Chapter Two: The Nightmare And The Ace
She couldn't tell where she was. All was silent and quiet. The space around her was dark and desolate. All that Angel could tell was that this place was not a good one. Her eyes suddenly caught something. At first, it seemed like a flicker of fire. Then, it was a sudden streak that rippled above her. She gasp as she felt a white-hot air brush past her, making her stumble on her feet and fall to the ground. The rip in the dark space suddenly tore open and something came crawling out of it. It was a spider.
As harmless as it looked, the creature began twitching, it's thorax suddenly began expanding, the rest of it's body fallowing. Lines of blood-red energy drew themselves on the spider's growing body, making odd designs Angel had never seen before in her life. Gaping like a fish, Angel tried her best to move away from the giant growing arachnid. The bug gave a hissing screech as it racked one of it menacing legs at the ground, snapping it's jaws as well. Angel yelped and took in a breath, trying to calm down her climbing heart beat. She then heard someone laugh horrendously. She looked above and saw that there was a person on the spider's head, their entire body clad in a black cloak with the same red lines the spider had.
"Attack her! Beat her to the dust!" yelled the person, pointing at Angel. The gigantic bug gave a horrific snarl as it began its earth stomping prowl. Finally feeling her legs come back to life, Angel jumped to her feet and began running, her legs sprinting as far as they could. She huffed and puffed as she looked over her shoulder, seeing the monster race after her and hearing the person's horrible laughter ring through her ears. She suddenly felt her hand taken and she gasped as she was pulled up into the air. She then sat on something and nearly screamed when she saw the ground blew her get farther and farther away.
"Are you alright?" asked the person who helped her. She looked at the person and saw he at least look twenty-one. His hair was spiky with and raven black and done in a long ponytail with a few bronze-gold highlights fallowing it. His eyes were a light brown with thin glasses in front of them and he was as pale as a ghost. Angel couldn't tell what I was but she felt safe with this person somehow, as if he were a long lost friend.
"Wh-Who are you? Where are we?" she asked. The man gave a warm smile. It almost looked childish.
"You can call me Yukio. Ace, can you take us any higher?"
"On it, Mr. Yukio."
Angel looked over Yukio's shoulder and saw the back of the head of another person. This boy looked younger, at least sixteen or seventeen. All she could tell was that he was pale with short and messy light gold hair. Angel looked and saw that they were riding a Cyber Dragon. It's scales were mechanical and silver, it's snake-like body soaring above the changing scene. They were at some strange bad lands with muddy and dark ground. The area lit with odd designs of animals. Angel counted a total of six animals.
"What-What is this?" she asked, holding onto the sides of Cyber Dragon's back.
"It is either the past or future, Angel." said Yukio.
"Huh? What do you mean? And how do you know my name?" asked Angel, looking at the bad lands. The older man worried on his bottom lip before looking to the dark and cloud-filled sky.
"Lets just say I heard from a friend of mine. This is a calamity that must not happen. It did happen once a long time ago but it was defeated." said Yukio. Angel tilted her head.
"Uh, I see? But since this calamity was already stopped, can't it be defeated by what stopped it before?" she asked.
"That's impossible. Only you can stop this." said the boy named Ace as he controlled Cyber Dragon.
"But why me?" asked Angel, the dragon taking them higher into the air.
"Because you are the bearer of the Crystal Rose. You and several others are needed to defeat this. The fate of the world resides in your hands." said Yukio. The winds suddenly began to blow harshly and Cyber Dragon gave a cry of pain as it was struck by sudden burst of crimson lighting. As the dragon began dropping, Yukio took Angel's hand and gave a kind smile.
"We will meet again, Angel. I promise." he said as he let go of her hand and a flash of crimson struck again, making everything go dark.
"WAIT!" yelled Angel, sitting up in bed and panting. Her eyes darted around her dark room as sweat clung at every inch of her body. Her pulse was going nearly beyond it's limit and her lungs were filling with gallons of air.
"That was just… What exactly was that?" asked Angel to herself, crossing her legs. She suddenly heard a wail break the darkness of the room. It was coming from her sisters' and brother's room. Getting up and stretching a little, Angel walked out of her room and to the nursery, peering into the room lit by tiny, blue star nightlight glowing at the corner of the room. Looking over the cribs, she saw it was Yuudai. His face was flushed with red and his cheeks were stained with tears. The baby whimpered and reached for his sister.
Making sure that the twin girls were asleep soundly in their cribs, Angel picked up Yuudai and rocked him gently, petting his downy yet spiky hair.
