(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Hope]

Neu sent Tsubasa a text message:
"Hey bb g' evenin'. Plz get yo butt home. kk thx bai ttyl. i c u rn so get uppity. <3 Neu."

[Cipher Izanagi]

Sad to say, being Seifer's first time doing this, he seemed adept at speedily getting orders, taking them to the counter and then back out. He didn't even seem to be breaking much of a sweat. Actually to be honest, he seemed to be enjoying himself as well, which was odd. He didn't typically like interacting with new people if he could help it and yet here he was taking orders for complete strangers, smiling, and dashing about. Doing everything almost perfectly. It would be a quick night indeed, since several of the customers would leave rather satisfied with customer service and such. "Regular Coffee, Mocha, and a... Frappe? What even is a Frappe?" Seifer asked toward the latter part of this shift as he came back up to the counter to deliver another order. He said it in an informal way, and yet the job itself was getting done, and people were happy so there should be no complaints right?

"Yes! Finally! I can go to sleep soon with this!" Noel softly blew off some of the steam and took a sip. She felt like she was sent to heaven. Again, the hot chocolate tasted really good. Next she dipped on of the cookies into and then bit the part she dunked into the drink. Again, Noel felt like she died and went to heaven.

"I'm alright I guess, just really tired right and wanna go to sleep after this..." She replied to Tsubasa. Unfortunately, even though Noel took her time with the hot chocolate and cookies, she finished both and was ready to go back to her hotel room and sleep. "That really did it for me, I can feel the drowsiness slowly coming in. I should go while I still can and feel the drowsiness. Let's hope my dream doesn't get eaten again... ugh, I hate this..." Noel got up and left a generous tip on the table and said bye to everyone.

"She's great man that woman is one hell of a lady, and on other notes she started using my ezel deck...she's really good with it not gonna lie, makes for some awesome fights." he said, replying to Haruka.

The hot chocolate was superb, it was well made and hit the spot perfectly. Though now Tsubasa had to get back home to check up on Neu and what she needs, now that he texted back it was time for him to go.

"I appreciate the service Haru, also Seifer I need to talk to you later so stay in touch, and Darren it's great to see you again, it was awesome to see all of you again, see you guys soon." he said, as he left the shop.

A solid tip was left by Noel at the table she was at with Darren. Score. He'd have to split that with Seifer for a good job today, people seemed to be pouring out with smiles on their faces. The end of the shift was in about fifteen minutes so he'd have to grab him before all that ended.

"Seifer, oi, over here. Thanks for the help, but we're pretty much done for the night. We close in about ten. I'll trade you that apron for a decent amount of cash money?" Haruka smiled, waving him over. Noel just went out, leaving Darren, Seifer, Tsu and Haruka. But Tsu seemed to be heading out in a bit. Must have been Neu. She was almost worse than Hana when it came to stalking. Doesn't even need light, she can see everything.

Creeeeepy.

Haruka took the yen bills, splitting the amount in 60/40 manner, giving Seifer the 60% and Haruka taking the latter half. Haruka already got a paycheck so he didn't need to keep all that money anyways. He stretched out his neck before calling Darren and Seifer over, giving each a cinnamon bun.

"For coming out tonight, I appreciate it guys. Enjoy, also on the house. It came out of my paycheck so you better enjoy it. Sorta wish Noel and Tsu could have stayed longer, but eh."

Haruka's glass polishing once again resumed. This was getting ridiculous.

[Golden Sage NovaRaizer]

Darren smiled as he took the Cinnamon Bun. It was fun to be out here like this, he was glad he did it. It was unfortunate that Noel had to go so soon but he could tell she was tired. Tsubasa left as well which was a bit more odd. It must have been important. Darren drank down his Hot Chocolate as he said, "She won't miss out. I'll give her mine. The cookies I have is good for me and I can always come back and get a bun later."

He gave a small yawn before he stood up. Even though it was a short visit, it was lively and exciting. "I'll take the rest to go though. I'm starting to get a bit tired myself." He held onto the cookies as he stretched out, moving towards the door. "See you all soon, if not at the club." With that said, he left with a smile on his face.

A door to PSY Shop was opened up on the other side of the road for Seifer.

(Post a RP of yourself entering as well as a post in the shop thread itself, Tsubasa and Neu will be there as well.)

[Cipher Izanagi]

As the last of the guests left and Seifer returned to the counter, he traded in the apron for his usual belt clasp type jacket and pocketed the money nodding his thanks to Haruka. When offered the cinnamon bun he accepted it gratefully sitting down and waving to everyone as they left. "Will do Tsubasa! And see you all later!" he called after the ones that left leaning against the counter and watching them leave, eating the bun quietly. "Pretty interesting night overall I gotta say. Wasn't expecting it to turn out like this but hey, can't complain." he spoke to Haruka, glancing over his shoulder at the other male as he went about washing the dishes. He was about to say something else when he noticed the random door. It seemed to call to him and well... He went with it, waving to Haruka. "I uh, gotta go check on something. Text me later. We should hang out more often." with that he left, and paused just outside the door for a moment, looking it over, before walking inside.

The entire city was littered with soldiers of the Reverse. A legion of meat puppets for the black rings.

At the helm of the current state of Hoshiko's shopping district was a man in a long dark coat and sunglasses. One reversal of his became many more as his disciples multiplied rapidly, a massive force seeking to claim the strong for their ranks. A titan of the movement, but someone who didn't fit the characteristics of the fight-crazed minions he somehow procured.

Satoshi Kurosaki, currently (and unfortunately) dubbed "Cherushi," was rather separate from the whole craving to fight the strong thing. He was more interested in a demonstration of what the invasion could do for people. So far, he had shown that the world could refocus itself if everyone could have a common goal. Why stress about work and life when you could simply serve as a Reverse agent? Being a puppet of the rings and its vassals was, as crazy as it sounded, a lot more liberating than one might think.

