Chapter 3: Uncovering the Truths!
There they were, Matsu, Kira, and Rick. All three of them facing a minion of the Dark Signers. "I do not wish to fight against you two. Not yet anyway...My mission is to take him out," he pointed a finger at Rick. "and then I can take care of you two." said the Dark Signer.
Rick gulped. He was afraid of dueling this man. He had just seen another duelist face him and lose. Even worse, he saw the same duelist disappear after he lost. "No way, I can't! I saw what you did! I saw that guy get hurt and disappear!"
Kira was amazed. "Are you saying that there was someone else with you?!" Rick simply nodded, still too afraid to speak too much. "That means...that we came too late! We could have had a chance to help out another one of the survivors!"
"It doesn't matter, I'll only move when you agree to duel me!" yelled Matsu. The man simply refused to duel unless it was Rick. "Tell you what..." said the man. "if Rick can defeat me in a duel, then I can assure that it'll be the last time that you'll see any of us again." Kira stepped forth. "If that's true, then how about you duel me?"
Rick knew that he had to do something. These guys, whom he had never met before, were offering to risk their lives for his. He gulped, still trembling a bit as he stepped forth. "T-thanks, b-but I'll h-handle this m-myself. W-want to d-duel? Then l-let's go!" The man prepared himself. "Perfect. Now, when I'm through with you, I'll go after the other two!"
Kira and Matsu stepped back as the wall of flame appeared again. "Duel!" yelled the two.
Rick drew his card, starting his turn. Fortunately for him, the man was generous enough to allow him to have the first turn. He checked out the cards in his hand. He had a good hand, made up of Marauding Captain, Reinforcements of the Army, Combo Fighter, Spiritual Earth Art-Kurogane, Upstart Goblin, and Gamble.
"I'll start by activating the spell card, Reinforcements of the Army!" Rick felt really confident at the moment. He had a surefire plan to make a defense strong enough to block any incoming attacks. Not only that, but his opponent had no face-down cards, so he could pull it off without any worries. "With this, I can add a level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from my deck to my hand." The deck shuffled itself. When it stopped, there was a card on top of it that seemed like it would fall out. This was the card he chose. "Next, I'll summon my Marauding Captain (1200/400) in attack mode! Thanks to its monster effect, your monsters cannot attack any of my monsters other than this one! Plus, it has another effect! When it's normal summoned, I can special summon another level four or lower monster from my hand! So, I'll choose the monster that I added to my hand with Reinforcements of the Army, and that was...another Marauding Captain! (1200/400)" He placed the card, causing a man wearing a lot of armor and wielding two swords to appear. Now, there were two Marauding Captains on the field. He had indeed created a powerful defense. Still, his turn wasn't over yet.
"Now, I get to use my second Marauding Captain's effect, and summon another monster from my hand." He placed the third card on the Duel Disk, causing another monster to appear. This one was a young man, with red, spiky hair, a long green headband wrapped around his head. He was also wearing bandages on both of his arms. He was well built, and seemed to be martial arts fighter of some sort. "I summon Combo Fighter (1600/800) in attack mode! I'll end my turn."
'Yes! I have a great defense! If he summons a monster, he won't be able to do any damage to me. Since he can only attack my Marauding Captain, I made sure to put two of them so that all of his attacks are canceled!'
(4000-4000)
It was his opponent's turn now, drawing a card as he started. "I'll start by activating the permanent spell card, Gravekeeper's Servant! With this, unless you send one card from the top of your deck to the grave, you cannot attack. To make it even worse, I'll activate the permanenet spell card, Toll! Now, unless you also pay 500 Life Points, you can't attack. Of course, that spell affects me too. I'll summon Humanoid Slime (800/2000) in defense mode!" All of the cards appeared one after the other. Both of the spells were face-up. One of the spells had a guard standing in front of a gate, with a poor man handing him a gold coin. The other spell had a picture of a graveyard, with the silhoutte of a creature that resembled the Grim Reaper projected on the moon. Then came a blue slime monster that was in the shape of a human and wore gold armor. "Now, I'll finish my turn by activating the permanent spell card, Messenger of Peace! As long as I pay 100 life points each turn, we cannot attack with monsters that have 1500 attack points of more!"
