YuGiOh 5D's: Kazuki Takahashi/Konami
Beta: Yami Zelgadis
CFGX: "Okay, here's the next chapter. Make sure everyone gives me as much feedback as they could if they want to, so I could know how I can improve on it! Don't forget to Read and Review! And don't forget to look into my canon story, Stardust Accelerator: The Amazon Isles!"
Another dawn came to Satellite. But no one could tell with this veil of shadow blanketing the entire island, blocking the sun's rays. The children were sure to be still asleep; all but one.
A little girl sat on her bed, her delicate green eyes looking through the window next to her, looking across the quiet darkness as far as they could see. It was about a couple of hours since the Signers went to activate the five control-units, but only moments since Katherine had woken up to find Jason had already gone. Right now her knight-in-shining-armor is out fighting for his life and all she could think about is whether or not he would come back with Gabriella in tow...
"You can't sleep either?" Katherine's heart skipped a beat as her head snapped to the source of the voice. Standing beside the bedroom door was Rico, clutching his two-tailed stuffed wolf.
"It's nothing," she replied flatly, before looking back to the window. She soon felt a quiver under her when Rico jumped onto the bed beside her.
"Are you still thinking about Jason?" he asked, but Katherine remained quiet, "Umm, if it make you feel any better, I'm still worried about Big-Sis Akiza when she left earlier with the others. But I know she's gonna come back, because she's a big girl. She can take care of herself."
"Well, I can't help it!" Katherine snapped, "I just want Jason and Gabe to come back NOW!" she gasped when she realized the tone of her voice and quickly turned to the bronze-haired boy. "Oh, i'm so sorry! I didn't mean to yell!"
"It's okay..." Rico said, "I feel the same way you do. I miss Akiza; and I know you miss Jason too."
"I just wish I can help. If only there was something I coud do."
"...Maybe there is."
"Huh?"
YuGiOh: 5D's
Reverse of Arcadia
Ride 31: The Hero Express
Meanwhile...
A cool wind blew around the Satellite. The now war-torn battlefield was quiet for a chance. Especially in the depths of what was once a place full of joy and wonder to the children of the old city. Now rusted and destroyed, the carnival grounds was all but deserted minus the presence of two people...
In a darkened room in the hall of mirrors, sat Misty, who was going through a mix of emotions whilst all the while deciding what her next move would be. Misty gloomily looked back at the pendent she carried around her neck, a present given to her now deceased brother. Inside was a picture of his smiling face, the last memory she really had of him, on that day something that she wished she could see again. "Soon Toby. I promise you, I will make that witch burn for everything she has done. Just wait a little bit longer." She said through torn tears, it was the sole reason she was here after all to make that witch burn.
"Misty, are you in here?" A mature muscling voice came from the door as it slowly opened revealing Kai Fox, he had a hunch Misty would be here. After all, it was where her generator was. Plus he had known Misty wouldn't stop grieving over her brother. Then again, it was a pain that he himself was not fully over as well, hence they both shared a common ground and a common enemy: the Black Rose.
"Spying on me again, Kai? Well you needn't bother. I'm fine; And I'm pretty sure I can handle things when 'she' comes here so you needed be worried about me."Misty replied, oddly despite her mood her voice wasn't of malice and even had a slight jokey feel to it.
"Is that really the case, though?" Kai asked honestly. "I can understand what you are going through Misty. After all, I can't forgive that woman either for what she did. Plus, that whole damn organization for what they have done to us. Your brother Toby, and..." he trailed off, suddenly remembering the person he had lost to Arcadia as well.
"And Coral, the girl you looked after." Misty finished for him. "I'm aware of how it must feel for you, though isn't it ironic?" She turned her right hand into a fist, "Arcadia is nothing more of a parasite; not only to this world, but to us in genera.l They have caused more harm than even we Dark Signers have."
Kai nodded back at her. "Yes, funny that isn't it. Let's see; you lost your dear brother, I lost my precious Coral, and Carly was killed due to her petty curiosity. That other man, Carten wasn't it? He lost his only friend and hope to those monsters; and even our little Angel of Darkness was turned to one of us due to them interfering with her little family. What a tangled web those people have caused. Not only have they caused the pain of us, but now the pain of the entire world as we will engulf all in darkness."
