Viewtiful Rekk (12:12:41 AM): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Viewtiful Rekk (12:13:21 AM): Desdemona sits atop the lighthouse at the school's docks as the night sky hangs above Duel Academy, the moon shining high in the air.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:13:34 AM): "...hmm..." She pulls out her PDA after a moment or two and dials in a number.
Sinisquirrel (12:15:07 AM): "Huh? Oh, it's Isa..." Pause. "Des... demona..." Mylene pickes up her PDA. "Uh, yeah?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:15:45 AM): "Mylene, dear. May I ask you a favor?"
Sinisquirrel (12:17:20 AM): "Uhm..." Not sure about this particular tone from that particular voice, she hesitates for only a minute. "Sure, what is it?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:17:58 AM): She smiles. "What can you tell me about the student...Alexander Hawkeye?"
Sinisquirrel (12:19:01 AM): "Uh, well, he's in Obelisk Blue and is really smart like me... I met 'im once, kinda briefly and in a bad circumstance, but he seemed nice. Why?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:20:04 AM): "Mmm...I've heard he's quite talented...like you, almost."
Sinisquirrel (12:20:52 AM): "Well, I guess I'd say more 'cause he's higher rank, but..."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:23:02 AM): "Ah, but, you know, everybody has their own specific niche to fill."
Sinisquirrel (12:23:42 AM): "R-Right, so... You wanna talk to him or somethin'?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:24:57 AM): "Aah...I think so, yes."
Sinisquirrel (12:25:57 AM): "'Kay... Well, I think Isa-chan met him before, so I'm not sure what he thinks of her, but..." With a few presses of buttons, his number is sent. "There ya go."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:27:23 AM): She glances at the screen, and indeed, the number has appeared to her. "Thank you very much, Mylene." She says, smirking. "I do hope the rest of the evening finds you well."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:27:27 AM): With that, she hangs up.
Sinisquirrel (12:28:06 AM): "... that's still kinda weird, huh..." Not only is she not used to the pleasant tone, but she's alone at night again.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:30:55 AM): "Hmm..." She dials in the number that had been sent to her.
Y Ruler of Time (12:31:57 AM): In his room, Alex answers his PDA. "Alexander Hawkeye. I don't do repairs anymore if that's what you want."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:32:27 AM): "Gee, 'cause I was hoping you'd repair that fucking tone before I walk over there and split you in two!"
Y Ruler of Time (12:33:00 AM): "...Hello Marias," Alex leans back in his chair and sighs. "What do you want?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:33:42 AM): "What's your rank, anyway?"
Y Ruler of Time (12:34:20 AM): "What do you care?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:35:10 AM): "'Cause if I wanna become anything after I graduate for this dump, I gotta become Kaiserin!"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:35:31 AM): "So I gotta drop losers like you, and...the Polyxena guy and that one bitch with the Crystal deck."
Y Ruler of Time (12:36:01 AM): "Hey, watch your mouth!"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:36:38 AM): "What, the part about you being a loser or about Anna Mustang being a rotten bitch?"
Y Ruler of Time (12:37:45 AM): "Look, Marias, I'm sure we both know how this is going to end. You're going to piss me off to get me to duel you, and I'm going to kick your ass. And then maybe you'll use violence to make yourself feel better."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:38:03 AM): Snortlaugh.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:38:12 AM): "Please! I can duel circles around you, Hawkeye!"
Y Ruler of Time (12:39:08 AM): "Your won-lost record speaks for itself, you know."
Y Ruler of Time (12:40:02 AM): "Look, I'm really busy right now. I honestly don't have time for petty disputes."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:42:18 AM): "Yeah, real busy, I'm sure."
Y Ruler of Time (12:43:33 AM): "Well, between dueling students of significance, building a cycle, dating, and trying to figure out what may or may not be a gigantic conspiracy..." Alex looks over his computer screen, "yes."
Y Ruler of Time (12:44:43 AM): "Maybe when you can consistently win against other Red students I'll think about calling you back."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:45:05 AM): "What the fuck is that supposed to mean!?"
Y Ruler of Time (12:46:17 AM): "I told you already, Marias. Won-lost record."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:47:32 AM): "That's it."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:47:40 AM): "I'm coming to your dorm, Hawkeye."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:47:56 AM): "You're either gonna duel me, or I'm gonna knock a few of your teeth out for your condescending fucking comments!"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:48:03 AM): With that, she snaps the PDA shut.
Y Ruler of Time (12:48:38 AM): Alex rolls his eyes. "Sure, not like anyone cares about invasion of privacy...Why does that lock not work, anyway?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:49:12 AM): She sighs. "Isabel's not as good at making people do what she says as she thinks she is..."
Y Ruler of Time (12:49:30 AM): He turns his attention back to the screen. "Alastor's Seal of Fire, Amado's Seal of Wind, Hellnurse's Seal of Darkness..."
Y Ruler of Time (12:50:01 AM): "Supposedly three items of legendary power...in the same room. What's going on?"
Viewtiful Rekk (12:50:21 AM): "Ah well..." She throws a cloak over herself and vanishes, before darting towards the Obelisk dorm.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:51:20 AM): A few moments later, there's a tapping at Alex's window.
Y Ruler of Time (12:51:53 AM): "I'm going to get a restraining order, Marias," he calls out.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:52:48 AM): The tapping just continues.
Y Ruler of Time (12:53:34 AM): With a heavy sigh, Alex turns off the monitor, reaches for his Duel Disk, and goes to the window.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:53:52 AM): ....nobody's there.
Y Ruler of Time (12:54:15 AM): "...That's very funny."
Y Ruler of Time (12:55:06 AM): He undoes the latch. "If you jump up from under the ledge I'm slamming it on your fingers."
Y Ruler of Time (12:55:18 AM): The window slides up.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:55:42 AM): There's a slight rush of wind...and a girl in a black dress is suddenly sitting on Alexander's bed.
Viewtiful Rekk (12:55:55 AM): "I daresay, you can't slam it on my fingers from over here."
Y Ruler of Time (12:57:00 AM): He jumps a little as he turns to her. "...That was very creepy and unnecessary."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:57:31 AM): She smiles ans twirls a finger as a small light appears on it. "Ah, but you know...magic."
