Luna felt her mind become clear after a few minutes and her vision soon followed. She saw in front of her meadows of grass and a stream cutting through it. She was amazed by what she saw, then by the stream she saw small duel monsters. Luna gasped I must be in the Spirit World she thought. It sure has changed since the last time I was here she thought. But why am I here now?
"Hello Luna." A voice said from behind her causing her to jump.
She spun around and saw that the owner of the voice was a large white lion, "Regulus!" She said running forward to hug him. Regulus smiled at Luna's reaction and put a paw around her to hug her back.
"It is good to see you too Luna." He told her.
"It has been, so long I am so sorry." She cried with tears coming down her cheeks.
"That is the past now Luna. We cannot dwell on it, but I do forgive you." He assured her.
"O..ok. So what did you bring me here for?" She responded drying her eyes.
Regulus started walking back into the forest behind them confusing Luna, "That is for Ancient Fairy Dragon to tell you." He told her, then let her ride on his back. Luna nodded and soon they were off. Regulus ran for a few minutes then they reached a large tree with a hollow bottom.
They stopped outside and Luna got off. They walked inside to see Ancient Fairy Dragon on a throne. Regulus walked up and bowed and Luna followed. Ancient Fairy Dragon chuckled, "Come now there is no need to be so formal Luna."
"Sorry, Ancient Fairy Dragon. So why did you bring me back to the Spirit Realm?" Luna asked.
Ancient Fairy Dragon sighed, "I am sorry we could not meet on better circumstances. We have noticed that you have discovered a book on the Seal of Orichalcos." She explained and Regulus shivered at the mention of the seal.
"Yes, but how does this relate to what is going on now and why are you guys so afraid of it?" Luna asked.
"Well you see Luna. Along time ago that seal almost destroyed the world and imprisoned many duel spirits to be sacrificed. It was stopped, but only barely." Ancient Fairy Dragon explained, "I have called you here to tell you that these gems while similar are not the same as the seal. In fact they may even be more powerful. We do know however that these gems originated from the Shadow Realm or as you know it the Netherworld."
"How do we stop them if they are so powerful? Yusei has been defeated, Jack and Akiza have been defeated how can we beat them?" Luna asked worriedly.
"We do not know Luna, but we think the best way to deal with this threat is to defeat it just as the 3 legendary duelists did." Ancient Fairy Dragon told her.
"But they used the three Egyptian God cards, and I have never heard of those cards before. How can we use that power if we don't know anything about them?" Luna asked.
"The Gods have been lost for many years, but they also used three legendary dragons Timaeus, Hermos, and Critias." Ancient Fairy Dragon continued.
"Can we use those three?" Luna asked.
Ancient Fairy Dragon sighed, "I do not think so Luna, no one has heard from them in sometime either."
"Oh. So we can't do anything." Luna said sadly.
"Not with an attitude like that Luna." A voice said from behind her. Luna spun around to see who it was. Behind them flowed down a large figure sitting cross-legged. When the figure came into the light is was revealed to be a large old magician with a staff, who was wearing purple robes and had a beard.
"Who are you Mr. Magician?" Luna asked.
He chuckled, "I am hurt Luna. After all we went through with the Dark Signers you don't remember me."
Luna gasped in shock how could this wizard have helped her with the Dark Signers. The only ones with her were Regulus and Torunka, "Torunka is that you?" She asked.
"Yes Luna. It has been awhile." He told her.
"I'm sorry Torunka. I am so used to seeing your younger self." Luna apologized as she ran up to hug him.
"It is ok Luna." He told her.
"Thank you Torunka. Do you know a way to defeat these gem users?" Luna asked.
"I may have a way." He told her.
"Could you tell me?" She asked him.
"No." He said bluntly and Luna was shocked with her mouth hanging open, "Ha ha ha. Got you Luna. Of course I will."
Luna breathed a sigh of relief, "Please don't do that Torunka I almost fainted." She told him.
"Sorry Luna I had to get a laugh. I don't get much in my old age." He told her, "Now about how to defeat this new enemy. I don't know a way for sure, but there's a place in the Spirit World that no one goes to even me. This place has great power around it. This place might hold the answers you are looking for."
Luna beamed, "Could you show me this place Torunka?" She asked.
"Yes. Let us go." He told her and the four of them moved out of the tree. They traveled until they came to a river, "Let us stop here." Torunka said. Everyone agreed and began to relax.
Luna walked over to Torunka to ask him more about the place they were going to, "Torunka?"
"Yes Luna?" He replied.
"Could you tell me more about this place we are going to?" She asked him.
"Well it is very far from here it could take a while. Like I told you there is a presence of great power there. I really don't know much about it. The place has not allowed any into it I have only watched it from afar." He told her.
"But if you have only watched it how do you know it will help?" Luna asked.
