Yugioh! The Ancient Prophecy... [PG-16]

[Kazekage dragon]

"There's expressing yourself and then there is being a jerk to others," remarked Yuzaki, "don't act like the victim here, like it or not we're your friends and friends respect each other." Yuzaki snapped a bit at the mention of his parents and stood up from where he was sitting even with his current pain. "Listen here Track," he said angrily, "yeah I have one memory, and you know what it is? My parents being murdered before my eyes! You're not the only orphan here you know but at least I care for others! You know something, I don't care that you didn't even remotely consider tge fact that I died; but hey, I offered you food and a place to sleep. So if you didn't care that I died, since you only think of yourself care about the fact that I was offering you a place to sleep and also food which is something that not most people would do." Yuzaki never liked the mention of his parents because of this fact, something that Suzume knew because She and Yuzaki studied together since kinder. He looked at the money as Track left it on the table pushing it back towards him. "Keep it," said Yuzaki sternly, "after all I OWE you. Tell me one thing though, where do you get off talking to your friends like that especially when the fate of the world is at stake. Oh and too bad that you're not fond of Suzume and Valkyria, we are always going to be paired with people we don't get along too well eventually but we have to suck it up and do our jobs." Dux was confused by everything that was happening and saw Yuzaki was more different than usual. [i]Yuzaki... What exactly happened to you when you died...[/i] Thought Dux to himself as he looked at Yuzaki solemnly. Yuzaki murmured to himself but it was still understandable. "I should have just staid dead," he said under his breath. "Oh and Suzume," said Yuzaki, "don't try to argue with Amathoz please; he is ruthless, he kills his own people for no reason. He didn't kill us for some reason, I'm just not sure why..."

Amathoz slowly stood up and was humored by the squabbling of young Track, since he still heard them talking through the dead body. He then turned around to see Escher standing at the door of the room Amathoz was currently using in order to communicate through the dead body. "Look who returned," said Amathoz sarcastically, "have you done what I ordered?" Amathoz strode towards Escher as he guided him towards the main room. "I am dissapointed with the others as you can see," he pointed at Seth's dead body which was still hanging from one of the statues inside the main entrance, "and I have just finished killing another that did not follow my instructions. I hope you will not be the third..."

[Ranma124]

Track laughed after everyone had responded to hisshouting. Track looked at the others knowing that they probably thought he was crazy for laughing just after they had been argueing. He stopped laughing and began to explain. "Come on guys. Do you really think I didn't care about Yuzaki being dead. Yuzaki your practically my best friend. Your the only one who really understands me. And the reason I started acting like a total jerk. Well I just wanted you to express your feeling Yuzaki. When you came back from the dead you seemed troubled. You didn't. Seem like your old self. You were acting all grumpy and mean." Track took back the money and pocketed it. "I'm definately going to keep this though. Oh and sorry for having to bring up your parents like that. I just thought it would be good if you let that off your chest." Track went over to Suzume. "Suzume I'm sorry for being mean to you. It's not that I don't like you. Its just that I don't know much about girls. But I do know one thing. Girls like hugs." Track quickly hugged Suzume then went over to Yuzaki. "Sorry no hug for you." Track laughed then stuck his fist out. "You get this." Track waited to see if Yuzaki would do the same.

Drew had been walking to Amathozs temple. He had already left the mall. After a while he had finally finished the journey to the temple. He walked in and searched for Amathoz. He eventually found him in a room where Escher also was. "Master Amathoz. I have returned from my mission. And I have collected loads of souls."

[Time Psyduck]

Suzume was somewhat surprised when Track seemed to do a 180 in his mood and hugged her, but she brought her arms around and patted the boy on the back. He quickly broke away, and turned to Yuzaki, but she wasn't done with him.

"You're wrong," she told him quietly, "girls don't like hugs." She paused a moment, to let it sink in. "People like hugs, so stop trying to be 'cool' and go on." She gave the boy a small push towards Yuzaki, and dropped her voice lower, "Plus, Yuzaki could really do with a hug right now."


