(GS3) Field: Train Station

[Killa]

Extremelly bored and with no plans for the day, Makuto decided to go to the train station. He arrived there and the first thing he noticed was the smell of grilled steak.

"Great, i am hungry now." mumbled Makuto.

He couldn't help but notice a girl nearby and a guy calling her out. He turned his head and he then realised that little girl was Bella the super Vanguard Idol he saw at the Summer Festival. He tried to approach her hoping he could get the chance for an autograph or even a cardfight if he was lucky.

"Hello. Are you Bella the Vanguard Idol?"

[Hope]

She heard a really raspy voice. No, the voice wasn't raspy, more like dry. Right, it was thirsty.

"Hi Overlord-kun." She knew this based on how he sounded very dehydrated.
"I'm heading to go adopt a dog, dad-san says that if I want one that mom and him would help me take care of it."

Hana really wanted a dog, the company of one seemed very great to her. The dog would be her little friend, or not so-little friend. Either way, she finds them very cute, especially when they stick their tongues out and wag their tails, walking around. She remembers when her dad used to have a dog and how happy the pet made him. Mom simply approved of her getting a dog, but dad-san was overjoyed. The moment that she told him that she wanted one, he quickly ran to the backyard along with some workers. He then tackled a tree, causing it to shatter into multiple pieces of wood. They are now making a dog house.

"How are you toda-" Hana greeted as she walked to the animal shelter.

Immediately she noticed that someone else had come up, asking her a question.
"Hai hai, I am BELLA." She smiled in surprise, a fan?....

*screams internally*

[Jello]

Haruka was rather happy about how Hana responded so quickly. He expected her to completely ignore him, for whatever reason. She explains that she wants a dog. Haruka scratches his head in thought.

What kind of dog would she want? A rottweiler maybe? Probably not. Maybe a bulldog? Eh, probably not "cute" enough. Hmmm....

"A Labrador...?" Haruka thinks out loud.

At the same time, another man comes up asking for a girl named "BELLA."

Who?

Oh right. That was Hana's stage name at the beach festival. Haruka finds himself stepping aside, as to not get in the way of the transaction. Most likely an autograph signing or something of the sort. He smiles at the man, as to make a decent expression.

[ryujiknight]

About 3 days after I lost Blaster Dark in the "Underground Slums" I decided that maybe I can get 'Blaster Dark' from Card Capital, I picked up my piggy bank full of pennies and ran to the "Train Station"...

After getting there right before the doors closed, someone put there hand in front of the door and let me in. "Thanks" Shin'en said as he walked in. As I walked in I saw his Deck in hand, I thought to ask but without Blaster Dark I knew I was gonna loose...but I asked anyways.."Do you play Vanguard" Shin'en said nervously.

[Killa]

Makuto smiled as Bella responed. He wasn't expecting someone like her to respond to a stranger so he was really excited.

"Bella-chan, this is a silly question but can i get an autograph? I really liked your performance the other day and how you played Bermuda Triangle. And about that, could i please have a cardfight with your Bermuda Triangles, i want to test my deck versus that matchup. I know you might be busy but i felt like asking."

Completelly forgetting about the other guy, he looked at him and he tilted his head.

"Are you her friend or something?" he asked him.

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Kurai looked at the stranger's face, intensified his gaze. Upon a closer inspection he deduced that this person lacked confidence in their card-fighting ability, but was unable to determine why. Kurai's composure dropped upon hearing the male's question... "Do you play Vanguard?"

The expression on Kurai's face became his alternated personality, his competitive side appeared before this person. He uttered the words
"Challenge... ACCEPTED" 

With this, Kurai challenged the person to a cardfight.

[Hope]

Hana took a pen and paper out of her bag and quickly began scribbling as if it were second nature.

She was ready.

He was asking about Bermuda Triangle though, which made her feel a little uneasy as they'd miss a chance to perform. She would have to politely decline this offer sadly, at least until she figures out a way to get them to return.

