Here is chapter 3...the actual plot starts here.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Yugioh or the characters...and I doubt I ever will...
From Chapter 3:
"My name is Valon Razura." The brunet replied. The blond blinked. "Oh, right, you must be the new student in first hour," Kyris said. He laughed, "Sorry; neither of us pay much attention in the morning!" He explained. Raiyu sighed and dragged his cousins out of the room impatiently. "We can talk later, guys…The bell is about to ring!"
Children of the Orichalcos
Chapter 4: Midday Crisis
Raiyu groaned. "We're never going to make it!" he said dramatically. "We still have to go through the front doors, and across the road to the pre-fabs!" Kyris rolled his eyes. "Relax, we have Ms. Spunk next, we can just make up some stupid excuse…she'll buy it!" The blond assured him. Raiyu glared back at him. "If my parents get called one more time by a teacher this semester, dad says I'll be grounded for two months!" "I doubt he would actually ground you." Zane told his cousin skeptically. "He might!" Raiyu insisted fearfully. The four boys quickened their pace once they had excited the building. A red Ferrari screeched to a halt in front of them on the road. "Get in!" Said the Auburn haired woman at the wheel. Raiyu's eyes widened. "Mom? What's going on?" She smiled sadly, trying to look completely calm. "There was a report earlier of duel monsters attacking three major cities, someone tried to kill your father." Kyris looked skeptical. "Duel Monsters attacking cities? Are you sure you're okay?" Zane nodded. "That can't be possible!" he said agreeing with his brother. Serenity sighed. "Yes, impossible, but it is happening! Get in kids, we're going back to the mansion." She studied Valon for a minute before nodding to herself. "You should come too, Valon, I have a feeling this is about to get messy." The four boys stood in shock. Valon gaped at her. "How did you…" She opened the door for the teenagers to get in and smiled. "I'll explain on the way." She promised.
"You can't be serious, Mom…monsters aren't real!" The Auburn haired lady sighed. "I'm telling you what I heard and saw, guys! Seto, Mokuba, and Mai are all convinced. Your father has had to fight them before, and I was attacked by one on the way to the school!" Zane sighed. "They're probably just holograms. Nothing to worry about, right?" Valon, who was silent for most of the ride, spoke up. "I wouldn't be so sure. After all, they did exist in Atlantis and Ancient Egypt." He replied. Serenity nodded. "Yeah, Yugi told me about that." Valon gave her a questioning look. "Where is Yugi, anyways? Shouldn't he be helping fight these things?" The brunet asked. She sighed. "He died about three years ago. Right after that Dartz guy was defeated, all the strong Duelists started to disappear. Seto and Mai are the only strong duelists left, and someone tried to kill Seto again this morning." Valon sighed. "As strong as they are, I don't think they can take on an army of monsters alone." Serenity nodded. "I agree." She said, then paused for a minute. "Joey told me he called Mai shortly after you left, the day after I think, and she found your Motorcycle all torn up. The next week Pegasus died of a stroke. Then Alister Died in a plane crash, Raphael in an earthquake, all within a year. And Joey has been in a coma for almost 16 years. Marik, Ishizu and Odeon are all gone. Yugi died three years ago, like I said before, and so the Pharaoh isn't here either. All of Yugi's other friends are also dead or missing, and someone keeps trying to kill Seto, Mokuba and Mai." She explained. Valon sighed sadly. "Sounds like someone did a clean sweep. Probably wanted to get rid of all possible opposition before trying to take over the world." She blinked. "Oh, yeah…I forgot that we never formally met. My name is Serenity." She told him.
Kyris sighed. "Even if these Monsters did exist, what are we supposed to do about it?" Serenity smiled weakly. "I don't know honey. All we can do right now is hope for the best." The car bounced a bit as the ground shook. Zane looked around to try and determine what had caused the tremor. "What was that all about?" Raiyu asked. The shape of a large bird-like monster appeared in the sky, shooting lightning bolts at the vehicle. The electricity missed and lit a nearby tree on fire. "Is it real enough yet? I told you they were real!" Serenity yelled. Valon wished desperately that he still had his duel monsters deck with him. Serenity, wasting no time, pulled a well-worn card from her coat pocket and summoned a monster. Valon recognized it immediately as Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon. The dragon spit a ball of fire at the bird and obliterated it. Serenity carefully put the card away and smiled at the passengers. "It was Joey's favorite card so I've always kept it with me for luck." Valon breathed a sigh of relief. "That's a good thing too, otherwise we'd probably be crispy right now." Raiyu shivered. "That was way too close for comfort! I can't wait to get home where it's safe." Serenity nodded. "I can get us there faster, hold on!" She warned them as she floored it. Approaching a sharp turn, she swerved and skidded around a 90 degree corner. "Aiyaahhaa!" Valon screamed. "Who taught you to drive?" he asked. She smiled. "Mai taught me!" she chirped happily, taking another dangerous corner. Valon gripped his seat in fear. "That's what I was afraid of!" He screamed. Serenity laughed. "At this rate, we'll be there in no time!"
Serenity laughed at the hyperventilating Brunet. "Are you okay? From what Mai told me, I would have expected you to like excessive speeding." He panted. "Speed I like, but skidding around corners at over ninety miles an hour…that scares me!" Raiyu smirked. "I'm used to it by now." "We're here!" Serenity announced. Valon gaped at the sheer size of the mansion before them. Serenity giggled. "Wait 'till you see the inside."
The large, modern style doors opened and Seto and Mokuba Kaiba came to greet them, followed by Mai Valentine. The three people stopped to stare when they saw Valon. He shifted his weight nervously. Seto Kaiba glared at him and Mokuba had a look of fear, while Mai just seemed shocked. Valon had a feeling that they knew something he didn't, and it was eating away at him. He sighed. "What's going on? I know you people are hiding something!" He shouted.
JouVal-Yaoi-Fanatik: Yup...poor Valon, riding with someone who learned to drive from Mai would scar me too!
As always, reviews are welcomed!
