(GS3) Field: Hotel

[Hope]

"No prob..."

She let go of him and stood back up. Strange to think that he would be her opponent, the one to see the serious side of her. Maybe that would cheer him up?... Neu walked over to the hotel room desk and moved it as well as well as the chair effortlessly and slid it in front of Neo. She took out her deck and placed it on the table.

"Tell you what, I'll fight you right here and now, and I won't hold back. I'll be enjoying myself too, but I'll be using my main clan this time around."

[NeoBuster]

Neo was still wiping his tears away but he accepted Neu's challege. But Neo was so lost in the moment that he didnt even take out his cardfight table. He just put his starter down on the table and was ready to fight.

"Game on" Neo said

[NeoBuster]

"I have no idea.." Neo said as he beat Neu's main clan.

"Link Joker...." Neo said to himself

"What power.. The power to seal units to prevent me from using them" Neo said

Neo was in shock. He didnt know how to react to that power..

"So thats your main clan?" Neo asked Neu

[Nobody]

Meanwhile, in Haruka's room, Shiki was still deep asleep. For a few days now. Sure, he was really tired but this goes beyond that. It was almost as if he was in a coma, but not really. A really peaceful sleep, or so it seemed on the outside. In reality he's stuck in one hell or a dream.. or a nightmare would be a better word for it perhaps? There wasn't really anyone in the room to wake him up, so he simply had the very same nightmare loop after loop.


There was only endless darkness, literally nothing, no matter how far you go, or in which direction - darkness. Nothingness. He couldn't see or feel anything except himself. It made him feel very uneasy, visibly shaking, not like it mattered anyways, he was the only one in this nothingness, he could probably strip to nothing, not like anyone could see it.

As he wandered he realized, there is no use. He won't find anyone or anything. Not even the so called "light at the end of the tunnel". At this point he realized it was a dream, there was no way it was so real afterall.. even if.. it did feel real..

Suddenly, the area got enveloped in fog, paired with an eerie feeling. Shortly after, a laughter followed, echoing against the non existend walls of this abyss, it was impossible to track where it was coming from no matter how good one's hearing was. Naturally, Shiki panicked and started looking around, and once again found nothing. He couldn't even tell which way was forward anymore. That was when a shadowy figure suddenly appeared infront of him, as if someone cut it out in paint and pressed "paste". Out of nothing.

He started walking towards Shiki, as indicated by the sound of bones as he moved. The closer he got, the harder the "air" got to breathe. The man almost vomited as the figure stood right infront of him.

He was basically passing out at this point, the figure's mere presence was simply too much for him. As he lost consiousness, the figure placed two skeletal arms on Shiki's shoulders and started saying something, his "lips" visibly moving. But it was too late for Shiki to understand just what it was what he said.

He passed out..


..and then woke up, finally. Blasting out of bed he had to confirm he's in one piece, and that it was actually a dream, which is what it looked like. Everything was alright, he didn't feeel like throwing up anymore and his bones were intact. But still, something felt wrong.

Epilogue

As Shin'en walked into his room he went straight to bed, and went to sleep

-Blaster Dark walks into a dark room where two shadows were standing, and one candle lit.-
Blaster Dark : Thank you for your Witches Amaterasu, and for helping me get back. I know now Gold Paladin can't do anything right. Hopefully Link Joker is gone for good.
CEO Amaterasu : Oh, they will be back.
-Blaster Dark looks confused-
Blaster Dark : What? They are gone.
CEO Amaterasu : I sense a great, powerful, being and this time with an army, they are coming back Blaster Dark, be ready.
Blaster Dark : But I am not the king, that would be Phantom Blaster Dragon.
CEO Amaterasu : Phantom Blaster Dragon is still alive you know. Coco...
Coco: Phantom Blaster Dragon was split into two beings, some say one was a Mighty Dragon that takes power from all, and others say there was a Dark Knight, he called his allies to the battle field.
CEO Amaterasu : You need to find the Knight, the Mordred he will lead you to the right path.
Blaster Dark : How will I find him, I don’t even know who he is or what he looks like.
CEO Amaterasu : You have a bond with Phantom Blaster Dragon don't you? Well then you should know when you find him.
Coco : Ms. Amaterasu knows all, I think you should listen to her.
Blaster Dark : Well, we should be ready for war.