(4000-4000)
'Damn! He's got me! I thought I had a great defense, but he's got a better one! Not only do I lose cards and life points for each attack, but I need a monster that has 1500 attack points or less to do it. Let's not forget the slime monster. With its 2000 defense points, its unbeatable!'
He drew his next card. It was Tribute to the Doomed. His fear had slowly began to rise. It wasn't affecting much, but that was because his opponent had yet to harm him. But, the moment he does, the fear would finally get to him, and it would severely affect his dueling. "I'll activate Tribute to the Doomed. By discarding the Gamble that I have in my hand, I can destroy one of your monsters! So say goodbye to your Humanoid Slime!" The spell card appeared on his field. Then, a mummy came jumped out and landed before Humanoid Slime. It wrapped it around in bandages and they melted into the floor, disappearing from the field. "I'll place one card face-down, and end my turn."
He placed his Spiritual Earth Art-Kurogane on the Duel Disk. 'I'm sure that this will come in handy later...'
(4000-4000)
His opponent had drawn his next card. A light emerged from the Messenger of Peace Card that was on the field, and hit him. The damage wasn't much, but he did lose 100 life points. "I'll place one monster face-down in defense mode, and I'll place one card face down. Your move."
(3900-4000)
Rick drew his next card. It was Amazon Archer. "I'll summon Amazon Archer (1400/1000) in attack mode." A young woman, wielding a bow and arrow appeared. "Now, I can activate her effect. By sending two monsters on my side of the field, you lose 1200 life points! So, I'll send my Combo Fighter and one of my Marauding Captains!" The woman pulled back on the arrow, aiming at the man. She released it, and it flew at a high speed, hitting the man in his shoulder. "I'll end my turn."
(2700-4000)
It was the man's turn now. Once again, the light from Messenger of Peace hit him, and he lost 100 life points. "I start by flip summoning Dummy Golem (800/800) in attack mode!" A small golem appeared on the field when he placed the card on the duel disk. "Now, choose one monster that you control, and control of it is switched to me, as long as I give you this one."
Rick was unsure of which to choose. There could have been many ways for his opponent to inflict damage now. Unfortunately for him, he had no idea how his opponent was going to attack. Eventually, he chose a monster, which ended up being a horrible mistake. "I choose my Marauding Captain!" Both monsters jumped, switching to their opponent's field.
"Now, I'll activate the trap card, DNA Transplant! With this, I can make all monsters on the field a certain attribute. So, I'll choose the wind attribute. Next, I'll sacrifice Marauding Captain to summon, Swift Birdman Joe (2300/1400) in attack mode!" The Marauding Captain on his side of the field disappeared, and in it's place, was a man with green hair, who looked more like a bird than an actual person. He floated up in the air above the other monsters. "His special ability activates. When I tribute summon him by sacrificing a Wind attribute monster, all spell and trap cards on the field are sent back to their respective owner's hand." The monster flapped his wings, releasing a powerful gust of wind and sending all cards back to their owner's hand.
"Now, attack his Dummy Golem!" commanded the Dark Signer. The monster flew at the small golem and swiped at him, ripping it apart. It then went after Rick, a malicious grin on its face. He swiped at Rick, and then returned back to his owner's side of the field. Not only did it inflict damage to Rick's life points, it also inflicted physical damage on Rick. Rick fell to the floor, most of his upper body covered in cuts and blood.
This man really was different than all the others. His strategy was focusing less on having strong monsters to attack his opponent with, and more on making his opponent destroy himself. What was even worse, Rick had the power to defeat this man, but that last attack caused his fear to resurface. He got up, feeling a bit weak.
"Come on, you can do this Rick!" yelled out Kira. "Yeah! Don't let this guy get to you!" Matsu added.
The man activated the three cards that he had before. Rick was in real trouble now. Messenger of Peace, Gravekeeper's Servant, and Toll were once again on the field. The man concluded his turn with that and allowed Rick to start his.
(2600-2500)
But their cries fell on deaf ears as Rick was too afraid to pay attention to them. He drew another card, trembling as he did. His next card was a special one. It was Lightning Swordsman*. He placed the spells and traps back on the field, taking a look at his Amazon Archer, and at Swift Birdman Joe. He was planning on using that trap card of his to bring back a monster, but he would have to wait until the next turn. "I-i'll s-switch my Amazon A-archer to defense mode. I-i'll end my turn..."
