AN: Hey everyone, it's me again! I know I already have another story going but I really liked the idea of changing some events in Sargasso ans since it'll only be five chapters long I thought why not!? ^ ^
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh Zexal, but I do have cookies! :3
Even as Vector said those awful things about Yuma lying I couldn't believe it. " Yuma? This isn't true is it? " It took everything I had to not let the pain I felt get into my voice.
" Astral. . . I . . . " Yuma muttered without looking me in the eyes before finally going silent. So it was true. I kept myself composed but inside I felt a terrible pain and anger. Yuma had betrayed me. The one person I trusted above all others had lied and hidden things from me. And why did he do it? Because he trusted someone else, a Barian none the less, more than me.
When me and Yuma started to form Zexal I still could help but feel angry at him for lying to me. It only got worse when I started hearing the Barian's awful voice whispering into my ear and reminding me about how Yuma lied and I couldn't trust him anymore. " He lied to You. " I heard Vector say. " He kept things hidden from you. What's to stop him from doing it again? "
After that my anger when past the boiling point and without realizing it I started lashing out verbally at Yuma. " He's right! " I screamed at Yuma. " How do I know you won't lie to me again!? How do I know you won't betray me and hurt me again!? How can I trust someone would trust the enemy over their own partner!? How can I- "
I was interrupted when Shark's face appeared on a screen next to me yelling, " Astral stop it! "
I turned toward Shark yelling, " But he lied and kept secrets not only from me but all of you! "
" And look what you're doing to him! " Shark yelled in return. But what did he mean? What could I have possibly done to Yuma? I turned toward Yuma and immediately regretted everything I said.
Yuma was hunched over a little with his hands pressed against the side of his face. As I looked at his face I could see a heavy stream of tears falling and hitting the ground. You could see the horrible pain in his eyes from a mile away as he let out little whimpers and whines of " I'm sorry. " over and over again in a heartbreaking mantra.
I tried to reach out to Yuma and say something to offer him some comfort but as I reached for him I heard Vector say in that fake sweet voice, " Astral! Look what you've done! You made Yuma-kun cry! " As he talked I could see Yuma stiffen before falling into heavier sobs than before, which I honestly didn't even think was possible.
Then I heard That Things voice in my ears again. " You know I was planning on going after you but I suppose Yuma would work too. " I didn't understand what he meant but before I could try an think it through I heard Vector again but this time his words seemed to be aimed to Yuma.
My suspicion was confirmed when I looked back over to Yuma to see him covering his ears trying to block out Vector's voice. " What's the matter Yuma-kun? " Vector said in that sickeningly sweet voice of his again. " Are you still mad at me for tricking you? Or are you mad at yourself for falling for my lies and not being able to protect your friend? "
" Leave Yuma alone! " I yelled with a fierce anger toward the Barian.
Unfortunately he didn't listen and just continued his assault on Yuma. " You'll never be able to protect him you know? It's only a matter of time before you fall for another person's lies and do the same thing all over again. What will happen to your little friends then? They'll probably be injured, or worse. And it will be all your fault. "
With that Yuma stiffened again, eyed wide with fear. I saw it but I was so angry at that moment all I could see was Yuma listening to him again and not to me. Without thinking I pulled my hand back and slapped Yuma hard in the face screaming, " Listen to me for once in your life! "
Yuma held his hand to the side of his face that was now red where I slapped him and stared at me with a mixture of shock and fear that automatically made my heart sink. But before I could do anything to make up for it I heard Vector's insane laughter before hearing him scream, " You've done it now Astral! Your bond is now broken! "
Before I could do anything to stop it me and Yuma were pulled apart and while was thrown hard onto the ground Yuma seemed to be held floating in the air. " Your lies have blackened you heart and turned your friends against you! " I heard Vector shout. " Now give into the darkness! "
I could just watch in terror as I heard Yuma scream out in pain as tendrils if darkness seemed to come out of his chest and wrap him in a strange cocoon of negative energy before he finally broke out. Except what came out didn't really look like Yuma with it's right black eye color instead of Yuma's normal red like the other one and strange black vines of darkness seemed to have permanently etched themselves into his skin.
Before I could even blink the thing that looked like Yuma was already in front of me with with one of my wrists in each of his hands and holding me up. " I think it's time I called the shots for once Astral. " Then I felt His darkness spread to me as he forced me into Dark Zexal. I tried to fight he was just too strong as he pulled me deeper and deeper into the darkness before I finally blacked out.
AN: Well that's all for now! Don't forget to comment! ^ ^
