Yu-Gi-Oh! Hearts of Darkness *Reboot* [IC/PG-13/Started/Not Accepting]

[Kohakuchan19]

[i][b]"W...What have I done....?"[/b][/i] Amber stepped away as Aemily started to cry.. She didn't want to hurt her feelings, but she didn't want to lose Leon either. [b]"... What did I do wrong just now..? I'm so confused..."[/b]

And she really was, she hadn't really been in the position before.

[color=#000080][b]"It's not you sis.." [/b][/color]Seth stated. [b][color=#000080]"She's doing what even the nicest girls would do when their crush turns out to have a girlfriend... I don't want to say she's acting out to make you look bad.. but... that's kind of what she's doing right now..."[/color][/b]
[b]"But Seth... what if she and Leon are like You and me..? Maybe they're like siblings too... I just made a boo boo..." [/b]
[b][color=#000080]"Oh great... Not that kid talk Amber you always-"[/color][/b]
[b]"Waaaaaaaaaaaah!"[/b]
[b][color=#000080]"Cry soon after..." [/color][/b]Seth sighed and looked to Leon [color=#000080][b]"I don't know what to do about your 'little sister' over there.. but you need to talk to her.. explain to her what's going on and what you two have been through.. maybe then she'll understand..."[/b][/color]

Zebulos could not ignore his holder's crying for long, but he also could not ignore giving number 13 an answer.
[color=#008080][i]".... My number is 93.... I don't remember much about myself back then... All I know is that I sacrificed myself to save another number... I threw myself into the beast's maw in an effort to rescue someone I cared for... and still care for to this day... Sadly.. It turns out that my past holder perished as I did... Amber and I have that kind of link to each other it seems... If I can avoid repeating the same fate for Amber's sake, I am open to ideas.."[/i][/color]

A deadly silence fell over the room as the girls began to cry. Its as if the universe itself came together to troll Dorian and Co. That being said the only thing left to do was to continue watching the fallout of this trainwreck. At that point Dorian and the others listened to Seth be the voice of reason, which of course moved him up on the to kill list. But as Seth spoke Dorian felt a little put off by something but he couldn't out his finger on it. Then Illuminknight and Anansi both took turns talking without actually looking at Dorian.

[color=#daa520]Leon tells Emily about their situation[/color]
[color=#a52a2a]Emily ask Leon about the other two boyfriends[/color]
[color=#daa520]Leon ask Emily about that statement[/color]
[color=#a52a2a]Emily tells Leon about her new friend Dorian[/color]
They both say in unison [color=#a52a2a]Emily[/color] [color=#daa520]knows[/color] [color=#A52A2A]where [/color][color=#daa520]Dorian[/color] [color=#a52a2a]lives[/color].

[color=#ff8c00]"Oh...yeah...that sounds about right.[/color]"

[Merci]

A maniacal grin formed on Tron’s face as he heard the words. It was all coming together. He laughed crazily.

The Numbers. The Dragon Lords. The Sky Beast.

Everything was coming together…

The key had been Josep all along. He was the ‘guard’.

Tron’s laugh slowly condescended into a chuckle, and then he summoned up a vortex from space. He reached his hand into it, and out came a box. It was a box. An ornate box decorated with strange symbols, all resembling the numbers from Zero to Nine. He opened it.

In it was the result of most of his hard work. In it…lay [i][b][i][b]tons [/b][/i]of Number cards.[/b][/i] And the rest of them………….were all among the finalists, unaware of their impending fate.

The box shook heavily as the Numbers trapped within all screeched out, a nonsensical screeching that could only mean a bad thing.

The Dragon Lords and the Numbers. The Balian World and the Astral World. Each and every one of them locked within the Duelists of the Human World. In truth, Tron was not merely a distorted Byron Arclight. He was something so much more than that. He was the [i]herald.[/i]

The boy once more exploded into laughter, a chaotic amalgam incapable of absolute comprehension.

[Shadius]

The kid gulped at the impressive field on the other side of the field, his chances weren't exactly the best and he was relying upon his top card for a way out. [color=#006400]"My.. my turn" [/color]the kid stuttered, his sweat dripping down into his final card, which was a monster he simply set and then without a second later, he ended his turn.