"Shh, shh, it's OK, it's alright, Yuu. Shh, Shh, big sis is here. Did you have a nightmare?" asked the pro Duelist as she sat in a rocking chair and cradled her baby brother. The little Fudo cuddled closer to his sister and whimpered, holding onto his sister. Angel smiled softly and she kissed his forehead, murmuring a soft lullaby.
Tell me babe,
How many do I shed my tears?
Every heart,
Every heart is not a gentle yet.
Shall I do?
I can never say my loneliness.
Every heart,
Doesn't know so what to say oh what to do.
Was afraid of darkness 'cause I felt that I was left alone.
So I prayed for help to distant million stars.
Round and round the planets revolve round the sun.
And we always seek after love and peace, forever more.
Growing, growing, woe baby, we can work it out.
Look up at the sky, every heart is shinning all today.
Angel closed her eyes and she didn't even see her right arm glowing a faint red.
Show me now,
What kind of smile do I come cross?
Every heart,
every heart can take a steps toward the dreams.
All of us,
what to take a lasting happiness.
Whenever you feel sad,
I wanna hold you and give you a sound sleep.
Someday every heart's gonna free and easy.
We have peace of mind.
Someday all the people find the way to love.
Goes and goes, the time goes on,
We are not alone.
We live on together and we will find some precious things.
Sometime we will smile, sometime we will cry somehow.
Don't forget believing yourself-
Tomorrows' never die.
There is the warm heart places on my mind.
In my earliest days there and it's so sweet.
There are many stars, they have talk with me so kind.
They say yes,
Time's a friend of mine.
So shine…
Round and round the planets revolve round the sun.
And we always seek after love and peace, forever more.
Growing, growing, woe baby, we can work it out.
Look up at the sky, every heart is shinning all today.
Goes and goes, the time goes on,
We are not alone.
We live on together and we will find some precious things.
Sometime we will smile, sometime we will cry somehow.
Don't forget believing yourself-
Tomorrows' never die.
Angel smiled when she saw that Yuudai was fast asleep, contently sucking on his little thumb. Laughing lightly, Angel placed her brother back in his crib and she walked back to her room laid on her back, reaching for her deck on her nightstand and shuffling through it a bit. Smiling at the monster, spells, and traps she had, she placed her deck back on her nightstand. Rolling to her side, she tucked her head into her arms and closed her eyes, not noticing the mark on her right arm that was hidden by her pajama sleeve.
Yusei blinked tiredly as he suddenly woke up, his blood suddenly running cold and his brain giving kicking ticks. Sitting up, he looked around the dark room, trying to see what had made him wake up suddenly. The cold air sent a chill down his spine. Looking to his side, Akiza was sleeping soundlessly. Running one hand through his flatten spikes, the junk duelist slouched against his pillow, looking down at the arms on his lap. His eyes widen when he saw that right arm was bare. His mark of the Crimson Dragon was gone.
"Akiza. Akiza, wake up." he said with a bit of urgency, shaking his wife's shoulder. The redhead blinked owlishly before she sat up, looking at Yusei with clouded brown eyes.
"Hm? What's wrong?" she asked, yawning a bit. For the first time in a year, Yusei had a worried look crossed over his usually calm face.
"My mark of the dragon… It's gone."
Akiza gasped and she looked at her own arm. "Mine is gone, too. How did this happen?" she asked. The both of them were silent, the darkness of their room just making things more tense.
Angel ate her pancakes silently the next morning, keeping her thoughts to herself as her family ate around her. The triplets were drinking out of the bottles of milk while her parents were having some omelets. Everything was silent. A little too silent for all the Fudos taste.
"Angel, is something wrong? You're awfully quiet today." said Akiza. Angel blinked and she wiped syrup that dribbled at the corner of her lip.
"No. I'm just a little tired, that's all." she said simply, taking her glass of milk and drinking it up. Her parents said nothing more and they went back to their own food, the silence coming back. They all jumped in their seats when the phone rang, even the triplets gave small jumps.
"I'll… Get it." said Angel, a bit weird-out by her parents behavior as she got up and walked to the hallway. She picked up the phone and pressed it to her ear.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Morning, Ang. You awake yet?" it was Rail.
"Yeah, I'm awake. So what's up?" she asked, yawning a little.
"Me and the guys are gonna go check out a new movie coming out at noon. Wanna come?" asked the carrot-top. Angel bit her lip and looked at the ground.
