Alexander had taken the time to explore the vast town, coming from the direction that lead towards Rijuku residential. He had a rather content look about him as his eyes darted around, spotting the shining building as excitement buffed within him. The air of vanguard games was fresh in the air, people of various ages and skill levels yelling out to their hearts content. Yelling was good when it was done in vanguard at the very least, this was his opinion on the matter.

Walking through the fighting areas he would notice two figures under a tree, besides the legions of scrubby players around him that is. Happily he would walk towards them, having recognized the platinum haired pal of his from Mike's away. No one could reflect light that well besides Haruka! "Haroooooookaaaaa" The young man yelled out as he was waving his arms in their direction in his approach, hoping for him to turn around and it not be awkward if it was someone else.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 04:52:49 PM: Haruka was... not able to think clearly. Whatever conscience he had a second ago had vacated the area, and was evicted by blank white space. Speaking of space, his was being clearly violated and all he could do was awkwardly sit there as heat rose to his face.

What... what is happening right now-

After what he felt like was someone breathing on his lips and something on his thigh, Haruka dove backwards, gracefully landing on his spine. He was now staring at tree leaves when he heard Hana say something about her acting. All he wanted to do was rest because at this point he wasn't sure he could take another torture session. First Tomo-Zo, now Hana? Clearly they're only teasing, but it gets to him a bit too much sometimes.

"Ye-Yeah Hana... Great acting." He rises up at the voice of a clear friend of his. Only one guy had such a foreign accent.

"H-Hey Alex-" Cough. Cough. "Sup'?" Haruka asked, brushing grass off of the back of his shirt. And leaves out of his hair. He could pass for a druid if he wanted right about now, as the red finally started to sort of drain from his cheeks. He still couldn't look at Hana anymore so he simply just avoided looking in her direction altogether.

Better be safe, than sorry. Psychologically speaking. Meltdowns are not cool.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: AlwaysAwake on September 14, 2015, 05:12:50 PM: He blinked, a bit unsure about the situation as he looked at the two, rubbing his eyes as he tried to process what happened earlier. "Ah.... I see. Poor Yukino.." he would look away as he sighed, a sullen appearance as he proceeded to pose theatrically, speaking the dramatic words in French what might be translated as "Oh, young love".

Though, in truth there was a very obvious sarcasm apparent in his words. A small smirk coming up as he snickered before speaking in a playful tone. "Just kidding." Sticking his tongue out for a second, his sight then settling on the rather famous figure before him. He paused, blinking iblankly once more though out of his minds confusion as it tried to process the image.

"Uh.... Hope-San?" Alexander stuttered out, baffled by sighting the only idol who's music he cared to listen to. He began to fidget before turning to Haruka as he mouthed the words "What?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 05:25:14 PM: Haruka proceeds to sit up and against the tree they were already under. Miss Idol off the left seemed to have caught Alex's attention too. In a, er, slightly different way than Haruka however. Waving over to him, Haruka catches something on his hand. Red.

Wait...

Tracing up the stains on his shirt to his... nose. He covers his face staring off to the right, now not looking at anybody. Embarrassment filled his heart and blood rushed to his head once more, causing the stream of red to continue from his nostrils.

"A-Alex.. do you have any tissues or something," Haruka muttered. He was really trying to keep his cool, and that was not happening. It was not going to happen. Haruka was in the worst position to be in for a man. And the only way out was to disappear because god knows these sisters are forces to be reckoned with, having no idea why he got involved with them in the first place.

Haruka wasn't about that life.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 05:29:45 PM: Seems like he fell over. That means it must be good. She jumped for joy and gave herself a mental pat on the back as the practice had paid off. Though it seems that the act had attracted some attention. Someone had approached them now. Would be awkward if they saw all that, though they probably did. He wasn't looking at her anymore, maybe she could keep teasing him. That would be too sadistic.

"Hey! Hello!" The individual addressed her as "Hope-san" rather than Hana so it wasn't someone who knew her too closely. Yeah, that certainly made the situation even more awkward. Harooka turned away, but he really was blushing. She couldn't stop smiling at the fact especially now that he was asking for tissues.

"Well that was fun right? I swear I didn't know how to do any of that until I was introduced to romance movies and met some other idols haha."

She never understood the bleeding part though, maybe he needs to get that checked.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: AlwaysAwake on September 14, 2015, 05:41:56 PM: He kind of just stared at them for a moment, still unsure about how to react though he'd try to open up and move on from whatever this situation was. "Uh, yeah I got some napkins" Throwing the tiny plastic packet to Haruka, not really caring much about the paper itself, his attention focusing on Hana.

"I'm uh, Alexander. Nice to meet you!" Speaking excitedly, extending his hand out for a handshake while continuing to barrage the immediate area with his words. "So you two know each other?" Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, glancing at the two of them as he awaited an answer.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 05:48:14 PM: "Y-Yeah, something like that." Haruka started wiping down his nose and hand with the napkins, as well as dabbing up some small spots on his shirt. Luckily his shirt was already a burgundy color, so the stains didn't show all too well. He could probably get away with it if they weren't looking too hard for it.

He shifted his vision over to Alex and Hana for a moment.

"Miss Hana Espoir, idol extraordinaire." Haruka gave his little summary of her, turning back to face the building. Life was hard for Haruka these days. With a couple more seconds of fixing himself up, he found enough built courage to stand up and look at them again. Man... When is Yukino going to come home? At least if she teased him, he had a reason to tease back. And well, this would actually be an acceptable response with her.

"What are you doing around here anyways, Alex? Came to train?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 06:33:52 PM: "Nice to meetchaaa" She shook Alexander's hand as well. A strong firm grip like Dad-san says.

Poor Harooka was still bleeding, well wiping off the blood now. Maybe she owes him a new shirt, maybe even help him get a blood transfusion if he wants. Pacifica was right, idols sure are deadly. Of course, according to legend, Pacifica's eyes conceal the screams of thousands upon thousands of innocent children. Isabella still wasn't in that kind of league but her development over the course of the year had helped her at the very least. "Satan eyes is some legendary idol ability only limited to Pacifbaka probably..."she thought to herself.

Focusing on the situation at hand, Isabella was in the mood for a quick performance. She had come here under the invitation of Cero, but she didn't know whether he was around or not and didn't feel like barging in without him around. A fight sounds nice, yeah.

"Hey so, anyone up for a game?"

Post by: AlwaysAwake on September 14, 2015, 06:51:54 PM: "Oh man I get to see Isabella play? This'l be great to see woooooow." The young man let out, a joyous air about him as he held the urge to jump around, though, sadly he wouldn't be the one fighting. Yes, he'd ask the nosebleed dweeb to fight instead.

"I think Haru should fight, he might need the practice" Winking at Haru while teasing him about the earlier loss, seems he wouldn't let it go in his own way about Haruka not using Blast Bark correctly.

"But first uh.... Mind if I get your autograph? A photo? Maybe sign a CD one day? Oh oh go out with Haru and have him invite me randomly! I mean, if, if you can or want to later. Don't wanna be rude..." His persona falling back to that of the tireless fan. Seems he was still a teenage boy in the end.

Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 06:57:08 PM: "Eh..." Haruka found out he had no choice but to fight this time around. Perhaps a second chance to redeem himself as a fighter after such a miserable loss to Alexaneder. However his opponent was Hana. Who he was having trouble even keeping his eyes on for a moment, let alone a whole Cardfight. Looks like the only thing Haruka would be staring at is his damage zone this game.

"S-Sure-"

Wait... what did Alex just say?

"E-Ehhhh?!" Haruka walked over to Alex and gave a light knock on the back of the head. At least spare his last bit of dignity, considering it all mostly came out of his nose along with the blood that was covered in the tissue he just threw away. Jeez, Alex. Be considerate. Without another notice, Haruka stepped over carefully to the fight table, placed down his deck and took a deep breath.

Concentrate the on the fight. That's all you gotta do. Don't even have to win, just don't do anything stupid.

Haruka kept a mental note in his head as he awaited Hana for the fight to begin.

Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 08:25:51 PM: In the end Labrador-chan did well against Harooka. Brilliant combos all around and it seems that the fight itself attracted a lot of attention from the nearby fighters who were now a captive audience. Isabells reslly needed to learn when to be quiet with the idol mode. "Thanks for watching minnasan," she waved at the onlookers while smiling.

She turned over to Harooka, the blood on his shirt really obvious. "Arigatou."

Post by: AlwaysAwake on September 14, 2015, 08:33:19 PM: Watched the fight with great interest, taking note of Bermuda Triangles flowing and graceful style. A perfect fit for an idol. Though sadly after the fight his phone would ring, picking it up hesitantly as his mother began to chatter away, he sighed as he nodded to her words and said at the end "Okay, you too" in a defeated tone.

"Good fight guys, but I gotta go, moms calling." He would say painfully before waving the duo goodbye, a bit dissatisfied that he couldn't have a knack at the idol.

Hana AP + 2
Haruka AP +2
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 08:42:57 PM: Hm...? Oh, I lost. That was fast..

Haruka had totally spaced that entire fight out. He vaguely remembers the ride chant for Dauntless Drive Dragon or something, and maybe calling Calamity Tower Wyvern. However anything beyond that point was somewhat blurry and a lot of his responses were vague "hmms," or "right." Autopilot responses. He told Hana it was a nice fight, but he didn't really know if he meant it or not because all he remember was putting down the sixth damage and seeing that Hana hadn't even made it to four. He lost without evening Breakriding. Normally this might cause some kind of devastation or a nasty remark, but Haruka didn't really feel all too bad about losing.

In fact, he didn't feel anything at all.

"Yeah, thanks Hana." Haruka said, autonomic as ever. Something felt wrong, for a moment, but Haruka couldn't put his finger on it. While it would be easy to see how Haruka was feeling normally, he displayed a robotic, vacant expression at the moment, sort of just chewing his lip, looking forward where Hana was standing by the fight table.

Haruka felt a slight blush rise to his face when he came to back reality and saw Hana and all her fans. He still felt awkward about earlier, but it all passed over in a matter of moments. Today was a fun day overall, good memories he supposed. Not a story he particularly wanted to tell Yukino, should she ask, but something to remember if he's ever in need of a smile.

He scooped up his cards and proceeded to lay back down under the tree next to the training center, nodding to Hana on the way over. He was drained in more ways than he could think of, probably because Haruka currently lacked the capacity to really think.

Alexander had left and Haruka hadn't exactly noticed at first, but saw him off in the distance already leaving. Haruka threw a mini-wave to his back before lying down under the shade.

Alexander AP+2
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 09:11:27 PM: Alexander seems to have left. it's a shame that she wan't able to get to know him more, but she will remember him. Haruka was able to exit from the crowd and get some rest. From where she stood, he looked rather vacant, maybe he was feeling light-headed? Whatever it was, he really needed rest at the very least. What was a small audience ended up beig a group lining up for selfies and autographs. She didn't mind. it would give time for Harooka to get some rest at the very least. For the last fan, she wanted to practice her acting again, also making things a little more interesting. She got very close to the guy during the their photo and placed one of her hands around their hip area. The poor guy ended up getting a nosebleed and falling over as well.

" O M G IM SO SORRY!" Isabella jumped in surprise, kneeling down and helping the collapsed fan.
"i'll be alright haahaaa..." he responded back in trace-like state.

What a dangerous power...

After the crowd had disappated, she sat next to Harooka under the shade.
"Whew, it sure is a lot fun being an idol. Have you got anything done over the year by the way? School, a job?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 09:21:00 PM: Hmm...? Hm.... Hah.

What is that sound.. Oh, it's Hana. The fans probably left.

Haruka sat up, staring out. Evening had finally shown up, the sun going down and all. It was funny because even if the sun wasn't there to make his hair blindingly annoying, the moonlight did it all the same. Haruka felt like a walking glowstick sometimes.

"Hmm.. Oh, hey Hanaaa..." His voice was a big sluggish, probably from exhaustion or something. Maybe he just wasn't feeling. He turned to look over at her for once after awhile. This time it didn't really even bother him, she looked like old Hana, just with much more noticeable curves. It's not like she's really anybody different from several years ago. More famous. more mature, more woman. Why should that affect him?

Rubbing his eyes, he finally responds to the question. "I had a job for a bit before New York... I worked at the amusement park for a bit selling hot dogs I think. Junior Year went by quick, pretty unmemorable, but you weren't here for that... Touring and stuff, right? How was that? Meet any interesting people?"

Haruka tried to be interested in the conversation because he'd feel pretty awful if he didn't at least put on his best face for the Idol, Isabella Hope. But that's not who he was putting on the act for. It was for Hana Espoir. Or at least he'd like to think there was a distinguishable difference between the two. Maybe not. He smiled a casual, thin smile like he used to. Before he met everyone. It was the default go to when he couldn't think of anything else, and it hadn't failed him then and it'll probably work for now as well.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 10:41:15 PM: "HOT DOGS!?" Isabella suddenly jumped in surprise. She fanned herself to calm herself down. Hot dogs were the best supplement to eggs. To think Harooka had such an amazing job... After she had calmed, she was ready to answer his question.

"While touring?... No doubt. of course, no one is more interesting than Drake. He's one of the strongest Aqua Force players whom I've met. Speaking of which, I trained with fighters all over the world." She breezed through the response quickly. She could tell he wasn't genuinely interested, but since he was putting in effort, he most likely didn't mind the conversation. She just had to lead the dance it seems.

"I think the best thing is having a hit single from my new album reaching the top fives on the charts." She pulled out her phone and showed him the colorful album cover with tons of mermaids all around. It read, "Weakness is Fin." She continue to speak, "If you haven't heard of it, its generally a happy batch of songs like "My Dog is a Mermaid," "An Ocean of Thirst," "Chocolate Starfish," and "Salty Deep Blue Sea." All the songs were hits, some reaching the top 25." She swiped her hand across her phone, reaching the last song of the album. It's art was a bit different. Less colorful, less upbeat, and more simple. Just a flower on a black background. This was the song, that she thought Harooka would be able to relate to. Chances are he hasn't heard it just because of how he was, but this song has been played nearly eveywhere.

"This song was the one that began an instant hit. Everyone's favorite..." Isabella gave a soft smile. "It's called, "Aurora's Flower" or, "Sleeping Beauty's Blossom." Either one works."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 10:50:12 PM: Hana seemed cheerful. More than he thought she would be, considering usually after a half-baked conversation they both parted ways, not really learning all too much or saying anything of interest. 90% of their conversations had something to do with a fight or Yukino so this was the first time they ever chatted about something not that and stayed on subject.

"Oh, Drake plays Aqua Force? That's nice. Did he get you a new hat?" Haruka asked, pointing to the white one. He joked, but the humor subsided quickly, sort of forgetting the comment all at once. Hana ended up pulling out her phone, scrolling through oddities of song names. Chocolate Starfish made Haruka feel a little sick for some reason, and An Ocean of Thirst sounded like a subtle message to somebody...

Then, the last one. The hit, apparently. Aurora's Flower, or, Sleeping Beauty's Blossom. Haruka stared at the art for a moment, somewhat entranced by it. The art by itself was very interesting... the black background was a bit of an odd choice. Of course any symbolism went over his head for the time being.

"Hmm... it sounds like it'd be nice." Haruka commented, using his arm as support. It's not the he wasn't curious as to know... but Hana seemed interested in showing him this song in particular.

"Why is this song the hit, then?" Haruka asked. He wasn't sure how to proceed with her point, so he just jumped to boat hoping he'd find the question she was looking for him to ask. Maybe not, but it was worth a shot.

Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 10:57:04 PM: "Well the best thing to do is to just listen to it yourself," she pulled out a pair of earphones with a Shiba Inu design from her purse. "You up for it?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 10:59:52 PM: "Hmm...?" Haruka looked over, with a small smile. He had no reason to object. He nodded and took the earphone, moving the remainder of his hair out of the way from his left ear, revealing several types of jewels and earrings laced up and down the cartilage. He gently placed the headphone in his ear and looked over at Hana with a nod, to let her know to start the music.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 14, 2015, 11:31:16 PM: She took the other earphone and placed it onto her ear, though, there was some weird feeling that she always got listening to her own music. Not that it felt awkward or embarrassing, it did at first, but now it feels more or less surreal. Hearing her songs play on the radio, seeing it in other people's playlists, it would get her every time. She would feel it right in her heart, the result of her dreams. Once Haruka nodded, she lightly tapped her phone, and the song played through the mini-speakers in their ears.

It started off in silence, the voice being the one to lead this time. After a few words, a violin, an acoustic guitar, a piano, and a bass guitar would mix into the recipie. The percussion mostly gave slow taps, the drum was only lightly hit, with little rhythmic variation, making the part feel hypnotizing to some degree. The other instruments blended together, creating a sullen, and slow mood. Altogether, the instruments worked to give off the flavor of a fairy tale story, introducing the song's overall main theme. In terms of genre, the song was a ballad. This was Isabella Hope's only love song, the only one that she ever wrote nor wanted to sing.

The lyrics formed a story, Isabella's voice acting as the medium and storyteller. It was about the Princess Aurora whom met her Prince Charming. Both were in love at first sight, often meeting each other in the castle gardens after they had first introduced each other. A young flower bloomed with their romance, and they had shared happy memories.

With a hand in her hair, so very fair, the flower blossomed.
The two lovers then danced among the garden, their hands tied together.
It kept of growing, budding, their emotions were moving, causing the wheel of fate to turn.

Then the bass had signaled the turn to tale, the violin increasing in pitch, marking a dramatic contrast with the guitar. Isabella's voice stayed in the center, hers acting as the balance between the two, revealing the struggle of the two lovers to stay together through the tough time. It was then that the witch had come to curse Aurora and take her from the Prince. It was then that flower had stayed still as their love was taken to a twist. They knew each other and their feelings were true, but a song asked... But how far has it gone?

In the castle a broken clock lie, time had stopped moving.
There was no longer dancing in the garden, a bittersweet goodbye.
To the lone flower that halted blooming.

It was then that princes decided to save the princess from the spell. The problem was that he didn't know how. He was told that it would work, in every fairy tale it was what without a doubt would work. The true love's kiss would save the princess, that is what he was told. He was told that if were to achieve it, they would live happily ever after. Background voices now entered the song, answering to Isabella's storytelling of the Prince's quest.

So he climbed the tower!
But the flower still did not bloom.
He fought for her heart.
But the flower still did not bloom.
He reached her side.
But the flower still did not bloom.
...and he kissed her lips.
But the flower still did not bloom.

The Prince kept on trying, he kissed her over and over, each time trying to put more of his emotion and feelings into it, but it was no use. Their love was broken when they had just met. Their feelings stopped flowing the moment that Sleeping Beauty had entered her slumber, and the Prince had never truly fallen in love. The missed opportunities caused by their separation, the flower that symbolized their feelings towards one another, and the failure that lie at its end. The ballad ended with a tragic conclusion. Tragedy had struck when their love had just begun, if only it were later on. The promises that they made had become made in vain, and their emotions were thrown away.

See the end... Aurora's Flower had withered away.
The Prince, unable to break the spell, dance next to another flower that bloomed.
... but the Princess was now forever the Sleeping Beauty.

After that, all forces of the song stopped in unison, leaving nothing but silence...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 14, 2015, 11:56:31 PM: Haruka listened intently. Hana wasn't asking him to listen to just the song, but grasp a message. And a message was what he got, hitting him harder than the force of a million light years worth of existence weighing down on him. His eyes started to burn halfway through the song, starting to get the gist of all of it. Every note and melody fused with Hana's voice was simply pleasant from the get go, but when he listened to the words more deeply... when Haruka finally understood what the song was trying to get at. When Haruka felt his heart beating in his chest harder and louder. He gulped at the final verse. Everything started to fall apart it felt like...

He sat there, breathing. In, then out, in, then out. he wasn't simply listening to a song. He was hearing something he was living already. A love that bloomed all too quick and disappeared without a trace...

This made him think of Hana and Miyuki as well. It couldn't be that the song was written for no reason at all. It wasn't just a song for the fans to listen to when they want to sob at night. That's not what this was at all.

The pale palisades that were Haruka's face, the mask he had formed... it broke all too suddenly. Two streaks of moisture ran down his face, illuminated by the moon's graceful white light. The shade from the tree had left them in a near spotlight under the dark sky. Haruka's face did not contort when the tears fell. Instead, it broke into a small smile. It wasn't thin, like the fake one's he posed. It wasn't large, like the one's he got when he was fired up. It was an honest one. It was a gentle one. This was the way Haruka had been feeling for little over a year and the composition left Haruka speechless. He looked over to Hana, as he was shaking a bit from the crying. He tried to stop but it might just make things worse. He took out the earbud, taking a deep breath.

"It was.... lovely." He said, laughing a bit through his awful ruse. He was obviously upset, but at the same time, relieved of a burden, and happy Hana would share this song with him. Whether or not it was the right time, there probably was never going to be a truly better time. Emotions were stirring in his chest and his heart and his head all at once and all he could do was laugh and cry and smile because that's all he knew how.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 15, 2015, 12:14:36 AM: Harooka's reaction wasn't anything different from the usual. The authentic feeling of emotion in Isabella's voice that was conveyed in the recording couldn't have been possible from some amateur who needed to practice her acting. The emotions really were authentic. She was crying as she sang when the song was recorded, and she always does, even in concerts. It was the song of how she had truly felt over the past year, the happiness that was the theme of the rest of the album hiding her true feelings. It was the last song of the album, the last thing that she wanted on her mind. Despite that, it was the most prevalent. Harooka would understand the feeling of the song, seeing as how he had Yukino.

Looking at the state he was in, she was both glad and in worry. For a fact, he had certainly come across a revelation. The problem was how deeply it would affect him, or whether it was positive or negative. She put an arm around him and pat him on the back, not as a tease, but for genuine comfort. She sighed as she sat next to him under the tree, the breeze continued blowing and the moon had risen.

"Thanks... People would never understand just by hearing about it. The experience is what gets them to understand, thanks for listening, I really appreciate it." It was a waste that they really didn't get to go inside the building itself, but the quality time was well worth it.

"I have to head home now and check on some stuff, thanks for spending the day with me."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on September 15, 2015, 12:23:37 AM: Something warm touched him but he wasn't sure at first. He open his eyes that were previously shut. It was Hana, an arm around him. It was a nice feeling, different than the passion of love that Yukino gave, but a feeling of connection. Hana and Haruka were similar in this and probably this aspect alone. Loneliness.

He sat there, taking in the evening breeze as his thoughts introduced the peaceful evening. As Hana decided it was time to take her leave, Haruka came to the same conclusion. A rose up, dusting off his pants and sniffling a little, the last of tears coming to a halt at his cheeks, wiped away.

"Yeah, anytime Hana. It was good times..." He stopped for a moment before adding on, "Er, and thanks again. Its been awhile since I've had a day like this." With that, he ended his rambling.

He waved to Hana, stretched and they went their separate ways. He doesn't know why to this moment she asked for him to come and hang out, and whether or not the two will ever really know what each other is like as a person. With actual words to each other. But, even if they never become closer than today, Haruka found a friend in Hana. He found a little piece of haven for the evening. And for that, Haruka was grateful.

None of them were particularly interesting to him, all lacking the potential he was searching for. They weren't bad by any means, they just weren't good enough. Disappointed by the lack of results so far, even if it had only been a few days, Cero decided it'd be for the best to find someone fairly new to the game outside of here, and to mentor them from almost the ground up. Exiting the building, he set out in search of a worthy apprentice.

"W-What is this?" she says as she sees a lot of fighters inside the building cardfighting non-stop, while moving inside, a man comes closer to her, "What is your business here?" the man asked, "I-I want to become stronger!" she replied with a serious face.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 20, 2015, 02:31:05 AM: After returning from his failed attempt at finding someone worthy of being his apprentice for the second day in a row, Cero had returned to his personal floor. He had continued to meet disappointments over the past year. The building took longer than expected to open, and most of the cardfighters here had been disappointing, lacking both talent and potential. However, as he was getting comfortable, one of the staff members paged him saying there was a new arrival, something that Cero usually wouldn't have bothered with. This time was an exception. Deciding to personally greet this new arrival in hopes he would not be disappointed by whoever it was, Cero went to the edge of the building, and pressed a button with his heel. An area on the roof opened up, and a horse from the floor below rose up. Climbing on to the horse, Cero galloped off the edge, riding along the wall straight down to the bottom, the wind blowing, and the very laws of physics not daring to defy the King. He landed right next to the woman who had approached the building.

He looked down from his horse at her. Although initially seeming to be nothing out of the ordinary, Cero sensed something different about her. Perhaps this woman was worthy of being his apprentice. "You, follow me. We're going to Cardfight," Cero said as he rode his horse into the building, straight to an elevator inside that would lead to one of the special arenas within the building.

Cero shouted, and, pointing his finger at Elizabeth, he continued, "And I give this offer to you: Become my apprentice and reach the heights of your strength!", "Cero Kirguis huh..well nice to meet you Mister Kirguis" she replies with an excited face.

She had been able to defeat him, something that hadn't happened often over the past year, and he could feel that she had even more strength hidden within her. "What's your name?" Cero asked, intrigued by her abilities.

"My name's Elizabeth Nakagawa, what's yours?" the woman responded.

"I am Cero Kirguis, Europe's King of Vanguard!" Cero shouted, and, pointing his finger at Elizabeth, he continued, "And I give this offer to you: Become my apprentice and reach the heights of your strength!" Elizabeth, although initially surprised, accepted the offer.

A rather enormous structure at that. There were a couple fighters outside, dueling with one another with anger and ferocity. Taking a moment to think, Yugure recalled that Europe's King of Vanguard purchased this land. ... Wait, the European King! A much worthy soldier necessary for the upcoming war. ... Was he even here, however? She would think he went back to his homeland, however, he could have come back for this place.

Post by: Lance Korilum on September 22, 2015, 01:39:57 AM: Looking out over the starlit cityscape from the rooftop, Cero had been lost in thought. He may have an apprentice, but so few people worthy of challenging him had accepted the invitations sent out. As he looked out, he noticed a figure approaching under the spotlights. It was a woman, a vaguely familiar one, yet one he hadn't seen in quite some time... Yukino Espoir! That's who it was! Once again, Cero pressed the button with his heel, taking his horse down the building to greet her.

Galloping over, he shouted at her, "Yugure Espoir! I take it you've come here in response to my invitation. It took you long enough."

Yugure informed him of the reason why she never heard of it. The concept of breaking away from weakness sounded fine in itself, yet, somehow, she expected Cero to turn it into more than that. Garmore would probably be proud of him for making up somewhere the king felt he had purpose in. In fact, he was.

"So a training facility", the woman deduced.

Every program was written by yours truly! Now, my question is, if you weren't here because of the invitation, why are you here?" Doubting Yukino would go anywhere without a reason, especially now that she was holding herself so differently from one year ago, Cero wasn't exactly sure why she was here. Had it been by accident or had she been searching for something?
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on September 22, 2015, 03:07:11 AM: Yugure sweat nervously at the thought of every training program being written by this lunatic. Sure, she respected him, but he wasn't the most sane of leaders. Being insane herself, she could judge fairly. There was probably a vocal exercise program... best not to ask.

"I was wandering about, actually. However, now that I found you, I can ask for your assistance with an upcoming threat."

This would be vital. Having the king and everyone in these practice grounds could be a massive plus to the growing army.

Post by: Lance Korilum on September 22, 2015, 03:12:10 AM: "An upcoming threat?" Cero was intrigued.

As to keep with her promise to Seifer, Yugure mentioned the power to twist the soul and seal. There was still the need to tell those she told before, but she'd like to keep people in the dark as little as possible with what restrictions she has.

"I need your help, and the students of this facility can assist as well."

Post by: Lance Korilum on September 22, 2015, 03:23:55 AM: Otherwordly beings with the power to seal other beings away... This was uncannily familiar. It sounded just like what Neu had used against him one year ago. "Link Joker...?" Cero accidentally said the name of the clan aloud without realizing, remembering the adrenaline, the excitement, the rush... He grinned. Was it back? Would he have the chance to fight the same clan from back then yet again? "Don't worry, you'll be able to put your trust in me and the members of my facility."

Post by: Cherry on September 22, 2015, 03:31:57 AM: "Remember, we're in this to survive first, win second. Thank you for cooperating."

Any confidence in victory would be hollow, and it certainly never came to her once. So trying to live to see a weak point more than anything is their best bet, and the one she put faith in. Things were coming together swimmingly for preparations. Giving a smirk, still expressing gratitude, having an old rival would be a major boost.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 22, 2015, 03:47:38 AM: "I won't make any promises regarding that," Cero replied. At least he was being honest. He cared more for testing his might and overcoming odds that his rival believed almost impossible to overcome than simply surviving. "While you're here, Yugure, I, Cero Kirguis, challenge you to a cardfight!" He pointed his finger at Yukino, then without even waiting for a response galloped off into the building, waiting by an elevator for his rival to catch up with her response.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on September 22, 2015, 04:56:23 AM: Yugure silently accepted. The woman wasn't interested in a casual fight, rather, this was to settle the urge to get back at Cero for last year. Still not questioning the horse, she entered the building, and headed directly for the elevator. The high level technology was noted as useful tools for the future. This spectacle of a facility was quite impressive. Reaching a destination, Yugure walked out into a vast, empty room. Well, almost empty. There were tables far away from one another, and Cero on the other side.

The fight started between the King and Queen, and Cero Kirguis' got to show off revolutionary technology. Units were extremely real and life-like, beyond what was thought possible for holograms. Wishing to see more, the queen proceeded. A year ago, vile terrorists threatened the Sanctuary, leading into a civil war. When Yukino Espoir lost spirit, those same villains fell in her hands. She was wrong to have been using them.

But she disagreed. Yugure and the swordsman of darkness met this way. And now, here they were, all this time later.

Revengers.

Shadow Paladin had a new job - assassination, and even more as a special task group entirely. The traitors were not executed, and they were free of the diabolical Phantom Blaster Dragon. Returning to duty, the black heroes charged forward in a battle against Narukami. Garmore of Gold Paladin was a bit saddened to see Cero still not using him again, after a whole year. Yet, it was expected and accepted. Eradicator was proof of the king's forward momentum through life. Garmore cannot expect him to keep himself down just for a selfish desire.

Yunos told the wolf to stop crying.

Yugure got a significant lead in the first few turns, yet, Narukami retaliated with new, simpler variations of retire. Albeit, cruel. The opponent chose their own retire or it was a direct front row retire. However, just as for Spectral Duke and Chromejailer, allies allowed themselves to be wounded by their own comrades for the sake of honor - for the sake of victory. Even so, they didn't expect Dragonic Descendant. A royal thunder dragon that commanded the new forces, having as much of the Dragon Emperor's trust as Dragonic Overlord did. The Sword of the Apocalypse began tearing through the Revengers.

In the heat of battle, a charismatic horseman grinned.

Mordred Phantom, the one put in charge of the dark faction, helped the black knights measure up to the might of a supreme lineage. As he was played, Yugure gave him doubtful gazes. "To think we would be here..." As if never expecting to work with such a being.

"Do you trust me?" He asked.

"... No." She responded.

"... Good, your honesty is a blessing."

