Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL Book 5: Sparks Of Freedom
Chapter 1
"A big world, yet I'm stuck here for safety. Rubbish idea." Hades scoffed. "If we had just betrayed them at that first speech Yj spoke we would have been still free from prisons like this. Helen and Tethys both made all of us pay the is unacceptable. They may be afraid of Darkness, but I am not."
He was at the balcony, overseeing Heartland City. Or as it called now, New Future City Hades turned his head to see his sister, Minerva, standing behind him at the doorway to the balcony.
"So you heard me?" Hades asked his younger sister. She nodded. " You disagree? Or are you realizing now too we are prisoners in this Temple made of lies and covered with Barians? The ones who are responsible for this. I know that Caesar, Neptune, Helen and Tethys are feeling the same. Tell me, you thinking we should rat out our parents to return our lives to normal to clear our names?" Minerva placed her hands on her skirt, her shoulder length hair fell down to her to right side. Her facial expression said no, but her mouth said yes. To this, Hades green eyes flashed.
"Good choice, Sister." Hades grinned. "Now, go get your deck and D-Pad. We have to return to our home." Minerva gave another nod.
"Yes." she grinned. "Also, not only will this clear our names, but it'll expose all of the Barians." She was about to head to her room, but she ran straight into the red head..
"Where do you think your going?". the redhead asked suddenly. Hades and Minerva jumped in shock. They knew exactly who it was.
"Vector!" both of them cried out. Vector covered both their mouths.
"Quiet!" Vector snapped in a whisper to the two teens. "You know you two are supposed to be sleeping. Not coming up with ways to turn against us." Hades gulped at the last part.
He knows! Hades thought as Vector dragged them back to their living quarters. Hades and Minvera struggled against Vector's iron grip, but failed. Eventually, he brought them to their living quarters. Minerva walked into her room and when straight to bed. Hades on the other hand, was a bit relucant.
"Vector, I was looking at the City, nothing goodnight."
"Shut the door." Vector told him.
"Fine. Good night." Hades took off his clothes, threw them into the laundry bin near his bed. After he did that, he put on his PJ's, then when into his bed. Folding his arms around the back of his head.
"I will return to the City and get Yj's forgiveness… I will rat this place out."
"My young friend, indeed it is a good idea." a hooded figure stood at other end of the room.
"Who are you?" Hades asked, who sat up on his bed. His green eyes stared into shadowy blue ones.
"Someone who would like to help you see your plan come to tution. Call me a friend." the hooded figure spoke again. Hades just scowled.
"No offense Friend, but how can you help me?" Hades asked him. The hooded figure chuckled darkly.
"I know what you are going through. Your parents, along with Helen and Tethys' parents have put you in a lockdown 24/7. Why, you may ask? It's simple really. They see you as a threat." Hades suddenly jumped out of his bed. The hooded figure chuckled darkly at Hades action.
"They don't see me as a threat. How do you know this?" Hades demanded The hooded figure laughed again, then disappeared.
"You'll find out what I mean soon enough." the hooded figure's voice echoed through Hades room. Once the figure did, Hades bedroom door opened. Revealing none other than Vector, Yen and Michelle. Followed by Heather and Mizar. Hades noticed the 5 adults didn't look very happy at the 16 year old.
"What you want at 3 in the morning?" Hades demanded. "I'm trying to sleep here." Heather just crossed her arms.
"You mean by trying to escape?" Michelle snapped at her son. "You know it's against the rules to do so." Hades just rolled his eyes.
"Where's our freedom in this?" Hades asked sharply.
"It is your safety, not freedom. Yj would never forgive you." Yen replied. Hades raised an eyebrow with anger.
"Oh really?" Hades shot back. "He'll forgive me, but he'll never forgive you!" Hades pointed at the fivesome. Heather stormed over to him. Her long blonde hair blowing wild.
" You really think Yj would forgive you? Ha Ha! He'd have you imprisoned in a matter of seconds." Heather shot back. At this point, Mizar has had it.
"ENOUGH!" Mizar shouted angrily. "I've had it with this arguing. Everyone, go to bed. We'll discuss this tomorrow." Everyone in the room gave a silent nod. After everyone agreed, everyone turned and left, leaving a very angry and very confused everyone was out of earshot, the hooded figure reappeared.
"Friend, you're correct. Guide me please." Hades spoke. The hooded figure chuckled darkly, then pulled his hood back, revealing a blonde haired man.
