Chapter 4: Recalling the Past

Ryan's POV

With Rio back at home it was a blast. It was like things were back to normal before the accident with Thomas aka Quattro. There were just a few changes. First there was registering Rio for school. Luckily for us we lived next to the legal guardians of Shark and Rio for them to sign the registration papers for her. After we were left alone after the accident, Shark and Rio were to live with their legal guardians and I was left to go back to the orphanage. Not wanting me to be alone, Shark and Rio refused to live with them if I was to go back. However their guardians understood and got us all a house right next to theirs. The next thing to do was to go to receive Rio's school uniform at the school. When she was finally done she stepped out of the dressing room showing off her uniform.

"Well green isn't really my color, but what do you think guys?" she said doing a little spin showing off her uniform.

"You look great Rio." I said with my cheeks feeling a little warm.

"Yeah, great." Shark said looking away not as glad as I was with Rio coming to school with us.

"Thanks Ryan." She said with a beaming smile as I smiled back. "And thank you too Reginald." She said looking at Shark not impressed with his enthusiasm. With Rio ready to come to school the next day, we all then returned home. We were all sitting at the dinner table with the dinner Rio provided us since she was the cook when she finally spoke up. "So what have you two been doing since I was asleep, did one of you win the tournament like we promised?" she asked as we stopped eating as Shark and I looked at each other before Shark nodded and I spoke up.

"In truth Rio, we did try our best in the tournament we really did but we ran into a little problem." I said looking down at my food.

"Well, what happened?" Rio asked as it was Shark's turn to speak up.

"Ryan got eliminated in the semifinals while I made it, but I got disqualified for cheating." Shark said as Rio then slammed her hand on the table.

"What? What do you mean you got disqualified for cheating?" She asked as she was furious.

"But Rio it wasn't intentional, Shark didn't even know it was the deck of his opponent." I said trying to calm her down.

"And who was his opponent in the duel?" She said as I looked at Shark as he nodded as I then pulled out a card from my pocket.

"Rio, you should take this card, all the answers are in it." I said as I handed Rio the card.

"What, what am I supposed to see?" she asked as the card then glowed as her eyes then went blank for a while as they then went normal as she gasped. "Quattro… what…. Why?" she said as she looked at us. "I remember, Quattro and I had a duel and then there was a fiery accident but why am I remembering this now?" she said.

"Because Quattro wanted to cover his attack on us since he had a reputation." I said as she looked at me. "He was also the one behind Shark's disqualification from the tournament." She then gasped.

"But why, why would Quattro do that?" she asked as it was Shark's turn again.

"He was doing that all for his father." Shark said as Rio then looked confused.

"His father?" Rio asked.

"His father was betrayed by Dr. Faker, so he thought by using me with his power I could be his pawn." Shark said as Rio was surprised.

"Dr. Faker, as in the guy who created Heartland?" Rio asked as I nodded.

"The same one." I said. "He was also the one responsible for my parents disappearance." I said as Rio gasped.

"What he was the one?" Rio said as I nodded.

"My parents only wanted to stop him from doing something awful. But they got caught in the middle of it and disappeared." I said as I then held up my pendent. "He also told me that this pendent also belonged to my mother." I said as Rio gasped.

"But if that's true how did it end up in the small shop where I got the rings." She said as she also looked at her ring.

'He disguised himself as a shop salesmen and gave it to you hoping you would pass it on to me." I said as Rio understood now.

"So what else have you two been up to, besides getting into trouble?" She said as Shark and I chuckled nervously. We then told her about everything else, Yuma, Astral the numbers, Kite and the World Duel Carnival. We did come clean about Shark's bulling behavior but he said that thanks to me and Yuma he's changed. "Well the important thing is that the three of us our back together." She said as both Shark and I nodded.

"And with the three of us back together again, I have a feeling things are going to be back to normal as well." I said as my brother and sister smiled. Things were looking brighter than ever.
