Hi everyone! Yes it's been a while, but I've done a chapter for a story now and I might do a chapter for Explorers of Mobius sometime next week since I've started a bit of it. I had writer's block at one point and I still have, but I'll try my best at it.
Anyway, here's the answers to the previous chapter, please enjoy and review!
Chapter 4 – Questions Answered
Throughout the school day, Yusei tried to get a hold of Matt to get more information about what happened yesterday, but it seemed that he couldn't find him for the rest of the day. Even if Yusei couldn't find Matt for some answers, he thought about the questions in his mind; like 'How did he win against his match against Matt?', 'How did he get his Junk Warrior?' But the one question that has been bugging him was what Matt said last to Yusei before he left.
1 Hour ago...
Yusei realised something and said his thoughts out loud, "Do you think that wish has something to do with that duel?" Matt put his fingers on his chin in thought and replied, "Maybe, you were stronger in our duel and I might have imagined it, but your eyes were dull gold when you were duelling me".
Matt stood up and announced, "Well, I gotta get back to the guys, we can talk more about this another time, see you Yusei". Yusei waved back with a smile and said, "Bye see ya!" Yusei looked back at his Stardust Dragon card and thought, 'The legend... can it be true?'
Present
Yusei thought back to what Matt said then and thought, 'Matt said that my eyes were dull gold... what did he mean by that? Maybe Matt was imagining things... or was he?' Yusei had his dinner and was now sitting on his bed, thinking about his school day; thinking about Matt saying about his dull gold eyes, he walked up to his mirror, looking at his reflection. Looking at his eyes, they were the usual, azure blue eyes that he was born with; but something else caught his eyes.
He noticed that his arms, which had a couple of bruises earlier today had vanished; when he woke up this morning, he saw the bruise marks all over his arms and he knew he got them from his first duel with Matt, but seeing them disappear confused Yusei. 'Wait a second... how did my bruise marks vanish so fast? I need some answers...'
Yusei sat back on his bed and closed his eyes, focusing on what has happened so far. After a while, he got an idea; he picked up his Stardust Dragon card from his jacket pocket and looked at it. 'If I wished on the card, maybe it could respond back to me!' Yusei closed his eyes again and asked thoughtfully, 'Stardust Dragon, I need some answers to my questions, please respond...'
Yusei opened his eyes and waited for any kind of response; but unfortunately for him, Stardust didn't respond at all. Yusei sighed and said, "Oh well, at least I tried". Yusei looked at his digital clock on his bedside table as it read 10:11. Yusei opened his bed covers and tucked himself in his bed; soon enough, his eyes were fully shut and ready to dream the night.
Yusei's dream started with a junkyard that he has been in before; Yusei was standing in the middle of three piles of old machinery. To him, it seemed like any other day when he searches for cards and machinery that he could use in the piles; he was walking around the piles, confused as to why he was dreaming this.
'This is strange... I haven't dreamt of this place before and somehow, I feel like something big is about to happen...' After thinking with that thought, he heard a loud voice calling him. "Well, well, look what we have here guys..." Yusei turned back sharply to see three guys with the same clothes on; all three of them looked like brothers and they were wearing black leather jackets with plain grey shirts and black jeans. The person who spoke continued, "... a lost kid, are you lost? Let us help him get back home".
Yusei knew he couldn't trust these guys, from what Martha has told him, most of the people in Satellite are either criminals or members of duel gangs; they try and ask for help when really, they are actually doing something awful to you. "I'm not lost and I don't need your help" The guy who spoke narrowed his eyes and replied, "Looks like this kid needs to learn a lesson about manners!" The three brothers gathered very close to Yusei and Yusei closed his eyes and made himself as small as possible; Yusei wasn't the best fighter for these sort of situations.
But something unexpected happened, before the three brothers were about to hit Yusei, a loud roar stopped them; Yusei still had his eyes closed but the three brothers were terrified. The first brother called out, "What was that?" The second one added, "It sounded like some sort of roar!" The third one replied loudly to the other brothers, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm outta here!" The third brother ran out of the junkyard as fast as he could and the other followed him out; when it became a lot quieter, Yusei opened his eyes slowly, realising that no one is near him, trying to hurt him.
Yusei uncovered himself and looked around him, trying to find the source of the roar. 'That's strange... unlike those three, I'm not scared at what made that roar...I wonder what made that roar...' Yusei continued to look around until a soft voice spoke to him,"That roar came from me, I scared them off for you, Yusei".
Yusei widened his eyes at the voice, he never heard a voice like that before; he turned back slowly and saw the brightest, yet similar creature that he ever known. Its body was very light blue, almost crystal white. It had aqua blue crests all over its body and it had purple chest plates on its chest and shoulders; its head was shaped like a narrow rocket and its wings were wafer thin. Even though it was his first time seeing Stardust Dragon in the flesh, Yusei was very calm and he looked neutral at the dragon.