From a distance away Don, waiting for his order, watched the three, Dark Valkyria alongside.

"He is a reasonable actor," the duel spirit noted.

"Aye, lassie. He canne help but do tha best 'e can te save face if 'ee's caught oot, but 'ee doesn'e seem bad at playin' the role 'ee wants."

"Could he be a problem."

"Only to 'imself. Ah think 'avin' te raise 'imself meant 'ee's grown up too fast. Yuzaki too, though ah reckon he's matured more."

"They were not the only ones here who grew up without parental guidance."

"Ah do 'ave a mother, lassie."

"And you proceeded to do many things she warned you not to. That wasn't effective parenting, even if her intentions were good."

"True. Oh, thanks," he added, as he received his food along with a rather funny look, and headed back towards the group.

[Ranma124]

Track was happy when he felt Suzumes hands part him on the back. He knew it was a sign of forgiveness. As Track was holding his fist out for Yuzski he kept in mind what Suzume had said. Track put down his fist and hugged Yuzaki. He stopped after a while and looked at Yuzaki. "I only did that because well. Just don't think about to much. It was a one off." Track then turned around and faced Suzume. "I hope you dont mind but. Can I have another hug." Before Suzume could answer Track hugged her once again however this time he didn't try to leave the hug. Track liked the feeling of having someone hugging him. He never had a mother to hug him so he was using Suzume as a replacement.

[Wave_Sine]

Escher reached into his pocket as he followed Amathoz back to the main chamber. "I believe that you will find that I have done adequately, my master." He pulled the gem from his pocket, then held it out to Amathoz as he took yet another overly-theatric bow after they entered the room. Still holding out the stone, he looked over at the person who had also just entered: Drew. Escher grinned insanely at him then looked back at Amathoz, waiting for the proffered stone to be taken.

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki smiled a bit after Track hugged him and as he hugged Suzume, Yuzaki petted him on the head as if he were his son or younger brother. "Okay," he said slowly, "whatever you say." He then looked at Suzume and noticed here eyes seemed brighter somehow, it was weird but it made Yuzaki happier somehow. He then remembered that he had read that Tutankhamen never had a son and his daughters died during birth. [i]Maybe it's instinct... I didn't have a son before and now it's like Track is the son I never had...[/i] Yuzaki rubbed his shoulder and felt the hole that was left there by the bullet, though the skin was still intact because of his healing gun. "Man," said Yuzaki slowly, "this was my favorite jacket... Oh well, we should head back as quickly as possible because I don't think we can handle another... Encounter, this night."

Amathoz looked at the two men who brought the souls and the snake thing appeared once more and took them. "Perfect," said Amathoz slowly, "with these, the rise of Apophis will be immenent..." Amathoz looked back at the city from the opening that led to the balcony. "Prepare yourselves," he said menacingly, "tomorrow the attack will begin." He laughed a hissing laugh which was neither light hearted nor menacing, but it was spine tingling at the least.

[Ranma124]

Track stopped hugging Suzume after a while then turned around and looked at Yuzaki who had just said that they should head to his place because he didn't think they could handle another encounter. "Well I guess your right. We better head out before there's an army of Amathoz servants trying to kill us." Track noticed that Don had arrived and had joined the group. Track looked at him. "Hey there buddy. So is everyone ready. If so then Yuzaki lead the way."

Drew listened to what Amathoz had to say and also heart the strange hissing laugh. Amathoz looked over at Escher. "So it seems that Seth has not returned. I always knew that he was weak. He probably couldn't bring himself to kill anyone." Drew laughed then looked at Amathoz. "So sir what will be our course of action."