"My name is Roman Goodwin. But you may call me Roman." Roman spoke in a greeting manner to Hades. Hades outstretched his right hand, to which Roman accepted the shake.
"My name is Hades Darson." Hades spoke. Roman chuckled.
"Yj would forgive you. That's why he sent me to help you.. He bought me and many other figures he respected from the past to here to help people like you. " Roman spoke. Hades gave a nod, then his green eyes widened a bit.
"Wait, Yj?" Hades asked, shocked. "But, I thought Helen Tenjo and Tethys Stone defeated him." Roman chuckled darkly.
"They did defeat him, but that defeat was miniscule compared to Yj's real goal." Roman spoke calmly. Hades walked over slowly to Roman, but Roman stopped him with his hand.
"You don't have to decide now," Roman stopped him as he gestured to Hades bed. "But, I'll expect an answer within 48 hours. Do you understand?" Hades gave a nod.
"Of course I do." Hades replied. Roman gave a nod, then grinned.
"Good." Roman replied. "Because I have some friends that'd like to meet you after the 48 hours is up." Hades nodded again.
"Thank you, Roman." Hades smirked slightly. Roman gave a nod, then snapped his fingers, thus disappearing from the room. Hades plopped back in his bed, folding his arms behind his head.
"Roman, whoever he is, is right." Hades muttered to himself. "Our parents, along with the rest of the former Barians, have been treating us teenagers as little kids by keeping us locked up in here. They tell us it's for our protection. But what if Roman is right? What if we are being locked up in here because we are threat? Hah! I mean, Helen, Caesar, Tethys and Neptune don't see it the way me and Minerva do." Hades began to twist and turn in his sleep. He felt reality slip away as he drifted into a deep sleep. (For now).
In dream/vision…
Hades watched as a redhead fell his knees. He knew exactly who it was. Vector. Hades turned his head to his right, only to see blue eyes looming over Vector. Hades turned his head to see a screen, with all of the former Barians, along with his 5 friends watching Vector suffer at the hands of the blue eyes. However, what caught Hades' attention on the blue eyes was that it had curled a fist.
"Templar Bomb, activate!" the voice of the opponent commanded. The bomb did its job, blowing up the entire arena, leaving its owner unharmed. Vector on the other hand, was not okay. He was limp. The one thing Hades heard before he woke up was:
"VECTOR! NO!" Hades recognized it as Heathers' scream.
Hades woke up with a start, he felt sweat dripping down his face. That was the least of his problems. Another problem he had was when he looked at the clock, it said 10 in the morning. Now, usually that wouldn't be a big deal, but when he remembered that it was parents' turn to sneak into the City and get more supplies, he groaned. After he got up, he took off his PJ's, then put on his clothes for the day. After he did, he walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. He noticed Heather and the long two blue-haired woman. The woman was wearing an apron over her clothes. He gave a light smirk in the blue-haired woman's' direction. The blue-haired woman gave a sad smile back at Hades.
"Good to see you up." the blue haired-woman spoke. Hades gave a slow nod.
"Thanks Mrs. Stone." Hades agreed. Rio smiled at the boy. Heather on the other hand, gave Hades a slight glare. Hades just shrugged it off as the rest of his friends, and sister, came into the kitchen and got plates out for everyone that was here. Hades and Minerva's parents, Yen and Michelle, had left to go to the City to get more supplies since they were running low on some things. Once him and Helen, Caesar, Tethys, Neptune and Minerva have gotten their breakfast's, the sixsome walked into the dining hall, where Helen's Dad, Mizar, and her Uncle, Vector, were sitting. Rio and Heather came in with their food a few moments later.
"So why did they go if there wanted and have a big bounty on their heads?" Hades asked snarkily. Heather began to open her mouth, but Hades continued.
"The City doesn't seem safe for them. Just like you say it is for us." Hades continued cockily. Mizar raised his head from the newspaper. His eyes narrowed. Hades turned his head to face Helen and Tethys, who were gladly eating their breakfast.
"Helen tell me, why are only you,Tethys and the other Barians are wanted, yet me and others have no bounty on our heads?" Helen put her toast on her plate and turned to face Hades.
"Because, you aren't a threat to Yj." Helen replied.
"Well then, Yj would not be against us. So it be smarter to let me and the others gather supplies. Mizar?" Mizar raised his head again from the newspaper, his eyes still narrowed a bit.
"No." Mizar replied shortly. Hades stared at him.
"What? Why?" Hades demanded.
