Thanks to all who reviewed last chapter! Appreciate it!
Chapter 2 the decision
The morning sun had risen and Yusei was looking through his deck when his door bell rang repeatedly.
"Yusei! It's us!" As he walked over to the door he saw two young children with ponytails and duel disks on their arms.
"Hey Leo. Hey Luna." He greeted them happily.
"Hey Yusei! How are you?" Luna asked happily back.
"I'm good. You guys are early, I said to come at noon."
"Sorry about that Yusei. Leo wanted to see u as soon as he was up." Luna apologized sitting on the couch.
"It's ok you two. I was checking out my deck to change it up anyway." Yusei chuckled grabbing a drink a water.
"Great. I ain't losing this time Yusei!" Leo announced sitting with Luna.
"Well no offence Leo. But didn't you say that last time?" Yusei asked laughing slightly.
"Yeah I know. But this time will be different. I got some new cards and have a whole new strategy that will win it for me." He said pointing to Yusei.
"You know Leo, a true duellist never reveals his secrets before a duel." Yusei bluntly pointed out. Leo blushed as Luna laughed on the couch which made Leo pout.
"Very funny Luna. You haven't changed your deck at all!" He shouted turning his attention to Luna.
"Because my deck fits me and it's special to me. I have no intention of changing it."
"That's good Luna." Yusei smiled. "If you believe in your deck that much then you will be just fine regardless if you win or lose." He then got up to get the twins some water and handed them each a glass.
"Thanks Yusei." Luna thanked him and took her glass.
"Your welcome." He smiled.
"So Yusei, can we ask you something?" Asked Luna.
"Yeah sure, go ahead." He answered sitting beside her.
"Do you know anything about a place called The Arcadia Movement?" Yusei jumped for a quick second. A flash of yesterday came through his mind. The thought of Akiza and Sawyer burst from his head.
"Why do you ask?" He asked sternly.
"Well I have gotten numerous letters from them asking me to join them. They keep on stating that I would be better off living there instead of being around all these normal people as they put it. She told Yusei calmly."
"Why did they ask you? Did they ask Leo too?"He asked turning to Leo.
"No they didn't! Leo shouted angrily. "They just want my sister for her mark that's all!"
"LEO!" She screamed as he covered his mouth.
'Mark?' Yusei thought . "What mark are you talking about? Yusei asked turning serious.
"I have had this mark that looks like a claw on my arm since I was very young." She sighed rolling up her right sleeve. She showed him a dragon like claw that glowed red like his and the young ladies mark that he saw.
"I don't believe it." Yusei said looking stunned. He had now found another mark that he has known for months now.
"So did they bring up your mark at all?" Yusei asked calmly.
"No."
"Then how do you know that's what they are after?" Yusei asked again nicely while now with a confused look.
"Because it seems that they did research on us and they found something about my sister that shows that she is special." Leo pouted.
"I see. I'm not going to ask why your special but I do know that you guys should be careful." He warned in still a serious tone.
"Why is that?" Leo asked.
"Because yesterday when I was walking through downtown I bumped into this woman being harassed by security. She had the same mark on her arm that you do Luna and they were trying to take her by force because of it."
"NO way!" Luna freaked out covering her mouth.
"Those punks!" Leo fumed angrily.
"Calm down you two." He waved is hands to settle them down. "I jumped in and helped her get away from them. When we got away she told me that she was from the Arcadia Movement and that is where she lived."
"Wow. That's weird." Luna commented.
"I know it sounds weird, but it is the truth."
"We believe you Yusei." The twins smiled.
'So they are also after Luna as well? Both Security and this Movement seem to be interested in these marks. Could it be they are keeping Akiza there just for her mark?' He thought.
"Luna, Leo, can you both do something for me? Yusei asked.
"Sure Yusei. What do you need? Asked Leo back.
"This is hard for me to ask but I want u too to go to the Arcadia Movement and find a girl named Akiza. It seems she also has a mark of a dragon on her arm just like u and me."
"U too Yusei?" Leo asked bewildered. Yusei lifted his sleeve to show a dragon's tail on his arm.
