Die For You

Darkness covered the burning city.  Thick clouds prevented any natural light from reaching New Domino City and Satellite.  The dark, heavy clouds spun in a spiral at the peak of the large castle that was standing in the middle of the city.  Lightning erupted in them, creating thunderous booms that sounded like the sky was roaring; the thunder practically shook the demolished city.

Yōkai stood on the highest balcony of the castle, looking down at his destruction.  He then looks down at the two cards in his hand with a large grin plastered on his face.  He has been waiting for this moment his whole life and he finally has the two things he needed.  After 5000 years of fighting, his plan was finally in motion.  Yōkai also had a third card in his other hand.  The card didn't sparkle and shine like the other two cards that the Moon King and Sun Queen created.  The third card had black smoke misting off of it which matched the theme of the card.  This dark card is Yōkai's creation and it had never been revealed to the world until now. 

"With the combined power of Dragon of the Moon, Dragon of the Sun, and my creation, I will be unstoppable and the world will finally be under my complete control.  I will be the strongest entity on this planet, and eventually I will become the strongest God of all time. And no one can stop me now!"  Yōkai bellowed victoriously with a thunderous laugh. 

"I can," A voice interrupts Yōkai's little moment of "victory," causing him to stop laughing.  He recognized that voice which made him internally growl in frustration and annoyance, however, he was also surprised to hear that voice.  He turned around slowly to look behind him, and on the other side of the room was a silhouette of a person with a pair of familiar glowing eyes.  The flash of the lightning lit up the room briefly, revealing the identity of the person who was in the room with him.  He hums, amused that the person was standing before him and challenging him.  Their two colored eyes continued to glow, glaring at Yōkai as the person declared, "And I will."

Moments before
With Crow, Dove, Leo and Luna
--

Crow, Dove and Luna felt their marks stop glowing suddenly, snapping them out of focus from thinking of all the memories they shared with Xina and Yusei.  They look down at their marks and Dove questions, "Did it work?"

"I'm not sure, but I hope so," Crow answers, still looking down at his forearm.

Luna adds, "I can't tell either."

While the three of them were analyzing the marks on their forearms, Leo looked down at his arm, realizing it was stinging the whole time.  His eyes widened as a few inaudible noises came out of his mouth.  Luna looked at Leo to see her brother in a state of shock as he stared at his arm; his mouth was opened ajar, his eyes were wide, his body trembled and he was sweating.  "Leo, what's wrong?" She asks, concerned for her twin.