[Kazekage dragon]

"Yeah," said Yuzaki slowly, "an army..." He remembered the vision with all of the monsters attacking the entire world, could that be Amathoz's army? "Come on you guys," he said slowly moving towards the elevator holding his shoulder, "my home is not that far but it isn't in the city, right Suzume. Okay I made a call and Jones is going to pick us up in a few minutes." [Timeskip: Anyone can interrupt during this part since it is what happens while going down to the first floor and you can also add something that happens in the first floor if you guys want to.] In the first floor Yuzaki directed his attention to a news report on a tv screen on the entrance of a big store. It said about strange murders and presented a man that was apparently teleporting from murder site to murder site, the transmission was cut short when apparently the man attacked the news crew. [i]Most likely working for Amathoz considering he's not exactly a normal human,[/i] Yuzaki thought to himself, [i]we really need to be careful if one of Amathoz's goons can teleport.[/i] Dux and Phalanx floated on either side of Yuzaki who apparently was keeping some distance from the group. "Why are you so distant from your friends," asked Dux confused, "don't you want to protect them?" Yuzaki looked back at the group: Don, Valkyria, Track, Junk Synchron, Suzume, Ruby and two other gem spirits he couldn't quite make out since they were also apparently keeping distance. "I do want to protect them Dux," he said quietly and dismally, "and if I keep my distance when the goons attack me, they will have a large area to run away or fight back, and if I have to die again so they can live I'll do it." Dux nodded and Phalanx kept jumping around and went back to play with Ruby.

Once outside the mall, an elderly man, though not TOO elderly, dressed in a suit was waiting for them in a jet black limousine which, like the motorcycle, was more protected than it would normally be; basically it was more armored than the limousine of the president but only because of Yuzaki's modifications. "Master Yuzaki," said Jone courtly, "ah Miss Suzume, lovely to see you once more; these are the others I assume, I am Jones tis a pleasure." Yuzaki laughed a bit when Jones was waiting for them. "Jones I've told you," said Yuzaki lightheartedly, "you don't have to call me like that; yeah this is Track an Don, they are all going to be staying at home for the night." Jones looked at the two new friends of Yuzaki closely, his eyes seemed to grow and pop out of his skinny and pale face. "Very well Master Yuzaki," said Jones, "well then you may enter." With this said he waved his hand in a gesture so they would go inside, Suzume first being the only woman as courtesy indicates. The limousine had leather seats and had a large amount of space inside. It had a plasma on the far side and a surround sound system. In the middle there was a chest that had comestibles and cold, non-alcoholic, drinks. Jones apparently visited Kinjo Co. since Yuzaki's dueldisk was in one corner of the seats and also he was the one that picked up his and Suzume's belongings from school because her dueldisk was next to Yuzaki's.

[OOC: Description of the interior so the characters know how to react. Also for TP, Suzume should know who Jones is because she has known Yuzaki since he was way younger.]

Amathoz looked at both of the men coldly and started to speak, small snake like monsters emerged from his robe and surrounded his feet only to disappear once more and reappear like an endless cycle. "Tomorrow you shall strike all duelists of the prophecy including the pharaoh," said Amathoz sternly as the snakes kept slithering across the foot of his robe, "however, you need not create a Duat Challenge, only a sample of each of their life force is required to break the binds that hold Apophis. I understand this card game... Yugioh!, is the recreation of the Duat Challenges of ancient times." Two small snakes emerged from the skin of Amathoz's hand in a very grotresque fashion as he pulled the sleeve up of his right arm. As they materialized they formed two cards incredibly similar to the ones used in the card game, but these were different. They were monsters that came after Synchros and Xyz, they had golden borders with a strange ancient looking pattern on them. He handed them to Drew and Escher and continued speaking. "Those monsters are older than myself," said Amathoz, "I know everything that goes on in the pharaoh's mind. He made this new type of monster based on his ancient memories, they are a new type of summoning... Something he refers to as Alpha summoning... I believe it's by banishing the required monsters with the same attribute, by returning to the graveyard the banished materials their destructive effects are activated."

[OOC: Make up the cards you want them to be, but they have to be something of ancient times; though not necessairly Egyptian. Rules for this new sub type is that they can be special summoned from your extra deck by banishing the required monsters which must have the same attribute as the card being summoned. By returning the banished material to the graveyard you can activate their effects. For the legendary duelists these cards are also coming, remember when Yuzaki received a call from Kazuki Takahashi telling him that the new cards were finished, these are the ones!]

