(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[AlwaysAwake]

Alex had decided to get off his behind at home and head out, the news of the town in riot, coupled with disturbing images of people he had seen before on the news causing the young man to rush out of his home. A common cold having kept him inside the days before but now it was time to take to the streets. Truthfully he had felt it in his gut, something was wrong with the lively city ever since he came back, and it seems now it was the time to find out.

Interestingly enough on the way out he had grabbed the wrong deck, having left his Daikaiser deck at home and instead having brought the gift from Haruka, Ethics Buster. Though this may have been some mishap of fate, sentient cards and all that mumbo jumbo. Though Daikaiser or not the terror that had taken the streets had made it unsafe either way. A giant army of shady people

For the moment he'd hide around, skulking nearby brokem rubble as he attempted to avoid most of the odd unresponsive groups of people that walked around as if zombies from some cheap horror flick. He was a bit curious but the word danger seemed to be branded within their very core, his base instincts only giving the order to stay away.

Though fate had a way of giving people the middle finger it seemed. His luckily stealthy travel having made him make his way to the center strip, though the image that lay before him almost made him scream out profanity. A giant gathering of the zombie types were all about the place, with a giant seven foot tall person in the middle of it all giving the aura of a dignified and yet brutal commander of who was not to be trifled with. He gulped, his eyes scanning a better place to hide as his sight caught the most odd thing. A person floating in the air with what could only be spoken as human sized wings, coupled with a dark ring that loomed over the entire area. To be fair he wasn't sure how he missed that one but then again he wasn't the most attentive person either.

For the moment, he'd be hidden around somewhere. Hoping to not be found though making his way towards the Diablo and Hikaru area by chance.

[Nobody]

As this "war" raged on, and people were at eachother's throats the figure jus stood there, It's eyes still focused on Sera throughout his entire fight. The odd feeling was still there, and the figure was unsure what caused this kind of reaction to Sera.

When someone approached, It looked at him, a man in a trenchcoat and a mask as if he's posing for a super hero or a vigilante from comic books. The figure laughed a bit under It's nose, and stepped forward the man.

"Do you really think that it'd be so easy? Do you really expect me to just tell you such things only because you asked? That's not how this works."

The figure slowly walked towards Diablo, with the scythe drawn forward.

Yuzuki Avian looks around and says "what's happened here?" While he goes to see if anyone is here that can awser him

[Hope]

"Gancelot Zenith..."

The knight that taught her of the value of bonds, the value of her own sister to her now stood as her opponent. She wished to thank him, but her words wouldn't move through the filter that was the black ring. Her black wings spread as Ramiel Reverse descended as her Vanguard, the darkness intensifying and the flowing outwardly, taking over the calming light that the Angels usually bring alongside them.

Ramiel didn't speak much, but if anything all it did was tell Hana to keep moving onward, to wipe away everything so that no evil may exist. Everyone is a sinner, everyone must be decimated to nothing. How much of it was Hana led to believe? Her tainted heart forced her to move towards the goal, but her sane mind still resided deep within, letting her stay as an observer, unable to move. Her companion Nociel stood by her and defended her, making sure that she doesn't feel alone and that she keeps her sanity regardless of what happens.

The battle started out with Nociel and Blaster Blade on the Vanguard Circles going head to head.
The fight ended in the same manner.

With Gancelot Zenith's Limit Break as well as Alm's skill, Yukino would be able to Call Ahmes with hundred percent chance, powering up the knight and giving way to another attack. Hana wasn't going to let it pass. She guarded with all she had, and with the final attack being at an enormous amount of power, Nociel set up the defense. A perfect defense to be exact, as with her skill Hana was able to retrieve a perfect guard from her damage in exchange for a Sariel in hand.

"Thanks Nociel..." Hana muttered under her breath.
"No problem Bella-chan..." Nociel made it clear through her tone that she wasn't supporting her own actions as well, but it must be done.

After the assault, a battered and injured Ramiel stood, nearly broken apart, the black ring on her back almost faded away. But it was still there. Arabaki took a shot at Ahmes, then Ramiel charged at Gancelot Zenith her sharp blades slashing at his golden armor, following up with a blow of reverse energy, pushing him back.

Critical Trigger.
Napgal, a heal.
Another... but Yukino was unable to get it.

