(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Cipher Izanagi]

"Relax 'Queenie'." he teased her for calling herself a queen while she was reversed. She probably wouldn't get it but he quietly carried her down the district, making sure not to drop her while glancing at her every so often. She really was okay right? He figured she'd be in some kind of pain since that's kinda what reverse likes to do but... "Don't worry about anything to much, you're fine. I'm just going to take you home and get you some medicine and water. Sound good?"

[RosaliaIzanami]

"Q-queenie?..." The redhead didn't understand. Well, he was carrying her like a princess, but that couldn't be what it was. But trying to think back to any joke they could have had just hurt, wincing at the pain that coursed through her body from head to toe. However, if there was one thing she did remember, it was her deck. More so that she had it with her. "W-wait.. My cards... a-are they okay?... I had them with me.. I-i'm sure I did..."

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer continued to walk along with the female in his arms nodding slightly. "I've got them don't worry. I'll give them back when we get home. Just let me know if and when you want down though." he told her, not sure how she'd really feel about being carried like she was.

[ShadowCM]

Khudus was hiding in a cafe. Ever since he entered the shopping district he had been overwhelmed by fight requests. Thing was all these fighters haboured a dark aura. He fought off a few but they kept coming one after the other. He had no idea what was happening but he had a bad feeling. Ethics Buster was doing well but he was not at his best. These endless fights were taking its toll.

These guys don't give up. Like they are zombies. Curses. he then tee members Noel in the past. When younger she mentioned darkness before he had no idea what she was on about. He had a bad feeling about her. He quickly got up. As he reached for door handle to cafe he stopped. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes and moved away from the door. Look at me. Trying to act the hero. Like I have anything to worry about. I bet Sleifer, Rose or any of her friends would let something happen to her. No your job is to find out the source of this infestation and try to stop it.

He grinned a grin of renewed determination and headed out. First things first. Find someone who knew what was happening and get details on it.

[Cece Lockhart]

Noel now Reversed walks around the district. Now warped by the power of the Reverse, she seeks fighters to strike down. She will now only accept those who are strong, the weak shall be trampled on.

Weakness is a sin, only the strong have the right to stand!

The phrase that she once hated from her father and completely disagreed with is now being held high and proudly. With her new strength, Noel is now impulsed to eliminate the weak.

"I'm a Kusanagi, one of the most powerful families in the world! It is my birthright to trample on to those inferior to me! This whole city... MUST be purified from the weak!"

She kept walking down an alleyway, her goal was simple, Judge and Execute. Nothing more. Nothing less. It was time Noel "woke up" from her dream and to accept the reality of what she was meant to do in life, become the next head of her family and have the world in her hands. Purging everything not deemed worthy of existing. The Reverse has finally given her the power, enough power to even surpass her own father in strength. The world was in her hands and she was their Judge. Noel found unsuspecting fighters having casual matches. Their purification was about to start and walks up to them, "You two... which one of you are strong? It's not like it matters, trash will always be trash compared to me!"

The two fighters got very offended at the insult and pulled out their decks, "For a girl, you talk big. Do you have any idea who you are talking to?! We are the strongest fighters in our neighborhood! We will see who is the one that's trash after we fight!"

Noel got a twisted smile on her face and the red fang-like markings appeared on her face and started to laugh,  "You two? The strongest? Your blasphemy has condemned you! Your judgment has arrived!"

-a few moments later-

The 6th damage was dealt to one of the two fighters quite effortlessly. The dark aura that engulfed Noel had also engulfed the fighter and started to scream in pain and passed out. The other fighter tried running away but Noel dashed to him and forced him into a fight, "Where do you think you are going?! LET'S PLAY SOME MORE!!" And within moments, that fight also concluded in Noel's victory and as the dark aura also began it's Reverse process on the poor fighter, Noel began to laugh at his pain like a sadist. "Your existence itself is a sin... one who is weak has no right to stand next to me! Know your place and kneel before me! Drown in your own weakness and be part of the Reverse!"

Noel then walked away leaving the two fighters screaming in pain from the Reverse process. She then slowly whispered to herself, "I will find you... brother..."

[Spectre Diamond]

After escaping from the clutches of Oshiro he had returned to the forest in order to get the oblivion and has been reversing fighters in the mean time.

"All for the sake of justice...for my empire." He had already lost his kingdom to that damned Oshiro. Now he's focused on building his empire. His generals had contacted him on the halt of his campaign at New York. They told him the Neu has been liberating some of his foot soldiers and have now joined her side of the ongoing war. Tomoda sent him a message that they'll be returning to Japan with the remaining reverse fighters from new york and instruct some of them to head to other countries in order to side track Neu.