"There is no telling that yet. Destiny is a fickle thing Kai." Misty replied as she stood up and paced the room. "But no need to worry about that, so long as the satisfaction of destroying the last of Arcadia will be more than enough for me. I will avenge my brother, and your little girl. I promise you that."
"But I wish to sink my fangs into them too, Misty! I can't forgive them! I won't!" Kai spoke back his anger was no showing through his voice. Malice, hatred, despair all ran through him, he looked like he could rip off Misty's head if he got in his way of revenge.
"Well, well. The wolf sharpens his fangs and wishes for blood, hm?" A shrill and amused laugh surrounded the room startling the two of them. "Excellent. Most excellent. But sadly for you it's not your destined fight now is it?"
"Say what?" Kai snapped back looking at the source of the voice. A petite figure appeared from the shadows, revealing none other than Gabriella. "Oh, great; the little Angel of Darkness is telling me what I can and cannot do. Well then little Miss-Know-It-All. What do I do?"
"Oh down, Wolfie, otherwise I may have to put you down." Gabriella giggled, clearly amused. "Though you are not compatible for duelling the Black Rose, I have a mission which may just quench your thirst for revenge."
Kai suddenly seemed tamer. "Is that so? Well, tell me then, what is it you have?"
"If you haven't noticed, there was a boy at the Arcadia that used to follow Akiza around like a tiny shadow. When I was at the orphanage the other night, I happened to noticed that this boy is here in Satellite right now, which just makes things perfect. Thanks to Roman, I've noticed that she's currently traveling her without him. Meaning he's at the orphanage right now with no protection whatsoever..."
"Pfft. Typical of a witch; not even considering his feelings like he did for everyone else, or the lives she screwed up with her powers." Kai interrupted in rage.
"Don't interrupt me again, Wolfie. Otherwise I will make your pain even worse." Gabriella spat back. "Anyway, as I was saying, he has no protection; and if you wish to destroy a human, or even a witch, you have to attack the heart. And so I propose this: you go out there, and finish the boy off. He may prove an annoyance, but nothing a Dark Signer can't handle. Just don't get over confident like Devack, or emotional like Mana Copperfield."
Kai had already made his way to the door. "Don't worry. I'm not like them!" He slammed the door behind him and was already setting his eyes on his next target.
Misty had been quiet through the whole of it, suddenly spoke up. "You sure seem to have everything planned ou,t don't you?" She spoke cynically. "However, what about you? What are you really going to be doing in this war, except stuttering around and playing Queen Bee?"
Gabriella smirked. "Hm... I sense a feeling of hostilely coming from you and Wolfie. Don't you worry, I've got my role all planned out. Besides, there are still those backup generations to protect. Even if David had helped activate the first, none of the others will be activated, I swear that much. Besides, we have our other backup plan; and if worse comes to worse I will stop them myself."
"Oh is that so?" Misty asked now she was smirking. "After all, aren't you connected strongly to Jason Hutchins? Isn't it just the same: you are a woman in love, but yet you are doomed to this destiny?"
"I'm not tied anymore. Besides, I will swallow his light, and we will be together in the darkness. The light will not sway me."
"Your eyes say a different tale. It claims you miss the light." Misty said still smiling. "You know if you get too close to the light, you will be scorched. Just like Mana Copperfield was."
Gabriella looked back at Misty and pouted, without even saying another word she turned on the balls of her feet and left leaving Misty alone. "You'll see, you can't hide from your true feelings." She smiled as she waited for her victim to come.
Later...
The scene changes towards the dark forest behind the orphanage, as Rico lead Katherine across the semi-thick fog.
"I don't know about this, Rico." Katherine whimpered.
"Just trust me, Kat, I'm sure about this." Rico assured. Soon, the reached a large clearing and told Katherine to stay where she stood, before walking off to the other side and turning around. "It's the only thing I know that will make you feel better. Now are you ready?"
