Chapter 5: Legend of the Heart Crystals

A woman entered a dark room. The only light that entered was from the large window in front of her. Few dust particles flew past her face as they were illuminated by the light from the moon. She remained still and looked around. Nothing was out of place because everything seemed as it was days ago. She looked on the floor a few inches ahead of her and her eyes landed on a silhouette that reached as far as where she stood. The silhouette belonged to a man who stood several inches taller than she. His hands were carefully placed behind his back as he faced the large window. He did not say a word, but she knew he sensed her presence.

"...Master," she said bowing her head. "The girl got away..." For a moment, he stayed silent. She was hoping that he wouldn't say anything, but she knew him all too well. She was given one task and she failed.

"You mean to tell me that you let a little child get away?" His powerful voice filled the room. She winced slightly. It was clear in his voice that he was mad.

She quickly bowed her head again. "...I'm sorry Master. The vessel would have been much stronger if the child had not discovered that she was a holder of a Heart Crystal."

This got his attention. He only turned his head to the side to look at her. "Oh?"

She nodded and he couldn't help the urge to smirk. He felt a strong energy in her, but this news caught him off guard. His eyes turned back to his view outside of the window. "The girl is more powerful than I expected. A Heart Crystal hasn't been revealed in centuries..."

The woman remained silent. Regardless of Luna's strength, she felt as though there was no excuse to let her get away. She hadn't even hit puberty yet! Her eyes fell to the floor in embarrassment. However, she was surprised when she heard the man laugh.

"If she has a Heart Crystal, then that must mean that the other holders are nearby." He said.

She blinked. "How can you be so sure?" She remembered a blond being with the child, but she wasn't giving off the same energy that Luna was. She couldn't have been one, and she didn't see any others around.

"Maybe if you did your research then you'd already know that the Heart Crystals are all connected." He finally turned to face her, though she couldn't see any of his features. She quickly looked away, ashamed. "...However, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."

Her eyes widened as she looked at his figure. She knew that he must have been feeling generous today.

"Find that girl. She has to know where the other holders of the Heart Crystals are."

A small smile crept onto her face and she immediately nodded. "Of course, I'll assure you I won't come back empty handed." With that being said, she rushed out of the room before he could even respond. She closed the door behind her and her eyes narrowed. Never would she be embarrassed again, and by a kid no less.

The man on the other side of the door went to a chair that was nearby. He slowly sat down and let his head fall back on the top of the padding. He stared at the ceiling. "I've been searching 18 years to find you...I'll have you soon enough."

Leo, beating the high score of a game he was playing, placed the game controller on the floor. He stretched and walked out the room. He let out a small sigh. Although he still felt sad about Yusei, he was glad that video games cheered him up a bit. It was exactly what he needed if he wanted to stay strong for the others.

He walked into the living room and something seemed...off. He suddenly got this bad feeling, but he couldn't figure out why. He turned to Luna's room to see if she felt the same thing he did. However, as he entered her room, she was nowhere to be seen. Running out he checked every room and every stop in the house but he found nothing. He was starting to figure out why he had a bad feeling.

He starts shaking slightly. He would never be able to forgive himself if something bad happened to her. "Luna?" He calls out worriedly. Even though he had already checked every spot in the house, he was hoping that somehow, someway, she would come running out of a super-secret hiding spot and scare him.

Hearing noise at the top of the stairs, he immediately turned around, only to find Akiza. She could read the worry all in his eyes.

"Leo? What's wrong?" She asked concerned.

The young signer was now fighting the urge to cry and fell to his knees. His head dropped down. Seeing this, Akiza rushed to his side. She bends down with him, but froze once she heard why he was upset.

"Luna's gone..." He quietly said, but he didn't need to say it louder. Her eyes widened.

"What?" She asked. She heard exactly what he said, but she didn't want to believe it.

"She was here earlier...and now...she's gone..." Tears fell from his eyes onto the carpet.

Akiza was in shock. She didn't know what she would do if Luna was hurt because of her. She was beyond scared. They didn't know whether someone took her or she just disappeared. She almost began to panic. "We have to find her Leo!"

They jumped to their feet. They began running to the door, but stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the door fly wide open.

Luna and Sabrina stood side by side. The two signers assumed that they had been running because they were breathing hard.

"Luna!" They yelled. It was obvious that they were surprised, but they definitely were relieved.

They ran up to them. Leo immediately hugged his sister. Before she returned he had started to think the worse had happened to her. She hugged back.

"Where were you? I was so scared! Don't ever scare me like that again!" He said, hugging her tighter.

Akiza looked at Sabrina and gave her a confused look. "Sabrina, did you find her?"

Sabrina slightly shook her head. "We just so happened to run into each other."

Akiza turned to her as Leo released her. "You scared us!" She said to her, raising her voice a little. "It's not safe to go out and not tell anyone where you are going!" Luna, however, did not seem to hear her. She looked as though she was staring off into space. The three shot her confused looks.

