Ladies and Gentlemen… Another Chapter has come, and this time is a Special One: it doesn't have a duel between nobody. THAT'S CRAAAAAZY… but it was intended. Just like I said on the last chapter, unless I would get any review telling if they could see a duel happening, I would write this chapter focused on characters-relationship, and make the NEXT chapter the duels happening. And here it is…
It was fun writing about the outcome of the duels, which made the characters of my story starting getting their roles in it. It makes me feel like they're really important in it, and I wouldn't replace them for nobody else 😊
Like I promised, I will answer some of the last reviews I forgot about in the last chapter, so here it is. The Review Time:
SasukeShouldDie: You're right in one thing… 'Mask Change' states HERO monsters to use them to Special Summon 'Masked Heros'. HOWEVER… 'Mask Change II' ignores the monster you're using, as long as it has the same attribute of the Masked Hero monster. I guess this explains it…
Temporal King:
C. 29 – I enjoyed writing the outcome of the duel for Syrus, the 'after the storm' moment between him and his lovers. Dee's breasts growing bigger… was it a coincidence? Or was it planned for that same chapter, and onwards? Ehehe… who knows. But yeah, the girls did a great job to make him feel no more remorse about his past anymore. The good kid Syrus is back, and loved ^^. And his love and respect for the cards came from WAY too long ago, ever since he started drawing his pictures on his *cof cof* ripped notebook. He still had his cards thou… it were his friends 😊.
As for Xyz Summoning origin, I decided giving my own excuse about it being created, and here it is… Jaden meeting with Yami was a way to give explanation of what will come later for Jaden, who knows who…
And Ghostricks meeting was expected, as well as Dee' overlayed form, Syrus really is prepared for what's coming for him…
C. 30 – Jaden vs Syrus was one of the most intense duels I ever decided to write. It was a duel between the Titans of School, let's be real. Two Slifer genius, I felt like this duel could be compared like Yami Yugi vs Yugi Muto. It just differed that the two Yugi's battle was WAY better than this in my opinion, lol. Dee's poses might been an excuse of her not being shown in public, she would rather have a private time doing it with Syrus 😊.
Seto seeing Spirits will be important, as well his behaviour changin will come as better than before. From generations, people tend to change as well, right? And the baby sure came healthy and safe, it sure is to congratulate. Let's see if THIS chapter will give some information about it, good sir 😉.
C. 31 – Pegasus will be so great in this chapter, since he'll be responsible to give the Synchro and Xyz monsters (as well as some FM cards I'll be posting on my Database). So you guys know what that means… if you have some card ideas for Tuners, Synchro or Xyz Monster, is now your chance. I won't be posting those cards after that… I have more chapters and seasons to write after all :P. And I'll be sure to have Pegasus and Syrus a time for them to talk, and Syrus getting rewarded by the President. Probably next chapter, ehehe…
The Ghostrick Xyz Monsters will join the fight with Syrus, I can't wait to write more about them, although I miss one of them. But I just want to say, he DID joined him too, and they're tagging together at the Hyper Library.
C. 32 – The Eyes of Blue are all from the game, all except for Oracle (which by the way I forgot to put her in the Card Database, I'll be sure to put her with her card effects). Blue eyes shining Dragon would be really bad for Dee and Seto's life, lol.
And yes, Seto will start having a brightening view of the people that are around him. He'll understand that now things will be different, for how they'll trust him the same way he will do as well. And for the new 'welcoming' of the Obelisk girls it will be GREAT in my story, I can't wait to write more of the girls start living at Slifer Dorm, ehehe…
And that's all the reviews, here's another chapter, I hope you'll enjoy it. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
Chapter 33 – True Light
*with Jaden and Alexis*
"Should we tell them, hun?", she asked to her boyfriend close.
"What's in your mind, babe? Could it be… about the spirits we see and talk with?", Jaden asked to Alexis that was with his arm over her shoulder.
"Yes. It's about all that happened yesterday, hun. I told them about Yubel' spirit living inside the card you received… after your parents expelled you. Also, because of your duel yesterday against Belowski: how he acted in the middle of the duel, because of that Spirit Monster Princess Cologne. I think our friends need to know about all this…", she told him with a worried look.
Jaden thought about it, and sighed. "Fine… I'll call Bastion and Chumley, while you call Jasmine and Mindy. I feel like Pegasus already knows about the Spirit existence, but I think he could also give us some extra information about them…"
Alexis nodded at him. "Yeah, we all need to also know more about Spirits of what we already know", she then sensed Yubel and the Priestresses coming. "… isn't that right, girlfriends?"
"You'll get it all nice explained, Lexi!", Mana told her with a grin.
"I hope we'll be well introduced by your friends too. I don't want any confusing between us and them…", Berenice was with her arms crossed.
"Meeting new people will make me a little nervous… Only Yubel can make me feel better, if she stays close to me…", Cleo talked nervously.
The mentioned demoness suddenly appeared close to the Ra's daughter, giving a surprise hug. "Everything will be okay, my Cleo~. I'll be with you as much time you want…", she told her, kissing her blonde hair, while the Priestress tried to endure her blushing.
"Okay… then everything's settled. Let's go…", Jaden and Alexis walked away from the room, while their spirits followed them.
*Sometime later*
"My my, if this isn't another pleasant group talk to have…", Maximillion Pegasus asked to Jaden and Alexis. They offered to ask their friends to sit all together in a large room of the deserted boat. Because yes… there was only seven people in that room, together with the captain and the other sailers in their work places.
"Thank you all for accepting our request to talk about this important topic…", Jaden started.
"… about the way how everything acted between me, Jaden and Syrus. We want to talk about the Duel Spirits closer to us.", Alexis explained.
That unknown thing about the Spirits from the other students wasn't so unknown for the president of Industrial Illusions, Maximillion Pegasus. He already knew about their exitence and appearance in front of him for a LONG time. After all… he one of those responsibles to make the Duel Spirits having personal contact with certain duelists.
However, Pegasus needed to know more information about 'these' Spirits… because the wideness of data was more expanded than he knew before…
Bastion was with his arms crossed. "Well, I wasn't expecting all that to happen today. But you're right… I do want to know about it! If it isn't for the reason why Syrus could perform a 'Synchro' Summon yesterday, it's because of Belowski."
Jasmine nodded. "Yes, that seems weird for me to finally get these Spirits are real. I just never thought it was a thing before… not before seeing how that student Belowski started acting really weird, from calm to energetic… as if he wasn't the same person."
"I started having my doubts… when Syrus faced against SAL, a monkey using a technological helmet. There was this tiny professor that explained that monkeys had the ability of 'hearing the voices of spirits'. Is that related to Duel Monster Spirits?", Mindy asked curious.
Chumley had to speak about something. "Me, Jaden, Syrus and Alexis saw something that was related to the Shadow Games… Wasn't all that related to the Spirits too? All because of that Dark Sphere in the middle of the duel, where I couldn't see it."
Jaden and Alexis all nodded in that. "What you guys are all saying is right. All those topics are all related to the Spirit Monster's work", Jaden explained. 'Except in my case… that meeting with Yami. What he told me about being scared of Syrus…'
"And that's why we felt it was time to reveal to you all the Spirit being showned here. We just want you all to promise to keep this information here only, so that nobody else knows…", Alexis asked them.
After all agreed to what Alexis said, she and Jaden held their hands together and snapped their fingers. In a slight of a second, the students and Pegasus could see Yubel and three Priestresses behind the place where Jaden and Alexis were sitting.
"These are our well-known Spirit friends, Yubel, Mana, Berenice and Cleo. Yubel has been my favorite card for almost 5 years, while also these Priestresses have been a part of my deck…", Jaden explained, while Bastion smirked at him.
'That explains our duel back when you summoned that Yellow Priestress. Interesting…', he thought with a nod.
"And while Jaden has been keeping this information from us, I can confirm that I only know about them after Christmas date I had with him.", Alexis added. "We just decided to keep this information a secret from everyone, because they asked us to do so…"
Yubel nodded. "We have been looking over you all. We've been seeing the friendship bonds you've been having lately with our… associates. It mades us happy to know how Jaden and Alexis have trustful friends."