"I don't know I had a dream a while ago. It showed you in front of the place then there was a flash of light, a loud roar and that was the end. For me that is enough proof." He explained to her, "Sorry I have no other information that is all I know."
"That's ok Torunka." She told him patting his side.
"I believe it is time we moved on." Regulus said and they all agreed.
They walked for a while longer then they came across an old castle. They went inside and decided to rest again. Luna decided to take a nap next to Regulus. They slept for a bit then they heard a roar that rattled the castle. The group ran outside to the balcony to see what it was. What they saw was bone chilling. Landing on the roof adjacent to them was a large white dragon with dark blue eyes and similar claws. Its tale was long and had a ended in a sword. It turned around and grinned at them. "So good of you to give your location to us Signer." The dragon sneered.
"Who are you and how did you find us?" Luna asked.
"I am Inus dragon of light and your worst nightmare Signer. As to how I found you. We can sense when you travel to the Spirit Realm and where you do it at." The dragon responded.
"What do you want with her!?" Regulus roared.
"I want her soul and Ancient Fairy Dragon." He answered.
"We will never be taken by you!" Ancient Fairy Dragon screeched.
"Don't be so sure." He replied.
"How do you intend to take us?" Luna asked.
"Personally I would like to just snatch you two up and leave, but the ancient rules dictate that I must give you a chance to defend your self's. So I must defeat you in a duel." He explained.
"And if I refuse?" She asked.
Inus chuckled, "You are a smart one. If you refuse then your friends will be taken as offerings to the gem god."
Luna gasped in shock. "Why don't you try!?" Regulus roared.
Inus chuckled then shot a ray of light at Regulus and Torunka. They moaned in pain as their energy was drained. "Stop! I'll duel just leave them alone!" Luna begged.
Inus complied. "Very well then smart girl. Now let us begin." On his arm appeared a large duel disk.
"How can I duel if I don't have my cards or my duel disk?" Luna asked.
"You simply will them to appear." Ancient Fairy Dragon explained.
Luna thought about her deck and duel disk trying to get them to appear. After a few minutes she felt some extra weight on her left arm. She opened her eyes to see her pink duel disk on it. She looked on it awe. She soon came out of her shock then activated her duel disk.
"Let's duel!" They both called out.
Luna 4000LP-Inus 4000LP
"I shall allow you to go first." Inus said.
"Thank you I shall." Luna replied drawing her card. "I summon my Armored White Bear. Then I place two cards face down and end my turn." On Luna's field appeared a large white bear covered in green and grey armor.
Armored White Bear 1800/1400 Beast Level 4
Luna 4000LP-Inus 4000LP
"My turn then. I activate Charge of the Light Brigade. This card allows me to send the top 3 cards of my deck to the graveyard to add one level 4 or lower Lightsworn monster from my deck to my hand." Inus discarded 3 cards to his graveyard then added a monster to his hand, "So I add Lumina to my hand. Then because Eclipse Wyvern was sent to my graveyard I can now banish 1 level 7 or higher light or dark dragon monster from my deck." From Inus's deck a card flew out then disappeared. "Now I summon Jain, Lightsworn Paladin, then I activate Shining Realm." On Inus's field appeared a paladin in white and gold armor with a shining sword. Then around them appeared pillars that shined brightly.
Jain, Lightsworn Paladin 1800/1200 Warrior Level 4 - Jain, Lightsworn Paladin 1900/1200 Warrior Level 4
"Now I will attack your Bear. Go Lightsworn sword slash!" Jain leapt forward and slashed Luna's Armored White Bear destroying it.
"When you destroy my Armored White Bear I can special summon Regulus to my field from my deck." Luna said as Regulus jumped onto her field.
Luna 3600LP-Inus 4000LP
"Wait your monster only had 1900 attack points. I should have only taken 100 points of damage." Luna exclaimed.
"Well you see. My monster gains 300 attack points when it attacks a monster. Sorry I forgot to mention that." Inus explained. "Now I set two cards face down and end my turn. Then when I end my turn my Jain sends two cards from the top of deck to the graveyard." Inus ended as he sent the cards to the graveyard. Then one of the pillar got a white gem on it.
"What was that?" Regulus asked.
"That was a shine counter. When cards are sent from my deck to the graveyard my Shining Realm gets a shine counter on it and my Lightsworn's gain an extra 100 attack points." Inus explained.
Jain, Lightsworn Paladin 1900/1200 Warrior Level 4- Jain, Lightsworn Paladin 2000/1200 Warrior Level 4
Luna 3600LP-Inus 4000LP
"My turn then. I draw." Luna said, "Now I summon my Sunlight Unicorn. Then I activate its effect to look at the top card of my deck and if it's a equip card I can equip it to my unicorn." Luna checked the top card of her deck and smiled, "My top card was Horn of the Unicorn. So I now equip it to my Sunlight Unicorn." Next to Regulus appeared a white unicorn with a blue mane, then the unicorn's horn grew bigger and shined.
