Kaijudo: Secret of the Null

Chapter 1: One year later

One year as past since the defeat of the Choten; He disappeared in the Kaiju realm. The duelmasters searched for him during the year and they never found him. During that year, Ray, Allie and Gabriel are still Adepts in the temple but they become better with the used of the spells. The 3 were a little down after a while. They didn't really have any reasons to call their friend and partner of the Kaiju realm. They only duel during the training, but they didn't spend much time with them like when they were fighting the Choten.

Another reason to not call their partner is that the creatures of the 5 civilisations had been revealed in the light of the entire world. A lot of people wondered what they were, ignoring a lot of about them. The duelmasters knew it was now impossible to erase their mind. It had been recorder and spread in the internet and the entire world. The duelmasters now had to be perfectly discreet. They knew that the government is searching for answers and are planning counter measures in case the creatures invaded again. That was during the first month.

The secret was revealed and there was nothing they could do to bring it back to normal. That was what they believed for a while. After the first month, when everything was reconstructed, everything was back to normal for an unknown reason. Everyone, except the duelmasters and those who already knew, forgot about it and all information about the creatures in the internet, news, etc. had been erased. The duelmasters spent a lot of time searching for the cause of this and they haven't found anything. They never found out who gave help to arrange everything. Even now, the duelmasters are extra careful when summoning their creatures in case people spot it and this miracle didn't occur again.

Also, Nigel and Tiera had never been found during the year. They are still searching for them around the world but not a trace had been found.

Ray was satisfied with the end of his fight against the Choten. He finally had his father back in the family and it was one great year for him. The only thing that sadden him was the fact that he had less time with Tatsurion, who he nicknamed Bob.

Sometimes, Ray was in his mind and thought about everything that happen when he was busy fighting the creatures and the Choten. He realised that his life became boring after all he had live. His thought was cut when he hit someone.

The sound of books was made when they fall on the ground. He looked in front of him and he saw a girl who already knee to take her books.

"Sorry. Let me help you." Said Ray.

He helped her taking the book and gave them back to the girl. He looked at her.

She is a girl with pale brown skin. She has long black hair on her back attached with a blue ribbon. She has chocolate brown eyes. She wears a blue shirt decorated with a yellow son on the back of the T-shirt. She also wears a brown pant with a few pink lines on it. She wears high boots of black color.

"Thank you." Said the girl. She looked at Ray.

Ray is now 15 years old. He still had his black hair with some red at the end of it when it passed on his peach skin. His eyes are brown. He wears his green shirt under a brown vest like usual. He wears a blue jean with black shoes. He is a little taller than her who's 5,4 ft. tall.

"Sorry again. I was in my thought and-" He was cut by the girl.

"You are not the only one at fault. I was looking for my friend and didn't paid attention in front of me...Speaking of him...There he is...Sometimes he walked on his own." Said the girl.

Ray looked at the one she walked to and he realised he wasn't someone normal at first sight. The boy has very pale skin covering all of his body. He has long pure white hair on his head. He putted a black attach to hold his hair on his back. He wears a blue shirt and a blue pants. He also wears a bandage over his eyes. He was the same size as the girl.

"Why did you wonder off by yourself again?" Asked the girl.

"Just want to look around." The boy then looked at Ray. "Hello there. My name is Yvan."

"Hello there...Mine is Raiden Pierce-Okamoto...But you can just call me Ray." Said the fire Adept.

"Mine is Diane...Well...We have to move on. Class begin soon Yvan." Said the girl.

"Alright." Said Yvan.

The 2 walked away. Ray said nothing and he walked at the direction of his class.

Ray reached his class in time and nothing much happen during class. He did his exercise and he received lectures for the next day he had class. The next one was the same until it was time for diner. He walked at the cafeteria and he saw his 2 friends waiting for him.

His childhood friend Allison Underhill, also known as Allie is a girl with long blond hair. She eyes are green. She had Caucasian skin. She wears a purple T-shirt and a purple pant. The purple T-shirt had the next section for dark purple than the rest of the T-shirt like her pant. She wears also purple gloves that don't cover her fingers. She wears brown boot.

His other friend is Gabriel Wallace who is also known as Gabe. He is a man who is chubbier than Ray and Allie. He has brown skin. The colors of his eyes are blue. He wears a blue shirt and a dark blue short. He has yellow/green shoes and a yellow beret on his black hair.

He joined them and they talked together for a while until Ray noticed the 2 teenagers he closed before school started. He saw them walked at the direction of an empty table to talk together. He noticed that Yvan wasn't a guy who had a lot of appetite since he is eating very lightly.

