Chapter One: Liberator of the Academy
My mind was racing. I could hear the rapid beating of my heart as I sprinted down the hallway. I didn't know where I was running to, I just knew I couldn't stop running.
"Just a little more..." I murmured to myself as I made a break for the door at the end of the hallway.
As I burst through the door, out into the courtyard, I skidded to a halt. All I could see was hundreds of people turning their attention to me one by one. Students, teachers, even maintenance workers were all staring at me.
These were not normal people. They were reversed.
"A-Am I th-the only one left?" I stuttered.
It had been 2 years since this weird phenomenon had first started. At first a few chosen cardfighters had tried to defeat the reverse fighters by themselves, but things got out of hand. The remaining people formed a resistence and we held out for a while but were never able to make much progress.
Throughout our time in the resistence camp, we learned that the whole world had been affected by this phenomenon. Apparently some mysterious cardfighter travelled all around the world, reversing fighters as he went. At that point, almost everyone around me lost hope.
Eventually, the resistence camp was ambushed and overrun. I think I was the only one who managed to escape. That was 3 days ago and I've been running ever since. I couldn't stop running. I had to get away from the Reverse fighters. I had to get away from her.
"This can't be happening..." I thought to myself.
The courtyard was illuminated with a red tint from the glowing black ring in the pitch-black night sky. Hundreds of Reverse fighters were creeping closer to me. I spun around into a sprint in the opposite direction but was knocked to ground by something standing in front of me.
My blurry vision was able to make out a female figure standing over me. I edged back as she took another step closer.
"Koutei, won't you be with me once more?" the girl had an innocent smile on her face, but the look in her eyes was far from innocent.
The girl held up her deck. It was resonating with the evil aura of Reverse. I was able to make out the front card,Silver Thorn Dragon Queen, Luquier Reverse. The girl let out a psychotic laugh.
"No... Kat, don't do this." I sobbed.
I glanced behind me and saw that the mob of Reverse fighters was getting even closer. With them behind me and Kat infront, I had no direction to escape to. There was only one choice.
I pulled my deck out of my deck box. I didn't want it to have to come to this, but it was my only option. A red panel appeared infront of me. I placed my Spinbau Revenger facedown on the vanguard circle and shuffled my deck.
Suddenly, I heard noises behind me. I turned around and saw that something was happening. The mob of Reverse fighters' attention was no longer directed at me. Their gazes were set on something else. They all seemed to be looking up.
As I lifted my gaze higher I found the source of the the noise. On the roof of one of the buildings, about 10 storeys up, stood a shadowy figure. The person was wearing a cloak that concealed most of his body. It was too dark to see what his face looked like. The one feature I could make out properly was the blue color of his fringe.
"This ends now!" the mysterious blue haired person shouted.
The mysterious figure reached into his cloak and pulled out a card. He held the card up into the air.
"Nation Saving Lion, Ezel Scissors!" The figure shouted. The card began to glow.
"LIMIT..." The card glowed even brighter than before.
"BREAK!" Rays of light shone out from the card and illuminated the dark sky. A high pitched sound was ringing in my ears. Suddenly, the huge black ring in the sky shattered and dissipated into nothingness.
As I watched, I saw the Reverse fighters collapse one by one. I looked up one more time but could not see the mysterious figure anywhere. I turned around as I remembered what was happening.
"Kat!" I tried to lunge for her hand as she began to fall to the ground. Instead, I found myself losing consciousness. The intense bright light and the high pitched noise ringing in my ears must've gotten to me as well.
I felt myself begin to fall and everything went dark...