Mordred +10 Affinity

With twin heal triggers keeping Cero in the game, it came down to one of them getting lucky. Unfortunately, it wasn't him. Descendant struck, but his Limit Break never came true. Mordred, who had kept Break Riding, allowed someone else to take the stage in the last moments. A rampaging abyss dragon who embodied wrath... Raging Form Dragon descended. A contest with the blitzkrieg lightning that shared the blood of legend, a clash occurred. Giving everything, Yugure was granted a Double Critical Trigger to end the game in her favor.

He thanked his Vanguard for allowing him to serve once again.

Blaster Dark Revenger, the second-in-command, gave Yugure a pat on the back as the holographic system shut off automatically, having them all disappear from the room.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 22, 2015, 05:22:32 AM: Eradicators... The deck that Cero had taken up to replace Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion. However, the deck never worked anywhere near as well as Vermillion had. Cero was unable to take the lead at any point in the fight, constantly a step behind Yugure's Revengers. He'd never seen her use Shadow Paladins before, though it wasn't too much of a surprise she was able to do extremely well with them due to her experience with both of the other Paladin clans. Despite wiping out Yugure's rear-guards repeatedly, she was able to recover each time like it was nothing, leaving Cero's tactics borderline useless.

He was barely able to break through her defenses until he brought out his ace unit. Despite having had it for almost a year, he had never been forced to actually Ride it before. With the power of Dragonic Descendant, he was able to break through and almost managed to finish the game, but was one trigger shy of it. Unable to guard the next onslaught of attacks, Cero was left defeated to a double critical with only a single heal left in the deck... While already at 5 damage. Salt was rubbed in the wound with that one.

Although he was frustrated, he was also rather glad. His old rival was back to her full strength, perhaps even more than before. As he turned away to the elevator, Cero said, "It's good to have you back, rival." The elevator doors closed and Cero returned to his quarters.

Yugure +3AP
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on September 23, 2015, 10:20:42 PM: Yugure had returned to the Training Facility. While everyone else at Hana's school had gone on a camping trip, she decided it would be best to fulfill objectives for preparations. Battle-ready servants of the Espoir residence were deployed to Umano to get ready for a turf invasion. Others, mostly intelligence experts, came with her to Cero's property. This was a hasty action, considering they hadn't even gotten permission from the King. Even so, the soldier was willing to bet on his cooperation. The manor was not a worthy base of operations. It was either this in which already homed warriors in training, or Umano Slums. Having superior technology, these grounds would prove far more sufficient.

"I need to see Cero Kirguis again", the woman stated to those outside.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 23, 2015, 10:36:53 PM: One of the guards looked at this odd woman, rather confused. Never before had someone personally asked to see the King, it had always been him that came to greet guests. Confused by this drastic turn of events and completely unsure of what to do, the guard contacted Cero directly asking what to do. This got the guard fired for being an idiot for asking what to do instead of the logical thing, ask Cero if he wants to meet with this person. Sighing, Cero got up and descended to meet the person who came to see him. Yugure.

"I take it you're here for something related to the coming invasion," Cero said from atop his horse. The thought of asking where she got staff for her mansion briefly crossed his mind, but he decided to put it off for now.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on September 23, 2015, 10:48:47 PM: The small squad took note of the guard running off, crying. Sounds like he got laid off, but he wasn't reliable if he made an error by just standing at the door. Several people amongst the group questioned the horse and how it defied gravity. The queen simply told them to be quiet for a moment. "We need a base of operations. Sporting your large territory and super advanced technology, I would like to request using this place as an HQ. Of course, we'll make sure to not interfere with the lessons."

If you're going to gather up an army, you need headquarters. You also need an overall chain of command that would come later once key players return from their trip.

Though Yugure gazed toward Cero with respect, her eyes spoke her pleads. A desperate need to get started.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 23, 2015, 11:17:09 PM: She wanted to use his building as a base of operations? The request came as a bit of a surprise. Though, considering the mansion might not be the best base, it made sense since there was a distinct lack of time. "Alright, you can use one of the empty floors near the top, but as soon is this is over, you'll be asked to move out of it." Cero turned to the building and rode to the elevator. He pressed the button that would send them to the right floor, the lowest of the empty floors.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on September 23, 2015, 11:42:45 PM: "Thank you, we'll be gone when the time comes", Yugure bowed, expressing gratitude humbly. The woman turned to the others, who were getting a lecture from one of the scientists trying to explain the horse. After telling him to shut up and focus on the matter at hand, the intelligence divisions began moving in with equipment. The main machines were nothing compared to the facility's technology, however, there were several adapters carried in. They planned to combine machinery to further their technological warfare.

Arms folded, Yugure watched to be sure all were getting in. Only following after seeing the team had it handled.

Walking inside, she spoke: "My apologies for making this sudden and taking up space. But thank you again."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 24, 2015, 12:01:36 AM: "It's fine, there wouldn't be a purpose to this building if human-kind, and by extension Vanguard, were wiped out." Cero took the elevator back to his floor, and silently hoped Yugure wouldn't look over too much security footage. He was unsure what would happen to Hana if Yugure saw the footage he had from the day this building had opened.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on September 24, 2015, 01:21:11 AM: Yugure proceeded to bark orders, setting up the entire floor as their domain. The intelligence division found itself fascinated with their new bounds of limits. A call to Father Espoir was made to confirm the plan worked in getting a more suitable Headquarters. After that, the woman found herself contemplating, leaning against a wall while everyone handled themselves. Not just plans, but how everyone was doing on their trip as well. Giving a sigh, it was obvious she missed her friends, boyfriend, and sister. Having the paladins around were a relief, yet, perhaps it was a greedy, selfish part that wanted more.

Ahmes told her its natural to enjoy having friends around.

The girl put herself down too much to accept that as fact. Work needed to be done so no worries were left when everyone returned. A next course of action could be to deal with one of the rival gangs Hikaru needed dealt with.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 29, 2015, 07:30:18 PM: It had begun. Cero was in one of the observation rooms, when he saw them. The Reverse units, with the power of Lock. This had to have been what Yugure meant. Every time someone with a Reverse card defeated someone without one, the loser gained one. He hadn't seen anyone be capable of defeating one of the Reverse cards, as if the act of merely having the card vastly increased the fighter's skill. He frowned, remembering Yugure's advice. She said to focus on surviving, not winning, but just seeing the power of this Reverse had Cero shaking in anticipation. He descended from the observation room and entered the floor with the highest concentration of Reverse fighters.

"All of you with the power known as Reverse, come at me!" He shouted his challenge, and a horde of fighters with an ominous glint in their eyes turned towards the man known as Europe's King of Vanguard. They had no doubts he was strong, and several abandoned their current opponents in favour of the King. Cero looked down at this abomination, taking out both of his decks. Eradicators and Liberators. He prepared to fight each and every one of these fighters, grinning in anticipation of the challenge he hoped to face.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 30, 2015, 12:30:18 AM: It had been hours... Hours spent cardfighting multiple opponents at once, without any breaks. Every time Cero defeated one fighter, it was as if two more got in line. There was no end to them, and every fight was exhausting. Although at first it had been fairly simple, the fatigue was getting to him. He was barely winning each fight now, but he couldn't leave. He had learned that defeating one of the Reverse fighters caused their card to disappear, along with the malicious intent they had. Every fighter that didn't have a Reverse unit was told to evacuate, leaving Cero as the only person on the floor, maybe even in the building, capable of fighting them off. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he himself fell. Panting, Cero stared out at the number of fights that were still Reversed. He had barely made a dent in their numbers... How did they manage to get this plentiful in such a short amount of time!? Rising back up, Cero readied his Eradicators. He would remain defiant until the very end, with the soul of Vermillion and the power of Dragonic Descendant on his side.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 30, 2015, 01:12:50 AM: "What a pain..." She breathed heavily as she conjured four panels once again, one for each deck and fought through the fighters along the Cardfight Training Area. After a few rounds, she ran through the outside area and into the building itself. Their numbers were endless, but that was to be expected, especially with the function of this place. A large concentrated number of fighters here were no surprise, more or less, it was expected.

"We have to keep at it..." Hana said as she pushed through the numbers of fighters.
"Don't push yourself..." Meer warned.

Eventually, she reached a room where she was able to distinguish an ally among the many enemies. "Screamo-kun!" She called out to him, as she pushed past the fighters and joined him in the battle, using her ability to once again conjure up the panels and use all four of her decks.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on September 30, 2015, 01:20:30 AM: After the failed attempt at bringing Hana to his side, Darren needed time to recover. The situation was so bad that Daiyusha himself inflicted damage upon him, something that would never be able to happen twice. He spent the time hiding in the dark, observing the resistance to his salvation. All he wanted was to spread this power so that it could be used to battle the invaders who brought it here. Fighting fire with fire. Daiyusha told him this was the best way to save the world and there was no way he could be wrong, was there?

Hana's words still bothered him, the idea that power came through bonds. Daiyusha's words came to him next like a devil contradicting an angel. Daiyusha reminded him that he has no such bonds and that Hana's are many. There was truth to those words. It didn't matter now. He was watching the ones given his power battle. Watching them all... losing to that European Champion that Noel fought and defeated. Seeing this was making him doubt more. If this power was so great, why were these people defeating it? That didn't make sense at all.

Justice is not to be questioned... It is to be carried out, unconditionally... Daiyusha spoke to him. Darren was becoming unsure, and the uncertainty caused his head to pulse in pain again as the Aura of his deck grew stronger. We have come too far for you to be deceived by our enemies! You heard what the Princess said. We are their enemies until they come to our side. There is only one way that will happen...

Power... Darren responded, marks appearing on his face to indicate he was further under the control of the Reverse. Should it be that one first? The European Champion? His power increased by the Reverse would create a strong ally.

I agree... Perhaps adding his power to ours will help us to take the Princess.

I still don't understand how this is justice... forcing others to do these things against their will...

Justice is dictated by those with power! Only the strong can determine what is just! Our cause is to make everyone strong with that same power! How is that not justice?

Maybe... I'll trust you on this. You are the hero.

Darren stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself as he looked for Cero. Cero, the European Champion! If you are here, I challenge you! You said you were powerful, so come and show me what you can do!
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 30, 2015, 01:26:25 AM: Cero was running out of strength... He was on the verge of fainting, yet he continued to fight. Hope and time were running out, and darkness was taking over. However, mere moments before Cero was prepared to accept his fate, he heard someone shout a name he hadn't heard in a long time. Hana! Cero's eyes shot wide open in surprise. How did she manage to even get into the building, let alone make it here? And how was she making those panels? Time for questions later. Time for fighting now.

"I've been at this for hours, I can't keep it up... We have to fall back!" As much as it disdained him, he had to admit it. There would be no point in falling here, they had to get out. There was only one way he could see, the elevator. Going down would just lead to a trap, so they had to go up and get out a different way. "Over there, we'll take the elevator to the ground floor!" Cero pointed towards it, deliberately lying so the enemy wouldn't know that his actual plan was to use the horse to escape.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on September 30, 2015, 02:28:33 AM: Darren sighed as he realized that Cero was going to run. For everything he spoke about being so strong, he was running now. It was a sign that this was correct. Even if the invaders were powerful, sending enough waves of Reversed fighters at them would be enough to wear them down. It reaffirmed his belief in Daiyusha, that he had to have been right from the start.

Anyone who fights alone has limits. Through the Reverse we can all unite as one large Justice League, and that is how the invaders will fall.

Exactly so... which is why we need more. This isn't nearly enough yet.

Darren kept thinking about his friends at the Cardfight Club. They didn't need this dark power to come together. They just did. Compared to that, there was no fun in this at all. However, there were more important things than fun on the line here. All of humanity, the fate of two worlds... it all depended on the outcome of this battle. Darren still believed he was on the right side, the one that actually had a chance of winning against the one he faced that day.

Without another word, Darren turned and left the Training Area, leaving the remaining Reverse Fighters to do as he pleased. Darren may have been the one to create these, but he was no general. He was a lone Dark Hero on the only path that could save the world. At least that was what his unit told him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 30, 2015, 05:55:22 AM: Reclaiming this place would have to wait until later it seemed. Isabella walked off, wondering if Cero had made it out as well seeing as how escaping to get some rest was his idea in the first place. She looked like a mess now, and surely she wasn't looking forward to tomorrow all in all. The world was falling apart as it seems and it wasn't looking pretty. She would have to fight again on this coming day. May as well enjoy the small amount of rest that she's getting. She fixed her hat and lined up the rims with her head as she walked back home to get some sleep in order to prepare for the next day.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on September 30, 2015, 10:29:20 AM: Although he had gotten separated from Hana, Cero managed to reach the elevator, and by extension the top floor, though just barely. Upon exiting the elevator, he managed to walk to a couch and proceeded to faint. He regained consciousness several hours later, to find himself alone. He took to the roof, and pressed the button to call his horse. Riding his horse down the building, he took off toward the Espoir mansion to warn Yugure that the base had been compromised.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on September 30, 2015, 03:58:09 PM: After the Training Area had been cleared of everyone but the remaining Reverse Fighters, Darren returned to the area. He grinned as he looked around. This place was perfect for him. Every Hero needed a secret base of operations. A place where he could prepare for his biggest battles and do all that he needed to do, and a place to oversee his League of Justice as they continued their mission.

Darren sat down in a chair, looking at his deck as he looked at Dark Daiyusha specifically. The time has come to strengthen me moreso than before...

What can even be done to do that? You are already powerful.

There is no need for Daikaiser here. It will be much faster to use other units. Destroy it...

Darren looked at the Daikaiser units, feeling his heart break just from the thought of doing it. He set the cards down and said, "No... I can't do that... Not to him of all units!

The Dark Daiyusha units started to glow and spoke to him again. Weakness is criminal... We heroes are to stop all criminal activity we can. Weakness within yourself is not allowed.

His body started to glow as he held his head. The symbols around his eyes started to flash as he yelled out in pain. "AHHH! I WON'T DO IT! I WON'T DESTROY DAIKAISER!"

The glow started to subside. Daiyusha knew this was the best host he had. Darren had so willingly let him in before now. He couldn't afford to lose that. Very well... If he is to remain then there are other ways to strengthen me. Find the card reserves in this place. It would have spares. We will borrow them for now.

That sounds like stealing... Heroes don't...

WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT QUESTIONING ME?!

....Very well...

Darren stood up, the markings on his eyes returning as he went to find any reserve cards in the area meant to help people modify their decks and make them as strong as possible. His goal was to make the ultimate deck for his avatar ~~Daik~~.... Dark Daiyusha.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on September 30, 2015, 10:03:30 PM: The reverse worked like a domino effect, the strongest would be taken first, the the weak would be converted in large numbers. The plan here was to get right to the source, the one that caused the black ring which now loomed over the buulding of the Cardfight Training Area. The ring marked a powerful presence of the invader's power and yesterday she encountered it twice.

Darren was within the facility and was needed to be stopped before getting to the other fighters, otherwise he would simply be able to take them back. He wasn't going to get away this time. Hana was wearing a black hat, lined with a white trim along its rim and it was donned with a red rose. She wore her school uniform despite the day being cancelled due to this whole situation.

Reversed fighters scattered around the entrance, and the rest inside used video feeds from the cameras to spot anyone else who tried to get inside. This was their fortress, and all of them were guards whom were protecting it. Hana had to get past them in order to reach the objective and end the influence in this area. She came along with a few other reinforcements, among them being Alpha and Beta. The idea was for her to conserve energy and get to the objective with the least amount of losses. She did worry for those whom she brought with her.

Rushing in, the fights began. She ended them quickly and along with her guards she continued onwards to the building. By using her power to manipulate the particles of light within the facility, the cameras that were on them ceased to function and thus they were unable to be seen by the other reverse fighters, keeping the fighting to a minimum.

She kept going on and on.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on September 30, 2015, 10:10:45 PM: Darren saw the message that Hana had sent out to all the members of the Cardfight Club.

"Alright so you all probably know about what's been going on. I'm sending this out to see who hasn't been taken into the invader's hands yet. We have to meet up. On my way to go take Darren back. Respond if you can. - Hana Isabella Espoir "

She had to have known that he would see it. Obviously this was some sort of challenge. Darren wouldn't disappoint. Daiyusha knew and so did he, it was time to finish what he started with her. He sent her a reply.

"If you want to finish this, I am at the Cardfight Training Area. I've made it my base so it should be the perfect place to end this.
-Darren

He was confident that this time he would be able to win. She couldn't be that much stronger than Daiyusha was now. His power and plan was all that could save this world, not Hana.

As he sent it, he noticed activity. A small grin arose from Darren as he simply said, "The best kind of delivery I could hope for... Our many numbers will slow her down so I can finish the job."

Should we really need to do that? Darren thought.

No need to take chances... A hero needs to use all of his resources, the Reversed hero responded.

And Seifer is unconscious with a red mark on his right eye, probably fighting back whatever is trying to take over and Tsubasa just fought a Granblue fighter with red markings as well and was glowing black and red! He told me a little of what is going on... where do you want to meet up?"

Post by: Hope on September 30, 2015, 10:54:22 PM: "So there's a bunch there too. Ugh. I trust in your guy's strengths. Just work together like in the camping trip. The red and black is well... That's parts of the enemy's power. Anyone who falls to them gets it. If you guys are grouped up we can just meet there tonight once I get Darren. - Hana Isabella Espoir

The message that Darren sent confirmed it. She fought on, using her star gazing power to scan across the building for him. It seems that the numbers of reversed fighters were somehow thickening.

"How did they find us!?" Hana hopped back, preparing her deck.
"Let's dance beautifully." Star Rain said.
"I'll take the lead." Minette pushed forward.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on September 30, 2015, 10:59:22 PM: Darren took hold of his deck, standing on the side of the largest fight table in the facility. He knew she would be here soon. These fighters wouldn't be enough to hold her long. Even if she took their power away, he could restore it once this was done. A place like this where the strongest gathered was the perfect Hall of Justice for him.

"Come to me, Hana. A bit closer and you can know how it feels to hold the power that can save the world. Daiyusha is a true hero and knows how to battle alien invaders. If you stand in his path... you are an enemy of justice...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 12:19:21 AM: By the end of it all, her reinforcement's numbers had dwindled.

"Alpha, Beta. I'll trust these last two to you." She moved onward, her deck tightly in her grasp.

I swear, I'll get the rest back to us later. Should this plan work... we will.

"Roger, Ms. Espoir. Beta, these two are nothing to us."
"Copy Alpha, we will take them down with our strongest units.
"Stand up, Vanguard! Our starter, Pringal!" They both said in unison.

Hana's small steps suddenly accelerated into a dash as her heart beat faster in anticipation for the fight, her stride being stopped by a door which she opened and ran through, slamming it open and entering upon a room with a large fight table on it's center. She had reached the core of the Cardfight Training Area as well as her opponent.

"Darren!" She called out. "Time for round two..." Her deck was quickly placed onto the table as she took a deep breath. "Daiyusha, Darren, the true hero is the one that fights the minions, not the one who orders them around." She was hoping that a statement like that, outlining one of the biggest cliches between heroes and villains would act as a quick eye opener before the fight began.

"I'm ready."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 12:26:24 AM: Darren grinned as he saw his opponent appear. It seemed the legions of Reverse Fighters weren't enough to stop her. He expected this. he was hoping for it. But they had to have slowed her down, weakened her. He moved to his position at the Fight Table before he heard her words. His eyes widened at the thought. She was right... In all of his comics, the Hero was the one strong enough to battle hoards of opponents and the villain was the one who commanded them. Was Darren... the villain?

"My... my allies are not just minions to me... They are a power strong enough to defeat the invaders. You will see as well when you are among us. Our bond will be solidified in this battle!

As Darren readied his field and his hand, he thought to himself, This time, show me which of us is right. Daiyusha cannot stop this battle, so let's see what is truly the way to save this world!

Stand up... Vanguard!!!

Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 01:14:24 AM: It was over.

The Bermuda Triangle were able to win against Reverse Daiyusha in the end after a grueling battle. Hana extended her hand out to him, taking deep breaths due to the aftermath as well as what it took to get to this point. With the main source of power removed from the vicinity, the black ring above began to slowly fade away. The Cardfight Training Area was almost reclaimed.

Almost.

There were still hordes of reversed fighters outside that she had only avoided. Many of those whom she faced were most likely freed from the spell, but still trapped within the confines of this place. She didn't hold anything against Darren, it was quite the opposite actually. Falling to this power meant that he had most likely learned something and had grown because of it. She had seen many other fighters gone through similar things. Plus, with Darren seemingly back to their side, they could possibly gain important information on the invaders.

"Have you found your true justice, Darobo?" She tilted her head, her hands still outstretched, offering him assistance. "Well, you'll have to go with me for after school clean up here."

Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 01:25:16 AM: Darren took the sixth damage. He had been defeated. The aura that had engulfed him and his deck flew up into the Black Ring above before it started to vanish. Darren's eyes widened, as if he heard something horrible before a sharp pain his his head. AHH!!! NOT AGAIN!! The pain felt the same as before, the same as the Reverse striking him, but this wasn't the same. Daiyusha had been allowed deeply into Darren's mind and heart, and he wasn't going to let the memory of this dissipate.

Moments after, the pain subsides. Darren fell to one knee. His eyes were almost blank. He stayed that way for moments, seconds that felt like minutes. All as he contemplated his thoughts. "....he lied to me..." Darren finally said. He stood up on his own, not taking Hana's hand. It wasn't out of pride but more out of shame. He didn't deserve to take her hand.

"All of these fighters... they were being controlled. I wasn't, so I was told that they would be the same. I was such an idiot... and I tried to hurt you because of it... Because of... Daiyusha..." The Reverse units remained there, but they had changed into Ultimate Dimensional Robo, Great Daiyusha. He looked at the units, almost prepared to rip them apart. Then he remembered Goeagle. Goeagle was like an upgraded form of the Enigman units, the units that taught him this game. Daiyusha made him destroy those units without a second thought. He wouldn't do it twice.

Darren moved the units into a deck box, not his main deckbox but the second one he carried. "Daiyusha is no hero. He lied to me to get me to give him Reverse fighters. Fighters who were always meant to destroy the world! He lied!! Even if he was being controlled, there's no way that would ever... Darren sighed lightly, lifting up his deck as he said...

"Hana, I'll apologize later... We have some cleanup to do before I have time to feel sorry about myself."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 01:37:23 AM: She took back her hand and shrugged it off, having a sigh of relief that at least he was back to normal. At least as close to normal as can be in this situation. Noel and Rosalia had fallen asleep based on what she saw with her power, things here got wrapped up a little late. It seems that Yukino and Tsubasa were still awake so she decided to send the message to them.

There seemed to be a feeling within Darobo that gave him a strong emotion towards Daiyusha. Hana understood, it was what caused him pain. She could relate to how she felt about Reit, and Vert... even Nociel and Pacifica back then when they gave her nothing but bad memories.

"Well, if there's one thing I learned, the real avatar is the one that sticks with you anyways even though you stray away from them. Well not really much a need to apologize, but do so if you must."
"Yes. Avatar caados." Meer whispered to her.

She recalled seeing Daikaiser during the end of their fight, he held it in his hand and according to Daiyusha it was something that he refused to remove from his deck. It was also the unit that she knew him for, mainly due to the combinations that he pulled from it, always keeping matches close as a result. "Well, if you try to take back your relationship with a certain unit... maybe Daikaiser, and it accepts.. then that's the right way to go. It's between you and your cards really." Hana walked off through the pathway from which she came from. Alpha and Beta were sitting down and breathing heavily, the two fighters across from them defeated.

Continuing onwards are those left over whom are reverse. Hana prepared herself for a few more fights. "Alright, let's do that clean up!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 01:45:38 AM: Darren nodded as he understood what she meant. Now more than ever did he understand. He had spoken to a unit and it led him onto the wrong path, but he never once lost faith in his favorite unit, Daikaiser. Something about it was something he couldn't pull himself away from, and now he felt like that wasn't a bad thing at all.

Darren took some units from the deck box and changed his deck right there. It happened within moments, like he knew ahead of time what it was he wanted to do with it. He gave another sigh. He would have to live with what he did, probably more than anyone else involved in this as he did it all of his own accord, but now he had to start making up for it.

Now is the best time to remake yourself... a voice said in his head. His eyes widened from it, but then he simply gave a grin.

"This might take a while," Darren said, sounding more like himself now. "Guess this'll be that bonding time you said the club needs." The doors around them started to open, the Reverse fighters beginning to flood the fight area. It didn't matter to Darren though. He would fight and he would do everything he could to make amends to all of these people, as well as himself. "Better get started!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 01:55:56 AM: Without the main energy source and the black ring above the area gone, the fighters were going down in numbers faster than usual. Not only that, but the ones whom were freed from the spell joined the fight as well, leaving her efforts to be able to be minimized, and eventually, she was standing in a building full of reborn fighters, eager to use the facility for what it truly is.

"...to get strength with your own effort and hard work." She smiled as she announced to the group. "We've all been freed from the spell here."

She met with them, not as an idol, but a fellow fighter, also hoping that Darobo would be able to see it as well, the resource that this place could provide for him to start anew and also gain a level of strength that he wished to reach. "Thanks everyone, for all your hard work."

If there was hope, then this was it. A place cleared from the grasp of the invaders, a place where the fighters have rejected the false strength to gain their own. There was a glimmer among the darkness of this battle. Hana turned over to Darren at the end of it and asked him, "So, what's your plan for now? I have to go meet up with a few of the other club members to check on them for tonight."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 02:05:07 AM: Darren was panting as the fights ended. He was able to win all of his battles, no more than anyone else, but he felt like something in his deck was missing. It was a feeling he'd had for sometime, but now he could put a voice to it. Something was calling him, asking for his help to do something.

All of the people here seemed like they would protect this place. It was Cero's place and Darren tried to take it over. He couldn't really forgive himself for that. Still, they were able to keep it safe for now. The invaders wouldn't be able to simply return.

To her question, Darren turned to her and said, "Text me an address to meet up with you guys. There's something I still need to do here. There's something that is just barely out of reach, but with the equipment here I can do it. Right now this might be the safest place for me until I'm done."

Before she had a chance to leave, there was one other thing he needed to say to her. "I'm sorry Hana... I know you don't blame me for what happened but that isn't what I'm apologizing for. You mentioned the power of bonds before and I let Daiyusha tell me that I didn't have any. If I went home tonight there'd be no one there waiting for me. I don't have anyone to call or talk to about all of this. He said that he was all I had so I needed to listen to him. I'm... sorry that I actually believed that. Even if you are some princess or an idol, you're still my friend. And that's something I do have.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 02:13:00 AM: "I mean I had everything, but hey I always felt alone. It just takes one person to have all the loneliness go away." She turned away and walked towards the door since she also had to send off the workers whom she brought with her. "If you feel that you need to do something here then feel free to do so. Even here you're not alone. You're surrounded by these other fighters as well. Plus, the Cardfight Club will be all together and ready for you to return to once this is all over." She waved at him before the front doors to the area closed.

After turning away she looked back up at the building to confirm that the black ring was gone. With a grin, she hopped into her car and let Mr. Tokyo Drift take the wheel. The other workers were sent back home, mostly unhurt and unscathed as well.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 02:20:11 AM: Darren nodded to her, knowing she was right. Just because she had so much doesn't mean she never felt lonely herself. He saw her exit before he turned. The Cardfight Club was waiting, but that man that defeated him... the one with the red blade... He wished now he had seen his face but it was covered the entire time. All he knew was that he was powerful.

He looked at his avatar, Super Dimensional Robo, Daikaiser. He smiled lightly and said, "Now you said you wanted an upgrade. I think this is the best place to gather the parts." Darren has accepted Daikaiser and the Dimensional Robo had accepted him as well. However, to unlock his more powerful form would take something more than a connection. It wasn't even something Darren needed. Daikaiser didn't feel ready. Well, this was a strengthening facility. Who's to say it can't also strengthen a unit?

Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 01:04:39 PM: Working throughout the night and into the morning through enhancing and simulated fights for testing, Darren had finally finished what he had set out to do. He held up the deck and smiled as he felt like he had finally found what he had been looking for all this time.

That took longer than it should have.

"At least its done. Anyway, now we meet up with the others."

Even though Darren said that, if he just went walking he would probably have to deal with Reverse Fighters along the way. Even though he COULD do that, he would prefer not to. He decided to check the garage of this facility to see if he could find something to take him there. When he arrived he didn't see many things he could take. Some cars, a motorcycle here and there, and.... a horse? Why would someone ride a horse here?

"I wanna ride that horse..."

You're not going to ride that horse.

"I'm going to ride that horse."

Are you actually going to try to ride that horse?

Darren went up to the horse, his hand moving towards it as it immediately rejected him, almost biting his hand off. Obviously he wasn't going to ride that horse. He backed away and looked around more, his hopes dashed until he saw a bicycle. At least it was something he could ride. Darren got onto the bicycle as it wasn't chained down. He would have to give it back later but he could just park it where it was. With the city being overrun by Reverse Fighters, no one would worry about a bike until it was over, right? Shaking his head at the though, Darren rode out from the garage to meet with the others.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 01, 2015, 04:32:35 PM: Yugure entered the area of the Training Facility. A group welcomed her back, but it was obvious she wasn't happy. They screwed up - Cero's trainees and her own men. The woman didn't reprimand anyone, yet, it was clear the situation was likely grave. Demanding reports, several researchers led their queen in. They spoke of a boy named Darren, Cero's stand and retreat, and finally, the tale of how Hana unreversed them after handling Darren. That same man assisted the princess, but also did the takeover. A majority didn't remember these events themselves, however, with their technological prowess, events were recorded and energy fluctuations were listed. Unfortunately, at the time, the cameras were out, so they were unable to get exact videos of their influenced states.

"Anything else?"

"Uh..." One of the head researchers twiddled his thumbs. Yugure gave him a menacing look, arms folded, sleeves clutched, and a threatening scowl. This was bad news, and there would be heads rolling if it was sugarcoated or covered up. "While some of us were reversed... we... deleted some of our own data."

Of course.

The invaders were likely the cause, leading humanity to take countermeasures against themselves. There was more nervous sweating when they mentioned it couldn't be recovered. With a sigh, the queen said they'll just have to work with what they have, create notes based off of memory, and replace it. Dismissing them, Yugure began looking over records of yesterday's ordeal herself. Speaking with Darren, along with getting a report of the experience from Hana were both deemed necessary.

"The Training Facility will be our headquarters in fighting against the invaders." Was sent to everyone listed under the Cardfight Club.

Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 04:39:42 PM: "I had a feeling that place would be important. I got good use out of it. Glad Hana and me cleared it out. Wait... does that mean I have to go back now?

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 04:43:58 PM: After dealing with Mom-san's eternal conflict with her avatar, Hana decided to head on back to the training facility to meet up with Yukino. It was as she remembered it for the most part, not under the control of the invaders.

Actually, that was all that mattered.

According to the text, this would be the base of operations. Whether Cero agreed to this or not, plus the fact on his whereabouts lay a mystery to her at the current moment. Finding Yukino despite the large size of the facility wasn't that hard. White hair, eye scar, two basic things to go off of, but many recognized who she was talking about and pointed her in the right direction.

