Chapter 15
Darka and Yuma stood in front of Durbe with Astral and Astrana. "Durbe let me ask you think do we really need to fight each other"? Darka questioned.
"Why say that now"? Durbe questioned.
"You saved us before right? If you hadn't been with us back in those ruins then there's no telling what would've happened to us", Yuma said.
"You made assumptions on your own in the end its our fate to fight one another", Durbe said.
"Does it really have to be? The Barian Guardians don't think so. Why else would they go so far as to assign three guardians to me? They do not see this war necessary for Barian World they do not see Astral World as enemies Durbe there is no need to fight we can form peace just as she intended", Darka said.
"Darka", Astrana said.
"She? Who do you mean"? Durbe questioned.
"An ancient being who disappeared 22 years ago yet wished for the peace of Barian World and Astral World more than anyone alive", Darka frowned, clutching her key tightly.
"C'mon Durbe the legends of the ruins are about you guys aren't they"?! Yuma said.
Durbe grew wide eyed as the two went on. "Im not sure what happened but you guys were once humans like us! So why do you have to fight against Astral"?! Yuma questioned.
"Durbe even you cannot deny those memories", Darka said.
"Stop joking"! Durbe yelled.
"We were once human you say? I will not believe such a story! The Barian World and the Astral World are worlds opposing of one another and we are destined to fight against one another"!
"It doesn't have to come to that Astral World and Barian World can coexist side by side same with Astral beings and Barians me and my sisters are proof of that"! Darka insisted.
"You guys and Astral and Astrana don't even know why you're fighting each other in the first place"! Yuma yelled.
"Its utter foolishness"! Darka added.
"You shouldn't fight for such a stupid reason"! They both yelled.
"Yuma", Astral thought.
"Darka", Astrana thought.
Durbe's eyes glowed before going back to normal. "No matter what you two say we have no reason to live together", he said.
"Isnt that right Astral, Astrana"?
They looked at one another and nodded before facing Durbe. "It is true that our mission is in fact to destroy Barian World", Astral said.
"What"?! Yuma and Darka gasped.
"But that will no longer be the case", Astrana said.
The three gasped in surprised as the two went on. "Over time we learned of the heritage of the Shinori's most of their family members being Barian yet are actually wonderful people", Astrana said.
"And upon meeting the Barian Guardians we see that we cannot feel hate or animosity toward them", Astral said.
"Whoever had given us our mission was wrong and as such we shall find another way to end this way that shall be our new mission", Astrana said.
"As such for the successor to our creator", Astral said.
"Your creator"? Durbe questioned shocked.
Manami stood with a wince clutching her shoulder. "Manami are you ok"? Shark questioned.
"I'll live don't worry", she assured.
Then Rio's eyes glowed blue again making the two gasped as they were once again in the throne room both sitting Rio standing close to them and three soldiers kneeling in front of them. "This place is", Shark began.
"This vision again", Manami frowned.
"Your majesties, I come bearing a report", one of the soldiers said.
"Our army is at a severe disadvantage out there Vector's army is using the Gorgons to break through our defenses one by one its just a matter of time before the invade our country and occupy the castle! If this keeps up he'll not only massacre our country, but all our neighboring lands"!
"Tch so what the hell do you want me", Shark began angrily.
"Nii-sama, Manami-neesan! Everyone is awaiting your orders", Rio said.
"From us"? Shark questioned, looking at Manami who was also frowning.
"That is right you two must give orders as this country's king and queen and their leaders", Rio said.
"Screw this! Leaders"?! Shark said, standing.
"Shark", Manami frowned, also standing.
"Don't push your lives on us", Shark frowned.
"M-my king"! The soldier gasped.
"Wait a moment Shark", Manami frowned, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Whats wrong with you Nii-sama"?! Rio said shocked.
"Are you and Manami not the leaders of this land who joined together the Allied Nations of Poseidon? You two have always protected the peace of this land"!
"Us? We actually did that"? Shark questioned shock.
"Overcome it"!
