Hello, everyone! This is a new story! I hope everything will work out so please enjoy!
Normal POV
Aichi and the others were hanging out in their clubroom while discussing about some stuff.
" Kourin didn't come again, huh?" Naoki ask
" Yeah... I'm a little worried about her..." Misaki said
" Me too..." Shingo said
Aichi frowned as he fiddled with something hanging on his waist.
" Aichi? Is something wrong?" Naoki ask
" Oh! I-It's nothing! I was just wondering about Kourin-san too!" Aichi replied
" Really? You looked so deep in thoughts..." Naoki said
" It's really nothing!" Aichi said
" Okay then..."
Aichi went back to thinking again as Naoki and the others looked at each other, worrying about their blue haired friend.
" Aichi."
They turned to the voice as they saw Kai standing there.
" Kai-kun."
" Let's go. We still have a lot of stuff to handle." Kai said
" Oh, right."
Aichi picked his bag up and left with Kai after waving the others goodbye.
" That was... weird..." Naoki said
" Yeah..."
~ The next day~
Aichi came into class as usual but Naoki and the others spotted bandanges under Aichi's sleeves. They wanted to ask about it but the bell rang before they could. They sat down as the Sensei started with his lesson. A few minutes later, a few men entered the classroom with guns in their hands.
" Everyone, don't scream and put your hands on your heads! All heads on the table!" One of the man shouted
They did as told as the men walked around. One of them took notice of Aichi as he lifted Aichi by his arm.
" Found one!" The guy said
" W-What?" Aichi ask
" Aichi!" Naoki shouted
" Sit back down!" The same guy said, pointing his gun at Naoki
Aichi signaled Naoki to sit back down as Naoki did as told.
" We'll take this kid! Kill every single witnesses here!" The guy said
" What?!"
" What are you saying?!" Aichi exclaimed
This time, Aichi was struggling against the guy's grip as he grabbed him tighter.
" I'm not letting you kill everyone!" Aichi shouted
" I hear you loud and clear!" A voice said
An orange haired man flew out of nowhere and was coming down at the guy.
" Regulus Impact!"
The guy was thrown to the front to the class as the orange haired man helped Aichi to keep his balance after being released from the guy by the impact.
" Loke!"
" Don't overexert yourself. Your arm needs rest." The man, Loke, said
" I can still fight." Aichi said
" If you'll like... Just don't get us too worried." Loke said
" Yeah."
" Here they come." Loke said
" Fire and get that kid back!" The guy said
The guns were fired as Loke charged at the bullets.
" Regulus Impact!"
The bullets were disintegrated but some of them headed to Aichi's way.
" Oh no!" Loke exclaimed
" Aichi!"
" Roar of the Sky Dragon!"
A torrent of air blew the bullets away as the bullets dropped to the ground.
" What?!"
" I said not to..." Loke sighed
" If I didn't, then those bullets would've hit someone..." Aichi said
" Right..."
" Fire!" One of the men ordered
" Ready? Let's send them flying." Loke said
" Regulus..."
" Roar of the..."
The bullets were fired.
" ... Impact!"
" ... Sky Dragon!"
The two attacks united as the men were thrown out of the window and into the sky.
" Let's go. We've created some chaos here." Loke said
" I'm not going back there again..." Aichi said
" You've no choice." Loke said
He tapped Aichi's shoulder as they disappeared.
" Aichi...?" Naoki muttered
~ After class~
Naoki and Shingo stormed into their clubroom as Misaki was there.
" What's wrong? Where's Aichi?" Misaki ask
" That's what we'd like to know..." Shingo said
They explained what happened as Misaki was left dumbfounded.
" You're kidding..." Misaki exclaimed
" We're not kidding! The whole class saw what happened!" Naoki said
" Then Aichi just disappeared?" Misaki ask
" Yeah!"
" I think we need to have a talk with him tomorrow. Let's go to Card Capital for now." Misaki said
The two nodded as they walked towards the shop, only to find Aichi and Kai there. Aichi looked a bit paler than usual as Naoki approached him.
" Aichi! Good timing! Tell us! What was that today?!" Naoki ask
" I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to keep it from everyone..." Aichi replied
" Then explain what happened!" Naoki said
Kai suddenly stood up and walked over to Naoki before pushing him away a little.
