Calick's Son's Quest

Calendra landed the plane in Las Vegas where they were met by an ambulance. Joey, Tristen, Tèa, and Atemu went into the ambulance with Calendra and the blood. The EMTS were give orders to use lights and sirens to get the blood to the hospital as soon as possible. When they got there, the doctors were waiting and took the blood upstairs while a nurse directed them to a room that Yuedren and Rawdren was waiting. The doctors were reading the note from Mara in Domino. It read:

The blood marked SB should be given first. It is the most compatible blood we were given. The rest has traces of being silver blood, but are not full silver blood. I am afraid that you will need to give me information on what chemical that caused the problem in the first place or a blood sample for me to identify it. He will need to be treated for his silver blood not turning silver. Please keep me updated for my caseload here does not allow me to travel.

Mara

The doctors did what Mara had advise them and in the room with Yuedren and Rawdren, Yuedren and Rawdren was telling everyone how Yuedren got away from his capturers. "I see. You two are probably the best at working together. Then how'd you meet?" Calendra asked.

"I'm capable of answering that. I lived with my grandparents and whenever it drives me nuts, I leave to explore Las Vegas," said Rawdren pausing to catch his breath. "One time, I saw this building and there was these two men arguing in front of it. I hide a stone throws away from the duo and boy, did I learn a lot that probably was trying to be hidden. There was talk about a boy they had kidnapped and what they were going to do. It sounded like they had the boy for a few years and what was completely weird was that they were arguing whether or not they should keep the boy alive. One said they should because bigger trouble would come if they didn't keep him alive. 'Cause I overheard that and told that when the police asked my part in freeing Yuedren, they still are in the same hot water that they would've been if they killed him. Them arguing allowed me learn about Yuedren's location and we began planning an escape. It took me two years to get everything. Another thing, Yuedren's capturers called Yugi the chosen one. Does that say anything?"

"It does. The Legend of Domino tells of somethin' about the chosen one always being chased with life in jeopardy. Course, they have made it clear that Yugi being the chosen one has a problem with their life," said Calendra.

"The Legend of Domino?" said Tèa.

"The police do know everything Rawdren witness and should be able to put those bad guys behind bars. About the Legend, it's sort of important only when the Solic Traveler returns and there's a chosen one. It's a prophecy more than a legend," said Yuedren.

"I believe I need to mention something else. They, the police, asked me why I didn't report my discover of Yuedren when I found him and my reply has allowed me to receive a restraining order against my grandparents. My grandparents have made threats against me that if I associate with any of the Sharks and since Yuedren was Yamisite's son then I didn't say," said Rawdren.

"Interesting. I think it is best for you to stay with us. We should wait around, here," said Calendra.


Seto Kaiba was at his mansion and Mokaba was watching a Duel Monsters tournament at the Kaiba Dome. The tournament was being held to raise money for the expenses that Seto's rival, Yugi, had due to medical expenses. Seto Kaiba learned that blood was being needed to sent to Las Vegas for the doctors in Domino did not have high hopes that Yugi would stop bleeding. Seto didn't go due to work which he was doing from the mansion. Then a guard came. "Mr. Kaiba, someone has ent…" said the guard as he fell bleeding to the ground to reveal a man.

The man came at Seto and Seto dodge to pick up the only weapon that he could think of, the chair he was sitting on. Seto used the chair to keep the man at bay and then jabbed the chair into the man causing the man to drop his weapon, a dagger. Seto dropped the chair and grabbed the dagger. The man recoverd and was about to get up when he was faced with his own dagger. "Please don't kill me," whimpered the man.

"I will see what I want to do. Answer my question! Why did you attack me!" bellowed Seto.

"You're his son and only one that can help the chosen one rid his body of the poison in him," replied the man.

"I not going to let you leave. You can just rot in jail," said Seto.

