So yeah Three updates within the span of a week, man I am on a roll but that is the small calm before the Christmas week were everyone goes shopping, start cooking and putting up decorations at the last minute (Already have done two of the above lol?) Also thanks again to FateLover, Warrior of Six Blades and duskider for their Reviews and idea thanks seeing them motivates me to keep on writing and gives me ideas on what I should write so thanks. So yeah here is the new chapter sorry there is no duel but with Pegasus here some of the Cannon Duels are thrown out the window though I will state that Aster is planning on Giving Jayden a rematch
"I believe in ghosts, even though I've never seen one before and get this. I don't believe in anyone of the people that have said they seen one before. It's kind of like how I think about the concept of love. Like I believe one day I'll fall in love, get married and live happily ever after, even though I've never actually fallen in love with anyone yet. You see what I'm saying? For some people falling in love is like second nature, but I can't even relate to that. So if I've never fallen in love before is it real? And that makes me wonder if ghost are real. I haven't seen one yet so maybe they're not." -Minori Kushieda, Tadora
Hakuno lounged with Chazz and the others in the black jacketed Slifer's addition to the Slifer Red Dorm. Bastion was reviewing past duels and coming up with several strategies on how he could improve his duelling capabilities, Hassle Berry was with his discussing it and informing the Ra Yellow some things that Bastion had not considered. Alexis was sitting down reading a magazine while Syrus sat elsewhere reading a manga that the Chazz had ordered delivered to him. Chazz and Hakuno were eating popcorn as the two Duel Spirit seeing duelists were watching 'The Life and Death of Ojama Yellow' live and up close in person.
What Chazz had referred to was Gilgamesh laughing like a maniac while unleashing the Gate of Babylon on Ojama yellow who he forced to dodge it for the King of Heroes amusement. Gilgamesh made sure to ensure that the treasures he fired at Ojama Yellow were not fatal as they would go fast enough for the Ojama to barely be able to dodge. Chazz seemed to be greatly enjoying this despite the fact that Ojama Yellow was his card as he would have cheered Gilgamesh on but Hakuno had warned the arrogant Slifer about the King of Heroes reaction if he had. Needless to say that was enough motivation for Chazz to not cheer Gilgamesh and be content with watching the King of Heroes attack the yellow mutant. Still the former NPC could not deny it, watching Ojama Yellow scream in it's rather irritating squeaky voice as it was forced to flee for it's life was rather entertaining, though it was also a little cruel.
Speaking of Ojama's green Archer and Red Archer as Chazz had nicknamed the two of them had come back looking rather pleased with themselves though Robin Hood had accused EMIYA of cheating due to his tracing ability. The Archer Hakuno had faced Moon Cell with had been rather unapologetic about it saying that the parameters were only that the one who had the most arrows in their chosen Ojama would win. Hakuno did admit that was a lot like Archer though the other Servant of the bow was able to shrug it all of and simply say that it was satisfying to hunt the Ojama in any case. Hakuno noticed a trend that was occurring here and wondered if any of the other Heroic Spirits would pick up on this trend and then line up to have their time hurting Ojama's. Hakuno looked at Gilgamesh as the King of Heroes stood their in his golden armour laughing and knew that Gilgamesh was not going to share.
Gilgamesh stopped laughing and the shimmering golden portals behind the Heroic Spirit vanished. "I'll call it a day for now" the King of Heroes stated. "Mongrel see to it that you do not tire as quickly like this time or I will really voice my displeasure next time when we do this tomorrow" Gilgamesh informed the yellow Ojama who quivered at the prospect while shrank away from the King of Heroes before fading out.
Walking over to them the King of Heroes sat down and then looked Chazz dead in the eye. "Mongrel leave us, The words I am about to speak are for Hakuno's ears alone" he commanded. Gilgamesh's Charisma was high enough that it felt like a godly compulsion so Chazz got up and went to another part of the room though he did so a little grudgingly. Once Chazz had left Gilgamesh said in a soft voice so that only the two of them could hear what he was saying "You already know to be cautious of that man named Maximillion Pegasus" The King of Heroes stated. "I must congratulate you beginning the process to of learning to enjoy pleasurable things." Gilgamesh complimented Hakuno. "As you know I am the king so I must be first in everything" he explained "that Man Sartorius while is no threat to me or any Heroic Spirit is planning something big."
