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

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian ,still being pampered, gets the report of what is going on from those around him and Butler tells him of Emily's message.

Oh what is this is she trying to play the King in his own game. Nope I doubt that she clearly isn't malicious enough to play these sort of games. Anyway say sure I'll just get some form of massage while she gets all lady-like and whatnot. You never know maybe she might still retain some usefulness. Sad though now I gotta put things on hold because of her. Well not like I had something to do anyway. My my what a tangled we've wove.

The Illumiknight mentions Seths behavior and Dorian can't help but laugh. "I love my town fool he amuses me so. Maybe he should disappear first. Compared to the other too it wouldn't require 10% of the effort. Okay well Butler move things along its almost time for my face to come off."

Butler rolled his eyes in annoyance, which Dorian could feel, but he did as was told while making the perfect snack. He simply grabbed the phone and with one hand without even looking at it Butler merely sent a return text.

[b]Aww later, but I wanna get super looking now lol jk Don't be too long hate to think you forgot about me so soon. TTFN![/b]

[Kohakuchan19]

[b]"Hey Seth! Are you feeling okay...?"[/b] Amber asked her friend as she was shown a number by Emily
[color=#000080][b]"I'll be alright.. Just needed to cool my head for a bit. Nice card you've got there Emily."[/b][/color]

Amber looked at the card that was shown to her and smiled. [b]"She's pretty, and she has a lion!? dang she's either small or that lion is huge!" [/b]Amber then heard Emily say something about difficulty of summoning it. [b]"Rank 10 huh? wow, she must be one heck of a number to have that rank. Bacterian wasn't even that high! He was only rank 6. Here, let me show you my numbers." [/b]

Amber pulled out her cards and Showed Emily her two numbers. [b]"This one here is Number 93: R.K. King- El Zebulos, he's my first number, and he's really nice, but a bit over protective. He's Rank 4! This one here is Number 52: Galaxy Queen, my second. She can be a bit vain at times, but she's not so bad once you get to know her. She's Rank 1, but I don't have many monsters with that level so it's a bit hard for me to get her out there... Anyway. Both of their abilities are really great, and would probably be an awesome combo if I could ever get them both out."[/b]

Seth looked to Emily and was rather touched by her display of kindness. Perhaps they got through to her after all. Seth smiled and then pondered as he looked around for a game that fit the description, though she wasn't 100% specific. Did she mean the kind with the light guns? or the kind that Amber like to play that usually had you control a space ship of some kind.. He believed those were called shoot 'em ups...

[color=#000080][b]"Well... If you mean the kind with the guns and all that... How about some Time Crisis..? I see a group of machines right over there" [/b][/color]Said Seth as he pointed out in to a corner. [b][color=#000080]"C'mon, I'll get the tokens." [/color][/b]

[b]"I'm gonna see if they have any good Sh'mups! I hope they have Gradius III!" [/b]Amber said as she ran for the Konami machines to hunt down one of her favorite games after putting her numbers back in her deck box and pocketing it.

[color=#0000ff]"Oh I gotta see this!" [/color]Said the pilot of the Gradius Card as he flew out of Amber's Deck Box.

[color=#000080][b]"Hehe.. Well.. I guess some people at school didn't call her Konami for nothing. Typical Amber." [/b][/color]Seth smiled seeing that Amber was happy, and that everyone was getting along.

Amber ventured into the depts of the Arcade, and Easily found a large group of Action Games that were side by side. Her favorite kind of video game of all was were the ones made by Konami. She looked for the Shoot'em ups, she found lots of different games such as Twin Bee, Parodius (hilarious) and a few others. She finally found the one she was looking for, Gradius III. This cabinet was REALLY hard to come by, and there it was right in front of her. She walked up to it and inserted then number of tokens needed for a credit, and then started to play the game.

The Small sprite of the Gradius Ship, also known as the Vic Viper appeared on the screen stars flying in the background. The music started to play, and a voice came from the machine saying "Destroy them All" as enemies appeared on the screen for the first time. The nostalgia Amber got from hearing the sound effects was incredible, and she immediately got into the swing of things. A few others saw Amber playing the game and started to beckon others to come and watch her play.

[color=#808080]"Hey Guys! Look! Isn't that the Gaming Duelist!? Holy crap it is! She's playing that one game she based one of her decks off of! AWESOME!! Lets go watch! Hey everyone! Amber the Gaming Duelist is here!" [/color]They all would say as suddenly a group of people huddled around Amber to watch the game.