The man then tried to take the dagger away from Seto, but Seto fought hard to keep it and ended up having to kill the man to end the half hour struggle. He called the police and asked for Arrowcot. Arrowcot came in less than an hour with his trusted team of officers that had the power to do cases involving people needing protection. Arrowcot took the dagger out of the man and one of the investigators took it and tested it right there for chemicals. The man looked grim and whispered something into Arrowcot's ear. "It was a good thing you didn't get a slash on you. The dagger has the same unknown chemical that the knife used on Yugi in Las Vegas. You are being target for who your biological father is. Please tell me about how this happen," said Arrowcot.

Seto went into great detail about how the man said why he was attacking Seto. Arrowcot's eyes bugged out in horror what Seto told him. "Then we know what is going on here," said an investigator.

"We quite do. You will need to be very careful from now on. It seems that who we are up against has discovered who all of the Sharks are as well as their surnames. White Hawk is in danger. I will try to find someway to protect you without giving hints to everyone else. I'm aware that your brother has not been attacked meaning that there's a slight possibility that he's not known as your biological brother or they don't see him as danger like you are to them. I will be going and making sure this incident is ordered to be private and not known by the public. I'll have to tell Yamisite about this attack as well as the other Sharks, but I feel they will know not to show that anything is wrong. Looks like the investigators are all ready to go. It will be noted that you defended yourself against death. I leave the choice of telling your brother what happen here up to you," said Arrowcot as he and his investigators leave with the bodies in two body bags.

After they were gone, the only trace of the struggle was the chair. Seto replaced the chair at his desk and then went online to find the Sharks web. He read what it said about Calick and it became clear why the man had said what was said. Then a terrible headache overcame Seto. He closed his eyes to concentrate on enduring the pain, but then a memory came to him and the headache subsided as the memory became clearer. He opened his eye and then took out a pen. He wrote a note for Mokaba, got off-line, and then placed the note on the table near the front door before leaving. Seto figured that jumping off the wall of the mansion would be better since where he was going was a place that he did not want people to associate him with.

Seto had made his way through a forest and then he found a house, the house that he remembered. He went into it and discovered he found himself in a place that he remembered as his home before going to the orphanage. Seto explored the house and found himself in a study. The study had shelves of hand bound books and a desk before a window. The desk was covered in papers and then a letter was on the desk. The letter was not at all faded and was fairly readable. As Seto read it, more memories that he had forgotten came back. Then he remembered how his father looked like and he remembered that his father's picture was on the Sharks' website. Seto came up with an ideal how to help Yugi. He pulled down one of the books from the shelves and started to read it. He then took down another book and started to read it. It grew into an obsession.


Mokaba had arrived back from the Duel Monsters tournament to find the note from his brother. His brother stated in the note not to go looking for him and that he would be back before tomorrow night. Mokaba found this unusual, but decided to go along with the note.


Yugi was sitting in his hospital bed eating while everyone around him watched with amazement of how much Yugi was eating. It was then that Pegasus came in with a grim look upon his face. "Yamisite has informed me that there has been an attack upon Calick's son, but he still won't tell his name saying that he needs to do that on his own will. Yamisite is thinking about coming here and revealing all of the Sharks. He has Sarget and Cardagan at the mansion since it is the only safe place," said Pegasus.

"Oh great, another thing to worry about. Whoever is after us wants all of us out of the picture. If they know Calick's son's place, then they could possible know that you are the White Hawk, Maximillion," said Calendra with concern.

"That's what I am worried about. It could become very bad news for business," said Pegasus.

"That probably means will we will have to find somewhere to hide in Las Vegas," said Yuedren.

"I forgot Yamisite said that the man that attacked Calick's boy said he was attacking him because he could help the chosen one rid his body of the poison in it," said Pegasus.

"Ah yes, I remember the Legend of Domino, that tablet the Solic Traveler, carved only the parts that he could read and not his servants. Yugi, can you still read those parts that only you can read?" question Yuedren.

Yugi stopped eating to glare at Yuedren. "Yes, but I have not been to it since you've been gone," replied Yugi before starting to eat again.

"Why didn't you even say that before now?" asked Calendra.

Yugi paused in eatting. "I don't remember why," said Yugi before continuing to eat again.

"We've been here a lot about this tablet, but what is it?" asked Joey.