She saw Yukino.. looking over the data? Well..

While a good deal of fights were not recorded due to what she had to do in order to keep herself mostly hidden during her second visit, the cameras should be operational during her first one, and any time prior to it should be available unless that was tampered with. Though, there is something important the should be recorded.

"Looking through files? Mmmm, Darren and I fought on an actual facility fight table, the most advanced one here actually, so everything should be recorded when it comes to that. Also, hello." She waved.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 01, 2015, 04:58:02 PM: "Come in at your leisure, the scientists and soldiers will show you the War Floor. Use this place for meetings. I will need to speak to you later, Darren."

Getting back to the computer, the queen heard her sister's voice. Before greeting, Yugure quickly went through several folders. Thankfully, the fight Hana and Darren had was recorded as the princess stated, as the invaders would have no time to erase it. She shouted over to the distance, requesting any video of their fight be queued up for her. Alfred relayed some useful information, stating that he was told forces utilized by the princess fought Daiyusha. Hearing one of the Dimension Robo leaders having gotten Reversed wasn't pleasing news. Cringing, Yugure simply asked if Alfred could get in touch with Commander Laurel, and give any sort of update on Star Gate.

"Good to see you. I'm overjoyed you managed to take back this place without being harmed or worse."

The thought of Hana being Reversed would one she would love to force out of her mind. The possibility can't be denied, but she'll do everything possible to make sure it doesn't happen. Standing up straight, the queen turned, and immediately hugged her sister tight to confirm her own words.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 05:21:50 PM: Hana hugged her back, closing her eyes and smiling for a few moments before eventually letting go. The concern was much appreciated, almost a congratulations for her effort to her. Getting acknowledged was enough, but it was more so that Yukino wasn't the only one who was concerned as well. She placed a hand on her shoulder as well. "I was told about what happened yesterday and I really want you to know that I'm proud." It's been awhile since Hana has felt it, a pride for having Yukino as a relative was something she hadn't felt in over a year. She was thankful as well that Yukino didn't fall to the enemy hands, that she even saved a friend.

"Mmm, you're so reckless. I'm glad I have you with me now despite the dire situation... I mean, I always had Alfred and his knights telling me that they would, but having you as my knight to fight alongside is much more meaningful." She leaned over to Yukino and whispered to her, "...don't tell them this, Garmore actually gets rather pushy when it comes to being dubbed best knight..."

All in all, she was struck with a heavy concern that weighed heavily on her heart, a feeling of regret that Yukino may go away without her making amends, and also a feeling of regret for not being there for her when her support could be something she needed. Gancelot was sappy, a big sappy tree all the way, but it really got to her. Not only that, but Meer has been talking to her as well, about how to be a True Sister, whatever that meant. Apparently Cray had contests for that? Weird.

"Also about stuff that I was mad at you about like you failing and stuff, I wanna apologize and well, we're working together on this now. Don't sweat it, really because no matter what you do, I'll support you on it! One hundred percent!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 01, 2015, 06:09:57 PM: After Hana let go of the hug, Yugure was about to start an interrogation about how the fight went from her point of view, along with how dealing with the Reversed legion went. Simply taking statements for information. However, what she got was the princess talking first about how she was proud. ... This feeling that the soldier was experiencing didn't make sense. It was familiar, but she was unable to describe it. It was a kind of joy in hearing this, but at the same time, a feeling of undeserving. It was sort of relieving and made the woman uncomfortable at the same time.

"Hmph, everyone says I'm reckless. But when we have no answers, we could do with even reckless courage."

That kind of thinking is probably going to get someone killed. However, Yugure was going to be sure it would be every single invader before it's herself. Garmore getting pushy over the best knight title was a interesting piece of gossip to offer to Marron actually.

"Thank you", was the only words Yugure could think of offer in turn. Hearing Hana glad to have the soldier around relieved stress from mind in thinking her little sister still hated her guts. The Chosen Sword felt more purpose in hearing the princess prefer having her as a personal knight.

"... You don't have to apologize to me, however."

Yugure's expression darkened. "My failures brought grief and misery, so angry toward me is justified. That's why I'm here now, as I'm supposed to be supporting you all."

She really couldn't just stop hating herself for the past.

"Could you tell me about your fight with Darren? And how the Training Facility was when you came and found everyone Reversed."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 06:53:46 PM: "You're making up for your failures which is why I'm proud in the first place." She gave a thumbs up as she walked towards a computer monitor to answer her question.

It was easier to project an image from memory by using an actual screen since the object itself forms light using a combination of the set colors. She placed her hand on it, connecting herself onto it and getting into focus all the while digging up the memories. Chronological order should be fine, so the image started off with the training facility part two from her point of view. She gave a narrative as the images matched as she remembered them. Some faces were blurred our inaccurate, some details in the background were a bit off, but it was enough and most likely better than just receiving the information from word of mouth.

"Well here they are. Some of them were just in a trace-like state. Some had more control of themselves, but either way, no one was exactly like themselves, whether they liked it or not." The picture showed fighters walking aimlessly, but the presence of a fighter whom was not reversed attracted them like a magnet. When a reversed fighter would be defeated the energy would escape them, a good amount would often scream from the pain and end up unconscious.

"It was mostly the same, all the way through, they often came in such large numbers." The she switched the image to something that was more of a clear photo than anything. "Here's a picture of the building when it was totally taken over by the reversed fighters. The large black ring over it slowly faded away as this place was reclaimed."

The image on the screen returned to Hana looking back at Alpha and Beta, leaving them with the last two fighters that were on their tail. She was also sending a quick text showing cheesy messages to Miyuki in her inbox as well as Manager-san reprimanding her bad habits. Hana quickly flinched and it was as if she fast forwarded the video. "Ah... that's erm. Nothing important."

The fight against Darren went about normally so there was nothing new there. "It's not audible here of course, but the unit itself spoke to him and controlled to him as well. He said that Daiyusha lied to him at the end of this all." The large mech had a black ring on it's back and, when it hit the field, the space changed to that of a pitch black void, lighted up by the stars. It was as if they were in outer space.

Dark Dimensional Robo "Reverse" Daiyusha

"It locked its own units to activate it's ability. This one was pretty devastating, subtracting 10,000 power from my Vanguard." The rest of the image played on with how the fight went about, ending with the Meer break ride turn and Iori's finishing blow.

"Mmm... well...." Hana began to think to herself, slowly releasing her grip on the screen.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 01, 2015, 07:19:24 PM: Yugure watched closely, morphing her eyes into swords so it would be transmitted to the hall of her mind for the paladins to view. Their fears were realized when the sight of the Reverse fighters came to be. Yugure, Gancelot, Alfred, and Ahmes all examined the footage brought about by Hana's power intently. The influence of Link Joker pulsated through these people, urging them on to fight, and beat anyone else who wasn't in the hivemind. When hearing about how they would scream and lose consciousness, several nearby confirmed feeling a vast amount of pain, then amazing relief yesterday. Reverse was like an intense gravity, and leaving the host was as if pulling off a strong adhesive tape slowly, and painfully.

The large black ring hovering over the building was extremely worrying. Paying no mind to the last minute texts, the fight between Hana and Darren came up. Hearing of Daiyusha - a sacred hero of righteous justice - lie to his own vanguard confirmed a number of things about this infection. Dark Daiyusha appeared, and locked the very robots he called allies.

"Did you get all that?" Yugure asked the researchers.

"Recorded through our computers, saved, and backed up. We can analyze this."

These machines were something else, having made sure to tape everything Hana projected on the screen.

"So we know that Reverse fighters attack in groups, and stronger ones wielding stronger Reversed units are the ringleaders. They'll isolate themselves and move alone, or lead the swarms."

That didn't explain how the Reversed units operated on Cray, as they obtained power to defy their entire clan, and seal them themselves. How does a Cray-born unit obtain the ability to lock? Could they even retain this ability?

"The energy leaves the fighter, but, the person here on Cray..." Ahmes couldn't give an accurate statement. He was there for Leopald's rampage, but hasn't seen anything else. Something to ask Zoo about too.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 07:33:47 PM: Just as she lifted her fingers off of the screen, Meer called out to her. "Keep it there! We're going to send another image!" She quickly moved her hand and grabbed the monitor again.

It flashed for a few seconds, and the reel was only a few frames, they had terrible quality at that. Hana relayed information as Meer and Minette told her. She said somewhat unsure, as if doing a preliminary reading if a movie script, the words were not hers.

"Dragonic Descendant fought two unknown units. Was defeated. Nebula Lord. Freeze Ray."

The locks were apparent, the units themselves weren't as clear, but black rings on them could be spotted from a mile away. The background was such a blur that it was hard to tell whether this was the battle on Earth or on Cray. Then the screen went black.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 01, 2015, 07:44:55 PM: "What?!" Yugure and Ahmes shouted. This is exactly why she wanted to gauge Dragon Empire's situation, if that image even showed the empire's battlegrounds. If this was on Earth, it was even worse. The swordsman of light was sweating nervously, other knights in shock. They're losing the empire?! Narukami's already taking heavy damages, but the nation is very close to the Sanctuary. Gancelot thought to suggest sending in reinforcements to assist the dragons, however, what would happen if they were annihilated too? The Uber Dragon's defeat at the hands of Link Joker dropped morale heavily.

"Nebula Lord Dragon", the Chosen Sword hissed, knowing one of them. "He's one of the commanders for Star-vaders."

As if a kick to the shin, she furthered cringed when feeling a familiar energy spike. It was easily recognized because it was the same from last night - it came from Seifer.

"I need to make a phone call.", she started. "Inform father at the manor that I'll be on my way shortly. Hana, I need you to see if you can get any representative from Dragon Empire to explain their status."

Clearly, Yugure was in a state of mild panic.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 01, 2015, 07:46:31 PM: From outside the building, there was the sound of thunder, though the sky was clear. Cero, on foot, approached the building. He walked slowly forward, the aura of destructive lightning pulsing with each step. Step. Crash. Step. Crash. Step. Crash. It was almost rhythmic, as the King... No, the Kaiser approached his castle. His eyes still held the same defiance he had before losing at the hands of Freeze Ray Dragon, yet it was different. Once he entered the building, Cero made no effort to hide his presence nor that he had gained the power. His aura flared up, messing with the entire building, causing lights to spark and shatter, and fuses throughout the entire building to blow. The Kaiser had come to reclaim his throne.

Post by: Cherry on October 01, 2015, 07:58:40 PM: "Oh for Christ's sake, what now?!" Yugure screamed in frustration at the building's overall power waning. With a growing migraine, she waited for someone to pull up some sort of feed to reveal what's going on.

"Got something!" A man shouted, bringing up a camera's surviving footage on a large monitor. It was Cero, but the markings on his face immediately told everyone he was Reversed. Lovely.

"We're losing power, fuses are blowing out!" Another one yelled.

"Do everything you can to make sure the facility doesn't go completely dark! Hana, come with me, we need to stop Cero."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 08:13:32 PM: The Princess nodded her head, seeing that her sister was in a state of distress and sent her self out without a question.

"Anyone here?"

It was empty, the halls of the Dragon Empire were empty.

No, this was just one of their many halls. She quickly transferred herself onto the skylines of the Dragon Empire. It seemed less lively than usual... "Of course it ism there's an invasion going on! But..." A feeling of uneasiness came over her. There was an area where she could possibly find one of the representatives. He was unleashed from there, but if what she imagined happened had truly happened, it would be safe there at least.

The Magma Prison was filled with an endless hell fire, convicts known as "Seal Dragons" walked about here according to what Hana was told. The one she would be searching for now would be Blockade Inferno, one of the representatives who attended the council alongside Dauntless Drive Dragon.

Blockade was standing along the flames, his power still fully unleashed. Though there was anger, an uncontrollable kind.

Hana approached him carefully, "Where's... Dauntless Drive Dragon?"
The dragon remained silent, but began uttering a few words under it's fiery breath, "Princess, have you faced a power so far beyond your league that you have been left to do nothing, but kneel before it on your own will?"

Yukino's order along with the circuits bursting took her out of her focus. Something about Cero.

"Y-Yeah... let's..." Her expression was as if she had just seen a ghost.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 01, 2015, 08:14:51 PM: It took him a minute, but Seifer managed to find the building... Somehow. It helped a bit that he could see minor arcs of electricity from certain parts of the building. The singular mark on his face to started to burn as he started to make his way inside, though he noticed something that just... didn't sit right with him. Cero. He recognized him from the Cardfight Club festival event as the laughing man. And yet, here he was, going nuts and probably reversed. The lightning destroying the electronics and building interior also made Seifer understand why the building's power and everything was starting to be cut. The spirits of Mordred and Yunos appeared behind him as well, as his own aura flared up with flames and the black outline.

"Calm down, this is seriously dangerous. That l-" "I know I know. Relax, I'm not stupid. I won't get hurt." the brunette grinned at the spirit before picking up a rock, tossing it up and down a few times before hurling it at the door.

"And that's not stupid?!" Mordred shouted at Seifer as the rock connected with the door, cracking the glass a bit. It'd probably draw some kind of attention but that's what Seifer wanted. There were other metal poles out here so the lightning would lance to them first, pun not intended. Seifer's aura as well would keep him safe from any strays so.

Post by: Lance Korilum on October 01, 2015, 08:37:14 PM: At the sound of the rock hitting the door behind him, Cero whipped around and saw... The guy that wore the Dragonic Overlord costume. Cero was tempted to laugh at the memory, though he managed to hold it back. He looked back and saw a crack in the window. Knowing that he didn't quite have the control to use the power he had stolen from Reverse, Cero turned away and walked further into the building towards the elevator.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 01, 2015, 08:43:30 PM: Several doors in the facility were automatic doors connected to the power system. Since it was out of commission, Yugure and Ahmes took it upon themselves to simply cut through them. Other members residing in the building were told to evacuate. Those workers who stayed behind did what they could to stay on Cero's trail and relay it to the queen and princess. Reaching the base floor through emergency stairs, Ahmes placed his sword in front of the girls as a means to safeguard them. He stayed in front as they cautiously walked about.

"If Cero's reversed, then what could be his warped ambition?" The swordsman of light inquired.

"If said ambition is destroy everything we worked for, then invaders are doing a solid job." Yugure didn't want to actually admit that, but Link Joker certainly knew how to give her hell. Her sword was at the ready too.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 01, 2015, 08:48:51 PM: Upon reaching the elevator, Cero snapped his fingers and the aura of destruction calmed down. Some of the power systems returned to life, including the elevator systems. While the main elevator was being called, Cero turned around and began Reversing the fighters on this floor. Although power had been restored, it would take quite a while for the elevator to reach him.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 01, 2015, 09:00:17 PM: Well that didn't work... New plan. He'd just ram through the door. He'd pay for it later just... Wait, why should he. The facilities kinda broken anyway. Before Mordred could protest, Seifer took a running start at the door, slamming into it and shattering it as he'd cracked it previously. Without waiting for very long he dove behind the closest object he could to hide. Well, improvising was a bit hard but... Here we go? He was about to throw something out however when the aura died down. Oh... Mk. Well if Cero noticed the broken door, he might just assume it was from being cracked earlier. The brunette was in a bit of a bind, however... This might work to his advantage. It was lightning, and somehow he'd ended up on a rubber mat so for the time being he was safe. Who even makes rubber mats anymore anyway? The brunette quietly peeked around the corner to watch and wait. Seemed that Cero was now Reversing people in front of the elevator so that bought him even more time. Yugure was somewhere in the facility to so he had to pay her back for saving his life somehow... Think Seifer, think.

Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 09:52:30 PM: When Darren found himself unable to find anything at the park in terms of traces of Rose or Seifer, he decided to return to the facility. The one who texted him might be able to help in the search and he had already said he would go there eventually. Now was as good a time as any. The bike took him there quickly, stopping at the front gate to see... destruction. What the heck happened here? Darren got off the bike, going inside to see the carnage.

He glared as he saw that Cero was there, but the feeling that came from him was that of a Reverse fighter. This wasn't something that could be allowed to continue. Darren took out his deck and though, This is where it was made. I guess this is where it gets its test as well. He called out, "Hey, European Champ guy! If you wanna fight someone that badly, come fight me!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 01, 2015, 10:39:47 PM: Now that Tsubasa was done with his situation at Seifer's house, he had to go see what Yukino needed of him. He made his way to the Training Facility though the more he got closer the more the clouds looked as if a thunderstorm was happening but in reality what was ahead was truly the most surpirsing, the building looked it was being electrocuted from the inside...

"...What is going on...oh no.." he said, as he ran towards the building.

He saw an opening made by something or someone who broke through a window, from the outside he could see what was happening realizing that Cero was causing all of this, it was clear he had been reversed. Using this opening Tsubasa ran as fast as he could through the window and made his way behind a desk, that had a rubber mat, just so he can dodge the lightning shocks. He was surprised however to find Seifer was there as well.

"What the hell are you doing here??!!" he asked. "..It's not safe here man, I would not want you to get hurt from all this."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 10:59:40 PM: Darren ran in completely after Tsubasa did, watching the glass as he went under the table as well. he had been close to the door so that if Lightning went his way he could use the glass to shield himself. Probably not the world's best idea but he really didn't remember being able to do anything like this while Reversed.

Darren looked up as he said, "Guess that guy is one of them. And here I went to all the trouble of cleaning up his place." He then realized that whoever sent him the text message was somewhere in here. He could only hope they weren't in any danger.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 01, 2015, 11:05:45 PM: Where the hell did these two come from, and why were they in his hiding place. "You know if he saw either of you, you're boned right. I got the only mat and..." the male quietly held the side of his face, over the mark. Something was wrong and he could feel it. In any case."There's not much we can do. Yukino's here somewhere and to rescue her we have to get past Sparky over there." he spoke quietly at the two morons who just showed up and were being very loud. They were probably all screwed now because of it. Well, Seifer wasn't about to become a smokey piece of meat, so instead of sticking around he vaulted out and ran from the training area because now is a bad time to try. He'd have to get to Yukino later to pay her back, but right now he wouldn't be able to.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 01, 2015, 11:47:37 PM: "This is getting nowhere..." The reverse energy was rising up and the people down there weren't doing much if anything at all.

Hana had an image of herself appear, an untouchable formation of light that was a projection of her and her cards. Four panels appeared around her and she levitated towards the reversed fighters, fighting them as Cero did. Four at once against his seeming limitation to only one with his Narukami deck, this was just to keep another big scale clean up from happening. As she unreversed the fighters, she relayed the order to those whom were already on the first floor.

"It's dangerous here, everyone head to the exist immediately onegai~! Hai Hai Arigatou!" She would ask as she fought, "No seriously." then she would add that in if they weren't taking her seriously.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 01, 2015, 11:51:12 PM: Darren grunted as he stood up, seeing that Hana was going to try and take care of everything again. He didn't want her to do it alone even if she was able. "You know I can help, don't you?" It only took a moment to realize that Lightning was a problem, knowing that even if he wasn't hit, the fear of it alone would probably be enough to distract her. After all, he didn't have magical images that let him fight without fear of being killed by outside elements. As much as it pained him to do so, Darren left through the exit.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 02, 2015, 12:18:02 AM: After hours of waiting, the elevator finally arrived. Cero's only hope was that he had Reversed enough fighters before Hana issued the evacuation. He took the elevator, using his power to accelerate it to the top, straight to the roof. Sure enough, there it was: the Black Ring. With the knowledge he had gained from his Reversal, he knew what its purpose was: A gateway between dimensions. Cero stared, and his aura flared up once again, lightning surging with the ring. He believed that if he forced the gate to open, he'd be able to call upon the power known as Stride, unaware of the possible consequences doing this could cause.

"I will bring you back, fully," Cero whispered to himself, his fist clenched over his heart.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 02, 2015, 12:21:06 AM: After seeing Cero head up the elevator with her celestial body, Hana took her physical body up the elevator as well. A large black ring had formed above the building once again it seemed, meaning Cero was another ring leader. She sighed as she entered the elevator. At this point then, she just saw this as formally asking for permission to use this as a base seeing as how Yukino and she just used this place regardless of his current condition. This was the the polite way of doing things.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 02, 2015, 12:29:14 AM: The elevator behind him opened up, revealing Hana Espoir. The defiance in his eyes faded, just for a moment, replaced by sadness that she had come to stop him. "So, you're here to prevent this gate from opening, I take it," his voice wasn't maniacal, nor even angry. It was a voice of sorrow and acceptance. "I can't let you stop me. I have to do this. Not for Reverse, but for myself." Anger now filled Cero, and his aura exploded even more violently than before, striking the ring and the building, even several buildings surrounding the area, shutting them down as well. He wouldn't allow Hana to stand in the way of his desire.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 02, 2015, 12:43:10 AM: It seemed that the battle above was about to start, all Tsubasa could do for now was stand back and watch Hana fight for the sake of this situation, after Seifer had left it was up ther to deal with things, as Tsubasa was not interested in dealing with Cero at this minute. His business was with Yukino for now.

"..Good Luck Hana,..if she fails then i'll step in." he thought.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 02, 2015, 01:01:53 AM: Hana wondered what he meant when it was all for himself, but she soon realized it when she saw that he was fighting without a reverse unit. It was hard to tell whether his desires were warped or his desires were just messed up to begin with, but either way, the presence of the invaders power within his body was causing the ring to appear, and that was a nono.

The panels of light appeared as they fought atop the building, an ugly night under a stormy sky, where the stars and their light were unabl to get through. Despite the mass retires that Cero packed and punched. His Vanguard line with a new unit, Tempest Bolt Dragon, which she suspected took the place of his reverse unit maintained a strong power using open rearguard circles. Hana was able to recover, especially gaining advantage during her break ride tun with Peace and Meer. Even the card with the especially fitting name, Duo Stage Storm, Iori.

The turn after, Cero refused to go down without a fight, having healed out in his sixth damage, he rode the unit whom was reported to have been defeated. Eradicator, Dragonic Descendant. With its limit break, Hana was forced to guard with a good chunk of her hand, barley surviving through the turn. With the memory of the one whom she wanted to protect, she rode her single copy of the one who symbolized the one who she loved.

"Hana..." Yes, Reit.

After the fight, Hana placed her deck back into her box, looking up at the ring as it faded. All the while, her light image clone thing had been fighting those whom Cero reversed. Now to ask him about his intent, it seems like he knew something that could contribute to this situation as a whole.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 02, 2015, 01:22:18 AM: Cero grimaced as the fight began. Within turns, he was put at a disadvantage though he managed to keep the game almost even with his decks vast amounts of retire power. Despite this, Hana was able to keep hand advantage throughout the entire game, with it only increasing as time went on. In order to break through her defenses, he rode the new unit he had obtained, Eradicator Tempest Bolt Dragon. Its power, however, wasn't enough to take down Hana's defenses, which became massively boosted during her breakride turn. With only a few cards remaining, it seemed hopeless for Cero, yet his determination to open the gate hadn't wavered. His deck responded to his determination, granting him a desperately needed sixth heal trigger. With five open counterblast and Cero knowing Hana had a perfect guard, there was only one option: He went all in, riding Eradicator Dragonic Descendant. With a double Especial Counterblast, he brought it to Breakride level power. His first attack was guarded, but gave Cero two triggers, and when he restood, it was Perfect Guarded, though he managed to pull a third trigger. However, even with 3 triggers on the Rear-guard, it wasn't enough to break through Hana's defenses. Due to Descendant's discard, Cero was left defenseless at the hands of Hana's next wave of attacks lead by Reit.

With his defeat, the gate above began to vanish. Looking up at it, the power of Reverse faded from Cero, though it seemed to cause him no agony. It simply dispersed into the wind. Cero's eyes were now filled with sorrow, a single tear running down his cheek. He had been handed the opportunity to revive his old friend, yet failed to... The gate had been closed, and Cero's ability to manipulate it lost. His gaze shifted to Hana, his face giving away nothing yet his eyes showing all. "I hope you're happy with the choice you've made," he said as he returned inside the building.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 02, 2015, 01:55:11 AM: "I'm quite happy actually." Whatever he lost, it was better than keeping the power of the invaders within his body.

The storm outside slowly disappeared, revealing the moon as well as the starry sky. First order of business seemed to be to make repairs to this building. The reversed fighters were quickly dealt with, it was prevented from growing to such a bad extent thankfully. As she walked behind him, words escaped her mouth, "So what did the power give you?... why were you acting like that?" She didn't have any intention to push the issue, but she was left in wonder due to how strange his case of reverse was.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 02, 2015, 02:18:11 AM: At the question, Cero stopped and turned to Hana, his eyes glaring with the intensity of a hurricane. "It didn't 'give' me anything. I took from it," he said. Beginning to turn back, Cero continued, "If you were given the chance to bring back the person most valuable to you, you'd take it no matter the risk as well, wouldn't you?" He posed the question to Hana, but didn't stay to hear her answer, entering the building and returning to his quarters.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 02, 2015, 02:37:46 AM: A strange image flowed into her mind as he asked the question.

"Screamo-kun!" She yelled out, running off the opposite direction and near the edge of the building. Falling again, she could've sworn that she had seen him falling. In reality, he had just returned to his quarters. To Hana, he didn't seem like the sappy type to go along and ask questions like that, much less do something like it. The question hit close to home for Hana, maybe that was why the image appeared, but why was it like that, a similar image as from the camping trip.

"Everything will be ok Hana... you'll do anything to save her... right?" A voice echoed from behind her.
"Catherine?..." Hana quickly turned around, but there was no one there. "I... must be tired... I should go return home and check on Mi-hime..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 02, 2015, 09:18:11 AM: Yugure wasn't able get to the elevator in time and it would've taken far too long to actually get up the stairs. Instead, with Cero no longer messing with the power while Hana dealt with him, everyone who didn't evacuate put their efforts in restoring electricity. There would still be fuse repairs to make, however, this worked for now. Several visuals of the fight came to active screens. While concerned for Cero's drive, the sight of Tempest Bolt Dragon emitting the power of the invaders was more threatening. The lightning sword smith who stands upon the summit alone... Seeing him confused Ahmes, as he didn't show signs of being Reversed like his fighter. Why was this?

These inquiries were pushed aside when Descendant appeared, having a very clear black ring on his back. Thanks to Duo, it was broken apart, and the "gate" above HQ vanished.

Yugure proceeded to have those who retreated return, and also check others Cero fought. If they were still Reversed, defeat them. If not, bring them into interrogation rooms. Allowing Cero time to himself was requested, as he looked like he needed space.

The soldier proceeded to alert her father of the situation, and apologize for not being able to make it the night prior with the questionings going on.

"I need to speak with the Cardfight Club later today, clear us up a meeting room."

Employees left to do so. It seems Hana had left while Yugure was working. A mental note was made to apologize to mother for not being able to see her off while thinking about it.

"Tell Cero I'll need to see him as well. For the time being, focus on analysis and repair. Nobody was able to get into direct contact with the network, so the invaders shouldn't have been able to tamper with anything again."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 02, 2015, 10:00:34 AM: "..Morning...-yawn-.." he said, yawning as he rubbed his eyes.

By the time Hana had dealt with Cero, Tsubasa was already fast asleep, it was clear that the events of the night before took a lot out of him, or maybe his body was growing accustomed to something different..

Stretching the young man began to look around, it was evident that the training area had begun it's repair state. He continued to see what the situation was in the area, he had still yet to find out what Yukino wanted from him.

Upon further investigation of the place he finally spotted her, "..Oh hey Yukino!..glad you're okay, that was quite the show Cero put up for everyone." he said, trying to lighten the mood a bit, also to draw attention away from the fact that he fell asleep after some time. "So what did you want to see me for?" he asked.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 02, 2015, 10:06:10 AM: "I hope that gave you some idea of what the invaders can do to people beyond warping their mind", Yugure stated instead of greeting. Pulling away from a machine, she turned to Tsubasa.

"I need you as one of the generals for the army against Link Joker. You'll need to be able to set up meeting and discuss plans of action, along with countermeasures."

The woman seems to forget she's talking to someone with no real war experience.

"I also need you to help keep eyes on people who've been Reversed. Notably at the moment, Seifer."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 02, 2015, 10:29:45 AM: She seemed extremely serious, but who could blame her, the situation was pretty dire the other day, if not for Hana, Tsubasa or Yukino may have had to experience the terror of Tempest Bolt Dragon first hand.

"A general huh..sure I think I can handle it just depends on what we have to do I assume we'll be doing what Hana did and seal gates and unreverse people." he said, as he tried to grasp the situation at hand.

"You want me to keep watch on people who have been reversed, sure I can do that...but why though...is it possible that.." he asked, trying to understand the nature of the reverse a bit more.

Just then he received a message from his friend Fei, "You can thank me later ;) "
"..Huh..What's he talking about?" he wondered.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 02, 2015, 10:44:35 AM: Hana spent her morning over some coffee with kawaii sugar cube with cat faces, and heading over to the facility in order to organize a chroncile of events from each empire as well as on Earth. Hana took a separate room from her sister, but asked a worker to tell Yukino tfor her that she had arrived. The first true sighting of it was with F CHOPPER KOGA and FUKI, who according to TOMO-ZO have no memory of who reversed them. Seeig as how PSY Shop was like a bridge between Earth and Cray, it could speculated that the beings on Cray bridged effect over to Earth. That would be so, but that would make the one who was reversed, Neo, should be the only source. Assuming Dragonic Descendant under Cero's control was defeated by reversed fighters who used Nebula Lord and Freeze Ray respectively, then that would mean that there was another fighter who was able to give off reverse on Earth other than Neo.

She used her connections to ask for flight records as well as a time on the sightings of reverse fighters along other countries. Hopefully, things would be able to be traced back to where reverse truly began on Earth. As for Neo, she decided to deal with him later.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 02, 2015, 10:50:17 AM: "Unreversing people and erasing the gates fall under the general things you'll do for the position. The difference being is that you'll be one of the leaders." Yugure explained this while holding back a bit of her awe, impressed with how Tsubasa took the job well enough already. "Ahmes and I brought up possible theories about those who were reversed still hold Link Joker's power in them. The worst possibility is they'd still have the ability to lock, but we can't confirm. In addition to that..."

Seifer overcame the invader within his consciousness. Even so... that fang shaped red marking had remained on his face. Not only that, but the power she felt yesterday was undeniable - it was his.

"I believe Seifer is the most likely candidate to still have abilities of a reversed fighter."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 02, 2015, 11:10:54 AM: Returning his focus back to Yukino, he began to take in all what she was saying it was apparent that simply unreversing someone could still not do enough to keep them from having that power.

"...I understand..I think I get what you're worried about exactly, though I will say this much, if you remember when the War of Liberation was concluding Neu was using Link Joker without displaying signs of the reverse, if our goal is to survive then as long as people can control that power without it changing their heart's desires, then It would be an interesting way to fight back the invaders....obviously it's a risky theory and I don't plan on testing it but if the situation does come up I'll let you know.." he said, still pondering about the situation. "..I have to say I am worried that suggestion maybe something yo consider but I'd rather not rely on it...if anything I believe we can overcome this with our own strength."