Sunlight Unicorn 1800/1000 Beast Level 4- Sunlight Unicorn 2500/1000 Beast Level 4
"Then I activate my Bad Reaction to Simochi. With this card when you would gain life points you instead lose life points equal to the amount you would have gained. Now I activate Rain of Mercy. We both gain 1000 life points, but instead you will lose 1000." Luna continued as it rained around them.
Luna 4600LP-Inus 3000LP
"Now I shall attack with my Sunlight Unicorn. Go Unicorn horn strike!" Luna commanded as her Unicorn charged towards Jain.
"Not so fast. I now activate my face down Lightsworn Sabre. With this card a Lightsworn monster that I equip with this card gains 700 attack points. So I equip Jain with it." Inus countered.
Lightsworn Paladin 2000/1200 Warrior Level 4-Lightsworn Paladin 2700/1200 Warrior Level 4
"Oh no Sunlight Unicorn!" Luna exclaimed as her unicorn's attack was blocked then slashed.
Luna 4400LP-Inus 3000LP
"My horn of the Unicorn then goes to the top of my deck, then I end my turn with two face downs." Luna said.
"Good. My turn now I draw." Inus said starting his turn, "Now I summon a monster in face down defense mode. Then I will attack your Regulus. Go Lightsworn Sabre slash!" Jain leapt forward and slashed Regulus who roared in pain. Then was sent into the wall being them.
"Regulus!" Luna yelled racing to him to check up on him. She found he was alright and sighed in relief. Torunka floated over to them. "Take care of him please. Ok?" She asked him and he nodded. She walked back to the balcony with Ancient Fairy Dragon to finish the duel.
Luna 3400LP-Inus 3000LP
"Now I will activate my face down Light Spiral with this card when cards are sent from my deck to the graveyard I can banish the top card of your deck. Now I end my turn causing Jain's effect which then activates Shining Realm and Light Spiral." Inus said. He took two cards form his deck and put them into his graveyard, then another shine counter appeared on Shining Realm. Then the top card of Luna's deck was sucked up into the Light Spiral.
"You won't get away with what you did to Regulus." Luna told Inus as she drew her card and he just chuckled, "I summon Kuribon in attack mode." On Luna's field appeared a small brown furry creature. It had a tail with a red bow and big green eyes. "Then I will end my turn."
Kuribon 300/200 Fairy Level 1
"Ha your defense is a brown fur ball?" Inus asked as he drew his card and Kuribon was angered by this. "Now I play a face down card. Then I shall attack your Kuribon with Jain. Go Lightsworn Sabre Slash!" Jain followed the command and leapt at Kuribon ready to slash it.
"I activate Kuribon's effect!" Luna countered.
"What!?" Inus exclaimed.
"With my Kuribon's effect first I take no battle damage from this attack, secondly you gain life points equal to your monsters attack which because of my Bad Reaction to Simochi you take what you would have gained, and finally my Kuribon returns to my hand." Luna explained as rays of light shot at Inus. Then she yelled at Inus, "This is for what you did to Regulus!"
"I may be taking a lot of damage, but you're not getting off scot free either. I activate Ruthless Betrayal" Inus said countering Luna's counter. Inus's face down flipped up showing a spell card with a man stabbing another in the back with red eye's in the background.
"What!?" Luna and Ancient Fairy Dragon exclaimed.
"My Ruthless Betrayal can only be activated when I would effect damage of over 3000 life points. With this card by paying 1000 life points you take the damage instead and I draw 1 card." Inus explained as beams of light shot out of his card at Luna. There was a huge explosion as both duelists were hit by the damage.
"I then flip my face down monster up Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter with it I destroy your Bad Reaction to Simochi, but I also have to discard the top 3 cards of my deck. Then I will end my turn with a face down." Inus said from his smoke. There was another explosion as Luna's trap was destroyed, in the background of the smoke was an illuminated shape of a wolf. Then a bit of light was shown as the top two cards of Luna's deck was banished and another two shine counter appeared on Shining Realm.
Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter 200/100 Beast Level 2
Luna 300LP-Inus 2000LP
The smoke of the explosions soon faded. Inus was shown with a little bit of his scales darkened. Luna however was blown into the wall of the room and was huffing and puffing for breath. She was dirty from the smoke and burned from the explosion, her hair was a mess and her sleeves had cuts from the force of the explosion. There was also a rumble from the tower they were on
"I draw." Luna said shakily as she drew her card. "I now activate my face down Bad Reaction? With this card you choose a 1, 2, or 3 and for each number you draw a card and I gain 2000 life points times the number." Luna coughed out.
"Fine then I choose 1 then." Inus said as he drew his card and Luna was showed with sparkles of light.