"Mm, I'll think about it." she said.
"Hey, something wrong? You sound a little off. Are you sick or something?" asked Rail, concern in his voice.
"Oh, no I'm fine. Really, I just didn't get enough sleep last night. Maybe next time, OK, Rail?" asked Angel.
"Yeah sure. Don't worry, I'll tell everybody you couldn't make it. Get some rest, alright?" asked the Hogan.
"Yeah, I will. Bye." she said, hanging up and sighing. Walking to the dinning room, she saw that her parents had moved to the living room. Yusei was reading the paper while Akiza was playing with the triplets, rolling the little rubber ball they liked so much. Smiling a smidge, Angel walked up the stairs and to her room. Pulling out her clothes, Angel walked to the bathroom and took a semi-cold shower, taking a little longer then she expected. After getting herself washed up and dried, Angel changed into a blue flannel shirt with black shorts. She let her hair loose and she tied on some black and white sneakers. Grabbing her deck, sketch book, phone, and duel disk, she tucked all the items in her back pack and threw on her red jacket. She kept this one because her parents gave it to her. It was similar to her dad's only the gems on them were opal instead of ambers. She then went down the stairs, walking to the living room.
"I'm gonna take a ride by the bridge. I'll be back by lunch, alright?" she asked. Yusei nodded, not looking up for his paper.
"Be careful, alright?" asked Akiza. Angel nodded and she gave a last wave before she walked to the garage, smiling at her Runner. It was the exact one that she and Team 5D's II used in the TSRT. It was still in perfect condition and it stood right next to Yusei's and Akiza's Runners. Slipping on her helmet from the seat, Angel got on the Runner and turned it on, the engine purring as Angel rode the Runner out of the open garage door and down the lane.
The eldest of the Fudo children sighed as she rode, feeling one with the machine. Wing raced and greeted her as she entered the west-eastern highway of New Domino. She looked to the side and gave a smile as she spotted the blue water of the ocean that surrounded the many highways. Sea gulls flew overhead and the sun was with them as well, shinning down and proudly on the connected cities of New Domino and the Satellite. Angel had heard of the Satellite. Her father had told her about it. The lace where he grew up and met some of his greatest friends. She hope she could visit it one day.
Her Runner suddenly gave some beeps and Angel looked to the dueling screen, seeing that there was another Duelist on the highway. She heard the roar of another Runner and Angel took a look, seeing a green and blue hybrid Runner race at her side. Where did that just come from?
"Angel Fudo!" called the mysterious racer from his Runner. His entire face was hidden by his helmet, which was green and blue with a spade design on the side of it.
"Yeah?" asked Angel, slowing her Runner just a bit.
"Lets Duel! I wanna see if your win at the TSRT was real!" yelled the racer as he attached his Duel disk to his Duel screen and played his Speed World Two Spell Card.
"Uh, sure. I guess one Duel won't hurt." said Angel, pulling her Duel disk out of her bag and attaching it to her Duel screen. She also pulled it out of her deck and played her Speed world Spell Card. The Duel blockers then began forming around the two, the area soon becoming a Turbo Duel track.
"A Turbo Duel is about to commence. All non-Dueling vehicles must vacate the area immediately. Determining Turbo Duel routes and waiting for authorized request by the Main gate… Authorization granted. Begin Dueling."
The highways shifted and formed until both Angel and the new Duelist raced into the track, the Speed World Two Spell Cards taking effect.
"Lets Duel!" yelled both Angel and the racer as the Duel began.
Angel: 4000
Mysterious Racer: 4000
"Ladies first." said the racer, gesturing his hand. Angel held back a laugh and she pulled out her first card.
"Alright. For my first move, I play my Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger (LV:4/ATK:1600/DEF:1000) in attack mode." said Angel as her tiger beast appeared on the field. "Next, I play spell card, Crystal Release. When I equip this to Topaz, he gains 800 attack points." Topaz Tiger went from 1600 to 2400. "I place one card face down and end my turn." finished Angel.
'Alright. So far so good. Maybe a good Duel is what I need.' thought Angel as her opponent drew a card.
"For my move, I place two cards face down and I summon my Cyber Larva(LV:1/ATK400/DEF:600). I end my turn from there." said the unknown Duelist as he played his cards.
'That's it? He summons a level 1 monster and that's that? No, he's gotten something plan. Something with his face-downs. Ah well, might as well see what'll happen.' thought Angel as she straighten herself.