The power of the reverse surrounded the knight of bonds. "I'm not allowing Yukinee to get reversed... not here." Her body moved on it's own to do a separate course of action, still as brutal as the act of reversing the champion.  The small ball composed of the space-time distortion shot forward. Hana was reversing Yukino... but...

"Disappear.. Gancelot!"

Ramiel struck the Knight again, and moved aside. The space-time distortion twisted and a turned into a sharp lance, piercing the knight and exploding, consuming Gancelot and wiping him off the plane of Earth, sending him back to Cray. The explosion then formed back to a compressed spear in the same manner charged at Salome.

"You too.."

Explosions. Quite the light show happened. As the reverse energy began to crawl slowly towards Yukino to take her, Hana extended her arm and a strong force pushed her backwards. "Yukino isn't getting reversed on my watch.. though this may sting a little... gomenasai.."

Hana ascended and flew, overlooking the desolate war zone. "Now that those annoying knights are dealt with..."

"I believe that you will surely free me, my Knight."

[OverDrive]

The figure underestimated Diablo, it seemed to find amusement in his attempt to get answers, nevertheless his emotions were kept in check even under the mask he was neither intimidated nor moved in any way. He simply stood his ground, getting prepared for any sudden movements. The moment you hesitate or let any verbal or physical action get the best of you, that is when you have truly lost the battle, in this case it had begun with fear tactics.

"It can only be easy if you allow it to be, the choice is yours I don't wish to resort to force but if you push me to it I will, and when I do that scythe you hold so proudly will dissipate before your eyes." he said, revealing his deck within his hand, as he stared at the figure, the mask hiding his expression all the while.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren's eyes widened as he saw what happened. Yukino lost? Was she going to turn against them now too? No, it was worse than that. Hana was able to make her units disappear.

That was a dimension rift!

Having something like that here makes this even worse. How can she control it?

Darren gripped onto his deck from the floor, knowing that someone here had to stop Hana. He didn't see himself as stronger than Yukino, but it didn't change the fact that he was here and she needed to be stopped. Besides, he could't afford to lose here, not until he defeated the clown with the red blade. For all he did, he needed to pay.

[Nobody]

The figure just stood there, looking at Diablo's hand, tilting It's head and then shrugging in disappoitment after setting the scythe down.

"And here I assumed you were actually serious.." It looked around, seeing the vast destruction and chaos all around them, then let out a sigh.

"Whatever, I'll humor you.", the figure pulled out It's own deck, as well as materializing a platform for both It and Diablo to use. "What a disappointment.." It whispered, before setting a face-down card on the Vanguard Circle.

[Spectre Diamond]

Dragruler was a sight to behold as it dissappered from Hikaru's view and stabbed the cyber dragon from behind causing it to screech in agony. He noticed that the top card of his deck had floated to his damage zone. He was about to use his dragon's skill until he noticed that Diablo had no units on the field to lock. His eye's widen as he realized the critical error in his lose. Hikaru scrowled in his mask realizing that he had been beaten.

"No guard." That's all he said as the six damage landed on the red field as it disappeared. The reverse began to cover him as he let out a cry of frustrated anger and placed his hand over his heart.

"Don't you dare give out on me.." His mask began to dissolve into nothingness, his bluish raven hair sprouted out and his cold amber eyes came into view for the world to see. The metallic collar gave out and shattered into a million pieces and the organic suit began to break down as well. They faded as the reverse aura took over once again as he gave out a final cry.

"AHHHHHHH!" Red spiky sigils appeared under his eyes as he screamed. He then fell onto the ground as his cards floated down slowly. Hikaru can barely keep his eyes open at this point.

[Cherry]

Hana had been infected by the parasite of Reverse, and this was likely Yugure's own fault. Truly, the princess corroded by evil thought this was helping them. While being a test subject of the virus provided information, chaos and destruction did not. The battered queen was going to ensure that was understood. The Liberators had been ready for this: the invaders making it into the Sanctuary. Ashlei was already gone, and now Ramiel was too. The black winged angel commanded forces with the intent to kill, her real mind lost like her Vanguard's.

A duel with Celestials ensued, however, Ahmes took note of Nociel still present. That was evidence enough that hope wasn't lost. These two Avatars we destined as the defining points of the game. Clashing on the Vanguard circles first.

