(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia listened quietly at first, keeping still when she felt a hand on her shoulder. However, she did look up again when Satoshi had mentioned Noel... I-it's my fault she's Reversed... And look at what has happened... Glancing again to Seifer, she knew they would have to get to Noel soon and unreverse her. For now though... at least they had a location. "Thank you, Satoshi.. We'll definitely take care of her.. But, I'm going to get Seifer back to the others first..." With that, she gently moved the male's hand from her shoulder, standing up and pulling Seifer to his feet. He was still mostly out of it, but seemed awake enough to stand. Just in case, she pulled his arm around her shoulders, her other arm around the male's waist so that she could support most of his weight. "I guess.. be careful, Satoshi.." Rosalia said before moving slowly out of the park.

The scene was a bit different to the silver haired male. It was cloudy and dark, and a sense of foreboding. Yet that mattered very little as he smote yet another fighter, bringing them to the side of Reverse. The markings down his face were thin, just going straight down. The silver hair flowed behind him in what soft wind there was, and his head turned in the direction of the school. "...The army's growing bigger. ...Yet, I cannot find my General. ...I'm not looking hard enough."

[OverDrive]

The sky's foreboding colour signalled the appearance of something sinister or a calling to a dangerous event, the fighters in the park had been going from reversed to non-reverse in seconds, as Tsubasa and someone unknown were following their seperate paths within the park. Tsubasa spent most of the time un-reversing civilians at the park as he slowly got closer to the person who was causing the loop, until he finally spotted one person he had not fought, reversing a civilian, his silver hair a sign of the storm ahead.

As the silver haired fighter walked away from the civilian he turned around only to see Tsubasa, unreversing that fighter on the spot, it was rather quick but at this point all what Tsubasa wanted was to unreverse certain areas and to prove to himself that he is ready for this threat, "..That's the last of them, this park is on the verge of being liberated and if you're the one standing in it's way then I will stop you here and now." he said, raising his deck.

[Cipher Izanagi]

"Oh?" Ventus stared at the male for a few moments, a soft, but menacing smile spread over his face for a split second before fading away. "So you're one of General Seifer's friends are you?" Amusing. He found someone worthy of his time. "Where is he by the way? I can't find him anywhere... And I need to report to my General. ...How's your brother by the way? How's... What's her name... Neu? Oh how it would be a wonderful feeling..." his eyes grew wide, the reverse marks growing in contrast to his pale skin. "To make them puppets for my General!"

[OverDrive]

A look of disbelief appeared at first on Tsubasa's face, he could not believe that some reverse fighters were actually watching him and getting info on those closest to him...in fact it terrified him that they were the targets rather than himself, but the surprise was the mention of Seifer.

"...Just who is this guy..." he thought, as his expression changed from surprised to enraged.

His initial thought was that Seifer's reverse was acting up or laying a part in this mess, as this guy seemed to refer to him as a general, though the problem here was that he was reversed and Seifer was already dealt with by Yukino, nevertheless Tsubasa's aura began to rile up as the wind around the two fighters blew in a frenzy.

"..I won't allow you to lay a finger on them..<..this time I can't be hindered, not after this threat...>...your path ends here!" he exclaimed.

[Cipher Izanagi]

At the challenge, the wind picked up, causing waves to bubble and twist on the nearby. "Show me if you really have the strength... To save your pathetic friends!"

[OverDrive]

The wind blew and the storm crackled the sky as the fighters rode into their most powerful units, the mysterious man called forth the evil incarnation of Maelstrom, Reverse, while Tsubasa called forth the warrior who signified his connection to his bonds, Gancelot Zenith. The two clashed intensely sending gusts of wind all over the area around them.

The threats that the mysterious man made definitely got to Tsubasa the last thing he wanted for his loved ones to be the target in order to get to him or for his own weakness to allow him to harm them, so he pushed back with all over his strength, relying on Zenith and the Liberators to win the game, by breaking a 1 to pass guard.

"...-pant- ...-pant-...I told you I won't let it happen..." he said, as the mysterious man, collapsed along with the reverse energy escaping his body.

"...Looks like i'll have to talk to Seifer about this..." he said, as he began to walk away, as he passed by a tree.

"...If not for that trigger...I would have lost...I would not have been able to break through and the power of maelstrom would have done too much...why...somebody tell me why don't  I have the strength!" he said, punching the tree with all of his might, causing the tree to somewhat crack and practically tilt over slightly.

"..There it is again...no...I won't let things continue like this...no matter what happens..I can't let my loved ones be in danger.." he said, as he left the park. While at the same time sending a message to Fei.

