Hart, memories and duels part 2

Kite and co's p.o.v.

Kite was on his way to his little brothers room. He couldn't sleep and sometimes it helped looking at his sleeping brother. It helped him calm down. However when he arrived at the top of the tower, he found no one. Only a giant crack in the room.

"Hart? Where are you?" He yelled and looked shocked around.

There were sadly no reply. Kite sneered. Hart was not here! Something must have happened. He rushed down the control center who was monitoring Hart and looked angry around.

"Where is Hart?!" He yelled and scared most of the guards in here.

"We are conducting a search" said the leader of the guards "Dextra and Nistro are trying to retrieve it".

Kite just snort and pushed the guard away. Then he made a video call on the screen.


In the helicopter, Nistro and Dextra was on the way to get Hart, when a video call from Kite at the control room was shown.

"Have you two found Hart yet?!" Kite yelled at the video phone "Well have you?!".

"I told the control team to keep the mission quiet" Nistro growled angry "So how did Kite found out?".

Kite looked around at the video phone. It was clear that he was not sure he got contact with them, since Nistro or Dextra hadn't turned the video phone on yet. Nistro snort a little.

"Nistro, Dextra? Come in do you read me?" Kite questioned "Why aren't you answering me?". Nistro snort annoyed.

"Because you are annoying" He said and was about to cut off the transmission.

"No don't cut him off just yet" Dextra said and started the Video phone.

Nistro looked puzzled at her, but didn't say a thing when she began speaking with Kite.

"Calm down Kite" she told him "We can confirm that your brother is safe. Listen we are suppose to bring Hart back and it won't be easy. We will need your help Kite. Your brother was detected on the roof of the windmill tower located in the B area. He is with a boy named Yuma Tsukumo".

Kite looked at them for a second and then he hung up. Nistro looked angry at Dextra now.

"Are you kidding? We are supposed to handle this" Nistro growled "Why bring in Kite?". Dextra was sending him a cold look.

"Because we can't do this without him" She said and saw Nistro flinch "Hart is too powerful in his current state. Last time we tried to grab him the resolves were explosive. Kite is the only person I know that boy trusts. I believe Hart would listen to him and obey on what he says". Nistro sneered a little, but moved the helicopter towards the B area.


At Hartland Tower, Kite was on his way out to look for his little brother. He wondered why he had gone to that place, and remembered him giving the caramel and their capture. Kite sneered. Hart must have been drawn to that place. He had to hurry. He jumped up in the air, equipped with Orbital and flew towards the B area.


Zaira's p.o.v.


"That was certainly a weird goodbye. But Hart did seem to know the guy, so I guess it is okay". I gave out a little growling sound. I could hear voices.

"Ah he will be fine. I guess Kite was too busy to pick Hart up so he send a friend".

"Maybe but I feel like I don't understand anything about Hart. Kite once told me he hunts for numbers to help his little brother, but why?". I let out another exhausted growl. I was sure I knew these voices, but I was to tired to open my eyes.

"Hey Astral... Astral you are spacing out. How does it go by carrying Zaira? I can't believe a ghost can carry my sister".

I frowned a little by that. That voice? That was Yuma's! Wait what does he mean by that a ghost is carrying me?

"Will you stop complaining Yuma. You are not even the one who is carrying her" another voice from before added. I knew that one now too. It was Tori's! "Be grateful he can carry her. We would never have gotten her down from the tower if that wasn't the case. Astral she isn't to heavy is she?".

I frowned a little. In someway not fully aware on what was going on. I tightened my grip in something.

"Yuma, tell Tori she is not heavy" I could hear a new voice say. It was Astral's "I actually think she is about to wake up".

I groaned a little again and this time tried to open my eyes. I succeeded after a little while. I was staring into a couple of red eyes. I was blinking a couple of times and then saw Yuma and Tori standing in front of me.

"Oh Zai you are awake, we were so worried" Yuma said and smiled.

"Where... where am I?" I said in a low voice. I felt so tired. Yuma smiled a little.

"Well we just came down from the tower" He informed me "The windmill tower. You kind of passed out after you gave Hart that Caramel. We had a hard time getting you down from here. Until Astral apparently could picky back you".

"Yeah although it is weird seeing you floating in midair" Tori said and my eyes widened.

I looked slowly around and noticed I was really picky backed by Astral and the thing I was holding around tightly was his neck. I instantly wrapping my arms tightly around him even more. I kind of noticed I floated a meter or two over the ground. Astral actually chuckled a little.

"Are you really so afraid that I would drop you Zaira?" Astral said "Although I have a feeling we have done this before. Picky backed you".

I frowned a little. We have? Then I shrugged. We both could not remember, so yeah maybe we had.