(2600-2500)
Matsu and Kira were worried. They knew as well as anybody that when a duelist became nervous, he missed the little details that would have helped him win a duel. "Rick! Pay attention! There is nothing to be afraid of!" yelled Matsu. Rick didn't hear this, and so, he just kept trembling as his opponent continued with his move. His opponent drew a card, smiling as he did. He already knew that he had won. His opponent couldn't attack without losing life points, and if he did, he had to do it with a monster that would be too weak to destroy his Birdman. As he already knew would happen, his Messenger of Peace card shined a light that slightly hurt him.
"I'll place one card face-down. Sorry servant, but you have officially lost this duel. There is no way that you can defeat me now. I'll activate the spell card, Tremendous Fire!" A card appeared next to him. It featured three small monsters surrounded by fire. "Thanks to this, I'll lose 500 life points." The card turned around, and a fireball hit him. It pushed him back a couple of feet, and caused part of his clothes to catch on fire. He patted the parts that were on fire and put it out. He then looked at his opponent. The evil smile on his face served as a warning to Rick. "In return, you lose 1000 life points!" The card turned to Rick now, and a large fireball hit him, pushing him back. Although part of his clothes did catch on fire, they were put out when he fell to the ground.
"I'll end my turn."
(2100-1500)
Matsu and Kira knew that something was wrong. The man said that Rick was as good as done now, but Rick still had life points. They knew that whatever he was planning, it had something to do with that card that he had placed face-down. "Rick! Snap out of it! You can do this! Just trust your cards and believe that you can win!" yelled Matsu.
Rick finally heard what he said. This was enough to force him back on his feet. He drew another card, this time, it was Silent Insect. "I will activate my trap card! Minor Goblin Official!" called out his opponent. The face-down card rose up, revealing a card with three goblins on it, with the middle one looking like he was in charge. "After this, you will lose 500 life points on each of your standby phases."
With this, Rick knew that he only had a few turns before he lost. But he still had to go on. "I will summon my Lightning Swordsman* (2000/1000) in attack mode! I'll end my turn with that." A warrior covered in yellow-grey armor appeared. He was wielding a standard katana that shot out sparks of lighting and electricity.
(2100-1500)
"Glad to see that you have finally lost your senses." said his opponent. In a way, he was close to losing his senses. Sure, he was no longer stammering when he spoke, but he was still shaking every single moment he was in the duel.
His opponent drew, the light from Messenger of Peace hitting him once more. "I'll summon Harpie's Brother (1800/600) in attack mode! Your move." Yes, his move was simple, but Matsu and Kira knew better. They could feel that something was wrong, that there was more to this than meets the eye. He was planning something big, something that no one would see coming.
(2000-1500)
Rick drew, and prepared himself for the hit that was about to come. "Minor Goblin Official's effect activates. You lose 500 life points!" yelled out his opponent. A club flew from the card, and hit Rick. Fortunately, Rick was able to stay up after the hit. "My turn! I activate my trap card, Spiritual Earth Art-Kurogane! By sending my Amazon Archer to the graveyard, I can special summon one level 4 or lower monster from my grave. So, I'll use it to bring back my Ice Swordsman* (1900/300) in attack mode!" Another warrior appeared on the field. This one wore blue-black armor that was incredibly hard. He held a blue longsword that was covered almost completely by mist.
"Next, I'll activate the spell card, Polymerization!" He placed the card on the disk, appearing on the field. A large, swirling portal sucked in both swordsmen. Then, a new monster came out. This one was also a swordsman, but he looked a bit bigger, and more muscled than the others. He also wore dark green armor, and was wielding a standard katana. There was a fierce wind that started blowing the moment he appeared. "Meet my Storm Swordsman*!" (2800/2500) He placed another card on the disk. This one was a monster. "I summon Silent Insect (200/300) in defense mode! As long as he's up on the field, the effects of all continous magic and trap cards are negated!"
A light hit all three of the Dark Signer's cards and turned them to stone. Rick was glad, still trembling, but sure of his victory. Matsu and Kira, however, were extremely worried now. They looked at the Dark Signer's face, which showed absolutely no concern for his life points or monsters. They knew that he had something planned, and were sure that they would see it now.
