Chapter 12
FTP: it has been TOO LONG!
Kairi: Good to be back aye author-san
*SMACK*
Alex: Don't suck up to her stupid popsicle!
Kairi: Shut up rusty asshole! *proceeds to jump and fight Alex in a smoky ball of dust*
Carly: FTP OWNS NOTHING BUT PLOT!
Leo: off to the story! Thanks for your patience!
The next morning everyone was surprisingly up and about early. The twins and Sora were playing together outside pretending to be famous duel champions. It was pretty obvious Sora was trying to impress Luna. Alex and Faust were cuddling much to the disgust of Kairi and Sherry who were watching the television with the couple. Jack and Yusei were checking the motorcycles because as Carly put it a man must do manly things in this manly hour to remember how a man works.
"So…," Aki started with a raised brow towards our reportor," How did you know where the last gems where at?"
"I had a hunch," Carly shrugged continuing in her quest to fill her tummy, "Breakfast, breakfast!"
"Aww come ON!" Akiza pouted poking Carly in her sides and making her squirm.
"Ok, ok but the tickling stops," Carly giggled trying to fend of the attack unsuccessfully. Unfortunately, she wasn't a morning person and Aki won this battle.
"I remember," she told the ex-witch who frowned confused.
"Rather I remembered," she said somberly. Akiza frown changed to a look of realization and pulled Carly in a hug squeezing a little bit to tightly.
"Aki, choking!" Carly laughed dryly as her friend released her.
"So you remember dying?" Aki asked no longer able to look the journalist I the eye, "I'm so sorry |Carly Divi-"
"No don't be it was my idea," Carly shook her head.
"The diamond and the ruby had been stolen long before I got to them by Hikari's team, "Carly explained, "They hid it in a cave guarded by strong negative spirits, no one with a pure heart could enter…"
Akiza gasped realizing what the girl was coming at, "So you gave yourself up to the darkness, to retrieve the gems…?"
"I allowed Divine to kill me so I could fall, and it worked when I went to the cave I was no longer repelled and I got the gems hiding them in the room I was given as the Hummingbird," she finished.
Akiza was tearing up and Carly herself didn't notice she was crying until he embraced her. His strong arms had become her salvation. It was the thoughts and memories of the man known as the King which allowed her to survive albeit as a dark signer. Even then it was the growing feelings of the man that pushed her forward and now it was her love for him that stopped her from crumbling.
"I'm right here now," Jack said never breaking the hug. Carly shivered as his hot and passionate whisper tickled her ear.
"I know, I love you," she replied.
"I …do too," he replied moving away his face a crimson flame.
Carly wiped her tears and laughed at the sight, Jack was really shy with these kinds of emotions but this mad her smile. Akiza grinned at her with Yusei who had placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Well, I think it's about time we started discussing the plan," Carly got up, "Aki, Yusei can you go call everyone to the dining room?"
She passed by Jack giving him a quick peck on the cheek and a smirk as the master of faster grew even redder.
"It's time to roll?" he asked smiling back at her.
"It's time to kick some evil ass' yes," Carly confirmed.
It was decided then that each Fortune thief would accompany a signer to the Tower of the Dragon, the base of the enemy. Each level of the tower, it was known thanks to the group's research team a.k.a Trudge, Mina and Faust had been prepared for each fortune thief. The group thus decided to split as follows:
Level one was where Sora and Luna would face off the thunder master Kaminari.
Level two was the battle ground of Alex and Leo vs Chikyuu earth master
Level Three was a confrontation between couples Akiza and Faust together with Yusei and Kairi would take on Mizu the water mistress and Shibaru the binding master.
Last but not least was Level four the last stage were Jack, Sherry and Carly would try to stop the Leader; Hikari the light mistress. It would not be easy especially as they would have to abide by the rules of the tower which clearly set them at a huge disadvantage. Jack however was determined and this gave the rest of the team courage.
"We faced the dark signers and won, this will be nothing compared!" Jack reminded them, "And you fortune thieves know the enemies well enough to catch them off guard! We must trust in our resilient bond!"
"GOOO TEAM 5D'S!" they roared