Khudus was hunting down the park taking out reversed fighters while hunting for Noel but was having no luck. He was getting frustrated a bit but was also getting little worried. But not about Noel. He knew no matter what even if he didn't stop her someone else would. What had him worried was fact his deck wasn't as fierce as before. He was close to losing few times. He took a seat in a quiet area and looked over all the cards. Ethics, Beast Deities whats wrong? Are you not up for the fight? He got nothing in a response. He decided to continue to get rid of reversed fighters while hunting for Noel and the reason behind the reverse.

Hazama walks through the park and all he could think about were the events that happened last night at the training area. "That bastard.  Who does she think she is? Blaster Dark obviously. What a child. She needs that powerful sword to ward of reversed fighters, pathetic," he said aloud to himself.

Today he wore his jacket to hide the mark given to him when signing up with the aliens. He didn't want the events of yesterday to happen again today in broad daylight. He lays down on his hill in the park and dozed off.

[NeoBuster]

The place where it all started. And its the place where this showdown will happen.

Neo walked into the park still reversed. While the war continued at the district, Neo decided to battle Tsubasa here and now so he sent him a text.

Its Me. Its about time we settle things. Im at the park and will be here waiting.

[OverDrive]

Tsubasa ran through the areas like a madman, racing through the night almost like a falcon gliding from area to area, all the while flashbacks happening to him, those of his friend, a person he had met a long while back and connected to before anyone else, Neo Isamu.

Tears began to appear on his eyes as he ran as the images of their encounters rampage through his mind and vision. All he could want at this point was to save his friend, it pained him just knowing that he was under the control of the invaders.

Regaining his look and composure to form a serious gaze, Tsubasa entered the park as he walked towards the person who was standing in the middle of it all near the same bench they met each other at the first time, his back facing Tsubasa.

"Hello Neo..." he said.

[NeoBuster]

"Tsubasa..." Neo said with the wind blowing through the park

"I bet your wondering why I called you here?" Neo asked him

"... Its because your the first friend I made since coming here, we have been through alot and we each have had our struggles. Yeah Ive been reversed ever since that day in PSY Shop. Ive reversed countless fighters who wanted to get in my way and it led to them reversing even more fighters. I know it was a horrible thing to do. I will live with regret for the rest of my life knowing I hurt so many people. But you, your the one person I want to beat the most." Neo said

"You see, The Reverse was never controlling me. I did all of those actions on my own terms and I didnt care who I hurt because I want people to feel how I feel. I felt hurt, betrayed and weak! But ever since I was reversed in PSY Shop that day, I have felt the best i have ever felt. With this power, I feel I can do anything. Including beating you in one final cardfight!" Neo said with anger clenching his fist.

[Helios]

Hazama awoke from his nap clearly tired from yesterday. He got up from the grass and started to walk around the park seeing if anyone was still here. He walked for about three minutes until he saw a person he knew and a person he had never seen before. Now his senses are coming in tact. As ususal, they got stronger with each step closer to the two. But he decided that it would he best to watch from afar to avoid any possible events of last night.

"Well, well, well," he thought as he climed a tree to get a better view. "Look who we have here. Neo, it sure has been a while. As for who the other of you is, I dont seem to recognize you. "

[OverDrive]

Just seeing Neo again in this situation eased him slightly, iit was like a call-back to the day they first met each other about a year ago. The same bench, the same setting, except the atmosphere was extremely different. Neo's words took him by surprise, he had no idea all this time he thought that the reverse was controlling him, instead it was being used by him to fulfill his desires.

" ...You were a friend I connected to thoroughly as well...but this is not how things should go...if you wanted to get stronger there were other ways with us with any means...but not that one!" he said, his words sounding like pleading rather than force, he merely wanted to avoid this and save Neo without this struggle, even if the thought of battle was in his desire as well.

"..You say you want to share your pain...then trust me you already have done a lot of that you know very well what our lives were like...but I grew, I changed because of you and everyone I met...whether it was for the better or for the worst...I felt like I returned home before it went up in flames." he said, tears beginning to appear as he immediately shook them off.

He looked down at his Liberator deck, wondering if he could save his best friend with it now that he had painted his wings jet black. He held his deck close to where his heart was, as the deck began to illuminate along with his blue aura, he could almost hear the Liberators cheering him on. With that he prepared facing his best friend, and his greatest foe yet for the sake of understanding one another and saving each other in their own way, through their own pain.

[NeoBuster]

"None of you understand..." Neo said

"I was on a mission to find my parents, to discovery why they disappeared all those years ago.. and to find they that they didnt disappear, they just got up and left you to be alone! That feeling of emptyness is something none of you have felt!" He said with tears falling down his face.

Neo then took out his Reverse Narukami deck and pointed at Tsubasa

"And this is the day that I defeat you!" Neo said