Shark turned and gasped to see Abyss talking to him in his reflection his eyes glowing. "Overcome this ordeal! Fighting in this world is no different than winning a duel"! Abyss said.
"If you do you will"…
"Be quiet"! Shark yelled, punching the mirror causing it to crack.
"My ordeal".
"Shark".
Shark turned to face Manami who had a serious face which made him realize she saw Abyss. "I have an idea we shall go take the fight to them the Gorgons are being summoned and controlled by Fire in other words if we take her out then the Gorgons will be gone", she said.
"I should be the one to do so".
Everyone gasped at this. "Manami-neesan you cannot"! Rio gasped.
"Manami what are you thinking"? Shark hissed.
"Listen to me Fire is really Hotaru so I might be able to get through to her", Manami whispered to him, taking his hand from the cracked mirror.
"Please trust me and lead these people".
Shark looked at her with a soft look. "Your majesties"? The soldier spoke.
"Nii-sama"? Rio said.
Shark frowned. "God? Im no leader but when it comes to both the world and dueling losing would really piss me off"! He said.
"That's our king", Manami said smiling playfully.
"Send new soldiers to aid the army"! He yelled.
Suddenly Shark and Manami saw themselves back in the duel both blinking in surprise. "Did that guy show us that vision just now"? Shark thought.
"Just what is this vision"?
"I will now end my turn", Abyss said.
"This is bad if this keeps up", Antares thought frowning, as he watching Shark and Manami.
"But that was useful just now", Shark thought.
"The Gorgons destroy themselves with their own power in that case Ive got a card that can help us out of this situation"!
"Looks like Shark's got a plan", Manami thought with a smile.
"The card you gave me in order to test me", Shark thought, his hand on his deck.
"My turn draw"!
He looked at his card. "I activate the Quick play magic, Absolute Zero, from my hand"! He yelled.
"This card makes the Atk power of an Xyz monster with no Overlay units 0"!
A blizzard shot out from the card blowing around the field. "Useless thanks to my monster's equip magic, Xyz Unit when an effect that detaches Overlay units is activated I can detach this card instead", Abyss said.
"Unfortunately for you even if you use its effect that card isn't an Overlay unit", Shark smirked.
"Thus because of the effect of Absolute Zero, Gorgonic Guardian's Atk points become 0"!
Gorgonic Guardian then became frozen by the blizzard of the spell card as its Atk points were lowered.
Gorgonic Guardian
Atk Points: 2200 – 0
"And at this moment Gorgonic Guardian's effect activates! All monsters on the field with 0 Atk points will be destroyed"! Shark yelled.
"Be destroyed by your own power"!
Gorgonic Guardian's red eye glowed launching the attack yet the blizzard blew it around for it to attack and destroy itself as Shark and Manami then saw them sailing with their soldiers Manami wielding a bow with her spear strapped on her back Manami had began battling Hotaru who wielded her scythe the two clashed as Antares went to them Manami stance yet smiled hearing Shark. "Now! Bring out your Mirror Shields"! He yelled.
Their soldiers raised their shields bouncing the blue beams of the Gorgonic Guardians back to them turning them into stone destroying them both in the vision and in the duel Hotaru cried out in pain dropping to her knees and clutching her chest as the Gorgonic Guardian was destroyed. "I don't know what kind of test is this but", Shark frowned.
"Here goes! I summon Depth Shark! When I have no cards on my field I can summon this card without releasing"!
And the shark monster appeared from the water with a growl.
Depth Shark
Level: 5
Atk Points: 1400
Def Points: 0
"Manami"! Shark yelled.
"Right Savior of Light's effect activates letting me special summon a light attribute monster from my hand! Appear Thunder Bird"! Manami yelled.
And with a sharp cry as lightning crashed a lightning gold thunder bird appeared on the field.
Thunder Bird
Level: 5
Atk Points: 1200
Def Points: 2000
"Depth Shark! Thunder Bird! Direct Attack"! Shark yelled.
Depth Shark launched a water stream and Thunder Bird launched a shockwave combining in the water stream yet Hotaru stood shielding Abyss as his LPs dropped.