"...Ready." Katherine activated her duel-disk and so did Rico.
Rico: 4000
Katherine: 4000 (35)
"I'll make the first move...," Rico said as he drew his sixth card, "I summon (5D's)(1) Masked Hero Platinum Bullet(3/ATK: 900/DEF: 400) in DEF mode!" as soon as he placed the monster on his disk, a warrior completely covered in black-and-silver armor appeared and kneeled. It's motif would remind them of a japanese bullet train, "Now I place one card face-down and end my turn." a reverse-card appeared.
"Okay, it's my turn..." Katherine started his turn, "I summon Neko-Cleric in DEF mode," the nekomimi priestess appeared on the field (DEF: 2000), "I activate 2 continuous-spell cards, Neko-Penalty and Playmate. And since I activated a spell this turn, Neko-Cleric gives me 300 life-points for each one."
Rico: 4000
Katherine: 4600 (34)
"I end my turn."
"It's my turn then," Rico drew his next card, "I switch Platinum Bullet to ATK mode (ATK: 900)! Then I activate the (5D's) Sands of Time spell card!" the card he activated was a continuous-spell which shows a vast land of silver sands and a rainbow-colored sky, "Whenever a Hero monster's on the field, then I can special-summon a special union-monster known as a Mystic Time Genie directly from my hand; so through Sand's of Time I summon (5D's)(2) Mystic Time Genie-Red Oni(3/ATK: 800/DEF: 800)!" strands of sand sprayed from Rico's spell card. The sand then took humanoid form, the upper half appearing as a horned demon. The upper half of its body floated above its lower half. The creature then merged it's upper and lower bodies properly as it gained a crimson color on its body-armor, over a dark-red bodysuit (ATK: 900), "And like all other union monsters, he can equip himself onto a level-4-or-lower Hero on my field. And when equipped, that monster gains 900 ATK points!" the silver warrior stood up and took out a small, rectangular black object. He then pressed a button on his belt and swiped the object over its buckle, causing it to glow red.
"SWORD FORM!"
Red Oni disappeared into a ball of light and entered Platinum Bullet. The sound of a train's whistle echoed as a red spade-like mask slid down and over the hero's helmet. The tip rose up before splitting down the middle, becoming a new mask while revealing the set of 'tracks' on his mask had turned gold. Six pieces of armor, four red and silver and two gold and black, spun around him. The red and silver parts attached to the shoulders and the sides of the 'tracks' on his torso as the black and gold slid onto the sides of the 'tracks' on his back (ATK: 1800), "And lastly, I'll summon another Platinum Bullet in DEF mode!" a duplicate of the silver warrior appeared before Rico ended his turn (DEF: 400).
"It's my turn," Katherine drew her next card, "I place one monster in DEF mode and end my turn." a reversed monster appeared.
"It's my turn," Rico drew his next card, "I switch my second Platinum Bullet to ATK mode (ATK: 900). Then I use the effect of Sands of Time to special-summon (5D's)(3) Mystic Time Genie-Blue Turtle(3/ATK: 700/DEF: 700)!" another sand-monster appeared, which then took the form of a blue humanoid turtle (ATK: 700), "And now I use his special ability to equip him with Platinum Bullet!" the second Platinum Bullet scanned a similar black object over his belt buckle before it glowed blue.
"ROD FORM!"
Blue Turtle infused himself into his host allowing him to gain blue armor with orange headlights on his chest. A blue 'turtle' with silver flippers rode on the tracks on his helmet before the shell opened up and the fins flipped around so that the long sharp tips faced up revealing orange lenses with an aqua hexagon on the forehead.
"Platinum Bullet number-1, attack Katherine's face-down!" the red-armored warrior leap up and landed a punch on the set monster, which was revealed as Angel's Kitty, before retreating back to his owner's field.
