Yusei had fallen asleep with Lez using his shoulder as a pillow. He was woken by Jack, who looked at Yusei before he punched his shoulder.

"HEY! Lazy, get up."

Yusei rubbed his shoulder. At first, he thought he'd felt something else there, but then it hit him. Jack had punched the shoulder where Lez had been. He looked down and realized she was rubbing sleep from her eyes. She was in her dark green pajamas and she wasn't bleeding anymore. Her breathing was normal, too.

His heart slowed again. He'd feared she'd died right beside him. He noticed she looked at him while she kept rubbing one eye. She looked very innocent and Yusei suddenly thought she was perfect.

"Morning," she mumbled. She staggered to her feet and her brother stood beside her. "Morning," she mumbled again.

Zen just shook his head. "You worry me too much. I need a new job." He patted her head.

Lez reached up, stretching as far as she could. Her back popped slightly and her arms shook a bit with the strain of stretching. She scratched her head and then doubled over, messing up her hair before throwing it back over her shoulders. Standing up again, she looked a bit refreshed. "Ah, yes, that's better."

Kururu was standing back, with several of the other people, waiting. He was quite sure that Yusei's eyes portrayed something he hadn't been expecting. Kururu just smirked and adjusted his glasses as everyone helped Yusei and Lez. Yusei's eyes showed love, a love that wouldn't be surpassed by a dead soul. He'd given Lez the will to fight for the rest of her life.

But the smile soon faded. The time for the Signers to battle the worst of the Dark Signers was not too far away, Zen had predicted that much. Kururu would have to brace the Guardians for their downfall as the card that would win it all.

---Two hours later---

Kururu made sure everyone was present, of his Guardians anyways. Leo had to be snuck out of the hospital and was currently playing with his IV tube.

"What's up, Kururu?" Lez asked. She was curled up in a ball on the armchair. She looked much smaller when she balled up like that. Her green PJs made her almost blend in with the green armchair, but her dark green nails made her stand out, so did her white skin and her bright eyes.

"It's time to prepare you for your deaths. There's no way to stop it. All of us, even I, will die. It all depends upon the hearts of our Signers. If they become too strong, we'll no longer be needed." He closed his eyes, suppressing the thought of death. "Once that happens, we'll be drawn away from this life and thrown back into the wheels of fate. Our destiny is clear. Once we give them the heart to summon the Crimson Dragon, that's it. We'll have no choice but to be reincarnated into a regular life. There's no guarantee we'll be the same." He opened his eyes and looked around. Sitting in a perfect circle, Kururu could name them all off.

To his immediate left was Lez. To her left was Leo. To his left was Zen, who was drinking a cup of tea. To his left was Alice, sitting between the two-seater sofa and the three-seater sofa. To her left was the final and newest member, Amy. Amy was newest because her predecessor had died trying to stop Carly's death. Amy was a mystery, with blond hair, blue eyes, and the most beautiful tan, but she was quite an airhead.

"What's that leave us to do for support?" Alice asked. Her eyes never focused. She was dead blind and had been in an accident that broke both kneecaps. Kururu had saved her soul from death, but hadn't expected her previous injuries to follow the soul.

"All we can do is be that one card to give them a shining dragon." Kururu closed his eyes and leaned on Lez's chair. He was choosing his next words carefully. He had to make them understand that there was a possibility of death. "Leo, you will be the leader when the first dragon appears. I won't let you die. You are the only one of us that physically exists here."

Leo shrugged. "So? I'm betting, if we don't freak out, we'll win this in the end. Besides, I'm the odd-ball, remember?"

Lez gave a snort and everyone looked at her. If you hadn't known that in the past twelve hours she'd gotten comfy with Yusei, you would've thought she was someone else. Lez never laughed about anything like jokes or little bits of sarcasm. But right that moment, she was covering her mouth and shaking. Soon after, she burst out laughing and, for no obvious reason, the laughter spread. Kururu only smiled. How like them to get along so well.

"We'll face this next step of the way with everything we've got." Alice smiled. "Besides, there's not much left that we can do. I guess we'll have to say goodbye to our friends and get ready for the first wave, huh?"

Kururu sighed and then gave his usual, blank stare. "Yes. We have to be ready. There's no if, ands, or buts. This must be done. The Signers are the worlds last hope."

Lez tucked her body in tighter. There was a problem with her Signer....

---Rex---

He was standing by the window in Jack's apartment slash home. The view of the city was magnificent. He wouldn't have guessed that Jack would chose a spot where you could see the ocean and the city all in one. It was quite beautiful.

Jack came back from his bedroom, drying off his hair. The other Signers were all sitting around his living room. Luna was a bit fidgety without her brother. Other than that, they were all there. Rex could feel them anticipating something dangerous.

He felt it in the air, the time of the Salvation Dragon, the Savior Dragon was about to make it's debut.
