Shout out to my very first reviewer, hypersreak! This chapter is dedicated to you and your review.

Also, I have decided to stick with the Japanese dubbed names. That means Luna is Ruka and Leo is Rua and Akiza is Aki. Just as a note.

Disclaimer: I only own the Glowers.

Chapter five: Meeting Chris and MaiKa (Rua's POV)

"Class, today we have two new students joining us for the rest of the year," our teacher announced. I studied the boy and girl standing in the front of the classroom. They had matching light green eyes and poised yet relaxed stature.

"Ohayo! My name is MaiKa, and I specialize in fire attribute monsters and their support cards," the girl replied cheerfully. Her flame blue hair was in a French braid that was resting on her right shoulder.

"I'm her twin Chris, and I specialize in wind monsters." The boy's wind blue hair was trimmed neatly to his chin.

"Why don't you two take a seat on either side of Rua and Ruka?" The two nodded and walked to us; Chris sat next to me and MaiKa sat next to Rua. Throughout the class, I kept sneaking glances at the boy. There was something… off about the twins. I just can't tell what.

At the end of the day, Rua and I waved to our friends before starting to walk in the other direction than them. "I hope Aki-neechan is alright. She has been in the hospital for two days now," my brother replied. I nodded.

"I know. I can't believe that happened to her. How does a duel monster literally weaken the duelist's heart?" I wondered out loud.

"Wanna find out?"

We cried out as we were blasted back by a lava blast. After skidding across the ground, we stopped ten yards away from where we had been standing. I looked at the assailant and saw a guy and a girl sneering at us.

"Who are you?" I asked as Rua helped me stand.

"You haven't heard of us? I'm hurt," the girl said mockingly. She placed a hand over her heart. "We are the youngest members of the Flaming Lavas. We were sent to rid the world of the youngest two Signers to help with our plan."

"Well you're wasting your time. Because there is no way I'm going to allow that."

I turned around and saw MaiKa and Chris walking to us. They stopped halfway between us and the other two kids.

"Rua, Ruka. Stand directly behind us," Chris commanded, not looking back at us as he did so. We obeyed; I stood behind Chris and Rua stood behind MaiKa.

"MaiKa, the Glower of Fire. Why are you…?"

"You know why. I have more in common with the Glowers and our Signers than with you. I will never abandon my Signer, so stop asking me!"

"Glower of Fire?" Rua muttered.

"Give us a moment. We'll explain all of this to you later," Chris assured us. I was about to reply when a lava burst approached us fast. But then MaiKa's necklace glowed, and black fire dispersed the lava.

"Don't be foolish, Kaia-Mai." The blue haired girl flinched as Rua and I looked at her in confusion. 'Kaia-Mai? I thought her name was MaiKa?' I thought. "When we win, the flames will take over the entire universe. You need to be on the winning side. You need to be on our side."

"No!" Rua yelped and jumped back when a ring of fire surrounded her. "Meta and Yusei won't allow it! The Flaming Lavas will not prevail!"

"But you're not so sure, are you? That's why you're spinning out of control."

"Shut up!"

I blinked in surprise as the two disappeared in a flash of fire. MaiKa finally calmed down and turned around to look at us. Her eyes were dark. Her necklace soon stopped glowing, and an embarrassed smile graced her lips as her eyes went back to normal. She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly as she spoke.

"We'll escort you to the hospital. On the way, we'll give you the Talk." We nodded and followed them.

~The Talk~

(This is the Talk that was always mentioned when the other Signers met their Glowers. Each separate Glower said what pertains to them, but this is MaiKa speaking.)

MaiKa: First and foremost: I am your Glower (to Rua) and Chris is yours (to Ruka).

A Glower is, basically, a Signer's savior. When the marks of the Crimson Dragon appeared on you, the necklace of the Crimson Knight appeared on me. It is my job to keep you alive.

Each Glower has a power that they are known as the Glower of. I am MaiKa, the Glower of Fire. That's Chris, the Glower of Duel Spirits.

Rua: What determines your power?

MaiKa: The nature of your personality and my own mixed together. Rua, you are always fired up in and out of dueling. I am… kind of two faced in the sense that I will be one way then the other. Therefore, my power is fire. So, the Crimson Knight. It is the Crimson Dragon's savior. The charms on the necklaces are gems from the Knight's sword.

Ruka: So does that mean you can summon a knight?

MaiKa: I was getting to that. Our knights are very similar to your dragons. Same level, same attribute, same type, same attack and defense power. And a portion of the name influences the Knight's name.

Rua: How?

MaiKa: Well, take us for example. Your Signer dragon is Life Stream Dragon. My Glower knight is Life Fire Knight.

Ruka: Wait, so what happens to you if we're in danger or if we… die?

Chris: If you're in danger, our necklaces will teleport us straight to where you are.

MaiKa: And if you die…. Your Glower dies along with you. This is why we risk our lives to save yours.