"So how are you feeling?" Astral asked "Want me to put you down or are you to tired? I can carry you home".

I was thoughtful for a moment. I was not sure. I felt really, really tired. I made a mental note to never try that with Hart ever again. Speaking of Hart? I was looking around and couldn't actually not see him.

"Um where is Hart?" I asked. Yuma looked confused at me, then smiled.

"Oh yeah you were out of it. One of Hart's friends came and took him away" He said.

I frowned a lot now. What friend? However before I could ask a sound of a helicopter could be heard, and seconds later the light from it hit us.

"Ah who is it now?" Yuma questioned.

Seconds later Nistro jumped out of the helicopter and was looked pissed at us. He walked slowly towards Yuma.

"Okay kid... what have you..."

However he seconds later stopped up and was staring at me. I was staring back. Then I remembered that Astral was carrying me.

"You are... wait are you floating?!" He said in a disbelieved voice and was rubbing his eyes.

I quickly asked Astral to place me down. Carried by a ghost was not normal after all. Then I surely would get a name as the floating girl or something like that. Nistro looked at me again and was having a really perplexed look.

"But you... the sky girl were floating... and now you there, and you were here" He was totally confused, pointing from the one direction to the other.

I looked at him with my most innocent smile. I think it made him even more confused.

"What are you talking about?" I said and smiled "You seriously need glasses. Or a good night sleep Nistro". He looked at me for a minute and rubbed his eyes.

"Oh these late shifts make me hallucinate. Okay grab the kid and get home, drinking a good cup of coffee and then a good night sleep" He mumbled and then looked at Yuma "BUT first, what did you do with Hart?".

He grabbed Yuma in the collar of his clothes. Yuma was twitching a lot with his body.

"What do you mean?" Yuma asked confused "You guys took him away a few minutes ago".

My eyes widened. They did? Nistro didn't sound that convincing.

"Who took him?" He asked.

Yuma began explaining that someone with a helicopter like theirs took Hart away some minutes ago. I frowned. This was not sounding good.

"Did you hear that Dextra? He says someone with a copter like ours took Hart away" He told her.

Dextra had landed the helicopter and walked out as well. She snort.

"Yeah I heard him, but he must be lying. We are the only ones who are looking for Hart" She told us.

Nistro let go of Yuma, and they both threatened us to tell where Hart was, or we would get banned from the carnival. I sneered. I hadn't a clue and Yuma had apparently given him up to someone. I was not liking this at all.

"Hey what is that?!" yelled Tori suddenly and we all looked up in the sky.

A glider was shown and seconds later Kite and Orbital landed in front of us as well.

"Alright tell me where Hart is? Is my brother ok? Well?!" He yelled at us.

"Kite, they think I am hiding Hart so they won't listen to a word I say" He replied Kite.

Kite looked from Yuma to me, who was sitting on the ground, to Yuma again.

"Well are you hiding him Yuma?" He questioned.

Yuma shook his head and told him the same story, he just told Nistro. That he got picked up by that friend he send.

"I didn't send anyone to pick him up" Kite said and sneered.

Yuma froze. I actually think we all did. This could only mean one thing. Hart got in some way kidnapped.

"Wait if Kite didn't send that guy, then where did he come from?" Yuma questioned.

"Stop try to fool us" Orbital said "We can see through your stupid plan".

I was facepalming a little. Yeah, if it was everyone else than Yuma, who had thought of this plan, then yeah you had to be suspicious. However since it was Yuma, you would know he could never think that up in a million years. Kite was apparently had the same opinion. He made Orbital quiet and looked at Yuma.

"Describe the person who took Hart away" He said in a scary calm tone "Tell me everything. You said it was a guy, so I assume he was male".

"Well yeah" said Yuma and Tori continued "He was young. Maybe 20, and he was tall...". Astral was floating beside Yuma now.

"Tell them... he was 185 cm tall, weight 70 kg" Astral said and Yuma repeated it "He had long hair and his eyes were the color blue...".

I froze. I was happy that I actually was sitting down, because I think I would have fallen down on the ground because of the shock. Only one male character in my memories fits the bill. Quinton! This was not good at all. Who knows what was gonna happen to Hart. I clenched my fists. I was actually wondering, why Quinton didn't take me away then. The crest was still a little active. The 24 hours hadn't passed, but I figured it had been because Yuma and the others had been there. That was the only logical explanation. Nistro and Dextra was arguing about what to do next and in the end, they got back into the helicopter and seconds later they were leaving the place to look for Hart.

"It is my fault" Yuma then said "I should never have let Hart go. I am sorry".

I was agreeing, but it didn't help that I was yelling at Yuma right now. Kite turned around.

"Hart isn't well" He told Yuma "I hope I find him soon".

