Heart and Soul
Chapter 6: Temporary Breakaway
The moon was bright that night. Bright enough to shine through the darkness of Beat's cell and onto his face, but not enough wake the GG leader from his strangely peaceful sleep. He still continued to dream, even during those cold hours.
~~~~~~
He could hear the crowd as they watched him duel, as they watched his Shadow Ghoul taking down every monster in his way, one by one after being brought to life by the portable holographic system, the Duel Disk, on his arm..
He could hear them cheering for him, a rudie, in the finals of the tournament.
But he couldn't see the face of his opponent.
His opponent wore a strange black forest cloak, which hid his face from view, but Beat knew his name.
Marik.
Marik Ishtar, that was it.
"Do you really think you are going to defeat the Ghouls, especially the leader?" The redhead just smirked at this comment as he drew his card to begin the turn.
"Hey, I know what it's like to be a leader. And I know how it will feel when you fall." Beat looked up to see a huge, two-headed yellow dragon that threaten to fill up the entire arena. The Winged Dragon of Ra, one of three god cards, THE most powerful cards in the game. He looked down at the card he had drawn. It was the one card he needed, depicted by a huge white lightning bolt coming from the clouds. Rageki. He played it. And the image that was shown on the card had been brought to life. He normally hated lightning, but this one time, Beat enjoyed watching the lightning bolt come down on his opponent's monster, destroying it outside of battle.
That moment was more beautiful than even any piece of graffiti he had ever seen or sprayed in his life, and he would gladly trade away his skills with the spraycan to see it replayed.
~~~~~~~
Beat woke up immediately after watching the Winged Dragon of Ra being destroyed, surprised at the thought that had slipped into his mind.
"Oh, my god. I've never thought THAT before!"
"Never thought what before?" Beat didn't even have to sit up from the mat to see who was speaking.
"Dr. Avalon? What are you doing here?" The lady doctor continued to look up toward the full moon with her indigo eyes, its light turning them into amythests of a rich color.
"Couldn't sleep. Plus that, you have the best view of the moon." He agreed whole-heartedly with the statement about the moon. WIth his goggles off, the moon had turned his own eyes into sapphires of the purest, dark-blue color.
"I guess I'm a little lucky for that." Dr. Avalon unlocked the gate to his cell and opened it wide enough for Beat to go through. "Let's go for a stroll, before Onishima wakes up. In our own ways, we both need it." Beat kicked the covers off of him and stood up.
"Is there anyway Onishima's going to find out about this?" Dr. Avalon shook her head at this.
"I don't think the captain would be willing to wake up at 1 AM. Now, come on. I know where your skates are. Consider this an oportunity to skate one more time before you have to follow those conditions at Battle City." Beat walked out of the cell and Dr. Avalon closed the metal gate quietly behind him. "Follow me." They had walked through at least 3 different hallways before finding a door with the words 'Confiscated Items' in black on it. "What colors are your skates? I'm going to get them for you."
"They're orange and yellow. Why do you ask?" Dr. Avalon smirked before she opened the door.
"I may not do any tagging, but you can say I'm a nighttime rudie."
There was silence between the two for a few moments before she entered the room.
Nighttime rudie? Working for Rokkaku?! It's not even possible..is it?
"Got them." She walked back out of the room with two sets of skates, one of them being his own. The other was pure white with black tiger-stripes. She handed Beat his pair and they quickly put them on.
"Shall we?" The lady doctor smirked before putting on a pair of wire-framed, gold-tinted shades.
"Yes." They both quietly skated out of the building and into the streets that made up Shibuya-cho, all the while being eavesdropped by someone nearby.
