Author Note: Headcanon. It's here. The one where I theorize that Harald is the love child of Dartz and Siegfried von Schroeder. And that Harald was a awkward and unattractive teen.
The Sin of Wrath
"Now let the hate contaminate." I say.
"You have to be kidding us, he's Wrath?" Breo asks. "Why isn't it me? I was a biker and a bezerker."
"Yes but you are not Wrath because the sin fits him better." I explain.
"Breo why would you want to be Wrath anyway, he said it was brutal." Andore asks.
"I don't, I'm just saying." He mentions.
"I see."
"Well before you guys interrupted again where were we? Ah yes, now let the hate contaminate."
The scene explodes to show Harald dueling Yuusei after his WRGP duel.
"Harald you're getting a bit excited aren't you?" Yuusei asks.
"Excited, yes! I'm having fun!" Harald laughs.
"But you should calm down you could really hurt me."
"Can you not take it Yuusei?"
"I can but we are friends aren't we?"
"Yes, why?"
"Whenever we duel you try to hurt me and you seem to take pleasure in it."
"Don't be ridiculous! Now let us duel!"
"Hmmn, that proves nothing. I urge you to stop." Harald frowns.
"No way, I want to see how this is going to be! Our Stoic leader giving into his emotions is too hard to resist!" Brave smiles.
"You seem to have forgotten what you have done." Harald says frowning even further.
"Ah okay, I am sorry for taunting you." Brave smiles.
Harald shifts form one foot to the other and then back again in a nervous rhythmic motion. The scene changes to a young boy with a tall man with aquamarine hair.
"Who the hell is that?" Breo asks.
"Isn't that, that guy from the history books?" Jean asks in a politer and less biker-y way.
"Yeah I think he had something called DOOM or DAMA or something like that." Andore answers.
"DOMA." Harald corrects. "And Breo he is my father."
"And shocking twist!" Jack screams.
"Seriously?" Aki asks.
"Something you need to know, pain will set you free." Harald's father tells him.
"Free from what?" Chibi Harald asks.
"From things that distract from The Great Scheme. The world has lovely, terrifying and hideous things planned for you."
"How can it be lovely if it is indeed hideous and terrifying?"
"By being beautiful, just like you will be."
"So you are saying that I am a monster?"
"No, that you will be something to be feared and adored, that is the curse of my blood."
"But I am not all your blood."
"But you are enough."
"I see."
"Remember pain is the only thing you will ever truly understand so it's best to understand it well."
"I will prove you wrong."
"We'll see. Now tell me what this Odin you speak of is?"
"No."
"Then face my Wrath."
"And yet your point is still as numb as my feelings of anger, please stop this unnecessary thing.
"But daddy did something to help you later in life didn't he? When you were in Sweden and you were sick of that woman that stole your precious things, you got rid of her didn't you? And daddy fixed it." I smirk.
"Don't you dare." He snarls long and slow.
The scene explodes again to show Harald younger but older than last scene in an alleyway.
He kicks a woman on the ground.
"Fuck you." She screams.
"How dare you! How dare you! How dare you! You keep stealing from me without repentance and know you are going to pay!" Harald shrieks.
Grabbing a fistful of short spikey blonde hair he lifts her up to face him.
"Tell me why!" He screams.
"Because I hate rich bitches." She spits.
He bangs her against the wall.
"That's the only reason! You have made my life hell since I got here eight years ago! And I am done! DIE!"
"Well it's not my fault that gay guys wanna go straight cause of you. Or maybe he settled for a male slut cause he couldn't find any female ones?"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Harald bangs the woman against the wall for every up.
