[New Horizons - LDS Post]

[ruleroftheend]

::Standing in front of a major assembly hall is Akaba Reiji, President of Leo Corporation.

He stands there before swinging his arms outwards, his glasses shimmering:

"We are on the cusp of a new age in both in terms of the World and in Dueling. In such an age of rapid change, people look to pillars of normalcy for what they seek. And they look for heroes. Legends. And as such, it is our duty, the duty of the Leo Corporation and Kaiba Corporation, to seek forth New Horizons.

We must be bold, and take action, to find the new talent hidden in the sands of the unseen and the unknown! We must challenge our knowledge of the world! We must expand the limits of what a Duel is as far as possible! This is the ideal of the Leo Corporation! An ideal we've held since we created the Real Solid Vision System!

And we are glad to push the limits further with the help of our rivals, Kaiba Corporation and Duel Academia, who seek to push Duels to the zenith as well! Let us march forth and seize even greater heights! I expect every one of you to beyond the limits!"

He finishes and then teachers start showing up sorting and explaining various programs.

Among the options of things to do here:

A) Action Field Stamina / Obstacle Courses in the center miniature stadium behind the school, for running through various dangerous environments. Including them are a Temple of Doom set up. And a space station. Or a frozen temple. And even a volcano.

B) A Riding Duel exhibition match. Waiting for you is a girl wearing a helmet, snapping on riding gloves. You see traces of pink hair. The D-Wheel she has provided her is a modern generalized model, but she's basically picked a generic black demon-dragon esque unit.

C) Sit in on one of the Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Ritual courses.

D) Sit on one of the above in actual training.

E) In a side stadium, there's an offer of an Exhibition match with three pros from Team Eibon waiting. Specifically, it involves a man who looks like a ninja and a man wearing a tacky zoot suit. There's a larger guy hanging back, but he's staying in the back. The man with the zoot suit seems to be turning away anyone who doesn't have a WATER Deck or at least a WATER ace to his partner.

F) If you're feeling particularly ballsy, you could enter an Exhibition match in general to show off your skills.

G) Or you could just be hanging out in the lobby, gawking at this list of Courses.::

*Yuma is totally running the Action Field Obstacle Course on the Temple of Doom set up! He's dodging rolling boulders, arrows being shot at him, pit fall traps, the lot!

Well, he wasn't dodging them that well at first, but this must of been the fifth time he's run through it and he's getting better and faster at dodging things with each try!*

[arknpcs6]

::From the shadows unseen, an old enemy unlodges a jammed boulder with spikes, before slipping into the darkness. Start running Yuma.::

[kattobingore]

*Yuma looks around and OMG WHERE DID THAT BOULDER COME FROM?! THAT USUALLY DOESN'T MOVE!
With that Yuma starts running for dear life!*

[arknpcs6]

::The boulder's catching up to you, but there's a brief opening in the wall you might be able to survive in!? Provided it isn't an arrow trap.::

[kattobingore]

*He's willing to take the risk!!*

KATTOBING!!

*And he jumps into the opening!*

[arknpcs6]

::The boulder rolls past and falls into a deep pit quite a ways past, but jumping over it looks like it would end badly for you.::

[kattobingore]

*Yuma looks over the edge and down the pit, he really managed to dodge a bullet there!!
But, he did dodge it! So he lifts his arms up triumphantly!*

YEAH!! I DID IT!!

::You come across a young woman looking at the arrow traps. Who picks up a series of pebbles, kicking them, which jam and break the machines.::

Re: [Separate Thread]

[kattobingore]

*Yuma stops on the course when he sees her jam and break the machines.*

Oh man, why'd you break them? It was more fun trying to dodge them!

Re: [Separate Thread]

[icequeen_rio]

I thought breaking it was an objective.

Re: [Separate Thread]

[kattobingore]

Eh?! You gotta dodge the arrows!!

Re: [Separate Thread]

[icequeen_rio]

I am. By disabling them.

Re: [Separate Thread]

[kattobingore]

But the thrill of dodging them is the best!! It's MUCH more exciting than disabling them!!

Re: [Separate Thread]

[icequeen_rio]

A difference of opinion, I suppose.

[littlemissmyrmidon]

Kiko hasn't bothered you yet through all of the events so:

She can be found running a small lap that involves jumping over the same pit trap over and over again.

And gives a small wave!

"Hey Tsukumo!"

[kattobingore]

Hey Kiko!!

*He waves back!*

Guess you decided to go for the obstacle course too!!

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"Yeah! I'm trying to get used to obstacles on my parkour runnings, like this pit. I want to try to be able to get over it without a running start.

...So probably another few hours. What about you?"

[kattobingore]

Oooh! That sounds totally awesome!! I'm just practising running quickly through the course and dodging stuff on the way!!

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"Huh? How's your time going? I hope you're getting faster, Tsukumo.

Tell you what, at the end of the day, come find me, and we'll race through this!"

[kattobingore]

Haha! You're on!! I've definitely been getting faster with each run through!!

[littlemissmyrmidon]

"Good! You're going to need to kattobring your best!"

[kattobingore]

Haha! You know I will!!!
