The immortal signer, Aki Izayoi, curses under her breath. It was really bad timing for the duel runner crash that turned her once-mortal Fiance, Yusei Futto, immortal.
She knows that she will have to find a teacher for him, perhaps one of the MacLeods will do it.
Oh, she thinks, perhaps Alexandra will do it. Alexandra, an immortal and devout protestant evangelist, is not only a good teacher, but if she prays a blessing over someone, it is powerful.
Alexandra Night wakes up with Connor MacLeod next to her. God, she thinks, if you don't kill me, Cassandra will. Even though she knows that God will forgive her and Cassandra isn't one to let the little green monster control her.
When Connor awakens, Alex says,"I'm sorry if I just brought the wrath of a witch, as well as the wrath of God, down on you. This wasn't exactly planned."
Connor chuckles,"You know as well as I that Cassandra never gets jealous, though I wish she would sometimes. As for God, he will forgive both of us. Jesus died on the cross for us."
"Then get out of my room. I make it a point not to make the same mistake twice, so don't tempt me," she says.
"As you wish, I understand," Connor says solemnly.
"Thank you," Alex replies with gratitude.
Just then, her phone rings with the "Hyper Drive" ringtone.
Aki, she thinks, this must be about Yusei. We have another immortal signer. Looks like the Crimson Dragon is bound and determined to alter the fate of the game.
She's got it, the Crimson Dragon thinks, about time. If I am to give immortality to all of those who bear my mark, I have to rely on one with the gifts of the Spirit and of immortality. It's time that I call the Stardust duelist to the teaching of Alexandra Night.
Ok, I'm trusting you Aki, Yusei thinks as he enters Conner's antique shop, where Alexandra is waiting for him.
"Yusei," she greets him with a smile.
Hesitantly, he smiles back.
"It is time that you learn the rules of the game," she says. "for you have become immortal. You will never age again. You will never have children. You could live forever, if you keep your head attached to your shoulders.
"A long time ago, a few immortals became addicted to the power of taking another's quickening. They became convinced that whoever is the last among us will have the power to rule the world. They created the game. The main rule is, there can be only one. Eventually, it was either play the game, or be killed.
"The rules are simple. One on one combat with swords. No one can interfere. Immortals cannot fight when there are mortal witnesses. We cannot fight on holy ground. While evil immortals may break the rules, not even the most evil among us would fight on holy ground."
Yusei reminds her of older immortals when he takes it all in with a nod.
"So, you're going to teach me how to fight?" he asks.
She nods,"Not only with swords, but with hand to hand combat as well. Connor MacLeod, Duncan MacLeod, Cassandra, and Amanda will also be teaching you.
"First, you are going to have to show us what you've got. Aki is at the MacLeod Duel Arena. She will get to watch you duel all of us. So get your duel runner ready and, how do you say it, it's time to rev it up?"
Yusei nods with a grin. He is glad that being part of the game won't take away from his game.
Author's Note:
Alexandra (me): It's time to rev it up, I get to duel Yusei first! Turbo duel style!
Yusei: It's time to rev it up. Good luck, but be ready. I am immortal now. I won't have to be as careful with my feel.
Alexandra: Me neither, and I've been immortal since before GX, so get your game on!
Atemu: Have you been immortal since before the sands of egypt.
Alexandra: duh, my given name is Eve.
Yusei: As in, the wife of Adam?
Alexandra: Yep
Methos: Holy smoke, you're older than me!
Alexandra: Does that surprise you, oh ancient one? *gives Methos sexy grin*
Methos: A little.
Alexandra: Then you can tell me all about it in "private" *gives him "the look"*
Methos:You're on!
Atemu & Yusei: Gross!
Alexandra & Methos: Read and Review!
Cassandra: You little bitch!
Alexandra: *Runs* Help me!