He began walking away. I sneered. Kite could be so stubborn sometimes. I wanted to help. Especially since I knew who had kidnapped him. Even though I had no idea where he was and I was also not sure I should tell that I knew that guy. I still had to keep the promise to Grace. I clenched my fists a little. If they were doing the same thing to Hart that they had done to me, then I needed to find him really fast.

"Kite wait up!" I yelled and tried to run after him. Instead I fell to the ground.

"Zaira!" they all said in unison and was helping me up. Yuma continued "You are not well yet Zaira. You stopped Hart when he was releasing all that energy. So just relax and let me handle this".

I sneered and forced myself up again. I took another step.

"Kite it is partly my fault that Hart is missing" I said "I was not awake when that idiot to Yuma let your brother go with a stranger. So I wanna help". Kite snort a little.

"What can you do Zaira? You can't even stand or walk. Secondly this is my fight" He told us and was looking at us shortly. I sneered a little.

"No Kite, I promised your brother that we will both meet up again" said Yuma then suddenly "We both did. So please let us help".

Kite was glaring at us for a moment, and we both glared back at him. In the end he sighed.

"Give them the contact code" He told Orbital and the bot saluted and gave Yuma the number on the gazer. Kite continued "But Zaira, you are not coming. You can barely stand. Yuma is right you need rest. It is not like I appreciate your help, when Hart's power went wild, but you are in no condition to fight".

Yuma and the other nodded. I sneered and clenched my fists. I am sorry Grace. I have to break the vow.

"No I have to go as well. I have something I must do" I yelled "You see the guy who kidnapped Hart, well I have a feeling it is the same guy who kidnapped me a day ago".

Everything was dead silence now. Everyone was looking at me.

"You know the guy?" Kite then asked in a serious calm tone. I nodded. He continued "Okay, but still it makes no difference. You are still to sick". I sneered.

"Listen we can discuss this or we can go look for him!" I yelled "I will and want to be a part of this search. I will find them and save Hart, even if I have to crawl to do it, and you can't stop me!". Kite sighed deeply.

"Orbital, we are gonna take off, adjust to wingset B" Kite said and jumped up in the air.

Orbital saluted and quickly transformed to glider mode. Then before I knew it, Kite flew down and grabbed me. I was once again carried by him in bridal style.

"I am borrowing her" Kite said and snort. Then he looked at me "And Zaira, you dare scream my ears off this time got that". I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah crystal clear" I said and then we flew back towards the city.


Quinton's p.o.v.


Around the same time.


Quinton was sitting in the helicopter. He was currently on his way to that place Vetrix had told him to go, as soon as he got Hart. The boy was currently sitting in the cockpit chair beside him and looked tired and maybe were asleep as well. His power had that effect on people when he had controlled them. Something the older arclight was not fond of doing. He had controlled Zaira enough at is was, and doing that to the young Tenjo as well, was not something Quinton was happy doing. However a order was a order. He had actually been a little surprised to see Zaira at the windmill tower as well. The only thing he had been told by Vetrix was to get Hart Tenjo from the windmill tower. He hadn't told him who would be there as well. It was a lucky coincidence she was unconscious at that time, or the whole mission could have been problematic. He could have gotten Zaira as well if he had wanted to, but his orders were only to bring Hart with him. Secondly he was not fond kidnapping people.

"Brother" Hart then got out.

Quinton looked at him, but it still looked like he was sleeping. The arclight sighed. They had just arrived at his destination. An old museum outside of town. If you looked closely it looked like a castle. A castle in a lake with moonlight shining in the pond. Quinton flew closer and landed the helicopter. He grabbed the weak Hart and walked inside. However he hadn't noticed that for a split second before they landed, Hart had weakly opened his one eye and noticed where they were.


Quinton was walking inside the old museum and came to the meeting room. He wasn't surprised to see his two brothers and father waiting for him.

"I presume everything went as according to plan?" Vetrix asked. Quinton nodded.

"Yes, however I also saw Zaira at that windmill tower" He said and sighed inside.

"Well why didn't you bring her here then?" Quattro yelled up "Your crest is still active for one hour if I am correct". Quinton sighed a little.

"That was not my mission. Secondly if I did the ones at the windmill tower would never just hand over Hart to me like they did" He explained. Vetrix grinned.

"Your brother is right. Zaira is of no concern to me. Not right now at least. When I have drained Hart's power from him and taken it for myself, then we can talk about it" Vetrix said and grinned "Begin the ritual".

The others nodded, but Trey did look around just a little, before he began on the work.

"Isn't Grace supposed to be here? I actually thought she would be with you Quinton, since she is not with us" He questioned confused. Vetrix grinned a little evilly.

"Your sister is not coming here" He said and smiled a little "I had a hard session on her just today and I decided to let her rest. However we don't need her at this ritual anyway. You can manage without her right?".