" Stop disturbing Aichi already. He needs some rest. I'll explain everything, so let him have some space to rest." Kai said
" Yeah, Ishida. Look. Aichi looks a little pale." Misaki said
" O-Okay..."
" We'll head to the back door alley to talk. I'll be back soon." Kai said
" Yeah..." Aichi replied
They went to the back door and to the alley as the three sat down on the benches while Kai was leaning against the wall.
" So, what's with you and Aichi?" Misaki ask
" More importantly, what's wrong with Aichi?" Naoki ask
" I'll explain from the beginning. I know it's hard to explain but Aichi and I were born as wizards with magical powers. If you think I'm joking, then take what happened this morning as all an illusion." Kai said
" After what we saw, no way are we going to take that as a lie." Shingo said
" Good. You see, my parents were wizards as well as Aichi's. So you could say we inherited their magic." Kai explained
" Then what about Emi-chan?" Misaki ask
" Well... I'm not sure... But Aichi stated that she had no sort of magic in her, which means that maybe every first born child would inherit all the magic from their birth parents. Though, that's only my theory. Maybe that Emi Sendou's magic is still not bearing fruit yet, which means, her magic is not yet awakened. In fact, there are many types of magic." Kai explained
" And you two are?" Shingo ask
" I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer and Iron Dragon Slayer. Aichi... Well, let's just say his family is special. He can use any magic Dragon Slayers have. We call that a Celestial Dragon but Aichi mostly uses the Sky element. He's also a Celestial Spirit Wizard. Using special keys, he can summon one of the 12 Zodiacs or maybe some of lower levels. Just like Leo the Lion, whom you saw this morning." Kai explained
" Leo..."
" ... The Lion?"
Silence...
" HUH?!"
" That 'Loke' guy was Leo?!" Naoki exclaimed
" Yeah. Though he tends to go out of his gate of his own free will... As for what happened to Aichi, it was a sort of magic overload. You see, there's been numerous attacks from beasts around town nowadays. They call them 'beasts', but when you look at them, they only look menacing in the darkness. Both of us were fending them off after Aichi settled those men that entered your school. Aichi used up too much of his magic and caused an overload. It's common. He just needs some rest and he'll be fine tomorrow morning." Kai assured
" What a relief!" Shingo sighed
" I think that's about all I can say. Just be careful in the night." Kai said
" Right."
" I'm heading back in." Kai said
He went into the shop again as the others followed. However, they didn't expect Leon and Ren to be there, checking on Aichi.
" Ren Suzugamori!"
" Leon Souryuu!"
" Oh, it's you guys." Ren said
" What's wrong?" Kai ask
" He's running a fever. We came to visit him and fight him but..." Leon said
" It's fine... If you want to have a fight, then let's fight..." Aichi said
" Not in your current condition! Kai, bring him back to your apartment! He needs rest!" Ren said
Kai nodded as he carried Aichi and their belongings up.
" We'll help you with those." Leon said
" Sure."
Ren and Leon helped to carry their belongings as they headed back to Kai's apartment. Naoki and the others just wondered why as they left.
After a few minutes of walk, they arrived at Kai's apartment as Kai opened the door and placed Aichi down on the bed after removing his shoes.
" Feel free to sit around." Kai said
" How's the job?" Ren ask
" As usual. But Aichi got a injury from one of them yesterday because he was careless. That reminds me, I better change the bandage." Kai said
Kai got a first aid kit as he walked over to Aichi. He removed a little of his clothes. Ren and Leon saw the wound that was covered in bandage. The bandage travelled from Aichi's elbow to near his wrist.
" That looks like a dangerous place for a wound to stay." Ren said
" We're lucky it didn't hit his wrist totally or he'd be bleeding profusely." Kai said
" Let me try." Leon said
He walked over to Kai right after he removed the bandage. He then started to make a ball of water on his hand before he traced the water on the wound. Blue light glowed before dissipating as they saw that the wound had closed a little.
