THE MOONLIGHT PROWL
[Caius P.O.V]
i must've fallen asleep at some point and now it's around 10pm, the sun is gone down, i guess i could go and look for the ghost, that wouldn't be a bad idea but... i don't know how the ability of his monsters work, i haven't studied those cards yet.
...I'm thirsty...
I walk to the kitchen quietly; i hear a noise as i go past Akiza's room. I freeze. What is that?
What? Is she moaning?! Is she having a nightmare? Probably, i walk into the kitchen and get a glass of water, jeez she's loud... must be one hell of a nightmare...
"Caius!"
One about me...
"Yes... Caius!"
Oh dear god no... Is she having one of THOSE dreams?
No i will not listen anymore... it sounds kind of... erotic...
I can't think about that.
I grab my helmet and go outside and grab my helmet on the way out, as i close the door i hear a high pitched moan. I don't think she's asleep at all anymore... i go down to Black Moon and wheel her quietly out of the garage before turning on the engine. I ride out onto the highway and notice something out of the ordinary, that's Jacks runner. He seems to notice me and something flashes up on my display, a duel request. Nice, a duel should get it out of my head.
I tap a button to accept the request and we swerve into the duel lane, something begins to glow on the floor, an infinity symbol. Oh shit. It's the ghost.
DUEL START: Caius VS: GHOST
I need to prep for this fast; i open a programme on my runner, the card database. I need to know the full extent of his monster's ability fast. Unless i could... i use the duel recording function of my runner to take a picture of the ghost's runner then i swerve off of the edge of the track and fall down into the streets and i check my display.
DUEL INVALID: CHALLENGE CANCELLED
Thank god, i ride to Yusei's at the speed limit, getting a look from a couple of officers but they don't pursue me. As soon as i arrive i see Yusei outside looking at the sky.
"Yusei! Where's jack!"
"Oh hey Caius, Jack's inside"
Jack walks out of the door holding his helmet "What's with the racket Yusei? Hey Brat, what're you doing here?"
"I have got some serious shit for Carly!"
"Ghost stuff?"
"You wouldn't even believe"
I show him the footage of the encounter. He looks livid, turns and walks over to a corner taking out a phone. Half an hour later Carly turns up looking like she just got out of bed. I show her the footage, she looks appalled and her eyes dart towards jack. "Not him, he was here the whole time" she looks back at me.
"What's that light on the ground? As soon as you left it, it disappeared"
"I get the feeling it was something like those Nazca lines that the dark signers used"
Carly slaps me "Don't talk about that!" well, that stung like a bitch. I apologise before i get slapped again. I leave the footage with her and head back to the apartment avoiding the highway; i get back around half past 11. I get a horrible feeling I'm forgetting something. No idea what, i wonder if Akiza's asleep i walk over to her room and open the door.
Well shit, that's what i was forgetting. She's sprawled on her bed completely naked, it's damn hot I'll admit but just as embarrassing, i notice her arm draped precariously, her hands just covering her...
I back out of the room closing the door silently. Well she wasn't dreaming earlier, why didn't i remember? Now i can't get the picture out of my head, that will... Does it count as haunting my dreams if i enjoy it? Either way it'll be there. I will not complain...
Cutting off my train of thought is the sound of a door handle, i turn to see Akiza and... Oh my god that is really distracting... Wait... oh dear god no... It's that lusty aura again... i cannot deal with this right now... although...
Before i can think i get dragged into her room and she pulls me into bed with her. The aura vanishes and she falls asleep. Thank Ra for fatigue. After a few minutes i drift into sub-consciousness.
I'm standing in a field dressed in my Turbo-Duel outfit but with additional light armour and some form of classic duel disk... and a sword. Where am i? I look at my surroundings and notice something immediately. A goddamned kuribon... the actual fuck? Wait, that's Luna's right? I sense another set of eyes on me, turning around i see Luna.
"Luna?"
"Caius?"
"Where are we?"
"Uhh, this is sort of... where duel monster spirits live..."
"Holy Ra..." That explains the duel disk... i take a card from my deck and look at it. Palladium Oracle Mahad. Placing it on my duel disk i notice that instead of the usual display i just see the air warp and he appears almost as if he teleported.
"Wha-? Where am i? Oh, my liege, how did you attain access to this world?" wow, my cards know me after all.
"To be honest Mahad, no idea. Luna do you know how i got here?"
She shakes her head keeping her eyes on my sword. "What's with the sword?"
I take it from the sheath and look at it; it seems to have something on the blade. Oh. That's new.
"It's made of equip spells..." i even see the symbol for an equip spell engraved at the base of the blade. Huh...
"If you do not require my immediate assistance i take my leave sir" Mahad seems to teleport away and i put his card back in my deck.
"Caius..."
"Uhh Luna?"
"I heard it; it's probably one of your closest monsters, by the way..."
"Yeah?" what now? I wonder if it's a dream
"That armour makes you look kind of like Twilight Rose Knight"
Two thoughts cross my mind: one, Coslpay level: one thousand. Secondly, i remember seeing Akiza lying on her bed... i guess i was right when i said it would remind me of her... Wait, it isn't possible to consciously think in a dream. I'm really in the spirit world.
"Caius..."
What is that?
"Hear me... Caius..."
"Should we check that out Caius?"
"Yes Luna, we should"
We begin walking, i just follow her, and she goes into a kind of trance. She leads me through a forest and into a barren clearing. I know this place... There are boxes and cages everywhere. It seems like the kind of place you would see a dragon...
"Thank you Luna, You successfully brought him here" i look in front of us and see a familiar sight. A giant dragon with two heads, both controlled by the central body. Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons.
"Beelze, hello" there is no need for fear. I've known Beelze a long, long time.
"Caius, we are in need of your help" Luna looks at me
"Caius i need to get home, Leo will get worried, see ya" she vanishes leaving me with Beelze. I'm not even going to ask about how she got out of here.
"Beelze, what do you need my help for?"
"Caius, earlier today you encountered a certain duellist who imitates the wielder of the Red Dragon Archfiend"
"The ghost..."
"His monster, it absorbs my brethren"
"I know that it can absorb synchro monsters, it's why i didn't duel him"
"You need to find a way to stop him, to save this world"
"What do you mean? This world?"
"Whenever he absorbs a monster, it's energy disappears from this world, and it's life"
"WHAT?"