[Wave_Sine]

Escher took the card that had been handed to him and looked puzzled. Depicted in the image was a large golem-like monster, endorned with a large Ω, with a background of what appeared to be an ancient Greek city engulfed in hellish flames. "Herald of the Omega? What are these summoning requirements..." Escher mumbled as he continued inspecting the card. "At least with these requirements, I should be able to use it with whichever deck I want..." He was unsettled by the card for some reason. Was it the sight of the grand city in flames, never to be seen whole above water again? Or was it the fact that the being in the foreground had two swords sheathed on it's back? Either way, Escher placed the card into his Extra Deck, then bowed once more to Amathoz, trying to hide his discomfort. "No doubt finding these duelists will be a simple task; if I know these goody-two-shoes types, they'll be all gathered together."

[Ranma124]

Track looked around in amazement at the limousine. As Track sat down and got comfortable in his seat he made sure that he fastened his seat belt. "Safety first guys. I don't think it would be a great idea if we decided to fight Amathoz with broken limbs." Track yawned then looked around him again. Track was sitting next to Suzume. He then looked over at her. "This is awesome right Suzume. But I bet you get to do things like this all the time seeing as your friends with Yuzaki." Track yawned again showing that what he had said earlier avout being tired was true. Track then rested his head on Suzumes shoulder. "Hey Suzume. You don't mind if I just rest my head on your shoulder dO you." Track managed to stay awake and didn't fall asleep.

Drew accepted the card given to him by Amathoz. He looked at the card. It was called Ancient Dragon of the Geoglyph. Drew realised that Amathoz had said something about having to duel the prohecised duelis, including Yuzaki. Drew placed the new card in his deck then looked at Amathoz. "Master Amathoz. I will be the one to take on Yuzaki. I am the only one that will defeat him." Drew waited for his master to answer him and to give a response to what he said.

[Time Psyduck]

Don glanced at the news report. [i]Ah, another problem we're going to have to deal with, [/i]he thought, moving on.


"Good evening Jones," Suzume replied as she stepped into the limousine. She noticed Jones had collected her things, and thanked him as she sat down. Shortly after, Track sat next to her, asking if she rode in the vehicle often. "Well I've been in it quite a bit, but not all the time. I do have a life other than around Yuzaki you know." Track then leaned on her. He wasn't uncomfortable, so she let him be.

Don entered the limo last, offering a hand to Jones as he went. "Good ta meet ya, Jones," he added, before sitting down. "Actually, could ye drop 'round mah hotel room so ah can pick up a couple o' things? It's the Elite Lodge - though it's an optimistic name."

[Kazekage dragon]

Jones nodded at Don and then looked at Yuzaki who nodded back at him. Yuzaki sat on the other side basically in front of his three friends. He heard someone panting and yelling at the limousine before it took off and jumped in it. "Yuzaki," said the guy panting, "I've been looking all over for you and Suzume; who are these guys?" Yuzaki was surprised to see his best friend again almost running after the limousine. "Lucas," said Yuzaki, "it's been a while, well a couple of hours, this is Don and Track, they are part of the prophecy." Lucas laughed and then sat down next to Don holding out his hand. "So we finally found the others," he said lightheartedly, "awesome, bro I was finishing a duel with a random guy and it was awesome, he had his monster with 7000 ATK right and he attacked me directly next thing you know Magic Cylinder it was- what happened to your jacket?" Yuzaki looked at the others and then back to Lucas. "Well I got shot," said Yuzaki slowly, "one of Amathoz's lackeys; I died and then came back... Everyday stuff. "Whoah," said Lucas confused, "he really died Suzume?" Since the only person that he knew fully well other than Yuzaki was Suzume he decided to ask her. "Well," said Yuzaki before Suzume could answer, "I think this is your hotel Don, be sure to make it quick we don't want more problems with those guys. Lucas, you're going to stay over too I guess." Lucas looked at Yuzaki and smiled. "You betcha," he then turned to Suzume to await her answer and then snickered at the sight of young Track leaning on Suzume.