Y Ruler of Time (12:57:47 AM): "I hate magic."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:58:01 AM): "So Ive heard."
Y Ruler of Time (12:58:41 AM): "...Uh-huh."
Viewtiful Rekk (12:59:12 AM): "At any rate, Mr. Hawkeye...there are a few things I'd like to speak to you about." She raises the arm with her Duel Disk. "And a duel would make it easiest to do so."
Y Ruler of Time (12:59:16 AM): "You're...acting very calm for someone who was yelling and cursing..." he blinks, "forty seconds ago."
Y Ruler of Time (12:59:37 AM): "Sense when do you talk like that...at all?"
Viewtiful Rekk (1:00:53 AM): "Aaah, I do apologize for the coarse language."
Y Ruler of Time (1:01:06 AM): "...You what?"
Viewtiful Rekk (1:01:26 AM): "Apologize." She smiles.
Y Ruler of Time (1:02:43 AM): "...I'm in trouble, aren't I?"
Y Ruler of Time (1:03:08 AM): "I remember Zandel and Donovan well enough to know that."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:03:38 AM): She blinks. "Whatever do you mean, Alexander?"
Y Ruler of Time (1:07:00 AM): "...I'm not entirely sure, but-" he snaps his cellphone out of his Duel Disk and punches the first number on speed-dial.
Viewtiful Rekk (1:08:01 AM): "...my my, what was that about?"
Y Ruler of Time (1:12:25 AM): "Well I'd like to tell somebody this time before I get abducted or beaten up or whatever."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:14:27 AM): "...I'm not going to abduct or attack you, Alexander."
Y Ruler of Time (1:15:11 AM): "Oh, and I'll certainly take your word on that."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:16:11 AM): She smiles and walks over to Alexander, before placing a finger to his cheek. "Would it make a difference if I promised?"
Y Ruler of Time (1:16:24 AM): "Nnnnnnnnnnope."
Y Ruler of Time (1:16:32 AM): 'Answer already!'
Viewtiful Rekk (1:16:51 AM): "Like I said, I merely wish to talk."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:17:33 AM): "Doing so through a duel would be easiest."
Y Ruler of Time (1:21:03 AM): "I've learned not to agree to duels with people acting creepy or strange unless absolutely necessary."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:22:06 AM): "..." She sighs. "So I'l have to resort to drastic measures to get you to duel me?"
Y Ruler of Time (1:22:25 AM): "Or you could just leave?" suggested hopefully.
Viewtiful Rekk (1:23:47 AM): "No...that won't work..." She sighs and snatches up his Duel Disk, before heading for the door.
Y Ruler of Time (1:24:45 AM): "Hey!" he attempts to snatch it back.
Viewtiful Rekk (1:24:56 AM): She shoves him with ease.
Viewtiful Rekk (1:25:27 AM): "Bring a spare disk to Obelisk Arena...and please avoid notifying the authorities." With that, she's out the door.
Viewtiful Rekk (1:26:06 AM): And someone else walks back in. "...was that Marias with your Duel Disk?"
Y Ruler of Time (1:26:11 AM): "..." Alex glares out the door...and holds up a hand with five fingers, slowly ticking them off. "Security measures acting in..."
Y Ruler of Time (1:26:25 AM): 3...2...1...
Viewtiful Rekk (1:28:39 AM): Bzzzzt! "Ngaaah!" There's the sound of something hitting the floor with a thud...
Viewtiful Rekk (1:28:47 AM): Followed by the sound of it being kicked down the hall.
Y Ruler of Time (1:29:14 AM): Alex winces. "...Gonna have to repair that..."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:29:31 AM): "...you're going to have to explain what's going on."
Y Ruler of Time (1:30:07 AM): "I don't know," Alex heads out into the hall, "Marias is acting weird, and I'm pretty sure something bad is happening. Again."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:30:44 AM): "...hard to get worse than psychopathic dragon trying to kill us all."
Y Ruler of Time (1:32:22 AM): "Well, I guess we'll see...listen," he turns back to her, "I have to go...if...I end up missing or hurt or-" He stops.
Y Ruler of Time (1:32:39 AM): "...God I hate magic..."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:33:21 AM): She snorts. "I'd be a pretty terrible girlfriend if I didn't come with you." She crosses her arm.
Y Ruler of Time (1:34:09 AM): "...Well I think I'd be a pretty terrible boyfriend if I let you come."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:35:33 AM): She smirks. "And that is why I'm the one who's on top in this relationship, dear Alexander."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:35:58 AM): "Now, feel free to lead the way."
Y Ruler of Time (1:37:05 AM): "..." His head sinks, and he sighs. "Fine..."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:37:25 AM): She pats him on the head. "You're learning!"
Viewtiful Rekk (1:40:47 AM): Desdemona is waiting there, the Duel Disk at her feet. It looks dented, her shoes look scuffed.
Y Ruler of Time (1:41:46 AM): "Damn it!" Alex yells at her, a regular Duel Disk on his arm. "That's theft and property damage you freaking bitch!"
Viewtiful Rekk (1:42:05 AM): "..." She brings a hand to her mouth. "I apologize."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:44:59 AM): "I will reimburse you for the repairs after our duel concludes." She activates her Duel Disk. "Would that be satisfactory?"
Y Ruler of Time (1:45:22 AM): "Whatever! Let's get this over with!"
Viewtiful Rekk (1:45:58 AM): "Very well."
Viewtiful Rekk (1:46:51 AM): "By the way. For the sake of civility. My name is Desdemona."
Y Ruler of Time (1:47:26 AM): "...Great. This is some sort of demonic possession, isn't it?"
Viewtiful Rekk (1:47:52 AM): "More just a switch of image."
Y Ruler of Time (1:50:49 AM): Six cards leave Alex's deck.
Y Ruler of Time (2:04:41 AM): "I start by summoning Green Gadget (1400/600)," he declares, the clunky green machine appearing before him
Y Ruler of Time (2:05:07 AM): "Its effect activates, adding Red Gadget from my deck to my hand," he holds the card up before mixing it in with his other five cards.
