[DUEL FESTIVAL - DAY 7]
*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.*

Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
Ma'am... If it isn't prudent for me to ask... are you sure there isn't anything else I could be doing, other than just gathering intelligence? It feels wrong to be standing by the side while everyone else is moving and putting forth a clear effort towards this.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
[Her eyes can't be seen from Sonia's vantage point, but, it's easy to get the feeling that they're moving up and down, taking her in.]
Are you volunteering to fight?
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
*she's having a lot of guts to even be asking this. it's beyond her. But she wants to not feel so aimless with this...*
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
[A hand reaches out and grabs Sonia's arm and lifts it up. A finger taps an area on her Duel Disk a couple times. The functionality may not exist on this disk she's wearing right now...but on an Academia disk, her hand would be in the area that turns a person into a card.]
Tell me...have you ever done it, before?
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
But then she steels herself.*
I need to be able to do something... even if it means taking prisoners like that. I'm prepared for it. I've been prepared for it.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
Your dedication is admirable. It is...unfortunate that, being what you are, most within Academia would be content to ignore that. Simply cast you aside.
As you are...you have little hope of reaching your full potential within Academia, Sonia.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
I... I know that. But I if I have to... I want to be of use. It's the only thing I can do, doing what I can...!
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
If you follow me. You'll reach your full potential.
[A hand reaches out and lightly takes Sonia's chin, tilting it up.]
You and I can do great things, together. Academia will have no choice but to acknowledge you.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
*of course, a bit in the back of her head is telling her, something's wrong here. something's off. but one of the generals of Academia is offering to her a chance to show herself. To show that she can manage this and be better than how she's been treated.*
I... I would be honored to follow whatever you wished of me, ma'am.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
Then, I'll give you a test. If you can apply that confidence, that dedication, that tenacity...prove yourself.
[She holds up a card in her hand: Shaddoll Fusion.]
And I'll give you this.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
What... What do you need me to do, then?
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
There is a girl, participating in this battle royale.
[She taps a button on her Duel Disk. A picture appears:
She is essential to the Professor's plans. We must secure her and take her back to our dimension.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
That's...! I know her!
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
She... looks a lot like our Lady Serena.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
There is significance there. Not for you or I to know. But the Professor says she is vital to the Arc Area Project.
Do you understand the importance of your task, Sonia?
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
Glory on the Academia, Sonia.
Re: [Kaiba Land - Ancient Ruins Zone]
*she gives her salute, before quietly slipping away to track down Yuzu. She needs to find her, now.*