"I don't believe it. YOU have the same mark?" Asked Luna.
"Yes and I felt a great surge when I was near that girl yesterday from my arm. I think that these marks are connected somehow. I want to meet this girl again and find out what I can." He said with a determined look.
"I understand but I really don't want to go there." Luna turned away from Yusei still sitting down now shaking a bit.
"Luna…" Yusei sighed. Yusei then got up close to her and put his arm around her.
"I know and I'm sorry to ask this. But we need to find out what that place is and we need to find out about these marks we have been given."
"It's ok Luna, I'll always protect u!" Shouted Leo. Luna slightly cracked a smile. She knew her brother meant what she said. But she was still worried about what was to come.
"But why? Why can't people just leave those who are special alone? It's not like we asked for these marks or anything!" She screamed softly while starting to tear up.
"I agree with you completely on that Luna. That's exactly why I want to know as much as I can about them."
"Alright. I'll do what I can. I will go check it out." Luna sighed standing up.
"If anything happens or if you don't come back soon, I'll head over there and deal with them." Yusei promised.
"Alright! Let's go Luna! Don't worry Yusei, we will be fine." Leo said giving Yusei the thumbs up.
"Ok." Said Yusei laughing. "But be careful. You don't know what or who is in there."
"We know! But don't worry. I promise as a big brother to protect that which is special to me." Leo announced looking right at Luna with a goofy yet determined smile. 'Leo…Thank you.' Luna thought to herself smiling on the inside and out. Hearing all this from Yusei and Leo filled her with new found strength and courage. She then put on a big smile and turned to Yusei.
"Thanks Yusei. I will do my best to help u and find my answers!" She declared happily.
"Good!" He smiled. As they left Yusei grabbed his deck and got his duel runner and began to drive off.
'I know I said all those things to the twins and I also know I might regret this but I'm going to need help to deal with the Arcadia Movement. I'll go and see if I can Crow or Jack and see what they know about the Movement.' He thought to himself. As he drove for about ten minutes he found Crow sitting outside a diner eating a hamburger and drinking some tea. He slowed down and called out to get his attention.
"Hey Crow!" He yelled. Crow turned with his mouth full to see Yusei walking up to him. He swallowed his burger and ran up to him.
"Yo Yusei! So what's up?" Crow asked patting his friends shoulder.
"Nothing really. Well actually, I need your help with something Crow." Yusei said sitting down in a chair at the same table as Crow.
"Wow must be big to ask me." Crow joked while sipping some tea.
"Crow, It sounds like you think I wouldn't come to you unless I needed something period."
"Relax Yusei. I was just having fun. So is it a big deal?"
"It is. I want to know if you know anything about a group called The Arcadia Movement?"
"Hmm. Well I know that they are gathering psychic duellists and special gifted kids from around the world. They keep to themselves and don't really mingle with the outside world."
"Really? So do you know anyone there?"
"No I don't know anyone personally that I can think of. I am afraid that I can't give you much more than that."
"Alright. I was just asking." Yusei sighed.
"Yeah I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. Did you try asking Jack?" Crow said finishing his tea.
"No actually. I was going to try him next to be honest."
"Hey, let me ask you something." Crow said taking another bite from his burger.
"What is it Crow?" Crow then swallowed what was in his mouth and asked the question.
"Why are you so interested in the Arcadia Movement? What's up with it that you who normally tries to be neutral is asking about it?" Crow asked directly. Yusei thought about how to answer that question. He knew that if Crow found out it was because of Akiza he would never leave Yusei alone.
"There are two young children that I know and one was asked to go and live there. But she doesn't want to be separated from her brother and it seems thy want her alone." Yusei answered more or less the truth.
"Oh I see. So your just concerned about these kids. You always did have a soft spot for kids." Crow smiled.
"And you don't? Remember how you watched over the orphans with Martha when we were younger?" Yusei asked recalling the past.
"That's true." Crow laughed.
"Can you come with me? I could probably use your help."
"I would, but I have to get to my job now. It's a pain because I would love to help you trust me. But I have to keep this job, so I'll be seeing u buddy!" Crow got up with a big smile.
