Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ooh, him...well...I'm afraid he's gone on ahead to the Kaiba dome to tell Mr. Popularity that his precious duel is cancelled due to his opponent getting injured." Vega laughed heartily, then she said, "And let me guess, you failed to guard the one kid that could help. That Kogaku may be a pain in the tail, but at least he can get someplace in a hurry... for a price."

Violet looked at her feet, then mumbled, "Kogaku...is hurt too."

Vega laughed some more, "What was that?! I can't hear you sister..."

Jack entered from the back then and said, "Vega! Show our guest some respect! A lot has been going on and serious stuff! This is no time to be laughing! Or...should I be sending you to bring the injured straight to Dee's?"

Vega stopped laughing immediately. If there was one place she would never go to again and that was Dee's place even if it was an emergency. Jack let Violet in even with the runner and offered her a beverage.

Violet was about to object when Jack's cell phone rang. It was sector security whom Jack had hired to scope out the situation. "Its very bad indeed, Mr. Atlas. There is some sort of radiation...bad radiation leaking from Ice Yagami's castle. Its affecting the area and anyone foolish enough to get close to it. We cannot free the people injured. What we need is someone to get rid of the radiation from the castle and someone immune to fatal radiation, sir."

Jack knew it was bad especially if Kogaku was trying to help and couldn't. It was unfortunate indeed that Yusei just happened to be riding past there at the time of the danger. He said, "If you locate anyone on their way to Dee's pick them up and head on over there. Inform Dee of the situation and in the meantime, I will be dealing with the radiation problem."

"Right away, sir," was security's answer and the phone call was done.

Smiling wickedly, Jack said, "Okay, Vega, looks like I have a job for you. Since you are from the Lunar galaxy and not from here, your body can likely withstand the radiation leak. Dispose of it any way that you can. And if you need any help, visit the Addams Family. They are your back up, but you are to deal with the poison first. Consider it your punishment for laughing at a serious situation."

The poison started to dissipate from the center of the castle, but it didn't immediately start to clear up. There was only one way that the poison outside would be gone and that was with a good rain storm. Of course, that would mean Ice Yagami's demise, which could not be helped.

The upside to Ice Yagami's demise was that if Iori so chose to, thanks to Ken Masters's resurrection services, Ice would be reborn or rather re-made into the man Ice used to be before the disaster.

Another problem, however began to awaken when Vega removed the crystal. It was in fact part of the Orochi Volcano, which normally can only be activated when either Iori or Dee chose to. That crystal had in fact been connected to Planet Hamster's core, which meant that soon, the volcano would erupt.

The real question here is, which natural storm will occur first? The rain or the lava? If the lava came first then not only was Ice a goner, but Yusei and Koagku too. Not to mention that a global evacuation emergency notice have to be sent out in a hurry. Whomever put that crystal there wanted the planet gone and everyone along with it.

(Yep, I knew that. That's why I have a plan in mind)

Sector security had found Aquajade, and offered to escort her to the mansion, but Aquajade denied the escort and in exchange could they make sure that Yusei was all right? They agreed to it.

Aquajade was just about to enter the mansion when she collided into Terry's younger brother Andy.

(I've been watching Yu-GiOh 5ds )

(Yeah, we stay up late. Me longer than most. I stay up till the sun rises every morning. You should be making posts to connect with ours or you are going to be even further behind. Please try reading all that has been going on, okay? I cannot reply to what you said is my point.)

Yugi looked at his watch and thought, "Why doesn't she just come in? She does have a key."

He got up and opened the door anyway. He said, "I haven't heard from Kaiba, so I don't know. But the shop has been without power for quite some time. Either something has happened to Dee or something has happened to her scouter. It is common knowledge that whomever wears Dee's scouter obtains Dee's immortality. But, if someone should suffer a fatal fall and is wearing her scouter, but does not have an earthly form, a blackout will occur. So, like why didn't you just use your key? Its like right here on your arm."

"Well first," Yugi started, "We stop worrying about Seto. I am sure that your friend made it there safely and is doing all she can. At least that's what my dark magician spirit is telling me. As for this blackout, what we oughta do is find Empress Dee. The problem is, right now, she's all the way in Southtown and my Dark Magician senses that something's happened to Yusei. Something bad. If we go near that area where he's collapsed, we won't make it to see Dee. Thankfully, there is another way to get there. We must see if we can convince Zane Truesdale to allow us to use the secret passageway to Dee's. That passageway takes us through the base of the volcano and through the steakhouse. If something has happened to Yusei, then Iori might be able to help us. I am sure that Jack Atlas has already done something towards our cause without knowing it, so we'll only be doing what Yusei would call a tune up. Plus, if there is something wrong with the volcano, then we know that the Steakhouse is where we have to go to be safe and we can contact Dee from there anyway."

Yugi smiled, "Yeah, just like old times. I am going to take my cards with me too. Unlike most duelists, I can't ride a runner yet. I may sell the parts for duel runners, but...it makes me want to own one."

Joey wheeler entered the shop then and said, "That's nonsense, Yug! If that young Truesdale can ride one, surely you could."

Yugi sighed, "Sorry, Joey. I cannot. Not yet. I have to wait for 3 years before I can ride one. Its a law I set for myself. I know when I will be ready and it won't be early. Look, Joey, Star and I have to leave the shop for a bit. Would you mind watching it for us?"

"Sure thing, pal. But...while you're out...could you remember to buy more groceries next time? Sure Star brought some, but that won't be enough for the week."

"I'll try, but it might be awhile before I'm back."

Now in the side car of the runner, Yugi then asked Star, "By the way, since you were away for quite some time, you didn't try dating anyone else behind my back did you? Its not that I distrust you, its that well, its like how Dee is. Most of the time, she's with Terry, but whenever she goes on trips places, she usually hangs out with her other kings. There had been talk of Dee seeing a brand new guy named Noel, but when I asked Dee recently about that, she told me honestly that he had already been seeing someone and that Noel is simply someone she goes to the gym with in her other form."
