*New Domino City, Japan, Yusei's Garage*
Marc Came in through the open door of the garage hoping Laura would be there.
Marc: Hello? Laura? Anyone here?
Marc Noticed Holes all over the Garage and Yusei, Jack, Leo and Luna out on the ground as if they were attacked. They were just getting up. Marc Actually helped them to their feet.
Marc: Hey What happened here? Where's Laura?
Jack: You Marc?…gah!…it hurts.
Yusei: Raza came and took her…
Luna: His chains…they burned, it was painful.
Marc: Where'd they take her?
Jack: We can probably check the street where I first found her. She was running then, so they would probably be there.
Marc clenched his fist, but then opened it to see Laura's ring in his palm, just so it can straighten his resolve.
Marc: I'll see if I can contact the rest of my friends. If we find this place, we need to be prepared.
*San Francisco, California, USA, Grand Land Hotel 7:29 PM LST*
Sam was walking in the hallway of the hotel and he passed by Ali's room, which was open a crack. He could hear voices from the room.
Krystal: So when Laura gets back, we gotta decide on matching dresses! Since we're gonna be bridesmaids, they'll have to be ugly so they don't take attention from the bride!
Ali: Yeah, sure…
Krystal: Oh, and when she throws the bouquet, I don't care if you are my friend, I will bite your hand off!
Ali: Yeah, go ahead…
Krystal: *sighs* What is up with you? You seem so out of it.
Ali: I just got a lot on my mind.
Krystal: Okay, now that you've said you've got a lot on your mind, you gotta talk about it.
Ali: Ugh, I just can't. I just feel so sick about it.
Ali then laid back on her bed and put her face in a pillow.
Krystal: Hmm… You're out of it… You feel sick and you're covering your face with a pillow. You did something you're ashamed of! Now let's see… I don't think you did drugs. But by the way your voice whined a little bit, you probably kissed someone but you're embarrassed about it.
Ali then removed the pillow from her face and gave Krystal a blank stare.
Ali: How did you know that?
Krystal: I didn't, I was just B. ya! You mean it's true? !
Ali sighed and looked down.
Ali: I don't understand why this is still bothering me. It didn't mean anything and it was an accident.
Krystal: Aw, maybe you're in love.
Ali: -_- I highly doubt I have feelings for Colin.
Krystal: O.O You kissed him?
Outside, Sam leaned against the wall and fell to the ground.
Sam: *thinks: She kissed Colin? ! I'm gonna kill him!*
Sam then left and left the girls to their conversation.
Ali: Say it loud enough so the whole building hears you!
Krystal: Does Rita know?
Ali: Good Lord, no! Could you just imagine how she'd react?
Krystal: Well, what if she finds out that you've also kept this a secret from her? That's even worse.
Ali: I just- I don't know! It's just all confusing!
Krystal: And what if Sam finds out? It would break his little heart.
Ali was silent and just sighed.
Meanwhile, Sam made his way back to his room, which he shared with Colin, Derek and Chris. Chris was doing something with his laptop while Colin was hovering over him.
Chris: -so I looked up some information on that Raza guy, and get this! He's a card-carrying member of the Society of Light! Look here! There's a picture of him shaking hands with their leader Sartorius!
Colin: The Society of Light? Didn't that happen some decades ago?
Chris: Well yeah, but look at Raza! He hasn't aged since then apparently!
Derek: Maybe the Umbras have a Fountain of Youth hidden away somewhere.
Colin: Yeah, if only, right Sam?
Sam: Screw you, dipshit!
There was a silence in the room as everyone looked at Sam and Sam just sat on the bed and turned on the TV.
Colin: Okay, Sam, what did I do to deserve that insult… this time?
Sam: You wanna know, you son of a bitch? ! I over heard Krystal and Ali talking and you kissed Ali!
Derek and Chris both gasped in shock and Colin just looked stunned that Sam knew that.
Chris: You cheated on your girlfriend? ! My best friend! T_T I'm so proud!
Derek: Dude, not cool!
Colin: Oh, come on! I'm not cheating on Rita, guys! It was a freakin' accident!
Sam: Oh yeah, well Ali doesn't think so! She's now in love with you, you son of a bitch!
Colin: O.O WWHHAAT? !
Chris: Yeah, nail that French lollipop!
Derek then pushes Chris aside into a wall.
Derek: Colin, you need to talk to that girl!
Colin: Yeah, yeah, I'll talk to her. And you guys say nothing to Rita! Understood?
Colin then walked out of his room and made his way toward Ali's room. The door was closed now so he had to knock first.
Colin: Ali, you in there?
There was no response, so Colin open the apparently unlocked door and as soon as he walked in, Ali came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. Then she blushed and was frozen for a moment and then ran back into the bathroom.
Colin: *blushing* Oh, geez, I'm sorry, y-y-your door was just unlocked, I-
Ali: Geez, Colin! What are you doing here? !
Ali had quickly put on her silky white nightgown, her hair let down and she looked angry.
