Chapter 9
Jack was being carried away on a stretcher as I walked my runner over to Yusei.
"Well done bro, seems like you can finally do something right." I tease. He rolls his eyes and looks at my bike.
"Lyra, is this the one?" He asked surprise. I nodded grinning.
"Blister owed me a favour and I got him to pull some strings." I say casually, "Now how about we grab your gang before the paparazzi tries to kill you." I suggest as he looks nervously at the flow of people that the Sector Security guys were barely able to hold back.
"Good plan." He said as Leo, Luna, Leo's friend Dexter, Tanner and Yanagi came running towards us.
"Hey guys, everyone alright?" Yusei asked.
"We're fine, but you're about to face a brand new enemy." Yanagi said slightly panicked. Yusei looked at him confused. "The media." He points to where the people finally broke past the metal barrier and started rushing toward us. "They're loose!" Yanagi squeals. Yusei takes a step back as Tanner starts pushing his bike.
"Better rev it up." Tanner commented.
"Coming." Yusei said quickly, the rest of us in tow. We run to the garage area, hearing our pursuers close behind. Tanner then cut a corner and opened a barely visible door in the wall.
"Quick in here." He said as Yusei took his bike and pushed it through with me right behind him. Almost immediately after Tanner closed the door, the crowd of people stampeded by and we breathed a sigh of relief. Tanner then walked in front, leading us down the tunnel.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"This is an abandoned service tunnel." Tanner replied.
"Cool." sounded Dexter, "Hey Tanner, how did you know this was down here?" Dexter questioned.
"A guy like me knows these things." I roll my eyes.
"Mhmm." I hum sarcastically.
"That, and Blister told me." He added looking at Yusei.
"I have no idea what happened to you in that light, but I'm just thrilled that you won the tournament." Yanagi stated. Leo nodded.
"I just knew you could do it Yusei, you're the best duelist I've ever seen." Leo complimented. "You're like my hero."
"Oi, shut up, this'll go straight to his head and his ego will get even higher if that's possible." I joke. Yusei sighs, shaking his head at me.
"Forget the tournament." Tanner spoke up, "The whole thing was a set up on Goodwin's part. Let's not forget, the only reason Yusei agreed to duel was because Goodwin captured his friends." The mood darkened and we all hmmed. "Until we figure out what the whole story is, we should lay low at Blister's hideout." He looked at the twins, "Leo and Luna, you should probably come and stay with us too." He told them. Leo perked up at that.
"Are you serious? Awesome it'll be like a sleepover, only even better!" He exclaimed. I saw Yusei smile at him.
"Yusei?" Luna asks gently, "I don't know how, but I was able to see inside that weird light. I saw you guys dueling and...I saw the Satellite being destroyed." She told him. I gasped.
"I did too Luna." Then I sighed, "Well, at least I know I'm not going insane just yet." I say humorously. Yanagi chuckles.
"Hmm, it was the future wasn't it?" Luna asked him. Yusei looked ahead.
"I have no idea, but if that was a vision of the future, then we have to stop it from happening." He replied looked down and grabbed her arm.
"What is a Signer?" She asked.
"Allow me Luna." Yanagi burst in excitedly, "I could tell you everything you need to know. Before I explain what a Signer is, I have to give you some backstory." Hr started proudly, "By thrilling you with tales from my numerous adventures around the world."
"Um, okay?" She replied uncertainly. I slowed down a bit and whacked Yanagi on the head.
"What do your numerous adventure stories have to do with Signers?" I questioned slightly annoyed. He smiled at me.
"Absolutely nothing." I whacked him again and he complained loudly. I glanced over at Yusei who looked deep in thought and I nudged him gently.
"You alright bro?" I say quietly. He nods not looking me in the eye. I frown but continue walking. It took longer than I thought it would, but we made it back to Blister's hideout in one piece. Yusei had asked Yanagi to draw a picture with the symbols of the Crimson Dragon and I sat on the couch.
'Oi, Crimson Dragon, you've been pretty quiet lately, something wrong?' I asked in my thoughts. I heard a sigh.
'Frankly, there is something wrong, the Dark Signer's are on the move. Something will happen, tonight.' She replied.
"Now bear in mind I'm not an artist, and I only saw it the one time, but...the dragon seal looks something like this." He said as the others leaned towards the crude drawing. I smirked, if they wanted to see it, it was 'engraved' along my arms and torso. I peaked over the others to see it, not bad, it gets the point across at least. Yusei gasped and stared hard at the drawing.
"That's the dragon's head." He stated.
"What is it, what about the head?" Leo asked.
"Look." He stated pointing to his mark. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"Moron. You have the tail, nice try though." I point out. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow.
"How would you know that?" He responded. I started taking off my jacket and shirt-without shame, might I add- revealing my black tank top, showing off all the marks imprinted on my body. They looked at me in shock, Yanagi's jaw just about hit the floor. "What? How-Lyra….what?" Yusei stuttered. I blushed.
"Right, I forgot to mention that I'm the sixth Signer….whoops." I say scratching the back of my neck, "Anywho, I bear all the marks and the soul of the Crimson Dragon, cool right." I tell them. They all look shocked and Luna grabs her arm looking at one of the marks on me. Leo then looked at Luna.
"Hey Luna, let's see your mark." He said and she raised her sleeve, "So Luna's mark looks like the claw thingy, what's that mean?" He asked. We all turned to Yanagi who began to speak again.
"According to legend, the Crimson Dragon's head, wings, hands, legs, and tail were split into five parts. And then sealed away as marks on the original marks were then passed down the generations." He explained, "But I've never heard of the holder of the soul." He said looking at me and I shrugged.
"But right now we only know about four Signers and Lyra, so how was the Crimson Dragon summoned at the tournament if only four of them and Lyra were gathered?" Tanner asked.
"I guess the fifth Signer was somewhere in the stadium." Yanagi concluded.
"Well, the Crimson Dragon told me that the fifth Signer was having technical difficulties right now, so to speak." I say.
"The Crimson Dragon told you?" Tanner said unbelievingly. I smirk and close my eyes concentrating.
'Oi, Crimson Dragon, mind saying something to the unbelievers.' I think.
'Hello, my Signers and friends. Lyra speaks the truth, the fifth one is not currently available at the moment, and that is all I'm able to say.' She speaks, and from the looks I'm getting, the others heard. Luna then looks closely at the drawing and passes out. I reach out and catch her, Yanagi right beside me.
"Is she alright?" Yusei asked worriedly.
"Luna!" Leo shouts, "Luna, what's wrong?" She opens her slightly unfocused eyes and tries to look at Leo.
"I'm fine, just a little tired or something." She mumbled.
"Well that's understandable, we've all had a crazy couple of days, let's try to get some rest." Tanner told us. We all agreed as I picked up Luna bridal style and carried her to a room with Leo in tow. I tucked them in and walked over to the couch with a blanket. Yusei was nearly asleep sitting there, so I sat beside him, fixed the blanket on both of us and closed my eyes leaning against his shoulder, letting sleep take over.
Well, there's the chapter, I'll post the next one soon. :) R&R please and flames will be used for roasting marshmallows.
