Chapter 96: Trip to Domino Pt. 1

(In a cave within the forest; a day after the duel between Princess Rose against Keiko and Jaden)

Deeper in the forest and inside the cave, a mysterious priestess, with long black hair, wearing a white and red kimono is performing a ritual, with candles and she says chanting, "Tempest winds and arctic swan, the time has come, so heed my call!"

Then, a whirl of wind and lightning came between her and two figures covered in cloaks appeared behind her and the first one asks, with a male Spanish accent, "What can I do for you," one said

The second figure asks, with a high male voice, "What can we do for you?"

The first figure retorts, seriously, "That's what I meant!"

The second figure says, with a sneer, "Yeah right!"

The priestess says, in an annoyed snap, "Silence! Our targets have arrived at the town of Domino as of today. So give them a warm welcome, then bring them to me."

The first figure exclaims, with a sly tone, "Yo! I'm all over it! Those punks are walking on thin ice!"

The second figure says, in a serious tone, "Chill out, Frosty! This is supposed to be a team effort!"

The priestess says, in an annoyed snarl, "Enough! This will be the toughest job, yet. From what I heard, the ones coming are no ordinary duelists. In fact, according to my brother, they may be the 'ones'."

The second figure exclaims, excitedly, "Awesome!"

The first figure exclaims, with a sly tone, "Right on!"

The priestess says, seriously while throwing two envelopes at them as they caught them, "Settle down! Take these."

The second figure asks, curiously, "What are they?"

The first figure says, "Yeah!"

The priestess says, with a sly smirk, "Should your skills proved to be too weak, sub due your opponent with these cards. Now be gone!" Soon after, the cloak figures disappeared in wind and lightning.

(At Domino Pier; At the same time)

Duel Academy cruise has finally arrived at the Domino seaport and three pairs red sneakers, one red and two yellow, a pair of blue boots, and three pairs of brown boots stepped from the boat, which belonged to Jaden Yuki, Keiko Yukimura, with BlackGatomon on her head, Tyson Granger, Daichi Sumeragi, Sasuke Uchiha, Davis Motomiya, and Takeru 'TK' Takashi. Crowler knew about BlackGatomon and Gaomon, along with the other Digimon partners staying on Duel Academy, along with Inuyasha's and Kagome's 'former' friends and allies, and demanded them to be taken away, but with a quick threat from Hikari, Kira, Zera, Sesshomaru, Keisuke, and Hiei were more than enough incentive to make Crowler change his mind. Since Zera couldn't kill Crowler or Bonaparte, because of the modern states era rules stating that demons will be reprimanded if human blood is stained on their hands, so with her Demonic Priestess magic, she made Crowler and Bonaparte itchy and she'll gladly remove the curse, if she's and the others are allowed to stay, which made Crowler and Bonaparte to change their minds.

Daichi asks, curiously, "So, this is Yugi's hometown?"

Tyson tells Daichi, excitedly, "Yeah, Daichi! The King of Game's home!"

Sasuke says, with a serious tone, "However, we need to be on our guard. With the Society of Light around, you know that they are up to something."

Daichi tells Sasuke, drolly, "Thanks for reminding us, Sasuke."

Jaden tells his friends, with a smile, "Come on, guys! You can't let you get this down!" Jaden thinks in his mind, solemnly, "Easy for you to say, hero. You promised Koenma and the Neo-Spacians that you would stop this Society of Light and guess what? Alexis, Chazz, Yusuke, Kagome, Catherine, Kelly, Sayu, Akane, Ukyo, and along with two of Tyson's and three of Davis's friends are with the 'White Dorm' now. Man! I wish I knew what to do! However, I can't let this keep me down! I've got to stay strong for the others!" Jaden exclaims, "This is so awesome! So this is where Yugi grew up, huh? What to do first?"

Keiko replies, "How about…"

Syrus' voice booms out, "Find a bathroom!" Everyone turn to see Syrus and Hassleberry, walked away from the boat, carried a seasick Bastion by the arms, with Hikari, Kira, Hiei, Yukina, Ryoko, Mia, Mina, Kino, Cologne, and Ranma following them.

Ranma yells out, concerned, "Hey, what the hell happened to you, Bastion?"

Bastion tells Tyson, sickly, "I'm sorry! Not a big boat fan."

Just then, Kenny's voice calls out, "Glad I'm not the only one."

They turned to see Kai and Keisuke carrying a seasick Kenny by the arms, while L, Misa Amane, Ino, Neji, Lee, Kiba, and along with the remaining Leaf Village ninja, Zera, Sesshomaru, Jaken, Rin, Inuyasha's and Kagome's 'former' friends and allies, were following them. Jaden says, plainly, "Gee Kenny, you're not looking so well."

Kai says, plainly, "Kenny gets seasick on boats, when his mind isn't concentrated on other things." Soon enough, the group left the smaller pier and into the large harbor where Crowler and Bonaparte are standing in-between our heroes and heroines and Sartorius and members of the 'White Dorm', including Tyson's and Davis's brainwashed friends, two brainwashed beybladers, Hilary, Yusuke, Gaomon, Kagome, Catherine, Kelly, Sayu, Akane, Ukyo, Chazz, and Alexis with cold and serious looks in their eyes.

Bonaparte calls out through a megaphone, "May I have your attention please, everyone! It's time to review our schedule."

Sartorius calls out, interrupting Bonaparte, "I beg your pardon…" When Crowler and Bonaparte look at Sartorius and the SOL members, Sartorius says, with an evil smile, "…but my dorm and I have our own arena, today."

Kino says, with a dark sly smile and in a dark nasty tone, "Yeah, teach your dogs a new trick, Master Asshole!" In response, Mina, Tyson, Ranma, Kiba, Ryoko, Mia, Syrus, and Hassleberry snickered and Hiei and Kai smirking.

Yusuke says, in a cold snarl, "That's it, he's going down!" Yusuke was hold back Sartorius and Sartorius says, with an evil smile, "Now if you'll excuse us."

Bonaparte says, protesting, "But the regulations states that…"

Tenten says, in a cold nasty tone, "Fuck the regulations, short stack! We don't want to follow your stupid schedule!"

