(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[OverDrive]

The battle ensued between the two rivals and more improatntly, the two friends, each bound by the pain they shared as they attempt to break past it with their units and their Vanguard. The game went on different levels for both players Tsubasa had to deal with a breakride of Vowing Saber Reverse as it descended onto the field wiping everything in it's tracks, that included most of Tsubasa's field. Tsubasa went straight to Zenith, trying to show Neo that with the bonds of your friends you can grow stronger, even though he struggled with the concept he knew that it was there just as he brought it out with Zenith and with Ezel.

Neo continued to deny Tsubasa's claims of friendship, saying that no one understood his pain, no one was able to fully graps what he had to go through as a child, and even growing up. Tsubasa understood him perfectly though in different circumstances, the same concept was there they had both lost their parents in some form, but Tsubasa conveyed to him what the situation was like.

"..Your parents may have left you without a reason but believe, sometimes the reason could cause you an insane amount of pain even more pain than that of losing them...I know that full well..it's haunted me for so long." he said, tears beginning to appear from his eyes.

Neo opposed his opinion and called his Final Turn, signalling Vowing Reverse to empty Tsubasa's field and power up his own units, as he attacked mercilessly and head on, thunder and lightning howled in the skies above but Tsubasa was sure that this strength was nothing compared to the first time they fought...it was a far cry from what Neo was capable of without that power.

"...Now I understand...I've been to unaware how much pain you've been going through...but now I am ready for it...I'll take on all your pain my friend! No Gaurd!!" he shouted as the dragon lunged at him to deal him the final damage point.

As Tsubasa's blue aura intensified, he revealed the top card of his deck, "...I will take all of your pain...because that is what a friend is about!" he said, as the heal trigger shined in the damage zone, keeping him in the game.

As Neo charged again, Tsubasa opted to show him how much he is will to take, "...I told you...you won't get stronger with that power...and if it's the pain that's hurting you...then give it all to me!" he said, as the second attack hit him, but this time as well, with his aura alongside him the young man revealed the last heal trigger in his deck and stared at Neo.

"..Time for you to see what these bonds we share can really do! Final Turn! Draw!...I knew you would come...Stand up My Avatar! Call! Blaster Blade Liberator!" he shouted his Liberators charged at Vowing Reverse, breaking his guard with a Critical Trigger and ending the game.

After a short moment Neo collapsed apologizing to his friend, and with that Tsubasa carried him and headed towards the exit of the park, intending to take Neo to a Hospital.

The showdown was under way. The best of friends, the best of cardfighters as Neo and Tsubasa faced off in an epic clash. Neo was still clouded with the fact Tsubasa was his enemy and not his friend. Neo was going to do anything to defeat him.

"Dragon of Chaos, Destroy all in your path! CrossBreakRide! Vowing Saber Reverse!" Neo said as his reverse power grew stronger.

With Saber Reverse's Limit Break, Neo was able to retire Tsubasa's Gold Paladin units one by one.. But Tsubasa never gave up. Calling upon his avatar Blaster Blade countless times to retire Neo's front line. Just then, when it seemed to be all over...

"Final Turn!" Neo screamed

It looked like Tsubasa had no chance to survive. Saber Reverse was going to win, but then it happened.. The ultimate miracle.. With Tsubasa pulling a double heal trigger to survive. Neo couldnt believe it, and at that moment he knew the power was false..

"It cant be.. But this power was supposed to be unstoppable.." He said

But with Tsubasa's Gancelot delivering the finishing blow, Saber Reverse had lost.. Just then Neo saw it.

He saw all of his friends standing by his side. He saw that he was never truely alone, He always had all of the people he met by him. What was anger and hatred turned into tears of joy as Neo became unreversed.

"Tsubasa" Neo said

Just as Neo became unreversed he passed out as Saber Reverse disappeared.

"Im.... Sorry.." He muttered

"Ladies and Gentleman!" Tomoda stood on one of the park tables as he gets into his entertainer persona. He wore a white mask and an orange top hat in order to carry out this charade. Tomoda saw the crowd form as he announced his game, all according to plan. He jumps off the table and lay down his tarot cards and shuffled them professionally.

"Lets start the show shall we." He then pointed to one of the members of the audience and motioned her to come over. Tomoda threw three cards on the table. She then looked at the cards in confusion, trying to decipher on what they could mean. The first card had the tower tarot, the second had a fire motif and the third, king. "Umm..what do I do now?" The young woman looked at Tomoda in curiosity. He gave a dark chuckle.

"Its quite simple..just stand still and watch them burn." After saying that the cards began to alight themselves and the young woman began to scream while the audience looked a bit terrified. "Oh don't be scarred...the fun has just begun." He stated with a small smirk has he reached into his pocket brought at a picture of his fellow general Aoi. "Listen here ladies and gentlemen. Every hour that passes and this man is not found, I will cause damage to our lovely town...serious damage."

Tomoda turned to the camera man that he ask to take the footage and waved. He then threw smoke pellets on the ground as a smoke screen appeared. He laughed manically as he escaped.

When Hazama was walking down the shopping district, everyone was ordered to evacuate the area sense everything was basically destroyed. When he reversed some people, he let them reverse whoever they wanted to, but he kept a fighter to find someone in particular. Once they reached the park, Hazama lied down on the hill and told one of the guys he reversed to go find a guy named Tsubasa Hayato. "I would check all around and ask people if they know who we are talking about,"he described to his reversed fighter. He kept describing Baky's apperance and then he sent him off to look for him.