Abyss LPs: 4000 – 1400
"Thunder Bird's effect activates after it attacks its switched in defense mode", Manami said, as Thunder Bird closed its wings in a defense position.
"I place a card facedown and end my turn", Shark finished.
Durbe looked at them before shaking his head. "Enough lets settle this", Durbe said.
"Lets duel"!
"Durbe before we duel there is something I must ask you first", Astral said.
"Among the seven Barian Emperors there are two we have not met these ruins most likely hold the legends surrounding those two. Why haven't they shown themselves before us"?
"Those two are the leaders of us Seven Barian Emperors, Nasch and Merag they are certainly alive and they will come back", Durbe said.
Darka noticed how Durbe spoke of the two great emotions surprising her. "Could he be close to them"? She thought.
"Yuma, Darka look"!
Yuma and Darka looked and gasped as did Durbe as the saw an aurora. "Wh-what?! What's that"?! Yuma gaped.
"An aurora borealis?! Under the sea"?! Darka gaped.
Then they looked and gasped seeing images in it. "That's Shark"! Yuma gaped.
"And Manami too"! Darka gasped.
"Could they already have started a duel"? Astral questioned shock.
"Look who they're dueling"! Astrana gasped.
"Shark's little sister?! That's their opponent"!? Yuma gasped.
"And why is Hotaru standing next to her"?! Darka gasped, as the aurora disappeared.
"Why are Shark and Manami dueling Rio in the ruins"? Durbe questioned, before facing them
"I'll settle things with you guys next time"!
Durbe had his chaos emanate from him and floated off. "H-hey wait"! Yuma called out.
"Forget about Durbe, Yuma we have to get to Shark and the others", Darka said.
"But to do so we have to get through the labyrinth", Astral said.
Then Astral and Astrana looked at the water looking up. "That's the hole Durbe had created", Astral said.
"Brother", Astrana said with the same thought.
Astral nodded. "Yuma, Darka you're cards", he said.
"Huh"? They questioned.
"Yuma call out Needle Swordsman", Astral said.
"And Darka call out Shadowheart Lily", Astrana said.
"Needle Swordsman"? Yuma questioned.
"Shadowheart Lily"? Darka asked.
"We'll explain later! Hurry"! Astral said.
The two looked at one another then shrugged.
Durbe flew over Antares looked up and gasped. "Durbe"!? He thought shocked.
"Ryoga Kamishiro, Manami Shinori", Durbe thought.
"My turn draw"! Abyss said.
"At this moment Depth Shark's effect activates"! Shark yelled.
"This card's Atk points are doubled during my opponent's turn only"!
Depth Shark's light glowed bright as its Atk points rose.
Depth Shark
Atk Points: 1400 – 2800
"We need to end this duel as fast as possible", Shark said.
"But will it go that smoothly"? Abyss questioned, eyes glowing blue again.
"Right! Follow Needle Swordsman and Shadowheart Lily"!
Darka and Yuma ran following their two monsters as they glided on the water. "Right! Past the water ahead"! Yuma said.
"The end of the maze is where the water ends after all", Darka said, as they turned right.
"I activate the magic card Gorgonic Ritual"! Abyss said.
"This card banishes one rock type Xyz monster from my graveyard I banish Gorgonic Guardian! Then I can special summon two rock type monsters from my graveyard in defense position! Be reborn Gorgonic Golem! Goyle"!
And the two gorgonic monsters appeared on the field in defense position making Manami flinch.
Gorgonic Golem
Level: 3
Atk Points: 1200
Def Points: 600
Gorgonic Gargoyle
Level: 3
Atk Points: 1000
Def Points: 800
"I then activate the magic card Gorgonic Pile! It allows me to raise the level of Gorgonic monsters times the total number on my field"! Abyss said.
"I have two Gorgonic monsters on the field therefore they increase by two levels"!
Gorgonic Gargoyle
Level: 3 – 5
Gorgonic Golem
Level: 3 – 5
"Here it comes"! Manami gasped.
