Yu-Gi-Oh! Gates of Despair (Started/Accepting/PG-16/IC)

[True Silent Echo]

[center][size=6][b]“And without further ado, I hereby declare Duel Tournament open!”[/b][/size][/center]

[center]Those enthused words seemed to echo throughout the Tournament Grounds even an hour later. With high hopes and dreams finally within in reach, contestants were already bustling about excitedly, making both alliances and rivalries in the process. Duels broke out spontaneously, attracting groups of onlookers and the occasional wagering of precious Duel Points.

A short ways deeper into the Tournament Grounds sat a short, ashen-haired boy. He looked rather crestfallen and deep in thought, as if he were trying to think of a way to solve a complicated problem. He had retreated from the commotion of the fairgrounds just a few moments earlier, settling on a bench to rest. He didn’t very much fancy the large crowds of people, particularly when women were among them. The boy shivered at the thought. [b]“Why does there have to be so many females in this city?”[/b] He groaned to himself. However, the gynophobic boy had a lot more to worry about than just women and crowds.
[b]“It’ll be alright, Sage.”[/b] A soothing voice seemed to come out of nowhere just as a woman materialized on the bench beside the boy. Sage turned his face to the woman, not in a panic like you might expect, but quite peacefully. In the presence of the lady, the world seemed to be in harmony. Birds sung even louder than before as a gentle breeze blew past, as if to refresh him. Not even the ashen-haired boy, who was terrified of women, could possibly be uncomfortable in her company. Sage smiled. [b]“Yeah…I guess…”[/b] However, as the boy thought back to Artemis’ explanation, he highly doubted that everything would turn out OK. The fate of the world was in the balance, and the responsibility rested upon him and the other hosts to save it. On top of that, he had no idea who any of the other hosts were. Or who any of the cultists were, for that matter.
Sage stood up and stretched, trying to mentally prepare himself for his return into the crowds. As he did so, he noticed a sign that had been nailed to a tree. Such signs were common around the grounds, though Sage had never actually taken the time to read any of them. He stepped over to it.

[b][spoiler=It read:][/b][/center]
- [b]Competitors are not permitted to leave the Tournament Grounds at any time. Doing so will result in an immediate disqualification.[/b]
- [b]Anything you need is available for purchase or rent at the Fairgrounds. Tents and sleeping gear are free to rent*.[/b]
[b]-[/b] [b]If you are issued a challenge to duel, you must accept or forfeit half of your Duel Points.[/b]
- [b]Tag duels are permitted. In this case, both members of a team wager the same amount of points as the opposition. The victorious team splits the earnings.[/b]
- [b]Contestants are free to wager their Duel Points in any way they please.[/b]
- [b]Any dishonest, violent or offensive actions will result in an immediate disqualification.[/b]
- [b]If your Duel Points reach 0, or you fail to collect 100 points by the end of the week, you are disqualified.[/b]

[size=1][b]*With a $20 purchase. Restrictions may apply.[/b][/size]
[b][/spoiler][/b]

[center]So, it was pretty much just a repeat of the rules the Duel Tournament Spokesman read at the opening ceremony. Well, at least Sage didn’t need to worry about forgetting any of them. Looking towards the crowd, he was shocked to find how fast it was spreading out. Soon the entire grounds would be covered by the euphoric lot, and there would be no place to hide for a moment's peace. Sage shuffled his feet in anxiety. Though he was nervous, he couldn't help but feel a sort of...[i]excitement[/i] which he had never experienced the likes of before. After taking another deep breathe, he began the trek back to the fairgrounds. [b]"So, what do the other Immortals look like again?"[/b] Sage asked for the umpteenth time today. [b]"Oh, they vary."[/b] She said, cocking her head to the side as if trying to remember. [b]"You should be able recognize them, though. They'll stick out like a sore thumb to a human like yourself."[/b][/center]

[color=#800000]"So many people, and not a single, fanboy of mine, Aphrodite this sucks!" [/color]Bellarose complained to her immortal.

[color=#4B0082]"Shut up, Bellarose can we focus on facing my fellow Immortals," [/color]the spirit of the beautiful Immortal said replying to her charges annoying comments.

[color=#800000]"Aphrodite just remember who's in charge here," [/color]Bellarose looked at her Immortal exasperated, [color=#800000]"besides we have all tournament to find your fellow Immortals, don't forget about the cultists as well, but right now my focus is tossing around some third rate duelists and getting 100 Duel Points, we find your fellow Immortals if we don't move on to the next round."[/color]

[color=#800080]"Thank you, Bellarose for reminding me of the obvious, I'm well aware of our situation,"[/color] Aphrodite cast a tired look at the young girl,[color="#800080"]​"pull up your sleeve it makes you look like a prostitute with it hanging over your shoulder like that."[/color]

[color=#800000]"God Aphrodite I thought you were the [i]mistress [/i] of love and [i]desire[/i], " [/color]Bellarose looked at her Immortal, giving her a brooding look [color=#800000]"where is Marley anyway I sent her for supplies twenty minutes ago!"[/color]

========

Marley Davis was lost, she had been sent by Miss Bellarose to get supplies twenty minutes ago, no doubt Bellarose would be pissed. Oh well she could wait Marley was enjoying this time away from her boss.

[color=#0000CD]"I can't wait to toss her around a bit show her who's really boss, her days of ordering me around are numbered,"[/color]Marley muttered to herself, for now she had to keep her cult ties a secret, but the time would come and then Marley was going to enjoy every bit of destroying Bellarose.