Y Ruler of Time (2:05:12 AM): "One card facedown, end turn!"
Viewtiful Rekk (2:05:20 AM): "Machines, of course..." She draws.
Viewtiful Rekk (2:06:05 AM): "I'll summon Elemental Hero Neos Alius." (1900/1300)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:06:24 AM): "I will then set one card face down and end my turn."
Y Ruler of Time (2:06:40 AM): "...This is different," he muttered to himself, "hero, but..."
Y Ruler of Time (2:06:43 AM): "Draw!"
Viewtiful Rekk (2:06:58 AM): She smiles. "Like I said, change of image."
Y Ruler of Time (2:08:58 AM): "I summon Steamroid (1800/1800)!" the locomotive with eyes roars onto the field with a screeching whistle.
Viewtiful Rekk (2:10:47 AM): "Very well."
Y Ruler of Time (2:11:13 AM): "Steamroid, attack Neos Alius! Steam Rush!" The locomotive roars forward, its attack power rising (2300/1800).
Viewtiful Rekk (2:12:19 AM): "Mmn, I see..." The hero is destroyed. (7600)
Y Ruler of Time (2:12:46 AM): "Green Gadget..." the smaller machine charging forward, "direct attack!"
Viewtiful Rekk (2:13:00 AM): (6200)
Y Ruler of Time (2:14:04 AM): "End turn."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:14:11 AM): "Draw."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:17:26 AM): She scratches her chin.
Viewtiful Rekk (2:17:33 AM): "Elemental Hero Stratos." (1800/300)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:20:54 AM): She fans out her deck, and holds up Elemental Hero Cocoon Neos.
Y Ruler of Time (2:21:43 AM): "...A Neos deck..."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:21:51 AM): She smiles. "Indeed."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:22:29 AM): "But for now, I will merely have Stratos attack Steamroid."
Y Ruler of Time (2:23:13 AM): Steamroid's attack decreases (1300/1800), before it is blown away.
Y Ruler of Time (2:23:17 AM): (7500)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:23:41 AM): "I end my turn."
Y Ruler of Time (2:23:45 AM): "Draw.
Y Ruler of Time (2:25:30 AM): "...Activate Reasoning. Call a level...Desdemona."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:25:47 AM): She smiles. "Thank you."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:25:51 AM): "I will call level 4."
Y Ruler of Time (2:27:24 AM): Alex starts sifting through cards. Giant Mecha Shield, Mega Overdrive, Composite Mecha...
Y Ruler of Time (2:27:27 AM): And Jinzo.
Y Ruler of Time (2:28:09 AM): "Summon, the Android Psycho Shocker!" The green-armored android stands tall on the field (2400/1500)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:28:31 AM): "Ah, not bad at all..."
Y Ruler of Time (2:31:18 AM): "I'm far from done," Alex slaps a third monster on the Duel Disk, "Summon, Red Gadget (1300/1500)!"
Y Ruler of Time (2:31:40 AM): And, shortly after adding the Yellow one to his hand..."Jinzo, attack Airman!"
Viewtiful Rekk (2:32:41 AM): The Hero is blown away quite quickly. (4600)
Y Ruler of Time (2:33:37 AM): "Double Gadget Bash!" The two parts of the trio run forward and pummel Alex's opponent.
Viewtiful Rekk (2:34:28 AM): (1900)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:34:50 AM): Desdemona dusts herself off. "My my...you've taken very decisive control of this duel."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:36:28 AM): She smiles. "You're a very skilled duelist, Alexander."
Y Ruler of Time (2:36:36 AM): "I don't need you to remind me."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:37:01 AM): "You even defeated those two students...Hayden Zandel and Alastor Donovan, did you not?"
Y Ruler of Time (2:37:24 AM): "...I defeated Donovan twice, for the record."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:37:50 AM): "But...it didn't end up making much of a difference, did it?"
Y Ruler of Time (2:38:43 AM): "...My turn's done." Rather blunt subject change.
Viewtiful Rekk (2:39:16 AM): "...Did I reach a touchy subject?" She draws.
Y Ruler of Time (2:40:05 AM): "I've been pretty touchy in general lately."
Y Ruler of Time (2:40:11 AM): "...Um...wait..."
Y Ruler of Time (2:40:36 AM): "That...didn't come out quite right..."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:40:59 AM): She smiles. "I assure you, I understood."
Y Ruler of Time (2:41:19 AM): He looks sheepishly at Anna.
Viewtiful Rekk (2:41:41 AM): Silent head shake.
Viewtiful Rekk (2:43:05 AM): "Ah, but I digress. Elemental Hero Cocoon Neos." A young hero, surrounded by a pink cocoon appears. (1600/900)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:43:29 AM): "Sacrifice Cocoon Neos. Summon Elemental Hero Neos." The cocoon shatters, and the hero grows in size. (2500/2000)
Y Ruler of Time (2:44:13 AM): "Oh, crap..."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:44:18 AM): "I'll activate the spell Terraforming next."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:44:38 AM): She fans out her deck, before retrieving a card, and placing it into her disk. "Activate Advanced Neo-Space."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:44:58 AM): A blue cloud of space surrounds the arena. Neos's strength rises. (3000/2000)
Y Ruler of Time (2:45:04 AM): "...'Advanced' Neo Space?"
Viewtiful Rekk (2:45:49 AM): She nods. "It is different from the normal version."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:46:13 AM): "But I will explain it in entirety later." She points at the weaker gadget. "Neos, attack Red Gadget! Wrath of Neos!"
Y Ruler of Time (2:47:17 AM): 'Guh, she's keeping my trap useles...' The Gadget is Neos-chopped.
Y Ruler of Time (2:47:24 AM): (6300)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:47:40 AM): "End turn."
Y Ruler of Time (2:47:56 AM): "Draw..."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:49:36 AM): "You know...I saw your duel against Alastor Donovan."
Y Ruler of Time (2:49:59 AM): "...A lot of people saw my duel with Alastor Donovan. Stupid egomaniacal prick..."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:50:00 AM): "You were clearly the most skilled duelist there...a shame that he just turned and ran before you could prove that."
