Here's chapter 8 everyone. This will be my rewritten version of the Black Rose and after this card the Fortune Cup will begin! I'm really looking forward to it.

Ontop of that I've got a perfect idea for the next duel that will show all of you Delsons Deck and trust me it will be a good match up.

Also now replying to my reviewers

Leouch of Zero chapter 7

I'm glad that you enjoyed the whole chapter and enjoyed Fabled Asera. Figured the Fabled could use more females so I figured why not?

Bobby Jenkin's for some odd reason replying back to reviews for chapter 1.

1. Hmmm, don't get to ahead now. were nowhere near those yet but think what want to think.

2. Cosmic Eye's Dragon wouldn't work because it would only work in a Stardust Deck. Coral Dragon good suggestion. Imperial World Dragon is actually made up. Beelze of The Diabolic Dragon another good suggestion. Ascension Sky Dragon, another great suggestion. As for the Dragunity I already have that covered for a green mow hawk;) As for Doom Kaiser it's technically a zombie and it fit's in a zombie deck and I already had that one covered.

But over and all I've decided to mainly use Oc Dragon's since it would kind of be better while giving this thing a bit more a touch to be honest.

Then Lumigo akov9504 for all chapters.

1. Well good because it will get better

2. It's nickname that all of the duelists from Satellite had given him do to his really young age. And yes only some of the cards The Fabled are real cards.

3. Well, at least you liked it.

4. I really enjoyed creating Cara and if you like her wait tell you see Delson in action. As for Wilson he's just only a punk that's it.

5. The duel between Jack and Jason? Oh yeah.

6. And that...is what help make us question and guess the mystery.

7. You will all find out real soon. And this just goes to show that not everyone's lives are easy and they come with no warning. But hope that you'll like this.

BloodySS2God.

I'm very happy to have another pleased reader and hope that you enjoy this chapter.

Also FYI this chapter will be a bit short and will lead up to the beginning of the fortune cup. So after this, things will begin to heat up.

( I don't own the card game nor anime just only my oc's and cards that I've made up)

Chapter 8

The Black Rose

As of right now Jason had woken up and was currently talking to Slade on an old cellphone and explained to him everything that had happened. From Dueling Jack followed by a weird dragon appearing and disappearing, then his cards start talking to him. And then last but not least he was invited to participate in the Fortune Cup before being ambushed by Ferno who nearly blew him up.

" And that's how I got here to the tops. But it was mostly both Leo and Luna's handy work " Jason said.

" Well, at least it's good to hear that your okay " the older male sighed. " After a few days I was starting to worry. How come you didn't come back? "

" I was going to, but i'd went looking for my friend Yusei instead but was ambushed Ferno afterwards. "

" Hmm, well, if Goodwin's inviting you to the fortune cup...then that means he's got himself a motive. Better keep your guard up boy.
"

" Will do " Jason said now getting off the line.

" I'm glad to see that you decided to stay " a voice said making him turn around to see that it was Luna wearing her pj's.

" Speak for yourself in these last few days I've had the best sleeping in my life. So how could you resist that? " the young albino said to the male twin before noticing Leo coming down.

" Morning Leo " Jason greeted.

" Cool you didn't leave "

" Funny, your sister said the same thing " Jason said.

" Now, can you please tell us his name? " Leo asked.

" Sorry, no can do " Jason smiled as he casually went to the fridge making Leo whin but he ignored that. " Hmmm...not much...oh! Chicken! " the albino said already spotting his breakfast and decided to throw in a few eggs and began to cook away on a frying pan.

" Wait you know how to cook? " Luna asked in surprise.

" Yep. When your living by yourself you pick a few tricks " Jason said as he flipped an omelet. " I'll even make you guys some breakfast. "

Then all of the sudden the phone mirror as Jason liked to call it began to ring with Leo running over to it and answered it. As for why he called it that was because he was scarred for life because of Bloody Marry when he was more little.

" What up my main man? " a kid asked on the other line. He had brown hair, orange redish eyes behind a pair of glasses and appeared to be dressing fancy since he wore a red bowtie.

" Dexter! Get this some guy... " but Leo was cut off.

" Boss! There's time for that! I got us a lead " the brown head kid now identified as Dexter said cutting to the point.

" A lead? " Leo asked a bit confused.

" Duh! The Black Rose! " Dexter said getting Jason's attention as he continued his work but decided to listen.

" Come on Dex, the Black Rose is just some urban legend " Leo said followed by Luna.