"We have been through hard times with Jaden trying to earn trust from people next to him. Let us say that during the campus school, it wasn't as easy as here…", Mana told them.
"Earning friend there was like trying to find fabric in a pin box: if you stick your hand in it for a second, you would end up getting hurt.", Berenice explained.
"All that Jaden had, was only us to talk with in private. He spent most of his time in fights with other bullies and rejecting people who wanted to take advantage with him, just because he was a Muto.", Cleo finished her explanation.
The two Obelisk Girls and Jaden' friends were looking at Jaden, because of what they said. Jaden had to admit to them…
"My life back before I met you all wasn't the same as now, guys… The ONLY people I had trust on was my family: Yugi and Téa as my step-parents, Joey, Mai, Tristan and Serenity as my step-uncles… and Seto Kaiba as one of the duel relatives that used to ask me help for duel classes. Everything else was hard to interact to… because of my parents leaving me, as well of some bullies who once tried to steal my deck.", he said, while Alexis was feeling Jaden's grip becoming tighter.
Pegasus knew all that information before from Yugi once telling him, and he understood it clearly. That's why he's been supporting Jaden without him knowing it, the 'Elemental Hero' cards he's been earning on his past five years beirthday came from Pegasus work after all…
"Wait… so, does that mean that Yugi, Téa and the others know that you communicate with Duel Spirits?", Jasmine asked him, while the boy smilled.
"Mum and Dad knew about them way before meeting me. As for my step-uncles… Yugi told me that they weren't aware of their presence… not that I know.", Jaden explained.
Mindy had a thinking look. "Wait… since Duel Spirits can appear to our World, does that mean they have their own place to live in?"
Mana nodded. "Yep, we have the Duel Monster Realm as our world to… do Duel Monster stuff.", she admited with an embarassed look.
"We've been working lately on our personal decks, and getting our new strong forms. And sometimes we invite Syrus' friends to come inside our rooms to make us company…", Berenice added.
Bastion had his eyes opened by that. "Wait… Syrus also knows about Duel Monster Spirits being real?"
Jaden laughed at it. "Yeah, that's a long… loooong story. It happened during his birthday, and how his 'Roid' deck 'became' Magicians."
"… I guess that makes sense, seeing how he uses Dark Magician Girl in a deck full of Magicians. Syrus… you're a lucky guy.", the Ra Yellow said with a proud smile.
Chumley was also thinking something was up. Back when he dueled against his father, he could feel that the 'Dizzy' monsters were interacting with him, even thou he couldn't tell if it was from the holograms…
"Does the spirit monsters get to interact with us during our duels? I once had my duel with my father, where I had a Dizzy Angel talking with me, or so it seemed…"
Pegasus answered to the tall Slifer's question. "That's the way how a Spirit wants to communicate with the duelists, outside of being bonded with them. That works most of the times with me and my Toons. Kids that sometimes ask to duel me ALWAYS get to have fun seeing my Toon monsters taunting at them, as if it was a 'playground course'. The kids laugh, my monsters laugh… in the end of the day, they see them as friends through Solid Visions."
After everything got explained, the room was filled with smiles from Jaden and Alexis' friends, while the Spirits felt confortable staying with them as well.
"So… does anyone else have anything to ask to my Spirit friends?", Jaden asked to the group.
Jasmine lifted her arm up for everyone attention, "What are your relationships with the Spirits, Jaden?"
… That question. That was the question that neither Jaden or Alexis didn't want to hear. But, they couldn't hide it. Neither the Spirits…
"Me, Alexis, Yubel and the Priestress all share the same romantic experience. Yubel was my first friend, when I won her in a tournament! The Priestress came after, when I met up with Yugi and Téa… and late then I asked Alexis for a date. She accepted my relationship with my Spirit lovers, that even asked Yubel to stay with her as well. Didn't you, Lex?", Jaden asked to her blonde girlfriend, that was blushing.
"Yubel was also my first friend… a friend that I've missed her a lot. But ever since I got to see her again, my life has been changing for good. Just like I love Jaden, I also love Yubel, Mana, Berenice and Cleo, who've keep supporting me as the woman I am right now…", Alexis admited, while the Priestress hugged her at same time over her neck, while Yubel and Jaden smiled at each other.
Mindy gasped to that word. "Wait… did you admited you 'love' those Duel Spirits. Doesn't that make you…"
Before she could continue, Bastion coughed. "… what she means is: we're all happy for you two, Jaden and Alexis. But mostly, for finally revealing about your Spirit Friends that kept supporting you. I do however, have one weird question: that finger snap you just did. What was that all about?"
Jaden and Alexis looked to each other, and smiled at the Ra Yellow's question. "It's like an favor to ask the Spirits to get to our world as solid beings."
Yubel continued. "Most of the times it's the Spirit who is bonded to us through neuro link who does that.". She then showed a serious look. "However, this method costs energy from the duelist who is bonded with it. If you don't save enough Duel Energy, you'll start to feel weak, and sometimes your body gets damaged through that…"
"Sometimes you get brain damage…", Mana indicated.
"Or some symptoms over your body…", Berenice continued.
"Or even your Nervous System getting out of control.", Cleo finished, making the other students gulp at all that.
"… and that's why I always have my Love for dueling, guys. I'm sorry for keeping this secret from all of you, but Yubel and the Priestresses are ones I enjoy to stay my love life together with Lex. They kept giving me the company I needed from all this time, together as well with Syrus as my step-brother. I know that he also feels the same way…", Jaden finished his explanation, with Alexis placing her head over his chest.
"I also feel the same thing that Jaden does. This is why we ask you all to keep this a secret from everyone else. They don't need to know about the Spirit existence for now… it could cause a lot of missunderstanding and confusion between all of us. Is it okay with all of you?", she asked them.
"I'm okay with it…", Bastion replied. "As long I can also talk with these Spirit friends of yours sometimes, for my future searches…"
"I'm also in, duh…", Chumley smiled at the couple. "Whoever has been Jaden's friends, is also my friends in my book. Although I don't like read too many books…", he admited with a sweat smile, while everyone laughed.
"We'll also keep the secret, don't worry Lex. As long as… we could get to talk to some of your friends too… for some 'romantic topics'…", Mindy admited with an embarassed look.
"We… do have some things to ask them, that is. About future plans.", Jasmine added, making the Spirits smirking for knowing what she meant.
"Sure… WE'LL be glad to talk with you well, girls.", Mana said.
"Treat us as your sisters, and everything will go WELL.", Berenice added.
"Just don't get too depended on Yubee, cause she's mine…", Cleo admited with an embarassed look, while receiving a hug from her back from the demoness.
"Don't feel jealous of them, my Cleo. You already know that you're also mine…", Yubel purred at the excited Priestress, leaving Jaden and Alexis sweat laugh at the two Spirit behaving. Yubel then sighed, "I guess it's time to give you all what you've been looking for: the neuro-link."
After a second, a dark orb that was on her arms dissipated in five different orbs, to give to Bastion, Chumley, Jasmine, Mindy and Pegasus. "I'll ask you all to place that orb close to your hearts. That way, you'll obtain some Spirit power with you…", Yubel asked them.
They did as she asked, hugging the orb close to their hears, making Yubel's eyes turning purple… "Okay, now then! NEURO-LINK: OPEN!"
The orbs suddenly got inside each student, they started feeling weird… as a purple aura was surrounding them during some seconds. After some time, Yubel and the Priestress felt like it was time for their real bodies fading away.
"… Thank god for that duel I did against Syrus.", Jaden said with his hand on his head from some little hurt.
"This is why we share our duel energy together with the spirits. I also felt some pain, I deserve a duel after this, hun. What do you say we do one quick in our room?", Alexis asked her boyfriend, while he smiled nervously.
As for the others, they still could see the Spirits waving at them before vanishing away to their world.
"My… I think this means I can make more designs of cards, by using friendly Spirit Monsters as references? That makes my work way more easier and FUN!", Pegasus admited with a happy grin. "I'll be going now everyone… ta ta.", he waved them to go to his room.
"This will also help me studying further and further about these Spirits story through equations. If you ladies and gentlemen excuse me, I've got equations to do…", Bastion told them, returning to his room.
