Revelation Heart : A Yu-Gi-Oh Roleplay

I'm a long way from home.

It was the only thing Kaito could think as he saw the inside of the duel arena; even putting aside the technological marvel that was the arenas themselves, split into four and all currently in use by one applicant or another, the room itself was large enough that everyone in his hometown could have fit inside it with plenty of room to spare. It was enough to make him stop and stare, his mouth hanging open as he ruined his normally stoic appearance by acting like a country bumpkin.

The whole day had been like this so far, one amazing sight after another from huge ferry to the endless city to the campus itself. He'd seen cities before on TV, he wasn't completely out of touch with reality, but seeing it in person was another thing entirely; the size, the scale, the grandeur. It was intimidating, in a way, it made him feel small and out of his depth; it made his stomach do flips.

Seeing the duel arenas, the holograms and the duels taking place was reassuring, something familiar, a place he understood. He could compete there, level the playing field. It was a relief.

He found the teacher he was supposed to be duelling just as her last match ended, the applicant walking away with a dejected look on his face, and Kaito eagerly stepped up to take his place. "Okay, let's get this started."

Cleo Forsberg

Latin District, Meeting

The young woman in the alleyway gave a start as Noon called out to her in spite of her precautions to keep herself hidden until she chose to reveal herself; had he been able to detect her presence so easily, or had it simply been a lucky guess that she was nearby somewhere, or maybe even just idle small talk made towards her Servant on the assumption that she would be watching through his eyes? She supposed in the end it didn't matter much; she had already decided to put herself at risk tonight by accompanying Saber and revealing herself to her allies, hiding away until the others arrived had just been one last precaution before that moment.

Cleo stepped out of her bounded field but stayed within the alleyway itself, moving forward just enough to be able to see the modern day knight while hopefully not exposing herself to the Servant positioned on the Pantheon so far away. "You're not the only one to keep me waiting Mr Triswich, and you're not the last to arrive, so I'll forgive the inconvenience."

"Stay close to me Saber. Keep an eye on the Servant you saw earlier."

Turning her head in the direction of the Pantheon, although she couldn't see it through the building forming one side of the alleyway, to try and draw Noon's attention in that direction. "There's another Servant nearby. The others haven't arrived yet but if we stay here we might draw unwanted attention; I suggest we move this somewhere else for now and find Caster and her Master later."

I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

It would seem that things wouldn't be as easy as he had hoped. The spell did not form as easy as he had expected; there was more to it than just creating a solid sphere-like object by combining two spells together. Much like with the Light Ring the Wall spell wanted to take on its own shape, and the Sprite allowed it to do so if only to see what it would do; unsurprisingly, it flattened out into a thin disc-like object, fitting the idea that this spell was to be used to create a barrier between the user and any incoming attacks.

It was clear that in its current form the Wall wouldn't stop much of anything; it was too thin, too flimsy to provide an adequate defense. He would need to strengthen it before it would be usable in combat, but how to go about doing that? The Wall needed to be stronger, harder, so it would withstand an attack. It was similar to how when he had created the Mana Dart, when he first fired the projectile it had simply crumpled on impact; it had the shape of a dart but didn't have the rigidity to actually piece what it hit. It was the same principle here.

He could compress the mana, shrinking the size of the barrier while making it harder by increasing the density, much like he had with the dart. However, this would increase the cost of the completed spell as well as making the barrier so small as to not provide suitable coverage, especially if he wanted to use it to protect someone other than himself. Perhaps there was a way to harden the mana, change its actual properties, rather than just adding more.

Oberon tried to do just that, concentrating on the disc of mana in front of him as he attempted to somehow produce a shift in the substances properties, to turn it from a floating circle of energy into a solid pane. It was unlike anything he had tried to do before and honestly he had no idea what he was doing, simply attempting to use intent more than anything like logic to affect the mana.

If that didn't work, then perhaps he should try using a different kind of mana entirely, something that was already suited towards this kind of magic to begin with. Nature, Light and Fire; none of those would work, with the possible exception of Light. Instead he thought of Earth, something he had little experience with, and tried to bring forth the same kind of energy he had seen Digbie using a few times; he had seen the Goblin using Stone Shot back in the cave, he had seen the Slime Mage creating spires of rock and he had himself learned how to use Sacred Ground during the previous nights training sessions. If he couldn't make the mana solid, then he would make it rock instead.

Kaito Morita

Name
Kaito Morita

Age
15

Personality
“Still waters run deep”; it might be an old cliché, but it is certainly a good description for Kaito. His usual calm and composed exterior and his ability to keep a good poker-face when under pressure mean most people see him as an easy-going, uncomplicated individual. Those same people would likely be surprised to learn of the turbulent thoughts that go hidden behind his mild façade.