Hakuno nodded "he brainwashes people to serve him so there are many theories as to his goal." The Former NPC saw a slight look of irritation come into Gilgamesh's eyes.
"Though it vexes me to say this the faker is most probably right when he says that the man Sartorius is being influenced by some outside source" Gilgamesh stated much to his own ire. "I suspect that this entities goal is world domination or total destruction, As the king I cannot let this come to pass" Gilgamesh explained.
"I know we cannot let it come to pass but remember Gil we're practically aliens here" Hakuno whispered. "This isn't earth it only resembles it" he reminded.
"I know" Gilgamesh replied. "I know, however it still resembles my garden" he stated "I confess that this confuses me as I do not recall there being any worlds that are the exact same in according to the natural order of the universe."
"Gil" Hakuno addressed him in the manner that only he was allowed anyone else would have been killed for the familiarity. "Is it impossible under your laws?" the former NPC asked.
Gilgamesh blinked. "You're right" he stated. "I never decreed it couldn't be so it can be so" the King of Heroes reasoning was beyond that of almost anyone else's, only two had ever understood him. One was a Heroic Spirit himself known to the world as Enkidu, Gilgamesh had named the Chains of Heaven in honour of his fallen friend, the other stood before him or more accurately sat net to him.
"Still should we take the fight to him?" Hakuno asked without a doubt the heroic Spirits even if it was just one of them could deal with Sartorius.
"It is dangerous to make a move while that mongrel Maximillion Pegasus is watching" Gilgamesh warned. "While I fell that his intentions are not of the malign nature I will tell you to be cautious,"
Hakuno nodded and replied "Okay." While Gilgamesh could be incredibly arrogant he would not just say something, even a passing comment made by the King of Heroes could be relevant at a later date.
"So for now we wait until the Pretender returns, Though I do believe that Forgetful is a better title for the fool, though Jester does describe him personality" Gilgamesh stated showing his slightly low opinion of Jayde's personality
Hakuno's dreams that night were less than peaceful at first, though it was also a little if not extremely bizarre. The Former NPC found himself in the school that he had been in in Moon Cell only that it was people from Duel Academy attending it.
"Alright class" Professor Crowler said as he twirled into the room. "I now you're all excited for your first daw of school." Hakuno found that he was not completely surprised at the fact that the former acting Chancellor was dressed in a pink ballet dress. ""I'm sure all of you know me but I am Professor Vellian Crowler your drama teacher" he explained. "And to day we are going to jump straight into the Ballet Lessons" Crowler stated leaping up into the air doing a ridiculous pose.
Hakuno did not know what to make of it so he acted like everything was normal. The (false) day progressed like a regular school day until it hit the second lunch break when they had lined up at the cafeteria for some reason. "Hey come on Hakuno I herd that today they are serving a special dessert of the students choice" Jayden statted in his usual cheerful manner.. Hakuno id hope that jayden, the real Jayden was okay wherever Caster's instructions had taken him
"No duh slacker" Chazz snarked at him in his usual manner "Today is Kishinami day the Chancellor herself decreed it?" the black jacketed Slifer explained.
"I the Chancellor Sempai?" Hakuno asked a little confused. "I thought that Maximillion Sensei was a guy" the Former NPC stated a little confused.
"Why would the Ancient history teacher be the Chancellor?" Jaden asked. "Man Hakuno you seem a little out of it today you feel alright?" He did seem genuinely concerned.
"Yeah you seem a little off" Chazz stated. "Perhaps you need to head to the nurse's office?" the black jacketed Slifer suggested. That would be the last thing Hakuno would do if this was anything like Moon Cell
"Uh no thanks I'm fine" Hakuno replied. Really the Nurse's office that was were Sakura would be if he remembered correctly though perhaps there was some slim chance that Fontaine Sensei was the one in charge of it but the former NPC doubted that highly. Perhaps it may even be BB who was the school nurse though Hakuno suspected that she would be the principle or as the others had called the position chancellor. The victor of the Moon Cell Grail War and Sakura Labyrinth did wonder if he had jinxed himself in case this was a normal dream, even though it didn't appear to be normal.