Upon the mention of Seifer his expression changed from determined and excited to surprised and worried, "...That's true ...that mark still is on his face...I'll keep an eye on him he's my friend I won't let his loved ones see him consumed like we did ever again...do you think the mark could be from something in his deck maybe?" he asked.

Before Yukino could give a response to his last question he was startled by someone entering the area, "Aniki! hey! What are you doing here? This place is a mess."

Turning around and recognizing the voice as his brother's he immediately responded, "...What on earth are you doing here? You see a devastated building and you just walk in??" he asked, displaying more worry.

"..Fei said you would be here, devastated building or not you're here so there is nothing to worry about." he said, giving a thumbs up.

"So who's the young lady? You better watch it Aniki, sis Neu must go insane with the number of girls you hang around hehe." he said, grinning at his brother.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 02, 2015, 11:24:55 AM: "Neu is a special case involving the Rift. If she was Reversed back then, we'd be screwed. Also, I don't exactly believe in people not getting drunk on the ability to lock like the invaders. I'm normally fine with the idea of using an enemy's weapon to our advantage if we can control it, but this is beyond that."

Yugure could just never accept the idea of locking your comrades to further your ambitions. If people still had access to even consider doing such a thing... even if it could help, it was not a moral ground she wanted touched. Not until they can figure out something to do with it that doesn't involve suffering for nearby friends or units. The very thought made her scowl, greatly displeased with the notion, despite it being a fine suggestion in theory.

"Something... from Seifer's deck?" The woman repeated part of Tsubasa's inquiry. What if he already had a Reverse unit, and just didn't use it? Or what if he weld a unit that had been enslaved by the invaders on Cray? "... Best to check if you can, if I don't before you."

The woman was about to start on her next task before seeing a young boy who was completely out of place. He referred to the Gold Paladin vanguard as "Aniki". Were they siblings?

"Who is this?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 02, 2015, 11:54:51 AM: "..Sis Neu...?" he said, pondering about how Neu would take the term.
"I don't hang with that many girls bro, and even then I only fell for one.. (god that sounded cheesy)" he said.

"..Smooth Aniki real smooth, anyway Hi! The name is Haruto, pleasure to meet you, see this guy right here, he's my older brother." he said, smiling.

"Yea I'm the lucky brother..." he said, sulking on the inside.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?! Don't mind him he's just messing around, What's your name?" he asked, extending his hand for a handshake.

Tsubasa takes this moment to take out his phone and sends a text message to Fei, "..You're so dead when I see you!!" -sent-

"But yea I would imagine Seifer's deck might be the reason but I'll check on it when I can clearly almost any unit could fall to it, but first I have to get this kid to safety." he said, thinking about what kind of unit could have fallen to the reverse.

Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on October 02, 2015, 03:08:40 PM: The black footsteps waltzed into the training area. Amon decided to pay this place a visit to see if any of his targets were here. He knew of a few connections that would get him closer to the sins that he would annihilate.

Amon entered the centre of the main room, his shadow enveloping his aura of reverse. Standing motionless, he let out a declaration. "Where art thou now? Appear before me if an individual is here! And tell me the location of one the Sins!"

Post by: Hope on October 02, 2015, 04:10:20 PM: The voice of ~~god~~ Neu echoed through the area in which Amon was.

"Gtfo"

Silence.

"No seriously, go to another location."

Post by: [R.T] SpiderHunterMD on October 02, 2015, 05:55:46 PM: Amon, beleived to hear the voice of one of his targets coming from another location left, but before he did, he placed a note on the ground. The note stated. "Sins will be eradicated" With this, he left.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 02, 2015, 06:34:54 PM: Seifer and Rosalia, still joined at their hands, made it to the facility without much trouble at all. It was actually really eerie to think about the place being abandoned almost. That was the vibe that was given off. In any case, Seifer lead Rosalia inside, noting that the door he'd broken through was still shattered. Seifer himself walked further in before pulling out his phone and calling Hana, waiting for her to pick up. Would be faster than texting honestly, and he needed to know where in the facility to meet up at.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 02, 2015, 06:40:08 PM: Rosalia stayed by Seifer's side as they entered the facility's grounds. She had never been to this place before, but didn't question it. If they were here, then they were meeting their friends. She adjusted the duffle bag she held before sighing quietly, looking around as her companion made his phone call. This place is creepy... but.. it's safe, or it should be, right?... This will be like our base against the invaders... Still, it's too quiet... One hand reached for her deck case at her side, just holding it to calm her nerves. Caution.. yellow... but that's not a happy feeling...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 02, 2015, 07:56:46 PM: "Yugure", the woman replied to Haruto, shaking his hand. She let down her guard some to come off as more friendly. He seemed cute and innocent enough, so he was definitely out of place.

"We had some weird guy come in and he left a note. Here, mistress."

The Chosen Sword saw the footage of a man looking for one who sins. The note itself was odd too. A feeling of unease settled in before being told Seifer and Rosalia had arrived.

"Direct them to the room Hana's in."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 02, 2015, 08:00:37 PM: Hana held a tablet in her hands as she was followed down the elevator by a few of thr scientists. They had been working all day on locating the axis point, the power source of the invaders on Earth. The good news was that she had mapped out places where the black rings are, locating ring leaders whom are fighters whom have beeb reversed. The bad news was that the origin point was no found and wasn't as obvious as the areas of high reverse energy concentration.

Upon getting off the elevator, she unknowingly stepped on a piece of paper which was then picked up by a scientist who then handed it off to one of the clean up workers nearby as it was described to be "litter" and "trash." When she spotted Sliffer and Red-chan, she called them over with a wave of her hand and a loud and energetic, "helllooooooooo!"

Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 12:04:26 AM: Darren walked into the Training Facility yet again. He felt already like he had been here many more times than he ever would have expected and this was another one of them. Before long he would have to just get a bag and remain indefinitely if this was going to keep up.

Didn't you say something about not coming back here until you were called?

Well I did get a text about it. Besides, without knowing where the big time Reversed Fighters are, we would be fighting the small fries all day, do we really want to do that when it won't really help anything?

Point proven... And at least we don't have another psycho waiting for us at the door.

As Darren looked around inside, he saw Seifer along with Rosalia. He waved to them and saw Hana as well. It seemed she really had been here the whole time. "Hey guys!" he called out. His body was still bandaged from the patch job he did to himself from the night before. He looked like some kind of street fighter in sports tape, or a failed mummy costume for Halloween.

Post by: OverDrive on October 03, 2015, 12:32:40 AM: "See Aniki she's cool no need to be worried, though Aniki what happened here? It looks like a hurricane decimated this place..." said Haruto, as he looked around.

Upon that question Tsubasa has a flash back to his nightmare a long while back after the Incident with Neo, he could not afford to let Haruto go through the same thing.

He turned around, "-sigh- It had a little situation bro nothing major, it's going to get remodeled slightly.." he said, pausing as he looked back around at Haruto's glare at him.

"Aniki...you're hiding something from me...we may not have spend enough time during highschool but I can still tell, now tell me what it is. he said, his gaze attempting to pierce Tsubasa's.

Noticing how much of a reader Haruto had become over the years Tsubasa decided to get a bit more serious, "..Haruto..this is not investigation, what I choose to tell or not tell you about is for your sake." he said, his eyes and voice stern and intimidating.

"...-flashback to childhood-..I understand, but I will find out, because we are always a team, where you go I go." he said, smiling as he hugged his brother.

"...Yukino, if possible I'd like to keep my brother close if we are going to meet the cardfight club I'd like him to come along maybe introduce him..besides that way you and the guys get to see my very own version of Hana." he said, smiling.

"..wait...the Idol??! Wait she's her sister?? Oh my that is amazing I've heard about her, so then...does that not mean that your name should be Yugure Espoir?" he asked.

"Haruto that's enough questions for now, we'vve gotta give her some space plus we might meet the club." he said, winking.

Fei replies to Tsubasa's message, "Aww at least you're bonding."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 03:32:44 AM: Yugure watched the brothers have their little exchange. It was natural Tsubasa wanted to keep the invasion away from a young civilian if possible. If Hana wasn't connected to Cray and was simply a normal human like everyone else, the soldier would want the same. Haruto was by no means stupid nor accepting of it, however, as the boy wanted answers. Seeing him shot down, this would prove concerning if they wanted to have meeting, but keep him close as requested.

Salome noted he's a cute kid.

He is a very cute kid.

Yunos was annoyed with how goofy the kid was like. Ahmes got irritated with Blaster Dark's bad boy attitude and decided to start talking about the days were the Swordsman of Darkness was a chipper young lad. The black claymore hit the Swordsman of Light like a truck. Even more annoyed, the Blasters of Fate started dueling one another. Alfred directed the palm of hand to face.

"I can answer further questions you have later, alright?" The soldier spoke with a sweet, gentle tone. Surprising, given her awkward social interaction skills.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 02:16:08 PM: Seifer himself still toted the bag full of snacks, holding Rosalia's hand as they were spoken to and greeted. Well, at least everyone here was alive and well for right now. Seeing Hana, Tsubasa, and Yukino he waved a bit before looking over his shoulder at the red head with him. He wasn't really sure what to say in this situation, but he did bring food for everyone so that's a thing.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 04:15:53 PM: Rosalia waved to the calls, smiling slightly as she relaxed some. Seeing a few of their friends all in one piece, aka not Reversed, made her feel a bit easier about fighting the invaders. "Heyo everyone.." She glanced between Hana and Darren first, then to Seifer with a small shrug. "Well, we brought some snacks. Figured you guys would need something to keep you on your feet... How's everything here?... Looks like this place is a little worse for wear..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 04:20:11 PM: Darren smiled as he walked forward, going up to them as he said, "Yeah, I should probably apologize for that. I hate to admit it but I kinda had a part in it all. He gave a small sigh, then shook his head and said, "Anyway, I'm really glad you two are alright. Noel and I were looking for you. Does that mean she's here too?
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 03, 2015, 04:24:20 PM: Some scientists were dismissed for their break, while Hana gave some others data to look over. Cray was about the same business, with Genesis, Oracle Think Tank, and Great Nature putting minds together in other retrieve information on the origin of the reverse as well as to get a clear data on The Rift as well as its inactivity as of late has raised suspicious in the The Princess as well. With a clear energy reading or wavelength to go off of, the council would at least be able to detect enemy activity and plan ahead a little more than they are able to now. Hana walked over to Rosalia and Seifer, taking something to eat for herself, also giving a small wave to Darren as she fixed her hat and loosened up her rather stiff shoulders.

"Whew.." She let out a deep sigh, a bit exhausted from all the work. "Yeah, we're trying to fix up this place right now, but the upper floors mostly works just fine, it's just that the baka baka who wrecked up this place took his time in this ground floor. No need to apologize Darren and ah Noel." Hana already knew what happened to her. There's that.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 04:43:27 PM: Even though she said he didn't need to apologize, he still felt bad for what he had done at that time. He caused problems for Hana and this place suffered as a result. He wondered how much of it he should tell Rosalia and Seifer. No point in getting them worked up if it had already passed. Darren then snapped his fingers as a thought just popped into his mind.

"Oh, where's the person that texted me before. Your sister who needed to talk to me. I guess now is as good a time as any for that."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 03, 2015, 04:47:26 PM: "..Oh, sure that works, thanks Yugure." he said, smiling.

"I appreciate it, Yukino, I'll make sure that all goes smoothly from now on." he said, with a slight smile, he appreciated Yukino's liniency on the matter.

If anything Haruto was not ignorant or oblivious he can understand certain aspects around him and act properly maybe even read the person in front of him by his body language, but all that changes when he is around his older brother, his sense of safety skyrockets and he decides to act younger than his age, goofy in a sense.

"..I'm glad you're able to be this forgiving my brother.." he thought.

"...Her name is Yugure...why does he call her Yukino...?"thought the young man, Haruto.

As more people approached, in this case Seifer and Rosalia, Tsubasa turned around and waved back at the two.

"Oh, hey are these more of your friends?..Hey! Nice to meet..you..." said the young boy waving at the two, as his voice began to trail off it was clear that he was hesitant against Seifer's appearance, which cannot be blamed, the half mark definitely struck him as strange. "..Aniki...That's some tattoo... he said, turning his gaze to his brother, and saying it in a low tone making sure that only his brother heard him.

"...Interesting...listen we'll talk about this later Haruto." he said, patting his brother, as the two approached closer.

"..Is that really a tattoo...Maybe I'm just seeing things..." thought the young man."Ooh Snacks, may I?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 05:09:01 PM: Seifer handed out sandwiches to everyone, glancing at Haruto when he started to act... odd. Almost scared? Well then, who could blame him. Seifer did still have that massive red fang like mark on his face, though he himself often forgot it was even there. Though at the mention of snacks he seemed a bit more open. Well, food opens everyone up. "Sure, what kinda do you want? I've got all kinds of sandwiches, water, juice, and the like." he spoke to Haruto, setting the bag that he was carrying down and opening it up. As for the questions about his sister... "She's uh..." Seifer looked at Haruto for a moment not sure if he should mention it bluntly or not so he took the other route. "She's come down with a pretty serious illness right now. I can't even see her." he spoke looking back into the bag to find Tsubasa's brother a snack or two. Basically to those who knew what was going on he pretty much just said she's reversed and he has no idea where she is right now.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 05:30:30 PM: Yugure still hadn't been to sleep, and hadn't really eaten anything either. Hearing snacks being brought in didn't get her attention immediately, but it did for her stomach. Backing away from the monitor and giving a couple orders, along with an encouraging "keep up the good work", the soldier exited into the hallways to greet members of the Cardfight Club. Noticing Rose, it seems getting bystanders involved was unavoidable.

Giving a sigh, Seifer's condition, along with Darren's Reversing were going to be topics for the meeting. Though, seeing the latter, that interrogation might come early.

The woman still needed to get home...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 03, 2015, 05:33:08 PM: At the mention of the conversation, Tsubasa immediately spoke up before anymore words were said, "Seifer, I understand what you are trying to do, but I must ask you to speak openly, don't worry about it." he said, his words both stern and caring at the same time.

It was undrstandable why Tsubasa seemed a bit more on edge now, Noel was a friend of his, he had only met her a few times but he understood her struggles and respected her as a person and a cardfighter, "...We will save her.." he thought.

"...Aniki...Oh thank you..Seifer was it? I appreciate the snack.."he said, as he began studying his brother's expression with his gaze.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 05:36:57 PM: Ah Yugure, she looked like she could use a pick me up. Taking a juice energy drink type thing out, if for no reason other than to make sure she was hydrated, the male stood and holing it out to her with a light smile. Even with the glaring mark on his face he looked like nothing in the world right now could stomp away his happy attitude. "Here, drink up. Don't know how long you've been here working but you need to keep your strength up. ...Don't over exert yourself to much. ...You should eat something to." he seemed more like a caring brother or something with how he was acting, though in all seriousness he was just worried about everyone keeping themselves okay. Everyone needed a break every now and then. "Oh right, Yugure... You didn't get the chance to talk to her last time but... This is Rosalia." he introduced the red head with him, still offering at least the drink, and hopefully she'd take some food to.

"It's not a problem little guy. What's your name?" he asked, extending a sandwich and juice to Haruto as well.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 05:41:17 PM: Darren frowned at hearing what they said. He couldn't help but give a small sigh at the thought that Noel had been Reversed like he was. He wanted to help her, but he could also tell that Seifer wanted to save her as well. Maybe this was better kept in the family. He then saw the other girl walking forward. He didn't know her, so that obviously must have been the one that wanted to talk to her.

Taking a juice because he was thirsty, he started to walk up to her. He knew he would probably have to say whatever he had to tell her in front of everyone but before that he wanted to talk to her himself. She had to know some things and so did he. More than that, there was something he wanted to know and something he had to make up for with her.

"You wanted to talk to me, isn't that right?" he said to her, assuming that Yugure was Hana's sister he had heard about.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 05:43:19 PM: Rosalia listened quietly to those around them. Hearing Darren say he had something to do with what was going on, it only made the redhead lower her gaze. After handing out some of their food stash, the female rested her hand over her deck box that was still clipped at her waist. Not only did Seifer still have that mark on his cheek, but she still had the card... Did it mean she could still hurt people?... It hurt her head just to try and think about it. As for talk about Noel... Rosalia got a bad feeling about it. If Darren was right in that Noel had went looking for her... could she have... Was it the redhead's fault that Noel wasn't here with them right now?...

The female kept quiet, moving so that she now half hid behind her brunette companion while pulling out her deck. Sure enough, though the top card was her usual avatar Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier, the second was the Reverse form.. Orange... anxiety... Where are the happy colors... Only when she was introduced did she put her deck away again, just in case someone else saw it. "H-hello, Yugure..." Rosalia answered softly, taking a juice for herself and sipping slowly.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 05:54:39 PM: Yugure took note of how Seifer's behavior was. Even with the mark, there was still no sign of the invaders continuously corrupting his mentality... for now. Keeping worry to herself, she listened to how he sounded like one of the Espoir residents trying to feed her. ... He was simply less forceful about it. "Thank you", she expressed gratitude anyway, taking the energy drink. Similar to a year ago, however, the woman was mostly disinterested in food. Immediately afterward, Seifer introduced the redhead to her again. This girl was from the coffee shop... they didn't get to talk much then, though.

"Nice to see you again, Rosalia."

Friendly enough, but a bit more curious about how intensely she looked at her deck. Inquiry about that could come later, as Darren had approached.

"You're Darren? I'm Yugure, and I need to speak to you about the time you were Reversed."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 06:05:11 PM: Darren smiled lightly as it seemed they were introduced now. His face then went serious for a moment as he said, I had a feeling you wanted that. I will tell you everything I know. I actually remember more than what most Reversed Fighters do about the experience. I just want one thing first if we have time...

Darren held up his deck box and said, "I want a cardfight against you. I caused your sister grief and hurt people. I want to redeem myself for that, and I want to be certain that the two of us can fight for me to make amends for what I did then. If you can't do it, its fine for now, but I want to have at least one match with you."

Is this really something you need to be doing? It seems like a waste of time we don't have.

I can tell by looking at her that she's strong. Just like that Oshiro guy. We need to see if your final form is something we can control.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 06:11:52 PM: Yugure wasn't all too surprised that he would remember more than the average Joe. Though the notion of a fight caught her off guard somewhat. He definitely seemed sorry enough... this regret put some ease in her heart. It meant the invaders no longer had a grip over him, and even if he still had their power, he wouldn't use it to cause suffering. This analysis of simply two statements was enough.

"Here, let me do it", Yunos requested. The Revengers were chosen for this while the Liberators got themselves together.

"We can use one of the tables in a room a little ways down the hall."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 06:14:28 PM: Seifer was glad she at least accepted the drink, however the interaction Rosalia had with Yugure, while brief, was interesting enough. Turning slightly, he placed his hand on Rosalia's head smiling softly as he shut his eyes halfway. "Relax, I told you... Everything's going to be okay. I'll take care of it all. Don't fret to much." he tilted his head a bit while smiling still, his eyes shutting fully. However, looking back toward the group, it seemed Yugure needed to talk to Darren and yet, Darren was wanting to Cardfight her. Maybe now wasn't the best time for it since she seemed how she was. However, he himself still needed to thank her, though he'd just have to wait.

"You're going to be stubborn before we get here and now you're being passive? Make up your mind." "Quiet you."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 06:22:39 PM: Rosalia looked up at Seifer when he patted her head, the female opening her mouth to say something until Darren had challenged Yugure. A fight now? They should be keeping up their strength for real fights, like those against the Reverse. But she gripped her deck again before hugging Seifer tightly, burying her face into his chest. She started to shake again, glancing up just enough so he could hear her when she whispered. "D-did... Did I Reverse Noel?... Rosalia asked, quiet so that Yugure nor Darren would be disturbed with their soon-to-be fight.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 06:22:53 PM: Darren nodded as he walked towards the table. He had his deck in hand as he took a breath. The last time he fought, he was bruised and bandaged, and even now he still showed it. This time, he wanted to finish the battle and to see what he could do. He couldn't help but smile lightly. It was a strange feeling. Just like against Oshiro. He couldn't help but to enjoy the thought of fighting someone that was stronger than him. Maybe that was why he spent so much time before trying to improve, not because he wanted more power.

He placed his starting unit down as he prepared to battle. "I'm ready when you are, Yugure." He also knew she knew of his battle with the Reverse. He wanted to do this now so he could get an idea of what he was compared to then. He wanted to surpass that wretched form he had at that time.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 03, 2015, 06:25:45 PM: Darren's reverse situation truly was somewhat surprising but it helped Tsubasa further understand and solidify his theory about the reverse cards, even though he despised having to use that power. On the other hand Rosalia seemed a lot more quiet than usual, and that's saying something, "...She's probably worried about Noel...but why her deck..." he wondered."Dang...just what did Darren go through to get these bandages.."

"Oh a cardfight, so you guys play Vanguard like my brother, that is incredible..heh I wish I knew how to play, do your best Yugure!"said the young man.

Feeling a bit concerned Tsubasa walked up to Rosalia, "Hey is everything okay?..you've been more quiet than usual.." he asked, his voice caring and gentle at the same time, he did not want to startle his friend.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 06:26:40 PM: The brunette sweat dropped a little bit before hugging the female back, holding her head against his chest more rocking slowly. "That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who did what, because you're not at fault. No matter what anyone thinks or says, YOU didn't do anything." he whispered back, stroking her hair slowly. This just turned into a slightly bad situation but, he'd make sure she didn't lose her mind over it. It was trivial and didn't matter. She had been under a spell when she did some things that she'd normally regret. To Seifer it didn't matter.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 06:33:48 PM: Rosalia lowered her head again at Seifer's response. So it was true... It was her fault... She glanced to the side when spoken to again, this time by Tsubasa. But by now, the redhead had started crying again, and clung tighter to her companion. "I-it's my fault... It's my fault... She's..." She sniffled and wiped her eyes, shaking her head. "A-and now I still have it... Why..." She just wanted to curl up in a corner. The images of simple darkness coming to her mind again, and her world of gray. Colorless... and it's my fault...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 06:38:13 PM: Seifer sighed a bit shaking his head slowly, placing his hand on the crying female's cheek and caressing slowly, wiping any tears away. "Don't cry... Everything that's happened can be fixed. There's no need to behave like this. Look... Rose..." he gently placed a kiss on the center of her forehead, holding her tightly again, keeping her face buried in his chest. "You can't let yourself drown in sorrow. If you do, you'll never move forward, never grow. ...You'll never change. We can't just cling to the past, whether we have a good one, or something far worse. We all need to grow, evolve..." placing yet another gentle kiss to the top of her head he rocked a little bit more, resting his cheek on the top of her head, the side that had the mark, and just... started humming. It was a soft sound, almost like a lullaby.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 07:08:37 PM: Revengers rose arms in a battle of might and wits against Star Gate's heroes: Dimension Police. Despite one of their leaders having been Reversed and the whole faction not looking too well, they still held together under the command of Daikaiser, a new justice. Not seeing Daiyusha anywhere was still worrying, however. Yet, they seemed very content with Darren as a Vanguard. The Swordsman of Darkness stated that they all worked very well together, especially with Gorescue doing what it can to keep everyone together. It was more than obvious than this man's feelings toward making up for what he did were genuine.

While Mordred didn't arrive, Raging Form decided he would face these feelings, and judge them himself.

Dueling the righteous mecha leader with his grandiose sword, his Limit Break went off very quickly. Daikaiser responded with more than just his own, however. Goyusha's skill activated, and a combination beyond the Chosen Sword's and the Sanctuary's wildest dreams was displayed. Yes... a Superior Crossbreakride. Daikaiser took up the helm for his friend, and surpassed limits they could barely dream of. Great Daikaiser arrived, with a Limit Break that enabled him a third Drive Check, and his own Break Ride skill that threatened to shatter guards in front of him. Yugure wound up throwing most of her hand down instead of just Mac Lir in a panic.

Thankfully, it didn't reach through.

"What an honorable technique." Raging Form gave his utmost praise to Darren and Daikaiser.

The dark wielders of the Sanctuary retaliated, thinning the deck, and arming themselves with Raging Form's Limit Break in case Darren survived. However, Grim Revenger saw to its end without needing that.

"Good game", Yugure offered, accepting his desire. They had a good ally in hand.

Yunos scoffed. "He isn't too bad, I guess."

Once again, Raging Form showed his gratitude for allowing him to serve.

Darren +2 Affinity

Revengers +10 Affinity
Raging Form +10 Affinity
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 07:16:53 PM: Darren couldn't help but smile throughout the battle. He knew that Yugure would be strong, and she was all he thought and more. Her attacks and criticals were relentless but Darren stayed strong and his deck responded as well, keeping his damage low at the start. He displayed his full power, a Superior Cross Break Ride that destroyed the machine before this. This time, however, the Fight Table was stronger. It withstood the power and the Great Daikaiser was born.

Through his abilities, Darren seemed like he would still be able to fight, but a critical trigger sealed the deal as Darren was out of heal triggers. Even as the match ended, Darren was happy, glad that he could fight someone so strong and see where he was. More than that, he could tell that she did trust him. If they were to battle invaders that could take the minds of friends, they needed trust.

Heh... You just wanted to fight her because she was a strong opponent, didn't you?

Partly, but didn't you want the same?

.... No arguement.

Darren extended his hand, offering a handshake of friendship as he said, "Thanks for the battle, and the praise. I might still have a ways to go but I'll be doing my best. Any way, I guess its time I tell you what you want to know.

Yugure: AF +2

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 07:22:16 PM: Rosalia shut her eyes as her cheek was wiped clear of tears, save for those that continued to fall. You can't let yourself drown in sorrow... If you do, you'll never move forward, never grow... We all need to grow, evolve... I-it's ju-ust.. so hard..... Sniffling again, the female tried to relax to no avail. What other colors are there, save for black, red, and gray?... The female shuddered, hiccuping once between her quiet sobs, until Seifer started to hum. It was a soft... a lullaby?... Re-elaxing... green... calming... blue.... Rosalia then relaxed, her shaking reduced to light trembles until they faded away completely. As long as she had Seifer... she would be okay... What other colors are there?... Blue sadness and violet despair are not happiness... N-no.. but to make a happy life, its counterpart of sadness will be there some days... She looked up to Seifer when she had calmed down enough, the redhead wiping her eyes one last time and nodding. "O-okay... I-i'll... I-i have to mo-ove on... right?... I'll try..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 07:35:45 PM: While it was a bit hard pressed at the moment, so it seemed, she at least agreed to try to move forward. He was glad for that, so he smiled softly. His phone vibrated though, and the recipient was... Satoshi? Well, now might not be the best time but... ...He had a feeling he knew what was going on but right now, while he wanted to be with Rosalia he had to make this choice. And it wasn't much use to run away. Thinking for a moment Seifer reached into his red deck box, pulling out the Kagero deck, pulling Rosalia's hand forward and placing the deck card arts up in the palm of her hand. On the front was Dragonic Overlord's break ride. "I need to go, and you can't follow me this time. But hold onto this for me. ...Sounds cheesy but if something happens to me, you can keep track of it through him." he gave a soft smile gently pressing his lips against her's for a few brief moments before pulling away. He had to at least tell her he had to go do something. He did however try to leave without alerting anyone else in the room.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 07:51:18 PM: Rosalia felt a small smile starting to form on her lips, only for it to fade when Seifer's phone vibrated. Was someone else in danger? But then she had a deck in hand, looking down at the Kagero cards while she remembered him last having Dragruler... Wait, Draguler? His avatar was Mordred... When Seifer kissed her lightly, then headed away, the female wanted to cry again. Don't leave... Don't leave like I did... But she didn't speak as he made his way out of the facility, wiping her eyes again, before holding the deck close to her. "J-just come back soon..." Rosalia whispered to herself...

She took a deep breath. It was shaky on inhale and exhale, so she took another.. and another... She had to calm down, and she had to change.. The redhead looked at Dragonic Overlord the breakride, rubbing her thumb over the face of the card. Keep him safe... A-and I'll try to keep everyone else here safe... Red... Strength... Passion... With the start of a new resolve, the female glanced at her surroundings, seeing Yugure and Darren had finished their fight, and Tsubasa and.. some other guy.. was around too. She decided to walk over to Yugure and Darren, focusing on the other female who had just won the fight. "H-hey.. is there anything um.. I can do around here to help?... I know we brought some snacks and such, but snacks won't win this w-war, will it.."

Post by: Jello on October 03, 2015, 07:52:38 PM: Death doesn't conquer all bodies it seems. Even when Haruka Nakahara ceased to breathe in his hospital bed the day before. When the doctors were carrying the corpse off to the morgue in the basement of the hospital, another entity sprang to life.

Sera was still alive; still in control of the human functions that the host had previously possessed. Haruka was in fact still alive, but in such a deep slumber due to from fatigue and bodily harm it might as well been a near eternal coma. Until the mission is complete, Sera cannot leave Haruka's body, therefore sapping him of all of his energy and nutrients to keep his conscience motor working.

The body was fully recovered upon awakening from its untimely death, without a rot in it. No wonder it was so well preserved; didn't even go into rigor mortis. After several hours of check-ups, he was allowed to leave with his belongings, save for one Nova Grappler deck he gave to Alex. Sort of a waste really...

Without a second thought, he went to where the last most concentrated amount of Reverse energy lingered; the Cardfight Training Area. Looks like everyone was finally getting to work. Perhaps the generals he had chosen were good choices after all. He proceeded to walk inside, noticing the insane clutter of the area. Things were all over the place, and a few lights looked to be out. What a mess.

It only him a few moments to see everybody congregated around the main floor. Lots of familiar faces; other ones he had seen less of than others. A few stuck out particularly.

His original target was disappearing from the area. He only barely glimpsed him flee from one of the girls' sides.

Haruka's lover was well it seemed, just finishing a fight not too long ago. Sharing compliments with the other fighter. He was previously reversed, considering the lingering Reverse energy on him. All fighters who have fought another Reversed fighter have slight lingering ties, whilst the Reversed fighters themselves tend to hold onto an aura, despite no longer under the direct lock.

With a sigh and a shrug, he went to make believe. Deceit had worked on pretty much everyone before, why would now be any different?

"Ya-ehermm... Yahellooo!" He called out with a wave, pocketing his left hand.

Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 07:58:40 PM: Darren saw Rosalia come over, smiling to her as he saw the look in her eyes. He frowned at seeing it as it was the the same thing he felt when he had been Reversed once before and now she was basically here by herself. Darren walked over to her and said, "There's lots of stuff you can do to help. I mean, if I can then of course you can too." He tried to be reassuring, not wanting to ask anything specific about what happened to her as it was hard for even him to think about.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 08:04:02 PM: Yugure shook Darren's hand, and nodded. "I'll need to hear everything you can remember. We need information on those who were unreversed. However, it seems we can simply discuss this in the War Room with many of us here."

There were enough generals and tacticians around to have a large scale meeting concerning the invasion's beginning and how it was affecting the two planets. Rounding up their information and confirming or scrapping theories would be a large help in understanding Link Joker. Cero should be around as well, so they should be able to get more of a statement- and Seifer's leaving.

Goddammit, Yugure needed people gathered.

