(GS3) Field: Umano Underground Slums

[Hope]

Neu returned to the slums, dragging a few of its members around on the floor. For some reason, she found a few in New York and took it upon herself to return them here. With a yawn, she walked deep enough in the area and placed them down. It looks like this place had been reversed, and by a few people that she knew no less, which was really kind irritating.

At the same time she was wondering what the others here had been doing all this time and she worried for Tsubaka's safety as well. New York was making quick work of becoming a force that could dispense reverse fighters on their own.

Amon had given up on finding his target. He sat by some nearby rubble, waiting for the next thing that moved to walk past him... his intention was the challenge it to battle.

[Hope]

"Hey Amon." Neu waved.

She sensed reverse energy which she basically can feel super easuly due to her connection to Link Joker. It was funny to her that he had been taken by it too, but she didn't feel like hitting corners and just wanted to be straightforward here.

"Up for a fight?"

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Amon looked up to the voice. "You..." He was surprised to see her appear in a location like this, getting up to his feet, he gave her a vacant expression.

"When I wanted a different target, another one of the sins appears before me... looks like 'Wrath' will have to wait before he falls by my hand. Neu Edelwiess, you shall be my opponent in this hour of darkness!"

[Hope]

Neu lost but she shrugged it off because it was quite the boring game, he won all due to trigger checks rather than actual skills and she got none whatsoever. Ah. He said he didn't use his full power, but she didn't even bother to stride so that's a thing.

Nothing to see here, she walked off, probably teleporting back to New York or something like that.

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Amon had defeated Neu Edelwiess, the sin he referred to as Sloth. Despite the win being devoted purely due to the Devil's Luck, the battle ensured with him as the victor.

Amon used most of his willpower to hold back the void's shadows from turning Neu Edelwiess into a mindless form of the reverse. She requested a rematch, completely ignoring his denials and keep pestering him. Eventually he informed her that their rematch will take place, but not on this day, not until all of the Sins had been defeated.

Neu, with a face of boredom disappeared from his line of sight after walking away.

"I don't know how people understand her.It seems like she doesn't understand how dire this battle is, nor the reason why I spared her from the voids shadows.... With 'his' presence unable to be detected, she may be the only person that can defeat the monster Greed unleashed.... all I have now is time, a limited amount before beast incarnate arises."

With this, Amon sat back down to the ground and waited slowly for "Wrath" to arrive, after all it was only a matter of time before the King collected from his kingdom.

Hikaru made it to his base of operation after leaving the hospital unannounced, he already called Kaori to meet up with him along with his motorcycle and message the same thing to his other generals. He just sat on his throne as he waited. He heard the sound of several engines as he sat on his throne. It seems the Oblivion is in working. He got up from his throne while he's holding onto his stomach and slowly descends towards them. He noticed something odd about, there were only three of them.

"Where's Aoi.." His reverse marks appeared on his as he looks at the three remaining generals. Judging by there reactions to his question, he already knew the answer.

"King..he had been taken out of the picture." Ushio stated. Ushio was shaken on his failure of protecting his comrades. His dark green hair is all over the place. He then brought out a rolled up paper. "Here are the locations of Oshiro's main hideouts that you asked me to look out." Hikaru took it and scrolled through content. Even though they were technically allies, he didn't trust him or particularly like him. The fact he took his rule as king when he was knockout because of heart problems. Turning the hard earned peace he attained for the slums then transforming it into a tyranny. He scrolled up the plans and placed it into his pocket.

"It seems you did some good..Ushio, now you'll plan for the assault when the time comes. For now study that beast's movements and try not to get caught. That brute seems to know if your near enough." Ushio then saluted to the king as his reverse marks appeared happy to serve the king and his rival,

Hikaru then turned to Kaori, her golden locks were falling every where as it was tied with a red bandanna. "Kaori due to the injuries I have sustained I need you to drive for me for the time being. Were going to be off reversing and recruiting fighters for our empire." She nodded with glee, finally she would be getting some action along side the king. its been a long time since she's fought alongside Hikaru.

