Chapter 2 - Revelation of Rising Love

I snapped out of my fainting spell after a while. I opened my eyes, and I saw one thing that delighted me: the sights of the band room I was in before. What surprised me, when I woke up, were the things they were saying.

"Arlene, are you okay? You've been out for 3 days now," said Bradley Peralta, another member of our band, "Plus, even Yusei and your boyfriend were worried about you."

"I'm fine," I said. I felt really weak.

"I'm confused about one thing, though. It only felt like a few hours, but how is it that I've been gone for days?"

"One thing," said Bradley, "There have been stories going out recently. I regret telling you this so late, because I didn't remember that and I was too busy."

I was so confused. I didn't have any idea of what was going on. I asked him, "What stories?"

"I can answer that for you," mentioned a serious female voice. We all turned to it in confusion.

We saw the most prestigious teacher in all of our school. It was Miss Davis, who was wearing a fancy maroon suit today.

"Two days ago, bad weather started to show up around the world. Not just ordinary weather, sadly.

"It had a dark aura, and lightning struck recently. When it did, the lightning was, instead of white, a red color.

"I am afraid that something bad is returning again, to destroy the universe's very core. Arlene was mentioned as one of the people who can help stop this terror."

Calvin Syrius asked, "You said 'one.' Who are the others?"

Miss Davis replied, "Joan Trias, Mark Driar, Nora Mireda and Emiri Soria."

I was a bit less confused. Still, I just had to ask, "Who are these people?"

Miss Davis was also confused. "Even I don't know the full truth of the prophecy. You will have to discover who these people are yourself, Arlene. If I know right, though, they must have had the same dream as you."

I was shocked. Yet, how could she know about the dream?

I slightly grasped my chest with my right hand, but something was cushioning the grasp. I looked at the palm of the hand, and I saw a deck of cards apparently face-down from how I looked at it. I turned over the cards, curious, and I saw words and pretty pictures corresponding to a respective card.

I looked through the set and I saw a certain card that really grasped my attention. On the card, it read "Stardust Dragon." I looked over more and saw another card of the same background as the Stardust Dragon's card. It seemed to take control of my interest, as it read "Sinusoidal Dragon." Nothing I have ever seen before, but somehow I recall seeing this card once before. Someone was holding it, grasping my hand in what seemed like pure love.

Suddenly, I snapped out of it and gasped involuntarily. In response, everyone turned toward me.

Miss Davis was a bit curious, so she asked me, "What card is that?"

I replied in a weak voice, "Sinusoidal Dragon."

She responded calmly, "The very card that he used, is it?"

"I guess so, Miss Davis. Since I recall that silent moment with him."

"Oh, I just remembered, Arlene. Travis, Daniel, Minh and Victor were all working on this D-Wheel and wouldn't mind giving it to you. You can use it for Riding Duels, and I heard that it's also a hybrid. I guess it could help you someday."

"Miss Davis, what was my dream about?"

"I don't really know. All I know was that it was a wall mentioning some kind of prophecy. It didn't really make sense to me, though."

"I see. Thanks for the information and the D-Wheel." I smiled, grateful. I had a bit of a feel of a D-Wheel before.

Just then, I heard the sounds of two motorcycles driving by across school. We all ran outside in alarm, curious about what the noise was about.

I looked up, and I realized this was a Riding Duel going on, because of the sky being purple. We walked even further towards the middle of the school and saw the damage caused by the duel. We could tell that it was damage caused by such because of those holes not being there before. Another force was there, though. I guess, my life isn't ordinary anymore.

I can tell that we are all likely to be in an enigmatic situation now. So I wished upon that card, the Sinusoidal Dragon, that things will be all right.

"My love, help us now."