"Since Angel's Kitty was flipped over, I can add one Neko monster from my deck to my hand," Katherine showed her opponent Chibi Neko-Maid before adding the card to her hand, "And because that monster was destroyed, I can send one spell or trap card from my deck to the graveyard, and then draw one more card. And since Enchanted Bell Collar was sent there directly from my deck, I can add it straight to my hand," she placed the equip-spell in her hand before drawing one card, "And then, Neko Penalty's effect activates, sending the top 3 cards from my deck to the graveyard.
"Then I summon a third Platinum Bullet in DEF mode and end my turn (DEF: 400)!"
"My turn," Katherine drew her next card, "I summon Neko-Maid to the field in ATK mode!" the neko-mimi maid appeared (ATK: 1400), "I end my turn."
"Then it's my turn again!" Rico drew his next card, "I switch my third Platinum Bullet to ATK mode and use Sands of Time's effect to summon (5D's)(4) Mystic Time Genie-Golden Bear(3/ATK: 900/DEF: 900)!" the next sand monster was a golden hulking figure wearing a fur-lined vest. Its head was covered halfway with a helmet of some kind that had a horn sticking out of the forehead and a visor acted as a pair of eyes (ATK: 900), "And now I equip Golden bear onto my third Platinum Bullet!" the third hero swiped his object over his belt before it glowed yellow.
"AX FORM!"
The Golden Bear then entered the third hero before obtaining golden armor. A white axe with a yellow blade slid down Den-O's face before the blades attached to his face into a triangular visor with a black slits in them. The white handle attached itself down the center of his face to look like a large horn.
"Katherine, you're barely putting up a fight!" Rico stated, "I know you're still worried but moping around won't solve anything!"
"I can't help it!" Katherine cried, "Jason's out there and I don't know what's gonna happen to him! I want to help him but I can't! All I could do I sit around and wait!" she dropped to her knees, sobbing, "Ever since I lost to Divine I can't help but watch as Jason and Gabe fought for me! I made these cards so I could become a duelist that they can be proud of! But every time it just backfired! I don't know if I can even bother to duel anymore! I feel so useless!"
"I don't think you're useless." Katherine jerked her head up towards the brown-haired boy, "Just because you didn't win doesn't mean you're a good duelist. And that doesn't mean you're useless either. You can be helpful to the people who you want to protect."
"But how?"
"You can start by having faith! If you can't believe in Jason then that means you're not confident that Jason will come back. Jason can pull it off if there are people that believe in him." Rico made a point there. She thought worrying about Jason was the only thing she could to to prove she cared about him; but that only proved she had no faith in him. The reason the Signers made it this far is because they have people who support him. And Jason needs all the support he could get. "So what's your answer?"
Katherine stood up, wiped her tears and continued on, drawing her next card, "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Angel's Kitty from the graveyard! And since I activated a spell this turn, Neko-Cleric gives me 300 points!"
Rico: 4000
Katherine: 4900 (25)
"And now I tune her with Neko-Maid for a synchro-summon!" Neko-Maid and Angel's Kitty combined as Katherine chanted:
"Fearless hearts join to defend their acquaintances! Become the warrior to enforce the battlefield! Synchro-Summon!"
"I synchro-summon Neko-Polefighter!" Katherine's tiger-striped martial-artist appeared (ATK: 2200), "Now I equip her with the Neko Power-Pole spell card, giving her 800 ATK points!" Polefighter's staff was replace with a larger purple one (ATK: 3000), "And that also gives me 300 more points from Neko-Cleric!"
Rico: 4000
Katherine: 5200 (25)
"Neko-Polefighter, attack Platinum Bullet number one!" the tiger woman charged forward with her staff outstretched. She swung forward but was intercepted by a barrier created by Rico's face-down Waboku. "I place 1 card face-down and end my turn!" a reverse-card appeared, "I'm gonna win this duel! And then I'll have something to look forward to when Jason comes back!"
