A: Return & Possession

[It's a repeat of his first arrival: the grueling ViViD game of his world torn apart and the whip-lash tone of the powerpoint right afterwards. Not that he clearly remembers because his mind is locked up in his own thoughts but not his own memories. Burning buildings, everyone screaming, the tell-tale flashes of purple lights, laughing...

Yuzu...There's still a chance, right? No, no. Not in this place. Not right now.

He's not strong enough to begin with, but now he's even more powerless.

Every word presented to him is blocked out, and Yuya rises when it's over, feeling numb and jittery. He allows himself to be escorted out of the building, and continues onward down a random street. Yuya should recognize where he is, should know automatically how to navigate to his home away from home, but there's no reaction. Dark thoughts cloud his mind: his failures and his losses, screams and laughter and fire--

How kind of CERES to release a ticking time bomb onto the streets. Shadows like flames build up in his wake.]

Ghhhhh-! [Yuya's made it a ways away before his knees buckle and his hands dart up to clutch his head. It's all too much, and the shadows flicker at his feet, lick at his legs before flowing freely all around him like a dark aura. Mouth gaping and eyes wide open in a pained yet horrified expression, a pained scream is ripped from him as something from the deepest part of his very existence catches him. It was invited by the commotion of thoughts swelling inside of him, anger and despair mixed finely into each other, and Yuya......well, he's in no state to stop it now. He's not strong enough. But with Yuto, together they can...

A second before the darkness takes him, flaring up in his eyes with a red unearthly light, Yuya feels so alone. He remembers that Yuto isn't there.

The red blocks out his pupils, and a bright white light pushes forth at the center, swirling like a vortex. Yuya stands then, back straightening, and the duel disk on his arm activates. Only one card is pulled from the device and activated, and Yuya announces the monster's arrival in a deep tone:]

Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon.

[The dark dragon materializes with a rumbling hiss that builds into a roar as it stretches and its back extensions (where its wings should be) open and extend, forming blades of light.

Anyone around to witness the event will feel the rolling shockwaves emitting from it.]

B: Break It Down

[The first yells and initial commotion cause the police androids to appear. It's likely to be expected given that he's in the research district, of all places. But whatever is possessing Yuya isn't about to come quietly. He continues walking. (To where, though, is a good question. For what purpose, another.) And although Yuya shows no signs of acknowledging the robots as they approach, Odd-Eyes Rebellion turns toward the officers that aim to surround and intercept its master, letting out a warning hiss. There's orders to 'cease and desist', and when they move to apprehend him, the dragon knocks a few over with the swing of its tail and rushes the next.

It's a little too much.

The dragon slams two androids into the nearest building, powering through the wall while its blades slice through the rest as it goes. The structure's weakened too quickly, and with more shouts joining an unsettling creak, the building begins to lean sideways and collapse. Dust and rumble explode into the air. A shocked silence follows, hanging only for a few seconds before distressed screams interrupt it.

The only reason Yuya manages to stand up in the aftermath, wipe the dirt calmly from his shoulders, and keep walking is because the dragon returned to shield him. It too, rises again and follows.

Feel free to try to stop Yuya or try to bring him back to his senses. Reinforcements will be arriving on scene soon. Hide him or hand him over?]

ENDGAME: Closed to Yuzu

[He's made it past all the distractions and obstacles, had Odd-Eyes Rebellion plow through the robots trying to arrest him, and had several duels along the way. Still, Yuya walks looking slightly worn down and roughed up, but still moving nonetheless. It's unlikely that CERES would stop looking for him, given all the damage he's caused.

But ignoring the potential new wave of adversaries, Yuya as slowly picked up more pieces to the puzzle as time has passed. Deep down, he remembers this strange world and the friends he made. Everyone who had called his name, the ones he looked towards as obstacles in his way, slowly added to this insight despite the lack of control over himself and awareness of his actions, like shining lights through murky water.]