... Wait, is that Haruka? She hadn't seen him in a long time, and they didn't text nor call each other either... The soldier was busy and didn't get to send anything, but he might have in the middle of reports flooding her phone. Not only did that send her mind in a bit of a pleasantly surprised confusion, but Rosalia had come asking if there was anything she could do. Yugure wasn't sure the girl was all that informed, and not being in the loop likely left her only to her thoughts.

"Rations are important", was all the woman said as some form of reassurance. Snacks weren't exactly a meal, but they were still food. Food is necessary to win a war to keep soldiers going. ... Now if only Ahmes could get Yugure to actually eat.

"Where did Seifer go?" Yugure questioned, needing to drag him back. She would then get to Haruka in just a second.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 03, 2015, 08:06:32 PM: After the spectacular fight, Hana finished munching on her popcorn, drinking her soda, eating vanilla ice cream, chewing on gum, and drinking her frappe. Where did she get all those? Who the hell knows. Either way, she was quite out of it for the past few moments, but it seems like people were just going about their business. About sometime after, a quick exchange of people took place where Seifer went into the magic hat known as the door to trade places with Haruka. She was quite excited to see him since she hadn't seen him for awhile and she was glad that she was ok.

"Yahellllo! Haruka! I haven't seen you since the park, giving weird handshakes to Seifer and Hikaru and stuff." She waved and scratched her head, "Ah, I was pretty beat around that time because of all the reverse fighters there... glad you didn't run into em like Hikaru and Seifer probably did cause Seifer started doing so and looking over Umano today, Hikaru has been-..."

Wait.

"By the way, where have you been?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on October 03, 2015, 08:15:10 PM: "Hmm, me? I have been, hrm..." He furrowed his brow scratching his chin, remembering the places Haruka had been with witnesses.

"The hospital. A couple of times." He raised his head also coming to several deductions that even without witnesses they cannot truly confirm his whereabouts prior unless Hana had been spying, and by now she would have definitely confronted him at the time. Not many people had seen him during those events, they remained consolidated. He triple checked each case to make sure before passing out that no witnesses could catch him in the act... Or at least that he could manage in the dying vessel that was Haruka's body.

"Around mostly, looking for all of you mostly. It seems you had evading me more often than not, since the cultural festival." This was true. He hadn't exactly lied here, he simply saw nobody during that time is all and it became a toll on Haruka; thus one on Sera as well.

"Where have you been?" He showed minimal attention to Yukino, flashing a brief smile to show he noticed. Must keep appearances when this is all over.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 08:17:37 PM: Rosalia paused in her approach, only for her to be close enough to hear what seemed to be the tail end of Yugure's and Darren's conversation. She glanced at Darren when he spoke though, nodding slightly in response while keeping one hand over the Kagero deck that now sat at her hip alongside her own Pale Moon one. That's right... Hana had texted before about getting Darren back... Was he.. Reversed like I was?... "A-ah.. Seifer went.. um... somewhere... He.." She frowned and looked down again, clutching the Kagero deck that now rested at her hip next to her Pale Moon one. "H-he said he had to go somewhere... but he wouldn't say where, and I that I couldn't follow him..." She glanced up again when Haruka appeared like the rest of them, but she was never really close to him anyways.

Instead, she looked back to Yugure, taking a deep breath and a half step forward, as if stepping back physically meant keeping quiet as well. "I-i-i heard you.. say you needed information.. on those unreversed... I-i don't know how much help I'll be... B-but I was unreversed by Seifer... A-and.. I-i... I reversed Noel... She's still out there... I-i don't remember much though... W-wait, actually.." Rosalia pulled out her phone, flipping to her text messages. Sure enough, she still had the message from Neo luring her out to the park, and showed it to Yugure. "I remember meeting someone before being Reversed... and I hate s-saying this.. but I'm almost positive it was Neo.. A-and I still have this.." She put her phone away, withdrawing her Pale Moon deck next. She held up a card to Yugure, though certainly Darren and anyone else listening in would see it: Silver Thorn Dragon Queen, Luquier "Reverse". And yet, despite what the card was, Rosalia held it close in case anyone tried to take it from her.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 08:25:18 PM: Darren was about to tell Yugure that they were better off working with what they had now then fishing for more people and wasting more time, but then Rosalia said her peace. He was right, she had been Reversed as well, and not taking it as well either. Darren looked at the unit, a black ring. It was like his Reverse Daiyusha, but... why was it there? His became Great Daiyusha after the Reverse energy left him. What did it mean that she still had that unit?

"I guess we have that in common," Darren said to her lightly. "Let me guess, her voice was running through your head and it was one of the reasons it made you do things. Daiyusha did the same to me... That's why I don't have him in my deck anymore. I chose to leave him out. Anyway, if Neo is one of them then it means that going places alone is probably a bad idea from now on." Saying that caused him to immediately place his palm onto his head as he realized that Seifer had done exactly that.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 03, 2015, 08:28:10 PM: "Evading you? I mean.... I haven't visited the hospital lately, sorry, plus with all the reverse fighters around, I was evading them not you haha" Hana laughed and teased, "unless you're one yourself. Which I'm glad you're not right?"

She remembered the night at the park, was truly glad she was alright unlike the three that she had met up with. Her fatigue during the time kind of kept some things a blur though, plus she had to fight for this place immediately after. A part of her wanted to press the hospital thing further, what it was he was hospitalized for, because that somewhat concerned her. Did he get severely hurt?

"Well, seeing as how you were the only one that came out fine after meeting up with Sliffer and the Underground King, that would be funny if you were the source of all this." She scratched her head a little, walking up to him and looking him in the eye, "Huh... I do want to ask about how you ended up in the hospital."

Right after that she also remembered that this was Haruka she was talking to as well. Something else seemed off, but her natural imouto reflexes led her to yell it out.

"Haruka! AGHH!!! You're going to make out with Yukinee again!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 08:35:54 PM: Yugure looked at the deck Rosalia had a firm grip on. Seifer told this poor girl she couldn't follow, and didn't tell where he was going. This was a private matter that sounded like it could turn into a problem. "I'm going to need to find-" The woman couldn't even finish her sentence as Rosalia mentioned information from the unreversed. She was Reversed before?! Shock was expressed upon hearing this and Noel still being infected. That was Seifer's sister, wasn't it? ... Yugure stayed quiet, shock fading some, to listen to her. More details would have to come out in the War Room's conference.

Though, Neo was a name unheard of in awhile. Judging by having met him before her memory gaps... it's safe to say Neo did it. How in God's name was he Reversed too? That train of thought broke apart when Luquier "Reverse" was presented. Several researchers almost lost their minds seeing it, and the paladins within the Chosen Sword's mental lobby jumped out of surprise and readiness to address a threat. A couple of heart beats were skipped... That is definitely what Salome reported before: Dark Zone got hit.

"Why..." Yugure didn't understand an interesting point of this. If Rosalia was completely unreversed, how does this card exist in her hand? ... A troubling bit of evidence for suspicions that maybe... the invaders still have a hold over Pale Moon and their Vanguard.

"... Could I see that for a moment? I'll hand it right back to you."

Giving it back might make things worse, but easing the girl's mind was important. Okay, she had an infected card in hand. Instead of saying she may still be infected, handing it back was a way of saying "everything's fine".
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on October 03, 2015, 08:45:54 PM: "That would be really funny, you know. Maybe those handshakes were really my way of sending some evil code. Spooky, right?" He joked to her. Technically, well, logically, Haruka doesn't know what Reverse really is and has never encountered a Reverse fighter. Not only that, but he had never heard the term dubbed like that.

"Were they hurt afterwards? I saw Seifer run off just a moment ago I thought... Hikaru has been out of view since that day since then. Sort of wish he would have stayed a bit longer to chat."

He sighed, shrugging his shoulders. Game of wits. Hana was making this game, rather than a battle. Her voice conveyed an innocent and foolish tone, but she was competent and capable and Sera was more than aware of that. He had a few choices to fill the in the cracks to make sure nobody so the fault in his plan. Luckily nobody here had really seen him recently...

Wait.

"Hana, you were in the park? Why didn't you come and say hi to us or anything? Everyone else left me alone and it was sort of weird. Everything got hazy and ended up passing out really soon after myself." Sera rested a hand on his side, partially hiding the pain from semi-internal bleeding happening as they spoke. A painful life indeed. Luckily his face was often masked with vacancy. Sera was really good at that.

Oh, the hospital/

"Kept waking up in random places, and I felt worse and worse each time. Eventually I just went and checked into the hospital so I could get treated. So I didn't die or anything like that."

Too late. Sera would have to formally apologize for killing of his lover before he left the host body.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 08:48:37 PM: Rosalia hesitated when asked for the card. She should have known Yugure would at least see it... but as long as she gave it back... "J-just.. be careful with it..." she answered, offering the card. It wasn't a request though for Yugure to not just rip it up right there, but more so.. it was like if Rosalia was offering any other card of her deck. She just wanted it to be cared for... and to care for a Reverse card? What other colors are there?... Light blue.. trust... Then she remembered what Darren just said. Her voice was running through your head... Daiyusha did the same to me... That's why I don't have him in my deck anymore. I chose to leave him out... She glanced to her formerly reversed companion, then to her deck. Do you know why I'm still here in this empty world of gray?...

Rosalia looked back to Yugure, holding her hand out for the card back. "I-i think... After I was unreversed, and I saw this card still in my deck, I remembered things like the darkness, and a red ring around me on a blackened circus stage... I also saw.. what I thing was either Earth.. or maybe Cray?... Just everything was gray... But I'm starting to like, remember.. remember colors, as weird as it probably sounds... and I think until I can get over doubting myself, to fill in the missing colors, then... maybe Luquier Reverse will change again... It's just.. a lot harder than you think.."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 08:54:39 PM: Her story sounded like his in a way. Her unit wanted her to see that the world was grey ant that she could use the Reverse to bring color to it. It was just as how Daiyusha told him that power could save the world from the invaders. Did this power make all of the units this dishonest? He chose not to say anything about it. It was confusing enough without telling her that the unit probably lied to her.

He moved his hand to place onto her shoulder lightly. He smiled lightly and said, "Nothing will happen if you really want it back." Most people would have reason to distrust her for protecting a reverse unit so much, but Darren knew that face, those eyes. She didn't have any of its influence anymore. She was scared and confused. He would have been the same if he didn't spend his time working on building himself up as he thought through his next course of actions. "If its really about colors and doubt then we can work on that one step at a time. I mean... you and I went through the same thing, so I wanna help."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 03, 2015, 09:02:07 PM: "I didn't say hi because I too was dying and of exhaustion!" She stomped her foot a bit, just joking of course. "Anyways, you said that your handshakes were evil codes to send the dark energy?" She thought for a moment. Haruka was being funny as always, may as long go with it.

"I'll go tell scientist-san to go take note of it and add it to the data as well as tell Yukino!" She nodded and happily skipped away. A voice in her mind spoke, "Wait, are you being serious? I just took down his energy reading." Hana laughed and responded, "Of course not, but I guess that doesn't hurt.. huh?" She did actually ask the scientist to put Haruka on a watch list though, somehow she never knew how far to take a joke. It would be extra work for this scientist now, poor guy.

She turned back over to him, somewhat ticked off yet glad that he hasn't started his make out session with Yukino yet. More important was his condition at the moment though, since she didn't like of him feeling that way nor hearing of her friends ending up in hospitals in general. May as well celebrate his return, though she wasn't sure how. "By the way, you should make me my favorite frappe, if you remember how I still like it. We should head on over somewhere tonight to celebrate you feeling better."

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 09:21:57 PM: After finishing up at the beach, Seifer stepped off of a bus after paying for the transport, walking into the the facility and... He stopped mid stride, staring right at Haruka. He just stood there like that. He hadn't seen Haruka since... Since... when? When was the last time he saw him? Stupid memory problems. Why couldn't he remember anything? Standing off to the side he continued to stare at Haruka, trying to think... Trying to remember. It was odd for Seifer to be so focused on one single person.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 09:22:50 PM: Yugure summoned Blaster Blade's sword, and used it to emit a light that contained Luquier's infected form in a bubble. "Give me some room, and clear off that table", the queen ordered nearby scientists. Slowly and carefully, she moved into the room she was in before fighting Darren. The levitating card was very gently placed down, and the weapon vanished. A deep breath... another... this would require extreme concentration. A task was before the Meister that was never dreamed of: replicating an infected unit. This was an amazing opportunity to research and analyze a Reversed card directly. Was it even possible to duplicate the power of the invaders, though?

Instead of being scared of the result, there was more fear in what would happen for not trying.

Pupils morphing into shining blades, the Meister began her work. Glowing outlines of the Silver Thorn ringleader's whip and armor appeared, and tracing them was very simple. The problem was the Black Ring. The woman poured every ounce of energy possible in recreating it. Visibly struggling, one could see that the ring was rejecting its own creation, trying to push her back. Is my power not enough...?! Mentally screaming, it was all she could do to just keep pressing on. Violent crackling of red electricity sparked about as a portion of the ring was completed, emitting the same power as Link Joker.

But they weren't having this.

Yugure screamed in pain as the connection broke and the half-finished Black Ring shattered into pieces. The Meister still worked with it, however. Bleeding from the head, lying against machines, the blacksmith merged the fragments with the whip and armor. Luquier Reverse's card was duplicated, but a large portion of it was without color nor text. They didn't even get her written name, just some of the ringmaster's art.

Seething pain coursed through her arms, and it left her crying softly in agony, clenching teeth. "F-Fu..."

The researchers took the replicated product. It was better than nothing. Then, someone handed the original card back to its owner.

Yugure couldn't make out a single word Rosalia spoke. Alfred had to repeat it to his vanguard as she was trying to catch her breath.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 09:31:37 PM: Rosalia lowered her hand as Yugure started to walk, following closely yet.. stayed a respectable distance. She just wanted to make sure Luquier was alright. But did she smile a bit at Darren, saying he wanted to help her. Perhaps she needed another friend's help, one who was reversed and then unreversed, to figure out what she was missing; to get over her fear.

But watching Yugure work... what she saw was a science she never dreamed would exist, or perhaps it was magic? The redhead didn't quite understand what was happening, only that Yugure by the end was in pain... Once handed her card back, Rosalia looked it over for a few moments. It was untouched, the other strangers having taken whatever they extracted from her unit. She put it with her deck like any other card that belonged, and knelt by Yugure's side. "H-hey... are you okay?.." she asked, resting a hand in comfort on the other female's shoulder. "J-just take it easy... Everything is alright... Did you eat or drink anything earlier?..."

"Try not to strain yourself.." he said, to Yukino after her amazing feat just now.

Walking out with his brother he waved to everyone trying to stop his brother from running for Hana's autograph, but took the chance to say something to Rosalia,"..If Neo really is the reason you're suffering like this...then I will personally deal with him.."

The two brothers exit the facility waving goodbye to everyone.

Post by: Jello on October 03, 2015, 09:35:36 PM: The sound of screams off to the side sent Sera in a slight panic. This is the time that Haruka would rush to her side. Strangely enough, Sera did exactly that. Instinctively he moved to her side, grabbing her hand in his. Something for comfort, should she want it. He returned his attention to Hana again.

"F-Frappe? Huh, oh sure. Whenever we go out somewhere that I can, it should not be a problem." Lying through his teeth. Haruka was fully capable of making one, the only problem was Sera never really paid much attention when he did that, so he doesn't remember any of the numbers that he had used for sugar or anything. Remembering the motions might get a passing grade, but only just barely. Time for muscle memory to kick in.

Once again, he looked at Yugure who was currently bleeding.

"Are you okay, Yugure?"

He gripped her hand slightly tighter to get her attention; make sure she was still conscience. He looked around. Target 0 stood in the hallway back at the Training Facility. Strange he returned after leaving so soon. A very slight cold sweat broke out.

"Seifer. Its good to see you. You feeling okay?" He smiled, still holding onto Yugure's hand.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 09:39:11 PM: Darren walked with the two to see what was happening as well. He stayed nearby Rosalia as he didn't want to leave her alone. He did see what Yugure was doing. It was like a more complicated version of how Great Daikaiser was made, using the unit as a base to create something more, but Darren had used the machines to do it with Daikaiser's aid. Yugure seemed to be doing it all on her own, and with a much different kind of power.

When he saw her in pain, Darren went to Yugure's side with Rose. He placed a hand on her back and said, "Don't do too much. We don't know if we can even know what that unit is about, but we already know its got a power we don't want going into you. He started taking off his own bandages, wrapping up the spots in which she was bleeding, or at least the ones he could see. He wasn't even sure what was happening, let alone if he could help or not. Hopefully his information and knowledge of these things could assist since he might be able to help with finishing that duplicate.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 09:42:24 PM: Seifer's mind started to race and with Yugure now bleeding and hurt, everything in his mind started to crumble. He couldn't remember anything. His head started pounding as he tried so hard to piece it all together while panicking. He couldn't remember, why couldn't he remember? Then... It clicked. Several memories flashed back to him from that night. Haruka calling him out to the park, a sharp electric shock like pain, darkness... Constant pain from it all. It all rushed back, and pure unadulterated anger coming with it. It was at that moment Seifer pretty much lost control of his emotions. "You!!" he shouted, unfortunately without him actually wanting to. His aura of flames exploded, becoming massive, though it really wouldn't have much of a physical effect on the area around them, save for a blistering heat that could be felt mostly because of the rage. His face was also contorted into one of psychopathic rage, a look that... If she were able to pay attention after what happened to her, Yukino would recognize fully. He seemed like he was losing himself to his Reverse, and it didn't really help he was not only acting out of character for him, but his aura was giving off copious amounts of Reverse energy.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 09:47:45 PM: "A-Aaaah..." Yugure's arms were practically on fire, and blood had appeared in the palms of her hands as well. Blacksmith Magic could only carry so far it seems, especially when forces were actively working against this happening. Still... such a violent response was not expected. Numbness like this hadn't been felt since a year ago when she cloned the massive super weapons of energy. Breathing heavily, the Chosen Sword found some relief when her boyfriend, Rosalia, and Darren darted over to check on her. Haruka taking her bloodied hand helped her feel even better too.

"I'm..."

Christ, she wasn't alright. There was barely any feeling in her limbs that weren't searing pain.

"I'm... alright..."

Lies anyway.

"Argh..." The woman groaned, simply trying to reduce the numbing of her arms somehow. Rosalia asked if she ate or drank anything. The only thing Yugure's had in awhile was a little of that energy drink. The thought of that was lost in the explosive flames of Seifer suddenly flipping out. His aura was DEFINITIVELY that of the invaders, and it didn't take just the queen to realize that. Everyone who had knowledge of Link Joker could see that, but scientists were all too terrified to get close.

... Since... when does... Haruka call her Yugure? Ahmes thought to himself while the scene played out.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 09:57:46 PM: Rosalia frowned at Yugure's quiet response. She was not fine, but the redhead yelped when she felt an all too familiar energy. The more she remembered, the more she remembered about being Reversed... the strange aura... but this aura was different still, just somehow. What made it worse was that it was emitting from none other than Seifer, who had returned not long ago since he hadn't walked over to her side. What was going on?... Rosalia glanced at Darren and Haruka, yet without a word, she stood and positioned herself between the group and Seifer, staring at the raging brunette. "S-seifer..." She took a deep breath, then a step as she exhaled. Breathe in, step, exhale. Breathe in, step, exhale. She was shaking noticeably, one hand on her deck, and the other on the Kagero one. Dragonic Overlord... I know you're not mine to ask for help, but give me a little strength... Just enough to help him... she prayed silently, not even sure if she would get an answer. Luquier...

Rosalia stopped walking when she was about fifteen feet away from Seifer, and though her shaking remained in her limbs, she didn't shy away. "Wake up... Seifer, please wake up!!" A fresh wave of tears rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't care. She stared at the brunette, her boyfriend, and wondered if this is exactly what it felt when Seifer had seen her while she was Reversed.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on October 03, 2015, 10:00:51 PM: The strings of this play were starting to come to wind. Everything was tangling into a ball of wire of chaos. Sera indulged in it, with a silent chuckle from the inside. He lived for this sort of thing anyways. Chaos. Breathing in deeply, he looked to Yugure.

"I am glad you are alright, then. We should talk later..." He left a kiss on her cheek. His lips were cold. A corpse kissing the living, so strange is it not?

Sera left her hand rather quickly, approaching Seifer. He stood a yard or so away from the man, a solemn gaze crossing over the area. He bit his lip, shaking his head.

"What about me, Seifer? You look really ticked right now. Would you like to talk about it?" Sera pocketed his hands. His face was out of view of everyone, except Seifer who was by the entrance. A Cheshire grin was pasted on his face, a hysterical laugh wanting to burst out at the furious man. The Cray-Born conscience was having more fun with all of this then he really should. Maybe this is how Chaos Breaker felt to mess with people...

"So, can I help you?" A distortion in space time turned his grin into a dark expression in an instant. It was as if his face had turned into a television screen, swapping between channels of expressions at light speed. Humor, anger, solemnity, happiness, and seriousness, all swept across Haruka's face.

"Tell me Seifer, what's bothering you."

He felt the presence of everyone around him. The tethers of Reverse all directed to Seifer. Of course they did, because he was supposed to be the prime target; the first reversal and General of the invasion. Sadly that was cut short by Overlord's desire to keep things in order. Foolish.

Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 10:04:54 PM: Darren rose up immediately when he felt that aura in the room. He turned and saw that it was coming from Seifer. His eyes widened as it was just like Oshiro. No, it was worse than that. If that wasn't the biggest problem, Rosalia was going directly towards it. Of course she would do that, but it wouldn't help anything if she got hurt.

He ran towards them, stopping just in front of Rosalia as he had his deck in hand. Seifer didn't seem like he was trying to Reverse anyone, but if it came to that, he would stop him.

He wasn't like this before he left the building... Did something happen, or did something he did out there trigger it?

What do you mean by trigger?

The mark under his eye was there the entire time, but this aura wasn't before now. It could mean this was in him from the start but he had control over it until now.

Does that mean he's a bad guy too?

He only has one so he might be a special case. Still, he doesn't seem to be in control now. I'll knock sense into him if need be.

It was then that he noticed Haruka was talking to Seifer. Why didn't he seem as worried as everyone else? Could he be connected to what happened?

Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 10:09:06 PM: ... What kind of kiss was that? It was frozen - without warmth. It almost felt like there weren't even feelings behind the action. I... need to stop them... played in the soldier's mind, putting the lack of warm love aside. Clutching onto the machinery with the returning feelings of her arms, the bloodied queen stood back up, barely. Yugure was wobbling, using the technology to support her.

D-Damn...

Leaning back, she couldn't really move forward. The impact of being sent flying had thrust a noteworthy amount of pain through her legs too.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 10:09:35 PM: The aura kept growing in size, flickering and wavering between the orange and crimson of flames, and the black of the reverse still trapped inside of his body. Seifer was definitely acting strange. He even outwardly ignored his beloved, keeping his focus entirely on Sera, who everyone knew as Haruka in the current moment.

"Calm down!" Mordred actually appeared behind the male trying to calm him and yet... It was no avail.

"This is all your fault! All of it! Seifer yelled at Haruka again, falling for the taunting. Oh man what pure anger does to people. The aura around the male grew in intensity until the flames were licking the ceiling and engulfing the counters that were around Seifer. A machine or two sparked but probably just from energy overflow.

"Seifer!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 03, 2015, 10:11:02 PM: "Yukino." Hana reminded him, "I hate that name. I'll remember the coffee offer hehe." She smiled.

Suddenly, things just broke out again. This place was cursed, Cero did this on purpose. Hana's break time was over, but she figured that since she forgot to do this while she was fighting against Darobo since she was too busy on the fight itself. Now with others around, she could play the role of and observer.

"Whats the use of seeing this with your power. You can already see it?!" Nociel asked.
"My RNGesus just listen to me!" Hana poked back, activating star gazing and sending up a light formation of herself on the top angle, a certain corner of the room.
"I see, I'll record this Princess." Minette nodded.
"There is..." Star Rain paused.

Thanks to Sliffer, Hana was able to find out. The very nature of her power was that she would have no blind spots, as long as light particles exist within the area. While looking over to the places where black rings hovered, she couldn't tell the difference between a pitch blank spot where her sight doesn't exist or the blackness of the ring itself. Seeing it this close up, she was able to figure it out that she could detect reverse energy even if it's faint by looking at someone and seeing if her vision of them is skewed or not. She scanned over the area. Yukinee was clear... Darobo and Red-chan were letting out small remaining remnants of it.

Haruka was blurry, the area around him was twisting, it was unlike the others.

"Noted." Minette landed pen to paper, or however Great Nature units wrote.
"That explains a lot." Meer commented.
"Uh? So do we use the combo here?!" Nociel panicked.
"Just do it!" Star Rain screamed.

The light clone that Hana created formed into an arrow and Love Machine Gun Nociel's image appeared, "Ultimate Light Combo!" The bow was set back and the Princess stood tall, commanding her unit. "Love Arrow Shooto!" The arrow of light, a deep concentration of light particles was shot in between Haruka and Seifer, causing a radiant explosion.

"What was the point of that?" Meer questioned.
"It wasn't that much light" Minette explained, "Hana and I are going to read the reactions of the reverse energy to the things strips of light that she shot out. With this we could get more workable data for what we're up against."
"How was that?" Nociel winked.
"Could've done better." Hana laughed.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 10:18:38 PM: Rosalia looked to Darren who stood between her and Seifer, resting a hand on the male's arm that held his deck. "S-stop, you can't fight him!" If Darren would fight Seifer now, the winner was obvious... She went to say something else, only to see Haruka join the crowd... and clearly wasn't himself. What was going on anymore?... Was Haruka.. the mastermind behind it all?... The strange grin, his voice alone.. It was definitely wrong.

Then the aura grew, the redhead pulling Darren back a few steps to a safer distance from the flames. Thi-is is bad... Her free hand grabbed the Kagero deck, Rosalia looking down at the breakride form of Dragonic Overlord. H-he said you would let me know what was happening... Why are you quiet... Please just help him somehow... she prayed again, shutting her eyes tightly. Her tears fell so that they landed on the Kagero card, her gaze lifting again in worry for the brunette. Seifer...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on October 03, 2015, 10:22:06 PM: "My fault? I apologize if anything I said, hmm, got to you. Sin-ce-re-ly." The grin was a twisted manifestation of pure enjoyment of watching others crumble. He was soaking in the moment. But Sera became cold again once a sudden flashbang went off in front of him. Probably could have played that off better. He simply blinked past it. Light never really affected his vision due to the red aura surrounding him, constantly warping space and time in minor fragments to make every physical position he existed in optimal to him. He was in theory invincible, but only to a degree. No matter how optimal a four-foot radius around him is, a nuclear bomb is much bigger than that.

He craned his neck around, sighing.

"Hana, come on. That wasn't very nice, you know." He rubbed his left eye playfully.

Back to the boy. Everything leading this was a calm before the storm. Sera took a step back, raising an eyebrow. He wanted to provoke the boy, but only to a certain degree. If he tried to get physical, this entire operation went into jeopardy. Instead, he placed himself besides Yugure-er, Yukino, once more. He reached for her, to help her regain her composure a bit.

"You might not want to move, you could seriously injure yourself."

To Seifer.

"And you. Stop throwing around accusations. Everybody here is tired and emotionally stressed out. If you want to yell at me, at least do it when other people won't be hurt or scared of us. You wouldn't want to hurt anybody, right...?" He showed a real hint of sincerity there. Of all the twisted words and falsities he would spit for the rest of his life, that was truth. Even he, didn't want to hurt somebody. Haruka, who was now dead, never got to say his goodbyes. He might never get to, depending on how long it takes for the plan to take course. Haruka's body might completely dissipate at this rate, before he can finally...-

"We don't want to hurt people. So stand down now." Sera commanded. He never used that forceful kind of tone before, but it was one of a commanding officer. Somebody who was trained to keep people in line.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 10:23:53 PM: That light... Burst. Whatever it was, the part of it that was near Seifer were merely devoured by his dark flames, fueling whatever it was even more. The particles themselves would turn dark before being absorbed as well so that wasn't really good. Mordred however shielded his eyes from the burst. Seifer then took a stance that would probably be even more disturbing for two people in the room. He took the fabled Dauntless Reverse stance, his eyes growing wild now. "Ahahahahaha! This is more like it!" Seifer's voice was now overlayed with a secondary voice, just like in the space of his mind from a few nights ago. Seifer then burst into wild laughter staring directly at Haruka, his hand over his face, a manic grin spread over his face. The single eye that could be seen from under the hand was creepy enough with how psychotic it was, though it was now crimson. "I should really thank you for all this wonderful power! Ahahahahahahaaaaaaa~! What's a good reward, huh? Oh! Oh, I know! I'll wipe eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverything out! Including you! How's that sound? Hehahahahahaha!" another fit of insane laughter overtook Seifer, though his wild eyes stayed on Haruka the entire time, even as he spoke, apologizing and everything, though none of it was sincere at all.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 10:26:18 PM: Well, that was a nice light show.

What are you talking about, Kaizard?

Humans can't see it, but your friend Hana just shot some energy at Seifer and that other guy. Speaking of him, there's something off about him. Its not like Seifer's energy spike either. Something a lot different.

Could he be... the one with the blade?

Doubtful, but he is important. But you probably shouldn't fight this one. The girl there is having another panic attack.

Darren looked at his arm to realize it was being held. He turned to Rose before looking up at Yugure. Everything was going to hell in a handbasket and with all that Darren had done to get stronger, he couldn't do anything about this. Something about it was daunting, crushing. He was probably far out of his league but he didn't care. His friends were suffering right now and he needed to do something about that. But what even could he do?
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 10:38:43 PM: Rosalia unintentionally gripped Darren's arm tighter, more so because things were bad enough, and just getting worse. She didn't know what to do.. Seifer had lost it, and was completely ignoring her. Haruka was most likely the evil weirdo behind it all... She put the Kagero deck back in its clip on her hip, and released Darren's arm. If Seifer was going to ignore her in this.. possessed state, then the least she could do was try to help Yugure. Only Haruka was already there. The redhead put herself between Haruka's outstretched hand and Yugure, arms spread to act as the injured female's shield. "I-i got her... Give her some room..." she said, swallowing the fear that continued to rise in her throat. Her eyes were filled with fear from both Haruka and Seifer, but she stared at the male anyways, holding her ground.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 03, 2015, 10:54:40 PM: Differences were found. Sliffer's energy reacted, the light had an effect. Haruka's continued to act the same on the most part, as if his energy naturally twisted the light.

"Sending the data to CEO Amaterasu." Minette made printer noises. What?
"Seems like we found our lead... on accident." Meer laughed. "Uh.. our way of doing things! Yeah.. totally." Pacifica would be so proud.
"Well, that mean's he's the special one. Could he be the origin?" Star Rain asked.

With what happened in the park, Minette had to kind of drive it into Hana's head, but that was it. Sliffer's form of energy sucked up the light, giving her blindspot with her power, while Haruka's blurred it out and changed what was seen, acting like a coat to protect the main body at all times. By doing that, reverse energy would be sent out, but not the same way as everyone else. He isn't reversed, he's different from the others, but he has the void energy for sure, that's what Hana confirmed. In the end it may have just been something only the few could have, maybe it was something that only he could have?..