"Ryoga I will wake up your memory! As yours shall awaken as well Manami"! Abyss said, eyes glowing blue again.
They gasped as they found themselves back in the vision again ships broken down destroyed and some in fire Manami found herself in front of Hotaru their weapons lowered yet Hotaru was still kneeling in pain Antares at the bow of the ship as she cursed in another language. "I'm not going to translate that," Antares said.
"Mainly because I can't".
"And its very offensive but you fools dont know what horror Shingetsu-sama is going to summon", Fire cursed.
"What"? Manami questioned.
Then suddenly she heard Vector's shout. "Appear before us, Almighty God"! He yelled.
"What"?! Manami gasped.
Then the water glowed brightly as they looked to see something coming out from the water Shark and Manami gasped opening their eyes. "Manami where"?! Shark began.
"I was with Hotaru and Antares but what Vector just summoned", Manami gasped, as they both looked up.
"Behold Ryoga"! Abyss yelled.
"I overlay the level five Gorgonic Golem and Gargoyle"!
The two monsters once again became dark purple lights going to the portal of the Overlay Network as lightning sparked out from it. "I use these two monsters to build the Overlay Network! Xyz summon"! Abyss yelled.
"Wh-what the"?! Yuma gasped, seeing a bright light.
"The Number is being summoned"! Darka gasped.
Durbe gasped as the Number then appeared on the field in a torrent of water. "Come forth, Number 73"! Abyss yelled.
"The holy water drop falling into chaos, show your power and purify all disorder! Abyss Splash the Roaring Waterfall Diety"!
And moving the water away the monster formed on the field.
Number 73: Abyss Splash the Roaring Waterfall Diety
Rank: 5
Atk Points: 2400
Def Points: 1400
"This guy's the Number of the ruins"?! Shark said shocked.
Then the blue orb of Abyss glowed making them gasp Dumon gasped. "This is"! He gasped shocked, before disappearing.
"What's going on up on that field"?! Yuma gasped shock.
"Lets go guys"!
Darka then felt a pressure clutching her head tightly. "What was that"?! She thought with a gasp.
Astral and Astrana looked at the light and gasped feeling a great pressure and the two then appearing in the vision seeing Abyss Splash over the sea. "Brother"! Astrana gasped.
"What the? Could this possibly be"? Astral began shocked.
"The memories inside these ruins"?!
Shark and Manami looked at Abyss Splash in shock. "The sea god Abyss", she said out of reflex.
"Yeah not friendly stay away from him", Antares said.
Above Abyss Splash floated Durbe watching in shock. "Why?! Why am I being showed this"?! He questioned shocked.
Then he looked and gasped to see Shark and then Manami. "That's! Ryoga and Kamishiro's and Manami Shinori's inside these memories"?! He said, then gasped shocked seeing Shark's pendant.
"That pendant is"!
Abyss Splash raised its scepter launching its attack destroying the ships and parts of the kingdom Shark fell with a wince. "My king"! One of the soldiers cried out as Shark stood.
Manami watched in horror then heard a horse galloping she looked and gasped. "Rio"! Manami yelled, watching her ride the horse.
"Rio"! Shark gasped.
"What is she doing? She's crazy"! Antares yelled, Rio galloping to Abyss Splash.
"Rio… Rio"! Shark yelled.
"Rio"! Manami screeched, running.
"Don't be a fool"! Hotaru yelled, grabbing Manami's arm.
Out of reflex Manami swiftly kneed Hotaru's stomach causing Hotaru to let her go coughing as Manami ran but Antares leapt forward grabbing her wrist. "Are all women here crazy?! You go out there and you'll put yourself in Merag's position! Does your king need that"?! He yelled.
"Merag"? Manami thought, but snarled.
"Im not letting him lose his sister"!
"With your condition"? Hotaru asked eyes narrowed.
"Huh? Condition"? Manami questioned shock.
Then she turned and gasped seeing Rio getting off the horse and walking to Abyss. "Rio"! Shark yelled.
