Rain Was Falling Heavy On The Face Of a Boy, Under Him a Pool Of Blood Was Forming, Mixing With The Rain, He Was Gasping For Air….Fighting With Everything He Has To Survive…..But It Was Already Too Late….The Pain Combined With The Wound Was Proving Too Munch
"Aaah….Poor Creature" a Deep Voice Came In Front Of Him, Using What Little Strength He Could Muster, He Saw a Large Man Wearing a Black Overcoat With a Equally Dark Fedora Covering His Face
"H-Help M-Me" He Begged While Extending a Trembling Hand Forward "I-I Don't W-Want T-To Die…."
"Fear Not, I Am Here To Save You" He Then Produced a Card Out Of Thin Air "I Have Plans For You, I Can't Allow a Soul Like Yours Go To Waste" The Mysterious Figure Them Threw The Card At Him And It Was….Absorbed By Him
That's When He Felt His Conscience Slipping Away…The Last Thing He Heard Right Before Darkness Took Him Was The Mysterious Figure Talking "Be Proud, For I, Don Thousand, God Of The Barian World, Proclaim You a Barian Emperor"

Michael Then Opened His Eyes, Groaning He Looked Out Of The Window…And He Immediately Took Notice How…Weird The Sky Was, He Turned On His Bed To Look What Time It Was, But The Clock Was Going Haywire
"Sleep Well?" Came a Familiar Voice
Quickly Getting Up From His Bed, He Saw None Other Than…
"Galaxy Queen?" His Eyes Were Wide Open With Pure Shock "Wh-What's Happening?"
She Simply Smirked And Pointed At The Couch In Front Of Her "Have a Seat Sweetheart, We Have To Talk About Something"
Michael Then Carefully Made His Way To The Couch And Sat Down, Fidgeting In His Position
"We Know How Troubled You Are" She Tilted Her Head Sideways "Ever Since The Day You Lost Tachyon Dragon We All Felt a Part Of You Dying Too"
"You Don't Say" He Then Looked Downwards "That Card Was a Gift Of My Dad Before He Died, And Now It's Lost" He Sinked His Face Into His Hands "I Am Such Fucking Failure"
"Language" She Smirked "What If I Tell You That There Is a Way To Recover Tachyon Dragon?"
He Immediately Got Up And Grabbed Her By The Shoulders "How?! Tell Me!"
She Reached From Within Her Robes And Took a Card Out "You Will Need This "Michael" "
With Trembling Hands He Received The Card, His Brow Twisting With Confusion "The Seventh One? What's That?"
"That Is Who You Are, Savan" She Then Pointed To Something Behind Him "See For Yourself"
And Behind Him There Was a Mirror, Reflecting The Image Of Something That Vaguely Resemble Himself
It Had Black Skin With Red Stripes Running Through Its Chest, Arms And Face, Two Red Gems Carved Into His Shoulders With Four Smaller Blue Gems Surrounding Them, His Face Was Lacking A Mouth And Nose, Instead There Was What Looked Like a Mask, With Two Spikes Rising From It, Which Also Had Two Crimson Stones Carved On Them, The Once Golden Colored Iris Now Replaced With a Deep Crimson Color, And Most Notably, The Same Symbol That Was In The Card He Was Holding Was Also Carved Into His Chest.
"Wh-What Is That T-Thing?" Michael Staggered Back
"That, I Am Afraid Is, You, Your Majesty, Your True Self" She Leaned Against The Arm Of Her Chair
He Then Looked At His Hands, Which Were Now Black. The Left One Had a Blue Gem And The Right One Had a Red Gem Carved Into Their Back.
"What Happens Now…?" He Turned To Her, Only To Find That She Disappeared, In Fact He Was Not In His Room Anymore But In Front Of a Giant Gate
"Now, We Must Open That Gate" She Simple Nodded Before Disappearing Into a Trail Of Shimmering Cosmic Dust, The Last Thing He Heard Was Her Voice Echoing "Be Not Afraid Your Majesty, For You Are a Barian"
The Words Ringed In His Mind As He Was Stared Down The Gigantic Structure, He Stepped Forward And Placed His Hands On The Gate, Feeling The Cool Rock Against The Palm Of His Hand, And So After Gathering Enough Courage He Pushed It Open And Then….
-
He Shot Himself Upwards From The Table, He Quickly Took a Look Out Of The Window And Saw…
"Birds….Okay" He Ran His Hand Through His Hair "It Was Just a Dream…"
As He Got Up From His Table He Noticed Something Falling From His Lap, Picking The Card His Eyes Went Wide….
"That's…The Same Card" His Hands Were Shaking Now, That Dream Was….Real.