This notion was discarded however when one of the students approached Hakuno and told him that the Chancellor will be coming in person shortly to come pick him up and that he should wait outside. "Well what do you know freshman looks like the Chancellor finds you an interesting student" Chazz. "Well you better not hid or she'll find you" he stated in a very uncharacteristic manner.
Seeing as he had not choice Hakuno decided to head outside the school were he waited just undercover. He noticed that the sky was just plain white like it had been in Moon Cell. That was when the earth began to shake violently as if an earthquake was occurring. What was worse that the ground felt as if it was being pushed downwards causing Hakuno to fall over and be tossed around. Finally the earthquake or what seemed to be one stopped and the former NPC was able to pick himself. Hakuno noticed things were a little darker as he dusted himself off. "Well I am glad that that is over" he said. Hakuno then felt a tingling sensation as he realised that this was a perfect copy of the school in Moon Cell and the sky in Moon Cell was white with no clouds. While all of the former NPC's instincts were screaming for him to run, Hakuno managed to control himself, knowing that it wouldn't matter if he did run and managed turned his head head to look at the sky.
Staring down at his was a humongous sized face of Sakura that's left eye was covered in bandages and her face was outlined with them. Her head was easily bigger than the school building former Npc did not have any clue how he had not noticed her long hair hanging around all over it. "Peek a boo" the giant Sakura spoke her voice while sounding like Sakura's much louder and caused the ground to vibrate. "I see you" The giant bandaged Sakura stated, her one visible eye was fixed intently, longingly and possessively at Hakuno who could almost feel the pressure from the gaze.
"This cannot be good" Hakuno thought. The look in who he suspected of being one of the remaining Sakura Five members who's presence by far was the strongest. Not to mention her huge size terrified the former NPC.
"My" the giant member of the Sakura five continued what she was saying "Sweet. Little. Sempai." The giant member of the Sakura five said this sounding even more dangerous with each passing second.
Hakuno couldn't help but notice how she had said the last four words making an emphasis on each word, especially little. Though there was one word running through his mind that ran out and was clearly called for in this type of situation "Shit!"
"I. Found You. Sempai" the Giant Sakura stated as a giant hand hand came downwards towards him. The Former NPC couldn't help but notice parts of her hand were covered in moss even as it closed off poits of escape. "Please. Wait. For. Me. Okay?" the gigantic member of the Sakura five asked as she dug her fingers into the ground in attempt to life Hakuno up.
The NPC did wait and ran into the school building as fast as he could, but only because it was the only place where he hand wasn't blocking. It was a good thing that this member of the Sakura five did decide to flatten her palm dow onto the ground otherwise Hakuno wouldn't have been so luck. In short he may have been a stain on the dirt. Even if this was a dream the former NPC had no intention of dying.
"Geez" the Giant Sakura said rather fondly "You aren't going to keep on running are you?" she asked as he hand went into the room Hakuno had just entered from. "Hakuno Sempai?" the giant member of the Sakura five called out where are you?" she asked in a very sweet voice. Hakuno himself had just avoided one of her giant fingers.
"Her hands are too big to grab me" the Former NPC noted as he ran. Hakuno stopped briefly to catch his breath as this had been a close call, the victor of the Moon Cell Grail war doubted that having a Heroic Spirit with him would make the situation any easier. As most probably it would take Gilgamesh utilising Ea and Enuma Elish on this Alter Ego do defeat it most probably.
Hakuno then froze as he turned to the side and Say a massive purple eye staring intently and fondly at him. "I. Found. You" the Member of the Sakura five stated as her hand came through the wall of the building and picked him up.
Hakuno almost swore as he was lifted up in the strong fingers of the giant Sakura and realised what was happening when she raised him over her and opened her mouth before letting him fall into it. THen he saw only the vast blackness as he drifted from being conscious.
Hakuno blinked as he felt himself collide with a hard cold surface. "Sorry about that Sempai" a voice spoke out causing the former NPC to spin around. "It's just when I saw you I got so excited and couldn't help myself" a very young looking Sakura explained. She was a little girl who's purple hair was longer that she was tall and she also happened to also be levitating in the air with her feet not touching the ground, but her hair did. Her hands were held together in a hopeful position akin to praying agains her chest and she wore a small little dress that didn't cover her elbows leaving the last top part of her torso bare. For all to see not that it mattered.
