I have mostly had writers block for a while which is why I haven't been writing. Alright on to the story.
In the Satellite by the ruins of the old Ener-D reactor.
"Alright this area seems to be the largest collection of shadow energy close to New Domino City." Zero said as he along with Seven and Ninety Three were setting up strange looking machines.
"Remind me what are we going to do with this shadow energy?" Asked Seven as he and Ninety Three hadn't been told why they were there.
"Alright here is what is going to happen. We are going to set up and then defend the shadow energy collectors. Then I am going to use the shadow energy for something personal." Zero explained while they continued to set up the shadow collectors.
"Mine is up." Ninety Three said over their radio.
"Number Two active." Seven said over the radio.
"Final up. Everyone get your decks ready." Zero said as he immediately turned around.
"Why are we readying our decks?" Seven asked as he heard a portal open behind him and he saw monsters come out. "Never mind." Seven said as he saw why.
At Xiphoen Corp HQ
"I don't like the look of Team Zero." Gaia Knight said as he, Eagle Warrior and Phoenix were looking over the footage that their security cameras caught of Team Zero.
"They do seem to be and odd bunch. But the one that seems to be the most interesting is Zero." Eagle Warrior said as he changed the footage to Zero and applied special scanning filters.
"This strange energy is concerning however I can't determine how he got it unless we get close to him." Phoenix said as he looked at the screen.
"Also look at his deck after the last card he drew in the duel." Eagle Warrior said as he changed to after Zero drew his last card of the duel and then zoomed in on the deck and enhanced the image.
"That card seems to be in a serious state of damage. It also looks pretty old." Gaia Knight said examining it.
"Which means that it has to have survived years in his family." Eagle Warrior said as Phoenix was looking out of the window.
"Hey guys looks like a bad storm is coming." Phoenix said as he saw dark clouds gathering above the Satellite.
"Well I guess we're going to have to see how bad it is to determine if the tournament will have to be put on hold." Eagle Warrior said. Then the three of them went to the garage and got on their Duel Runners and drove towards the Satellite.
At the Ener-D reactor
"Well this is the place where we should be able to get a good view of the storm." Eagle Warrior said just as an explosion happened and a group of monsters were sent flying at the knights who dodged and then took out their weapons.
"Take that thing down." Shouted Phoenix as he slashed at one of the monsters.
"What are these things?" Eagle Warrior asked as he knocked one out.
"Seems like spirits. Angry ones mostly." Gaia Knight said as he smashed one into the ground.
"I think I see who is causing this." Phoenix said as he saw Zero with weapon and his monsters shooting at the spirits coming out of the portals.
"This could be our chance to find out what that energy is." Eagle Warrior said as he took down another monster.
"Alright I'm moving in." Phoenix said as he slashed several monsters in his way and slashed one that was about to take down Zero.
"If it isn't the illustrious Phoenix. I must admit I am quite surprised that you came here." Zero said as he continued taking down monsters.
"Well don't get too excited. We were mostly here to check out the storm but I assume your causing it." Phoenix stated as he continued to take down monsters as Eagle Warrior went to Seven and Gaia Knight went to Ninety Three.
"Yep this is our causing for something I plan on doing. Believe me it is very important." Zero said trying to keep his intentions vague.
"Well you are definitely one interesting individual I will give you that." Phoenix said as he started taking a closer look at the energy coming off of Zero but he couldn't identify it.
"Let me guess you're looking at the energy you noticed on your security cameras and you're trying to identify it." Zero said quite confidently.
"How did you know?" Phoenix asked completely intrigued now.
"I know a lot about the Sacred Knights. My ancestor was very interested in you specifically." Zero said revealing a bit more about himself.
"And who was your ancestor?" Phoenix asked thinking of only a few people who would have had been intrigued with him.
"You'll learn later." Zero said as he shot one more monster and all the portals closed.
"Mind telling me what that was about anyway?" Eagle Knight said as he dropped down and brought Seven with him.
