Long ago, in a world no one dared to tred, a temple was erected in honour of a cruel individual, his name, Z-One. He ruled with the evillest of intentions. Rumour has it, he made his own parents disappear. The people he ruled over didn't dare put a foot wrong against this madman. That was until one day. A powerful sorceress, after seeing the cruelty that Z-One brought to the people of Divenia, cast a powerful barrier, severing Divinia from the other dimensions. Z-One was powerless to stop this change and vowed he would one day return for revenge. In an act of pure desperation, the sorceress locked away Z-One's power in five cards, these five cards were to be in trusted to five chosen ones. Over the years, those same five cards were handed down to new guardians every 2000 years, now the cards have been sealed away, waiting for their new guardians not knowing that they would be called upon a 1000 years early.
Present Day (1000 years later)
"Angel Queen of Roses attack with Feast of Roses."
The girl on her rose red runner commands towards her monster. As the monster brings an attack down hard on a gopher creature that is on her opponents side of the field. As her opponents life points gets knocked down to zero to the roar of the crowd in the stadium, the rose red runner pulls off on her victory lap while the announcer announced.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your winner and still queen of the turbo duels, Akiza Izinski."
After the announcement, Akiza was waving to the audience while she was on her runner doing her second lap of honour. When she was halfway round. She noticed the guys in the crowd and smiled to them.
In the Audience
We see 3 guys are sat in the bleachers. After just watching the duel, well, 2 of them had been watching while one of them was more content with looking at the girl on the red duel runner. His attention was soon captured when one of the guys waved a hand in front of him, startling the guy into reality.
"Earth calling Yusei, you in there buddy?"
The boy known as Yusei noticed the guy speaking to him and just stared at him with a hard stare before asking.
"Yeah Crow, what is it?"
Crow smirked, he knew his friend was preoccupied with Akiza and it showed on Yusei's face, even if he never realised it. So with Yusei's undivided attention, he spoke again.
"Just thought you'd be a little bit more excited Akiza retained her crown, not everyday she takes on someone who could give her a challenge."
This caused Yusei to sigh with a smirk before rising from his seat causing Crow to say.
"Hey where you going!?"
The Tunnels
The sounds of Duel Runners dying down their engines are the only thing that can be heard in the garage area after the final match. As Akiza rolls her runner towards her teams maintenance area, she found her Pit crew waiting to take her runner from her.
"Hey as anyone seen Corey?"
Akiza asked quizzically only for one of Whitefang's buddies to point her over to him, laid under one of the runners that was in his area with his earbuds in making her smile.
As she walked towards him, she noted that was in deep concentration while trying to fix a broken brake line which had snapped during the Queen of Speed tournament semi finals, Akiza, seeing her best friend blissfully unaware, decided to speak up.
"Hey, Corey, you all there buddy?"
After saying this, Akiza gave the males foot a slight nudge with her own foot. This sudden movement caused the mechanic to jerk up and hit his head on the runner he was working on, causing him to yelp in pain and swear under his breath. When he eventually opened his eyes from the slight knock, he noticed who had nudged his foot before taking out his earbuds so he could speak to Akiza.
"Ah, Akiza, went a bit overboard with that last attack to end the final didn't you? Poor girl was ready to cry her eyes out."
Akiza rolled her eyes playfully at the mechanic. As came from under the duel runner while he was wiping his hands on the rag he kept in his back pocket, Akiza couldn't help but laugh at the state her friend was in.
"How does Sherry cope with all that dirt on your clothes? It must be a nightmare having to wash after you."
Whitefang couldn't help but shrug. Mischief glinting in his eyes and a laugh brewing. He used his dirtied thumb to leave a smear on Akiza's face causing her to punch Whitefang playfully in the arm. Akiza was Whitefang's first and best friend at Duel Academy where his Armageddon deck was infamous. No matter who faced him, it ended the same way, the only ones brave enough to face him was Akiza and Leo. Despite that, he was probably the nicest guy in DA. He also could speak to his deck leader. Like Luna can with her cards. Despite their laughter, it was cut short as someone coughed to get their attention, Whitefang to first to notice and then soon smile.
