Wolf and Leo: (sing-song voices) we own nothing!!
Everyone stiffened when they saw the black cat faint. Crow walked over to Katie who still hadn't moved from where she was kneeling by the couch. Then the phone rang and Jack walked off to answer it.
"Katie you ok? Is it…." He trailed off not wanting to say the last word. Katie shook her head at the question,
"No, Meg's not dead just passed out, but before she passed out she gave me a message."
"What is it?" Yugi asked, worried for his newfound friend.
"She said that Yami will know how to break the collars." Yami perked up at his name, but not leaving Yugi's arms.
'me? How would I know how to break the collar I even tried and it can't be cut.' Yugi relayed his message.
Katie shook her head "she didn't say anything about cutting the collar, but she also gave me a riddle." She closed her eyes to recall it exactly
"Connect the past with the future and your answer will become clear, but answer incorrectly and my life my not sustain, for my time has come. It's up to him if I survive."
Every one blinked at her, except Yugi and Yami, who both looked thoughtful.
"Connect the past with the future?" Crow asked scratching his head, plopping into one of the computer chairs. "what could she mean by that?" every one shook their head suddenly Yusei swatted at a bug that landed on his left shoulder, and Yugi just then noticed the mark on his right forearm as Jack walked back into the room.
"Hey what's with the mark on your arm" he asked, walking over.
"Hu? Oh this, I am a signer to what's known as the crimson dragon, the mark just signifies that I'm a signer." Yusei explained, "Jack and Crow are also signers and we each hold one of the five dragons." As he explained, Jack took off his glove then lifted his white trench coat sleeve to reveal a different red mark on his forearm; wile crow moved the furry arm guard to reveal another red mark on his arm. Then Jack turned to Yusei.
"That was a call from Trudge he needs me to run down to the station real quick said it was important, you got things here?" he eyed there guests.
Yusei nodded "Well see you in a little bit then." Jack nodded then got on his wheel of fortune duel runner and took off.
'five dragons…..oh no…' Yami thought slightly worried,
'Yami what's wrong?' Yugi asked
'Back to the time I was pharaoh, there was a beast called the five headed dragon it was viewed as a god in its self, except to my people who knew the truth. It was a powerful beast that could only be destroyed by light, thankfully I had the gods on my side and the great winged dragon of Ra defeated the beast. If what happened in the past is to happen in the future too, then we have a fight on our hands.'
Yugi looked worried at the information that he just received, and he relayed what Yami said to the others.
"Oh dear" said Katie, "that's not good."
"Yea but what about the rest of the riddle?" Crow asked
"Well the part about 'it will become clear' must mean there's a connection to the five headed dragon and the collar but what?" Yugi said, looking down
"Light" Katie muttered, gaining every one's attention, "we need to use light to destroy the collar, but where are we going to get light energy?'
"You have to remember that you guys are in the future we have lots of stuff that have been modified since you guy's time." Yusei said with a grin, he walked over to his work table and pulled out a cuter but the cutter its self was a laser instead of a blade, and then walked back over to Yugi who was still holding Yami.
"Ok let's see if this works hold still." Yusei grabbed the collar and once again the gold sparkles drifted around his hand.
'Just don't cut me or you're going to wish you were never born.' Yami threatened, as the laser got closer to his neck.
Yusei chuckled slightly, then steadied his hand and gently touched the laser to the top of the collar…..and it cut! Gently he cut through the collar until it dropped in his hand, and had to step back, because as soon as the collar was off Yami started glowing with a golden light. Everyone had to cover their eyes when it got bright enough.
Then just as it appeared it disappeared, revealing a dazed Yami sitting on Yugi. Yugi had collapsed under Yami's weight once he got bigger and was now sitting there gasping at his lover, which Yami quickly took advantage of.
Crow blinked "Am I seeing double?"
Katie laughed "No you're not seeing double, the one on top is Yami in his true form." She helped the two to their feet once Yami stopped kissing Yugi.
"Now that that worked let's try Meg's collar." Said Yusei and walked over to the unconscious cat on the couch, which Crow had cleaned and bandaged the cat's wound while they were thinking about the riddle. Yusei leaned down as Crow walked over to his runner, because there was a call coming in through the com link.
"Hey Katie is this yours?" Crow asked picking up a blue with darker blue trimmings backpack, which was sitting on the seat of his bike.
Katie looked over from where she was watching Yusei cut away the collar, to Crow and her eyes widened.
"yes that's my bag!" she ran over hugged him real quick, then snatched the bag from his hand and opened it to pull out a thermoses, and start chugging the contents of it. Crow blinked at her, but then turned his attention to the com link and turned it on, to find himself staring at Jack.
"Crow is Yusei around?" Jack asked, Crow nodded
"yea he's finishing up something."
"Can you get him for me?" Crow looked confused
"Ok, I guess." Yami walked over to Crow hearing the confusion in his voice, as Yugi finished healing Meg wile Yusei, who had finished getting the collar off, watched in amazement.
"Who is it?" Yami asked as he reached Crow,
"Its Jack, I need to get Yusei." Crow started to walk off as Yami looked at the screen. His eyes widened, as Jack's narrowed.
"Crow wait that's not Jack, it's a daemon!!"
