DISLAIMER
Nyar... don't own YGO, FF7, HP, IY, so on... Only Rose, her companions, and the Four Chaos Warriors, get it?
Chapter XXIII: Traveling Once More
Rose's P.O.V.
" No... oh please, no..." I said out to the atmosphere. It's foggy, but I know what will come. The fog begins to clear up like a sunny day, and there in front me is the beginning of the scene that will continue to haunt me for the rest of my life...
" Hey! That's my doll!" I see my cousin, Kiara, running after the other me, who looks so much happier... Carefree of the guilt.
" Better catch me quickly then!" the me said as she ducks behind the tree.
" One way to settle this!" Kiara said as she runs off, then comes back with a bunch of other kids, all arm with paintball guns. " C'mon out!"
" You'll have to kill me before you can defeat me!" Rose taunts.
" You idiot... I'm that idiot..." I said as I continue to watch, but then as they began to fight, the dread came to me in a hurry. " NO! Get out of here!" I shout as I began to run to my family. But before I can even reach them, the light sphere intercept my movements and carry me into the air! " LET ME OUT! I GOT TO WARN THEM!" I yell as I begin to pound the side of the sphere, nothing happening to it, as it usually is the case... " Anything, please..." I start to cry, tears running down my face. Here comes the next part...
" AHHHHHH!" someone screams as Kiara and the other Rose looks over to the driveway, where they find one of their uncles on the ground. Someone laughs as spells and magic shoots out everywhere... green and yellow hitting everyone and those people landing on the ground, dead before they even begin to fall. The other me has stop behind a pile of rocks and bricks, and my two parents move in front of her...
" Mother... Father, no, please!" I beg, though I know it's completly useless. They're gonna die in front of me, just like everytime I end up asleep... The guy, Voldemort, the very person I was so sure that week ago didn't exist, aims his wand at my parents and kills them! Even with the sphere muffling everything that goes on outside, I could hear the other me scream out to them. The spell then hits her, but instead of being dead... it only gashes the forehead, remembering on how it felt like lightening and fire hitting my head. The scene starts to disappear as I sob. I so want to escape from this place, but...
" It seems there is more to break you then these dreams," a voice rings out as the sphere disappears out from beneath me, causing me to fall and hit nothing but air, with everything pitch-black. " But, it does its job nicely." A dark figure appears in front of me. This is completly different from those other times...
" W-what d-d-do you want from me?" I said between sobs, trying hard to not look so pathatic.
" You're existance to end," he laughs. It sounds so familiar, but it isn't Voldemort... And again, that Voldemort in my nightmares and when it actually happened sounds a whole like this guy's voice... " Prepare for us, when we take the pleasure of killing you, as well as all that surrounds you!"
" Wake up, hello! C'mon, back to reality," I hear as I am suddenly shaken out of my sleep. And just in time... " Open your eyes, and stop scaring us with your nightmare. Well, the others before they hear you screaming like a banshee or something..."
I open my eyes to see what looks like Malshano's face, which causes me to move quickly enough. I end up screaming bloody murder as I punch him in the face and roll away from him. I land hard on the floor, making me wince from my now sore arm.
" OUCH! What I do now!" ...turns out that it's just Kadaj...
" Gawd, what's happenin' in here?" Ebony said as she rushes into the room, some of the others following. " Uh... Rose?"
" Yeah...?" I said as I sit up from the floor. She spots me, looks at Kadaj's face, then laughs.
" Opps, looks like you scared her out of her wits when she took one look at you," Ebony said. " We forgot to mention that you look like one of her enemies. So, that's why she attacked."
" Yeah, I figured that out..." he grumbles as he holds his face. " And all I was doing is waking her up from some nightmare..."
Ebony steals a glance at me, silently asking if it was what she thinks it is. I look grim as I look down. This answers her question.
" Sorry Kadaj," I said as I get up and head out of the room. Ebony steps aside to let me through, then follows after telling Kadaj something.
" So that's why you-"
" Yes, it is because of the nightmare that I refuse to sleep much," I said softly. " Are we near the continent?"
" Yeah. Why, getting airsick?" Ebony tries to joke, changing the attitude for my sake.
" Nah, just worried about you," I said with a small smile.
" I'm no wuss!"
" Rose?" Aeris said as we enter the control room. " I didn't get to say thank you for bringing me back so that I have a second chance."
" You're welcome. Just promise not to go get killed again, I doubt I could do that trick again," I said with a grin on my face, just trying to stay with a light-heart.
" Don't worry, I won't!"
" We done chatting?" Cid yells on the intercom. " We're landin' in a few!"
