Chapter Thirty-Eight:
Complete!
Ishi was laying in his bed, eyes closed. The light was off in the room, and his two friends were sleeping.
One will be coming next... thought Ishi.
I wonder if Five completed the 'Zero Hour' project? If he did, One is most likely going to use it...
I wonder...can I defeat the enemy I'll have to face? I know that they're going to send it...
The product of the 'Zero Hour' project...
Iwashi, Miro, Yoshiko, Serra...are you guys ready? This will be the most important duel ever.
And it'll probably come in a few days.

Twelve, Eleven, Ten, Nine, Eight, Three, and Two all sat together on the deck of the ship. They all knew that Five and One were off somewhere.
"So Five completed the 'Zero Hour' project." said Twelve. "I wonder what it does...?"
Two and Three were the most silent of all. They were the only ones on the deck of the ship who knew what it did.
"Something powerful, no doubt." said Ten. "But more importantly, where are Four, Six, and Seven? Did something happen to them?"
"Who knows, who cares?" Eight said. "Six and Seven bugged me, while Four was scary!"
"You got that right!" said Eleven, bouncing around. "She was a big fat meanie head!"
"She was pretty mean and scary..." said Nine, smiling. "Maybe Ishi Shihai killed her?"
"Nah." said Twelve. "I dueled him, and I doubt he'd kill anyone. He's too nice. She probably got pissed after he beat her, though. That's what I bet he did, and she did."
Eleven nodded in agreement. "Yeah!"

"Almost..." said Five. He looked at the clock next to him. They'd reach the island in one day.
"Only a few more minutes..." he said.
A few minutes later, he smiled. He put the cube in front of him.
"Complete!" he said happily.
It was a simple purple cube, but it held extreme power. He picked it up.
"One, it's time..." he whispered. "You can use this...you, and your friend..."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
One smiled at Five, and took the cube.
"Excellent work, Five!" he boomed. "With this, no one can stand in the way of the Twelve Hours of the Night!"
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As dawn broke, Ishi stretched. Noticing his friends were gone, he shrugged.
He got changed, and went for a walk. He knew where they would be.
As he got to the beach, he saw his friends. Iwashi, Yoshiko, Miro, and Serra. They each smiled when they saw him.
"Hey, Ishi." said Iwashi. "You ready?"
Ishi nodded. "Yeah...I am."
They looked out into the distance.
"There..." said Serra. "The boat."
They all, together, watched as the boat drew closer.
It's time... thought Ishi.

Next Time:
The Cube's Activation
As the boat lands, the enemies all exchange greetings while One and Five come ashore. Then, the time comes...the cube is drawn on.

Author's Note: Sweet! We finally (I mean, you finally (laughs)) get to find out what the 'Zero Hour' project is!
Typing that is getting annoying, actually (frowns).
Please R&R!