Quinton who had just placed Hart down on the ground, had a stolen look on the little shocked Trey. But who could blame him? No one of them had seen Grace since that day after she betrayed them and freed Zaira. Quinton could only guess what happened to her, and that was not good thing surfacing in his mind right now. He just hoped Grace was okay.

"Of course Vetrix" said Trey then slowly "Grace can have as many breaks as you like. I can take her job on in the meantime". Vetrix grinned.

"Excellent, then get to it" He just told Trey and the boy nodded. They all began preparing the ritual.


Shark's p.o.v.


Shark was confused. So very confused and angry. He was not sure why. Actually he denied the reason why. It was just a trick. His mind was playing tricks on him. She was not the reason. No she just couldn't be! Regardless what Shark kind of thought, his heart was telling him differently. It was telling him that he deep down was in love, and it was sadly not with just any girl. No he was in love with Zaira. However Shark was of course to proud to admit it. He was even too proud to admit it to himself. Which lead him to where he was right now. Driving on his motorcycle because he couldn't sleep. He drove through the city, having his hand on his pocket almost all the time. He could feel the gazer there and actually hoped Zaira would call him. He just couldn't do that call himself. However he knew that if she called, then he would do what she asked of him, whatever that was, just to see her again. Deep down he cursed himself. It was him who had left last time the saw each other. If he had stayed.. if he hadn't acted so cold, would she then.. would she then spend some time with.. Suddenly the thoughts in his head got abruptly stopped. Shark had been having a pit stop at one of the bridge roads in the city and was just leaning at the railing to get some fresh air, when he saw it. He had been staring up in the sky, thinking these thoughts when he saw a... bird?! At first he thought that. Then it flew closer towards him and Shark noticed it was a human boy carried by a glider. He was standing still in the air some meters away from him and was many meters up in the air. If Shark hadn't looked up he wouldn't have noticed the boy and... the one he carried. Shark was sure his body froze completely to ice at that moment. In his arms was Zaira! Shark's heart was beating way to fast right now and he was really shocked. No! It couldn't be her! Shark pull yourself together. You are just fantasising. This is not real! And to prove his point he pinched his own chin, but when he looked up, they both were still up there. Shark bit his lip. So she is really there?! Why is she there? Shark didn't understand a thing. Then the boy began leaving once again, still carrying her. Shark was scretching his hand towards them in attempt to reach them. He knew deep down it was impossible. A lot of questions was running through his head now. What was she doing here? Why where she carried by that boy? Who is he? Wait maybe he is her boyfriend? No don't be silly, Zaira has no boyfriend and isn't that the number hunter?! Shark shook his head. He knew it couldn't be a boyfriend. She would tell him if she had, wouldn't she? Shark stopped up. Or would she? What were their relationship? They were friends, but he had acted cold and pushed her away. Maybe, maybe she really was together with him. No Shark stop thinking like that. She is clearly not going out with him. He is the number hunter after all! He shook his head again. Then another thought was emerging in his head. What if she was on date with him. Shark sneered. Why was she on a date with that guy? He was the enemy! But maybe she spend time around him when he blackmailed her and she fell for him? What does she see in him? He is not her type, he was! He clenched his fists and jumped up on the motorcycle. He needed to ask her about that. Then he drove in that direction he last saw them.


Yuma's p.o.v.


Yuma sighed deeply. He was pretty down. Apparently because of his judgement, Hart was not in custody of a stranger. Which Tori did point out to him. Yuma knew she was just worried for Hart. Yuma was so confused over everything that had happened. Kaito once told him that he hunted number to save his little brother. Save him from what? Yuma felt frustrated here.

"Kite once told me, he hunted numbers to save Hart, but from what? Maybe to cure him somehow? Maybe someone else had promised to cure him? Ahr I wish we knew the truth" Yuma said out in frustration. This was all so confusing. Astral frowned.

"Perhaps we have a clue" Astral said and looked at him "I am curious why Dextra and Nistro were searching for Hart. They were very anxious to recover the boy. As if they wanted to avoid getting into trouble. Maybe they lost Hart and was trying to retrieve him before their superiors found out. Once they got the boy from you, they planned on taking him back". Yuma looked confused at the ghost.

"Back to where?" Yuma questioned. Astral looked at him.

"Nistro and Dextra not only is sitting in the carnival's organize committee, but they are also enforcers for the carnival's chief, Mr. Heartland" He informed them.

"But if they are working for him, then that means...?!" Yuma questioned.

"That it is most likely that they were trying to return Hart to Mr. Heartland" Astral said and sighed "Hart must have been in Mr. Heartland's custody when he escaped".