Sayu says, in a cold nasty tone of her own, "If you two, morons, don't like it, tough!"

Catherine says, in a cold plain tone, "Unless, you want to know what happens when you go against the Society of Light and Master Sartorius!"

Crowler shook his head and replies, fearfully, "N…no!"

Sartorius says, with an evil smile, "Good day, gentlemen," Sartorius turned away and walked with his SOL members walking with him.

Kino's smirked widened and says, with a dark sneer, "What more can you expect? From a bunch of dogs!"

Yusuke halt his walking and back glared at Kino, thinking, coldly, "Ha! Ha! Ha! Laugh it up, joker boy! We'll see whose laughing last, when you see light."

Tyson thinks in his mind, angrily, "Damn that asshole! First, he takes control of the Jaden's Duel Academy friends with a pack of lies, then he takes away Hilary, Max, and Ray!"

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, "Well, I'm going to explore the city for a bit! Miroku, you're up for it!"

Miroku says, with a smile, "Yes, Lord Jiraiya!" Soon after, Jiraiya and Miroku walked off and Sango and Tsunade gave out annoyed sighs and Tsunade tells Sango, in a plain tone, "We better go before those two perverts do something stupid."

Sango says, with a nod, "I agree." Soon after, Tsunade and Sango walked off in the same direction where Jiraiya and Miroku walked to, with Kakashi, Guy, and Anko following.

Ranma thinks in his mind, in a dark cold annoyed tone, "Those two would get along with that old pervert, Happosai!"

On the meanwhile, Crowler and Bonaparte look towards our group of heroes and heroines and Crowler says, "Well, I'm not going to babysitting this group and that much I can tell you."

Bonaparte tells Crowler, "Don't look at me."

Crowler yells out, in a commanding tone as he can muster, "You're on your own! If you need me, I'll be at the hotel."

Bonaparte exclaims, excitedly, "Me too, room service here we come!"

Crowler and Bonaparte walk away and Bastion says, solemnly, "Well this is just great! Abandoned in an unknown city."

Hassleberry says, in a serious tone, "Who cares? We don't need them ruining our fun."

Misa says, with a smile, "Hassleberry's right!"

Jaden says, with a smile, "Exactly! We're at the coolest place on earth. So we all have to make the best of it, right."

Kai says, in his usual tone, "Wrong!" Everyone looks at Kai and Tyson asks, curiously, "Kai, what's up, dude?"

Kai tells Tyson, "With the Society of Light around, we need a battle plan to crush them!"

Sasuke says, in a serious tone, "Kai's right! With the Society of Light around, we know that they're up to something."

Shippo says, seriously, "And we need to get Kagome away from that brainwashing creep, not to mention that Inuyasha, Melody, and Holly are still with that Dartz jerk!"

Kiba says, in a serious and solemn tone, "I know what you mean, Shippo! It makes me so mad that Dartz got Naruto into his control!"

Ranma says, seriously, "Not to mention my mother too!"

Kurama tells Shippo, "Shippo, I know that you're anxious to get Kagome away from Sartorius's control, but she'll be heavily guarded with Yusuke, Catherine, and three leaf village ninja, under Sartorius's control. Plus, we just can't attack the Society of Light just like that since nearly all of its members are under mind-control."

Hiei tells Kurama, in a serious tone, "Then maybe we should figure out how to break it."

Jaden says, in a serious tone, "Come on, guys, we can't let this brainwashing thing get to you guys! So, we should be having fun since we're in the coolest place in the world!"

Syrus takes out a guide book of some sort and he says, with a smile, "And I've got a guide book!"

Hassleberry takes out a guide book of his own and says, "I've got one, too, and it is more up to date!" As Hassleberry and Syrus were staring down each other.

Keiko says, drolly, "Oh boy, I know where this is going."

Ryoko says, in an annoyed tone, "No joke! Such children!"

Hikari says, with a sly tone, "Oh look who's talking, Ryoko! You and Syrus argue like a married couple!"

Syrus and Ryoko yell out in unison, annoyed, "We're not a couple!"

Soon after, Cologne, Sasuke, Kiba, Kai, Tyson, and Bastion notice Aster walking up towards all of them.

Sasuke tells Aster, with a serious tone, "Hold it, Phoenix."

Aster asks Sasuke, in his usual manner, "What do you want?"

Kiba tells Aster, with a serious tone, "What do you think?"

Tyson says, with a serious tone, "Answers, Phoenix!"

Bastion tells Aster, with a serious tone, "Sartorius is your manager, correct? Well, you can tell us what he is planning."

Aster says, with a serious sneer, "He isn't my manager. Not anymore." Aster then remembers his meeting with Sartorius in the 'White Dorm', his 'argument' with him, and Aster walking out on him. Aster says, with a serious tone, "When I found out that he was using me to brainwash people, like what he tried to do with Jaden, I walked out on him. He used me and I can never forgive him for that."

Tyson says, with a serious tone, "Oh, please!"

Kiba asks, in a nasty tone, "Do you expect us to believe that crap, Phoenix?! Now, start talking or my fists are gonna start flying!"

Neji steps forward and says, plainly, "I know that he is telling the truth, Kiba."

Kurama says, in a logical and plain tone, "His voice never wavered and his heart and breathing rate never changed, which does when someone tells a lie. Aster is telling us the truth: He is no longer an ally of Sartorius, but an enemy and he is determined to figure out his plot."

Aster tells Kurama, with a sly smile, "What makes you say that?"

Sasuke tells Aster, with a serious tone, "Don't even try this act, Phoenix. We know about who you truly are, namely with that speech after you defeat Jaden with your Destiny Heroes that one time, before Jaden had his Neo-Spacians."

Aster says, with a serious tone, "Fine. You got me!"

Cologne then says, with a serious tone, "Then tell us what Sartorius is planning! You and he may not be buddies anymore, but I know that you know something of his sick schemes!"

Kiba tells Aster, with a serious tone, "Now, talk!"

Aster replies, with his sly tone, "Why should I?" Just then a fist slams into his face, knocking him to the ground, and when Aster looks up, he sees one pissed Hikari Urameshi cracking her fists.