[Spirit of DMG]

Seoul looked on toward the crowd, watching various duels taking place. She wasn't uncomfortable in the crowd, despite her hiding her face behind a mask. [color=#ff0000]"You know, you're not going to find any of the other Immortals just watching the duels,"[/color][color=#000000] Hades said, standing behind her. Seoul sighed. "These voices are going to have to stop," she said quietly. She moved into the crowd, browsing through the duels. She was looking for an easy opponent. She didn't like beating people who could barely tell a Spell Card from a Monster Card, but this was a tournament. Besides, if she helped weed out the weak duelists now, it would thin the crowd and help her get a decent partner for the tag-team portion next week. [/color][color=#ff0000]"I can hear your thoughts, my host. You need to be less concerned about the game, and more concerned about finding the other Immortal Host[/color][color=#ff0000]s."[/color][color=#000000] "What I need is to keep my sanity long enough to win this tournament."[/color]

[Reinforce]

Kayla was smiling in the crowd as the tournament started, watching the initial chaos before someone yelled to her, "Hey you, fight me." Somewhat supprised to be challenged so quickly, she turned and accepted with a nod, wagering 10 of her initial points for the duel. "I'll take the first move, draw." he said. "I'll summon Alexandrite Dragon, and end my turn there." Kayla looked at her starting hand, before drawing a card to add to it and smiling. [color=#FFA500]"My turn, Draw. Normal Summon, Photon Sabre Tiger, and use your effect to add another from my deck, [color="#ffa500"]Photon Sabre Tiger [/color]also loses 800 ATK since he's the only [color="#ffa500"]Photon Sabre Tiger [/color]on the field. Next, the spell Polymerisation will fuse Photon Sabre Tiger and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from my hand to summon Twin Photon Lizard. Lizard's effect activates, allowing me to tribute him and summon back the fusion material monsters from my graveyard, so rise, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Photon Sabre Tiger. With the second [color="#ffa500"]Photon Sabre Tiger [/color]on the field, both [color="#ffa500"]Photon Sabre Tiger [/color]regain their 2000 ATK. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, attack his Alexandrite Dragon with Photon Stream and use your effect to remove them both from the game, and then my two Photon Sabre Tigers, finish him with direct attacks."[/color] Kayla, after charging the extra duel points from her victory, walked across and shook his hand. [color=#FFA500]"Good game, it was fun even with such a quick duel this time."[/color] With that, Kayla walked away, somewhat annoyed that the duel had ended in a single turn, but at the same time happy that she hadn't revealed much of her deck to the spectators and gained 10 duel points at the same time. She left that starting area, walking across to the Fairgrounds, before finding a bench to wait for more challenges. [color=#FFD700]"You shouldn't sit down, you should be out finding the other Immortal's hosts. That is of top priority right now." [/color][color=#FFA500]"We have what, a week for this part of the tournament, it's not like I won't have time later. Relax a little Zeus, you really shouldn't be so focussed on finding the other Immortals just yet, you'll spot them when they appear."[/color] Zeus, appearing only to her and as a old man with a white beard, grumbled a bit as he sat down next to her, letting her have her way and just wait around for now.

With head held in a position as an average man, despite his clothing, had submerged within a crowd of aimless folk and had tossed around rumor within the crowd shortly after the rules were announced. Many of the duelists seemed to have preoccupied their minds with simple goals such as victory, or boast about their said decks. It was obvious in his mind, and it seemed ridiculous how such ingrates managed to enter in the tournament in which he spent his life to join. Ignoring his hatered towards the people, he continued his constant rumor speading amongst the crowd, telling the large mass of ignorant fools that amounted to about 50-70 people, of a supposed rare card in which was a card that would be distributed in a store that was near the boundary lines. The mass of people had rushed quickly into the said store and found nothing. However shortly after the group was disqualified from the tournment, due to his genious plot of leaving a rotten heap of garbage at the front door, which had forced the people to step outside the boundary line. And he with a small grin had shrugged as if nothing had happened, yet on the contrary Hephaetus let out a sigh and asked the blue haired individual, "[color=#FF0000]Kisami, is your intent not to help me in my quest to find my brethren? Or do you wish the same fate to befall on them as well?[/color]" Kisami had rose an eyebrow at the somewhat distraught Hephaetus, and replied telepathically, "[color=#0000FF]If they truely are your brethren they would not fall into such trivial mistakes as those fools had. And if they truely did, are they even worth the effort?[/color]" A pause broke between their conversation as the two thought to seek weakness in the others statement. However despite the effort, the two simply left the topic without a conclusion and simply continued on their way in search for another immortal. His rumors were quick to be effective as the posters plastered on walls were quickly read through during the leisure time that was given. "[color=#FF0000]Now what plan doest thou hold to rid of these pests?[/color]" Hephaestus said looking at Kisami with a more superior gaze. "[color=#0000FF]Tricks remain within hand, though since I must complete my goal and your quest, I find that dueling is far more proficient, however bare in mind I will only do so to the bare minimum.[/color]" Nodding in agreement as his plan was to watch the many duels from a more aerial perspective, dodging and avoiding any duels that came his way, for no rule prohibited his refusal if he had not even heard the offer. Many places jammed with duelists, the only place in which he found any refuge was near an abandoned warehouse, in which several extortionist like himself had dwelled. It was like the other places, a set ground with some guards posted in certain areas. Duels here were often wagered points with as many points close to the necessary 100 points that were needed. None in the district had yet to find Kisami, but it would take no delay if they had put any effort in doing so, and for that reason alone returned to his previous location, pondering in a fashion not noticable to others, what he should aim to do next.