Turning to the last general as the dark glint had intensified. The red headed general looked back right at the king as his reverse marks appeared. "Now I have a special job for you. I need you to assist Ushio in studying the beasts movement by causing enough havoc in the area and distracting the resistence. While at the same time I want you to track down Aoi." The red headed smirked at the proposition he is being given. "You got it..King."They all went on their motorcycles as Hikaru sat behind Kaori as she got the engine working and head off to reclaim their empire.

[Spectre Diamond]

Kaori driven back to the underground slums along with Hikaru after locating an appropriate base of Operations. He sees someone that he doesn't recognize as the man looked to be guarding the place. He didn't seem to be reversed either. He tells Kaori he'll handle this himself and tells her to continue with the mission as planned. Without further ado she driven off with the Oblivion. He slowly walked to the man.

"So it seems you have been guarding this place when I was gone. Allow me to reward you." He apathetically stated as the void power fields appear with their luminescent red. They placed their starters on the field while going through the basic preparations.

"Stand up, Thy vanguard!

"Stand Up, Vanguard!"
Fei fell to his knees as the reverse started to seep through his heart. His moves were predicatable to say the least. Having played the same clan he knew which ones to lock away. During the fight Fei had mentioned to him about the man named Hazama who fit the description of one of the fighters he reversed. Another thing he told him about. Is the fact that he was sent here by Tsubasa because of the growing threat of the reverse.

"I see.." Hikaru started to walk away has the man is in the process of being reversed. It got him thinking, how many lives did he ruin in this war he's been partaking.

Hikaru thought about all the people he had reversed in his time as a general of the Link Joker army. All the destruction that he caused through them. The reversed slums had reversed half of the world if he were to estimate. While he didn't reverse Oshiro, his actions had led to the events of him being reversed due to reversing the slums. He had became prime minister and ruling with an iron fist while punishing unreversed fighters. Hazama went on a rampage with his sick lust for link Joker. Tomoda had set fire to the hotel and train station all just to locate Aoi. He had never intended to for this to happen. He just wanted to create an empire where no child would have to suffer a life without a family's love. Hikaru then thought back to the day at the shopping center where the reverse fighters and the resistance had gathered to do battle. The destruction they caused it was horrifying.

Their sins are his sins...

Their actions were his doing...

Their fall from grace was because of his blind ambition...all his fault.

Once this is all over...he'll disappear.

[AlwaysAwake]

Alexander trudged his way down to the slums, the influence of link joker pushing him to make his way down there as some manipulation of fate. His eyes resting upon the figure known as Hikaru reverse the one known as Fei, a sinister smile creeping on his face as he caught sight of this event. For the moment he stood silently in hiding as he awaited the transformation to take place, taking note of the moment when Fei woke up.

Instantly he burst into motion, only a mad smile plastered on his visage as he proceeded with the further action. That being, a drop kick on the freshly reversed fighter, knocking out the other npc reverse fighter. Damn, did he like hitting things. Nothing as satisfying as destroying your opponent be it fists, card games, or blatant torture. Yay for sadism.

After knocking out the npc reverse bretheren, he would proceed to check his pockets. Putting back the contents after looking at it, the rather oddly timed happy go lucky psychotic smile turned into manical laughter as he walked off. Damn did reverse do a job on him.

[OverDrive]

There was no time to waste, not only was Fei not replying to his messages anymore but there was also the issue with Haruto. He felt like he was being black mailed by someone but he could not think of any potential suspects.

"..Could it be that my announcement without the voice changer caused my cover to slip?...No no one aside from Neu knew me on tht train...I will save Haruto, my only family won't be lost a second time!" he said as he made his way through the slums, unreversing anyone who laid eyes on him.

After hours of searching he was finally certain where Fei was, and as such went to deal with him he could not help but feel worried about his friend, and at the same time confused on why he would not get back to him.

He appears in front of Fei descending from a nearby building, just staring at his friend put him in an uneasy situation Fei has always been his best friend since childhood having to fight him in this manner was something beyond acceptable.

"...Turn around and face me." he said.
"....-turns around-..I certainly did not expect this..." said Fei.
"..This won't take long I assure you.."
"...That coat..." he thought.

"Stand Up! Vanguard!" x2
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The fight was beyond emotional, Fei would talk about his friend Tsubasa and how he was unsure about what he was doing, all he knew was he was asked to come here for his friend's sake.

