Sorry for the wait! Here's a new chappie! Sorry it's short. I got brain-dead in the middle, and lost all the good ideas I had. Enjoy anyway!
Both duelists were stunned to see HIM alive. Didn't Yusei say that they killed him? That didn't matter now. What mattered was letting everyone know and getting the police involved.
"This... This can't be..!" Jack struggled to say. "Yusei killed him! How's he even here?"
'I-I don't care at the moment! I'll go let Crow and the others know! You stay here!" Aki said, rushing out of the room, leaving Jack alone and speechless. He growled and sat back down. What was there to do now besides sit here and wait for the others.
" ...Jack...Atlas..."
Jack didn't respond.
"Please... can you hear me...?"
'Great, my mind is playing tricks on me... I'm losing it...' Jack thought. He still didn't respond.
"...LISTEN TO ME YOU LITTLE-!"
"WHAT?" Jack snarled. He looked around for the person that voice belonged to. No one else was in the room but him. Great. Now he was going crazy.
"...Go to the garage... Or else..."
"Or else what?"
"Look at that vase on the table there... Isn't it lovely...?"
Jack looked at the closet table. A blue vase with beautiful floral patterns sat there. "Yeah, so?"
"Take a good and long look..."
Jack looked at it and blinked.
He blinked again.
And again.
Then, the vase suddenly flung itself towards him. He ducked at it crashed against the wall, sending shards everywhere.
"WHAT THE HELL?"
"That's what I mean by 'or else'. Next time it won't be that vase. And you won't be hitting the wall more or less hitting the ground below. At 200 miles per hour."
"How are you even able to do that?"
"Go to the garage, and you'll find out."
"And what if I don't?"
"JUST DO IT!"
Jack winced and decided to humor whoever it was. "Whatever." He got up and left, but not without muttering "Damn voices... I must be losing it..."
He ducked again, as if on instinct. And as he suspected, another vase had flung itself at him, this time hitting the hallway wall. He hastily left the room, not wanting to anger whoever it was...
The garage was empty, as usual. Yusei's D-Wheel was still on it's side, no one bothering to put it back in its original position. Aki stood there and closed her phone the minute Jack entered.
"I thought you were going to get everyone else?" Jack asked. Aki turned around.
"I thought I told you to stay where you were?" Aki countered.
"I would have, except a vase magically flung itself at me, and the voices in my freaking head told me to come here!" Jack responded. Aki blinked.
"I... Don't think that's possible."
"Just drop it... I'm already about to blow my top."
Aki didn't complain. "I was about to leave, but Crow called. I told him about our find. He should be here any minute with the twins."
"Good. Maybe he can help us out." Jack responded. Both stood there, neither one wanting to say a word.
The temperature then took a major plunge, makng Aki suddenly shiver.
"Did it just get colder in here?" she said. Jack didn't respond. She sighed and sat on the steps, him the same. "Crow better hurry..."
"...Are you the one they call 'Aki Izayoi'..?"
Aki and Jack shot up. "Who's there? I demand you come out this instant!" Jack yelled.
"Jack, why are you yelling?" Aki asked. Jack turned to her with a glare in his eyes.
"COME OUT!" he snarled. Aki cocked her head in confusion.
"Jack what are you talking about?" She wouldn't get a answer, as the voice spoke again.
"Do not be afriad. I am a friend, not a foe. I wish to assist you both in the search for you're friend." the voice said calmly. "I fear for his safety as well... But from what I saw... He's not doing too well..."
Before they could say a word, a black spectral figure arose from Yusei's D-Wheel. White eyes opened up, and large bird-like wings flicked black colred energy onto the ground. Their first instinct was to scream, but the specter extended out a hand.
"I wish not to hurt you... I just want to help..." It stated, it's voice full of despair and sorrow. Jack kept a sharp slare at it, but Aki simply put her hand on the specter's.
"Aki, what are you doing? We can't trust this thing!" Jack snapped.