But The Despair Was Suddenly Replaced With Hope, If That Really Happened, Then There Must Be a Way To Recover Tachyon Dragon! While It Was a Shot In The Dark, What Else He Had? He Was Quick To Reach For His PDA And Text Yuma
YUMA
M.G: Hey, U Up? 6 24 AM
Yuma: Now I Am. 6:36 AM
M.G: Need Ur Help, I Might Have Found A Way To Fix Tachyon Dragon 6:37 AM
Yuma: For Real? How? 6:41 AM
M.G: Come Here And I Will Tell U 6:42 AM
Settling Down His PDA And Leaning Against His Chair The Words Of Galaxy Queen Echoed On His Mind
"Be Not Afraid Your Majesty, For You Are a Barian" Those Words Caught His Attention.
He Turned On His Computer And Started To Make Some Researches On The Topic Of "Barians"
-
Yuma Was Getting Ready To Set Out For The Day, Even Though She Planned On Sleeping All Day Long, Michael Threw a Wrench In Her Plans With The Claim Of Fixing His Most Treasured Card, Given The Fact That This Was a Very Serious Topic And Meant a Lot To Him She Would Go This Extra Mile For Him.
"And Who Knows? Maybe He Will Finally Open His Heart" She Giggled As Such Tough Came Across Her Mind
These Toughs Hanged On Her Mind While She Made Her Way To The Obelisk Blue Boy Dorm, Wich Made Her Fail To Realize The Ra Yellow Behind Her
"Greetings Yuma, I See You Are Up Earlier" Bastion Crossed His Arms
Yuma Jumped Upon Hearing Her Friend Coming From Nowhere "Bastion!" She Turned To Him "Don't Sneak Up On People Like That! Especially a Girl!" She Stomped Her Feet On The Ground
"My Deepest Apologies If I Startled You, I Was Merely Curious What Got You Out Of Your Bed So Earlier On a Weekend No Less" He Cupped His Chin And Rubbed It
"A Friend Needs My Help" She Crossed Her Arms And Turned Her Face Away From Him
"I See, Then May I Ask To Join You?" He Crossed His Arms
"Don't You Have a Bunch Of Decks To Work On?" She Rolled Her Eyes
"Sadly No, I Am Lacking Data, Furthermore I Was Getting Cramped In My Room" He Smiled
"Ugh, Fine!" She Threw Her Hands Upwards "But You Better Not Bore My Friend With Your Boring Math Talk" She Shoved a Accusatory Finger On His Face.
"Rest Easy" He Removed Her Finger From His Face "I Shall Not Wear Your Companion With My Tedious Talk Of Math"
"Then Let's Go!" She Grabbed Him By The Arms And Dragged Him In The Direction Of The Obelisk Blue Dorm.

Michael Slammed His Face Against The Table In Frustration, He Had Spent 45 Minutes Searching For "Barians" And Nothing Came Of It, If He Wanted His Partner Back He Needed Dig To The Bottom Of This, But With Only a Card That Appeared Out Of The Nowhere After a Crazy Dream
He Then Heard a Knock On The Door, Thinking It Is Yuman He Quickly Rushed To It
"Yuma I-" But He Stopped Himself Upon Seeing That It Was Not His Friend Who Was There, But Instead Three Boys Dressed In The Obelisk Blue Colors, One Had Blue Hair And Half Moon Glasses, The Other Had Spiked Hair And Had a Expression Of a Utter Dumbass And The Third Had Black Hair And Pale Skin "Can I Help You?" He Said In a Monotonous Tone
The One In The Middle Simply Smirked As He Entered His Room "So You Are The Freshman That Uses Blue-Eyes Cards?" His Voice Was a Bit….Graveled
"Maybe" He Crossed His Arms While Arching an Eyebrow "Who Is Asking?"
"Chazz, Chazz Princenton" He Sat Down On His Couch, His Two "Friends" Following Right Behind Him "Pretty Cool Room You Have" His Eyes Wandered From The Dragon Action Figures To The Poster Of Odyssey
"Get To The Point Already, What Do You Want?" His Tone Of Voice Was Dripping With Frustration
Though It Was Clear That Chazz Did Not Liked The Way a Freshman Was Treating Him He Forced Himself To Still Smirk "You See, I Have a Proposition To You"
He Sighed And Shook His Head "What Kind Of Proposition?"
"I Could Take You Under My Wing, Trust Me With My Connections And Your Raw Power You Will Be Elevated To High Places"
"So, You Want Me To Become One Of Your Little Goons?" He Arched An Eyebrow "Yeah, No Chance" He Then Walked To The Door And Opened It "Now, If You'd Be So Kind And Leave, I Have a Friend Coming Over, And The Last Thing I Need Is Them Being Bothered By You"
He Growled Before Standing Up "You Don't Know You Are Messing With" Getting Right Up To His Face
Michael's Eyes Remained Uninterested As He Stared Back At Him "Yes I Do, You Are a Rich Brat Who Thinks Everyone Should Bow Down To You" His Voice Tough Disinterested Was Showing Hints Of Anger "Now, Get Out. Now"
Chazz And His Cronies Took The Hint And Quickly Left The Room, All The While Grumbling Something Under His Breath Along The Lines Of "This Is Not Over", Michael Did Not Even Bothered To Pay Attention Before He Slammed The Door Shut, He Was Now With His Back Against The Door, He Let Out a Huge And Frustrated Sigh
Then There Was Yet Another Knock, He Opened This Door Again But This Time Yuma Was There, Alongside Another Boy Who Was Wearing a Yellow Variant Of The Uniform
"Oh, Yuma" He Broke Into a Smile "Good To See You" His Eyes Then Shifted To The Boy "And You Are…?"