"Ya those things were really tough." Gaia Knight said as he climbed out of a tunnel with Ninety Three.
"All will be revealed in time. For now Gaia Knight and Eagle Warrior I have gifts for you." Zero said quite ominously.
"Why do I have a feeling it's a trap?" Eagle Warrior said.
"It is not. Trust me." Zero said as he held each of his hands out and two glowing spheres of energy appeared, one colored green the other colored grey. Zero then tossed the grey one at Gaia Knight and the green one at Eagle Warrior. Then what happened with Phoenix with his armor changing and his power increasing happened with both of them. For Gaia Knight his armor was now made completely out of stone that was more protective than titanium. For Eagle Warrior his armor was as blue as the sky and gained a set of wings.
"What is this?" Eagle Warrior and Gaia Knight asked simultaneously.
"Like Phoenix your prime forms have now been unlocked. They grant greater power and protection than your regular forms. All Sacred Knights have one. My ancestor researched heavily into your pasts. Now if you'll excuse us. Team Zero lets pack it in." Zero said as he and the rest of Team Zero got on their duel runners.
Back at Team Zero's HQ
"I am glad you guys were able to hide the shadow collectors" Zero said.
"Alright so we better start getting ready for the next round in the tournament." Seven said as he and Ninety Three went off into the duel ring.
Rortent Corp HQ
"You two keep failing me. What caused that storm?" Asked the figure in the shadows angrily.
"All we know is that the storm was caused by shadow energy and we couldn't investigate further with Phoenix, Gaia Knight and Eagle Warrior there. I'm sure we will turn up other leads." Thunderstorm said.
Then the doors to the room were blasted off their hinges and Thunderstorm and Torrent sliced them apart.
"Who dares intrude us?" Asked Torrent as he was pointing his trident at a figure who had just walked through the door.
"The name is Zero and I think it would be wise not to mess with me." Zero stated as he walked closer to the end of the room.
"Famous last words." Thunderstorm said as he ran at Zero. But Zero quickly stopped Thunderstorm and punched him back to where he was standing earlier.
"Let me handle this." Torrent said as he charged at Zero. Then a dragon with black eyes and red scales manifested itself behind Zero and blasted Torrent back.
"What are you doing? Deal with him." The figure in the shadows shouted to the two Sacred Knights.
Then both got up and charged Zero at once. Zero then disarmed both Sacred Knights. He then proceeded to hit both with lighting fast jabs and then phase through them to kick them from behind. After both were knocked down the two Sacred Knights got back up and threw many punches and kicks at Zero which he all dodged. Zero then sweeps both of their legs out from under them and kicks them towards the door.
"How is it that you acquired both of their powers during that fight?" The figure in the shadows asked now intrigued.
"Simple I am part of a special group of people who can mimic the abilities of whoever they are fighting. And the reason I came here was to inform all of you that I am willing to help you." Zero said as he held up two glowing spheres and threw them at Thunderstorm and Torrent. When Torrent finished changing he was now made completely of water. When Thunderstorm finished changing he now had wings made out of electricity and had electricity coming out of various parts in his armor.
"Impressive but what can you offer me?" The figure in the shadows asked impressed with what he saw.
"I can offer you the same and more. Sacred Knight of Shadows." Zero said revealing who the figure was.
"And how did you know that?" The Sacred Knight of Shadows asked.
"Simple my ancestor saw that there was a Sacred Knight for fire, wind, water, and earth. Which are four of the duel monster elements. So he deduced that there must be two more Sacred Knights. One to represent light and one to represent darkness. And since Thunderstorm clearly can't be darkness it was only simple guessing to determine who he was taking orders from. Now your new form will have to wait until the end of the tournament but it will be worth it." Zero said as he departed.
And another shocker. Bet you can all probably guess who Zero's ancestor is. I'll let you decide in the reviews. Remember to keep reading for more.
