Chapter 12: Changes
Yusei P.O.V.
I couldn't believe it. The little girl that I had watched die as she sacrificed herself for New Domino City and the Satellite, stood before my friends and me. But she wasn't the same little girl that we knew. The optimistic innocence that her eyes once held was gone, now her eyes shined with the pain and suffering she had gone through in her life, not just here in this dimension, but also her dimension. The seemed hard and and determined, but there still was some warmth in them. That meant she still was kind and caring. The band still resided on her forehead. It had not faded or stretched because of her growth. And her growth was enormous. Last time we had stood next to each other she had been shorter than me, and now she stood taller than Jack. Her golden hair was down to her knees and she was slim and muscular. She still held a professional model's beauty in her thin frame. Right now she stood in front of us grinning at our surprise.
Crow just entered, apologizing for not being here when we needed him, eyes closed of course. When he finally opened his eyes he said, "Chloe?" And Chloe replied back that she was the one and only.
"How are you alive? How are you here? How did you get the shrapnel out of your shoulder? And who are those people?" he asked looking at front and back of her shoulder where scars were instead of shrapnel. His face became twisted in disgust. "Never-mind that last question, I don't."
"You're right, you don't want to know." she replied. "But as for how I'm alive... My mission isn't entirely complete and I never told you guys this, but the voice in my dream said I could not die until my destiny was complete. When everyone thought I wouldn't last the hour because of the blood loss, I would've survived and eventually healed as I obiviously have. I could survive the impossible and go through extreme pain, but I wouldn't die until it was complete. And I would only die when it was completed if I was mortally wounded or really old. My mission for this dimension is sort of completed, but there is still something I need to do that involves both of our dimensions. And these are my friends from my dimension. Louise, Natasha, Callie and Lauren" Akiza, Jack, Crow shaked louise Natasha, Callie and Lauren's hands. She rubbed her head, unsure how we would take this.
"Any way, when I thought throwing myself into the light was going to complete my destiny, I was totally surprised when I woke up to find myself in my dimension in the hospital. The shrapnel from my shoulder had been removed and my shoulder was bandaged. The doctors later explained how they removed it and what my shoulder would be like when it healed, and as I said, you do not want to know how they did it. So, I've been living in my dimension for the past four years, trying to figure out how to get back here, because, of course, the doctors found my family and once I was healed, returned me to them. The past four years of my life have been the worst living nightmare ever. I missed you guys so much. All of you are my real and true family."
"So how did you get back here?" Jack asked forcing his upwards to meet her eyes. Jack liked being the tallest the groop and had a hard time excepting that anyone could be taller than him.
"Well, you know how I knew everything about you guys before coming to this dimension the first time?"
"No, we don't know how you knew." I replied.
"In my dimension Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is an anime show that people in my dimension watch. The first time I came into your dimension, I was watching Crow and Yusei duel and wished I was there, then next thing I knew, I was falling into my television, then a dark place, and then the blue sky. The reason that happen is because of the angle on the screen. I was viewing from the sky. The same thing happened the second time, except I was watching Akiza duel and I ddin't fall from the sky. I wished that I could find a way back to your dimension and then, all of a sudden I was in a dark place and then I hit something solid, knocking the wind out of me. turns out it was the concrete street of an alleyway. I overheared you talking to Jack about Akiza's accident. So I applied some make-up, shopped for some clothes and headed over to your pit stop."
"We're a TV show?" Leo almost squeled with delight. "That is totally cool!"
"How come you didn't tell us before? About being a TV show of course." I asked.
"Because what about to happen to both of our dimensions. Telling you about this won't make a difference now."
"What is going to happ-?" I asked but I was enterrupted by Trudge stomping in.
Chloe P.O.V.
Trudge came from the direction my back was facing and practically shouted, "Congratulations Yusei on another win! I bet your sister would be proud! Good thing you found that character in time!" From the direction he had came he did not see my face until he turned around to see me speak.
"I'm right here, and yes, I am very proud of my big brother."
He had his arm wrapped around Yusei's kneck in a good natured hug. His draw dropped down when he finally looked at my face and my scars. "Natsumi? Is it really you?"
"Yes it's really me Trudge. My real name is Chloe Nicoll by the way. But my nickname is Bunny Boo better." I looked at the ring on his finger. "So, did you finally ask Mia to tye the knot with you?"
I turned and left. I headed towards the announcer's podium. It was time to make my presence known and to warn the people of both cities of what danger was about to raise its ugly head.
