Let’s Do some Enforcing
Chapter three
By Kellyq
After three days of
recuperating, Yusei was well enough to go back to New Domino City
with his rebuilt D-wheeler to see if he could help wake Akiza
from her coma. When Godwin heard that Yusei came back and the
other Signer’s united, he had them come to his private
house. Akiza glanced at her friend, and noticed that Yusei
was a little paler than normal. Now why didn’t I see that
before? Then she remembered what happened after waking up
from her coma. Sayer was gone and her parents were there
including Yusei. Akiza wasn’t pleased that Yusei brought
them into the situation. Now that she thought about it, Yusei
wasn’t acting all too much like himself. He won the duel,
stating that she wasn’t a witch and he cared about her as a
friend. A small smile made its way to her lips remembering their
last conversation before heading to Godwin’s house.
Yusei walked into the
lounge room to see Akiza sitting at one of the tables looking
depressed. After hearing that Sayer was using her for his own
selfish purposes, it was hard for her to digest all of what Mina
had told her. He made his way over, and stopped when he got two
feet away.
“Akiza …”
he called out gently.
She closed her eyes,
feeling the need to say how she felt. “I shouldn’t be
mad at Sayer for using me when he offered me so much.” Akiza
opened her eyes and looked out the window. “On some level, I
cared about him more than a friend, and I felt safe when I was
around him.”
A light smile made its way
to Yusei’s lips. “I’d be worried if you
didn’t.” Akiza gasped and shifted her gaze back to her
friend with slight shock. “You have a good heart and if
that’s how you feel about Sayer, you have my support - if I
get your support as a friend in helping defeat the Dark
Signers.”
A smile slowly made its
way to Akiza’s face. “Thank you,” she said gently.
“And I’ll help anyway I can.” Considering that I
have a feeling that Kalin hurt you, Akiza thought
touching her mark on her arm.

the double doors opened and Godwin stepped out of the shadows and
bowed. Jack narrowed his eyes at the man who ruined part of his
life. First being lied to and then taking Yusei’s Stardust
Dragon card, and D-wheeler. On some level, Jack always felt bad
for doing that to Yusei.

He stepped to the side and allowed the others to come in.
“It’s an honor to have you here. Please, come with
me.”

lit hallway and stopped in front of a pair of double doors. It
opened and the gang followed him into a dark room. After standing
there, glowing symbols of all their marks appeared on the floor,
making it bright enough to see. They looked up to see a monument
that looked like a long flight of stairs, and small carvings
engraved on the sides.

others could have a better look. “This, my friends, is the
stairway to the Crimson Dragon,” he started to explain.
Everyone, but Leo, who didn’t have a mark, stared at their
own marks that were now glowing. “The Crimson Dragon has
chosen the four of you because of what’s in your
hearts,” Godwin started to explain again as they gave him
their full attention. “You were all chosen to protect the
light, just like the Dark Signers were chosen to protect the
darkness …”

asked, not liking the fact that Kalin would want that.

searching in their hearts and drawing on their negative emotions,
of sadness, despair and anger.”

one who caused Kalin to feel all those things, he thought.
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">
Now let me at them!” Jack demanded, snapping Yusei out of
his thoughts.

wanted to save Satellite all by myself, but Martha talked sense
into me that friendship is more important than anything else is.
“Godwin,” Yusei finally spoke up, looking into the
man’s eyes. “An old friend of mine turned out be one of
them,” he started to explain. Jack immediately turned
attention to his friend, and crush, hoping to know what really
happened. “His dueling style was intense; the cards he had
were new, and all his memories were intact …”

nothing in particular. “Dark Singers are very powerful, and
they had never lost a duel.”
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">
flashed across Yusei’s eyes. I’m not going to
believe that there’s no way to save Kalin! “So
you’re saying that drawing a card is pointless?”

shouldn’t try,” Godwin answered, finally glancing at
them. “The four of you must make a choice - take a stand
against the darkness that plunges this world, or not.”

confused and helpless. He wanted somehow to help his twin sister,
“but aren’t there supposed to be five Signers? Right
now, there is only four,” he said, holding up four fingers
to prove his point.
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">
informed, “the Fifth Signer will be revealed when the time
is right. But right now the world needs you all to save it.”
Godwin stepped around the others and walked toward the door; he
stopped and glanced at them. “The choice is up to you.”
The door opened and he stepped out leaving Yusei, Jack, Akiza,
and the twins standing alone amongst themselves.

turned and walked out, followed by the others. Akiza glanced at
Yusei. Maybe I can get him to tell me what happened later. Akiza
wasn’t the only one thinking the same thing; Jack was, too.