Amber By this time had already beaten the first 3 stages, now things were getting real. She had not yet lost a life, and it was a good idea not to this late in the game, as all of her power ups would be lost. All of The Duel Spirits from her Gradius Deck and Rocket Knight Deck came out to see how good Amber actually was at playing this game. The Pilots of the spaceships were really getting into it and felt like they really were in the game Amber was playing. Soon She was at the Boss Rush Stage where various Big Cores would come out one after another. First it was Big Core Mk-2, then Frozen Core, then Tetran, Covered Core, Death Core, and one other Core she could never remember to name of even though the names were always displayed. Then it was the final Stage... At first it was like being in a bigger ship... Then, after destroying a wall and passing a spider-like enemy, The environment changed The walls and background were fleshy and the enemies were replaced with cell-like enemies. Soon she had to shoot her way through regenerating walls, until she finally reached a dead end.. The final Boss... Bacterian... Fortunately.. The final Boss was always a piece of cake in these games for some reason... She got in the safe spot and took a moment to listen to what it had to say, which wasn't much... it was simply boasting about it's so called power... Then she used all her power ups to waste Bacterian.. Each hit resulted in either him yelling, or the many faces around him screaming for help, until Bacterian said something, signifying that she had beat him... The boss said...

[i][color=#b22222]"I was born... out of the greediness of mankind... While Man exists... So will I...."[/color][/i]

The Boss then let out a grotesque scream as it exploded There was then an escape sequence and Amber was able to make it past all of the obstacles. The Credits started to roll and everyone cheered. Amber simply blushed as she had only JUST noticed people had been watching her play. Amber also saw here monsters applauding her skill as well. Amber simply smiled... Although she couldn't help be be somewhat distracted with what Bacterian's virtual counterpart said.. it was the same thing he said when Amber beat Seth... She shook her head, now wasn't the time to think about that sort of thing. She turned to look at her fans, which.. she actually didn't realize she had fans, at least not when it came to total strangers.. If anything had pen and paper on their person, they might have asked for an autograph. Amber laughed a little at the idea. Nah.. she couldn't be THAT kind of famous. Amber then purposely got a game over after the game started to loop, she put in her initials "ADJ" and then went off to find her companions.

[Merci]

"Hi!"

Amber was interrupted by a guy wearing a yellow jacket and black jeans, with a hoodie covering his head. He looked to be a in hurry, and searched his pockets for an object - and finding nothing, he had no choice but to take out his Heart Frame and showed the backside to her. "Can you sign this? Please, [i]oh great[/i] Amber the Gaming Great~? I tried to reach you earlier, but there were just too many people in the way!"

He let out a faint laugh. Amber might have recognized his voice, but surely it couldn't be the same maniac from three days ago...? "You're sort of popular around here, you know!!!"

He paused a moment to let her sign it.

[color=yellow]"I would not want to interrupt, but she has a Num-"[/color] Number 77 began, a little louder than he should have, but Rai interrupted him.

[i]Not now, Chido! Can't you see this is a crucial moment?[/i]

The thing was, he used to come to the Arcade everyday to play. He wasn't all that good at it, but he just did it because games were That was before the accident, before he was struck by lightning, before had been given robotic parts, and before the mysterious doctor handed Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon over to him... how long ago now had that been? He had been stuck in the hospital for a while now. Could've been weeks, could've been months.

His memory about that was a bit hazy. He had never really cared at first. But it was now all starting to return, slowly...which was why he had headed to the Arcade. To his surprise, she was there too, doing her thing right in the middle of the World Duel Carnival. Huh.

For a second, Rai's attention waned and his Heart Frame turned a bit to reveal that it was complete. He quickly pulled it back afterwards, and gave an anxious look to Amber.

[AkatsukiPride!]

"Yeah," Mikey responded. "You lose half your life points." He held up his left index finger, creating a small ball of purple energy, and then flicked it at Neo using his other hand. It flew towards the masked hero and exploded slightly on impact, and Neo's Life Point meter popped up and dropped by half. (Neo: 2600->1300) "You don't have much Life Points left. Good luck."

~~~

When James let loose [i]another[/i] Number monster and destroyed Bacterian with a simple trap card, IV screamed. "UGH! EVERY TIME I [color=#b22222]PL[/color]AY A [color=#b22222]GOOD [/color]CA[color=#b22222]R[/color]D! YOU BL[color=#b22222]OW IT UP!" [/color]He growled as he drew his next card. He looked at the card, growling again under his breath, and set the card face-down in his spell and trap card zone. "Nothing much to do," he complained. "So I'll just hand to turn to you." IV groaned. tried to think if there was anything left to do.