Luna 2300LP-Inus 2000LP
"Now I summon my Counselor Fairy." Luna said getting her breath back. On Luna's field appeared a pink haired counselor. She wore a lab coat and a red dress underneath. She had angle wings on her back and had a clipboard and pen in her hands.
Counselor Fairy 400/1500 Fairy/Tuner Level 3
"Then I will activate my face down Synchro Material. With this card I can use one of your monsters as a synchro material for my synchro summon. Now I tune my level 3 Counselor Fairy and your Level 4 Jain, Lightsworn Paladin to synchro summon a level 7 synchro monster." Counselor Fairy morphed into 3 rings that surrounded Jain. Then a beam of light was shot through the rings, "I synchro summon Ancient Fairy Dragon!" Luna called. When the light faded Ancient Fairy Dragon was now in front of Luna.
Ancient Fairy Dragon 2100/3000 Dragon Level 7
"Finally now I can deal you some damage, instead of sitting on the side lines." Ancient Fairy Dragon.
"It works to my advantage as well. Now I can make you pay along with your signer." Inus responded. In his mind though his thoughts were different. She's so pretty how could anyone that pretty be bad. He thought. Then he realized what he had thought. No she's the enemy I can't crush on her, but her eyes are so alluring and her wings look so soft. No stop it I can't have fallen for her this quick. He sighed fine I've fallen for the enemy, but maybe I can have her spared. She may not like it, but she will be safe and maybe I can persuade her to be mine. he thought smiling. The two dragons stared each other down one was full of distain while the other was a newfound longing.
"If you two are done I will finish my turn." Luna said rudely.
"Luna are you ok?" Ancient Fairy Dragon asked worriedly.
"Yeah I'm fine sorry." Luna answered, "Now I activate my Counselor Fairy's effect by paying 500 life points my Synchro monster gains 1000 attack points." From Luna's graveyard shot a beam of light that flew over Ancient Fairy Dragon showering it with golden dust.
Ancient Fairy Dragon 3100/3000 Dragon Level 7
"Now I activate Ancient Fairy Dragon's effect to destroy your Shining Realm! Go Plain Black!" Luna continued.
"What!?" Inus exclaimed as the towers of light crumbled. "Grr. You will pay for that now I activate my Shining Realm when it is destroyed I can draw cards equal to half the number of shine counters that were on it. So I now draw 2 cards.
Luna 2800LP-Inus 2000LP
"It makes no difference. I will still crush your mutt. Now I gain 1000 life points for destroying your field spell. Now go Ancient Fairy Dragon! Eternal Sunshine!" Luna commanded Ancient Fairy Dragon shot a yellow blast at Ryko vaporizing it.
"I activate Sharp Light from my hand to half the battle damage I take but you get to draw a card." Inus countered as he took the damage from the attack. She's pretty and powerful it seems he thought.
Luna 2800LP-Inus 550LP
"Fine then I will play a face down. Now I end my turn." Luna said angrily.
"Luna calm down we'll get him soon enough." Ancient Fairy Dragon told her.
"Ok sorry." Luna apologized.
"My move now I will make you two pay!" Inus told them as he drew his card. He looked at it and smirked, "Now since I have at least 4 light type monsters with different names in my graveyard I can now special summon Lightray Diabolos." On Inus's field appeared a large golden dragon clad in blue armor and large blue wings.
Lightray Diabolos 2800/1000 Dragon Level 8
"Now I activate his effect I can banish one light monster from my graveyard to place one of your set cards on either the top or bottom of your deck. So now I banish Eclipse Wyvern so I can place your set card on the bottom of your deck." Inus continued.
From his graveyard Eclipse Wyvern shot out and vanished then from the sky came another card that Inus caught as Luna's set card was put on the bottom of her deck. "Now because I banished my Eclipse Wyvern I get the card I banished when I sent it to the graveyard." Inus explained when he saw Luna had a confused look on her face.
"Now I will activate my Lightray Apprentice in my graveyards effect. By banishing it and 1 other light monster in my graveyard as long as I control a Lightray monster my monster gains 1000 attack points and yours loses 500 attack points." Inus told her. As his monster started to glow with power and Ancient Fairy Dragon started to lose her power.
Ancient Fairy Dragon 1600/3000 Dragon Level 7
Lightray Diabolos 3800/1000 Dragon Level 8
"Now Lightray Diabolos attack Ancient Fairy Dragon! Go Lightray Blast!" He ordered. Please forgive me my dear, but this must be done just hope it doesn't hurt to much.
Lightray Diabolos opened its mouth then shot a huge beam of golden light at Ancient Fairy Dragon. Luna and Ancient Fairy Dragon looked on in shock. The blast hit Ancient Fairy Dragon like a ton of bricks sending her back into and through the wall behind her. The force of the blast also sent Luna backward.