Demetri could only smirk as he drew his next card, it meant a certain friend was going to make an appearance. With in the short period of the boy's turn it seemed as if their little duel as created a crowd. "[color=#ff0000]G[/color][color=#ff0000]o ahead, call me out Demetri. We can show them all what it means to be perfect. [/color]Demetri could only nod, it was time to end this. "I'll summon my Tour Guide from the Underworld, and with her effect I can call upon another Tour Guide from my Hand or Deck!" Without another wasted breathe one could see a tour bus quickly pull up onto the field. From with in two demons with the appearance of a girl stepped out, each giggling a bit at the boy in front of them. "Next I will overlay them to bring out my ace monster, Number 47: Vision of Perfection, Adonis!" The girls quickly meshed into each other, from which emerged a giant flash of bright light. From with in, a tall muscular man walked out wearing a roman-styled toga covered in long curly blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Now then, now that Adonis has arrived my perfection has been obtained. Now using his effect, I can detach one XYZ material off him to destroy any card on the field!" Adonis raised his hand and without a moment to spare the boy's face down monster completely shattered. "Now, to finish this! Adonis, attack him directly, smite his unworthy soul!" In a flash the duel was over, the boy's lifepoints hit zero as he hit the floor and a Heart Piece slide across the floor to Demetri's feet. "Once again a easy win, once again another fool should of regretted challenging me." Picking up the Heart Piece and placing it into his frame, the man had finished his heart and placed it back in his pocket before turning towards the small crowd that were blathering about some nonsense. "Now, what the hell is going on here?"

[Durandamon]

Leon looked confused when Seth said that Emily was acting - [color=#800080]"Acting? C-Crush!? Emi doesn't have a crush on me! We are just friends...well..." [/color]- Leon walked toward Emily and hugged her tightly. She didn't want to see her or Amber cry, and had to make things right. - [color=#800080]"Don't cry. At least tell me...is Seth lying or not?"[/color] - Emily looked up to Leon in response, and buried her crying face in his chest - [color=#800080]"Emi...I had no idea. But we are so close...I love you, because you are my little sister. That will never change." [/color]- those words made Emily stop her cries. Leon then walked toward Amber, wiped her tears and kissed her - [color=#800080]"Don't cry, Ammie. You did nothing wrong..."[/color] - Emily just stood there, feeling betrayed - [color=#ff0066]"B-But...I...You don't understand! She has another boyfriends!"[/color] - Leon took a few steps back and looked at Emily with confusion - [color=#800080]"What was that?"[/color] - [color=#ff0066]"My new friend Dorian told me, of course! He said she has three boyfriends!"[/color]
[color=#800080]"DORIAN!? Where did you meet Dorian!?"[/color]
[color=#ff0066]"He lives right above me, how else would I know him? He is also in the WDC...do you guys know him too?" [/color]- Emily said, unaware of Dorian's true intentions.

[color=#ff8c00]"93? I remember him...a brave warrior indeed. He sacrificed himself for one of us, who was really close to him. I don't know how to save you, but if you are as brave as the last 93, you will give some battle."[/color]

[AkatsukiPride!]

"Not so fast!" Mikey said. "When you attack, I play D - Counter. This negates your attack and destroy's your monster. [color=#8b4513]Diamond Dude lives to see another turn![/color]" he said, as Diamond Dude glowed with a bright light, and Neo's attacking monster was destroyed. "And now its my turn! Draw! (Hand: 3) [color=#8b4513]Also, Diamond's effect lets us active the effect of Reinforcements of the Army. So I add myself to our hand!" [/color]Dogma announced, revealing his card and putting it into Mikey's hand. "Once again I activate Diamond Dude's effect. I reveal--Destiny Draw! So next turn I can use it's effect." Mikey grinned. "And now I normal summon E-Hero Avian, but he wont be staying for long! Dogma, take it from here!" Mikey's eyes changed colors, becoming a deep brown, as he raised a card into the air. The D on his hand began to glow intensely again. "[color=#8b4513]Sure thing! By tributing all three of these monsters, Diamond Dude, Avian, and D-Hero Defender, I can Special Summon myself to the field, front and center!" [/color]Dogma's booming voice echoed around and the three monsters swirled into a brown vortex, and in a blast of dark energy, Dogma appeared majestically on the field, sword raised. Mikey mirrored his position. His wings had also reappeared, and were spread like Dogma's. "[color=#8b4513]Pretty[/color] nifty, [color=#8b4513]huh[/color]?" they asked together. (ATK: 3400) "Now, I'll take precautions and use Cyclone Blade, equipping it to Dogma. [color=#8b4513]Thanks for the boost!" [/color]Mikey slapped the card down, and Dogma's gauntlet morphed into a giant shuriken-like blade. Strangely enough, so did Mikey's. "Huh. Cool. Anyway, attack!" In an odd event, Dogma turned and faced Mikey, and then disappeared. Dogma's armor somewhat appeared on Mikey, and he smiled. Mikey jumped up, wings beating, blade spinning, and dived towards Neo. He hesitated before attacking him, and simply hit him with the side of the giant blade. (Neo: 6000->2400) "Sorry," he said. "[color=#8b4513]Anyway, now the effect of Cyclone Blade allowing us to bust that face-down of yours.[/color]" Dogma/Mikey turned and faced the set card, and cut right through it, destroying it. "I guess I'll end with a face-down."

