(GS3) Field: Hoshiko High School

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky let out a sigh, It had been weeks since anyone had been in the school, it was really strange now all of a sudden the school was full of kids muttering and laughing to themselves, saying revers this revers that, Sky just didn't get it. If this was a game weren't they taking it a little to far? Sky decided to stop worrying about it and finish cleaning so he could go home for the day and think about how to get Stern back. The next place he had to clean was the auditorium.

[Cece Lockhart]

A group of Noel's Reversed fighters came back inside the auditorium dragging what seemed like a school janitor. It was a familiar face. It was Sky, a Nova Grappler Blaukluger fighter that Noel fought before when things were still peaceful and pure. They brought him up the stage and threw him in front of Noel. His deck box fell in between them. "Are you... strong??"

The two red markings started to appear underneath her glowing red, lifeless eyes as well as her dark red and black aura wrapped her around. Noel picked up her deck which also started radiating the same aura.

[Skyzlimitz]

"Are you strong?" That's what Noel asked him. Sky looked at her after being dragged in by 2 members of the cardfight club. Sky started to put things together. This must've been some plan to get him to fight again. Since he lost Stern Sky hasn't even taken out his deck but he did always keep it on him, because he just couldn't fully abandon vanguard. The club members must've saw this and organized this elaborate plan to get him to start playing again. "Look Noel, I see what you're trying to do and I guess I'll humor your little plan since I appreciate the thought, but I doubt it' gonna get me back into vanguard. " Sky said with a small smile.

[Cece Lockhart]

Noel showed no type of emotion. Her face was expressionless like if she had an empty void in where her heart is supposed to be which caused her to ignore and not care what Sky was mistakenly thinking. The area around them suddenly transformed into the space-like field in which all fights versus members of the Reverse go into. Two pale red glowing fields appeared in front of them. Noel set her starter face down and shuffled her deck. After drawing her opening hand, Sky's fate was about to begin. Will he unknowingly Unreverse Noel or will he become another victim of the countless fighters she had Reversed?

"Stand up... Vanguard..."

[RosaliaIzanami]

At the school, it was a little emptier than she thought. It felt creepy enough, not that the giant black ring above the school was helping. So this is where Noel claimed her territory... Rosalia thought, partially remembering that while Reversed, the redhead herself was attempting to take over the Shopping District as her own circus land. Clearly going there now wasn't a smart idea, hearing the commotion and buildings shaking from here. Let's just hurry... If I can save Noel, and maybe anyone else here... One less ring means one less army... Taking a deep breath, the female headed inside, careful not to be seen by those "lesser Reversed" fighters. She had to keep up her strength for Noel. After that... Well, she'd think of something when the time came.

Moving deeper into the school, unfortunately there were more Reverse Fighters inside than on the outside, and was having a hard time hiding from them all. But what seemed to be a focal point, or at least where she heard fighting, was none other than the auditorium. Is.. someone else here?... Reverse Fighters wouldn't fight themselves... O-or is it Noel finding more people?... She took a deep breath, waited, and ran the moment the coast was clear. Even if she was heard now, she knew it.. she just knew Noel had to be inside!

But inside, Rosalia stopped in the middle of the aisle that was the auditorium, watching a fight between Noel and... Sky? Where the heck had he been up to in all of this?! "Noely!!!"

[Skyzlimitz]

It was a close fight 5 to 5 damage. Sky thought that maybe he could fight without Stern. But Sky also could not bear the thought of break riding the new unit Merkur Blaukluger as a replacement because Sky felt that would be a betrayal to Stern. And while he did not understand why Stern left he did not want to try to replace him. So Sky chose to breakride Mond on top of Mond istead. The vanguard attack being weaker allowed Noel to easily guard with a quintet wall and holdout against Sky's usual onslaught of rears. Throughout the fight Sky was torn, half of him was enjoying the fight like always but the other half yearned to know what he was missing. Why did Stern leave him. Sky found his answer in Noel's words. "You're too weak. That's why Stern left you." It was like she read his mind. When he heard this Sky looked up and saw Noel's twisted smile. But beyond that he saw something more. Power. That must've been what he was missing! Sky looked at the field and realized though the damage was tied Noel was fighting in a whole other league than when they fought last time. This growth...Sky wanted it...he needed it. "So Stern left because I am too weak?" Sky asked already knowing the answer. "Then... can you give me the strength I need?" Sky was asking Noel, but something else answered. Something was invading Sky's mind and speaking to him.
"She can help with the process, but I'll give you the strength you need." The voice said calmly.