Hikari says, with a great sneer, "Look here, asshole! I've been waiting for a very long time to do that after what you did to Zane and for the record, asshole! My brother, cousin, friends have been brainwashed by some nutcase that believed that you have no control over your life and turn my friends into his mindless soldiers! As well as, that asshole tried to set us up by turning us against my best friend, Keiko!" Hikari grabs Aster by the collar, gets him up to his feet, and exclaims, with great anger in her tone, "Unless you come forth with this information right now, I know a few painful tricks that will make you talk and believe me, THEY WILL BE VERY UNPLEASANT FOR YOU!!! THINK OF IT AS PAYBACK FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ZANE, YOU OVERGROWN JERK!"

Tyson, Davis, and TK yelp in shock and TK says, a bit fearfully, "Yow! Remind me never to make her mad!"

Tyson says, with a bit of surprise, "I'll say and I thought that Hilary was scary when she's mad!"

Aster says, with a sly smile, "Fine. I'll give a bit of information, if you get of my collar. Unless you want us to do the tango."

Hikari throws Aster a bit away from her and Aster says, with a serious tone, "If you want to know something about Sartorius and his plans, well, I don't know much, but Sartorius is focused on you, your sister, Keiko, Jaden, Sasuke, Tyson, Kai, Davis, TK, and Ranma for a reason. He thinks that they are some kind of 'Chosen Duelists' or something that can defy destiny and he has been right on the money so far since in those duels with 'X' and the other pros that you, Kira, Keiko, Sasuke, Kai, Tyson, Davis, TK, and Ranma beaten, Sartorius predicted their great defeat by their hands, but instead, you won."

Kurama says, with a serious tone, "So, Sartorius believes that Jaden, Keiko, Hikari, Kira, Sasuke, Kai, Tyson, Davis, TK, and Ranma have the power to overcome the predictions for the future that he has."

Sasuke says, with a serious tone, "I think that I've heard of something like this. There are legends in the lands of the Shinobi about a great evil and a group of warriors that have the power to defy destiny itself, including the 'destiny of destruction' that this evil would bring. Chosen Warriors infused with the power to overcome the 'wills of the fates' and infused with great powers within them that can save or destroy the world and the universe."

Kai says, with a serious tone, "I don't think those legends are any coincidence. The 'key' to figuring this entire out might lie within those legends and myths."

Hikari says, with a serious tone, "Or anything like them."

Aster tells them, with a serious tone, "Well, if you are done, I'll be on my way. However, you should be careful. Before I left him, Sartorius mentioned that there is another 'Chosen Duelists' out there and your brother, Yusuke, and your cousin, Kagome, along with Catherine Maxwell, Kelly Storm, and Sayu Yagami, who is the younger sister of Light Yagami, who Sartorius believes is the criminal killer, Kira, is one of them."

Kira says, angrily, "That son of a bitch! We need to get Yusuke, Kagome, and our friends away from that asshole!"

Sasuke says, with a serious tone, "Do you know who the other 'Chosen Duelist' can be?"

Aster tells Sasuke, with a serious tone, "Don't have a clue. So, be on your guard."

Kiba tells Aster, with a serious tone, "We will be just fine! If he messes with us, he will be knocked into next week!"

Sasuke tells Kiba, "I don't think that it will be that easy, Kiba. We're not dealing with an ordinary enemy." Soon enough, our heroes and heroines began to walk away.

Aster tells Bastion, with a sly smile, "Even if I knew that his true plans, I'm not sure that you are duelist enough to understand it."

Bastion tells Aster, seriously, "See here, I'm top caliber! My grades are high, my records are impeccable!"

Kiba tells Aster, angrily, "Yeah! Bastion is one of the best in the Ra Yellow dorm! What gives you the right to judge Bastion's dueling skills!?"

Aster tells Kiba, with a sly smile, "Oh yeah! Then why hasn't the Society of Light targeted him, yet? Sorry pal, but Sartorius told me that he's only targeting Duel Academy's top students! I guess that Sartorius doesn't think highly of your friend, Bastion."

Bastion calls out, "Guys! Back me up here!" But when Bastion looks back, all of the others except for Kiba and Ino are gone.

Kiba asks Ino, perplexed, "Where did everyone go Ino?"

Ino replies, pointing ahead of her, "They went on ahead to take a tour of the city." Aster walks off to the side while Kiba, Ino, and Bastion, who was being dragged by Naruto, head off to rejoin the rest of our heroes and heroines.

Syrus and Hassleberry lead the others to the other side of the seaport. Syrus spoke, "This is the place where Yugi and Jo…"

Hassleberry pushed Syrus away and says, "Where Yugi and Joey dueled to there doom! Boys, we're standing on scared grounds. According to my guidebook, Pegasus handcuffed them to this pier!"

Syrus tells Hassleberry, annoyed, "Get your facts straight! It was Marik and he chained their ankles to an anchor!"

Ryoko says, in a plain tone, "I hate to say this but he's right."

Syrus crossed his arms and says, "Let me lead! I've known my ways here, since I've known Yugi when I was a kid and at least I'm to update on my Yu-Gi-Oh! History and I didn't find on the discount rack."

Hassleberry yells out, annoyed, "WHAT!"

Keiko gets in front of Hassleberry and says, worriedly, "Whoa, easy Sarge!"

Hassleberry tells at Syrus, angrily, "How about if we lived the past? Just you, me and an anchor!"

Mia slaps her forehead and she says, annoyed, "Not again!"

Jesse says, with a sly smile, "Well, it don't get any better than this, huh?"

Mia says, while looking at Jesse, "Right."

Syrus asks Hassleberry, with a sneer, while Hikari was holding him back, "Why? So I can beat you again!"

Hassleberry yells at Syrus, "At ease, dweeb!"

Hikari and Keiko yells out in unison, annoyed, "Both of you, cool it!"

Jaden says, in a serious tone, "Yeah, this is supposed to be fun! Now hug and make up!" At the Slifer Ace's comment, they huffed and turned away from each other and Jaden exclaims, excitedly, "I say we all go to Yugi's house!"

Tyson exclaims, excitedly, "Going to the King of Game's home!"

Kiba exclaims, excitedly, "Yeah! How cool is that!?"

