*Beijing, China, Beijing International Airport 11:42 PM LST*
Jeremy, Makoto, Ryan and Tinker stood inside the airport looking out the windows and they saw a massive blizzard raging outside.
Ryan: What is up with the snow? ! It's summer, right? !
Makoto: The news is saying that this snowstorm stretches as far as Poland and the Hawaiian Islands.
Jeremy: It's like one of those doomsday scenarios, isn't it?
Tinker: There's no way we can walk in this.
Ryan: That's funny, you think we're walkin'.
Tinker: You're not gonna ride in this weather!
Ryan: You bet your ass we are!
Tinker: Well, good luck with that. And if you crash into a snow pile and get impaled by an icicle, don't come crying to me, 'cause I'll just tell ya to walk it off.
Jeremy, Ryan and Makoto got onto their Duel Runners and rode out into the city streets. The city looked as though a giant, white blanket had covered it all. After riding for three blocks, Ryan had slipped on some ice and his Runner spun out. He flew off and landed into a huge pile of snow and before he could get up, a giant icicle fell down and missed him by a hair.
Ryan: Son of a… I thought he was only kidding!
Jeremy and Makoto had stopped to help Ryan up.
Jeremy: That's what you get for being so reckless.
Ryan: Thanks, Mom, but I think I can-
Then they heard what sounded like a muffled screaming coming from a nearby pile of snow.
?: MmmMMMMMmmm!
They looked over and saw two little feet sticking out of the pile of snow. The three went over and pulled the little person out and it was young, little May Cheng, the same one Jeremy dueled in the tournament.
May: Oh m-m-my g-goodness! It's f-f-f-f-f-freezing here!
Jeremy: May? ! What are you doing out in the snow like this?
May: Oh, Mr. Griffan! I was just trying to find my way home when I tripped and fell into the snow pile!
Makoto: Well, run along now, little girl. We've got more important things to deal with.
May gave Makoto an icy, death glare.
May: And who the hell are you?
Makoto gave May her own icy, death glare.
Makoto: I'm Makoto. Who the hell are you?
Ryan: Uh, ladies, could we get a move on before I catch hypothermia?
May: Where are you all heading off to?
Jeremy: We're off to the Forbidden City, we need to-
May: I know the way! Let me come with you!
Without another word, she jumped onto Jeremy's Duel Runner and was all ready to go. Without asking any questions, Jeremy got on his Duel Runner and rode off, as did Ryan and Makoto.
Makoto: That spoiled little brat! Who the hell does she think she is? !
Ryan: Aw, she's got a little crush! I think that's cute!
Makoto: She is not cute! She is an evil, evil little demon girl!
Ryan: Sounds like somebody's jealous!
Makoto: You bet I am! Wait! What? ! No! No, I'm not!
They continued to ride to the Forbidden City and when they got to the open plain, there appeared to be another road. But the roads suddenly began to lift off the ground.
Jeremy: Oh, geez! Not again!
May: Wait, what's going on? !
As they got a little higher, the road began to not look like a road at all. It was pure white, with small spikes on the side to prevent someone from falling off. They continued to climb up and it began to curve. Then, from out of the clouds, it appeared to be one continuous tail, full of winding twists and turns and then they say what appeared to be at the end of it a giant, white Chinese dragon. They were riding on the back of this dragon.
Ryan: Oh, what the hell? !
Yinglong: I am Yinglong! High Dragon of the Blizzards! My storm shall cover the world in miles of snow!
Jeremy: So, you're one of the gods sent by Set, aren't you?
Yinglong: I am not.
Jeremy: Say what?
Yinglong: I am the guardian of this city, protecting its secrets and the mystical powers that lie within it.
Makoto: Then why are you trying to cover the world in a blizzard?
Yinglong: … I was bored.
Makoto: Are you kidding me? !
May: Mr. Griffan, what's going on?
Yinglong: You are here for the Piece of Osiris, I presume? Very well, if you want it, you will have to have one of your duels with me. So, Ms. Nagato, are you ready for a duel?
Makoto: Me? You bet I am!
Yinglong: Excellent. Now, I must ask a favor: I cannot duel without someone to host my spirit. So, I will need someone to duel her for me.
Ryan: Yeah, so you could hold them hostage and if you lose, you end up killing them? ! Sorry, man! I saw one too many of those already!
Yinglong: I am not a pathetic being like the rest of the gods you have faced. I have honor and remember, the Osiris piece cannot appear unless we duel and I cannot duel without a host.
May: I'll do it. I wanted to beat that skank anyway!
Makoto: Who are you calling a skank, you little brat? !
Yinglong: So be it.
May disappeared from the back of Jeremy's Runner and appeared on top of the head of Yinglong. Her duel disk was already active and her deck was glowing a little bit differently.