Mikey stats:
Hand: 0
Front Row: Dogma
Back Row: Cyclone Blade, 1 set
Grave: Diamond Dude, Avian, Defender, R.O.T.A., Destiny Draw
LP: 6000
Will activate during next turn: Destiny Draw

[i]Woah! Dogma, this is awesome. [/i]
[color=#8B4513][i]I thought you'd like to try on a duel monster's shoes. Since me and you are perfectly synced right now, I don't think you'll be able to hear the others.[/i][/color]
[i]Ok then. This is still awesome![/i]

Blazey mainly stayed quiet during the confrontation, but when Amelia brought up Amber's possibility of having three boyfriends, she got upset. "Three boyfriends? C'mon, does Amber seem like that kind of person? Amber's a great girl! She'd never do that! I understand how you'd be upset though, seeing how you must have known Leon forever. And after knowing [i]him[/i] for so long, I'm possitive any girl would fall for him. He's a great person. I don't know who Dorian is, but he's a liar." Blazey smiled at her. "I'm sure you're a great girl, too. I don't really know what else to say...I've never been very good at comforting people. But one thing's for sure: Amber does [i]n[/i][i]ot[/i] have three boyfriends."

Watching the whole conversation, Lady Heat smiled. Blazey was really turning into more of her own person. She turned to her side and saw the fain images of the Number's talking about something that seemed important. She didn't want to barge in their conversation, but she at least made herself visible to them and stepped a little closer without turning towards them.

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian watches as everything goes as his companions had stated. They were right on the mark and here goes Emily capitalizing on Dorian's unfortunate mistake of being honest. Butler looked at the scene and was already buzzing around the room getting the armaments ready. Though that was completely going to far for a bunch of kids, but this is what butler's do.

[color=#800000]"I think we should take leave sir.[/color]" Butler said with no concern but it was better safe than sorry.
[color=#ff8c00]"Why? The king does not leave his castle because the peasants are coming. Besides its been so long since we've all gotten together and had a nice chat. The party should be starting soon Butler lets get ready."[/color]
This was the kind of response that Butler had wanted and all of the Spirits and Numbers grinned with malicious intent (if they could) they continued to watch the T.V. while Dorian retreated to get dressed, the banquet was approaching and no reason not to look his best. The Anansi and Co. along with the Number just continued to watch the T.V. maybe some more interesting things will happen.

[Merci]

77 had begun to act erratic for no given reason, whimpering and going crazy as if something horrible had just happened, making sounds that sounded like lightning in reverse. Rai was worried about him.

[i]Chidori? Something the matter?[/i] He asked. [i]Why are you behaving this way?[/i]

[color=yellow][i]I thought I heard something....[/i][/color] the wild Number replied, slowly. [color=yellow][i]But perhaps it was just...my imagination. Nothing more.[/i][/color]

[i]O-kay,[/i]

After that, the Number quietened back down in his mind. Jeez.

After that, Rai took a bowtie and fit it around himself, looking at a mirror. He flashed a smile. It was almost time for the banquet, all the finalists would be there. But not just them, Amber~ would definitely be among them. A score unsettled, after all. He had to prove his worth as a duelist, even if he had lost 91 to that Aivea girl. He had to win...her heart? Or the duel? Why not both? It was confusing. Probably 77's fault for amplifying all his emotions. He kept finding it difficult to stand properly without agitating and being tempted to run all over the place.