Hakuno noted that this little girl who also resembled Sakura was also covered in bandages all over like the one from before, She also was apologising for the events that had happened so there was only one conclusion, this tiny little child was also the huge giant that had eaten him. Still she was apologising about it and had at least spat him out SO Hakuno decided no to hold it against her, not that he would have in any case. He enjoyed not being eaten of chewed. Dusting off his uniform so it could look as presentable as possible Hakuno extended his hand to the mini Sakura who had been gigantic before speaking. "It's nice to meet you, I am Hakuno Kishinami" he stated "What is your name."
To the NPC's surprise the seemed to squeal a little in delight as she held her face as she blushed "Sempai's so polite" she managed shyly." before leaping onto Hakuno and wrapping the former Npc in a hug. "As you know I am am member of the Sakura five" she explained. "My sisters and mother call me Kingprotea" it appeared that Kingprotea was not the humongous giant who was seen on the inside but a little girl who was starving for both attention and affection.
Hakuno felt bad he had been running away from her since she was kind and gentle at heart. This meant that it was even more Tragic for Kingprotea because like Passionlip she was a gentle soul whose only talent seemed that it was to destroy things. So Hakuno returned the hug that the little Kingprotea was giving him. Though he did feel her grip on him harden a little more, but only slightly.
"Thank you Sempai" Kingprotea said as tears could be felt running down the little Alter Ego's cheeks. "Violet-san came and scolded me earlier for eating you, Why is it that my own sister are mean to me?" The Alter Ego was really crying a river.
Hakuno could not see this as her face was deeply pressed against his torso but he could his shirt and blazer getting wet even though this was a dream. Hakuno corrected himself this was akin to a dream not entirely like it as there were parameters that dream had that what he experienced with the Alter Ego's never occurred or were broken. The former NPC reasoned it was because of the nature of the Alter Ego's that it was like this though the thought of never waking up did unnerve Hakuno more than he would like. Then Again perhaps Gilgamesh or one of the others would do something to forcibly wake him up if it was possible.
"But Sempai loves me don't you Sempai" Kingprotea stated more than asked. In fact she seemed completely confident in what she had just said. "Semapi is the only one who is kind to me and pays attention to me" Kingprotea seemed to really believe this. "Sempai is the only one that understands" she stated. "So I will do anything for Sempai" Kingprotea declared. The little Alter ego then gave more sobs though Hakuno did not know why.
"What's wrong?" the Former NPC asked the Alter Ego "Did something bad happen?" Hakuno had to admit he was a tad bit concerned for the little girl who just before had attempted to eat him.
"Nothing bad happened" Kingprotea said between sniffs. "It's just that I am so happy to be with Sempai, now Sempai has to leave and wake up so I will be all alone" she explained. The Alter ego at this point broke into tears even more so than before at this point. It really seemed that Kingprotea realydidn't want Hakuno to leave her alone.
Feeling extremely guilty that he had to wake up once again Hakuno stroked the little Alter Ego's head "There, there" he comforted her as he pulled her into a hug once again. "I can come back and visit you any time you like" the former NPC suggested. "Or I could take you with me?" Hakuno suggested. While he was not sure about all of it he couldn't leaver in good conscience crying alone. That would be cruel on so many levels.
"Really Sempai?" Kingprotea asked looking hopefully at him. "You would take me with you like you do with Melt and Lip?"
It took a moment for Hakuno to realise that she was talking about Meltlilith and Passionlip. Though the nicknames should have been obvious "Absolutely" he replied with a warm smile that seemed to be like a ray of sunshine to the little Alter Ego. "You can stay with me wherever I go." Hakuno kew at some point he would regret this but unfortunately his conscience demanded that he take her with him to prevent Kinprotea from crying and help her smile.
"Thank you" Kingprotea said as she tightened her hug on Hakuno "Thank you Sempai" It seemed that the Alter Ego was so happy she was not regulating her strength properly.
"Can't breathe" Hakuno wheezed. "Bone's being fractured into tiny pieces and then ground into powder" he managed as the former NPC could have sworn that he heard his bones creak and crack.
"Kingprotea" the stern and mature voice of Violet rang out addressing her fellow Alter Ego "I know you are excited to be spending time with Hakuno and the fact that he is taking you with him is very exciting, but that doesn't mean that you have to crush him to show your affection" Violet explained though she did so with a softer edge to her voice.