May: My deck?
Yinglong: I have switched out some of the cards in your deck that are infused with my own spirit. This is the way it must be. And Ms. Nagato, we will be dueling with 0 Life Points since I have already been summoned to the field. If you can successfully attack me, we will lose.
Makoto: Just like that?
Yinglong: Just like that.
May: Aw, that's too easy! I don't want to lose to her if she gets lucky!
Yinglong (Lv.0 3000/0): It is not luck, it is destiny. Let us see who fate has decided to be the victor in this match. Let us begin!
May: *draws* I set 3 cards face down and end the turn.
Makoto (LP 4000) (SC 0): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll summon Wattdragonfly (Lv.2 900/100) in defense mode and I'll set one card face-down!
May: *draws* Hmm, I summon Fire Dragon Xi (Lv.3 1200/100) in attack mode.
A Small Chinese dragon set Ablaze by fire appeared next to May.
May: And he will attack your Wattdragonfly!
Fire Dragon Xi flew across the sky, and tackled the Wattdragonfly and burned it to a crisp.
Makoto (SC 2): Since Wattdragonfly was destroyed by one of your cards, I can Special Summon any Watt from my Deck and I choose the Tuner Wattkiwi (Lv.3 600/100)!
May: I end my turn.
Makoto: *Draws, gains a speed counter* First, I activate my face-down card Wattkeeper! This allows me to bring a Level 4 or below Watt from my Graveyard back to the field, so come back Wattdragonfly! However, Wattdragonfly must be destroyed at the turn's End Phase, but not before I summon Wattsquirrel (Lv.3 700/100) and tune Wattkiwi with Wattdragonfly and Wattsquirrel to bring forth the harbinger of storms who roars with the force of thunder! I Synchro Summon Energy Spark Dragon (Lv.8 2300/2800)! And he gains 200 attack points for each of the Watts in my Graveyard, so his power increases to 2900!
May: I activate the Trap Waboku! This reduces all battle damage to 0 and my monsters can't be destroyed in battle!
Makoto (SC 3): I'll end my turn with one card face-down!
May: *Draws* I'll summon Earth Dragon Cho (Lv.3 0/1800) in defense mode and then I'll switch Fire dragon Xi defense mode as well.
A small dragon appeared next to May in defense mode and Fire Dragon Xi witched into defense mode.
May: That ends this turn!
Makoto (SC 4): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate my face-down card Raigeki Break! By discarding 1 card from my hand, I can destroy one card on the field, and I choose one of your face-down cards!
Makoto discarded the Wattmole in her hand and a thunderbolt struck one of May's face-down cards, which was Magic Cylinder.
Makoto (SC 5): And since I just discarded Wattmole, Energy Spark Dragon gains 200 more attack points! Now he has enough to destroy you Yinglong! Attack!
Energy Spark Dragon flies up to Yinglong's head and was about to blast an electrical beam at him.
May: I activate the Trap Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! This negates one of your attacks and then it sets face-down again!
The electrical blast hit the scrap-iron scarecrow and Energy Spark Dragon flies back down toward Makoto.
Makoto: I'll end my turn with a face-down!
May: *draws* I summon Water Dragon Ling (Lv.3 300/1000) in defense mode!
A small water dragon appeared next to the others in defense mode.
May: And that will end my turn!
Jeremy: This makes no sense.
Ryan: What makes no sense?
Jeremy: She could've ordered Yinglong to attack Energy Spark Dragon before it became more powerful. Why didn't she?
Ryan: Must have something to do with those dragons she's been summoning.
Makoto (SC 6): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I summon Thunder King Rai-Oh (Lv.4 1900/800! Attack Water Dragon Ling!
May: I activate Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!
The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow blocks Rai-Oh's attack.
Makoto (SC 7): Now that your scarecrow's out of the way, Energy Spark Dragon, attack Yinglong now!
May: Oh no, I messed up!
Energy Spark Dragon charged up its attack..
Yinglong: I activate my effect now! By returning 1 face-down Spell or Trap on the field to May's hand, I can negate your attack on me!
Scrap-Iron Scarecrow returned to May's hand and Energy Spark Dragon's attack was stopped.
May: Ha! How do you like that, you shameless hussy!
Jeremy: We hear that word a lot, don't we?
Makoto: How dare you call me a hussy, you little… little… person? !
May: Muahahahaha! You just stink and you know it!
Yinglong: May, I would prefer if you did not gloat.
May: Sorry.
Yinglong: Anyway, it is still your move.
Makoto: I end my turn!
May: *draws* I summon Wind Dragon Chu (Lv.3 1100/800)!
A small sky dragon appeared next to the other dragons May had on her field.