" Alright alright Cid, we hear you," Cloud said as he waves the other pilots to do their work on guiding the Highwind. " So, who screamed?" he asks us.
" Rose because of me..." Kadaj said as he slowly walks into the room. He's still cautious around everyone here that he caused problems for. " I woke her up, and she punched my face, thinking I'm someone else."
" Hm," Cloud said as he turns to me, and without letting Kadaj seeing, gives a wink at me, saying 'Good job!' I only blink as he turns to the window
" You know something? I'm bored enough to go arrange my deck," I said as I went to a corner and start to take my dueling deck apart. Finding the card that has me stump on the purpose, I stare at the Purple Eyes Silver Dragon. Why was I sent to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh in the first place? Sure, they saved their world a few times, but what could they do? The cards, somehow, can come to life, or what? ' Gawd, I have a headache now... I should not be questioning something that no one understands...'
" Midgar!" Denzal says excitedly as he points. By that time, I've already fix up my deck and heading for the chocobo stall that's on board. I just wanna visit Kasiya for awhile before the airship lands.

" Well, these days since the bizarre day,and everything is sorta normal now," Ebony comments as we sit in the bar as she helps herself to some of Tifa's salad. I am only nebbling on a piece of celerly, which tastes foriegn to me now.
" I guess."
" Aeris and Zack are certainly spending alot of time together, as well with Cloud."
" Yup."
" What's the matter Rose?"
" Nothing..."
" You should know me by now Rose. I know something's wrong with you. Now, what's bugging?" Ebony said as she faces me now.
" Just edgy and nervous. I do not know why. It just feels like something is going to happen soon..."
" Should I start worrying then?"
" Nah, I think there's nothing to worry about for awhile. I'll let you know when you can panic."
" Gee, thanks," Ebony laughs.
" What're you laughing about?" Joey asks as he sits next to Ebony.
" Nothing for you to really care about," I said as I toss what's left of my celerly at him.
" Yeah Rose, just toss what you began to eat that might have been the first thing to eat for two weeks now," Ebony said sarcastically.
" Eh, my stomach said no, so I just followed its orders to stop eating," I said with a smile.
" Raise the alarm!" someone outside yells as there is a beginning of screams.
" ... gawd, NOW it's time to panic Ebony," I said as I grab my bag and rod, running out the doors to see what it is the cause of terror. My heart stops at the sight of a HUGE black dragon! He's spitting black fire at the ground, getting some of the people, who all now holds burn marks and/or dead... And did I forget to mention huge? He turns towards the bar as he continues to attack the city.
" Holy SHI'!" Barret cries as he comes out to see the dragon. " It's 'bout as big as Bahumut!"
" At least Bahumut is trained to follow orders!" I said as we dive out of the way of its attacking flames. Which were really taking a aim at me... " Oh damn, I reconize the scent. It's Zikomo, Ebony!" I said with sudden realization.
" That thing CANNOT be someone that we have to fight!" Ebony said as she stares at it. " It's a dragon, for pete's sake!"
" Maybe our monsters can help!" Yugi said as he pulls out a card from his deck. " Go, Dark Magician!" He holds the card up to the sky, and surprisingly enough, the magician appears! " Use Dark Magic attack, Dark Magician!"
The attack aim is rather well, but it only bounces off the dragon.
" Step aside Yugi," Kaiba said as he pulls out his card. " Go Blue Eyes White Dragon! White Lightening attack!" This time, it hits with force that the dragon roars in challange.
" Red Eyes Black Dragon, help out!" Yugi said as he calls Dark Magician and brings out the Black Dragon. He attacks at the same time as White Dragon, the attack doubling. The deck in my pouch shines slightly, and that is when I understand why the card is even important in my journey.
" Time to test out our teamwork," I said as I pull out the card. " Hope this works, because you're up as well. Go Purple Eyes Silver Dragon!"
" Purple Eyes..."
" Silver Dragon?" Kaiba and Yugi said as the dragon shoots down from the sky, unlike what their dragons did. The card suddenly turns blank as the Silver Dragon joins the other dragons. It is now three strong dragons vs. one Chaos Warrior.
" Don't question right now guys, we got bigger problems," I said as the others join in with the fight. Joey with his Thousand Dragon, Mai with her Harpie's Pet Dragon, Serinity with her Shadow Tamer, and the others that fights with weapons ready to fight.
" We can take this dragon down now, no sweat!" Yuffie says gleefully.
" So you know, that dragon is also one of my enemies," I point out as I look at Silver Dragon. It seems to know what I am thinking, because it suddenly attacks with a powerful blast of lightening. The other monsters follows the same pattern as Cloud and them jumps at the dragon. Zikomo dodges all but the three dragon's attacks and merely swipes the people out of the way with his tail.