"Ray...Are you listening?" Asked Allie.

"Oh...Yeah...What were we talking about?" Asked Ray.

"We were talking about our morning class." Said Allie a little loud. "We have nothing else to say anyway now."

"A new student was presented today. His name is Yvan and he will be here for the rest of the year." Said Gabe.

"You mean the kid with Diane over there?" Asked Ray. He looked at them.

Gabriel checked at them.

"Yes. He's the new kid in our class." Said Gabriel. "He wasn't really the emotional type."

"So...Can you tell us more Gabe?" Asked Allie.

"Not that much. He isn't talking a lot to anyone else except Diane." Said Gabriel. "He didn't really explain why he moved school. A few students tried to talk to him but he mostly answered a short sentence."

"Not the social types hum?" Asked Allie.

"No." Said Gabriel.

"Do you think something will happen today?" Asked Ray. He knew nothing big will happen. It was always calm in San Champion since the defeat of the Choten.

"No." Said Allie.

"The last big thing that happen was months ago when everything turned back to normal...Brutally." Said Gabe.

"Yeah...I woke up and the people suddenly talked like there never was any monster attacking." Said Allie.

"No one has found the answer yet." Said Ray.

"The answer will surely remain in the dark." Commented Allie.

After this, they continued eating and talking for the rest of the lunch time before returning to class for the rest of the day. They then prepared themselves for their usual after school time, thinking it will be the same.

For once, they were wrong.

After school, they usually return to the Kaijudo temple, but this time, they received a call from the Duelmasters and asked to investigate an alley. One of the Stalker Sphere stopped showing image that sector. They learn that it had been attacked.

The 3 ran at the direction of the alley where the Stalker Sphere was. They arrived at the scene and they saw nothing special.

"Nothing?" Asked Ray. He putted his glove that turned into his evolved gauntlet. His 2 friends did the same.

"It is here." Said Gabriel. "The Stalker Sphere was here before his destruction...Maybe what destroy it had enough time to disappear."

"It can still be here." Said Ray.

They heard a sound and they looked at each other's. They knew there was only a creature that could have made that. They ran at the source of it and when they see it, they stop.

They saw the creature.

"Is that..." Started Gabriel afraid.

"...A darkness creature?" Finished Allie.

The creature turned around and the 3 looked at it. The creature was completely grey and seemed lifeless. He has the morphology of a human with the 2 arms and 2 legs, but the face was a skeleton with a horn on the front color dark grey. He doesn't have eyes, but only empty holes. It had a long sword on his right hand, also grey color. He wears an armor covering his body, arms, hands and legs of the same color. On the chest, there is a symbol of the darkness civilisation, but the symbol is broken.

They are 2 things that made the trio think it is a darkness creature. First of all, he was completely gray while most of the darkness creature didn't have gray color. Secondly, the 3 cannot fell any mana coming from the creature; it was doing the opposite; his empty holes where his eyes should be seemed to attract some mana remaining in the air of San Champion, and also the broken Stalker Sphere near it.

"That is not a darkness creature." Said Ray.

The creature ignored them for a moment, when the Stalker Sphere was out of mana, it turned at their direction and he seemed to smell their mana. He raised his long sword.

"Get ready." Said Ray. "Tatsurion the Unchained!"

The symbol of the fire civilisation appeared behind Ray and Tatsurion landed near Ray.

Tatsurion, who is nicknamed Bob, is a hybrid of the Beast Kin of the nature civilisation and the dragon of the fire civilisation. Tatsurion has most of his skin of red color, but he had a few gray zones on his red skin. His face is brown with a few white furs on his jaw. His eyes are green and shining. On his forehead, he has horns of gray color with green lines at the 3 extremities, 2 moved on each side of his head and the last one is on the top. He has silver horns on his red snort and on the 2 side of his cheek. He has a gray armor and also gray bracelet on his wrist with red and long chain. His arms are more muscular and longer than his legs. His tail is half red from the butt to the middle. The rest is gray with a few green spikes at the end. In his back, he has 2 big and long red wings with gray hard shell that hang it together. He can put it in his back.

"Ray." Said Tatsurion with a smile.

"We have no time Bob. It's coming." Said Ray.

Tatsurion said nothing and looked at the enemy and he jumped away from the sword and he countered with his tail. He smashed the gray knight and thrown him away.

"Backup is coming Ray." Said Allie. "Scaradorable of Gloom Hollow!"

The symbol of the darkness civilisation appeared but suddenly, a seal appeared on it and stopped the creature to pass the veil.

