I got this idea suddenly in the middle of class one day, and fell over in my chair! My teacher thought I had a panick attack (Were having a test that day) and asked if I was okay! I stated, "I just had an epiphany!" and she got really angry. Lets just say, no more ideas in Spanish!

Onward!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except this idea!

But the Signers had been sacrificed long ago, and now it's the childrens duty to save the world. Will they be able to stop it? Will the Signers ever return? Or will the world fall into darkness?

PROLOGE

The dense smoke screen made it impossible to see through the streets. Screams were heard all over, bouncing from one building face to the next. Fires erupted from all over the city, the cause of the smoke. Akiza held her child to her chest, a blanket masked over its face to keep the smoke from entering its small frame, its screeches belting, only adding to the volumes of screams. Her heart was pounding, her thoughts racing. Where was Carly?

"Akiza!" a voice called out, and she turned, tears streaming down her face, the smoke burning her eyes. Her husband was running toward her, covering his nose and mouth, coughing furiously into it. He ran up next to her, and looked at their child. Its small, pixie-like face looked like its mothers with its fathers eyes. Tears were streaming upon its soft cheeks, its tiny fists flailing. Yusei smiled, but his face fell when he didn't see another.

"Where's Michael?" he asked frantically, looking for the three year old that was usually attatched to his mothers side.

"He's with Alex. Where's Carly? Shouldn't she be here by now?" she growled, furious. All of this chaos and the reporter picks now to be late?

"She is pregnant, Aki. And Jack wanted some last moments with her. She was picking up Alex, Crow, Leo, and Luna the last time I heard. So she must be picking up Michael." he stated, obvious that he was on edge now too. He was trying to look around for any signs of the car, but was unable to due to the smoke. Another ring of coughing filled the two adults.

Like a miracle, two duel runners came zooming down the street at break-neck speed. Next came the small yellow car, zooming behind the runners.

"Thank God!" Akiza gasped, the child finally simmering down in her arms. Yusei looked to his wife, and leaned down to kiss away her tears. All she could do was sigh.

The ginger haired man was the first to take his helmet off, whipping his hair out from the shape that the helmet had formed. His eyes darted to the car, and he went straight for it. His own wife was in the back, three months pregnant herself. He opened the door and held a hand out to help her out from the vehicle. Next that came out were the seventeen year old twins. Then came out the red-headed boy with his fathers face but mothers eyes.

Jack rushed to his wife's side, slowly taking her from the car, making extra precaution for her extended belly. Then, once the last two came forward, they made a circle, looking to each other.

"It's coming, and what ever it is, it's coming fast." Yusei said, and all of the adults nodded their heads.

"What happened that was so different about this time? What about the times with the Dark Signers and the Emperors? Nothing like this had happened!" Leo said, screams filling his ears, frantic shadows running in the smoke, crashes heard in the distance.

"We're afraid that this is much worse than those, Leo." Jack said sternly, standing closely behind his wife, Carly looking up to see his emotionless face.

"How can those be worse?" he asked, flinging his arms in the air.

"Just as you said, Leo" his twin muttered, looking about. "Nothing like this had ever happened. Which means we were late in destroying something. And we-" she was cut off by the enormous tremors that suddenly ripped through the ground, terrible cracking sounds ripping to the heavens, louder for one moment then the screams. The Signers looked down to see the crack was coming toward them. Their eyes widened, and the ran from the area that, only seconds later, collapsed into the earth.

All that was heard from the group was their ragged breaths and the younger children crying.

"We have to get the children out of here." Crow muttered, looking to his wife and then to Yusei's kids.

"Wha-what? So this is it? How our children will remember us? Frightened and scared?" Akiza murmured, staring at the three year old that was looking around at the destruction.

"It's gonna be. And who knows? We'll probably return soon. We just need to believe, like we always have." even through all of this, they knew Crow was only trying to be strong. And all of them knew that the Signers weren't coming back.

Yusei knelt down and looked at his three year old boy, his young eyes piercing into his adult ones.

"Daddy, what's going on? What's happening? I'm really scared." the young boy whimpered, trapping his father in a hug. Yusei hugged back, his cobalt eyes closing, tears forming behind them.

"Everything will be okay." Yusei said, pulling back and opening his eyes, a quivering smile on his lips. He slowly wiped away his son's tears with his thumbs. Then he continued. "But I need you to be strong for me. For mommy to. Be my brave little man for me, okay?" It took all the strength for Akiza to not to break down in tears. But this needed to happen. They had to protect their world. No matter the cost.

The young boy nodded, and Akiza knelt down as well and trapped her family in a hug. "I love you." came from her lips as she hugged her family tighter, her baby in one arm.

"I love you too mommy." Michael replied, and she layed a gentle kiss upon his forehead. His father did the same, and then they did the same to their baby.

Alexandria looked deep into Crow's eyes, and she smiled. Soon enough, he did the same. Then they were both in a breath-taking hug.