Y Ruler of Time (2:51:27 AM): "He got caught eventually. No harm done."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:51:53 AM): "But...that was thanks mostly to the efforts of your friends, wasn't it?"
Y Ruler of Time (2:52:36 AM): "..."
Y Ruler of Time (2:53:18 AM): "Green Gadget to defense, and one defender," he declares. "End turn."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:53:23 AM): "...draw."
Viewtiful Rekk (2:57:55 AM): "I will summon Advanced Neo-Spacian Black Panther." A caped panther appears and growls. (1000/500) > (1500/500)
Viewtiful Rekk (2:59:33 AM): "I think I could understand your situation...your have the skill to do what's required of you as a duelist, but because you were not born with the ability to cast magic, you're thrown to the wayside..."
Y Ruler of Time (3:00:23 AM): "Fuck magic," Alex snaps, "it's stupid and unnecessary and overcomplicates everything!"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:01:35 AM): "It's unnecessary merely because you cannot learn it?"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:01:55 AM): "I do believe it was magic that stopped Kazimir Farkas, Hayden Zandel, and Alastor Donovan..."
Y Ruler of Time (3:02:19 AM): "Kazimir Farkas was caught because normal people disabled him. It was magic that killed him."
Y Ruler of Time (3:02:59 AM): "Human society can operate with out it, people can live without it."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:03:23 AM): "Are you so sure?"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:03:32 AM): "Do you think magic only started existing this year at this academy?"
Y Ruler of Time (3:06:22 AM): "Magic cannot be controlled by all humans, at least as of yet. There's no order to it and it's easily abusable."
Y Ruler of Time (3:06:40 AM): "It's responsible for all the damage that it's responsible for repairing."
Y Ruler of Time (3:07:06 AM): *for causing
Viewtiful Rekk (3:08:33 AM): She smirks. "What an interesting view...Black Panther attacks Green Gadget."
Y Ruler of Time (3:09:14 AM): Green Gadget is slashed apart.
Viewtiful Rekk (3:10:24 AM): "Neos attacks Jinzo."
Y Ruler of Time (3:11:37 AM): Jinzo goes down. (5700)
Viewtiful Rekk (3:11:56 AM): "Set one reverse. End turn."
Y Ruler of Time (3:12:08 AM): "Draw!"
Y Ruler of Time (3:13:41 AM): "I summon Card Gunner (400/400)!"
Y Ruler of Time (3:14:58 AM): "I discard three cards from the top of my deck..." He holds up Yellow Gadget, Perfect Machine King, and Machine King Prototype as the machine beeps to life (1900/400).
Y Ruler of Time (3:16:40 AM): "Card Gunner..." the machine levels both arms at the Advanced Neo-Spacian. "Open fire!"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:23:15 AM): The Spacian is wiped out. "Hm..." (1500)
Y Ruler of Time (3:24:17 AM): "End turn."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:24:23 AM): "Draw."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:25:01 AM): She sighs. "I do so hate using cards that aren't my own, but..."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:25:14 AM): She slips a card into her disk, and a familiar android appears on her field. (2400/1500)
Y Ruler of Time (3:25:23 AM): "...What?"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:25:30 AM): "Spell Card - Monster Reborn."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:27:29 AM): "And for my normal summon, I will summon Advanced Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin." (1100/800)
Viewtiful Rekk (3:27:48 AM): "Neos. Aqua Dolphin. Contact Fusion." The two warriors shoot up into the air.
Viewtiful Rekk (3:28:47 AM): There is a large flash as the two collide into each other. "I summon Evil Hero Aqua Neos." (3000/2000)
Viewtiful Rekk (3:29:44 AM): "Aqua Neos's effect. By showing you one card in my hand..." She shows Spacia Gift. "I may look at your hand and destroy one card of the same type."
Y Ruler of Time (3:30:38 AM): "...I see. Evil versions of the Neo-Spacians and Contact Fusions..."
Y Ruler of Time (3:31:35 AM): He flips his hand around, revealing Yellow Gadget, Machine King Prototype, Motor Factory, and Mystical Space Typhoon
Viewtiful Rekk (3:32:48 AM): Aqua Neos points a hand, and a burst of water shoots out and crushes Mystical Space Typhoon.
Viewtiful Rekk (3:33:16 AM): "Let me ask you something, Alexander..."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:33:32 AM): "How do you feel about your friends who make use of magic regularly?"
Y Ruler of Time (3:34:13 AM): "Why do you fucking care!?"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:35:56 AM): "You say so much that you hate magic...but they are, without a doubt, your friends, aren't they? It confuses me a bit."
Y Ruler of Time (3:37:59 AM): "Shut UP!"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:39:08 AM): "One would think you resent their capability to use magic, but...in that case, why would you consider them your friends?"
Y Ruler of Time (3:42:09 AM): "So I know half a dozen decent people with magical abilities; that doesn't erase the fact that every bit of trouble I've been through in the past several months has been connected to magic."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:43:23 AM): "And you mean to tell me you don't resent that they're capable of doing what you're not?" She asks. "By all rights, if it weren't for their use of magic, you would be the hero, not them."
Y Ruler of Time (3:44:22 AM): "..."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:47:21 AM): "Instead, you're seen as the one who runs and hides when the real fighting starts..."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:48:25 AM): "You wore the Dis-Belt. You won Alastor Donovan's tournament. But did any credit come to you?"
Y Ruler of Time (3:48:34 AM): "That's...I..."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:49:02 AM): "What is it, Alexander?"
Y Ruler of Time (3:49:21 AM): "........Anna gave me credit."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:50:12 AM): Desdemona glances up at the Obelisk. "...one person."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:50:20 AM): "Don't you think you deserved a bit more than that?"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:50:37 AM): "Alexander, she's trying to mess with your head! For God's sake, don't fall for it!"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:50:49 AM): "She has a Duel Spirit as well, you know."
Y Ruler of Time (3:50:59 AM): "..." He turns to her, "You do?"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:51:12 AM): "That's idiocy. Of course I don't."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:51:33 AM): Desdemona chants something in an inhuman language for a moment, before a bright light falls on Anna.
