Living the past, Placido appears

[Divine]

the air was crisp with evening warmth. a slight breeze from the north rustled the leaves in the trees along the street in Neo Domino. Placido walked along taking in a breath of the crisp clean air. it felt almost relaxing as he watched the people walking around shopping or talking among themselves. although Placido's clothes did appear odd, no one approached him about it, which was good it would be one more thing he would not want to explain. then Placido saw a duel taking place up the street. he strode up the street to see the duel. then his blood began to boil, for he saw a synchro monster. he new what those monsters had done to his future. Placido had a flashback to his past hiding in a bombed out building from several Wisel Machine Emperors. this flashback brought anger to Placido's face. he wanted to right there summon Wisel and seal their Synchro monsters. "not yet. its not the proper time" he thought as he gritted his teeth and walked past the duelists.

Placido had read a crumpled flyer that mentioned a tournament in Neo Domino. judging by the condition of the paper he came to the conclusion that it was already in progress or completed. Placido picked the paper up off the ground and looked at the map of where the tournament was being held. after studying the paper for several minutes he walked off toward the stadium. hoping to get a better clue of when and where exactly he was. as he approached the Duel stadium he noticed it was crowded with people. some with camera's others duelists of low skill in Placido's opinion. Placido sat on a bench opisite the Duel stadium and he watched the people walking in and out. a smirk came across Placido's face "if I am in the time period I think I am in, the hapless duelist's will not know how to react to seeing a Machine Emperor" Placido thought. once again looking off toward the crowd.

Aporia contacted Placido via a communication device placed within the 'eye-patch' on Placido.

"Placido, I want you to collect some energy for the Circuit. If you are going to stray from my lab a bit, it is a way to make yourself useful. But don't be to open about it." Aporia told him. "And don't push to collect too much energy, we have to let the battle between the Dark Signers end before we can commence our plan or else the world will be destroyed in this time which is worse for us."

Placido recieved the message. he was infuriated. "Aporia. I understand the fact that I am a android based on a part of your life. but you will not control me. I am my own person" he yelled loudly into the communicator. Placido didn't care if was staring at him. he waited a moment and allowed himself to calm down slightly "I am joining the tournament that is going on. I will destroy all synchro monsters. mark my words." he said. this statement got the attention of several nearby duelists. "I will accomplish the goals I was created for of that their is no doubt. but I will do it on my own terms, if you feel that is unacceptable.. well you could always try to deactivate me.." he said snidely. he cut off the communication after that statement and got up off the bench and walked toward the duel stadium. he passed the group of duelists that heard his statement on synchros. they tried to prevent him for going toward the stadium. "what do you have against synchro monsters.?" they asked Placido stopped and stared at them for a moment "you fools have no idea who I am or what I intend to do. but I suggest you never duel against me" he said pushing them out of the way

Aporia sighed, "Just be careful. It is not our time yet to take a complete assault. You know what will happen if the Dark Signers are allowed to win the battle between light and dark... Our World... any future will not exist. Don't be too reckless." he told Placido. He was nearly positive that Placido would cause trouble... perhaps enough to gain a little power for the circuit. But if it did require it, he could simply throw a switch and the android would be shut down. But then he'd have to retrive it. It was not worth his time for now. He would allow Placido to have his fun; For now...