"Why should I?" She coughs.
"I will kill you unless you shut up!" He replies.
"Alright."
"Yes then!"
He drops her and proceeds to kick her a few more times before smashing her head against the concrete in rage. She spasms and drops.
"And that is why you don't steal from me. Get up. Get up. I am serious; I didn't hit you that hard, I have had worse, get up. Now get up. You're dead aren't you? No, no, I have to cash in the favor." Harald breathes deeply.
He pulls out a phone and dials a number that shouldn't work.
"Hello father, I have just killed a woman and I require pick up." He says calmly.
"I see. Alright, you do know that this is your only favor right?" His father asks.
"Yes."
"Okay, I will have my people take her. I already traced the call the moment you said hello Harald. Walk away."
"Yes."
He takes a few steps and glances back at the woman.
"We have a problem."
"What?"
"She walked away."
"And there you have it, the first instance of your Wrath, let's see the most pronounced." I grin.
"So you killed some woman?" Jack asks after a pause.
"Yes." Harald barely whispers.
"And she walked away?"
"Yes."
"Damn."
"Yes."
"Are you alright?" Brave asks to his partner.
"I require the end of this." Harald speaks in monotone.
"Not until we see the ultimate act of sin." I smile.
"Was she a friend of yours?" Dragan asks.
"No, don't be stupid." Harald replies.
"So she stole your boyfriend?" Dragan asks, again not exactly getting it.
"Yes." Harald answers.
"I'm sorry but you killed her?"
"I didn't mean to, and Brave did worse. He killed me for money."
"Oh so you say that me killing you quickly was worse than you beating a WOMAN to death for stealing your boyfriend?" Brave asks.
"That wasn't it, she stole everything. Things that were special to me. My other father's trinkets that were given to me when he died and things that my father said were heirlooms and things that belonged to my late uncle Leonhart. Everything precious to me she broke or stole. Tests were shredded, cars were smashed, computers wiped and cards burnt." Harald explains.
"So why didn't you tell anyone?" Dragan asks.
"Because she wasn't there when these things happened. She had extra ordinary abilities similar to ours and Team 5D's and Unicorn's. She manifested a poltergeist card to destroy and steal things and who sane is going to blame a ghost?" Harald laughs.
"I see but you didn't have to kill her!" Brave cries.
"I know." Harald frowns.
"Now back to the ultimate Wrath." I smile.
"Never enough is it Brave?"
"No, I need to make sure that nothing bad will ever happen that I can't afford."
As they talk Harald gets more upset and stands by the edge of the roof.
"And because you are such a quiet man let's broadcast your thoughts." I smile.
Brave runs up and shoves him off and Harald lets out a deep sigh.
. But… I don't want to die. I hate you. Killing me for whatever selfish reason. I hate Dragan too. I hate him for thinking he's the very best, no one, and I mean no one is better than me. I ha…' He thinks as his body smashes against the ground.
The scene flashes forwards to the duel with Dragan.
"Hello dear." Harald smirks.
"H-Harald, you-you're alive?" Dragan stutters.
"Why yes I am and now it's time to duel." Harald smiles.
"Harald please, why are you doing this? You are the most noble man I have ever met so why?" Dragan sobs.
"Because I hate you with every part of my being, now duel!" Harald smirks again.
"But I can't hurt you!"
"But I can and will! I will make you love me!"
Dragan sighs and starts, "I'll start! Draw! I summon Super-Nimble Mega Hamster!
Atk: 1100 Def: 1800