Amathoz looked at Drew intently, the only one who would truly defeat Yuzaki was himself however, he gave Drew false hope. "You will be the one to face the pharaoh," said Amathoz sternly, "but do not remove his soul, it will be given only to Apophis and if you disobey you can be certain that Seth will have company." He slowly looked up to the limp dead body of what used to be Seth hanging at the entrance. "You must prepare for tomorrow," said Amathoz, "however we will start the assault once we receive the darkness inside one of the knights."

[Ranma124]

Track looked at the guy who had now joined the group in the limousine and was talking to Yuzaki and asked Suzume a question. The guy had said his name was Lucas. Track decided not to bother with introducing himself seeing as Yuzaki had all ready introduced Track and Don. Track then noticed that Lucas had snickered when he looked Track leaning on Suzume. Track questioned him about it but didnt raise his voice or lift his head. "What's so funny."

Drew smiled as Amathoz himself said that Dres would be the one to face Yuzaki. "Thank you sir. And do not worry about anything. Once I have defeated him I will do whatever you want with his soul." Drew had heard what Amathoz had said about getting the darkness from one of the prophecised duelists. Drew looked confused. "The darkness sir. What do you mean by that."

[Time Psyduck]

Don slipped out of the limo and into the hotel. Dark Valkyria opted to remain in the limo - she knew what Don would be getting, and was more interested in Lucas. The hotel wasn't a top-quality one, but it was clean and in order. He jogged up to his room and made sure the door behind him was shut. He then pulled out a holdall and began throwing various things in it - electrical things, some clothes, a second deck box - as well as pocketing a few smaller items. Finally, he reached under the bed, and drew out a combat knife. [i]Getting a gun would be too complicated. This at least will serve in an emergency. [/i]He put the knife in his pocket, scrawled a couple of notes, snatched up the full bag, and walked out of the room. He dropped the notes off at reception, along with a decent amount of money. What he couldn't bring would be sent home, giving him no ties to the hotel.

"I think so," Suzume replied. "It's a bit blurry, but he wasn't breathing. Well at least one of you managed to stay in one peace." She was about to ask why Lucas thought the boy leaning on her was funny, but Track beat her to it, and she decided to let him squirm.

[Kazekage dragon]

Lucas smiled a bit and looked at Yuzaki who was not in a very humorous mood. "Nothing," he said calming down as he saw Yuzaki's stare, "I just remembered something when I saw you is all. So Track right, you're a knight too... Cool! Oh, so Yuzaki really died... Then why are you still here exactly?" Yuzaki was staring at Drew intently as he snickered at Track, but not because of the insult it was mostly because he didn't want to hear Track fighting again. "That's what I was going to tell everyone," said Yuzaki, "I might as well tell you all on the way since we will most likely fall asleep once we get there." He noticed Don was at the reciptionist and waited for him to get back in the limousine. "Okay now that we're all here let's talk," said Yuzaki as the car sped off to the countryside, "when I died, I basically saw the Egyptian deity of death, Osiris. He showed me everything that would happen if I didn't come back... I also saw my parents, if I had decided to stay then I would have been with them..." He stopped for a moment as he remembered the vision of his parents and the fact that he would have been happier in the next life but stayed due to responsibility. "After that," Yuzaki continued, "Horus, basically the main deity next to Ra and he eventually fused with Ra, presented himself to me and revealed that I had some of his powers... I think it's like when I made the holograms become real when Amathoz attacked me and when I disintegrated some cards that had an evil aura just by touching them." He then remembered that not even Suzume had seen or heard about that but he decided to continue and save the questions for the end. "But I still don't know exactly what those powers are, and how to use them is still a mystery too," he said, "so... What do you guys think?"

