"?"
Yugo whistled but nothing came.
"What was that sounds of braking if not my D-Wheel? As I thought there is someone else!"
Still it was dark and he was wrapped by metal ropes.
"Metal ropes heh. They should had done metal chain. Rope is easy peasy." Yugo gave a rare laugh and started shaking.
"Ouch. Shit! Ah!"
His right hand was going to his head. His legs were going inwardly and up and down. His neck was twisted right side to left side rapidly. His shoulders becomes as soft and flexible as cotton and were twitching outwardly.
Within 3 minutes the sound of light metal falling came and it lasted 4 seconds.
"Aghhh!"
Yugo gave deep sound of agony.
Yugo cracked his knuckles and stretched his legs long and done some painful exercises to calm his joints.
"It was easy then last time. Sigh am I getting used to undo tying? Is this supposed to be good? I am technically kidnapped. Or why I feel like a runaway guy?"
After stretching he found one thing that this place had range. It wasn't short or maybe Yugo was in luck or he would had fallen if there was downside.
"Maybe I was finally lost consciousness after that atmosphere was more than hard to control for me."
Yugo had undoubtable guess that he had gone into deep sleep after that air and become strong.
"I had done so much practice in case of natural body needs become strong but was that all I could had done? I have still ways to go man." He sighed inwardly and started to adjust his eyes and focus on darkness of the place.
"A little... there Is something I can see."
He go little ahead, taking care that he won't step on anything else. And he pushed that area.
Sigh.
A ray of light came along with it's temperature. There was the big sun, scorching with it's heat. On the desert.
"Haha...ha"
Yugo cursed himself for even thinking he should had helped others.
"Was I just getting full of myself. No I did what was right to do."
Then he turned and saw a little girl in very bad shape. She was thrusty and was unconscious. And her clothes were also messed up like she was in a fight.
"YOU OKAY!?"
Yugo gone to her running and he shake her head and slapped both her cheeks with care.
"Wake up! Agh! I wish I had water!"
Yugo gave a more close look at the area and he found his D-Wheel.
"What? No it's not time."
He made a dash and gone to D-Wheel. He then, from emergency mini box took some mineral water and rapidly splash it on the little girl's face and after she woke up. He made her drink it.
The thought of his deck is safe didn't come to him.
"A...h"
She opened her eyes slowly and said like she was more safe than surprised.
"ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?"
Yugo still shouted in tension.
"A... ye...s"
She was still breathing slowly and wasn't harmed but her clothes show that she had a fight because they were racked.
The girl clean both her eyes with both her hands.
Yugo let out a big sigh of relief.
"Here, drink water."
"Thanks."
Yugo : "Looks like she was just thrusty not in any harmful or in a bad condition."
Faint smile was made by Yugo. "Can you stand? Can you walk?"
"Yes."
"Take a step first with care."
Yugo tried to help her stand.
"I am okay. Thanks uncle."
Yugo : "Not you too."
"What this place is? I don't remember anything before but I was at my village."
She said in soft voice and curiosity in her eyes but not worrieness.
"I don't know either." Yugo replied. "Do you know about other villagers?"
She shook her head in denial.
Yugo knew it wasn't a question to ask to a child but he had to know for her own safety as well. To take her to her people.
"Can't be helped then. Let's go outside and look."
She didn't do anything that made Yugo think she agreed.
And then Yugo goes to D-Wheel and remembers his deck.
"Phew. It's here."
In the D-Wheel's deck. Where he placed and stored it securely. Yugo didn't took his deck anywhere, as long as his D-Wheel was with him.
"Haha... The battery is Zero?"
He then looked at the power level of his and Rin's D-Wheel. And it showed something that Yugo never let happen.
"Was it in working mode or just turned on? How much time had passed then? Or was the power was released by manually?"
In confusion Yugo turned to the puzzled expression little girl.
"Is everything okay uncle?"
"Y... yeah. You can sit on my D-Wheel. I will just wall with it."
And they went out. Yugo just had realized that the ground where they were trapped was of metal. And from outside it was a small place.
As he looked and both went outside, the scorching sun was giving heat that dehydrated water from everywhere.
"If battery had become zero it figures why D-Wheel didn't respond to me. But it was better that I was able to find her."
Yugo looked at the little girl who was sitting on D-Wheel. While Yugo was walking with D-Wheel.
"What is your name? Mine is Yugo." He said with smile.
"Leli."
"Leli, don't worry I will help you to get you back to your people. I know how it is to be separated from the people you love."
"Thank you uncle." She said with smile face.
"... don't mention it."
# Forest
"It was a close call."