Kingprotea immediately stoped crushing Hakuno and started apologising "I'm so sorry Sempai I didn't mean to" she tsated as the very neglected girl started crying.
Hakuno knew why Kingprotea was crying and put a hand to her face wiping of her tears that were running down the Alter Ego's cheeks. "Don't worry your perfect the way you are." he told the Alter Ego while he gently stoked her head. "And don't let anyone else tel you any different."
Hakuno had to admit that his second meeting with Kingprotea had gone better than the first one. Though the this would be like comparing the size of the earth to the size of the sun. Hakuno didn't understand why Violet had stated that she would be coming along to make sure nothing happened but decided to accept it anyway. When the Former NPC had awoken he had found three cards on his chest, two of them were Kingprotea as it seemed her outer and inner forms had separate cards. He stashed Violet away in his pocket where Passionlip and Meltlilith were being kept however he place Kingprotea in a separate one as he felt that this Alter Ego needed some special treatment though Hakuno was unsure if he should use any of them in a duel. Still Kingprotea seemed to require some attention that would make her feel special so Hakuno decided on giving it to her even though he believed that as an Alter Ego the only one she was nice to was him thus she could be dangerous to the others if the Alter Ego perceived their interactions to be too hostile or too friendly she may go on warpath though Hakuno believed that the Alter Ego would just step on them in the literal sense more than anything else. Still that was something that he would have to tell the Alter Ego to avoid doing as he did enjoy the others company even if they were a little eccentric at times.
When Hakuno went down to the Dorms eating area he saw a man in in his late thirties to early forties sitting there with an entire full course five star meal ready for the Students."Good morning Sartyr Sensei" the former NPC greeted with a polite bow. As usual the Councillor for the Ra Yellow Dorm burst into tears. While Hakuno did not know why the man did so he always felt bad that he had caused his teacher to cry. "Sensei, I do not know what I have done to sadden you but please beg of you forgive me?" Hakuno bowing low apologising to him.
"What no" Professor Srtyr stated in surprise "I do not weep in sadness but in joy" he informed Hakuno. "Kishinami, You are the only one in the entire of Duel Academy who even talks to me on a daily basis even if it is only in passing" Professor Sartyr explained. "After four years of teaching here my students still don't know I exist or my name" it seemed that this was a big deal to the teacher. It also gladdened Hakuno that he had made someone's day just by talking to them though it did remind him a tiny bit of what the Alter Ego's were like, though that was only a little.
"Well Sensei I am glad to have been the one to make your day feel worthwhile" the former NPC stated "Truly it is an honour to be so highly valued by one's teacher. Hakuno stated with another polite bow. "Sensei what is with this food here?" Hakuno asked "Are we throwing a part or something?" Indeed the amount of high quality food that he saw was definitely indicated that they were celebrating something.
"He worked all afternoon and late last night to cook all of it" Archer stated. "Perhaps I should have helped the man" the Heroic Spirit mused. "I could have certainly given him a few tips, though he does rather admirably on his own."
"Well we planned to throw a party to celebrate you victory earlier against Atticus" Professor Sartyr explained. "But it seemed everyone forgot about the cooking part of it so I was forced to do it alone" the councillor for the Ra Yellow dorm said with a sad sigh. "But let us not dwell on that" he stated. "Your fellow Ra Yellows are waking up so let us celebrate so you can all be full and ready for whatever the new acting Chancellor has planned for today."
Hakuno briefly considered something before asking "Professor? Is it alright if I invite my friends from Slifer Red and Obelisk Blue as well?" He didn't want to leave the others feeling left out.
Professor Sartyr stroked his chin for but a moment before responding "By all means go they are your friends as you say and they are welcome this morning."
"Thank you Sensei" Hakuno replied with a polite bow "this really means a lot to me." Then the Former Npc departed to go wake up Bastion and the others who were remaining in the Slifer Red Dorm until Jayden returned though with Pegasus in charge it wasn't really necessary.