[Kohakuchan19]

[b]"I...I'm okay.. Sorry... I just didn't know how else to react..." [/b]Amber said as Leon comforted her.. But then when Leon reacted to Aemily's statement about Amber cheating and about Dorian, she was even more confused... [b]"Dorian..."[/b]

[color=#800080]"The one who was trying to steal up while you were in a coma.. Also had some intent on killing you as well.."[/color]

Amber also heard Blazey step into the conversation.

[b]"Th-thanks Blazey for the support.."[/b]

Seth heard Dorian's name and was insta-pissed off. Not at Aemily.. Clearly she had been deceived.. It was Dorian who had him angry.. He just couldn't leave his friends alone. Seth walked over to Emily and tried not to show signs of anger, but he had to at least have a straight face.

[color=#000080][b]"Let me guess... The other two are supposed to be me and Yuki over there...?"[/b][/color]

Seth waited for a response, then replied to that response.

[b][color=#000080]"You were lied to... I've known Amber for some time, and even though we're close, we treat each other as family... Yuki kinda has a crush on Amber I think.. but She chose Leon. They've been together through this entire tournament so far.. and they've been through more hell in the last three days than you could imagine without ever having held a number.. Or maybe you have.. I wouldn't know right off the bat really.. But Ever since this morning that... Dorian has been trying to steal Amber's numbers... while she was in a coma.... ....."[/color][/b]

He had to stop for a moment.. Thinking back at what happened at the warehouse...

[color=#000080][b]"There was a fire last night.. Amber was caught in it.. She could have died.. she was even in a coma because of an evil number that took control of me.. ... When she was in that coma... that.. CREEP came out of nowhere and tried to rob her.. and later threatened to have her killed! .... What I'm trying to say is.. Dorian used you... or tried to at least... Sorry for the lecture.. and sorry you are hurt from this... I'm going to step outside for a moment..."[/b][/color]

[b]"Seth...? Where are you...?"[/b]

[b][color=#000080]"Just outside.. don't worry sis..."[/color][/b]

Seth walked out the door without another word, merely glancing at the stranger who had just won the duel they had tried to watch before as he brushed past him (Demetri)

[color=#000080][b]"S'cuse me.. sorry for nudging.."[/b][/color] Seth said to the stranger.

[b]"...Aemily... I'm so sorry about the way I reacted... and Sorry about this.. Dorian guy.. I don't really understand why this guy seems to hate me so much.. or my friends.. I don't really remember seeing or hearing much of him.. except details of this morning.... But if I see him in the semi-finals or finals.. I'll take him out.."[/b]

[color=#008080][i]"Thanks anyway... That info will have to be enough I guess... I'll just have to make sure that I'm stronger.."[/i][/color]

Zebulos looked to Sonya with a smile. [color=#008080][i]"I have a lot riding on this after all.. All of my friends... my Rocket Knights... Lady Amber... Her friends...." [/i][/color]Zebulos kissed Sonya with another hug [color=#008080][i]"And you...."[/i][/color]

Meanwhile a few of Amber's monsters went over to Blazey's Monster to say hello.

[color=#ff8c00]"Hi! You're Blazey's monster's right? I'm Kohaku!"[/color]
[color=#008000]"I'm Spike.. nice to meet you."[/color]
[color=#800000]"..." [/color]The Badger was a bit shy.
[color=#0000ff]"That's Berry.. and I'm Sparkster. We are Rocket Knights. You are?"[/color]

Dorian's Spirits could do nothing but nod there heads and shrug as Seth went on his rant about the young aristocrat. Pity though this situation could have been entertaining had someone just went across someone else's face. Anansi and Illuminknight were stuck just looking at each other as they were trying to figure out all that there master had done before he acquired them. At that moment they both looked towards the only card who was there throughout this whole event and that would be Shocky. Who of course was floating in the corner moving his head from side to side. Through some version of Number language Illuminknight could actually talk for Shocky and he explained the everything leading up to this particular instance. Mmomotia (Momo) couldn't help but laugh as the story got to the untimely murder of Star which made her the Queen Bee again. Anansi wasn't interested either way like his master said these kids are peasants and peasants should be pleased to be of use to the king whether it be entertainment purposes or they be pawns in the kings wicked game. Osebo could get his eyes off Zebby...food was walking around having a conversation and then he saw the rest of the R.K. Warriors and realized its a freakin buffet walking around hopefully they will scurry around so he can burn some calories after eating them. Aso had the same line of thought as Osebo but was too lazy to figure out the wierdness of that armor, maybe Dorian has a can opener or something.

