Closed Event [Wonder Quartet]
*As the Wonder Quartet is taking place over parts of the city on the final day of the Duel Festival, Kotori has found herself at Mr. Heartland's office after he asked her to see her.
Knocking on the door beforehand to signal her arrival, she opens the door to his office when told to enter and slowly walks in.*
You asked to see me...?

::Says that with a sound of relief in his voice.::

Is everything okay?

::A man in a military outfit with a strange helmet is in the Volcano Zone, Dueling a Duelist,
as they summon an Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, that proceeds to smash the opposing player to 0 LP.
The military man walks over, pressing a button on a Duel Disk as their opponent's glows purple and vanishes screaming.::

*Kotori watches in horror, holding her hands over her mouth as she watches this unfold in front of her. She recognised the field as being one of the four from the Wonder Quartet.
The people who'd attacked Heartland. Who destroyed her home. They were here? Now? Using the Quartet as cover?
Eventually, her expression changes to that of both fear, but also anger and determination. Part of her told her it was too soon, but the other part told her that this is what she'd been training for. To face this head on, to help protect her family and her friends... and Yuma and his friends were there right now in the middle of this.
Slowly, her arms drop to her sides and her fists clench up.*
Thank you for showing me this.
*She then starts heading right for the door.*
no subject
I understand your concern, Ms. Mizuki, but I'd recommend against going out there.
no subject
*Kotori stops at the door and turns around to face him.*
But this is what I was training for! I know I've only been training for a short time but my boyfriend and his friends are out in the middle of this! I have to go and help them!
no subject
And do you think your training is complete?
I have three operatives out there, all trained for this, young lady. You aren't close to being finished.
no subject
So what am I supposed to do? Just sit here while people are being attacked and turned into cards?! I wasn't able to do anything when they destroyed my home and took almost everyone I cared about away from me! I'm not going to let them do that again!
Ready or not, I have to go!
no subject
And do what, get yourself turned into a card yourself? What sort of father would I be to allow that to happen.
no subject
*She was all ready to argue back, but the last part of his sentence completely throws her off. She looks at him, looking rather dumbfounded for a moment, before she finds the ability to respond.*
Eh...? 'father'?
... what do you even mean by that?
no subject
As startling as this must be to believe, I am your biological father, Ms. Mizuki.
no subject
*Kotori remains in shock for a moment, before she looks a little more angry at him.*
You're lying!
My father is Jou Mizuki! My parents, especially my mother, would of never of lied to me about something like that!
no subject
Not even if Kana were potentially bribed into staying silent as to avoid ruining the career of a rising politician, and/or not ruining the dignity of her beloved?
no subject
*That takes her aback a bit. He knows her mother's name? No... he could of found that out easily, right? Through things like records that he probably has access to... that had to be it...*
Then explain everything to me and prove it!
Prove to me that you're my biological father!
no subject
::Pulls out a photo of him and Kana together. Very private quarters, worn down.::
no subject
That has to be fake...
*As much as she says those words, her eyes are looking at the photo, trying to examine it from where she was stood. There wasn't anything really to prove it is fake from what she could see, but, she didn't want to believe that.... none of this could be real, right?*
no subject
You require more proof to not make your father watch you march off to your own suicide at the hands of those butchers?
::Sighs.::
Fine.
no subject
::Focuses and holds out his hand as a flood of ghostly shadows like flies fly from his hands, filling the room.::
no subject
...Flies...?
*She looks around her as she watches the fly-like shadows move around the room. He could create them, just like she could create the light-based butterflies?
She remembered what she discussed with Souha the last time she talked to them, about her non-human heritage and how Souha questioned if it was linked to something insect based.
Looking back at Mr. Heartland, it is clear from her face that her doubts about him being her real father have now become very shaken and she's starting to second guess it.
She wasn't even sure what to think anymore. It almost felt like her entire life had just been a lie.*
I... I don't even... it's just...
... what even happened... between you and my mother...?
no subject
no subject
I-I don't mean details about that...!
*She blushes a little and gives him an annoyed look.*
I mean what happened to your relationship?! Why am I just learning about this now? Why have you chosen to approach me now? I don't know! I'm just... I'm so confused!
no subject
And because I've trying to build up to talking about this slowly, but these jackanapes have forced me to try and push this information in front of you faster than I felt would work out.
no subject
*Kotori is quiet for a moment, letting his reply sink in, before taking a deep breath in an effort to calm down, though she felt completely emotionally shot from this.
Wiping away the tears that were forming in her eyes, she let out the breath.*
I'm sorry. For reacting the way I did, but, this...
... it's a lot to take in.
*She briefly looks over at the screen again, just for a small moment, before looking away. She moves her arms around herself.*
I... I have to go. I need to think about this for a bit.
*With that, she begins to walk slowly towards the door.*

*Kotori lets out a gasp as she steps back from the large guards. She then looks back towards Heartland.*
Why aren't you letting me leave. You have no right to keep me here!
no subject
Since I am your father and sole surviving relative, my dear, and you being a minor in the eyes of the law, I have every right.
no subject
Even if you are my father, you can't just come into my life and expect me to accept you as part of my family straight away and you certainly can't order me around like I'm some sort of small child!
I barely know you!
Right now, the Tsukumo's are more my family than you are. I've known them since I was four, they've always treated me like I was a part of their family and they've always been there for me and my mom.
Family isn't just about blood. It's also about who you trust and that's something you have to earn.
Now let me leave!
no subject
no subject
What I choose to do is my own choice!
*With that, she allows her fear and frustration to create a number of butterflies around her which quickly fill up the room and rush around. Maybe if they confuse everyone, maybe if these butterflies shield her from view, she might find an opening, just a little opening to get out!*
no subject
no subject
How about I make a compromise, my dear.
::Shows off the heart shaped Duel Disk on his arm.::
Beat me in a Duel and I'll consent. Prove to me you are strong enough to fight in the field on your own.
no subject
*The butterflies stop rushing around and just hang in the air around them all as Kotori looks towards him.
She then pulls out her duel disk from her bag and places it on her arm.*
Very well! If I have to prove it to you, then I will!
no subject
Then... Duel!
::Presses a button on his Disk as he's enveloped in light.::
no subject
*Kotori shields her eyes from the light a little bit as this happens. What exactly is he doing...?*
no subject
::The light collapses and Mr. Heartland is in a horribly garish yellow outfit, tophat, and heart themed cane.::
It's time for HEART BURNING!
no subject
*Kotori finds herself wondering if that kind of weird magical change was even necessary (And how she was apparently related to someone like this), but she needed to focus on what she needed to do, so she quickly activates her duel disk.*
DUEL!
