"What a day"
Yuya said as he walked to the elevator of the top residential area, with him was a smiling Leo and a worried Luna. Both of them asked Yuya If he could come along for the night, he thought for a moment about it and agreed, the twins were happy that Yuya accepted, not knowing why he agreed so easily, for some reason Yuya wanted to stay at Tops, as if something was calling for him.
Luna was watching her surroundings, being careful not to run into Tenpei, he would probably raise ebough attention for security to come, and the last thing they needed was for Yuya to have problems.
As soon as Luna thought about the video that Tenpei, shivers ran through her body, the thought of Yuya alongside that purple dragon was still lingering in her mind, she trusted him as much as Leo did, and could even talk to him without problem, and looking at the duels he has had, anyone could see that he was a high caliber duelist, but the Black Rose was a legend, feared across Neo Domino, and if what she saw was real then not only he survived, but could even go against her, probably even defeating her! With an exasperated sight she looked at his brother, who was talking to Yuya, she couldn't help but smile, maybe she was overthinking this whole situation, Luna decided to leave those thoughts aside and focus on the rest of the day.
Yuya, leo and Luna were inside the apartment, with Yuya teaching them some advanced fusion facts, with both of them listening closely to him.
"…and other thing you should remember is that, when a monster is Fusion summoned with the help of a card, like Polymerization, you have to negate the activation of the card, otherwise, the monster will be summoned.
The twins were writing what Yuya was telling them, it all started with Leo asking Yuya if he could teach them the basic of other summoning methods, saying that it would help him in school, Yuya agreed with no problem and started his small 'class' with Leo, with Luna coming along due to her curiosity.
"Now that we covered the basic of Fusion summoning, we can go to more advanced- "
"Wait, what do you mean basic? I thought that this was an advanced learning"
Leo said without hesitation, winning a light chuckle from Yuya
"It actually is the most basic teaching you will get in a Fusion course, but that doesn't mean that it's not important, the advanced class involves things like Contact Fusion, Fusion without using a Polymerization card, cards that are used as Fusion substitutes, things like that"
Both twins stared at Yuya with a solemn look, with the same thoughts about the lessons, Leo grinned after scratching the back of his head.
"You know, maybe we should continue tomorrow, it's getting late and, uh…"
Yuya looked at him and couldn't help but laugh, of course they wouldn't want to have the advanced class at such a young age.
"It's ok, we can continue tomorrow"
Leo and Luna let out a sigh they didn't knew they had, when Leo asked for a lesson he expected to have an actual basic lesson, but, if his memory served well, then he and Luna just had an advanced class. Leo sat on the couch from the main room, tired, not even bothering to look at his surroundings. Luna, while tired, was curious about where Yuya learned all of this.
"Yuya, if you don't mind me asking, where did you learned all of this?"
Yuya looked at her and, after thinking it for a while, decided to tell her part of the truth.
"With practice"
Yuya said nonchalantly, as if it was nothing from the other world. Luna just looked at him, sure one could learn by practicing, but the kind of lesson that he gave to them was far more than the basics, Luna didn't know, but Yuya was trying to hide any sort of information that could get him compromised, he had taken the advice of Starve on count, and if someone went after him then the last thing he wanted was for the twins to get involved, and Yuya was being careful on his words, he didn't like it, but the less they knew about his nonexistent past, the better.
Luna, on the other hand, got even more curious, the answer she had from him wasn't enough for her, she really wanted to know, but before she could ask, a yawn escaped her lips, looking at the watch hanging from the wall, it was almost midnight.
Yuya looked at her and then at the watch, he didn't need to put two on two to know what was on her mind.
"Time to sleep"
Yuya went to the main room to tell Leo that it was time to sleep, but he found him snoring loudly. He sighed and then carried him with both arms, he was light to carry, as expected.
Yuya followed Luna to their bedroom, being careful not to wake Leo up.
"Here it is"
Yuya entered carefully and was quite surprised to find that, even with the place they were currently in, their room looked like the one of a normal kid, nevertheless he spotted one of the two beds in the room and placed Leo on one of them, and after making sure that he was in a comfortable position, he left, not before saying good nights at Luna.
"W-wait"
Yuya stopped himself and turned around to see Luna looking at her feet.
"Yes, Luna?"
Yuya got closer and kneeled to see her face to face, whatever it was, it was hard for her to say it, but as soon as he got closer he felt a pressure against him, with two arms on his back, Luna was hugging him.
"Thanks, for being with us"
Yuya was at a loss of words, he didn't expect to have that much of an impact on both of them, but it appeared that he did, the thought placed a little smile on his lips, and returned the hug. The hug was short, but Luna looked really happy, with no trace of regret.
After closing the door, Yuya went to the guest room, with the voice of his most trusted partner echoing through the room.
"What a lovely scene, wished I had a camera with me"
Odd-Eyes said with some humor on him, the four dimensional dragons had seen the little moment with Luna.
"You are quite the charmer, aren't you?".
Clear Wing said with a mocking voice, with Starve chuckling at her remark.
"For someone who never had a brother or sister, you do know how to act like one"
Yuya rubbed the back of his head, a little blush going to his face.