Yinglong: No the effect of all four dragons will activate! Chèdǐ de huǐmiè! By removing all four of those dragons from play, I can remove all cards you have on the field for one turn!
All four elemental dragons vanished and so did Makoto's entire field.
Yinglong: And now, I attack!
The snow around Makoto turned into hail and pounded against her and her Duel Runner and one of them, the size of a baseball, hit her right in the head and it left a huge red mark right above her right eye.
Jeremy: Makoto!
May: Oh my God, is she okay?
Yinglong: She is fine. I could have killed her outright if I wished.
Makoto held her head as the pain was throbbing and she tried to focus back onto the duel.
Makoto (LP 1000) (SC 8): You are gonna pay for that!
Yinglong: I think not, for you see, it is your destiny to lose here.
Makoto: What?
Yinglong: Sad but true. It is the way of the world. A destiny is chosen for every being once they are brought into the world. And it is your destiny young girl to lose here before me.
Makoto: Says who?
Yinglong: Says your MOTHER!
Makoto: What? !
Yinglong: Not that long ago, your mother, Suzu Nagato, came to the Forbidden Palace in search of the Osiris pieces you seek.
Makoto: How would my mom know to come here to look for it?
Yinglong: Because your mother bore the mark of the yellow rose that you now bear.
Makoto: She what?
Yinglong: I was surprised myself, I thought the Rose Guardians were sealed away some 800 years ago.
Makoto: I'm sorry, could you start from the beginning please? I-I just can't comprehend all of this right now.
Yinglong: I do not know all of the details. All I know is that 800 years ago, the Rose Guardians were sealed away and your mother was the only Rose Guardian to be awakened after the Zero Reverse incident in New Domino City.
Jeremy: Zero Reverse? Isn't that the big explosion that destroyed half of the city?
Yinglong: That is correct. Shortly after, Mrs. Nagato received her Rose Mark. Unfortunately, she was the only one to receive this Rose Mark.
Makoto: Why only her?
Yinglong: At the time, your mother must have been the only duelist who had a connection to the past Rose Guardians. Meaning, her ancestor once held the mark of the Yellow Rose. She knew about Set's plan and went in search of the Osiris pieces, which led her to here and face-to-face against me. So, we dueled and unfortunately for her, she lost. And I told her that it was not her destiny to release the Osiris piece.
Makoto: You say it's not her destiny and it's not my destiny, then whose is it?
Yinglong: No one's. The Rose Guardian who hid the Piece of Osiris here gave me the order to never release it. For if I do, Cronus will return and the world will end. Over the past few days, I have sensed that the other Rose Guardians have awakened and began searching for the other Osiris Pieces, so I created a worldwide blizzard to halt their travels so you would not bring about the end of the world. Your mother was smart enough to realize the threat and returned home. Unfortunately she died in that turbo dueling accident. This is when your father asserts his authority. Suzu told him everything about the Roses and Cronus and he knew that when she died that you, being the elder of their two children, would inherit the mark of the yellow rose, so he banned dueling for both you and your sister, hoping you would never share the same fate as your mother. A good intended, but fruitless action. And now you must lose as did she.
Makoto: Yinglong, if I lose, there's just going to be another person to claim the piece. And even if they fail, Set will destroy one of those pieces and free Cronus anyway. I have to win here because that is our only chance of stopping him. That is my destiny.
Yinglong: You're so sure? Very well, let us continue.
Makoto: Since Energy Spark Dragon was removed from the field, I can add a Light Tuner from either my Deck or Graveyard to my hand and I'll take the Wattfox in my Deck!
Yinglong: Since you activated a card effect, I can bring back one of my dragons and the one to be revived will be Earth Dragon Cho in defense mode! May, it is still your turn.
May was hesitant to make a move and she seemed a little overwhelmed with everything that she was hearing.
May: *sobbing* I… I don't want to do this anymore! I-I just wanted to beat her; I didn't want to get involved in this! I don't want to risk destroying the world!
Yinglong: You must. This is part of destiny.
May: No, I can't do it!
Makoto: Oh, you're such a baby!
My looked up at Makoto, who was riding up Yinglong's back and Makoto's insult also offered some reassurance in herself.
Makoto: Calm down, it will be all right.
May: *sighs* I set one card face-down and end my turn!
The cards on Makoto's side of the field that were removed from play returned to her side of the field.
Makoto: *draws, gains Speed Counter* Energy Spark Dragon, attack Yinglong!
May: I activate Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!
Once again, the Scrap-Iron Scarecrow blocked the attack.
Yinglong: Now that another card effect has been activated, I can bring Fire Dragon Xi back in defense mode.
Makoto (SC 9): Now, Thunder King Rai-Oh will attack Earth Dragon Cho!
