FTP: And it's finally time for chapter 5 lol thank my cold who gave me a day off meaning I finished my work and I has nothing to do but write *coughs repeatedly*
Fortune Thief: Easy FTP or you'll choke ^^'
Akiza: and now a big surprise for chapter 5 I believe :D
FTP: Yep yep thanks to all your reviews thank you very much for all those who like the story I got a very good idea which will be a little unexpected xD
Jack: Carly is gone again…*confused*
Aki, FTP and Fortune Thief: *facepalm*
Yusei: Enjoy ladies and gentleman :]
Mina sighed knowing well enough that from this point onwards everything would get more and more complicated.
"Wake her up will you before I start," she snapped at the sound of Carly's heavy breathing, who was still sleeping on Akiza's shoulder who looked deep in thought staring at the green haired reporter.
Akiza blew the thoughts coming to her away and shook Carly awake, who opened her eyes tiredly and apologized to Akiza who smiled sympathetically.
"Now, it took really long to even find part of this information, these thieves are no amateurs and know their job very well, after all they have been doing it for at least twenty generations if not more," Mina started
Sherry interrupted, "To be exact it is a job which is passed down to the children sort of like a tradition,"
"Yes, with the information Miss LeBlanc and we could recover we arrived to the conclusion that they are no mere thieves,"
Carly stiffened as their essay which was too close to the truth for her liking progressed.
"Wait a minute," Jack interrupted, "you can't mean they have something to do with the Royal Dragon Ragnarok?"
"That's actually the exact conclusion we reached, the Fortune thieves aren't merely one family of thieves but four!"
'Oh crap, crap, crap' Carly thought managing to barely keep composed.
"You mean there are more?" the twins exclaimed
"But it makes sense since there are five gems, one gem for each family except that there's a missing family," Akiza reasoned
"The lapis lazuli which represents the Twin Wolf shadow Hati currently owned by Fortune Thief both card and gem, the Sapphire of the Ice Horse Pegasus whose gem is also in the hands of the thief, then there are the Emerald representing the Twin wolf metal Skoll…" Yusei began
"Whose gem and card are brother to the lapis lazuli of the shadow wolf Hati thus we have concluded that most probably the same family possess the twin gems," Mina explained
"Then Fortune thief has the emerald and card of the other wolf too!" Leo jumped in
'Darn they know too much, it's true I have both cards but only the sapphire and lapis lazuli, but I don't know where the emerald is, but hopefully Mina found out too and if she did so did they…'
"Last but not least the ruby of the Fire Bird Pheonix and the diamond of the Wind Master Griffon," Yusei finished
"We found out about a legend of the Royal Dragon Ragnarok which actually speaks about the families but we haven't been able to get hold of the story, Officer Trudge is doing his best to retrieve it,"
"That explains why he's not here," Crow said, "Anyway do you have the slightest idea of why though they do this?"
"From what we've learned each family protected a gem alongside the monster of that gem against an evil force, the five monsters combined called the Royal Dragon Ragnarok who sealed this evil,"
"And of course the key are the gems," Carly spoke
'Maybe I can use this situation to my advantage,'
"Yes, the evil being was sealed somewhere, we have yet to figure out where, and the only way to open his prison are the gems which were protected by the families but something happened that forced the gems to be scattered around the world it's a surprise that two of them were here in Neo Domino city,"
"Actually three of them, the emerald is in the possession of a gang of criminals known as the Neo Demons. They hide behind their company a bank and make millions with good people's money," Sherry told them.
'Bingo, I've been looking all over for it, thank you Team 5D' Carly smiled oblivious to the perplexed stare a certain someone was giving her.
"So the thief wants to collect the gems?" Luna asked.
"Yeah but why all of them, were the other families?" Crow questioned.
"Well its best to snatch the emerald before she does lest she be one of the bad guys," Mina said.
'Hey, this is my job why am I being turned to a bad guy, okay I steal but I never did it for personal gain…I have to keep fit in some way,' Carly thought pouting.
"She doesn't seem like a bad person to me, I mean she didn't hurt anyone ever," Akiza defended her making Carly grin broadly; she really was a good friend.