Matt sighs at this as he looks over to Jun, who was walking off and Matt calls out to Jun, "Hey Jun, I…"

Jun sends an icy death glare at Matt, unnerving him, and Jun says, "What?"

Matt says, with a sigh, "What will it take to get you believe that I'm sorry!?"

Jun says, in an annoyed tone, "Oh, how about if you'd just jump off a bridge, asshole!" Jun then walks off with an angered huff and Nyoko says, winching, "Oh mega harsh!"

Soon after, Matt runs in front of Jun and Jun yells at him, annoyed, "What, Ishida!? I told you to leave me alone! I've done enough damage!"

Matt says, in a pleading tone, "Jun, I know what I've done! Okay! I'm more than willing to make it up to you!" Matt then jumps Jun's arms and he says, pleadingly, "Please…!"

Jun then sends an annoyed snarl as she kicks Matt's right leg, hard, making him yelp in pain, letting go of her arms. Jun then yells out, in a nasty tone, "I'm not the same girl that you'd can just dump off like a sack of garbage, Yamato Ishida! I have feelings too! When you pulled that stunt with Sora, you ripped my heart out and stomp it onto the ground! I don't think that I'd ever forgive or trust you anymore! So, just leave me alone!"

Matt then says, pleadingly, "Jun, I…" Just then, Jun slams her right hand to Matt's left check, making a nasty red mark in its wake, and Jun yells at him, angrily, "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, OKAY! I HATE YOU!" Jun then left the heartbroken Matt with Gabumon walking towards him and Gabumon asks him, "Are you going to be okay, Matt?"

Matt replies, with a solemn sigh, "I don't know, Gabumon. I just don't know. I've lost the trust of my brother, Jun, Davis, Kari, and my best friend, who's under the control of that Dartz creep! God, I just wish I just turn back time to prevent these things from happening!"

Gabumon says, in a plain tone, "I know what you mean, but don't worry things will get better eventually and we'll get Tai and Agumon back from Dartz, together."

Matt says, with a weak smile, "I sure hope so, Gabumon." Soon after, Matt and Gabumon walked to catch up with the others.

Later, they approached to a card shop that had the name 'Kame Game Shop' and Hikari exclaims, "And here we are, guys!"

Jaden exclaims, excitedly, "We're so not worthy of standing here, right now!"

Just then, the door opened to reveal to be Kagome, Yusuke, Hikari, Kira, Karin, Yugi's grandfather, Solomon Muto.

Solomon calls out, in his old voice, "Hello!"

Karin calls out, excitedly, "Grandpa!" Karin went over and hugged the old man and the man looked at Karin and asks, perplexed, "Karin, is that you?"

Hassleberry says, amazed, "Is that really him?"

Jordan says, with a smile, "It sure is!"

Lee says, with a smile, "I can't believe that the King of Game's own grandfather is standing right in front of us!"

Kiba exclaims, amazed, "Wow! He is like one hundred or something!"

Ganryu exclaims, annoyed, "Kiba! That isn't nice!"

Karin let's go of her grandfather and Solomon calls out, "Karin! Hikari! Kira! Keiko! Syrus! Karin! It is you kids!"

Syrus greets with a smile, "It's nice to see you, again, Solomon!"

Neji asks Syrus, "You know the King of Game's grandfather, Syrus?"

Syrus tells Neji, "Yeah, remember, I've known Yusuke's grandfather when I was a kid."

Jordan dashed over to Solomon and says, excitedly, "You're like a legend! Would you autograph my guidebook?"

Kiba takes out an autograph book and calls out, excitedly, "How about my autograph book?!"

Davis, TK, and Tyson takes out their autograph books and Davis asks, excitedly, "And can you sign mine!?"

Tyson asks, excitedly, "And mine as well!?"

Hassleberry says, excitedly, "Me too! After all you wrote it."

Solomon states, curiously, "I did? This old mind of mine ain't what it is use to be."

TK says, amazed, "It is you! Is Yugi here?"

Solomon replies, plainly, "Yugi's doing some traveling around the world!"

Jaden tells Solomon Moto, with a wide smile, "We're just big fans of his! We're from Duel Academy and we're on a school field trip."

Solomon Moto asks, perplexed, "You want to take a dip? Sorry, don't have a pool. But I do have a card shop and you are welcome to look around."

Izzy replies, nervously, "Thanks." Soon after, they heard inside and they look around with our group of heroes and heroines amazed at the various cards inside of the store.

Genki yells out, amazed, "This is so amazing! Look at all of these rare cards!"

Sasuke tells Genki, in a plain tone, "It is no surprise, Genki. Yugi Muto's grandfather has been a gamer for much of his life and it was he that helped Yugi Muto become the duelist that he is today."

Tyson yells out, excitedly, "Oh, wow! This card is really rare!"

Hassleberry tells Tyson, with a smile, "You know it, Private!"

Tiara says, awe-struck, "And there is a Chaos Emperor Dragon! Is it real?!"

Solomon says, with a wide smile, "So is but last year there was the strangest thing, somehow all of the pictures of all the cards had disappeared and reappeared again."

Hassleberry says, "Here's the thing, Mr. Muto! My best friend was the one, who solved the situation."

Syrus asks, with a snort and annoyed tone, "Who's best friend?"

Ryoko hits Syrus on the head and she says, annoyed, "Stuff it, baka!" These days Ryoko doesn't call Syrus any insult that involves his height, when Tiara was in the room, knowing how sensitive she was when her height was mentioned.

Solomon looks at Jaden, who was looking at the cards in the glass case, "You don't say!

Jaden says, with a wide smile, "It was a close duel!"

Syrus says, with a sly smile, "He's the best! Hassleberry, here, wants to be just like him, when he grows up!" Hassleberry growled at Syrus's statement and Solomon asks, looking for Yusuke and Kagome, "Hey, where are Yusuke and Kagome?"

Just then, everyone went silent at this and TK says, in a solemn tone, "They're not here! I'm pretty sure that you know about the Sartorius case."

Solomon says, in a plain tone, "I think I do! The memory isn't as sharp as it was before. Why don't you kids allow me to give you a tour of the town?"

Lee asks, amazed, "Are you serious!?!"

Sasuke asks, amazed, "You'd do that for us?"

