Prophecy

"When legend becomes reality,
Three warriors of ancient monsters will rampage the earth,
Of light, dark, and element.
Look to the Heavens,
They will come from there…"
Chapter 5 - New Path
Erica sighed with relief as she sat down on the grass. "Thanks for rescuing me even if you did sit on me before."
Jackie and Jennie sat next to their friend and said together, "We're the three musketeers!"
Erica rolled her eyes, but smiled.
Then Jackie said with depression, "How did we get here and how do we get out?"
Jennie added, "And where did we get these ridiculous clothes?"
The trio looked at themselves and practically laughed. Jennie was wearing a red turtleneck shirt with big sleeves and white jeans, Jackie had black shorts, a green vest, and a sable T-shirt, and Erica had a blue coat, baggy pants, and a white shirt. All of them had a card holder that held no cards. They were clothes that only the anime world would wear.
"We're really not in Kansas anymore," Jennie commented. The other two agreed.
Then Erica asked, "So! How'd you guys get here? I got here by a portal set up by Seto Kaiba. Don't ask, long story."
Jackie and Jennie looked at each other. Then shrugged.
"Hole," the two responded.
"Tried to call you," Jennie said.
"Broke your cell," Jackie said carelessly after.
"You WHAT?" the girlsyelled, fingers ready to poke the boy to death.
Luckily, Jackie was saved when voices came near them. Erica dragged her friends behind a bench to watch the group go by. They all wore Domino High School uniforms and in the center of the group was no other than Yugi Moto.
"Should we…?" started Jennie, but Jackie shook his head.
Erica gave a puzzled look at Jackie, not comprehending in why he said no. So she stood up and walked out from behind the bench. Jackie tried to grab Erica back, but ended up falling over instead, tripping Jennie over to the other side. The group stopped talking and stared at the trio.
"Hi! I'm Eri-" Erica started, but Jennie clamped her mouth shut.
Jennie whispered to her, "They're going to ask questions in where we came from, so shut up!" Then she spoke to Yugi's gang, "She's nobody and you never saw us!"
Jackie stood up and pushed the two out of the area, but Joey (seeing Jennie; nudge, nudge, wink, wink) stopped them and said, "You're not from here, are ya?"
Jennie glared at Erica, giving her an it's-all-your-fault look, and Jackie sighed, answering, "No. We just transferred from America today."
Jennie and Erica looked at the male incredulously. He was lying in who they were again.
Jackie just shrugged at his friends and whispered, "Hey, it's the safest way I can answer!"
Yugi then stepped forward and greeted, "Nice to meet you! I'm Yugi Moto and these are my friends: Teá Gardner-"
The short-haired brunette girl waved.
"-Tristen Taylor-"
The spiky-hared dude said, "Yo."
"-And that's Joey Wheeler!"
The blond boy smiled brightly.
"Like we don't know them already," Jennie muttered under her breath. Erica snickered.
Jackie nodded at the four. Then Teá clapped her hands and said, "Hey, why won't we invite them to your grandpa's game shop?"
Yugi's face perked up and looked hopefully at the trio. Jennie, Jackie, and Erica looked at each other with uncertainty, but slowly they nodded.
Erica watched Tristen and Joey argue heatedly while Jackie and Jennie looked at Yugi's cards with awe and amazement.
"So you're saying that if you combine Dark Magician with Dark Ritual, then you get Magician of Black Chaos?" Jackie asked.
Yugi nodded bashfully as Jennie took the Dark Ritual card and started to run around with it, Jackie asking to get it back. Erica casually sipped her tea and watched every single person with close attention. Tired, Jackie plopped down next to Erica, making her spill her tea.
"RETARD! Look what you made me do!" she yelled, bashing the boy on the head.
Everyone watched with shock. Even Joey and Tristen stopped arguing.
Jennie shook her head and answered, "Erica kinda has a split personality. One time she's normal and calm, while the other is loud and violent. Most of the time she's loud and violent."