"Greetings, My Name Is Bastion Misawa" He Bowed a Bit "I Am A Fellow Student Who At The Moment Is In The Ra Yellow Dorm, It Is a Pleasure To Make Acquaintance Of You" He Extended His Hand For a Shake, Wich Michael Took
"So, What You Wanna Talk About?" Yuma Tilted Her Head In Innocent Fashion "You Found a Way To Fix Tachyon Dragon?"
"Come In" He Stepped Out Of The Way "Take a Seat, It's a Wild Story"
-
Chazz Was In His Room, And He Was FUMING Throwing Things Around In Frustration
"Goddammit!" He Grabbed His Head "If My Brothers Find Out That I Was Unable To Recruit That Freshman…!" He Took a Deep Breath And Calmed Himself Down "Okay I Just Gotta Butter Him Up a Bit And I Am Sure He Will Accept Become a Part Of The Princeton Group" He Scratched His Chin Trying To Coax Some Idea Out Of His Mind, When He Received a Call…From His Brothers.
Groaning He Reluctantly Answered, Their Faces Appearing In The Screen
"Hey Little Bro" Slade's Face Had a Shit-Eating Smile "Did You Talk To That Brat With The Blue-Eyes Deck?"
"I Did" His Head Then Dipped Down "But He Refused" He Closed His Eyes Already Expecting a Shitstorm
"What?" Jager's Was Clearly Angry "How Did You Fucked Up This Bad?!" He Could Hear The Sound Of a Fist Colling With Wood, No Doubt He Punched His Desk
"Calm Down Jager" He Then Turned To Chazz "You Have One Week To Make Him Join The Princeton" He Then Squinted His Eyes "Or We Will Make Your Life a Living Hell"
And Without Warning He Ended The Call, Leaving Chazz To Deal With The Absolute Shity Situation He Found Himself
"Come On Chazz! Think! There Must Be Something You Can Do" His Face Sinked In The Table While Grabbing His Head
-
"And That Is About It" Michael Crossed His Arms After Finishing His Explanation, The Card Labeled "The Seventh One" Laying Flat On The Very Center Of The Table
"So…What's a Braian?" Yuma Tilted Her Head Her Brow Twisted By Sheer Confusion
"I Believe He Said Barian" Bastion Raised His Hand, Before He Cupped His Chin "So, Are You Certain That This Card Appeared Out Of Nowhere?"
"I Am More Surprised With You Not Pointing Out The Absurdity Of The Situation" He Raised His Eyebrow
Bastion Simply Chuckled "My Friend, In This Island Everything Is Possible, Before You Arrived We Had a Problem With a Monkey Capable Of Dueling And a Duel Monster Spirit Kidnapping Three Students" He Shook His Head "So a Card Appearing Out Of Nowhere Does Not Impress Me"
"...A Dueling Monkey…?" Michael Them Looked At Yuma, Who Simply Shrugged
He Them Stood Up And Picked The Card Of The Table, Sighing After a Few Seconds "This Is My Chance To Recover My Most Precious Card" He Closed His Eyes
Yuma Them Stood Up And Wrapped Him Into a Tight Hug "If You Need Help, I Will Be There With You"
"It Is Clearly Obvious That The Card Means a Lot To You" Bastion Then Stood Up And Clasped Both His Shoulders "So Fear Not, I Shall Also Aid You In Your Quest To Restore Your Dragon"
"Why?" Michael Them Removed Yuma From Him "I Don't Even Know You"
"Because That Is What Friends Are For" He Had a Confident Smile On His Face "Now I Would Advise We Start Our Research On The "Barian" Subject As Soon As We Can"
"How? All We Have Is This Card" Michael Raised The Card While Pointing At It
"We Could Consult The Library" He Cupped His Chin "Thanks To The Great Abundance Of Books, I Am Sure We Are Bound To Find Something"
"I Spent Nearly a Hour Researching It On My Computer And Nothing Came Of It" He Crossed His Arms
"But Do We Have Another Alternative?" He Raised His Eyebrow
"Touché" He Looked Away a Little Embarrassed "Okay Them, Let's Go, Yuma You Coming?"
She Vigorously Nodded "With You? Always" She Tilted Her Head While Smiling Sweetly
And So The Trio Set Out In Search Of Both The "Barian" Mather And Subsequently How To Restore Michael's Most Prized Card…Unbeknownst To Them, a Fourth Party Was Following Behind Them With Less Than Pure Intentions.
