(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[NeoBuster]

Well the camping trip was over and Neo was back at home sweet home. So he decided to take a stroll in the park. While Neo was walking to his favorite bench spot, he noticed Seifer sitting there.

"Hey Seifer" Neo said waving to him while walking toward him

[Cipher Izanagi]

Neo had called his name though Seifer himself almost didn't notice. He waved though as the other male approached, relaxing on the bench. "Hey there Neo." his reply was short and to the point, but there wasn't much to say after greeting someone who had just greeted you.

[NeoBuster]

Neo sat down next to Seifer as he was happy to see his friend.

"How is everything?" Neo asked him

[Helios]

A while passed, but not to long since Hazama appeared after the talk at Umano. He had a bunch of college work to finish and finaaly lifted a lot of stress of his shoulders. He finally got to walk in his favorite relaxation place, Rijuku Park. He found his usual place in the park, but went to the bench across from the hill for a change. He put in his hood over his head and rested on the bench. Then he got to think about the mysterious clan in the world of Vanguard.

[Beryl]

Satoshi was standing out at the park. A week and a few days had passed. Still bearing the mark on his hand in open air, most random people he encountered though it was a cool tattoo or a scar that healed badly. They didn't know it was a brand, a mark for what was to come. Things would be different then, even if he didn't especially want them to be.

He was reflecting on when he first came to the city on his own, naive to the serious part of Vanguard, despite his desire to understand his ability to speak to his own cards as though they were all a happy family together. He thought of meeting Yukino and Haruka, the best of times and worst of times...the others he had met...

How had it all come to this?

In the midst of this, Cheru spoke suddenly in his head. She had dropped using the modifier because her host had accepted her existence, something she, admittedly, didn't expect to happen. "So a few of your friends got tested."

"Tested? You mean to see if they're ready?"

"Yeah. A demonstration of what our movement's going to put forth against them. Looks like they did reasonably well, though our fights are actively wearing most of them out." Satoshi could feel her grin from ear to ear from just her words. "They're just barely there, and they haven't even experienced what it's like to face a general of this movement."

Satoshi rubbed his forehead with his hand. "So when exactly am I handing the reins to you again?" From spending a bit of time with Fortuna when he could, he had learned to resign to fate, because typically there was something more to it.

"Soon. Not yet. The show isn't ready to start just yet. All the players aren't in their positions. Us included."

A sound resonated in Satoshi's head of...a bag of chips opening? Then munching...

"Sorry, haven' eat'n all day." Cheru had manipulated his imagination into giving her a bag of chips that she could eat? Weird entity.

Darren went to the park. Even though it was late he needed to clear his mind. He closed his eyes and gave a small sigh. Neo was strange. What even was that? His demeanor was completely different from when they met. Was he having a bad day? It didn't make much sense at all.

Darren took out his deck, looking it over as a way to ease his mind. He wished he had a way to improve it further. He was coming across people left and right that had a lot more experience than him. It made sense that he couldn't win them all but Noel was the same and she was doing well. The Dimensional Robos are strong, more than that he had a lot of fun using them, but he wondered if he just wasn't able to bring out their full ability.

[Cipher Izanagi]

It was unusually breezy for today, and maybe a little bit cloudy. Odd and foreboding. That didn't really matter to a certain silver haired male as he walked along the path closest to the water's edge, his silver hair flowing behind him almost like a cape as it was down to his waist in length. He had vibrant green eyes that clashed with his dark outfit. It was pretty much a black formal suit, just unbuttoned and with no tie, and he wore a white dress shirt underneath it, untucked and the bottom three buttons were unbuttoned. Both hands were shoved halfway into his pockets as he walked, his eyes straight ahead and almost blank, even with the vibrancy of them. Someone could describe him as really edgy, though he was recognized as somewhat of a semi-pro player of the game Cardfight Vanguard. Ventus Ienis, an enigma of a man who rose to fame from an orphanage, almost like a fairy tale story.

A wind approached... Riding it was a plague of shadows which consumed and destroyed its foes. It was that very same wind brought another force with it, not of destruction, but as resistance to the winds of change that was about to blow across the plains of the Immortal earth, turning it into a living hell composed of despair and destitution.

"The more things changed.... the more they stay the same." a symphony of faint white clouds began to cover the sky, it was like a warning to those in the area to a force that not even nature could understand. "This battle... is only the beginning of a larger scale conquest." The leaves on the tree's began to shiver in the breeze caused by the movement of the clouds.

"I wonder how they have faired so far? Against the Immoral Force...Link Joker."

The Platinum blonde hair brushed across his pale face. His crimson eyes burning with a motive to fight back. The expression he gave was most cynical and cunning. His odyssey had came full circle, His insanity had came tame, but his anger had became a weapon that was also his Achilles heel. He had returned, after disappearing from the face of the world for awhile. Destiny was about to take its form, he did not want to stand idle whilst the world burned.

In his Ebony suit, he stood in the centre of the park.
"Hopefully... I am not too late."

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Within the Park, Darren was already there. He had been looking for a fight and people in the area were all too happy to give it to him. He only had to say one thing to get them worked up. "Are you... strong fighters?" Upon hearing a question like that, most fighters would show rather than tell if they were strong or not. And they did show the answer, they weren't as strong as Darren was, especially now.

One by one they fell, onto the ground and engulfed in the aura that he emitted He closed his eyes as the last fighter in the area that he saw reached their 6th point of damage. He fell as well. "That makes four now..." he muttered to himself as he picked up his deck. Four more saved... The weak need to be rescued, so I am the hero that will protect them, by giving them power...

