Sunday, June 21st, 2043 (31 years in the future)
6:30 PM
Regan looked through her watery vision as a car flew over her head. Yusei jutted to the right and a car tumbled by like a western tumble weed just missing her own bike.
"Go left!" Nile shouted in her head and Regan turned just as an eighteen wheeler went through the guard rail on the other side of the bridge and flipped over landing in a loud crash where her bike would have been.
"Thanks," She whispered and the familiar sound of Ra reached her ears. "Yugi…"
She made her mode of transportation go faster as she flew passed Yusei. The large yellow god appeared in front of her as it went through the bridge on the other side a few hundred meters from her. She slowed down as the brakes were not as good as they were before the accident and grabbed her deck when she stopped. Something large grabbed Ra by his tail out of the air and slammed him into the pavement in front of her. She flinched when she took off her helmet. She felt Yugi's presence in the mess.
"What the hell is big enough to toss an Egyptian God around?" Yusei asked from behind her.
"I don't think Ra has any attack points due to the way it was summoned, but in a form like this I'm thinking the creature has about four thousand attack points." She told him as she placed on her duel disk. She didn't need it to summon monsters, but it certainly helped to hold them if she was also tossed around.
"Four thousand attack points?!"
"It doesn't matter; I have monsters way stronger than that."
"Like what?"
"Regan, you don't have the energy to spend like this." Nile told her.
'I don't care if I pass out after this is over, Yugi is in there.'
"I'm not worried about you passing out."
'It's fine, nothing is going to stop this, and if they do…'
"We know nothing about that card and if it was the cause of what happened to you before."
Regan stopped listening as she pulled out a card from her extra deck. Suddenly a black, yellow and white dragon came from underneath the bridge and landed over top of Ra.
"That's Malefic Paradox Dragon!" Yusei exclaimed behind her. "That card shouldn't exist here."
"I don't care what it is, it's fucking dead." Regan hissed as she heard Yugi shout from somewhere in the mess between the dragons. "Five-Headed Dragon, get rid of that creature!"
"Five-Headed Dragon, you have a Five-Headed Dragon?"
She didn't say anything as the creature that she had to destroy earlier came out of the sky grabbing Malefic Paradox Dragon as it passed. Her dragon ripped it to pieces with its five heads. She rushed towards Ra as he started to pick himself up off the ground. His mouth opened as it lowered his head to the ground and Yugi popped out.
"Yugi!" She called excitedly glad to see he was alright.
"Regan?" he started before she gave him a running hug. She winced letting him go. "What happened to you?"
"Oh you know the usual, but it doesn't matter, you're okay."
"How did you find me?" He asked looking around. She didn't get to answer as a giant yellow dragon flew overhead causing the sky to grow dark. "Regan dismiss Five-Headed Dragon!"
"What why? He's destroying all there other-" She didn't get to finish as the dragon came around and Yugi twisted her around as the dragon destroyed Ra in a single blast and Yugi shouted in her ear. "Yugi…"
"I'm fine," He said breathing heavily in her ear. "But, Malefic Truth Dragon has an ability that destroys other monsters."
A pain shot threw her chest as her dragon was destroyed and she screamed in pain. Malefic Truth Dragon turned around in the air towards them. Yugi tightened his grip around her as if bracing for impact. She took her backup card out of her deck box and held it up breaking from his grip. A bright light descended from a dark sky that had formed and the yellow dragon stopped in its tracks looking upwards. The light broke and Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon roared loud enough for probably the whole city to hear.
"Blue-Eyes; use your ability to get rid of Malefic Truth Dragon before it hurts anyone else."
The white dragon roared again. Malefic Truth Dragon charged at her dragon and her dragon responded with a charging beam.
"Shining Neutron Blast!"
The dragon released its attack as she finished calling the attack and Malefic Truth Dragon was hit by it sending it straight through the highway. The dragon's beam came up and pierced the sky making the clouds disappear. Regan sighed as she sent a silent thank you and the dragon disappeared.
"What in bloody hell was that?!" A British accent broke through her thoughts and Nile practically jumped with glee until Regan turned around to see the blond guy from Yusei's duel runner. He had about the same build as Seto except the blond guy didn't have the same intelligence that her brother dripped off.
"It was a Blue-Eyes." She responded standing tall, she had feeling he had a bit of an ego.
"A Blue-Eyes, that's impossible, only a Kaiba has one." Jack retorted crossing his arms.
