Spoilers: None what so ever.
Disclaimer: I no own. You no sue. If you do, I'll sic' Lucky on you!
Well, I've finally finished this chapter. Not quite exactly happy with the results...but also am at the same time. I started this durning my spare time in Web Design (which I had a lot of.) I have a graduation party tommorow. (And can't get on the net at all.) Please leave a good gradution present of reviewing, ne? (And please excuse all spelling mistakes. If I open OpenOffice, my laptop may crash. x.0;; )
Review replies at bottom. (And written before the chapter was even written...easier that way. +grins+ NOw I just have to submit it once i've written it.)
I hope no one minds that I'm not going to Anzu/Teá bash in this story...sorry. Not this time...though I can enjoy it as well.

'Jape' slid silently around his desinated streets, leather coated feet smoothing over the cobblestones of the alleys. Jou ducked into a shadowed alcove, smirking a bit when he recognizedthe group of three characters that were talking together and walking serenely down the darkened street.
He let a smile curve his lips as he dug into the database, just like Kaiba had taught him, and found out that none of them were bonded with a dragon.
He slunk into the shadows, following the group, lips still curved.
'Eliey' was a female character,one of the very few that actually was female in real life as well.A pair of blue rabbit's ears lay so that one went to either side of her head and nessled within her brown and slightly blue hair. Instead of the normal tail that a rabbit-class would typically have, her feet had been changed to look more like a kangaroos. Though she still walked upright, it made her far taller than those around her, and she could run best while hunched over slightly.
The other two characters that converesed with her looked mostly the same: Both were of cat-class, though one was a royal purple and the other was a dark crimson, complementing each other. He was surprised to find out that their names were not something predicatable such as 'Hikari' and 'Yami' but were instead 'Burne' and 'Mindley'.
He rolled his eyes. Adding an 'e' into a word did not make it very original.
His ears twitched as he heard the rush of air aproaching, the sound of leather-coated wings on the air. His left hand stayed to the coiled whip at his hip, the black braiding slick to his black fingerless mesh gloves. He clung to the shadows, dragging them out onto the street with him as he watched the sickly-thin green dragon slid through the air like an arrow.
The thing looked much like a european Wyvern, though much too thin. The mage astride its back wore the color of undersunned grass, and Jou's nose flared in anger at seeing the grass green embordery of moderatorform on the mage.
The dragon let out its battlecry just as Jou shed the shadows. He saw the surprise in the dragons eyes before it spread its wings and reared back, nearly upsetting its mage in the process. It dropped to the ground and drew its limbs in, though its wings were still raised. It looked at him with a pitiful look from its place on the cobblestones.
The mage on its back kicked and screamed for it to take flight again but it wouldn't. It quite calmly hit its mage on the head with its tail.
Jou watched all this with a fake calm on his face. He could hear the three characters that he had been shadowing before clamor for his attention. He reached his hand into his coat pocket and drew out an orb and then squeezed it to activate. He let it fly and it did, speeding directly into the moderator mage.
The mage let out a cry of denile as he disapeared.
Jou finnaly turned around to the three. Calmly, with his hands in his pockets, he said, "To attack unbound mages is a grave offence."
He pulled the shadows back to himself in order to seemingly disapear again.

Riot watched calmly atop a roof nearby as Jape dissapeared, leaving Mindley, Burne, Frenzy, and Eliey behind. He had to admit, the moderator had style. He himself was impressed at the was the modera--
His eyes snapped back to the street at seeing Mindley approach the still-crouching Frenzy. The dragon hissed at the mage, then reared and became invisible for the short trip to where Riot was.
Frenzy's human form was still a little stiff, and he rolled his arms, shoulders, neck, and back before he could bow to the Dragon of the Shadows that he stood before. His form was still thin, but not to the disgusting degree that it had been in his dragon form. His skin still carried a gren tinge, and his short-cropped hair was green, but his eyes were a calm blue.
"Lord, I--"
Riot rolled his eyes as he bopped Frenzy on the head.
This was going to be a long night.

Blitz let out a mournful sound, knowing that no one was there to hear his cry. His hindclaws were bound, as where his wings, both shackled firmly to the frozen ground. His foreclaws had been bound to his body in a most uncomfortable fashion, the nails of each digging into his soft underbelly with even the slightest move that he made. Wind and snow and sleet poured down on him from above. A circular hole had been cut into the side of the mountain, only about two meters wide in diameter.
A girl looked on with saddness at seeing him like that.
"You shall soon be free."