[Love of Ghibli]

In the distance of the tournament grounds was a nice little cafe and as duels where popping up like weeds there was Alexander simply reading the newspaper and looking at these kids at the same time. The waiter came and put a nice cup of coffee in front of him and Alexander looked up to see this cute boy who had to be in his early twenties giving him a nice smile. Alex blushed for second for he didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to feel, but this new sensation was rather enjoyable. The waiter left after Alexander gave him a polite nod to say thank you, but the cute boy purposely put his hand on Alex's shoulder as he left. As Alexander went into some kind of love shock he tried to maintain some form of composure. The some kids started a duel not a full two meters away from his outdoor table outside of the coffee shop. They were yelling there turns and which then lead to them yelling at each other with accusations of cheating and misplays. The patrons at the cafe were getting annoyed and started mumbling to each other about what should be done to those kids. This horrid turn of events shook Alexander from his love struck state and he simply listened getting angrier and angrier to where he was crumbling the newspaper he was holding.

Eventually he had had enough of this foolishness. Humans were always complaining about something though the Earth doesn't complain when the humans tear down its forest to build shopping malls. Death to them all, pity about the children though, they were so innocent. Alexander stood up and approached the two little duelist but he took every step slowly, his arms hanged loose, and he was starting to recite something:

[center][color=#000033] Come, shall't thy open thy great book of time[/color][/center]
[center][color=#000033]So this mortal's eyes may gaze in wonder? [/color][/center]
[center][color=#000033]Let me find the true path that shall be mine, [/color][/center]
[center][color=#000033]Before body and soul are torn asunder[/color][/center]
[center][color=#000033]Cronos, take pity on this poor mortal... [/color][/center]

He was towering over the kids as he recite his prose and long story short he convinced them to cancel their duel and accept his challenge to play both of them at the same time. But in terms of location the three combatants moved into some form of alley as to not be seen. While he played them he was continuing his prose.

[center]
[color=#000080]Mans stay upon Earth is all too brief.[/color]
One of the kids had successfully summoned Dark Paladin to his field and the other had just summoned his own Dragon Knight Draco Equiste.
[color=#000080]Grant me some knowledge of what is to come[/color]
Alexander activated a trap card that kept him taking damage from the tag teams onslaught.
[color=#000080]I ask you, O Cronos, for this relief, [/color]
Alexander successfully summoned his XYZ Dragon Cannon. He speech is becoming more menacing his eyes are becoming more manic. The two boys are experiencing fear.
[color=#000080]Speak, speak i command you, do not be dumb[/color]
Alexander points at the two strong fusions the boys summoned, discards two cards from his hand, and they are both shot down by XYZ dragon cannon.

[left]At an unspecified turn the boys are on the ground with their fields bare and as the sun hits the back of Alexander they cannot make out his face they only see his [center]silhouette and the bright red glow of his irises. He voice calms down as behind him the giant VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon has taken shape. He walked up close to the boys and he saw the fear in their eyes [/center][color=#000080][center]Then Cronos spoke. 'That is not to be known [/center][/color][center][color=#000080]Time's secrets must be for the gods alone.'[/color] as he finished his prose the giant mech fired on the two boys and blasting the remainder of both of their lifepoints. His victory was complete and he had acquired his Duel points. His coat blowing in the wind as he simply left those miserable creatures to lament over their defeat.[/center][/left]

[left][center]Alexander returned to the cafe seeing as he never got the chance to drink his coffee.[/center][/left][/center]

The wind blows slowly, picking up leaves, and blowing a girls golden hair back causing her to right it with her hand showing her crystal blue eyes. The girl looks to the sky and speaks seemingly to the clouds passing by..

[color=#ffd700]"Would yu right zis world?."

"If yu could save it from becoming somezing not meant to be."

"Would yu destroy zat world 'You' oh so love?" [/color]



The girl's gaze at the sky is interrupted as she hears a group of boys, [color=#ff0000]"Dam that kid was so stupid, he bet me all 20 points and his deck because we stole his sisters cards! Haha! What an easy win." [/color][color=#ff8c00]"Hey bro, there are some pretty hot chicks here, look at that girl shes pretty cute, thou shes covered up you can see she has a nic-" [/color]The boy jumps back almost instantaneously, as the girl's eye, shifts to them, her gaze cold and creepy.



The young woman looks away and to the other side a boy trying to hold back his tears as he gives his crying sister ice-cream.

[color=#ffd700][i]Sinners.

To pray on children is a terrible sin.[/i][/color]

The young girl gets up, and stalks over to the group of four boys. Her gaze set on them. [color=#ff0000]"Hey she does have some nice tit-" [/color]The Boy jumps back as the woman grabs a hit at her side and draws her blade to them.

[color=#ffd700]"Yu, all four of yu,"

"You are sinners praying on children, and you shall pay for it." [/color]



[color=#ff0000]"H-Hey! Are you crazy-"[/color] The blade shifts and bends backwards and snaps back as it lights up and reviled its self to be a Duel Disk.

[color=#ffd700]"I shall wager all of mie points and mie entire deck, and that boys deck."

"You for verses mie" [/color]



The boys look cocky, and agree[color=#ffd700],"I shall start, Draw. Set one and end mie turn."[/color] The first boy draws his card and activates mystical space typhoon, [color=#ff0000]"Now your spell or trap is gone!" [/color][color=#ffd700]"I shall chain, mie Quick play. Scape Goats."[/color] Four tokens appear from the wind of the typhoons blast[color=#ff0000]."Fine! I'll summon Sangan and kill one of your Tokens!"[/color] The small token sighs as sangan eats it. [color=#ff0000]"Next I'll set one spell or trap and end my turn!" Now if she tries to attack I'll just Use mirror force, then mich will tribute my sangan to summon his caius... [/color]



[color=#ffd700]Now ze time is at an end.

I shall destroy all evil in yur name.

Even if it means destroying that which I must protect.

I shall never let this world become tainted.

That. Is. Justice. [/color]



[color=#ffd700]"Now! I activate Ze Wings of Justice! All monsters I control become Fairy-Types!"