"Jack... What other choice do we have? We've tried everything! And I'm really desperate to find Yusei..." she responded. He looked at her, then back at the specter. The specter's eyes were focused on something, but he couldn't tell what. He sighed and dropped his glare.
"Fine. You better be of use to us."
Aki smiled and glanced at the specter. "What do you know? Anything would help!"
The specter seemed to smile a bit, backed away and pointed outside the garage. What he said next almost made Aki scream and Jack to freak out.
"I know where Yusei Fudo is."
"Enjoy what alone time you'll be getting, my dear Yusei. I have to run a few errands."
His last words before leaving him alone on that bed as usual. It didn't matter to him anyway. It just gave him more time to think up what he would do to him next.
Paradox sat there, reading a book he had brought with him from his time. He had already read it a few times, but he still enjoyed the plot. He did have to run some errands, but he wanted to finish the chapter he was on. Sometimes he hated himself for his OCD for finishing what he started.
He chuckled as he closed the book, setting it on the table next to him. "Yuka, if only you were still alive today..." he said to no one. A small crunch was heard. He looked under the book and saw a note.
'Huh... It has Rift's signature...' he picked it up, unfolded it, and read the contents.
You may think this is the best way to save us all, but you've actually created something that could very well be the opposite of your goal. Since you went through with it, I will never be on your side. Don't bother looking for me. You won't find me.
You've betrayed me, Paradox. You've betrayed your bloodline, your friends, Isis, everyone. And I will retaliate in the only way I know possible.
Paradox's eyes widened as he read the final part of the note.
"Rift... You... you son of a... you can't ... you won't...GRAGH!"
He dropped the note and ran out of there as fast as he could. The note fell to the ground, and at the very bottom, was the very sentence that forced him to leave earlier than he expected...
I am bringing the friends of Yusei Fudo to him. And you can't stop me.
-Rift
"WHY DID YOU SAY THIS TO ME BEFORE YOU THREW THAT VASE AT ME?"
"JACK!"
Jack snarled, but backed away from the specter. The specter floated there, unmoved by Jack's outburst. "I know you both have a lot of questions, but you must save him! He's... urk..." The specter seemed to have trouble saying the last part.
"Is Yusei ok? Please say that he is!" Aki said, grabbing the specter's hands. The specter looked at Aki with concern. It sighed.
"He's... not in the best shape... but he is alive... for now..." it replied. "You have to find him quickly... I fear that he might... might..."
The specter seemed really troubled, Jack grabbed it its throat. "Say it, NOW!"
"...die... internal... bleeding..." it choked out.
Aki's eyes widened. "Jack! Put it down! NOW!" she screamed. Jack glared at her, then sighed, letting the specter go. It coughed a bit, then started speaking again.
"As I was trying to say, he has internal injuries that caused some internal bleeding. You have to get to him fast! Or else... well... you get what I'm saying."
"..." Aki was speechless. Jack took one glance at her and knew why nothing came out of her mouth. He looked at the specter, who again, seemed to be staring at something. But this time, it was staring at the distance.
"If we are to trust you with this, at least tell us your name." Jack said, snapping the specter out of its trance. It's white eyes glared at Jack with disbelief. Jack himself kept a steady glare at the creature, who let out a sigh.
"If you must now, my name is Rift." it replied. "That's ALL you need to know. If I say anything else, it could be disaterous. Now, shall I guide you to the one called Yusei?"
Jack didn't respond, and got onto the Wheel Of Fortune. Aki ran up to him. "Call me so I can let Crow know where you're at. I'll meet up with you once you find Yusei. I'll get the twins." Jack nodded. Rift appeared next to him and hovered in front of his D-Wheel.
"Listen to where I tell you to go. Or else we'll be caught. Yusei's captor is looking for us." Rift ordered.
Both D-Wheels were started up, and Rift dove into the ground, becoming a shadow. "Alright, follow me!" It started to move, and the two duelists then sped off after Rift.
'We're coming, Yusei!'
'I hope you're ok...'