"Get back Rio"! Manami yelled.
Then they gasped being sent back to the duel again as they looked up and gasped. "Rio"! They gasped.
Rio was emanating the light blue aura floating up eyes closed as Fire flew upward her scythe raised. "Hotaru what are you doing"?! Manami shrieked in horror.
"Rio"! Shark gasped.
"Ryoga Kamishiro, your true ordeal beings now".
The two looked to see the spirit of the Number appear in front of them. "My name is Abyss the time has come for me to test your strength", he said.
"Damn you"! Shark growled.
"Let Rio and Hotaru go"! Manami snarled.
Abyss only frowned as he went on his turn. "I activate the effect of Number 73: Abyss Splash"! He yelled.
"By detaching one Overlay unit I can double its Atk points during a battle"!
Number 73: Abyss Splash the Roaring Waterfall Diety
Atk Points: 2400 – 4800
"Its got 4800 Atk points"?! Shark frowned.
"They only have 200 LPs left if this attack hits Depth Shark", Antares gasped.
"Now you are finished", Abyss said.
"Go, Abyss Splash! Attack Depth Shark! Final Fall"!
Abyss Splash raised its scepter launching its beam toward the monster. "Trap activate! Strength Twist"! Manami yelled.
"Manami"! Shark gasped.
"Strength Twist changes the attack target to another monster on our field I change the target to Thunder Bird yet I have to give up half our LPs"! Manami yelled.
The attack redirected destroying Thunder Bird causing Manami to cry out being flung back by the shockwave by the attack and payment of the trap. "AHHHHH"! She shrieked, harshly landing on the floor.
"Manami"! Shark and Antares yelled.
Shark's and Manami's LPs: 1300 – 650
"Looks like you managed to survive", Abyss remarked.
"Manami are you ok"?! Shark called.
"Yeah Im fine", Manami winced, slowly standing.
"I activate Thunder Bird's second effect! When destroyed in battle I can discard a light attribute monster from my hand to special summon it back to the field I send the light attribute Mage Helena from my hand to the graveyard! Resurrect Thunder Bird"!
And appearing out of the dark purple portal was the lightning bird as it flew with a screech.
Thunder Bird
Level: 5
Atk Points: 1200
Def Points: 2000
"So you brought your monster back did you"? Abyss remarked.
"I will then end my turn but you two will not be able to defeat my monster with that level of strength"!
Then Shark and Manami gasped to see Rio in Abyss Splash's hands as Vector laughed maniacally. "Hahahaha! Surrender to me if you don't your sister will disappear in the sea"! Vector laughed, as a whirlpool formed in front of Abyss.
Shark and Manami gasped in horror until then they heard a horse neigh they looked and gasped to see Durbe flying on a Pegasus. "You're Durbe"! Shark gasped.
"Durbe"! Manami gasped.
"Don't be surprised my friends. Did you think I wouldn't come rushing to your aid"? Durbe asked with a smile.
"You say… You're my friend"? Shark said stunned.
"What are you doing?! Shoot him down"! Vector yelled.
His soldiers fired their arrows yet Durbe managed to move away from them as the Barian Durbe watched. "This can't be! My past is linked to Ryoga's and Manami's"? He thought.
"Now choose! Will you save your sister or your country"?! Vector questioned.
Then they saw Rio standing on Abyss Splash's hand. "To undo the evil curse there is no choice but to purify the God with a holy payment", she said.
"Rio! What are you"?! Shark gasped.
Manami gasped in horror in realization. "Rio! Please don't do it"! She shrieked in horror.
"Nii-sama, Manami-neesan my soul will cleanse Abyss", Rio said with a smile, before jumping off.
"Rio", Shark said in horror.
"Durbe! Hurry and save her"! Manami screamed.
Durbe quickly had his Pegasus fly to reach Rio yet his hand couldn't reach as Rio fell in the whirlpool in a green glow to their horror. "Rio"! They yelled in horror, Manami dropping to her knees sobbing.