Inus winced at seeing her blown through the wall.. Ok that's a relationship killer, maybe if I heal her later I can be forgiven for that he thought
Luna 600LP-Inus 550LP
"Now I end my turn with a face down. Your move. If you can play it that is?" Inus ended.
Luna slowly got up to her feet. She looked at her duel disk seeing that she was still ahead in life points she gave a weak smirk then drew her card. "I will defeat you and make you pay!" Luna yelled at Inus angrily.
"Looks like I finally got you angry little girl." He chuckled back angering her further.
"Yes and you're going to regret it." She retorted confidently, but on the inside she was scared. She had nothing to beat his dragon with.
"Luna you ok?" Torunka asked her and she just gave a weak nod. "Here Luna I will help you." He told her then his staff glowed and sent sparkles over Luna.
"I activate my spell card. Werewolf Draw. With this card I can banish up to 5 beast monsters form my hand or graveyard to draw as many cards from my deck, but I must pay 100 life points for each one. So I banish my Sunlight Unicorn, Regulus and my Armored White Bear from by graveyard to draw 3 cards and I take 300 points of damage." Luna explained as she drew her 3 cards and the 3 beasts she banished flew from her graveyard into the air and disappeared.
"Now I activate my spell card Sage's summon by discarding a monster and paying half my life points I can now discard the Time Wizard and Dark Magician in my hand to summon the Dark Sage from my Deck." She continued.
"What!? You've never used those cards before!" Inus exclaimed.
"Well now I am and I'm going to use them to defeat you." She shot back, "Now come forward Dark Sage!" Torunka floated forward in front of Luna
Dark Sage 2800/3200 Spellcaster Level 9
"Now I activate his effect to add one spell card to my hand. I choose One-shot wand. Now I equip it to my Dark Sage." Luna explained.
Dark Sage 3600/3200 Spellcaster Level 9
"Now Dark Sage attack! Go Dark Sorcery Attack!" Luna ordered as Torunka pointed his staff at Lightray Diablos and a dark blast came out of it and hit the dragon in the chest. Diablos roared in agony then shattered with an explosion and the tower shook again from the force.
Luna 600LP-Inus 0000LP
Luna sighed, "Finally it's over."
"Not so fast signer!" Inus roared from the smoke and Luna shot up with a shock. He had not gone through so much pain and sorrow to be taken out now. Dam if he liked the signer dragon! He had almost been killed by this little girl and he would make her pay!
"But how!?" She and Torunka exclaimed.
"I activated my face down Relay Soul!" Inus roared as the smoke cleared showing him climbing up the roof and trap card now revealed. "With this I can summon a monster from my hand and as long as it is still on the field I don't lose." He explained, "So I summon Judgment Dragon as my monster!" On Inus's field appeared a large white dragon that looked like it had fur instead of scales. It had red eyes and large red claws, as well as two large wings matching its body.
"Now I activate his effect, by paying 1000 life points I can destroy everything on the field but himself. Go Cleansing Light!" He called. Judgment Dragon shot a large ray that engulfed both One-shot wand and Dark Sage sending latter backwards where he hit the ground next to Regulus.
"Now goodbye Signer. Go Judgment Ray!" Inus ordered.
Judgment Dragon opened its mouth then shot a large red ray at Luna blasting her off her feet and shaking the tower they were in. Inus chuckled he had now succeeded where the others had failed. Now he would get the respect he deserved.
Luna slowly got up to her feet. She looked around and saw Inus in front of her and Regulus and Torunka to her left. She felt a little woozy she noticed as she felt her self-move from side to side. Wait a minute that's not me! She thought. Around her the tower was crumbling from the punishment it had taken.
She saw Torunka notice it to. "We have to get out of here!" She yelled and he nodded. He used his magic to carry Regulus. They ran as quickly as they could down the stairs as the tower crumbled. Where they had been now was covered in stone from the towers ceiling.
Inus stopped his vision of his bright future when he heard a rumbling. He looked at the tower and saw that the balcony doorway had collapsed and the balcony was gone. "NOOO!" He roared he hadn't captured her soul or Ancient Fairy Dragon's. If they died he couldn't take their souls. Inus took off and circled the now crumbling tower. I have to find them if Sesha finds out I killed them she'll have my head! He thought franticly.
Luna ran quickly down the spiral stair case dodging left and right pieces of debris. She tried to jump over a large stone brick in front of her, but she tripped on it. She landed on the stairs below her slamming her legs into them. She yelled in pain then saw a piece of stone smash next to her. She looked up and saw another piece slip out of the ceiling ready to crush her this time. She put her hands up to shield herself and shut her eyes waiting for it to hit her. After a few seconds she felt nothing. She opened her eyes to see the piece of stone right above her, but held in a purple outline. She looked behind her to see Torunka using his magic to hold it up.
"Thanks." She said.