Nevertheless Dorian was busy stepping out of the shower and getting his mani-pedi and facial done so he could look good for tonight. Room Service sent up a girl, how unfortunate she had no way to see the immense amount of spirits crowding up the room.

[Lord JZ of the Enigma]

Josep had been walking off on his own, unable to bring himself to talk to the group, when he realized something, of all the Numbers Dorian had taken, one of them was Hannah's.....how or why he remembered, he wasn't sure, but he knew he had to get it back, despite what it had done it was still a card held by her. "Dorian.....he spared me that one time....should I?" he then felt another pang in his heart. [b][i]"SOON ENOUGH JOSEP, ALL THE NUMBERS WILL FACE THEIR FATE IN DUE TIME, ESPECIALLY INFERNO CHEVALIER, I WILL SEE TO IT MYSELF HE PAYS FOR WHAT HE DID TO YOUR BELOVED, FOR NOW, PREPARE, THE CARDS YOU NEED FOR MY TRUE SUMMON ARE NEARBY. YOU MUST ACQUIRE MY KEYS TO ESCAPE THIS WEAKER PRISON, CONCENTRATE JOSEP, THE NEXT TEST WILL BEGIN SOON!"[/i][/b]

The young duelist sighed heavily and walked away, he wanted to enjoy this last night, he really did, but deep down...he just couldn't feel any happiness in the company of others anymore, besides, they wouldn't notice he was gone anyway....

[Brinolovania]

Thomas sighed as Diamond Dude's effect revealed Reinforcement of the Army. [b]"Another normal spell...awe man."[/b] He watched as Mikey did stuff and summoned Dogma, then of course combined with the monster. [b]"Wow, that's immensely awesome. I think you have me beat he-oof!"[/b] He stumbled back slightly as he was smacked by Mikey/Dogma's attack. [2600 lp left btw, you miscalculated a bit] He slipped his previously set Seven Tools of the Bandit into the Graveyard. [b]"Ugh...right, you're done? In that case, I draw!"[/b] He looked at his newly drawn card. [b]"OK! I- oh wait...Dogma's effect will activate now, right? That's half my remaining life gone..."[/b] He stopped his move, and waited for the hit.

[Kohakuchan19]

[b]"Oh.. Hello.. Um... There's no need to worry about us. Everything is fine now I think." [/b]Amber said trying to smile [b]"I'm Amber.. I saw you're duel.. or at least part of it.. are you a finalist?"[/b]

Amber looked to the man in a funny way. He looked really different from other people she had met. He must have been from another country. He was much taller than she was, and something about him was... friendly, but almost in a threatening way. She wasn't sure what to make of him, but she could sense a number on him.

[color=#008080][i]"Another Holder... Number... Who are you.. and are you hunters... Speak!" [/i][/color]Zebulos demanded.

[Shadius]

Demetri had heard Zebulos, yet didn't exactly know the source of the voice. "I don't know who is addressing me but, yes, I am keeper to Number 47, yet I am not a "Hunter" as you so bluntly put it." With a scowl on his face, the man approached Amber and looked her in the eyes, positive the voice came from a Number in her procession. "As for my name you may simply call me Demetri, and by the grasp of the situation it seems as if you also hold a number, and by the guess of the talk here you and I are not the only ones." It was quite obvious that he stood out from the others in the group, but from the feeling in the room Demetri had a feeling he was looking towards his competition in the next stage of the Carnival. "Oh and to answer your question, yes I am apart of the finals, as I just completed my frame."

[Kohakuchan19]

[b]"Um.. well then.. Demetri.." [/b]Amber said as she was a bit intimidated by Demetri's expression and stature. [b]"So.. you could hear Zebulos...?"[/b]

[color=#008080][i]"Number 47.. I see. I however was not addressing you.. Demetri.. I was talking to your number.. who does not seem keen on speaking for himself.."[/i][/color]
[i][color=#4b0082]"Don't bother Zebulos... This perfectionist hardly bothers to talk to anyone who is not... on his level.. so to speak.. Of course I COULD be wrong and he can stop being such a pompous fool"[/color][/i]
[color=#008080][i]"Very well.. But there is no need to provoke him to do so Star.."[/i][/color]

[b]"Well then.. it is nice meeting you. I suppose we will meet again tomorrow.."[/b]