"Then that means that in order to cure his brother, Kite is forced to collect numbers for mr. Heartland, and so the person behind it all, must be..." Yuma said.

"...Must be Mr. Heartland" Astral finished.

Yuma looked in horror. On one of the screens in front of them was a giant Mr. Heartland standing. Yuma had a feeling he was smiling evilly at them.

"But wait.. the one who took Hart away wasn't working for Mr. Heartland" He then said worried. Astral nodded.

"Yes, which means another figure wants to have control over Hart. Zaira said it is the same person who took her away" He said and clenched his fist.

Yuma sneered as well. He wished Zaira had told them about it, but thought she needed some peace and quiet from back then. He just hoped they found Hart soon.


Kite's p.o.v.


Kite was flying through the sky in glider mode. In his arms he was having Zaira who was clenching to his shirt so she could make sure she didn't fall down. Like Kite ever would let go of her. He was not that heartless. Zaira was not that heavy either. Mostly because Orbital carried the weight but still. She was seriously tired, and even had a hard time keeping her eyes open. Kite would properly have commented it, if it wasn't for the fact that he knew how Zaira would react to that. (she was having the same stubborn attitude as Kite) That and that he didn't have the time for it right now.

"Hart where are you?!" He yelled out "Hart can you hear me? Answer me!".

Kite took a deep breath from shouting. He had stopped up in midair and was looking around for.. well every clue he could get. I will find you! I will Hart! Just like that time! A memory was surfacing in his head now.



Flashback.


In a giant, green, beautiful forest by a giant lake was a boy walking around. That boy was Kite in a, year or two, younger version.

"Hart, come out come out wherever you are?" He said and looked around in the forest, knowing full well that a little blue haired kid was watching him from a tree. He quickly snuck behind him when Hart wasn't looking and covered his eyes with his hands. He could hear Hart giggle.

"I found you" Kite told him and smiled. Hart quickly got free from his grip and smiled at him as well.

"You win Kite, like you always do" He said and grinned "You are really good at hide and seek. It doesn't matter where I try to hide, you can always find me".

Kite sneered and looked around. I will always find you! Just call out. Just call out to me! He stopped up in midair and looked around once again. 

"You really love your brother don't you Kite?" said Zaira suddenly in a weak voice.

"Of course. he is my little brother after all" Kite replied and was wondering why Zaira had decided to talk right now. She had been quiet on the whole trip.

"You looked happy" she then said "Back then... You two looked really happy".

"What are you talking about?" He began and then stopped up "Wait you are talking about the green meadow... our vacation spot? How do you...?".

"Yeah you were thinking about a green grass field with a lake and you were playing hide and seek with Hart" She told him and sighed "I am not reading your mind. It is just... I think I have a link to Hart from when his power hit me. I have been able to see his memories... and since you are...".

"Since I am connected with Hart you are able to see mine too" Kite said and sneered "I seriously hope that is temporary. My memories are mine. Not yours or anyone else's. Only mine and maybe Hart's". Zaira sighed a little.

"Hey I am not doing it on purpose here" She said in a cold voice "I was trying to connect with Hart and on the way stumbled over your memory". Kite looked at her.

"Is it working?" He asked and looked at me "You got to hurry. I need to find Hart".

"Well, take it easy okay. I need to concentrate" She said and sighed "Give me some time. Just call Hart. Maybe I can locate him through you".

Kite sneered. He was not liking that. If she could connect with him memories, then what else could she see. However inside he sighed. If that's what it takes to find Hart, then so be it.

"Fine... give it a shot thief girl, but like I said hurry. I need to find my brother" He told her and Zaira nodded. She closed her eyes and Kite just hoped this worked.


Vetrix's P.o.v.


Vetrix grinned evilly as Hart was lying on the ground at the crest mark, beside him, on the floor. He was awake, but sadly not able to move. He was not Zaira and that was why Vetrix had targeted him in the first place. He was sadly not strong enough to take away Zaira's power. Not yet. So he had to settle for Hart's. He was smirking evilly when the ritual started and the crest's power lifted them both of from the ground. The strings of it's power was wrapping around them both, so they in some way, was attached to each other. Finally, the time has come. I will drain Hart's power and make it mine! He could feel the ritual begin draining Hart's power, and at the same time could feel himself getting stronger. He could hear that Hart slowly was beginning to scream up in pain, but he ignored it. He noticed in the background, that Trey, Quinton and Quattro looking at them. Each with a different face expression. Quinton was as calm as ever. Trey was looking in horror and Quattro had a sadistic smirk on his face. Vetrix also knew that if Grace was here, she would not even notice the ritual, maybe let alone care. He wasn't actually sure. However what he did know was that she was properly tired. He had been hard on her after all. Deep, deep, deep down there was actually a little guilt, but it was quickly pushed away by his fuel of anger. His anger for revenge. My plan for revenge can long last be fulfilled. With my new power, Dr. Faker will have no chance. The ritual continued and Vetrix could feel himself getting slowly stronger and stronger. At some point he could see a picture inside his mind. A beautiful blue/white energy place could be seen. Ah yes I can sense it. It is so beautiful. This must be Astral world. Hart's power truly are great. The potential is truly awesome, and when I get Zaira's power as well, I will be even stronger than I possible can imagine. I will be all powerful! In the meantime, Hart was screaming up now and was calling for Kite. Kite and Zaira as well. Vetrix only grinned evilly. He didn't care that he hurt the boy.