Ramiel Reverse - the fallen angel - could not achieve it's Crossride power. However, Gancelot Zenith did. The issue was Gold Paladins vanishing into the Damage Zone from Ramiel's Limit Break. Still, just like before with Sera, Yugure and the Horseman of Bonds would not be daunted. Neither would Ahmes with Alm's ability. The one-hundred percent certainty of the Ace appearing was set. Zenith didn't reach, however, and Nociel had retrieve a Perfect Guard. They realized that Nociel had secured survival, getting that Perfect Guard to stop Ahmes' full power.

They still wouldn't give in. They're all stubborn as hell, and so was their queen.

Yugure began exerting herself, which wasn't easy given a lot of power went into facing off against Overlord the Rebirth. Ahmes dashed forth, but was shot by Arabaki. Zenith continued onward to strike down the injured Ramiel Reverse coming at him, despite his own wounds. Yet, the leading warrior was struck down by power of the void. A Critical Trigger appeared, but Napgal saw to it that Yugure would survive... the first damage. Spewing blood, the Chosen Sword couldn't summon a miracle due to having no energy left. The second damage was completely out of her control, and of course, it was not a second heal.

Gancelot, lying on the ground... and Yugure, struggling to stand were surrounded by the power of the invaders. They only heard maddening cackling, they had finally gotten one of the biggest thorns in their side in THEIR hands. The woman didn't curse this fact. It was the reality that she couldn't reach Hana yet. Always needing more power - always needing more to reach.

However, she had already given in to temptation before. This wouldn't be an reenactment. They wouldn't take her or they would only take a corpse.

Before able to take some form of countermeasure, Gancelot was hit by Ramiel. A distortion spear impaled Zenith, yet... he wasn't... Reversed?! The knight vanished from Earth, and Salome was subsequently stabbed with the reformed lance without getting to respond, disappearing in an explosion of energy as well. Yugure didn't follow, instead, she was blown back by Hana herself from the void. Nearly choking on more blood, the soldier was flung away again, but survived the invaders' grasp by the skin of her teeth.

Raging Form had returned to her side, thankfully having gone untouched from Celestials and Hana due to... fighting everything else that breathed in the area. Seeing the princess fly upward, the wounded queen sat up with the assistance of the wrath entity, gazing upon the Reversed angel.

She believes Yugure will free her? Of course she will. The woman was basically a Liberator in itself at this point - being one of those given the title to liberate the worlds from evil. What had to be done between the sisters was no different from that job.

Well, there was one difference.

The fact that this was personal.

Alfred saw his knights in the mental lobby of Yugure's mind, heavily wounded by the battle with Angel Feather. This... nightmare. Link Joker and Reverse reached the Sanctuary - everywhere on Cray was infested with the horror of the invasion. Gritting his teeth, he didn't wish to stand by and continue allowing this suffering. Yet, with Gancelot Zenith at a power even beyond his current own, could the King of Knights even rise to the occasion properly?

Don't you... give up... either.

This woman had been emotionally wrecked like a mindless rag doll, constantly thrown into the fray of danger when it wasn't necessary beyond this "title" of hers, and has bled more than one should for battles that took place in the form of cards on Earth. The ruler of the Sanctuary should be the one saying that, but she said it. Such an unbelievable thing to hear...

... Usually came from Ahmes too.

He looked at the injured Blaster Blade in awe, seeing how Yugure and him were... so much alike.

[Nobody]

"Awaken, Star-vader, Dust Tail Unicorn." the figure declared, signaling that the fight has started.

"Demonic Claw Star-vader, Lanthanum. Demonic Bullet Star-vader, Neon", were the units called on It's very first turn and second turn of the fight. With this merciless strike accompanied by a critical trigger the damage zone turned into 0 to 3 in the Figure's favor. There was not a single reaction from It about it, just a sigh of disappointment.

The fight raged on, with the Figure having clear advantage. Both players rode their Breakride units, and a turn after that it was time. Revenger Dragruler Phantom from Diablo, whose Limit Break dealt unavoidable damage to the Figure. Something It didn't see before. But even with that, and a full field Diablo has only managed to deal 2 damage, putting the Figure to 4.

Just as it was planned.

"I've had enough of this card game." the figure exclaimed, grasping both It's scythe and a card in It's hand. The hazy presence that accompanied this mystery persona finally materialized in actual form. The form of a gigantic dragon surrounded by multiple black rings.