"I'm Stardust Dragon, but just call me Stardust". Yusei thought with realisation, 'Maybe this is why I dreamt of the junkyard, because Stardust must have come to answer my questions!' "Stardust, I need some answers to what's been happening lately... I was duelling my friend Matt 2 days ago and made a deal that the winner of that duel gets the opponent's best card. I lost that duel and Matt took my Junk Warrior away, so that's when I made my wish on your card; but since then, I duelled Matt again and won and I can't seem to remember how I've beaten him. Plus I seem to have noticed that my bruise marks that I got on my arms yesterday have vanished..." Yusei took a deep breath and added, "...Could you explain what is happening?"
Stardust closed his eyes in deep thought, after what seemed like a minute to Yusei, Stardust opened his eyes and answered telepathically to Yusei,"I can answer your question Yusei..." Stardust looked at a small pool of water that both him and Yusei were near to and added,"...I want you to look at your reflection from that puddle". Yusei was confused as to why Stardust was asking such a simple thing like that, but he did what Stardust asked him to do and he saw his reflection staring back at him.
"Now, can you see you eyes perfectly, Yusei?" Yusei was still confused as to why Stardust wanted him to look at his own reflection, but he answered simply, "Yes, they're blue". Stardust nodded and replied thoughtfully,"Now, I'm going to ask you a question, but you must keep your eyes open, don't blink or look away from your reflection, okay?"
Yusei nodded but kept his eyes on his reflection, Stardust then asked,"Okay, here's your question, what's 13 x 46?" Yusei sighed at that question, but at least it was a small maths question instead of fractions. "Um... uh..." Yusei was struggling for at least a minute, but then something unexpected happened; like what happened in the maths class, his left eye changed from azure blue to dull gold.
Yusei answered, "It's 598". After that answer, the dull gold eye changed back to its original blue colour; Yusei stepped back in surprise and guessing from what Stardust had seen, Yusei had seen his eye changed colour. "Why did my eye changed colour?" Stardust answered telepathically,"When you wished on your card to become stronger and to gain more friends, I gave you some of my abilities. What you saw was one example, if you are struggling with knowledge questions or if there is something you don't understand, one of your eyes changes colour and then you gain my knowledge for that moment".
Yusei widened his eyes in surprise and had realised one detail that happened earlier on.'So that's how I answered that fractions question back in class!' Stardust nodded and added thoughtfully,"That's right Yusei, my IQ helped you answer that question". Yusei replied curiously, "Wait... did you just read my thoughts?" Stardust nodded his head and answered,"Yes, since we are both linked, we can read each other's minds..."
Stardust was silent for a bit, but he continued."...Now, about the fast healing, that happens because my body can recover quite fast to small damage or injuries, so since you're linked to me, you can recover from damage a bit faster than what you normally know".
Even with all of these surprising answers, Yusei added questioningly, "What about the duelling? My friend said that both of my eyes were gold like you explained to me and he said that I looked stronger during the duel, could you explain that to me, Stardust?"
Stardust closed his eyes, thinking of an answer and once he got his answer, he opened his eyes and answered the question."A part of your wish was to become stronger, which meant that you will be stronger within duelling as well as the other abilities that I explained to you. Now to explain what happens... when you are about to duel, your spirit moves someplace safe while my spirit takes over your body, that's why your friend saw you as a more confident, strong and smart friend and that both of your eyes were gold".
Yusei was surprised and shocked at all of this information that has been giving to him; from what Stardust has told him, him and Stardust were somehow linked. As Stardust answered each of Yusei's questions, Yusei slowly started to understand how all of these strange events that had happened within the past two days happened. But there was one question that he still had to ask Stardust.
"Thanks for answering all of my questions, but I have one last question, is there a way for me to watch the duels when you're in control?" Stardust nodded and answered,"Yes there is, when you vision goes black, just close your eyes and think about the opponent you were about to face, before I took over". Yusei looked at Stardust's eyes with a smile and replied kindly, "Thank you Stardust, that takes a load of mind, do you know when I will see you again?"
Stardust replied,"If you ever want to see me or ask me anything, just ask or dream of me and I'll be there, I will always protect you, no matter what the cost..." After Stardust said this, the whole area as well as Stardust and Yusei glowed brightly white.
Yusei slowly opened his eyes, waking up from his dream; as he got up, he looked around his room seeing if what happened in his dream was real. Yusei then heard Martha calling him from downstairs. "Yusei, wake up or you'll be late for school!" After hearing this, Yusei got up quickly, got changed, did his hygienic morning routines, had his breakfast and got his bag, ready for another day at school, but one thing has been bugging Yusei's mind.'What Stardust said... is it all true?'
There you go everyone, a basic interaction with Stardust Dragon. I hope you like this and please review...
