Reiji and I walked through the doors of L.I.D. The whole building was filled with people. Most are probably from the so called, 'Class of War'. It's just the people who decided to join during the beginning of the inter-dimensional war; which was said to have started when we joined the fight, even though that's not true in the slightest.

We walked to an elevator and rode it to the top floor. We exited and entered Reiji's office, which had a huge pane of glass as a wall, which allowed him to see all of Miami city.

"Sit." he said, gesturing to one of the two chairs in front of his desk.

He went behind his desk and sat in his large black chair. It was one of those chairs that the big corporation bad guy from a movie would sit in. I sat and waited for him to speak.

"How long ago did we defeat Z-ARC?" he asked.

I thought for a moment.

"A week before yesterday, I think. So, eight days?" I responded.

"Right, and we took you out of school for a week to assess your behaviors, just in case there was any side effects from the removal of him. Is that not correct?"

"Yes, but what are you getting at? Z-ARC's gone!" I said, more annoyed at the sudden rush of questions than anything else.

"Are you sure Z-ARC is gone from you?" he continued.

"Yes he's gone! For good! You said so yourself!" I exclaimed agitatedly.

"Last question, please bare with me... if you had been in Z-ARC's position, what would you have done?" he looked at me like this was the deciding factor in the worlds largest mystery.

"I....I'm still not sure what you're trying to say..." something's definitely not right.

Reiji took a moment before he spoke again, as though he was contemplating something.

"I have reason to believe, that Z-ARC is still alive."

I froze. Zarc? Alive? Whole? What could have caused this? If he was, why haven't we been told this sooner? Why would Reira have been reborn as a vessel if he was still out here? Wait, does that mean that he's going to come after us again? No; the only reason he came after us before was because he needed the four of us to become one. But, then how? We beat him! Didn't we? I saw Reira take on Z-ARC's spirit, so how could he still be around?

"Th-that's not funny!" I yelled at him, standing from my chair.

"I'm not joking! One of the portals closed yesterday! The Fusion portal to be exact. In fact, the Synchro and XYZ portals are losing energy as well! The only one who is strong enough to tap into the power that keeps the portals open, is Z-ARC. If he somehow survived that battle, he could be using the energy from the portals to re-manifest his physical form!" Reiji yelled back.

I couldn't think of anything to say. Z-ARC can't be back. 'What would you have done?' Reiji's question echoed.

"I would have done whatever made the crowd happy, but I would never have hurt my opponents." I said to him.

"I know, Yuya. You're kind and bright, you'd never hurt anyone; I know that." Reiji replies. "But, if the day should come, when you must make that decision, I need to know... on whose side will you fight."

I stare at him, tears welling in my eyes. He thinks I could turn on him? That I could turn on everyone around me? What's this feeling, It's not uneasiness...Hurt? Maybe a little, but...

'Betrayed'

Is that what I feel? Betrayed? But betrayed by who? Reiji? No... He hasn't done anything wrong. I turn and run back to the elevator, closing it behind me.

'I'll show you Reiji... I'll fight for those I care about.'