"Star-vader, Chaos Breaker Dragon!" was it's name, and upon it's arrival nearly all units Diablo had on the board became locked.  Then, the Battle Phase came, both the Figure and Chaos Breaker Dragon grasped a firm hold onto their weapon and moved it back, unleashing a mighty swing at Diablo himself, namely, his heart. The force of this swing alone caused a massive blast of wind that destroyed the ground behind the fighters.

It wasn't a strike to kill, but a strike to Reverse him to join the mindless army of zombies that have been going around. However, the strike was blocked by Diablo who used Blaster Dark's sword as a shield. But not even that was enough, the sword cracked a little bit and the swing's force finally got to Diablo, sending him flying like a torpedo into some building in the distance.

"I'm done here." the Figure whispered to itself as it looked around, everyone was leaving, Sera was gone, and that group of people that seemed to act like heroes got mostly defeated, there was no point in staying here.

It simply walked away, scythe in hand, once again accompanied by a hazy Chaos Breaker Dragon by It's side.


(Note: We both agreed that this would be the outcome of the fight, and Bluish asked me to describe Diablo blocking the strike and getting sent flying in my post.)

[Jello]

These two might as well have been stubborn brothers who just really don't wanna share the same toy. In this case, Haruka's body, despite it being Haruka's own body. Sera became very attached to it in the past few days, and now, they were bonded quite literally. Spiritually anyways. And now it was really bad because they've grown accustomed to each other's personalities.

Sera really likes romcoms. Haruka really likes wound licking. These two are going to have some words with each other when they finally get off of this roof. They came to an agreement that the only way to get off of this forsaken sky scraper would be to transmit their images to the bottom of the building and try to take turns walking. Haruka decided he would take the directional input of the body while Sera controlled the limb position. This was a one-man machine with two pilots.


Uh oh.

Arriving at the bottom of the building took only a few second of falling and then an instant image replacement to allow the spacetime distortion to keep them from completely taking impact. The body still didn't want to move very much, after several more minutes of bantering about why Matthew McConaughey isn't the worst actor ever, and why Haruka gets enjoyment woun-

That thought was erased by both of them at the same time. Must save face. Haruka was fighting an uphill war against himself at the moment. Standing up, the duo in a soloist body began to lightspeed dash across the field, but it was very clunky because Haruka had no idea why he was still moving so fast. Sera explained and took full control for just a moment, as if carrying Haruka's part of the responsibility, bridal style. To no avail, their senses' weren't cooperating, making it overly difficult to find who he was looking for. Sera refused to let him see Yukino, but anyone else would be okay. Why? Not sure, considering Yukino can't actually do anything about the current situation.

Well maybe the-

Haruka I swear to god you aren't a dog you don't have to be that way.

But-

No, now shut up and do what I tell you.

:c

[Hope]

A good deal had been lost here...

This must have been painful to watch for Minette as well since United Sanctuary was his original home. He had told Hana of his days there, even his days along familiar names such as Akane who would chase him around as he was a high beast himself. "This was all for the sake of research," he said. They kept in under wraps, he had been going beyond what he was supposed as he wasn't even a real sage yet himself, just a student. Still, to be chosen a representative and as a companion to the Princess, he set out to what he could, and this was the plan that he hatched as the Sage's Egg. Not the best, not the most ethical, his science was quite gruesome actually. If the King knew about this then he would be sent back to his homeland and have an earful, even to the point where his university days would come to an end. Hana didn't blame Minette, as long as we watched and chronicled all this, so that her efforts wouldn't be in vain. If anything, she was hoping that his research him would help him become a Sage. He has a dream just like she did.

This pain... it truly hurt. Hurting others truly hurt most... especial those whom she knew. Her bleeding sister was beneath her, gazing up at her and she felt the gaze, as if the swords that would be in her eyes pierce her heart. Nothing came out of her heart but more malicious intent, the black nothingness coated it and spilled from it through and through.

"N-Nee-san." Hana's arms outstretched as chains of the void restricted any further action. She tried to scream out information about the seed and how to wear down the invaders, "The generals, we just have to defe-." The energy held onto her, and let her speak no further.

But...

"The seed's energy is composed of both light and darkness despite how the invaders are only given the void energy! The Rift brought the invaders here just like Neu Edelweiss preformed Stride with it! The were never meant to exist!" This wasn't direct information about the Seed nor it's weakness. The void energy didn't read it as an act of treason and therefore had no reason to restrict her. Still far-fetched, but it boiled down to two things.

