(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[OverDrive]

"-gasp-......"

This time Neu hit Tsubasa with a revelation, she showed him he was holding himself back he was too focused on improving because of his comrades, but he did not give them his strength.

"Would've been better if ezel powered up his allies instead..."

Tsubasa lowers his head in disbelief, "Now I get it...". Tsubasa looks back at Neu and replies, "I understand..I will change my ways...My Vanguard...is to give my strength to my comrades, so that we can achieve what we desire." he said, with his determined look restored within his eyes.

"I will give them all I have." he said.

[Hope]

Neu looked at him, continuing the air of intimidation. After a few seconds of silence she let her shoulders relax and had a deep sigh. She closed her eyes for a moment and ran her finger through her hair. She looked back at him, her expression now the complete opposite. She was smiling.

"Right, right, man took forever for you to figure that out." She let out another sigh, a sigh of relief. "Those games were fun, they really were haha. You should've seen the look on your face!"

She walked around the table and stood in front of Tsubasa. She then flicked his forehead with her pinkie.
"Alright then, our pact is done. The power that you gave me has now been returned to you. Like an investment and all."

[OverDrive]

The pinkie move reminded Tsubasa of when he first promised Neu he would have fun with the game of Vanguard. Back then it felt strange but now it felt like something had just come back to him, at that moment his cards began to glow.

"...Thank you Neu, you've helped me become better...maybe one day I can do the same for you." he said, as he began leaving the park.

"...Thank you both." he said.

The glow of his cards was still ongoing, pushing him towards his second cardfight but for now he heads home to get some rest, now that his new strength has been found.

"...We will achieve our goals together, Gold Paladins." he thought.

[Azuki Frappé]

Ighanna arrives at the dim park, walking around with no real intentions. She then sat down on a green, cold metal bench and recalled all the experiences she faced ever since receiving Metatron. The crimson angel which gave her power and hope. Ighanna was worried as ever since the incident at the Construction Site, Metatron has not responded to her yet nor does she know why it happened.

"Metatron..." She said sorrowly as she tucked her card away into her bag.

[Grimm]

Noah spent the morning roaming around the park once more, he brought bread to feed the ducks at the pond, and a bottle of iced green tea for himself. After wandering for quite a while, he noticed a girl who was clearly troubled sitting on a park bench. Even though, something was clearly plaguing her mind, the bench was near the pond, so Noah went up to her and asked.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

[Cipher Izanagi]

After what seemed like an eternity of wandering and getting lost, Seifer somehow finally made his way to something he at least recognized as a type of park. Taking this chance he decided to explore, since the paths were more laid out than in a town, and the only thing that could block his view of the surrounding area were probably trees. "It's kinda pretty here... Doesn't seem overly lively though." he spoke quietly to himself, walking along the set path with his hands in the pockets of his pants, his head turning this way and that as he observed the peaceful scenery.

[Hope]

At the end of the walk, they sat down on the park. Pr<3ism was able to run around and go about her business for a bit then Hana played fetch with her. They sat down together at lunch. Eventually Pr<3ism lay on Hana's lap as she turned on her CrayStation Vita to play her new game, Purse Owner 4. Not to mistaken from the game that she had finished months ago, Purse Owner 3.

[Cipher Izanagi]

After a while of walking, Seifer decided to finally sit down on a bench and rest. Using this time he decided to just people watch, noticing the several different types of people in the area, most notably what seemed to be the only person with a dog in the park. Seemed kind of odd to him there'd only be one person with a dog in a park but whatever. In any case the male soon took off his glasses to clean the lens. Somehow they'd gotten kind of dirty since he'd come to this town.

[OverDrive]

Having arrived with his two friends at the park, Tsubasa takes a moment to look back on his experiences in this place.

"...A lot sure has happened here between me, Haruki and Neo." he thought. "Today I hope that we three get to enjoy ourselves like we did at the amusement park, tomorrow is going to be a an important day."

Before they can go too deeply in the park, the three notice a young girl seated on a bench with her dog on her lap.

"....That girl....wait that's -flashback to first loss in Card Capital- that's Hana...I need to say hi." he said, gesturing his friends to follow him.

"Hey Hana, it's good to see you again." he said, with a smile.

[Hope]

"Hi.."

Right, its been a month or so since Card Capital and the whole action the sealed clans has been taken. Of course, at that time one month ago, Hana was still her same happy-go-lucky self. Well its kind of sad to think of where that has gone and how the passing time has changed her. Is it for the worse or for the better? Either way, she isn't the same Hana that Tsubasa met all those weeks ago. She looked up at him and did notice that his Vanguard held the potential to be selected for the War of Liberation, and that caught her interest.

"How have you been?" She asked petting her dog.

[Kuro]

The three fighters exited from the forest and arrived at Rijuku Park. Haruki noticed the girl from the forest and Seifer from the card shop tour in the area. His friend Tsubasa immediately went towards the girl, and Haruki came with him in hopes of getting to know this person more than just a familiar individual. Her name was Hana from how Tsubasa greeted her. He smiled and stood beside his friend as he talked with the girl.

[OverDrive]

Something seemed different about Hana, the last time they met she was more cheerful or happy, but right now she seemed....lonely. That look was always the same in Tsubasa's eyes he understood what loneliness can do to a person.

"..A lot has happened for me I would say, in the end i'm glad at how things are leading up for everyone." he said, with a smile.

Tsubasa takes out his deck and glances at it's faint glow for a bit

"How about you? I have not seen you since that time we had a cardfight at Card Capital, how are things going with you?" he asked.

[NeoBuster]

Neo, Haruki and Tsubasa made there way to the park. Neo then noticed Hana and Seifer there as well. Neo waved to Seifer and Hana.

"Hey Hana" Neo said

"Glad you havent gotten lost yet" Neo said to Seifer

[Hope]

She kept the answer to that question in the back of her head.

"Nothing.." She shrugged and stood up, placing Pr<3ism onto the bench

She caught a glimpse of his deck glowing and acknowledged the hidden potential which it held. Now then just to speed up the War of Liberation's long process, she would have to get him to unleash the deck's potential. She reached for her back and took out her Vanguard deck and pointed to a nearby table.

"Let's go." She gestured him to come along for a fight.

[Cipher Izanagi]

After fully cleaning his glasses, Seifer noticed the gathering group, two of which he recognized. When Neo waved, he waved back before shrugging to himself and standing walking over to join the party. "Well after finally getting adjusted to how every looked it made traveling easier." he spoke to Neo before glancing at Haruki, his deck, and now the fight challenger. He'd watch since well, it'd be his first cardfight seen since he got here.
