Yawn.
Ryo kept taking yawn out. His sleep wasn't bad but the dream he had had stolen all his energy to be wake up.
"Is that one or this one?" Muttered Ryo as he locked two D-Bikes side to side, both black and cool.
"It's your right one." Future duelist said, in front of Ryo at the other side of road.
"Oh." As Ryo sat on his own, made by himself D-Bike, he figured it was his.
He couldn't have gotten clear answer by touching or seeing with sleepless problem but he felt it when he sat on it.
"It's it. Thank you."
"Don't mention it." Future duelist aka Ryo's future son said, without looking at him just siting on his own D-Bike. "You are in need of sleep that is confirmed. At least have rest or you will do more harm than good." And he started his D-Bike.
A cold talk from son to father but, it had point. Ryo's current condition was nothing helpful but will drag himself down more than others.
"Whatever happens I will see. I need some fresh air with old breeze going with D-Bike."
Ryo stating his points started his D-Bike same way as future duelist. With just a hand-scanner.
"I was thinking for a while." Yugo said sitting on his D-Wheel. "Can you two use eachother's D-Bike? I mean technically both works by same fundamental points."
"Something like that to happen have to let a chance come." Ryo said.
"Yeah." Future duelist agreed.
"It's just a safety feature for not letting anyone take or use D-Bike. Just count it as extra." Ryo explained. "But what about your upgraded D-Wheel?"
"This is same but with lot of new features and etc... but if I had to say we have upgraded it like the rider has to know how it works. And of course we made sure no one takes it away with steal." Yugo said his palm going around his D-Wheel, and nostalgia in eyes with soft smile.
Ryo : "Guess some things are eternal to be same."
And Ryo take another yawn.
"Then let's get started."
""Yeah.""
# Bit Ahead Of New Domino City
"I am gone far ahead." Yugo said his face straight but eyes looking side to side as at times.
"It sure was fun though. Gotta say it's in long time when I am riding D-Wheel for fun and enjoyment." His eyes downward now. "We use to do that a lot right? You remember right? And Rin too." Said with carefree smile.
As he gone and gone road started to become thiner and surroundings started to become less and less in number and just empty fields of scorched land was on front and behind, as long as eyes go.
"Guess it's more than a bit of extra fun." Yugo sighed with disappointment. "Gotta return."
And then a heard a scream.
"Help me! Someone!"
It took Yugo's attention and he go on that road for more long.
"Feels a very bad omen."
And as he go the road ended and he just drove and drove as the road was just rocky ground but his D-Wheel was enough stable.
"One of more good results of practice." Yugo's corner of mouth curved.
And within two minutes, he drove his D-Wheel very very fast and a village reach his limit of vision.
"A village... is it abandoned? Doesn't look like people are here."
# At limits of City, Near Forest
"As predictable. There are lot of places to hide."
Future duelist said as he drove his black D-Bike into raw roads and he wanted to saw places where no one dared to go.
"Rumors..."
He replayed the talk he had with a old man near highway. The forest is crazy. Horrors and spirits appears and goes to anyone near place.
People were fully scared of not just forest but never even go there on day time.
"Guess life huh? As long as there is fear there is a monster behind cupboard." He murmured.
He didn't go there for not just investigation. He did thought where people doesn't go is a good place to investigate but noe the urban stories of the forest made him more eager to go. Deeper and deeper to the middle of forest. Ends of stories.
"Nothing special till now but I do feel something... is this what they call subconscious-mind creation. I am imagining those stories and my mind is simulating it? More worthwhile... let's just stay night here. Want to meet that stories's realistic meaning and things." He said to himself as he decided to stay not just long but night.
"Contact to Dad." He said and looked at micro eye.
The more time passed the more this green and brown trees and forest seemed dark as not much time had passed future duelist had entered here.
# At A Certain Fountain
"Nsver thought I will come here. At the place."
He looked at the crowd. The not ending noises of crowd made him awake by force.
"For some reason this fountain sure feels like I have seen it somewhere. Sometime."
He sat on the big ring of fountain and looked behind, just neck turning.
"Maybe I should just drink coffee. But the aftereffect will be worse." He closed his eyes.
If he drank coffee and stay awake than he will just get more strong sleepness. Not something he can fight with just will to stay awake or force.
"But..." He looked at crowd again with more deep thoughts.
"I can't help but feel something like this had already happened. Or what might happen I feel it. Like I just felt on impulse."
Ryo looked at a ice-cream truck with snacks too and the people eating together.
Sighed Ryo.
"I feel..." He completed the sentence on his mind.
"I wonder how she is? I suddenly feel want to meet her or talking to her but why? I want to just let myself be myself. But at the same time I can't stop myself nor control myself."
His eyes stayed at those people but drifted into sleep and the next moment didn't came for him to stay on guard.
His head hunged down naturally.
The parked D-Bike beside him was missing as Ryo had disappeared.
# Meeting At Inside
"Hello."
"Same.
"Yeah."
Voice echoed.
"What is this meeting for?"
"Nothing just some topic discussion."
"Who held it?"
"Only a newcomer can't even guess. It's Kral of course. Who need to work so it could talk in place of his worth."
"Looks like everyone is here."
With lot of long shadows in a door-less room, everyone talked without opening mouth with just black shadow. As one shadow smiled.
"Guess this mind memory meeting is gonna be long yet just to the point." Kral said.
"Let's discuss today's matches. The third and fourth team sure had it hot from start." One said
"Yeah."
"But can't guess just one match will go long for such tournament. But audience sure likes duel."
"We just have our fun not enjoy seeing others."
"Sorry."
"Point Is this is gonna last until we complete our mission." Kral said.
"Yeah!" Everyone said with a heavy sounding. As if with respect.