Once he was gone, he lied down on the grass on his usual hill and watched the clouds change shape and go by.

(Sorry, wrong park)

Hideki

"The Shadows are nice..."

With slow light steps Hideki walked into the park, a book firmly placed between his arm and his side. Why had he come out here again? He couldn't really remember to well, there wasn't anyone to meet here and he wasn't planning on going anywhere today. Maybe he would would just wait around here for now. He slid his hand into his pocket to check and see that he grabbed both decks, he couldn't be so sure that he would be the one on the surface when it came to playing after all. When his hand found both he nodded lightly to himself and walked over to a near by bench, seating himself and slowly takeing the book up with his left hand. 'Time to read and relax... See where this day takes us.' He thought to himself as he started to read.

"... Because here i can hide."

[OverDrive]

This place did mean a lot for Tsubasa, he had been through so much in this one zone, that it keeps coming back to haunt him in his endeavors, this time however was different this person was somebody who had a very on and off relationship with Tsubasa, they starte off as friends but gradually began to ave issues with one another becuase of their own beliefs and issues. The question here was how does Tsubasa face him, does he even have to...

"...Tell me what I must do...which side of me should try and handle him...." he thought, as he stared at Diablo's mask. "...Haruto is waiting for me, I can't keep this going...Diablo..I need your strength for tonight."

-Puts on the mask and zips the coat-

"...Let's end this..." he said, as he leapt into the park area, sending a shockwave of wind around him.

He looked around and stared at the one person at the park at that point, Hazama Von Einsburn. The Reverse marks were already clear on his face, and by his aura, so his reason for confronting him as Diablo was already handled.

"..I suggest you stand up." he said, his voice changer still giving off his menacing voice.

[Helios]

As Hazama was watching the clouds peacefully while the slight breeze was passing by his face, he was snapped back to reality by a harsh voice coming out of no where. He rubbed his eyes taking away the blur that they placed on his vision. He tilted his head up to see a guy in a black coat with some sort of mask hiding his identity. In all honesty, he wasn't really bothered by it because of the crazy people in this world,

Is he another cosplayer or what? he thought to himself. He heard his request about suggesting him to stand up.

But why should I? he asked. "I mean, I got here first, so this spot is taken. And they way you approach me with that mask and stuff along with your tone was quite rude if I do say so myself."

[OverDrive]

The stuck up attitude that this person had truly annoyed Diablo, or did it annoy Tsubasa? In either case he mainly wanted to deal with him and set things straight, one of the reasons he did not want him to gain Link Joker, is that it would ruin his life, unfortunately as his friend he feels obliged to do something...no matter what it might be.

With a slow movement he walks up to the young man, "If you want to make this difficult then that's fine by me.." he said, as he grabbed Hazama by the collar and lifted him up the ground with one hand. "..There is no rudeness here today,I'm here to get rid of the power you have within you, if I leave that poison within you let's just say you won't be satisfied with the result." he said, tossing him away from him but in a way to make him land on his feet, which he did.

"..We can do this in several ways, I can either force you to leave the deck or you can actually fight for it." he said, as he placed his hand on his deck boxes. "What's it gonna be?"

[Helios]

After Hazama's comment to this stranger, it looks like he ticked him off in some way. The next thing that happened was being grabbed by the collar and dragged up to his feet. He looked at him straightly in the eye as he said what he wanted to say. After he let go of him he stood there and laughed at what he just said.

"Hahahaha," he laughed. Then he turned serious. "There is one thing you are missing. This 'poison' you are talking about is a complete misconception. As you see, Link Joker are my friends and family. They are the one that truly understand me, and I understand them. And don't you say I am blindsided by them because I'm not. I'm looking into reality and they are always there for me. They are the best things, no friends, that happened to me in my entire lifetime." He took out his deck and held it to his chest. He clenched it harder, showing compassion and protection to his family.

"You wouldn't understand."

[OverDrive]

The way Hazama was handling himself seemed very intriguing to Diablo, it seemed like he has not changed at all, he always wants to be alone because he still thinks that he can't trust or rely on anyone. As expected of Link Joker and their twisted control methods.

"..All I see is a child who refuses to trust others for no clear reason, they don't understand you they're using you for their own ambition, if that's not blindsided then I don't know what is..that's enough talk, if you really think this clan is your family then prove it to me here and now." he said, pointing his deck to Hazama.

[Helios]

"Are you strong?" was all he asked.

[OverDrive]

The fight between the two ensued with both sides utilizing their deck's aspects to the fullest Hazama was surprisingly very potent with Link Joker, utilizing their lock tactic to it's maximum potential. It somewhat reminded him of that fighter that unleashed the scythed Link Joker Unit...

Diablo's other persona attempted to try to explain to Hazama about his mistakes, he tried to show him that a relationship of any kind requires both sides to be willing to give and receive.

"..Link Joker toys with your heart, using your deepest desires to manipulate you...clearly you want to have friends and family but you're too stubborn to see that it's not their fault that things are not working out...it's your fault, isolating yourself won't open the opportunity to have friends. he said, as he raised his card and Crossbroke rode to Dragruler Phantom.

"..I assume you're trying to be a hero, heh typical." said Hazama.

"..I don't want to be a hero..I am..Diablo Falcon..a friend to whoever needs me." he said, as he unleashed his Limit Break for the final time and was able to deal 2 dmg, making Hazama's heals useless.

As Hazama screamed in pain, Diablo went over to him, picking him up on his shoulder and taking him to the hospital at Max speed.
