duelacademynpcs | [DUEL FESTIVAL

*It's the seventh day of the Festival, in the morning.

And to a lot of people's surprise, it seems like everything's getting packed up. Most of the booths and stands are closed down and getting put away, but it looks like the day's main event is still planned to commence. On the schedules everyone can access, there is only one event for the arena: "Wonder Quartet".

Up until this point, everyone assumed this to be basically a regular tournament to top off the event while everyone enjoyed their final day, but it seems like there's something more, with how hurried the organizers are.

Notably though, around the areas where screens are set up to show dueling video, online streams, and at the arena, there's two countdowns present-- one being for in a few minutes to something simply noted as "Announcement", and the other being for the oft-rumored "Wonder Quartet", a half-hour after that, starting at noon.

Best thing to do right now is to head for the arena, or watch one of the screens present or on your computer/phone/internet device of your choice.*

*he doesn't recall your name-- but he knows that presence! You're one of Yuya's friends, and from the school!

He seems visibly relieved once he realizes who you are, like he's been on edge until this point.*

Would you believe that I just wandered to here?

[...

....well, he IS blind....]

I have no choice but to believe it, as it has apparently happened.

You are in the middle of the Wonder Quartet. A battle royale put together as part of the Duel Festival. It would appear I've found you before the tournament officials.

Well, I'm somewhat relieved for that-- no, I'm very relieved. There's something off going on here, but I can't figure it out... *Fortune Tune twitters a bit, but they sound worried as well.*

I hate to bother you on it, but... Do you know where Yuya is right now?

I do not. I've been trying to avoid Yuya for now. I want to duel him at the end of this battle royale.

That's fair. I don't want to get in the way of your intentions. But... *he grips at his cane a bit tightly.*

I think... something's happened to him, though.

[Gongenzaka's eyes narrow.] Something...like what? What makes you think that?

Well... Easiest way I can put it is that I can sense presences of living creatures, including people.

And while I can tell where Yuya is, and I was heading for him to get some help here, his presence feels... wrong. I'm not sure what it is. I need to get closer to him to tell what it is.

*he was about to get out his phone and run, but-- damnit, he was spotted. He keeps his hand out of his pocket, his disk on his arm. Just stay calm. You knew this would happen.*

Just who are you to demand that of me?

...

Can you tell where he is right now?

Yes. He's in... wherever that area is.

*he points in the direction of where he was trudging towards. slowly. The Jungle zone, it looks like.*

There are also a lot of presences there and around. Ones that I felt very suddenly just a while ago, like they didn't exist before then.

Let's go. This man, Gongenzaka will take you there!

*he seems surprised at first-- but then he smiles*

I have no complaints about this, thank you.

I see you're beginning to realize just how far I exceed you, Khang. The only reason I lost previously when we Dueled Sakaki, was I wasn't expecting you to be a rabid dog!

You're not even on Hiiragi's Level!

::Flexes his hand before thrusting it forward.::

I Special Summon Test Tiger from my hand!

::A cute tiny tiger appears next to the Crystal birdman.::

By returning Prisma as "Bestiari" and Tributing this card...

::Test Tiger meowls as it vanishes along with Prisma.::

I can Special Summon "Gladiator Best Darius" from my Deck!

::A horse appears, swinging a whip, snapping and cracking it back and forth.::

This card will be the end of you, Khang.

Crap, it's that resurrection combo...!

Exactly!

Darius, revive Bestiari!

::The horseheaded gladiator snaps its whip, as Bestiari erupts from a portal.::

Now! Contact Fusion! Tamer for the King of Kings! And the hunter of beasts! Fuse together in the depths of the dungeons! Come forth, the Gladiator of the Emperor! Gladiator Beast Gyzarus!

::The creatures merge as a giant falcon erupts and Hayate leaps on its back.::

::Looks around the fortress hall, as her legs start moving, dragging the ball..::

You want to see the power of the strong, Khang?

::Grabs a torch from the wall, flicking it to the wooden ground, as the place catches fire.::

If you can deal with this handicap, you'll be on my level.

::Laughs as the virtual but very hot flames spread.::

::Shakes her hands, quaking.::

I'd suggest moving.

Gyzarus, upon being Summoned, destroys 2 cards on the field, I destroy your two Set cards!

::The giant bird fires harpoons at her cards, impaling them.::

::Starts running again, as Amazoness Onslaught and Cosmic Cyclone shatter.::

cantgiveupcantgiveup!

Edited 2017-10-22 15:27 (UTC)

Onslaught and no monster... either a bluff or you had a Amazoness Queen sitting in your hand. Too bad, Khang.

::Places another monster on his Disk.::

Finally I Normal Summon Gladiator Beast Laquari.

::A tiger-lion man appears, flexing among the flames.::

No cards on your field... this is the end of the line, Khang!

Gyzarus! Laquari! Get her!

::Leaps off the falcon as it swoops forward and steps on her ball's chain, shattering it, and pressing on the remains, holding her in place as she falls, and Laquari pounces at her.::

::Grunts, pushing herself an inch forward to an Action Card hovering among the spreading flames. Flicks her hand, grabbing, and slams it into her Disk.::

Action Card, "Big Escape"!

::She rolls away into the flames.::

... I'll give you a mark for that at least, but we both know your situation is nearly insurmountable, here.

Just give up. Turn End!

::Waves as his monsters return to his side.::

::Takes a deep breath, hacking on the virtual smoke. She looks over the field, her hand, Hayate's monsters.

'It's always hopeless for me, isn't it?' She thinks to herself. 'Always one step behind. Always outsmarted at the last second. None of my Senpais care about me... Maste Godogawa will throw me away. I've. Got nothing. I'll have failed...'

She gulps. 'I'm crazy... crazy for even considering this... It'll do nothing.'::

synchronize...?