"Unless you know Yj would forgive you, but haha! He wou;ld never sent someone to tell you. We're better off here." Vector laughed. Hades turned his head to face Vector, his green eyes flashed for a bit, then returned to normal.
"Well, regardless if he sent someone to talk to me; I had a dreamish vision." Hades continued. Vector turned to face Hades.
"Did you now?" Vector asked. Heather raised her hand to stop an argument, but the argument never came. Mizar went back to reading the news for New Future City. Hades began to explain the vision. After he finished, Vector stared at him.
"What?" Vector asked, his facial expression spoke shock. Same with Heather's facial expression.
"That can't be true." the grey-haired Booknerd, Dumon agreed.
"Yeah." Caesar chimed in as he got up to put his plate into the sink.
"I agree." The Stone kids piped up as well. Minerva stood up as well, then she spoke something that made Vector want to leave the room, but he didn't.
"Okay, let's say the vision that Hades saw is true. Then what?" Minerva asked.
"Then I die, and we move on." Vector replied.
"Vector…" Heather muttered to herself in worry.
After the group finished their breakfasts, the group when around the Temple doing their chores for the day. Hades didn't like doing his chores, especially since it revolved around the garden Mrs. Tenjo has here.
"Why couldn't Caesar or Helen get this chore?" Hades grumbled. "I mean, they lived at this Temple for 16 years now." Hades continued his chores around the garden. However, he overheard the Stone siblings talking as he watched them walk around the perimeter of the garden.
"Weird vision and chat this morning. You agree Tethys?' Neptune asked his sister Tethys. " You think Hades knows more than meets the eye?" Tethys gave a nod.
"I think so." Tethys agreed.
" He always look out towards the City at night." Neptune continued. Tethys nodded as the two of them continued to talk. Unfortunately for them, Hades heard everything they had said.
"Well, Roman was correct. Where can find him?" Hades thought .Then looked up and then he saw another hooded figure.
Roman? Hades thought, chasing the figure.
"Roman, I agree with you. Help me out!" Hades yelled. The hooded figure chuckled while stopping in his running, allowing Hades to catch up to him.
"Roman you meet last night. I am not Roman, but am another friend of Yj. My name is the Savior of the World." Hades just stared in awe at the hooded figure before him.
"You can bring justice and honor. Make to your name praised by Neo Future City. You have accept the power inside you and let it flow through your very being." The Savior continued, being manipulative as ever. Hades continued to stare at the Savior. Eventually coming to an answer.
"Teach me, Savior of the World. And tell Yj: Yen and Michelle are in the City getting supplies." Hades replied. The Savior chuckled darkly.
"I'll make sure to tell him that." The Savior spoke.
And with that, the Savior disappeared from the area, leaving Hades deep in thought.
Could what he told me be true? Hades thought to himself as he continued to do his chores for the day.
In the biggest building in all of Neo, or New Future City, held a Throne Room-like room at the top floor of the building. Every floor in the building was highly advanced with the latest technology to date. Despite the fact it has been 3 years. After a few moments, a small group of tall men walked into said room. The Leader of the small group, stepped forward towards the Throne.
"It seems Hades has fallen into our little trap." The Leader spoke. The second-in-command walked up to stand next to the Leader.
"He has no idea what puddle he stepped in." the second one spoke up.
"The Shadows will engulf him." a third spoke.
"It is the Will of the Cards that shall guide him to us." a fourth chimed in.
"The Dark energy within him is too much for him to handle." Roman spoke.
"I agree with you, brother." the figure next to Roman added. At that moment, the doors busted open, revealing the second-to-last member of the group.
"Yen and Michelle are in this very City at this moment. They are in the shopping area. Should we reveal them to the citizens?" The Savior asked. All seven of them turned their heads to face the which turned around, revealing the blue eyes and iron fist of a man. Once the chair was swiveled all the way around, he stood up, walking down the steps to the rest of his group.
"Yes I know they've been coming here for months now." the lab coated man chuckled. "But not to worry."
"Not to worry?" The Savior demanded. "Master Yj, they've been gathering supplies to stop us!" Yj on the other hand, brushed the demand away.
"Relax Dartz." Yj chuckled darkly. "Everything is going according to plan." Dartz gave a nod.
"Fine." Dartz muttered. Yj continued to walk down the pathway of the room.
"I brought you seven back to help me get rid of the Barians and their precious kids." Yj laughed lightly. The other seven began to chuckle darkly.
"Indeed," Roman agreed. After Yj finished his little speech, all eight of them began to laugh darkly.