Threaded | Flat

[the morning had started like any other morning in Cerealia. England had gotten up early to go to the library before work, since he wanted to get some reading materials. by now, he's completely healed of all injuries and... cravings... that had happened because of the tour.

he's just left the library when he hears a scream, and he's not going to ignore that. he starts heading towards the noise, his scarf flapping in the wind. he comes around the corner just in time to see ~~one of his babies~~ Yuya looking like he's in pain]

Yuya!

[he calls out to him, but then the dragon appears. what is going on?]

[The research district has been the center of all commotion as of late. For that reason, IV has been making it a habit to drop by when he can. Thus, while he isn't surprised that another drama is taking place, the sheer destruction as well as the sight of Yuya in the distance, surrounded by debris and a dragon, shock him into pursuit.]

Hey, Yuya!

_{[There's a commotion. Yuto hears it and quickly makes his way towards the source of this noise. Yet the moment he sees that dragon, he freezes in place, eyes widen in both shock and terror. He watches as the building collapses, falling down, but there's Yuya (is that him? It's not a trick is it?) standing there, but Yuto doesn't have time to think or react. Everything happens so fast.

But the dragon shields Yuya, yet the relief Yuto feels dies out almost immediately, fear once again showing in his eyes. He can almost see himself in Yuya now, as a terrible memory flashes through his mind. A memory of when Yuto was possessed by something that made him wish for nothing but destruction.

If Yuya hadn't saved him back then--

Is the same thing happening to Yuya now? But why? And what is that dragon? No, he doesn't have time for this. Yuto clenches his fist, fear quickly surpassed by determination. He has to save Yuya!]}

Yuya!

_{[He calls out running up to him, standing in his way.]}

Yuya! Listen to me!

[It's not a huge surprise, perhaps, that Leia recognizes his dragon first. She doesn't necessarily remember its name. She may have only spoken to the boy only once (so far), but his video with his precious friends left an impression her.

The moment she steps out of the train station and into the district, she knows she picked a bad day to come.]

What is...

[She looks down. Her feet are unsteady, and she wobbles despite standing still, shocked--but she can't stay that way forever. She makes a run for it, into the heart of the action like a reporter should.

Seeing him as someone not quite himself, full of despair and hopelessness, she freezes.]

Yuya...?!

[The name nearly dies on her lips. Did she remember it right?]

H-Hey! Yuya, it's me! Remember?

[Leia chases after him when he fails to acknowledge her presence. She can hear those police androids in the distance already, which isn't good... or maybe it is. She gets the feeling she's in over her head, but she has to do something, and there's no time to call for back-up.

What happened to him...?]

[He wasn't there to see the beginning--to see the rumble and countdown of a sight he had seen before. He wasn't even there in time to reach the building before it collapsed, though perhaps that was for the best.

With wide eyes he watches the dust clear on the scene, and he runs forward in the few moments he has; the shockwaves did not blow him back after all, and he fully intends to help his friend in any way he can.

He knows what 'this' is--or at least...he thinks he does.] YUUYA! [he calls, shouting himself hoarse over the air as he charges. He has his disk ready if he needs it, but for now he aims for Yuuya and only him, ready to pin him down and haul him off if need be, just like last time.]

YUUYA--!!

[Ever since Yuya's disappearance, Yuzu has been feeling completely miserable - with Shun's earlier disappearance, she'd almost written him off immediately as not returning (since when have their friends ever?)

But then she caught a glimpse of him, and lost it immediately as he continued his rampage at a speed she could not keep up with... still, the trail of destruction he left was not especially subtle, so here she is in its wake - standing on Bloom Diva's floating floral stage, just in case she needs to reflect shout some sense into him. For now, though, she'll just shout normally.]

Stop! Don't you dare walk away from me again, Yuya!

[She barks orders as though his crazy huge dragon doesn't phase her. In truth, she's terrified. She doesn't understand what's making him act this way, or if this is even the real Yuya at all - it could be a trick, like what they pulled with their dads at Christmas, but she doesn't care if it is. All she wants is to see Yuya again. But not like this... whatever this is.]