Rico smiled, "Then let's do it to it then!" he then drew his next card, "I play the spell card Pot of Greed, which lets me draw 2 more cards from my deck! Next, I use the effect of Sands of Time to special-summon (5D's)(5) Mystic Time Genie-Violet Dragon(3/ATK: 600/DEF: 600)!" the fourth time-genie had what looked like he had a large trench coat on which had designs on it. He was wearing gloves, pants, and boots. The shoulders had fins running from them as well. His head was very dragon-like. He had both fins and whiskers running along the sides with a pair of horns on top of his head. A long braid of hair ran from the back of his head while it looked almost like he had a pair of headphones (ATK: 600), "Next, I remove from play Red Oni, Blue Turtle, Golden Bear, Violent Dragon, and return Masked Hero Platinum Bullet to my deck! That way I can special-summon (5D's)(7) Masked Hero Platinum Bullet-Volt Express(7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)!" with that, all four Mystic Time Genies disappeared, in their place was a large sword. The large guard at the bottom was fitted around with the four various face-plates Platinum Bullet wore, the forth being a purple v-shaped visor with a golden emblem on top. Platinum picked up the sword and wielded it over him and then placed the black object inside the sword.
"LINER FORM!"
A loud whistle caught the attention of both duelists before a white bullet train with a red front window charged out of a portal and dove at Platinum Bullet. The machine turned transparent, allowing it to pass through him and bringing about a new change. His bodysuit turned red with black siding as red armor with yellow spots like a train's front appeared on his chest. His helmet gained a new visor which was red and had blue, yellow, and purple decorations on it. An ornament appeared on the top of his head not unlike what bullet trains used to stay on course (ATK: 2500).
"Whoa! What does that guy do?" Kat fawned.
"Each Time Genie have a special bond with Platinum Bullet! They're powerful one at a time, and very strong when together! Even when their centuries apart, they can still be formidable! And that's when Volt Express came to be! Just as each genie has a specific ability for Platinum Bullet, Volt carries four abilities in the sword he carries, one for each genie! And his first ability allows him to gain 1000 ATK points until the end-phase!" the red face-plate on Volt Express' sword glowed crimson as did the blade as the warrior gained power.
Masked Hero Platinum Bullet-Volt Express: (ATK: 3500)
"Volt Express, attack Kat's Neko Polefighter!" Rico's monster rushed in and brought his sword down on the polefighter, both their weapons clashed with sparks flying.
Rico: 4000
Katherine: 4700 (25)
"Sorry, but Neko-Polefighter can't be destroyed when she has an equip-spell on her!" Katherine smiled as she stuck her tongue out.
"Then I'll place one card face-down and switch my other two monsters to DEF mode and end my turn!" a reverse-card appeared on Rico's field and his fusion-monster lost his power-boost.
Masked Hero Platinum Bullet-Volt Express: (ATK: 2500)
"Then I guess it's my turn! Nya!" Katherine drew her next card, "I activate Burden of the Mighty! This spell card lowers the ATK of all your monsters 100 points for each level!"
Masked Hero Platinum Bullet-Volt Express: (ATK: 1800)
Masked Hero Platinum Bullet: (ATK: 600)
"And with another spell activated, I get 300 points thanks to Neko-Cleric's special-ability!"
Rico: 4000
Katherine: 5000 (24)
"Now I equip Neko-Polefighter with Neko Steel Claws!" Polefighter strapped her staff behind her back before she was equipped with a pair of clawed gauntlets, "So now, whenever she attacks a monster in DEF mode, you take piercing-damage! Now attack!"
"I activate Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!" Rico activated his reversed trap card, "So now I can negate you Polefighter's attack!"
"Nuh-uh! I activate the Quick Reflexes trap that's in my graveyard! When it's discarded directly from my deck, I can remove it from play and negate your trap's effect!" Katherine took said card out of her graveyard slot and slipped it into her pocket. The polefighter sliced apart the scarecrow before destroying Rico's defending monster.
Rico: 900
Katherine: 5000 (24)
"That's it for my turn!"
