Hi everyone Rosestar48 here! In this chapter we'll started the Dark Signer arc and will be visited the Arcadia Movement. So lets begin.
Darkness Arrives
After the duel, Daisuke then realize "Guy! We have to move it!" Everyone looked at her "Why? What's wrong?" Rua asked. "I'm getting a real bad feeling right now. At any rate we need to get Yusei out of here before the Media gets him!" Daisuke said. "You right!" Yanagi said. "Well let's get Yusei and go! We'll hide at Saiga's, Daisuke could you meet us there?" Jin asked. "You got it!" she replied "Alright then, it is where Yusei fixed your runner" Jin said Daisuke nodded and quickly ran out of the stands. Daisuke got to her Duel Runner and sped out of the Stadium. After they got far away from the stadium "So Dai what going on?" Veemon asked. "I wish I know, but maybe Yanagi might have some ideas, well about the Birthmark and the Crimson Dragon" Daisuke said. Veemon then asked "Are you sure?" She answers "Well the only ones who know what the Crimson Dragon is him or Godwin, and I don't really trust Godwin right now" Veemon then thought about Godwin and saw her point.
A little while later they arrive at Saiga's place, and went inside. There they saw Yusei waited for them, "Yusei" Daisuke said. "I thought I'll show you where we are" Yusei said. They went into the elevator, when it stopped they got off and Yusei guided her to where the others were. As they enter the room "Ah, Daisuke!" Rua yelled out. "You're okay!" Ruka said. Daisuke smiled. She then saw Yanagi drawing something, "What is he doing?" Daisuke asked. "Yanagi is drawing something he remembers seeing during his travels." Ruka anwers. "It has been awhile since I've seen this, you know. My memory's kinda of vague, but it was something' like this" Yanagi said as he finishes his drawing. Everyone looked at the sketches of the Crimson Dragon curled up "That tail-!" Yusei said. "Yusei, what's wrong?" Rua asked. Yusei then off his glove and rolled up sleeve to reveal his birthmark. "Ruka, what about yours?" Rua asked. Ruka pulled down her sleeve to show her birthmark, "Ruka's got a part of its hand" Rua notices. . "Daisuke?" Yanagi asked as she rolled up her jacket's sleeve to reveal her birthmark. "Daisuke's got parts of its wings" Rua notice again. He then wonders "What does it all mean?" Yanagi started to explain "According to the legend that I've heard of the People of the Stars, the head, two wings, hands, legs and tail, of the Crimson Dragon, each of its parts, were all broken up and sealed into people called Signer as birthmarks." Jin then pointed out "Wait. The only Signers we know of so far are Yusei, Ruka, Jack, Aki and Daisuke-the five of them. But, for that crimson dragon to show up like that..." Yanagi continues "The sixth one might've been somewhere around there" Daisuke then thinks "But if that true, then why wasn't the sixth Signer there when we saw that vision from the Crimson Dragon?" She broken out of thought when she heard Yanagi yelled "Whoa, there!" And Daisuke saw him holding Ruka, who look like she passed out. Everyone rushed over "Ruka, what's the matter?" Rua asked. She immediately wakes up and insists "I'm fine, just a little tired" Jin said "It's no surpise, I suppose. Too many crazy things have happened over the last two days, after all." Daisuke,Ruka and Yusei looked at the picture of the Crimson Dragon one more time. "Well guys, I think I'll heading home now" Daisuke said. "Are you sure you'll be okay?" Ruka asked. Daisuke smiled "Don't worry. I'll be fine. I'll see you guys later" and she leaves.
A little while later, Daisuke return back to her apartment. "Whoa, that was one interested legend we heard, huh Dai" Veemon said. "Yeah, your right Vee" Daisuke said. She then started to think "What's going to happen? And will the Digiworld be involved as well?" She then signs "What's wrong Dai?" Veemon asked. Daisuke turned to him "I've been getting a really bad feeling after hearing that legend" Veemon wonders "What do you you mean?" She replied "I'm not sure Vee. But one thing I do know, It looks like we'll be saving the world once again"
A few nights later, Daisuke woke up in the middle of the night and saw her birthmark was glowing. Veemon begins to sir due to the light emitting from the birthmark "What? Is it mourning already" he said sleepily. "Whoa! What's up with the light show!?" Veemon asked now wide awake. Daisuke thought "Yusei..." A little while later the birthmark stopped glowing. "Daisuke..." Veemon said worried. Daisuke didn't say anything and looked seriously at her birthmark.