"Um, Jack-" Yusei started but Regan cut him off.
"I am a Kaiba."
"How could a shrimp like you be related to a Kaiba?"
"What gives you the right to even talk to me that way?"
"You think you're higher status than me small fry?"
"I know I'm of a higher status than you, there's no thought process about it."
"How about we use cards instead of words to prove your theory?"
"What? Can't compete with words?"
"Of course I can, but your voice is annoying the hell out of me."
"Nice excuse, did you come up with that yourself or did someone help you?"
"Perhaps cards aren't your thing; we can settle this in a fight."
She drew her swords with style twirling them around with her aura glowing through them. "I hope you brought your big boy shoes to the party."
"Jack enough, Regan is Seto Kaiba's sister." Yusei said.
Jack turned away from her and to Yusei with a surprised look on his face. "His sister? But that's even more impossible."
"She's the real deal."
"You should listen to your friend there." She replied slyly though she certainly didn't feel like being sly as pain ripped through her chest again, she didn't react to it. "On the way here a dumbass of an officer-"
"Sounds like a Trudge-"
She glared at him as she cut him off for cutting her off. "He thought he was being smart and I FTK'd him on the first turn of the duel."
"You what? She what?!" Jack said turning to Yusei and a slightly annoyed look on his face came up. "So that's what took you so long."
"A different Five-Headed Dragon appeared and caused a slight speed bump." Yusei said before turning towards her and Yugi. "Long time no see Yugi."
"Nice to see you too Yusei."
"You know each other?" Regan asked the both of them.
"It was before I went to Egypt, a couple of days before actually. You know the saving the world or in this case the existence of duel monsters."
"I see." She turned to Yusei and bowed slightly. "Sorry for giving you a hard time."
He waved it off.
"Do I get an apology?" Jack asked. "I happen to be friends with Yusei
"How dumb are you?" Regan asked giving him a side glance. "Why would I apologize to you for being so rude?"
"For being rude?"
"How do you function without brain cells?"
"You little-"
"You sure know how to pick them Yugi." Yusei laughed slightly.
"Don't cut me off Yusei!" Jack yelled at him before turning back to her. "Wait you're dating Yugi Muto?"
"At least you have some thought process in there." She replied with a smirk that matched her brother's.
Jack grabbed her by the collar of her jacket. "I really don't like you're attitude."
"If you think you scare me you're-" She started but was cut off by the pain in her chest. Her sight made doubles of Jack's face and she fell against the blond man.
00000
Yugi was going to step in when Jack grabbed her collar in frustration. He wasn't sure why she was provoking him. Then, she suddenly fell over. Jack's expression went from mad to surprise.
"I didn't do it I swear." Jack started as he stood there holding the girl up and Yugi walked over to her.
He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to make her lean on him instead of the blond male.
"I'm good just a dizzy spell." She said attempting to stand on her own two feet without much success.
Yugi picked her up. "You push yourself too hard."
"Sorry."
"Does she apologize for everything?" Jack asked.
"You don't know much about Canadians, do you?" Regan commented with a tinge of pain in her voice.
"She apologizes for a lot of things." Yugi said as he noticed his fingers were feeling something wet. He looked down and noticed that his girlfriend was bleeding. "Why are you bleeding?"
"The puzzle stabbed me in the chest again."
"This is the third time."
"Freshly stabbed, this is only the second time."
"We need to stick rubber on those corners."
"That's what I said, Nile said no."
"I don't mean to interrupt, but we should probably get out of here before the media and sector security show up." Yusei commented looking around. "You can give us details on what's happening in a safe place."
Yugi nodded and Regan fainted. "Dammit."
"She's had a rough day from the little bit she's spent with me, she passed out earlier as well."
Yugi sighed, "She used too much aura and the duel monster attacks I doubt had much help. I don't think I can make it on the duel runner she brought with her like this."
"I'll take her, my duel runner has bars. Though it would be nice to have a car or something, it would be easier if another duel monster appeared."
"Do we absolutely need a car?" Jack asked cautiously as sirens started to fill the air.
"Too late now," Yusei commented as he pulled out a second helmet from his bike and placed it on Regan's head before getting on the runner. Yugi placed her on it hoping she didn't spend too much energy it would affect her health. Yusei lowered the bar and Yugi took another look at her. "She'll be okay."
"I know, but still."