"… Yeah, me too. I want to get… some sleep before getting to Domino City.", Chumley said, walking fast to his room, while following Pegasus and Bastion.
Jasmine and Mindy were the only ones close to Jaden and Alexis. "You two don't mind if we come to your room to watch the duel?", Jasmine offered.
"We want to spend the rest of our time in your room, until we get to our destination… is it okay with you?", Mindy asked.
Jaden and Alexis nodded. "Sure, come get inside for seeing the best duel of your lives…", the boy replied.
After getting into Jaden and Alexis' room in the boat, the time spent was all about restoring their energy back from fun and entertaining duels between Jaden and Alexis. No life at risk, no depressing time… only the two duelists and the two spectators in one room having fun on the next two hours. Not after receiving a message from the captain of Kaiba Corp Maritime Cruise telling them about reaching the destination.
*Meanwhile, with Seto and Syrus*
"Darling… please praise me more!", Dee asked her boyfriend, while hugging him over her chest.
"Ahh… no fair, I also want to hug Syrus! I acomplished my job as his girlfriend, so I deserve to take him!", Ghostrick Socuteboss sounded from behind the bluenette, while hugging on his back.
"Dear me… this isn't a way for two celebrating a win, isn't it?", Angel of Mischief asked, watching her owner being sandwiched from his two lovers. "… I still wonder where could the others be?"
Speaking of the devil, she sensed the Magician's Valkyrias walking close to the sanctuary. Her heart started beating for seeing them back. "AHHH… MY ANGELS HAVE RETURNED!", she shouted excited, making Val and Kelly getting frightened for the Angel.
Before Angel of Mischief could hug into Val in a sudden jump, the older Valkyria extended her arm to stop her 'attack'; pushing her away from them, leaving the poor Ghostrick on the floor.
"… Such Mischief I have to get myself into… why doesn't they like me back?", she asked with animated tears falling from her eyes.
"That's because your ways to hug us are too brute…", Val answered her with a sigh. "Just try act calmer, and I might accept it…"
Kelly smiled for seeing Ebon on the Sanctuary. "Hey, Master Ebon. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Dark Magician chuckled for seeing the ones he once asked to supervise on Syrus and Dee during Christmas. "It's also good to see you two again, Val, Kelly… How have two been progressing so far?"
The two Valkyrias smiled at him. "The usual… We've been supporting on Syrus' and Dark Magician Girl's back. But also, we've been invited to work in the Hyper Library, since they're asking for more helpers to come join."
"They're really nice helpers, Master Ebon! There's not a single day I don't want to see them working really hard to get stronger for Syrus!", Kelly added animated, placing her hands over her cheeks.
"I see…", Ebon said, looking at the bluenette, that was now free from the grips from the two girls. "You've been busy lately, haven't you, Syrus?"
"You don't imagine how right you are, Ebon!", the boy replied. "The days back at Academy have been really pushed. Not mentioning yesterday… it was quite chaotic, let me tell you."
Dark Magician held on his serious look. "… Was there anything wrong that I might not know about?"
Syrus tried to not sound soo sad about it, although something has been lost to him. But after remembering back what Dark Magician Girl told him, he returned back with a smile. "… What's in the past, stays in the past, Ebon. Me and my friends are totally fine, as well it's my heart and soul for them.", he answered, while caressing his collar on his neck.
Seto looked at the way how Syrus answered, but he could tell some pain was stuck on him to answer Ebon's question. Maybe something really happened that did make him feel in pain… something he would probably tell him afterwards.
"Then everything is okay with you, if that's what you're saying.", Ebon then picked a card from his deck and gave it to Syrus. "Here… take this card. It's the least I can give you for coming this far with Dee by your side. But also as a thanks… from that time the deck thief tried to beat you with my owner's deck", Ebon told him, remembering back when that boy Dimitri played him and Dark Magician Girl on his side of the field.
The bluenette picked the card Ebon gave him, and saw what it was… he couldn't believe Dark Magician would give him a card such a strong card as that one. He guessed that's what made him a trustful friend too.
"Thank you so much, Ebon. I'll be sure to comeback again to this World, so we can talk and duel again… if it's okay with you.", the bluenette told him, extending his hand.
Dark Magician also extended his hand to him, smiling. "We don't need to always duel against each other. In fact… I would like to invite you sometime to Magical Citadel of Endymion.", he explained. "I want to introduce you to some of my Magician co-workers. I'm sure they would be happy to know how far you've come as a Master of your 'Magicians'."
Syrus was speechless for that. Just how great would sound for him to be introduced by THE Dark Magician to a Citadel of Magicians; he couldn't wait. "That would be an honour, Ebon. I'll pass by, when time comes… if we get to meet again."
"We will, eventually, Syrus. Take care of yourself… and your 'disciples'.", Ebon looked straight to Dark Magician Girl, the Valkyrias and the Ghostricks. "… because I know they'll help you with the same need.", and after that, he walked away from the sancuary.
As for Seto, Master with Eyes of Blue approached him and his daughter, that was still holding on the adult. The elder Spirit looked a little sad for himself, for what he said back then, for calling him an impostor because of what happened to Kisara. The sacrifice she did, because of Priest Seto's father.
He wanted to really apologize to this Seto, not trusting him from the missunderstanding, and telling him how much he wanted to pay him back for what he did.
"I… I own a big apology from my part, mister Seto.", Master with Eyes of Blue admited, giving Seto back the two Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards. "I should've listened first to my daughter about the reason why she was holding on you. But after seeing her alive again, after some long time… I lost my reasoning, and decided to go with different methods."
"Dad… it's okay. We understand you completely.", the Maiden told him, turning her head to smile at the elder spirit. "I also know that you wanted to see me back, but I didn't like it how you transported Master Seto to this world without him knowing…"
"… I guess that's another apology I should give too.", her dad added, bowing his head to the adult. "Please accept our deepest apologies, Seto. We're deeply sorry for our sudden attack on you, for how deep was your bond with our daughter."
For once, after the duel was over, the adult brownette decided to talk. "I should've thank you, instead of accepting our apologies… Master with Eyes of Blue. For the duel we had together, the threatening was forgotten.", he admited with a smile, while the elder man looked at him.
"What made me want to keep dueling was for wanting to see if I could reach new levels of my dueling… to keep a long promise with Kisara… a long time ago. Priest Seto… or so was my past ancestor may have died, trying to destroy the darkness that his father corrupted him. But me… I had to continue that Promising Legacy, of seeing my sould of the Blue Dragon again. And it was thanks to that kid…", he pointed a finger at Syrus, "… that my Legacy has been ongoing."
Master looked at the bluenette, decided to walk close to him, and so did his family. Syrus felt himself embarassed for seeing him getting grouped by other Spirits, while his lovers were just there to spectate him.
"Your name was Syrus… wasn't it?", Master asked him.
"Hum… yes, I… pleasure to meet you?", the small boy asked them back.
Sage suddenly hugged him by the shoulder with a slight smile. "I don't know why, but I like this guy. Not only because he brought our sister to life, but he also he's funny!"
Protector sighed at the bluenette. "We're sorry for Sage. He's one that acts childish from us all… so please endure it for some seconds."
"… He's just too small, it has the same height you had as a kid, Protector…", Sage mentioned it as a joke to his big brother. It resulted with Protector looking insulted, while Priestress and Oracle with Eyes of Blue deadpanned from the two brothers fighting.
"Syrus…", Priestress called him, and bowed her head with a smile. "We thank you your welcome in our sanctuary, but mostly to get our sister back to life."
"We'll be sure to remember you, our saviour!", Oracle told him with a smile as well, while Syrus felt a little unconfortable by that. He decided to also bow his head.
"The… THE PLEASURE WAS ALL MINE!", Syrus suddenly turned his head to Seto. "Hum… now that things got taken care here, shouldn't we also keep going? I think it's about time to return to our world for the duel experiments."
Seto shooked his head with an honest smile. "You can rest for today, Syrus. You already did enough… when you dueled against Jaden and showed your real power there. Tomorrow I'll ask your company in my Corporation. Return to Yugi and Téa, because they want you there… right?"
Syrus remembered back in the island about the call he had and smiled back at the adult. "Yeah, you're right, Seto. I'll be returning to my world then… I just hope they're not worried about me!"