Solomon says, proudly, "Certainly, I just hope you youngsters can keep up."

Davis yells out, excitedly, "All right!"

Jaden says, with a sly grin, "This is going to be sweet!"

Mina and Kino come up to Solomon, Kino whispers something into his ear, his eyes widen, and Solomon tells them, with a kind smile, "Okay, kids, wait for me outside for a minute! I've got to do something before we leave."

TK says, with a kind tone, "No problem, Mister Moto."

Neji says, looking at Mina and Kino, "We shall wait for your arrival." Immediately, the group heads outside with members like Kurama, Hiei, and Neji keeping an eye on the Tucker twins with Mister Moto.

However, Keiko says, with a kind smile, "I'll be with you guys in a minute."

Jaden says, with a sly grin, "Don't take too long, sis."

Keiko says, with a smile, "I won't!"

Soon enough, all of our heroes and heroines, minus Keiko and the Tucker twins, are outside and Solomon asks the two of them, "So, you are the Tucker twins that Mister Pegasus told me about?"

Mina says, with a nod, "Yes, sir. I am Mina. And this guy is my brother, Kino."

Solomon says, with a kind smile, "Well, it is nice to meet you."

Keiko asks Mina and Kino, "Hold up! You didn't tell me that you knew Pegasus! What's going on?"

Kino tells Keiko, with a bow, "I'm sorry, Keiko-sama. But there are some details that you weren't made known to for a reason. Jesse Anderson is a good friend and contact with Pegasus as well. We contacted him and he contacted Pegasus."

Solomon goes over to the back of his counter and he says, "I didn't know that you had a brother or you had gained such respect Keiko."

Keiko says, nervously, "It's a long story, Mister Moto." Solomon then grunts and groans as he drags a large briefcase from the back to Mina and Kino.

When he is done, he rubs his back and he says, "My words. I am not as young as I used to be." Solomon tells the Tucker twins, "This is from Maxamillion Pegasus to you. He is confident that you will get these to the right people."

Mina easily takes the briefcase and Kino says, with a plain tone, "I can assure you sir. You have our word that these will."

Solomon is amazed at Mina's strength and he says, stunned, "My words! You kids are sure taking your vitamins these days!"

Keiko thinks in her mind, "You have no idea, Mister Moto."

Solomon says, with a plain tone, "Oh. One more thing, I have something for you from Mister Pegasus, too."

Keiko asks, stunned, "For me? From Maxamillion Pegasus?"

Solomon goes to the back of the counter, takes out a good sized box, and he says, opening it, "Yep. Just for you." Inside of the box, there is a dueling deck inside and Keiko gets a weird feeling in her heart and her right arm.

Keiko thinks in her mind, perplexed, "What's this feeling? It is like that this deck is calling to me." Keiko then reaches out for the deck and she gasps as images of a huge Asian dragon made of beautiful crimson red energy and Black Rose Dragon with four other mysterious dragons enter her mind while her right arm starts to glow with the red dragon claw mark which Solomon and the Tucker twins can see.

Solomon thinks in his mind, stunned, "Egad! It's true! Keiko is a 'Signer'. That's the 'Mark of the Dragon' also known as the Dragon's Birthmark!" Soon after, the glowing mark fades away and Keiko snaps out of her trance.

Keiko asks, perplexed, "What happened?"

Solomon tries to say something, but Mina makes a motion not to say a word that's not noticed by Keiko with Kino saying, drawing Keiko's attention, "You blanked out for a second, Keiko-sama."

Keiko asks, perplexed, "I did?" When Mina and Kino nod their heads in unison, Keiko goes through the deck and looks through the cards. Keiko says, amazed, "It looks to be mainly a Plant-type deck with monsters, spells, and traps that I never seen before made for Plant-type monsters. Plant cards have been usually used in support of other decks. I've never seen one have a deck by itself." However, Keiko gasps when she comes to the Black Rose Dragon (2400/1800) Synchro Monster card and she thinks, "This card! It has the dragon that I dreamt about! I know it! I can feel the spirit of the dragon within this card!"

Solomon asks Keiko, perplexed, "Is something wrong, dear?"

Keiko regains her senses and Keiko says, with a kind smile, "Sorry, Mister Moto. I just never saw a white bodied card before."

Solomon says, with a smile, "Ah. These are Mister Pegasus' newest series of cards that will revolutionize the game of Duel Monsters. They are known as Synchro Monsters."

Keiko asks Solomon, curiously, "Synchro Monsters?"

Solomon says, with a nod, "Yep. You see, they are kind of like a combination of Fusion Monsters and Ritual Monsters." Solomon motions for the deck, Keiko gives the deck to Solomon, he goes through it while taking Black Rose Dragon Synchro Monster card out of the way, and takes out a new Tuner monster card, Rose, the Warrior of Revenge (1600/600), a four star monster with a picture of red haired woman with black armor and clothing of a warrior with a sword in her right hand, causing him to say, "Now, this is another part of the new series of cards. These are called Tuner monsters. You see, you combine Tuner monsters with non-Tuner monsters to form Synchro Monsters. However, unlike Fusion Monsters, they don't need Polymerization and they don't need certain monsters to form them. But you can't summon Synchro Monsters from cards in your hand. They have to be on the field. Plus, the total number of stars of the monsters used to summon a Synchro Monster must match the monster level of the Synchro Monster that you are summoning. For example, Black Rose Dragon is a seven star monster and this monster has four stars and it is a Tuner monster. So, you need a monster or monsters that have a total of three monster levels and they need to be non-Tuner monsters, but they can be any number and kind of non-Tuner monsters."

Keiko says, with a nod, "Kind of like Ritual Summoning."

Solomon says, with a nod, "Correct, my dear. However, it is without any special magic card that they are summon. All you need is a Tuner and non-Tuner monsters. You declare that you are 'tuning' your Tuner monster with your non-Tuner monsters in which you have to name that all and you have started the 'Synchro Summoning' process. However, for each Synchro Summon, you can only use one Tuner. Usually, it is any kind of Tuner monster, but some Synchro monsters have specific Tuner monsters that need to be used. With Black Rose Dragon, you can use any Tuner monster with any number of non-Tuner monsters as long as they equal its level. Tuner monster are usually monsters that are level one through four because Synchro Summoning needs to add up the number of monster stars together."