# Ahead of Neo Domino City
Lot of rocks and bad soil but a black D-Wheel was going smooth. Despite all obstacles.
"I don't like the way it is." Yugo clushed his teeths into irritation.
He looked around but saw no one. And even after taking a detour of small village he still find nothing.
"I am sure the scream come from here. Or was it just my imagination? No! But there has to be something that is not right around this area."
He remembered coming till here he didn't saw a single person.
"Sounds more bad omen." He muttered and started to run his D-Wheel fast around the area of village.
But nor he saw anyone or heard anything.
# Limits Of Neo Domino City, Forest
"Interesting. Very much like rumors." Future duelist muttered. "As that old man said, this forest darkens itself even on day."
Before he had noticed that forest seemed little dark then dark and then more dark.
Future duelist had parked his D-Bike with lock near a giant tree. And was walking around, not going far from that tree, to look if something happen.
"How .uch time had passed?" He looked at his left hand and saw there was no time showing device.
"What? "
He then looked at eye to eye to far small micro eye.
"Can you hear me? Hey."
But no one responded from other side.
"Hm..."
He placed his hand on his mouth little tight and started to think.
"Micro eye is still working and is still flying around me."
If there was a problem it would affect micro eye first.
"But no one is responding... is it problem from there or my voice isn't going there but neither seems right. At least one person a worker would be there if anything happens and micro eye is made to protect itself from anything. Than means something is jamming it. But it's signal are beyond strong to transfer voice and vision to other side but it is only plausible reason."
He still pondered his hand and thoughts together. But there was one possibility he considered plausible but it happening have low chances.
"But something doesn't fit."
He dash where he had parked D-Bike. Straight, if a obstacles, big rock, tree whatever came in his path then he jumped big, very big and agile for a normal boy to do.
There came big bended trees as if to block him.
"They weren't here when I last checked this area."
Thinking something is different he just crossed the bended trees. They looked like bush of snakes, tangled together. But let it jump, go through space between them but he didn't stoped a a moment.
He tried to take a look and press a button on screen of a thing on his left hand.
"Doesn't answering."
D-Bike didn't answer the signal and he said.
"This forest is more big than I looked. The path is same but everything has become different and path looks longer."
The giant tree did came to his vision but when it looked close another obstacle, let it be big rock, trees or even vines came and then the giant tree looked Moore distant.
"It won't help it like that." He thought.
And from a long tree he grabbed a branch and then thr next moment he jumped to another tree without taking a breath.
Now he was above trees. As far as they could grow he was above forest and on the thick tips of trees and goes to guant tree.
"Be okay."
And with a swift as fast as gust he landed in front of giant tree and saw it was there.
"Unbelievable." He find it hard to believe. He got obstacles around and around but it was still there.
He wanted to go and check it. There was a feeling that he considered important here.
"Is it alright to go near tree."
For some reason or his own mind simulation, the tree looked but more broad, long and it's branches and leaves darkened.
Naturally he figured the difference but the hesitation didn't go.
And spund came.
"Behind?"
He looked behind and little but sharp sounds were coming.
# Scorched Village
"Is there anyone here?!" Yugo shouted but not a single sound came back to respond it.
"Wierd." Murmured he his hands felt loosen and his head started to get lowered, with it's straight serious hard stance.
"Feels sleepy? Can't believe it. Or something supernatural? Heh."
With just a tiny flight his hands got more tightened and his head and eyes straight with serious stance.
"Something? Can't believe I will regret not to drink coffee offered by them."
At morning the three brothers had made breakfast for these three and said "It is for you. We have to go somewhere."
And Yugo said. "If you going then eating breakfast comes first."
Those three obviously tensed.
"Then do you at least have tea, milk or coffee?"
"No we are full. Last night's dinner was so great that we are stll full." Yugo said with big smile.
The other two, Ryo and Future noded with weird smile. Trying hard to smile.
"Really?" Though hearing this lighten their eyes for curiosity.
"Yeah. But we can't be burden for you three we have to go."
"Then you can come again." They welcomed.
"Yeah."
And Yugo now riding D-Wheel. "But I couldn't possibly do it. They have already much more burden."
And now, Yugo felt he couldn't let his mind and body relax for a second or it will be bad.
"Hypnosis or mind control are not plausible right now. Then Is it possible that..."
Yugo looked around again as he made his D-Wheel faster.
"Yup. It's atmosphere. There is certain type or relaxation."
He felt becoming relax as he found the reason.
"Hey. Everyone... anyone."
He said but no onee answered.
"Seems like micro eye is also blocked somehow. And it's definitely not mirage more. Guess I can't contact those two either."
But Yugo hadn't changed his expression in the slightest. Not worried, not anxious no fear.
"Guess it is what they call when it comes it never tells, But when it tells it never comes, So there is no given." His hands tightened more yet gently and his eyes more sharp thinking a way.
He could had easily gotten out of the area but he felt he shouldn't. There really can be someone here. And at worst need for help as someone had already screamed.
"Doesn't seem like it will be easy nor early."
And Yugo's hands lightened. His eyes drifted as they were closed. But Yugo fight more. But he knew fighting back will and it will be back more strong.
# At A Unknown Area
Yawn
A last yawn of relaxation of exhausted came as Ryo opened his eyes.
"Shit. Now it will be bad." Ryo looked at micro eye but he couldn't get any talk from other side.
"What...? Seriously."
Ryo looked around only to find that he was at a island. And not just any.
There was a big volcano at the end of island. One big building on left of middle of island. And there was a dock with no ship or boat. And he remembered this place, this is the place that let him met her. He couldn't have forgotten this place.
"And now I am at Acedmia. Doesn't look like this will get any better."
As he had looked around first he saw that there wasn't his self made, hand made bike that he had made with his heart, D-Bike wasn't there.