After looking to everyone at the sanctuary, he waved at them all. "I'll be sure to return back to Duel Monster Realm, so we get to talk again, guys. But I have to go… Dee?", he called his girlfriend, who nodded hugging on his arm and summoned her wand.
After five seconds, Syrus and his lovers vanished away from the Realm, only standing Master with Eyes of Blue, his descendants and the tall serious adult with Kisara next to him.
"So… what are the next plans for you five?", Seto asked the Spirits.
Master looked him in the eyes, as if he wanted to tell him something, but was afraid of…
"Seto… I ask you to keep my daughter safe in your arms. Kisara is a pure and innocent maiden, with a dragon soul inside her. And I could tell she holds a bond with you and your dragons, because she does love you…", Master told him with his serious look.
He then walked close to the adult and gave him two other cards. "Keep these with you two. It's all I have that can strength you two. We think this is the time we'll depart away to our home again, with a smile with us for seeing that everything went fine."
"We have more training to do…", Sage informed, holding on his scepter.
"Our clan and our pride stands in line against our foes.", Protector said, with his sword behind him.
"And the dragons are the ones we hold dear within our hearts and soul.", Priestress admited, grabbing on her scale.
"That's what makes us the 'Eyes of Blue'! One of the strongest clans of the Legendary Dragon!", Oracle with Eyes of Blue declared, holding her lance with her.
Seto wasn't feeling comfortable for seeing Kisara family depparting away from her. For some reason, there was something on Seto's heart that told him to stay with him… without staying on his and Kisara's way…
Suddenly an idea came to him, and he grinned out of the bat. "You all think that family is important as is your clan, don't you?", he asked them directly, making them trying to understand where he was going to. "… I do think the same way. That's why my company is also in hold of my little brother, Vice-president of Kaiba Corporations, Mokuba Kaiba."
"What're you trying to say?", Master with Eyes of Blue asked curious.
"I'm telling… that he would be interested to also know about you giving him a little help. Just like me… he holds a liking on Blue-Eyes White Dragon. And I would appreciate it, if you all could support him on problems that may occur while I'll be out of my Corporation. So… what do you all say?", Seto asked them, extending an arm on the elder Spirit. "Do we have an alliance between us?"
"… Mister Seto… after what we did to you, you still want our company?", Master asked him, while he simply nodded. "I can't deny it, since we're in dept with you. That would be our honor, of course. That also means we get to see my daughter in times to times!"
"Save those cheers for later. In the meantime… should I call you all for different names? Calling you by 'Master' sounds a little weird…", Seto admited.
"You can call me by Alphen ('Alpha').", the Elder Spirit asked him.
"Call me by Law!", Sage with Eyes of Blue pointed a finger at him playfully.
"Dohalim is the name!", Protector with Eyes of Blue told him with a challenging smirk.
"And I'm Rinwell, as Kisara likes to call me.", Priestress admited.
"And finally, I'm Shion! We'll be pleased to support your family as well, mister Seto.", Oracle with Eyes of Blue bowed her head to him.
"Hmm… I'll remember all your names deep within me. Because I know I'll might need you in the future… just as you'll need my help as well.", Seto told them. "Alphen… it's my time to go, so you might as well get to my brother. I'll give him updates about your meeting, as well he'll be glad to give you all a fitting space to help yourselves."
Alphen smilled at the adult decision and nodded in confirmation. "We'll be in our way then… to meet the Mokuba Kaiba you mentioned. I'll wish you two a nice time together in our world.", and with those last words, the five spirits vanished away.
Standing only Seto and Kisara at the sanctuary, the adult saw how Maiden was smilling at him. "Master Seto… I thank you for the bottom of my heart. For forming this alliance with the family that once raised me, and I get to finally see them again."
"I did what I thought it would be the right thing, Kisara. They are your family, and I don't want to be heartless enough to separate you from your beloved ones…", Seto told her, not trying to sound so serious about it.
Kisara blushed for seeing how her crush was being too soft next to her. "If only I could recompense you in some way for your kindness, Master…"
"Just stay by my side… forever. I'll be the one guarding you, without nobody standing in our way. I'll do whatever I'll have in power to stand against those who'll be in our way, Kisara. That's my role as your owner…", he told her, looking at her pure Blue-Eyes.
"… If that's what you'll do for me, then I have something to show you.", the Maiden told him, grabbing his hand. "Please, follow me, Master…"
Walking away from the Sanctuary, Kisara and Seto walked with hands holding on each other. Seto could see a bunch of Spirit monsters looking at him, some were Beast-Type and Beast-Warrior-Type monsters working together at their homeland; some Winged-Beast and Fairy-Types that Seto never saw them before were also floating over them; Spellcasters and Warriors crossing the road they were with some stare for the human…
This was indeed the Spirit Realm, where some of the most Rare Monsters lived in harmony for the sake of their world. This was one of the things that Seto never imagine he would watch before: a place where the Duel Spirits have their own meaning to live and stay in.
"Why did you brought me here? Is there something from far away that will guide me to something?", the adult asked the Maiden.
"There is… a place I want to show you. Where the Legendary Dragons come by once every decade. It's the place where my family was also born… it was my home of birth."
After walking into a giant forest, they saw what it looked like a deserted place, it had some broken columns and there was a dragon statue at the center.
"I welcome you, Seto… to the Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords!", Kisara smiled at him, and took a knee in front of the Dragon Statue. With her arms crossed, she started praying to the Divine Dragon standing in front of her, as if she wanted to call for something…
As Seto was with his arms crossed close to her, he sensed something near them… the footsteps made him turn his head to the source of the sounding.
There stood a blonde knight, wearing platinum scales on his armor and a white cape behind him, holding on a long sword on his right arm. Next to him, there was another knight, smaller but stronger than his friend, also wearing his platinum scale armor and white cape, he was holding on an axe.
"It still feels awkward for the Noble Knights deciding when would be the next time they would join forces with us. Like, let's be real: their Noble Arms, together with our Divine Dragons?", the blonde man told him.
"For me it doesn't matter what or how they plan us to tag along with them… there's just something with them that bothers me. I don't like how Medraut and Borz like to decide all the tactics together… they have 'deeper' meanings in it!", the stronger knight told him with a deadpanned look.
They took a look at the adult that was closed to the ruins with the Maiden, and thought they were invaders…
"HEY! Who are you, and what you two think you're doing in our Divine Sanctum?", the first knight asked that question directly to Seto.
"One of these two is not from this world, Paladin! He must be a Human, or so he has the looks of it!", the other one said to his friend.
"I know, Guardian! That's why I'm staying alert for these two… except for that Maiden he's with. I'm sensing something in her… she has a soul of a dragon inside her!", Paladin admitted, watching the Maiden staying close to Seto with a scared look.
"Whoever you two might be, you're missunderstanding something…", Seto admited to the two knights with his serious look. 'And it's not the first time this is happening… not in the last 2 hours.'
"You lie, invader! You're trying to take away the Dragon Statue from this Ruin. This is our sacred place, as we are the Callers of the Divine Dragons!", the blonde knight told them. "But we do have manners, to introduce ourselves to the enemy before expelling them from here… the name's Paladin of Felgrand, while the one next to me is Guardian of Felgrand! Who are you two?"
"I'm Seto Kaiba, the human who got invited here to watch my… associate Kisara, as known as The Maiden With Eyes of Blue!", the brownette explained to the two Warriors.
"Oh… so that explains her Dragon soul stuck in her. That must mean you're descendant of the Blue-Eyes Legendary Dragons!", Paladin said with a thinking tone.
Guardian smiled for seeing the Maiden. "So that means that the sixth dragon has returned! The Blue-Eyes White Dragon era has finally been reunited."
Paladin looked to his friend. "What do you mean by the Sixth dragon? Weren't it supposed to be only five of them? We learnt it was White Dragon, Alternative White Dragon, Dragon Spirit of White, Abyss Dragon and Solid Dragon!"
"That's because she's the sixth dragon, the new generation of the Dragons: Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon!", Guardian explained to him with a smile. He then walked closer to the Maiden and kindly kneeled in front of her. "It's an honour to finally meet you from the Eyes of Blue clan, Kisara!"