"Well, it plants the reverse and then it grows." Minette joked. "The scholars here would like to call it the seed."
"Wha..." Hana was distraught at the sudden naming.
"I like it," Nociel agreed.

The scientists were at a panic, the one that Hana had told to keep an eye on Haruka had actually done his job and rushed to her, giving her data on the reverse energy around him. Minette and the facility's matched up pretty well. She looked at the data table to see what the title was for the energy. "The Seed."

"Really, is this the official name now?" Hana nearly facepalmed.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on October 03, 2015, 11:04:17 PM: Seifer was in a near distort rampage. Only a few ways to go about this... But Hana was bustling around for sure. What was she....

"Hana. What is going on over there? You guys got really busy all of a sudden." He was trying to steady his host's beloved, however was abruptly stopped by Rosalia. What was that about...

Turning his attention to the power-crazed Seifer. Reverses effect was going into overdrive, meaning the energy redirected was finally finding its way to the correct target.

Suck it Overlord!

With that, the third general would finally be under the commander's reign, allowing for the campaign to rush down even further. His time here was for sure coming to an end. Time to use the second power he had been holding on to.

With a sigh, Sera stood up and walked to Seifer's side, standing in the opposite direction of him.

With the voice overlay he had been hiding with a slightly lower overtone, that sounded more like Haruka's voice, it became easy to create time space distortions through his voice alone. This was one of those times.

"Seifer. Come with me now. We have something to discuss." He left this small message ringing his Seifer's head, or rather, the energy consuming it. Sera walked out the entrance of the building leaving everything in the capable hands of the Cardfight Club. Woo hoo. Sera really needs a drink right now. But first, the park. His body revitalized there the fastest, due to the host body having a connection there. That was the target area.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 03, 2015, 11:30:53 PM: Yugure gave an angry look at Haruka, not very pleased with how physical contact with him felt. This whole situation was a mess with that parasite of a being coming out of Seifer. Alfred told his Vanguard that the princess and others had succeeded in discovering something enormous. Before that, however, her boyfriend and Rosalia's boyfriend were prioritized concerns. Seeing the other girl act as guardian against Haruka, the soldier motioned forward, leaning on her.

"What... the hell... is going on..."

Haruka was departing, and Yugure wasn't sure to chase after him to catch up, or chase after him in order to make an arrest. What did he have to do with this, when he barely knew anything? No... there was a terrible feeling within the space around her beloved. It was undeniable, even.

"Haruka..."

A trembling, dissonant queen whimpered.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 03, 2015, 11:34:07 PM: The message implanted in his mind echoed so much it almost hurt. But Haruka was now gone, and Seifer Reverse was supposed to follow. Well, alright then. As the aura died down the male turned quietly, following after Sera and not looking back. There was still only one mark, but it was undeniable now. He was completely reversed. "Tch... who does he think he is ruining my fun... Kill joy... I'll just make sure to erase him when this is alllllll over..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 03, 2015, 11:36:18 PM: Darren glared at Haruka. He wasn't Reversed, not in the sense that he once was. This was something else. Something a lot worse. He wanted to run out after him when he left but he was immediately stopped.

Don't even think about it. You don't even know what you are up against right now. Sometimes you have to know when to be rash and charge in, and when to think your way through things. As much fun as it would be to rush in, I can't have you take on a suicide mission.

Daikaiser's words were literally holding him in place, keeping him still until he calmed down. He gave a deep sigh, turning to Seifer with a frown. Did Haruka really do this to Seifer? Did he start all of this from the beginning? He didn't know what to think anymore, just that his friends needed him.

If you have time to worry about things like this, worry for your friends. If you want to protect them, you're gonna have to get stronger.

He hated that Kaizard was right. For now all he could do was hope there was something he could do for Seifer. If not, then at least he could tend to the people here. He walked back as he saw Seifer was leaving as well. Daikaiser told him not to fight either of them. He hated the idea of it but there was nothing he could do.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 03, 2015, 11:44:54 PM: Rosalia watched Haruka leave, but not before stopping and saying something to Seifer. Sure enough, Seifer followed the other male out of the training area... She shuddered at the feeling. Her boyfriend had completely lost it, but part of her wondered just how terrible she had acted while Reversed... or Noel, who is still MIA...

When she felt someone leaning on her, the redhead looked back to see Yugure standing, sort of. Normally, she would have smiled to see that she was being useful, at least a little, but after what had just transpired... "I-i think Haruka isn't himself... and I think he's behind Seifer being half reversed or whatever now, so who knows what else he's been up to. Seifer.. said 'thank you for all this wonderful power'.. so I think my guess is a safe one..." Rosalia held still for the most part, afraid of moving and having Yugure lose her grip. But, she carefully turned, and gave the other female a quick hug. "Don't worry.. We'll get them both back to normal... You're hurt though... You should stay here, rest and recover."

When she pulled back from the hug, she helped Yugure to the closest seat before looking to Darren. "I'm gonna act as scout. I'm not very useful as a fighter, but I can at least run pretty fast. And I have my cell, so if something goes south with Seifer and Haruka, I can warn you guys here. I'm not sure who else here are actual fighters though, so keep an eye on Yugure... Plus, being alone may keep me hidden better..." Part of her didn't want to go, yet she also knew that she wasn't able to fight right now. Not with her indecision with Luquier Reverse. And if something went wrong here, she would be just like the other cowering scientists... Her hand rested over the Kagero deck by her side. "I still owe him everything... Please take care of Yugure and the others!" With that, Rosalia was out the door before she lost sight of the danger.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 03, 2015, 11:50:36 PM: Hana ran over to her mess of a sister and did her best to support, her putting her arms around her or anything really, she wasn't that good at this since it was usually the other way around and all the cliches, but whatever. She called out to a few workers and got them into action beyond the few acts of data recording and research, she sent them to go and get medical help for some floor of this building. There should be one. Next up was Haruka who was now the confirmed public enemy number one, at least all the data supports it. With further recording of what he did, he transferred another distortion over to Sliffer before walking out. It was betrayal, and he was bringing other friends against their will to go with him. Did he betray them all on his own free will? What happened? As much as Hana had learned just now, this wasn't making much sense.

"Tell the council." Hana commanded.
"There isn't much left of them..." Star Rain reminded her.
"..." Hana let out a frustrated groan in her silence.

The course of action was hard to plan at this point. It seems that they would have to reassemble a good deal of the council if they wanted to get anywhere against the enemy. With the way in which Haruka acted towards Seifer, it was likely that Hikaru and maybe even others have fallen prey to a similar kind of allure. There were subordinates upon subordinates. This power looked for an army and the influence of reverse was its way of achieving its goals.

The way that Seifer acted, now that she thought about it reminded her of Mi-hime.

"... Getting close to Haruka brings forth that energy and it acts on his own even without his command from what I observed so. Mi-hime's condition was getting better until Haruka came over for breakfast that one day, and then once I started bringing him home more often she never woke up. During the camping trip in which he was taken far away from her she did... so." Hana paused for a moment.

"It was all my fault."

Watching Rosalia bolt out frustrated her as well, there was no need for it since she could see everything they'd do with her own power anyways, but she was so lost in her own thoughts to say a word and was completely out of focus. With a large feeling of guilt and failure, Hana leaned over to her sister as the medical help was brought along.

"Yukino I figured it all out, but I feel so ..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 12:01:28 AM: Darren banged his hand against the nearest wall. He didn't even care about the pain it brought. Now Rose had decided to leave as well and again, AGAIN, Daikaiser tells him to patiently wait here. What could be so horrible that he couldn't go and do something about it? What could they be dealing with that his unit believed he couldn't fight right now.

Darren wanted to scream, but it wouldn't help anything if he did that. He took a long, deep breath as he tried to think through what was happening now. Haruka appears and suddenly shows himself to be some ultimate evil. He did something to Seifer and now he is on their side. Noel was somewhere going through the same pain and now Rose was going off by herself to figure some of this out. Why couldn't he just do something about it all?

He turned to Hana and Yugure. The two sisters were in as much distress as he was. It wouldn't be right to leave them here by themselves. Besides, he could probably do more here than he could fumbling in the dark out there. It didn't help that his body hadn't fully recovered from his run-in with Oshiro. If he was in a fight that intense against a Reverse Fighter, it might have a lasting effect on his body. Was that why Daikaiser didn't want him to go?

"Hana... Yugure..." Darren said plainly as he walked up to them. His hand was dripping with blood. He punched that wall hard with a still injured hand. He held it up anyway and said, "How soon can we get our friends back? I'm ready to do whatever I have to do to make that happen."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 12:26:54 AM: Darren and Yugure's phones went off with a text message from Rosalia, as promised.

I followed Seifer and Haruka to the park, but there was this weird... barrier.. I couldn't hear what they said when it came up, but Haruka is leaving now. Seifer is... I think under control of himself again. I hope you understand why I'll stay with him instead of following Haruka. -Rosalia
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 12:31:02 AM: Darren grabbed his phone immediately and saw Rosalia's message. He gave a small sigh of relief as he was still curious as to what in the hell was happening. It couldn't be helped now though. It seemed that any trail they had was cold.

As long as you're safe, that's what counts. One thing at a time. We have to get him back to his friends then think about what we'll do about Haruka.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 12:33:21 AM: Haha, happy? No, God didn't allow Yugure Espoir to ever be happy. Not for long, anyway. The woman had decided on chasing after Haruka to make an arrest. Unfortunately, even steeling herself for this didn't change the fact that she was wounded, and couldn't go on with Rosalia. Sat down by her support, she found herself hugged by Hana. A burning desire to puke arose, feeling a heavy gravity of emotions nearly bringing her out of the chair and onto the ground if the princess wasn't here. Everything had been worked out between Yugure and Haruka... and yet... this... this just left her... what did it leave her? Pain like this... felt numb too.

...

Yugure said nothing. Words meant nothing, and actions would revolve around going at war with her lover.

A simple responding hug was given to Hana, hoping to give off some warmth to the princess, who looked like she needed it. The queen, however, didn't know if there was any left to give.

"... As I thought", Blaster Blade spoke, having figured things out.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 04, 2015, 01:19:27 AM: "Thanks." Hana held her sister as well. Things weren't going to fix themselves and the situation would only escalate.

She stood from her sister's side, "sorry, but I just have to let something out." as she walked off, a glow of light began to develop in her right hand. Her eyes turned back to normal as she walked out, closed and relaxed. Step by step the light in her hand grew stronger. Beyond the distortion in the park, she wasn't able to see much, but before that.

Before that...

He was crying, ah yes, crying just like everyone else. It seems that the world was so twisted that even the evil suffer from their own wrong doings. Fate itself was to blame. Why was he crying? Why do many suffer? What was reverse? In the end, Hana couldn't answer these herself since it was beyond her experience. Walking out into the starlight, the sky shone down on the Princess as she was given a report of all the happenings on Cray by the council.

Dauntless Drive Dragon has been taken by the enemy.
Amon has been taken.
Luquier is still showing remnants of Reverse.
Daiyusha is still recovering.
Leopald is still recovering.
Neo Nectar is in chaos.
Narukami has lost many key figures.
Megacolony has been defeated.
Maelstorm is nowhere to be found, a siege had come upon the Aqua Force.
Nova Grappler is fighting a losing battle
Cray is in danger.
The Invaders keep attacking.
Their forces are growing.

"Cray's Vanguard has failed."

...

I failed?

Her image of light returned to her from the park, twisted and glowing in red, parts of it slowly being sucked into the void that it held in its hands. She observed the power of the void eat up her body double, taking it slowly as it seeped the particles that it was made of. A bittersweet grin lay across her face.

The image stayed there, slowly getting taken in by the void that it had gotten from the distortion, and meanwhile, Hana gathered more and more light into her hands. The source wasn't from the stars nor any outside source around her. The source of this light was her heart, her love, her own emotions, it was what had been protecting her, no matter what, keeping her from falling into the path of the void. This wasn't against her will, this was voluntary.

By the end of it, Hana's entire body glowed, a candle in the darkness, a light so pure and brilliant that even the distorted power of nothingness that her doppelganger held was able to suck it in. With a smile, she spoke softly as the light focused into her hand, enough particles to create a nuclear explosion, maybe even twice the power of one. She threw it up into the sky and for a moment, the skies turned blue. In flash, it accelerated, eventually disappearing and making its way into Cray, exploding all over its skies as a proclamation. The Princess wasn't the one being threatened by the invaders now, she was the one sending them the threat, that her power along with the rest of humanity's along with that of Cray's is enough to destroy them. The message that she softly whispered into the the light resounded before the whole planet.

"To the Invaders: For what you have done, the Princess is going to kill you all. Thanks for bringing your forces to my land, that means I can personally beat you all in myself."

That was it, own supply of light that would protect her from the darkness.

"Hana..." Reit uttered.
"Do what you gotta do, I'll take care of Reit and will be the first to welcome you when you get back." Meer weeped.
"...No do you really have to?" Star Rain begged.
"Sacrifices must be made in research.. its all for the sake of knowledge." Minette turned away.

As for knowledge's sake, getting herself in this would increase the amount of data that Minette has stored, its all for the sake of research. This was going to do many things at once. To overcome the power herself, to feel what Mi-hime felt, this would make up for her sins. She would get to understand the others as well, live as they did and feel the power which they feared. The final reason was for the crying man over at the park, Haruka. She had promised him that regardless of the circumstances, even after what they did, she would stay by her side. It would be dishonorable to fail to fulfill her promise. The Princess must understand it all, everyone's suffering. After all, that would be the only way that she would be able to find a solution.

"Let's go, Bella-chan." Nociel said.
"Hey.. maybe I might even get to put you in the deck." Hana teased with a few tears in her eyes.

She reached her finger to her doppelganger and with all the light in her heart taken away, her body was freely able to take in all of the reverse energy that she had brought herself. The light her heart was now replaced with the void, her "love" now distorted to its own will. It was then that she began to understood, the power of reverse, the suffering of everyone, those whom she must protect. She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the energy take her more, not fighting back as it stung every piece of her being, and her soul was reached by its power. A weakness grew inside of her and she understood how Mi-hime felt, feeling even more guilt, a feeling of negativity that was answered by a larger influx of void energy. Suddenly, power... a power that now led her to understand those who have been reversed. Before become completely taken, she reduced her other three decks to a small ball of light and sent them up into the stars. Then, as she held on to her fourth deck, her Angel Feathers, the void had completely taken her.

"Order cannot be maintained by simply banishing sinners or saving the weak. What must be done is the annihilation of everyone. If there is no villain, no suppressor, no living ones... the world would become peaceful without any disturbance. All creations shall be "granted" mean punishment, inevitable destruction and eternal order..."

The Princess, looked onto the unit that she had received.
"Let's go.. Princess." Nociel supported her.
"Now then, I wonder who's strong enough to stop us... Hmm. I'll give them a medal of honor or something." Hana began to walk.
"Too reckless! Just like your sister!"
"Pink haired trash... Agh!" She grasped her head, the pain was far larger than she anticipated.
"Bella-chan!" Nociel screamed.
"These guys sure treat their subordinates poorly.. anyways... I can still maintain some control though I might go crazy sometimes so forgive me. Our knight in shining armor better come soon or this is going to suck..." Hana let out a small complaint.
"Haha..." Nociel laughed.

"Let's go do some cleaning up."

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 01:25:50 AM: Sighing softly to herself in relief, Rosalia entered the facility again with a brunette by her side. Between now and the park, the male had woken up enough to walk on his own, but they (thankfully) didn't come across any Reverse Fighters. Perhaps they just got lucky, or the fighters were gathering at the school where Noel is supposedly claiming dominion. Haruka had gone off somewhere, and she wondered now what Satoshi would be doing. Satoshi seemed to be reversed... but he's not crazy and mindless like the others... He seemed more like Seifer, sort of... The thought made the redhead turn to her companion. He hadn't said a word during their walk, but she did entwine their fingers as they ventured further into the facility to find the others.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 01:29:36 AM: Seifer kept his fingers lightly entwined with the red head's, though let her lead the way. His eyes were both bloodshot, half shut and directed at the ground. He felt sick, mostly just from crying to much. There wasn't much he could do right now. He was actually starting to feel like he was to weak to do anything for anyone now. The news he got... His burden to carry. It was crushing and...

"...'re...ght. Acce...y...wer." the voice again. All these voices he was hearing needed to go away, especially if they weren't going to be remotely coherent. His mind right now was trying to focus on how he'd be able to face Yukino after this. He couldn't tell her, but she deserved so much closure... and he couldn't.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 04, 2015, 01:31:19 AM: "Rosalia, wait!"

Satoshi had followed her and Seifer back. Something inside of him ached, and he felt like he needed answers to it. His hand was burning something fierce now.

Twisted as he was, a need to confess had started to build. It was as though his interactions with Noel had started to unravel the hold Nebula Lord and Cheru had on his emotions. If this was the base of operations he had followed them back to, then maybe...maybe there was a chance to find the Seed and fix everything. Even if he didn't know what would happen if he, still in possession of this power, encountered the Seed itself.

But he had to see. This was his only chance. "Please...take me to them...I need to see the Espoirs..." Pain etched itself in his voice. The Lock on his heart, realizing these people's despair was unaffected by Reverse, was starting to crack, more and more.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 01:36:34 AM: Seeing Hana walk out was more than Darren could take, he followed her, seeing what she did to herself. Darren looked with wide eyes as Hana basically changed right in front of him. Now even Hana was Reversed? He never would have expected things would come to this. Still, if he was going to do anything to help this cause, this was a start.

You never have beaten her before. Literally, you never win against her.

"First time for everything," Darren replied out loud. He held up his deck and said, "Bad body or not, the least I can do is repay what you did for me before. I'll get that power out of you!"

He still wasn't sure how it got IN her to begin with but he was prepared to fight all the same. It was the least he could do for her, even if she probably didn't see him as much of a challenge, he had to do something. He was basically shouting at air at this point but it didn't change the fact that he meant his words.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 01:41:55 AM: Rosalia glanced over her shoulder, tilting her head, seeing Satoshi had followed them back to the Training Area. Was that a safe thing to do, given that he was Reversed in a way?... He seemed to be in control of himself though... at least for now, as the redhead remembered how quickly Seifer had gone from in control to twelve rails over on the crazy train. "Ah.. I know Yugure is being taken care of for injuries... but where that is, or where Hana is, I'm not sure... Your best bet would be to-" she cut off as she heard Darren from a room somewhere nearby. Something seemed to be going wrong, like usual... "I would suggest heading that way.. Listen for Darren yelling and you'll probably find someone. If not, Darren would know where Yugure was taken to for treatment."

She then turned to Seifer. Having reached the facility, Rosalia offered the brunette his Kagero deck back, smiling softly if to comfort him more so than herself. "I kept them safe... I didn't hear much from Dragonic Overlord though, but I guess that's a good thing..." She yawned after that, stumbling slightly as a sudden wave of exhaustion came over her. She had gone through a lot throughout the day. She didn't even remember how it all started after seeing the invading powers at what she guessed was their extremes. "G-guess I reached my limits for the day?..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 04, 2015, 01:45:10 AM: Darren. Right. Dimensional Robo kid. Satoshi definitely remembered and nodded his thanks, grateful for the information.

He dashed off in the direction of the noise to find Darren facing down...Hana?!

The Vanguard of Cray herself had gotten Reversed?!
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 01:50:03 AM: Seifer accepted the Kagero deck back, clipping it to his waist before catching the female as she stumbled, holding her gently. In his half dead state, he didn't really seem like he noticed Satoshi. "Thank you." it was dull and hollow, but he was still reeling. However, he still very gently and lovingly kissed her, setting his forehead against Rosalia's for a moment. He had her, and Yukino lost her's. It didn't seem fair but.. He couldn't do without her. He was eventually doing to have to get out of this rut and man up for for now. "Go on to bed. I'm sure there's some beds here somewhere. There's a staff room and such so... Just be careful... I'm going to need some time to think so I'll still be awake. ...I love you. And I'm glad you came after me."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 01:51:27 AM: Yugure stood up from her chair, pushing aside the medics. They weren't even remotely done, but she wanted reports about what was going on with Cray. Alfred said they figured something out, so what was it? And what were the results of the Luquier Reverse tests?

...

"Are you okay?" A researcher asked.

"Get back to work." The soldier coldly ordered. Clearly, she wasn't in a talking mood, nor an open one. The numbness in arms were fading and she had been bandaged up. Despite protesting the woman stay down and rest, Yugure had work to do. A war room meeting for everyone wasn't happening today, clearly. So the queen simply left from this room, out into the hallways.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 01:53:43 AM: Darren could only sigh as he saw another friend leave with that power. He had been freed of it only to be surrounded by it all around him. It was disheartening to say the least. He figured the best thing he could do from here is go to Yugure and probably tell her what just happened. That probably wouldn't be something pleasant.

She did it to herself.

No one deserves that. Why would you...

No, literally, she did it to herself. She was speaking to her units about what she had to do. It was to better understand what the power is and what it does.

But... to go that far?

Its war now... Sacrifices have to be made sometimes. Maybe she strongly believes that someone can snap her out of it.

Then I'll just be that someone if I have to be...

Lost in thought and with his eyes closed, he ended up bumping into Satoshi, falling back as he looked and said, "Oh, I didn't see you there. Sorry about that. Too much on my mind.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 04, 2015, 01:55:08 AM: Hana went up the building. Well, it was strange for her at first. It was more like, "Oh, I forgot something, I better go ahead and fetch it." She wasn't able to manipulate light, rather darkness now and see things as they were touched by shadows and lay within places that lacked light. Night time was the ideal time for her then. She forced the reverse energy to surround her and her eyes enabled her to be coated into a blob of darkness. She transported herself up, moving along the ground then up the building as a shadow, eventually seeping through the glass and into the 12th floor or so of the Cardfight Training Area where the scientists and all their equipment were.

"I'm going to need one of the modified bracelets.Right the one that takes in released energy." She asked them.

They immediately handed it to her, and she almost broke herself trying to resist a desire to transfer the power into them. "Not... here." She groaned a little and hopped through the window, turning into a shadow herself and landing back down safely onto the ground as the darkness coated her and kept her safe.

She looked at her body to see if everything was fine. Now she was ready to walk off. As she did, an insatiable desire to fight came over her.

Manager-san is going to kill me...

No choice but to answer it. Though, she did find her eye's reactions to reverse to be quite interesting. It would further increase the research as she could now see within what were once her blind spots. Yes... correct that was fact now. The power of her eyes had changed.

These eyes can see darkness clearly.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 01:56:18 AM: Rosalia returned the kiss, smiling even while falling asleep on her feet. "I love you too... and I made you a promise.. I'd always come for you... You're the one who should be careful though..." She gave the brunette an extra kiss to the cheek, then walked off. There were the weird.. scientist people around, so she asked one of them about sleeping arrangements, and was given a room with some other beds in it. Guess it made sense to share a room when there was so many people around in the facility. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out like a light. So what if she didn't know what was happening to Hana and the others? Would you rather her pass out on the floor with a crazy Reversed person or what? At least she wasn't asked again for her Luquier Reverse card, though fell asleep while holding her deck in both hands just in case.

Seifer AF +10
Yugure AF +7
Darren AF +4
Satoshi AF +1
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 04, 2015, 01:58:30 AM: Satoshi shook his head. "S'fine, I just..."

Taking in the situation with a bit more of a normal mindset was very striking. Things were going very wrong very quickly. The invasion, as far as he knew, was not supposed to go as deep as to outright crumble the very being of Cray's Vanguard. Or...maybe it was. It was hard to think about it because every time he did, the rings were trying to force him back in line. He held his head, trying to keep himself stable.

"Ugh...is Yugure around, do you know?..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 01:58:50 AM: After saying good night to Rosalia, the male wandered the hallways almost like a zombie, his head down. He caused a lot of problems when he went insane, so it didn't help he didn't feel very safe right now here. And he had no idea what happened with Hana yet. So when he finds out the news might break him even more. In any case he continued to wander the hallways, losing himself in his own thoughts. He even passed by Yugure without noticing. He really was just like a zombie. Thankfully though there was no longer a marking on his face. The Reverse had completely left his being.

"S..p out...t." Why wouldn't the voices just leave him alone right now?
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 02:01:50 AM: Yugure first grabbed Seifer by the arm before he could get away.

"Tell me what happened to you, what you know, and where you went."

Yunos was sort of happy to hear this tranquil fury.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 02:15:04 AM: And there it was. Crap. Seifer couldn't go anywhere and yet... Mordred actually showed back up at his side, in spirit form mind you. "Yugure... I..."

Seifer held up his hand for Mordred to stop, to which he did. Seifer didn't look at Yugure, just up at the ceiling. He didn't try to squirm away at all. "...I'm not... Really sure where to begin..." could he even tell her? ...It'd be easier to share the burden with two people. And he trusted Yugure almost as much as he did Rosalia. But could he do this?

"Yugure... Seifer's be-" "Quiet Mordred." Seifer snapped at the elfen Knight, which might even raise an eyebrow to Yugure and possibly Yunos. Actually the fact that Mordred was there at all might cause something. "There are only flashes. Little bits and pieces coming together in my mind. I remember losing control here in the lobby..." he finally turned his head toward Yugure so that she could see his face. His eyes were still bloodshot, and the marking... That was gone. No trace of it anywhere. "S...Haruka told me to go to the park. He had something he wanted to discuss with me. Being in the state I was... I did." he glanced down for a moment mulling over his next words. Mordred stayed quiet this time. "I don't remember much of it... I remember being told..." his eyes dropped a bit toward the ground, and he found himself placing a comforting hand on Yugure's that still held his arm. How was he going to say this? "No one is supposed to know. Not even you. But because I can barely handle this alone, and you knew him better than I did... Haruka..." he started to choke up.

"He told me something that broke me free of my Reverse... ...First... That being... Wasn't Haruka... It was Sera. Apparently the cause of the Reverse here... He intends to implant himself in Cray... Like a Seed of sorts...." Seifer broke off again, removing his hand from her's. "...When Sera mentioned a hospital... That was true... But Haruka... Haruka passed away in there... I..." there was something else he was told, a proverbial phoenix down. "I don't know how... But there is a slim hope he can come back... I'm just... ....This will be how I repay you." Seifer ended his statement there, waiting for... Some kind of a reaction. Even if it was just hitting him.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 02:39:13 AM: Darren frowned at the question. He did know where she was but bringing someone to see her probably wasn't a good idea. He sighed in thought for a moment then said, "I was gonna go see her anyway. You might as well come with me if you wanna see her." With what had been happening up to now, he didn't know who to trust. In Yugure's weakened state she couldn't defend herself, but hopefully he would be able to defend her if it came to that.

He walked back to the medical area that Yugure was being held in, stopping at the hallway to see that Seifer was there with her. He couldn't see or tell what they were saying because he entered the room too late for that, but whatever it was, it seemed to have left Seifer distraught. He must have missed something important.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 04, 2015, 02:42:55 AM: Satoshi followed him, only to realize, when they got to the room, that this was probably his worst idea in a very, very long time. He was still technically marked, Reversed, all of that, and yet here he was on the doorstep of someone who was most likely to cut him up into tiny pieces for being part of the invaders' plan.

Maybe there was a chance she'd understand that this was her chance to get as much data out of him as possible and maybe find the Seed from it as well? Seifer must've relayed the information at some point, right?

Right?...He was sweating super hard.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 03:15:18 AM: Yunos was definitively wanting to hear what Mordred was going to say, but he refrained from bugging about it. Plus, how the hell was he here? Yugure honestly just wasn't in the mood and made note to ask about it later. Him not having his full memory in tact didn't sound like too much of a problem, seeing as he was able to remembering losing himself in the first place. The woman folded her arms, listening closely to the report. She and the Paladins noticed the Reverse mark was gone, but they were still sure to keep an eye on Seifer. There was worry about his state of health with those eyes, however... Seifer was hesitating to tell something he remembered - something important, obviously. Yugure stopped herself from screaming "spit it out!".

Then all at once she wished Seifer had never said anything. Of course it was Sera, it only makes sense it was that menace who plagued Haruka's mind. He's the cause of this... Sera officially earned himself one of the top two spots of people she would cruelly and brutally tear to shreds. Though, that wasn't anything that didn't catch her off guard. It was the second part. A bit about the hospital. Yugure had never even known he was in the hospital... and that he was gone. Her heart stopped beating, and all she yearned for was for it to not do so ever again. Unfortunately, it didn't listen and kept pulsing.

Again, words failed. This devastation brought steadily, then hastily increasing ache. It started in her chest, then came back to her arms, then was everywhere all in seconds. Haruka was dead, and she never even got to see him in the hospital... never getting a chance to see him and try to cure whatever was wrong with him.

"Hope...?" Her voice was breaking apart, trembling, and tears poured down her cheeks. "... Don't... give me that..."

She almost snapped.

"Hope... does nothing... Repaying me... I..."

Yugure looked down at her shaking hands, these useless hands that could never do anything right for anyone. This tool of a woman who wanted to find purpose as a human failed in being both a sword and a person over and over. The loss of her lover was the last nail required to take "faith" and "hope" in her heart and shatter it.

"... Thank you for the report." Was offered, attempting to regain her composure and stoic nature. As usual, she was failing at it.

... I should have know this would happen... This is why I wanted to be Yugure - why I didn't want to keep being human... It's easier to be a sword... a sword... doesn't have a heart.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 03:31:47 AM: Seifer's gaze switched for a moment before shaking his head, Mordred looking between the two. "Yeah, Yugure... No. Yukino. That's who you really are. I know this hurts just... Don't withdraw away. ...That's not who you are. You're not a sword, you're not a weapon. You're a person, just like me... Just like everyone else." he bit his lip shutting his eyes and clenching his fists. "Haruka was like a brother to me... It was rough, so I can't imagine what you feel. But instead of bottling it up..." he sighed. "You're pretty much my nee-san. So it was hard for me at all to mention anything to you about it. I don't care that we don't know each other that well. You rescued me from my darkness. To me you're like family. ...I don't want to see you like that." he might get some kind of look or hate from Yunos but whatever. Mordred was just kind of chilling there.

"So please, don't just erase who you really are from this world." he bit his lip again, grinding his teeth a little, even drawing a bit of blood from his lip. He was stressed out, and at this point just venting. He wasn't sure if she'd even listen to reason like this. He figured he wouldn't if he got the same message about Rosalia. But still... There was at least hope, and he was going to try to get it back no matter what happened.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 03:44:07 AM: Another person fawning over his Vanguard?! Yunos decided that it may be high time to start messing people up-

Ahmes kicked him into the wall.

It was sweet to hear Seifer's words, but doing everything possible to erase her consciousness was all that kept her going for the last two years... one... It was a headache just thinking about it. Yukino was nothing more than a bag of flesh who couldn't do anything. The only difference between her and Yugure is that Yugure deeply wanted to forget she was a person. To an extent, it worked, having lost the ability to enjoy life or have casual conversations with others without being incredibly awkward and lost. Being a soldier gave her purpose that didn't require emotion. If there was no feelings... she couldn't be hurt. Not like how much she was hurt now...