Keiko says, with a nod, "I understand, sir."

Solomon says, with a smile, "Well, you can read all the rules on Tuner monsters, Synchro Monsters, and Synchro Summoning in the rule book that Mister Pegasus left with the cards. Plus, you can use those cards right away since Maxamillion Pegasus got Seto Kaiba to update the duel disk's programming to include these new rules."

Keiko says, amazed, "Wow!"

Solomon puts the two cards back into the deck, returns the deck to Keiko, and he says, with a nod, "Wow, indeed. Personally, I would like see these new cards in actions. They are the future of Duel Monsters in action."

Keiko says, with a kind smile, "Well, I hope that I get the chance to use them for you to see."

Just then Tyson yells outside the door, "Come on! What's taking so long?"

Keiko tells Solomon, with a kind smile, "We had better not keep Tyson waiting, Mister Moto."

Solomon says, with a nod, "Good idea. Remember, Keiko, this is a very special deck and that dragon card, Black Rose Dragon, is one of a kind and it should be since it is a special monster card."

Keiko asks, amazed and perplexed, "One of kind? What makes it so special? And why give it to me?"

Solomon gives a glance at Mina and Kino with Kino giving a 'don't tell' motion' that Keiko doesn't see causing Solomon to say to Keiko, with a kind smile, "You will find out my dear and I think that it will help you to show how special that you are." Solomon manages to take out a deck pouch from his pocket, gives it to Keiko, and Keiko gives a perplexed look as Solomon, Kino, and Mina head outside.

Keiko thinks in her mind, suspiciously, "Why do I get the feeling that they are keeping something from me?" Keiko looks at the deck, doesn't notice the red glow from her right arm for a brief second, and she shrugs as she puts her new deck into the deck pouch that Solomon gave her with her heading out to meet the others.

(Sometime later; At the center of Domino City)

Later at the center of Domino City, we find our heroes and heroes walking about as Solomon was giving a tour around the city and Solomon then says, with a plain tone, "This is where the tournament begun. Or over there. Well you get the point."

Hikari says, in a plain tone, "Actually, the place for the start of the Battle City Tournament, right here, Grandpa."

Most of our heroes and heroines were amazed at the site and Hassleberry asks curiously, "Wait a sec. You're tellin' me this is the spot where Yugi dueled his first Rare Hunter?"

Solomon replies, with a nod, "Yep?" Soon after, Solomon leads them to near the river and he says, "And this is where Yugi first faced his first Egyptian God monster. Notices what it was?"

Sasuke replies, "Of course. It was Slifer the Sky Dragon."

Jaden says, with a smile, "That duel was legendary! That's so cool!"

Solomon says, with a smile, "Come on! The best sites are yet to come. I'll race you there." They dashed from the site, unaware that two shadows linger there.

Hikari says, with a sly smile, "A little faster there, Grandpa!"

Solomon calls out, jogging after his grandchildren and their friends, "Right, behind you!" Solomon stopped as he panted, he looked up to see them running off and he says, "I could have beaten them, but there just kids. I may as well let them win and then catch up with the little tykes later."

Just then, a figure in a blue jacket comes towards Mr. Muto from behind and shocks him to the back. He falls to the ground and he says, croakily as he loses consciousness, "Not again!"

Later on, we find our group of heroes and heroines running around until they notice that Solomon is missing.

Jaden asks, curiously, "Where did Grandpa Muto get to?"

Sasuke says, with a serious tone, "I don't know, but I sense foul play."

Kenny says, worriedly, "Oh no! What if the Society of Light found has him?!"

Kira tells Kenny, with a serious tone, "If they did, Chief, then they will have a hell to pay with us!"

Hikari nods her head and says, with a serious tone, "Yeah! That's right! Nobody kidnaps our grandfather and gets away with it, unharmed!"

Kai says, with a serious tone, "If the Society of Light is involved in this, we need to move fast."

Kira tells Kai, with a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, if those assholes did anything to Grandpa, they are going to a whole legion of fists in their faces!"

Jaden says, with a serious tone, "We need to split up."

Kai nods his head and says, "Yeah. Tyson, Daichi, and Kenny should come with me."

Sasuke tells his four fellow ninja, in a serious tone, "Since there are six of us, we should go off in all directions to cover the entire city on all sides."

Neji tells his fellow ninja, "We will have a better time on the rooftops. Let's go."

Kenny says, seriously, "Wait! We should have a place to meet!"

Kiba says, with an excited tone, "How about where the Slifer Red students are staying tonight?!"

Karin tells Naruto, with a slight nervous tone, "You realize that all Slifers are camping out tonight, right."

Keiko says, with a bit annoyed tone, "You know, I think it stinks with the class system with Slifers, Ra, and Obelisks. I mean, the Slifers might be the lowest dorm in the school, but they shouldn't be treated like trash."

Hikari tells Keiko, with a snort, "I know how you feel, Kei. But that's the way those snots created the system in Duel Academy."

Kira says, with a serious tone, "Anyway, I think that it is a good idea that we meet with the Slifers."

Sasuke says, with a serious tone, "Good. Now, let's move!" The four ninjas take off at their super-speed to get the rooftops and high perches on the large skyscrapers in the city to start their search while Kai, Tyson, Daichi, and Kenny head off in another direction.

Kurama tells Hikari, "Kira and I will go in one direction."

Kira asks, perplexed and blushing, "Huh?"

Kurama asks Kira, plainly, "Are you all right with that, Kira?"

Kira replies, with a wide blush and nervously, "S-Sure."

Kuwabara yells out, with an excited tone, "I'll go with Yukina!" Yukina gives a perplexed look while Hiei gives an annoyed one.

Hikari pulls him by the right ear and she says, with an annoyed tone, "Wrong, Romeo. You are coming with Keiko, Cologne, and me."

Kuwabara yells out, in pain, "Ow! Ow! Okay! Okay!" Hikari then pulls Kuwabara by his right ear away from Yukina and Hiei.

Jaden tells Hikari, with a serious tone, "And Sy, Hassleberry, and me will go off in separate directions."