"Gomen but I seem to have left the Bermuda Triangle at home, I'm just going on a quick outing right now!" She finished her scribbling, a full paper with her autograph and everything, some stuff about how happy she is to be an idol, and how she appreciates those who support her. She signed her name on the bottom with a star.

"BELLA ★彡"

[Jello]

Haruka nods in response to the fan. "Yeah, a friend." Haruka looks at Hana, worried the question about Bermuda Triangle might make her a bit restless. Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. Instead, she seems rather calm about, as she signs out her Idol signature and hands it back to the man.

Then he realized it. She had pen and paper ready for this exact moment. Or rather, just for fans in general. Why did Haruka think any differently? This is Hana we're talking about.

He sighs for a moment, thinking about his own deck.

Bermuda Triangle is gone right now... What would happen if he lost Overlord? All of Kagero?

Haruka was having trouble baring the thought. He simply let it slip to the back of his mind, ditching the topic altogether.

[Killa]

Makuto took the autograph happily and placed it inside his pocket. He was glad he got to see her in person but sad that he didn't get to fight her.

"Yeah, i forgot to itroduce myself, My name is Makuto Akuyaku. Nice to meet you Bella." he said while still trying to smile.

He then looked at the guy and gave him a glare. He didn't want to leave this place without a cardfight atleast so he decided that he would be his opponent instead.

"Well now that you know my name, how about you fight me young man, you see I don't want to leave this place without having a cardfight. I'd be glad if you accepted this challenge." he said while still glaring and smirking slightly at him.

[Jello]

The smile that had sat on his face turned into a look of confusion at first.

"Me?" He pointed to himself. A bit puzzled, Haruka quickly realizes he was just now challenged to a Cardfight. Despite loving the game so much, he was worried about having a meltdown after the fight, just like against Yukino.

"Maybe if I take it easy..." he mumbles to himself. He takes a quick deep breath and looks back at the man glaring at him. "Okay, a fight sounds good to me. Just do me a favor and lose the stare. It freaks me out dude." Haruka smiles back though, trying to be as sincere as possible.

"Are you sure Haru?" Haruka nods, presumptuously at Makuto. "I'm Haruka Nakahara. Let's do this, yeah?"

[Beryl]

All the while, on a bench, Satoshi was sitting in a trenchcoat and sunglasses. With some of his remaining money, he had bought clothes to go incognito with. Ironically, he decided to hide himself, not because he felt ruined or ashamed or anything anymore. Actually, it was a different problem.

He couldn't feel anything. Nothing about his situation, his family, his friends...it was all gone, locked away as though it was never there to begin with.

That wasn't the only thing he had walked away either. He had bought a safety deposit box in a post office to place his deck and other valuables in. He did so, because he just couldn't be bothered right now. He wanted peace in his head after yesterday, and he got it by putting his deck away. He couldn't be a champion of Cray when he let emotions get in the way. He had to take a break and remove those emotions for good.

He stared at Haruka and Hana through a side glance of his sunglasses. He wanted to say something to them, but words couldn't form in a way he liked. Yukino was right to tell him to shut up yesterday, he wasn't thinking of what to say at all; only what he was feeling at the time. Idiot.

---

Seph also thought Satoshi was an idiot. Not because he was stuck in a safety deposit box, though.

Actually, he was right behind him, invisible to the world but still watching over the boy. Putting the deck away wasn't going to get rid of him, they already had a bond. But he was playing along mostly out of interest in what the rest of the Triad of Hope would do now that one of their Royal Guard was essentially no more. Would things be the same? Would the other Guard notice his incredibly obvious aura, another reason Seph considered him an idiot?

Hell, anyone with a brain and familiarity with him would know his trademark messy brown hair. But...at the same time, the spirit knew there was another half to the disguise. Satoshi ignored people on the street, and as such, they ignored him. What would make this situation different? He silently pleaded that Haruka, or even better, the princess of Cray, Hana, would feel something familiar about this cloaked fellow, weary as Cray's affairs had made them over the past 48 hours...