"Now I activate!Swift justice! I'll remove mie fairy Goat token, To special summon Chris, Caster of Justice!" [/color]

The woman appears on the field, her eyes glow as she spreads her arms, a golem appears behind her supplying her with a stone lance and shield.

[color=#ffd700]"Now Chris' effect activates! I pay 500 of my life points to destroy your spell/trap!" [/color]

Chris takes up her spear and throws it at the spell/trap destroying his Mirror Force.



[color=#ff0000]"Wh-what..." [/color]



[color=#ffd700]"Now! I activate ze Spell card! Lance of justice! I destroy my Justice monster and I destroy 1 card you control."[/color]

Chris Glows white as she raises up to the sky. Before a white hot lance strikes down, and through sangans head.

The sangan explodes leaving the spear, as it cools down in to hot metal the blade spelling out 'Justice Served'



[color=#ff0000]"S-so what I still get to search, and I'll add my Tour Guide."[/color]



[color=#ffd700]"Now... I'll activate another Swift Justice! Now I'll bring out! Chi, Beast of Justice!."

" Now I'll Normal summon Balth-kol, Ze wings of justice! Her effect summons the second Archangel!"

" Come fourth Gaebriel, Knight of Justice. Gaebriel adds ze final and strongest Archangel."

"Commander Michael, Knight of Justice!"

"Now! I will show you my Justice. I Ascend my 3 Angels!"



"Cleanse the earth for the third time, Help me!..... HELP ME FROM THIS EVIL!"

"Give me True Justice!" [/color]

A gigantic silhouette appears behind her,

[color=#ffd700]"Chi! Blade Runner! and now Divinity! Give me Justice!" [/color]



The silhouette of Pure light shatters reveling a Gigantic Armored Knight that strikes down at them depleating ing their life points actually causing a shockwave of air, getting the possible attention of many. She pulls her deck away and returns the Duel disk to the shape of a blade, and slashes Quickly taking the stolen Duel Disk and now having 80 points walks away the ground carved by her blade reads. "Justice is Served.", she places her Blade in to it's sheath and walks away to the crying children[color=#ffd700][color=#222222].[/color][/color][/center]

[Lord JZ of the Enigma]

In a small shrine in the town a few girls in maiden outfits began setting up for the big festival, as duelists were not allowed to leave the premises many restaurants shops and even worshiping services had come and taken booths or in this case a formerly run down shrine for the convenience of all the duelists, sweeping the front gate was a rather buxom young woman, she had a kind smile on her face and a wiggle to her hips as she moved the broom back and forth, dust and dirt moving along as she cleaned. "my oh my...people will be arriving soon....." she said with a lazy worried tone, she hurried along and as a group of passerby came to see the shrine she turned to them "hi hi, welcome to waaaah" she yelped as she tripped over her misplaced broom, tripping onto one of the guests, she wasn't terribly heavy but she was smothering him.....with her breasts. "I...I'm so sorry!" she said as she pulled herself back, he had a rather satisfied look on his face, and his girlfriend was none too happy about it, yanking his ear and walking away. "oh....oh no, I lost another guest......boo....."

The depressed little Miko went back to the main area and clapped her hands twice, not at the shrine, but instead at a small flower, not even, it looked like a dried husk, as if it had been planted years ago and was never taken out. "Onii-chan, the tournament started....you like duel monsters right?" she said sweetly to the dead flower. "today I'll play for you~" with that she stood up and bowed, then straightening herself up, looking to the sun with a sweet happy face, she reached in her sash and pulled a deck of forty cards, a few duelists caught look of this and exclaimed how hot it was for a miko to duel. "Thank you everybody, I'll do my best...." she said as she walked away, the smile on her face never leaving. "I'll wake you up......onii-chan~"

[Spirit of DMG]

Seoul was at the front of a crowd watching a duel. One duelist participating didn't seem to have much of a clue what he was doing, and certainly had been out of practice for a while. She had to interrupt with an explanation about how Xyz Summoning worked. He even needed to be taught about Synchro Summoning. After she permitted the duel to continue, the kid lost in only a few turns. "He has no business being here. His Deck hasn't been upgraded since Blue-Eyes White Dragon was ranked as the most powerful Non-Fusion Monster in the game."
The kid sulked away from the duel, having failed to land more than one-thousand points of damage to his opponent. "Hey, kid," Seoul called out after the crowd had thinned. "How many Duel Points do you have left?"
"Ten," The kid answered.
"Well, then I'll wager ten points on a duel against you." The kid looked at her shocked, but accepted the wager, as per the rules.
"Well, since you issued the challenge, I get to go first," the kid said, drawing his card. "I Set one monster on the field, and Set one card."
"That makes it my turn," Seioul stated. She drew her card, and formulated her plan. "I activate Dimensional Fissure and Ectoplasmer," she waited a few seconds as a tear appeared in the sky. "And I'll end my turn by playing Different Dimension Survivor." The kid lost nine-hundred Life Points.
"Hey, what happened?" the kid asked. Seoul explained about the cards she had just played. "Well, fine, then I'll Set another monster and end."
"Fine with me. I'll tribute Survivor to Summon Caius the Shadow Monarch. With his effect, I'll remove your second face-down from the game!" The armored figure on Seoul's field struck at the kid's face down, revealing it to be Feral Imp, and causing the kid's Life Points to go down by another one-thousand. And the best part is that that was just his effect. Now Caius will strike your other monster in an attack!" The attack revealed the face-down to be Giant Soldier of Stone. Seoul ended her turn, causing Caius to be tributed for ECtoplasmer, and the kid's Life Points to drop fourty-nine hundred. The kid had nothing else to do, so Seoul took her turn, Summoning a second Survivor. Only a couple turns later, the Kid's Life Points hit zero.
"You could have at least taken it easy on me," he said, sitting on the ground and holding his knees to his chest.
"I did you a favor, kid. I'm sorry I had to forcibly take your points like that, but if you'd stayed in the tournament, you'd have been humiliated even more badly. At least I waited til people lost interest in this area. Go home, okay? And brush up on your dueling."

