Outside of Hikari: Cards are now Diamonds

[Ninetalesuk]

"I-I-I-I-I-I... *Yawn* That's it... I-I-I-I-I'm gonna get... P-P-Professor Viper!!!"

And the great Chazz stomped off...

See how he focuses...

See how he's determined...

(SPLASH!!!)

See how tired he is... he walked into a pond!

[kelik]

He sweatdropped at Chazz. "Eesh, poor guy..." He turned back. "Is that right? These Number cards seem interestin'...if it weren't for my new card, you might've won."

[YolkaEd]

@belowski@

"...true, man..." Belowski hummed, before he smiled. "...but I dunno if I feel like having that card on me anymore, man. I've been on this dueling kick ever since I got it, so... I'm just tired right now, man." With a small yawn, he picked the black card off the ground, before handing it to Jesse. "You can have it, man. I don't mind."

[kelik]

He blinked and took it. "You sure? Thanks alot." He smiled. "You should take a break. Dueling so many times in a row can't be healthy."

[YolkaEd]

@belowski@

"...yeah..." With a small nod, Belowski let out a loud yawn. "...I don't do lots of duels to begin with, man... I'm gonna sleep it off..." With that, he lied down on the grass, cradling up as he began snoozing softly.

Thus, Jesse was then surrounded by lots of sleeping teenagers.

[kelik]

He smiled and rose up, looking the card over. "Hm..." He put it away...and realized his problem. "...uh. How the heck am I gonna get the gang out?!"

[YolkaEd]

"...indeed."

@viper@

And, at that point, Jesse would suddenly feel an intimidating presence behind him.

[kelik]

"!" And that made the young man jump, and turn to the older man. "...I uh...I can explain!"

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

"...name." he spoke, his expression remaining hardened.

[kelik]

"Eh? My name?" He blinked. "Jesse Anderson, sir...."

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

"...I see." Viper hummed, as he glanced around; seeing the Hikari School student passed out, the delinquents from the day before, Chazz in the pond, and the culprit snoozing by Jesse's feet. "...you said you could explain, Anderson. Explain, then." he spoke firmly.

[kelik]

"R.right!" He nodded. "Ya see, this kid here started duelin' everyone, and had these weird powers that made everyone around him go to sleep. That's why everyone around here's snoozin'. I dueled him to make him stop...." Crazy story was crazy.

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

"...so you're saying that this brat can make people fall asleep." Viper hummed, before he glanced at the slumbering Belowski. "...curious."

[kelik]

"Uh yeah, he can...he ain't a student here, is he?"

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

"...obviously not." Viper remarked, as he knelt down by Belowski. "Look at his uniform. It's tattered... but it's reminiscent of the uniform worn by the students of Domino High." His eyes narrowed. "...whether or not the uniform is his or not, I can't say... but why target the students of Hikari School with this power of his?"

[kelik]

He rubbed the back of his neck. "Good point. He said he was on a duelin' kick, and a card made him..." He wasn't sure if he should keep going.

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

"...a card, you say?" With a hum, he began looking through the cards scattered from Belowski's Duel Disk. "Curious..."

[kelik]

"It ain't there..." He said, now that he knows he'll look hard for it. He held it up. "He gave it to me after I beat him."

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

At that point, he looked at Jesse and the card. "...let me see that." He reached out and took the card from Jesse; reading it. "...Xyz? Number?" Even he seemed clueless about it. "...hm... most curious..."

[kelik]

'Oh boy...' Yeah, he felt like it might've been a mistake. "Yeah, that card's real odd, gotta say...still got no clue how everyone's gonna wake back up."

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

"...they'll wake up on their own time... the boy included." Viper hummed, as he glanced at Jesse. "In the meantime... you managed to defeat a card like this, Anderson..." He eventually nodded. "...I believe the headmaster would be interested in learning about this."

[kelik]

"Course he would..." He looked aside. "Think I can have it back then? It's got some pretty risky powers around normal folks."

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

With a hum, Viper handed it back to him. "...provided you follow me, to meet with the headmaster." he spoke firmly.

[kelik]

His eyes went wide. "Meet with the headmaster? I don't think...!" But then again, he could find out what's happening with Jaden. Maybe he could even stop it...and get more answers out of this crazy mess. "...on second thought, that might not be a bad idea."

[YolkaEd]

@viper@

"...you seem reasonable, Anderson." Viper hummed. "More than the other youth from the day before..." With that, he began walking towards the school building. "Follow me. Don't fall behind."

[kelik]

"Err, thanks...I guess..." He stepped forward.

As a little critter floated infront of him, squeaking.

@sapphire@ "Ruby's right, Jesse. Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Not entirely...but this might be our only chance to help J. I ain't gonna let it pass by." He smiled. "Besides. I got you all to keep me safe."

@sapphire@ "...if you're sure. I don't like this, but we'll be with you." With that, the two vanished.

"Thanks..." He followed Viper quickly.

[Ninetalesuk]

Meanwhile...

(SPLISH! SPLASH!)



"....okay.... did Jaden Yuki cursed me with comical bad luck when I joined this school...?" He dryly asked as he headed back to school... dripping wet and dripping mad...

[YolkaEd]

Some time afterwards...

@viper@

...Viper knocked against a pair of double-doors in the top floor of the building. "...headmaster, it's Professor Viper. I have someone I think you would find... quite interesting."

[kelik]

And Anderson was close by, looking around the halls. "Huh, maybe he ain't here..."

[AnT]

"Who isn't here?" a calm ghastly voice spoke.

And walking down the classy hall was the headmaster, himself, with his cape-life hair flowing from his movement.