He nodded, "We need to keep moving!" He yelled as he set the piece of stone down beside Luna who nodded.
They continued down the stairs as the tower continued to crumble. They almost reached the bottom when Luna heard a yell of pain behind her. She quickly turned around and saw that Torunka had been hit by the ceiling blocks and dropped Regulus.
"Torunka! Regulus!" She yelled as she quickly ran to them.
"L…Luna." Torunka coughed.
"I'm here Torunka." She told him.
"G.g. on without us Luna." He told her.
Luna looked at him in shock, "Never Torunka we will all get out of here. We just have to keep going." She told him. She tried to help him up, "Come on Torunka the exit is just down the stairs we can make it."
"I..ll. I'll try Luna." He said weakly as he started to stand up. He used his remaining magic to carry Regulus as Luna kept him up. They were almost out of the crumbling tower. Then just as they reached the bottom the ceiling collapsed blocking the exit.
"H...how do we get out now?" Luna asked defeated.
"We don't Luna." Torunka replied.
Luna looked at him with shock, "No we can give up! We just can't! Help Ancient Fairy Dragon! Anyone! HELP!"
"Luna stop. No one can hear you." Torunka told her as he used the gem in hi staff to illuminate the space around them.
"We can't just sit here. We have to get out of here!" Luna yelled at him angrily.
"Look Luna all we can do is sit here and wait. If you keep yelling you will run out of oxygen." Torunka told her calmly.
"Sorry Torunka." She said calming down.
They sat there for a while as the tower started to settle down, only having the occasional rumble from above.
"Torunka? Torunka?" She whispered.
"What is it Luna?" He whispered back.
"Can we talk? The silence is scaring me." She asked.
"Sure. What did you wanna talk about?" He replied.
"I don't know. Umm. How have things in the Spirit World been?" She said unsure.
"They have been fine since the fall of the Zeman. We have been at peace." He told her. "How has your life been Luna?" He asked her.
"My life?" She sighed, "Well it has been pretty well since me and Leo went to go live with our parents. It was good to see mom and dad again. We spent a lot of time together. Eventually Leo became a Pro Turbo Duelist. I on the other hand got some new friends and now I'm going to be a clothes designer. But my parents didn't spend time with Leo and I like Yusei and the others did. Sometimes I wish we had never left. Now I really do, if we hadn't left Yusei wouldn't have been so alone." She cried.
"I'm sorry that life didn't turn out like you thought. All we can do know is to make it out of here and to that location. Then we can get your friend back. Torunka said comforting her.
"Thanks Torunka." She told him.
"N...no pr...problem L...l.l.u.n...a.a-" Torunka stuttered then stopped.
Luna looked up at Torunka. She saw he had his eyes closed, she put her head on his chest to check his heart. She gasped when she heard it beating very slowly. "Torunka wake up. Wake up." She said frantically as she shook him. She heard a flap of wings outside and quickly stood up, "HELP! HELP! ANCIENT FAIRY DRAGON HELP US!" To her dismay she heard the wind beats growing distant. "NO PLEASE HELP US!" She yelled, "Help us please." She said quietly tears streaming down her face. Then she felt light headed, she swayed from side to side. She started walking back to Torunka, but then she slipped on a piece of rubble and hit the ground hard. She lifted her head up and to her shock the ground in front of her was red. She shakily felt her head and it was wet. She looked at her hand and it was covered in blood. She stared to panic, but then she calmed down. I have to stay strong for Torunka she told herself as she crawled over to him and leaded on him. She slowly saw her vision get blurry and felt her breathing get ragged.
This is it I guess. I'm sorry Leo, Crow, Akiza, Jack, Sherry, and especially you Yusei. Luna saw her life flash before her eyes. Her time with the spirit's, her time with Leo, how she and him first found Yusei, her duel with the professor, watching Leo duel Sayer, being sent to the Spirit World again, finding Torunka and Regulus, taking down Zeman, Dueling Devack with Leo, watching Yusei, Jack and Crow duel Goodwin, dueling Lester with Leo, being part of the pit crew during the World Racing Grand Prix and watching it, dueling Aporia with Jack and Leo, watching Jack and Yusei duel, deciding to go live with her parents, the time she spent with them , her new friends and graduating college, coming back to New Domino City and everything that had happened till now. "I...I'm sorry guys." She said as she lost consciousness.
Then from the wall nearby burst a large winged form from outside. It looked around it and saw the three forms laying down. It grabbed them in its claws then walked out of the tower as it collapsed on itself.
Luna gasped for breath as she woke up. How are we alive did Ancient Fairy Dragon save us? She looked to her side to see Torunka and Regulus still knocked out. But where was Ancient Fairy Dragon? If she saved them where was she? She heard wing beats approaching them and sighed in relief.
"I'm glad you found us thank you." She said without looking at who it was.