"Your power is truly awesome Hart" He told the boy "It is a shame you can't keep some of it, but unfortunately I must have all of it for myself".

Then he grinned evilly and waited for the ritual to finish.


Zaira's p.o.v.


Around the same time.


I sighed deeply. I took some deep breaths and was trying to get in touch with Hart. I sadly didn't succeed. I have tried to avoid using Kite's memories to find him. I understood completely. I would never be fond of letting others see my memories as well. Even if it was only few. My memories was my memories after all. Therefore I was using my own. These few memories I had with Hart.

"So... feel anything?" asked Kite.

I sighed deeply. If Kite could stop nagging me then I could properly feel something. I was about to say something, when I felt it. A weird sort of energy rushed through me, followed by intense screaming.

"Kite... I got it... I got through" I said weakly. I was shaking a little. My head hurt.

"What? You got though to Hart? Where is he?" Kite sounded desperate.

"I... I can't hold it back" I whispered and let out a scream. An identical scream Hart was using and his voice was speaking through me in some way. "Help me brother!".

"Zaira what is... you are speaking with... Hart! Is that you?" Kite sounded surprised and scared. I couldn't see him, because I had my eyes closed.

"Save me big brother... Kite hurry please!" I said and mimicked Hart's voice. "Brother I need you! Hurry Kite!". Hart sounded so desperate.

"I am here Hart!" Kite yelled "How can I find you? Tell me!".

Hart was screaming Kite's name a couple of more time and was asking him to save him.

"Hart where are you?" Kite yelled. He sounded so much more desperate.

"Look for the moon... in the water... and a... white castle" I said and let out yet another scream and the connection broke in some way. I opened my eyes and gasped for air.

"Zaira?" I could hear Kite say and noticed he was actually looking down at me.

His face actually looked a little worried. I blinked a little and sighed.

"The connection broke. I am sorry. I can try again though" I said in a weak voice.

"No. Don't bother" He said and sighed "It is like the lab experiment all over again. We are forcing way to much energy out of you, and if we continue, you will surely end up dead. Like I told you, you are not gonna die on me, before I got your number".

I lifted weakly an eyebrow, but didn't say a thing.

"It looks like to me... ma.. master Kite, that you actually care... about this girl" Orbital said from inside the glider. Kite was sending Orbital a cold look.

"Shut it up Orbital or I will shut you down for good!" Kite sneered at the bot.

"Yes sir... shutting up right now" the bot said, but I noticed his teasing voice.

"So what are we going to do now...?" I said slowly. Kite looked at me and snort.

"You? You are gonna rest up and are doing absolutely nothing" Kite said in a cold tone "I on the other hand are gonna follow these instructions, and find this white castle with moonlight".

I sighed deeply. I couldn't argue with him on that. I was damn tired. I just hoped we found Hart before it was to late.


Yuma's p.o.v.


Around the same time.


Yuma and the group was looking around in the city for Hart, when Astral suddenly stopped up. Yuma noticed it instantly and stopped up as well and looked at his friend.

"Astral something wrong?" He questioned. Astral nodded.

"Hart is in trouble" He said. Yuma looked confused at him.

"What kind of trouble?" He asked worriedly. Tori stopped up as well.

"You mean Hart? Do you think he is in great danger?" She asked.

Yuma shrugged and looked over at Astral. He had closed his eyes for a minute and looked thoughtful.

"Hart needed help right away" the ghost then finally said "He is quite desperate". He began explaining that he apparently could hear Hart scream for help to Kite.

"So wait Hart doesn't know the name of the place?" Yuma questioned. Astral nodded.

"No but he described it" He told them "It must be near water and it looks like a white castle".

Yuma sneered. There were a lot of water around here, but no castles. Suddenly Tori was holding up her mini pc. Apparently she had been looking up some info and now showed Yuma a picture.

"Look here Yuma, this is the abandoned museum just out of the city" She told him "It does sort of look like a castle". Yuma nodded.

"Yeah you are right Tori" He said. Maybe that was the place Hart was at.