The next day, Daisuke went back to her part-time job, "Ah Daisuke, welcome back" her boss greeted her. "Yeah" She greeted back. "Sorry to do this on your first day back, but can you do a delivery for me?" her boss asked. "Sure, I don't mind" She answers. "Thanks! You're a life saver! Just wait a minute while I go get it" He said. A Few minutes later "Here you go" He said as he passed the package to her. "So where am I suppose to be delivered too?"Daisuke asked. "Ah right. Let's see... Ah here we go! The delivery is for place called The Arcadia Movement" he answers. Daisuke gasped "The Arcadia Movement" Her boss then asked "Is everything alright?" Daisuke said "Yeah, everything is okay! Well I better go and get the package deliver!" She then hopped on her Runner and sped off.
A few hours later, Daisuke arrived at the Arcadia Movement and saw some familiar faces,"Huh? Rua? Ruka? Jin? Yanagi? What are you guys doing here!?" She asked. Everyone turns around "Daisuke what are you..?" Jin wonders. "I'm here to deliver this package to The Arcadia Movement" She answers. "Oh I see" Yanagi said. "Well we're here to see if we can get Aki to cooperate with us!" Rua said. "What do you mean?" Daisuke asked. "Rua thought that the entire Signers have to be together to defeat the Dark Signer" Ruka said. Daisuke got confused "Dark Signer?" Jin realizes "Oh that right! By then you'll would of have been back at your place already" But before anyone could tell her anything the doors to The Arcadia Movement open up. Everyone went inside and saw Aki and Divine standing in front of them. "Welcome to Arcadia Movement" Divine greeted them. Then both he and Aki saw Daisuke "Ah, Miss Motomiya, what a surprised." Divine said. Daisuke just said "I'm just here to deliver your order from the Tech shop" she then showed the package to them. "Ah yes, the parts we order, thank you" Divine said as he took the package. "I need your signature for the package" Daisuke explained. "Ah of course, but could wait a few minutes, I have some guest to get too" Divine said. He then looked at Ruka with a gleam in his eyes. "Aki, why don't you show Daisuke to your room? I'm sure you have a lot to talk about." He suggested to Aki. "Sure! Come on Dai let go!" She said as she guided Daisuke to her room.
A little while later they arrived to Aki's room. Daisuke looked around "Wow! So this is your room Aki?" She asked. "Yeah" Aki answers. "So Aki, What do you think?" Daisuke asked. "About what?" Aki asked "About what we saw during the finals of the Fortune Cup. Do you really think that was the future?" Daisuke said. But before Aki could answers "Aki could you please come to the Duel Area?" Divine called over the PDA. "Sorry Dai I have to go, but I'll be right back" She said. "Oh okay then" Daisuke said. Aki then leaves, after she left "Okay Veemon, you can come out now" Daisuke whisper. Veemon then popped out of her bag "Whew, finally some fresh air!" He said delighted. Daisuke chuckled "Oh Vee..."
A few hours later "Where is she? She said she'll be right back" Daisuke wonders where Aki was. Then all of a sudden, the room begain to shake "Whoa! What was that?!" Veemon asked. "I think we just had a earthquake" Daisuke said. She then got up "But I'm worried about the others, we should go a find them" Daisuke said. She then picks up Veemon and left Aki's room.
A little while later "Where is everyone?" Daisuke wonders as she looks around. She then heard "Divine? Where are you? Divine" She turns and sees Aki "Aki!" Daisuke yelled out. Hearing Daisuke yelling, Aki turned around "Daisuke?! What are you doing?" Daisuke said "When that quake happen I got worried about everyone, so I decided to go and check if they are okay" Aki smiled "You always do care about other before yourself. By the way, have you seen Divine anywhere?" But before Daisuke could answer "I am sorry, but I cannot let you go to Divine" Both then looked at the adjacent balcony hallway and saw a women with long black hair and wearing a two necklaces, an elegant dress of green, white and yellow and strap-on high heels. "You're...Misty?" Aki recognizes her. Daisuke got confused "Misty?" Misty the said "It is an honour that you know who I am. I am familiar with who you as well, Aki Izayoi. No, Black Rose Witch." Aki got confused by her tone of voice and Daisuke got worried. Misty then announces "You cannot escape from my revenge" Aki got confused and claims "What do you mean, revenge? What are you talking about?" Daisuke also got confused at what Misty had just said. "It's okay. I never expected you to speak the truth. Nothing he hears will make him come back now. But, I want you to apologize at the very least by going to where he is and doing so!" Aki stares back in shock and asks "Who are you?". Misty replies, "A Dark Signer". Daisuke gasped as she remembers hearing that name from the others earlier. "Dark Singer" Aki said unfamiliar with the term. Misty begins to make her way over to Akiza's and Daisuke's balcony, explaining "We are all destined to fight. By accepting that destiny, I gained the power of vengeance" She stops walking as she stands directly opposite Aki. She turns to face her and announces "The five-thousand year long seal has been unravelled" Her hair starts flowing back, as she says "All that is left is to fight until either your group or mine is eliminated!" Aki asked "What are you saying!?"
