(GS3) Field: Cardfight Training Area

[RosaliaIzanami]

Sighing softly to herself in relief, Rosalia entered the facility again with a brunette by her side. Between now and the park, the male had woken up enough to walk on his own, but they (thankfully) didn't come across any Reverse Fighters. Perhaps they just got lucky, or the fighters were gathering at the school where Noel is supposedly claiming dominion. Haruka had gone off somewhere, and she wondered now what Satoshi would be doing. Satoshi seemed to be reversed... but he's not crazy and mindless like the others... He seemed more like Seifer, sort of... The thought made the redhead turn to her companion. He hadn't said a word during their walk, but she did entwine their fingers as they ventured further into the facility to find the others.

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer kept his fingers lightly entwined with the red head's, though let her lead the way. His eyes were both bloodshot, half shut and directed at the ground. He felt sick, mostly just from crying to much. There wasn't much he could do right now. He was actually starting to feel like he was to weak to do anything for anyone now. The news he got... His burden to carry. It was crushing and...

"...'re...ght. Acce...y...wer." the voice again. All these voices he was hearing needed to go away, especially if they weren't going to be remotely coherent. His mind right now was trying to focus on how he'd be able to face Yukino after this. He couldn't tell her, but she deserved so much closure... and he couldn't.

[Beryl]

"Rosalia, wait!"

Satoshi had followed her and Seifer back. Something inside of him ached, and he felt like he needed answers to it. His hand was burning something fierce now.

Twisted as he was, a need to confess had started to build. It was as though his interactions with Noel had started to unravel the hold Nebula Lord and Cheru had on his emotions. If this was the base of operations he had followed them back to, then maybe...maybe there was a chance to find the Seed and fix everything. Even if he didn't know what would happen if he, still in possession of this power, encountered the Seed itself.

But he had to see. This was his only chance. "Please...take me to them...I need to see the Espoirs..." Pain etched itself in his voice. The Lock on his heart, realizing these people's despair was unaffected by Reverse, was starting to crack, more and more.

Seeing Hana walk out was more than Darren could take, he followed her, seeing what she did to herself. Darren looked with wide eyes as Hana basically changed right in front of him. Now even Hana was Reversed? He never would have expected things would come to this. Still, if he was going to do anything to help this cause, this was a start.

You never have beaten her before. Literally, you never win against her.

"First time for everything," Darren replied out loud. He held up his deck and said, "Bad body or not, the least I can do is repay what you did for me before. I'll get that power out of you!"

He still wasn't sure how it got IN her to begin with but he was prepared to fight all the same. It was the least he could do for her, even if she probably didn't see him as much of a challenge, he had to do something. He was basically shouting at air at this point but it didn't change the fact that he meant his words.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia glanced over her shoulder, tilting her head, seeing Satoshi had followed them back to the Training Area. Was that a safe thing to do, given that he was Reversed in a way?... He seemed to be in control of himself though... at least for now, as the redhead remembered how quickly Seifer had gone from in control to twelve rails over on the crazy train. "Ah.. I know Yugure is being taken care of for injuries... but where that is, or where Hana is, I'm not sure... Your best bet would be to-" she cut off as she heard Darren from a room somewhere nearby. Something seemed to be going wrong, like usual... "I would suggest heading that way.. Listen for Darren yelling and you'll probably find someone. If not, Darren would know where Yugure was taken to for treatment."

She then turned to Seifer. Having reached the facility, Rosalia offered the brunette his Kagero deck back, smiling softly if to comfort him more so than herself. "I kept them safe... I didn't hear much from Dragonic Overlord though, but I guess that's a good thing..." She yawned after that, stumbling slightly as a sudden wave of exhaustion came over her. She had gone through a lot throughout the day. She didn't even remember how it all started after seeing the invading powers at what she guessed was their extremes. "G-guess I reached my limits for the day?..."

[Beryl]

Darren. Right. Dimensional Robo kid. Satoshi definitely remembered and nodded his thanks, grateful for the information.

He dashed off in the direction of the noise to find Darren facing down...Hana?!

The Vanguard of Cray herself had gotten Reversed?!

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer accepted the Kagero deck back, clipping it to his waist before catching the female as she stumbled, holding her gently. In his half dead state, he didn't really seem like he noticed Satoshi. "Thank you." it was dull and hollow, but he was still reeling. However, he still very gently and lovingly kissed her, setting his forehead against Rosalia's for a moment. He had her, and Yukino lost her's. It didn't seem fair but.. He couldn't do without her. He was eventually doing to have to get out of this rut and man up for for now. "Go on to bed. I'm sure there's some beds here somewhere. There's a staff room and such so... Just be careful... I'm going to need some time to think so I'll still be awake. ...I love you. And I'm glad you came after me."

[Cherry]

Yugure stood up from her chair, pushing aside the medics. They weren't even remotely done, but she wanted reports about what was going on with Cray. Alfred said they figured something out, so what was it? And what were the results of the Luquier Reverse tests?

...

"Are you okay?" A researcher asked.

"Get back to work." The soldier coldly ordered. Clearly, she wasn't in a talking mood, nor an open one. The numbness in arms were fading and she had been bandaged up. Despite protesting the woman stay down and rest, Yugure had work to do. A war room meeting for everyone wasn't happening today, clearly. So the queen simply left from this room, out into the hallways.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren could only sigh as he saw another friend leave with that power. He had been freed of it only to be surrounded by it all around him. It was disheartening to say the least. He figured the best thing he could do from here is go to Yugure and probably tell her what just happened. That probably wouldn't be something pleasant.

