Chapter 2: On to Destiny
Driving away from the curb, Ronin had picked up Akina. They were going out now to find Reku. It wasn't like him to just up and disappear. They started to drive the route that they thought Reku might drive to get home. They were turning to get onto the bridge that Reku had drove over not to long before.
Blood Boiler fell to the floor without a soul. The shadow realm disappeared and Reku whipped sweat off his forehead. His duel disk shut down and closed up.
"Wow. So Chaos has made another move. All I know right now is that they have rare cards that aren't very fun to play against."
"Reku Yamashita, know your destiny. It calls you now." A sweet, female voice rang through Reku's head.
"Who are you?" Reku said placing his hand on his head and squeezing his fingers down.
"You will meet me soon. Until then wait here, other destined are on the way."
"Other destined? Do you mean, Ronin and Akina?"
"Yes, sit tight. Fate has guided them quickly to you."
Ronin rounded the corned to slam on his breaks. They looked down in the warehouse district, the ghost town one. The one that have be run down and abandoned for years. There on the curb, sat Reku's truck. The driver side door swung wide open. It was parked next to a warehouse that had the door also wide open.
Ronin stopped the car and Akina, who now wore a yellow shirt and a purple, dark blue, and black jacket, jumped out. She also wore blue jeans and her sandy blond hair was tied back in a ponytail. The two of them ran into the warehouse.
Leaning against the wall, Reku looked up at Ronin and Akina. Both of them stopped when they saw a robed man laying face down on the warehouse floor. By the fact that he and Reku had duel disks on Ronin made the conclusion.
"Chaos's little minion."
Nodding, Reku shot his eyes to the lifeless form. "Found him stealing peoples souls and had to stop him."
"Well yea." Akina said bluntly. "What was Chaos thinking starting to make his appearance known to us again?"
"He knows that none of you can beat him in his present state. You don't have the power oh chosen ones."
"Wait!" Ronin's eyes widened as he heard the voice that seemed to come out of thin air. "You are that voice that talked to me back in the lobby at the World Tournament."
"And the one who talked to me in my dream." Reku said
"Well, I've never talked to her." Akina said crossing her arms.
"Now is not the time. Chosen ones, please take my gift to you." In a flash of light, Reku, Ronin, and Akina were wearing brand knew duel disks. They were no longer Kiaba corp. official duel disks, though they looked almost the same. There were a few slight differences with the center panel and all three of them were emerald green.
"So, why give us duel disks?" Akina asked, starting at the ceiling like the voice was coming from somewhere up there.
"For your test." And with that the floor started to ripple. Like water after a stone is thrown in. Reku, Akina, and Ronin screamed out as they were sucked down a separate hole in the floor.
Out in the night, on top of the roof, stood the shadowy man that had watched Blood Boiler destroy weak duelists in that alley. Standing straight up he reveled nice, black dress cloths. The kind you would wear to a funeral. His long, stringy silver hair flowed in the breeze. His stone gray eyes reflected the street lights below. Gurabe Degujiu looked around. He had lost sight of the cloaked man and lost the feeling of the shadow realm nearby.
It was strange, he usually could pin point where shadow magic was coming from instantly. Tonight though, something else was pulling his concentration off. Another force was blinding his senses, not letting him find the shadow magic.
Whatever it was, it was a more powerful magic than shadow magic. He had never felt anything like it before.
Jumping from roof top to roof top, Gurabe continued his search for the robed man. Landing on a roof, a large cracking noise could be heard. The roof collapsed under Gurabe's feet and he fell two stories to the ground. Coffin out dust, Gurabe pulled himself up and brushed himself off.
"Damn faulty roofs, what do these humans do in there spare time? Read?" Looking at the hole in the ceiling he growled. "They could be fixing these things."
Gurabe stomped out the door and stated to scale the wall again, until another cracking sound and a chuck of the wall fell in. Gurabe, who was on that chunk of wall, repeated the same routine that he had just finished falling through the roof. Scowling, Gurabe walked outside again. He looked at the wall.
"I think it would be safer to take it on foot." Gurabe remarked looking at chunks of board fall off the wall. He turned, sticking his hands in his pockets, he walked off down the ally whistling.
Chaos sat on his throne looking at a medallion around his neck. The symbol engraved in it was glowing with a black aura. Chaos narrowed his his dark blue eyes. Pushing his hood back to reveal his short red hair he sighed to himself.
"Dammit." His low voice echoed through the chamber. "Order has called them. Even after deposing of her she still gets in my way." Standing up he pulled out his dueling deck. Pulling the top card off, he revealed a magic card with an identical symbol as the one engraved into his medallion. In the middle was a picture of a black crystal. The card itself had a black aura to it.
"Tal!" Chaos boomed out as he slid the card back into his deck and put his deck away. The robed man that assisted Yukio's travels to Chaos's lair walked in.
"Yes master." Tal bent down on one knee.
"Is Blood Boiler, Eagle, Puppetmaster, or Black Lizard back yet?"
"No sir. They are all out still stealing souls. The one that last reported in was Blood Boiler who found that Reku Yamashita kid." Looking up at his master. "He is probity dueling him right now."
"Or he has lost his soul to the shadow realm." Chaos said bluntly and walked back to his throne. He sat down on his throne and looked at Tal who was now standing up. "Go and inform me immediately if any of them return."
Coming around the corner to the abandoned warehouse, three robed men looked down at the ripples on the floor.
"What do you make of it, Eagle?" The one known as Puppetmaster asked another robed man.
"I guess that we should go down it." Eagle responded "What do you think Black Lizard?"
"Well, Chaos has instructed us to find them and take their souls. Let's go!" As the man known as Black Lizard walked forward and jumped down one of the holes. Puppet master mimicked the movement accept down a different hole. Eagle did the same to the last hole and all three of them were instantly gone.
Staring at the city through a window, Sachiko was looking at the peace of the city.
"Wow, so peaceful. After that World Tournament I figured that our lives would be filled with action." Sachiko sighed and flopped back on the bed. "Nothing happens to Team Zero now."
She looked over at a picture of the four of them. It was a picture that they had taken when they got back from the world tournament. The four of them were bunched up and all of them were holding out a card. Reku held out Jinzo, Ronin held his Deadalus, Akina held Fairy in the Crystal, and herself held her Key of Life. She sighed as she saw that Reku and Akina were holding hands.
"No! am I jealous of them?" She looked back at the photo.