"Eh… the pleasure is mine…", the Maiden sounded with a nervous look. She then looked the Paladin, who was shrugging from his friend's mannerism.
"Well, I guess this is where we cross paths against a Human and a Maiden that were busy on their date! Just tell us the reason WHY would do in such a Sacred Place like this one…", he asked, but then saw the Dragon Statue glowing to light. "… Wait, a decade has already passed?"
Suddenly, some sudden tremors started sounding, as giant Dragons were flying near the ruins. There could be seen Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Seiyaryu, Harpie's Pet Dragon, Darkblaze Dragon, Tri-Horned Dragon, Armed Protector Dragon, Nebula Dragon and Tyrant Dragon. They all stood mighty too close to the Seto, Kisara, and the two Warriors, that suddenly kneeled to them.
If all that wasn't enough, a flying man and woman could be seen flying from the sky to the same Ruins. The male had red-eyes, he was dressed in a King black-celestial armor with giant dragon gold wings on his back; he had a giant sword with a gold dragon head in the holder.
The woman had blue-eyes, her hair had some antennas stuck on her, she was dressed in a Queen's white vest with some orange lines around it; she had four dragon wings on her back and was holding a shield with her.
"Dragons from all Dragon lands, welcome once again for this reunion of the Legendary Dragons! It's been a decade, and so we would appreciate to hear about your informs…", the King asked.
The first dragon started growling, as if could talk directly to the King. 'We got information about my allies of Red-Eyes! We're firming into a new Level…'
Next up it was Seiyaryu: 'Our clan has met new expectation as Starry Knights! We've been improving as well ever since the last decade!'
For the next dragon, a female voice sounded from her growling: 'From the Harpie Lady's clan, and from my owner's strategies, we have been improving as well! We've been also forming alliance with the Red-Eyes clan…"
As the other dragons finshed their talk, the Queen understood all their information. "We're glad that everything is going too well for you all! This night we may prepare ourselves for the upcoming Ritual of the Divine Dragons, to seek for the strongest Legendary Dragon of us all!"
The King nodded, and then saw Paladin and Guardian of Felgrand in front of him. As well there was the adult and a Maiden close to him as well. Seto was the one that made the King look confused…
"In such way am I seeing a human in our Spirit World? Are you perhaps a traveller from different worlds?", the King asked him with a serious look.
"Or are you here to claim something from here?", the Queen added on the question list.
Maiden stood in front of him with her arms opened. "King Felgrand, Queen Arkbrave… this is my owner, Master Seto Kaiba, from the Ancestors of Priest Seto. He's here because I asked him to make me company on my homeland here in the Ancient Ruins…"
Felgrand looked at the Maiden, his eyes got wide open. "Miss Kisara… I never thought I would see you again after the last 3000 years. Was he… the one who revived you?", he turned his head again to Seto.
"If he was… then that means you came for pleading in something, weren't you, Kisara?", Queen Arkbrave asked.
Kisara nodded at them. "Yes… I do have something to ask you, Queen, King! Please, wouldn't you two mind joining forces with my Master against the Darkness of his world?"
King Felgrand turned his attention to Seto. "Could you please elaborate what Maiden is asking?"
The adult looked at them, and went straight to the point. "I've learnt from my once rival Yugi Muto, the King of Games from my World… about a strange evil force that can come in any time… sometime to cause destruction uppon this world. That same force occurred in one of my student's past-reincarnation, known as the Supreme King Judai! They call it… the Light of Destruction! That's why I'm in need as many alliances needed from either this world or my world!"
"Interesting…", King Felgrand said with a thinking tone. "So… what can YOU do for us to get allongside your alliance?"
Queen looked serious at Seto, from Felgrand's asking. "Even if we tag allong with you, we still don't know if you're saying the truth, or is it all made-up. We need you to do something to us, while we'll be alongside you!"
Seto looked at the two Spirits and gave his honest answer. "I might just be a human that works in a millionaire company, that develops a Duel Monster game for the sake of Dueling Evolution. BUT… If there's a chance for me to work in this Realm to fight against the forces of evil with my power, I can join your forces as well!", he then extended his hand to the King.
"With my forces and yours combined, we'll bring peace to both worlds! That's a role I want to fulfill in these ruins… as long as you're fine with it! So… do we have a deal?", he asked him.
King Felgrand looked at Seto's arm, as if he wanted to set agreement with him. He suddenly let himself transform into the Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand in front of his own eyes. As so did the Queen, letting herself become Arkbrave Dragon.
'Mister Seto… if there's a way for you to make alliance with us, will be if you can hold dear on our powers combined.' The Felgrand Dragon said.
'We won't promise that we'll be useful with ONLY us… it'll be up to you to decide your destiny! If you join in the future as forces of good, we'll be your strength… will you join the forces of evil, we'll CRUSH you!', Arkbrave Dragon added. As they said that, the Ruins they were in started glowing even more, as if three cards came out from the Dragon Statue…
Those three cards went straight to Seto's hands, as if a full heart-beat could be heard inside his chest. Looking at the cards he was holding on, he saw how powerful they looked… as if a new force was getting into his deck. His mind was setting up to a new direction… as if he was looking, to the Evil of the Spirit World.
'Great Wicked Lord… ZORC!', he thought and then asked to the two Dragons. "So… it appears he'll return again in some time, isn't he?"
'We're still not sure… HOWEVER, we know about Priest Seto, your past ancestor, falling victim from forces of Darkness, while Kisara was sacrificed instead of his son. We won't allow it to happen again to HER, if it means ending your Life, mister Seto.', Dragon Lord Felgrand told him with a growl.
'We will be going now, but we'll be tagging alongside you! We have a Ritual to perform between us, dragons. If you happen to not use your Dragons for sometime, we'll be asking you to bring them here for the Divine Dragon Reunion!', Arkbrave told him.
"I'm fine with it! Give me some time, and the Dragons will come there! As for me… I'll be having some people to ask for help!", Seto informed them. With that saying, Felgrand, Arkbrave and the eight Dragons went away from the Ruins to their deserved homelands.
The only people left was the two Felgrand knights, who looked at Seto with a surprised look.
"… This was… the first time we saw someone communicate with the Dragon Lords Felgrand and Arkbrave. That was… interesting per say.", Paladin admited.
"Took you some courage to hold your breath to talk with their forms. And also the threatening they gave to you…", Guardian told him. "… just what is your secret?"
Seto smirked at them. "I once already fought against forces of evil from Orichalcos, and all I just thought I was hallucinating from seeing my Blue-Eyes pulverizing everything. Comparing to this… it was a simple talk."
The two knights looked to each other, and gave a challengin grin at the adult. "We like you, human…", Paladin self-declared.
"Wouldn't you mind us tagging along with your dragons, for the alliance of the Divine Dragons?", Guardian asked. They revealed two cards with them, showing them to Seto.
'If I would know this would be a Gift exchange between Spirits, I would give them a place to work with me, instead of those lousy employees I have in my office.', the adult thought with a smirk. "I appreciate it, Paladin, Guardian… if there's a way I can be useful for the two of you… just teleport me away to this world.", he said, holding on the cards.
The two knights satarted laughing from their new owner's asking. "… Sure, Master Seto. We'll be glad to ask you to train with the Divine Dragons to become one of us."
"There will be lot of days we'll be battling with other evil spirits from this world. But don't mind asking us for help in meantime. Our time will be more entertaining in your World as well!", Guardian admited.
"Thank you, you two…", Seto admited, then looking to Kisara. "I guess this is the time where we'll deppart away, isn't it?"
The two knights nodded. "We'll be meeting you again, Master Seto. We'll see you in another time… our friend.", Paladin told them.
"Until next time, you two stay well… in your date. Wish you the best of luck!", Guardian said, making Kisara flush a little for the 'date' word.
As the two knights waved and walked away from the ruins, Seto and Kisara were finally alone in the Maiden's homeland…
"Well… for your way to show me your place of birth, it turned out to be a Dragon party.", Seto chuckled to his Maiden, while she looked worried. "Hey… are you okay, Kisara?"