"Your welcome. I'm glad I found you to." A familiar voice replied.
Luna sat up quickly to see Inus smirking at her. "It's glad I found you when I did or you would be dead signer."
"Why did you save us?" She asked.
"I cannot take your soul if you are dead signer. Although I almost hesitate to take this one's soul." He told her as he took Ancient Fairy Dragon from his back and put her down gently.
"So now what?" Luna asked, "You're gonna take all of our souls now?"
"No just you two the others will be free to go." Inus told her looking down almost sadly.
Luna was going to say something else when they heard Ancient Fairy Dragon woke up with a gasp. She tried to sit up, but was too exhausted by the hit she took earlier. She looked at Luna and sighed, then noticed a large shadow over her. She looked up to see Inus and yelled, "What are you doing here!?"
"Saving you for starters." He told her.
"Don't make me laugh, you saved us just so you could steal our souls!" She countered.
"I was!" He said, "But I wanted to talk to my opponents first. It's been so long since I've had a nice talk." He said laying down.
"What makes you think we would want to talk to you!? You're trying to take our souls!" Ancient Fairy Dragon roared.
"Well you're suppose to be a very civilized dragon and what ever freedom you can get should be appreciated." He told them. "Now I believe your friend here also would like to survive." He said as he looked over to Torunka.
"You can save him?" Luna asked.
"Of course." He said as he took out a spell card Dian Keto the Cure Master to be exact. It glowed and soon healing sparkles were going over the three. Luna began to feel better and her head injury didn't feel as bad.
Luna ran to Torunka and listened to his heart as it sped up to normal speeds, "Thank you." She told Inus. She may still be mad at him, but she wasn't ungrateful.
"Of course my quarrel is only with you two." He said sitting down.
"Why are you being nice now?" Ancient Fairy Dragon asked.
"That's for two reasons." He answered though in his head he knew it was three.
"And those are?" She prodded.
"One this gem of light is powerful, but just like all power it corrupts and makes me angrier. I apologize for some of my behavior, sending you though that wall and bringing the tower down." He told them looking a little ashamed.
Luna looked at him with a bit of sorrow even if she was still mad at him. "And the other reason?" She asked.
He told them looking straight at them, "I was mad for what you did to my Sesha."
"We did that to prevent anymore trouble." She defended herself.
"She was a harmless chick that you banished to the Shadow Realm for thousands of years right after her father was killed and then she lost her mother! It's no wonder she wants your souls!" Inus roared.
"S-she lost her mother?" Luna asked shocked.
"Yes she did, but that isn't important right now. The reason I haven't taken your souls is because I might support her in her quest for revenge, but I have found something disturbing." He answered.
"What have you found?" Ancient Fairy Dragon asked she didn't trust him, but any info was good info.
"The gems are dangerous and after Sesha gets what she want's something horrible will happen. I have tried to warn Sesha of this, but she will not listen. I owe her my life and will do anything to protect her. That's why I need you two you and the rest of the signers may be able to defeat her and prevent this tragedy from happening." Inus explained.
"How can we trust you? And why didn't you tell us this before we dueled!" Ancient Fairy Dragon asked suspiciously.
"I admit I was a little bit extreme. The reasons I did was because I didn't know the extent of the gems power until I dueled you two. I also had to make sure you were powerful enough to face her within time that is." He explained looking a little guilty.
"What do you mean within time?" Luna asked.
"You may have almost defeated me, but Sesha is on a whole different level then me. Your strongest duelist Yusei was defeated by Hydrak and he is only our 5th strongest dueler." Inus told them.
The Luna and Ancient Fairy Dragon were both shocked by this. "If she's that powerful then how can we win?" Luna asked looking down.
"I-I don't know Luna." Ancient Fairy Dragon said.
Seeing this Inus sighed an shook his head. He knew he would have to help them especially the female dragon so he could get on her good side, "Look at you two!" He yelled causing them to snap their heads up. "You two have faced giant machines, evil deities, and cyborgs all bent on world destruction or control. And now look at you feeling bad for yourselves after a 10 year rest is over and someone stronger comes along! My teammates or now former teammates have been through worse then you will ever go through, but we still fight on! The world needs you! Your friends need you!" He yelled at them, I need you he thought quietly.
"You're right. We still have that place were headed." Luna said encouraged by Inus's words.
"Yes you're right Luna. And I guess thank you Inus." She said while begrudgingly thanking Inus.
I'll take what I can get he thought, "What's this place your headed to?" He asked intrigued.
The two glanced at each other and Ancient Fairy Dragon nodded finally, "We are headed to a place of great power that Torunka thinks could help us defeat the gems." Luna told him.
"Ah so that's why you're out here in the middle of nowhere. I know of this place you are headed to. Unfortunately you will never reach it in time to prevent Sesha from gaining enough power." Inus said.