~~~

Blazey walked over to Amber as she booted up Gradius III and cheered for her the whole way through. She recognized the final boss as Number 89, the number that had once controlled Seth. She still cheered for Amber as she fought it, and was overjoyed when it was finally defeated. Even though it was just a pixelated version of it, it was still the Bacterian Emperor. She walked over to Amber when it was all over and patted her on the shoulder. "Good job! Now I know not the challenge you to the game!" She looked around, hoping to find one of those "dance games" Seth had mentioned. She'd never been very good at those. She needed to find something she could beat Amber in.

[color=#FFA500]"Oh hello there!" [/color]Lady Heat said to the duel spirits that surrounded her. [color=#ffa500]"Nice to meet you! I am Lady Heat, and this is...Ice Edge? Where'd he go?"[/color] Lady Heat looked around, wondering where her partner had went.[color=#008080] [/color][color=#40e0d0]"Right here! Ha'cha!" [/color]He said, jumping over Lady Heat. [color=#40e0d0]"Hi there! I'm Ice Edge! There are more of us, but they don't like to come out." [/color]

On the other side of the arcade, invisible to humans, a dark cloud was oozing out of Blazey's deck box, conjugating far away from the crowd. A demon-like, humanoid figure sat in the cloud, mumbling about back pains. [color=#2f4f4f]"Being trapped inside a card will do that to 'ya..." [/color]it mumbled under it's breath.

[Durandamon]

[color=#FF0066]"I wanted to go play some Time Crisis, if that's okay with you, Sethie. I see Time Crisis 2 from here!"[/color] - Emily hopped to the arcade machine, and grabbed the pink second player gun - [color=#FF0066]"Sorry if I make you lose, but I'm not really good at games."[/color] - in fact Emily couldn't hold the gun nor aim properly, and she looked cute trying to hold the big weapon. Before starting, she turned to Leon -[color=#FF0066] "If you aren't playing anything, you should come by to cheer for me!"[/color]
[color=#800080]"I was waiting for Yuki, Aemilia."[/color]
[color=#FF0066]"I told you it's EMILY. Is it so hard? And come on, I need some groupies around me!"[/color]
[color=#800080]"I like your real name, I don't see a problem with it."[/color] - said Leon as he sighed and walked to the Arcade Machine.
[color=#FF0066]"Then I guess I can call you by your given name too, right, Leonid...?"[/color] - started Emily, but was stopped by Leon's hand on her mouth. - [color=#800080]"You win. I'll call you Emily. AGH!"[/color] - Emily bit Leon's hand, making him let go of her - [color=#FF0066]"Thanks, Leonidas."[/color] - she said, while Leon turned red in embarassment - [color=#FF0066]"Now let's go Seth, put those tokens in!" [/color]- while waiting for Seth, she took her phone and texted Dorian once more.

[b]How could I forget about my dearest friend? I'll be there before the party, and we can tag along, k? I just hope they have thermal baths at the spa! - Emi[/b]

[Kohakuchan19]

Amber looked to Blazey with a smile. [b]"Gradius is kind of a one player game type thing anyway... But there are a ton of games to choose from here . They've got puzzle games, strength games, fighting games.. and.. Oh!"[/b] Amber paused as she saw something interesting [b]"Since we're in the sponsor's section, why don't we check out that game over there! It's called Dance Dance Revolution."[/b]

Amber lead Blazey to a large Arcade Machine. It was kind of the same as the others, but it had flashing lights all over it, and there was a large platform that could fit two players on it.. each side with four arrows.

[b]"I'm not particularly great with this game, but it's lots of fun."[/b]

Amber's conversation was then interrupted when a familiar face approached her from behind, and asked for an autograph.

[b]"Oh um... Yeah sure I don't mind.." [/b]Amber replied to Rai as she took the Heart and signed the back of it, she then chuckled when Rai tried to hide the fact that it was his heart for the tournament [b]"You don't have to hide it Rai.. I know it's you.. and it's okay cause I have a full heart too."[/b]

Amber then finished signing the heart with her signature before handing it back to Rai.

[b]"I haven't seen you since registration for Day one, How have you been..? I for one have been having all kinds of crazy things happen to me and my friends. Numbers possessing my friends... Crazy Butlers trying to literally murder me in my sleep.. going into comas, it's been all kinds of crazy.."[/b]

[color=#008080]"Hello there fellow number..." [/color]Said Zebulos to number 77 [color=#008080]"I am number 93.. but you may call me Zebulos. hmm.. You're not the same number this young man had before...? Perhaps then this means Rai is no longer a hunter?"[/color]

Meanwhile the other monsters were conversing with Blazey's monsters.