"Enough talk, we gotta go! The media is showing up!" Jack shouted as he ran to a white runner with a giant white wheel.
Yugi turned to the runner that Regan rode in on as a helicopter appeared in the distance. He put on the helmet that was left on the bike and jumped on.
"Can you ride a duel runner?"
"I have a license for a motorcycle, that's going to have to do." Yugi answered starting it up.
They left the destroyed bridge and the monument behind with Jack in the lead. Eventually, Yusei took the lead once they got off the highway and stopped in a little community with a fountain in the center. A little house sat in front of them just as a lady came out of it with a dark blue dress and dark brown hair in a bun.
"Ha! I thought I heard a familiar engine. You better not cause any trouble while you're here Jack!" The lady shouted down at the white suited man.
"Why me today," Jack grumbled.
"What was that?!"
"Yes Zora," Jack said in a panic.
"We'll try to keep things quiet." Yusei told her taking off his helmet. "I hope you don't mind if a few other people coming?"
"Of course you can have guests while you're here Yusei." Zora smiled as she started walking away. "And I know that you will keep things in line."
"Who was that?" Yugi asked as she got far enough away so she couldn't hear them. He didn't bother taking off his helmet as he didn't know if the children across the plaza would recognize and swarm him.
"That's Yusei's landlord. I figured by now you would have your own place." Jack replied getting off the duel runner.
"I happened to like it here." Yusei answered. "Yugi, how are you feeling?"
"I'm good enough to take her." Yugi answered as he got off the duel runner and picked Regan's limp body off the duel runner. Yusei opened the garage door and lead the way inside with his duel runner. Yusei pointed to the single couch in the room and Yugi placed her on it. He sighed, they were safe there, but what had happened to Atem and Bakura and Duel Academy Island?
Yusei's runner's screen lit up and the duelist rushed over to it. Yugi walked over and stood back a ways to eavesdrop but not be noticed.
"Yusei, where the hell are you? I've been trying to contact you for the past couple of hours!" A female with burgundy hair and brown eyes shouted in anger.
"Sorry Akiza, I've been a little busy." Yusei said giving a side glace at Yugi. "What's the problem?"
"What's the problem, there's two guys fighting duel monsters outside of the restaurant I was sitting at debating whether or not to tell you I was in town. One of them had an Egyptian god until it was destroyed half an hour ago. We need a bit of back up and possibly a car. Three people can't ride on the same bike."
"I'll call a car." Jack offered as he started for his duel runner.
"Was that Jack?"
"It is I."
"Who are you calling?"
"Someone I'm going to regret calling." The blond tall duelist sighed as he reached his duel runner.
"I'll be there shortly," Yusei told her.
A relieved look flashed on her face. "Thanks Yusei."
The call ended and Yusei pushed his bike outside. Yugi followed him. "I'm going too."
"You should rest here, Regan said that you had summoned two Egyptian God monsters and for the last couple of hours have been supporting them. Now both are destroyed. I really don't think you can handle another battle right now." He was about to object when Yusei continued. "On top of that, if Regan wakes up and the only person that is here is Jack, there might not be an apartment to come back to."
Yugi looked back at the apartment where Jack was saying something at his screen with Regan on the couch still out cold. He turned back to Yusei and sighed. "I suppose, though I'm sure Regan wouldn't destroy the apartment. She's well mannered."
"Jack's not so much. Also, are these two people your friends?"
"They are; there is an albino named Ryou Bakura and the other one looks like my brother, he's Atem."
"How do you propose we get them back here without them retaliating?"
"I'm guessing Regan wasn't all that thrilled that you were willing to help."
"Not in the slightest."
Yugi placed his hands in his pockets, "It shouldn't be a problem; Atem will recognize you right away."
"How?"
He placed on a small smirk, "Ask him when you get there."
00000
Yugi waited on the stairs as Jack paced. An hour or so had gone by and twilight had settled. Yugi had already bandaged up Regan's wounds carefully without taking off her shirt. The last thing he wanted was to do that without permission and her brother magically appearing. Suddenly, the door opened and Yusei, Akiza, Atem, Bakura and some girl with black hair and glasses walked in.
"Yugi!" Atem exclaimed happily. "Thanks the gods you're safe."
"You too," Yugi answered with a smile as he stood up to face them. "I hope neither of you are hurt badly."
"I think were in decent condition. Also sorry about Slifer," Bakura apologized. "He got caught in crossfire."
