Can you fly me around, Clear Wing?

Sorry, Zarc. Not over here. It's not safe. Perhaps in the future.

He wanted to soar. He wanted to fly in the sky, with his wings free and unhindered by anyone below him. Just him and the sky.

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon hated the ground. He hated being tied to it, hated being chained to it in that accursed card, so enclosed and so dark, with him and only him inside. It was suffocating, painful to be stuck like that. He wanted to be free.

He hated that woman. Hated that purple haired woman that had split him from his brothers, from the fun and joyful Odd Eyes Dragon, from the stoic and calm Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and the one he hated but loved at the same time, the infuriating Starve Venom Fusion Dragon. It was unforgivable of her to do so. He remembered the howls of the other three dragons as they separated.

And the worst thing- the absolute worst thing she had done was to hurt Zarc. Zarc, his human partner, a man who had only wanted to see people smile, a man who had just done what other people wanted him to do- how could she hurt him? Sure, the man had done things that seemed cruel, but everyone was doing them! He was… he was Zarc.

Then, with those accursed bracelets of hers, she had shattered Zarc. Torn him into shreds. Destroyed him. Destroyed them. She was cruel. It was all her fault. It was with this that Clear Wing Synchro Dragon levied the blame on her as he spent his days, months, maybe even years trapped in that darkness. His legs were weak now, his wings losing someone of the translucent glint they used to have.

"Why?" He let out a howl. "Why? We… we were only trying to make you happy… we were only joking around!"

The blue dragon pushed against his restraints again, to fruitless results.

He wanted to break free.

Free. It was such a strange concept to him now. He could barely remember flying anymore, and he clung to it like a dog to a bone, trying to feel some of the warmth again.

Too cold…

He roared out angrily. Let me go! Save me! Let me see Zarc again! Please...

Outside the world of his card, a blue and gold haired boy looked at the card with a beaming smile on his face. "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon? Awesome! I can't wait to duel with you!" He hopped back to the orphanage. "I can't wait to show this to Rin!"

Clear Wing looked up. For an instant, a boy's face appeared, illuminating the darkness.

"Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down your enemies at the speed of light! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" The boy chanted. He burst out of the card, reveling in newfound freedom, even if it was only for a while. The boy smiled at him. He was struck by the boy's face. Zarc's face stared back at him and he flinched, before the boy was there again.

"Hey! I'm Yugo. Let's work together, okay, Clear Wing?"

He would let this child keep his freedom. He would never be forced to keep other people happy. This was his chance to protect Zarc again… he wouldn't waste it.

I'll fly you everywhere you want. Just promise me you won't die again.

A/N: Just a random drabble. I just thought about writing a little about Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, because… well, he looks awesome and has a good ability. Also, I randomly thought of this in class and it wouldn't leave me :p. So, hope you liked it!
