"Yuya wake up! Please awaken! Hurry before they come back!"
The voice who screamed with urgency and cries for help was the only thing reaching yuyas mind.
Who was this voice? Why did he feel nostalgic? He wanted to hear more of the person who the voice belonged to, but he was crippled by the sadness that was reflected in the words of the beholder.
Who made them upset? Why were they crying? Why did he feel like the words pierced every inch of his being? Would he be able to make this person happy? Would that make Him feel better?
No...even more than that, yuya had an overwhelming desire to make this person happy, not to help them but because this person seemed important and familiar to him.
"Yuya... Don't fade on me Damnit"
Fade? Was the reason The person was upset because of him? Was he in a bad situation himself? It was no use, yuya couldn't remember.
For hours all he could feel and see was nothingness, drifting between consciousness and sleep, but the more the voice cried pleas for help, and the more he was dragged out of his state of mind, drifting closer to the light of the real world, the more he became aware of how terrible he really felt, realizing his body ached in pain, and how much sweat was being produced, it wasn't long before his eyes opened as if his overwhelming desire to save the voice allowed him to track the beholder of the voice, floating above him with tears flowing from the boy who hardly cries, the one who always seemed so tough, the one who smiled in relief as yuyas eyes opened was yuto. only then did yuya realize, that the one who was in trouble wasn't Yuto, the one most important to him, at least not yet anyways, But yuya himself, finding himself trapped inside a machine, powered by yuzu and her counterparts, and the people who were carded.
The man behind the operation was Leo himself.
"Wh-What's going on?" Yuya cried in panic as he had forgotten for a few moments the events before his arrival.
"You don't remember?" Yuto looked concerned
Yuya hung his head down feeling a slight headache, but it wasn't anything in comparison to how the rest of his body felt.
"Not right this moment, my mind feels empty. But I'm sure it will come back to me"
Bokura entered the room, laughing at yuyas embarrassing position snickering.
It soon became apparent that yuya was half naked, only wearing the top half of his clothes, such as his shirt, goggles, and jacket, but his pants and underwear were absent, causing him to turn a deep shade of red, As he noticed yuzu and her counterparts turning away, despite being in a bad situation themselves, and yet there wasn't any time for them to feel as embarrassed as they did, everyone was in danger.
yuyas tail waved back and forth in panic, as it was the only thing unrestrained, as even his wings were held down,
Tears flowed from yuyas eyes, unable to hide his embarrassment and panic,
"What's going on?" He cried,
Yuto held on to him tightly, embarrassed himself,
"they want us to give birth now."
"Bu-But it's a supernatural pregnancy why am I naked?"
"Because apparently, they want you and me to have sex again, and it's somehow related to how they are powering the machine," Yuto replied feeling embarrassed and full of humiliation and fear that they were forced to have sex in front of a large audience.
Yuyas eyes widened, he didn't mind having sex with yuto again, but not in this situation, where their lives seemed to be in danger and they were in a public area.
"Don't do it! You have free will don't you?!" Yuya cried out.
"I'm afraid not..." Yuto said with regret
"Once they power the machine, they plan to inject you with a drug making you want nothing but sex, and I'm synced with your soul so I will also be injected, so unless we can control ourselves after being injected were gonna probably not be able to control it." yuto began with a sad look
"The worst part is, the machine is designed for forcefully un-fuse us, and it needed several power sources, including the astral and Barian worlds energy source and or this purpose they fused the worlds into one to emulate such a power. This machine is apparently that powerful."
Yuya's eyes widened, the information was once again becoming too much to handle
"Who told you all this Yuto?" Yuya spoke weakly.
"That would be me, I'm afraid that's only the half of it." Leo stood up pointing a finger at the boys
Yuya quivered in fear.
"Once a demon always a demon. I thought my daughter destroyed you for good last time, after sacrificing herself for you. But it turns out you came back."
Yuya's confusion and horror were overclouding his mind.
"I-I don't know what you are talking about..."
"Of course you don't remember about your past life as Zarc. It doesn't change a thing."
