Sorry if the story is getting a tad bit convoluted. This is my first fanfic after all. Anyways, enjoy the chapter. Also sorry if this is unnecessary filler.
"Wh-what do you mean, Rio? It's me Shark." Rio answers, "Rio? Is that my name? And you're Shark? I'm afraid I don't know anyone by that name." "It appears she's lost her memories", Astral says. Shark looks back in horror and says, "B-but how?" Then, the stranger appears again in front of Shark with the same cocky smile. Shark looks at him in anger and says, "You!", and tries to punch him but it goes straight through. "Do you really think I'd waste my time coming here in physical form? You're quite sad."
Shark exclaims, "What did you do to m sister!?" "Why, I took her memories of course. You see, whenever someone who works under me loses a duel they pay the price with their memories. And the memories also contain some of their power so even if they lose I still get a bonus. For me it's a win-win!" Shark looks at him and anger and says, "Don't you have enough power already!?" Rio asks in confusion, "Who are you talking to?" Shark looks at Rio in confusion and says, "Rio, can't you see him?" "See who?", Rio replies. "
She can't see me because I don't let her. And as for your earlier statement, yes I may have enough power to conquer the humans, but it's still not enough to conquer Astral World. They are much more advanced and contain much more power. Heck, they all have the power of both the powers of Chaos and Order on their side. And combined, my power isn't nearly enough to defeat them. The only reason Dr. Faker got even remotely close is because they were weakened at that time. Anyway that's all I have to say to you. See ya.", and he disappears, only leaving an angry Shark.
Astral says, "Don't let him get to you. Remember, we also have your sister's amnesia to deal with. "Right.", Shark replies and says to Rio, "So tell me do you remember anything about yourself?" Rio replies, "I can't seem to recall anything about my life no." Then, Shark looks and realizes the sun is setting and says, "We'll have to deal with this in the morning. Listen, I know you have no idea who I am but I assure you you can trust me. I would never do anything to hurt you. So will you come with me? I need to protect you until you get your memories back." Rio replies, "I'm assuming by your wording and tone I'm someone who means a great deal to you." Shark smiles and replies, "You are. My sister to be exact."
Then, Rio smiles and says, "Ok then. Let's go." Shark replies, "Right." Meanwhile, in the dimension Yuma's in, the stranger is smirking and says, "All according to plan." "I'm assuming you still plan to use that girl in some way?" The stranger looks back to see Number 96. "Of course. Shark is only stepping further and further into my trap. When I'm done with him, he'll know nothing other than absolute lust for the destruction of Astral World." Number 96 says, "If it involves the destruction of Astral World, I'll do anything I can. But tell me, what are we going to do with Yuma?", as he looks back at the unconscious Yuma.
The stranger replies with a smirk, "Oh, I have big plans for him. Hehehe." "And what would you have me do?" "You know how Astral's host is now Shark?" "What of it?" The stranger replies, "I want you to find a host of your own. Go out and see who is worthy of your power. You may even choose one of Yuma's friends or one of the Barian Emperors." Number 96 says, "Thanks but no thanks. I'll find one on my own." "Suit yourself.", and Number 96 disappears. "Oh Shark. This is only the beginning.", the stranger says to himself.