"You just left yourself wide open! Topaz, use Tiger Frenzy on Cyber Larva!" yelled Angel as her gem-based feline attacked the larva. There was only one problem; The racer wasn't taking any battle damage.
"The-The heck! How come there's no battle damage?" asked Angel. The mysterious Duelist drew a card.
"That's because of Cyber Larva's special ability. When he's attacked by battle damage, I do not loose any Life points. And because he was sent to the Graveyard, I can summon another Cyber Larva in his place." said the racer as a replica of his monster appeared.
Angel: 4000
Mysterious Racer: 4000
"And now, I play my trap card, Trap Stun. Now all the trap cards on your side of the field are destroyed!" yelled the masked Duelist as his trap card destroyed Angel's face-down. "And now I summon another Cyber Larva and end my turn." concluded the male racer.
'Man, that was a good move. It's like he has the whole Duel planned out. I gotta stay focus. I just have to!' thought Angel as it came to her turn.
"I play my spell card,(-;-{) Crystal Counter. When I play this, I can make Topaz like a basic attack and you take the damage of how much life points he has and your monster are instantly sent to the Graveyard, even if you can bring them both back as spares." said Angel as her tiger turned into a ball of golden light and attacked the racer, making him give a sharp yell and his Life Points dropping. Topaz Tiger then returned to Angel's side of the field, giving a triumphant roar.
Angel: 4000
Mysterious Racer: 1600
The male Duelist suddenly gave a laugh. "Nice move, but lets see if you can handle this! Because you have one monster in control, and I have none, I can special summon my Cyber Dragon(LV:5/ATK:2100/DEF:1600) in attack mode." he said as his onyx-black and metallic serpent appeared on the field. Angel's eyes widen at the beast.
"But that's not it! I now play my face-down,(-;-{) Cyber Free-For-All. When I play this card, it allows me to summon another Cyber Dragon," the racer took a pause as another one of his dragons appeared next to the original. "And now, I'm also allowed to play one of the spell cards in my hands, which so happens to be Photon Generator Unit. When I play this card, both of my two Cyber Dragons are used in order for me to special summon my Cyber Laser Dragon(LV:7/ATK:2400/DEF:1800) in attack mode." said the racer as his chrome and crystal-blue dragon materialized on the field with it's sharp muzzle, long tail, gaping wings, and golden-yellow eyes. Angel gasped, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.
"Now, Cyber Laser Dragon, take out her Topaz Tiger!" yelled the green and blue Dueler as his dragon's tail opened with the spikes at the tip of it's tail and shot a rapid and blazing light at the tiger monster. The gem-based beast yowled in pain as it was sent to the Graveyard and Angel coughed as her Life Points dropped.
Angel: 2000
Mysterious Racer: 1600
Angel and the racer turned a corner and the silver-eyed Duelist looked at her opponent's monster. 'That guy has a dragon. They looked like the one from my dream. Is this guy from my dream?' she wondered as she drew a card, taking a small smile as she did.
"Alright, looks like we have to level the field. For my move, I play the spell card, (-;-{) Crystal Ritual. If I have five or more Crystal Beast in my hand, then I can use them to summon a level ten or higher monster. And I just so happen to have five Crystal Beast in my hand." said Angel as she held up her five cards and placed them on the Duel screen. "So now, I use Crystal Beast Garnet Wolf, Sapphire Pegasus, Cobalt Eagle, Amber Mammoth, and Ruby Carbuncle in order to summon my key card! Lets break the speed with Rainbow Dragon!" yelled the crimson and black-haired girl as her powerful dragon appeared on the field.
There was a sudden tremor that interrupted their Duel and Angel gasped as she felt an intense and burning pain sting her arm. She hissed sharply and she looked to her right arm, seeing something glowing. She lifted her arm and saw it was an odd red mark, as if it were drawn on her skin like a tattoo. It looked like an odd looking tail.
"What-What is this?" asked Angel.
"Look out!" yelled the unknown racer suddenly. Angel looked up and ahead and gasped when she saw her Runner was going to hit and a rode block. Before she could, the mysterious Duelist rammed his Runner to Angel's and the two vehicles swerved stately yet bumpily to the side, both machines pulling to a start with heat and small whsip of smoke coming from them. Angel and the racer panted as they both clamed down their pounding heart beats.
"Are you alright? Are you injured?" asked the racer, taking off his helmet. Angel looked at him and gasped, seeing the hair of pale gold. This guy was the guy she saw in her dream last night. The one controlling the Cyber Dragon.