[color=#0000ff]"The Name is James Burton, I pilot the Gradius, or as I prefer to call, the Vic Viper. Nice to meet you two."[/color]
[color=#ff8c00]"I'm Kohaku! Nyahn!"[/color] Said the hyper feline with a wide grin.
[color=#0000ff][b]"Settle down Kohaku... It is very nice to meet you Lady Heat, and Sir Ice Edge.. I am Sparkster." [/b][/color]The Spikey haired opossum smiled.

Meanwhile, Seth looked to Emily as she was holding the gun, and he suddenly found himself blushing. He quickly looked away for a moment [color=#000080][i]"What the hell am I thinking...? I only just met this girl...! But damn she's cute... maybe I should give her tips..."[/i][/color]

Seth looked back to Emily and help her hold the gun properly. [b][color=#000080]"No no, you gotta hold the gun like this.. Use your good hand to support and aim the gun, and your other hand for pulling the trigger and supporting the back. I actually find it easier this way. Try it!" [/color][/b]Seth said with enthusiasm in his voice. As he started to insert the tokens so they could both play, He looked to Leon and Yuki. [b][color=#000080]"Yeah guys come on over! We'll play some Mortal Kombat when we're done here if there's time."[/color][/b]

[Brinolovania]

[b]"Good luck appears to not be something I'm getting right now..."[/b] [i]"I have no monsters! I knew this deck's monster count was too low...I've been getting lucky. There's still stuff I can do, but I can only stall...I can't make any good combos without monsters. Crap! Is there any good move at all that I can possibly make?!"[/i] Thomas scanned his had multiple times. Then suddenly, he saw something. [i]"Wait...that could...but that's insane! Well...I'm losing anyway...let's do it. It's my only chance."[/i] [b]"OK, let's go. I set one card face down. Next, I play Megamorph! Because my life is lower than yours, the equipped monster's ATK will be doubled. I equip...you! Dogma!"[/b] Mikey/Dogma glowed, and it's power rose to a staggering 6800. Thomas silently pressed the end turn button on his D-Pad. [i]"If he stops this, it's over. Come on, attack."[/i]

Neo's status:
Life points: 1300
Field: Megamorph on Dogma, 1s/t
Hand: 3
Grave is still

[Merci]

Rai sighed, before smiling. “You’re probably worse off than me, but the past three days have been weird for me too. Numbers after Numbers... lightning storm clouds out of nowhere... Unstable Xyz Monsters.... and some random psycho who calls herself a Kaiba....”

Then he pumped his fist, as if imitating the eccentricities and enthusiasm of his previous self.

“I knew you would make it the finals, Amber!” He declared, the smile now having turned into a grin. “And remember, we still haven’t had our duel yet. I technically handed you your win during our last duel so let's have it during the semifinals, alright?! [s]I just can't stand the thought of not having won a [i]single onscreen duel[/i] in this entire Yugioh roleplay![/s]”

[color=yellow]” Did you say you were ’93’...? Hm. I thought you were dead. As for Rai...apparently not.”[/color] 77 replied. [color=yellow]”I am Number 77: Chidorisaurus. This kid was never a ‘hunter’ but he [i]was[/i] the holder of something called Number 91, until it was stolen by some random girl called Aivea Kaiba.”[/color]

[Kohakuchan19]

[color=#008080][i]"I was dead once... It would seem... But I have been reborn anew, and I only hope that this time Things will be different.." [/i][/color]Zebulos grinned a bit [color=#008080][i]"Chirorisaurous.. That name does sort of ring a bell.. You'll have to forgive me.. I have only vague and few memories of my previous life.. I hope we at least got along."[/i][/color]

Amber grinned at Rai's enthusiam

[b]"I'd hate to disappoint you, but I plan to win!" [/b]Amber said cheerfully as if challenging her friend [i]"That way.. If I win.. maybe I can make a wish that will help everyone.. Zebulos has been upset about something... maybe if I win and get that wish.. He won't have to worry anymore..."[/i]

[Merci]

[color=#ffd700]"...Hm. You're a little different now than you were then."[/color] 77 remarked, but didn't elaborate further on it. The Dinosaur Number seemed to be thinking to himself. [color=#ffd700]"But it figures. Perhaps we may get indeed get along for once."[/color]

"Haha! Well, we'll see about that." Rai replied, winking. Then he looked around the arcade once more. [i]Oh yeah, I had come here to see if I could remember my past...[/i] "Can I ask a question? How long exactly have you been coming to this arcade?"