Viewtiful Rekk (3:51:54 AM): Behind her is the massive unmistakable form of the Rainbow Dragon.
Y Ruler of Time (3:52:06 AM): "..." Alex stares upward.
Viewtiful Rekk (3:52:09 AM): "...what in the world...?" She looks up at the spirit.
Y Ruler of Time (3:53:08 AM): "...She does..."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:53:38 AM): "Alexander, if this is even real, which I severely doubt." The dragon lets out an almost...offended gasp.
Viewtiful Rekk (3:53:54 AM): "It doesn't mean anything! So there's a Duel Spirit! Don't let her get inside your head!"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:54:11 AM): "You know what kind of person she is."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:54:19 AM): "How do you know she won't seek out her own Avatar Seal now?"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:54:47 AM): "The Rainbow Dragon is an intensely powerful Duel Spirit. Mastering its Avatar Seal would bring untold power. Perfection, some would say."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:54:59 AM): "...Does that not sound like something she would seek?"
Y Ruler of Time (3:55:01 AM): "...Everyone's got it but me..."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:55:18 AM): "You rotten...! ALEXANDER, DON'T LISTEN!"
Viewtiful Rekk (3:56:51 AM): "You're being left behind, Alexander."
Y Ruler of Time (3:57:34 AM): 'I'm weak...I'm weak...'
Viewtiful Rekk (3:58:33 AM): Desdemona's eyes have started to glow ever so slightly. "Do not let them marginalize your abilities, your potential, Alexander."
Viewtiful Rekk (3:59:06 AM): "You allow yourself to be shoved aside, but you're capable of matching everything they're capable of and doing more."
Y Ruler of Time (3:59:38 AM): "...What are you talking about?"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:00:04 AM): "You're much like another student I've met..."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:00:22 AM): "You both have unparalleled technological brilliance, but you're stuck in an environment that only fosters magical achievements."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:00:54 AM): "I could show you..." She holds a hand out. "How to make use of that potential."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:01:12 AM): "How to prove yourself. How to take revenge on those that have hurt you and pushed you aside."
Y Ruler of Time (4:02:02 AM): "...I don't...don't need revenge," he sounds uncertain, and distracted.
Y Ruler of Time (4:03:01 AM): "...If...if it's possible...I can figure it out, anyway..."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:03:22 AM): "...but do you want it? That is what's important."
Y Ruler of Time (4:04:10 AM): "No, I...I don't...no...I don't, no...I don't know..."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:04:50 AM): "Search your heart, you know it to be true."
Y Ruler of Time (4:05:20 AM): "..." he looks up at her. "...That...was kinda lame..."
Y Ruler of Time (4:05:30 AM): He sounds pretty certain about that part.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:05:51 AM): "..." She waves a hand. "It seemed appropriate. But that's not important right now."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:08:28 AM): "You said you hate magic. Where does that leave the people who use it."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:08:44 AM): "The magic is just a tool. Should the blame not fall to the user?"
Y Ruler of Time (4:10:45 AM): "..." His gaze wanders to Anna, and his look, progressively looking more unfocused, shifts between compassion and hatred.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:11:39 AM): "...Alexander...?"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:12:27 AM): "How do you know that her quest for perfection is not more important to her than you?"
Y Ruler of Time (4:13:04 AM): He turns his head to look down, and he thinks for a moment. Listlessly, he answers. "...I don't."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:13:17 AM): "..." Anna frowns.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:13:30 AM): Three seconds later, a shoe is smacking Alex upside the head.
Y Ruler of Time (4:13:46 AM): "Unh!"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:13:58 AM): "How dare you, Alexander Hawkeye?"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:14:32 AM): "It's one thing to be turned against all those assorted people in the rest of the school that make up your friends."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:14:52 AM): "But how could you believe that I could be turned against you?!"
Y Ruler of Time (4:15:07 AM): "...Anna..."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:15:23 AM): "There is a very simple reason why what she says is a lie."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:15:28 AM): "I could never leave you behind."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:15:51 AM): She points a finger at him ."Because as long as I continue forward, I know that you will be striving to surpass me, just as I am you!"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:16:06 AM): "You push me to become stronger. I push you to become stronger."
Y Ruler of Time (4:17:15 AM): "..." Alex slowly grins, and stands straight, looking across the field at Desdemona. "...She's right. Of course she's right."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:17:38 AM): There's the smallest shadow of a frown on Desdemona's face.
Y Ruler of Time (4:18:09 AM): "We're both like that, aren't we? Great, but not the best. At least not yet. But we're determined to get there under our own power."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:18:30 AM): "Of course, you idiot."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:18:34 AM): "How could you think anything else?"
Y Ruler of Time (4:18:51 AM): "Anna...regardless of what happens. Next...I just want to tell you, that in this moment, I'm certain...I love you."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:19:07 AM): Anna blinks. And blushes just the tiniest bit.
Y Ruler of Time (4:19:40 AM): "Marias...Desdemona...Whatever! Take your turn. So that I can beat you!"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:19:52 AM): "Very well."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:20:16 AM): "Jinzo, attack the Card Trooper. Cyber Energy Shockwave."
Y Ruler of Time (4:21:03 AM): A blast of energy blasts the Gunner, and Alex shields his face with his arms. (4700)
Y Ruler of Time (4:22:10 AM): "Gunner is destroyed, so I draw one card!"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:22:11 AM): "Aqua Neos, attack directly." The hero shoots a stream of hyper-pressurized water at Alex.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:22:34 AM): "Aqua Neos, attack the defense." The hero shoots a stream of hyper-pressurized water at the defending monster.
Y Ruler of Time (4:23:27 AM): A red-plated spherical machine appears briefly, before the burst of water blows it apart.
Y Ruler of Time (4:23:38 AM): "Motor Shell is destroyed, and therefore..."
Y Ruler of Time (4:24:01 AM): A small motor with four limbs appears in its place. "One Motor Token (200/200) is summoned to my field!"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:27:15 AM): "I end my turn."
Y Ruler of Time (4:28:07 AM): "Draw!"
Y Ruler of Time (4:34:50 AM): "...Let's do this...activate Pot of Avarice!" Alex holds his Duel Disk out, and a faced, purple pot with jewels for teeth appears around his deck.