" This should do. It won't change much but it'll stop the wound from opening easily." Leon said
" Right. Thanks." Kai said
Kai applied the medicine before wrapping the wound again. After that, he wore Aichis clothes back again and went to fetch a pail of ice water and cloth. He then dipped the cloth into Tue water before wringing it and putting it on Aichi's forehead.
" So, what kind of enemies were you two fighting yesterday?" Ren ask
" Some that looked human but had claws and some mechanical animal like ones... And one of them slashed Aichi, like I said." Kai said
" I see. Then, those three... found out?" Leon ask
Kai nodded and explained everything to them.
" It is a good thing and yet a bad thing. Now his whole class found out and might have a few precautions now." Ren said
" I know. It was a risky move but he'd no choice." Kai said
" You only told them he was a Celestial Spirit Wizard and Celestial Dragon Slayer, right? Nothing else, right?" Leon ask
" Yeah."
" Good. But for now, I think we should stay over today. I'm sensing a few of them today too. We might have to fight again tonight." Leon said
" Yeah."
~ At night~
Naoki and the others gathered in the park after they were called by some people. A few minutes later, Asaka, Tetsu, Jillian and Sharlene had gathered.
" It's you guys!" Naoki exclaimed
" Actually, Ren isn't in his Office today after school ended. So we thought maybe you guys might know where he is." Tetsu said
" Leon-sama too." Jillian said
" Well... How do we explain this..." Misaki said
Suddenly, there were rustling in the bushes as something suddenly charged at them.
" What is that?!" Sharlene exclaimed
" Look out!" Naoki shouted
Just as the thing was about to hit them, something else countered it.
" Roar of the Water Dragon!"
A torrent of water blasted the thing away as Leon landed.
" Are you okay?!" Leon ask
" Leon-sama!"
" That was dangerous!" Leon said
Another one came out as a shadow flew out and punched it before materializing.
" Watch your back." Ren said
" Ren-sama!"
" Roar of the Sky Dragon!"
A torrent of air blew the remaining ones out of the bushes.
" Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
A torrent of fire destroyed the enemies as Kai and Aichi landed.
" Kai!"
" Aichi!"
" Is everyone alright?!" Aichi ask
" Y-Yeah!"
More of the enemies appeared as they got ready to fight.
" Everyone, get back!" Leon said
" Aichi-kun, think you can do it?!" Ren ask
" Yes!"
A green circle appeared below Aichi's feet.
" Il Armor! Arms! Vernier! Enchant!"
The same glow from the circle surrounded the other three.
" Let's go!" Kai said
" Yeah!"
" Roar of the..."
" ... Sky Dragon!"
" ... Iron Dragon!"
" ... Water Dragon!"
" ... Shadow Dragon!"
The four attacks combined as the enemies were thrown away from the park.
" No one's injured, right?" Ren ask
" No."
" Just to confirm if we're in the clear..." Aichi said, taking out a key, " Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
A girl in a maid outfit came out.
" Did you call me?" Virgo ask
" Virgo, could you check around the area to see if there's anymore suspicious shadows or something?" Aichi ask
" Right away."
" And please don't dig holes around the place..." Aichi said
" Yes."
Virgo went off as they waited until she came back.
" There's no suspicious characters lurking around." Virgo said
" Right. Thank you, Virgo." Aichi said
" Call me if you need me again." Virgo said
" Okay. Thanks again." Aichi said
Virgo disappeared as Kai went to catch Aichi after he almost fainted. Kai placed his hand on Aichi's forehead after that.
" I'll bring him back first. His fever is still active." Kai said
" Okay."
Kai carried Aichi back to his apartment as he laid Aichi down on the bed. He placed the cloth on his forehead and tucked him in.
" Rest. You need it." Kai said
" Yes..."
Aichi closed his eyes and slept as Kai also fell asleep beside the bed.
Meanwhile, Ren and Leon explained everything that Kai explained before. The other four were surprised to hear it.
" Besides, you could say something like... We were raised by dragons? Look, I know it's hard to believe but it's true." Ren explained
" HUH?!"
" Raised by dragons?!"
" Of course, we had our own mothers and fathers but we basically got some of the powers because it was the same for them. They were also trained by dragons." Leon said
" It's starting to turn crazy now! Why didn't you tell us all this earlier?!" Naoki ask
" And why should we? It brings more harm than good after all." Ren said
" Yeah, but..."
