Aurasoul: Hey everyone! Welcome to the second chapter of Yugioh Zexal
Darka: And Aurasoul is once again sorry for posting the story late.
Aurasoul sheepish: Yeah sorry.
Antares: Don't worry about it Aurasoul! Say can I do the disclaimer?
Aurasoul sighing: Sure why not.
Antares: Great! Aurasoul doesn't own Zexal only her OCs except me and Sirius our creator is Durbe the Barian while the two share Lyra-chan and Shane Kor owns Shane.
Aurasoul: Now then enjoy!
Chapter 2
They walked to a park as Sirius and Shane got set the others sitting to watch. "Duel disk set"! They yelled.
"D-Gazer set"! Sirius said putting on his D-Gazer.
A gold insignia shaped dueling tattoo appeared on Shane as his eye changed color similar to the tattoo surprising them.
"Lets duel"!
"I cant believe he has a dueling tattoo like Kaito", Darka said surprised.
"I'll go first draw"! Sirius said.
"I summon Sacred Wing - Unicorn in attack mode".
The unicorn appeared on the field with a neigh.
Sacred Wing - Unicorn
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1500
Def Points: 1200
"And if I have a Sacred Wing on the field I can special summon Sacred - Wing Giant Eagle in attack mode", Sirius said.
Appearing out from the dark purple portal was the eagle as it screeched and landed on Unicorn's back.
Sacred Wing - Giant Eagle
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1400
Def points: 1200
"Now he has two level 4 monsters", Darka said.
"Now I activate the spell Double Level"!
"Double Level"? Darka questioned.
"With this if I have two or more monsters with the same level on the field their levels are doubled so Giant Eagle and Unicorn's levels double to 8", Sirius explained.
Sacred Wing - Unicorn
Level: 4 - 8
Sacred Wing - Giant Eagle
Level: 4 - 8
"Now he has two level 8 monsters", Astrana said.
"Now I overlay my level 8 Giant Eagle with Unicorn to create the overlay network! O, Great Dewdrop shine! Become the ray of light that surpasses time, and become my vassal! The embodiment of water, the creature that flows with this magical land, defender of the knights, and ally to lightning! I Xyz summon Number 110: Glorious Serpent"!
Everyone gasped as the monster appeared on the field with a mighty cry swatting its tail for all to see as it spread it's glimmering blue wings as it screeched.
Number 110: Glorious Serpent
Rank: 8
Atk Points: 3000
Def Points: 1500
(A/N: I always got Sirius to summon Silent Honor Knight so I thought to let him summon Glorious Serpent)
"Holy name of Crimson Dragon its gorgeous"! Darka gaped then blushed in embarrassment then gasped.
"Hold on Number 110"?
"Right Sirius-san is the only one to have two over hundred number cards", Lyra said.
"Is that even allowed"? Darka gaped.
"Don't ask me", Lyra shrugged.
"Next I place a card facedown and end my turn, youre up", Sirius said to Shane.
Shane smirked and nodded. "Thanks my turn draw! First I summon Constellar Leonis in attack mode", he began.
Sirius and Lyra grew wide eyed as the monster appeared in a pale blue glow.
Constellar Leonis
Level: 3
Atk points: 1000
Def points: 1800
"Leonis"? Sirius questioned.
"Now that's just a bit mean", Lyra sweatdropped.
"What do you mean"? Astrana asked.
"Don't tell them Lyra"! Sirius yelled.
"Next I activate Leonis's ability during my main phase I can normal summon a Constellar monster in addition to my normal summon", Shane said.
"No way"! Darka gasped.
"So I summon Constellar Kaus in attack mode".
With a light blue glow the monster appeared on the field.
Constellar Kaus
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1800
Def Points: 700
"The Constellar's abilities are similar to the Shadow Heart's abilities", Astrana remarked.
"That's for sure", Darka said.
"Now Kaus's ability activates up to twice per turn Kaus can either increase or decrease a Constellar monster's level by one so I let him increase Leonis's level by one", Shane said.
Constellar Leonis
Level: 3 - 4
"Now he's got two level 4 monsters", Astrana said.
"Now I overlay my level 4 Leonis and Kaus to create the overlay network! Peacekeeper of the stars, give me your aid in my fight for justice! I Xyz summon Constellar Praesepe"!
Everyone gasped as the monster appeared on the field.
Constellar Praesepe
Rank: 4
Atk Points: 2400
Def Points: 800
"Now that is incredible", Astrana said.
"And I'm just getting started", Shane smirked.
"Huh"? They all said.
"Now I overlay my rank 4 Constellar Praesepe to rebuild the overlay network"! Shane yelled.