Amathoz looked at both Drew and Escher. "There us a certain knight," he said slowly, "that has another, darker, personality inside of him. When the pharaoh banishes that personality to the Duat, I will revive it in his own separate body and he will work for me only."

[Wave_Sine]

Escher looked up from his bow, continuing to hide his shock from the card he had been given. "A certain... Knight, my lord? One who has a dark side..." Escher trailed off. Was it that [i]interesting[/i] person? The one who had defeated him during a moment of overconfidence? Removing the dark side would make him much less interesting, and make the dark side itself less so as well. It was the [i]chaos[/i] from watching the two personalities fight over the original body that had kept Escher's interest during the match past his original amusement.

[Time Psyduck]

Don hopped into the limo, dropping his bag near the others. "Well, that's everything, let's go," he said, returning to the seat by the door.

"So ye have some powers from an' egyptian god?" he questioned. "It seems somewha' fanciful, bu' then people dinna usually come back from tha' dead, so somehow it seems believable."

"Exactly wha' was it ye saw would happen if ye were dead?" he finally asked, [i]This is Yuzaki, so a canne help but think losin' 'im will turn oot bad fer the rest o' us.[/i]

"You dissolved evil trading cards?" Suzume questioned, "when did this happen? And how can trading cards be evil?

[Ranma124]

Track watched as Lucas didn't say anything more about Track leaning on Suzume after he had looked Yuzaki. Track listened to what Yuzaki was saying about how he came back to life and about some sort of special powers. When he was done Track spoke up. "Okay then. Special powers huh. That's kinda weird but from what all of us have seen and heard that seems pretty normal." Track looked up at Suzume from her shoulder. "Maybe he did it when either known of were there or none of us were looking." Track then looked back at Yuzaki. "So now with your weirdo friend Yuzaki we have all the knights here. That means that Amathoz and his lackeys don't stand a chance."

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki heard as most of his friends thought that the powers seemed unreal but considering everything that happened it wasn't too far from the truth. "I understand what you mean of the powers," said Yuzaki, "but they are real unfortunately. Oh and like Track said, you guys weren't their when I did that to those cards. Basically they had an evil aura around them, as if the spirits of those cards were evil, Dux knows." Dux appeared next to Yuzaki and nodded. "It's true," said Dux, "those monster spirits were very strange... They seemed to be corrupting the original spirits, the ones that had the same names. Remember Suzume it's not the cards that were evil, it was the spirits inside those cards" Yuzaki thanked Dux and then continued finishing talking. "The thing I saw was basically," said Yuzaki a little unnerved, "an army of monsters destroying cities around the world... It was really weird... And all of you died... Oh and Track, unfortunately there is still someone that appeared in my vision that hasn't been found, so I think we are missing one. For some reason I think it's the guy who made those cards, they said K. Yokun on them so apparently they were personally made cards by someone that worked in Konami making cards." Lucas listened in awe as Yuzaki explained everything, then he was a little insulted when Track called him a weirdo. "Hey!" he said, "I'm not weird!" Yuzaki laughed a bit. "You are," said Yuzaki, "trust me." Lucas was mad that even his best friend was telling him this. "You too Yuzaki?!" said Lucas, "man... Well whatever, think what you want I don't really care." Yuzaki put his hands on his head and slowly shook it. "This is going to be an interesting night," said Yuzaki, "not that it already isn't... Well we're here." After passing through a dense forest that only had one road and was seemingly completely apart from civilization, the gates of an immense estate appeared. The mansion was incredibly big and it was designed very strangely, it seemed like a maze because it wasn't just a rectangle or square shape. It seemed like it was made of many different sized houses all grouped together, the backyard was big and long and streched to the forest which was also part of the property. The main entrance door was larger than your average sized door and the house also had statues that were actually disguised security bots. If you looked at it from a distance it did seem to have an Egyptian temple look to it which was very ironic; in the front yard, next to the parking space, was another duel dome similar to the one underground at Kinjo Co. but obviously above ground.