Misty holds out her arm, as her Mark of the Shadows appears. Purple light appears below her and engulfs her. Then both Aki's and Daisuke's birthmark began to glow "Is this?!" Aki said in surpised. When the light die down Misty's outfit had change into the black robe with green stripes,strap-on high heels, and a black and white dress. On her face are marks that resemble inverted wings. "Dark Signer..." Aki said. The all of a sudden another earthquake begins. "Another one?!" Daisuke yelled out as she grab the railings. When the quake settles down Daisuke whisper to Veemon "You're okay?" He answers "Yeah, I'm fine Dai" Then they heard Misty saying "I came here to crush the Arcadia Movement. You have no choice but to fight me" Aki said "Fine. I don't know what it is you have against me, but I shall face you, regardless" She the walks to the wall and a compartment open up and she collects her Duel Disk from it. "This is where I belong. If you say you want to get rid of it, I have to fight you" Aki explaining her reason. Both ladies ready their Duel Disks "Aki be careful" Daisuke whispered. Then both Aki and Misty shouted "DUEL!"
Aki started "My turn. I summon Twilight Rose Knight! (ATK:1000) Twilight Rose Knight's effect activates. When this card is summoned, I can Special Summon a level four or lower Plant-type monster from my hand. Appear now, Lord Poison! (ATK:1500) I'm tuning the level three Twilight Rose Knight to the level four Lord Poison! Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom. Synchro Summon! Appear now, 'Black Rose Dragon'!" (ATK:2400) Misty then mutters "Black Rose Dragon...Aki Izayoi, this is proof that you are a Signer. I don't know why my life was spared back then...But, whatever entered my body back then muttered from within me, telling me to kill the servant of the Crimson Dragon, Black Rose" Daisuke asked herself "What is she muttering about?" Aki continued "I place three cards face-down to end my turn." Veemon whisper "That a good start, right Dai?" But Daisuke just said "Don't be so sure, we have no idea what skills the Dark Signer has"
Misty said "My turn. I activate the Field Spell, Savage Colosseum, from my hand. As long as this card is in play, monsters in attack mode must attack and the player regains 300 Life Points for each monster that battled.I activate another card-a Continuous Spell! Field Barrier's effect disallows you from destroying a Field Spell or activated another one!" Veemon got confused "A spell card that protects a Field Spell!?" Daisuke said "There must be a reason for that" Misty continued "I summon Reptilianne Gorgon! (ATK:1400) Then, I activate the Equipment Spell, Attack Pheromones. When the monster equipped with this card attacks an opponent's monster, that monster's battle mode switches to attack mode. I equip this card to Reptilianne Gorgon! And I activate another Equipment Spell, Molting Escape, from my hand! Once per turn, this card can protect the equipped Reptile-type from destruction via battle and, when I use the effect, the equipped monster's attack power increase by 100 points. Reptilianne Gorgon, attack Black Rose Dragon!" Both Aki was surprised "Impossible! Attacking the 2400 attack power Black Rose Dragon with only 1400 attack power is suicidal!" Daisuke was also surprised about the attack as well. Misty shouted "Poison Glances! (MLP:3000) Molting Escape's effect allows a Reptile-type monster to escape destruction via battle once per turn, and increase its attack power by 100 points."(Reptilianne Gorgon ATK:1500) Daisuke started thinking "Why would she do that?" Misty then said "Now Black Rose Dragon is as good as sealed" Aki said in confusion "Sealed?" Daisuke was also confused, when all of a sudden Black Rose Dragon started turning to stone."Black Rose Dragon was turned to stone!" Aki said in shock. Daisuke was also in shock. Misty then explained "Due to Reptilianne Gorgon's effect, a monster that conducts battle with Reptilianne Gorgon has its attack power reduced to 0 and will be unable to change battle modes." Aki said "What did you say!?" (Black Rose Dragon ATK:0000) "This isn't good!" Veemon said. Daisuke agreed "You're right Vee, now Black Rose Dragon is vulnerable!" Misty then continued "The effect of the Field Spell, Savage Colosseum, activates! For each monster that has battled, the player regains 300 life points. (MLP:3300) Those who fight the Reptiless Gorgon will turn to stone and rot away. I wonder if you will be able to survive Aki Izayoi"