"When the Solic Traveler returned to Egypt, he wrote the Legend of Domino. How and why are not known to any of the Sharks. The Legend was not given to the Sharks until the Solic Traveler's disappearance from his kingdom. It was given by a maiden that married the first Triscorn. The maiden was the daughter of the first Dragon Queen. The Dragon Queen had also disappeared just like her husband, the Solic Traveler. No one knows where she is," said Calendra.

Yugi put his fork down realizing that he would not get any peace in while eating. "I believe I do. She came to protect me, but she is just a spirit. She said something about Calick probably knowing what to do for me or another person named Tishera could do the same thing," said Yugi.

"Hmm… I just don't know. I've never heard of the name Tishera, but before we left Domino, Mara said that if he didn't find one of the known chemicals in your blood, he would need to go through Calick's books, but even then…," said Calendra depressingly.

"There's a chance that he would not find anything?" said Tèa.

"You are right. As long as the chemical is not removed, movement means the lost of blood. Any one who has silver blood has weaken capillaries. Under normal conditions, the silver blood would be able to strengthen the capitularies, but as long as silver blood is delayed, blood is able to brake out, but enough escapes before the silver blood reacts. Capillaries have the most tendency to brake if movement occurs. Yuedren, show how silver blood normally works," said Calendra.

Calendra handed Yuedren a knife. Yuedren took the knife a cut his finger tip. His red blood started to come out, but in a second it turned silver and the cut was no longer there. "The stuff that allows our blood to turn silver is on the lining of our vessels. That stuff that lines our vessels also how our blood strengthen our vessels. The stuff can't line blood vessels when certain chemicals are present," said Yuedren.

"So that is the reality," said Joey.

"Quite so," replied Calendra.


Seto Kaiba had spent most of the night reading Calick's book and drinking coffee made from stale ground coffee beans. He had discovered that he remembered most of what he read and through out all of the books, he saw nothing about what to do about the condition Yugi was in. He decided there was nothing else that he wanted to see and Mokaba was probably worrying about where he is. That was how he decided to return to his mansion.

Mokaba had been waiting for his brother and worried when Yamisite came by wanting to talk to his brother. Mokaba let Yamisite in and had the servants to get the pair something to drink. After both had their drinks, they started to talk. "Why do you want to talk to my brother?" asked Mokaba.

"The matters that I am to talk to him about concern matters that probably should not be known by you, but your brother can tell you at his own will. Our Shark code is not to let lose on matters concerning the Sharks. Especially now that there appears to be someone who knows all of the Sharks," said Yamisite.

It was at that moment that Seto Kaiba came in looking tired. He took the couch that was across from Yamisite. He knew full well why the leader of the Sharks was at his home. "Mokaba, I've never bother to ask before, but times demands it. What do you remember about the time before the orphanage?"

Mokaba took some time before answering his brother while Yamisite glance at Seto. "I only remember some relatives from our mother's side of the family dropping us off at the orphanage, but no memories of either of our parents. Why now, bro?" asked Mokaba.

"Our real father's ties have lead a man trying to kill me to this mansion yesterday. It was only after the attack that I researched the reason why the man wanted to kill me to bring forth all of my memories that I had pushed away. I went back to our father's place and that was were I was until recently. Reading to find anything that would aid someone, that's the why they want me dead, Mokaba. I even called the orphanage that we were at and verified those old memories. It does appear to be that our father is the one of the Sharks," said Seto.

"I never expected that you would remember without me badgering you, but Calick did not leave word of how you should be found if you were not in our hands before your mother's relatives," said Yamisite.

At that moment, Arrowcot came rushing in. He looked like he was disturbed by something that he would tell them about. "Yamisite, a group of ruffians were caught with the casket of Calick at the gate of the cemetery early this morning! When booked, it turned out that they are part of the group that had captured your sons and it appears from the evidence that they knew that they needed to burn Calick's body and make it impossible, for what their group fears, his resurrection. I had officers check the casket, but there was no body," said Arrowcot.

"Just what I need. There always seems to be some problem," said Yamisite.

