Last of My Kind

I Made it Through

        (Yinlong) I knew that something was wrong in the Shadow Realm, but not exactly what. As I flew around practically invisible in the misty Shadows, I soon recognized Barian power. I went to the source of it, finding myself at Tachyon's cave. A Barian was standing in front of him, holding up a blank card. I watched as Tachyon was absorbed into the card, the Barian struggling to control it. The intruder succeeded in controlling Number 107. The yellow-cloaked stranger took his leave, and I sped away as well. I must inform Star and Utopia of this, as it's abnormal that a meta-entity would enter the Realm.

        (Star) I woke up to see Yinlong coiled up in my room, looking anxious.

        "What's wrong, Yinlong?" I inquired to the indigo dragoness.

        A Barian emperor has disturbed the Realm. She explained, The interloper took a powerful monster named Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon.

        I didn't like the sound of that. Since when does anyone, Barian or otherwise, stroll into the Shadows and steal a spirit? Whatever it was, it didn't sound good. So I got ready and headed for the forests outside town.

        I teleported to the forests to see Girag and Alito training there. I doubt that any of it would help in a duel, other than not collapsing in a Shadow Game. I watched them exercising on a cliff as I stood atop a tall tree, when I noticed something off with the weather; they noticed, too. Thick, dark gray clouds swirled around a location, sending down a single column of lightning, followed by a crimson explosion.

        "Someone's come from Barian World," Girag concluded as he watched the explosion. Alito got nervous and added, "Not good."

        Secretly, I followed them to get a better view of who came, with Yinlong not far behind. I got as close as I could standing on a tree. I noticed that the two didn't like the grand entrance; for the record, neither did I. Girag was wondering who it was, and Alito had a guess he hoped was wrong.

        The interloper, Yinlong hissed as she flicked her tongue and lashed her whip-thin tail. The dust cleared and the force field disappeared, revealing a boy with long blonde hair.

        "I'm right," Alito figured with bad anticipation, "This could get ugly." The newcomer turned around, showing his scarred face and cobalt-blue eyes.

        Is that him? I asked Yinlong, and she responded with a nod and a tail lash.

        "Welcome, Mizar," Girag greeted the blonde Barian. The newcomer, Mizar, gave Alito and Girag one black cube-like device to each of them.

        "A Baria Sphere Cube," Girag echoed at the name of it. "So you say that with this thing, we can make a sphere field and have our duels inside it?"

        Alito smirked, "Best of all, we can use all our Barian power."

        While the two of them were talking, Mizar noticed me standing on the tree and thought, I had best not concern myself with a human girl. I hissed at him slightly as I felt something weird in my eyes. I shot a thought toward him, Oh really? Well, anyone who dares steal a spirit from my domain shall endure my wrath. He merely smirked and pretended that I wasn't there.

        Meanwhile, Alito and Girag figured they'd be unstoppable with their power. Mizar turned his back while commenting, "Well, I think that remains to be seen," before he left. I knew what he was planning, and it didn't look good. I turned my back as well, teleporting back to Heartland City.

        By the time I found Yuma, he, Ray, and Tori were walking home from school. Yuma seemed a little upset about something, and I saw that it was a nightmare from last night. I walked up to them, and Tori saw me coming.
