The autumn breeze flew around the Protectors while the mysterious Lukara watched them from the shadows. They were destroying a few corpses, many body parts scattered all over the ground. Joey deactivated his Duel Disk, as did Yugi, while the others lowered their weapons.

"Oh, man," Kairi panted, wiping the blood off her sword. "That was tiring, wasn't it?" The others nodded, and they walked off, Lukara following them in the shadows.

-After a few blocks-

"Guys, do you feel a strange presence around here?" Brian asked, stopping in his tracks which caused the others to crash into him. Kairi looked around her, gripping her sword's hilt, as did Yami.

"Might I be of assistance?" a voice whispered, a figure appearing from the shadows. It was a boy with brown hair, blue eyes, and wore silver armor all over his body. He appeared to be of around 13. He bowed before them in greeting while they stared him down.

"Who are you, and what is your business in Domino?" Brian demanded, pointing his shotgun at the stranger. The boy pulled out a sword with a golden hilt, the blade glowing with a white light.

"My name is Lukara," the boy replied, using the sword to push the shotgun to the ground. "My business here is to help the Protectors defeat a great evil that has awakened."

"You mean the zombies?" Joey asked, waving Lukara off. "No thanks. We can take care of them." Lukara shook his head, and continued.

"Someone is releasing the dead upon this city, transforming its citizens into the undead themselves. Already, almost half of the city has been transformed. Soon, they shall aim the transformations at you."

"Excuse me," Kairi whispered. "In case you didn't know, I can transform into a zombie, so that won't affect me." Joey and the others nodded in agreement. Lukara held his sword up to her throat.

"It won't be long until your zombie form falls victim of the evil plaguing this city," he hissed, canine fangs showing in the light of the moon. "As will the rest of your friends. Just look!" He waved his arm all around, and they noticed the zombie forms of their friends, Rebecca Hawkins, Duke Devlin, Tea Gardener, and Tristan Taylor. The group was flabbergasted.

"How did this happen?" Yugi stuttered, tears flowing down his face. Lukara then transformed into a wolf right before their eyes, his eyes glowing.

"I shall explain later," he barked. "Now, follow me!" He raced off towards the Kame Turtle Game Shop, the others in pursuit.

"Is it me, or is this Lukara guy a wolf demon?" Joey asked Brian, who shook his head in response.

Is Lukara a wolf demon? And will the Protectors become zombies themselves? Find out in chapter four!