" You miss me Dexter? " she said in a teasing voice making Jason laugh a little because of the random timing as he continued to cook up breakfast.

" Uh..no. Listein, the Black Rose is no legend. She's the most amazing duelist ever. Her cards come alive! I know where she is and I rebuilt my deck to taker her on. "

" So where is she? " Leo asked.

" I was scanning some blogs earlier this morning and check this out! There's this rumor going around saying she's gonna pop up at the street duels today! "

" Then let's go! " Leo said showing off his duel disk and this caught his friend by surprise.

" Leo! How come your duel disk isn't falling off anymore? " Dexter asked.

" Right..so this super hero stops by and... "

" He's not a superhero Dexter he's a knight " Luna cutted off her brother.

( Well that's a first ) Jason said to himself since not many people looked brightly towards his friend and by not many people he meant the people who wanted Yusei out of the picture.

" What are you two talking about? Who fixed up your duel disk? " Dexter asked and Jason was starting to grow a little worried now.

" Okay, so this guys duel runner is red and- " he was then stopped by her sister.

" Leo...until we know more about this guy we have to keep this between us " Luna whispered

" Yeah good point " Leo replied before their conversation was cut short by their friend.

" Hey!? What's going on!? " the brown head asked as Luna acted like everything was fine.

" Uh...nothing. We were just discussing about how much we really like your new bow tie. Listen we got to go now, see ya! " the female twin said ending the call followed by an oven mitt hitting Leo in the face.

" Hey what was that for?! "

" Look I get it that he seems cool to you, but out of respect you don't know a lot about him. "

" Jason's right Leo this is our secret "

" Thank you " the albino said to the female twin. " And also I'm not really comfortable with the idea of you and your friend going to a street duel just to duel someone who might not even exist. On top of that I've heard of the rumors of the Black Rose and if there as bad as they say you could get hurt. "

" I know but Dexter has been wanting to duel the Black Rose for a while now "

" That don't matter, I'm with Jason, Leo you and Dexter could get hurt " Luna said backing up with Jason.

" But Luna this could by my one chance to help improve our dueling skills since the duel I've had with Jason and his friend. So why don't you come with me and Dexter? "

" So basically your asking me to be your escort? "

" Yeah. Come on Jason please!? " the male twin begged making his sister sigh in annoyance.

" Leo, can't you just take a hint? And not go? "

Jason then sighed in defeat. " Fine, i'll go with you, but if it get's to dangerous were going no if's or buts got it? "

" Got it " Leo replied.

" Good, first have some breakfast " the albino said in a commanding tone as he went over to munch.

" What? Can't we just.. "

" No " Jason cut him off and dug in and even spoke with food in his mouth. " Breakfast most important meal of the day. So eat, and that ain't no request either. "

Leo looked to Luna who just shrugged her shoulders and decided to go eat.

Desmonds garage comes into view.

" So how do you feel Kara? " the green mowhawk teen asked as he was making the final adjustments for his duel runner. " I mean the fortune cup is tomorrow. "

The orange haired female teen sighed. " I just feel nervous, plus I don't even know if we can do this. Mom's life is literally at stake here. "

" I know. But we have to try at least " Desmond said as he then browsed at his deck. " Good thing I've had the time to fix up my turbo deck. So all I can now is just hope all goes well. By the way, ever since you saw that dragon you've been alright? "

She paused for a moment and reflected on the memory of the Crimson Dragon appearing in the sky not to long ago.

" Yeah, plus after a long time of thinking. I've decided to use it. "

" You mean the card that your dad left for you after he passed away? " Desmond asked a little surprised as she gazed at the card itself.

" Dad always told me that this card represented light and good of the world. I've wondered what he meant by it. But I'm willing to my best in the Fortune Cup. "

" Well good to hear, because now with my improved decks my dragons won't go down without a fight. So I'm with ya " the mowhawk teen said now giving his friend a fist bump.

It now changes to Rex Goodwin's complex with the man himself looking standing in front of the window.

" How's your training coming for the Fortune Cup? " Goodwin asked Jack who was sitting on the sofa.

" If you mean siting on the couch? Just great " Jack retorted giving Goodwin an answer showing he wasn't pleased while Mina poured him a cup of tea.

" Well, you might wanna change your attitude. I've invited not just one but two additional contestants this year " Goodwin said while approaching the sofa perking up Jack's intrist.

" Who? " Jack asked.