Jennie stopped for a few seconds as she watched Erica chase Jackie out the door with Yugi's grandfather's broom. Then she whispered, "Never, ever, give her chocolate."
Erica's voice yelled outside, "I HEARD THAT!"
"Now what?" Jackie asked as the three walked down the road, walking past a couple of shops.
Erica shrugged and Jennie sighed with hopelessness, "Find a place to stay."
"Yeah, but where?" Jackie inquired.
Jennie was now the one to shrug.
"I miss my parents," Erica said mournfully.
"Even if they are annoying," Jackie and Jennie chorused.
The trio leaned against the road's railing, waiting for something to happen. Suddenly a car stopped by them and a man around the forties yelled, his voice thick with worry, "Where were you three? I was looking all over for you!"
Jackie's eyes grew large as he said loudly, "Uncle Tien-Xiang!"
Jennie and Erica looked at each other then at Jackie.
"You know him?" Jennie asked.
Jackie nodded and whispered as the three got into the car, "He's my uncle. He disappeared years ago and was never found…until now."
Erica poked the driver who was supposedly Jackie's uncle and politely questioned, "Are you Mr. Tien-Xiang and how do you know about us?"
The uncle replied in a calm voice, "I'll explain everything at the mansion."
"A MANSION?" Jennie said shrilly.
Soon, the people reached a white manor that seemed some miles away from the city. The house was elegant, gardens in geometric patterns, and inside the house, the ceiling was so high, it was at least tall as a four story building. Everything was made out of marble and the chandeliers were made from crystals.
"I can get used to this!" Jennie said, obviously impressed.
After stopping into a room, the uncle silently asked for the three to sit down as he unlocked a mahogany cupboard, bringing a simple shoebox to the glass coffee table. Before he opened the box, though, Jackie's uncle made a speech to the sixteen year olds.
"I bet you're wondering how the hell you got here," the man started. (Erica: I like this guy! He curses- Jennie: Shut up.) "Well, to start with, I deliberately disappeared here since I was being hunted down for my dimension travel machine. You know of this, right, nephew?"
Jackie nodded gravely.
"So, I used my own dimension portal to get here, but there is trouble, though no one knows of it. Since the evil yamis of the Millennium items have frequently used the Shadow Relm for the Shadow Games, it allowed the Shadow Relm to leak through an invisible hole. Soon, even if the yamis altogether stop using the Shadow Games, the Shadow Relm will still threaten to engulf this world and yours. That is why I had coordinated my dimension portals to your exact places so you would end up here. Erica, you were transported by Kaiba so he basically did my work for me. Anyway, I would've fought the leak alone…if I was younger. Now, I can only help you by information and these cards."
At this, Tien-Xiang opened the shoe box and presented each with duel monsters cards. The difference from the ordinary ones was that each one had a gold backing with the word "Exodia" and Horus's eye on it. With startled gasps, the three had their own shocked comments.
"The Flower Mage!" Jennie whispered.
"The Elemental Dragon!" Erica yelled.
"The Black Wizard…How'd you do all this?" Jackie questioned, practically asking for all of them. These were the cards that they had made up years ago...
The man smiled at their shocked and demanding faces. "Did you seriously think I haven't watched over you three? I have seen you play with imaginary cards that you have made out of scratch and made believe that you were legendary duelists. That had given me an idea. You will be the ones to fight back the Shadow Relm. Now you really can be legendary duelists."
Almost immediately the teens started to object. Well, first they stared. Then they argued.
"WHAT?"
"That was seven years ago!"
"Fight the Shadow Relm? YOU'RE CRAZY!"
Uncle Tien-Xiang smiled and pat each and every one of them with reassurance. "You can do it. I know you can."
Then Erica said shyly, "Uh… I forgot how to duel."
Everyone, including Tien-Xiang, shouted, "WHAT?"