Sartyr watched Hakuno go with a smile on his face "What a model student indeed." he noted "I am still unsure of why we have to monitor him so much when he is the perfect student a teacher could as for. Genuinely respectful with out having an ulterior motive. Showing up to class on time and actually participating in class by asking questions that would make even the teacher think, I can See why Professor Stein rather enjoys having him in his lectures." Professor gave a tired sigh "You know when I first came to Japan he is what I thought the students would be like" he stated. "Well at least it's good at least one of them is how they're supposed to be" the professor mused.
Bastion and the others were very grateful that Hakuno had invited them to breakfast at the Ra Yellow Dorm. After which they too went personally and thanked professor Sartyr for making the food, though it took Hakuno directing them to the good professor but still the man was happy that some of the other students also met and paid attention to him. Though it was slightly sad that Bastion did not know who he was after a year of perfect attendance. Still being acknowledged by his students when Hakuno called the entire dorm to attention and asked that they thanked him their 'Sensei' for cooking for them was rather nice for him.
Somewhere on the Island of Duel Academy a brown haired boy woke up after the most bizarre occurrence where he had duelled an alien with an alien that was a dolphin. So Jayden Yuki's head was a little confused with all of this as he was not much of a thinker like his friend Bastion or his new friend Hakuno. "Man Where am I?" he asked himself as Duel Academy was nowhere insight.
"A very far place off from where you should be" A new voice answered. Turning around Jayden saw a man in a green attire with a dark green hood who was armed with some sort of bow in his hands.
Jayden blinked and then realised that he was not looking at a person to be more accurate he was looking at a Duel Spirit. "Hey there" Jayden greeted the Duel Spirit in a rather carefree manner "Do you know the way back to Duel Academy?"
The Duel Spirit smiled underneath his hood. "As a matter of fact I do" the Duel Spirit replied. "My friend Hakuno asked me to come and find you when you returned" he explained.
"You're one of Hakuno's cards?" Jayden asked. Seeing Heroic Spirit nod Jayden then said "Sweet, though I wonder why does Hakuno have such awesome cards?" Jayden seemed to get over that quickly though. "Oh b the way thanks for finding me I really appreciate it man"
"No problem" the hooded Heroic Spirit stated. "By the way you can call me Archer" he stated.
"Wow cool you're like a Robin Hood like guy" Jayden stated looking at the Heroic Spirit's choice of attire.
Archer himself felt rather awkward because he was a Robin hood and this kid had just guessed his identity without so much of a second thought. Sighing the Heroic Spirit realised that while he may have shortened the boys path back to Duel Academy this little trip for him was going to be rather long for him. Though he supposed for the chatty teenage boy with the dormant power that rivalled that of Gilgamesh's or Karna's it was going to be in his terms a 'sweet ride'.
"So" Kaiba began as Pegasus informed him of what he had planned for the day "Yesterday you met face to face with Sartorius who seemed to be trying to recruit some of the students for his cause."
Pegasus nodded "Right you are Kaiba boy, like you told me I had him monitored but it seemed that was unnecessary" the creator of the modern dual monster system stated irritating Kaiba with his antics and how he emphasised the sixth last word.
Seto Kaiba did an impressive job of not losing his composure then and there "So he was driven off by an unknown Duel spirit that had taken it upon itself to drive Sartorius off am I right."
"Ding ding" Pegasus stated in a flamboyant manner "We have a winner, Kaiba boy you really are on a role today" he congratulated Kaiba while somehow also getting under the other mans skin. He was extremely talented at the latter.
"Yes I have received the reports but what do you make of it?" Kaiba asked. "What was the first hand information that you received compared to the third to fourth rate accounts I was given?"
Pegasus suddenly turned serious "Sartorius had been attacked with a rain of swords at first that had clipped and cut him as he avoided them" Pegasus explained. "While the sudden appearance of these blades from nowhere is interesting I am more concerned with what happened next" he stated. "As you most probably know words were spoken like some sort of chant. I suspect that it was most probably the Heroic Spirit chanting this"
"Something to do with swords and madness" Kaiba stated as he hadn't really received anything worth of note from the account that had bee n mailed to him.
"I am the bone of my Sword" Pegasus repeated what he had been told had been said. While I do not know what this means exactly I was able to gleam something from what was was said next." Pegasus closed his eye before repeating the words "My Core is Twisted in madness, Caladbolg, Fake Spiral Sword." Pegaus finished repeating it "Well what do you think Kaiba boy?" he asked.