" Your friends from the Satelite, Yusei Fudo and Jason The Kid. "

" He'll be there including Jason? I like " Jack said now sounding a bit more pleased.

" I'm glad. I'd hope it would motivate you. "

" While I'm at it, where is Jason? " Jack inquired. " Because from what you told me some punk tried to kill him. Where is he now? "

" Were still searching for answer's and the one called Ferno is still being questioned. Well, I should probably let get back to your uh, "training regiment"? I'll show myself out and Jack...make sure you win this time okay? " Goodwin said before he left leaving only both Jack and Mina alone.

" Do you have any idea what this means Mina? " Jack asked lifting up his tea cup while she was trying to come up with an answer but failed.

" It means I can finally take on Yusei and even Jason again. "

" And that's a good thing isn't it? " she asked as he gazed at his own reflection through the tea.

" It's so much more then that. Its a chance. "

" A chance for what? Mr Atlas? " Mina asked as he sipped his tea and he placed it back down.

" A chance to redeem myself " Jack said as he picked up the top card from his deck and it was revealed to be Stardust Dragon. " I underestimated Yusei in our last match but this time I'll prove to him I'm the best " he said while getting up.

" What? Like right now? Mina asked as he explained.

" I'm just gonna out and even the play field so that Yusei defiantly shows up meaning if he shows up, so will Jason. And if I'm right about this the Crimson Dragon just might show up at the Fortune Cup as well. "

The Daiman area now comes into view.

" Hmmm, defiantly reminds me of satellite " Jason said to himself as he, Leo and Dexter were still on the search for the Black Rose. Luna wasn't around because she decided not to come. But over the course of the entire day they had been looking for any signs or just anything that would give them a general idea on where to find her.

But he was also keeping his eyes an ears sharp for any signs of possible danger.

" Geez, who ever the Black Rose is, she obviously don't wanna be found " Jason commented.

" No kidding " Leo agreed as they continued to look around and kind of noticed that his friend Dexter seemed nervous. " Hey Dex? What's the matter? " the blue green haired kid asked.

" Uh, Leo? Are you sure about this guy? I mean he does have a mark " the glasses boy said whispering.

" Don't worry about it...Jason's a really good person. Just trust me okay? " Leo asked whispering back.

" Alright... " the brown head said still feeling a bit unsure but decided to trust his friends words about Jason.

" So are you sure this is the area? " the albino asked Dexter.

" Yeah. "

" Well where should we start looking for her? " Leo asked.

" Look " Jason pointed out towards a crowd of guys gathered around. " Bingo a street duel. You want some answers then that's a good place to start. Let's go over there " the albino said before getting in front of them.

" Okay, guys... just let me do the talking alright? " they both nodded and headed over.

" Hmm? He could you fellas give us a little view? " Jason asked a few guys with them moving aside.

After getting a decent view the three boys then got a clear view of the duel. On one side there was a guy who looked a lot like Joey Wheeler while on the other side and on his field was werewolf wearing black pants and had some kind of red device over it's heart area.

(Lycanthrope Level 6 Atk. 2400 Def. 1800)

Jesse Wheeler Life Point's 500

As for the other side it appeared to be a young duelist wearing a blue hoodie and a masquerade mask. And on his side of the field was a rock monster that wore black gloves and black pants along with a pair of goggles around it's neck.

(Goggle Golem Level 4 Atk. 2100 Def. 500)

? Life Point's 2000

" I will now play the spell Back Up Rider! Now Goggle Golem gains an extra 1500 attack points " Goggle Golem gave off a battle cry as it's power grew.

(Goggle Golem Atk. 2100+3600)

" Now attack! " the mysterious masked duelist said as his monster punched away the werewolf destroying it.

Jesse Wheeler Life Point's 500-0

" Aw man " the look alike said as he approached the mysterious and handed him the monster he used and the spell used to ritual summon it. " You win kid. "

" I will take care of these cards " the stranger said. " Take this in exchange. I win some you win some " the masked duelist said as he gave his opponent Gilfreid the Lightning.

" Cool, thanks a lot. See ya later " the cousin said along with the masked duelist now leaving.

( There's something really particular about that duelist. I don't know what it is but I've got a bad feeling about this. ) Jason said to himself gathering his thoughts before he decided to ask around.

" Hey excuse me sir? Have you seen the Black Rose? " Jason asked.

" Nah, don't you know she don't exist? Maybe she's dueling one of your imaginary friends! " the guy said in a Boston ascent.