"I… this wasn't supposed to happen like this, Seto. What I said to them wasn't supposed to be what I meant. I said it out of loud, because I actually didn't know what else to say.", Kisara told him nervously. "I just… thought that I would help you, but now I think I put you in a life risk…"
Seto saw what she meant, and stood in front of her. Holding on her hands, the two were now sharing a calm and nice moment together…
"Only for you to worry about me like this, Kisara… I feel like I don't deserve your kindness.", Seto told her with his honest tone. "I still look back, myself at the mirror… for sometimes seeing the bad person I once was. I used to betray the others who once took care of me… I was tyrant, I was selfish… I wasn't being a human, as others would describe it."
"… But you know that I don't look at you that way, because I know the real Seto, who you really are!", the Maiden told him. "I know that you want attention from those who look at you as the best, right? That's why… you wanted to meet with the Pharao again. Because you wanted to show him… that you were the best!"
Seto felt a little hurt for hearing Kisara admitting the truth. Yes… he built that reactor back then… not only to create that ener-D source to create the Synchro project that ended up being a disaster, if it wasn't for Syrus; but because he wanted to find out clues to get back to the afterlife to face-off against the Pharao Atem once again.
"I feel a little ashamed of myself, really…", Seto admited. "Thinking how a millionaire like me would always get all I wanted. But I never got to find what was the most important thing back when I was a teenager…"
"And what was that, Seto?", the Maiden asked.
"… Love! I admit… I loved the Blue-Eyes White Dragons always standing on my side, protecting me from the foes who dared to stand in my way. I… I used to be an agent of Destruction. But my love for those Dragons wasn't platonic as I thought it would be. It was all just an illusion… A way to keep myself busy, while the others had those friends they like to call.", the adult said.
Kisara suddenly showed her precious smile to him, as she grabbed on Seto's shoulders. "If it's Love you want… It's my Love for you what you'll get, my Master~.", as she closed their distance, their lips touched each other.
It took a moment for the serious Seto to process what was going on, while his mouth was being busy with Kisara's sweet lips caressing his, which pleasurable kisses he never thought about. His brain wasn't processing so well, as if he would collapse on the next seconds of the love-kissing between them. But Kisara didn't want that moment to be ruined, as she used her hands to hold on the brownette's hair.
"Stay… closer to me… my Master~.", Kisara asked him, over her pleased look, as some saliva was being passed to each mouth, while Seto was feeling embarassed and showing his semi-red cheeks. "This's the time where you have to be noble… and accept your Maiden's Love for you."
"I… I love you, Kisara…", Seto admited her with his flushed face, making the Maiden smile at him. Kaiba's back got stuck on a broken pillar, while Kisara was in front of him in a way to not let him escape.
Using her hands to caress his red cheeks, she closed their distance again… kissing her Master with such passion, while Seto did the same thing, using his hands to grab on her hip and back to hug her closer. He was feeling more free from his worries, as the love feeling was coming to him.
He could tell how much Kisara wanted more of him, the same level as he wanted her. She was HIS Maiden, while he was HER Master. Nothing else would be compared for them, they couldn't tell what they wanted the most after themselves…
"Master Seto… more. Please give more of this feeling of Love~! I love you so much~…", Kisara begged him innocently, which made Seto's heart starting beating faster. "I want to meet your serious side, Seto. Because I want to love all of you…"
"Ki… I can't show it to you, Kisara… You might hate me, for the tempting feeling I have hidden inside me.", Seto warned her worried, making her take a time to understand what he was hidding from her.
'Kisara is such a great Woman, I want to make her mine'; 'If this goes anyway further, I won't be able to handle my ego anymore…'; 'Must contain myself… She must be… a pure woman… to handle my… excitement.'
Kisara's cheeks started growing red from listening to Seto's thoughts. He didn't want to reveal, because he wanted to show how gentle he could be to her… it was making her feel it was unfair.
She started to take out her vests in front of him, making Seto look at her with a confused look. "Hey… what are you doing?", he asked her with embarassment.
"Don't you see it, Master~? I'm preparing myself… for you to take me as your woman~.", she admited, revealing her beautiful naked bust to him, as her clothes were now over her waist. "Unless… this isn't the body you wished I had…'
However, she could hear Seto's thoughts about her slight 'curves' and her slight-paled body skin.
'Are you joking, woman? You're standing in front of me with your beautiful naked… D… Dragon-Cup chest in front of me, I might not be able to take my eyes out of it! It makes me want more of you, Kisara!'
"…Oh, my I guess I took it the wrong way, Master Seto~. It looks like you want more of me, isn't it?", Kisara asked him with her innocent smile, making Seto's excitement to bust up. He was at his limit…
"Kisara… you asked for it! I hope you don't regret what will come next!", he told her, taking out his jacket and covering over her back. He started kissing her tenderly, while gently hugging her to place her on the ground where the jacket could support her. "This… might be the last seconds you might think about before I'll… take advantage from you~."
Kisara showed some tears on her eyes from happiness, as her arms were caressing his cheeks and lips. "Take me, Seto… make me yours for this time. In this sanctuary and homeland where once my parents gave me birth~…"
"K… Kisara…!", he called for her name for one last time, before the two of them were feeling seconds over minutes of pleasure. Kisara could tell how much Seto was touching her on her sensitive places, while she was with her eyes closed; she was moaning from the Ruins that could give their time a divine one…
*Sometime later*
Seto and Kisara were resting on the ground after their time spent over their wild ride. No wonder why Seto was the one holder of the Spirit of the White Dragon: only she was the only woman he needed in his life, which made him feel enjoyed for having her by his side in their pleasurable time.
"Seto… thank you, for making me the happiest woman here.", Kisara told him, covering her naked body with the rest of Seto's jacket that could hide almost all of her body. "Just… good thing that despise you look like a rogue man, you still show some kindness over your way to love me~. It makes me want to have more times like this with you…"
The adult smiled while looking at her. "Me too, Kisara. Thank you for falling in love for me, making me forget the hard times I kept having in the past. Because all I see now it's our time together in the future…"
She held his cheek with her gentle hand, and kissed him one more time. "Me too, Master~… I also can't wait to stay together with you in the future days…", she then picked her fallen clothes to dress herself again, while also asking her lover to help her on the dressing…
They were on foot, thinking about returning back to Human world. "Well, this was… a fun date, didn't you think the same, Kisara?", Seto asked her.
"Yes, I loved it… staying with you by my side for all this time spent with you. I hope we'll have times like these again.
"Surely we will, because our time together has already started!", he held on her hands, intertwining their fingers. "Would you do the honors?"
"The pleasure's all mine…", she said, as she started chanting some words, creating a white space under them. Seto had to close his eyes from the illumination flowing throught him, as they got teleported away from the Ruins.
*With Syrus*
During the date happening between Seto and Kisara, the boy was walking through a long hallway to another of the door. He could see how tall and clean expensive it looked on the pavement he was in… it made him feel like he didn't belong there at all.
"This… only this area most cost half the price of the entire island I'm living at…", he said to himself with a nervous laugh, while seeing his lovers walking close to him. While the Ghostricks were on his left side, with Socuteboss holding on his arm, Dee and the Valkyrias stayed on his right side, Dark Magician Girl holding on his right arm.
"Hey, don't feel bad darling~… You could see how much Seto already looks at you as a trustful person to pass by his place.", she told him with a teasing look. "Besides… this place makes it look like you're a very rich and healthy duelist in our eyes."
Val started smirking from that comment. "Heh… from here, we could tell that Syrus is fine in any place he is…"
"… as long as we stay by darling's side. It makes our time… memorable.", Kelly admited excited, with her hands on her cheeks.
Angie (Ghostrick Angel of Mischief) was meanwhile smiling at Syrus. "If you ever want to come by to our mansion to greet our friends, you can always ask us, honey~…"
"I know that he will ask us… this is MY boyfriend who we're talking about. We will have our honeymoon there, everyone will celebrate me becoming his spouse… and we'll have… a nice time together in my room… ehe-eheheh…", the succubus started having some 'interesting' thoughts about her crush next to him.
"… Sure, anything you all girls say. As long as we can all have fun, I'm fine with anything… because I love you all the same ammount. Don't you think the same, Dee?", Syrus asked.
"Absolutely, darling… I'll go with you whenever you'll be! That's what I'm here for…", she hugged him close to her side.