" You're who I want dead," he growls at me as he dives down toward us.
" Move people!" Ebony said as we all hit the deck again.
" We can't be anywhere close enough in power to fight him," I said as I stand back up.
" Little one, you need to trust your powers more," I heard as I turn to look at Silver Dragon. " Even my first master could be a bit doubtful, but she managed to fight exceptionally well against the Chaos Warriors."
" Hell!" Barret said as he stares at the dragon. " You talked!"
" Of course, I'm not some monster that was made-up. I've been stuck in that card ever since my master sealed me in it so that I could be passed on to this new master. But don't talk now, Zikomo comes again."
" I say it's time to get out of here," Joey said as his monster blocks the dragon and ends up back in its card.
" Wimp!" Mai said as she sends her Pet Dragon at Zikomo, scoring another hit now. " Don't cry and hide now, Joey!"
" You were saying?" Joey said as both Serinity and Mai's monsters got sent back to their cards as well.
" Look, it ain't over 'til it's over," Barret said as he pulls his machine arm up, changes it to gun mode, and starts to shoot at the dragon. " Get yer skinny asses out of here, if ya're not helping!"
" Rose," Cloud said as he lands nearby after attacking Zikomo. " We decided to go with you on your journey. We're helping out."
" But... what about the kids?" I ask in shock. I just expected them to say no and wish us luck.
" Our world is also in stake, so we're going with you. No questions asked. Reeve and them can watch the kids, we trust them."
" Okay... let's drive Zikomo out of the city first," I said as I jump over to the stables and got Kasiya out. " Get out of here Kasiya, or else you'll get B-B-Qued."
" No! I'm going to go with you!"
" Look, you got a life here, don't go with me!"
" You're my friend, I'm going too."
" WATCH OUT ROSE!" Ebony yells as Zikomo dives at me this time. I quickly launch out a beam of light that I didn't know I had, but with Zikomo screaming out of blindness and anger, Kasiya suddenly knocks me into the air and got under me to catch me.
" We're going together."
" Fine, then let's just get Zikomo out of here," I said over my heart attack. " We better jet for a new planet so that we can come up with a plan."
" A good plan," Silver Dragon said as it suddenly flies out at Zikomo. " I'll chase him out of the city, you all follow and keep him out so that I can assist on teleporting you all off the planet. It will cost me a great deal of energy, but your safety comes first."
With no considering what it meant by that, we quickly follow the four giant dragons (Black and White are helping out as well) flies out of the city and beyond the walls of Midgar. When we reach the gates and out, we see just in time the White and Black disappearing back to their cards that Kaiba and Yugi holds.
" This seems really hopeless, how da hell do we fight somethin' like that?" Cid said. " Even Bahumut did not put up a fight like this!"
" Zikomo's after me, that's why," I said as Kasiya stops. " So once I'm off this planet, he's off to find me again. Are you guys sure you want to come along?"
" Positive," Cloud and Kadaj said together, which cause both of them to look at each other. Perhaps that is when they start to realize that they are on the same side.
" And we're going too," Yugi said. " We have the power to help, and we want to save our world and others too."
" Settled?" Silver Dragon yells at us.
" Yes," I said after awhile. In a short amount of time, these people devoted themselves to help Ebony, my animal companions, and me on our journey.
" Then begin the portal! I have to give up most of my energy so that you can be strong on the other side. That means me disappearing for a long while."
" What?" I said in disbelief. " After we just met?"
" We'll meet again, be assursed," the dragon said as it launches another attack. " The card will let you know when I am well again, then you can release me!"
" Just do it Rose," Ebony said. " Trust that dragon, they don't lie about anything like that."
" Are you forgetting the fact that Zikomo is one as well?" I snap. " But you're right, I trust the dragon."
" NO! Not this trick again!" Zikomo roars as he launches the largest flame ball ever at us. Silver Dragon blocks it, though now Silver is now falling towards us. Silver begins to turn into something that looks like glitter and falls all over us. Energy rushes through as I suddenly have instructions on how to open the portal.
" Viaclo!!" I suddenly yell as I form a circle in the air, the hole now a purple vortex. " In everyone!" I yell as Kasiya bolts for it. Everyone dives right through, and Kasiya and me are the only ones left to go through. But not before I feel a flame ball on my back and the smell of burnt feathers reaches my nose before we made it through.
Hope the chappie was okay! Lot's a action, as I try to keep it as! Now you know the reason of the Purple Eyes Silver Dragon, and yes, she'll be back. But she won't remain as some card monster, you'll see why! Time to work on the next chapter, so bye!