"Then I draw!" Rico started his next turn, "Just what I needed! I activate the Mask Function spell card!" as she played his card into his disk, Volt Express tapped on his helmet and various readings began to scroll down his visor, "And when this spell's activated, one of my heroes can analyze an opponent's monster so it loses its card-effect! And that means your Neko Polefighter is more easier to destroy! Next, I activate Sands of Time's second effect! By sending the card to the graveyard, I can equip a Mystic Time Genie that was removed from play to a monster on my field! That means I can summon Blue Turtle and equip him onto my Platinum Bullet!" PB scanned his belt and retained his blue armor, "Now I switch Platinum Bullet to ATK mode and activate Blue Turtle's special-ability! So once a turn, one of your monsters loses 600 ATK and DEF points!" the blue hero then revealed four train-like objects. He connected them together until it created a long rod. PB aimed the rod and fired at Neko-Polefighter, revealing a blue hexagonal seal over her chest.
Neko-Polefighter: (ATK: 2400/DEF: 1200)
"Next, I activate Volt Express' special-ability! So now your monster loses more 1000 ATK!" this time, the blue face-plate glowed on Volt Express' sword and the blade glowed blue. He then launched a blue energy blade which passed through the tigress.
Neko-Polefighter: (ATK: 1400)
"Volt Express, attack!" the multi-colored masked hero slashed at the tigress and she was destroyed into pixels.
Rico: 900
Katherine: 4600 (24)
"I activate Neko Penalty's effect and send 3 cards from my deck to the graveyard! And since Chibi Neko-Maid was among those cards, she's summoned straight to the field!" Katherine announced as the small cat-eared maid appeared (ATK: 400).
"Then I guess I end my turn!"
"It's my turn now!" Katherine drew her next card, "I equip Chibi Neko-Maid with the Enchanted Bell Collar!" the small maid was given a choker with a bell on it, "And with this card in play, she can't be destroyed in battle! Next, I activate the effect of An Angel gets its Wings and remove it from play! This trap powers up my Chibi Neko-Maid and increases her ATK points equal to the monster she attacks! So say bye-bye to your Volt Express!" Chibi Neko-Maid was then enveloped with light and grew a large pair of angel wings (2200). She formed a ball of light in her tiny paws and threw it at the swordsman. He guarded it with his sword but it only shatter on contact, as well as the monster itself.
Rico: 500
Katherine: 4600 (24)
"And after she attacks, she switches straight to DEF mode (DEF: 500). N-E-K-O! That's my turn!"
"It's my turn!" Rico drew his next card, "I de-quip Blue Turtle from Platinum Bullet and summon him back to the field!" PB released his blue armaments and the blue tortoise-man reappeared (ATK: 700), "Next, I release my Blue Turtle so I can summon the (5D's)(6) Mystic Time Genie-Necroid Anubis(6/ATK: 2200/DEF: 1100)!" the blue reptile disintegrated into a pile of sand, which then took on another humanoid form. It was now in the form of a black jackal with well-groomed black fur. It wore a golden skirt, breastplate, and various bands of gold around the elbows, wrists, fingers, knees, and ankles. The rest of the outfit was the same color as its fur. It also wore a black-and-gold face-mask that included an emerald gem in the forehead and openings that allowed braids of black hair to escape (ATK: 2200). "Next, I activate a fusion-card: the spell called (5D's) Climax Fusion!" Rico played a spell card that showed three masked warriors being absorbed into a swirling red-and-silver vortex, "I can only play it when there's a Hero monster on my field! This card can bridge into the tracks of time for any fusion-material monsters that are removed from play! Then I can bring those monsters back from the future and return them to my deck! So by returning the four Mystic Time Genies that I removed from play, and the Masked Hero Platinum Bullet on my field, I can summon a fusion-monster to the field!" Platinum Bullet pulled out a red flip cell-phone instead of his Rider Pass. The phone had sixteen numbered buttons and an additional three at the top. He pushed the bottom four before pressing the Call Button.
"MOMO! URA! KIN! RYU!" the device spoke before he pushed a button on the side, "CLIMAX FORM!"
A rail of energy shot out of the device's bottom. The rail encircled Platinum Bullet as he changed into his Red Oni armor. The phone went all around on the rails before connecting over the belt. His armor became bulkier on the torso and shoulders. Rail patterns appeared on the arms, legs, and torso, the torso taking on a red and silver emblem of a train-track connecting to a separate track. His Blue Oni mask appeared on the right arm before going up the rail to the shoulder. His Golden Bear mask appeared on his left arm and went up to the torso. His Violet Dragon then attached to his torso and flattened out. And finally, his Redo Oni mask glowed before peeling open, revealing an flaming-orange undercasing.