Future duelist said while riding his D-Bike to full speed. Out at road.
"It's also good thing no security people are here. Though it won't be long that people found the major energy blast in forest... maybe they are already on their way."
He said to himself as he made the speed of D-Bike more fast.
"But it sure was something. Had those people have already found me? Then it is worser than before. Or was it just a dark entity lurking on that forest for long time, trying to get a host? Either way I should had investigated it more, only If I had time and chance."
The clouds started to come back to the empty sky.
"Can't throw the possibility that that one might had possessed or done something here. But I can't find it either... it's frustrating."
From distance he heard the sound of helicopter.
"Gotta go more fast... but that entity sure was strong. It had forcefully tried to take me. What kind of unease i was having."
# Unknown
Two eyes were opened by one person.
The red eyes made their focus, looking around the place.
"Now what?"
Ryo gave low confidence sigh as he looked around, he found nothing.
"Everything is white? Yes. It's as like I am inside light itself."
And then Ryo tried to stand up but the weight he felt was very strong.
"Is this gravity or my weight? I can't make accurate assumption."
Ryo indeed didn't had anything heavy with him but he felt it was different than something pulling him downside or gravity.
"Want some help?" A phrase nothing like question came.
Ryo let his face up and he saw a, in this all white a darker than black big shadow.
The shadow extended its hand to Ryo, the scene felt like it was a help from devil which never ends well.
"Finally appeared. I don't need it."
With forcing his two hands on ground, Ryo with the force of them got up. And made balance with his legs.
"You are in more than good state I could assume." Ryo said to the shadow.
"Yeah. Power and energy is flowing in me like volcano blast." Shadow gave a devil like laugh. And it's mouth sharp teeths show and mouth shut time time as it spoke.
The shadow was very bigger in size compare to Ryo, Ryo looked very pitiful if.
"Did you take away my D-Bike and send me there?"
The shadow didn't answer or said anything.
"What happened? Why had you never done anything while you always had?"
"Because of two reasons." Shadow had very heavy and deep voice.
It was face to face to Ryo. If not for Ryo, anyone who saw such shadow from close would had already lost consciousness.
"What is this place then? Why is is all white? Actually it is more than white." Ryo asks and asks, again and again.
"This is soul form. You could even say soul room that reflects the inward of a person's nature by soul."
Ryo : "Soul? Form? Room?"
"I have seen many people's soul but yours is still purest, such pure soul to exist, heh. Though same goes for that future son of yours. For a abandoned be such a calm yet dangerous. Heh."
"You are not scared of being alone?"
"What alone? I was trapped here to begin with. But i have power and freedom now."
"I was strongly shocked that even with freedom and power why you haven't done anything?"
"All credit goes to your future son. He would had done something plus you too... but now everything is different."
In such endless looking white world only Ryo and that Big darker than black shadow was.
The more that shadow spoke and open its mouth, it's devil teeths were more horrifying.
Ryo : "Different huh. How so?"
"You haven't answered. Did you did something to my D-Bike and send me there?"
"I was watching you all along. Those adventures and so and I must say that Yugo from 10 years from now sure is something else. I might turn my eyes to him as next target. And your adventures sure were great. Travling worlds and so but this one will be more than just different and new."
"!?"
"Although everything is same for me, no matter how much big pain is ass it is. It's all same for me."
And the shadow starts to become blury, like just black mist and started to fade away.
"Just what did he mean? Is he gonna do anything?"
It was dark mist now.
Ryo : "What is this unease? Why can't I be calm. Like something very bad something I don't like is happening or already happened. From where all these emotions are coming?"
The vision of Ryo started to become blury and Ryo then disappeared from there.
From the dark mist the voice came. "Belive or not Ryo but this time you are out of hope. Only my imminent distruction and despair awaits for all verses. Heh."
# LDS Building
"President! We are having enormous strong signals! Something have come here!"
"Show me the location."
In the big monitor room that shows whole city, Reiji was sitting on his seat before he got up.
"Here. This is the place." One person said.
"President these signals are far enormous and strong to be from different dimension!"
"More of the reason we have to go find."
And he made a phone call.
"You all have gotten a location of a place go there and search the whole area."
"Yes President!"
The people in black suits, white shirt and black tie while wearing sunglasses said.
It was the location of a forest like park. It was whole covered by trees, nature and greenery.
"There is someone! A PERSON IS UNCONSCIOUS!"
Just within few minutes they found him.
"His identity is unknown! He have silver hair! And is wearing all black clothes!"
A person at monitor room said. "We can't identify him."
Reiji said. "Then bring him here. We will ask him directly. But don't be reckless."
"Yes President!"