Y Ruler of Time (4:35:57 AM): "I shuffle Machine King Prototype, Steamroid, Card Gunner, Green Gadget, and Motor Shell into my deck..." he holds the five cards up, and places them at the pot's mouth before they are gobbled up.
Y Ruler of Time (4:36:15 AM): "...And draw two cards!" he reaches into the top of the pot, and pulls two cards out.
Y Ruler of Time (4:46:47 AM): "Is that Ohm will be there to lend me power! Summon, Demonic Motor - OMEGA!!!!!!"
Viewtiful Rekk (4:47:42 AM): "...ah. The infamous 'Ohm'..."
Y Ruler of Time (4:47:52 AM): The gigantic, bladed, crimson machine rises up, looming over the field (2800/2000)."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:47:54 AM): "That's more like it..."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:49:49 AM): "Unfortunately, even with its effect, you come a scarce 100 points short of defeating me."
Y Ruler of Time (4:50:49 AM): "..." Alex holds up the remaining four cards in his hand. "Stupid manipulating fucking possessive bitch! You only know what two of the other cards in my hand are!"
Y Ruler of Time (4:51:10 AM): "Equip card, Demonic Engine!"
Y Ruler of Time (4:51:50 AM): Ohm's chest opens up, and a tremendous engine is inserted into its chest, which promptly causes the mecha to roar dangerously. (3600/2000).
Viewtiful Rekk (4:51:52 AM): "..." She seems a bit hurt by his words.
Y Ruler of Time (4:52:43 AM): "Maybe I can't fight, maybe I can't heal, maybe I can't stop people...but know this! I'm the best at dueling on this entire goddamn island, AND I'M GONNA PROVE IT!"
Y Ruler of Time (4:53:33 AM): "Effect activate!" (4600/2000) "Ohm!" The tremendous machine pulls back a bladed arm.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:54:51 AM): "...I see."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:55:06 AM): "And you're sure that's enough."
Y Ruler of Time (4:56:19 AM): "...Damn right."
Y Ruler of Time (4:56:48 AM): He raises his arm up. "OMEGA..."
Viewtiful Rekk (4:58:01 AM): She holds up a hand.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:58:12 AM): Darkness begins to curl around the arena.
Viewtiful Rekk (4:58:17 AM): "Please wait one moment."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:00:01 AM): Eventually, darkness has completely enshrouded the two. Anna and the monsters are nowhere to be seen.
Y Ruler of Time (5:00:25 AM): Alex looks around in confusion. "What'd you do!?"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:00:57 AM): "I merely wish to show you something, and see if you're still so sure afterwards."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:01:06 AM): Her eyes glow brightly. She points behind Alex.
Y Ruler of Time (5:05:13 AM): He blinks once, before complying, turning around.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:05:54 AM): He sees himself, waves of electricity running through his body.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:06:03 AM): He then falls, in front of the form of Hayden Zandel.
Y Ruler of Time (5:06:46 AM): "..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:06:59 AM): She then points to the side. "There."
Y Ruler of Time (5:07:15 AM): He turns once more, obediently.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:07:42 AM): Alastor Donovan beats him unconscious and leaves him, as Lily Sakuma stands against him and challenges him to a duel.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:08:43 AM): Before he can react, Desdemona gestures in another direction.
Y Ruler of Time (5:09:09 AM): He grits his teeth and looks down, refusing to watch.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:09:15 AM): "Alexander."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:09:33 AM): "You need to see this." Her eyes glow almost like fires now.
Y Ruler of Time (5:09:48 AM): "I don't need to subject myself to your goddamned mind games!"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:10:13 AM): "Why? Because you already know?"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:10:51 AM): The sounds of Alastor's first Shadow Game with Alex reach his ears. "You already know that despite your resolve, despite your skill as a duelist, it merely doesn't matter?"
Y Ruler of Time (5:10:58 AM): "Of course I already know! It's my memories you're pulling these from, isn't it?"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:13:40 AM): She calmly walks across the field, and puts her hand under Alex's chin, gently but firmly forcing him to look. "If you're so sure, then you should have no problem looking through these memories again."
Y Ruler of Time (5:14:20 AM): "Get-get off of me!"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:15:10 AM): "Just look."
Y Ruler of Time (5:15:50 AM): He stubbornly closes his eyes.
Y Ruler of Time (5:16:12 AM): "I don
Y Ruler of Time (5:16:18 AM): t...I don't want to..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:17:04 AM): She frowns. "So stubborn..." Her fingers glow for a brief second as she flicks Alex on both eyes once, sticking them open.
Y Ruler of Time (5:18:11 AM): "Stop it..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:18:25 AM): By this point, the memory has reached the point where Alastor breaks out of the Shadow Game and escapes. However.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:18:42 AM): This time, rather than flying off, he shoots forward and slashes into Alex's stomach with one of his wings.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:18:49 AM): "What if this had happened instead?"
Y Ruler of Time (5:20:32 AM): "He...he could've killed me...any time he wanted."
Y Ruler of Time (5:20:47 AM): "And when I fell unconscious...Hayden too..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:20:57 AM): "It was only the fact that Alastor Donovan happened to possess a sense of honor that stopped it."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:21:02 AM): "But it is not just you."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:21:36 AM): Things start shifting again, to Alex's second duel with Alastor, again, Alastor has activated his Avatar Seal, but this time, he strikes out at Alex and the other duelists.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:21:50 AM): One of his attacks strikes Anna, and she goes flying over the edge of the platform.
Y Ruler of Time (5:22:06 AM): "No..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:22:07 AM): "Your future enemies will not possess a similar honor."
Y Ruler of Time (5:22:47 AM): Tears gather at the corners of his eyes. "Stop it..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:23:25 AM): She pulls her hand back, and wipes away one of his tears. "Because of magic."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:23:47 AM): "And you will be completely unable to stop it."
Y Ruler of Time (5:23:55 AM): "...That's what I've been saying..."