" Oh and we have this sort of diet... According to our elements, we eat them. For example, Kai needs to eat fire to fuel himself up. As for me... I'm not sure and Leon-kun needs water. Aichi-kun, since he mostly uses Sky magic, so air. That's about it." Ren explained
The others stoned after that.
" Huh?"
" I think you just shocked them." Leon said
" Did I? Well, let's put all that aside for now." Ren said
" Let's head back. We still have some things to discuss with Kai." Leon said
" Yeah. Be careful when going back, okay? Contact us if needed." Ren said
Before the others could say anything, the two went off.
~ The next day~
Naoki and Shingo were spacing out when Aichi entered the classroom all well.
" Good morning!"
Aichi went to his seat as he sat down. Class soon started as Aichi was dense that a lot of his classmates were staring at him. After a few more lessons, some classmates were looking out of the windows while muttering about something. Aichi, curious, looked out of the window beside him. That was when he saw Kamui staggering on the field with a dark aura around him.
" Kamui-kun?!"
Aichi ran out of the classroom and to the field as he held onto Kamui's shoulders.
" Kamui-kun!" Aichi exclaimed
He ran to his side.
" Brother... S-Sorry... I... wasn't... strong... enough..." Kamui said
He screamed as the dark aura started to engulf him.
" What's this?!" Aichi exclaimed
They turned behind to see Kourin.
" I Reversed him." Kourin said
" What are you talking about?" Aichi aSk
Misaki and the others also arrived.
" The gang's all here. Just when it's about to begin." Maki said
" What's about to begin?!" Misaki ask
" Something unbelievably huge!" Maki replied
The screen showed up.
" Hello Cardfighters all over the world. I trust you're all enjoying yourselves as you strive to win a fight today? It pleases me immensely. Friends and comrades and frenemies... Growing as fighters... I know how fulfilling it can be. And yet, nothing lasts forever. No matter how much fun your days are, they'll come to an end eventually. And that day is right before your eyes. This may be sudden, but your world... is going to be destroyed." Takuto announced
Kamui was still fighting Reverse.
" Kamui-kun!" Aichi exclaimed
" This is unavoidable. Link Joker holds sway over the world. Cardfighters... I'm sure some of you are aware of the phenomenon known as 'Reverse'. Link Joker is the very one controlling that phenomenon. When a Cardfighters loses to a Reversed fighter, he becomes Reversed too. If he's Reversed, his personality changes, and he becomes very strong... but what really happens is that he becomes a soldier in our Link Joker army." Takuto continued
" This isn't good." Misaki said
" With an increase in their numbers, we have become more powerful than ever. Take a look at this." Takuto announced
A image of the black ring appeared.
" This is a gate." Takuto said
" A gate..." Aichi said
Kamui continued to struggle with Reverse.
" Kamui-kun!"
They turned to see Emi and the others.
" Emi! Gouki-san!" Aichi exclaimed
" Kamui-chan!" Nagisa exclaimed
" Kamui!" Gouki exclaimed
" That's... Takuto?!" Rekka exclaimed
" Even now, the number of Reversed fighter is increasing. The gates will open wider the more Reversed fighters there are. And when they eventually cover the Earth... this planet will smother in darkness of nothingness in the blink of an eye. All life will fall into darkness. This has all become possible because of you Earth fighters. Thank you very much! By the way, I'm only telling you fighters about this today. I hope you spend the scant remainder of your peaceful days in despair. For a world ruled by Link Joker, despair is a perfect fit." Takuto said and laughed menacingly
" And here's a little surprise." Maki said
She clicked her fingers as the same enemies from the night before flying down from the black ring above them.
" No way..." Naoki exclaimed
" Stay back." Aichi whispered
" Aichi, don't!" Misaki whispered
" I have no choice. This is the only way out... Please, evacuate the school while I still have enough magic left in me..." Aichi whispered
" But..."
" Go!" Aichi said
" Everyone, let's go! We need to evacuate the school!" Misaki said
She dragged the others along as Aichi got ready.