Seto took out a piece of paper and then handed it to Yamisite as he started to talk. "I found this in one of my father's books. I don't know what it reads or anything like that."

"You wouldn't. This is a form of hieroglyphics that were rarely used in Egypt and only those who become Sharks learn it, but there are exceptions. I will read it. 'I've sign my death with Gozaburo by putting out leads. I know this is dangerous, but I have things plan for me to return to life just the same as a phoenix. I will drink a concoction to ensure it. I will sacrifice myself to make Gozaburo's hands unclean and make people take away what he won through cheating. His company will fall like him.' That is all it said," replied Yamisite. "This shows what Calick was planning. We said he could allow the police to take over once it got too dangerous."

Seto thought about what Yamisite said. "I feel he wouldn't have allowed you to persuade him any other way," said Seto.

"Quite true. I think I will release these developments. I heard that you are going to Las Vegas to lift the lid off the Sharks," said Arrowcot.

"You're right. That is why I came here. I am wondering if you want to reveal yourself," said Yamisite.

"I just don't feel ready for it," replied Seto.

"I understand. I believe it would be easier for you if Calick was still here," said Yamisite. He got up from his seat and walked towards Arrowcot, but stops. "You can reveal yourself as Sabageist to only the Sharks inter-circle if that is what you want."

"I'll get back to you on that," said Seto.

Yamisite and Arrowcot left the two brothers behind. Mokaba looked at his brother. He really didn't know what to think. "I believe you should reveal yourself to the Sharks," said Mokaba.

"I feel like a failure. I could not find a thing that could help Yugi, Mokaba," said Seto.

An uncomfortable silence develop and Mokaba decided to leave his brother alone to think. It was at dinner that Seto offered Mokaba to go to their father's home so he could search for more books of Calick. Mokaba agreed to this.


Mokaba and Seto had arrived at their father's home and Mokaba was off exploring while Seto went to another room full of books. As Seto thumb through the books, he found what his father had done before his death. Then there were words in the margin of the page it was on. Seto read them aloud to himself and then he felt this strange feeling. He placed down the book, open, on a chair and went to the front door. He opened the door and the wind had picked up, but the wind was unusual. There was dust in the wind and a ghostly figure was coming towards the door. Seto was shocked that what he didn't believe was coming towards him, but then his shock subsided as the wind surrounded the ghostly figure with the dust it had picked up. As the figure came closer, it became apparent to Seto it was a human. The figure was a man with similar features to Seto. Once the man was stopped in front of Seto, he was the first to talk. "Do you remember me, my son?"

Tears started to run down Seto's face for he knew who the man was. It was Calick. "I do! But the situation I'm in with… I could never stop punishing myself," said Seto tearfully.

"Do you know Mart's first name now?"

Seto stopped crying and stood with face held high. "I do. It is Yugi, my rival, but I've have not seen him since I remembered my childhood. I want to help him for an unknown chemical is wrecking havoc on his body," replied Seto.

"I do have ways to make unknown chemical's effect on silver blood less of a burden. Where's Mokaba? I would like to hear your stories of how you have done before I can do anything about Yugi," said Calick.


That is the end of the chapter. You will find Seto was varying off course from his usual habits in the anime. Speaking of which, I find the anime a better starting point than the manga just because of Pegasus's situation in the anime. The difference between manga and anime will be discussed when necessary. One thing that manga has that the anime doesn't is violence. The manga has had several incidents where fights are dipicted or some beat up. In the manga, Pegasus is dead and that is why the anime is better on that stance to be base off. The anime is the only one that I know for sure how the ending plays out. Chapter Preview: Calick reacts to his sons' lives since his suppose death and makes up some herbal medicine for Yugi. Another character will be introduce. Note this character appears in the manga, but not named. The hospital releases Yugi, but with a nurse. Pegasus and his father agrees to have Yugi and friends stay in with them. Calendra goes back with Pegasus's father. Then someone finds Atemu and will not stop pestering him until he remembers who this someone is. That and much more in the next chapter called The Shadow Scribe. Read and review.
