Disclaimer: I own the plot and made up characters but not the show. I don't own some of the TCG real cards. I wish I did own the show, but I guess I can still dream.

A/N: As always, our heroes are on the quest to go look for Glaciatica. Will they reach it? Will Tasho join them in their journey? Lets find out.

Chapter 5: Glaciatica and Tasho's Past

Sakura: What's taking you so long?

Jean: You know. I can't run as fast as you!

Sakura: Well hurry up!

Jean: I wish she stopped bossing me around.

Sakura: What was that!

Jean: (chuckles) Oh, nothing. (Thinking) I better keep my thoughts to myself.

Sakura: So who did Phoenix tells us we should see?

Jean: I don't know I thought that you were going to remember!

Sakura: What!!! You are going to tell me that you would let a girl do the entire job.

Jean: Why not?

Sakura: Boys, why can't they be more like a girl's best friend?

Jean: You know we have feelings too!

Sakura: Yeah, but if only... (Interrupted by Jean)

Jean: Look, over there!

Sakura: The Vortex!

Jean: Does it lead to Glaciatica?

Sakura: I don't know?

Jean: I remember now! We have to look for Tasho!

Sakura: Great about time. You know if we were already there we would have been spending a lot of time looking for someone who we didn't know what name he had.

Jean: Bummer.

Sakura: Portal Disk!!!

Jean: What is that for?

Sakura: (mysteriously) You'll see...

Jean: ...?

Sakura: It copies the location of a vortex and lets us come back to that place faster.

Jean: Cool! Can I do it?

Sakura: No, It is only for girls.

Jean: Oh, come on. Don't tell me that you are still mad with me with what I said.

Sakura: Maybe, maybe not?

Jean: Never mind. (Gets frustrated)

Sakura: It is time. We have to hurry up and go to planet Glaciatica! We have to find whom Tasho is and why Phoenix told us we have to find him. I wonder...

Jean: You wonder if this is a trap set by Phoenix to kill us.

Sakura: Yes.

Jean: Don't worry I'll protect you.

Sakura: So you do care about me.

Jean:(flushing) Well...I guess...Oh come-on, everybody cares for each other.

Sakura: (to herself) Yeah, if you only knew.

Jean: What are you thinking about?

Sakura: Nothing.

Jean: Here hold my hand.

Sakura: Ok.

Jean: Wow!!!!!!!

Sakura: Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guliver: Welcome to Glaciatica home for the Ice and Ice Duels.

Jean: Cool!

Guliver: So, where are you two from?

Sakura: I am from Zitoket and this here is from the real world.

Guliver: Oh! The Chosen One! Forgive my manners Chosen One!

Jean: No please don't. You don't have to praise me.

Sakura: He lost his memories of the time of the War of Roses.

Guliver: Wow, and he still managed to come all this far.

Jean: We are here to look for Tasho.

Guliver: Tasho? Oh you mean Trot Asimone Saku Hiem Obes.

Jean: Wow that is a long name.

Guliver: Yes, but we called him Tasho. Short for his long name.

Sakura: So where can we find him?

Guliver: Well, he lives up in that ice cliff. He knows every hidden secret of Glaciatica. He is said to also know of what happened in the War of Roses and what caused it.

Sakura: Maybe Phoenix told us to come here in order for Jean to remember his past?

Jean: Maybe.

Guliver: I could take you to him if you want.

Jean: That would be great!

Sakura: Yes, thank you very much.

Guliver: It would be a pleasure.

Jean, Sakura, and Guliver walk all the way up the ice cliff to meet Tasho. They entered the flashy ice cave. There they found a young man, dressed with a blue robbed. Jean approached to ask, but before he said a word, Tasho spoke.

Tasho: So it has been done. The Chosen One came back. Is it possible that there could be new hopes?

Jean: What?

Tasho: You come here, up t me because you have been sent by Phoenix.

Sakura: Yes, we have.

Guliver: They were looking for you and I helped them get here. Is that ok?

Tasho: No worries. It was destined for him to come. But I am not the one you seek. You see I am not the helper type of person. If I leave from here Glaciatica can come to its end.

Jean: Why is that?

Tasho: No answer for your question. (Changes subject) You came seeking answers. I will tell you only what you need to know for now. I will not reveal your past in the War of Roses. I will tell you that I was once the guardian of the Crystal Essence. The War of Roses caused a great downfall to all of our worlds. But now that is over, and a new evil has risen. Phoenix was right to send you to me. For I am one of the Zyborgs.

Sakura: So it was a trap!

Jean: Why that cunning rat!

Tasho: Don't worry. I am not one of the six Zyborgs that are hunting all the worlds. There are many of us. Most of us are good. But six of our kind rebelled against our ways. So they decided to make their own Utopia by reuniting all twelve worlds.

Jean: So, is Phoenix good or bad?

Tasho: He is good.

Sakura: So why was he acting that way?

Tasho: He is that way (starts to laugh)

Jean: Funny.

Tasho: Well, I have said enough.

Sakura: But...

Tasho: You came here looking for a friend to help you on your journey.

Jean: Yes.

Tasho: You are looking at it.

Sakura: You?

Tasho: No, look closely.

Guliver: Me?

Tasho: Yes.

Guliver: But I don't duel.

Tasho: But you will now. Come hold my hand and let me transfer my dueling memories.

Guliver: Wow, I feel like I know everything.

Tasho: You will need a deck. Here have my Ice Crystal deck.

Guliver: Thanks.

Jean: Welcome aboard Guliver!

Sakura: I hope you have feelings.

Guliver: What is that suppose to mean?

Jean: Oh just nothing, girl talk.

TO BE CONTINUED... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cool turn out of events. Who would have thought that Guliver would be a partner? Now where will all three be heading next? And if Phoenix wasn't one of the evil Zyborgs, then who are they? We will have to wait next time. Here in Cyber Duels!

A/N: I might not be posting any more chapters until next week. I will be posting chapters 6,7,8, and 9 next week.