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian, who is busy getting his hands and feet attended to and has a towel wrapped around his head, face covered in a Tibetan moisturizing mask, and two cucumbers slices over his his eyelids, was using his spirits to tell him was going as he can still here the people talking this new person Demetri while rather new was a number holder, meaning he could become a threat or more likely he could just become another one of goggle sluts..."friends." The other numbers were simply amused at Seth and his absence. With all of the cameras being inside the arcade there was no way to see what was going on outside. Faulty camera placement really but it is not as if the universe can bend and turn to fit Dorian's will like he believes it should sometimes. Dorian proceeded to scheme again sense Emily just didn't go as planned and Josep has yet to make a move. Maybe the best way to beat a good guy is to make them a bad guy. What could it hurt Amber is somewhat emotional so maybe seeing one of her friends fall is what will push her over the edge.

[color=#ff8c00]Butler if you had to choose one of Goggle sluts boys to dispose of which would it be? And I want maximum impact here.[/color]
Butler pondered for a second while he was in his preparing a snack for his master.
[color=#800000]For maximum impact you would have to dispose of all three. Yuki is relatively unimportant and between Seth and Leon getting rid of one will just throw her into the arms of the other.[/color] All of the spirits and numbers nodded in agreement. For some odd reason they truly respected Butler.
[color=#ff8c00]Oh Butler, you are so smart. Well then I can't wait till the banquet. Time is moving so slowly yet fast at the same time....ha I made a funny.[/color]

[Durandamon]

[color=#ff0066]"Lied to...b-but...you and...Yuki? I don't know, he just said two more boys...a coma!?"[/color] - Emily was having a hard time understanding the information provided by Seth, and after he left, she turned to Leon - [color=#ff0066]"I-Is that true? Is Dorian one of the bad guys?"[/color] - Leon gulped, and looked at Emily with a sad face. Apart from him, Dorian was her only friend, and he had to tell him the truth somehow - [color=#800080]"Emi...y-yeah. I'm sorry, but he is just...bad. Still...you'll always have us, we are your friends." [/color]- Leon's words conforted Emily, who then walked to Amber - "I'M SORRY!" - she screamed while hugging her, tears flowing from her eyes again.

[color=#800080]"You are still a little girl. Yeah, no need to worry about us, Demetri, was it? I'm Leon!" [/color]- he introduced himself, and then felt his Number, suddenly. - [color=#800080]"A Number!? At least you are good. We are holders as well."[/color]

Sonya approached Lady Heat with a smile - [color=#00ffff]"Hello~ Finally another girl to talk to that isn't Star!" - [/color]at that same moment, Ashika was approaching Zebulos into talking with 47 [color=#ff8c00]- "He doesn't seem like the talking kind, not that all of us talk." [/color]

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian in his nirvana state of pampered relaxation heard Emily getting comfort. Well as much as that was fun maybe it is time to move on to plan G.

[color=#ff8c00]Butler get the phone, throw a grenade or something,[/color] Dorian follows with a snicker. [color=#ff8c00]I trust you with the wording I must be entertained now and this happily ever after garbage is just the kind of noise that grinds my gears to the fullest.[/color]

Without any delay Butler picked up Dorian's phone and proceeded to send a text to Emily. The purpose is simple even though Emily is a rather new friend of Amber's maybe seeing her all torn up inside will be the first step in Amber's transition to darkness. Butlers fingers went rapid and eventually he made his message short and sweet. The spirits and Numbers are all focused on the conversation of their kinfolk, but they do not seem as impressed with the other Numbers as they had hoped they would be.

[b]How you doin? You get your man yet? I got a spa treatment set up in the hotel. Think of it as a Victory/friendship gift [/b]

[Shadius]

"[color=#ff0000]Why should I talk to any of you,[/color]" Adonis flicked his hair and snickered "[color="#ff0000"]You see, I don't talk to lesser gutter trash. Unless you prove yourself's worthy I don't deem it fit to grace you with my perfection." [/color]

"It doesn't seem like Adonis can be bothered, as usual." Demetri yawned, placing his deck back into it's deckbox and placing his duel disk back into his bag. "You see, he is very picky on who he strikes conversation with and usually he doesn't waste his words. As for tomorrow I feel like it will be a.. easy sweep for one with a perfect strategy like myself." Sure he came off as cocky, but when one runs a deck that runs cards with the word perfection in the name it's sorta hard not to. "By the looks of it most of you are probably from here, and are probably all chummy huh?"

[Kohakuchan19]

Amber got a bit startled at first when Emily screamed out her apology, but when when Emily hugged her and started crying again, she smiled and gave her a friendly hug back.