His drive and desire to win, his fear of failure, his frustration at setbacks and his relief when he succeeds; all of these are hidden unless they become strong enough to make waves on the surface.

History
Growing up in a small coastal town, the latest in a long line of fisherman, the sea has been an ever present force in Kaito’s life. He learned to swim almost before he could walk, took his first steps on the deck of a boat and has barely been far away enough from the water to stop smelling the tang of salt in the air his entire life.

His father was often away from home on long voyages, sailing into deep waters for days or weeks at a time to haul in big catches, leaving Kaito in the care of his mother and grandfather; his was under his grandfather’s stern but supportive influence that he was raised, learning how to swim, how to fish and, strangely, how to duel. Kaito’s home town could be a little behind the times but like almost everywhere else Duel Monsters was a popular past time and one that had caught the young boys interest when he saw people duelling at school. He wanted to take part and when he got home he told his parents as much; they were supportive and agreed to buy his a duel disk, but it was his grandfather who showed the most interest.

The old man had been a duellist in the past; having bucked the trend and become a merchant sailor rather than being a fisherman he had travelled to many different places, met many different people and at some point had taken up duelling as a way to pass the time or make some extra money. He used his past experiences to teach Kaito how to play and helped him to build his first deck, one inspired by the raw power of the ocean and similar in nature to the deck he used to play in his youth.

Under his grandfather’s tutelage Kaito soon became the second best duellist in his small town, second only to the old man himself. As he grew older and his skills developed, he began to feel like a big fish in a small pond; he was in love with Duel Monsters, but there was a distinct lack of challenges in the opponents he usually faced anymore other than his grandfather, and even their duels were familiar to the point of boredom now. He wanted to attend a duel academy, find stronger opponents and hone his skills even further.

His father objected to the notion, disliking the idea of his son being the first in generations to pursue a career unrelated to the sea, as a duellist instead of a fisherman like himself. His mother meanwhile was undecided and it was up to his grandfather to sway them into letting Kaito do as he wanted. They eventually conceded, albeit with a promise that if Kaito failed he would have to return home, and he applied to Mitsuri the next day.

Jangar, Khan of Bomba

Canal District, Opposite side of the Canal from the Cite

Lancer stood beside his Master within the confines of the bounded field, also staring across the canal at the location of Caster’s workshop. His civilian clothing from the previous night had been replaced by his robes and armour, signifying their change in priorities compared to their last excursion; his spear like an oversized novelty item was propped against his shoulder in a relaxed pose, though the Khan was ready to bring it to bear in an instant should the occupants of the museum show any signs of having noticed their presence.

“Attacking an enemy in their fortress is rarely a wise approach; the advantage goes to the defenders more often than not, unless you can catch them by surprise. That said, I am no stranger to assaulting strongholds; I had a slight reputation for doing so in my youth. If you give the order to attack I will follow your command and do my best to bring our enemies to a swift end.”

Cleo Forsberg

Latin District, Waiting

Ever the cautious one, Cleo had hidden herself within a bounded field as soon as she and Saber had arrived at the location of last night’s meeting; strangely enough she had chosen the location of Noon and Yazhu’s fight, an alleyway tucked in between two buildings, as her hiding place, though she had no idea that was the case. Regardless, Saber speaking out loud was probably enough for anyone listening in to realise she was here somewhere even if they didn’t know where exactly.

“If they died last night then that was their fate; we will have lost both an ally and an enemy and neither are that important given the scale of this conflict.” Seeing Saber wave at someone Cleo used her connection to the Paladin to see through his eyes for a moment, seeing further and sharper than ever before as she spied a figure standing atop the Pantheon some distance away. “If Ywain is dead then we have all the more reason to fear Archer.”

Saber had already said Archer was a bigger threat to them than either Ywain or that Lancer from last night. If he had managed to kill another Saber Servant, and an Arthurian Knight at that, then that meant their own chances of victory were low. “We’ll wait a while longer. If no one arrives then we’ll consider this alliance broken and go meet the Lancer and his Master.”

Master Goichi stood up slowly, holding a hand to his stomach over the wound Dyce had left and moving with obvious care, and looked Korvus up and down. Whatever he saw in the cyborg he seemed to approve of as he reached out a hand for the young man to take, wordlessly consenting to being taken to the hospital.