"No way"! Darka gasped.
Praesepe became a gold overlay unit going to the portal. "Oh Dragon of the star clusters, destroy all that obstruct your path to righteousness! I Xyz summon Constellar Ptolemy M7"!
Everyone gasped seeing the constellar dragon like monster appear on the field with a mighty screech 3 gold overlay units circling it.
Constellar Ptolemy M7
Rank: 6
Atk Points: 2700
Def Points: 2000
"Oh my god its amazing"! Darka squealed looking at the dragon like duel monster.
"Darka-chan this isn't the time to be impressed"! Lyra said.
"Whoops sorry", Darka said sheepishly.
"I don't see the point of summoning it Glorious Serpent has more atk points then Ptolemy", Sirius said.
Shane only smirked. "I activate Ptolemy's special ability! By using one overlay unit it can return one monster on your field back to your hand or in this case your extra deck", he said, as Ptolemy destroyed an overlay unit.
"What"?! Sirius gasped.
"Impressive maneuver for a fact", Astrana said.
"Astrana-chan not you too", Lyra groaned.
"Now remove that Serpent! Constellar Roar"!
Ptolemy let out a loud roar and Glorious Serpent glowed gold and then returned to Sirius's extra deck. "Your field is wide open now Ptolemy attack Sirius directly! Starlight Beam"!
Ptolemy roared as it then launched a black starry beam straight at Sirius. "I activate my trap Magic Cylinder! With this the attack is reversed to you"! Sirius yelled.
Then the attack is redirected hitting Shane. "Ugh"! Shane groaned.
Shane's LPs: 4000 - 1300
"Nice one", Darka grinned.
"Well thought out but if Sirius wants to beat Ptolemy he needs to summons a monster it would have to be enough to defeat Ptolemy so it wont activate it's ability and send the monster back in Sirius's hand", Astrana said.
"Honor Knight is out since he only has 2500 Atk Points so he can either have to Xyz Summon Glorious Serpent again or special summon Guardian Wolf", Darka said.
"Sirius-san", Lyra said worried.
"Not bad but next turn I'll get you", Shane smirked.
"We'll see cause I wont lose", Sirius said.
"Right I now end my turn", Shane finished.
"Then its my move draw"!
Sirius looked at his hand then grinned. "I activate the spell card Sword of Revealing Light"!
"What"?! Shane gasped.
The bright swords came down trapping Ptolemy and Shane. "Now with this you won't be able to attack for three turns", Sirius said.
"Nice save there now he has three turns to think on a plan", Darka said.
"Yes smart thinking", Astrana nodded.
"Heh ok you got me there", Shane said.
"I'll end my turn there", Sirius finished.
"Alright then its my turn draw"! Shane said.
"I just need to hold out until I have all the cards I need to end the duel", Sirius thought.
"I'll place a card facedown and I'll be ending my turn", Shane said.
"Shane can't do much with Swords Of Reveling Light on the field", Astrana said.
"Let's hope Sirius-san can win", Lyra said softly.
"Then its my turn draw"! Sirius said.
Then he looked at his hand and Darka was surprised to see two duel monster spirits by Sirius's side two little pups. "Almost just need one more card", he thought.
"I end my turn".
"Then I draw", Shane said, drawing his card and looking at his hand.
"Sirius must be forming a plan but so far I don't have anything to destroy Swords of Revealing Light I just have to hope he doesn't get any lucky draws".
Then Shane looked up. "I place another card facedown and end my turn".
"Then its my move draw"! Sirius said.
The 2nd turn", Astrana said.
"Does he have what he needs"? Darka questioned.
Sirius looked at his cards then smirked. "He does"! Lyra gasped.
"I activate the spell card Sacred Calling! With this I can summon two monsters of the same level on the field so I summon Crovus the Sacred Wing Pup and Regina the Sacred Wing Pup"!
And appearing on the field were the two pups Darka saw as they both barked excitedly.
Crovus the Sacred Wing Pup
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1300
Def Points: 1400
Regina the Sacred Wing Pup
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1300
Def Points: 1400
"Aw! They're so adorable"! Darka smiled.
"Cute but I don't see them standing a chance against my dragon", Shane said.
"I activate Crovus's ability! When I use him for Xyz summoning he counts as two overlay units", Sirius said.
"Which means"! Darka and Lyra gasped.
"I overlay my level 4 Crovus to create the overlay network to Xyz summon! O, Knight who wields the sword of justice carries the shield of honor, appear before us in this duel! I summon Number 112: Sacred Wing Honor Knight"!
And with the light of Xyz summoning Crovus disappearing to be replaced with his Over Hundred Number card as it stood on the field.
