~ Princess Serenity's/Narrator View ~
As Serenity and the others have gone to their unconscious friends; Venus, Kunzite, and Seto have just awoken. Serenity smiled, "Thank goodness."
"Uh...Princess," Venus spoke as she rubbed her head. "Everyone…what happened?"
"You all duel us, remember?" Serenity replied.
"Dueled?" Venus echoed.
"With stones instead of using your powers, of course." Serenity corrected herself.
"What?" Venus jumped, "That's impossible, I never dueled anything like that. Ever!"
"Neither have I," Kunzite nodded.
"I might," Seto rubbed his head. "But I don't remember what I have dueled with."
"As I have said," Teenaged Chris walked up to Serenity's side. "The only side-effect from one of those Shadow Droids is to have no memory about what has occurred to. The only memory that they only have is before they were taken over."
"Now that makes sense," Atem spoke in relief. Serenity turned to Venus.
"Venus," Serenity spoke. "Tell us, what happened before you were woken up here?"
"I…" Venus rubbed her head, "I remember that I was in the room with Kunzite, and hoping that we could speak to each other, so we could catch up. I also remembered about something had crawled on the back of my neck…and everything has gone to a blank. The next thing that I know is waking up here."
Seto jumped, "Wait," Seto looked at her. "You felt something that has crawled on the back of your neck…felt a pinch or something that has bitten you…and blacked out?"
Venus nodded.
"So did I," Seto replied.
"Same thing," Kunzite nodded.
"It wasn't just a pinch that has attacked you at the back of your necks," Teenaged Chris spoke. "It was the Shadow Spider that has bitten you."
"A Shadow Spider?" Venus echoed.
"A Shadow Spider is a little critter," Teenaged Chris explained. "It is in the same size as any spiders that you all might know of."
"Okay, umm…what does it do?" Serenity asked.
"Well, they all have the same thing in common." Teenaged Chris began, "They all were being born out from Uru himself…wished to know where that mating come from. But…once they were born, with Uru's power. They search for victims, climb onto the back of their necks and bite them. Instead of poison like a Black Widow spider does, they took control of their victims' bodies and use them as their own."
"But…is there a cure to stop it?" Mercury asked.
"There's only one," Teenaged Chris nodded.
"Then what is it?" Zoisite asked.
"It is to defeat them in a duel," Teenaged Chris answered. "Once you have won the duel, the Shadow Spiders will turn to dust and the mark on the victim's arm will vanish."
"But…what will happen if the Shadow Spiders won instead of one of us?" Jupiter asked.
"Into the Neither World that one of us will go," Teenaged Chris shrugged.
"Great," Mars grumbled. "Just great."
"Well, at least that we are safe from that situation," Kunzite spoke.
"Kunzite," Teenaged Chris growled as her eyes turned bright red. "Don't you dare jinx us, nothing comes well whenever we and the kingdom is ever been jinxed?"
"Oh, right." Kunzite gulped, "Sorry."
Teenaged Chris's eyes turned to normal, "Apology accepted," suddenly Teenaged Chris remembered something. "Oh, I have almost forgotten." She pulled out a stone, "Here Seto, it's your Blue Eyes. The one that is controlling you has used it in the battle against us. So we saved it, so it could help is to win the battle to get you back."
"Oh, umm..." Seto took it as his cheeks turned pink, "Thanks."
"Anytime," Teenaged Chris nodded.
"Urgh," Serenity grunted as her arm is glowing and burning at the same time.
"I know Serenity," Teenaged Chris spoke as her voice started to quiver. "I've felt it too," as Venus looked at Serenity's arm and Teenaged Chris's body has too glowed.
Venus's eyes have started to widen, "Girls," Venus turned to the scouts and the others. "Everyone, can you please inform me about what is going on?"
"Well," Endymion rubbed his head as he shrugged. "It's kind of a long story."
"We are in fact…some very good listeners," Seto spoke.
Sometimes he was, Atem rolled his eyes. But…not always, Atem looked at the others.
As everyone looks at each other in the eye and nodded in response.
"Well…where to begin," Artemis has started to explain while Venus, Seto, and Kunzite are listening with the others.
~ Third Person View ~
Near the gate of Silver Millennium, two men that are wearing cloaks are standing at the entrance of the kingdom. One man is wearing a black cloak with violet markings and has a mark on his arm. Right next to the man, the other man is also wearing a black cloak with indigo markings and has a mark on his arm as well. With their hoods over their heads, their faces show pale and dull faces within the shadows themselves. As they step into the kingdom, the marks on their right arms have shimmered purple. "So this is Silver Millennium, huh?" the man in the black cloak with indigo markings has asked.
"Yes, it is." The man in the black cloak with violet markings has answered, "And the Crimson Dragon is defiantly here in the kingdom."
"Including its own Signer," the man in the black cloak with indigo markings nodded.
"Indeed, it is." As they both began to walk towards the city street, one of them has begun to wonder about something that wasn't even planned.
"So…" the man in the black cloak with indigo markings spoke, "How do we suppose to find them anyway?"
"I do not know," the man in the black cloak with violet markings shrugged. "But we do need to know where to begin with, at least."
"Well then," a female voice spoke. "How about to bait them out of hiding and bring the fight right towards us."
"Yes, that could…" the man in the black cloak with the violet markings jumped, "Wait, who's there? Who said that?" both men have turned to the alley. As they looked at the alley, they saw a woman in a battle dress with a black cloak with silver markings and a hood covering her face. As they stare at her as she stands right within the shadows.
The men growled as they get their ancient duel disk ready.
"Who are you?" the man in the black cloak with the violet markings growled he asks the woman.
The woman stepped away from the shadows and she smiles wickedly. "Your guide," she lifted her right arm and shows them her glowing mark that they haven't seen before.
The men gasped.
"You're one of us," the man in the black cloak with indigo markings spoke.
"Indeed, I am." The woman nodded as she put her arm underneath the cloak, all at once, the men have become fully calm.
"Alright," the man in the black cloak with violet markings spoke. "You got our attention, so we're listening."
The woman chuckled as she smiled while the men began to listen to her about her plan against the kingdom of the moon.
