The older Dark Dorm student did a small hand gesture towards one of his lackeys, causing the latter to toss him a Duel Disk. It was the old model, produced way back in the day by Kaiba Corp, only with two added zones sticking out of the top left and right. The guy was snickering in response to the heated reactions he was getting, as well as Nathan's desperate struggling for an excuse. Even the way the calmest boy of the bunch was creeped out by his antics only served to make this student's excitement grow.

[color=8493ca]"Alright, this is what I'm talking about! Such strong emotions, and the [i]fear[/i] in some of your eyes! You lot, you really made my night by coming here..."[/color] the boy's grin became a little less stretched out, but his lips parted sligthly to reveal the pearly whites underneath. The boy placed his Duel Disk on top of his arm, letting the strap take care of the rest and shoving in his deck to activate it. It was around that time Maisy spoke up, the amusement soon vanishing from the boy's face.

[color=8493ca]"Callin' that bluff o' yours, girly. Even if you did have a camera, there's no way you'd tell us 'cause we could just take it from you. Dunno which one of you this 'Haas' is, but either way, I think I've settled on my opponents..."[/color]

The guy cocked his head as Amelia was shoved forward, forcefully as the first target. [color=8493ca]"What, you thought I wasn't gonna do this? Sickos! Hahahaaa...!"[/color] He mocked the group, then gestured to another person in it. The calm, black-haired boy. Joshua also got shoved forward, after which the lackeys holding the other five slowly pulled them further back in the room. Some other lackeys had taken seats in the audience, jeering Amelia and Joshua. Their opponent just stood on the other end of the arena with confidence, not even bothering to activate his disk yet.

[color=8493ca]"Well, what're you waitin' on? You don't have any chance of escaping without beating me! And if you refuse to duel..."[/color] The silver eyed fellow reached for something behind his back and gave a small tug, taking some kind of metal cord with him. Nobody could tell what it was from just that, though.

[color=8493ca]"...I got ways to force you."[/color][hr]The person staring down Angelo and Camryn didn't budge at all in response to Angelo's provocation, also remaining stoic in response to Camryn. A smile noticeably started to form when both of them got onto their Duel Runners, though. [b][color=fff79a]"Hmph! You dare make the mistake of standing up to me? Very well, I acknowledge your foolhardy bravery! I shall grant you your wish to suffer a crushing defeat by the hand of the one and only [i]king[/i]!"[/color][/b]

The monowheel Duel Runner turned 180° again, but the person in it still looked back to both of the Turbo Duelists that challenged him. Or, more specifically, Angelo. [b][color=fff79a]"Boy... Your words just now, don't let them be hollow! If you have this much confidence, then prove it to me in this duel!!"[/color][/b]

With those words, a prompt came on the dashboard for both Angelo and Camryn. Their runner asked them to select a Speed World, giving them the choice of all three. Meanwhile, the 'king' in front of them already started to rev up his engine. The fact that Virtua was even an option meant that this person must have been a student as well, or someone involved with the production.[hr]Haas ruffled his hands through his head, everything was so confusing at the moment! [b][color=aba000]"Aaah, both of you shut up for a moment!"[/color][/b] Haas suddenly yelled out, taking a few deep breaths afterwards to calm down. He needed a bit to collect his thoughts.

[b][color=aba000]"Listen; I'll explain it in detail later. For now... well, me and Hayate are staking it out to see if anyone passes by. Students have been gone missing, so I figured they might be sneaking out-"[/color][/b] Haas had begun to give Hayato the lowdown, but then his ears picked up on footsteps coming from the stairwell. He flinched and grabbed Hayato by the shirt.

[b][color=aba000]"Quick, hide!"[/color][/b] Haas quickly ordered him, but didn't really give the other boy a chanced. He dragged both him and his sister underneath the desk; quite literally hauling Hayato over it in merely a few seconds. Haas was capable of some crazy feats of strength when he wanted to.

As the trio hid underneath the reception desk, they could see two pairs of legs making their way over to the other end of the room. A few seconds after, the sliding doors suddenly slid open. Thinking this was the chance, Haas jumped up to stop whoever just left. Unfortunately, by the time he looked, they'd already vanished.

[b][color=aba000]"Oh [i]SHOOT[/i]! Hayato, Hayate! Let's go after them [i]now[/i], they might be in danger!"[/color][/b]

Haas was in a slight panic, no doubt. The moment he got a chance to figure out what was going on, the ones that could give him the answers already left. He himself started to make a dash out of the front entrance, hoping that whoever passed by hadn't gone too far yet.