Yuto flinched in fear at the mention of Zarc. And admittedly the name seemed familiar enough to bother yuya as well.
Where did they hear that name? Yuya pondered about it before remembering Ruri's words
"You will give birth to your past self the child is your reincarnation, Zarc and the human equivalent of the four dragons"
Yuyas tail frayed at the end once again. swaying in his panic. the tail was clearly visible to all in the room( amongst other things hanging on full display.) He felt not only humiliated but filled with confusion.
what on earth was everyone going on about? Who is Zarc? What connection was there?
He wanted to escape, but there was no possible way.
the way the machine was set up,In the center of the heavy equipment, was a large automatic sealed hatch door.
Whatever it seemed relatively concerning whatever was supposed to come out of it.
Lined up against the wall was a series of glass tubes, containing the four girls, yuzu, Serena, Rin and Ruri, who previously knocked the couple out before yuya awoken, although whatever face Ruri had previously given them prior to arrival was replaced with the look of fear and embarrassment.
Aside from Yuya's awkward and humiliating position, did something change within the past 5 minutes? The fact that upon looking at Ruri's face and remembering what happened to mean that Yuya was starting to at least remember it, but because he remembered it, the look on her face was much different now.
But then there was also Serena, the same girl he and Yuto ran into after yuya mistook her for yuzu, regarding her personality sure she was probably frightened, and perhaps embarrassed, but her attention seemed to be focused on something else entirely, there was two empty machines on the back wall, each with series of tubes and wires, with needles at the end of it, it seemed important to the project, but if that is so, then why was it empty? It wasn't the friendliest looking machine. But then again neither was the machine yuya himself was attached to.
Yuya's hands were raised over his head cuffed to the machine with two giant metal objects that acted as not only restraints, but also were embedded with needle-like objects that were pierced into his skin making any movement physically painful, as well as a collar embedded with the same needles along with a long wire connected to the machine, his legs were just chained with metal links that were held by two weights on the ground, and there seemed to be a machine on the other side of yuyas that was also empty,
There was no way of escape, at this point there was no choice but to listen to the story,
"Who is Zarc? What does he have to do with me? What does he have to do with you? Why do we need to give birth right now? And...can I at least get some clothes?" Yuya whimpered weakly feeling exposed.
Yuto looked around the room sadly, but also full of bitter anger.
There wasn't much he could do to protect anyone, not ruri, not yuya, not the other girls, his friends, shun, and even himself.
Even if the children are born now, and even if they were the only ones who got to survive, there were rumors that they were some demon spawn who would destroy everything, and without proper guidance, without yuya, to teach them what he knew, how to smile, as his dad taught him in the past, they would grow up to be evil, with no parental guidance,
no even more than that, with no context on what it means that the children were as ruri called them "Zarc" and what their connection to them now was, How was yuto supposed to feel sure that these children didn't have any knowledge already of that connection, and if they did, then was the connection one that needed to be trained for good, or was it on the path of evil already?
There were no questions about it, they needed to survive, because if they died here, no one could teach them they couldn't afford to have regrets like that. they wanted to raise the children, who were said to be demons, to be raised to be good. there was no need for violence in this world as some would say in the past "spare the rod and spoil the child" as a fancy way to say that 'punishing a child would allow them to grow up to be good.' But in reality, violence has been in this world for far too long.
yuya taught yuto about smiles and hope and he wasn't about to let things go to waste.
"as much as it pains me to put a 14-year-old in a position where he's completely exposed to an entire room, I regret to inform you, I have no intention to give you your clothes back at this point and time, endure it, it has a purpose I assure you. But I'm afraid I can't sympathize for a demon, 14-year-old or not."
Yuzu and Rin did their best not to look , but Ruri's face was frozen in fear and regret for being the one to hand over yuto to this man, even knowing full well that her mind was being controlled by a parasitic creature, didn't change her mind of how guilty she felt, and how worried she was about yuto and yuya.
Yutos face filled with sadness seeing the look of regret on Ruri's face, leaving him feeling empty and confused.
