Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Star King Chronicles
Arc 1: Black Rose Revival Arc
Episode 13: Search Begins! Aki's Decision
"Who?" a man said, his voice menacing and calm. He was sitting in a moving chair with a wide monitor across him. It seemed that he was in his office, looking at the current condition of Neo Domino City through the monitor. The sliding door of the office opened. From the outside, a short man came. The man has light purple hair, wears an opulent red costume with a black color and gold trim, and has elf-like ears. "Oh, it's you, Jaeger. Have you found the tablet?"
"Yes, Director Sieg." Jaeger made a bow. Sieg glanced at him for a while. The director has a flat and messy hair with some strands extending to his forehead. His outfit consists of a white and black royal coat and pants. He has sparkling crimson eyes with a crimson hair to match that. His hair has black with yellow streaks on it. Engraved on his face is the whole Star mark, half of it is located above his left eyes while the other half is below of the same eyes. The image in the monitor changed. It showed an ancient tablet which is about to crash on the surface of the Earth.
"It seems it has arrived. The tablet of Ophiuchus. Jageger!" he said, Jaeger responded quickly and headed outside. Just by the director saying that, Jaeger already knew what he wants him to do. It is to obtain the great ancient tablet. As he walked through the hallway, a woman welcomed her. She wore an outfit similar to Sieg although she did not wear pants. Instead, she wore a skirt. She has rosy hair, bright gold eyes, and a mischievous and mysterious look.
"Where is Sieg?" she asked, her voice calm and royal-like. She had her arms crossed during that time. Jaeger stopped and faced her.
"Director Sieg is at his office, Vice Director Reina." he spoke and answered her question. "Excuse me, I have orders from the Director to retrieve the tablet of Ophiuchus." he continued walking after he said those words. Reina's eyes widened upon hearing the word Ophiuchus. Although surprised, she made a mischievous smile. A smile of satisfaction and evil as she headed towards the Director's room.
"The ancient tablet of Ophiuchus. Our goal will come to fruition sooner." she thought with that smile still present on her face as she walked towards Director Sieg's office. On the other hand, Aki walked on the streets of Neo Domino City, heading from the hospital to her house. A lot has been in her mind ever since she met the lady who wore a broken mask, the Rasgar. The sun finally set and night time came. Aki had reached her house a few hours back. Now, she currently sleeps in her room. While sleeping, tears like waterfall fell from her eyes.
"Yusei...." she murmured unconsciously. She was actually having a dream. In the dream, she was at a beautiful garden along with Yusei. They were both lying in the grass, observing the peaceful and beautiful sky. That is, until he stood up and started walking away from her. Aki stood up and reached out her hand but she couldn't do anything. Yusei just continued to walk away from her. Soon, darkness dominated the whole garden, changing the scenery and taking away the male Signer. "Yusei! Yusei!! Don't....go..." tears fell from her eyes.
"Izayoi Aki." a deep and evil voice spoke. A gigantic monster appeared, covered in the darkness. Only its eyes and mouth were seen. "If you really want to see him again, follow the Rasgar! It's the only way. Hahahaha!!" the darkness started to attack Aki, pulling her in. She shouted Yusei's name and finally, she woke up from her dream, shouting Yusei's name as she did. She started to wonder what happened.
"What happened? Yusei....." tears fell from her eyes again. "Just where are you? Please come back. Fulfill your promise." she has only 24 hours left to decide if she's going to follow what the Rasgar said or not. During the past day, when Yuza woke up, the young Star Mage mysteriously lost her energy and fell into unconsciousness again. When morning came and the sun rose, Aki found out that Yuza was not at her bed anymore. It seemed she ran away. Aki didn't even get to know the mysterious girl. "I..." she spoke. "I've decided. I will...go, Yusei."
"Toying with minds is bad, you know." at the rooftop of a nearby building, a child shrouded in the shadows spoke. "Aren't we going a bit too far, Big-Sis Ximena?" the kid asked the woman standing beside him, his voice childish and annoying. The same person who spoke to Aki's mind.
"No, Mente." she answered, still as expressionless as ever. "It seems that she's decided to come with us. Lord Shinsuke will surely be glad when he hears about this." she took a card from inside her outfit and showed it to the child. "Time to go back." the child's body turned into a surging purple energy. All of it went inside the card. After that, she placed it back to where it originally was. "Domingo, take care of the rest of the Signers. Lord Shinsuke's counting on you."