"It's fine, as long as you guys didn't get to beat up that's all that matters."
"Yugi? As in Yugi Muto Yugi?!" The girl in black hair squeaked jumping over the rail and beside him suddenly. "Oh my god I can't believe-ah!"
Jack pulled the girl away. "Sorry about Carly, she's a reporter and our only mode of transportation by car."
Yugi rubbed the back of his head in slight embarrassment. "It's alright."
"Hey Yusei, Crow is also coming for a visit."
"Crow too? It's like you guys planned this." Yusei replied as he came down the stairs.
"We didn't just good timing I guess, he'll be here soon."
"What happened to Regan?" Bakura questioned with a bit of concern as he reached the bottom of the stairs.
"She's alright, just worn out from using a lot of aura and shadow magic." Yugi told him with a frown before changing the subject. "How are you guys?"
"Shook up a bit from knowing that we are forty-eight years into the future, but it does narrow down the suspects on who did this."
"It was definitely Them. Jason had Synchro Monsters when he attacked us back then. It was bound to happen that their base of operations took into account of bringing us to a world they we know nothing about would give them the home field advantage." Atem continued. "Can't say I mind it too much, dueling has been taken to a whole new level and it could give us an extreme advantage. Though, I'm not pleased to hear about those malefic monsters."
"Can we go back to why the monsters are appearing all over the world?" Akiza asked taking a seat in the chair in front of the computer. "Also maybe starting at the beginning of your story, who attacked you and brought you here?"
"We don't know what name they actually go by; the name that we gave is Them. As for why," Yugi started turning his eyes to Regan. "They want her for-"
The sounds of a door closing and a boxes dropping from the top of the staircase interrupted him. He turned around to see an orange haired man and a black haired older man with bushy eye brows.
"What's your problem man, they were telling a story." The orange haired man complained, but the older man seemed to look down at Yugi and Atem completely freaked out.
"Ah Crow, glad you could make it." Jack told him.
"Met this officer as I arrived, he's got a truck outside-"
"You… there are two of you." The older man interrupted pushing passed Crow. "How is this…?"
"Trudge?" Yusei questioned as the man came up to Yugi and pushed him against the wall violently. Yugi didn't even notice that he had a gun out until he noticed the gleam in the cold light "What the hell are you doing?!"
"He's a demon!" Trudge yelled. "Tell me why you are the same age as you were when you did that game with me forty-nine years ago, demon?!"
"What are you talking about? I don't even…" Yugi started, but a memory came back to him. "Wait, your Ushio Trudge from Domino High's hall monitor, right?"
"You ruined my life!"
"Can we lower the gun and talk over on what actually happened?" Atem tried to step in when Trudge turned the gun towards him.
"I already know it was mostly you. Both of you are demons or monsters, they are the only answers that makes sense on how you are both still kids and you did all that weird magic shit!"
"If I remember correctly you're the one who attacked us. We were defending ourselves." Yugi insisted and the gun was turned back to him. He wasn't sure to be mad or not.
"Don't turn it around and make yourself the victim. You did that penalty game and now you stand here back for more aren't you? Once wasn't enough demon?"
Yugi was about to comment when a multicolored lights appeared at a lightning speed and very close to Trudge's neck. Regan stood in front of him breathing heavily like she had just came from running a good distance. A dangerous glare was placed towards Trudge.
"How fast do you want to die?" She hissed lowly as a chill ran up his spine.
"Regan!" Yugi exclaimed. He never thought she would ever threaten a life for real.
"What is this light, why does it sting?"
"Remove your weapon from Yugi or I will have no problems removing you from this world." She replied coldly. The aura swords had a dark purple start to form into the bright colors.
Yugi clenched his jaw as he recognized it as shadow magic. 'Regan calm down, he's just a little flustered.'
'Calm down?! He has a gun pointed at you. Until he removes it I will use all of my abilities I have to remove it.' She hissed back mentally Trudge seemed to be focused on the sword as it wondering what to do.
'Shadow magic isn't the answer here, he's going to notice and it's only going to tick him off more.'
'Then let him be furious with me.'
'This isn't your battle.'
'It is when it's my boyfriend on the other end of the-'
"You're like him." Trudge said breaking into their conversation. "I thought I recognize that sensation from you. You have the same powers as these demons only more. You're a monster!"
Regan flinched. "We're not demons or monsters, we're only human."
"Lier."