"It's-It's you." she said, nearly breathless. The boy who was called 'Ace' in her dream smiled softly, nodding. He looked about seventeen with pale and sharp features. His long and uneven bangs sprawled across his forehead, one long piece hiding his left eye while the right eye was revealed to be an almost beige, with a tint of purple. He wore a dark blue jacket that looked really old with a black button up shirt. He also wore gray cargo pants with white convers. Around his neck was a necklace, the pendant or whatever hidden by his shirt.
'Yeah, its nice to meet you face-to-face, Ms. Angel. You can call me Ace." said Ace handing out his hand. Angel took his hand and shook it, remaining silent.
"Ace! Angel! Are you two OK?" the two Duelist turned their heads and saw another D-Wheel come racing up to them. The transporting motorcycle pulled to a stop and the owner pulled off his helmet, revealing to be Yukio.
"Yukio! OK, seriously, what the heck is going on? Why was my arm glowing a second ago? Who are you guys?" asked Angel. Both males looked at each other before Yukio looked at her with a sadden smile.
"Angel, what I'm about to say might change the course of life as we know it. What I need you to do is listen to all I must say before you ask questions, alright?" he asked. Angel nodded and Yukio took a deep breath. "Angel Fudo, me and Ace are from the year of 3013, exactly twenty-one years from this time." Angel gasped before Yukio continued.
"Like I told you in your dream last night, we need your help. In our timeline, a great evil has risen and taken over our world. All is empty and only a few have survived. This is a world without feelings, from happiness to strife. We want to change this. With the special engines in our Runners, we were able to travel to this time in order to ask for your help. We call these Time Runners. Would you like to answer a question now or should I continue?" asked the long-haired man. Angel nodded.
"Yeah. What is this evil that's hurting your time? And how can you prove to me that you're from the year, 3013?" she asked. Ace reached into the glove compartment of his Runner and he pulled out a newspaper. He handed it to Angel.
"This is from our timeline, Ms. Angel. This is before everything went wrong." he said. Angel looked at the worn out pages, seeing the brief article of different buildings and cities. They were telling the truth.
"OK, I believe that you're from the future. But how do I know that you guys aren't the ones who are in charge of the evil future?" she asked. Ace pulled out the thing that was attached to his necklace that was under his shirt. It was a dragon that was made of sterling silver with some sort of gem in the middle of it.
"The future Ms. Fudo gave this to me when she wanted for the present Ms. Fudo to know that we were the good guys. Basically, the future you assigned us this mission." he said. Angel blinked in astonishment as she looked at the pendant, not believing that her future self was the one that sent the two males to her time.
"W… Wow." she whispered. Ace took back his trinket and pulled it back into his shirt.
"May I continue?" asked Yukio. Angel nodded.
"Very good. Like I told you in your dream, a great evil that was once vanquished has now returned. Because of that, the stars have realigned and they have chosen you, the bearer of the Crystal Being, to be one of the five Signers of the Crimson Dragon." said the brown-eyed man.
"Crimson Dragon?" asked Angel, looking at her mark with her new mark.
"Yes. An ancient being that has existed for years before even your parents were born. The one who had stopped the risen evil of our world, along with five ancient dragons. You and four others are destined to stop this evil before it causes the future that is yet to come." said Yukio. Angel leaned against her Runner.
"OK. So what's the first thing we have to do to stop this evil?" she asked.
"First, we have to find the four other Signers. They could be either closer or somewhere in the world. But for now, we must rest." said Ace.
"Yes, you are right, Ace. Angel, we will meet again soon. Remember, keep your eyes open in any of your Duels and watch out for those who seem suspicious." said Yukio. Angel nodded as the two future foreigners got on their Time Runners with their helmets on.
"Good bye for now, Angel"
"Be seeing you, Ms. Angel."
Angel waved to them as they raced away, the wind picking up as Angel's haired flew along with it.
'Dear god, it's only been a year after I saved the world and now I have to save it again? Why can't my life just be normal?'
Me: YAY! Second chapter always draws more suspense! I hope you all liked it!
Angel: Who were those guys? Were they really from the future? Who are the new Signers?
Me: Now, now, just be patient. My next guest here will be Ace. I'll try to get some answers from him.
Angel: Isn't he just an OC? Shouldn't you know his secrets already?
Me: Yeah. but it'll be more fun if I do this.
Angel:*Slaps forehead.*
Me: Anyway, please review and I really do hope you all like the plot! See you next time!
This is me saying, Peace!