" And I'm pretty I got the same answer ten times today " Jason remarked before turning to both Leo and Dexter.

" Nearly the same answer that we've been getting all day " the albino said shrugging his shoulder not sure of what else to do.

" Maybe she doesn't exist Dex " Leo said.

" Well I know the blogs don't lie. She'll be here, I just know it " Dexter said.

" You sure? I mean does anyone know who she really is? " the blue green haired male twin asked.

" Well she better show up, because my deck is ready for her. "

" Okay, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we've been looking for her all day. We should really get home " Jason said pointing out the most likely outcome.

" Huh? Go home? The Black Rose is the greatest duelist ever! They say her cards make real monsters! Her spells are like real spells! And her traps are like...

" Let me guess? Real traps? " Leo asked already knowing the answer before his friend sniffed.

" If you won't help me then fine. But I'm staying right here got that? "

" Don't cry Dexter I'll stay " Leo teased.

" I don't cry! "

" Could have fooled us " Jason retorted.

" Jason! " the albino recognized the voice and turned around and sure enough it was his friend Yusei.

" Jeez, about time that I found you! " Jason said rushing over to Yusei while Leo said to Dexter he was a super hero.

" Feelings mutual. Where have you been? "

" Long story " Jason said before he noticed he wasn't alone. Standing with him was an old with whit hair wearing robes including a tall bulky male with blue spiky hair including a brown haired male with a little bit of scruff.

" See you already made some friends. I'm Jason " the albino said extending out his hand and was shook one by one.

" Nice to meet you young man I'm Yanagi " the old man introduced himself followed by the spike head.

" Bolt Tanner, nice to meet you Jason. But just call me Bolt. "

" Blister. How's it going? "

" What are you doing here Jason? " Yusei asked.

" Hey what's up? " Leo greeted.

" Jason, Leo really shouldn't be here " the older male scolded.

" I know, I know, but there looking for a duelist called the Black Rose " Jason explained before he noticed Dexter step back in fear because of Yusei's marker.

" Hey, come on that's rude " Jason said scolding the brown head by flicking him in the head. " Jeez, haven't you heard never judge a book by it's appearance? And people say I'm bad. "

" By the way where's your sister? " Yusei asked Leo noticing she wasn't around.

" She didn't wanna come. And also this is my best friend Dexter "

" Uh hello " Dexter greeted making Leo ramble on before Jason noticed a certain envelope in his hand.

" I see you were invited to the Fortune Cup as well " Jason noted.

" Yep. You too? " Yusei asked.

" Hmm " Jason nodded his head showing the proof getting Leo all excited.

" Sweet! I get to duel both of you! I get to duel both of you! But this time I'm gonna take both of you down. "

" Don't get to confidant now " Jason said patting him on the shoulder before Yusei began to grip his right arm in pain.

" What's wrong?! " Yanagi asked.

" It hurts just like before... " Yusei said confusing them all except for Jason.

" Before? " Bolt asked.

" When it first appeared. The Crimson Dragon " Yusei said before Jason began to feel pain come from his arm as well.

( (Grunting in pain) My mark's acting up to?! Then that means there's another Chosen here, just like Kushano said. ) Jason said to himself before the crowd began to run away in fear.

" Get out of here! "

" It's the Black Rose! " the duelists cried out in fear before a small twister appeared and immediately the masked duelist from before got ready as if he was waiting for this. Afterwards multiple black thorn branches sprouted from the ground and then pierced the nearby buildings causing chaos to who ever got on their path

However much to everyone's surprise the thorns were stopped by large shard's of purple crystals sprouting out of the ground.

Nearby Jason and Yusei managed to avoid the attack and soon stared at a dragon concealed in the mist with it's scales appearing to resemble rose petals that roared away

" Who's dragon is that? " Yusei asked.

" I don't know, but it sure ain't friendly " Jason noted before the smoke cleared up revealing a figure wearing a white mask and black cloak including long dark burgundy colored hair that went down.

Then all of the sudden the masked duelist from the duel earlier wearing a blue hoodie ran forward and confronted the black rose.

" That's enough! " the masked duelist from earlier said getting her attention and noticed that he to had a dragon with four glowing eyes but this thing was made out of pure crystal and didn't have any wings.

" So, you dare challenge the black rose?! " the figure asked appearing to be female with her voice ringing from behind the mask.