Number 112: Sacred Honor Knight
Rank: 4
Atk Points: 2500
Def Points: 2000
"Here's Honor Knight"! Darka gasped.
"He doesn't have enough attack points to beat my monster though", Shane said.
"Hmph maybe then Regina's ability activates when I tribute summon with her she counts as two tributes", Sirius said.
"Two tributes"! Lyra gasped.
"And we know who'll he'll summon", Astrana said.
"Now I sacrifice Regina"!
Regina became a bright light which then turned into a sword Sirius took the sword and held it above the ground. "Grand beast of the land of light, release yourself from your chains and become my servant"!
He then plunged the sword on the ground and turned it like a key. "Appear! Sacred Wing Guardian Wolf"!
And Guardian appeared jumping out and on the field as she let out a howl. "Yes! He summoned Guardian"! Darka grinned.
Sacred Wing Guardian Wolf
Level: 10
Atk Points: 2800
Def Points: 3000
"With 2800 Atk Points Guardian is strong enough to defeat Ptolemy", Astrana said.
"And with her effect all of Ptolemy's effects are negated when she attacks", Darka added.
"Go Guardian"! Lyra cheered.
"And that's not all I activate another spell card Sacred Draw! For every Sacred Wing monster on my field I get to draw a card I have two so I draw two cards", Sirius said drawing them.
"Now Guardian attack Ptolemy! Grand Wolf Pounce"!
Guardian growled then jumped pouncing on Ptolemy and destroying it.
Shane's LP's: 1300 - 1200
"Now Sacred Honor Knight attack Shane directly! Barian Honor Slash"! Sirius yelled.
"I activate my trap! Magic Cylinder! Familiar Sirius? With this the attack damage is redirected to you"! Shane smirked.
"Oh wow", Darka gasped.
Sirius gasped as the attack was then flung back to him. "AHH"! He cried out.
Sirius's LPs: 4000 - 1500
"Ugh I place a card facedown and end my turn", Sirius finished.
"Then my turn draw! Heh I activate the spell card Hammer Shot! With this the strongest monster is destroyed from the field so see ya Guardian Wolf", Shane smirked.
They gasped as a huge hammer appeared smashing Guardian flat destroying her. "Ouch"! Darka winced.
"Next I activate another spell card Xyz Revenge! With this I can special summon an Xyz monster from my graveyard so come back Ptolemy"! Shane said.
And the machine dragon roared appearing on the field.
Constellar Ptolemy M7
Rank: 6
Atk Points: 2700
Def Points: 2000
"And if my opponent's Xyz monster has any overlay unit I can take it and attach it to my Xyz monster", Shane said.
And one of Sacred Honor Knight's overlay unit flew to fly around Ptolemy. "And now I use that overlay unit to activate Ptolemy's ability and send your Knight to your deck again".
Ptolemy roared and Honor Knight glowed returning to Sirius's deck. "And with that I end my turn", Shane said.
"Then its my turn draw", Sirius said.
"Your third turn that means the Swords of Revealing Light is gone", Shane said.
The light swords then disappeared from Shane's side of the field. "If Sirius doesn't do something soon he will lose", Astrana said.
"You don't have to say it so bluntly Astrana-chan", Lyra frowned.
"I summon Sacred Wing - Healing in attack mode"!
And the Sacred Wing monster appeared on the field.
Sacred Wing - Healing
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1400
Def Points: 1600
"Next its ability activates when its been normal summoned I can special summon a monster from my graveyard so come back Sacred Wing - Unicorn"! Sirius said.
And the unicorn galloped out from the dark purple portal to Healing's side.
Sacred Wing - Unicorn
Level: 4
Atk Points: 1500
Def Points: 1200
"And now I overlay Healing and Unicorn to create the overlay network to Xyz summon! O, Knight who wields the sword of justice carries the shield of honor, appear before us in this duel! Appear again Number 112: Sacred Wing Honor Knight"!
And once again the number appeared on the field again.
Number 112: Sacred Honor Knight
Rank: 4
Atk Points: 2500
Def Points: 2000
"But Honor Knight doesn't have enough attack points to beat Ptolemy", Shane said.
"Then he wont have to. I activate Honor Knight's ability! By using one overlay unit he's allowed to attack you directly", Sirius smirked, as Honor Knight slashed the overlay unit.
"What"?! Shane gasped.
"That's the way"! Darka grinned.
"Now Honor Knight attack Shane and end the duel! Barian Honor Slash"! Sirius yelled.
Honor Knight raised his sword then slashed down at Shane. "AHH"! Shane yelled being fling back by the impact.