"Yeah ok. Thanks anyway for listening Crow. You're a good friend." Yusei smiled giving Crow a fist pound before heading back to his runner.
"No problem. I hope you can get whatever you need done." Crow then got on his runner and drove off.
'So they are gathering powerful people and keeping them locked in their own little world. They have that Akiza girl there and they want Luna as well? I won't allow it!' He thought leaving the café on his runner and headed back to the garage. Little did Yusei know that across town at the Arcadia Movement Leo and Luna were meeting with the leader or the group Sawyer. They were lead into a massive dining hall where Sawyer was waiting for them both with a gentle yet sadistic smile.
"So you have decided to join us then young lady?" He asked offering the twins a seat.
"I will join only if my brother comes with me." Luna said with a firm voice sitting down with Leo beside her. Sawyer then tried to hide a annoyed look that crossed his face.
"I am sure you know that you have a special power that we can show and teach you how to use over time here. If your brother who has no power whatsoever stays as well he will just be a distraction for you." He stated calmly.
"Distraction?" Leo bellowed jumping out of his chair. "I am NOT a distraction! I am her brother and I know for a fact that there is no way she is staying with people like you!" He yelled pointing right in Sawyer's face.
"Calm down boy." Sawyer glared. "You may not like it but the truth is you don't possess anything special nor can you do anything by yourself. If you are going to continue to be a hassle like this I will be forced to remove you." He explained with a evil smirk across his face.
"I'm not going anywhere." Leo stated more calmly yet just as serious.
"Sorry Sawyer. But this place isn't right for me at all." Luna said sincerely trying to keep herself calm.
"I have a feeling that you would change your mind once you actually see for yourself."
"I do have one question for you though." She brought up.
"Oh, what is that?" Sawyer asked leaning back in his chair.
"Is it true that there is a woman named Akiza who lives here?" Sawyer's eyes finally flew open. 'How does she know that? Akiza should have never spoken to anyone outside of the movement. Wait, could it have been…?'
"Who or where did you hear that from?" He asked trying to keep his composure.
"A friend of ours. He asked us to check on that for him and I can tell that it is true." She stared at him with convincing eyes.
"Well I'm not sure how you know that but she does not concern you." He said sighing.
"Your wrong! She-" Leo started before being cut off by Sawyer.
"Enough!" He glared furiously at Leo. Leo froze at the feel of the aura coming from Sawyer. He felt something like pure anger and malice emanating from him. Sawyer quickly calmed down and turned back to Luna
"If that is what u want then how about we duel for it then?" He asked her directly.
"Duel?" The twins said together.
"Yes I will duel you Luna. If I win your brother can't stay and you must stay no matter what. If I lose then he and u can do whatever u want."
"Forget it!" Leo shouted. "I'll never put my sister through that! I will face you with the same conditions!"
"Leo! I won't let you do that!" Luna screamed back at him.
"This ain't your concern boy. Haven't you interfered enough?" Sawyer spoke with a annoyed tone.
"I think that your just scared of losing to a kid." He smirked.
"Alright then. If that's how you want it then follow me, however the sister stays here." Sawyer said getting up and walking away.
"Leo, please don't do this." Luna cried holding his sleeve.
"I have to. I promise that I'll protect you as your big brother." He declared smiling which made her smile back.
"But Leo…I'm scared." She spoke softly started to tear up.
"I promise I'll be fine. You just watch me!' He said proudly.
"Alright then. Just be careful." She warned as she watched him go after Sawyer. Once they had left a familiar face came into the room and walked up to Luna.
"You want to watch the duel?" Asked the stranger behind her. She turned around and saw Akiza standing over her.
"Yes. I have to be with my brother." She said with her eyes tearing up.
"Then come with me." Akiza turned to the door. They left the room and walked up to an upper level in the building to a wall that opened like a window to reveal a duel stadium beneath it. Sawyer and Leo were already there.
"You ready child?" Sawyer asked activating his disk.
"Of course." Leo said doing the same.
"I warn you that I won't go easy on you child."
"I'll show u what this child can do!"
"Very well. But like I said it won't be easy."