(2000-1000)
"Now, Storm Swordsman*, attack his Birdman!" The warrior leaped out and swung at the birdlike creature. However, his attack was halted just as it was about to connect.
"I activate the quick spell, Mirage Tube. When a monster on my side of the field is selected as an attack target, I can activate this card. It deals 1000 points of damage to my opponent's life points." he explained. Rick was stunned. The birdman flapped his wings and released another powerful gust of wind. This time, it knocked him back and his life points went down to zero.
It was now that Kira and Matsu found out what the man was planning. They knew it had to do something with his face-down card, and unfortunately, they were right. Rick had lost the duel, and his soul.
(2000-0)
The flames dispersed and the monsters disappeared. Kira and Matsu rushed to help him, only to find him slowly disappearing. "Rick! You almost had him! If only-!" Matsu was cut off by Rick. "Thanks guys. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have made it that far. Still, I lost, so want you guys to promise me that you'll defeat this guy." It was then that he was completely gone, and a light flew up into the air, gone from sight.
"Damn it. We'll get you for this!" said Kira.
The man stepped forward, a smile on his face as he basked in his victory. "That's one servant down. Three more to go."
Kira took a step forward. "What do you mean 'servant'?" he asked. The man thought it be best to answer his question seeing how he was going to defeat them anyway. Still, as much as he would have liked to defeat three servants in a row, and as much as they would have loved to get answers, this was all put on hold. A trail of red flame appeared, a ghostly face could be seen on it, and it separated Matsu and Kira from the Dark Signer. As they looked around to find the cause of it, they saw a Duel Runner heading their way.
The rider placed a card on his Duel Disk, causing a large bird creature with a skull head to appear. The bird swooped down and grabbed them, leaving the Dark Signer behind the wall of flame. The duelist stopped in front of the Dark Signer. "That will be the last servant that you guys capture. I'll make sure of it, Rudger." said the masked duelist. "I'll get them. Sooner or later, all of you are going to fall. And if you keep interfering, I'll make sure that the last Servant that I take down is you!"
The masked duelist simply turned his head and drove away from him. Once he was out of Rudger's sight, the flames were put out.
Rudger looked out in the direction that the masked duelist went. "You can run, but you can't hide. Next time we meet, you shall feel the terror of the Earthbound Immortals!" he said.
Matsu and Kira were trapped in the bird's powerful grip. They couldn't get loose and escape, and even if they did, they were too high up to survive. Based on what they had seen, whoever did this to them was a psychic duelist. Whether or not he was with them, was yet to be discovered. They wondered where this monster was taking them, only to find that they were flying over a forest area. It had almost no fog, and they saw a small house that seemed to be in use. They saw that there was a helicopter from Security outside the house, and Matsu assumed that this was where Yusei and his friends were staying.
The large bird flew past the house, landing a few yards away from it. It let them go, and then disappeared. Matsu and Kira were confused, but decided to head back to the house that they had just passed.
Inside the house, they were all busy doing their own things. Rua and Ruka were talking with all the other kids, Ushio was helping everyone clean up around the house and cook, Jack and Crow were in a separate room, talking to Yusei about what had happened. Meanwhile, Aki and Mina waited for something to happen.
A loud knocking was heard on the door. Most of them stopped to turn towards the door, while Aki decided to open it. She was surprised to see a couple of teenagers standing in front of her, both of them covered with injuries. Most of the people inside were quiet, unsure of what they should do. It wasn't until Jack came out a few moments later that they were allowed to enter. "I thought you guys had gotten caught by now." he told them.
"We managed to escape." explained Matsu, who was sitting down next to Kira in the Kitchen. Aki was also there, wanting to know more about these people. Also in the room, was Rua and Ruka, as well as Mina. Jack had already explained to the others that these two were the ones who had sent that distress call. He and Yusei had met up with them and learned about what happened to them, as well as explained to them what else was happening in Satellite.
"So, what happened to you after we got separated?" asked Jack.
"Kira got into a duel with one of those Dark Signers. Then, for some reason, the buildings around us started crumbling and we had to escape. When we did, we found another survivor." he explained.
Jack looked at the two. "Then, where is he?"
"Unfortunately, we didn't get to him in time. He went up against a Dark Signer, and lost. We would have probably had to go up against him too, but some strange Turbo Duelist saved us and brought us here. We don't know where he went though..."
