Yugioh: The Hope of Six

Chapter 62: Arcadia Arc - Part 17

"You guys feeling better?" Kiryu asked after a moment. Jack, Crow, Rua, and Ruka remained kneeling on the floor, holding their still aching arms. Their birthmarks had stopped glowing, along with the pain. They all nodded.

"My arm doesn't hurt so much know." Rua said.

"Neither is mine." Said his twin sister.

"I'm good." Crow added.

"As am I." Jack replied.

"That's a relief." Sherry said, glad her friends were okay. "What happened to all of you?"

"Something really must've upset the Crimson Dragon if our birthmarks had hurt like hell." Crow surmised.

"Whatever it was, it's over now." Kiryu said before smiling and turning to Sherry, who smiled back and nodded at him. The young man then came over and hugged Sherry tighter than he ever did. The woman he loved gladly hugged him back just as tight. "Are you... both okay?" Kiryu whispered so that no one else could hear.

Sherry continued to smile as she looked up at him. "We are... I can feel it." She then kissed Kiryu passionately, knowing everything would be alright for them... and their future little one.

Divine screamed as he fell off his D-Wheel, which crashed and burned a ways down, then rolled over and over until he skidded to a stop on the road. Yusei, Yugo, and Rin pulled over, surrounding their fallen enemy. "Got ya now bastard!" Yugo taunted as he and the others disembarked their vehicles.

As the trio cautiously approached Divine, they witnessed his demonic appearance chipping and falling away, reverting him back to his normal human form. The Psychic Duelist was on his hands and knees, weak... but angered. "I had everything planned out. A plan to destroy you, get Aki back, make Ruka part of the Arcadia Movement, annihilate all of Neo Domino City. A plan to eradicate humanity and have my kind take this world. It should have worked out perfectly, but..." Divine gritted his teeth and snarled up at Yusei. "But somehow you ruined everything! You and your bunch! You all took everything away from me!"

"We weren't going to stand by and allow you to massacre millions of innocent people. You had to be stopped." Yusei said. Divine growled in response.

"The hell's your deal anyway?" Yugo demanded. "What's humanity done to make you want to wipe us out?" Divine turned to the young teen, eyes filled with rage.

"I spent my childhood being hated and despised by what I was. None of the others understood me. No human ever tried to understand. When I grew up, I vowed to find others like me and lead them in a war against humanity! The Arcadia Movement was my dream, my vision of an army of powerful Psychic Duelists fighting and bringing humans down on their knees for their discrimination against us! We were meant to be unstoppable!" As Divine was ranting, a strong darkness was forming from a certain fallen card...

"Not after tonight." Yugo pointed out. "You totally got it wrong, dumbass."

"Yugo and I have had our fair share of being treated like second class, but we did not let those who look down on us corrupt who we are." Rin argued. "People can be more of understanding each other than you think! Fighting and war are never the answer!" Divine scoffed at her.

"You children do not get it at all." The angry Psychic turned to the one he hated more than anyone. "After my escape last month, my goal changed to destroying all of humanity from the face of the planet! I had everything planned! But you." Divine sneered, his hatred reaching it's peak. He wanted nothing more than to see everything before him burn to the ground. And that wretched punk had denied him of that. "You, Yusei Fudo... you and your Signers undid all my hard work and left me with nothing! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ALL!"