As he started to walk away, the fighters he defeated all began to slowly stand. They had the same aura as he did. They were the same as him. They would eventually go out and find more fighters as well. Darren himself simply told them, Go and save others, my Dark Heroes!

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

'That aura' was here, the darkness that he had discovered in China from that unusual fighter. It was coherent that the cause was close by. Without warning, four cardfighters approached, he could tell they had become possessed by this dark force. He decided it was best to defeat the cause of the shadow covering there hearts.

Amon's eyes caught a glance of another person leaving, he manoeuvred pass the other four people and approached the phantom stranger possessing the Aura of the Joker.

"So... You are one of cancer's that plague this world with this toxic aura? Tell me your name, so that I can remember the person I defeat and Purge of this unholy essence!" Amon directed his line of speech to the leaving man.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Before Darren could leave, he heard someone calling out to him. He turned around, doing so slowly as he looked at the individual. He scanned the one who addressed him with his eyes, looking up and down to see that he was quite the eccentric fighter. He moved his deck up, the dark crimson aura burning from it as he said, "Darren is name enough. Are you a strong fighter, of do I need to save you as well?"

His blank eyes stared at the individual as he started to walk forward, knowing already that he had been challenged. He didn't enjoy harming people but sometimes people needed to be hurt in order to be protected from their own weakness, from themselves.

[Hope]

"Ikke Meer!"
"Star Rain!"
"Minette!"
"Nociel!"

Four fighters fell at once. She grabbed her decks and jumped over them, placing them back in her purse. Yesterday truly was the last day for R&R. The war has truly begun. "Out of the way!" Another fight began, the whole day has been like this and there was seemingly no end to them in sight. She placed her deck down onto the platform that appeared as if by magic. All of those afflicted were gaining the power of the invaders, supernatural beings that they have fought before, but not in such a large number. Neu Edelweiss used the power, but was not influenced to this extent. The hearts of the fighters were warped and everyone's actions had become twisted.

"Meer's break ride skill!" That was enough to end this one.

Running through the park, she saw a figure that she recognized. "Darobo?" If he was the source of the commotion here then she surely knew what she had to do. Another fighter was already challenging him it seems. It was confrontation that she couldn't stop, so for now she decided to stand by and watch them.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

The damage was 3 to 5. The battle seemed all but assured. So much so that Darren did not guard the powerful strike of Amon. He could have guarded it, but he wanted to understand what power this unit had. His soul seemed to be his power, increasing his strength with each unit entered into it. However, this wasn't true strength. This wasn't the power that could protect the world. That was the power Darren now had, and he was more than willing to share it.

He allowed himself to reach 5 damage. It didn't bother him at all. At the moment of truth, he drew his unit. His beloved Daikaiser was engulfed in the dark aura as a new unit appeared and took his Avatar's power for its own. Dark Dimensional Robo, Reverse Daiyusha! As if it was nothing it brought the demon's power to 0. With 25000 power to its own name it attacked and was guarded. He checked for a Grade 3 to break through and nothing came. It didn't matter though. He still lacked the power to protect himself against the other blows. Just like that, it was over.

Darren turned and said, "This is justice... the hero's duty to protect others. The only justice in this world is strength, and now you have it..." He warned that Darren was unleashing a monster, but it did not matter to him. He was spreading power to others and well as amassing power himself. "...If you do become a threat to this world... I will strike you down again. That is Dark Justice..."

[Hope]

It seems that the other fighter was unable to do much against him, but that confirmed it at the very least. Hana stepped out, fixing her hat as she did and gripping her deck in her hand. It was time for the light show to begin, a spectacular performance that will put the alliance one step closer to their victory.

Reverse Daiyusha...

Upon reaching the sight of her for, she gave a smile and put her free hand on her hip. "Alright Darobo, show me his Dark Justice of yours. I'm pretty sure your old one was much better, but I guess we'll just have to see I guess?" There wasn't much to say here other the fact that she had to simply do her job now as the Princess and there wasn't also much courage in her either, just enough to keep up the brave facade as she had to fight against a fellow club member.

"This is to Daiyusha." She yelled out.

"As you have fallen into enemy hands, therefore by the pact made within the 435th Cray Council, you are now an enemy and will be treated as such until you have returned to our side. This is the justice that you agreed to."  Then she turned to the fighter himself, her fellow club mate.

"Darobo, time to fight."

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

The darkness consumed him, however... something went wrong. Instead of becoming a mindless servant of the void, as others had. He changed in a way unsuspecting, the being born of negative emotion was effected differently by the void's essence.  Instead, his motive for returning strengthened. Despite becoming one of the reverse, he gained a motive far greater than allowing people to become apart of an army.
Originally born from Kurai's depression, the negative emotions consume him as he seeks what he desires, whether it be Vengeance or
other things. He desires...to slay those who have sinned in this world, regardless of their alliance.

A demon beyond control of Man, the creator of "Nothingness", the being that cannot be bound by sides or rulers. His warning to the Phantom stranger was unheeded. He took up a fighting stance.

"Erase the sin's of this world regardless of whom the purpose pursues... that is why I am here. And that is why... you created something that cannot be avoided. I do not serve anyone... you will fall, believer of false justice... I swear it."

The void had not anticipated this, That Amon, the alternate personality, would be shielded by his own negative emotions and not fully become afflicted by the reverse's control. However, despite this, those whom are not reversed and fall to him, would suffer the fate of the others.

He broke his stance as the phantom stranger received a challenge. He watched from the side as the two did battle.
