Intermission: That Man

I have searched everywhere, in the book but still nothing. Numbers, that mark, nothing. It does not make sense. That mark awakened the power of the Crimson Dragon, how can it not appear in the book. This Ichigo Zero, he must've come from somewhere. I must look further I must have missed something.

"You will not find what you seek there." My eyes go wide, I did not notice anyone here, so where…I looked in front of me to see someone this person it was covered by a light cream cape with a hood covering his hair. His clothes were completely Red with golden lines and his gloves were white like mines. his mask white with some circled red surrounding the eyes. In his hand he had a book that was colored dark blue. What makes me cautious was the aura that both the book and the figure in front of me had it was intense, in fact it was similar to the crimson dragon itself.

"Who are you?" I asked not losing my eyes on the figure.

"My name is of no importance, I came here to tell you that the answers that you seek are not in there in fact it is not in your possession." The figure spoke, his voice a very cold but prideful voice but at the same time serious and calm.

"Is that so." I calmly said and the figure chuckled.

"I see so this world has these kinds of people, very well." he threw me the book and I easily catch it with my right hand. "The answers that you seek, the mark that the boy has, everything is right there." Wait how does he… "How does he know? That is what you were going to ask me, I could answer you but my time in this place is almost done, without the sphere cube I cannot stay here in this form for long." This form?

"Just who are you?" I asked.

"I told you my name is of no importance but if you human want to know, you can called me…That Man." That Man? Must be some code. I looked at the book.

"Why are you helping me?" The figure chuckled.

"It is simple, you and I have a similar enemy, also I would like to see this world more, but as I said without the sphere cube I cannot last in this form for long." He said before he opens a dimensional portal that surprises me. "The Crimson Dragon…Is not the only being with the power to rule this world." with that he left. I stood there for a couple of seconds. Even me a very calm and collected person was surprise by this phenomena that occurred. I look at the book that the figure, That Man gave me. I opened and my eyes grew wide but then an evil smile started to form in my lips.

"The gods must be smiling upon me." This information, this knowledge, with this I can see the power that the boy that faced our King, Jack Atlas had. Everything was here, Number, the boy's mark, and even new marks appeared on this book. I see so the boy's mark name is... "My plans would go faster than I anticipated I hope we could meet again…That Man, and I'll see you tomorrow Ichigo Zero." I said to myself as I absorb the new knowledge into my mind…the knowledge that would fulfill my own wish.

I have returned home. Getting to that world without the Sphere Cube was really tiresome.

"Well look who is back!" I look to see one of my people. He was wearing a dark red robes with a hood over his head and eyes that glowed with a orange light. "I was starting to miss you."

"Humph, I wouldn't have gone there if you would have gone to give him the book yourself." He scoffed.

"I don't do boring jobs you know." He is such a simpleton.

"Humph."

"Welcome Back." I looked to see a man just as short as the one in front of me. He had a gray cloak and has grey eyes that glows red. "I see that your mission was a success." he said.

"Yes, although the simpleton would've been a better choice." I said which I received a glare but I do not heed to it.

"The important thing is that is completed, but it would not suffice to just give him the book, we must observe this…signers, they have the ability to contact something that was created by our leader. The people of the stars were calling us so we responded by creating the crimson dragon, but I never expected the power to be split into six." I agreed with him, it took me by surprise that the crimson dragon was split into six separated dragons, each assigned to a person with the sign to call upon the crimson dragon's power. Synchro monsters, even as powerful as they are they don't stand a chance against our numbers.

"So, what do you suggest, that we observe them?" I asked. and he nodded.

"I will sent you there with, Alit, I have faith that the both of you would be safe." then he handed us a golden cube. "The Sphere Cube should maintain your forms, make sure you blend with the crowd, we do not want to catch any attention." I heard Alit groan.

"That's so boring why don't we…" He stopped when he heard the strict voice of our partner.

"I would not risk getting discover so soon, is that clear Alit."

"Y-Y-You got it I'll be a good boy, yep no one will know I am there." Humph simpleton.

"Very Well, you should appear tomorrow it seems the man that you delivered the book of Ginga no Gãdian Rex Godwin will hold a tournament called the Fortune Cup that will decide who will face their King, Jack Atlas. One Of the Ginga no Gãdian will be participating." I see…

"Do we know who he is." he nodded.

"His name is…Ichigo Zero." Ichigo Zero Ichigo means "one lifetime, one encounter" Zero meaning "Nothing" "Nothing but a one lifetime, one encounter" *Chuckles* I have a feeling that I will have this one encounter soon.

"Darkness is the ruler of chaos,

Light is the ruler of hope."

Well there you have it, That Man! Some of you should have already figure out our three mysterious characters, now one of the major plots will commence, The Fortune Cup ark will begin on the next chapter: Reactor's vs. Deformer Wind-Up! see ya!
