Chapter Nine

The Revealing Truth

"Wait a minuet Zorc? As in the Lord of All Shadows; Zorc?" asked Marik

"Well I'm glad to see you weren't asleep through every lesson Marik, but yes that's the one." said Mana

"No wonder I felt him." said Yami

"What?" asked Bakura

"Just before we left I could feel his energy staring at us through the Shadows or something just waiting for us to leave."

"But why he had you three right there." said Atemu "I mean what better way to stop the threat than to wipe it out before the prophecy was fulfilled?"

"Because it was Zorc that ruined the lives of Zeth and our great grandfather who just happens to be named Radon like our father." said Yami

"How did you know that?" asked Mahado

"Yugi you or your brothers want to tell them or should I?" asked Yami to his small love and Yugi just sighed. He had hoped to avoid this if he could but now that he thought about it things didn't play out the way that he and the other three thought it would. Like Yugi told Yami the night he and the other two told him and his brothers who they really were Yugi had always known that there was something different about Yami and his brothers and it wasn't until one night when Yugi was alone upstairs in the attic with the Book did Malik and Ryou told Yugi what they knew.

'What? What do you mean Malik?' asked Yugi "We promised to help them now you want to cut them from our lives?"

"No that's not what I'm saying Yugi." said Malik

"Funny cause that's what it sounds like." said Yugi

"It's not that Yugi." said Ryou "It's just going into Radiant we don't know what the new powers we got there will do to us."

"I do." Yami said from the doorway.

"Yami? You heard everything?" asked Yugi

"Yeah. You and Malik aren't the only ones that are strong in the link." said Yami

"Oh right." said Yugi a little embarrassed.

"Anyway you want to know the truth?" asked Yami "Then lets ask"

"What do you mean Yami?" asked Yugi

"I mean we can ask the one who gave you your powers. We can ask Zeth." said Yami

"Um Yami Zeth is in the past how can we get him?" asked Malik

"Easy. While here your magic is light. Mine is darkness. We can combine them and get both Zeth and Radon. The one who gave me and my brothers our powers."

"Okay great." said Yugi "What do we need?"

"Three white candles. Two black candles and one linen cloth."

"Okay. We got all that stuff." said Ryou

"Great lets do this." said Yugi

"So we summoned both Zeth and your great great grandfather and they both explained what was going on."

"So you guys knew that it was Zorc this whole time?" asked Marik

"Yeah kind of." said Yugi

"Sorry we never told you." said Ryou.

"Actually I can understand why you guys didn't tell us." said Bakura

"Really?" asked Malik

"Yeah. But right now we need to focus on destroying Zorc." said Mana

"Question is how?" asked Atemu.

"We'll have to get into the castle somehow."

"But how on Earth do we do that?" asked Malik

"Malik that's it!" said Yugi

"What is?" asked marik

"Think about it Marik. If we can find out where the entrance to the castle is here on Earth then we can open a portal here on Earth and get into the castle without Zorc knowing." said Yugi

"That's true not to mention he's low on demons." said Akiza "So if some of us distracts what guards are there then you eight can get in with ease."

"Wait what do you mean he's low on demons?" asked Mana

"Well when we went after you Zorc felt the battle you and I had and he sent what demons were in the castle after me, Yusei, Jack, Kalis, and Kari. However when we had got back to the portal I sent everyone else ahead and Black Rose and I well lets just say there's only a handful of people that has seen my true power when I completely unleash it so it's kind of hard to explain." said Akiza

"Oh."

"Anyway. We have to work fast. Akiza Yusei can you and the other Signers help with this battle?" asked Yami

"Yeah. Of course." said Yusei. "Guys?"

"Yeah." said Kalis

"Of course." said Kari

"You know I will. Like I told you before, a crow never backs down from a fight." said Crow.

"Yeah same here." said Jack

"I'm ready." said Leo

"Me too." said Luna

"Well Yusei you know you can count on me." said Akiza

"Alright. We have to make a plan before we do anything." said Yugi. "Mana Mahado Mahad Karina? Can you guys help?"

"Yeah. Lets do this." said Mana.

"Hey I have a question. How do we find the portal?" asked Ryou.

"We'll have to go into Radiant and search there and here at the same time. Once we find it on both sides then we'll be able to go." said Yugi

"But who goes and searches in Radiant?" asked Bakura

"Joey and I will go." said Seto.

"Seto you sure?" asked Yugi

"Yes. You guys search here. Myself and the other Mystics will search on the other side." said Seto looking at the rest of the Mystics "Right?"

"Agreed." everyone said.

So for weeks on end they searched for the portal that would lead in to the castle but they couldn't find anything on Yugi's side. Then about two weeks after they started the search Yugi got a message from Joey saying that they had finally found the portal in Radiant. From his description Yugi was able to figure out where the portal was on their side very easily and he couldn't believe that they had over looked it quiet a few times. It was in their club that they all owned.

So then Yugi and the other Shadow Mages, the Princes, and Mahado, Mana, Mahad, and Karina, along with the Crimson Signers went to Radiant to the final battle with Zorc so that Yami and the others could free their father and save their worlds from the Shadow Lord. But the problem was they had no idea what Zorc had in store for them. So they went to the Shadow Realm before entering the Princes world. It wasn't until Yugi asked Yami why they were going to the Shadow Realm did Yami tell them the legend of Radiant.

Ten thousand years ago there was a warrior that once sealed Zorc away but no one had ever seen or heard of the mysterious warrior or knew where he had gone when he defeated Zorc all those years ago. No one but one person remained from that time. His name was Kiryu Kyosuke. Yusei couldn't believe it. It was his closest friend. One of the only ones who truly knew him. Kiryu was the leader of the duel gang he Crow and Jack were a part of except back then he went by Kalin Kessler. Yusei had no idea that Kalin was truly from Radiant. But that did explain where Kalin went after their final duel in the shadows when Kalin told Yusei that he wanted Yusei to free him. That must be what he meant by that free Kiryu.

"You okay Yusei?" asked Yugi

"Yeah I'm just surprised is all."

"About what?" asked Yami

"Well I kind of know Kiryu. Except when I knew when he was known as Kalin." said Yusei.

"I'm not surprised." said Yami "Kiryu or Kalin came to the human realm to escape from Zorc's minions because like I said he's the only one that knows where the warrior is."

"That's true." said Yusei

"WHO'S THERE?" shouted a voice and at first no one knew where it had came from but then Yusei saw an old dragon that he hadn't seen since Kalin's Dark Signer days.

"That's Hundred Eye Dragon." said Yusei

"You know that dragon?"

"Yeah its Kalin's dragon from when he was a Dark Signer." said Yusei

"Okay. Yusei you'd better tell Kalin who we are." said Yami

"That's true." said Yusei. "Kalin? It's me Yusei and the rest of the Signers."

"Who else is with you?"

"Just the Princes and the Shadow Mages."

"Alright Yusei. Come on in." said Kalin

"It's great to see you Kalin." said Yusei.

"You too Yusei but I doubt that you came all the way to the shadow realm just to say hello." said Kalin

"Yes. We need to know where the mysterious warrior that defeated Zorc ten thousand years ago is." said Yami

"Well you won't have to look anymore." said Kalin

"Wait do you mean what I think you do?" asked Yusei

"Yes Yusei I am in fact the one that fought and defeated Zorc."