Hikari says, with a serious tone, "Right, Jaden." Soon enough, the group take off in separate direction. Unknown to them, they didn't know is that they were being watched by three familiar figures, which were the Orichalcos controlled Inuyasha, Melody, and Holly, in the distance.

Melody says, in a dark cold plain tone, "So, the Society of Light has made their move on them, huh?"

Holly says, in a dark cold serious tone, "We should go back to Master Dartz to await further instructions."

Inuyasha says, with a dark cold plain tone, "Good idea!" Then, the three Orichalcos controlled dog hanyous disappears, using Instant Transmission.

(At the Orichalcos's headquarters; Sometime later)

Within the Orichalcos's headquarters, we find Dartz, Izayoi, Nodoka, Tai, Agumon, Naruto, Light, Michael, Allie, and Tyler looking at the Orichalcos controlled Inuyasha, Melody, and Holly as they explained about what happened.

Dartz says, with a nod, "I see, so those Society Fools are making they're first move, I see."

Melody says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Master Dartz, I'm growing tired of this and I've made some new ways with my Demonic Priestess magic to make that witch and her whole dork club, sorry that she'd ever treated Inuyasha like a common dog."

Dartz says, with an evil sly smile, "I know how you feel, Melody. However, if I can tell you that you, along with your siblings, mother, Missus Saotome, Mister Kamiya, including his Digimon partner, Agumon, Mister Yagami, and Mister Uzumaki, can demonstrate your new powers to Kagome Higurashi and the Society of Light, while showing your true forms."

Naruto says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Ha! I'd say that it's about damn time! Believe it!"

Inuyasha says, with an evil sly smile, "That's right, Naruto! It's finally payback time!"

Dartz tells Izayoi and her children, "Plus, I've got a surprise for you four."

Holly asks, curiously, "What is it, sir?"

Dartz calls out, to a feminine figure, "You can come out now, my dear!" Just then, the female figure comes out of the darkness, which made Izayoi, Inuyasha, Melody, and Holly gasp in shock and surprise by this.

The figure in front of them looks to be a dog demon that looks exactly like a female version of Inuyasha, her silver hair is tied to a ponytail with two Chinese buns, golden eyes similar to Inuyasha's, which showed a hint of dark coldness, and she wore a black kimono top which showed a moderate cleavage for her ample bosoms, with a black kimono skirt, which stopped towards half way near her kneecaps, which showed her sexy and seductive figure underneath her clothes with a blood red ribbon wrapped around her slender feminine waist to hold the kimono in place. She also is wearing two golden sandals with the Millennium Symbol onto the straps around the toe area, with golden little wings on each side of the sandals, on her feet, and her claws are the same size as Inuyasha's claws.

Holly says, shocked, "No way!"

Melody says, with disbelief, "I don't believe it!"

Inuyasha says, with a stunned tone, "Me…Megumi!"

The dog demon, Megumi, says, with a dark cold sly smile, "What do you expect, bro?"

All of the Orichalcos warriors, except for Izayoi, Inuyasha, Melody, and Holly, gasp in shock at this and Naruto says, in a shocked tone, "Sister!"

Melody says, with a dark cold smile, "That's right! Megumi is mine and Inuyasha's younger twin sister and Holly's older twin sister, making her a half-demon like us. When our mother was killed by those rotten thugs, a few of those thugs threw Megumi off a cliff! We assumed that she died by that fall."

Tai yells out, in a horrified tone, "No way! Who would do such a thing!?"

Izayoi runs over to Megumi, gives her a motherly hug, and she says, with a dark cold smile, "That doesn't matter! The most important thing is that we're together again!"

Inuyasha asks Dartz, "Wait a sec, sir, did you revive Megumi back from the dead like you did with my mother and Light?"

Megumi says, with a dark cold giggle as Izayoi let's her go, "Inuyasha, Master Dartz didn't revive me! In fact, I wasn't dead."

Holly asks Megumi, curiously, "What do you mean, Megumi?"

Megumi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Well, you see, when those thugs came, killed off our mother, and threw me off the cliff, I fainted as I fell, embracing my death, but it never came. That's where this good hearted man saves me from death, but I hit my head on the ledge of the cliff, and got amnesia but I remembered my name like Holly did. I went from village to village to find some answers about, who I was, but all I've ever gotten was major prejudice from humans and demons alike because of me being a half-demon. However, I was sealed to a tree by a priestess."

Melody yells out, in a dark cold enraged tone, "A what!?"

Megumi says, in a dark cold angered tone, "That's right! This priestess name was Kikyo! She's the one that sealed me up in a tree! She accused me for stealing food from a local village and killed many humans!"

Inuyasha roars out, in a dark cold angered tone, "So, she's the one, who sealed you up! That's it! I have half a mind to show that claypot bitch a painful lesson on why not it's not very smart to mess with my family!"

Melody says, in a dark cold snarl, "Get in line, bro!"

Holly says, in a dark cold sneer, "Yeah, that rotten claypot witch is going to pay for this!"

Megumi looks at Dartz and she asks, with a dark cold smile, "I was placed in that spell for more than five hundred years, until the same man that saved my life, when I was a child, came and freed me from that fucking priestess's spell. That man is Master Dartz. He was the only one that took me into his arms and raised me as if I was his own daughter."

Izayoi tells Dartz, with a dark cold smile, "Master Dartz, we are totally indebt to you for this."

Dartz says, with an evil smile, "Please, it was my pleasure, my dear."

Megumi says, with a dark cold smile, "Master Dartz gave me back my memories of Inuyasha, Melody, Holly, Izayoi…" Megumi then says, in a dark cold snarl, "…and of course, those rotten traitor, Zera, and that emotionless asshole, Sesshomaru, who left me for dead."

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold snarl, "Oh I take that Master Dartz showed you the truth, huh?"

Megumi says, in a dark cold nasty tone, "No duh, bro!? Plus, he told me the truth about that rotten miko, who is Kikyo's reincarnation, and her no good friends, who treated you like a dog and plotted to kill you and Melody as soon as they take their 'precious' miko back from a rotten human that's named Sartorius."

Holly says, with an evil smile, "Oh don't worry, Megumi, that backstabbing miko, along with her past self, will pay for their treachery."