Aki stands her ground and vows "I'll protect it! Protect where I belong!" But Misty says "You will? Still, I wouldn't be so sure. Even Divine, who you revere, should be gone right about now!" Aki saw shocked "What?!" Both Daisuke and Veemon got shocked and confused "What does that mean?!" Misty then informs Aki "If you wish to save him, you must go after you defeat me. That's depending on if you can beat me, of course. Now Black Rose Witch, it's your turn" Aki then anxiously said "My turn!" Misty then reminds her "Your Black Rose Dragon has been turned to stone by my Reptilianne Gorgon's effect. Its attack power is 0, but as long as Savage Colosseum is on the field, monsters that are in attack mode must conduct an attack. Granted, since it has been turned to stone, it couldn't possibly move. So then, Reptilianne Gorgon sent Black Rose Dragon to its demise." (ALP:2500) The shatter pieces cut Aki's hand "This power is on par with that of Psychic Duelling!" Aki remarks. Misty assures her "Psychic Duelling comes nowhere close to it-the power of a Dark Signer" Daisuke whisper "The power of a Dark Signer?" Misty then asked "What's wrong? You seem so shocked. Is it so surprising that there is duelling more terrifying then that of Psychic Duelling?"
Misty then calls out "Now, display your powers to me, Black Rose Witch! Your magic that spreads fear amongst people!" Aki sighs and continues her turn "Due to Savage Colosseum's effect. I regain 300 Life Points for each monster that's battled (ALP:2800) My attack starts here. I activate a trap- Synchro Spirits! This card, by removing a Synchro Monster in the Graveyard from the game, Special Summon the monsters that were Materials in its Synchro Summoning. I remove Black Rose Dragon from the game, Special Summoning Twilight Rose Knight (ATK:1000) and Lord Poison (ATK:1500). Next, I activate a trap-Dimension Reversion. All monsters removed from the game return to the deck. Black Rose Dragon has now returned to my deck. " But Misty said "I have no qualms. No matter how many times you may summon Black Rose Dragon, I will simply destory it just as many" Aki then said "I then activate another Trap card, Urgent Tuning. This card can Synchro Summon one Synchro Monster during the Battle Phase" Veemon then said "Dai do you think...?" Daisuke smiled "Yeah Vee, I think so" Aki stated "I 'm tuning I'm tuning the level three Twilight Rose Knight to the level four Lord Poison! Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom. Synchro Summon! Appear now, 'Black Rose Dragon'! (ATK:2400) When Black Rose Dragon is successfully Synchro Summon, it will destroy all cards on the field" All cards apart from "Savage Colosseum", which was protected by Field Barrier were destroyed in a whirlwind of petals. Seeing that Aki destroyed Black Rose Dragon to take out her field, Misty says " You're willing enough to destroy your own Black Rose Dragon if it's to destroy my field? It feels so refreshing for you, the one they refer to as the 'Black Rose Witch', to struggle so hard to keep alive. But, even using Black Rose Dragon's effect, Field Barrier's effect will prevent the Savage Colosseum card from being destroyed"
Aki said "I don't know what it is you have against me, but I do know one thing for sure. You are making a serious pass at my life. Which means I must put up a serious fight as well!" Daisuke whisper "Aki..." Misty then argues "This is something you've always done through dueling. All you've ever done is repeatedly destroy under the pretext that ou're saving yourself. Caring not how many others are sacificed in the process. So, this time, it's your turn to experience the same despair you allotted to other" Aki asked "The same despair I've allotted?" Misty then said "Yes, the despair you allotted to my brother and me" Aki states "I don't know who your brother is!" Misty said "Yes, why should you? My brother's existence to you is a mere drop in the bucket. My brother was killed by you!" Aki freeze stiff and whisper back "What did you say?" Both Daisuke and Veemon gasped in shock.
