Chapter 7

The End?

May and Yusei pulled to a hover and noticed that the Hell Riders were falling and disappearing.

"What's happening here?" Mia asked through the connection.

"It's like when Roman died so did they," Okkoto said.

"This is unusual. I can sense extremely dark magic at work," Alan said. "But it's dissipating and disappearing."

"Do you think Roman was using magic to create an army of Hell Dragons?" Yusei suggested.

"That makes since. If that's so, that would explain why the king of Hell Dragons would revive him. What if Roman was the last true Hell Rider?" Mak asked.

"Okkoto, you're our best magic scanner. Can you feel any Hell magic in the world?" May asked.

Silence for a moment before Okkoto's voice returned, "No. None. Do you think the war is over?"

"I hope it is. But we will always have to be ready for a comeback," Mia said.

"If the king of the Hell Dragons could revive Roman, then he could probably revive another person with equally strength," Yusei reasoned. "This war may be unending."

"It may be so," Alan said.

"Yusei!" called Jack.

Yusei and May looked down at the five figures in a window. "Are those your friends, Yusei?" May asked.

"Yep," Yusei replied.

"They want answers after you being away so long, don't they?" May asked.

"Yep," Yusei repeated his reply.

"Want me to come with you?" May asked.

"That may be better than me going alone," Yusei answered.

"Good. I wouldn't have let you go alone anyways," May said.

"Not that I would expect you to," Yusei responded.

"Race you to the ground," May challenged.

"Oh, you are so on," Yusei agreed.

Their dragons agreed and darted towards the ground before yanked upward to a full stop at the same time. "I totally won that," May proclaimed.

"We landed at the same time, May. No one won," Yusei responded.

"We always tie, you know," May said.

"Yeah, because we are close to equally fast," he retorted.

"Whatever," May said and both started to laugh.

"Hey, Yusei!" called Crow. They were running out of the building they were in.

"Hey Crow," Yusei greeted.

"Yeah, he still remembers us!" Leo cheered.

"Leo…" Luna responded smacking her twin in the arm.

"Yusei, where have you been? What was that stuff you were saying about it being better if a Hell Rider dies?" Jack asked. May and Yusei jumped off their dragons and stood side by side. "And who is this?"

"My name is May. We've been at a hideout a few hours from here. Yusei has been training and battling Hell Riders with us for a long while," May explained.

"What type of battling?" Akiza asked.

"War kind," Yusei answered. "We protect the earth from them as the unending war between Hell and Heaven become a part of our lives."

"What was with those words you were saying that created attacks and stuff," Crow asked.

"That was magic. Magic comes from dragons. Magic flows from the dragon to the rider," Yusei explained.

"Why would it be better if a Hell Rider dies? I mean, they're human!" Luna asked.

"A Hell Rider is chosen due to the amount of darkness, sadness, anger and loneliness in their hearts. And when they are chosen, that's the only thing they will ever feel. So it is better to kill them, so they do not feel such horrors for so long," May explained.

"So how is a Heaven—or whatever rider chosen?" Leo asked.

"They are chosen based on their purity and light in their heart. Those with such amount of light tend to be chosen as Heaven Riders. Those with such darkness tend to become Hell Riders. And those with both tend to always be a normal human," Star explained.

"Who said that?" Crow asked looked around. Star leaned down a bit and gave them an answering look. "What did that dragon just talk?"

"What did you think? We were insolent, dumb beings? We are the ones who choose our riders. We are no dumb animal that cannot speak," Ziah retorted.

"Ziah! Calm down. He didn't mean it," May told her dragon.

"So dragons can talk?" Crow asked.

"Yes, Crow," Yusei answered staying calm.

"Yusei, May!" called Okkoto as he landed.

"What's up, Okkoto?" May greeted.

"Alan says we need to head back. Figure out what to do next," Okkoto said.

"Oh, no. Yusei is not leaving this quickly," Crow retorted.

"Don't have much of a choice Crow," Yusei said.

"Besides, you really can't question, Alan. He's pretty wise and skilled. Heck, he's over a thousand years old!" May exclaimed.

"Wait, what?" Jack asked. "Wasn't he the guy with the golden dragon?" Yusei nodded. "But he didn't look over thirty."

"Listen, non-rider, dragon riders don't age. They can't die from age. Only from battle. Whether it be a sword or spell, that's tends to be the only way we can die," Okkoto explained. "Now, Yusei, May, we need to get going. I don't want to get it from Alan."

"Right," May and Yusei agreed.

They boarded their dragons and looked at the confused and slightly dumbfounded group below them.

"This is goodbye, everyone. Hopefully we'll see each other again, but I don't know when that'll be," Yusei said. He took off before anyone had a chance to respond.

Sorry this is so short… again. *scolds self in frustration* Sorry guys, I'm trying to make them longer.