"I think your are wasting time" Kaiba replied before he paused. "Why does that word you said that was a line unto itself sound somewhat familiar?"
"That is because it is the sword of Fergus mac Róich and Furgas mac Léti from Irish mythology, to be more specific it is from the Ulster Cycle" Pegasus explained. "I am surprised you know of it."
"The last part of the name reminded me of the card that Hakuno Kishinami equips to his Lancer monster" Kaiba stated. "Gae Bulg or something like that."
"It's called Gáe Bolg" Pegasus corrected him "and if it is the real thing then Kaiba boy I suggest that you stay as far away from it as possible." Pegasus While was more of an ancient Egypt themes person when it came to myths and history it didn't mean that he neglected the other areas in the world and their own myths since it could come in handy. "Apparently that spear was wielded by the hound of Ulster himself and it is said to always strike at it's targets heart." Pegasus explained.
"That does lend credit to it's effects" Kaiba mused about what heh ad seen from that card. "But we are getting off track what is this Caladbolg, you keep referring to?"
"Glad you asked, it is as the chant stated a spiral sword, apparently it held the power to slice of the tops of hills and destroy entire armies" Pegasus explained. "Now after hearing this does that explosion sound rather in place as it were."
Kaiba nodded before he realised something that Pegasus had been deliberately waiting for him to realise on his own. "Wait normal people can't see Duel Spirits let alone hear them speak!" he exclaimed. "How is this possible?"
"That I am unsure of Kaiba boy" Pegasus replied. "What I do know is that somehow normal Duelist who can't see Duel Spirits were able to at least hear one and see its weapons of choice." Pegasus now paused his face serious and concerned "While I myself am unsure could it be that we are dealing with an entirely new brand of Duel Spirit?" It seemed reasonable despite how bizarre and ridiculous it sounded.
Kaiba then had to resist the urge to facepalm of course it made a lot more sense now how had he not seen it. "The Duel Spirit Moon Cell Gilgamesh as Hakuno Kishinami refers to him as, He was able to utilise the card the Gate of Babylon before Hakuno even revealed him in a duel three days before the boy entered duel academy" the extremely frustrated number two of the duelling world stated.
"Still the Shadow Games are a possibility" Pegasus stated. Before Kaiba could ask what Pegasus was referring to the head of Industrial Illusion continued "As you have seen all the cards that Kishinami boy has used are not real monster cards"
"What do you mean by 'not real' monster cards?" Kaiba asked his eyes narrowing as he was confused with what Pegasus was getting at. "I don't see how their not real monsters."
"To be more precise all of them are too human even the one who was named after Elizabeth Báthory as they are all Duel Spirits, not to mention that the only card manufacturers are you and myself and neither of us or our employees designed or made them" Pegasus began. "So that got me thinking perhaps the Shadow Games Kishinamo boy was in was slightly different than the ones we are familiar with."
"Different how?" Kaiba seemed to be interested in what Pegasus had to say as the man was unusually serious, though given what he was speaking of of course the man would be.
"Well perhaps the Shadow Game that we suspect Hakuno Kishinami of participating in was not the one created by the ancient Egyptian priests" Pegasus suggested. "Perhaps, it was one only related to them due to the fact that the loser would suffer some harsh form of damage or even possibly death for being defeated." Pegasus paused letting Kaiba take all this in.
"So perhaps they had a different system with who fought perhaps like how many of Hakuno's cards that we have seen have one's with similar names that are completely different." he mused.
"Exactly and instead of using monsters the system decided to use something that was far greater and more powerful than it." Pegasus stated.
"what do you mean?" Kaiba asked "What could be more possibly stronger than having the monsters on your side?" Seto asked before he recalled the card that actually had a name and the words that had come before it. "You can't be suggesting?"
Pegasus nodded "I don't have to Kaiba boy, Kishinami boy has already shown us through the use of his Duel Spirits in while he duelled." The man seemed to take in a deep breathe of air feeling his age for once "The System that whatever was similar to the Shadow games that Kishinami boy was victorious in did not use Monsters" Pegasus gave a grim look. "No to fight between them they used what have trumped monsters throughout the ages" Kaiba's look of disbelief showed how Pegasus himself felt at the moment about this revelation. "And those you defeat monsters are known to us as Heroes."
