Yu-Gi-Oh! Era-X

Chapter 10: It's Coming... Impending Battle

In an alley far far away… Or maybe just simply in a dark abandoned alley leading to an old wore-down warehouse on the outskirts of Chiyane City that hadn't been touched in years. A very familiar black robe with blue accents sat down in a chair; he had lead his peers to a safe house he had decided to take refuge in the first time he arrived here on Earth. It was in this abandoned warehouse that they would execute all of their plans and 'he' would secretly set his into action.

"Zentax, what the hell are we doing here." A deep grunting voice questioned. This voice came from the bulky looking guy under the black and brown cloak. He didn't get why they had to sit around the junky place when they could be out terrorizing the people in the city.

"Calm down Bulwarx, we are not even fully powered yet. It will take time before we are able to regain our true strength." A womanly voice stated calmly, this being wore a black and white cloak over her curvy figure.

"I agree with Bulwarx, Livix." A manly voice said from under his black and green robe as he replied to the woman named Livix. This guy was a bit shorter than the others around him though.

A skinny and taller man in a black and yellow cloak then spoke up, "Don't you see Bulwarx and Leonidrax? We are not to upset the balance of the plan. The way I see it, everything will work out fine if we believe in Zentax here. Hehe, don't worry." This guy had a creepy voice that seemed to crawl up your spine and then whisper in your ear. "I, the great Sykis, am never wrong."

Leonidrax gritted his many sharp teeth, "Whatever, just don't be too damn full of yourself. Don't forget Zentax has turned on our lord before."

Zentax said nothing to interrupt his new companions in their lord's plan. He felt no need to, if they were to talk, oh well, who was he to stop their pointless conversation was. Sitting until they were all quite he decided to stand up. Looking at them with his glowing dark blue eyes, he spoke. "Listen to me and you will understand the way I see things going down."

…

Ms. Robinson was walking around the girls' dorm looking for a certain teenage girl. She was accompanied with a young girl around the age of 16. The young girl had blue eyes along with long, thick strawberry blonde hair tied into two pigtails. The girl had a smile on her face as she followed behind the Principal of Suta-Hasha Academy.

"Here we go." Ms. Robinson had found the room she was looking for. Bypassing the lock on the door with her master key-card, she opened it. The room she looked at had two beds on each side of the room. But she didn't expect for the room to be this messy; the floor was covered in clothes and make-up was all over the place. There were also plush dolls resembling animals on shelves and sitting along the edge of the window of the room. In the bed on the far right, Ms. Robinson could make out the outline of a body under the cover. "I'm sorry for the mess, I didn't think she'd keep this bad habit." She said as she tip-toed across the floor and to the bed, grabbing the cover. "Lyone wake up!" she yelled as she tugged the cover off of her secret niece.

Lyone was curled up with her knees close to her chest. She was in her two piece pink and baby blue pajamas. It took Melina to tug on Lyone's messy pink hair for her to even budge. "What? I'm really really like really tired…" Lyone said as she sat up in her bed, rubbing her eyes.

Ms. Robinson stepped aside as she smiled, "Remember her?"

Lyone observed the girl in the black cardigan over a sailor girl uniform with a red skirt. She then tapped her chin as she looked at the girl's frail body from her lace up boots to her cherry hair clips. "Well of course this is Kokonoe."

"Yay, you remembered me!" Kokonoe exclaimed as she jumped onto Lyone bed, "I was afraid you'd have forgotten me after you entered Melina and Camaru's School, but you didn't!" this girl was very full of energy as one could tell by her voice.

"So why are you here?" Lyone asked her as she tried to fix up her bed hair a little bit.

Kokonoe smirked, "There's a small thing I want to see at this place. I want to know if you guys really have the rumored Booster monsters!"

By this time Ms. Robinson had snuck out to resume her Principal duties and had left the girls to catch up.

Lyone had smiled deviously as she heard Kokonoe's reason for coming, "Perfect, I know someone you'd like to meet." She then changed to a friendly smile as she got out her bed, "Just let me get ready first."

Kokonoe put a hand over her mouth as she laughed, "Yep, wouldn't want you to go out looking like that."

…

Neoki was in the school's recovery room, he was still recuperating from his duel with Yurai. Although he was only sore now and he'd mostly healed, he still wasn't feeling like himself. He was sitting up with his Duel Gazer on his head; he seemed to be chatting with someone, giving them instructions.

"Why am I doing this for you again?" a very sarcastic voice spoke to Neoki from his Duel Gazer.

Neoki sighed; he really didn't want to go through this again. If it was up to him he wouldn't have even involved his roommate in his private affairs. It was unfortunate he could barely move his body as in walk even an inch. "Because, Jacob, I can't do it myself and this will help you find what you're looking for in the long run." He was biting his lip trying to refrain from yelling angrily.

"Whatever, this place seems a bit dangerous. Are you sure it's safe here, because if it isn't I swear I'll-" Jacob was interrupted by a scraggly voice that belong to Neoki.

"Just proceed to the staircase. It should be to your left behind some crumbled up boulders." Neoki hurried and told him.

"Found it. So how do I get in?" Jacob asked Neoki through his Duel Gazer communication system.