"What?!" Shouted Allie surprise. She tried again but the veil didn't open this time. "It...Never happen before."

"Let me try." Said Gabriel. "Reef Prince Glu-urrgle!"

Nothing happen again.

"We're on our own Bob." Said Ray.

"I know." Said Tatsurion. He raised his left fist and the bracelet opened and revealed the missiles in it. He fired at the gray creature and the creature dodges it. The explosions caused damage in the alley but nothing too bad.

"Bob! Be careful and don't destroy everything. It a crowed place." Warned Ray.

"...Alright." Said Tatsurion.

His head ignite in fire and he charged at the gray creature. He smashed against it and he crushed him against a wall. The sword of the gray creature moved and entered in the left arm of Tatsurion. Tatsurion shouted in pain and he backed away. The sword was still in his arm. Tatsurion took it and threw it away.

"Bob!" Shouted Ray.

"That's nothing. I'm fine." Said Tatsurion. His voice was angry now. He is ready to crush the gray creature.

He charged at the creature and he charged. His right arm is now on fire and he punched the gray creature and he crushed it against a wall. He raised his hand and he threw a blue ball. Tatsurion jumped in the air and he opened his wings. He flied in the air and he is about to fire at the creature when he saw that he was charging at his 3 human friends. He said nothing and he realised that the creature gave up fast when he could attack him. He let himself fall and he landed on the gray creature and crushed it on the ground. He tried to immobilise him but the creature caught the leg of Tatsurion and he made him fall on the ground. The creature slashed the face of Tatsurion.

"Argh!" Grunted Tatsurion.

He looked at the creature and he slashed the chest and pierced the armor of Tatsurion. Tatsurion called the cannon on his shoulder and he fired at the creature 2 times and hit it. Explosion occurred and smoke covers the alley.

"Now you're gone!" Shouted Tatsurion.

"You beat that thing Bob." Said Ray.

"But...What is that? I never see a creature like that." Said Gabriel.

"I don't know...It's the first time I've seen this creature with those symbol on his armor." Said Ray.

Tatsurion turned at the direction of the smoke and he sniffed the air with his nostril.

"He is not gone." Said Tatsurion.

He suddenly saw a gray line appearing and it entered in the chest of Tatsurion, where armor is not covering it because of the slash. Tatsurion grunted in pain and he saw blue smoke coming out of his chest and moving on the line that is turning blue. Tatsurion felt his mana getting out of him. He then saw the creature, his mouth opened like mandible with a longue and gray tongue turning blue and draining the mana. Tatsurion fought to free himself but he couldn't escape it. The body of Tatsurion started trembling.

"Urgh..." Said Tatsurion with a weaker voice. He then felt on his knee and he tried to break the tongue with his claw, but he failed.

The 3 teenagers looked at Tatsurion.

"Come on...Work this time." Said Allie. "Scaradorable of Gloom Hollow!"

Nothing happen again.

Tatsurion looked at the gray creature and his vision started to lose his focus.

"BOB!" Screamed Ray running at his direction.

"No...Ray...Run..." Said Tatsurion weakly.

"No! I won't leave you!" Shouted Ray.

"Wait...Why is Bob still here?" Asked Gabriel even if he was scared. He took more time to realise it but Tatsurion is more than low enough on mana to return to the Kaiju realm.

"You're right." Said Allie surprise when she noticed it.

Something strange happen next; Tatsurion was still being drained of mana and his body was now turning pale gray like the creature. It started to spread from the legs. Ray, Gabriel and Allie realised that Tatsurion is agonising. Tatsurion is weaker. The more he loses strength the more Tatsurion lost his color and turn gray.

"BOB! DON'T DIE!" Screamed Ray.

Suddenly, a ray appeared and cut the tongue. Tatsurion felt on the ground and he didn't move. Suddenly, another creature appeared and cut in half the gray one with an energy sword. When they gray creature disappeared, the one who defeated it made his sword disappearing and he looked at the group.

It was the one who saved Diane one year ago, they didn't know about that.

"Looks like I was here just in time." Said the creature in his blue armor.

"BOB!" Screamed Ray running by the side of Tatsurion.

He putted his hand on the nose of Tatsurion and he looked at him worried and also relieved.

"...Ray..." Said Tatsurion weakly. He then closed his eyes and said nothing else.

Ray patted the nose.

Allie and Gabriel were by his side for a few seconds before Allie turned at the other creature who was watching.

"Who are you?" Asked Allie.

"Y." Said the creature.