"And look here, there is a pond around it, maybe that was where Hart saw the reflection of the moon" she questioned. Yuma nodded once again.

"Then that must be the place" Yuma said and smiled. "Come we have no time to lose".

He rushed down the streets and was calling Kite up on the gazer. However they didn't know that a certain Shark was looking down at them from a bridge.


Time skip.


Yuma, Astral and Tori was standing at the fence to the old Museum and was waiting for Kite and co. to show up. They could see the museum through the open fence, however the water was making it impossible to get over to, unless you were in for a swim. However Yuma was gonna figure that out, when the rest of the party had arrived. Seconds later Kite was soaring through the sky above them.

"Orbital!" he yelled and unequipped himself to Orbital.

Yuma was about to get a Heart attack. Kite had also tossed Zaira up in the air and had landed on the ground himself, while looking around. Zaira was on the other hand, screaming like hell and falling through the sky. Luckily Orbital catched her and she landed safe and sound on the ground, seconds later. She was staring angry at Kite.

"Curse you Kite. Are you planing on to give me a heart attack?" She yelled at him "Next time give me a warning". Kite just snort a little.

"You came down safe and sound so what is the problem" he just said.

Zaira was yelling cursing words at him. She was still carried by Orbital in glider mode. Kite kind of ignored her. Yuma was not sure how do relate to that stupid fight they were having, and decided to not come in between the cross fire. Instead he said:

"Kite, Hart is locked away in that old museum over there". Kite looked at him.

"How can you be sure of that Yuma?" he questioned. Yuma looked puzzled.

"Um I just know okay" He replied. Kite sneered angry at him.

"It is not okay. There is no room for error. My brother is not well" He said angry.

"Kite I need help, please hurry!" could they all hear and looked suddenly over at Zaira.

She had closed her eyes and looked like she was in a trance. Yuma looked confused at his sister. Astral was floating around her as well.

"Kite what is going on with my sister?" Yuma asked confused. Kite snort.

"She can apparently connect to Hart in some way. After she got hit by his power" He replied and clenched his fists "Since she is reacting. Hart must be here".

"That is indeed interesting" Astral said and touched Zaira. She was slowly waking up again "But Yuma we are running out of time".

Yuma nodded and began asking Kite to come up with a rescue plan. He just hoped they could save Hart in time.


Quinton's p.o.v.


Inside the museum, Quinton and his brothers were looking at a security screen, showing the view outside the museum. They could all see Yuma and his group standing outside and was talking about getting in there. Quinton looked puzzled.

"How did they find us so fast?" He questioned. Quattro grinned.

"Who knows?" He said and shrugged "Maybe someone tipped them off, or maybe Kite followed you here Quinton?". Quinton snort.

"No that is impossible" he just replied. Quattro smirked evilly.

"Well since they are here, it would be rude not to say hello, and then bid them goodbye" He said "I will be back". Quinton looked coldly at him.

"Don't push your luck Quattro" He replied back to him.

"Do you think these losers are too tough for me to handle?" His brother questioned.

"Don't underestimate Kite. He is a powerful duelist. So is Zaira" Quinton told him "It is only necessary for you to delay them, until Vetrix has completed the ritual".

"Hmm once we duel there is no guarantee" Quattro said and snort "I may not be able to hold back".

Then he began leaving the room. Quinton sighed deeply. Why was keeping an eye out for Quattro so hard sometimes. He turned toward his little brother.

"Trey, keep him raged in" He then said "And don't forget the mission comes first. So don't get to distracted, because Zaira is there. Do you understand?". Trey nodded.

"I understand brother. You can count on me to get the job done" He replied and left the room quickly after.

Quinton sighed deeply. Right about now, he wished Grace was here to take some of the pressure of being the responsible one. She could keep them both wrapped in. He just hoped they could keep each other wrapped in. He looked over at the ritual and hoped Vetrix would be finished soon.


Zaira's p.o.v.


I sneered at Kite. I was still angry that he had tossed me in the air without warning. I know he had ordered Orbital to catch me, but seriously! It was no wonder the guy was having no girl friend. I actually wondered why Dextra liked him. In the end I shrugged. It was not the time to argue about small stuff, especially since Hart was in terrible danger. If I was correct and it was Quinton who had kidnapped him, then I had a good idea what was happening right now. Vetrix was trying to take Hart's energy. I sneered. I hoped he at least had given up on claiming mine, but I still would give up my own energy if that meant that Hart wasn't in harm's way. He was just a kid and so young one at that. Oh I was longing to go inside that place and kick Vetrix's butt. I think Kite was thinking the same thing. Yuma and Kite was talking about a rescue plan when suddenly we could hear a rumbling sound. A stone/marmor bridge appeared from beneath the water and made a pathway to the museum. I sneered. Was they really that corky, that they were inviting us in just like that? I was smelling a trap. The others looked at the bridge as well.