[Aqua Girl]

While Jaine smiled up at the sky, a brown flash streaks out from the Shrine, the brown flash colliding with Jaine. As Her vision returns to her from the glomp, Jaine sees the red haired girl in a slightly more reveling Garb than Jaine. The girl smiles at Jaine and giggles, her mocha skin in contrast to her shining white smile. [color=#ff0000]"Ohh! Your cards! Does this mean were gona go duel? Life likes duels Fun things always happen when we go duel mistress~"[/color] The girl smiles, never noticing her hand is griping one of Jaine's large breasts, Suddenly theres an explosion in the distance(From Jeanne's duel.), [color=#ff0000]"OHH! so many things going on!!" [/color]The Explosion shocks Life and causes her to grip Jaines other breast.





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



The golden haired girl goes over to the two kids now closer, can see the boy is 13 and the girl 9. The golden haired girl put on her best smile,[color=#ffd700] "I think these are yours."[/color] She says handing the two children their duel disks with their decks in them. [color=#0000ff]"H-Huh? Where'd you get these lady?"[/color] The boy says, The golden haired girl transfers 40 of the 100 points she now has to the boy and his sister[color=#0000ff]."I have defeated zem.. I am Justice after all. Call me Jeanne thou."[/color] She says walking away from them, going back to her tree. The young girl finally shouts, [color=#ee82ee]"Thank you Justice!"[/color]

[a bad post]

[color=#0000CD]"Miss Bellarose, I have your supplies,"[/color] Marley had finally returned [color=#0000CD]"here's your sleeping bag, I bought a small bag of pretzels for a snack, and got you a bag to hold your stuff in." [/color]Bellarose toke each of the items as Marley handed them to her. [color=#800080]"A sleeping bag Bellarose I thought you didn't sleep with the common people!" [/color]Aphrodite said genuinely shocked. [color=#800000]"There's no telling if there's a hotel here or something and I'm not sleeping on a bench like a hobo that's not how I roll," [/color]Bellarose replied to the Immortal's comment in her head not wanting to speak to the Immortal in front of Marley.

[color=#006400]"Hey girly would you like a duel?" [/color]the blunt voice of an idiot boy came from behind her. Bellarose spun on the boy, he was cute and they were just outside a cafe, Bellarose would have asked him for a drink inside if he wasn't such a pighead.

[color=#800000]"Actually I want nothing from you, except to get out of my sight, womanizers like you aren't my fancy, but since you challenged me I guess I'll play around you first and wager 20 points," [/color]Bellarose replied she wasn't going to get treated like dirt and besides some easy points could do her some good [color="#800000"]"Ladies first, and I'm the lady here, so presenting VZX 46: Uritra, and activate her effect to pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower VZX monster to my field, so here's your co-star VZX 43: Holy Ascendant, [/color]Uritra slashed her sword across Bellarose's shoulder, and her Life Points dropped by 1000 and a young girl on a white dragon appeared next to Uritra,[color=#800000]"Uritra is a tuner monster so... well you now what's next, coming to a theater nearest you VZX 73: Moon Descendent," [/color]a mechanical angel with sapphires on it's dress appeared(2800 ATK).​"Now with descendant's effect I can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon 1 level 4 or below VZX monster from my graveyard, and I'll choose Holy Ascendant," the dragon girl appeared again(1700 ATK) [color=#800000]"one card face-down and turn end."[/color]

[color="#006400"]"That's a great move sugar mamma, but I'll summon Machina Sniper, and attack your Ascendant," [/color]a mechanical soldier appeared and fired a shot at her monster.

[color=#800000]"That would work if I didn't have a face-down, Mirror Force activates... never mind this card is so common you know what it does right?"[/color]Bellarose said as the Trap Card activated and destroyed the boy's monster.

[color=#006400]"Turn end," [/color]the boy muttered.

[color=#800000]"Now for end game, both my monsters will attack and finish you," [/color]Bellarose did this with a bored look. The boy's life dropped to 0 and she collected his Duel Points, which gave her 40. Parched Bellarose walked into the cafe, when Aphrodite appeared beside her,[color=#800000]"Where were you this whole time!". [/color]Bellarose thought at the Immortal slightly annoyed. [color=#800080]"You had things under control I felt no need to interfere," [/color]the Immortal replied nonchalantly as Bellarose toke a table with an older blonde man. [color=#800000]"Hey sweet cakes wanna buy me a drink," [/color]Bellarose asked the man, who had also just come from a duel seeing as he was packing up a duel disk.

Alexander was enjoying his coffee and his passing glances with the same waiter from before. These non-verbal flirtations were starting to become rather enjoyable. Where does it go from here though? What should he do? Alexander knew he had the appearance of a man older than 40 but this kid was clearly younger. He was about to upload himself to the interwebz once again via the cafe's wifi, but of course another duel had to erupt. This time it was between some kid and what some would identify as a girl. You know for a species that complains so much about other species like roaches humans certainly pop up everywhere like them. Alexander had just finished applying some card game Raid on this area and thus cleaning it of its infestation yet here come some more tainting the place with their flawed disposition. Not only that but the annoying commentators who were actually dining at the cafe had apparently rotated out for new ones. New people, new duelist, new complaints, in short a whole new problem. The "girl" did win in the end and while that should have been the end of this annoyance Alexander had not been prepared fro what happened next. The "girl" sat next to him.

