[Center][B]"The Casual Spot"[/B] [I]Rat's Nest[/I][/CENTER] Ysabel sat in a chair, in a rather empty room. She stared silently at the stone floor in thought, worried about Ned. She was also very irritated, not understanding how she let this happen. Her foot violently tapped against the floor. She slowly glanced over at the radio, before trying to turn it on. Nothing happened. In response, she violently smacked the radio, which caused it to turn on. [B]“Valiiiiiiinnnnn Rooooootoooorrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!”[/B] She nearly fell backwards, the sound of the MC introducing Valin shocking her. She quickly turned down the volume, narrowing her eyes as she stared at the radio. Just in time to catch one of Valin's duels. She had a gut feeling... This one was it. He was getting knocked down this time. [B]“New Domino City! Are you ready to see Volspire Dragon and his King conquer another Duelist today?”[/B] She could hear the crowds, the excitement. Everybody was so excited to see Valin duel. He was truly a superstar, everybody loved him. Everybody wanted to see him win- Well, almost everybody... Ysabel listened as the duel began. She had to admit, Valin was a good duelist. It wouldn't be easy for anyone to beat him. But somebody had to be able to do it. She wanted to hear one day of his defeat. She'd praise the man or woman that kicked him down. That person would be a true champion. She sighed, as Valin seemed to grab control of the duel quickly, and more than that, he was already setting up his big play. Again. [B]“Now, behold as my monsters unite, combining their strength to Ignis Summon forth a formidably powerful beast! ‘VOLSPIRE DRAGON’!”[/B] The cheers. All for him... For Volspire Dragon. That monster was powerful. More powerful than anything she had in her deck, most certainly. She looked back at the floor, clenching her hand into a fist as she continued to listen, praying for some sort of comeback before this attack happened. "Come on... Come on...!" [B]“‘Volspire Dragon’! Attack with MAELSTROM FLARE!”[/B] The radio instantly cut off as Ysabel grabbed it and threw it, effectively yanking the cord out of the wall. Just as she did, the door opened. Dexter and Leah were about to enter, though quickly they had been stopped by the sound of the radio smashing against the wall beside them. "Ysabel..." Dexter groaned, keeping a strait face. He walked inside and walked towards the radio, kneeling down. He observed it, wondering how long it'd take to fix this time. "Ysabel..." Leah muttered, walking inside after Dexter. She had a small bag with some lunch for all of them. "I-I know your worried, and frustrated... But you can't let it get to you like this." She tried to be reasonable, an obvious frown was on her face as she held up the bag. "I brought some lunch for us... There's extra for Ned, he'll be back soon." "You both really trust Sector Security don't you?" Ysabel asked, simply getting questionable glances as a response. She stood up, and crossed her arms. "They don't do hardly anything for us, they can't! You expect them to get Ned back?!" She was becoming hostile, and Dexter was one to try and calm her down before anything got more out of hand. He stood up and turned around, adjusting the goggles on his head. "It's not that I trust Sector Security. It's that they are more equipped for the job than we are. None of us are physical forces, we would be easily beaten down by those who took Ned. We aren't staying here because we want to, Ysabel. You have to understand that we are staying here-" "You're scared!" Ysabel spat, making the man in front of her become silent. She shook her head, grabbing her Duel Disk off the table and walking past him. "You're not looking for Ned because you're scared?! Imagine how scared HE is! He's sensitive! You both know this!" Leah stepped aside, not wanting to be in Ysabel's path as she headed for the door. "I'll look for him myself! I can't wait around here any longer, I can't trust that they'll find him! They know as much as we do!" She stopped right as she began storming out the door, making Dexter and Leah stare at each other. "Dex, do you think she's right?" Leah asked softly, her eyes obviously expressing a lot of concern. Dexter didn't look at her, instead walking back over to the radio. He sighed deeply, beginning to pick up the pieces. Leah sat the bag down as she got no response, and felt even worse. "Dex..." "She'll be fine." Dexter assured, a small smile was on his face as he stood up with the radio in his hands. He turned around, walking towards his desk. It was a very worn down table, but it was good enough for him. "She's always been like this, even since we were kids. She charges into things head-first, and comes out on top. Some call that stupidity, but it's really her showing how brave she is. Braver than I am..." As Dexter stopped, the room went silent. Allowing him to begin work on the radio, which would hopefully be finished by the time the week was over... [Center][B]"The Streets"[/B] [I]Rat's Nest[/I][/CENTER] Ysabel walked down the old, dirty street leading away from her hangout. She was determined to find Ned, and wasn't going to trust Sector Security with the task. At least alone. She couldn't truly argue with them if they helped her, but she wasn't going to trust them to do it by themselves. She felt bad for how angry she had gotten, frowning and looking down at the ground. It was uncalled for. She worried for Ned greatly though, he was like a little brother to her. "Ned... Where are you?" She asked, starring at the road ahead of her. Nobody she could depend on. She was used to doing things for herself anyways, and once she found the thugs that kidnapped Ned... She didn't care how big they were, or how many there could possibly be. She was getting him back, and showing Dexter and Leah that they needed to take action more often. Especially for one another. "How have they not learned this by now?" She grumbled, shaking her head. She felt a mixture of anger and sadness run through her, and Valin's duel hadn't helped her. She needed to try and forget... But she couldn't. It was impossible for her to forget Valin after he just ditched everyone. "Focus on the task at hand, calm down... Calm down..." She repeated to herself under her breath, as she continued moving forwards. Keeping her eyes peeled for anywhere where the gang could be held up. The depressing part about that was that they could be literally anywhere. So much ground to cover... Her feet were going to hate her for this for many weeks to come.