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian, finally through with his first wave of maintenance, was getting resoundingly bored with the events that were going down in front of him. All of this goody goody friendship bonding and Foster's House for Imaginary friends conversations were just annoying. Of course on the plus side seeing all of these new faces allowed him to scroll through the files and read up on people. He sees this Rai person and vaguely remembers him prancing around like the unibomber in the Heartland Building. It was quiet cute watching him be the forth person to approach goggle slut. The Spirits and Numbers weren't really impressed by Chidorisaurus but that could easily be because no one wanted to eat him. What had startled Dorian was that there wasn't any news of these munchkin brats anywhere (Mikey and Blazey). It didn't take him long to figure out the purpose of the visit to the arcade. These brats were wagering heart pieces on Videogames.

[color=#ff8c00]"Well I guess its not that different on wagering heart pieces on card games."[/color]
[color=#a52a2a]Disappointing[/color]. [color=#daa520]Very.[/color]
[color=#ff8c00]Butler get the other T.V. from the closet and switch this feed to that one. I need entertainment and they are no longer entertaining...but we should watch them just in case. [/color]*sigh*[color=#ff8c00] who's volunteering to keep watching the kids while everyone else is happy. Dorian spoke to his materialized cards[/color].

Quickly Osebo raised his paw. This programming was akin to the Food Network as he saw the more R.K. ferrets jump forth waiting to be eaten. Mmomotia raised her hand of course because Emily's number was still there and representing the numbers was Freezedron aka Chillis mainly because he liked all of the flashy lights and sounds of the arcade. Dorian nodded and the others watched movies via the hotels pay per view. Butler had finished making his masters snack, an unnecessary culinary masterpiece but still what are butlers for, and only snickered when he heard that he was "crazy." Resuming his duties as Butler he saw the text from Emily and responded its not like Dorain should be bothered with such trivial task.

[b]They have whatever I will them to have...do you not know I am insanely rich lol...trust me we are going to have so much fun friend TTFN [/b]

[Merci]

Suddenly, right of the blue, right out of the [i]randomness[/i] a vortex appeared right where Dorian and the others were, ripping apart reality.

Out emerged a tiny gloved hand from it, and then an elegant green sleeve, and then finally a little boy, who hopped out of the vortex like a kid. He had a grin on his face. The vortex itself was having a negative reaction to the Numbers, acting as what happens when two repelling magnets are brought together. After he had emerged, the vortex faded away into nothingness. The boy himself wore a heavy iron mask, but despite the fact that it looked heavy, it didn't seem to affect him in the slightest. He glanced at Dorian and waved at him, before continuing to do so to all the Numbers in the room. Apparently he could see them. The boy completely ignored Butler.

"Hello there!" He said, rather innocently.

He looked around for something to sit on, a couch, and then he threw himself onto it as if he owned the place. For a moment, a sly grin appeared on his face. He was bored, there was nothing to do. The banquet still seemed so far away, and here was one man having the time of his life. One man who appeared a fool but who could fight off the influence of quite a few Numbers. Which is impressive. Tron laughed heartily, like a little kid. But the sight was also rather disturbing.

"Dorian, was it? I just can't help but be jealous at how much you're enjoying this. Mind if I join you?"

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian looked as this reality was being warped and couldn't help but wonder what new foolishness was this. At this juncture no one was even surprised or shock..until this vortex seemed to have a negative effect on the numbers. At that point this phenomena became rather vexing. Then wouldn't you know a little boy pops out with an iron maiden on his face. I guess this can top the wierdness meter of the last two days but upon gazing into the boys face he remembered he did see this vortex before. It was in the fire at the Warehouse, well before the fire to be exact. That weird man-child with dirty died hair who took the slime number left in it. Interesting.

[i]"Dorian was it I just can't help but be jealous at how much you're enjoying this."[/i]
Aww great the boy was clairvoyant not in simply knowing Dorian's name but its hard to believe someone knows of is activities and monitoring devices so soon. The Numbers and Spirits were simply taking defensive stances around there master and of course Butler already had the shotgun aimed at the boys head at the mention of the word hello. Funny though Dorian told had mentally told them all to stand down clearly this person was not here to start something otherwise he could have come out swinging and probably have won.

"[color=#ff8c00]And you are?[/color]...[color=#ff8c00]I guess that doesn't matter does it?[/color] [color=#ff8c00]So what do you want to watch?[/color] [color=#ff8c00]The movie[/color] pointing to the T.V. to his right [color=#ff8c00]or the show?[/color] pointing behind him

[Merci]

The kid shrugged.