"...Sounds like a lucky friend.."
"...I don't know...I'm sure he would be better off if I could help him."
"...........You already are...."
"..huh?"
"...Limit Break! Phanatic Illusion!"

With the fight concluded, Tsubasa carried Fei back to his home, where he met his mom and got all the information he needed regarding Haruto, it would seem that not only did Fei have information about the challenge issued to him by 'H' but he also had another message left within his pocket.

"Can Diablo come out to play? This kid should be a fun place to start haha"

"...I need to go Auntie, please take care of Fei, i'll handle it from here." he said, as he left the house. "First thing is first, time to deal with H."

[Spectre Diamond]

He stopped the oblivion at the middle of the underground slums and placed his helmet onto the bike. Running towards to the one of his bunkers at the slums and reached into one of the carefully placed boxes. The box itself contained his spare nova grappler cards, since he..abandoned his Death Army deck he would need to start over again. But that was ok, with this new strength and this new resolve..he'll take back everything. He roughly spent over 5 minutes working on the deck. Feeling satisfied over his crafty work. He preceeded to leave with his new nova grappler deck and several other cards in case he needed to switch anything out. Hikaru then felt a chill go up his spine as he turned around to meet Ushio and Kaori. His remaining two reversed generals.

"Well, Well looked do we have here." Kaori said in a sing song tone as she looked at Hikaru. The taller one, Ushio just stared at his king. "So you left us to." His eyes were filled with emptiness yet felt betrayed.

"Kaori...Ushio..I didn't leave you. I came back to you." Trying to reason with them, knowing if it may be futile. Knowing what kind of stuff that Link Joker does to them. Having experienced it himself. "Enough talk lets settle this." Kaori then summoned Void powered fields for all three to use.

"Nani? A two on one..."

"Yes this way you'll come back to us faster." Hikaru could only scrowl, he had to save them from this fate. He then grabbed his deck and was about to place his starter like the other two. Until he heard a roar of a motorcycle behind him. The Motorcycle was a cobalt blue and seemed to have a rounder design. Jumping off the motorcycle and standing next to Hikaru. "Miss me?" Damn Aoi always had to be dramatic, never the less he was glad to see him.

"Aoi what are you doing can't you see he left us?" An enraged Kaori is never a good Kaori especially since she's reversed. "No he didn't leave us and I'm going to prove it." Another board appeared in front of the blue haired man as he placed his starter. "Ready King"

"Always." At the same time they all reached for their starters as they initiated their tag fight.

"Stand up, VANGUARD!" All of them shouted in unison.
"Go Planetal Dragon! Holy Charging Lance! The 9th damage had finally landed on the reverse duo as the power of reverse faded from their bodies. They were all out of breath by the time the fight was over. Aoi's new unit had managed to tie the game for the both of them and were able to save the last two generals. Hikaru then went to the both of them. "Can you guys stand." While a bit warn out the two grabbed hold of his hands and lifted themselves up.

"its a good thing I came here on time or else you might of been screwed king." Hikaru then turned to Aoi and gave a soft smile at his direction. "Yeah it was a close one I wouldn't have survived because you. Thanks Aoi." Aoi of course being a goof ball. "Wait what, the king said thanks..is this the apocalypse." Hikaru just looked at him blankly, probably thinking of revoking his thanks. He turned to the other two generals. "I'm glad you to are alright." They gave apogelec glances and nods as they tell Hikaru that they were worried about him. Hikaru then remembered something.

"Hey Aoi where's Tomoda?" Aoi then stopped preaching the end of the world to face his king. "He's...in the Hospital he's recovering from his last fight and is pretty shaken up from the ordeal." Hikaru gave a nod of understanding. Having been in his place not to long ago. "I have a job for you three, you don't have to except this if you don't want to but I want you to take the slums back from the reverse, Tomoda to." He then preceded to leave. Kaori went forward and grabbing his shoulder. "Why aren't you joining us?" He turned and pat her on the head and gave a small soft smile like he gave to Aoi. "Because i'm going to protect everyone's smile by taking the fight to Hawaii. You guys will be one of the last lines of defense for the resistance." He let go and went on the Oblivion as he waved to his comrades and left the slums.

Kaori only stared as she uttered. "Good luck."