Misty started to explains "My brother died when he went to see one of your duels in the Daimon Area" Aki denies "I don't know...I don't know who your brother is! There were no young boys at that Duel field!" Misty says "He admired you. He was still a child."Aki's eyes begin to tremble. Misty notes "You have a power- thet excels others, that rules others. It could have been used to save others as well!" Aki argues "But I don't have the power to save others!" She then Clenching her hand into a fist,explaining "All I have is an accursed power that will continue to haunt me." Misty then said "You are a fool. A foolish girl who only uses the power she's been bestowed for her own needs. If only you did not exist, then he would-! I will make you pay! I have revived to seek my revenge against you! Now it's your turn"
Aki said "I place a card face-down, which end my turn" Veemon said "What going on here!? Aki killed Misty's brother?" Daisuke said "I'm not sure really sure Vee, but I'm getting a feeling their is more the meets the eye" Misty said "It's my turn. I activate a Spell Card, Reptilianne Spawn, from my hand. This card removes a monster with Reptiless in its name in my Graveyard to Special Summon two Reptiless Tokens. And then, I release both Tokens...O God which resuscitated my life, now I offer you my soul. Break free from the spell held over you for so long Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua!" The Tokens transfigure into two purple orbs of light, which merge and fly though the hallway and out of the building. The orb turns into some sort of device, causing everyones Birthmark to ache. Then Daisuke and Veemon were all of a sudden surrouned by a ball of light, "What is the Dai?" Veemon asked "I don't know, but I feel like its protecting us" Daisuke anwers. Then stream of light sail past the Duel Field. "What is this?" Aki wonders. Misty said "Do not fret. A Signer's soul will not be taken by the arrival of an Eathbound Immortal. Not until an outcome is placed on the Duel of Darkness" The builing tremble "Where!? Where is it !? Where's the monster you summoned forth?" Aki asked. Misty replies "It's been here for a while. Look behind you." Both Aki's and Daisuke pupils quiver as they turned their heads around spotting something pass and completely block the view out a hall window. Both of them stared at a now pitch-gray window, then a massive green eye as large as the window itself appeard. Aki gasped "What kind of monster is this!?" Daisuke was speechless at what she was looking at. Aki slowly backs in the opposite direction. "It would appear that yet another Duel has received its outcome," Misty states. A loud scream is heard coming from above. Aki recognizes the voice "Divine?"
Then all of a sudden Divine came plummeting down, Aki spotted him falling past the inside balconies, followed by debris from the higher floors. She screams "DIVINE!" which echoes through the building. The walls begin to crack and more parts of the building fall apart. Misty concludes "It seems our match is to be postponed" Misty then leaves. "Aki! We have to get out of here!" Daisuke shouted. But then Aki passed out in shock. "Aki!" Daisuke yelled out, but she tripped on the rubble and got her left foot trapped. Daisuke grunted "Come on!" Then a large piece of rubble fell down towards her. Daisuke screamed "AHHHHH!" Then her Digivice glowed Veemon yelled out "Daisuke! Veemon digivole to Exveemon!" He then punch the falling rubble. Daisuke smiled "Exveemon!" He smiled back and helped get her foot free. "Thanks Vee" Daisuke said. She then trieds to get up, but then a surge of pain came in her ankle and she kneel down on her right knee. "Daisuke!" Exveemon said worriedly. Daisuke said in pain "My ankle! I've must of sprained it" Both of them started to worry, they had to get out of their with Aki, but then they heard someone calling out "Carly! Carly, are you here!? Carly!"They saw Jack. Daisuke called out "Jack! Over here!" He turn around and saw them "Daisuke!" and ran towards them "are you alright?" He then saw Exveemon and panics "What is that?!" Daisuke told him "I'll explain later! Right now we have to get out of here!" Jack nodded "Right" He then pick up Aki and Exveemon picked up Daisuke "I'll meet you outside!" Daisuke said. She then turn to Exveemon and said " Lets go" Exveemon then flew off and out of the crumbling building.
Okay everyone that was the start of the Dark Signer's arc. In the Next chapter the Signer will united.