"It's nothing really"
Yuya was taking out his vest and his sweatbands, placing them on a desk, he went to the bed.
"I'm just being the friend they need"
Yuya closed his eyes, he was not tired actually, but sleeping wouldn't be that much of a problem… or at least he thought that.
Luna woke up in the middle of the night, she rubbed her eyes and turned to the clock at her side.
"2:35 AM"
Luna was tired but, for some reason, when she tried to sleep, the tiredness completely vanished, she was fully awake after trying to sleep another three times, why was she having such a hard time to sleep? She turned to a sound on her right, seeing Leo getting out of his slumber.
"Luna?"
Leo rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed to look at the hour
"2:42 AM? What are you doing at this hour of the night?"
Both twins wondered why they woke at the same time of the night, it was an odd coincidence. They both heard the door of the apartmen open loudly, almost as if someone kicked it, they soon followed the sound, careful of not making any sound, but when they got to the main room, they saw Yuya with a black haired man who looked beat up, both of them run to help Yuya.
"So you found this guy after you left to test your new D-Wheel?"
Yuya had told them how he had found the guy unconscious in a red Duel Runner, hiding the fact that he actually woke up from a nightmare, and after that he 'felt' his presence down on the corridor.
"When I found him, he was already unconscious, and judging by the screen on his Duel Runner, he was in a duel some minutes ago… sorry if I carried him to your place, but I couldn't just leave him"
"Don't worry, after all, it's just like how we found you, unconscious in the middle of the corridor"
"Yeah, it's no problem, but the next guy who shows up in our apartment better present himself first!
Leo said in a manner of joke, getting a laugh from Yuya and a giggle from Luna.
"Yeah, but now that the problem is solved you should go get some sleep, it's way past your sleep time"
Leo whined after hearing Yuya's words, he wanted to welcome the guy personally rather than letting Yuya handle it himself.
"I don't think I can sleep right now; I am full of ener- "
"Then we can have that lesson right now, it's never too late to learn"
Both Leo and Luna shivered at the thought of having an even harder class than the one they had in the morning, with Leo faking a yawn and leaving to his room, with Luna close behind.
"He won't make it that far with that attitude"
Starve Venom said with a strict voice.
"Give him a rest Venom, he's just a kid"
"Kids or not, they shouldn't avoid a lesson, who knows when it could prove useful"
Dark Rebellion said with a calm voice, supporting his brother's statement.
"Not until they have at least 14… what are you two doing so late? "
Yuya said changing the conversation.
"Given the situation at hand and the fact that you woke up gasping heavily, we wanted to know if you're okay"
Dark Rebellion said with the slightest hint of worry in his voice.
"Oh… well…"
Yuya didn't know if he should tell them about his nightmare, the one where he was being attacked by a possessed Odd-Eyes who was controlled by the same silver-haired man who placed him here in the first place, who was changing form until he looked exactly like himself, he was actually relieved that he woke up before he was struck by another attack.
"I'm okay, just a little nightmare"
Yuya said to the dragons, who didn't ask him further about the matter, Yuya was about to go until Dark Rebellion's voice got his attention.
"Actually, there is another thing I wanted to ask, you see, I wanted you to give me two Overlay Units"
Yuya was surprised at his request, and apparently Starve Venom was too.
"Why would you want Overlay Units?"
"I'm planning on presenting myself to the man monsters, I want to know if he is not dangerous, the overlay units are just in the case that something goes wrong"
Yuya listened closely to Rebellion's petition, Overlay Units must be harder to get on the Terminal World.
"So you, Odd-Eyes, Clear Wing and Starve Venom want to meet his monsters to be sure he is not dangerous?"
"Well, just me and Venom, Clear Wing and Odd-Eyes are sleeping right now, and Venom offered himself to help me find them"
"Dark Rebellion is a good tracker, but if you want to find someone then I am your monster, besides, it would be better to know that there is someone to find rather than trying to find a monster in that desolated valley that we landed"
Yuya wanted to know what Starve Venom mean by desolated valley, he thought that the place was full of duel monsters, maybe they were hiding from something? Yuya placed that thought away and, after getting two level 4 monsters from his deck, he placed them on the back of Dark Rebellion.
"Thanks Yuya, you will not be disappointed, now rest, you need a real rest after today duel"
Dark Rebellion said after vanishing to the Terminal World, with Starve Venom behind. Yuya sighed and placed his deck on the night stand, near the unconscious men's deck, placing his pendulum on top of it so Leo and Luna could identify them with ease.
"I hope you know what you are doing, Dark Rebellion"
Dark Rebellion was flying in the dark sky, following the image of Starve Venom, who was following the scent of the guy's monster, he didn't remember that Starve Venom was this fast, if it wasn't for the Overlay Units that gave him access to his full power then he would have a hard time following him.
"We are close; I can feel it"
Starve Venom said quickening his pace, Dark Rebellion followed him close and after looking at a light not far enough from his point of view, he stopped.
"We'll go over the entrance of their camp, remember, we don't want to intimidate them"
Starve Venom growled after hearing his words for the fifth time.