"How do we get there fast enough then?" Luna asked.
"I know of a way to get there faster, but it is a lot more dangerous." He told them.
"How do we know you won't be leading us to a trap?" Ancient Fairy Dragon accused.
"I have no reason to. If I wanted to really cause you harm I would have taken your soul's already. Besides I've been there before when I was looking for alternate sources of power to use against you signers." He answered.
"Fine, but you will walk in front." Ancient Fairy Dragon said eyeing him.
"What ever you desire madam." He said.
"What do we do with Regulus and Torunka?" Luna asked.
"I could carry them if you wanted." Inus offered.
Luna pondered this she may not trust Inus totally, but he seemed genuine and Ancient Fairy Dragon was in no shape to be carrying those two. She sighed and nodded. He took them and put them on his back and began to walk away from the climbed onto Ancient Fairy Dragon and they began to follow him.
They traveled for quite a while with some breaks in between. They could have gone longer as Inus had offered to carry the two of them, but they refused much to his disappointment. In a few hours they had to stop to rest. Inus went off to lie to Sesha about his mission while Luna and Ancient Fairy Dragon talked before she went back to the human world.
"Do you think we can trust him?" She asked.
"I do not think, so he clearly had ulterior motives." Ancient Fairy Dragon said.
"I don't think, so he seems genuine and he seems to like you." She said.
"Like me? He had me knocked through a wall." Ancient Fairy Dragon exclaimed.
"He did apologize." Luna reminded her.
"Well you haven't forgiven him totally either." Ancient Fairy pointed out.
"Yah, but I'm willing to give him a chance you should too." Luna said.
"I-I shall try." Ancient Fairy said.
"Alright then. I should be heading back before the others start to worry." Luna said.
"Goodbye Luna." Ancient Fairy told her.
"Goodbye." She as she disappeared.
Just then Inus came back. "Where's Luna?" He asked.
"She had gone back to her world. How did you talk go?" She replied.
"Sesha suspects nothing. I have told her that I am still tracking you two, but we must move quick when Luna arrives for she shall not be fooled forever." He told her.
"Good let's get some rest then." She said then pointed over to a spot 20 feet away, "Stay over there and don't get any ideas ok." She said.
"What do you mean?" He asked though he knew what she meant.
"J-just stay over there." She said blushing a bit as his statement. Because if she said it that would mean she had been thinking it which she had, but he didn't need to know that. The reason she had been thinking it was because she did kind of like the feeling of laying next to a big strong male dragon that wasn't her brother. She had not found anyone she like romantically over her entire life. To bad he is still a bad guy technically. She thought to her self as she began to fall asleep.
Luna came out of her trance to find she was in the park with Crow and that Kalin had arrived. "Luna are you ok?" Crow asked her
"Yeah." She responded then looked at Crow, "Though it looks like I should be the one asking you that question."
Crow grinned sheepishly, "So what happened Luna? Crow asked her.
"I'll tell you guys when we get back to the others." She told them. "Can you drive?" She asked.
"I'll have to. You guys go ahead I'll take a while." He told them. "You got your runner still?" Crow asked Kalin and he nodded. "Take her back to the hospital. Ok?" He told them.
"Alright see you there." Kalin told him as he and Luna walked to his duel runner.
Kalin got on and started it up and Luna got on behind him. He sped off towards the hospital. Luna sighed this was a very long day.
Unknown location
Sesha sighed as she saw a portal open up in the middle her home. From the portal appeared a blue sea serpent. "Ah Tania. I trust everything went well?" She asked them.
"I am sorry my queen after I found the two signers when the young one went to the Spirit World and I was able track them complications arose. I almost had the one who uses the Black-Winged Dragon, but our duel was interrupted by a man named Kalin and I was too weak to beat him." Tania reported bowing low to Sesha.
Sesha growled in irritation, "You were defeated by a normal human!" She roared.
"I am sorry my queen. This man however felt different then a normal human." Tania begged.
"Sounds like an excuse!" She roared.
"She speaks the truth my love." A voice said from behind her.
"What do you mean Iango?" She asked.
Iango stepped forward, "She faced no normal human. Kalin Kessler was once a Dark Signer and one of the most powerful. He was a very good duelist even without the dark power." He explained.
Sesha pondered this new information, "Very well then. You are forgiven Tania apologies." He told Tania.
"O…of course my queen." She answered stunned that she was forgiven. "What news of Inus's mission?
"He is still tracking his target's at the moment it seems the location he went to was a decoy of sorts, but he should have them soon." Sesha said then dismissed her and she flew down to her mate.
"Who shall we send tomorrow?" Iango asked.
"I have heard that wild fires are quite destructive." She said.
"Yes those two should work nicely, but how do we draw them out?" He asked.
"I have a few ways in mind." She said as she laid back down to sunbathe and he mate soon joined her.