"Her family are a group of thieves they stole many historical and valuable objects," Mina retorted.
"Akiza is right; they never found any trace of the stolen goods meaning they never sold them which makes us conclude…" Yusei began smiling at Akiza.
"That they merely love the thrill of a good steal gives them," Sherry finished siding with the the two who gave her questioning looks, "I want to duel her, from what she told us and her actions when we met her she seems a good person,"
"She wanted to stop the false thief," Leo said.
"She just seems so sad," Luna continued.
"Whatever the reason she can't continue stealing what is not hers," Jack started looking stern, "However she is battling for the safety of humanity if the legend is true and until she is proven guilty we can assume she is a nice person,"
Carly felt weirdly happy by their words, they thought she was a good person and she felt a pang of guilt in her heart for using them.
"So for now that's what we know when Trudge returns with the legend I'll call you," Mina said, "I suggest we go for lunch,"
"And I suggest you go to bed Carly," Akiza said, "Jack will walk you…"
Before she could finish Jack had already vanished. The rest agreed to go to lunch together and where deciding which restaurant to pick. Akiza looked at her friend who was yawning widely a hand over her mouth; clearly it was impossible to get home alone for the ex-dark signer.
"I guess I'll take you home," Akiza sighed.
"No it's…"
As her vision blurred Carly as Akiza had playfully taken her glasses before she could react.
"No excuses besides how will you ever get home with that vision of yours," the red haired girl teased her.
FLASHBACK
"Give them back," the teenager cried, "Come ON Alex,"
"Hahahaha not until you agree, just say yes Carly" the girl called Alex who looked identically to Carly said smirking at her sister who was waving her arms in front of her trying not to bump into anything.
"I don't want to go," Carly said crossing her arms and not moving.
"It's just a ball, we'll have fun, I can't go if you don't come it would be boring," Alex replied.
"But…"
"No buts besides how will you ever get home with that vision of yours," the twin laughed.
Carly sighed looking toward the blurred figure of her twin sister, sometimes she was so damn childish and she was the older of the two although Carly always doubted that fact.
"Come on I'll be there to protect you little sister," Alex said persuasively swinging her arm around her sister's shoulder.
"Fine, now can I have my glasses back, waaah what…?" Carly exclaimed as her sister placed her arm behind her knees as started carrying her.
Carly wound her arms around her sister's neck, "What the hell are you doing?"
"I, ahem, kind of…ahem…lost them so we'll get home quicker, you know, the less times you trip,"
The two sisters stared at each other for some time before bursting wholeheartedly into a fit of laughter.
END FLASHBACK
Carly chuckled at the memory and took Akiza's hand as she led her home.
"Fine but give me my glasses back," She agreed.
"Oh ummm yeah I kind of, ahem, they slipped from my hand and well broke so haha sorry,"
Carly sighed and let the ex-Black Rose literally lead her home.
Jack walked on and on trying to clear his mind. That kiss had been so unexpected but yet he had liked it and the feeling of familiarity it gave him, he couldn't understand it.
He knew what his feelings for a certain bespectacled girl were and now he felt confused by his attraction to the thief, as he walked in the streets of Neo Domino city he resolved to find out who she was and what the two girls meant to him.
Carly woke up the next morning feeling energized.
"I needed a good night sleep," She stretched feeling her muscles and ready to face a new day.
And then it hit her, "OH SHIT,"
She ran to her kitchen and she saw the figure she dreaded standing with arms crossed holding her poncho.
The day before she had gone eating with Akiza, The young duelist had helped her walk around and order and stuff and they had passed the rest of the day together talking about their boys and girl stuff. They had bonded and became like sisters which made Carly excited and thrilled, for the first time it wasn't on a job. It was the first time she had made such a good friend and she was delighted. The problem was that she had started feeling dizzy partly because of the sleepless nights she had endured the past months and partly because she had no glasses. She had a close to blindness condition which gave her a massive headache by the end of the day and she had no recollection whatsoever about how she got home. Carly did remember however the disaster her room was in and a particular poncho which she had so stupidly left on her bed.
"I think you should start explaining," Akiza said looking very serious
"SHIT," was about all Carly could say.