At a part of a Daedalus bridge, Jack, Crow, and Kiryu were there. They were waiting for someone, the Rasgar who had told them to meet there. It seemed that the Rasgar gave them less hours of decision than Aki. They have been there for about some time by now but the Rasgar still didn't arrive. Suddenly, two people mysteriously arrived. They came to the bridge from an eye-shaped portal. One wore a mask while the other was wearing a white robe with the face covered.
"It seems you've arrived. I am Domingo. You fell in our trap. We are...the Pleiades!" he said, driving his D-wheel while his ally sat at the back of the D-wheel. The person wearing the white robe jumped and got off the D-wheel. "I see." he took a card from his pocket and lifted it. Purple energy then started to go inside that card.
"What?! You are not from Rasgar?!" Kiryu exclaimed, both surprised and furious. Domingo made a mischievous smile.
"Rasgar? Hahahaha!!! Every organization I join falls and Rasgar is just another victim. Although, Rasgar is the most useful organization I've joined so far. Thanks to them, I gained the ability to use a Soul card." he stated, answering his question. Jack and the others sturggled in defending themselves from the blinding light and intense wind. "Soul Card, Apresar!" across the two Signers and Kiryu, a large portal appeared. The portal enlarged, absorbing Kiryu, Jack, and Domingo. The white robed person and Crow managed to avoid it.
"You are.....the Signer that bears the tail mark." the white robed person removed the hood of the clothing, revealing her face. Crow's eyes widened upon seeing her. In reality, the person in front of him is actually a lady. She has long green hair with white streaks, fair bangs, and a lovely face. Two strands of her hair are standing in an arc form, each one for each side, the left and the right.
"How do you know that I'm a Signer? What do you need from us?" he asked, getting off his D-wheel and getting his duel disk. Her opponent also took her duel disk which looks like a plain Neo Domino City duel disk which is black in color. Crow's dragon mark glowed. Outlines appeared on his opponent's body and her whole body glowed in yellow color. "Who are you?"
"My name is....Rin." said she. On the other hand, inside the dimension Domingo had taken them, Jack observed the surroundings. To his surprise, it wasn't as gloomy as he thought it would be. The dimension was so colorful and rainbow-like, similar to Neo Space. Domingo pushed a button on his D-wheel.
"Duel Mode on, Auto-Pilot, stand-by." a robotic male voice said. Speed World 2 then dominated the field. The card appeared on Domingo's screen as well as Jack's and Kiryu's. And with that, they drove to the boundless space of the dimension and started the riding duel. All three of them shouted the word, 'Duel'.
"Since I'm up against the two of you, my life points will be 8000. Heh." Domingo stated, making a mischievous smile as he did. He lifted his arm with his hand wide open and the palm facing his face. The hand was in a claw-like position. "It's time to show you my true power. Mascara Verdad! Domingo, Lord of the Demons!" purple light surged and from it, Domingo's mask changed. It became brown in color which resembled a demon with her D-wheel changing too, taking the form of the mask. His eyes turned black, like a Dark Signer's. "Hahahahaha!!!"
Jack - 0 / 4000
Kiryu - 0 / 4000
Domingo - 0 / 8000
"What the...?!" Jack and Kiryu exclaimed in unison surprised.
"It's my turn! Draw!" the menace cried insanely upon drawing his card. "I summon Krebons in defense mode!" a jester wearing a violet outfit with yellow outlines and a white cloth at its middle appeared on the field. His eyes were covered by a visor. "I place two cards face-down. Turn end." two face-down cards materialized on the field but faded afterwards. He then thought, "Hahahaha.....Perfect. Soon, my goal will be fulfilled. That goal is to take your wing mark, Jack. Rin should take card of the tail mark. Soon, soon! He will be revived."
Krebons: DEF 400 / LV 2
Jack - 1 / 4000
Kiryu - 1 / 4000
Domingo - 1 / 8000
"I summon Dragunity - Dux!" cried Kiryu. From a blue portal, a hawk man with robot-like wings appeared on the field. "Attack! Hurricane Spiral!" the monster spun and and attacked Krebons. Unfortunately, Krebons wasn't destroyed. He still remained on the field due to a little psychic barrier protecting him. "What?!"