[OOC: Everything after the speech is just description so everyone can still reply to Yuzaki or Lucas or Dux or anyone else; once finished talking they can exit the car but right now that is the scenery that is visible from inside the car.]

"Yes," said Amathoz coldly, "this knight has a dark side that will serve me. Once I have it, the assault can commence."

[Kazekage dragon]

[OOC: Bumping so the other RPers can see it; just in case.]

[Time Psyduck]

Don, closest to the limo door, exited first. Moving aside to let the others get out, he leaned on the boot of the vehicle, looking up at the large building.

"Not bad," he noted. "Ah'd guess ye' from a well-off family? Ah didn'e think any kid would be able to build a company as big as tha' without a decent income, but te' 'ave a home this big at such an age means ye probably inherited it. Frankly, ye could make a good livin' openin' it as a hotel, and ah would expect if it were on the market anytime recently it would be sold as such.

Dark Valkyria, who had spent half the journey on the roof, stood and stepped down onto the boot lid, hovering over her partner. "Yuzaki Kinjo, do you have anything that is small."

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki chuckled quietly as Don remarked about his family and the hotel idea. "Yeah this was my parents's house; my dad was actually the one who was very well off and his friends helped me make my company," said Yuzaki slowly, "though my mom also had a good income, that's why this has basically been my home since birth and why Jones has known me since I was born. However I have made some slight modifications to it like enhanced security and the duel dome. Making it a hotel would seem profitable but it has too much sentimental value; plus I couldn't bear having that many people in my house." Yuzaki helped the others out so they did not fell in a little step which was uneven. Then turning towards Valkyria he was amused that she was thinking about that. "Well Dark Valkyria," started Yuzaki, "it all depends on how you would define small; I have a motorcycle." Lucas jumped out of the limo and greeted Jones since he just got inside the limo without saying anything. "Nice to see you Jones," said Lucas smiling, "long day I guess. Well I'm off with Yuzaki and the others, bye!" Lucas then ran towards the statues that were in front of the main entrance. "Come on Yuzaki," said Lucas, "you're the only one that can open this, other than Jones. When were you going to add me in the list?!" Yuzaki rubbed his temples as he lowered his head. [i]97% of my friends are incredibly annoying,[/i] thought Yuzaki, [i]I hope I can get a good nights rest though, even with these crazy guys.[/i] Yuzaki walked towards the door and went to a similar process like at his office and the front door was eventually unlocked by one of the statues pushing it open with it's decorative lance. "Welcome to my humble abode," said Yuzaki as he held the door open for his friends, "go on right ahead." Yuzaki waited for them to enter since locking the door required the same maximum security sequence. He looked at Jones and smiled as he waved at him and Jones waved back. Apparently Jones was going to do something before going inside the manor.

[Ranma124]

Track jumped out of the limousine and ran to the mansion. He began to jump around in excitement. After Yuzaki had opened the door Track rushed in and once again began jumping around in excitement. He looked over at Yuzaki. "Oh wow Yuzaki. This place is awesome. I can't believe you live here. Ive never been to a place this big before." Track looked around then his attention once again went over to Yuzaki. "So hurry up already. Aren't you gonna show us were we are supposed to sleep. I bet it's gonna be real big." Track calmed himself down then stared at everyone. "Would you guys try not to take your time. I want to get done rest so I don't have to be cranky when I wake up."

[Time Psyduck]

When they entered the large house Suzume broke off from the others. "I'm actually tired," she admitted, "I'll take my usual room. I'll see you all in the morning, guys." She headed up a staircase and out of sight, waving to the rest of the group and disappeared. She turned another corner, and her head snapped sideways, to the bird gliding alongside her.

"Cobalt Eagle," she noted, "you showed up when that man tried to shoot me. You were trying to save me, weren't you?"


"Well, it looks like your parents had taste," Don noted, looking around the entrance. "A nice place. Still, Track is right,-"

"For once," added his partner, under her breath.

"-we should probably get some rest," he continued, ignoring her. "If we're going to do this properly, we need to be up early."