"Right make sure she doesn't follow your trail. All in the name of my empire. Take care" He texted him back. He stood up and went on his motorcycle and driven away from the district.

[Hope]

Oshiro rallied his men, now all political supporters, preparing their march onward to greater power. To become rules and dominate over all,to bring change to the systems himself. What a nice goal. Reverse was helping him.

The animal and his supports marched onward through the district, the numbers endless, and this wasn't even all of them. His friends had become leaders of certain sections within the forces, it's grown to a considerable amount. Oshiro had made his way as an official member of the representative body of Japan, but that wasn't enough. His rise to power was coming quickly, and the power that he had in his hands to dominate those who stood in his way mad it quick and easy work.

[OverDrive]

Now that Haruto was returned home safely Tsubasa decided to get some fresh air in a way, he just wanted some free time from this whole situation, especially since he will be needed quite soon. He decided to go to the shopping district as it always has some way of calming him down in the sense that it reminded him of some interesting times when he met friends and just hung out just for the sake of hanging out.

As he walked through the streets he came to a halt, as he saw a man almost as large as an animal, but this man led something like an army, to most it looked like a political takeover, but to someone who could somewhat sense that cold aura after his experiences with Neo and others, it felt like an attack, "..What is this about exactly?" he asked stepping into the man's path.

[Hope]

It was rare nowadays for Oshiro to sense a clean scent. Yes, it was free of the smell of reverse, just like everyone was before take over. Wihin a few days, almost everyone has been taken in by the power. How did this individual evade it? Oshiro thought it would be a chance for another fun game.

He bent down a little to reach the little man's height. "HMMM?" Oshiro inspected him closely and stood back up again, fixing up his tie, looking like a demon dealing cards for the devil. With the way in which he played Vanguard, that might be the right way to go about it. He ordered that a table be placed between them.

"I SMELL A FIGHTING SPIRIT IN YOU, HMMM.. I HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD ONE IN DAYS." He thought about it as a servant set the table in between them along with a pair of bracelets. "A NEWER MODEL SINCE MY LAST ONE WAS WRECKED... THIS ONE HAS A HIGHER INTENSITY." He put a bracelet on himself as he looked at the one whom he now saw as his opponent. "TO THINK THAT YOU AVOIDED THE POWER THIS LONG. ITS EITHER YOU WENT INTO SOME DEEP HIDING OR ARE STRONG. EITHER WAY, I NEED TO GET YOU TO BE ONE OF US." Oshiro laughed.

"PUT ON THE BRACELET IF YOU WISH TO FIGHT OR IF YOU ARE THE COWARD WHO LASTED THIS LONG BY RUNNING OFF, YOU'RE FREE TO DO SO, GRANTED I WILL CHASE AFTER YOU AND THROW YOUR RAG DOLL BODY INTO ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS."

[OverDrive]

The threats of the large man did not seem to alter Tsubasa's resolve, he was now certain that this person was reversed, and that this situation would be dangerous if he did not stop him and his army. He recognized the gear as slum gear, it gave him a better idea where to investigate in the future, as it seems the slums would have some interesting reverse activity, though the gear was more advanced this time.

"I don't plan on falling to you, I'll put an end to your march her and now." he said, placing his deck and strapping the bracelet. "..Good fight huh, that makes both of us, Now Stand Up!"

[Hope]

A few witty remarks back and forth.

Gancelot Zenith was the first to appear, a cross break ride that powered up allies and called a new one for an extra attack. With the fight table that was used, combined with the reverse energy as well as the powerful images of both fighters, the units themselves had materialized as if they were there. The shocks from the table were the least of their problems.

Both fighters stood in opposition, with the crowds a safe distance away from the fight, keeping watch as their leader took on another victim in the middle of an empty shopping district in the middle of the night. Behind both of the fighters were similar buildings, both of a glass and stone construction, stores with offices stacked on top of them. They were just about the same.

Gancelot swung his blade at Dauntless Drive Dragon, activating his limit break and standing along side Blaster Blade, the shock wave of the skills causing the glass on the buildings behind the giant to slightly crackle and show signs of scratches. The turn ended with Oshiro at four damage. Released from his limits was the fangs of his own reverse unit, Dauntless Dominate Dragon Reverse. The lone Vanguard stood, a large dragon looking down upon the Knight that rode onward alongside two swords of light. With the break ride skill, Oshiro was able to do two powerful attacks with his Vanguard, forcing his opponent to guard a considerable amount.

The glass windows of the buildings behind his opponent shattered at the power of the dragon.

On the next turn, Gancelot struck again, calling forth allies and coming at Dauntless Dominate Dragon with a much more tremendous power. The final attack that struck the Dragon and caused a wave that caused a large gaping hole on the building behind Oshiro, the stone shattered and the shards of glass fell upon the surrounding area.