Upon her request for beverage Alexander simply looked side to side. He did not move his head at all just his eyes and hopefully this girl was talking to someone who just happens to be not him. Nope he was the only person in the vicinity. He took a sip of his coffee and he simply stared at the "girl" or that is what it would appear to be to anyone else. He was simply checking databases and the all powerful and trusting internet to see if this girl was known and wouldn't you know it she wasn't unpopular.

He put his coffee down and decided to converse with this creature.[color=#000033] Bellarose Aribelle, 16 years of age, current occupation model. You did a brief stint on a popular television program, had a relationship with a couple of pop cultures most attractive male celebrities, and are very good at duel monsters. He took another sip of his coffee and continued to give his analysis. You have no transferable skills. You are in an industry in which the useful life of occupants stops at 29 meaning you are past the half way mark. Your whole life, however short it has been, is based around a fake relationships and your outward appearance. If the general human conception of beauty ever changed your whole life would be meaningless bar Duel Monsters. Which of course is not hard seeing as you barely need a third grade reading level to comprehend the game.[/color] He would know since he was made to teach children the game nevertheless lets continue. [color=#000033]Your clothes are superficially stylized to gather the attention of males but your actual personality is to be aloof and seem bothered buy such attention. In short you are a tease and a detestable creature of a woman. I shall by you a drink equivalent to your worth[/color] he said as he stood up preparing to leave this beast sight. [color=#000033]However if we ever meet again I request that you give me my change.[/color] He proceeded to walk away and all that was left on the table was a nickel and his coffee.

Seoul had seated herself t a cafe, pondering how she was going to find the weakest duelists. She could just keep wandering around, but she needed I did them fast enough to earn her one hundred points quickly. Winnig ten at a time wasn't going to cut it. She had observed a very short duel between a fairly cute girl an an over confident young boy. "That seems to be a trend," she stated. "The more openly confident the player, the less of a reason they have to be confident. Come to think of it, that's a trend I can use to my advantage here. I don't want to ruin their self esteem, but of by some miracle the unskilled participants do make it past stage one, they're going to be far more humiliated than I plan to do." [color=red] "You know, defeating one opponent doesn't give you the right to be cocky."[/color] She put down the cup of coffee she had been drinking, which she felt was worth pulling her mask away from her face for. "Is there nothing that can make the crazy stop?" she whispered.

Amus Leaned against the tree as he observed the many duelists running about. "I'm assuming there won't be an easy way to distinguish the others from the masses?" he asked in his mind. [color=#000080]"[/color][color=#000080]Correct. I wish there was, but we will have to be careful about this. If we try to hard, we could potentially attract unwanted attention." [/color]Poseidon responded as he materialized next to Amus, first appearing as a water vortex before finally taking on a more 'human' form. "Yet if we don't try hard enough, we will never find them." Amus raised his hand up and slowly rubbed his chain. "We will simply have to use a process of elimination. If they lose quickly, then there are not the ones we are looking for." [color=#000080]"And if they are, they are obviously to weak to aid us anyway." [/color]Poseidon calmly added as the two observed the many amateurs dueling near them. Amus merely smirked in acknowledgement. "I do hope the weak are weeded out quickly. A few challenges would be quite nice."

[color=#800000]"What did that..." [/color]​Bellarose continued muttering obscene language until she saw the man was leaving. [color=#800000]"I'm going to kill that righteous piece of trash!" [/color]Bellarose yelled flipping the table, and spun around on the man. The waiter approached her to try and calm her, but she kicked him in the chest winding him and knocking him to the ground. She grabbed the man by his shirt collar and spun him. [spoiler='If Alexander allows Bellarose to grab him'][color=#800000]"How dare you say that about me," Bellarose roared in his face,"do you think my whole life is out there for you to critique, I did what I did and you can just deal with it, got it! A beast is that what you think I am, I am perfection incarnated, not detestable I am your mistress!"[/color] Bellarose finished with her screeching and with one final kick kneed the man in his tenders[color=#add8e6](response)[/color]. She stalked out of the cafe fuming. [/spoiler] [color=#800080]"I've never seen you so passionate before good show!" [/color]Aphrodite teased while at the same time Marley responded with, [color=#0000cd]"He deserved it Miss Bellarose!" [/color]​Bellarose responded to neither

Alexander was leaving and then the unprocessable happened. He first heard noises, the first was the shell flipping the table, the second he heard flesh impact. Was there a physical altercation? He turned around to see the cute waiter reeling over from the kick and then that is when Alexander lost consciousness or better yet restraint. His eyes turned red his mind was not processing new information all he could do is stare at the cute and kind waiter from before getting off the ground with help from the other staff. It was this lack of sense that allowed him to be grabbed by the shell and while she spouted nonsensical, prepubescent, self-righteous garbage all he heard was...

"[i]Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, [color=#000033]CTRL[/color], blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, [color=#000033]ALT[/color], blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, [color=#000033]KILL[/color][/i]" By that point she had finished her rant about herself and she had made a move of violence against his nether regions. Like a sensory reflex when her foot left the ground Alexander swept kicked the other leg so she would loose balance and fall. While she laid on the ground Alexander gently stepped on her left breast and applied pressure to it as he got down lower to look at this beast face. [color=#000033]You are not fit drink the piss of rodents[/color] he said as he made sure she was looking directly into his bright red irises as they were going brighter. He applied more force to her breast almost with the twisted intention of having one concave on itself. [color=#000033]If you ever lay hands on me again I will bust your hymen, reach down inside you, pull out your ovarian tubes, and force feed them to you[/color]. He paused as his breathing was getting rather rapid as if he was a wild dog waiting to maul a meal of course this could be seen on his face.

He then realized that he might have been making a seen as he was doing everything to this shell of a girl in public. He looked as he saw his cute waiter friend stand-up and before the waiter could witness the horror that Alexander had become he stepped off the girl and briskly walked away. Hopefully he didn't make too much of a scene that cafe was rather nice and he would like to come back there some time.