Then suddenly another monster appeared from the whirlpool glowing light blue making them gasp. "That's the other Number of these Ruins"! Astral gasped.
"But brother does that mean Shark and Rio"?! Astrana gasped, her mouth covered in horror.
"Are they Nasch and Merag"?! Durbe thought shocked.
"No way… Those were my memories just now"! Shark said, speechless, dropping to his knees as the vision was over.
"I couldn't save Rio"?
Manami was covering her mouth as she sobbed crying and hiccupping to near hysteria Antares paling. "They saw it no doubt about it", Antares frowned.
Then the ground shook causing them to look up to see the pillar crumble Rio still floating in the air as Hotaru flew next to her. "This field is exactly the same as your heart", Abyss said.
"You will once again lose your sister in this world as well".
Hotaru raised her scythe and they gasped to see the whirlpool being formed Rio being lowered in it. "The weakness in your heart comes from losing that which is precious to you", Abyss said, nodding to Hotaru.
Hotaru snapped her fingers and the aura around Rio was gone as she then fell in the whirlpool. "RIO"! Shark and Manami yelled.
Then two people swiftly ran past them they looked and gasped to see Yuma and Darka running. "Yuma"! Shark gasped.
"Darka"! Manami shrieked.
"Kattobingu Ore"! Yuma yelled.
Darka grabbed Yuma's wrist and threw him giving him the much needed boost to catch Rio and falling on the other side as Durbe appeared again. "Shark, Manami, Rio is safe"! Yuma yelled, as Astral and Astrana appeared.
"Beat him down without worry"!
"Hotaru"! Darka yelled.
Yet Hotaru was unfazed by Darka's shout making her growl in anger as she jumped and quickly pressed Hotaru's pressure point causing her to crash in the floor as Darka landed making them all gasp. "Oi Darka isn't that a bit much"?! Yuma yelled gaping in shock.
"Like hell it is"! Darka yelled, landing next to her.
Hotaru lost the glow as her clothes returned to normal Darka looked at her then turned. "Beat this guy Shark, Manami! Don't hold back"! Darka yelled.
"Yuma, Darka", Shark said, as Manami hiccupped wiping away her tears.
Then suddenly a card appeared in front of Shark making them gasp as Shark took it. "This is… The Number reincarnation of Rio", he said, before getting serious as he stood walking to Manami putting out his hand to her.
"Lets go Manami for Rio".
Manami looked at him then wiped away her tears before nodding and took his hand. "Yeah for Rio", she nodded, as he pulled her up.
"Now Ryoga, Manami defeat me and regain your memories", Abyss said.
"As a king and queen you must guide this world".
"Stop screwing around! We're not like that"! Shark yelled.
"We are just ourselves"! Manami yelled.
"My turn draw"! Shark yelled.
"I activate the magic card Resurrection of the Dead! Revive Black Ray Lancer"!
Black Ray Lancer then appeared on the field wielding its staff.
Black Ray Lancer
Rank: 3
Atk Points: 2100
Def Points: 600
"Next I activate a trap! Full Armored Xyz! This card activates by targeting one Xyz monster I control first I Xyz summon and the summoned monster is equipped with the targeted monster then it gains Atk points equal of the equipped monster"! Shark said.
"The one I target is Black Ray Lancer"!
Shark and Manami looked at one another and nodded. "We overlay level five Depth Shark and Thunder Bird"! They said.
"We build the Overlay Network using these two monsters! Xyz summon! Come forth, Number 94! Soul shrine maiden with a heart of ice, show your clear and bright soul before us! Crystal Zero the Polar Ice Princess"!
And the female Number elegantly appeared on the field wielding its rapier.
Crystal Zero the Polar Ice Princess
Rank: 5
Atk Points: 2200
Def Points: 1600
"I use the effect of Full Armored Xyz to equip Black Ray Lancer to Crystal Zero"! Shark yelled.
Black Ray Lancer became a dark purple light shooting down on Crystal Zero for her to now wield a black shield and red lance and black armor. "Now Crystal Zero's Atk Points rise to 4300"! Shark yelled.