"What kind of monster is that?" Katherine wondered in awe, "It looked like that other Hero monster!"
"It's like I said before; Platinum Bullet has the ability to combine with any Mystic Time Genie on the field! In fact, it's the bond they share with each other that made each of them stronger. But one day when his friends suddenly disappeared, and no one was there in his time of need, his desire to bring them back allowed him to bind himself with his genie friends. That created the (5D's)(8) Masked Hero Platinum Bullet-Climax Express(9/ATK: 3500/2900)! And now, attack!" Anubis destroyed Neko Cleric, "That ends my turn."
"It's my turn, nya!" Katherine drew her next card, "I switch Chibi Neko-Maid and activate Feline Ferocity, giving my monsters 300 ATK points!"
Chibi Neko-Maid: (ATK: 700)
Rico: 500
Katherine: 4900 (23)
"Now I attack for the game!" her monster swooped in and hit Rico.
Rico: 500
Katherine: 4900 (23)
The holograms disappeared as Rico skipped over to Katherine, "Are you feeling any better?"
"Of course I am!" Katherine hopped at her feet, "That was the most fun I had all day!"
"Sure I wanna help!" Rico reached out a hand, but stopped, "Um, may I?"
"Sure!" she chirped. Rico smiled and scratched her on her scalp; and a low purr rumbled from her throat.
Watching from afar, the wolf stalks its prey. Once the wolf is ready to feast it jumps on its unsuspecting target and rips the very throat of the victim. Kai was monitoring the very movements of his prey Rico Burst and snarled a low snarl from his mouth. His anger boiled inside him. So this little brat was the person that the witch was so close to was it? After watching the duel between the two kids he couldn't help but smirk slightly.
'This is the boy I'm meant to get rid of? This shouldn't take too long,' the then set his eyes on the girl, 'And what do you know, another one. I could enjoy this even more. After all, no one said I couldn't feast on a kitten as well right?" Kai continued to smirk to himself before emerging from the trees where he hid. "I have you now, brat of the Black Rose!" As he leap towards them, the flames had already engulfed the forest. Rico, who had been completely stunned by the sudden figure emerging, had been caught in the sudden attack and was now caught in the belly of the wolf.
Kat had only just managed to react, using some quick reflexes, which matched that of a very cat, managed to successful dodge the flames and escaped the dangerous fire. "Rico!" She cried back completely terrified of what would have happened to her friend.
Kai looked around and snarled. "Damn! missed one. Oh well, never mind. I've got the main course right here. So I guess the kitten will be next after I've sorted this out." Licking his lips whilst facing the boy, Kai's savage nature caused by the darkness was finally beginning to come to surface.
"Kat get out of here! This guy means business!" Rico called back to her, just about recovering from his dazed like state. He hadn't turned to her during this time; he was already eying his attacker. Though trying to stay tough, there was a sense of fear in his eyes.
"But Rico I can't..."
"GO!"
Without another word Kat got and ran, she wanted to help but now she hadn't got much choice. She had to find some help, someone, anyone would be helpful. Though deep down she knew that no one around the area could really help. But Rico had insisted and she didn't want to just sit back and do nothing. Running she didn't know what else to do, all she could do was pray and have faith that he would come back out of this alive.
"Who are you?" Rico asked he could feel the taunting aura of his attacker. It was clear that by now he was a Dark Signer, but why was he suddenly being singled out? It wasn't like he was a Signer or even one of the important ones raging the war against them. He had been left behind, in order to be looked after. Still, he couldn't help but think there was more to it than simply being a target.
"It matters not what my name is to you. But since you asked so nicely I'll tell you before I send you to the Neatherworld." Kai smiled coldly, as he pulled back his sleeve revealing his Mark.
"My name is Kai Fox; and I bear the Mark of the Wolf."