As they were on the other side of the hallway, they saw that the compartiment of Seto's house was connected to the enterprise. Syrus' eyes got more admired to see how much advanced it looked from the technology they were using…
"Ah… if it isn't THE Syrus Truesdale?", a teenage voice sounded from some staircase of a boy walking with a white laboratory jacket. "Welcome to the KaibaCorporations, I'm the vice-president Mokuba Kaiba… also known as Seto's little-brother."
"Oh… pleasure's all mine… mister Mokuba. I, huh… it looks like I was in need to get a meeting with Yugi and Téa at the hospital.", the bluenette informed with a nervous tone.
Mokuba started laughing at it. "Ah… yeah, I also heard about it from Yugi. Their baby was borned healthy and happy in their arms, they were so glad you could come join there to meet him. But… I wanted to tell you something before you leave, Syrus. It's something very important."
"Uhmm, sure.", the bluenette saw how Mokuba looked at him serious and followed him to his work place: Mokuba's office. He suddenly showed him some interesting news replayed from the last day.
'Breaking news: Miraculous Light coming down to KaibaCorporation stops what could seem to be the most dangerous explosion from the city?'
'We got informations from deeper view that somewhere in the clouds it could be seen a light being pointed from the sky, but it wasn't from the Sun?'
'Duel Academy News: Slifer Red 1st Year School Kid styles a new Summoning: Synchro Summon. Was he related to the catastrophe? Was it all a coincidence?'
Syrus saw throught the three titles from the Domino City journals, and slightly gulped. If this was the way how he would be the famous word popular, it was making him look nervous. He didn't want it to be THAT way. He's been through a LOT yesterday, he would rather forget about it.
But it was impossible for those who were envolved to the KaibaCorp case. Was Syrus about to be a 'target' from this news? He didn't know what to do next…
"I… I don't know what to say, mister Mokuba.", the boy told the older teen.
"Call me just 'Mokuba', for now. And don't worry about these minor details, since me and Seto are already used to these kind of things. I just need to know the truth!", he asked the bluenette, turning th attention to him.
"… I, this might take some time to explain…", Syrus admited.
"And I have ALL that time for that, boy. Spit it out!", Mokuba asked him, relaxing on his chair, while Syrus sat on a chair closed to him, and decided to tell him about his time on the other day, trying to not tell about… them.
After all explained, Mokuba nodded at him.
"So, you're saying that from the missing of your Grandpa Marcus Truesdale, your Spell Card PowerBond was gone, and got exchanged for the Synchro Monster and a tuner?"
"Yes, that's what it sounds like… although it sounded too weird for me as well, how I got to see the cards flash from my eyes, seeing how my Gear Magician wasn't the Tuner I once knew before…", Syrus admited.
"Syrus… you've been hiding something from me… and I know what it is.", the younger Kaiba smirked at him, making the bluenette get lost on his words. "You can see Monster Spirits, can't you?"
"…", that question made him lost on track. He couldn't believe besides Jaden and Seto from who he talked today, he would've known that the younger Kaiba would've known about them. "How do you know about them?"
"Because we told him, Syrus.", a familiar elder voice sounded, appearing to the Human World. "It's been a while wasn't it, saviour?"
"M… Master with Eyes of Blue?!", Syrus asked him, while also seeing the remaining Eyes of Blue Spirits. "And the rest of them… what's the meaning of this?"
"It is what you see, Syrus.", Mokuba told him with a grin. "They connected with me through the so-called Neuro Link, where they told me about facing Seto and… your 'servant'… in a duel with them in the Spirit Realm."
"I'm not darling's servant!", Dee appeared near her boyfriend with a pout, which sounded surprising for Mokuba. "I'm his guardian and loyal lover! Only HE can call me 'servant' as he wants to!"
"That's a first time I get to see and hear a Dark Magician Girl in front of me!", the young Kaiba admited with a smirk. "This starts to get interesting… it feels like I'm a new self with this power to see other Monster Spirits at my own free willl!"
Syrus sweat laughed at him. "Ah… ahah, I don't know about it. I'll admit that I'm happy for having this power to interact with my friends and loved ones as a family for me… but I wouldn't adventure myself in look for new Monster Spirits. They have rules to be accomplished."
Sage with Eyes of Blue agreed at him. "Yes, we do… the first one being that Humans are supposed to be forbidden on entering the Spirit World, unless it is for personal reasons."
"Or else, you might end up being punished by other Spirit Monsters, if you get into mistaking that world as the Human world.", Protector with Eyes of Blue added, making Mokuba feeling a little unconfortable.
"And not forgetting that the Spirits there are real, just like our transformations are also possible in our world, at our own will!", Priestress said with her serious look.
"Okay, okay… I get it, guys… Jeez, can't I just think about it for a single second?", Mokuba pouted at the Spirits, while they shrugged. "But anyways, Syrus… Switch topics. About the Synchro Summon part of this conversation, I have this simple favor to ask you: tell them all, that my Big Brother, president of the KaibaCorporations, was the ONE who invented the first Tuner and the Synchro Monster, and gave it to you!"
"That way, you won't need to get in comfront from the paparazzi always on your back, neither people getting to annoy you on TV. Seto gave you those cards… you used them on the duel in Duel Academy. Is it okay with you?", Mokuba asked him with his serious look.
Dee saw the way how Syrus was thinking back at the time he had the Synchro Monster and the Tuner… she suddenly saw some tears escaping from him, but he was sobbing. He was enduring the pain once again. Even Mokuba saw through that…
"Did… Did I went too far about this?", he asked.
"You touched on a deep wound from darling's heart. His grandfather was the one WHO gave him the Power Bond, which was sacrificed in order to get the NEEDED POWER to absorb the infinite energy… making it needed energy to make both the Tuner and the Synchro Monster.", Dark Magician Girl explained to him.
"I received that information from some of my friends in my workspace… and I once tried to make darling forget about the pain… of never get to see his grandfather again, neither his memorial gift.", she concluded with a serious look at Mokuba, while kneeling at the crying boy, and hugged him close to her. "It's okay, Sy… It's okay for you to cry if you want~…"
"… My bad, guys.", Mokuba apologized. "I didn't know there was a deeper meaning on the tuner and the Synchro Monster, all because of the way you played them on that duel. I thought it acted as natural as it looked."
After some sniffs from the bluenette, he cleaned his eyes, and looked at the younger Kaiba with an honest smile. "It's okay… I'm fine with admitting that… I asked Seto for those cards. I don't want anything to happen to me or my closed ones just because of those news… the same thing happening for you two and this company."
Mokuba smilled at him. "No sweat, Syrus. The Media work is basically our paycheck every month. Giving a brief resumé to the people around the city about this Summoning Mechanic will be a piece of cake."
However, Syrus remembered something and gulped for a moment. "Humm… what about… the Xyz Summon method?"
Those words made Mokuba look at the bluenette confused. "Huh? Xyz what…?", that question made Syrus deadpan at him.
"Hasn't Oracle With Eyes of Blue told you nothing about it?", he asked, tuning his attention to the mother of the Eyes of Blue Spirits. Mokuba did the same thing, and thought that maybe asking her later, would lead him to something…
"I think we already had a nice talk!", he admited with an honest smile. "Thank you once again for talking and accepting my request, Syrus. We'll promise you that next time you want something from us, we'll be glad to help you! After all, we're in debt on you from saving our lifes yesterday…"
Syrus smiled at him. "I'll think later, because there's nothing I can't think of right now what I can ask you for…", he admited with a nervous laugh.
"What about a ride to the hospital?", Mokuba asked him without a second.
"… Good point, I would very much appreciate it.", Syrus and Mokuba started laughing from seeing how good ending the talk between them was. Both of them could tell… how much they wanted to become friends with each other.
They saved each other's phone contacts, before Syrus stayed in Roland's car. The open window on Syrus' side made Mokuba look at him one last time.
"Tell Yugi and Téa I said 'Hi', and send me a picture of the baby, please. I'll wish you the best of the day for today, Syrus. And thanks for coming…", Mokuba told him smilling.
"Yeah… me too, Mokuba. Best of the day for you as well!", Syrus told him, before closing the car window and leaving the place. Standing still on the Corporation parking slot, Mokuba sighed for seeing the card depparting away, while seeing also his saviour going to his own destination.