Neoki could feel his body getting tired, "Hold my deck up by the glowing bluish green door and it should open."

"If you say so… Hey man its opening!" Jacob's voice began to echo throughout Neoki's Gazer, "Wow…"

Elsewhere…

Nikki was wondering around the school duel grounds. She had just won a couple of duels obtaining some more Duel Points. She was anticipating the arrival of the Boost Duel Tournament. She then walked up on a friend who just so happens to be dueling some kid. Because of curiosity she had decided to watch the rest of the match.

"Finish him off Queen Dragun Djinn!" the woman charged at a green haired boy as he lost.

Carl Lp: 0

Fudo Lp: 1600

Winner: Fudo!

Fudo smiled as he saw Nikki and he assumed she had spectated his duel. "Impressive huh?"

Nikki nodded, "Even though I only caught the end, it seemed like a heated duel." She then smiled at the blonde headed boy. "So where are the others? I can't seem to find anyone."

Fudo tapped his head, "Well, Arcaine had to go make a trip to his family's card-shop in town, I think he had to fill in or something." He had pointed out a finger beginning to count in his head, "Jun had to get up early for another Student Council Meeting. When I went to go check on the others Ryuuto and Yurai were sleeping in, Hex was out with Luna, and Hatsuo…" He now held out five fingers as he tried to think where Hatsuo was. "Honestly I don't know where the heck he is." Fudo then tucked his hands in his pocket, "So where are the girls?"

Nikki sighed as she put a hand on her hip, "Lyone decided to skip the Student Council thingy and sleep in. Cloe left out earlier today for a reason I don't know, but she can handle herself. Tenshi is still asleep, I think I bored her to death with Duel Monsters; I was trying to get her into it. Oh, and Luna is taking Hex to go get some new cards. And that's really all I know."

Fudo sighed, "Maybe later on today things will get more exciting."

"Yeah." The cherry red head replied.

…

"Wake up you two!" Aliq yelled as he entered Yurai and Ryuuto's room with the help of Tyson.

Tyson looked at his phone, "Well I'm gonna go now, I'm a very busy guy." He said, walking out. He really did have a busy day, gambling and girls.

Aliq nodded in response to Tyson. "Now wake up! We have business to attend to." He pulled Yurai and a shirtless Ryuuto out of their respective beds.

"But I'm too tired to do anything… I'm gonna go back to sleep…" Yurai yawned, but was being held by the back of his black long-sleeved shirt.

Ryuuto sighed as he rubbed his eyes, "I don't think we're getting out of this one easily…"

"Hello boys!" an overly excited and energetic voice exclaimed seductively.

Yurai peeped behind Aliq to get a glimpse at the one who said something, although he pretty much knew who it was. He looked at the girl with pink hair and multiple drill-like curls. "Hey Lyone…"

"What? You didn't want to see me so early in the morning." Lyone pouted.

"I didn't want to see you so early in the morning." A voice outside the door said while laughing.

Ryuuto raised his eyebrows, he didn't recognize that voice. He figured Lyone had brought along with her a friend.

Lyone's eyebrow twitched, "Shut up Kokonoe! We will not speak of it." She took in a deep breath and regained her composure. "Now, come on in Kokonoe."

Entering Ryuuto and Yurai's room was the girl from earlier which had interrupted Lyone's beauty sleep. Yurai and Ryuuto both looked at the girl with cherry blonde pig-tails and blue eyes.

"Who are you, a Student Council member?" Yurai asked.

Kokonoe held up a finger about to correct Yurai and explain herself, "Well actually I am-"

Lyone stopped the pig tail girl from finishing, "She's just a regular transfer girl who I happen to be friends with."

Yurai scratched his head and yawned, "Seems legit."

Ryuuto was looking around the room as he shivered, their room invaders had left the door open and it was freezing. "Where's my shirt?"

Yurai snickered, "See, that's what you get for wearing no shirt." He held out his arms, "Its time like this was wearing long sleeves come in handy."

Aliq tucked his hands in his pocket, "Coming from the guy who wears a sleeveless hoodie…"

All of a sudden Lyone started ringing, she was trying to ignore it because she didn't feel like chatting and she had a feeling who was calling her. She looked at everyone staring at her as she crossed her arms, "I not going to answer it okay." She said kind of snobbishly.

Aliq's ear twitched, "That constant ringing is really irritating. If you don't want to go to your stupid meeting then why join?"

Lyone sighed as her body basically went limp before she reached for her D-Gazer, "Hello…"

Appearing on her small screen was the Student Council President, Ranmaru. "If it isn't Lyone…"

Lyone was tapping her foot, "Well you did call for me… Now what is it? I was in the middle of showing a new student around."

Ranmaru was smiling, "Well, you see there's a meeting and I don't really see you here. I see Jun, but I don't see his Superior. Maybe I should promote him to Vice President. Hmmm."

Lyone squinted her eyes, "You're bluffing. You kick me and "I'll expose you to that girl! Remember I can blackmail you!" She gave everyone in the room a wink as she covered up her D-Gazer, "See you guys later. Oh, Kokonoe you can just chat with Yurai. He knows a thing or two about what entices your curiosity." She then ran out the room, continuing to converse with Ranmaru.