"It seems that Hart's captures are inviting us in" said Astral. I nodded in agreement.

"Well let's accept their invitation and go at them deck to deck" Yuma then said.

However Kite had other plans. Apparently he want to do this alone. After some shouting from both me and Yuma, stating that we got Hart into this mess, we persuaded Kite in some way. Actually Yuma decided to rush in there before Kite could stop him. Kite soon followed with Tori at his tail. I sneered.

"Okay Orbital get me in there" I said to the glider wings on my back. I had no idea on how to steer this thing. I could hear and feel Orbital hesitate.

"But Ma...ster Kite ordered me to... keep you out of danger" the robot said. I sneered.

"Oh and you can't do that when we are inside" I questioned.

"But I know that is... not what ma. .ster Kite wants" Orbital said. I sneered again.

"I don't care what he wants!" I yelled "Don't you want to help him and Hart?! Now get me in there or I am gonna... turn you into scrap metal".

"Ihh I um... I understand my lady... let's get going" Orbital said and flew inside after them.

We arrived at a giant old hall. It was having pillars and statues in here, as well as a marmor floor. However the walls and pillars were a little destroyed. It was clearly that this place hadn't been used in a long time. I had just gotten in there when the doors locked behind us and I could hear an annoying laughter. I sneered. I knew that voice and wasn't surprised when Quattro and Trey were shown, standing on one of the giant statues shoulders and was looking down at us.

"If it isn't the infamous Kite. It is such an honor" Quattro said and grinned. The two brothers jumped down from the statues and was now standing in front of us.

"Hey it is Quattro!" yelled Yuma angry and clenched his fists. Kite looked at him.

"You meet before?" the hunter questioned.

Yuma nodded. He began telling that it was Quattro who had hurt his friends Bronk and Caswell in a duel. Tori nodded in agreement. She looked really scared. Quattro only smirked.

"I will be happy to duel you two tweep. You will suffer the same fate as your friends" He told Yuma.

Astral tried to tell Yuma that he need to calm down. He couldn't duel with anger. I nodded in agreement.

"And the little thief girl Zaira is in here as well" Quattro said in a mocking tone "Isn't that great for you Trey? Trey? Trey?".

Quattro turned to where his little brother was supposed to be, but he was not there. He was standing in front of me instead. Orbital had just put me down, but had yet unequipped himself. Trey had kneeled down once again like a gentleman and taken my hand.

"Oh my beloved Zaira, it is so good to see you again" He said and looked up at me with the most happiest smile I ever seen "It is so long time since we saw each other last time, and you have acquired wings. They look so beautiful on you. Now you really are an angel. My beautiful angel".

Trey let out a deep sigh. I sweatdropped a lot and sighed deeply inside as well. I quickly took my hand away.

"Hi Trey" I said in a cold tone, hoping he could take the hint. Apparently he couldn't.

"Oh my beloved Zaira, you still remember me" He said happily "I was thinking that we two could go on a romantic...".

However he never finished, because Quattro had quickly walked over there and grabbed his collar and dragged him back.

"Okay quit it cassanova, we are on a job here remember" He said. Trey looked puzzled, then his eyes widened.

"Oh yeah the mission" He said and got up on his feets "I forgot. It is just... she is so pretty and I couldn't help myself". Quattro just sighed. Kite sneered at them.

"Okay you two bunch of idiots, where is my brother!" Kite yelled. Quattro smirked.

"Idiot?! Well that is not very nice considered we know where he is" He said and grinned "And just relax, no harm has come to him. At least not yet".

"What does that mean?" Kite yelled angry. Quattro smirked again.

"When we are finished we will turn Hart back over to you" He said "Or what is left of him".

He smiled a malicious smile. They tossed two duel anchors at Kite and Yuma, which means that they can't leave the duel field. I didn't like this at all. I tried to walk forward, but fell to the ground pretty easy. I couldn't leave or do a thing.

"This would be a tag team duel" Astral commented.

I nodded. I had placed myself up at the wall. I couldn't do much, so I decided to watch. Tori was right beside me.

"Excellent, bring it on!" Yuma yelled. "Just sit back and watch Zai". I nodded.

"I will crush you creeps and get my brother out of here!" Kite yelled and did photon transformation. "Your souls will be mine".

The two brothers also got ready with their gazer and duel disk. I was just wishing and hoping they could win and reach Hart before it was to late. And epic tag duel began.


A,N: Well that was that chapter. At the next one the duel begins. I am not sure I write the whole duel in it or not. We will see. However Shark has some fun pow's later on at least and we will also see some memories of the tenjo's as well as Zaira's. So hope it sounds interesting.