Y Ruler of Time (5:24:23 AM): He doesn't look away.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:25:57 AM): "..." She begins moving backwards. "If you want to stop such a thing from happening, my offer still stands."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:26:03 AM): "I believe you know what is necessary."
Y Ruler of Time (5:26:36 AM): He stands alone, staring unblinking as the images loop before him.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:27:14 AM): The images slowly fade into static as the darkness pulls back.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:27:23 AM): "ander...xander....ALEXANDER!"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:27:31 AM): Another shoe is flying at him.
Y Ruler of Time (5:28:00 AM): It hits him in the head again.
Y Ruler of Time (5:28:31 AM): "...Out of shoes," he remarks, smiling mirthlessly.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:28:50 AM): "You've been standing there mid-sentence like an idiot for a full five minutes!"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:28:56 AM): "What's gotten into you?!"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:29:21 AM): Desdemona merely smiles a bit. "She's correct, Alexander. It's still your turn."
Y Ruler of Time (5:29:29 AM): "..." He stares at Desdemona, and raises his arm again.
Y Ruler of Time (5:29:52 AM): The Demonic Motor raises its bladed arm high, bearing down on Jinzo.
Y Ruler of Time (5:30:01 AM): "End turn."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:30:15 AM): "WHAT?!"
Y Ruler of Time (5:30:28 AM): Omega stops in its tracks, looking almost bewildered, before exploding.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:30:35 AM): Desdemona smiles. "Draw."
Y Ruler of Time (5:30:59 AM): "This is the only way," he continues smiling, nodding to himself. "The only way..."
Y Ruler of Time (5:31:10 AM): (4700)
Viewtiful Rekk (5:31:58 AM): "Jinzo and Aqua Neos attack directly."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:32:10 AM): Jinzo fires a shockwave of energy. Aqua Neos fires a wave of pressurized water.
Y Ruler of Time (5:32:51 AM): Alex bends his knees against the blows, standing his ground as they wash over him. (0000) And he begins to chuckle.
Y Ruler of Time (5:33:23 AM): "...Of course, of course...yes...ooh, there's another..." He seems to be talking to himself.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:34:14 AM): Anna is now running down the stairs in her socks, before forcefully spinning Alexander around.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:34:23 AM): "Would you mind telling me just what the HELL is wrong with you?!"
Y Ruler of Time (5:35:26 AM): "...Nothing's wrong, Annie," he says brightly, grinning, "I feel...perfect."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:35:33 AM): "..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:36:00 AM): "...Alexander...what the...?" Anna seems somewhat bewildered at Alex acting in a decidedly not-Alex way
Y Ruler of Time (5:37:20 AM): "You know, I've been thinking about that...you always calling me by my full name," he reaches out to cup her chin, "aren't we closer than that?"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:38:19 AM): "..." She stares at him for a moment. "...what on Earth's gotten into you, Alexander?"
Polk Kitsune (5:38:35 AM): From the distance, from Desdaemona's back, a slow clapping sound could be heard. Meso was grinning widely at the scene...
Viewtiful Rekk (5:39:31 AM): Desdemona turns back, and smiles, but brings a finger to her mouth to indicate that silence was necessary.
Y Ruler of Time (5:40:28 AM): "'Gotten into' me? It's nothing to be concerned about..." he brings his other hand up to grip her right hip. "I just figured it out...How great I can be..."
Polk Kitsune (5:40:29 AM): The boy's hands stopped, and simply smiled, looking mischievously at her, giving a low nod.
Y Ruler of Time (5:40:43 AM): "I feel smarter, stronger, more confident..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:41:02 AM): "...get your hands off me."
Y Ruler of Time (5:41:30 AM): "..." he frowns, "What's your problem?"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:42:08 AM): "Beside you going from winning that duel to throwing it for no reason and that acting like a fool!?"
Y Ruler of Time (5:43:09 AM): He snorts, before releasing her...so that he can remove his deck from his Duel Disk. "I just came to a realization...this deck was based on me relying on a card...I don't need that."
Y Ruler of Time (5:43:33 AM): "Why would I want to win a duel that way? It's pathetic..." He tosses the deck, the cards spilling across the floor.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:44:06 AM): "...what?" She stares at his deck, before picking it up herself.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:44:47 AM): "But...you...how many duels have you won because of this card?!" She holds up Demonic Motor - Omega. "How many duels have you won because of...'Ohm'?!"
Y Ruler of Time (5:45:38 AM): He scoffs. "Please...now you're sympathizing with an imaginary friend. Grow up."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:46:27 AM): "What...but...it's your friend!"
Y Ruler of Time (5:46:40 AM): "Another reason you shouldn't be caring."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:46:48 AM): Anna is, for the first time in her life, completely speechless, and she does not enjoy it.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:47:12 AM): "You." She snarls, and immediately shoves past Alex and stomps over to Desdemona. "What did you do to him!?"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:48:05 AM): "Ah, Miss Mustang, calm down..." "SHUT UP!" She snaps. "Just shut up and change him back right now!"
Y Ruler of Time (5:48:28 AM): Behind her, Alex waves his arms in a crossing motion and shakes his head.
Polk Kitsune (5:49:09 AM): Meso simply tilted his head, and grinned, holding back a snicker.
Viewtiful Rekk (5:49:19 AM): Desdemona sighs. "Miss Mustang..." Her finger glows for a second, before she touches her palm to Anna's forehead. "As I said...please calm down."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:49:39 AM): "...ugh..." With that, Anna falls to the floor in a heap, and is out cold seconds later.
Y Ruler of Time (5:50:52 AM): "...Really, society..." Alex frowns, and stands over her. "It's like a family that won't accept it when a kid comes out. People change, y'know? Accept it..."
Y Ruler of Time (5:51:15 AM): "Nothing's wrong with me...no, for once...everything's right."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:51:24 AM): Desdemona smiles. "Well put, Alexander."
Y Ruler of Time (5:51:36 AM): "Not you too. Come on, aren't we all friends here?"
Y Ruler of Time (5:52:30 AM): "...Well, actually, I still find you two to be very creepy. No offense."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:52:45 AM): "None taken."
Polk Kitsune (5:52:52 AM): "Why thank you. Thank you very much."