Shin'en wakes up out of breath, he takes out his deck and then and there his deck turned into a new one, at the top were new cards, and at the very bottom he saw his avatar. "My avatar, wait .... This isn't my avatar, this is ' Blaster Dark Revenger '?"

(At the stadium)
At the end of it all when Neu and Yukino were put on the line of medical treatment, Tsubasa had the chance to speak to his units, mainly Ezel and the two Blasters. They seemed to be accepting and impressed by his performance, but what mattered to Tsubasa was that his warriors were talking to him, conveying their thoughts and communicating, as friends, something that Tsubasa was always hesitant of achieving.

"...Ezel, Blaster Blade, Blaster Dark...take care of Yukino for us all, she's going to need all the help she can get...if her plan is to go back to cray." he said, still trying his best to keep himself standing as the impact from the fights took a toll on his body.

"...We will do our best to aid the Chosen Sword, but please remember Tsubasa Hayato...unlike the past few months we won't leave your side....-as the blasters and ezel place their hands on Tsubasa's deck- ....our Vanguard."

Tsubasa's deck begins to shine when the three recognize him as a worthy Vanguard, even though the deck still remained the same for the time being

"...Thank you.." he said, as he began to walk towards all the familiar faces in the stadium, entrusting Yukino to the three warriors.
"..Alexander...Seifer....everyone...thank you for believing in us all...before we return back to Japan I hope we can meet up at some point..." he said, as he began to leave the stadium.

Before he completely exits he stops by Neu's stretcher and places his hand upon hers and says,"...Be careful...I know that we will get to see each other again... but until that time...get some rest.." with that he begins to walk off towards his hotel room to get some rest, his deck still glowing even stronger but because of his frail condition he is unable to notice it completely.

(At the Hotel Room)
Tsubasa enters the hotel room, swaying a bit, his pocket glowing but he is unable to notice it quickly enough to react as all he cares about at this point is to get some rest. Still he takes out his deck and sees that it's changing along with the spirit cards, but his condition does not allow him to see the full changes before they are complete.

"...Huh...what is happenin-" he says, as he collapses on the bed, falling immediately to sleep.

At that moment his deck releases a blinding ray of light and after a few minutes, the light fades away and in it's place blaster blade spirit and blaster dark spirit had evolved to suit their Vanguard.

"...We will be by your side...our Vanguard..."

As Tsubasa continues his sleep, his deck returns to normal but this time in his hand lies his new golden avatar, Blaster Blade Liberator and his dark avatar Blaster Dark Revenger.

After the events at the stadium, Seifer had returned to the hotel, and the room he shared with Neo, more worried than ever. The deck in his pocket had changed back from Great Nature to Kagero and he was now quietly looking through the deck. It had changed quite a great deal from what he remembered it being. But there was Overlord, back in his possession. That brought a smile to his face as he put the deck back into the deck case attached to his hip. There was now a lot to think about however... He was worried about Neu, Tsubasa, Hana, and even Yukino. He wondered where they were at currently, and if he could possibly meet with Neu for any reason. Then again he remembered her being hauled off in an ambulance. Sighing he stood up, first going to take a shower. He kind of needed one after what everyone had gone though. Walking out after several minutes and drying his hair he'd changed into a new outfit: a black vest, black t-shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. Picking up his deck and leaving a note for Neo saying that he was going to go take some time to think, he walked out of the hotel room to go... who knows where.

[AlwaysAwake]

Having pocketed Harukas number, and seen Tsubasa off, he proceeded to head back to his Hotel room. He saw the sights of a trashed New York on his way back though its people held a certain hardiness in them that aided in the rebuilding procedure. Something he appreciated. On his way there, he began to contemplate all the happenings within the few days he had been here. The finale of the circuit being the most memorable of all,  all sorts of out of world feats having been accomplished leaving him in a daze. Especially seeing the famed unit of Shadow Paladin, Blaster Dark, in the flesh.

"Feels like a dream when I think about it." Making his remark of disbelief, though the events were anything but fake. The bonds he began to create, and the bonds he noticed could not be simply dismissed with a such a simple concept.