Melody says, in a dark cold snarl, "Yeah, they have a debt long past overdo!"

Dartz says, in a plain tone, "I'm glad that you all will see it my way. Plus, I've unlocked Megumi's 'Celestial Embodiment' powers and her Ancient Egypt powers."

Holly says, with a surprised tone, "Wait a sec, Megumi, you too!"

Megumi says, with a dark cold sly smile, "That's right, sis! Meet my Millennium Sandals!" Soon after, Megumi's Millennium Sandals that's on her forehead glows golden and blinds everyone in the room as Megumi's form changes.

As the light dims enough to everyone to see what was in front of them a female half-dog demon that looks similar to Megumi except with honey colored skin, a black version of Atem's Millennium Crown across her forehead, wearing clothes similar to Mana's clothing that's covering her flawless feminine form with a perfect curved and perfectly shaped curves on every single point on her body, except they are a mixture of golden and bright orange in color, wrapped around her slender and feminine upper arms are golden armbands, she is wearing the Millennium Sandals, she doesn't have the hat that Mana wears on her head, she has a version of the same necklace that Mana wears around her neck, but the jewel in it being dark red in color, she has a orange staff with a red jewel on top in her right and, and she has a Diadiankh attached to her left wrist.

Naruto asks, in a dark perplexed tone, "Hey who's that!?"

Inuyasha says, in a dark cold serious tone, "Wait! I remember her! That's our sister from Ancient Egypt, Akira!"

Tyler says, amazed, "Whoa! So, Taigoku had another sister!"

Akira says, with a mature and more woman-like in a dark cold sly tone, "That's right!"

Light asks Inuyasha, in a dark cold plain tone, "Just how many sisters did you have when you were Taigoku?"

Inuyasha replies, in a dark cold plain tone, "Hard to say." Inuyasha asks Dartz, in a dark curious tone, "What do you think, sir?"

Dartz says, in a serious tone, "To tell you the truth, Inuyasha, Taigoku may have many siblings in his life time that it's hard to tell that if they're have been reincarnated in this time or in the Feudal Era. However, I'll make sure that we'll find them and bring them to fight for our cause. Especially, since I know who is solely responsible for the death's off Lady Izayoi, along with the capture of Holly and near death of Megumi!"

Inuyasha yells out, in a dark cold serious tone, "Who!?"

Dartz says, in a serious tone, "The one solely responsible for this is the Spirit World Ruler, King Emma!"

The Orichalcos warriors gasp in shock and horror at this and Akira says, in a dark cold angered tone, "So, Koenma's father was the one, who's responsible for taking away my mother, Holly, and Megumi from us when we were kids!"

Dartz nods his head and he says, in a plain tone, "I'm afraid so, Inuyasha. You see, all King Emma cared about is his own power and he will do anything to keep it! Why do you think that he tried to kill Yusuke and Hikari Urameshi, when they died at the hands of Shinobi Sensui with Yusuke Urameshi dying the second time and Hikari Urameshi dying the first time?! Simple! You see, a prophet told King Emma that because of his tyrannical ways, that one day a 'Chosen Hanyou' shall rise, take him off his throne, and he shall know ever lasting suffering for his crimes after he is dethroned."

Just then, after hearing about this, Inuyasha, Melody, Holly, Akira, and Izayoi are filled with uncontrollable anger, rage, and hatred towards King Emma as they yell out in pure anger and rage as dark violet and red auras bursts from their forms, pushing back everyone else to their bottoms, and Inuyasha yells out, in pure dark cold enraged tone unlike him before, "Why that fucking rotten SOB! I have half a mind to go up to Spirit World and kick his fucking, sorry, glorified ass, right now!"

Melody yells out, in a dark cold angered tone, "Get in line, bro! The first thing that I see that rotten bastard, King Emma, I'm using him as my own personal starching post!"

Holly says, in a dark cold angered tone, "That rotten asshole is going to pay for tearing up my family!"

Akira says, in a dark cold snarl, "That fucking bastard is so dead!"

Izayoi says, in a dark cold serious tone, "King Emma's crimes will never be forgiven!" Everyone gets up onto their feet after the declarations and Dartz says, with an evil sly smile, "Of course, all of you will get your revenge against King Emma as soon as the Great Leviathan rises, once again."

Akira says, with an evil sly smile, "Don't worry, sir! We'll make sure that the Great Beast rises with heads of those rotten mikos as trophies on a silver platter!" Soon after, Akira turns back to Megumi and Megumi says, with an evil smile, "Plus, I've gotten the same amount of training that you guys got. So, I'm at Super S-class strength now."

Inuyasha says, with a surprised tone, "No way!"

Holly says, amazed, "Unbelievable!"

Megumi says, with a dark cold sly smile, "Plus, I've gotten the DNAs of the people that you guys already have, including the Urameshi triples, the rotten miko, and Daisuke Motomiya."

Naruto says, with a dark cold sly grin, "Ha! We're getting more and more powerful, already!"

Michael says, with an evil sly smile, "That's right, Naruto! Soon and very soon, the judgment day of all humans and demons will finally be here."

Dartz then says, with an evil smile, "I'm glad that all of you are so eager for this assignment, now! You'll attack the hotel where the Society of Light as soon as those other fools that Mister Saotome is 'working with' finished with their duels with the Society of Light."

Nodoka asks Dartz, in a dark cold plain tone, "Excuse me, Master Dartz, wouldn't it almost close to reveal to Ranma about my ninja bloodline?"

Dartz says, with an evil smile, "Of course, however, I sense that Prince Koenma have already looked through your family tree and will reveal the truth to your son, Missus Saotome. I could unlock his seal, but that will jeopardize Ranma's mission as a spy. After all, your son also told me that the old Chinese Amazon, Cologne, is pretty much on to him and itching to, but that threat is diminished as long as Ranma still holds the card where the soul of Miss Shampoo is in."

Nodoka says, with a bow, "I understand, sir! I am sorry to question your judgment."

Dartz holds his hand and he says, with an evil smile, "There's no need to apologize, Missus Saotome. You are just worried about your son's abilities and that's quite understandable."

Nodoka says, in a dark cold plain tone, "Thank you, sir."

To be continued…