"Luna?" Sabrina asked slowly, unsure of what was going on.

Seconds later Luna rushed to the stairs. She needed to see Yusei. As she reached his room she slowly opened his door. She let her feet carry her over to his bed. Standing over him, she got a closer look at him. She noticed that his breathing was heavy and he had a pained expression on his face. His shoulder was securely wrapped, thanks to Akiza.

Luna looked as though she wanted to cry. She hated seeing Yusei in pain.

"He needs you, Luna..." She heard Ancient Fairy Dragon call out to her. Luna slightly nodded. She knew what she needed to do. Closing her eyes, she held one of her hands over Yusei's chest and the other over his shoulder. Had she not been so focused, she would have heard the others stop at the doorway. Sabrina watched Luna use her magic again. Akiza and Leo, however, stood in shock. Luna's hands began to glow and soon, spread throughout Yusei's body.

"What's going on?..." Akiza whispered to no one in particular. She then began to focus on Luna and her eyes widened. She began to feel an intense energy coming from her. It wasn't like anything she has ever felt before.

Moments later, the glowing dimmed and Luna lowered her hands. She let out a sigh as she watched Yusei begin to wake up.

"Thank you," She mentally said to her companion. This was a big change for her. She did not know what was going on, but she knew that Ancient Fairy Dragon would never let anything happen to her. The energy that she felt through her dragon was amazing, and something that she wanted to learn more about.

Yusei opened his eyes to see Luna standing over him. He sat up to get a better look at her. She smiled at him. He raised his right eyebrow in confusion.

"Glad to have you back," she said quietly.

"Yusei!" Leo and Akiza exclaimed, making their way over to him. Taking his eyes off of the young girl, he directed his attention to the other signers.

"Hi guys," he finally said smiling and hugging the boy that ran into his arms. Akiza let out a relieved sigh. She had almost forgotten how amazing he looked when he smiled.

"How are you feeling?" Akiza asked, worry still present in her voice.

For a moment, he didn't answer. He wasn't being rude, but he had to make sure that he wasn't losing his mind. He lifted his arm over his head and felt no pain. Actually, he was sure that it had to be a miracle.

"Nothing hurts." He said. Yusei then threw his cover off and moved his legs to the edge of the bed. "I feel fully recovered, but how?"

"It was Luna! I don't know what she did, but it was awesome!" Leo blurted out, excitedly. All eyes in the room turned to her.

"Is this true?" Yusei asked her. They made eye contact and he could see in her eyes something different.

She nodded. "I used my power to heal you."

"I didn't know you had that kind of power." He said surprised.

"She didn't until today." Everyone turned their attention to the blond that was still standing in the doorway. "Luna has unlocked a part of herself that she didn't know was there."

Akiza stepped closer to her. She was anxious to know more about what Luna discovered while she was away. She was intrigued about this new, stronger energy she felt from her. Sabrina looked at them and gave them a small smile.

"Luna is a holder of a legendary Heart Crystal." She told them, noticing that everyone was looking at her confused. She knew she had some explaining to do. She turned to walk out the door, motioning with her right hand for them to follow. It did not take her long to find the kitchen, especially since it was just right of the stairs. She went to the table that sat in the middle of the room and pulled out a seat. The four signers quickly followed her and chose a seat at the table.

Sabrina let out a small sigh, indicating that she was ready to begin her story. "Many years ago, there was a powerful psychic duelist that threatened to destroy our world. His power came from the darkness in people's hearts and he wanted to use that power to control the Psychic World. When he realized that very few people shared the same vision he had, he set out to destroy everyone in his way. Families were torn apart, friendships were tested, and hundreds of people were killed. Duel monsters ravaged through town and cities everywhere, and although many had tried to challenge him, all of them had failed. There was only one person who could stop him and in turn became our world's only hope to survive."

Leo leaned in closer to her. His eyes were wide and his mouth was refusing to close. "Who?" He asked, interrupting her story. Luna's eyes travelled up the ceiling and she slowly shook her head. She was just as interested as he was, but she wasn't the type to cut someone else off.

"Let her finish..." she said quietly. She knew if she didn't say it, though, that he would keep cutting her off with his questions.

Sabrina, however, turned her palms towards the ceiling and shrugged her shoulders. "Actually, I don't know. No one does. The only thing that we know is that she was the ultimate psychic duelist, with powers unimaginable."

Akiza blinked in surprise. She began to remember distant memories from her time at the Arcadia Movement. For some reason, she felt as though Sabrina's story felt familiar to her.

"She?"

Sabrina nodded her head. "This woman was the only one who could stop him. She got her powers from the combined powers of the legendary guardians of the Psychic World."

"But what does this have to do with Luna?" Yusei asked her suddenly. He was by no means trying to be rude, but so far from her story, he was unable to find the connection between her and Sabrina's story or them for that matter.