"How?"

"Just say these two little words and I'll show you....partner."
Sky only consideres blaukluger his partner but the way the voice spoke the way it filled Sky with..... confidence it made him want to give in.

As Noel declared her final attack, Sky stared at the perfect guard in his hand and said it already stariting to lose himself "No guard."

"Nice job Now lets go get Stern back partner."

Sky checked his sixth damage a copy of G2 Blaukluger. Sky stared at it and said "Yea lets.........GAHHHHHHHHH"

Sky screamed as a red and black aura poured into him filling him with Darkness. As the pain from the experience subsided Sky rose to his feet half of his face smiling. "yes......Yes."


"......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHA!   YES! YESSSSSSS! YYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!" "This power!" Sky exclaimed staring at his hands as the darkness corsed through him. "This is what I needed! With this Stern will come back to me!" Sky picked up his deck and put it in his pocket. "I'll bring Stern back soon, but until then I can't use you." Sky said patting his deck one last time.

"Now I believe you promised me a new deck."Sky said to the voice now inside of him. "Ah right on time." Sky smiled as a new deck materialized out of a set of black rings that appeared in front of him.

"I hope you like it partner, you'll be wielding the number of the beast to get Stern back. He says he's proud of you and can't wait to see how strong you are now."

"I don't like it. I love it!......partner!" Sky said staring at his new avatar Deadliest Beast Deity, Ethics Buster "Яeverse"

[Cece Lockhart]

The now freed but still Reversed Noel walks up to Sky who is now Reversed. "You are now pure, your weakness has been discarded. Be grateful for I will now give you an offer I haven't given anyone yet. Be my loyal bodyguard, you don't seem as weak as the others so I will allow you to command portions of my servants so we can expand my kingdom. We will recover this so called Seed and use it to rule this city! I will purge every single one from their weakness. And then..."

Noel starts to walk away and begins to laugh hysterically, "I WILL COME AFTER YOU BROTHER!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CHANCE THAT WE CAN KILL EACH OTHER!!" her laugh has become very psychotic that even her weak-willed Reversed servants were terrified. Her desire to fight Seifer has reached levels that obsession seems like a nice word for it. Now with the directive from her superiors memorized, she plans on finding the Seed but with no intention of handing it over. No, she wants to use it for herself, to enjoy the glory she deserves. Her birthright, the pride of a Kusanagi destined to stand on top of everyone else.

[Skyzlimitz]

"AS long as I can prove my strength I'm fine with serving you Noel" Sky said with a smile.
"At least for now...isn't that right partner?"
"Hush Ethics. As long as we can prove our strength there's no need for betrayal...yet."

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia only stared in horror at the pair. They were different from the typical, mindless fighters that merely asked "are you strong?" every two seconds. This was like how Seifer was before, or even herself... Was this how Noel felt, wanting to save her from the clutches of Reverse? Terrified?... Taking a deep breath, the redhead steeled her nerves as best she could and approached the pair. It wasn't just Noel now that she had to save... "N-noel! Sky! You two... Just how could you?! You were in pain when you were Reversed. Why do you think that is?! This.. this isn't you! Neither of you are like this; its Link Joker talking!" She gripped the deck at her side. Could she really face off against both of them?... "Are you two gonna just let this consume you forever? What happened to your Pure Heart Ashlei, Noel? And your Nova Grapplers, Sky? Can you really say that they're happy?... I've been through being Reversed. I hurt my units, my avatar... and I hurt you, Noel... It's my fault you're like this... so I've come to fix it all... I won't leave you in the dark anymore..."

[Cece Lockhart]

Noel stopped and turned around to see a frightened red head with what it seems like an attempt to "fix it all." Rosalia returned but no longer Reversed when Noel last saw her

"SILENCE!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TALK TO ME LIKE THAT?! KNOW YOUR PLACE!" Noel's dark aura flared causing shock waves that caused the red head go down to her knees, "Consume me? Do you have any idea how this really feels?! It feels great, I finally have the power to live up to my father's standards and even beyond! Ashlei's heart is as pure as it has ever been! Look around you! All of my slaves, freed from their weakness and now serving me and accepting their place in the world!" Noel's aura started to calm down, then her twisted smile returned with an idea...