"I heard you the first time for Sophia's sake, even I know how to make allies you know?"
Junk Warrior was at a medical tent, still feeling that infernal Goyo Guardian cord tightening around himself, he knew Yusei gave the best of him in that duel against Trudge, but that didn't take the pain away.
"Don't move"
Junk Gardna was making sure that he didn't had any serious injury, there was no need for a medical checkup, he felt fine, just a little rest and he would be better than ever, but his body had a different opinion after he winced from the pain after Junk Gardna touched his chest in search for any serious injury.
"If only your attitude changed with that attack, you need to stay here until your injuries heal, and please, don't go fighting the first monster that 'looks like a threat'"
Junk Warrior rolled his eyes under his visor, he wasn't a kid that should be lectured on what to and what not to do, and those other fights were on behalf of his family.
"And what if someone tries to attack us, we are the perfect prey, just waiting until a monster shows up to try and ate us"
"…really? There is no way someone would try to come to a camp full of Synchro monster and fight their way out just for a prey, no one is that- "
He was cut off after an alarm sounded through the improvised camp, with Junk Warrior getting out of the tent in no time, he knew that staying here was a bad idea, but whoever thought that he was going to let someone injure him, the he was wrong.
"-stupid"
Junk Gardna face palmed after Junk Warrior omitted his instructions, again.
Dark Rebellion and Starve Venom stood their place, not moving an inch even after they broke an alarm, with an archer clad in orange armor pointing an arrow at Rebellion's heart, they weren't intimidated. Soon multiple monsters started to appear from the camp, a black juggernaut with four arms, then a big warrior armed with an axe with a red armor made his presence, followed by a red robot-like warrior with a pompadour on his head, they were getting surrounded quickly, but didn't showed any sign of fear, in fact, they started to grin at the sight. The last monster to show up was a man in purple armor with a white scarf on his neck, he looked to have some sort of jetpack on his back, and attracted the sight of most of his comrades.
"Leave if you know what's good for you"
The man said, trying to intimidate them into getting out of his sight, his googles scanning the two monsters in front of him, he couldn't hide his surprise when he got a closer look at the purple dragon, Fusion monsters were a rare sight these days, and of the few ones he has seen so far, this one appeared to be the most intimidating, but what surprised him even more was what happened when he tried to scan the black dragon with spheres orbiting around him, his googles show a 'No Data Available' to appear, the voice of an apparent monster got him out of thoughts.
"There is no need to get alarmed, we just wanted to have a chat with you"
Every monster in the camp looked to be struck with astonishment, the voice came from the purple dragon! None of them had ever seen a dragon talk before, with the exception of two, one who was a backstabbing traitor and the second who was one of their best friends. Soon after the dragon talked, murmurs started to get through the camp, some monsters relaxing while others got their battle stances ready.
"Explain yourselves"
Junk Archer said, not aiming at Dark Rebellion anymore.
"You see; we are two of the monsters from the man who saved your master"
Dark Rebellion said with a calm, but strong voice, making any other monster that had a battling stance relax after hearing his words, but Junk Warrior was still dubious of his words.
"There is no proof that shows that you are his monsters, you could be some eavesdropping wyverns that want to fool us to get rid of us"
Junk Warrior smirked under his mask after seeing the reaction of the two, calling a real dragon by the name of wyvern always makes them show their true destructive instincts.
Starve Venom was ready to take the head of that purple skater, but he had to remind himself that this was not the time or place to 'get acquainted', looking at Dark Rebellion he saw that the floor under him was starting to break, but then calmed himself down after the same thought crossed through his mind.
"Please restrain yourself from using that word, we are true dragons, but the last thing we want is a fight, and I can assure you that our word is the complete truth"
Junk Warrior was not ready to believe them yet, sure they had control enough to maintain their ground, but the last dragon that 'gave his word' to him didn't had a problem taking away one of his most trusted friends.
"Why we should trust you in the first place?"
Dark Rebellion was waiting this question, and he already had the perfect answer to it.
"You shouldn't, it would be wiser to attack and get rid of two threat to your comrades"
Junk Warrior was speechless, was that really his answer?
"Then again, it would have been wiser for our user to leave your master in the middle of the corridor, patiently waiting until Security catch up to him, placing him in jail, but he didn't do it, and you know why? Because he never thought that this man was a bad person to begin with, he helped him because he felt that it was the correct thing to do, you can try and attack us if you really want to, but ask yourself, is it really the right thing to do?"
Junk Warrior stood speechless at his words, apparently the dragon in front of him were far more intelligent than he thought, and the power they were emanating was far greater than anything he had seen, rivaling that of the traitor… but.
"One chance. I am giving you both one chance, but try anything funny and you are done for"
The monsters at the gate were looking at the dragons with different eyes, not seeing some mindless dragons, but sentient beings that actually made Junk Warrior have a thought for himself. Junk Warrior however was having a hard time right now, some unknown dragon had lectured him in front of his comrades, and the worse of all is that he was right! Even though his brain was telling him that this was definitely a bad idea, his instinct was telling him to trust them.
"I hope I made the right decision"