"We're not monsters! We have abilities that make us different, but we're human! But of course I doubt you could see that. I've heard the story about you from Tristan, you did some awful things and Yugi and Atem saved you from destroying yourself from your greed."
"They didn't save me, they scarred me for life! They hunted me down-"
"You don't have a clue on what it feels like to be hunted down because you're different! You think that with these powers we hunt people down? It's quite the opposite, people like you who try to use us for their benefit that do the hunting!"
"Regan…" Yugi tried to intervene, but she ignored him as she placed herself in front of the gun. He started panicking. "What are you-?"
"If you don't want to use us and just want to kill a monster or a demon, then I'm the only in the room qualified for that. Leave the others alone. They've never caused death because of their existence."
Trudge didn't say anything as his jaw clenched.
Regan grabbed the gun and placed the barrel on her head. "Come on! If you want to save the world from a monster then do it!"
'Regan!' Yugi shouted at her through their link.
'He won't do it.' Regan replied angrily.
'How can you be so sure?'
'Because he's-'
"You're not who I'm after"
Regan disarmed him with her blade sending the gun to the other side of the room. "Don't call people monsters when you really aim for revenge."
Trudge backed away as Yugi watched her put her blade away and walk outside with her coat trailing behind her leaving in anger.
He glared at Trudge before starting to climb the stairs.
"Wait," Akiza called rushing over to the stairs. "I'll go make sure she stays safe."
"You don't have to, this is something bigger."
"I think I understand what she said about you guys. You should stay here and explain things." She replied taking a side glance at Atem before turning to Trudge. "And Trudge should calm his ass down and listen to get the truth."
"Calm down, I think I'm reacting perfectly fine to these monsters."
"Be careful how you throw that word around, you might end up with more than what you bargain for." Akiza growled left through the door slamming it shut.
Crow whistled. "You make the wrong enemies Trudge, two females with super powers. Not the best combination."
"And we appreciate to have the knowledge that people are scared of us when we walk by because we're monsters." Bakura started politely, but there was an angry tone in his voice. Nile appeared beside the albino with her arms crossed and whispered something in his ear. "Soon on that note, can someone please fill me in on how Akiza seems to be the only one who understands?"
"Akiza knows how it feels to be discriminated for having abilities that other people have a hard time understanding." Yusei answered as he turned to Trudge. "I hope you didn't come here empty handed to just attack people who were dragged here from the past."
00000
Regan's blades clashed against her monster's sword as she danced across the roof of the house. She had woken up from a nightmare of Yugi being killed when she saw that officer holding a gun to the very person she was having a nightmare about and she snapped. She shouldn't have, but her emotions were a rollercoaster. Something about this time made it hard to keep herself from losing it. She couldn't tell if it was from the city's hidden dread that it drowned in or if it was the people that accumulated in the rooms below that had such strong auras that it gave her a headache. Nile had stayed behind to allow her some space to think things out. She would fill in her later on the events downstairs. But the first thing she did inform her on was the fact that They were behind the attack.
She jumped over an attack and she countered attacked against Black Luster Soldier. A machine sound overcame the sounds of the blades and three balls of light came towards them. She glared and charged up her swords when she realized Black Luster Soldier wasn't going to do anything. The attack must have been higher than his. She released to aura slashes at two of the attacks and crosscut the third as it flew near. She charged the swords even more without hesitation. Her aura was overcharged from the people in the room she was in and she released the excess charge as a Cyber End Dragon appeared from the darkness. Her attack sliced it in two places and the creature disappeared. She gripped her swords. Her attacks were growing stronger in such a small amount of time. Hours ago she was barely able to defeat a twenty-six hundred attack point monster, but now she destroyed a fusion monster with four thousand attack points. She didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but it helped if stronger monsters were going to appear in the future.
She placed her swords away and sighed slightly turning to the dark part of the roof where the chimney was. "Are you going to stand there all night or did you want to talk about something?"
"How did you know I was here?" The female said with burgundy hair asked as she came out of the darkness.
"I sensed you come up here not long after I did. Your aura is incredibly strong, like those of Yusei, Jack and that orange top downstairs. Your auras are a lot like my friends and my brothers."
"You sense aura?"
Regan nodded as she sat down on the roof. Black Luster Soldier continued to stand keeping watch.
The woman came over and sat down next to her. "My name is Akiza."
"Regan, but you probably already know that."
"I guess I did."
"So, what are you doing up here?"
"I thought we could discuss about what happened down stairs."
