"Now then I trust that answers your questions miss?" Sayer asked calmly.

"Carly Carmine, and almost I did have one other question that a friend of mine wanted me to ask you." Carly said. "Have you ever met someone named Toby Tredwell?"

"This interview is over." Sayer said quickly. "I trust you know where the exit is?"

"Hold on, what about my question?" Carly asked. "You've been willing to answer all of the other ones so far."

"Alright Carly, I'll make you a deal. Let's have a friendly duel, if you manage to beat me I'll…" Sayer said just as a shockwave shook the building. "What in the world's going on now?"

"Please help." Carly said while holding onto the window for dear life.

"You should have learned not to stick your nose in places it doesn't belong." Sayer said coldly. "I play Hinotama."

"Wait, stop." Carly said just as the fireball sent her flying out of the building. Why do these things always happen to me, she thought as a purple glow surrounded her and she landed on the ground in front of the Arcadia Movement.

"What's going on, my arm feels like it's on fire." Akiza said looking at the glowing claw mark on her arm.

"Yeah, my sign feels the same way." Yusei said. "Though my other arm is tingling."

Suddenly a second shockwave shook the building and Akiza lost her footing and fell off the roof of the Arcadia Movement. (1)

"Akiza!" Yusei yelled quickly before his purple mark began glowing. "Immortal Cosmic Dragon, save her."

The moment Yusei said that, the purple and crimson glow appeared around him as his strongest monster appeared above him and flew down to Akiza and caught her in its arms before flying her back up to Yusei.

"Yusei, thank you." Akiza said slowly getting to her feet. "Wait, I thought you couldn't control that power."

"I can't, but I knew I wasn't going to let you get hurt." Yusei said as his mark stopped glowing and the Immortal Cosmic Dragon vanished. "We need to make sure the others are alright though."

"You're right, let's go." Akiza said quickly.

"What's going on, who are you people?" Jack asked as his Mad Archfiend was destroyed.

"I would tell you but that won't make a difference once this battle is over." said a cloaked figure. "Now my second Ape Fighter will attack you…"

"Black Rose Dragon, attack." Akiza said suddenly while running in with Yusei.

"So the witch finally arrives, I'll take care of this myself." said a second cloaked figure before she held up a card.

Suddenly the four cloaked figures and Yusei grabbed their arms in pain.

"What's going on, who are you?" Yusei asked as the gem on his limiter began glowing.

"That mark, I was afraid of this." said a third cloaked figure. "Misty, we need to destroy this building as quickly as possible. If we don't there's a very good chance none of us will make it out of this alive."

"Right, consider yourselves lucky this time." Misty said coldly. "O God which resuscitated my life, now I offer you my soul. Break free from the spell held over you for so long! Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua."

Suddenly purple flames appeared as a green haired girl walked up to stand with the cloaked figures.

"Who in the world are you?" asked the first cloaked figure.

"So you have one of these marks too, I suppose it's only fair that I introduce you to my new friend." Carly said coldly before drawing a card from her deck. "Now transcending five thousand years time, the doors to the underworld will open once more. May our souls be the food of the new world! Advent, Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu!"

The moment Carly said that purple flames appeared around the Arcadia Movement.

"What's going on, where are these Earthbound Immortals you just summoned?" Jack asked.

"Just look behind you signer." Carly said coldly.

"Behind me, what are you talking about?" Jack asked.

"Whoa, what's that thing?" Leo asked fearfully as Sayer ran up next to the signers. "Some kind of giant eyeball?"

"Akiza, you and the other signers need to get to safety. It's too dangerous to stay here." Sayer said. "The others should have evacuated after the first earthquake, I'll hold them off for as long as I can."

"Oh, you'll hold us off?" asked the fourth cloaked figure. "Then you'll be the first one to be sent to the Netherworld."

"I'm not going to abandon you Sayer." Akiza said.

"Akiza, this isn't an option. The most important thing is the Movement, you need to make sure everyone in it is safe." Sayer said before revealing a card. "I play Emergency Teleport."

The moment Sayer said that, a flash of light enveloped the signers and they disappeared.

"So you're sacrificing yourself so that the signers can escape, that was a foolish decision." said the third cloaked figure.

"That voice, so this is what happened to you Roman." Sayer said activating his duel disc. "I'll have to take you out myself."

"No, if you want a duel then you'll duel me." Carly said. "Unless you're afraid of me Sayer."

"Fine, I'll defeat you and then take down Roman." Sayer said calmly.

"We'll see about that." Carly said activating her duel disc.

"Let's duel." Carly and Sayer said simultaneously.

"Director Goodwin, the Arcadia Movement was attacked. If the signers didn't make it out we're all doomed." Lazar said in a panic.

"I'm well aware of the situation, and I've taken measures to ensure it doesn't come to that." Goodwin said calmly. "He may attempt to discourage them but he won't put forth his full efforts to destroy the signers until the day of destiny is upon us."

"I hope you're right, but I can't help but feel that things are going to get much worse very soon." Lazar said nervously.

"I know, but all we can do is have faith that Sayer will be able to keep the signers together and that they can overcome the forces of darkness. I had hoped that they would be willing to trust me but it seems that isn't what fate had in store." Goodwin said thoughtfully.

(The forces of darkness have attacked the Arcadia Movement, but Sayer managed to get the signers to safety. Next chapter the signers will come up with a plan to counter the forces of darkness. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