Seoul rushed over the the cute girl now laying on the floor. "Hey, are you alright?" It was a stupid question, but unavoidable. She looked off after the man who had very nearly caused what would undoubtedly have been the biggest scene in the entire tournament, and right inside the nicest cafe Seoul had ever been in. True, the girl had just assaulted the waiter for no reason at all (that Seoul could think of) but that didn't make it okay for someone to knock her on her back and then try to crush her breast. "Come on, why don't I buy you something? I've got a little extra money, and for a cutie like you, it's no trouble."

[deadaim98]

With a sign held up in Kisami's hand, it read out, in a quite bland computerized font, "[color=#0000FF]I win.[/color]" The opponent astounded to how exactly he had lost, simply lost himself in rage and was having quite a fit that he had lost in such a demeaning way. Going back to how the two had even met was one thing that was unexpected in Kisami's part, as he often tended to think that dueling was a far more tedious plan that he would intiate later on, however after he had completed yet another group of 50-70 more idiots in whom had yet again fallen for yet another set trap that he had placed in the said location in where he had told the group that a certain promotional card was being sold, one that could help win every single duel. It was of course a fraud, and with a slightly tired expression, was about to continue his work, till the random, and confident duelist about his age had challanged him while he was quite off guard. He was not very glad that he was now to waste time dueling this troublesome male.

The set points were 25 dp with 1 min turn intervals.
The ambitious male had started off quite headstrong with 3 traps set down, and luster dragon in face up atk mode, then with a toothy grin had ended his turn.

Kisami on the other hand had simply reviewed his hand, placed 3 traps on the field, activated burden of the mighty, and placed Gear golem the moving fotress in face down defense mode, ending his turn with much time to spare.

His opponent drew and grinned as he activated a spell card from his hand. "[color=#00FF00]I activate cup of ace, and if I call right I draw 2 cards.[/color]" And like he had said did just that, all in his favor. Drawing the said cards, he placed a face down exploder dragon and then with luster dragon intiated an attack. In then end result only inflicting damage upon his own L.P, as Gear golem was revealed.

Returning to Kisami, as he looked at the male with a tired expression simply drew his next and last card, and then without any more thought activated dna surgery. "[color=#00FF00]Ha, you think I will let you get away with that? I activate Dust Tornado.[/color]" Though unphased by this move wrote out on his board, "[color=#0000FF]Not so fast, I activate 'Dark bribe' [/color]" In doing so had allowed his opponent to draw his last pathetic card, as he changed all cards on the field to machines. Holding up a new message he wrote this, "[color=#0000FF]I now fusion summon all the monster on the field to special summon Chimeratech Fortress Dragon with 4000 total attack points, now my dragon attack![/color][color=#000000]"[/color] His opponent however, even with a look of dispise at Kisami's move, wore a smug grin, then spoke out before the charging attack was fired, "[color=#00FF00]Not so fast, I activate Mirror force, firing that right back at your monster. Top that noob.[/color]"

Though prepared for the next move simply activated his last remaining trap, revealing trap jammer and in the end negating his opponents negation, and leaving his opponent dumbstriken, as he walked up to the fool and added his points.

"[color=#FF0000]If you could gain this much, why do you avoid the game?[/color]" Hephaestus said with a curious tone, that was obviously aimed towards the bland, and expressionless Kisami, who had simply wrote on his board, "[color=#0000FF]No reason to reply, nor do I have a reason to duel till I find one who is worth dueling.[/color]" And with that serving as his answer no words were said as the two continued their search for the immortals. On their way a certain event had occured near a particular shop, and seeing the group of simple targets to mislead, like the others in which he had so simply done without hassle (excluding the one rather insignificant duel). However upon arrival, something in the air seemed off, and was he had entered the place, he was simply watching a scene as it had developed into rather a strange way. A somewhat tall man around his mid 40's from what he could make of it at least, was pressing a girl down on the ground into submission. It simply went to say that this tournament seemed to have yet another twist besides the sheer exisitence of immotals. "[color=#0000FF]Great.[/color]" He thought in his mind, "[color=#0000FF]Yet another troublesome bunch, best to keep my distance from these people.[/color]" Yet despite his thought, something interesting had riled up in Hephaestus's mind, and letting out a sigh, he knew at that point on avoiding the girl was now a near impossible task, so long as the female immortal whom floated next to him exsisted. "[color=#0000FF]I will keep my distance Hepaestus, no closer to them, then as we are.[/color]" And with that temporary settlement in mind, the two took a seat in the store, and eyed the now two girls with no effort to conceal their intent.

O.O.C ~ Umm apologies for the crap post TT~TT Will try to do better next time...

Life was an interesting case...she always was, and Jaine was okay with this but. "I'm glad you're excited life.....but....Life....stop trailing off.....Life.....you're grabbing my breast in front of the tourists" she then felt a squeeze and let out a small moan, followed by a second hand on her breast. "KYAAAAH" finally her own hand went and gave Life a swift fist to the noggin in a rather comical style. "Life!" after a few minutes of seeing poor Life rub her head of her new booboo Jaine kissed her forehead tenderly, the onlookers beginning to drool from the sight "now honey, yes we're going to go duel now, but remember you need to keep your distance for this part of the tournament don't worry, I'll protect you if something bad happens~" she said in a low, sweet sultry voice while embracing her and calming her down from her various jitters. "now then, go look for those nasty mean old immortals while I go check the explosion, if you don't find any in 30 minutes, look for me...kay~?"

