(GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area

[RosaliaIzanami]

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.

[Cherry]

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."

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

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.

[Cherry]

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."

[Cipher Izanagi]

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."

[RosaliaIzanami]

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.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

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.

[OverDrive]

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.

[Cipher Izanagi]

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.

[RosaliaIzanami]

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...

[Cipher Izanagi]

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.

[Cherry]

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

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

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

[RosaliaIzanami]

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..."

[Cipher Izanagi]

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.