Colin: Um, why did I come here? Oh, right, Sam overheard you and Krystal talking.
Ali's face quickly changed from an angry red to a melancholy blue. She then sat down on her bed.
Ali: Oh geez… So he knows then?
Colin: Yeah, he's pretty upset about it. He's saying you're in love with me and stuff.
Ali: Oh, yuck! Please, I can do so much better than you! Krystal just made the assumption. There's no way in hell I'd ever fall for you!
Colin: … Ouch! Don't be afraid to hold back any punches!
Ali: I'm sorry, this whole thing has just been so stupid. We made a huge thing out of nothing.
Colin: Yeah, you're right.
Meanwhile, back at Colin's room, Rita knocked on the door, opened it and walked in.
Rita: Hey guys-
Chris: COLIN AIN'T DOING NOTHING! ! !
Rita: … Where's Colin?
Sam: He went off to see his other girlfriend.
Derek: Sam!
Rita: What the hell is he talking about?
Sam: Oh, you didn't know?
Chris: Of course she didn't, Colin told us to keep it a secret from her.
Derek: I'm surrounded by two idiots.
Rita: WHAT the HELL are you talking about? !
Sam: Apparently, Colin and Ali have been having some romantic rendezvous as of late.
Rita: Again, I say WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? !
Derek: Sam's over exaggerating! From what I understand, it was just an innocent kiss. Nothing to get worked up about.
Sam: Yeah right! Who knows what else is going on! They've probably been seeing each other since-
Rita: No! Colin is not like that. He would never cheat on me.
Sam: Go ask him yourself! He went to go see her!
Without another word, Rita walked out of the room. Then Derek smacked Sam in the back of the head.
Derek: What the hell is wrong with you? ! You are completely over exaggerating this situation!
Sam: Well, he lied to everyone about what happened! Who knows what else he's been lying about!
Derek: Colin knew you liked that girl! He would never try to take her away from you! Remember that girl who lived on our street when you were kids?
Sam: Not really.
Derek: You had that huge crush on her!
Sam: Oh yeah, Lydia!
Derek: Yeah, but it turned out she liked Colin and he wouldn't go near her because he knew you liked her!
Sam: … He did?
Derek: Yes he did, you dumbass!
Derek then smacked Sam in the back of the head and Sam felt bad now.
Meanwhile, back in Ali's room…
Ali: I'll talk to Sam first thing in the morning, okay?
Colin: Yeah, and I should probably come clean with Rita.
Ali: A little late for that, isn't it?
Colin: Better than keeping it locked up any longer.
Ali: I'm sorry about all this.
Colin: Hey, don't worry about it. So, two friends kiss in an accident. I'm sure it's not the first time it's ever happened.
Ali chuckled a bit and smiled. She then hugged Colin and as soon as she hugged him, the door to the room opened and Rita was right there and saw them in a hugging embrace.
Rita: … What's going on here?
Stunned, Colin's eyes kept shifting between Ali and Rita.
Colin: … A friendly hug?
Rita: *scoffs* Yeah, right…
Rita left and closed the door behind her. Colin quickly ran for the door and opened it and he looked down both ends of the hallway. He couldn't find Rita anywhere.
Colin: Gah, Damn it!
Rita had ran fast. She ran out of the hotel and into the streets of the city with the dark sky above. She was angry to hide her sadness.
Rita: That god damn liar! I can't believe he would do that!
Raza: Believe it, sister!
Rita looked up and she saw Raza standing right in front of her. She jumped back and took a stance to defend herself.
Rita: What the hell do you want? !
Raza: I just want to chat. I mean, it must be pretty hard when somebody you trust stabs you in the back like that. Of course, if you were an Umbra, we would LITERALLY stab you in the back, but that's off topic.
Rita: Why the hell would you care? !
Raza: I don't really, but an innocent girl like you deserves to know the truth. There is no such thing as love. All it is, is pure passion you feel for a certain individual. Eventually, that passion fades and it won't be long before he finds somebody else to reignite that passion.
Rita: I refuse to believe that.
Raza: Then you refuse to accept the truth of life. The truth being that you can only rely on yourself and trust no one. You just saw the ultimate betrayal and yet you still believe in something as stupid as love.
Rita said nothing.
Raza: Doubt? You have doubt. That's all I need.
Raza then pulled out his pocket watch with its hands moving in reverse and held it up to Rita's face.
Raza: This is the Serpent's Eye. This simple watch can break the will of the strongest person. Hypnotizing a girl with doubts will be child's play.
The hands started to speed up and Rita's eyes became grey and soulless. Raza then grinned from ear to ear.
Raza: Perfect!
Colin came out through the front of the hotel building looking for Rita, then he saw Raza hypnotizing her.
Colin: Rita! You get away from her!
Raza: Whoops, time to go!
Colin ran toward him, but Raza and Rita disappeared in a burst of green flames before he could do anything.
Colin: Damn it!