[color=#ee82ee]"Justice Onee-Chan!" [/color]The little girl calls out to Jeanne as she sits at her tree, people keeping their distance hoping she wouldn't challenge them. Jeanne replys earnestly [color=#ffd700]"Herm?"[/color]



The little girl hands her an ice-cream cone, [color=#ffd700]"What is zis for?" [/color]She replays taking the gift, the boy smiles[color=#0000ff] "Its thanks"[/color]

[color=#ff0000]"Ubu!"[/color] Life says as she rubs her kissed head. When she hears Jaine talk in that sultry voice she springs up happy, [color=#ff0000]"Oh yes yes!! I'll go find as many as I can~ Wait.... do I get to destroy them?! :D"[/color] The some what slow but peppy girl says jogging in place. Her breasts not as large as Jaine's, but they still jiggle as she jogs in place.

[i]Cutie, why did the girl call her cutie, was it her clothes... oh she was on of those well that's fine,[/i] it toke Bellarose a few minutes to figure things out, on account of the back of her head throbbing. [color=#800080]"[/color][color=#800080]If I had a mortal body, that man would be a pile of dust right now!" [/color]Aphrodite fumed at the harm of her charge though not always on the same page as her Aphrodite cared for Bellarose. [color=#800000]"Heehee, well thanks, I'd love a drink, but I don't know if this ruins your day, but I don't play for your team, if it's any consolation your outfit, is a little odd, but very cute,"[/color] Bellarose said to the girl leaning over her. Aphrodite though was distracted by somewhat distracted by something else a man in black robes, [color=#800080]"Hades, it's good to see you, it has been far to long how have you fared," [/color]Aphrodite acknowledged the other Immortal [color=#800080]" I take it this girl is your host?" [/color]Meanwhile Bellarose had picked herself off the floor and seated herself at the girl's table [color="#800000"]"Actually hon, do you have a partner tag duels can be such a bother 2 against 1."[/color]

[Spirit of DMG]

[color=#ff0000]"Aphrodite? I've actually been quite well. I'd be better if my host would actually acknowledge my presence." [/color][color="#000000"]Seoul shook her head, and took a seat beside the girl. "Well, my day's not ruined, but I don't have a partner. Oh, waiter, a coffee for the lady, if you would." She rested her head on her hand, and gave her a once-over with her eyes. "By the way, it just occurred to me that I don't know your name. I feel like I should recognize you from somewhere, but I can't figure out where." [/color][color=#ff0000]"Isn't she in one of those magazines you look at? The fashion one?" [/color][color=#000000]"Oh, name is Seoul, by the way. Seoul Kageshima. Thank you for the compliment." [/color][color=#ff0000]"See, Aphrodite? I can't get her to recognize my existence."[/color]

[a bad post]

[color=#800080]"Oh, this could be a problem could you just give her a headache or something that's how I get Bellarose to notice me whenever she has the tendency to act rude," [/color]Aphrodite toke a seat on a table and crossed her legs, and saw Hephaestus at the other end of the cafe, [color=#800080]"oh Hephaestus dear why don't you join me and Hades we're having a pleasant conversation, I agree though with my charge you and Seoul should join me and Bellarose, we will be safer in numbers from the acolytes of Kronos."[/color]Bellarose leaned over the side of the table, and gave Aphrodite a look, but then returned to Seoul [color="#800000"]​"Well darling you just found yourself a partner, and of course you should recognize me, I'm Bellarose Aribelle the fashion model, you should really pay attention to... to... uhh," [/color]​Bellarose had forgotten the Immortals name,[color=#800080]"Hades, Bellarose ,Hades I'm sure your smart enough to remember that," [/color]Aphrodite returned Bellarose's look. [color=#800000]"Yeah Hades, hon by the way this is no dream, he is real and the threat your hear for is very real, you really should pay attention to him," [/color]Bellarose told Seoul in a more serious tone she had used in long time.

[Spirit of DMG]

Seoul looked back at Hades, then to Bellarose, then back to Hades, then sighed. [color=#40e0d0]"Well, what have I got to lose? My sanity? That's already gone."[/color][color=#000000] The waiter walked over to the table and set down a cup of coffee in front of Bellarose, setting it nearly in the same spot of the table Aphrodite currently occupied. [/color][color=#00ffff]"Well, if it wins me a partner for the tournament, then I guess I can indulge this delusion, especially if that partner is as cute as you are," [/color][color=#000000]Seoul said with a smile. [/color][color=#ff0000]"Well, it's a start,"[/color][color=#000000] Hades said, cossing his arms at the girl. [/color][color=#ff0000]"Hepheastus, have your host join us. We need to solidify our numbers against Kronos. I'm sure I don't need to remind you of why we're here in the first place."[/color]

[a bad post]

[color=#800000]"Awww your a sweety, trust me there's a lot of sanity left to be lost," [/color]Bellarose said sweetly as she picked up her coffee. [color=#800080]"Darling trust me we might make you crazy, but at least were not trying to kill you, I still don't get why humans would ally themselves with Kronos, he seeks to oppress and destroy them, really what do they gain by releasing him?" [/color]Aphrodite spoke to Seoul then Hades, [color="#800080"]"we should start by comparing decks and duel points lagging team members can join with someone and as much as I hate to say this we'll gang on some of the less experienced and take their points, and besides it's best we knock as many people not involved in this affair as possible, so to prevent them from the cults harm."[/color][color=#800000]"Wow Aphrodite I thought were the mistress of beauty not the mistress of knowledge, anyway, here's my deck, it was custom made as a publicity stunt, you may or may not have heard of them they didn't catch as good as my mother would ahve hoped." [/color]Bellarose spread the cards on the table for Seoul to see.[color=#800080]"Oh Bellarose you have much to learn beauty comes in many forms besides the physical, and I'm an omnipotent Immortal to a certain extent I'm obviously going to have a little bit of knowledge, by the way if I ever get a physical body I'm going to slap you." [/color]Aphrodite looked at her charge with a mischievous grin.
