Hello audio monkeys! This chapter is a little short, but I want Skylar to have a conversation with Owen about how different he's become and I introduced a very special agent that will be appearing throughout season 1 of Queen of Games. He's just going to be in season 1. He might appear again in his season 2, but I'm not sure though.
Anyway I hope you guys like this chapter I know it's short, but I wanted to get this chapter out first before I started with Joey's first tournament duel. It will be in the next chapter. It's gonna be Skylar's and Joey's POV and we will get to see what rare card Skylar gave Joey. Use your imagination to see what rare card Skylar gave him.
Also the poll is still out for Skylar's deck.
Kingdom Hearts Deck - 2
Digimon Deck (Season 1 and 2) - 2
Marvel's Avengers Deck - 0
X-Men Deck - 0
There's still a lot of time to plan on Skylar's decks which I will try to be working on throughout the story and will be working on this story as well. I hope you guys love the story so far. I'm working really hard to try to keep the episodes intact and putting in Skylar at the same time. So I really hope you guys stay with the story. It's going to be a while to finish this story I know that, but I am going to try to finish this story soon, so I can start working on Yu-Gi-Oh: Queen of Games Season 2 Battle City. Enjoy!
I do not own any of the Yu-Gi-Oh characters! I also don't own Owen Grady or the character known as Barton! I only own Skylar Brody!
Enjoy!
Chapter 12: Confrontation
Skylar Brody didn't hesitate to burst through Owen Grady's quarters. She didn't care to be honest. The questions in her mind have been bugging her ever since the whole situation over at Kaiba Corp a couple of days ago. The memory from Kaiba Corp still hurts her emotionally. She has no idea if she will ever forgive Kaiba for what he did or try to do. Though, she does feel bad for his little brother Mokuba. However, she would think about Kaiba's little brother later. Right now, she needs answers and she needed them now. The doors flew open startling Owen who is standing next to the window and on the phone with someone. Skylar Brody glared at him with all her anger and rage and took long strides towards him. She watched Owen end the phone call and heard him gulp loudly.
"You want to explain to me what happened out there?" She said with a stern voice and Owen shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She scowled at him and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Oh really? Then do you enlighten me. I like to see you explain your little outburst back when I was watching Mr. Muto duel." Skylar asked and Owen seems to not get it.
'What the hell is wrong with him? Why the hell is acting like this?' She thought to herself as she stares at her childhood best friend. He's changed and she doesn't know if it's for the better or for the worst. To be honest, she doesn't know what to think anymore. Owen is a changed man. She doesn't have time to deal with his drama. She needs to stay focus on her own mission. Getting information about Uncle Pegasus's plan and why he needs those souls. Skylar has a right to know. She also suspects that if Uncle Pegasus is using her as a pawn in his own game then she deserves to know.
"Start telling me the truth Owen. What are you really doing here? What does Uncle Pegasus have on you?" She heard Owen scowl and shook his head.
"I only came for you Sky. Pegasus doesn't have anything on me, I promise. I came on my own." Skylar can't believe his lies. She knows something else is going on and he's still doesn't tell the whole truth to her. It's starting to frustrate her to beyond her limit.
"Stop with the lies Owen." She gritted her teeth together in anger and glared at him with rage in her ocean blue eyes. Her hands clenched together and felt the ice sensation return. The intense burning from her gem of her necklace started to glow and her eyes turned icy blue. Owen's eyes widened in fear as he watches his childhood best friend turned into some sort of Ice Queen or Princess. Skylar started to tremble in rage as she watches Owen to continue to lie in her face. She's had enough. "Start telling me the truth Owen! What are you really doing here and no more lies!" She scowled at him and felt the ice surround at her feet. It started to spread towards Owen who took steps back away from her. Her entire body shakes with anger and rage. She has felt this much rage in a long time. Skylar then did something unexpected. She stretched out her arm and opened her palm. Ice then shot towards Owen, but he dodged out of the way before the ice could hit him.
"Skylar! What are you doing!? I'm your best friend! Why are you doing this!?" Owen shouted at her and she felt her eyes glow.
"I've had enough of your lies Owen! You know something about Uncle Pegasus's plan! You know why he needs those souls and you know that he's using me as a public stunt so no one can't find out what he's really doing!" She pointed at him and snarled at him. "Start telling me the truth now or there won't be a next time for you Owen!"
"I'm telling you the truth Skylar! I came here for you!"
"Then why did you leave your mission with Nat and her partner!? Why did you leave them behind!? Ever since you came back, you've been acting different and you closed yourself off from me! I know you know what Uncle Pegasus are going to do with those souls he captured! I'm done listening to you! You may think your protecting me, but your hurting and betraying me by lying and closing yourself off!" Skylar shouted at him and Owen finally understood her rage. He raised his hands in surrender and gave her a pleaded look.
"Sky, let me explain," However, Skylar cut him off.
"NO! You had your chance! I'm done listening to you! You are not the childhood best friend I thought you were! You broke my heart and I will never forgive you!" She threatened Owen and then used every amount of her energy to call to call back the ice that surrounded her and Owen. It took a minute to start disappearing from the carpeted floor and return to her. The ice feeling in her hands started to disappear and the intense burning from her gem started to fade. The glow of the gem started to disappear as well and her eyes returned to their normal ocean blue color. Her shoulders sagged in exhaustion and her legs gave out. She watched run towards her, but he wasn't the one who caught her. It was someone else. The arms don't belong to Croquet. They belong to someone else. Someone familiar. She glanced up and saw someone she thought she would never see again. "How did you get here?" She moaned out and felt being carried in the person's arms.
"I thought I told you to try to stay out of trouble." She heard the deep voice said to her and she couldn't help, but chuckle at his sense of humor.
"Agent Grady, you have some explaining to do, but for now, I must take Ms. Brody to her quarters." Skylar heard Owen scowl and glared at them.
"This has nothing to do with you Barton! This is between me and Sky! Stay out of it!" Owen shouted out and she heard Barton let out a dark chuckle.
"Grady, you have no idea what I'm capable of. I'm here under orders of the director to protect Ms. Brody from the dangers that you put her in. Including her Uncle, Mr. Pegasus. We know what's he's up too Grady. We know what he's going to do with those souls he's captured." Barton said and Owen just growled.
"And how do you know what Pegasus is planning Barton?"
"He going to use those souls to bring back his wife from the dead." Skylar couldn't help, but gasped at the news heard.
'He's going bring back Aunt Cecelia?' She thought to herself as she continues to listen to their conversation.
"You know how crazy that sounds? You're delusional Barton!" Owen shouted and heard Barton sigh.
"I've had my share of crazy Grady and trust me, this no different from anything I've seen in this line of work. Trust me, I know." She heard Owen scowl and growled out.
"You don't know what Pegasus is capable of Barton. I'm the only one who can protect Sky! She's mine to protect!" She let out a low growl and tried to pry her eyes open, but she felt too exhausted to open her eyes.
"I'm no one's property to protect Owen and you don't own me." She growled out in a low tone and moaned of exhaustion. She needed rest if she was going to watch the duels. Skylar wants to watch Joey's duel and everyone else's. She lightly tapped Barton's chest to get his attention and moaned out loud. "Please take me to my quarters." With that she felt her head roll back and was welcomed back the darkness that surrounds her.