" It would seem so. After all I've been searching for you " the duelist wearing the blue hoodie said as he was about to draw the first card but all of the sudden a strange red mark appeared on the Black Roses right arm shaped like a claw.

And just at that exact same time a mark appeared on the masked duelists left arm taking the shape of a star with a symbol of the sun right in the middle of it.

A gasp was heard from the black rose behind the figures mask.

" Your arm! You also have a mark! " the black rose pointed out.

" I do " the masked duelist said not backing down before he approached her.

" Stay away from me! " the black rose cried out before played a card creating a blinding light.

However the masked duelist also played a card making a massive dark crystal appear before him taking everyone by surprise.

But once the light was gone he turned around and noticed Jason and Yusei had glowing red marks on their arms as well.

" The two of you also have crimson marks as well " the masked duelist said before they stopped glowing.

" We do " Jason spoke up.

" But the question is who are you? " the albino spoke up.

" The Signer's and The Chosen. Were all tied together. However just know, that I'm a friend. And you will see me again. Till then goodbye " the masked duelist said before he began to walk away in flash of light.

( Who was he? This doesn't make any sense. But I know who one of the chosen are. Plus if my guess is right then he'll be there to. )

" Leo and Dexter? Can you both get back home alright? " Jason inquired.

" Yeah, we'll be fine " the blue green haired male twin said making the albino nod. " Alright, i'll be back. I just need to talk Yusei and I will come back okay? "

" Got it. I'll let Luna know " Leo said before he and Dexter began to make their way home.

" You sure that was a wise move? " the elderly old man asked.

" Don't worry they'll be fine. Anyway's I got some things to fill you up on Yusei, just not here " Jason said with the older male nodding.

" I bet. Because I've got some stuff to tell you to. "

It now shows Blister's place.

Only a while ago both Tanner and Yanagi had decided to head to bed while Blister went somewhere else.

Jason had told his friend everything that had happened and afterwards Yusei told him what had been going on for the last few days such as the facility, getting his runner back with the help of Blister and just recently Jack stopped by giving him Stardust Dragon.

" Geez, the Facility? That blows. But how'd you get out of there? " Jason inquired.

" I dueled the Warden and beated him, barely. "

" By any chance was he like one of those real round guys? Like in those comic books where they cheat and stuff? " Jason asked.

" Yeah. He wouldn't even keep his part of the deal until Goodwin showed up. "

" The director himself? " Jason said a little bit surprised. " Man, I don't know how you do it. Either you got an insane amount of luck or something else. " the young albino rambled.

" (clearing throat) Now while I'm at it, Yusei? What's going on? How come your going to the Fortune Cup? "

Yusei didn't reply as he was focused on his runner and threw the young albino his envelope. Afterwards he opened it up and took out a picture shocking him greatly.

" Seriously?! Rally, Tank, Nervin and Blitz are in trouble? "

" Yeah, and Goodwin says if I don't go, there gonna pay the price " Yusei said giving him more details making Jason hit the wall and grunt in anger and called himself down.

" Does Jack know anything about this? "

" I asked the same thing and he said no. But Blister said he would go check up on them and try to get them some where safe. "

" Whoa, okay, that's good to hear " the albino exclaimed sighing before Yusei decided to ask a question.

" How about you? Why is Goodwin making you participate Jason? "

" I'm doing it for the same reason I came here, to give Jack a piece of my mind. But there's also this " the young albino said raising the sleeve for his right arm and showing his mark.

" I saw the mark on your arm earlier, Yusei, and I have one to. "

" When did you get that? " Yusei asked a little surprised to hear this.

" It appeared around the same time the Crimson Dragon appeared. Afterwards Slade picked me up and told me some stuff. Said that the same night it appeared it meant that the time would come for the Signer's to gather along with the Chosen being selected. "

" Selected for what? "

" I don't really know. But my cards started speaking to me. I was told that the Chosen are tied together with the Signers and that I'm one of the 4.

" That was defiantly her " the masked duelist was now gazing towards the Kaiba Dome.

" She's one of the Signers and including that man. Not to mention another Chosen has been found. Two remain. "

The figure then removed his mask and took off his hoodie. He appeared to be at most likely at the age of 14. He had dark burgundy colored hair with a single strand going down his face and had brown eyes.

" The question is who? I hope that I'm able to find them. "

He then gazed at the moon. " As for you Akiza, I hope that we won't have to fight.

To be continued.

Next time

The Fortune Cup Begins!