Crystal Zero the Polar Ice Princess
Atk Points: 2200 – 4300
"That will not happen! I activate Abyss Splash's effect"! Abyss yelled.
"By detaching one Overlay Unit I double its Atk points"!
Number 73: Abyss Splash the Roaring Waterfall Diety
Atk Points: 2400 – 4800
"Your naïve! We activate Crystal Zero's effect"! Shark yelled.
"By detaching one Overlay Unit we can halve one of the opponent's Atk points"! Manami yelled.
"We detach two Overlay Units! Crystal Eraser"!
Crystal Zero used her lance destroying both Overlay Units and launched the beam at Abyss Splash lowering its Atk power. "Now Abyss Splash's Atk power is 1200"! Shark yelled.
Number 73: Abyss Splash the Roaring Waterfall Diety
Atk Points: 4800 – 1200
"Go Crystal Zero"! They yelled.
"Tear Abyss Splash apart! Crystal Javelin"!
Crystal Zero threw her lance toward Abyss Splash piercing it as it was then destroyed the blast sending Abyss flying. "RAAAAAH"! Abyss cried out.
Abyss's LPs: 1400 – 0
Shark and Manami win
Abyss crashed to the floor as Darka sighed with relief. "You did it Shark, Rio"! Yuma grinned.
"Ugh my head", Hotaru said, waking up.
"Finally you're awake", Darka sighed, helping her up.
Abyss slowly sat up as Shark spoke. "Why? Why did you put me, Rio, and Manami through this"? Shark questioned.
"I merely followed thine orders", Abyss said, as he stood up facing the two.
"Thine orders to restore thine memories though had never expected to see her majesty Manami here as well".
"Me"? Manami questioned shock.
"My orders"?! Shark said shocked.
But then Abyss began to disappear. "Hey! What do you mean?! Hey"! Shark called.
But Abyss then disappeared and the Number appeared in front of Shark making him gasp as he took the card. "This is my Number? This cant be", He thought.
"Ryoga Kamishio… Rio", Durbe thought, before disappearing in a portal as mist began to form.
"Wh-what is this"?! Yuma gasped, as the mist shrouded them.
Kotori still was in the small boat as she watched over the sea. "Guys", she said softly.
Then she saw light forming making her gasp. "Huh"? She gasped shocked.
The light then formed everyone Darka and Antares helping Hotaru stand and Manami holding Rio. "Huh? Kotori"! Yuma said.
"Yuma! Guys"! Kotori gasped, running to them.
"We came back"? Yuma said surprised.
"Rio"!
Shark quickly turned and gasped in horror to see Manami holding an unconscious Rio. "Sh-She wont wake up"! Manami shrieked in horror.
"Rio"! Shark gasped in horror.
Hotaru groaned shaking her head as she rubbed her face then she looked and gasped to see Rio. "Rio", she began.
Then she gasped remembering seeing the visions and of the duel making her grow pale in horror.
Vector flew across the dimensions before he gasped sensing Don Thousand. "It would seem that the remaining two Numbers have fallen into Astral's, Astrana's, and the others hands", Don Thousand said.
"What did you say"?! Vector said angrily.
"But do not worry those two will eventually return to our side", Don Thousand said.
"Tch what the hell do you know"?! Vector questioned.
"Everything. Everything there is to know about you everything you felt at those ruins from back when you were human", Don Thousand said.
"You mean me"?! Vector questioned.
"And how you killed Nasch and Merag after you were reincarnated in the Barian World"! Don Thousand said.
Vector grew wide eyed in shock before growling in anger. "You bastard", he growled.
"More importantly we must prepare to end her life", Don Thousand said.
"Her"? Vector questioned.
"The one person who could ruin our whole plan if left alone too long that is why we shall end her life before that happens", Don Thousand said manically.
Aurasoul: All done.
Darka: Have you lost your mind?!
Aurasoul: Skyler asked me the same thing but dont know really to be honest so next chapter will be at the city so until then read and review!
Darka: Wait a minute Aurasoul!