"Syrus Truesdale… I know about you from your profile data, boy. Little brother from the well-famous Duel Academy's 3rd year, Zane Truesdale. Why haven't you mentioned him once during our talk? Isn't he a brother to you?", Mokuba asked worried.
"We haven't heard about that name either when we met him in the Spirit Realm. But… we heard about this other name from Dark Magician and also your Older Brother Seto, about this Jaden who looks to be closer to him.", Master with Eyes of Blue admited to him.
"Oh… I see it now. Jaden Muto, the step-son of the Yugi's family. Now ALL this makes sense…", Mokuba smilled proudly in sight, and walked back to his workplace. 'These days will start to get more and more exciting… I can't wait.'
*At the hospital's parking slot*
"Thanks for the ride…", Syrus told the adult, closing the door to the adult that then drived away from the Hospital to go to his destination. After that, he got inside the entry, to see the receptionist of the Hospital, who looked at the kid… her eyes wide-up to see who he was.
"Humm… your face is familiar, kid.", the lady told the bluenette. The people inside the entry took a look at him as well, which made Syrus get nervous…
'Oh boy, here we go with those news…', he thought. "Umm… I know this is sudden, but is it here where Yugi and Téa Muto is?", he asked.
"You must be Syrus Truesdale-Muto, correct? They told me you would come.", the lady told him with a smile. "Go to the elevator, step 2, room 5. They are waiting for you there…"
"Thank you…", the boy told her, walking to the elevator, but saw some other adults and old people look at him with surprised faces… while he looked reeeeeally nervous about it.
Getting to the elevator, alone, the door got closed automatically as the elevator was going to the 2nd step. Dark Magician Girl suddenly appeared close to him with a smugged face.
"My, my my my… Darling got instantly famous out of nowhere from those stares, hasn't he?", she asked him with a mocked tone.
"I… It's not a thing to feel myself special about. I don't want to earn fame from strangers… I would rather save it for people who care for me.", he admited, making Dee giggle at him, while also hugging and kissing him on his cheek.
"You've been my blue star from the very beginning, darling. And you'll continue to be it, no matter who tell you the reversed. You also think you did well about making so the others won't know you were the one who created the first Synchro Monster. It made you feel more responsible for the upcoming consequences…", Dee admited to him.
"… I know, my love. I know I did, for the best of us!", Syrus admited to her, the elevator signaling the 2nd step stop. Walking outside the elevator, he walked to the room 5, opening the door. The first thing he saw once he opened the door… was his uncle Joey Wheeler running straight to him.
"Nye! Here's my Cousin!", he shouted to him with an excited tone, hugging the boy with a tight grip… while Syrus was gritting his teeth from the tightness. "I missing ya, Sy! I'm soo glad ya came!"
"Y… ye… yeah, me to… Uncle-Joey!", the bluenette answered him, getting on the ground again. "Can I get inside the room, if possible? Or did I come in a wrong timing?"
"Why of course, Sy… We were just waiting for ya after all.", Joey directed him to the bed, where Syrus could just smiled with content to what was in front of him…
His baby step-brother was on Téa Muto's arms, while Yugi Muto was next to his wife and smilling at the bluenette's welcome. All he could do… was crying for seeing how glad he was there with the family reunited: his uncle (and also best friend, as he liked to call him) Tristan Taylor, with his wife Serenity Wheeler-Taylor; Joey's Wife, Mai Vallentine-Wheeler, winking and smilling at him, and also from his surprise… Bakura Ryou was there from his day-off from his work.
"We're glad you came today, Syrus…", Tristan told him, shaking the kid's hair, while Serenity did the same, making he was laughing for seeing the Domino City's detective and his wife there in the room.
Mai appeared from behind him, and hugged him with almost the same strength her husband did, which made Syrus cringe from how surprised he looked. He couldn't understimate Mai's grip, which could make him fall suffocated…
"Here's the special kiddo I knew he would come! He's my little rival after all!", she told him with a chuckle, while Joey laughed from his wife's welcome words.
Syrus ended up sweat-smiling, and then looked at his step-father. He also walked next to Syrus, pulling his arm after Mai's hug, to also giving him a nice hug. Syrus could feel how much he missed his family… ever since the Dimitri Master of Copycats's incident.
"I missed you, my son!", Yugi told him, caressing on his blue hair.
"I missed you too, dad…", Syrus told him, gripping on his shirt. "It's been a short, but also… a long time since we don't see each other. I have a lot to talk to you about… my stories with Big Bro and my friends at my side."
"I'll be glad to hear all about it, Syrus. And so is Téa and your new little brother…", he told him, turning the attention to the bed where the mother of the little boy was.
After hearing the word 'little brother', Syrus could already tell… he would give company of Yugi's and Téa's little boy from now on, during the time where they would be working, while Syrus would spend most of his days from now on to raise him as a Big Brother should be…
The bluenette and the father walked next to him, with Syrus having his hand covering his face, while his eyes were watering…
The baby sounded so peaceful sleeping on Téa's arms, he could see some little hair on his baldy head, such small hands caressing on the confortable blanket covering him; His skin looked as tanned as Yugi's skin, as it could tell it had his genes…
"The boy… looks so lovely. Have you decided already on the name to call him?", Syrus asked to the two parents, making them smile at him.
"We did, Syrus. And you'll be surprised by it, since we thought the name would be fitting for him… Marcus Muto…", Téa told him, making Syrus kneel from his spot, while letting out more tears from the surprise they gave him with the baby's name.
Yugi caressed on Syrus' back, as he could tell how much his step-son was sobbing from the called name. It almost represented as if his grandfather had never died on him, as if the kid would follow his steps from now on, thanks to his Big Brother's help.
The family reunion was so far, the best thing that Syrus could ask for, while also having his lovely Spellcaster also showing him a smile with some tears also leaving from to her cheeks…
– END OF CHAPTER 33 –
*At the boat*
"Hmhmhmmm~… My, my. My cards designs are going so great so far. Some yellow here, dark red there… and DONE!", Pegasus said, looking at his professional notebook, looking at the art of it. "This will be another gifted card for one of my dearest friends…"
Suddenly, he heard his door getting knocked. Who's there?"
"I… it's me, mister Pegasus.", the tall Slifer said, opening the door at the Duel Monster's creator.
"My… Chumley-boy. What do I have the honor to talk with the fifth best student of Duel Academy?", Pegasus asked him, which made the tall Slifer get surprised by the adult's comment. He calling him the 5th best student. The honor…
"Hum… I just wanted to… ask if mister Pegasus, I mean, you sir could get a chance to look at my picture.", Chumley asked him a little shy, but extending his notebook at the adult.
Once Pegasus took a look at the works done by the student, Chumley couldn't believe the man'a reaction: he was impressed, in other words, amazed by Chumleys work.
"Chumley-boy… where did you learn to draw like this? This is like art coming out from heavens to me!"
The Slifer nervously smiled at Pegasus. "I took some time to find time to motivate myself. Since I used to ask some help from Jaden and Syrus for dueling, I found it better for me starting drawing some monster cards that could maybe… give help to them. That's why I wanted to know from the Duel Monster's creator, if my work could help them as much they helped me."
'Such a great kid he is…', Pegasus thought with a smile. "Dear Chumley not only you can help them, but you can also help their friends and yourself with these works. It made me so happy to know there's a card designer heart in you, my boy. Tell me, how would you feel… to start working to me?"
The Slifer had his eyes wide open. That question was out of hand, he didn't know how to answer it, so Pegasus continued his explanation…
Ever since the duel between Jaden and Syrus for the representative spot, somewhere deep in my heart told me to create some new great cards to strengthen some duelist who might need them. This is why I've been doing my own creations so far, and I really needed your help, Chumley-boy. So, what do you say?"
"I… I say that I'm in, sir. I promise that my work will be useful for the future of dueling, mister Pegasus.", Chumley said with his closed fists.
"Thank you, my boy…", the adult told him, as the boat was about to reach its next destination: Domino City.
And that's all for a new chapter. Next up, time to get our GAME ON, with some sweet duels at KaibaCorp arena. Stay tuned… and see you all later. Bye Bye…