The two disappeared a moment later, leaving Ryuhei feeling apprehensive as he waited. Though it was only a minute or two later when Korvus reappeared, without Goichi this time, it felt a lot longer to the impatient young man. “Was everything okay?” A small nod from the cyborg was all it took to calm his nerves, a small grin appearing on his face. “Alright then. Should we get going? I’d like to see this temple.”

“You’re right. We’ll need to defeat all other Servants eventually, which means it’s important that the ones we allow to make it to the final battle are those that we can beat.” Cleo turned to look at the restaurant Ogier indicated, pausing for a moment to look through the window at the interior before moving towards the door and opening it. “As contradictory as it sounds we need to ally ourselves with people weaker than us, people who aren’t a threat to us.”

Once inside a waitress hurried over to them and led them to the table for two and left them with a pair of menus. Cleo idly opened hers up, barely paying attention to the words before her as her mind stayed focused on the conversation with Saber. “To side with the Caster and Knight who will make for a stronger alliance, or to side with the Eastern Lancer who we know we can kill with less difficulty if need be. It’s not an easy decision Saber, and the wrong choice means my death; or maybe both choices lead to death and what I decide is pointless. Either way I have until tonight to decide, so give me time to think in peace.”

The waitress came back to take their order and Cleo asked for a simple omelette and a glass of water; after taking Saber’s order as well the young woman left once again. “I will join you tonight; I should be present for any further negotiations, if only to put people at ease. I’m not strong though, Saber, not strong enough to defeat another Master in a fight. Combat is not my forte, so if anything happens I’ll need to rely on your protection.”

Cleo Forsberg

Residential District/Breakfast Run

The streets of Paris were still busy even at this early hour, though not as populated as they would be in a few hours when all of the tourists had woken up. The people who passed her on the street were the ordinary denizens of the French city, people on their way to work or out to do some shopping; a few likely looking for a place to eat breakfast like herself.

The first night of the war had been eventful, to say the least, but not in the way Cleo had expected; two separate encounters with enemy servants on a night that was supposed to be about scouting rather than engaging, both of which led to offers of an alliance rather than deadly combat. It shouldn’t surprise her, joining forces with another Master to increase your chances of surviving until the end of the war and then fighting amongst your remaining allies was a smart strategy, certainly smarter than trying to go it alone; even so, the idea of putting your trust in someone you knew was planning on stabbing you in the back eventually, while you plotted the same against the, wasn’t particularly appealing. It didn’t look like Cleo had much of a choice however.

“What do you make of the Servants you met last night Saber?” The first thing she had done this morning was purchase some clothing for her Servant, something she had not been able to do last night when she wasn’t even sure what he would look like before summoning him. It allowed the pair to walk around Paris together, without the need for Saber to remain in his spirit form. “What is your opinion of them as a Paladin or Charlemagne?”

Ryuhei ran towards the entrance of the dojo as soon as the pair touched the ground, jogging through the door past students carrying rubble out into the street and hurrying down familiar hallways towards the training room where he had last seen Master Goichi. When he reached it, he found Goichi still sitting where he had left him, the older martial artist already looking in his direction; no doubt the man had sensed their power levels approaching.

“You’re alive.” There was no expression on Master Goich’s face that showed he was surprised or pleased by this fact, just the same gruff exterior he always had. Nonetheless Ryuhei couldn’t help but grin as he heard the small hint of relief in his master’s voice.

“Yes.” Ryuhei walked forward and stopped in front of Goichi before giving a small bow of greeting. “You were right; I wasn’t the only one there to fight Dyce. In fact, I barely did anything before he was defeated.”

Goichi lowered his gaze to the floor and nodded. Just as he had expected Dyce much have been targeting a number of powerful individuals other than them and must have made a lot of enemies along the way; although he could defeat them one or two at a time, when everyone he had left alive grouped up to fight him he didn’t stand a chance.

“There was, ah, there was one casualty. Everyone else survived because of him.” Goichi raised his eyes back to Ryuhei only to find his student now looking at the floor, the young martial artist thinking back to the scene of the young man holding his master as he died.

“Who’s the other fighter you brought with you?”

“Ah.” Looking his master in the face again, embarrassed to have momentarily forgotten Korvus and his reason for coming here. “Someone from the battle. He’s here to take you to the hospital. Don’t argue! You’re hurt and everyone can handle the clean up without you.”

Master Goichi snapped his mouth shut, his objection quashed before he could even voice it. He rallied quickly however, and soon had another argument ready. “And what about your training?”

“There’s a temple to the north of here. One of the fighters is heading there and invited to rest of us to join him. Apparently it can make us all stronger and it might be useful to learn some new techniques; they were vital to defeating Dyce.”

“Hmm, fine. Let’s meet this friend of yours.”
