Chapter 7
The Bond
When Matsumoto entered her room, she closed the door behind her and threw her cell phone and her music player on to her bed then walked over to the large French mirror where she looked at herself and remembered the mask that encased her head when all of a sudden it returned from out of nowhere. When the mask appeared she thought to herself,
'Did I just bring this back? What's happening to me?' she said while looking at the fox mask floating in front of her when she reached out and grabbed it.
Matsumoto turned to the large French mirror that she had standing in the corner of her room and started to walk up to it and began to pose in her latex outfit still with the mask in her hands when she turned and decided to get changed when she placed the mask down on her dresser and reached across her body with her right hand and removed her gloves and unzipped them and struggled to pull them off but eventually she did. After Matsumoto had removed the gloves she undid the buckle straps around her neck and bottom of the top and pulled it off over her head freeing the top half of her body.
When she was completely free of the latex clothing, Matsumoto grabbed her nightgown and pulled it on over her head and allowed it to flow down to her ankles where she walked towards the door and walked down the stairs into the kitchen where her mum was sitting at the table with a look of worry on her face.
After sitting down at the table her mum said,
"Now why did you come back wearing that latex outfit?"
"It's a long story but I will try and remember everything" replied Matsumoto.
"Right then let's hear it" said her mum with a strict tone in her voice.
"Well I had just finished at the store and got the groceries you wanted and while i was in there I found this strange golden mask that had no price tag or barcode on it so I took to the counter and the clerk said that I could have it for free so when I paid for the stuff and started my way home.
Then on the corner of Factory Street and Highton road I was attacked from behind by this large black figure who snook up on me and placed this damp rag over my mouth and nose where I fell asleep. When I came to I found myself chained up in the old steelworks factory that had been turned into some sort of dueling dungeon and I had no option but to duel him.
"What did the man look like?" questioned her mum.
"I don't really know as he wore a black mask over his face with only his evil red eyes showing while he stood in the darkness of the factory, I was then defeated in a few turns and then the wired thing happened" stopped Matsumoto in reply.
"Then what happened?" asked Matsuda.
"When the duel came to an end, the Black Duelist used some sort of strange power to change my clothes from what I was wearing to the latex one I came in with but that wasn't all, when all of a sudden this black fox mask appeared and encased my entire head and fastened around my neck so I couldn't speak or get it off" explained Matsumoto.
"Where is this mask now Matsumoto?" asked her mum.
"Its upstairs in my room on my dresser" replied Matsumoto when Matsuda went to get it.
A few moments later Matsuda returned with the mask in his hands when he walked through the door.
"So this is the mask that you were forced to wear" said her mum.
"Yes but then this White Knight came from out of nowhere and demanded the Black Duelist to release me from his control but when I was walking towards the gold mask that was given to me the Black Duelist used his wired powers to summon Holding arms and holding legs that chained me to a stone tablet but lucky for me the White Knight won and freed me from the mad man but then after that I remember nothing" finished Matsumoto.
"We should inform the police about this Black Duelist" said Matsuda.
"No, the matter is over" replied Matsumoto not wanting the police to be involved.
"Matsumoto, are you ok now?" asked her mum.
"Yes I'm fine I think, it's been a long day and I need to rest" replied Matsumoto when she took the black fox mask from off the table and went to bed.
"Ok night Matsumoto" said her mom when she sipped her tea.
"Are you ok mum?" asked Matsuda.
"Yes I'm just a little worried about Matsumoto that's all" she replied.
During the night, Matsumoto began to have a nightmare where she was facing the Black Duelist once more but then a powerful voice entered her mind and said,
"Matsumoto, I am here to help you" said the ancient voice.
"Who are you?" said Matsumoto while still asleep.
"Put the mask on and you will see me" said the soft womanly voice once more.
Then Matsumoto sat up still asleep and took the gold mask and placed it onto her face.
Just then Matsumoto was standing in a narrow corridor with two doors in front of her one on the right and one on the left when she looked at the two doors and was urged to take the right hand door when she walked up to it and pushed it open revealing what looked like a Egyptian throne room.
Meanwhile in Daguerreo Queen Rydia looked at her king from behind her wired shaped mask as it curved lower on one side than the other when King Arch said,
"My Queen are you Ok?"
"Yes my king, now let us prepare to enslave the Humans and rule the worlds together with the Dark Master.
"Yes my Queen lets unlock our real decks and plunge the world into darkness and decay.
Meanwhile in the Egyptian throne like room, Matsumoto looked around and there in the middle of the room was a solid gold Sarcophagus as this caught Matsumoto's attention when she approached it and to her surprise she could read the ancient text when she spoke the words and the lid slowly scrapped open. Matsumoto jumped back when the lid slammed on the floor where a dust cloud covered the sarcophagi. When the dust had cleared, Matsumoto looked inside and there laying was a feminine figured mummy when suddenly the millennium symbol appeared on her forehead and then appeared on the forehead of the female mummy when the wrappings unwrapped themselves and revealed a beautiful Egyptian Princess.
When the Egyptian Princess was unwrapped a bright gold light filled the room when Matsumoto had to shield her eyes but then the light faded when all of a sudden the light faded when the Egyptian Princess dressed in her royal attire wearing the same mask as she was walked from the light and said,
"Thank you for releasing me from my prison stranger" said the young Princess when the two became face to face for the first time.
"You're welcome I guess, but who are you?"
"I am the spirit of a 3000 year old Princess known as Urby, and who might you be?
"I am Matsumoto and why did you say that this was your prison?" she asked in reply.
"It was 3000 years ago when I was 19 years old and I was about to on the throne but my mother's royal advisor, Lord Heishin and his High Mages poisoned her, leaving me to rule the kingdom until one night when I was resting in my chamber when I was kidnapped by Heishin's men and was held deep beneath his chamber and while I was chained up down there the four High mages created a special mask.
"Whoa you mean the mask that we are wearing now?" asked Matsumoto.
"Yes, when one warm night when the moon was full and bright Heishin gave me two options to become his Queen or be mummified alive and my soul trapped within the mask" continued Urby.
Just then Matsumoto looked at Urby and said,
"What happened next?" she asked wanting to know the end of the tale.
"Well I didn't want to be a Queen to his evil court so I refused when suddenly he summoned his lower mages to chain me down to a alter and began to wrap my body folding my arms across my chest leaving all but my head and face showing before they sealed my mouth shut and placing the mask onto my face and then finished covering my face and head when my spirit was absorbed into the masks we wear and laid within this sarcophagus and chamber until you freed me by reading the ancient text" finished Urby.
"Ok Urby, so it was you who called out to me when I was dueling against the Black Duelist.
"Yes I was" replied Urby.
"Ok, how do I call you?" asked Matsumoto.
"Just wear the mask and our bond will begin" replied Urby.
"Ok partner, we will get to know each other over time so how do we bond together" asked Matsumoto.
"We just close our eyes and open our hearts and allow me to enter your mind" explained Urby.
"Ok let's do it" replied Matsumoto when both girls closed their eyes and opened their hearts when the millennium symbol appeared on their foreheads and in a few seconds Urby was gone absorbed into Matsumoto's body when a bright light filled the room and all of a sudden Matsumoto woke up and looked around and then turned her head to the mirror.
'Urby are you there?' thought Matsumoto.
'Yes Matsumoto, I'm here, now you can remove the millennium mask and keep it with you at all times and when you ever want me to help then feel free to ask' replied Urby mentally.