"You are no longer one of us... you are weak and useless to me... unless..." She then walked up to Rosalia and grabbed her by the collar, "Hehehe...HAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS PERFECT! Yes... you won't be as useless as you think! Rejoice! I have chosen you to play a great role! You of the Silver Thorn Circus know how important the final act is right?!" Noel got close and whispered into her ear, "Now who do you think that is...?"

Noel then chopped her in the neck, knocking her out and then called her Reversed servants to take Rosalia to the Cardfight Club's room where she will await the mark of her final act. "Brother... I can't wait to see you..."

She then started making her way to the club room with her hysteric laugh echoing across the halls

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky blinked at the scene then stopped caring. A twisted idea came into his mind. He walked into the faculty staff office, they all recently got into vanguard and some were pretty good. Since Sky stopped playing for a while and didn't know where the club was he had been coaching them. "Mr. Carter!" they said waving at him "Come to teach us some more?"

"Something like that." Sky said holding up his new black deckbox

"Oh so you're finally going to fight with us?! Great we've all gotten alot stronger since last time so pleas don't hold back!"

"Oh I won't I'll treat you as if you were my ....foes" Sky said with a sinister smile.

"Even the strongest needs underlings huh partner?"

"That's right partner. So who wants to go first?" Sky asked shutting the door behind him.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia's eyes widened at the aura that forced her down, the female flashing back briefly to the flames that Psycho-Seifer had before. "H-holy- a-ack!" First forced to her knees, then pulled up by her collar. Typical abuse for a high school, the redhead gripping Noel's arm that held her. Her shaking had started to return, staring at Noel as she went from dictator to playing secrets in two point five seconds flat. "W-what?..." Final Act?... "N-no wai-" And out like a light she went. Last time she passed out was.. yesterday, but at least she woke up in a bed. Right now, she was almost happy she wasn't awake... Just, for once, let this all be a nightmare that will go away upon the daylight hours...

[Cece Lockhart]

"Sit her down in that seat, don't harm her. We will use her as bait and I want her to be in the best shape possible." Noel ordered her Reversed servants to put Rosalia on her seat that she would usually take at the Cardfight Club and position her like if she was fast asleep. Phase one complete... now to take care of another thing...

She then goes to the principal's office and uses the intercom so she can contact Sky who went off to Reverse the remaining and unsuspecting adults that were still in the school.

Sky, I order you to go out and find our good friend Tsubasa! I think he will make a wonderful servant to add to my collection! Leave at once and don't come back until you bring him back!

"Now with that taken cared of... time for Phase Three to begin..." Noel giggled evil-like and went back to the Cardfight Club where her servants waited her next command and a sleeping Rosalia was sitting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rosalia!! Hey!! Wake up!! Yahello!! Oh come on! Wake up sleepy head!" Noel was shaking Rosalia to wake up. It was a beautiful day to be in the Cardfight Club.

[Skyzlimitz]

"She's giving you orders, are we just going to listen partner?"

"No ....it's fine partner. Didn't you hear what she said? She want's me to find Tsubasa. My old friend Tsubasa. The one who made Stern leave!" Sky said slamming his fist on a table.  "I'm starting to get excited Ethics, very very excited!"

"Sky Corps!" Sky yelled to the now reversed faculty members. "Make sure that the little princess up there remains safe."

"Sir yes sir!" They responded with sadistic smiles, hoping for a chance to use their newly bestowed reverse abilities.

As Sky walked out of the main entrance he had a huge grin on his face. "Tsubasa my foe, I'm coming so we can play together! Lets have a good fight!"

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia wasn't sure how long she was asleep for, nor did she care. In her unconsciousness, she only saw blackness and red; the nightmare of Reverse. She wanted to wake up, but something kept her under, as if the silence around her was keeping her caged. Until she heard a voice...

Noel?...

The redhead shifted and rubbed the back of her neck, the unexplained soreness bothering her as she opened her eyes. Around her was... the Cardfight Club... Others were fighting or talking casually... and Noel was by her side. How did I... Was... all of this a dream?... She looked to the other female. Noel seemed... normal, unlike what she last remembered. "N-noely?... H-hang on, what's going on? I didn't... Was I asleep?... I remember... everything was like a war zone... Link Joker is behind it all, a-and you were Reversed, and..." If it really was a dream... that was one hell of a nightmare.