She did it to herself.

No one deserves that. Why would you...

No, literally, she did it to herself. She was speaking to her units about what she had to do. It was to better understand what the power is and what it does.

But... to go that far?

Its war now... Sacrifices have to be made sometimes. Maybe she strongly believes that someone can snap her out of it.

Then I'll just be that someone if I have to be...

Lost in thought and with his eyes closed, he ended up bumping into Satoshi, falling back as he looked and said, "Oh, I didn't see you there. Sorry about that. Too much on my mind.

[Hope]

Hana went up the building. Well, it was strange for her at first. It was more like, "Oh, I forgot something, I better go ahead and fetch it." She wasn't able to manipulate light, rather darkness now and see things as they were touched by shadows and lay within places that lacked light. Night time was the ideal time for her then. She forced the reverse energy to surround her and her eyes enabled her to be coated into a blob of darkness. She transported herself up, moving along the ground then up the building as a shadow, eventually seeping through the glass and into the 12th floor or so of the Cardfight Training Area where the scientists and all their equipment were.

"I'm going to need one of the modified bracelets.Right the one that takes in released energy." She asked them.

They immediately handed it to her, and she almost broke herself trying to resist a desire to transfer the power into them. "Not... here." She groaned a little and hopped through the window, turning into a shadow herself and landing back down safely onto the ground as the darkness coated her and kept her safe.

She looked at her body to see if everything was fine. Now she was ready to walk off. As she did, an insatiable desire to fight came over her.

Manager-san is going to kill me...

No choice but to answer it. Though, she did find her eye's reactions to reverse to be quite interesting. It would further increase the research as she could now see within what were once her blind spots. Yes... correct that was fact now. The power of her eyes had changed.

These eyes can see darkness clearly.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia returned the kiss, smiling even while falling asleep on her feet. "I love you too... and I made you a promise.. I'd always come for you... You're the one who should be careful though..." She gave the brunette an extra kiss to the cheek, then walked off. There were the weird.. scientist people around, so she asked one of them about sleeping arrangements, and was given a room with some other beds in it. Guess it made sense to share a room when there was so many people around in the facility. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out like a light. So what if she didn't know what was happening to Hana and the others? Would you rather her pass out on the floor with a crazy Reversed person or what? At least she wasn't asked again for her Luquier Reverse card, though fell asleep while holding her deck in both hands just in case.

Satoshi   AF +1

[Beryl]

Satoshi shook his head. "S'fine, I just..."

Taking in the situation with a bit more of a normal mindset was very striking. Things were going very wrong very quickly. The invasion, as far as he knew, was not supposed to go as deep as to outright crumble the very being of Cray's Vanguard. Or...maybe it was. It was hard to think about it because every time he did, the rings were trying to force him back in line. He held his head, trying to keep himself stable.

"Ugh...is Yugure around, do you know?..."

[Cipher Izanagi]

After saying good night to Rosalia, the male wandered the hallways almost like a zombie, his head down. He caused a lot of problems when he went insane, so it didn't help he didn't feel very safe right now here. And he had no idea what happened with Hana yet. So when he finds out the news might break him even more. In any case he continued to wander the hallways, losing himself in his own thoughts. He even passed by Yugure without noticing. He really was just like a zombie. Thankfully though there was no longer a marking on his face. The Reverse had completely left his being.

"S..p out...t." Why wouldn't the voices just leave him alone right now?

[Cherry]

Yugure first grabbed Seifer by the arm before he could get away.

"Tell me what happened to you, what you know, and where you went."

Yunos was sort of happy to hear this tranquil fury.

[Cipher Izanagi]

And there it was. Crap. Seifer couldn't go anywhere and yet... Mordred actually showed back up at his side, in spirit form mind you. "Yugure... I..."

Seifer held up his hand for Mordred to stop, to which he did. Seifer didn't look at Yugure, just up at the ceiling. He didn't try to squirm away at all. "...I'm not... Really sure where to begin..." could he even tell her? ...It'd be easier to share the burden with two people. And he trusted Yugure almost as much as he did Rosalia. But could he do this?

"Yugure... Seifer's be-" "Quiet Mordred." Seifer snapped at the elfen Knight, which might even raise an eyebrow to Yugure and possibly Yunos. Actually the fact that Mordred was there at all might cause something. "There are only flashes. Little bits and pieces coming together in my mind. I remember losing control here in the lobby..." he finally turned his head toward Yugure so that she could see his face. His eyes were still bloodshot, and the marking... That was gone. No trace of it anywhere. "S...Haruka told me to go to the park. He had something he wanted to discuss with me. Being in the state I was... I did." he glanced down for a moment mulling over his next words. Mordred stayed quiet this time. "I don't remember much of it... I remember being told..." his eyes dropped a bit toward the ground, and he found himself placing a comforting hand on Yugure's that still held his arm. How was he going to say this? "No one is supposed to know. Not even you. But because I can barely handle this alone, and you knew him better than I did... Haruka..." he started to choke up.

"He told me something that broke me free of my Reverse... ...First... That being... Wasn't Haruka... It was Sera. Apparently the cause of the Reverse here... He intends to implant himself in Cray... Like a Seed of sorts...." Seifer broke off again, removing his hand from her's. "...When Sera mentioned a hospital... That was true... But Haruka... Haruka passed away in there... I..." there was something else he was told, a proverbial phoenix down. "I don't know how... But there is a slim hope he can come back... I'm just... ....This will be how I repay you." Seifer ended his statement there, waiting for... Some kind of a reaction. Even if it was just hitting him.