Oshiro wasn't done. Dauntless Dominate Dragon "Reverse" roared, his limit break only to have his assault stopped by Guinevere's skill which increased the unit's shield by +5000 for each of the player's rearguards until the end of the battle. Unfortunately for his opponent, Dauntless Dominate Dragon was able to reduce his rearguards, causing Guinevere's shield to decrease, all the while powering up and in the end the dragon's attack caused the area behind Tsubasa to rumble and the building's stone structure to crack a little on it's front.

"THIS IS TOO MUCH FUN! I JUST CANT HAVE YOU LOSE HERE, WE HAVE TO PLAY AGAIN HAAHAH! I UNDERSTAND NOW." The animal enjoyed the worthy opponent and found that he was good enough as he was. He wouldn't gain anything from reversing this one man, let alone the only one who gave him a decent enough challenge that he actually enjoyed himself.

As the the units had their final clash, Gancelot's power caused a good deal of the building behind Dauntless to crumble more while Dauntless merely caused a few more windows to shatter. When it came to their champions, Oshiro overpowered his opponent and grabbed his head. Oshiro's hands were large enough to carry the little warrior who was instantly lifted off of the ground. "GET STRONGER AND FIGHT ME AGAIN, I'LL LET YOU OFF THE HOOK THIS TIME."

With that, Oshiro took his opponent's rag doll body and tossed it into the building behind him, his opponent being flung like a bullet through the glass and causing it to shatter.

Oshiro straightened up his suit and ordered his crowd to follow him as they walked off.

[OverDrive]

The fight was definitely a sight to behold, and with the strength of the system and the fighters the Shockwave seemed to echo into reality, causing certain levels of destruction to nearby buildings and even more devastation to the buildings behind both fighters. With the fight unconcluded nothing could have prepared Tsubasa for what was coming, he'd been too focused on the fight and it's intensity, growing to respect the fighter regardless of the circumstances.

As Oshiru lifted Tsubasa from his head and thew him to the building behind him all what Tsubasa could think was that things happened too quickly, "Uggh!!" he grunted, as his body crashed into the building causing even more damage to it.

As he descended to the ground with ease, surprisingly, he realized that the man and his army had left or were leaving, "..That fight was incredible...but I just got thrown into a building...yet I don't feel that much pain...it's as If I was pushed to a wall..but the force was there...even with all the damage I did the damage from my body getting slammed is clear...just what is going on.." he said, as he began walking towards the other building, the one that Oshiru's units used as a sandbag, though from the front Tsubasa had done more dmg.

"..I guess that what saved him was the system and his throw clearly the power of me and my units did more." he said, as he continued walking next to the building.

"...Ah...It...can't be...." he said, staring at the back of the building that is basically nothing bit rubble now...

"The damage that I dealt may have shown from the front but...not like this...just how much power...the back of this building is basically gone..." he said, as he tried to make sense of the situation.".Daisuke Oshiru...we'll meet again.."

[Lance Korilum]

  In his hunt for the Black Rings, Cero found himself in the shopping district.  He looked up to the sky to see if the black ring was still present.  Much to both his excitement and dismay, it was.  There were a horde of Reverse fighters scattered about, but, in some way, they seemed somewhat different than the other Reverse fighters.  Cero grimaced as the rest of the Reverse fighters in the area noticed him, and he took out his deck in preparation to fight...

[Hope]

Another taken in. A politician most likely trusted by many was reversed by Oshiro. He walked onward past the prominently known Shopping District once more, his followers ransacking the shops for their bounties. He grabbed a few stray fighters as he walked past, throwing and tossing them about, letting out a few screams here and there. His large organized militia of reversed fighters had now grown, even sporting their own cars for easy transport. His steady rise to power was going well.

[Lance Korilum]

  Cero had began fighting off the Reverse fighters that come at him, but in the distance he noticed a brute of a man in the distance that was acting differently than the rest.  Taking him for a leader, Cero attempted to push passed the Reverse fighters, knowing that taking out their leader would make his job far easier.  However, he wasn't able to get though so easily.  Hoping that this would grab his attention, the Kaiser decided to see if something potentially dangerous would work.  He no longer had the power of Reverse coursing through his body, but his Soul still had that power.  Cero released a similar aura to the one he had gained while Reversed, but now less chaotic and more in control, free from the taint of the invaders.  A brilliant purple bolt of lightning shot from Cero's body into the sky, something that would obviously get the attention of anyone nearby.  Most of the nearby Reverse fighters backed up in fear, realizing that they weren't facing someone, they were facing some thing, something far out of their league.  Returning his attention to the brute in the distance, his aura still erupting into the sky, the Kaiser pointed at him, shouting, "You there!  You're a leader of Reverse, aren't you!?"