"Maybe both? I like both. Both is fun!" He suggested, still smiling. Three simple sentences. He laughed a bit after that. "And okay. It doesn't matter, but it's still fun to say. [b]I am Tron!"[/b]

He pronounced Tron as a slow 'tuu - ron', making it seem like it had two syllables, which was not the case. Whoever the identity of this boy was, he hadn't been listed among the twenty-five finalists. He didn't seem to notice the shotgun being pointed at him, and disregarded the attitudes of the Numbers and Spirits which he could all see. Then he opened up his hand and Butler's culinary masterpiece 'snack' suddenly floated up from the air and into Tron's gloved hand. Without bothering to ask for permission, he bit into it.

"I'm impressed." The masked boy said suddenly. "You're funny. You hardly do anything, you hardly have a story, but here I am all of a sudden and you don't seem to care! Ha ha!"

He laughed again. His gaze was dragged by both Dorian's sneaky cameras and the television, but in the end his interest in the hotel television won over. None of it was real, but it wasn't exactly something he could see with his Crest's power.

[Love of Ghibli]

Dorian couldn't help but have his eye twitch as the boy stated eating his food. It was a if his power was pretty absolute. The spirits were getting somewhat angry by this youngsters presence but when their continuous link to Dorian they can see he wasn't slightly worried. In fact Dorian was simply curious about the boys powers for he was the first one to display non-numbers based foolishness. If the boy's powers were Numbers based surely Dorian's four numbers would have said word but in fact this kid had another power. And assuming the Iron Maiden Goth mask wasn't a side effect of the powers then for all intensive purposes this kid was normal. He wasn't in the files meaning he wasn't one of the finalist but that is pretty irrelevant since Dorian can see that the little girl with goggle slut isn't either and she is probably going to make an appearance in the semi-finals. As the little boy spoke about Dorian being funny it only made Dorian snicker.

[color=#ff8c00]"Well the same can be said about you. I think you're quite impressive and funny too. I'm pretty sure you haven't done anything till now, and I doubt you really have a story. So maybe we're just two funny people."[/color]

He notices as Tron seems to be fascinated with the movie which makes it a wise investment maybe this boy will leave after the movie is through. What an interesting little specimen this Tron is.

[Merci]

"Haha~" Tron snickered back at the man's comment.

Just two funny people. He continued to watch the movie, pretty much absorbed into it, but he was still very well capable of continuing his chat with Dorian without his attention waning or missing a detail. He snickered once again at how much this man underestimated him. He had not a single clue of his plans. Or at least, not yet. "You might be surprised, Mr [i]Schwartz.[/i] But I'm not gonna spoil the story, m'kay? I for one always prefer my box of chocolates a surprise!"

He took another glance at Dorian's spirits and Numbers, before turning back to the movie playing on the television. "Oh yeah, Mr Schwartz? What's your wish gonna be once you win the World Duel Carnival?" He asked casually.

[Love of Ghibli]

"[color=#ff8c00]Once I win? Well thanks, and here I thought you were going to threaten me, but if you're going to get rid of everyone else and yourself go ahead that would be great"[/color] Dorian laughed subtly wondering if the mysterious demon boy eating his food even knew what he had just spoke. "[color=#ff8c00]I get a wish though?"[/color] Dorian honestly didn't know about the wish part because this was just publicity for Daddy and a way to get Numbers sense they act as a drug for him. [color=#ff8c00]"I really don't know what a man in a green suit and big hat can give me that I can't already get on my own but lets see if could have any random thing given to me I would want..understanding."[/color]

The spirits and numbers snickered as if it was some inside joke as they were linked to his thoughts they can tell what he was thinking. Though his answer was vague and he too was enthralled in the movie he figured why not ask this Tron some things. [color=#ff8c00]"So I saw a person once he had this little emblem thing on his arm that kept safe from numbers. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about because you just seem to know...stuff. So what is this power you two seem to have?" [/color]That one question really contained about eight questions hidden in it but now we've gone on a fact finding mission.

[Merci]

Tron grinned at the man’s question.

“Oh, the crests you mean? The person you saw must’ve been my son.” He laughed it all off, as if a little child with children of their own was something ordinary. Then he continued on.

“I created the crests myself. It’s all technology from the Barian World, you see, the world that acts as an anti-world, a counterforce to that place where Numbers originally came from. That’s why its existence can contain and resist the power of the Numbers.” He continued. He was still heavily absorbed into the movie, but didn’t seem to have any trouble recollecting information from his mind. “Only my three sons and I possess these crests. Science-fictiony stuff, you know. Grants the user different abilities such as levitation, teleportation and Number Extraction, etcetera, stuff like that.”

The movie was already reaching its end, as plot twists were revealed and one of the characters died, with a laughing antagonist that reminded the boy of Dorian.