"Corey, I think you've tortured Akiza enough."
Whitefang turned to find his girlfriend stood in the garage doorway leaned against the door frame. Sherry Leblanc, despite being the most sought after French girl in New Domino, she shocked her wealthy family by choosing Whitefang as her beloved. Story goes that Whitefang saved Sherry from his old rival Jacques Vanne Damn and the gang he run with who was causing Sherry trouble. With a look square in his eyes, Whitefang spoke.
"Ah, Moncheriè, she finally grace me with your presence, I feel honoured."
Whitefang says playfully to his smiling girlfriend before giving her a kiss as she approached him. Once she realised the state he was in, she spoke sternly.
"You are getting showered tonight before I take you anywhere mister, You have to look presentable if I you want to go the places I go to my love."
Whitefang mimicked his girlfriends voice with his hand before getting another painful punch to the arm. This time, it caused him to rub his arm causing him to pout. When Sherry noticed Akiza, she spoke to Whitefang.
"Babe, I need to speak to Akiza a second, could you wait outside for me?"
Whitefang nodded before walking out of the garage door. Sherry soon made sure he had gone before she sat down with a sigh to which Akiza had picked up on almost immediately. Pulling up a chair, Akiza spoke.
"You still haven't told him have you?"
At that, Sherry shook her head making her sigh with worry.
"How am I supposed to explain to the man I love that I can create and manipulate water without him thinking I'm a freak?"
Akiza shrugs lightly before clicking her fingers. When that happens, a little flame appears and starts flickering, making Sherry stare in wonder at the fire before her. But as quick as it appears. It soon disappears from Akiza's index finger before she speaks.
"It's been 10 weeks since I realised I could control fire, I just don't think I'm ready either to tell Yusei about it, I guess it's just something we'll have to wait out."
Sherry nodded in confirmation. For some weeks, Sherry and Akiza had to keep their hidden abilities a secret from their unsuspecting boyfriends. Sherry, for example, had discovered her ability when Whitefang had splashed water at her while they were lounging in the houses pool. After that had happened, she had created a spurt of water from her finger, spraying Whitefang. Despite this, he was completely oblivious and had thought Sherry had gotten the hose on him for splashing her. Making Sherry herself sigh in relief. For Akiza, she discovered her power after she accidentally set her clothes on fire, resulting in her having to wear t-shirts and jeans. When asked about her new attires, she either changed the subject or blanked the person asking.
Outside
Making sure no one was around to hear or spy on him, Whitefang stood leaned against the garage door with his Were-Rider Armageddon card out of its deck box. As he whispered for it to appear and when it did he spoke in an air of authority, making the young man smirk.
"Speak."
Whitefang doesn't hesitate as he says.
"I believe I have found the reincarnated guardians of Water and Fire. With Akiza and Sherry, I sense they control the elements of fire and water, the same elements of Black Rose and Fleur De Chevalier, how do I proceed?"
Armageddon nodded before speaking, he stopped when something caught the entities eye in the shadows staring at the two before continuing.
"Take caution, make sure they are not aware of their destinies at all until these cards are safely into the decks of the people you have seen use elemental powers. Take caution, everyday, I can sense something evil, sleeping, bidding it's time and growing it's strength."
Armageddon produced 5 cards from mid-air before handing them one by one to his protegè with the images face down. Once they were safely away, Whitefang asks.
"What will you do now Armageddon?"
The elder smiled warmly before placing a hand on his students shoulder and saying.
"I must find the sorceress, if she has awoken with the awakening of your friend's powers, then I feel he will soon rise as well."
Whitefang nodded aware of his duty. As the entity vanished back into the card he came from, just about the same time the shadow did. Whitefang looked at the cards in his hand before pocketing them just as Sherry came looking for him.
"There you are honey, are you ready to go?"