Yinglong: I activate my effect! When you declare an attack, I can negate it by sending one face-down card on my side of the field to the hand. And because my effect activated, I can bring back Wind Dragon Chu.
Makoto: I activate the Trap Double Lightning Strike! When you have more monsters than I do, I can look at the top cards of my Deck until I draw a monster, which I can then summon! Not only that, but I can also destroy one of your cards! I'll destroy Earth Dragon Cho!
The lightning struck Earth Dragon Cho and destroyed it.
Makoto: And now I summon Wattgiraffe (Lv.4 1200/100) in attack mode! And it's still my Battle Phase, so Wattgiraffe can destroy your Fire Dragon Xi!
Wattgiraffe charged at Fire Dragon Xi and destroyed it.
Yinglong: You still activated a card effect, so I can revive Water Dragon Ling!
Makoto: I'll set one card face-down and end my turn! And since you have two of those dragons in the Graveyard, you can't use your ability to bring them back from the removed from play section, so you can't use their ability to remove all cards on my side of the field from play!
May: *draws* Now, Yinglong can attack your Wattgiraffe and finish this!
The hailstorm surrounds Wattgiraffe.
Makoto (SC 10): I activate the Trap Wattbarrier! Since I control a Watt, I can negate one of your attacks!
The electrical barrier surrounds Wattgiraffe and protects it from the hailstorm.
May: I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Makoto: *thinks: Her face-down has to be Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. This merry-go-round is going to keep going on unless I draw the right card.*
Makoto's deck then began to glow yellow.
Makoto: *thinks: I think I'm about to draw the card I need.* *draws, gains Speed Counter* First, I summon Wattfox (Lv.2 800/100) to the field!
Wattfox: Nip!
Makoto (SC 11): And then I release Wattfox to Special Summon my Rose Card! I summon Conductor Fox (Lv.2 800/100)!
Wattfox had a surge of electrical power coursing through its body.
Wattfox: Nip! Nip!
Makoto: And his effect activates! He swaps all cards in our Spell and Trap Card Zones! I don't have any, but you have Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!
The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow Trap then came to Makoto's side of the field.
Makoto: Now Energy Spark Dragon is free to attack Yinglong!
Energy Spark Dragon electrocuted the back of Yinglong and the electricity started coursing through the gigantic dragon's body. Yinglong did not look like he was in pain, more like he was in serenity.
Yinglong: So this is my fate. This is what destiny has in store for me. Very well.
Yinglong's body then began to break apart into large chunks of snow and the group fell through the snow of Yinglong's body and were falling back to the earth.
Everyone: !
Everyone safely landed on huge piles of snow right in front of the Forbidden Palace. Yinglong's body disappeared within the falling snow and when the last snowflake hit the ground, the skies opened up and showed a bright full moon overhead. As the full moon appeared, the Osiris Piece Card appeared before Makoto and she took it.
Makoto: It seems so simple now…
Makoto then saw the feet of May Cheng as she dived head-first into the snow, just like the way they found her. Makoto went over to help the young girl out.
Makoto: You all right?
May: Yeah…
There was an awkward silence between the two.
May: … Next time, we're going to duel for real! And when I win, Mr. Griffan's heart will be mine!
Makoto: Over my dead body!
May: Hussy!
Makoto: Brat!
The two have a stare-down as Jeremy and Ryan have finally reappeared.
Ryan: So, where to next?
Makoto: I don't know, it hasn't shown me anything.
Jeremy: For real? Hold on…
Jeremy pulled out his cell phone.
Jeremy: I'm going to call Colin. Maybe he has a lead.
*Moscow, Russia, Moscow International Airport 8:06 PM LST*
Colin, Rita and Nick were sitting in some airport seats while Colin was on the phone with Jeremy.
Colin: I don't know where to go next, Jeremy… We got nothing on our end either… No, I lost touch with Krystal and the others a while ago… All right, bye.
Colin hung up the phone.
Nick: Well, this sucks. I just wish there was a way we could see where we need to go.
Colin: See where we need…? That's it, I got it! I'm going to need you to be very quiet for one minute. I know it's hard for you, Nick, but try.
Colin then closed his eyes and cleared his mind. His Rose Mark started to glow as he was trying to see through the eyes of another person. Not just any person, he was trying to find where Set was hiding… It was in a brief moment, but Colin a building he recognized and he quickly reopened his eyes where he was back at the airport.
Colin: I know where to go! I'm such an idiot, it was obvious! You guys wait here, I'll go get the tickets!
Colin then went off to get the tickets before they could ask him any questions.
Rita: Unbelievable! Why doesn't he just tell us where we're going? !
Nick: He probably wants to keep us in suspense until the very last possible moment.
Rita: … Jackass…