Shane's LPs: 1200 - 0
Winner: Sirius
"Sirius-san you did it"! Lyra cheered.
"Nice one Sirius", Darka grinned.
"An excellent duel", Astrana smiled.
"Thanks but Shane really was tough I was lucky enough to have won", Sirius said.
"I'll take that as a compliment and I'll admit you were good too Sirius I can see why the leader of the Barian Guardians chose you to protect Darka", Shane smiled, walking to them.
"You were also great Shane that was an awesome duel", Darka grinned.
"So does that mean you can trust me"? Shane asked.
"May I see your deck"? Darka asked.
Shane looked confused but nodded giving Darka his deck she gently took it and closed her eyes speaking with his monsters then smiled opening her eyes and giving back his deck. "Yeah I trust you welcome aboard Shane", she smiled.
"Great to be on board", he said.
*RING*RING*
Darka looked surprised getting out her D-Gazer pressing the button. "Hello"? She asked.
"Darka its me come back home with Lyra and Sirius now", Hotaru growled.
"Huh? Why"? Darka asked surprised.
"Just get over here", Hotaru sighed.
"Someone hel"-
Hotaru hanged up leaving them all confused. "Did you hear"? Darka asked.
"We did", Sirius nodded.
"We best hurry", Astrana said.
"Definitely", Lyra said.
"I'll come just in case", Shane said.
"Thanks", Darka said.
They all headed to the Shinori house opening the door to hear yelling. "I'm seriously telling the truth"!
"Oh shut your trap"!
"Sirius-san is that"? Lyra began.
"Don't tell me", Sirius groaned.
They all walked to the living room and gaped to see Hotaru sitting on the couch reading papers annoyed while sitting across from her on a chair was Antares tied up in red flame looking rings looking exasperated. "Antares-kun"! Lyra gasped.
"Lyra-chan! Sirius! Help me out here Firefly-chan won't believe anything I say"! Antares yelled.
"Stop calling me that"! Hotaru growled, then faced Sirius and Lyra.
"And you seriously know this guy"?
"Unfortunately yes", Sirius sighed.
"Unfortunately?! That's cold Sirius", Antatres frowned.
"His name is Antares Kreiger he's a Ranked Barian Guardian like Sirius-san", Lyra said sweatdropping.
"Seriously"?! Darka gaped.
"That's a surprise", Astrana said.
"See?! I told you I wasn't lying! So please let me go"! Antares said to Hotaru struggling on the binds.
Hotaru looked at Antares and scoffed snapping her fingers and the rings disappeared Antares sighed in relief standing up stretching then faced the Darka and Astrana. "Its great to meet you Darka-chan! Astrana-chan I'm Antares its nice to meet you", he grinned.
"Uh yeah some to you", Darka said surprised nodding.
"Same", Astrana said.
"Antares what are you doing here anyway"? Sirius asked.
"Aquarii-san sent me", Antares said.
"Aquarii-san"? Lyra said surprised.
"After Sirius sent the report about what happened at the tournament Aquarii-san sent me here to help you guys out so I'm Darka-chan's third guardian", Antares grinned.
"What"?! Darka shrieked.
"You got to be kidding me", Hotaru groaned.
"Make that fourth guardian", Shane said stepping up.
"What"? Hotaru hissed.
"Relax sis his name is Shane Kor he was sent here by the stars, long story, to protect me he's human but has great power too and an awesome duelist too", Darka said.
"I'm flattered", Shane smirked.
"Don't be a smart-ass", Hotaru sighed rubbing her neck.
"Please tell me he has a place to stay".
"Relax I actually got myself an apartment here so no worries", Shane assured.
"So all we need to worry about is him", Hotaru sighed, pointing at Antares.
"Hey", Antares frowned.
"He can stay with us Sirius and Lyra is too", Darka shrugged, but then groaned.
"Still now I got four people protecting me? This is too much".
"You play a key role Darka", Astrana said.
"So does Yuma! And Astral, Kaito, Shark, a lot of us are key roles", Darka said.
"Tough Darka you're stuck with us", Shane smirked.
"Oh very funny Shane", Darka said.
"Heh I like him already", Hotaru smirked.
"Sis"! Darka groaned.
"Well you guys must have stuff to talk how about we hold on to that tour tomorrow Darka", Shane suggested.
"Sure Shane and sorry about this", Darka said.
"No problem see ya", Shane assured patting her shoulder and left.
Darka sighed rubbing her temple then faced Antares. "So Antares-san", Darka began.
"Just Antares is fine Darka-chan... Uh its ok I call you that right"? Antares asked.
"Definitely prefer that then Darkalicia. So Aquarii-san sent you to be my guardian"? Darka asked.