Alexander had finally reached his room, having decided to finally get a change of clothes and shower. He still had Kurais purple towel, making a mental note to wash it and hand it back to them before he left back to Japan. He would coth himself in casual clothes, dark jeans with a yellow shirt. His pair of headphones laying on the bed as he dragged out his vanguard deck, though something seemed weird to him.

"Wait, what." Mumbling to himself as he flipped through the cards. It wasn't just that some cards were added in magically, no his entire clan had changed. At the forefront of the dark knights lay a purple knight of mystifying charisma, catching his attention with a knight right behind him labeled "Blaster Dark."

"Shadow Paladin again. Ugh, those were not good times." His eyes looking as if remembering a far off memory, times of anger and loneliness. Times when he leaned on the dark knights as a crutch to express his negative emotions, times when he wasn't the kind of person he had ever wished to be. Neu's world memory revival, and the dawning of these cards once more, having jogged his memory. A memory of a young man that now wished to repent for the wrongdoings of before.

"Though, why would you guys be with me again?" Questioning, uncertainty filling his head but followed by an annoyed sigh. The Nova Grappler deck was gone, the battleroids lending him their strength when he remained powerless. He felt a tinge of regret, their selflessness as they helped him in an unknowing battle to regain the lost clans. Shadow paladin was saved, though the emotions he felt from them was different than before. He couldn't talk to vanguard cards, but like opponents and their units, there was always an emotion given off. Repentance, the same emotion and goal, the same drive felt by both warriors and their vanguard.

"I see." Giving a solemn nod, the events of the two days tiring him out, and the clan being returned to him causing a bit of mental baggage to shift through. Groggily he got into his pajamas and went to bed. Maybe his plans would involve finding Tsubasa or giving Haruka a call. Some time outside hanging out would likely do him some good for now at the very least.

[Hope]

"My first concert!? Really? Yes! Of course I won't turn it down!

The Mermaids and Angels were jumping for joy and celebrating, Hana was almost there. She had almost made it. Her broadcast and contribution to the recent event sealed the deal. To many people she was the voice of hope, the figure whom calmed them during their times of trouble. "We did it... We're going to take the stage..." She would say to herself again and again, after all the hard work and endless amount of practice, the felt like this was the best reward. She thought that she would be practicing forever and ever, unable to perform, but now she had her future set.

The Bermuda Triangle started to all speak at once, giving her tips when singing and even certain things to do to make solidify her idol persona. The first concert would where her announcement as the princess made the most impact, Time's Square, New York, in two days time. She had the choice to invite other performers to come with her.

This was her list so far:
Mi-hime
Iguana-chan
Drake

[Cipher Izanagi]

Well, even given directions, Seifer managed to get lost a few times but he finally made it to the hospital. However he wasn't allowed to visit and just left his number for them to let him know when he can and reluctantly returned to the hotel milling around the lobby and looking at all the other magazines. Flipping through one of the Vanguard ones he managed to find, he just sat down and waiting. It wasn't like there was much left for him to do here.

[ryujiknight]

After Shin'en finally got his deck in order, he went down stairs to the lobby to find someone to test it out on.  He looked around and saw someone holdig a Vanguard magazine, Shin'en thought that he had to play vanguard. He walked over to the stranger and said, " Hi, You dont happen to play do ya?"

[Cipher Izanagi]

Seifer glanced up when he was addressed, recognizing the other male from the tournament, though, he'd never met him in person. "Yeah, I play. Say, you were from the tournament though right? Shin'en?" he asked, tilting his head. Seifer himself had also participated but after the events of what transpired after, he'd rather not remember much of it.

[ryujiknight]

"Yeah, I made it to the (3rd technically) 2nd round, and lost to Haruki, do you know of him?" Shin'en said with a smile

[Cipher Izanagi]

"Yeah, one of my friends. I lost out to Tsubasa in round two myself." he laughed scratching the back of his head before closing the magazine and putting it to the side. "This is the first time we're meeting and you probably might not know my name. Kinda non-important." he grinned making fun of himself. "I'm Seifer Leo, it's a pleasure to meet you."

[ryujiknight]

"I'm Shin'en Kuraidesu, nice to meet you, now back to the reason I came over here, I got this new deck and wanna test it, you up for it?" Shin'en said sitting down next to him.