Now, it was Kira's turn to talk. "You know, I've been wondering one thing since we dueled those guys...Why do they keep calling us 'Servants'?" Everyone was unsure of what they meant, everyone except Mina. They looked at her. It was too obvious that she was hiding something with her shocked expression. "What do you know about this?" Jack asked her.
Feeling like she couldn't hide it anymore, she decided to tell them the truth.
"Godwin said that all of the Signers had a servant, someone who was supposed to help them while they fought the Dark Signers. We were unsure as to how they were supposed to help them, but we still tried to find them. We did a long and exhaustive search, but found nothing. After a while, we gave up on the search, and Godwin said that perhaps the records might have been mistaken. Even then, Godwin thought that they never looked hard enough, and told me that the servants might still be out there. My guess is, that you guys are the servants, and that's probably why you are still here. That's probably why you guys survived being swallowed up by the fog." she explained.
"If that's true, then how are we supposed to know what we have to do? I mean, you said we have to help them, but how do we do that?" asked Kira. At that moment, Matsu thought of something important. "Does that mean, that everyone who survived this is a Servant?"
Mina nodded yes. "What happens when one of us loses a duel before we meet the Signer that we are supposed to help?" he asked her.
"I don't really know what you mean. You are all supposed to meet the Signers."
"Well," replied Matsu. "that's not how it's happening. One of the survivors that we met was also a Servant, and he was defeated in a duel just before we got here!"
Mina was speechless. Things were already going wrong, and she had no idea what to do or say to fix it. Kira stood up. "Let's forget about it for now. Is there any place that we can rest in?" he asked them. Mina nodded, and directed them to a room upstairs. They decided to get a bit of sleep, as well as give themselves some time to let their wounds heal.
Downstairs, the others were discussing what had just happened. Aki was the one who did not trust them. "...they could be with the Dark Signers for all we know. How else could they survive a duel against a Dark Signer?"
"They told us that all of the Dark Signers that they fought had the same glowing birthmark in the shape of a spider. So, we can safely assume that they haven't been dueling actual Dark Signers, rather, people that were under the influence of the Dark Signers. After all, they said that these duelists had no monsters that even resembled anything like the one that Kiryu had summoned." responded Jack.
Aki didn't want to admit it, but he made some sense. 'I guess...maybe they aren't so bad...Maybe, they could help us out.' she thought. She was still a bit skeptical, but she would be a bit more open to what they say. Besides, those guys were pretty banged up, and if they were with the Dark Signers, their birthmarks would probably glow and inform them.
The sounds of a motor was heard, and they headed outside to find two Duel Runners with no riders. Yusei recognized them immedeately. "Those are...the ones that Matsu and Kira were riding. How did they get here?"
Another Duel Runner appeared, this one had a rider. Yet, the rider was the same man that had brought Matsu and Kira to safety. Do you guys mind...If I talk to Aki? Privately." The others had no idea what to say, but knew that they should probably keep quiet. It wasn't their place, after all, to tell Aki what to do.
"Why do you wish to talk to me?" she asked him.
His response was a silent one, yet it said what it needed to say. He placed a spell card on his Duel Disk. It was Sword of the Soul Eater. The black sword appeared on the ground, and he picked it up. "This is why."
She was surprised to see this. This man was a psychic duelist. She wanted to learn more about him, and why he wanted to talk to her. "Alright."
Their conversation took place behind the house, so that there wouldn't be too many people listening in. Although they knew that most of the others were around, spying on them. To begin with their conversation, the man took off his mask and cloak. He was a young man, about nineteen years of age, with short silver hair. He was wearing a white shirt, and dark blue jeans, with brown mountain boots.
"My name is Zeke. I was with the Arcadia Movement. Of course, I quit that many years back."
"Then why are you here?"
"I found out I was one of the Servants. So, I learned what I had to do. I had to come here and help out the others. The Dark Signers are after us because we are supposed to help you guys out. How we do that, however, is something we have to learn ourselves."
"Then why do you wish to talk to me?"
"I wish to tell you something. You see, you have extraordinary powers. But Divine knows this too. He's going to come back for you, and he only uses people. I wish that you realize this before it was too late. Like I did."