Yuya's body trembled uncomfortably, wanting to cover himself with his hands, but unable to as his hands were restrained, the only thing left was his tail, perhaps if he could get himself to calm down enough he could control his tail that was waving in panic, to cover himself, sweat ran down his face, as he fixated his thoughts on trying to relax,
Yuto noticed yuyas efforts trying to analyze what he was doing, before noticing his tail's bizarre actions, quickly deducing yuyas intentions. Yuto was no wheres near calm himself, but yuyas desperation for his mind to clear enough to process information that would be given to him in regards to zarc, would not be realized until he could at least feel less exposed, even if he wasn't saved from danger, at least there would be one issue that was solved slightly,
Yuto weakly smiled at yuya slowly embracing him causing yuya to lose his train of thought,
"Yu..Yuto?"
"Shh..calm down, we will get through this somehow, relax your mind, you can do it."
Yuyas mind began to clear, spacing out, trying to find comfort in yutos embrace, all yuya wished for was yutos physical touch, he wished his hands didn't go right through him, although it was enough for yuya to relax enough his tail wrapped around his body, covering his area where the tip of his tail that ended with a triangular shaped tip was just enough to cover the parts that yuya wanted to be censored.
Yuya's mind eased slightly, but he wasn't calm nor out of danger yet. Matter of fact this seemed to be only the beginning.
"Oh? What's the matter demon, are you embarrassed?" Bokura laughed at yuyas attempts to cover himself.
Yuya provided no answers he was still quivering in fear.
"Well, Your attempts are nothing short of laughable, pretty soon, you two lovebirds will be having sex in front of everyone while you all meet your demise, and believe me, the other demon inside of you will be visible for this," Bokura said stroking yuyas tail as yuya flinched and Yuto began to get angry at Bokura for touching yuya.
Yuzu screamed.
"please stop!"
Bokura shrugged,
"oh please I have no interest in that demon, nor his boyfriend,"
Leo raised an eyebrow,
"I still haven't figured out why you decided to join me, after all, I see no benefit for you to join my cause" Leo questioned the white haired villain.
Bokura just smirked,
"I don't know about that."
Leo sighed.
Yuya whimpered.
"please tell us why you are doing all this? Why are you carding people, why did you decide to fuse all the dimensions including the astral and Barian world? Why are you trying to force us into giving birth...why are you hurting people, who should be filled with smiles..." Yuya cried out
"My actions are bad, but my reasons behind the actions aren't for something stupid as taking over the world, I have reasons."
"Oh? And what might that be, father?" Asked a familiar voice.
Leo's eyes widened slightly coming face to face with Reiji.
"Oh if it isn't my misunderstanding son?"
Yuya's shame grew worse, as the silver-haired boy entered the room, he hoped Reiji would make no comment to yuyas appearance.
"How did you get here?" Leo asked.
"You should know, Your pathetic army of soldiers forced us here"
"Wrong" Leo stated flatly.
"Then who did?" Reiji questioned.
"I ordered them to capture Yuri and yugo, it seems you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but no matter, since you are here, you may as well listen to the story as well, as it involves your sister."
The captive audience to the conversation was having a hard time swallowing so much information at once
~~X~~
Meanwhile, Yoko's and Yuu Shou's reunion was met with the need for questions and the need for action to escape.
Sawatari's eyes widened,
"I know you! You are the one who made action duels the big thing! Although.I perfected it." Sawatari added boastfully.
Yushou smiled,
"then keep perfecting it."
Odd eyes and dark rebellion looked at each other, no one in the room was able to hear them but they wanted to know how yushou was here. From what they heard yushou was supposed to have been the one who disappeared as a result of him splitting the dimensions, at least that's what they were told.
"W-What we were told?" Dark rebellion's eyes widened,
"Since when?" Odd eyes questioned.
Come to think of it, how did they know this information? The information was in their minds, but what exactly were they doing at the time? There was a mention of an imaginary friend, and the worlds splitting, but how could they have possibly known that? Where were they?
As the truth inched closer the more fearful the dragons became,
The real answer would become apparent in the story told between Leo and Reiji