"Yeah she's getting worried about the Emperors and with what happened at the tournament well lets just say she's being cautious about this", Antares said.
"I see. And he's good"? Darka asked Sirius and Lyra.
"Don't worry Antares can act a bit like Yuma but he's serious on his job", Sirius assured.
"Well then I guess I'll be fine then luckily we have another spare room its across from Hotaru's room", Darka smiled.
"Great so we have Sirius, Lyra, Shark, Rio, and now Antares mom is going to enjoy cooking dinner here now", Hotaru said, putting her papers in a folder and taking off her glasses.
"I'm going to take a nap, Antares come on I can show you your room".
"Thanks", Antares grinned.
"Antares", Sirius began.
"Oh relax Sirius I wont provoke her", Antares assured.
Antares followed Hotaru up the stairs going to the halls reaching a door. "Here's my room and across will be your room if you need anything just ask", Hotaru said.
"Thanks so no hard feelings"? He asked.
"Nah I overreacted anyway so its fine", she assured with a small smile.
"That's great so friends"? Antares asked putting out his hand.
Hotaru looked at him then gave a small chuckle shaking his hand. "Friends", she smiled.
"Well I'm going to take that nap you should check out your room and settle down".
"Oh wait Firefly-ch-! I mean Hotaru"-
"Call me that if you want I don't mind. What is it"? She asked.
"Oh uh well I have a question to ask", he said a bit nervous.
"Hm? What is it"? She asked.
Antares took a breath and spoke. "When a dog has mauled your friends... Who do you blame? The dog or its owner"? He asked.
Hotaru looked at him surprised but then she gasped seeing red flashes beginning to hyperventilate. "No, no", she whimpered.
"Firefly-chan? Whats wrong"? He asked worried.
Then she saw dead bodies and blood causing her to scream. "AHHHHH! NO! PLEASE NO"! She screamed.
Antares was shocked as Hotaru fell to her knees clutching her head as she hyperventilate clutching her chest her eyes frantic, frightened, and horrified Antares quickly got on his knees clutching her shoulders. "Firefly-chan its ok its ok", he said.
"No stop don't do it", she choked out.
"Whats going on"?!
They all ran up the stairs and gasped to see Hotaru and Antares. "Oh Crimson she's having a panic attack"! Darka gasped quickly running to her sister.
"Hotaru please calm down".
"No I'm so sorry! Please I'm sorry! I didn't meant to say that"! Hotaru shrieked digging her nails now on her arms.
Antares and Sirius paled hearing the apologies as Darka bit her lip. "Sorry sis", she said.
Then Darka hit Hotaru's pressure point on her neck causing Hotaru to gasp and pass out Darka catching her. "Antares what happened"?! Darka questioned.
"I-I don't know we were talking and suddenly she had that panic attack", Antares said shaken.
"I'm home"! Kasumi called.
"And we're back"! Manami and Rio called.
"Looks like some are home. Sirius, Antares mind taking Hotaru to her bed"? Darka asked.
"Of course", Sirius said.
"Yeah", Antares gulped with a nod.
They each slung Hotaru's arms over their shoulders as Darka opened the door. "Lyra-chan, Astrana come on", Darka said.
They nodded and walked off as the two walked in Hotaru's room it had a warm feeling to it her bed with crimson sheets, dressers and closets of wood mahogany, a work desk, and bookshelves with some books as they gently laid Hotaru on her bed Sirius tucking her in. "Antares what did you do"? Sirius hissed.
"I-I didn't know she would react like that I only asked her a questioned I asked her back then", Antares began.
"You shouldn't have done that remember what Aquarii said we shouldn't pushed them on remembering especially Hotaru", Sirius whispered.
"I know I'm sorry I didn't know this would happen", Antares frowned.
Then he looked down at the sleeping Hotaru and gave a small chuckle. "This sure brings back memories huh Sirius? You tucked her in back then too", he said.
Sirius grew wide-eyed then his eyes softened looking down at Hotaru. "Yeah I remember she has more bark and fight then back then probably because she doesn't have that much of a burden on her like always", he said softly.
"Yeah", Antares nodded.
They then left the room Sirius slowly closing the door. "Remember Antares we have to be careful next time", Sirius said.
"Right", Antares nodded.
"Now come on there's introductions needed downstairs", Sirius said, walking downstairs.
"I'm coming", Antares said, about to follow but looked at the door.
"Sorry... Fire-chan".
Aurasoul: There all done and I'm soooooo sorry for not updating I really am.
Darka: Yeah you should be next time the gang meet Shane and Antares and we also get to know more of the Shinori history.
Aurasoul: So until then.
Manami: Read and review.