James grinned knowing that he had once again gained control over Bacterian and smirked as all his confidence regained. [color=#daa520][b]“It looks like this duel is nearly all wrapped up,” [/b][/color]he commented unimpressed by all IV did as he drew a card and frowned at the near dead draw. [color=#daa520][b]“I guess it doesn’t matter if I have a bad hand thanks to my Number 34 can only be destroyed by battling with another Number monster so your going to have to unleash a Number if you want to win. You can guarantee I have saved up a monster because of my Wind-Up Factor but unfortunately I expected a counterattack. But oh well, nevermind. I overestimated you…”[/b][/color]

[b][color=#daa520]“Now I will equip my invincible shield wall with my [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ring_of_Magnetism"]Ring of Magnetism[/url] that decreases it’s ATK and DEF by 500, but you must attack him thus protecting any of my monsters,” [/color][/b]James smirked laughing as he slammed down the card he drew. Suddenly, electricity surged across the cybernetic monster as a holographic ring snared it (0/2400). [color=#daa520][b]“You know IV, the main thing I learned about Numbers is that they only exist as mere slaves to us Number Hunters…Their suffering shall satisfy us as they deserve it for ruining the lives they prey on…”[/b][/color]

[b][color=#daa520]“Well you must already know that or something; I shouldn’t drag this duel two long by talking about those Abominations. I Normal Summon my Wind-Up Kitten in Attack Position,”[/color][/b] he smirked as a robotic cat emerged onto the field (800/800)(Level 2) as he felt overconfident that he had complete control. [color=#daa520][b]“I honestly expected for a bigger obstacle but oh well, [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Wind-Up_Kitten"]Wind-Up Kitten[/url] direct attack,” [/b][/color]he ordered as the robotic cat launched a vacuum at IV (IV: 100 Life Points)(If no Response) that James began to laugh manically taking no notice of whether IV has countered or not.

[color=#daa520][b]“I’m invincible. Monster, Spell or Trap; You can't defeat me, that is all from me...I end my turn” [/b][/color]

AS the movie was ending Dorian couldn't help but feel underestimated then again its not like he wasn't used to the feeling as the boy went on about his sons however Dorian resisted the urge to roll his eyes. But the boy was nonchalantly telling Dorian about this Barian world and his Sci-fi abilities. Dorian just kept nodding as Tron spoke. Once he was done Dorian realized that maybe there was some hope in defeating goggle slut after all. She may have the what appears to be main character plot protection gifted from the universe but this..Tron.. was clearly from some other universe, couple that with Joesp, and Kaiba-girl no way Goggles can win. Of course Dorian couldn't mention these plans to Tron because if he truly was clairvoyant than he would already know of Dorian's intentions and no amount of word play would shake this..being.

The movie had just ended and the credits were rolling but it didn't look like Tron's interest was shaken.

[color=#ff8c00]"Well it seems the movie is over and I guess this is where we part ways. Though time seems to be creeping slowly I do have a banquet too attend too and I think you already know that. So is there anything else you want to talk about or is our business through here?"[/color]

[Merci]

"I'm done here." Tron said, rising up from the couch. For a moment, he giggled, as though he was a boy hiding a secret that he just couldn't hold...so before leaving, he ran over to Dorian as if to tell him and all his Spirits and Numbers something. "Oh yeah...just so you know, [b]you're gonna be dead by the time the Carnival ends~"[/b] He erupted into a fit of insane laughter.

Then, before the rich bald man could question him further, a vortex ripped straight where Tron was, only a mere few meters away from Dorian, and he disappeared into it. The vortex then disappeared before anyone else would be stupid enough to enter.

When Seth held her hands, helping her to hold her gun, Emily blushed into a tomato, and looked up to Seth (since she was really short) who was also blushing - [color=#ff0066]"L-like this...Seth?"[/color]
[color=#ff0066][i]"Oh my god! He is too cute! But what about Leon...?"[/i][/color]

Meanwhile, Leon approached them as they exchanged looks. He placed one hand on Seth's shoulder and the other on Emily's - [color=#800080]"You guys are so cute together! Agh!"[/color] - Leon covered his head when Emily, still blushing, started hitting him with her open hand - [color=#800080]"Ouch sorry, sorry!"[/color] - when she stopped hitting him, he walked to the machine next to them, which was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - [color=#800080]"While you guys make ou...I mean, play Time Crisis, I'll beat this game with..."[/color] - as he spoke, he pulled a token from his pocket and slided it into the machine - [color=#800080]"...a single token!" [/color]- he chose Jax and started his game.

