Shadow and Divine fought several floors above where Akiza was confronted by Misty. Divine used his psychic powers to use Hinotama on Shadow. Shadow managed to dodge them. But then Divine used Psychic Sword and slashed Shadow across the chest but wasn't a fatal strike. Shadow fell to the ground, Divine went for another slash but Shadow blocked it with his Duel Disk and struggled.
Divine: This is the end for you!
Carly: Hello Divine.
Suddenly Divine looked up in horror and saw Carly was alive but was wearing black robes and her eyes were black with blue pupils. Divine backed away and Shadow stood up.
Shadow: Carly? I thought you were dead?
Carly: Well yes and no. But no need for you to worry about it. You should get going, Divine is mine.
She activated her Duel Disk. Shadow was worried for her. He knew she wasn't the same person as before but he ran off thinking about Akiza and the others.
Divine: Foolish girl. I guess dying once wasn't enough for you. Then allow me to grant you a second one.
Carly: I'm afraid you'll be the one dying.
Carly/Divine: Duel!
The building started shaking as an earthquake came out of nowhere. Shadow struggled to stay up and made his way downstairs. As the shakes started to calm Seria with Liquid and Okitawas making their way upstairs.
Seria: Shadow!
Okita: You're ok!
Liquid: You had us worry.
Shadow: What are you all doing?
Seria: We're done with Divine and the Arcadia Movement. I'm heading to the roof and taking a helicopter out of here.
Okita: You coming?
Shadow: Not until I find Akiza.
Suddenly another earthquake started. They all held on the railings.
Seria: Feels like the building is trying to come down.
Liquid: We gotta go now!
Shadow: Give me a few minutes I'll meet you up top.
Okita: You better show up man.
Shadow: I will.
Shadow took off downstairs, leaving them. He made it to the floor where Akiza was. He saw her dueling against a woman dressed like Carly was.
Misty: Now I sacrifice my two tokens to summon forth your destruction! Appear, Earthbound Immortal, Ccarayhua!
The building started more violent than before. Shadow stumbled towards the window and was shocked to see a giant black lizard outside.
Shadow: What the hell is that?!
Suddenly another giant creature appeared. This time it looked like a bird. It stuck the building and caused actual damage. Rumble started to fall and the building started to slowly collapse. Shadow looked up and saw Divine falling down to his supposed death.
Akiza: Divine No!
Misty: Looks like we'll have to continue this another time. Farewell Black Rose.
She vanished. Shadow then ran to Akiza.
Shadow: Akiza!
Akiza: Shadow!
Suddenly the floor beneath her started to collapse in and fell holding on to the ledge. Shadow slid and grabbed her hand.
Shadow: I got you!
Akiza: Shadow….
Shadow was losing grip on her, he tried to pull her up but she slipped out of his hold and fell.
Shadow: Akiza!
She screamed as she fell into darkness and faded away out of sight. Shadow had tears forming in his eyes.
Liquid: Shadow!
Liquid pulled up.
Liquid: We got to go now!
Shadow and Liquid took off heading to the roof. When they got to the top, Seria was in the pilot seat starting the copter up. Shadow and Liquid got in the copter.
Liquid: We're in!
Seria: Alright here we go!
Seria flew off as half the building fell. Shadow closed his eyes thinking the worst. On the ground were glyph of the creatures Shadow had seen.
Okita: That was close…
Seria: Shadow, you find Akiza?
Shadow remained silent.
Liquid: I'm sorry man. I knew you cared about her a lot.
Shadow: It's ok.
Seria: So where do we go now?
Shadow got up and sat in the copilot.
Shadow: Head to Satellite.
Liquid: Why Satellite?
Shadow: We'll be safe there.
Seria: Ok better hold on.
After a few hours later, they approached the Satellite. Shadow had told Seria about a house he used to stay at. As they arrived and started to descend, Shadow saw Yusei outside looking up at the copter. The copter landed and everyone got out. Shadow and Yusei walked up to each other.
Yusei: Do you remember me, Shadow?
Shadow looked at him,then gave him a brotherly hug.
Shadow: Of course I do.
Yusei smiled and hugged his friend back. Okita, Liquid, and Seria walked up to Yusei and greeted him.
Shadow: These are my friends. They helped me get out of the Arcadia Movement. The Arcadia building was destroyed by some weird monsters I've never seen before.
Yusei: I heard. They also found Akiza unconscious inside.
Shadow: She's ok?!
Yusei: Yes but she's in a coma.
Shadow: No….
Yusei: You said giant monsters destroyed the Arcadia HQ?
Shadow: Yes.
Yusei: Then I think we should talk.
They all headed inside house to discuss everything that has happened.
Not my best chapter but I hope you all enjoyed it! More to come soon!
