Chapter 1Omen

A sign of what is to happen; object or event that is believed to mean good or bad fortune.

Prophetic meaning.

Five thousand years have passed since the greatest evil sank in dark. Although the evil had disappeared, the darkness wallowed in self pity and lingered in the shadows, growing a dangerous power and rage. The Monster World has been suddenly threatened by that unknown darkness. The pure and innocent monsters have been surrounded in an unbalanced and chaotic environment. Feeling frightened and unaware of the real cause of the threat, monsters gathered together in a meeting of big importance.

"The meeting has officially started now. Let's get down to our business." Exodia announced. He has been disturbed by the darkness, and has not slept well for the past few days knowing that something evil has awakened. The noisy hall gradually became silent; everyone has noticed two big black circles under their leader's eyes.

"Exodia! Last night a Man-Eater Bug creped its nasty little self up to my front door and scared my children silly! I was in no shape to battle but I had to and now my children are terrified of the out doors! Something must be done about this darkness!" A most noble monster called.

"Yes. Something must be done. That is entirely what this meeting is about my fellow monsters! What must be done is our question." Exodia was as puzzled and confused as the rest of the monsters.

"I have an idea." A hansom monster stood up from the front row. He turned slightly to include everyone in his fantastic idea. "I propose we put together a force of the strongest monsters and protect the innocent and weaker ones. We shall have teams and independent soldiers to do missions that Exodia would receive. Each team or soloist shall be given a mission and shall not return until that mission is complete. Together we can defeat this darkness and this unknown threat and rid our peaceful world of evil once and for all." The hansom monster sat back down and looked at Exodia for an answer.

"Buster Blader-" He began.

"Uh…call me Tao, please."

"Right. Sorry Tao. That is a good idea only. How exactly would I receive these missions and what exactly do you mean by missions?" Exodia was interested in what Tao had to say. Tao had proven himself to be a fine warrior and a very kind monster.

"Well. You'd receive missions from the innocent monsters that are in trouble. Plus, it's not that hard to spot evil. There are usually dark clouds in the sky above the scene and the air gets thin and very cold. Every shadow seems to stalk you and the ground haunts you with endless and unseen paths."

"Alright Tao. Man, we get the point. Everything is creepy and gross and stuff. There's no need to replay every detail!" A very freaked out Celtic Guardian blurted.

"Why? Are you scared Shujo?" Tao looked at the blond elf and raised an eyebrow.

"No!" Shujo stood up and glared at the big handsome Warrior.

Suddenly the room became quiet and dark. The air got thin but remained warm and the candle light had been extinguished. Tao stood up expecting the worst then suddenly up on the stage a small black whirlpool appeared. The monsters gasped and some shrieked and fainted with fear.

"What did you say?" A very familiar voice screamed. Kaikou the Dark Magician was shaking Ryuu the Blue-Eyes White Dragon back and forth like a rag doll where the black whirlpool used to be.

"You heard me. I said your master is a pathetic excuse for a human." Ryuu announced then slapped Kaikou's hands off his delicate clothing.

"My master is twenty million times better than your ungrateful, egotistical, selfish, arrogant, bull-headed, brainless, unworthy son of a-" Kaikou turned slightly and noticed every monster in monster world staring at them. "Ahh…hello everyone."

"Kaikou is back!" Every female monster stood up and screamed and shouted for Kaikou. Ryuu stood up and dusted off his clothing then walked down the nicely detailed stairs and to the side of the lower stage. Kaikou followed.

"Well. I see we have our legendary Blue Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician back." One of the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Seishirou proclaimed to his twin brother Seiichirou.

"Baby brother? What an unexpected surprise…"

Ryuu glared at his older siblings. "You two are still as hopeless as-" Ryuu was cut off by a very excited Tao.

"Kaikou! Man! Long time no see!" Tao jumped up on the stage and hugged Kaikou causing him to lose his balance and fall.

"Wow. Tao. It has been…a long time…" Kaikou looked at Tao and smiled playfully.

Tao smiled back and leaned closer to Kaikou. He began kissing his neck deeply. His hands rubbed Kaikou's chest slightly and Kaikou lifted his head giving Tao more room to kiss him.

"Eww." Ryuu was disgusted as he watched Tao kiss Kaikou passionately. His blue eyes flinched as Kaikou suddenly moaned. "Eww!"

"Hey. You haven't changed much at all, my baby brother." Seishirou sighed and shook his pretty head.

"Not much at all. Still innocent, like a baby brother should be." Seiichirou agreed with his twin then rested his arm on Ryuu's shoulder.

"Stop calling me that!" Ryuu pushed his brother off his shoulder then turned around in disappointment that his brothers were still alive.

Kaikou sat up and looked at Tao. "Hey. How about I go to your house tonight?"

"Eww!" Ryuu was now disturbed, disgusted and still disappointed in his brother's existence.

"Sure, what's the best time for you?" Tao asked.

"How about nine? I'll sleep over, 'kay?" Kaikou looked at his long term boyfriend for a few seconds then sat up and sighed.

"Eh?" Ryuu froze in the spot he stood. Did he just say…sleep…over? A-a-a-a ARGH! They're going to do it? I can't believe Kaikou and that pathetic Warrior would feel each other and kiss each other and and…and… Ryuu felt a warm liquid being released from his nose. The smell of iron filled his head and gave his mind a foul tingling feeling.

"Whoa baby brother. You-" Seiichirou started and was cut off by his twin.

"Why don't you ask Kaikou if you can join them…I'm sure he'd enjoy the night with more company…don't you agree baby brother?"

"…" Ryuu's nose suddenly burst out more blood than a one liter bottle could fill.

"Whoa! Seiichirou, call up the human hospital. Let's sell them some dragon blood." Seishirou laughed then covered his mouth and straightened up.

"Uhhgh! Would you two just shut up!" Ryuu left the room holding his nose and forced the blood to stay in his body.

"Hey…did I just see a bleeding Blue Eyes run away?" Tao was still straddling Kaikou but he had seen Ryuu's nosebleed.

"Hmm? Perhaps…Maybe I'll go check on him." Kaikou stood up straight and followed in the direction that Ryuu left in.