"You better come back, or I'll go up there and get you myself." she said into his shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks. Crow pulled back and smiled.

"I'll always come for ya babe." Crow said, and laid a tender hand upon his wife's small belly. A small kick was felt, and he smiled wider. "In the mean time, take care of the squirt, will ya?" he asked, but the true intent was heard. She nodded, and she kissed him, her arms wrapping around his neck, his arms wrapping around her torso.

All too soon, they broke. "I love you." she said, and she closed her eyes. He tilted her chin up, and she opened her eyes. His eyes became watery too. He was going to miss her, and his heart felt like it was tearing to shreds. But he needed to be strong.

"Love you too." Crow said, and they kissed again.

The last couple were silent, only looking into the others eyes. His amethyst eyes bore into her grey-blue ones. They simply didn't know what to say. The blondes jaw was set, and he made sure he wouldn't cry. No. His wife needed to be strong. He needed to be strong. But how could you be strong when you could never see the one you loved again, and seeing her off in such chaos? Never being able to hold the baby they had wanted for so long, going and checking every week for? Watching its heart and body grow? How could this happen?

"I-I'll miss you." Carly whispered, her face cast down, unable to look at him. He could hear the true message in her voice. 'Please don't leave me.'

"I'll miss you too." he said softly, anything to try and keep from the sound of his voice breaking. She could hear his true message. 'I have to. I have to protect you.'

She took a shaky hand and reached out for his. He let her hand lead his to her stomach, which bore his child, and placed it on it. He slowly knelt down and placed his ear on her stomach, rubbing circles on her belly. He heart her heart beat, the sweet noise a melody to his ears. He then felt something that made his heart skip a beat.

His child kicked on the spot he was rubbing. Even unborn, he could tell that the baby knew who he was, and that nearly made him break on the spot.

He got up, and his fists clenched. All of this was unfair. Why did it have to be them who were Signers? Why did they have to save the world?

'Without this sign, Jack, you wouldn't have your world.' the voice in his head thought, and images of Carly flashed though his mind.

'Well... maybe it would have been better that way.' he thought, and he hated himself for such a thought to flash through his mind.

Everyone forgot about the smoke and the dangers and the screams. It was as if they were in their own little bubble.

Then, out of nowhere, a shrill cry was heard. That of a mighty monster. The ground shook, and the footing near them gave way. They hardly noticed.

Jack lifted Carly's chin up, and his violet eyes bore into her. He slowly took the necklace from round his neck and peered at its emblem before placing it around her neck. Tears flowed down her cheeks, unable to contain them any longer. She felt as though she were dying the most painful death, and she couldn't stop it.

"I will tell the baby about you. All of you. But it will live up to the name Atlas." she cried, and he couldn't hold it any longer.

He craned down his neck and kissed her, his fists unclenched and weaved into her beautiful black hair. This was not a kiss of passion, but one of pure need as it finally crashed upon the two. This was going to be the last time they saw each other. And at this only time, the King's tears mixed with the reporters.

"Jack! We gotta go." Luna said, standing next to Leo, who couldn't believe what was happening.

The two broke, and realized that the rest were watching them exchange, tears in their eyes, seeing for once, the strong Jack Atlas cry. (Well, other then over ramen.) Jack growled, and everyone looked away, embarassed for staring. His gaze turned back to her, and a small smile played on her lips. "You should be going." she murmured, and she hugged him close, breathing in his scent.

"I should." was all he said, and he kissed her once more, taking in every bit of her. Her lips, her voice, her smell, her hair. Everything. Oh, how he was going to miss it.

The two broke again, and the only thing she whispered was, "I love you."

"I love you too."

Then they were off. The Signers disappeared through the smoke that the two remaining adults realized was there. Michael was with Alex, who held the youngest baby in her arms.

"What now?" Alex asked, sobs stuck in her throat.

"To Martha's place." Carly muttered, the only safe haven close. They had all met in the Satellite, two blocks away from Martha's place.

Carly felt a slight tug on her pants leg, and looked down to the small boy with fear in his eyes.

"Mrs. Atlas." he whimpered, his voice shaking. "Where are mommy and daddy going? " his innocent eyes made it hard to lie. But she had to.

"Your mommy and daddy, Leo and Luna, and uncle Crow and Jack have very important jobs. They're going away to protect us all." Carly said softly, forcing a smile. The small boy nodded.

"When are they coming back? Why didn't they take us with them?" he asked, not really asking. Just questioning out loud.

"We don't really know, honey. What they are doing is really dangerous, and they don't want us hurt." Alex murmured, shifting the resting baby. She silently wondered how it could'nt have woken up due to all of the noise.

"Oh." the boy murmured, and coughed.

"Let's get you to Martha's, okay sweetie?" Carly said, handing out her hand, and the small boy took it, and they all raced to the building that always seemed to dodge danger.