[b]"It's okay... There was no way you could have known.. I hardly know this Dorian guy at all to be honest... having not met him at all, but we can be friends now right?"[/b]

Amber then heard Demetri's snark about his perfection and such.

[b]"There is no perfect strategy... not unless you can pull a OTK... And EVERY deck has a weakness... even yours..." [/b]

[color=#008080][i]"Oh look... it speaks after all..." [/i][/color]Said Zebulos [color=#008080][i]"Galaxy Queen is right.. You ARE a pompous fool... and as such.. you are not worth MY time anyway... I do not consort with loners."[/i][/color]
[color=#800080][i]"Well Zebby... At least you aren't a total softy..."[/i][/color]
[i][color=#008080]"Only Sonya and Amber may call me by that name Star.."[/color][/i]
[i][color=#800080]"Sorry.. KING Zebulos.. MY mistake."[/color][/i]

Zebulos simply sighed. He and Amber weren't particularly fond of people who gloat on their success over others. It was that kind of individual that made playing games less to no fun at all. and in an ARCADE too.. that really irritated Amber.

[b]"Well... enough about that.. We came here to play some games and have a good time before the banquet.. Speaking of which Mr.Perfect..." [/b]Amber paused as she gave Demetri as stern of a look as she possibly could, considering or natural disposition. [b]"You only have so much time before the registration closes... So I'd move it before you're late and miss your chance at the semi-finals."[/b]

[Durandamon]

[color=#800080]"Let's just get to the machines, Ammie. We still have some time before the party!"[/color]

[color=#ff8c00]"At least we agree on something. Let's just walk away, King Zebulos."[/color] - said Ashika, as she started playing her harp, although she was now playing at a fast tempo. - [color=#ff8c00]"Now that I think about it, does Leon even know Aemilia has me? Or does she know about Sonya?"[/color] - she sighed, as she moved close to Emily - [color=#ff8c00]"Aemila, my dear..."[/color]

[color=#ff0066]"Y-Yes! I w-wanna b-b-be your friend!"[/color] - said Emily between tears, while still hugging Amber with strenght. When she heard Ashika call her, she let go of Amber -[color=#ff0066] "What is it?"[/color]
[color=#ff8c00]"Take a look at your new friends, closely."[/color] - Emily was confused by the request, but followed it anyway. She suddenly gasped when she saw what Ashika meant; around Leon a blueish aura revealed the presence of a Numbers card. She looked at Amber and Yuki, and she saw them too - [color=#ff0066]"W-What is going on!? Since when do you guys h-have Numbers!?"[/color]

[Kohakuchan19]

Amber had then realized that she forgot to mention.

[b]"Well... It's like Seth said... We've had number since at least some time before the tournament began.. ... Zebulos... or number 93, he came to me when my friend Seth was possessed by an evil number who we simply call Bacterian.. he's number 89... Number 52 or Galaxy Queen I got from some old guy by winning a duel.. I needed at least two numbers to face Bacterian... And that's kinda when all the weird stuff started happening. I dueled Seth and won.. but when I attempted to get rid of number 89... It was still too strong for me to even tough.. I was almost possessed.. even with not just both of my numbers.. but Leon had let me barrow number 2... or who we like to refer to as Sonya. I lost consciousness and some guy took the number away... not that I am complaining too much.. but that number is really bad news..."[/b]

[i]Amber signed as she looked at the door. [/i]

[b]"That is also why Seth was a bit upset as he talked about it... He feels responsible for what happened..."[/b]

Amber then smiled trying to lighten the mood a little.

[b]"But I guess there's no need to worry now. Our numbers aren't evil or anything. And I can tell just by listening to Zebulos talking to your number, whom ever he or she may be, that your number is friendly too. I can really only hear Galaxy Queens' and Zebulos' side of the conversation to be honest..."[/b]

Amber then looked to Leon.

[b]"Alright then! Let play some games for a bit before we have registration is over. So that Blazey has a chance to register after our game challenge. Speaking of which, have you given any thought as to what kind of game you want to challenge me to Blazey?"[/b]

Dorian could here this conversation and was slightly annoyed that his text message was being ignored even though he didn't know what exactly the message said. However he could not afford to be angry as that could cause wrinkles in his skin. The other Numbers and spirits were focused on the actions of the their kin.