As Whitefang acknowledged the question with a nod, he was very wary of the shadow that was stalking him earlier as it watched him walk away.
That Night
With sleep hard to come by and mission fresh in his mind, Whitefang stirred from his sleep. Making sure Sherry was still asleep on her side of the bed. He silently crept out of his side of the bed and proceeded to remove Fleur De Chevalier's card from his jeans pocket.
"Now to find my girlfriend's deck."
Remembering quickly, Whitefang proceeded to open a compartment in the dressing table where Sherry kept her cards. While Whitefang was doing this. He was unaware of the water like noose forming around his feet. As he opened the deck box and slipped the card into the container. He sighed in relief. But the minute it soon clicked to him that there was water on the floor. It was too late as it trapped his feet and lifted him high in the air by his feet, making him yell in surprise. clamping a hand over his mouth, the water trap soon turned him around to face a glaring Sherry. Making him give off a muffled laugh albeit nervously. As Sherry spoke in an unsettling voice towards Whitefang, he could hint the danger in voice.
"Hi Honey."
Sherry's sweetness soon turned sour as she glared Whitefang down until he removed his hand from his mouth as she dropped him to the floor with a thud as she noticed a card glowing from inside her deck box, with one sceptical look, she asks Whitefang.
"What did you do Corey?!"
Whitefang didn't say anything after they both saw a single card lift itself out of the box and speak in a voice like silk towards Sherry.
"Touch me, maiden of the water."
Sherry looked at the card with a look of horror, without realising, her hand moved towards it, the card began to send a surge of its power through her. As a tidal wave overcame Sherry and completely enveloped her, with one hand, she swiped at the water as though it was nothing. With the water vanishing into her and the card vanishing back into the box. Sherry fell to her knees, breathing heavily before looking at her shell shocked boyfriend who was just as surprised as her. With a quick breath, she asked.
"What did you do to me?"
Whitefang gulped. No words could form in his mouth, like they had been swept away after the spectacle he had just witnessed. Once his shell shock had receded, he pulled Sherry into a hug before saying into her shoulder.
"Babe, I'll explain everything in due time, right now, avoid contact with suspicious looking individuals and keep that card safe, no one must know you have it."
When they pulled apart, Sherry nodded at the seriousness of her boyfriend's tone before he stands to change into his jeans and a hoodie before exiting through the second story window in the bedroom leaving Sherry shell shocked.
At Yusei's
With the stealth of a ninja, Whitefang slipped quietly in through the door of Yusei and Akiza's home with ease before closing the door silently and making his way to the stairs. Once there, started heading up the stairs carefully, once up there, he came across Yusei and Akiza's room. Pulling out the deck box, he removes the card meant for Akiza.
"OK the card is glowing that's a good sign, wait both of them?"
It was true, not only was Black Rose glowing but Stardust Dragon was glowing too. As he crept into the room to continue his task without getting toasted by the girl who controlled fire. He pulled both deck boxes out of a tin and placed the cards inside the respective boxes.
"There we go, sit tight, I'll find the other two at sometime in the future."
Whitefang muttered quietly with a smile as he exited through the bedroom window while a sleeping Akiza and Yusei had no idea of what was in store for them as they slept peacefully and oblivious to the male who had invaded their room.
Outside
As Whitefang removed his hood after exiting through the window of Yusei and Akiza's, Armageddon decided to make his presence known, as he appeared at the side of Whitefang before speaking.
"I trust your task went well."
Whitefang nodded with a smile at the entity. As the two walked the darkened street unaware of a Spawn spying on them. Whitefang asks.
"What will happen once the guardians are here master?"
Armageddon looks at further on as the two walk further down the street, deciding now was a good time to fill Whitefang in.
"A great evil is awakening Whitefang, I have tasked you with finding these guardians before the evil one decides to awaken from his slumber, Once the ladies and Yusei are ready, you will soon unlock your powers. Be vigilant."
With that, Whitefang was soon left outside his and Sherry's home with even more questions than answers. Answers he would soon have.