Surveying the area, he was determining if his work for this area was done. His next directive was to head to Rijiku's residential area and collect more soldiers, but only if there was nothing left to do.

[Lance Korilum]

  From the moment Cero entered the shopping district, he realize he had made a poor decision.  There was a high number of Reverse fighters here, and a massive black ring in the sky, the same ring as what appeared when a unit was Locked.  This had to be one of the main areas for the Reverse fighters, and Cero had wandered right into it unaware.  Gritting his teeth, he realized he'd be forced to face an onslaught of fighters just like he had at the Training Facility.  Cero needed a plan.  The chances of getting out of this undefeated were slim, and he couldn't rely on back-up arriving like it had at the Training Facility.  As far as Cero was aware, he would be alone.  He could either retreat now, or fight and save as many people as he could.  To Cero, the choice was obvious.  He saw a wave of Reverse fighters walking towards him, and readied his decks to fight.

[Beryl]

Cherushi noticed a source of power he hadn't anticipated showing up. Cero Kirguis. One of the heroes of the War of Liberation. How fitting. Adjusting his sunglasses, he made a gesture with his ringed hands to get his meat puppets to move aside. This wasn't their prey.

"A bit dangerous to be out and about like this, Cero Kirguis." He crossed his arms. "I'd advise you find safety."

[Lance Korilum]

  Cero was admittedly rather surprised that the Reverse fighters at first had chosen not to fight him, until he realized what they were doing: clearing a path for the big boss.  This man was vaguely familiar, though Cero couldn't quite pin down who he was.  It didn't matter, this man was asking for a fight, and Cero planned to give it to him.  If he won, then there would be no problem bringing back the rest of the souls that had fallen victim to Reverse.

  Smirking, Cero responded to the man's taunts, "If you know my name, you should be aware that a challenge like this is what I live for.  Stakes have never been higher, and Reverse has put up a decent challenge.  If anyone should by finding safety, it should be you!  You're the boss of these goons, right?  Then I, Cero Kirguis, Europe's King of Vanguard will take you down and free these souls from their imprisonment!"

[Beryl]

"Goons? I suppose that's something you could call them." Cherushi examined the servants of Reverse from the corner of his eyes. They looked hungry, but conceded to the one they knew was stronger. Survival of the fittest, he supposed.

He held out his marked hand. The marks glowed once more and spawned a deck in his hand. Putting it in his other, he waved the hand and spawned a floating field before them. "Alright. If you're going to take me down, Cero Kirguis, then here is our battleground. I only hope you know what you're in for."

A slight smile. King Europe thought he was ready, but he had no clue what he was about to experience.

[Lance Korilum]

  The familiar man was using Link Joker...  The clan that had taken Vermillion away from Cero one year ago.  Filled with desire for vengeance, along with his normal drive to win, his deck responded and gave him its full power.  Cero didn't hold back an inch against his opponent.  His opponent brought forth the incredibly power of Link Joker, locking away most of Cero's units and getting early triggers aplenty.  They even brought forth a unit Cero had never seen before, Star-Vader Nebula Lord Dragon.  It powered up its allies for every locked unit, granting the front row units incredible amounts of power.  With the arrival of this card, his opponent revealed their identity: Satoshi Kurosaki, one of the Champions in the War of Liberation and Cero's opponent in the National Qualifiers.  Satoshi brought forth a powerful set of attacks, but Cero, however, had the shield to guard and responded with his strongest card:  Eradicator, Dragonic Descendant.  Even though most of his rear-guards were unavailable, Descendant brought forth a double trigger, and with its Limit Break, broke through two of his opponent's Perfect Guards.  Although he hadn't won that turn, he had certainly been able to pull ahead.  Surviving a second turn of Nebula Lord, his opponent was now out of locks.  Cero put everything he had into this one chance, and managed to defeat Link Joker.  With Satoshi presumably freed, and Vermillion avenged, Cero was ready to move on to freeing everyone else there...  However, Satoshi remained Reversed.  How!?  Cero had won!  Everyone else had been freed the moment they had lost, so why not now!? 

  Satoshi said two things to Cero before leaving:  One, that Cero should leave, and two, to tell Yugure that "the marked sends their regards."  Reluctantly, Cero began to exit the shopping district, but not before shouting at the fallen soul, "You may think I can't save others, but I swear I will free as many people as I can from the false power you and the other pawns of Link Joker give them.  I'll show them what true strength is!"

[Spectre Diamond]

On top of one of the buildings of the shopping district. Hikaru was observing the fight from above. He had been tracking Cero for a while now. The self declared Europe's king of vanguard had managed to defeat the man, Satoshi. To be frank he didn't have much faith in Satoshi winning, especially calling back his starter after using its skill. What really caught him by surprise was the fact that Satoshi was still in a reversed state. Normally he would of been unreversed at the moment.

He continued to observe the self proclaimed King. Seeing as Cero Had left the area, he decided to leave. Going on to the oblivion that was parked on top of the building. The moment he went on the Oblivion the motorcycle began to change in shape. The engine began to emit a bloody scarlet glow. The Oblivion it self changed outwardly as the black became a stark white as red circuit lines began to go over the bike and the back and front of the bike became sharper. He began to rev up the new engine as he darts towards the edge and rides off onto the air. He worries not as the suit obscures his appearance and won't have to worry of the authorities or anyone else for that matter. Using the power of nothingness he creates a slip stream that gives a path for Hikaru. He revs the engine even faster as the bike lands on the concrete with no impacting damages on the fighter and the bike as it.

He then speeds off out of the area intending on taking down the king.