"Nee-san..."

Lest she not forget she's already a failure of an older sister for Hana, so being like a sister for Seifer only risked the same thing. Part of her wanted to believe in not withdrawing herself from the world, but the majority of her being yearned to detach as to not feel this way again. The anguish overtaking her was indescribable, and still she held back sobbing. A sword doesn't have a heart, so it can't cry either.

Yugure sat down, unable to lose herself in the mentality of being an object again. That minority in her heart wanted to pour out a waterfall of feelings bottled up for years. She wouldn't let it...

"Thank you, Seifer."

But she at least let it do that.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 03:52:29 AM: Seifer opened his mouth to say something else with Mordred trying to stop him but... "There's one more thing... I don't blame you for anything that happened to me or anyone I care about. Not one bit... ...I know what that other side of me said to you, and you're not a failure... ...I mean you saved me. It was you and your power. Your connection with Ahmes and the Liberators." he gave a soft smile before scratching his cheek and looking up at the ceiling. Maybe now wasn't the best time to be getting something like that off his chest but, he just said it. It felt like he needed to say it right there. Now that he thought about it, he could see units now to and converse with them. And it wasn't until after she pulled him from the void of his mind that he could do that. Actually if you get right down to it he was thankful to her for a lot. He just hoped she could see it. See how the people really felt about her. Well, the people who felt like him anyway.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 03:53:41 AM: Darren swallowed hard as he was there to see and hear all of this. Haruka was... gone? Then who was the person that appeared to them just now? That didn't make any sense. This wasn't the time to think about that, though. He wanted to walk up to Yugure... to Yukino and comfort her. He wanted to help her in any way he could, but what could he do? What could he say? He didn't have anyone that close to him so how could he even try to understand? In his mind, he felt it best to keep this safe distance, barely outside of viewing range, but at the same time, he didn't want to leave either. He wanted to understand more about her, even if it was only a little.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 03:59:31 AM: Yugure just couldn't accept it. A heavy barrier of sorrow prevented Seifer's healing words from soothing the searing pain of her emotional wounds. But she didn't ignore them. She knew they were there, and all she wanted to do was be happy about it. Yet, the only thing stopping her was the thought of such a thing being ruined. She wasn't a failure? Seifer was one of the only times in her life when destiny called that she succeeded with, and it was still outweighed by the despair of having messed up so much...

Her stomach was twisted in a knot, lost between wanting to believe life will finally take a turn for the better, and desperately wanting to keep hopes down to the point where they never rise again.

Ahmes materialized from his card in front of Seifer, Mordred, and Darren, along with others around. Placing a hand on his vanguard's shoulder, he spoke: "This is something that I've actually wanted to ask for awhile... How do you know my name?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 04:03:34 AM: Ahems appearing in front of them like he did took Seifer off guard but... "Now that I think about it, since I got Shadow Paladin. ...From Yunos." Yukino's would probably flip out but as Seifer spoke, he pointed over his left shoulder where there was a spirit like form of Yunos. He looked slightly different from Yukino's, maybe a bit older, but at the same time it was still Yunos. He didn't really say anything, just stared over Seifer's shoulder at Yukino and Ahmes. Mordred however stood there practically face palming. Oh man, where was this going to? "I... Wait a minute..." he looked behind himself at the spirit form of Yunos then at Ahmes. "......There's two Yunos here... Isn't there."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 04:11:41 AM: Yunos popped into reality, and he wasn't pleased, nor were one of his ribs. Twitching, the swordsman of darkness struggled to place a hand on Ahmes' shoulder. Not in a way that requests support. More of a "I'm not done with you, asshole" manner. Completely ignoring him, the ace of light did notice that there were indeed two beings named Yunos that existed in this very room at the same time. They weren't surprised, no. They... knew the reason for this. Gritting his teeth, Blaster Dark stood up to see Mordred and the other black swordsman. He didn't open his mouth, thankfully.

"... We'll explain this to you another time. Thank you for answering me", Blaster Blade humbly gave his thanks while swearing to tell Seifer the truth.

Yugure was still a mess, however.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 04:15:53 AM: Darren was taken aback at seeing a unit appear before him. Blaster Blade? That's who this was, wasn't it? And at the same time Seifer said the name Yunos. That name sounded familiar. His eyes widened as a memory came to him. It was in a manga book he had read, based on the Cardfight Vanguard units. Two Knights were mentioned he hadn't heard of. Ahmes and Yunos. And Ahmes... Ahmes became Blaster Blade! That's what they were talking about? Darren wanted to speak up even more but now he had to hold back. If Blaster Blade didn't want anyone else there, he would probably point him away with that giant sword. And if not him, definitely his darker counterpart who seemed a lot more willing to harm others.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 04:16:54 AM: Seifer nodded in response to Ahmes, though now would probably be a good time to do something about Yukino. "You seem physical... You can interact with the real world right? ...We should probably get her at least to a bed instead of just leaving her out here... Mind helping me out? I'm still really drained from my uh... Outburst... earlier." he said that last bit sheepishly and if Mordred could, he'd hit the brunette over the head. "She's been pretty much working herself to the bone it seems and this... Doesn't help... I'd like to at least get her someone that's not on the floor." actually this was directed to both Yunos and Ahmes as he knelt down next to the broken woman. It was hard to see her like this.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 04:27:19 AM: Yunos was about to blow a gasket until Ahmes hit him in the arm. Before Blaster Blade could do anything, Blaster Dark hit him back. Ahmes gave him a "you wanna go?" look, and Yunos responded with "one-versus-one me mate" through an intimidating gaze. They were both then threatened by Alfred, but then even more so threatened by Salome who was more than sick of them being five year olds. The swordsman of light was sort of offended, because it was Yunos being the problem.

"Yes we can", Blaster Blade stated after their little... exchange in response to Seifer. With Blaster Dark giving an edgy, bad boy "tch", the Blasters of Fate knelt down with the man. It wasn't just hard for him, it was just as hard for her own avatars. They couldn't do anything to help... Ezel might've been able to do something, as he's the one who helped her depression back during the War of Liberation. Unfortunately, his voice wasn't found in her mind.

The knights helped her stand, and did what they could to keep her on her feet for the moment. They opted to hand their vanguard over to Seifer, as they couldn't stay materialized like this forever.

Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 04:35:48 AM: Their little exchange was amusing to Seifer. They were like brothers at times it seemed. The idea brought a smile to his lips, his own Mordred and Yunos fading away for now. As the Blasters of Fate hoisted the female up and opted her to the brunette, he obliged, using his whole weight and body as a support, keeping her stable with having her arm around his shoulders and keeping his arm around her waist for no reason other than stop her from going for a tumble. He'd probably hear about that later from Yunos. Unless Alfred or Salome did something about that. Which they probably would. In any case Seifer asked a nearby staff member who recognized him and still held some fear about where a place that people could sleep were. Ironically, he was directed to the same room that Rosalia was. He still had yet to notice the two eaves droppers that were snooping around earlier but oh well. In any case, the brunette set the snowy haired woman down on one of the beds nearby Rosalia so he could keep an eye on both of them, even going so far as to fetch a blanket for both. "Yukino... If you can hear me at all, go on to sleep." he had to whisper as he laid her down so he didn't disturb the sleeping Rosalia.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 04:38:37 AM: Darren noticed that they were trying to help Yukino move, running up to them at least and saying, "I... I'll help! I mean... I kinda heard most of that so I know what's going on." He moved down to grab onto Yukino as best as he could, still seeing his bandages on her hands, even though his own hands looked as though they needed them. Darren gave a small sigh as he still felt like he couldn't do much. People as strong as Yukino breaking down like this and he was just... there. Mostly ordinary outside of being able to speak to Daikaiser. He still didn't have the full story on how that worked.

He did what he could to help him get her into the room with Rosalia as he looked down at them both. Both his friends fighting things he barely understood, and it seemed he was doing the same anyway, as was Seifer. He wanted to ask Seifer things but this wasn't the time.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 04:52:13 AM: Of course Yunos was about to say something, but then Salome yanked him out of reality by his ear. Ahmes bowed to Seifer, and left with the swordsman of darkness. Yugure felt like a rag doll, but her body wouldn't move by her command. She trusted the brunette enough to lead and carry, at least. Not only that, but Darren helped out too, showing her friends were still around to help... like last year... It all felt like it lasted forever... getting picked up, getting led, getting to resting areas. The woman wanted to rewind time as fast as she could, but the temporal state of her mind not only kept marching forward, but did so at an agonizingly slow rate.

Sleep?

How could she?

The queen simply lied there, staring at the ceiling.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 04:56:18 AM: Seifer thanked Darren before pulling up a chair to sit between the girls, putting his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands. He was tired, but he thought he couldn't sleep for the night it didn't help that.

'Se..er...L..ten...to...e" That voice was still a thing. "Shut up please... I don't need this right now..." the brunette didn't actually realize he spoke out loud, and it would definitely bring attention to either his state of mind, or something else.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 05:02:27 AM: Darren nodded to Seifer in response before looking down at Yukino. It only took a moment of looking down to tell Darren that she was staring at the ceiling, not actually sleeping. He didn't want to leave her by herself, not after what happened to her. Darren took a seat near the bed, turning it at an angle that he could watch both Yukino as well as Rose. He sighed lightly as he thought to himself again.

It's not like I can go home now. Even coming here, I realized there were Reverse Fighters around. Its not worth the risk until I heal a bit more.

The thought of that made him look at his hand, red with dried blood from his outburst before. The bandages that would have been tending to it were with Yukino now. That was for the best. Darren himself couldn't sleep either. How many could with all that happened. He placed his hand on his deckbox, wincing as he did as Daikaiser spoke to him.

Don't even think about it. You have nothing left to change right now. Besides, you need to rest and recover.

Darren could only sigh, not wanting to argue as he muttered to himself, "I haven't been able to do anything for them all this time." He honestly felt like he had to be some kind of failure to try so hard and get nothing out of it. Its wasn't like it was without reason. No normal human should have to deal with things like this. Still, he saw these people as friends and they needed him. What had he done so far in response to that need?

When he realized that Seifer spoke to himself he said, "Let me guess, yours is bothering you as well?" He spoke it as a joke but Daikaiser still wasn't pleased about it.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 05:08:08 AM: At Darren's response, Seifer froze before sighing and shrugged. "More like... After I got unreversed, a voice has been pestering me on and off. It's not from the invaders... Not in the slightest... I just... Don't know who it is or why it's trying to talk to me." he sighed again leaning back in the chair, shutting his eyes and trying to relax some. He wasn't lying. He didn't know what the voice was.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 05:13:15 AM: Darren blinked lightly at his response, then looked up and said, "About that... How even did you get unreversed? Rose couldn't have fought it out of you in her state... She was too frantic to actually do that. I dunno, everything is so complicated right now. One minute I'm just trying to enjoy Vanguard with my friends, the next I'm trying to save the world while a lying fake hero tells me what I should be doing, and now I'm here... watching everyone I've met since I got here all in so much pain... Not a good weekend."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 05:29:38 AM: "I'd rather not talk about it. No one really needs to know." it was blunt, and probably rude as hell, but Seifer just wasn't into revealing it right now. In any case, Seifer started to drift slowly, yawning and leaning over in the chair slightly. "Doesn't matter... We'll be safe here... I'm going to go to sleep now..." before Darren could even reply to it, he was out like a light.

Rosalia AF+10
Yugure AF+7
Ahmes AF+5
Darren AF+5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Throughout the night though, Seifer would have a rather interesting dream. Something he'd never had before. He was in some kind of... Shrine..? There were dragons everywhere and large braziers that had massive flames coming out of the top of them. All of the dragons in the dream were staring at him, and he recognized some of them: Dragonic Burnout, Conroe, Bellicosity Dragon, and several dragon dancers he recognized like Barbara and Monica. They were doing some kind of... Ritual like dance? As he looked around though, his eyes locked on a decaying statue. He couldn't make out what it was but he had a feeling he knew something about it.

"So you've made your way here. And it seems you can finally fully hear my voice. Interesting..." it was the same voice that had been pestering him for a while now, and that sent a chill up his spine.

"What do you want? Why do you keep bothering me?" his question was straight to the point, and he was afraid that he'd accidentally offended the disembodied voice. And yet... It just laughed.

"I'm not surprised you don't know. Sad to say all I can reveal to you as of now is that I heard the call of your wish and responded. Your soul is both powerful... And yet broken. You lost someone close to you recently. ...My wish is to help you achieve your wishes." it was odd, it almost sounded like a reverse's offer and yet...

"If you truly desire to help me... Who are you?" Silence. It didn't seem he was going to answer. "That's what I tho-"

"As of now, I do not have a name. It will be up to you to decide. And up to you to grow into my power. Prove that my choosing you was worth it. And once you do, all of my power will be yours."

That was the end of the dream, and the rest of the night was spent in darkness. Not that there would be much of a night really for the sleepers.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 05:35:00 AM: That answer wasn't exactly satisfying but it had been a long day. It made sense if he didn't wanna say anything now. Darren crossed his arms as he still wondered who's side Seifer was really on. Well, if he wanted to do anything to hurt someone he would have done it already. Yukino was basically defenseless after all. Darren gave a yawn as he closed his eyes, beginning to fall asleep.

You still need more time to be able to use all of my powers. Give yourself time to heal and we can take back your friends one by one.

Seifer AF+4
Yugure AF+4
Rosalia AF+3
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 03:58:58 PM: Yugure awoke, feeling incredibly disorientated. The queen likely dozed off at some point in the night, since there was no work to keep her up. Holding her face in hand, a reminder that yesterday wasn't a dream settled in all too quickly. She couldn't be here right now, but letting this waking nightmare keep her still wasn't an option. Almost mechanically engineering her drive, her body stood up. An announcement to the war floor was made: she's heading home to meet with Father Espoir to create their anti-invasion weaponry.

"You will each be given one. We will not rely on miracles happening by chance, we will create them on our own."

Despite her heartache, she spoke as the leader they needed to hear. Not falling back on luck, rather, humanity's own tenacity was something the woman expressed faith in.

"Be patient with us, for our counterattack will ring true, and the accursed binding forces of the black rings, along with the catastrophic outbreak of Reverse shall end."

With cheering from such a short speech raising the morale of the teams and even Cero's trainees, Yugure departed for home.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 04, 2015, 05:11:46 PM: Satoshi had stayed the night, but in the labs. Having entered the previous night, the scientists were, of course, initially quite skeptical of observing him and researching him, but confirming he was in control of his body, they relented. He sat hooked up to a brain wave machine, through which his very essence was being analyzed.

One of the scientists showed him a replica of Luquier Reverse Yugure had attempted to make, but failed. The art was faded and only half-formed, as though the card was incomplete. Satoshi smiled and held the card in his marked hand, the rings glowing strongly. The rest of the card developed itself: first the art, then the text, and finally the name and power at the bottom of the card formed itself in full color and energy.

He chuckled and shook his head. "The black rings are the hardest part. I wouldn't expect someone who wasn't directly involved with them to be able to forge such cards as these, even the Chosen Sword herself. Anything I can do with this, do tell me." He laid back on the table he was being analyzed on and closed his eyes.

"Do me a favor, too. If you see Seifer, tell him I need to know about what happened yesterday. Bring Rosalia as well, if you could."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 05:15:43 PM: During the night, Rosalia moved little in her sleep, though her dreams were almost the same as usual. Like always, she saw the world of gray, and the blackened stage with the red ring. What was different now, however, was that the colorless world started to bloom in color. Faded pinks and blues, yellows and greens; the world was lighter, but not necessarily full as it once was before. At least it was progress. As for the stage colored black, and the ring of silver thorns glinting crimson, the spotlights that shown down from above had the same hues as the miscolored world: rays of pink and yellow shining down, green and blue circles on the floor. Where they overlapped, things like purple and orange started to appear. Are these the colors you mentioned?... Sort of... There's lots more... and I promise I'll show you them all...

By morning, or heck, whatever time it was the following day, the redhead finally shifted and rubbed her eyes. In one hand she still held her deck, while the other helped prop herself up in bed. It felt.. strange to wake up anywhere that wasn't her home, but given the situation, even school didn't cross her mind. Actually, it brought up the memory of when Seifer explained the War of Liberation, and how before she never thought that all this.. magic could be real. Well.. I'm sure its real now, given I was a victim of it... Bu-ut I'm not longer a victim. I'll do everything I can to pull through... She paused, looking down at the deck in hand and flipped to the second card, her Luquier Reverse. A small smile crept to her lips, rubbing her thumb over the artwork of both versions of Luquier. I'll find all the colors... but right now, my friends need me... so help me through this, alright? We can discover the colors together...

Rosalia put her deck away and glanced around the room at that point, seeing that others had joined in on the other beds. Seifer and Darren are here... but that bed there looks to be used too. I wonder if it was Yugure or Satoshi... Giggling softly to herself, trying not to wake the others, the redhead moved to sit on the edge of Seifer's bed, stroking his hair lightly like she had done in the park. Quietly, she started to hum again the lullaby (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_cdXNWD1VY) from before. May there always be angels to watch over you... To guide you each step of the way... To guard you and keep you safe from all harm... Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 05:22:20 PM: Darren stretched as he gave a small yawn. His eyes started to open from the break in silence. It was a peaceful way to awaken. He looked around for a moment to gather the origins of the melody before seeing that Rosalia was awake. He couldn't help but give a small smile at the fact that he was singing the one she loved to sleep. "So that's what a good alarm clock sounds like," he said lightly.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 05:23:34 PM: Seifer remained asleep, drifting around in a dark space, left alone to his thoughts and thinking hard about the dream, while in a dream. Dream-ception. Anyway, in the middle of it all, he heard a soft humming sound, echoing in the depths of his subconsciousness. What... was that? It sounded familiar and now... Light. His eyes opened up slowly, blurry... The figure of a red head looming over him. But it didn't startle him, rather he just smiled, reaching up and taking the hand that was in his hair. "You actually woke up before me for once... Impressive." he teased, whispering softly in case anyone else was actually asleep.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 05:31:48 PM: Rosalia looked up to see Darren had woken up, a bright crimson filling her cheeks at the comment. "A-ah so-orry, I didn't mean to wake you.." she answered, but felt a hand on her's soon after, which quickly calmed her nerves. The female smiled again and shrugged, entwining her fingers with Seifer's. "Well, even if I normally sleep before you, you had a rough day yesterday... But, today is a new day, so let's try to get one step closer to finishing this whole mess..." She got up from the bed and stretched, running her hands through her signature, obnoxiously long red hair, which combed out nicely within seconds for as much hair as there was. "I guess.. what's on our agenda today?... Should we try finding Yugure or.. at least someone who knows what's going on around here? There's a bunch of those scientist guys but..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 05:34:05 PM: "Don't worry about it, Rose. I needed to wake up anyway."As he stretched his body out, Darren started to stand from the chair. He looked down at his deck and made a decision. He was tired of watching everyone around him hurting and not being able to do anything for it. He needed to get moving. Yukino wasn't around either, so that took away his reason to stay for now. As much as it seemed dangerous for any of them to be moving around alone, Darren knew he could handle himself.

After what's happened already, I'm pretty sure I can deal with things. Besides, there are some things I have to do myself.

He went to the door, looking back at Seifer and Rose. He was glad they were happy and together, even if he still had reason to distrust Seifer after what happened before. I mean, Yukino is gone now, what happened to her? It didn't look good for him, but he also didn't really care if he wouldn't hurt Rosalia. She was the last person here he knew well enough to care that much about. With that, he waved lightly and said, "I'm heading out. Take care of this place for me." With that he left.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 05:35:10 PM: "Well... I can simply just... Do this.." he scrolled to Yugure's contact info in his phone after he stood and stretched a bit, standing close to Rosalia.

'Where are you. I kind of have something important to talk to you about. If you'll let me.' he hit send after the text, sending it to Yukino's phone before looking over at the red head, sliding if hand into her's and entwining their fingers. "Not really sure what else is on the agenda past that though." he spoke to Rosalia before waving Darren bye.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 05:39:31 PM: Rosalia waved in return to Darren's departure, but looked over Seifer's shoulder as he texted away. "Right... Kinda forgot about that.. and I even messaged Yugure yesterday about uh... following the crazy you and Haruka to the park..." she admitted, scratching the back of her head with her free hand. It felt awkward to say it, but then again, at least after whatever happened in that secret reverse bubble, Seifer was back to normal. So it couldn't be all bad, right?... "Guess not much else to do except to wait for a response from Yugure..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 05:43:33 PM: Seifer shrugged a bit hugging the female tightly before shutting his eyes. "We could both go home... Need to shower and get new clothes... I mean, I have grass stains on my knees...' he pointed to his pants legs, which were indeed covered in grass stains.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 05:48:28 PM: Rosalia hugged him back, pulling away from the embrace when Seifer pointed at his knees. Oh right. He had been on the ground in the park... Not to mention her dress is kinda dirty as well. "Good point... Let's get going then?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 04, 2015, 07:00:51 PM: Cero finally left his quarters after keeping the entire floor locked up for over 24 hours. Everyone else had already left. Approaching one of the scientists, he asked them to fill him in on yesterday's events... And one particular piece of news stuck out to Cero: Hana had been Reversed... This news was frightening. Cero couldn't think of anyone capable of defeating Hana, save one. Neu Edelweiss... But alas, he had no idea where she was. Sighing, he figured he'd set out in search of one of the Black Rings, knowing their purpose. One of the scientists said he should go see Yugure before that, but Cero ignored him. There wasn't time for that right now. Taking his deck, Cero left the building in search of the enemy.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 07:16:26 PM: Darren ran back to the Training Area. He was panting as he hoped that the fighters hadn't followed. He looked back and saw that he still had her hand. Releasing it gently, he looked around and said, "Guess no one is here now... We'll be safe though." He still wondered about what even happened. That guy was still around, and he was hurting more people just as he was before. He still didn't see a face but that blade was something he could never forget. "By the way... I guess this is a big time training ground for Vanguard fighters. I didn't come here until all this stuff started so I don't know much about it."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: xateramusa on October 04, 2015, 07:26:54 PM: "Thanks I guess." She said and walked away from him and sat on the ground a few distance away. 'Though's things what are they, and why are they after people and the sycth guy who was that' she asked herself. She wouldn't stay long that was for sure after all she must of been crazy to follow a complete stranger.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 07:31:11 PM: Darren scratched his cheek at the thought of what he had to say. What was the right way to say that the world was in danger due to a card game and said card game was the only way to stop it? Not a lot of options.

If you really want to protect her, better to tell the truth, his Avatar unit said to him within his mind.

Darren sigh and said, "Its complicated but... its called the Reverse. I guess Aliens or something can take control of people and make them find other people. Its like a zombie apocalypse but they through it through Vanguard... or at least that's what I thought. That scythe seemed to just do it without a Vanguard Fight. The black rings represent places where they are really strong. At least that's what I can gather."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 07:56:13 PM: The urge to fight someone was real. The power infested in Hazama really wanted to show its true power. And what a perfect place to find people than the training area. He entered the building, but no one in sight. It was a ghost town. All main monitors shut off. No activities what so ever. It was so quiet in fact, every time he took a step, it was like yelling at a mountain range to hear its echo. Though just because the main floor was empty, didn't mean there were still people here. He walked down the halls in search of prey. Countless empty rooms of fighting tables he passed. Still no life within the premises.

He kept walking down the halls, but suddenly, his like sixth sense kicked in. He followed it. Every passing second it got stronger. Finally, it got to the point where the people were so close, they could probably hear him coming. Alas he heard the voices of humans.

"...rings represent places where they are really strong. At least that's what I can gather," he heard a voice say. He turned the corner and found two people sitting on the ground, still not have yet been reversed.

Post by: xateramusa on October 04, 2015, 07:58:42 PM: " I see, so vanguard is a way to ether save or destroy interesting how a game of life comes down to a cardgame." She said as she closed her eyes and talked with shirayuki to get her opnion on things.

"Its just not in the human world but on our home planet as well. I have a feeling if you stay with this guy Darren then you can find more allies to beat them. was all that Shirayuki told her. Xat then opened her eyes and looked at Darren and wonders if what Shirayuki said was true or not, however there was only one way Xat could think of as she stood up. "Fight..." She started to say until she saw a reversed fighter here. "They found us." she told him as she looked upon the new person.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 08:38:54 PM: He heard the voice of a girl as he turned the corner. "They found us," she spoke. Hazama lifted his sleeve to show that indeed he was a signified reversed fighter. "What do you mean they?"he asked. "Im the only one here. And besides, there is nothing to fear. If I reverse you, it will be so fast you wont be able to feel it.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 08:41:12 PM: Darren sighed as he realized how strange it sounded. At least she seemed to understand it well enough. That was a good thing. His ease was short lived as he saw another fighter there. His energy was familiar. He was a Reversed. Was this really happening again? Every time? "What is this, a Reverse hotspot?" he said as he picked up his deck. "Fine, if this is really happening, I'll take you on!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: xateramusa on October 04, 2015, 08:46:21 PM: Xat walked up to stand next to Darren. "Careful something isn't right." She told him as she took out her deck. "I will be the one to fight him, sence he will return normal if i beat him." She said looking at the guy.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 08:58:08 PM: He looks at the girl posing a challenge to him. "Are you strong?" was all he asked

Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 09:09:01 PM: With a response he takes his right hand and waves it at waste level. Then two red fields appear and the background becomes an image of space. Asteroids drifting around hoping to avoid one another. He places his deck on the field and begins to prepare his hand.

Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 09:30:35 PM: Darren glared as he saw that Xat wanted to take the battle. He didn't know what would come of it and was honestly worried for her. It was possible she had never faced one of them before even though she knew of it. He was more than prepared to do it himself but this would have to be the way it is. Once a cardfight begins, it can't be stopped without a decided winner.... unless a certain unit decides to run away from the fight as what happened to him before.

She can hear her Avatar as you can. Don't worry too much. I think she'll be alright.

And if she isn't?

Well, that's why we're here. We'll set it right.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 10:22:40 PM: "Twin Gunner of Binary Star, finish her," he said in a monotone voice. The sixth damage flew down on her side of the field. Hazama knew this was the end because she exhausted all of her heals in the beginning of the game. "Lock,"Hazama said pointing to his opponent. She screamed as the new found power rushed through her body. He looked at the boy observing the match. "She can take care of you,"he said. As Hazama's business was done he turned around and walked away, but still watching how his opponent would react.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 10:25:52 PM: Seifer lead the group here, to where this ridiculous battle was taking place. Hadn't there been enough already? Darren was already here, and someone he didn't recognize. And then... Hazama. Seifer's aura of purple and black rose up, since his Kagero deck wasn't in working condition. He took one look at the fight... It didn't seem to be going well at all. Then again, she was against Link Joker using a clan he didn't see that often. He'd heard of it before from somewhere... Murakumo? It was a Dragon Empire clan. However, a still very annoyed Seifer walked up to the area, with the shadow like aura still blazing. His eyes locked on Hazama, pulling out the Shadow Paladin clan. He was tired of people showing up unannounced. And those being reversed as well. And then, the fight was over... Stopping in front of Hazama he stared, blocking his way, the shadow aura growing even more intense.

Post by: xateramusa on October 04, 2015, 10:29:37 PM: Xat screamed in pain as she was consumed by the power and fell to her knees panting. She couldnt hear shirayuki voice anymore. She stood up and faced the other person there. "Its your turn now." she said to darren befoe looking at the others. "After him i will face you guys." She told them while loooking at them. She turned around and summoned the reversed field and placed her deck on the deck zone.

"Please help her." Shirayuki said to Darren hoping he heard her.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 10:31:34 PM: Rosalia followed her companions close, her happy demeanor slowly fading as the trio approached the training area. She was a bit surprised to see that Darren's new friend was a girl, but hey, guys and girls can be friends. However, she did recognize Hazama. They had only met once before very briefly, and since then, she hadn't seen him until now... and clearly he was another victim of reverse. She watched Seifer block Hazama's path, the redhead glancing to Yugure. "I'll help Darren. Please help Seifer.. I'm not sure how much he's recovered from earlier.. I trust you, Onee-chan~"

Then Rosalia moved to Darren's side, watching the new girl get reversed. It was a painful process, and brought back the pain she had seen before. But now, she was alright with facing that darkness, and grinned to Darren. "I'm here if you need me." From the last time Darren saw her, she had clearly gotten over her doubt, and was ready to fight should she be needed. But this was Darren's fight, and part of her hoped that Darren won.. if just so that she wouldn't have to face off against her friends.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 10:32:31 PM: Darren's eyes widened. It must have been what happened to him. He lost to that person with the red blade and then got Reversed that way. Now Xat was going through the same thing. He readied his deck, glaring as he heard Daikaiser speak to him.

Her Shirayuki called out to us. She wants us to save her.

"Like I need to be told..." Darren responded, saying it out loud. "If there's one thing I can do, I know I can save a friend. Right here and right now!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 10:37:48 PM: As Hazama was getting ready to exit the room, Seifer blocked his path. He stared at him in the eye. But that is all he did. He stood there for about five seconds and walked around him not even saying a word. He continued to walk out of the building.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 10:40:18 PM: Upon entering the first floor, Yugure took note of several things at once. This Hazama was Reversed and had Twin Gunner of Binary Star, this other girl had been Reversed by him and Shirayuki was requesting assistance, and Seifer looked like he was about to lose his temper again. Placing a hand on the brunette's shoulder, she mentally told him to calm down through the gesture.

Darren and his opponent were entrusted to Rosalia.

How they dealt with another user of the invaders instead of simply a Reversed unit would be the biggest problem to tackle.

The gigantic claymore of darkness known as "Blaster Dark" was summoned in her hand, blocking off Hazama's escape.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 11:03:13 PM: He turns around and sees another person behind him holding Blaster Dark's sword. "So what do you intend on doing with that weapon?" he asked the girl, but still keeping an eye on Seifer.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 11:04:31 PM: The battle was a fierce one, the Murakumo units not short on tricks. From attacking his Goyusha and making its Trans-Dimension skill impossible to a Reverse that could increase its power by 10000 by locking its comrades. It was almost exactly like Daiyusha's Reverse. Seeing it made Darren all the more determined to prove he had surpassed that power.

His Great Daikaiser appeared, attacking with all its might, but Xateramusa was able to defend against it, predicting he couldn't get the Grade 3 he needed and she was right. Able to defend himself, he made one final attempt. She had guard, but a critical trigger to the original Daikaiser was enough to seal the match. Xat couldn't believe it, but Darren already knew this would happen. "I know first hand there are much stronger powers than the Reverse," he said to her as the fight ended.

Worried for her, Darren rushed to her to make sure that the battle was enough to remove the Reverse. Considering that Rose's Reverse unit didn't disappear right away, he needed to be sure with his own eyes.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 11:06:12 PM: "A vast array of things depending on your choice of action. You are Reversed and armed with the invaders, so use of this weapon may not be necessary if you surrender now."