The act didn't alert the seed of anything, the act wasn't one of treason against it as the seed did not recognize the Rift as an ally nor an existing force. The other was that the seed was never meant to be composed of a time-space time energy, otherwise it would have silenced Hana from saying so since revealing such a thing was part of its weakness.

Closer and closer to the truth. Better listen to what Minette also gathered later.


Oshiro pulled another one of his subordinates from under the rubble, this time by the forehead, and another by their torso. He was able to wrap his hand around their entire torso. He threw them onto a pile and a few cars came by. He personally threw the piles of bodies onto the cars and tied them onto the top like bags for a camping trip, his iron grip caused the rope to become a vice grip, holding the bodies in place.

His troop also got a pick up truck so that was easier, her just threw the bodies on there.

He himself had big smile on his face, watching the other side virtually fall apart. All of those whom opposed his force were decimated to near death and the blood excited him even more. When he looked around, he noticed that there were no more buildings to throw his victims in to so he decided that it was best to let the heroes recover so that he may throw them into buildings on a different occasion.

He looked over at Hikaru, the only one general that laid defeated among the troop. "HMPH. WEAKLING!" He entered his car and more were on their way for the rest of the army. After a short period of time, the convoy drove off, piles and piles of injured bodies on board.


Hana sat back on top of the skyscraper, "Thanks for coming today minna!" She gave a wave over to the crowd of reverse fighters as they departed. This also acted as a taunt to the fallen and bloodied fighters who were on the opposing side of her. "Looks like the invader's operation was a success..."

Wait ,where the heck is Sera?

"SERA!" She yelled out to him as if she were his mother and he was a child. "We have to go! Play time is over!"

[OverDrive]

Dragruler's descent, marked Diablo's last turn for this fight as the mysterious figure utilized the power of the new Link Joker unit, The Chaos Breaker Dragon, both in the reality and in the game, the fight was sadly unconcluded the tussle between the two beasts would've been an amazing sight to witness. As both units were beginning to materialize in reality. With a quick swing from both scythe,  a huge wind blast and Shockwave were created, which then revealed the situation, both Diablo were stopping the scythe with their blades, in this case with Diablo using Yunos's blade of determination.

"hhhaa..Tch" he grunted, as the Shockwave from the slash almost cracked the blade and sent Diablo flying towards the nearest building.

Mid-flight he saw what had become of Yukino and Hana's fight, but his focus was immediately shifted back to his current situation. Holding the blade he exclaimed, "..This blade holds determination,  it won't break this easily Chaos Breaker!"

With a quick move he positioned the blade to pierce the building he was headed towards, his plan worked. Removing the blade from it's now apparent crater the blade appeared fixed and fully repaired as if the strike had done so little.

He then descended from the building onto the ground,  first examining the area and noticing how, the figure had disappeared but his next concern was to help Yukino and Hikaru, so he immediately headed towards Yukino making sure that she will be in good care by those around her,"..Be careful.." he said lightly as he passed by.

He then carried Hikaru's body and gave a final look at his...his other persona's friends and then to the destruction that had happened, "...Are we really fighting to survive...or have things changed and we're fighting back...this is not the right result." With that Diablo disappeared taking Hikaru's body to the nearest Hospital.

[xateramusa]

Xat soon arrived at the shopping district and seen that it was destoryed. 'poor place.' She said as shirayuki started speacking to her . "Be careful there are reversed people here. Daiyusha told me that we need to go here and i wonder why? Shriayuki told her.

Xat nodded and using her skills she learned walked past people by using the shadows and sneaking around every corner. Eventually she saw someone lieing in a pool of blood, and after making sure no reversed fighters were around she went out to help the person. When she reached the person she picked up the person and threw there hand over her shoulder and dragged him into safety of the shadows. For once she was glad that her training was able to help outside of a mission.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren had heard everything that Hana said. A rift made of both light and of darkness? What did that mean? Create and destroy? That was what Daikaiser told him. He really didn't understand what it meant, but Hana gave information that he didn't have to in any way. Before he had time to think about it, his body was beginning to be dragged away.

He didn't want to leave, he needed to fight alongside his friends, but he couldn't actually move and they looked like they were pulling out. I guess their objective was complete. Many of his comrades had lost and even he couldn't fight any longer. Maybe it was best he was being pulled away.

She finally came. Its better it was after the carnage and confusion.