[Killa]

Makuto was really happy to face a Kagero player as they were not really that common. Completelly forgetting about his desire to fight Bermuda Triangle he gave his opponent all he got. With doreen's high boosts and Death Anchor's extreme soul charging and power boosting he almost got the win. He wasn't really expecting his opponent to pull out a new card he didn't even know, that about card was called Dragonic Overlord, The End. That card decided the game. With his skill that made him restand he won the game.

"Well, I wasn't really expecting to lose hehe. But i still enjoyed this game, I'd definetelly like to fight you again Haruka. As for Bella-chan, I hope we meet again so i can have that cardfight i wanted so badly." Makuto said as he smiled. He then stretched out his hands expecting a handshake from both of them.

(Affinity: Bella +1
Haruka +1)

[Hope]

Hana gave the man a handshake, "Dark Irregulars... and Makuto huh..." Hana thought to herself. She was thankful to him for being a fan. She then bowed to him and walked into the animal shelter, very quickly, because she could not hold back her excitement over dogs.

There were many dogs!
"Woof!"
"Woof."
"Woof!!"
"W00F."
"..woof"
"WooF!"

Hana had entered her happy place. From her back, Cero's deck resonated with the dogs.

"Woof."

!!!!! She didn't know which dog to get, maybe, she should just adopt all of them!!!!
Then she saw it, a really small puppy, with white fur that shone as if a stage's spotlight was focused on it. It was glittering and glamorous. That is the dog that she will befriend. She walked up to it and sat down, criss-cross. She extended her arms out and the dog began to sniff it, it then hopped onto her legs and started licking her cheek. It tickled her and she giggled a little.

"Mmmm.. kawaii!!..." She started petting the fur, getting lost in its softness of the little puppy.
"So you're a Labrador huh?"

[ryujiknight]

Without 'Blaster Dark' I knew I was going to loose, but that didnt stop me from trying as I filled my field I attacked the Vanguard, "TWIN DRIVE!!, First check nothing....and then came the 2nd...a Critical trigger!!" the trigger I needed that could win the game. With my final attack I won the game. Surprised I know I didnt accomplish anything and the stranger knew it, without 'Blaster Dark' my deck was incomplete, without 'Blaster Dark' I was incomplete. As the train stopped I stepped off and rans straight to Card Capital without hesitation I went in....

+1 affinity for Kurai

[Jello]

With an adamant finish, Haruka smiles, satisfied with the win at 3 - 6. He hadn't exactly mastered The End yet, considering it was still burning to the touch. However he didn't suddenly lose almost all of his senses upon Crossriding which was definite plus in his own book. This game went much smoother than the one against Yukino. He even managed to Persona Blast for more trigger checks and backed his opponent into a corner. After two turns of perfect guarding and well placed triggers as guards, the game was over.

"Death Anchor... huh." Haruka was genuinely interested in the card. "Nice pickup! Looks crazy good, especially without a Perfect Guard in hand." Haruka praises his own deck for perfect draws all game.

After which he shakes Makuto's hand and smiles. "Yeah, let's fight again someday, okay?" Haruka salutes him off. He turns around, to see Hana had already vanished into the pet store. While he at first was going to follow suit, he remembered his candy trip. "Oh no, I need to go get ice cream and wafers!" He starts dashing towards the shopping district before something from the corner of his eye catches his attention.

"Eh-Ehhhhh..." Haruka stops, and takes a couple of steps back. A man in a longcoat and sunglasses is sitting on the bench. As if it wasn't suspicious enough, he could easily tell it was Satoshi. Haruka wasn't whether or not to tell him off for wearing such a ridiculous disguise or to get on his ass for what he did last night in his fight. Either way, he walked up fire in his eyes.

"You there. Satoshi." He pointed directly at him, point blank. "What are you doing?" he asks, eyebrow raised.