[color=#ff0066]"Don't listen to h-him...he is an idiot!"[/color] - Emily grabbed her gun and started playing. She was really bad at the game, and she didn't kill many enemies before losing her first life -[color=#ff0066] "Sorry Sethie...I suck at this! I'm not like Amber, or him..." [/color]- she said, while looking at Leon, who was at the Motaro Stage, the semifinals. A small amount of people were getting near Leon, mostly younger men.

Seth nodded to Emily, confirming that she was holding the gun correctly. Then laughed a little bit as Emily started hitting Leon. It was kind of cute, the way she was so flustered by Leon's comment. As they Played, Seth realized how bad Emily was, but then again, she was doubting herself from the beginning, so it was no surprise. Seth would try to give her cover, but eventually both of them lost all of their lives and Seth chuckled.

[color=#000080][b]"haha! Don't worry about it Emily. I'm not really the best gamer in the world either, that's more Amber's department." [/b][/color]Seth put his gun back into the rack and then looked to her, and then to Leon who was playing Mortal Kombat. [color=#000080][b]"So did you want to try again or play some other game I'm sure they got something in this big arcade for casual gamers like us.."[/b][/color]

Despite the crazy things that had happened to him and his friends the last few days, Seth was surprisingly calm and cool headed, but he'd give off a reassuring smile once in a while to let others know that he was alright. His expression for the most part was neutral, and he seemed like the gentle and easy going type. Unlike the way he was with Number 89, Seth was about as friendly as Amber was, but was much.. MUCH more protective of those he was close to.

He looked over to Emily, waiting for a response.

[color=#800080]"Oh come on, this is too easy. I'm already at Shao Kahn!?"[/color] - Leon sighed and crossed his arms, while the people behind him cheered. Instead of fighting, he let the computer win the first round to spice it up. He then made 2 Flawless Victories, and won the game -[color=#800080] "Sigh sigh sigh...too easy. I'm going with Sonya this time. Sonya sucks!" [/color] - and he started playing again.

[color=#00ffff]"Achoo! Either I'm getting a cold, or somebody is saying wicked stuff about me. Nevermind that, I'm Sonya, or Number 2, Leon's card! It's really nice to meet you, Ice Edge, Lady Heat!"[/color] - Sonya said as she jumped around

[color=#ff0066]"Well, I can do either, if you want to play again, or we could play Snow Bros, that's an easy game. Whatever you choose..[size=2].[i]as long as you play with me![/i]"[/size][/color]- Emily whispered that last part, and giggled, blushing a bit more.
[i][color=#ff8c00]"Aemilia. What are you doing? Remember our main concern is Leon now."[/color]
[color=#ff0066]"Yeah but he has a girlfriend, I don't know what to do anymore..."[/color][/i] - Ashika didn't answer to that, and instead gave Emily an angry look.

Dorian stood still as the maniacal super boy foretold of Dorian's death. He didn't feel scarred as much as he just couldn't process the information. Butler however had already draw one of his Desert Eagles and was poised to initiate a shot but unfortunate that number warping vortex behind him posed too much of an unknown threat. In this case it was best to use some form of hand to hand. However Tron was long gone by the time Butler could make it over to his time little unguarded neck. As Tron's laughter filled the room the Numbers were on Guard and the spirits were all looking at there master as they know his plotting face was on.

[color=#ff8c00]"The Barian World...Now would you look at that....The Barian World"[/color] the Numbers were scared of their master having thoughts of using such an anti-number based power and Dorian could somewhat sense their fear. [color=#ff8c00]Oh don't worry if that power goes against my current power base status which is you all, but I wonder do you think that there are other worlds. Maybe a world that helps boost the power of numbers and sense I have 4 I should be able to crush those brats."[/color] Dorian's eyes were all over the place processing information. The death threat didn't really bother him mainly because it came across as if Tron was going to kill a lot of people and Dorian was just going to be one of those piled up bodies. Seems more like indifference than selected malice. Chillis broke Dorian's train of thought by pointing at the second T.V.

There he saw it. If the walking anti-meta wasn't enough for the night there she was Emily his new friend flirting with Seth. Will the night just keep getting better. However this did provide for some interesting introductions. "[color=#ff8c00]Butler what are the odds that we can get Seth to come to us[/color]."[color=#800000] He does know who you are, you know that right?[/color] [color=#ff8c00]Yeah, but would this not be the perfect time to initiate plan kill Goggle Slut and Co[/color]. [color=#800000]Tron means nothing to you then?[/color][color=#ff8c00] I think we mean nothing to each other. He exist...I think I exist, and since I have no idea of his motivations there is no reason to exude effort over it. Now back to the matter at hand. I want to make some people hurt. Time is moving oh so slowly.[/color]