"You mean, Divine is still alive?"
"Not now...but you'll see him again. This is something that I know well."
"I would like to know something. Why do you care so much about all this? About Me?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe its because I regret what I did while I worked for Divine. Maybe its because I care about you and don't want to see you get hurt anymore. Maybe, I'm just looking out for you...Maybe, its fate, and I am supposed to do this, regardless of how I feel.
"Anyway, I have to go. I'll see you later."
"Wait!" Aki said, trying to follow him as he ran back to his Duel Runner. The others had already gone back inside, hoping that neither of them had noticed that they were there.
Zeke mounted his Duel Runner, and disappeared in a few seconds. Aki was unable to pursue him and went back inside. She looked at the others, who were acting like they had been inside this whole time and pretended to be busy with their own things. She went to her room, and spoke to no one else during that night.
The day finally came, and Matsu and Kira woke up early. They had sleep very little during the night. They had spent too much time thinking about what had happened to them, what was going on, what they had to do, and how they had to do it. It was a bit much for them to take in, but they guessed that the others probably had it worse. Still, things weren't that easy for them either. They had spent the last couple of days being chased by strange people, beaten down in these weird duels that not only inflicted real damage on them, but would also cost them their life should they lose.
They felt that they had to do something, but were unsure of what it should be.
"What do we have to do? I mean, there's no way that we can beat the Dark Signers, but its not like we have any other option."
"I agree." said Kira.
"Hm...The Signers seem to be struggling with their own things...I wonder what's going on with them."
"Does it really matter?"
"Of course it does! Kira, if only we knew why they are here, maybe we could figure out why we are here. I mean, they aren't here because of fate. Fate may have brought them here, but it doesn't give them a reason to fight. I think that that is what we have to do. Fate brought us here, but its up to us to find out why we are fighting. We beat those other guys, but we were just trying to survive and get answers. We got them, so what's left? That can't be all. I just refuse to believe that this is the only reason why we are here."
Kira knew he was making sense. There must have been a reason. Then he had a thought. "Wait, but its only us two. There's three people missing from the group. I mean, there's that guy that we met, Rick, who lost that duel. And what about the guy who saved us? Its possible that he's one of us too. Let's not forget that we are still missing someone."
This time, Matsu was the one who was forced to admit that Kira was right. They were still missing part of their group. And Rick had lost a duel, so if he was one of them, he wouldn't be able to help them out. Still, that only left the guys who had saved them and someone else that they did not know. "What do you say? Want to go find the rest? We should start with the guy who helped us. If we find him, it'll be easier to find the last one of our group. As long as he hasn't been defeated yet."
"Alright then. Let's go search for him."
They both grabbed their Duel Disks and ran outside, careful not to make any noise. Little did they know, that they were being watched by Rua and Ruka. The twins did not dare to follow them as they left the house, but were still worried enough to tell the others about what they heard.
Matsu and Kira found out that their Duel Runners were right outside. "I guess that the guy did more than just bring us here." said Kira with a smirk. They mounted their Duel Runners, headed to the spot where they first met the masked duelist. They drove as fast as they possibly could. Within a few hours, they were already close to Kira's hideout. They still had a long way to go, however.
"Who do you think that guy was?" asked Matsu.
"I don't know. But he helped us, so I'm sure that he was on our side. Strange thing is, he's a psychic duelist, and he's all the way out here in Satellite. I wonder why..."
"It doesn't matter. Not right now anyway. First, we have to find him, and then we can figure things out!"
They revved the motorcycles and began to go faster. They really wanted to unite the whole group. Or at the very least, find this guy. Whoever he was, he obviously had something to do with them, and they weren't going to let their only lead go like this.
Meanwhile, back at the house, everyone was gathered around Rua and Ruka. "It's true! They felt like they had nothing to do here, like they had no idea what they were doing here in the first place. So...they left, and we don't know where they are!" explained Ruka. "You should have stopped them!" said Jack. "It doesn't matter. We have to go after them. The Dark Signers are hunting them down, and they need some help." Yusei said. Jack and Yusei mounted their Duel Runners and got a head start, while Ushio and Mina started the car and left a few minutes after Jack. Yusei was very determined to get to those two. If the Dark Signers were still after them, then it was a bad idea to let them go at it alone.
End of Chapter 3.
