[Event Post]
::The Wonder Quartet ends, the field fading across the city, and those gathered in the wreckage of the Chaos Ancient Gear Giant and close near them, Yuya and Sora, find themselves being looked down upon by Akaba Reiji, Serena (albeit being treated by a medic) and Kaiba Corp's Swat Team, and Leo Corp's Top Team.
Sora notices the man and his men, and steps back a bit, before pounding a button on his Duel Disk, disappearing. Reiji clears his throat, being handed a megaphone, clicking it on.::
We need to talk.
no subject
We have also developed cards designed to do the same.
no subject
Are you sure that either of these things even work?
no subject
I employ scientists and engineers who have been working on this for several years. As well, we have had the chance to study similar technology from... I believe they're known as the "12 Dimensions".
no subject
*When the realisation hits him, Yuya's eyes go wide and his head snaps up.*
Similar technology from the 12 Dimensions?!
You don't mean... the card I let you look at ages ago?!
no subject
Yes. The very same one.
no subject
This was back when I first recommended adding Action Cards to Action Duels. You've been planning this for that long?!
All you said to me back then was that you were interested in the difference between our cards and those from the twelve dimensions!
Which means you knew about Academia even long before Yuma's home was attacked!
no subject
As I told you, everyone and anyone could be an agent of Academia undercover. Secrecy was of vital importance. Not that it didn't stop agents of Academia from bombing Leo Corporation's Domino Branch.
no subject
*Shark thinks back. He did hear about smoke being seen at the place, but that was a bombing?
He was way more concerned with the duel between Shiunin and Kurosaki at the time, coming up...*
no subject
Just before Shiunin's Duel against Kurosaki. The former of which I expect was responsible.
no subject
Tch.
*Yuya continues scowling at Reiji.*
Even if some secrecy was needed, couldn't you of told others?! Couldn't you of told us?!
There were tons of people who you sent into this who didn't know what was going to happen and they're probably cards now! You've been doing nothing but playing us all like puppets!
And now Desdemona-sensei...
... and Yuzu too...
...they're...
*Yuya breaks off as he's overcome with emotion. He lowers his head a bit before a stream of tears starts falling down his face.
He's crying.*
no subject
Wait-- did something happen to Desdemona?
no subject
There was an Academia general. She was after me, but Desdemona-sensei stepped in and dueled her instead...
...she was protecting me, but she lost and we weren't able to help her.
She was turned into a card right in front of us.
no subject
The evident confusion is clear on their expression, but they sober up quick enough-- either way, it's apparent that what happened to Desdemona, she essentially "gone".
They take a deep breath, taking a moment here.*
... That general person was after you?
no subject
Desdemona-sensei told us before that happened to her that Academia was after me and Yuzu, but she didn't know why.
Now she's gone... and Yuzu is too.
no subject
... And I regret that.
But if I bothered telling you, all of you would of dismissed it out of hand without firsthand evidence. The moment I mention "From a parallel universe", everyone else has basically shoved me out the front door, laughed in my face, or tried to have me committed.
No never mind how many people could be spies or "Manchurian Candidate" sleeper agents. And not to mention the fact you act like you're the only one with problems here, Sakaki.
no subject
*Yuya's head snaps up and glares he over at Reiji. Tears are still streaming down his face.*
There's a whole bunch of people here who's been affected, I know that!! I'm just mad at how you dealt with this whole thing! I'm mad because there are people who aren't here now who should be, BECAUSE OF YOU!
You thought none of us would believe you? So your answer instead was just to throw us head first into a lion's den, see who survived or not, then who did would be a part of this Lancer's thing?! Without letting us even know what we were heading into?!
That's not right, Akaba Reiji! NONE OF THIS IS RIGHT!!
no subject
::Thinks to himself that he hadn't thought of it as throwing them into a lion's den. Best to try and grab this by the horns, though.::
As I said, no one here would of believed it or would of just thought it was a bonus edition to the quartet. People needed to see the problem first-hand, to understand the stakes. And I only allowed in people who were calculated to have a high chance of survival, in the first place.
::Presses up his glasses.::
Or are you going to keep having a temper tantrum all day, like a child?
no subject
*Yuya grits his teeth hard as his glare turns into a very hard scowl. His fists clench tightly by his sides.*
I saw my teacher, who was PROTECTING me, get carded right in front of my eyes and my best friend is missing and has also probably been carded by Academia to! And all you're concerned with is I'm having a temper tantrum?!
You know what TO HELL WITH YOUR LANCERS, REIJI! To hell with EVERYTHING!
I just want them back! I JUST WANT YUZU BAAAAAAAACK!!!!
*And before anybody can even stop him, Yuya lunges straight at Reiji, bringing his fist up swiftly and directing it straight towards Reiji's face.*
no subject
::... 'He actually thinks Hiiragi was carded? What an emotional child.' ...
Reiji grabs Yuya's fist, squeezing hard with his free hand, throwing the megaphone aside. Reiji seems to have a surprising muscle to them. And then flings you back.::
If you have any so called pride as a Duelist, Sakaki, you'll turn that anger towards Dueling instead of acting like a violent animal.
And if you win, I'll even repent however you wish.
no subject
Tch!
Fine! Then we'll duel and I'll make you repent for all of this!!

[ACTION FIELD, ACTIVATE MAIAMI STADIUM]
::The master grand stadium of our hometown forms around us, as Action Cards form in the air and disperse around the field.::