"Because the legendary guardians each gave a Heart Crystal to one person that they believed were destined to have it. However, after the woman banished the evil that threatened our world, the legendary guardians were sealed into stone. To free them, the chosen ones need to find the shrines." Sabrina looked over to Luna. "Ancient Fairy Dragon felt that you were worthy, so she entrusted her powers in you."

Luna stared at her in disbelief. She wasn't sure if Sabrina was completely correct, but why would she go out of her way to lie? She, however, did not know why Ancient Fairy Dragon never said anything about this.

"Since Luna has a Heart Crystal, there is a good possibly that you three may have one too."

Akiza's eyes widened as her mind started racing a mile a minute. She couldn't help but wonder if this was connected to what she wanted to know about her powers. She lowered her head. Her thoughts kept returning to when she lost control of her powers when she confronted her parents about lying to her. The energy she felt was different. "Was any of that linked to these Heart Crystals?" She couldn't help but wonder.

"Cool!" Leo seemed more excited than another. It was as though all his dreams of becoming a superhero were coming true. "It would be awesome if I had the powers Luna had."

Sabrina looked at Akiza. She could tell that she had something on her mind. Yusei must have noticed the same thing because she saw him reach over and put his hand on her thigh. Akiza turned to look at him and gave him a small smile.

"I know what you're thinking Akiza.." Sabrina said as she watched Akiza look at her surprised. "After she sealed the legendary guardians in stone, she disappeared, never to be heard from again. The only one who has ever gotten close to her power is Divine." Sabrina said with a sad smile. For a second, she couldn't read the look in Akiza's eyes. She responded with a small nod as she stared at her before looking at the table. It was just a lot for her to take in. Divine was starting to become more and more important, yet she had no clue as to where he could be.

"Sabrina?" Luna spoke softly. "Is there an easy way to figure out if they are the holders of the Heart Crystals or not?"

She shook her head. "The only way to figure it out is by trying to find the shrines."

"But what if we can't? If I recall, I don't ever remember you saying that these things were easy to find." Yusei said staring at her.

"If you are the chosen ones, then you will find it. It's your destiny." She said as she reached her hand out in the direction that she saw a map in. The map flew to her hands and she laid it out on the table in front of them. "Since one shrine was here, I am positive the other three are in 3 of these 8 districts. It might take you a while to find them, but if this is truly who you are, you should be able to get in touch with your powers."

"Will you come with us?" Leo asked looking down at the map.

Sabrina stared at him a moment before answering. "No, I can't. I have other...responsibilities I need to take care of here."

Just then they heard the front door open. Surprised, they all turned in that direction to see an old brunette woman walk in. They let out a relived sigh. Phyllis walked in with a large food container in her hands. She closed the door with her foot and smiled at them all in the kitchen.

"Hello! We had leftovers at the restaurant so I thought I would bring you guys some." She said with a big smile plastered over her face. Yusei got out of his seat and walked towards her, taking the large container out of her hands and placing it on the counter. She looked at Sabrina. "Oh, who are you?"

Sabrina smiled at her. "I'm Sabrina, I met them two days ago in the forest." Phyllis, however, did not hear her. Instead, she squinted her eyes at her slightly. Akiza looked at the old woman and seemed to be in complete thought. She could tell for a second she did not seem happy to see her, but Akiza just brushed it off.

"What are you guys doing?" She asked them, smiling again.

At first, no one said anything, but Yusei figured that she would not appreciate being ignored. "Well, we haven't been to some of the districts so we were thinking that we should just go check them out."

"If you are going to the districts, make sure you are careful. Sometimes the routes between Ancient City and the districts are difficult to get through." The older woman said.

"They will be fine." Sabrina said sternly. Then there was tension in the room. The signers looked back and forth between Phyllis and Sabrina. They two women stared at each other a while before Sabrina closed her eyes and stood from her seat.

"I must be going." She turned and smiled at them all. "If you look out for each other on your journey to the districts, you'll be fine."

They all nodded. Luna stood up and walked to her. Before Sabrina knew it, the young girl wrapped her arms around her and held her tight. "Thank you," Sabrina heard her say. Her face softened as she returned her hug. Letting go, she gave Phyllis one last look before she walked out.

"Hmph," Phyllis responded to her.

"What was that all about?" Leo whispered to Yusei. However, Yusei was just as confused he was, so he shrugged. They looked at Phyllis and she began smiling again.

"When are you leaving?" She asked them and then Akiza looked at Yusei.

"We can leave sometime tomorrow." She saw looking him in the eyes.

He nodded and smiled. "So while we come up with a plan, let's eat. I'm starving." He turned to the food. They were happy to have Yusei back. As they gang grabbed plates, Akiza walked up behind Yusei and hugged his back. Yusei's eyes softened. He knew that she was glad he was okay, and he was too, because he was going to need all the energy that he could get.

That's it. Sorry for the long wait and sorry for any mistakes. Please read and review.