[color=#daa520]This Adonis character, what shall be done concerning this matter? [/color]
[color=#a52a2a]Why do we have to do anything? Don't you know the story of Narcissus? He was so busy staring in his own reflection he simply died. [/color]Anansi replied to the knight.[color=#a52a2a] The thing we must worry about is ourselves. Master intends to make an enemy out of everyone because he holds such a large fighting force. However this sky beast you mention is something that is slightly disconcerting. [/color]
[color=#daa520]Why does Master not use all of our power and combine with us I have seen his memories he knows how powerful we can be if he uses us at our greatest.[/color]

It took a second for Anansi to process those words then he, Mmomotia, Osebo, and Aso fell into spontaneous laughter. Even Dorian himself let out a chuckle which confused the manicurists.[color=#A52A2A]Okay...let me explain it like this. You know how children when they are really young will tend to personify all of their toys and even go as far as to call them friends.[/color][color=#A52A2A] [/color][color=#daa520]Yes[/color]. [color=#a52a2a]Well that is how Anansi sees us, possessions that can talk back. Now make no mistake it may sound cruel but Dorian does take great care of things that belong to him. Which is probably another reason why he is after the Gamer...skank.[/color] [color=#ff8c00]There you go, good job[/color] Dorian said intervening, the manicurist thought that he was talking to them which made them smile. Anansi chuckled and continued [color=#a52a2a]"When we were last used it was against some form of machine deck and being animalistic spirits we kinda require nourishment. Dorian looked at the way decks were being constructed and duelist who were making a name for themselves and they didn't have anything we can eat. So he stopped using us and placed us in a box with other duel spirits which we ate but didn't hunt so we got bored. Now this girl here has some wiry rodents all right for the eating. Master should be praised. [/color]

Osebo, Aso, and Mmomotia nodded at Anansi's story telling he was so good at that. [color=#a52a2a]Anywho back to the story at hand Dorian can't fathom attaching his mortal soul to a possession that implies the possession and him were on some kind of equal footing.[/color] Illuminknight had to nod at this statement and he already knew of Dorian's will power seeing as Dorian was able to quell his 4 numbers by himself. The other numbers simply nodded and all of the non human beings resonated with respect for their master as they watched the T.V.

Outside of the Arcade, Seth was just standing outside trying to cool down. Even though he didn't exactly blow up on anyone in there, but He was still pretty pissed off... He didn't like people talking bad about Amber no matter what reason they may have had. And that sociopaths aristocrat, Dorian was dancing on his last nerve. He had to admit to himself one thing however.. some of the things Dorian said about him were true.. Seth thought back on some of the things Dorian had said back at the clinic... How it was his fault Amber had been put in danger in the first place. He couldn't deny it, but there was another thing nagging in the back of his mind. He did have rather significant feelings for Amber, but even if She hadn't met Leon and fallen in love with him, Seth felt that he still didn't deserve her after everything that had happened. As he reflected upon this, Seth sat down and rested his face in the palms of his hands. He wasn't about to cry, but he had a lot to think about.

After some time had passed. Seth came to a conclusion... He was going to try to do something about Dorian the first chance he got. Realizing his friends were probably still inside, he decided to walk back in and meet up with them. He still looked a little depressed, but he was sincerely trying to cheer up.

[color=#000080][b]"Hey guys.. what's going on?"[/b][/color]

[Durandamon]

[color=#ff0066]"I see...I'm such an idiot! I thought they were all evil, and entered the WDC to protect Leon from them...not that he needs it, if he has...Sonya, was it? My Number is 13!" [/color]- Emily searched her pocket, and pulled out a Rank 10 Xyz Monster, showing it to Amber - [color=#ff0066]"Ashika, Spirit of Love. Kinda hard to summon if you ask me, with 3 Level 10 monsters..." [/color]- when Seth came in, she remembered what Amber said and tried to cheer him up - [color=#ff0066]"Hi Seth! We were just about to go play some games. Care to play one with me?"[/color] - she offered, trying to get him to think of something else. -[color=#ff0066] "I want to play a shooter!"[/color] - Emily said, but quickly turned around and texted Dorian again.

[b]Spa treatment!? You are the best! But I'd feel lonely, so why don't you get the same and we can have fun as friends? I'll tell you how it went with Leon later, k? - Emi[/b]

[color=#800080]"Then I guess me and Yuki can play Mortal Kombat, right bro?"[/color] - Leon said, while patting Yuki on the back.