"I don't wish to-"
"Between a proclaimed monster and a proclaimed monster."
Regan eyed her slightly. "What do you know about being called a monster?"
"I was alienated as a child by my own parents because of my extremely powerful psychic abilities that make me different from the rest of humanity. And as the years went on my anger grew towards people who called me a monster which increased my powers to the point where I couldn't control them. It eventually led to a nickname called the Black Rose Witch as people thought I was a witch for being able to use my cards as weapons. It wasn't until a few years ago that Yusei showed me that I wasn't a monster, only human." Akiza said which surprised Regan. "So what is it that makes you a monster?"
Regan smiled slightly as she pulled out her sword. "Well I'm an aura user, one of the last in my time. And unfortunately even before I even existed, a group of people had wanted to use me as the ultimate, unbreakable weapon to take over the world and destroy probably a good chunk of it."
"I don't know much on aura, but isn't that a bit extreme to try and do as aura in a single person is limited."
"You're right that it has its limitations, which is why it makes me so special. I was born from a father who was a Shadow User. He had the linage all the way to when shadow magic was used thousands of years ago in Egypt and a mother who apparently was heir to the magic kingdom of Camelot. Apparently these people had tracked their bloodlines to find out that their child was going to be an Aura User, with a very high amount of reserves."
"What is an aura user exactly?"
"Someone who can read and feel aura and if powerful enough manifestation their aura into shields, fields, armor, you name it in the line of attack and defense. This sword is called an aura sword."
"And your aura is multicolored. I thought aura was supposed to be a single color."
"That's where the fun begins to make their plan even more successful. My aura should be a solid color, but since it's not even a whole aura with actually makes it unstable. My puzzle keeps it stable. And if it becomes unstable, such as someone else took off my item; my aura would take a life of its own. Then, a series of steps happen and in the end kills a lot of people if not stabilized. This makes me important to them because I don't have a limitation once I hit the reserves. So far it's an endless amount of energy until my body gives out. It also doesn't help that if I go into the reserved, I actually suck other people's aura instead of my own. Just being in the same room as everyone downstairs actually revitalized my aura to the point of excess and I'm not on the verge of passing out again." Regan explained in the simplistic detailed way possible. "But this power isn't without cost. A lot of people have been hurt such as my parents when I was taken from them fifteen and a half years ago and people have died protecting me. Yugi's family was torn apart because his father had to go into hiding for knowing things he shouldn't have."
"So that's why you said what you said down there."
"Not all of it was true; I couldn't have killed Trudge even if I wanted to, which I almost did. I'm not capable of killing anyone and I don't like seeing people die either. It hurt that he called me a monster when I threatened him, but there was something more to it than just being a demon or monster."
"At the risk of your own life?"
"Yugi's life is more important than my own. It would be better for the world if I was dead, that way no one can use me." Regan told her solemnly. The girl shifted uncomfortably and Regan placed a small smirk on her face to lighten the mood. "Though I was cheating death slightly."
"How were you cheating Death? You were tempting him!" Akiza raised her voice at her in frustration.
"I turned the safety on when I grabbed the gun."
Akiza facepalmed herself. "I'm not sure whether to say you're a genius or an idiot."
"I'd like to think I'm human." A car pulled up in front of the house. "Who's that?"
"I called our expert on the duel monster's spirit realm."
Regan and Akiza sat on the roof a bit in silence long after the vehicle and the truck left before they got off the roof of the house. They entered the house to see four bikes that weren't in there earlier with two boxes on the table. Two kids were standing over at Yugi, Atem and Bakura, the boy being more enthusiastic about seeing them then the girl.
"I can't believe you all standing here looking awesome!" The boy exclaimed loudly.
"Leo give them some space." The girl sighed. "You've been asking questions and sucking up to them for the past half hour."
"You such a joy kill Luna; you should be honored to be in the presence of these people. Sure one of them is technically a zombie-"
"Hey, I am not a zombie, I'm not mindless or something." Atem interrupted with his arms crossed.
"Did you die?"
"Erm sort of,"
"And now you're alive. That would be reanimation."
"Actually my spirit was given a body by a freak accident. So my body as you called it was never actually reanimated."
"Uh…" Leo turned to Luna. "What would you call that exactly?"
"It would be called resurrection, Regan answered as Akiza and she walked down the stairs. "Where's Trudge?"