Dragunity - Dux: ATK 1500 / DEF 1000 / LV 4
"When Krebons is selected as an attack target, he can pay 800 life points to negate the attack." Jack told Kiryu, somewhat lecturing him. Domingo responded with a mischievous smile. Even though it was just a small barrier that Dux hit, Kiryu felt a small physical impact. Maybe it is because of the high power force of the Mascara Verdad. "You, tell me! Who exactly are you? We are suppose to meet Rasgar to see Yusei. You are a Masca, aren't you?" Jack drew a card from his deck.
Jack - 2 / 4000
Kiryu - 2 / 4000
Domingo - 2 / 7200
"It seems they have informed you of the details. Yes, I am a Masca. But, I have betrayed them. Now, I am a Pleiades." he stated, answering Jack's question. "The reason I came to contact with the Rasgar is to meet you, Jack Atlas. I need the power of your mark." these words made both Kiryu and Jack shocked. "It's also thanks to Rasgar that I've gained the ability to use the Soul Cards." a piece of memory then flashed from Kiryu's mind.
"A Masca can gain two masks, the Mascara Oscuridad and the Mascara Verdad." this was all in Kiryu's mind. It was the time when they met the fat Rasgar. Although the Rasgar was hidden in the darkness, he could still make out the figure of his body. He had told them all the information they needed. The memory faded. Kiryu then spoke, "You can use the Mascara Verdad. It means you are complete. What do you still want from us? Why do you need his power?"
"It is all to revive him." Domingo answered, calmly and assertive of himself. "It is true that I am already complete. I became complete when Izayoi Aki beat one of the Dark Signers, Misty." as he narrated, an image flashed, showing the time when Divine was eaten by Misty's Earthbound God. "My other part.....is Divine, leader of Arcadia Movement." when Divine was eaten, before he was even swallowed, Domingo was there, waiting for him. "My name was Zeus back then. But now that I've learned my true name, I became more powerful."
"Your other part is Divine? I've heard of him from Yusei. He was the guy who took in Izayoi." said Jack, the three of them turned left, following the trail.
"Yes, that is the same Divine." Domingo spoke again. After Domingo saw Divine, he immediately took him, making his soul one with his. Divine vanished and Domingo successfully escaped the Earthbound God in time. When he got out, he was overflowing with darkness and he suddenly became insane. After quite some time, he met Rin, the white robed woman who was with him. He took her in, clarifying that they were alike as they both contain a huge secret within them.
"You may be wondering why I was a part of Divine. Divine is an Envasar. An Envasar is a container to hold the orb of one of the seven Star Beasts. He is actually the second, Rin being the first." he continued to speak. It seemed that fusing with his other part made him gain Divine's memory. "Him being an Envasar gave him the ability to use Psychic powers. Now, that orb is taken by the Dark Mages." Both Jack and Kiryu were struck by Domingo's words.
Meanwhile, at the crash site of the ancient tablet of Ophiuchus, Jeager along with the officers of the Security lifted the tablet to move in the assigned place. Sieg observed them as well. The tablet showed stars forming a shape of a man holding a snake. What could this truly mean? What are the Envasars and the Star Beasts? And, what is the relevance of the Tablet of Ophiuchus? Who is this shroudy Sieg character? Find out in the next Star King Chronicles.

Key Cards of the Episode
Crimson: What will it be? What will it be? This is what we have for this chapter!
Krebons
Type: Psychic / Tuner
Level: 2
ATK / DEF: 1200 / 400
Image: A jester in a violet suit, juggling cubicles
Card Description:
When this card is selected as an attack target, you can pay 800 life points to negate the attack.
Crimson: We only have one key card this chapter due to it being the only one to activate an effect! Thanks for reading and please review! Now, it's time for the explanation of the Power Summon!
A Power Summon is performed by one Booster and one Synchro monster. To boost, a Booster gives levels called booster levels to a Synchro monster. It's just like Synchro Summoning but in this case, the Booster monster remains on the field until its level hits 0 but can be destroyed by battle. Unlike a Booster monster, Power monsters are not destroyed by battle. They only lose two levels when they are attacked and the attack of the attacking monster is greater. When their level hits 0, that's the time they are destroyed but as long as they are face-up and a Booster monster is face-up, that Booster can give additional booster levels to the Power monster. Hence its name, Booster.
A number of Power monsters also rely on their levels to activate their effects while monsters like Shadow Fire Ninja don't.
Crimson: That is all! Feel free to ask questions! Thanks for reading and please review!