Omake
Seto Kaiba was not having a good day, first off he was in some weird sort of school that he was supposed to attend and whats more was that he had noticed that the sky was a blank white. "What is going on here?" he asked himself. Suddenly the ground shook and he heard the sound of a girl laughing cheerfully in resonance with the mini earthquake.
"Sempai, sempai, I'm with my sempai" the femal voice sun,. Kaiba found a girl with purple hair and purple eyes who was over fifteen feet tall covered with bandages dancing around with a youth in her hands.
Seto Kaiba identified the youth as none other than Hakuno Kishinami. While Kaiba really didn't care too much for the boy he couldn't let the brown haired teen be crushed to death by accident due to the large girl dancing around carelessly. "You there" he addressed the Purple haired Giant who had no sense of decency to wear actual clothes. "Release Kishinami now" he demanded.
In response the Giant girl looked at him and stuck her tongue out. "Make me little man" she challenged.
Kaiba's eyes narrowed in anger at this as he took out hi deck and drew his favourite crd "Say hello to my Blue Eyes White Dragon card" he declared. Surprisingly a Blue Eyes white dragon appeared and Charged the Giant even though the Card should have just flown straight at the giant girl.
The Giant girl on her part just looked at the Blue eyes white dragon before growing much bigger and swatting it far away into the sky. "You will not take Sempai from me" she stated in a dangerous voice.
Kaiba looked and found that his Blue Eyes White Dragon was somehow in his hand "Very well then" he stated "Say hello to my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon" a three headed version of Blue Eyes white dragon appeared and charged the giant. Only to be swatted away like a fly all over again. "Impossible."
THe giant regarded him with her one visible eye. "The way you talk can make anything sound cool" she stated. "Perhaps I'd be inclined to spare you if you said Sempai's name over and over again."
Kaiba gulped it seemed as though he might have to as he expended card after card throwing it at the moss covered bandaged giant. Finally he admitted defeat and said the words the giant had demanded of him. "Hakuno Kishinami Sempai"
The Giant girl leapt around with said youth who had just been named in her hand. "See Sempai I think we should keep the grumpy man as a pet." It was clear whether or not Hakuno assented to this she was keeping Kaiba so he could say the former NPC's name for all eternity.
Kaiba opened his eyes "What kind of nightmare was that?" he asked himself.
"The kind that kills you obviously" said a voice that sounded rather sarcastic. "Well I guess I should welcome you Seto Kaiba" a man with tanned skin and white hair began "To the Throne of Heroes, you friend Yugi already is waiting for you."

Well FateLover you do not have to wait anymore as Violet's card is shown along with King Protea's who she is there to keep an eye on and the Other Alter Egos in general. I am making the Cards that are specific to their own abilities like King Protea growing to any size that she desires though I have to be happy with the result and am still currently working on them. Also any suggestions on that would be appreciated.
So yeah Jayden is back and is most probably going to be in the next chapter. Aster will give him a rematch and the light Arc is about to begin though I wonder how they will deal with Ireland's Child of Light who stands against them. That gave me an excellent idea for a Devil Survivor Two Crossover but I'll save that for later. Anyways I will try to get a duel into the next chapter though as I as had stated at the start with Pegasus in charge some of the duels that occurred will not, but FateLover's Idea of having some character's appear early is rather attractive as that could get the plot going though I feel as though I shouldn't rush this one plot wise that is, I could sit at a computer, mac or laptop and type all day for this story. Anyway I based the first interaction with Kingprotea off the one in Foxtail just that it was Hakuno getting eaten instead. I am contemplating utilising the Alter Egos in some of the upcoming Chapters but I would be forced to give Hakuno some of the other cards that would be used to summon them. Also thanks to all of you who favourited and followed my Fate Ground Zero fic and who also commented on it in their reviews that was much appreciated.
You probably noticed this but unlike the rest of the Sakura five so far Kingprotea's element as a card is not dark. The reason for this was because the Goddess's used in her creation were just Earth Mother Goddess's were used with no names applied specifically.
Also thanks the reading if you have any ideas that you would like to share Please leave a review or PM me, though as always I prefer to be given Reviews as it is easier to sort and reference that way. But if you don't want others to see your ideas and feedback then by all means PM me.
So yeah anyways until next time.