"He left, thought it was better to think about things after we told our half of the story." Yugi answered. "Everyone is up to date with all the information except for Akiza."
"He didn't leave without a goodbye as he brought these babies over with some paint." The orange hair guy replied with a cheeky smile. "You apparently scared the day lights out of him when you FTK'd him back on the highway, oh and the bill for the damaged bike."
Regan frowned slightly, "I see."
"Are you okay?" Luna asked tilting her head to the side.
"Ya, I'm good." She smiled slightly at the girl. "Just so ready to figure out why they brought us here."
"Who are They?" Leo asked cautiously.
"I thought everyone was up to speed."
"Leo wasn't paying attention." Luna answered with a sigh. "And you wonder why your marks are low."
"That was low." Leo pouted.
"We'll fill you guys in as we paint up these guys." Yusei told him as he grabbed the box on the table and threw a mask at Regan. "A little art work gets the bundled emotions out."
"If you're referring to my discussion earlier-" Regan started but Yusei threw a red can of paint at her, she barely caught it as it flew overhead.
"It doesn't matter how crazy the abilities are, the only monsters that are around are the ones that you let take the wheel."
"Good thing I like doing things myself."

Joey paced back in forth in the gymnasium. They managed to put up defenses against the monsters that were ransacking the island and were slowly trying to take back the rest of the school to get to food and water. The staff members were actually cooperating with the crazy world he was already accustomed to about the situation. Tristan came through the doors with an injured student over his shoulder. Fonda took the student from him and took him to the place with the other students that were being treated. Tristan walked up to him with a frown.
"Any luck?" Joey asked him quietly.
"Do you want the bad news or the good news first?" Tristan questioned.
"Start with the good news."
"Sheppard and the staff members have made it half way to the food storage. And the medical section is now available."
"That's good, what's the bad news?"
"I don't think Yugi, Atem, Regan or Bakura are on the island anymore. I found Bakura's PDA by the red dorm, the last place where they were last seen and contacted. There is no signal on the other PDAs and all messages say they are out of service."
"That's impossible; I thought Kaiba made sure these things would work anywhere like a satellite phone."
"That's why I don't think they are on the island anymore." Tristan said as he pulled out an envelope. "I also found this by the Slifer Dorm; I think this was a message from that psycho that was giving us those notes before."
"'You didn't agree with my terms. Now time will eat what is precious, like time ate his children.' What the hell does that mean?"
"I don't know. But that's why I don't think they are on the island anymore."
"If time did eat them, where the hell did they go?"
Suddenly the doors slammed opened as a several students ran in with three Zera the Mants chasing after them. The fiend monsters stopped chasing them when the other people in the room started screaming.
"White Lightning Attack." A familiar voice entered the room and three attacks came from the white dragons destroying the ritual monsters.
"Kaiba!" Joey exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"Saving my school, what do you think I'm doing?" Kaiba growled in annoyance.
"Well…"
"Where's Sheppard?"
"He's with some other staff members trying to get to supplies."
"Where are the rest of the geek squad and my sister?"
Joey turned to Tristan. They had a staring contest and Joey lost. "Well, the funny thing is… we have no idea?"
"What do you mean?"
"All we found was this note and Bakura's PDA, we've sent messages to the others but they all say they are out of service. Téa is out on the island looking for any clues, but nothing." Tristan explained. "I went out on a search for them and was gone for a few hours. I just got back. They aren't anywhere."
"That's impossible, they would have to be under a lot of rock and there isn't anything like that here. Even in the volcano, there is still connection." Kaiba stated as he grabbed the envelope from Joey. He opened it and read the line quickly. He clenched his fist crumpling the paper in rage. Joey hadn't seen him this mad since the orichalcos incident. "Dammit! They took them."
"They as in Them? Where could They have taken them in such a short time of going out of contact?" Joey questioned.
"It's not where, but when." Kaiba replied. "What was that dumbass from that group using when he attacked?"
"Uh, tuners and Synchros why?"
"Then that's where they went, to the future."
"Just wonderful, but what's that got to do about us right now, there are monsters here and I don't think its settled to just the island."
"It's not, it's like that fucking Atlantis acid trip all over again only this time it's a group of psychos, and it started here."
"So we have to find out who is causing the rift between the worlds."
"Not just our world and the duel monsters spirit realm, but the rifts of time itself." Kaiba growled lowly looking around. "And they are more than likely have a plan to make sure that their plans are not interrupted."
