AN: Hey everyone, me again! I would like to wish everyone a happy holidays! Especially Larix959 for reviewing every chapter of this story. Thank you so much! ^ ^ I'm also putting my sister's favorite song in here to make her happy. The song, A sadness runs through him by The Hoosiers
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh Zexal or the song used. But I do own Azura right?
In the last chapter we learned that Don Thousand has a sister named Azura but no brother and that her and Astral had a child and named it Tai Shirudo.
" Wait! " Akari exclaimed. " Does this mean that you're little friend is really Astral's kid!? "
" Hell no! " Vector shouted.
Akari looked at him in confusion" But you said that - "
" But that's not Shirudo! " Vector interrupted, pointing at the golden Shirudo. " Shirudo's armor was black and red, not gold! "
" Okay! " Akari shouted back with her hands raised in surrender. " It must just be a coincidence. Then what does he look like? "
Vector was about to speak when a strange bracelet that looked a lot like the collar around #96's neck formed on his wrist. " W-What the hell is this!? " He began tugging on it violently to try to get it off but it would not budge. Ir suddenly began to grow a dark purple color and cover the entire memory, when it faded they were in what looked like a throne room with large red crystals in it.
" No way! " said Marin in amazement. " This is Vector's throne room! But how? "
As if to answer her question the bracelet gave a much smaller glow that seemed to turn into a jumbled hologram that cleared to a miniature Kagami. " You! " Gilag screamed.
" Why hello there! " Kagami said through the hologram. " This is a prerecorded message. Just wanted to tell you that since there are always more than one sides to a story if a memory relevant to what I wan you to learn is remember by any of you a bracelet like this will appear to show it. Bye for now! " He gave a little wave and smirk before the hologram completely disappeared.
" So this is Vector's memory? " stated Akari. " So that must be Vector. "
Everyone turned to see Vector in hid Barian form sitting in his throne. Everyone hers him mumble a small " Where is he!? "
" Yeah. " Said Alit. " But how did you know? "
" The hair. " Akari said. ( That's all it took for me to figure it out. )
Suddenly there was a sound like distant screaming before a portal opened up above him and another Barian came crashing down on top of him and sending both falling out of the throne. Vector sprawled out on his back with the other Barian laying face first across him. The Barian on top sat up real quick and started to help Vector up. " Vector, I am so sorry! It was an accident I swear! "
" Of course it was. " The other Vector said with more than a hint of sarcasm as he got up. Just to have the other one fall flat on its back. This way they could clearly see that the smaller Barian had the usual robe the Barian emperors wore except trimmed with red. His eyes were also a deep red color. He then put both hands on the ground and flipped himself into a standing position while the other Vector think Show off. " You okay Shirudo? "
" Never better! " The other Barian said cheerfully. Even though he didn't have a mouth you could see how big his smile was in his eyes. " Are you ready for today's lesson? "
Vector shrugged. " I guess. " But his thought gave an exited I've only been waiting all day!
" Alright! " Said Shirudo, losing non of his enthusiasm. " Let's see how you are with condensing energy. "
The other Vector held his hands close to each other without them quite touching. He then seemed to go deep into concentration to the point that you could see him start sweat a little. A blue formed then formed in his hands and he breathed a sigh of relief. " Totally easy! " The other Vector said, wheezing slightly.
" What is he showing you how to do? " Shark asked.
Vector rubbed the back of his neck. " Well, you see, Shirudo was actually the one who taught me how to make clones. "
" You didn't know? " Asked Akari.
" Well Shirudo was closest to Vector. " Durbe pointed out.
Everyone turned back when the heard Shirudo giggled. " Yep! You're a natural! Now try to put the energy into a shape. " He said happily. " Now condense into a form. Since it's your first time probably something small and inanimate. "
The other Vector went back to his concentration and was able to create a small Barian crystal in between his hands. " Not bad huh? " He said in between heavy pants. " I'm just gonna lay down now. " He then fell to the floor still panting.
" Are you okay!? " Shirudo came rushing to his side. Vector gave a thumbs up and Shirudo playful hit his arm. " Don't scare me like that! I told you not to over do it! "
" Yeah, Yeah " The other Vector said waving it off. He then looked off to the side. " Hey, Shirudo. "
" Yeah, Vector? " Shirudo responded.
" Can You sing it again? " He asked almost to quiet for anyone to hear.
" Of course. " Shirudo said with a content voice. He then started to singing in a heavenly voice. " People are puppets held together with string. There's a beautiful sadness that runs threw him. As he asked me to pray to the god he doesn't believe in. Time and again boys are raised to be men. Impatient the start, fearful they end. But here was a man, mourning tomorrow. He drank but finally, drowned in his sorrow. He could not break surface tension. He looked in the wrong place for redemption. Don't, look at me with those eyes. I tried to unheave the ties. Turn back the time that drew him. But he couldn't be saved, a sadness runs threw him. "
As the song started to end it faded as the other Vector fell asleep and everything faded to white. " That was Shirudo. " Is all that the real Vector said.
" Shirudo, Shirudo. That's all I've been hearing about lately. Well just who the hell is he!? " Everyone turned to #96 in confusion.
" Wait, what do you mean all you've been hearing about? " Durbe asked
#96 rolls his eyes. " Well first that crazy Kagami guy screams at me about hurting him and now there's thi- "
But before #96 could could finish Vector had him pushed against the side of the memory's barrier screaming " You hurt Shirudo!? "
" Does this mean you know where he is too? " Asked Shark
#96 seemed shocked at the sudden outburst. " What? No! I didn't even know who he was until Kagami accused me of hurting him and attacking me!Then I agreed to not kill Astral or cause trouble before whatever plan he had was complete, he gave me the collar and put me back to sleep! Next thing I knew he's telling me to come here! "
Suddenly the black collar around #96's neck started glowing a dark purple color like Vector's bracelet did.
" What's happening!? " Mizael asked, obviously starting to panic.
" It seems another memory has activated! " Astral screamed his reply.
AN: Well that's all for now.
