Hundrends upon hundreds of Dartz's Dark Minions inhabited the beach above Neo Japan. The dawn light made the situation even worse, as it covered the demons in a blood-red blanket. But that was not what 14-year-old Jay Muto was thinking. She was crouching tiger-like on the cliff overlooking the beach. Kai Kaiba was looking over her shoulder. Jay looked at him and smiled.
"About time. I was thinking Dartz had given up trying to take over Neo Japan." Her male friend chuckled.
"I'm glad he didn't. Then it would be boring around here." Jay nodded her agreement and returned her attention back to the army. She chewed herlip thoughtfully.
"Go wake everyone up," she said in a serious tone. "It's playtime." Kai nodded and turned and walked away. Jay frowned. "Damn it. When will this war be over?" she muttered to herself.
A young blonde-haired man yawned as he walked into the forest. An owl hooted. Josh Wheeler grinned as he walked up next to a tree. "Hey, owl," he said. Kai dropped from his perch on the branch.
"That's 'Mr. Owl' to you, Wheeler," he joked. Josh chuckled. "Jay spotted an invasion."
"KP duty again?" Josh asked, smirking.
"As always," Kai replied.
"As always," a female voice behind him said. Kai turned and grinned.
"Reinee! Sisaly! Kari!" Sisaly grinned and flipped some of her hair behind her shoulder.
"Jay spotted something?" she asked. Kai nodded.
"An army of at least 300 strong," he repiled, suddenly serious. "They've landed on the beach. Jay is on the overlooking cliff. Come on." Kai turned and started to walk away. The rest followed him. A few moments later Jason Underwood jogged up and joined. Nobody asked what he had been doing. They all knew. Jason was covering their tracks so that Dartz or one of his lackys couldn't retrace the group's steps to Neo Japan. After Dartz had taken over America, so many years ago, the 7 Millinuim Item wielding kids helped the entire population of Japan build an empire underground. When Dartz had suddenly taken Asia, all of Japan's people and animals escaped into the underground city, dubed Neo Japan. Jay was the one who had conviced the Japanese Government to build the underground city, so Japan nomianted her ruler of Neo Japan. The Force 7; Jay, Kai, Jason, Reinee, Sisaly, Kari and Josh had been building Neo Japan when Seto Kaiba, Yami Yugi, Yami Bakura, Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor, Marik Ishtar and Joey Wheeler had confronted Dartz. Unfortanitly, the power-crazy Alantian had defeated them, trapping their souls in the Seal. That day Japan fled underground. Now the wives of the famous duelists; Courtney Phoenix, Kitty Kaiba, Serena Kinsale, Bytea Hara, Terra Spino, Cirrla Dragon and Mai Valintine had fled with thier children. The kids quickly proved to be the best Duelists in Neo Japan, and the world's only hope. That was why Shadi had come to the Force 7's home with all 7 Millenuim Items. He knew which child would wield which Item, and gave them the ones they were destend to hold. Because Dartz could not be defeated in this time, and because the children were the only ones capable of defeating him, the magic in the items had preserved them, stopping the growth prosess. While friends and loved ones grew old and passed away - including the Force 7's mothers - they never aged a day. All they looked forward to now was when Dartz would be defeated. Accoriding to Shadi's profacy, when Dartz was killed the 7 kids would be sent back in time for a childhood with thier parents. That, and the need to save all the people trapped in Neo Japan, was the only thing that kept the Force 7 going, kept them fighting. All 7 of the kids had long ago lost their innocence. Their eyes held pain, suffering, and the horrors of war. And other things. Things no man should ever even know about, much less so young children experence. People looked upon then with respect, yes, but also with fear. They were no longer children. They were things created by war. Only once returned to their proper time would they become children again. All of them had a mental status, had wisdom, because of their almost 400 year old life, yet their physical selves were only 14. Thus, their bodies and minds were in the best shape posible.
Jay is a natural leader, and the bravest of them. Kai is the most intellegant, and the best with tecnology. Kari is the the quickest of them. Sisaly has the best abilty to notice things wrong or out of line, thus she is the Scout. Jason has the best ability to 'read' people, to figure out their true intentions. With the Millemuim Eye, this ability has mulitplied. To keep him out of trouble, Jay taught everyone in the group how to sheild their mind from the Eye. Josh is the strongest of them all. And Rainee, dear sweet Rainee, was the medic of the team. With her knowlage of plants and herbs, no one could match her healing ablity. And they need all of their special talents to stay alive and keep Neo Japan safe.
As they arrived at the cliff, Jay stood up and looked at them. She wore a serious look. All of the others nodded. Failure, defeat, was not an option. They had to win, they always had to win, otherwise the world was doomed.