Mercy was one way of doing it, despite how Yugure wanted to brutally murder every invader to exist.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: xateramusa on October 04, 2015, 11:11:07 PM: The fight was long and hard but in the end she had lost. The sting of deafeat was hard on her. Xateramusa felt the darkness leave her and she took hold of shirayuki and looking sadly at it. "I'm sorry my friend." She said as she falls to the ground and lays there in the grass. "So sorry everyone." She was exausted and couldnt see what the one who turned her battle.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 11:13:24 PM: "Before I do what I intend to do, why do you hate Link Joker so much?" he asked as adressing them all. "In all honesty, this clan was the best thing to happen to this game. Why not try it out for yourself, I will make your reverseing quick and painless.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Golden Sage NovaRaizer on October 04, 2015, 11:15:13 PM: Darren gave a sigh of relief before he placed his hand onto her back lightly. He smiled and said, "I've been there. It hurts, but you're okay now. Everyone here is working to stop these guys so no one else goes through that. I have a feeling you could help a lot too." This was the proof that he was able to do something, that he was able to fight to protect his friends. "First on the agenda... you! He pointed to the Reversed Fighter who first battled Xat, seeing he was still there.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 11:18:03 PM: Yugure almost used that claymore in a way she didn't want to. She almost attacked him to kill. Why did she hate the invaders? If every reason could be listed, it'd be eons into the future when the woman would be done telling. ... Instead, there was no reason to answer such a heavy cause of Reverse. Praising it as the best thing to ever happen to the game, and stating he'll make her reversing quick and painless...

The Chosen Sword simply aimed the weapon at him.

"I urge you again to surrender peacefully."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 04, 2015, 11:22:31 PM: Most of the testing over the course of the day had been a resounding success. Satoshi had provided the scientists a resounding amount of information. There was a chance they could pinpoint the location of the Seed thanks to this, something he was looking forward to. In addition to that, analysis of what was called Void energy had provided some insight into the power the rebellion was up against.

Now he was taking a break. Laying still all day had made him stiff. He stretched by going for a walk, only to run straight into quite the scene. A Reversed fighter cornered by Yugure. Seifer, Rosalia, Darren, and someone he didn't recognize nearby. What was a Reverse fighter doing here? Most of the directives had pointed away from this facility since it was freed from the control of the rings to search for the Seed.

The Chosen Sword looked apt to kill. That didn't exactly help the situation, since all she really had to do was turn and find him, discovering he was a bloody general of the whole thing. That said, this wasn't exactly a welcome guest.

He walked up next to Yugure and raised his marked hand, the rings glowing. "I'm going to have to second Yugure, soldier. Stand down. This is not where you should be right now."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 04, 2015, 11:24:48 PM: Seifer's rage seethed until it was almost uncontrollable, well until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Noticing Yukino's own rage, and that she'd attacked, it was his turn to help though, as much as he wanted to not do this. He placed his hand on the hilt of the Blaster Dark sword, just above Yukino's hand, pushing it down slightly and shaking his head. His purple black aura disappeared as he stepped forward, making eye contact. He was now standing between the reversed Hazama and Yukino. "I am... Was... I don't know. Still am I guess, one of the Generals of the Link Joker invasion. This clan is an abomination, and yet... Something about it can be assimilated. You're not entirely wrong, but at the same time. You're completely wrong. Link Joker and Cray can live in harmony, if only those who have a spell cast upon them... Were to understand that fighting is futile." he stepped forward taking a pose similar to the one found on the card art of Nouvelle Vague. "Hazama. There's a lot you still have yet to really learn about Link Joker. Things I myself have learned. If you knew and understood, you'd be the same way as us. ..Though with how you were a year ago, I doubt my words would reach you, as much hope that I have in that happening as I do... Sad to say." he gave a sigh shaking his head and dropping his arms. "Nee-san, he's not worth the anger. If we give into that, we're only playing into their hands more." odd, the male was speaking as if he was older than he was, but it may just be the situation at hand bringing that out. "Hazama, if you really wish to understand though... Go find Tsubasa." he ended that with just staring at Hazama with empathy.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: xateramusa on October 04, 2015, 11:25:47 PM: Xateramusa stood up and looked at the guy too, she slowly leaned on Darren for some support standing. "Thank you Darren for helping me. But dont look to much into it. Just cause i trust you dosnt mean i will trust them." She said looking at the others unaware that she had jsut admited to trusting Darren.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 04, 2015, 11:27:44 PM: Rosalia watched the fight quietly, but in the end, Darren didn't fall. She felt a smile return to her lips as Xat seemed to be saved, but rested her hand on Darren's shoudler as he pointed to Hazama. "You should relax.. You fought really well.. We got this, so sit back and take a break for once," the female smiled, then moved away to join up by Yugure, Seifer, and now Satoshi. The redhead lost her grin as she watched the Reverse Fighter... and Yugure had a giant sword? It looks familiar to Blaster Dark's... huh. Never thought that could exist, but when you have the fact invaders from another planet are fighting them through cardfight, a lot of things could happen. She was about to say her piece with "why can't you accept Link Joker", but Seifer and Satoshi beat her to it. But at the end of Seifer's little speech... Was he letting Hazama go? She stood between Yugure and Seifer, looking between the two before staring at Hazama. "I've been Reversed once, and I don't plan on going through the pain and suffering again.. That's all I'll say..."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Helios on October 04, 2015, 11:35:07 PM: He stares at Seifer who is stepping aside to let him pass. "Wise man,"he said to him. But before he leaves, he says one last thing to his opposer, Just so you should know, Link Joker is my friend. No matter how far apart they may be, I will always come for them no matter what the cost. Even if my soul was taken right now, I would do it for Gunner and the rest of my friends.

He walks off holding Gunner in his hand as a tear forms in his eye, I will never...let you go. And what you call suffering, I call love.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: xateramusa on October 04, 2015, 11:37:26 PM: She watched them all gather to help the one who turned her hoping he would come to he sences. Sadly she didn't wait to see the results and begins to walk away. 'its better this way, they wont get hurt by being around me.' she thought as shira appered beside her but only to her eyes. "we have to find the one thing that is controling everyone. Cray is falling fast. We must hurry." She told xat before dissapering Xat took the time to slip quitely away.

"Trouble at Shopping District. Need Help. - Hana Isabella Espoir"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 04, 2015, 11:51:52 PM: Satoshi's mark hand glowed, Seifer not only opted to stop her, but revealed he's one of the generals. In addition to that, Hazama has the gall to say "wise man". Those weren't words of wisdom, she wouldn't accept that they were. These DEMONS had no right to co-exist with any of them. They were harvested or killed by Link Joker, there was no accepting this terrorism! What kind of madness with Seifer spewing?! Yugure was seething with fury that would make Raging Form look tame...

"Link Joker and Cray can live in harmony, if only those who have a spell cast upon them... Were to understand that fighting is futile."

Horrible, horrible flashbacks. Comrade after comrade locked, seeing units Reversed, wails of agony upon being converted, tears in response to being sealed. It began driving Yugure to the true essence of her bloodlust for the invaders - to see them all maimed and skewered. Grinding her teeth, something snapped. Watching Hazama leave in such an infuriating manner, as if he wasn't at liberty to get struck down by her blade, and having "bonded" with something "beloved". She didn't want to do it, she didn't want to do anything to Seifer.

But hearing such words sent her into a frenzy.

"Bullshit!!" Yugure screamed, lifting up Blaster Dark with two hands, and nearly striking him with it! Ahmes launched himself out of Seifer's Kagero Deck Case, and clashed swords with her.

"Yugure, no! Calm down!" The ace of light shouted, managing to stop his vanguard in her tracks, but not the understandable rage exploding forth. It was superhuman how the woman was nearly pushing him back, as if rivaling his strength like Yunos would. No... it was rivaling his own brute strength and posture.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 05, 2015, 12:23:36 AM: Seifer's phone buzzed but then... He heard a clash of blades and whipped around to see... Ahmes and Yukino clashed. This was getting really bad. Really really bad... The Swordsman of Light was clashing with her and... She was was to enraged. She seemed to be like... Yunos now? Well, whatever. He was going to take a risk, and probably regret it. Pushing Ahmes out of the way, was probably a bad idea as he let the blade bite through his skin and pierce all the way through. Yeah... Really bad idea was really bad, since it hurt a lot, and his blood was now on the floor. But, this seemed like the easiest choice to make. Only one really. Fighting through the pain of having a large piece of steel sticking out of his abdomen he grabbed the ivory haired woman and hugged her, setting her forehead on his shoulder has he did so, panting through the pain. It had pretty much come down to brother power go, but this really did hurt. Could he survive it? Stupid stupid Seifer acting without thinking sometimes. "I wasn't threatening... The resistance... I was... Threatening Link Joker... None of this is your fault..." he coughed a bit, blood trickling down the sides of his mouth. What was he going to do now? ...The pain stopped, he just felt kind of... cold.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 05, 2015, 12:36:16 AM: Rosalia was distracted for a moment, checking her phone. A text from Hana?... Then again, she didn't know that Hana was Reversed or not, just for the record... but she wouldn't be going anywhere when she heard what sounded like thick water hitting the floor... When she looked up a little, just passed her phone while still staring at the ground, a crimson coloring bloomed. She only blinked at first, her brain having trouble processing what it was, even as she looked up to see Yugure having swung her massive sword, and was currently being hugged by a bleeding Seifer. She only stared, the shaking that once ravaged her body from fear of Reverse, now returned while her mind was still reeling. "S-se.... Seif-f.. er?..." Rosalia took half a step forward, then another, and another, until she had touched the scarlet-stained blade, her fingers smearing the blood until she pulled it back, and merely stared at her hand. She couldn't do anything else except stare, now lifting her gaze to Seifer's back and watched the crimson soak into his clothes, silent tears running down her cheek.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 05, 2015, 12:36:36 AM: Well, this was bad. Really, really bad. Wanting to put a sword to Seifer was not going to go well at all, especially since he was most definitely one of the generals that needed to be present for the Seed.

But inside Satoshi's mind...

---

Cheru sat, laid back in a reclining chair in the recesses of Satoshi's mind with him. She was sucking a lollipop, still wearing her hoodie. "Havin' fun with control again?"

He furrowed his brow. "I still don't really understand why you gave it back to me in the first place."

The little devil shrugged. "Well, I talked Nebula Lord into it, which took a lot of time, trust me." She crunched the lolly and threw the stick out absentmindedly. After clacking to the floor, it instantly disappeared. "Only reason he accepted in the end was 'cause I told him it would be more fun for the invasion if we crushed their hopes. Ain't a lot of fun when people're desparin' all the time, y'know?"

"Right..." Satoshi rubbed his temples, trying to process this. It still didn't make much sense. Nebula's hold had been so dominant, and things had been going so smoothly. "Then how much longer do I...?"

"A bit, you could say. We need these guys t'find the Seed first." Cheru whipped out a new lollipop, this one butter-pecan flavored. She licked it once, smiled, and settled it in her mouth. "Then the real party can start. But it does require a little bit o' manipulatin'." She made a quick gesture. "Luckily, Hana's helpin' with that."

Right. Hana had been Reversed. The Vanguard of Cray was bereft with the powers of Void. What a way to end up...

"'Course, I've been meanin' to mention to you that there's another reason I'm givin' you this chance."

Satoshi turned to look at her, raising a quizzical eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"...Well, 'cause of how you reacted to what's-her-face." Cheru racked her brain, trying to remember. "'Newell,' I think it was?"

"Noel." Satoshi rested his chin on his hand. "What's she got to do with anything?"

"Well, y'see, not gonna lie t'you. After bein' in your body for a year and a half or so..." Cheru shook her head. "I'm pretty sure it was crazy t'pick you of all people t'have Nebula Lord. 'Cause you're too damn feely fer yer own good." She shrugged. "Let's just say I kinda think yer not exactly wrong in feelin' those ways, either."

The farmboy grinned. "Are you saying you think there's something to not being cruel and calculated?"

She grinned back. "Nah, I'm sayin' that feelin' is just as valuable." This made him lose the grin, confused again. She put her hand behind her head in her lounging position. "Lemme try and explain what I mean. As part of the invasion, we're pretty sure that hostile takeover was very much an option, but after bein' in your head...and from what I've been told, a few o' my comrades in others...we saw what feelin' was like, and diplomacy, an' all that nonsense." She took a hand down to rub her chin. "And y'know, gotta say, maybe it would've been better if we did, right? If we had come to yer Council o' Cray and said, 'Hey, we got exiled, y'mind helpin' us out?' But that's not what Void works with. 'Least, not from what our head honchos're sayin'." She moved the lolly in her mouth to the other side. "Nah, they're definitely out for blood. We Star-vaders, we kinda just want a place to be, but Void's pushin' us over the edge to takin' everything for ourselves. But it's kind o' hard to disobey direct orders from---"

"I think I get it." Satoshi breathed softly, taking all of this information in. Cheru didn't need to say anything else. It kind of made sense, in a way, and he was somewhat grateful to know that these invaders were, if anything, attempting to find a way to co-exist. The matter, of course, was finding a way to make them not overstep their boundaries in the way Void was making them.

He wiped his forehead for a moment, then spoke once more. "If there's one thing I can give to you guys, it's that as a clan...you actually remind me of most of the Paladins, and Neo Nectar, the clan I was known for."

Cheru tilted her head. "How'zat?"

"Well...even with the power of 'Lock,' you all have a common goal and rely on your Vanguards to lead you to reach that goal, even if that goal is malicious and destructive. Your rearguards are equally as supported as your Vanguards, as well. So...yeah, in a way, I can respect that." He shook his head. "I doubt people will actually understand that, given how things have gone down, but..."

Cheru leaned forward out of her comfortable position, taking the lollipop stick out of her mouth and twiddling it between her fingers. "There was this prophecy made one time about the interactions between the clan we're considered a part of, Link Joker, and the whole planet of Cray." She looked down, looking slightly bothered for the first time. "It was that diplomacy was definitely the key to our clan's return and survival. That this was learned through Neu Edelweiss, bearer of the Messiahs." She shook her head, frustrated. "That dream sounded so grand, but now with all of this..."

Satoshi got up and walked over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "If it helps, finding the Seed, Reversed or not, should be anyone's goal in trying to change the tide of things, right? I want your clan to have an equal shot. If you need support..." He gave a thumbs up. "I know a few clan leaders that will back you up if they hear me out."

Cheru gave a weak smile. "That's nice 'n' all, but...why? We're doin' a helluva lot to y'all for this t'be fair..."

"Everyone deserves a chance. But we need to see if we can stop Void. It sounds crazy, but...if I have to, I'll become its direct vassal, just so you guys have a chance to live."

Cheru teared up a bit. Satoshi had no idea the magnitude of what he was saying. This could, effectively, kill him if things went the way intended, but still, to choose to do so anyway, just to make peace...

"I-I'll try t'make sure when I hafta take back control, you get it back soon...just don't forget, y'hear?..."

"Promise." Satoshi smiled, patting her head.

---

Brought back to reality, Seifer had been struck. Even so, he was fighting through the pain, truly dedicated...

Satoshi shook his head at Seifer's words. "He's right," he spoke up. "If anything, it's mine, his, and to a degree, others." He walked over and grasped the young man's shoulder. "Undoing this, however, is in no way going to be simple, and it would be best if resources such as this one aren't harmed, for your sake."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 05, 2015, 12:46:53 AM: The resistance could've give up - they could've give up. No no, that was the entire reason why she was still alive! Yugure didn't want to give up and let humanity and Cray be harvested! Those under a spell... resistance isn't futile... no... she didn't want to believe Seifer even spewed out those words... Yugure's mind was a complete blur, seeing Ahmes, and then seeing a look of surprise on her Blaster's face as he was pushed aside. A foggy image of the lecherous tongued brunette came next, and she...

What?

What happened?

Trembling, unsteady breaths came from the queen. Seifer had gotten closer to her, but she was certain the blade was still... where he was... Shock, fear, regret, horror, all sorts of emotions overwhelmed her. Even worse, Seifer... hugged her. His arms wrapped around her, and her head came to his shoulder... The man wasn't threatening humanity... It was for Link Joker... But then he subsequently said none of this was her fault. The warmth of his body... was fading...

"Yugure!!" Ahmes shouted, and Yugure instinctively yanked Blaster Dark out of him. That was a terrible decision, as now there was nothing to keep the wound plugged up. Seeing the pouring crimson left her in a gasping silence as she kept a hold of his body.

"N-..."

What... What has she done?!

"Noooo!!"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 05, 2015, 12:57:09 AM: Well, bad decisions are bad. That's what everything recently has been. But Seifer didn't fully regret it. His ears didn't really work anymore so he couldn't hear the screams, though he could see blurry things... Faces... Were those... He couldn't remember. He started drifting. He couldn't think anymore. He went limp after the blade was removed and his blood spilled out, pooling and staining the floor. It was starting to get a bit colder, and his eyes... They started to see nothing but darkness. Well... Was this what it was like to die? It wasn't what he pictured. It felt to... peaceful. The actual dying bit, not the part about letting himself be stabbed. As he lay there being held by the person he called Nee-San, his breathing slowed tremendously. Almost to a halt, and he just lay there... Limp.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 05, 2015, 01:11:12 AM: Rosalia didn't quite hear the scream, having been blocked out by a tremendous ringing in her ears. She couldn't move save for her shaking as the brunette collapsed, still in Yugure's arms. That didn't quite seem right, to be held by someone else, but the redhead was paralyzed as it was. But her world was spinning, Rosalia dropping to her knees by Yugure's and Seifer's side. She didn't reach for him. She didn't try saying his name again. She sat there, staring with a half shut gaze, her eyes seeming to glaze over in some sort of trance. The world around her turned gray... much like the world of gray she saw when confused by her connection to Luquier Reverse after being unreversed. Except this world... it was much darker, and fading further to black. The tears that fell in a continuous stream had no feeling amidst the shaking; no sound to her ears as they fell to the floor and her jeans over the ringing. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

The colors...

Fading again to the colorless world...

A colorless world, save for black and red...

That's... when she started screaming... No words, just sounds; shrieks that turned to loud sobs and gibberish. She doubled over and hugged herself, screaming away her pain and sorrow into the floor.

Post by: Cherry on October 05, 2015, 01:20:43 AM: "Ah, aaaah!!" Yugure panicked, screaming more. "Ahmes, we have to do something! Medics! Get the research teams! Call Angel Feather! Call mother! Something!"

Ahmes was entirely at a lost, for one of the few rare moments of his life. Rosalia gave a startling shriek, his vanguard was completely lost, and he himself couldn't think of an immediate solution. From a soldier's point of view, Seifer was more than likely... dead. However, from a hopeful warrior's point of view, there had to be a way to fix this. Something, anything. Think!! He mentally shouted to himself.

"I..."

Dammit, nothing came to mind!

The paladins were at a state of emergency themselves. Their queen had went off the deep end, and then Seifer was stabbed with that end.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 05, 2015, 01:41:49 AM: Still more muffled screams... What was going on...? He felt light... And there was darkness..

"So... this is what it's like to die huh?..." he was just floating... stationary in the void. Funny... Maybe this was because he had been reversed?

"Who are you?" ...A voice? Who's... was it? "Seems... I know you. Just who... ...I see."

The disembodied voice soon became a small, soft blue light. Just what was it? It felt... Warm. "Who are you? ...Oh... ...I guess, I do know you... You're... Him aren't you..."

It didn't need to be said. They both knew. This was their end and yet, something kept them on the edge between life and death. They met here for some reason. But what was it? ...Seifer's mind began to swim. "Help me... Please... there are still... Things... People I want to protect." there was begging toward this light. Most people would just... Laugh it off.

Silence. It felt like he was abandoned and yet. "You're the same as me... I see... Well, come with me. Let's go together shall we?" the light moved from where it was to the male's chest before merging with him. There was a rushing feeling, and then...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seifer's body, the one that was in Yukino's arms coughed. There was a bit of blood that still seeped out at the edges of his mouth as he did but... He coughed again. Then started breathing normally. His body felt warm, and as he opened his eyes, he glanced down. He couldn't figure out where he was for a moment, couldn't remember what happened but... He saw it. The crimson on his shirt... and where the blade had gone.. Yet, there was no longer a wound. It had rather become a scar. Looking up, he saw the blurry outline of two people he felt he recognized. "Rose... Nee-San?..." his voice was soft, but his eyes themselves had changed... They were a deep crimson.

Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 05, 2015, 01:50:54 AM: Rosalia's screams had quieted into her sobs, the female shaking violently while her world of gray consumed her vision. Nothing but blurs, or flashes of light that sparked at the corners of her vision. Was this insanity, as crimson started to fill her vision? Oh she heard a voice while lost in her private, shattering mind. Someone said her name... Luquier?... No, it was a male voice... and she didn't have any male units unless it was a dragon or a lion... Her vision started to clear as she listened for more, trying not to lose the voice. When she could see properly, she still saw crimson, though it was the blood that was coating the floor. The female looked to where the wound was, and yet... nothing was there? Was she losing it to the point that she was dreaming, and Seifer was fine?... If so... she looked to his face, where strangely deep crimson were staring up at her and Yugure...

Another cry escaped her lips, but this one was of surprise, shock, and happiness behind her tears. Yugure still had her arms around him, so the redhead wrapped her's around both Yugure and Seifer. Her shaking didn't stop, nor did her sobs, but she wasn't breaking... her foundation, her pillar, her love somehow had returned.

Post by: Beryl on October 05, 2015, 02:00:44 AM: Seifer was still alive. Good, that was what was hoped for, because otherwise, things would go awry very quickly. Not just for the rebellion, but for the invaders as well.

Satoshi stepped back from them, letting them hug it out. Essentially, he was waiting to be struck next, since he was most obviously the biggest force of Link Joker standing right next to them. Then again, the likelihood of that happening seemed to be dimming by the second.

It was quite the nice scene, though. Perhaps this emotional influx was what Yugure needed to get back in touch with her heart and feelings for all humans, and not just the one that was her lover.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 05, 2015, 02:02:29 AM: "A-Ah... Oh my god...!" Yugure expressed joy and shock all the same as Rosalia seeing Seifer alive - feeling he was alive. Hugging by the redhead, the soldier clutched the brunette in arms while leaning closer to the other girl. Ahmes' heart practically stopped for a moment, lost in complete disbelief before realizing this was very much real. He was so very, very relieved.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" The woman kept apologizing over and over, lost in overflowing tears.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 05, 2015, 02:07:16 AM: Seifer was now hugged by two people while still sitting there, trying to get a grasp of... Ah... Right. He impaled himself on the Sword of Determination. That was a thing. Yukino started apologizing, and they were both crying. Good job Seifer... Good job. "You didn't do anything wrong though? ...Not by me anyway, I guess? ...I'm just glad you two are alright." he was a bit squished at the moment but, he gave them both time to cry it out and the hugs and the whole nine yards before speaking again. "...I know I just... I guess, came back to life... But we're not done. We're needed somewhere right now." how did he know? Well, no one really texted him a whole lot anymore unless it was something to do with the reverse. He however would wait for the other two to calm down a bit before he tried moving... Wait, could he even move? ...There was the big toe. Yeah, he could move.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 05, 2015, 02:13:17 AM: Rosalia clung tightly to both of her companions. She didn't want to ever let go, afraid that if she did, Seifer and maybe even Yugure would disappear from her grasp. But slowly her strength started to ebb away from her limbs. Her sobs quieted to sniffles over a few minutes, then finally the redhead leaned against Yugure in return. Only Rosalia's arms dropped to her sides, the younger female having completely passed out. Too much stress could sum that up, not to mention the Reverse Fighters she fought earlier at their house.

Seifer AF +10
Yugure AF +10
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 05, 2015, 02:14:39 AM: "Didn't do anything wrong?! But I... I...!" Yugure found new reason to hate herself even more now, as if it wasn't for whatever black sorcery just resurrected Seifer, she'd be a murderer based on a mistake. He was just... too kind a human being. Ahmes gave a sigh and returned to his card in the meantime. The soldier herself couldn't even move, too overcome with what could've been and what happened.

"Needed... somewhere...? Ah..." Yugure supported a fainting Rosalia with her shoulder.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Beryl on October 05, 2015, 02:18:08 AM: Satoshi nodded. "If that's the case, I'll tuck in Rosalia for you so you two can address it." He crossed his arms. "Unless you'd rather I went."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cipher Izanagi on October 05, 2015, 02:33:23 AM: Seifer shut his eyes, thinking for a moment before feeling the weight shift and change. Rose seemed to have fallen asleep. Shifting from where he was he stood up, stretching, making sure his muscles worked before pulling the asleep red head away from Yukino and lifting her up princess style. Well it couldn't be helped. He heard Satoshi's offer but chose to take Rosalia and put her in one of the facility bed rooms, laying her down on the bed, quickly changed his shirt to a less torn and bloody white dress shirt, before walking out and locking the door behind him. Thankfully he had taken the key from inside. In any case the male made his way back into the area he'd left Yukino helping her to her feet. "Doesn't matter what you think you did. I was the one that did it. End of story." he was a bit to nice yeah, but he was also aggressive when it came to blame games. His crimson eyes met Satoshi's for a moment before looking at Yukino again. "I'm fine. So no worries. Let's go... I'll be with you every step of the way for this nee-san."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Cherry on October 05, 2015, 02:42:26 AM: Yugure simply watched Rosalia get carried away, and Seifer seeming perfectly fine. Not only that, but upon his return, he kept trying to take the blame from her. The woman's mind was just a complete mess... and the energy Satoshi gave off brought her into an even more perplexed state. Gripping at her head, one of her usual migraines were forming. An uncomfortable groan, mostly lost. This brunette was far too nice or stupid, considering in her mind, she had just killed him. How would the soldier even be able to look at the redhead with a straight face...?

"Something's wrong", Alfred stated.

"Hurry along with him, the location you need to reach is in a text", Raging Form Dragon added.

Yugure checked her phone, seeing an SOS from Hana for Hoshiko. Giving a sigh and trying to force the war veteran persona for the time being, she looked at Satoshi to answer: "I want you in my sight, so you're coming with us." Not an ounce of trust was in her tone, but there was still hope of saving her dear friend from these parasitic aliens. The Chosen Sword opened the front door of Headquarters. Taking a card out of the purple deck case and flinging it into the sky, Raging Form Dragon roared loudly as it materialized.

"Get on. We're in a hurry."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: RosaliaIzanami on October 05, 2015, 05:10:30 PM: When Rosalia woke up, she wasn't sure how much time had passed. Was it the same day? A new one? She didn't know, nor bothered to check her phone. Instead, she stretched, feeling awfully cramped up and sore. Yesterday was rough... She had gotten Venus Luquier, thankfully, but in doing so, she had fought a bunch of Reverse Fighters at once, something she wasn't experienced with. She also remembered the blood... Seifer had died, but was revived just as quickly... After that, the redhead sighed and shook her head. That must of been when she passed out, since she couldn't remember anything else save for falling against Yugure and darkness. But now... Where were they?

The female started to wander the facility, noting that just about no one she knew was actually around... Then she heard terrible crashes, like the town itself had become a war zone. Just what was happening anymore?... Part of her wanted to find out, since that was probably where Seifer and Yugure were... but she also remembered Satoshi's warning about the school. If I can save Noely... maybe then we'd have a better chance in this war... With that set in mind, she headed off.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 05, 2015, 11:35:38 PM: After reaching the facility, Cero entered... There... Wasn't anyone... in the main floor. He stumbled forward to the elevator, barely staying conscious. Taking the elevator up to the floor he had designated for the Rebellion, he came to the scientists... Only to collapse on the floor right in front of them. While Cero was in left in a half-conscious state on the ground, the scientists took action. Cero was loaded onto a stretcher and they began giving him medical attention. The Kaiser had taken absurd amounts of damage in his fights against Reverse, drained his own life force away, and pushed his body to limits that shouldn't have been possible for a simple human.

A tempest raged in Cero's mind. He had failed. Repeatedly. Over and over, he failed. He couldn't unreverse Satoshi, he couldn't defeat Freeze Ray, he wasn't able to open the Gate to call Vermillion back, he hadn't been able to defeat Neu, he hadn't been able to Stride, and he couldn't free Hana from the nightmare. In over a year, Cero's one success had been evolving Vermillion to "THE BLOOD" but even that ended up causing the death of the one card he had named his Avatar. Why was he so weak? What could he do to surpass this weakness? He had been able to overcome the control of Reverse and had turned its power into his own, yet he was still so far behind everyone else that mattered.... How could he become the strongest he so desperately wanted to be!? The presence within him that had shown itself earlier... It roared, desiring to be released on the battlefield. Cero was unaware he had been able to bring it forth, and now that it had been given a taste of life yet again, it desired more.
Hearing its roar, Cero awoke once more during the medical procedures. He knew what had to be done now, he just had to find an opponent that could push him enough to call it out. Standing up, he pushed passed whoever was giving him the limited medical attention they could at the facility, not caring that they hadn't finished fixing him up.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 10, 2015, 09:19:35 PM: "Schwarzschild Dragon?! Impossible!"

Hana removed her hand from the screen, the scientists are around the room recording their current findings. This image was sent from Cray as an enemy sighting. Though, this was one was strange in particular.

"How is it alive? Ezel destroyed it during the War of Liberation one year ago!" The Princess debated in doing this, but she took her phone and texted Haruka.

"Haruka? Sera? I know you can probably just lie about this as part of the plan or not, but know anything about Schwarzschild Dragon? At the very least, did you guys bring it back? Meet up at CTA, Floor 11, Room 111 if possible. - Hana Isabella Espoir"

Another to Tsubasa:
"Something weird is going on with Scwarzschild. I know Neu lost the card a year ago. Does she have it back with her? - Hana Isabella Espoir"

There were multiple places where this could go, either way the event left The Princess at a loss above all the visions that she's been having. Quite the dilemma.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 11, 2015, 01:47:35 AM: Hana sent a text to Lance and Neo:
"11th floor, Room 111 Laboratory Room if you guys can come. I need help with something. Onegai! - Hana Isabella Espoir"

"A strange energy signature appeared in Gotem City yesterday."

The screen flashed, showing random numbers and making Hana look smart and stuff.

"Right so... the same as the light portion of the space-time distortion..." The nice numbers turned to a recording of the War of Liberation's end point where The Rift was ejected from Neu's body. "Hmm... so this is Rift energy huh..."

Hana made a guess that combining with her power to a Rift's opening point would enable her to use the Rift as a gate, letting her to travel to where it leads.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 11, 2015, 01:51:38 AM: 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?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: NeoBuster on October 11, 2015, 01:53:15 AM: 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
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 11, 2015, 01:57:26 AM: 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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 11, 2015, 02:08:25 AM: 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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 11, 2015, 02:16:15 AM: 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?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 11, 2015, 02:29:02 AM: 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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 11, 2015, 02:44:41 AM: "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?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 11, 2015, 02:54:19 AM: "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?"
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 11, 2015, 03:00:25 AM: "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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 11, 2015, 03:08:02 AM: "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."
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: NeoBuster on October 11, 2015, 03:09:24 AM: 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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Jello on October 11, 2015, 03:13:19 AM: 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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Lance Korilum on October 11, 2015, 03:15:59 AM: 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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: OverDrive on October 11, 2015, 03:27:45 AM: 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.
Title: Re: (GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area
Post by: Hope on October 11, 2015, 03:29:43 AM: 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.