" Aichi!" Emi exclaimed
" Roar of the Sky Dragon!"
He fended off the enemies away as he also made sure the students were being evacuated. After a few more minutes, his magic was slowly starting to drain.
" This is the last batch of students!" Naoki shouted
" Aichi! Let's go! You can stop now!" Misaki shouted
" I'll finish this in one go... Hurry and go!" Aichi said
" Aichi!"
Aichi started sucking up the air around him as he got ready to use the last of his magic.
" Dragon Slayer Secret Art... Shattering Light: Sky Drill!"
A pillar of light shot up into the sky as the enemies slowly started to disappear. Aichi panted as he made sure to stay on his feet.
" I'm out of magic... At least, everyone escaped..." Aichi thought as he saw the others getting on the van while calling his name
The van started to drive off. Aichi knew that Shin knew his message.
" Go... I'll be fine alone..." Aichi thought as the van drove off
He looked up at the sky to see more enemies appearing.
" You're out of energy already. It's no use resisting." Maki said
" Looks like I have to do it just this once..." Aichi thought
A green circle appeared below his feet again.
" My Limiter... Re-!"
Just as Aichi was about to say the last of his sentence, a blur stopped him and two other blurs blasted the other enemies away.
" Don't do it, Aichi. It's dangerous." Kai whispered
" Kai-kun..."
" Rest. You've done well holding up until we arrived." Kai said
" Yes..."
Aichi closed his eyes and fell asleep as Kai smiled and laid Aichi down.
" Is he alright?" Leon ask
" Yeah. Sleeping soundly." Kai replied
" It's a surprise. To think he was able to hold up with the quarter of magic he had left in his body after just recovering from overload." Ren said
" Who's not surprised? But on the other hand, maybe one won't be too surprised if we know how Aichi is like." Kai said
" You're right. Now, let's finish this off before heading back." Kai said
" Yeah!"
They started their attacks as the enemies were quickly cleared away. Kai went back to check on Aichi.
" How is he?" Ren ask
" Still sleeping soundly. I wonder how he does that sometimes." Kai said
" Well, we better head back now. It'll be dangerous to stay here." Leon said
" Yeah!"
Kai carried Aichi up as they ran towards the shop. Once they arrived, Misaki and the others were relieved to see that Aichi was alright. They sat down on the floor as Kai laid Aichi's head on his lap.
" Well, he's fine at least. After getting sick from magic overload, he's only left with a quarter of his magic. It's amazing he was able to hold out until we arrived." Ren said
" Huh?"
" A..."
" ... quarter...?"
" HUH?!"
Kai had luckily covered Aichi's ears as he checked on him again. He heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Aichi still sleeping soundly.
" Be quiet, will you?" Kai ask
" Sorry..."
" Are you serious?! That was only a quarter?!" Naoki whispered
" Yeah."
" Crazy strength..." Naoki exclaimed
" Well, the same goes for all of us. We've trained for years now. The dragons who trained us since young are gone now... There's basically nothing left but to train and fight." Leon said
" It's to protect the young prince as well." Ren said
" Prince?"
Ren directed their stares to Aichi as they stoned again.
" Hey, Ren!" Kai said
" Oh... Sorry..." Ren said
" Since we've gone this far, I'll explain. As we've said before, Sendou's a Celestial Dragon Slayer. He's from the Royal Family for us other Dragon Slayers since Celestial Dragon Slayers can use all our elements." Leon explained
" I get the gist of it... So, you're his guardians?" Misaki ask
" Sort of like that." Ren replied
" I see..."
Meanwhile, at the Tatsunagi Corporation... Reversed Takuto got the news about what happened from Kourin as he thought about something.
" Interesting... So you're sure he's only using a quarter?" Reversed Takuto ask
" Yeah."
" Heh... That is interesting... Get every single units from Link Joker and send them all to capture him. I want Aichi Sendou right here before I open the gate, got it?" Revrrsed Takuto ask
" Yes."
Kourin walked away as Reversed Takuto smirked.
" In the first place, he was already in my list of people to Reverse after all." Reversed Takuto said and chuckled lowly
And that's the end of this chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed it and I'll see everyone in the next chapter!