Kokonoe slowly stepped closer to Yurai in an innocent fashion, "Alright so here's my question." She said as she poked his cheek.

…

Tenshi had been through alot while hanging out with Yurai. It was actually taking a toll on her with the things that have been happening randomly as of late. How could anyone adjust so easily to things like this, its just not normal. Due to all this craziness around her she knew she had to take a day for herself and sleep it off...

While sleeping Tenshi was hit with a major headache that was pounding the inside of her head. She began tossing and turning, kicking the cover off of her bed, and groaning. She then began to hear things, things like voices. Voices echoed throughout her head constantly, but she couldn't understand it all at once. Tenshi raised up out of her bed, looking all over the room as she actually saw the words that she heard. But one in perticular stuck out to her as she was bambarded with all the confusion.

"Stop Yurai!"

Tenshi didn't understand a thing as she dropped to her knees, tears forming in her torquise eyes. She starred at the palm of her hands; she could see more words forming on them.

"Impending -a-er is Y-r-i th- Lv-e Encar-a-i..."

Tenshi's vision was becoming blurred and she could not see all the words as clearly as before. They began breaking, shattering right in front of her as she heard what sounded like sirens ringing right beside her ears. "What's happening to me?" Tenshi was sweating as a tear dropped down from her cheek and she fainted on the floor...

...

Lyone had finally arrived at the Student Council meeting and was panting as she came through the door. "Sorry to keep you waiting." she said sarcasticly as she took her seat in between Ranmaru and Jun.

"Great, now back to business. Next week we are supposedly getting a few transfer students and guess who gets the honor of showing them around. That's right, you guys." Ranmaru said with a grin on his face.

"Why the heck do we have to show these new guys around. It seems more troublesome than its worth." Lyone began to complain. "There should be no reason all these students should be transferring here with weird things going on anyway."

Jun looked at Lyone, holding eye contact for at most three seconds before turning away to look forward. "But its what we are here for. To help the students of this school to the best of our abilities."

"If you don't like all this then get out pinky." a random member growled at Lyone out of jealousy. "We're not going to neglect our job because you are a lazy Vice President."

Ranmaru put up his hands, "Hold on now, there's no need to get hostile here. Atleast not while I'm around." he sat his arms on the table as he starred at Lyone and Jun, "Back to this weirdness going on around campus that seems to follow a certain group of friends. Jun, Lyone, your pals will have to act as an extended unit of the Council when it comes to that matter."

Jun nodded, "Yes sir, we will try our best to see what we can do."

Lyone glared at Jun, "You guys can try your best, I'm taking it easy..." she mumbled to herself. Although Lyone was popular, she didn't really get along with most girls. And with the girl to boy ratio on this Council she was only friends with two boys and non of the girls. Its no wonder she would stick with Yurai's friends since they all treated her as just another girl, which was nice. But here almost everytime she said something, something else was retorted back at her. She was just lucky she was friends with Ranmaru and Jun or she might not have been able to take it.

Ranmaru sighed, "Okay, now to the matters the school wants us to discuss."

...

Yurai had sent Kokonoe to speak with someone he hoped would respond to her with the answers she wanted. He didn't really know everything about them, not to mention he hasn't been able to make contact with Idene since his rematch with Neoki.

"Are you gonna put on your shirt or what?" Aliq told Yurai whom was in a daze for a moment as he was in the middle of getting ready.

Yurai rubbed his head as he picked up his white and red hoodie. "I'm okay, just thinking is all." he then pulled his zip up hoodie over his dark blue beater. "So where are you taking us?" he asked as he jumped down from his top-bunk.

Aliq shrugged, "Well I have a reliable source that says the Boost Duel Tournament will begin very soon. It apparently spread and there are a bunch of stundents dueling it out to qualify."

Yurai sighed as he crossed his arms, "I thought I told you guys I'm not interested in this sort of thing right now."

"Why not? It's the biggest event of the year. You could atleast come and check it out." Ryuuto tried to persuade Yurai to view the annoucement.

"You'll be a loser if you don't." Aliq said as he picked something out of his tooth, "So what do you say?"

Yurai sighed, "Well I'm already up and ready now. I guess I can see what it's about. Plus I know I don't want to be loser when I know I can kick your butt through the roof."

Aliq looked back at Yurai with a sort of passion in his eyes and not the good one, it was more like I'm gonna tear you apart and enjoy it kind of passion. "Reihou, you better mean that figuratively." his voice got unnaturally deeper.

Yurai flinched behind Ryuuto, "You know I did, sir! It was all figures of the speech, yep." He did not feel like dealing with Aliq's bad side right now.

"Great now let's go." Aliq commanded as he left out of Ryuuto and Yurai's room.

...

Kokonoe was following the directions on the piece of paper given to her by Yurai earlier and it lead her to the school's hospital room. "So this is where Neoki is supposed to be." she read the name from the strip of paper with a description of how he looked. "Cold blue eyes, black hair, silver bangs. Alrighty then." she proceeded into the room looking for an answer...