Y Ruler of Time (5:54:11 AM): "Okay, Desi," he claps his hands together, "you did me a nice favor...but I know there's gotta be something ya want back from me. What is it?"
Viewtiful Rekk (5:55:14 AM): She smiles. "Less a catch, more an opportunity."
Y Ruler of Time (5:55:59 AM): "I like the sound of that..."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:56:04 AM): "My king and I..." She gestures to Meso. "We need a few things built...it will require you work with someone else, but I'm positive that together the two of you can handle it."
Y Ruler of Time (5:56:35 AM): "Consider it done."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:57:00 AM): She smiles and bows a bit. "I thank you, Alexander."
Y Ruler of Time (5:57:23 AM): He snaps his fingers. "There you go again, cut that out...You're sounding like Annie now."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:57:35 AM): "Very well...Alex."
Polk Kitsune (5:57:52 AM): Meso mimicked the bow. "Thank you... Alex-san. You won't regret it."
Y Ruler of Time (5:59:31 AM): "...Alex Hawkeye was the person you showed me, Desi...I'm not that person anymore. Let's try...Xander. He had an eyepatch, you know, plus it just sounds cooler."
Y Ruler of Time (5:59:42 AM): "Starts with an 'x' and everything."
Viewtiful Rekk (5:59:54 AM): "..." She chuckles a bit. "Alright, Xander."
Y Ruler of Time (6:00:30 AM): "Thanks...So; when and where do I start?"
Polk Kitsune (6:00:46 AM): The boy grinned. "A fitting name, really."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:00:53 AM): "I'll have to do some research first...but I'll call you as soon as possible."
Y Ruler of Time (6:01:14 AM): "Take your time...I have some stuff I need to work on now..."
Polk Kitsune (6:02:12 AM): Munos took a moment, looking down at the unconscious girl. "..." He smacked his lips a bit. "Now what should we do with her?" He said, raising an eyebrow at Xander.
Y Ruler of Time (6:02:32 AM): "..." He shrugs. "She'll be fine."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:02:48 AM): "...Mmm, she seemed quite displeased..."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:03:43 AM): She leans down and twirls the girl's brown hair in her finger for a moment. "Perhaps I should have a conversation with her when she wakes up..."
Polk Kitsune (6:04:34 AM): "Over a cup of tea and cookies, I supose?" He said, eyebrow raised. "We can't just let her run loose..."
Y Ruler of Time (6:04:36 AM): Xander reaches down and slaps her hand away. "I think-" he pauses, the fierce look on his face slowly relapsing into a grin again, "...that will be unnecessary."
Rakath Chaos (6:05:09 AM): Three gold halos float in and fly in front of each of the conscious folk.
Viewtiful Rekk (6:05:38 AM): "..." Desdemona blinks. This magic is...angelic?!
Polk Kitsune (6:05:59 AM): Meso scowled a bit. "Damn..."
Y Ruler of Time (6:05:59 AM): Xander whirls around. "Who's there!?"
Rakath Chaos (6:06:02 AM): Amy floats down and lands next to Anna, "Eh... I think I'll solve this for you guys."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:06:17 AM): Desdemona glares at her.
Rakath Chaos (6:06:22 AM): "Since... I'm confused as to who is on my side right now, I think she's a safe bet though." Amy is drawing on the ground.
Polk Kitsune (6:06:46 AM): "Of course... The Holier-than-thou bitch..."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:06:47 AM): "I do not think you wi-" She's stopped as a massive dragon roars loudly at her, managing to actually shake the arena.
Y Ruler of Time (6:07:36 AM): "..." Xander looks sourly at Desdemona. "Bring the 4000-attack point dragon Duel Spirit out of dormancy. Brilliant idea."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:07:39 AM): "Ngh..!" Desdemona brings up an arm. That dragon's pressure is immense...!
Viewtiful Rekk (6:07:58 AM): "It was always there, I just showed it to you!"
Rakath Chaos (6:08:11 AM): "Byebye now," the ground under Amy and Anna shatters, it looks like an old shrine is underneith the pair... but sideways. As the two fall through the perfectly circular hole.
Rakath Chaos (6:08:13 AM): Once both are through, the hole fades. However the hole was not sized for the Dragon.
Polk Kitsune (6:09:10 AM): Meso's eye twitched. "Dammit... Bring the wrong body to the wrong moment."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:09:24 AM): The dragon growls in anger after it's unable to fit, but lowers its nose to the hole before it can fade.
Viewtiful Rekk (6:09:33 AM): It then shoots from the arena and into the sky.
Y Ruler of Time (6:15:07 AM): "...Stupid showoffy fairy bitch."
Polk Kitsune (6:10:39 AM): "... I suppose that is one more thing we'll need to take care of."
Polk Kitsune (6:10:57 AM): The boy said as he watched the dragon take for the sky.
Viewtiful Rekk (6:12:06 AM): "...in...deed..."
Polk Kitsune (6:13:00 AM): He gave a low growl. "Means I've got someone I need to release soon." He pondered a moment. "Make that two."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:13:35 AM): She sighs. "But...besides that..."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:13:45 AM): She puts an arm around him. "...Have I done well so far, my king?"
Polk Kitsune (6:15:02 AM): "Mmnnn." He smirks, wrapping his arms around her. "Splendid. Watching you in this duel reminds me of the best in you. Why I love you so."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:16:23 AM): "Ah...I'm so glad you think so..." She says, smiling widely.
Y Ruler of Time (6:16:49 AM): "Get a room..." Xander walks off, heading back to his room.
Polk Kitsune (6:18:04 AM): He grinned, giving a side glance at Xander. "Love how you played him... like a violin..."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:18:10 AM): "Ah, Xander, before you go."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:18:30 AM): "The student you'll be working with will by Mylene Batolli. You don't have a problem with that, do you?"
Y Ruler of Time (6:19:08 AM): "Nah, I had a sneakin' suspicion that's who you were talking about."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:21:25 AM): "Aah, I see..."
Polk Kitsune (6:21:57 AM): "We'll have quite the project, don't you worry about it... It'll be a blast."
Viewtiful Rekk (6:24:07 AM): -------------------------------------------------------------------------