Atk: 800 Def: 1900

"Draw. I summon Morker Nova Summoner in attack mode!"
"Wait Morker?" Dragan asks.
"Yes Morker means Dark in Swedish dear." Harald replies with another smirk.
God damn he does that a lot, it's like he's default facial expression.
Atk: 1900 Def: 300
"I activate it's special ability. This means that I can summon Morker Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant.

Atk: 3500 Def: 2800

The silver haired man moans in pleasure and licks the blood of his lip before smiling back at Dragan.
"I only hurt you because I love you." He says.
Dragan: 8000 Harald: 5400
"You don't. I end my turn." Dragan replies.
"Draw. I activate Call of the Haunted. Now I bring back my Morker Valkyrie. Next I activate Mystic Plasma Zone. I summon Earthbound Immortal Shunn in attack mode! PREPARE TO DIE!
Atk: 3500 Def: 2400
Now I set one card face down and end my turn."
"My turn! Draw! I attack your Earthbound Immortal with Thor, Lord of the Aesir, Thunder Pile!" Screams the larger man.
"I activate my trap card, Book of Moon! This flips your monster face down! Try again dear, I gave you that card you can not defeat me with it." Harald croons.
"You didn't give it to me, I found it. I end my turn." Dragan sighs.
"Draw. I attack your Thor, Lord of the Aesir with Earthbound Immortal Shunn! Now I set one card and end my turn!"
"Ah, Harald, you've forgotten that my monster comes back at the end of your turn."
" No I didn't silly child. I activate Bottomless Trap Hole."
"What?!"
"Please take your turn. I am getting bored with the lack of pain."
"My turn, Draw! I set Summoner Monk….
Atk: 800 Def: 1600
Now I activate Creature Swap! Your Immortal is mine!"
"I activate Creature Swap also this means that I get my monster back."
"You can do that?!"
"I CAN DO ANYTHING! You should know that by now lover."
"I end my turn…." Dragan whispers.
"My turn. Draw. I summon Morker Gravekeeper's Spy in attack mode.
Atk: 1700 Def: 1500
Now I attack your Summoner Monk with my Morker Gravekeeper's Spy! Now that you have been abandoned I attack you directly with Earthbound Immortal Shunn! FEEL THE PAIN!"
Dragan screams as Shunn leaps forth and digs it's claws into him.
"M-Make i-it-t STOP!" Dragan stumbles and screams.
Dragan: 4500 Harald: 5400
"I will save you. My turn. Draw! I set Monoceros!
AtkL 1000 Def: 1000

"Pathetic. Draw. I summon Phantom Skyblaster in attack mode.
Atk: 1600 Def 300
Now I attack your Monocerus with my Phantom Skyblaster! Next I attack you directly with both my Earthbound Immortal Shunn and my Morker Gravekeeper's Spy!" The silver haired man laughs
A low scream comes from the dark skinned man as blood dribbles down from his mouth. He leans into the white glowing rough shape of a dog as it burns into him before he finally crashes.
Dragan: 0 Harald 5400
Harald turns back and goes for Dragan before he sees Brave coming to help him. He turns back.
"I suppose I will have to indulge in you later." Harald chuckles as his hands turn the accelerator and he speeds out of the lines of white light.
"And the sin of Wrath in its most ultimate form is you betraying your friends because you wanted to harm them, love them. Wrath is known as one of the three perverted loves along with Envy and Lust." I narrate.
"I see, but I have changed haven't I?" Harald asks his teammates.
"Well you are still a little bit cruel sometimes." Brave says.
"Yeah a bit." Dragan agrees.
"Now time to see the other side of Wrath, harm of yourself." I say pointing my hand to yet another exploding scene.
Harald is standing in front of a mirror looking at a black sclera-ed him.
"You know I am still a part of you. Why fight it?" Asks the voice.
"You, you are not real. I am quite aware that you are my evil that is here to get me to do something." Harald replies with no emotion carrying on his voice.
"And what if I'm the real thing?"
"Then I have gone crazy."
"I see. Do you not want to be crazy?"
"No I do not. So then why are you here?"
"Because I want you back in me, me back in you."
"I am quite sorry but this will never happen, get out of m mirror."
"Make me silly little man."
Harald frowns and then smiles forcefully.
"Don't be ridiculous, I am arguing with a mirror. I won't stop you, talk all you wish."
"How is Dragan doing?"
"He has gone to see Jack."
"You have always had trouble with blondes stealing your boyfriends haven't you Harald?" The mirror asks.
Harald puts a fist through the mirror within that second.
"Shut up!" He screeches. "Everything, everyone just leave me alone! I don't need anything, want anything! Let Jack have the slut! Let them have what they will just leave me the fuck alone!"
Harald picks up a shard of mirror and presses it up against his cheek.
"Pain will set you free huh? Then let me try it."
And the in one quick motion the man is bleeding all over himself and crying like a child.
Harald frowns and then forcing a smile he lunges for us. Banging our head against the ground.
"Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!" He repeats with every smash.
Andore grabs him by the hand and Jack grabs his waist and the angry man is still kicking and screaming.
"Fuck you." He coughs out struggling against the two the large men.
"Alright then it's time for Envy. Come on Breo." We smile.
