~~

Last time on Yugioh 5Ds Lost Memories!! After talking to Goodwin about my powers and what that might entail in the battle to come, I had much more on my mind than usual. With worry and doubts about if I could even be of good use to my friends against the Dark Signers. I'm afraid that the Dark Signers will try to use me against the others since they are apparently an ancient ability that might've helped inspire the bad guys long ago. Because of this revelation, I began to doubt I should go to Satellite. However, my friends began to assure me that they wouldn't let that happen. That I would never let myself be used by the Dark Signers. I hope that they're right... Yet seeing what happened to Satellite recently, its been covered by a dark fog and we can't see what is happening there! We have to go there as soon as possible! In the morning we'll be heading there. Let's just hope I don't start doubting myself and my powers before we leave to save the world...

Even if I couldn't see where I was going, I still walked through the dark nothingness like I had a destination. Even if I knew that I didn't.

I know instantly that this was all a dream by the white and black dress I wore. It was a similar style and look like my Garden of the Moon Kingdom dress. Except my hair wasn't long or tied up, and there were no flowers. Plus, the shoes I would've worn were gone as I only walked on the hard floor barefoot. The sash and undertone of the dress that would've been purple, were instead a dark black.

Still walking, I tried to remember what was the last thing that happened. After watching what had happened to Satellite, we all needed to get some rest before we left for the place in the morning. One of Goodwin's workers in the mansion showed the others and I our rooms we will be staying in. Each of us had our own luxury guest room to rest in.

After rejuvenating in my own luxury bath like the queen that I am, I decided to hit the hay, falling into dreamland which now I am in here.

Walking in absolute nothingness again.

'Seriously why do all my dreams have to be like this?' I thought with an eye roll.

"." The voice of Void said within this void.

"I should've known you wanted to talk." Groaning, I stopped walking looking around the emptiness. Placing a hand on my hip, leaning to the side, "so what am I doing here for? Can't you just give me like a normal dream? Something with blue raspberry slushes and those little fancy desserts I had earlier would be awesome!"

If Void had a face, it would probably look at me unamused or annoyed. Which brought a smile to my face that I can annoy him like he annoys me sometimes.

"."

"'Train me'?" I repeated furrowing my eyebrows together. "How are you gonna do that? Are ya gonna train me in dueling?"

He answered immediately, "

Okay I guess that makes sense. "So, I'm here in my head, to learn to control and use this thing inside of me just a tiny bit each 'training session'?" I asked putting 'training session' in air quotes.

"Sounds good to me!" I just agreed sitting down on the mass beneath me, cross legged with my hands in my lap. "Alright, lesson number one, hit it!"

'The faster I get control of these powers, hopefully then it will be harder for the Dark Signers to use them like Goodwin said. And with more control, then I could turn it on them and make them pay like I want to.' I thought waiting for Void to begin.

Wait, that reminded me of something, "hold on. Won't Yusei and the other signers feel it. I remember that I can sometimes cause their marks to glow. And we're near that Crimson Dragon temple so..."

I sighed relieved, hoping he was right, then nodded. Sitting up straight, placing my hands on my knees then closing my eyes like he instructed. "Okay. Do it."

Just at those words, there was suddenly a warm feeling in my chest. It felt familiar to those times I felt agitated or upset, but it was also a lot cooler. Still warm like a tiny match of a flame in my heart, but manageable. Yet it already felt powerful.

Even if it was warm like heat. It also had another feeling. A feeling of dread and negativity. A feeling of darkness. Like a little black flame.

I followed his steps, focusing only on the little flame. It almost felt like the warmth was spreading through my body. But not in a consuming way, but in a sort of blanket keeping me warm. As if it was becoming one inside my body.

Void instructed again that I followed leaning a little to place my hands down. "

Shutting my eyes tightly, I tried moving all this feeling into my hands like he said. It was struggling hard. Like I needed a little more force to get it to listen.

I was trying. Till one last push of focus onto the tiny flame, I could feel it move swiftly and erupt from the palm of my hand, underneath my fingertips. The ground no longer felt like an invisible solid mass. There was a new texture to it was a cool, squish like feeling. Like if I pushed into it, I could sink right in.

Opening my eyes out of curiosity, I looked to see what happened to the ground beneath me and saw it had become that dark ink like floor I have witnessed before.

I'm assuming he's referring to those web vine things.

"Wait 'real test'? I thought you said this was training?" I asked confused looking around.

Instead of Voids echoing voice, I began to hear all new voices, "monster!"

I looked around in shock trying to find the source, but the words kept echoing as if multiple people were repeating it. There was a mix of children and adults around me repeating the same word.

Groaning in pain at their words giving me a headache, it was getting hard to ignore them.

"Monster!"

"Witch 2.0!"

"Why does Yusei even hang out with you?! You'll just bring him down!"

"We don't need any more destruction! She's going to destroy us all!"

I shut my eyes as if that would help in anyway, the flame in my chest getting hotter and bigger. I couldn't feel their emotions, but just the anger in their voice was enough. These were memories, people treating me like I was some kind of creature to hurt them. Which with this power, I might...

When I could feel the liquid beneath my fingertips ripple as if shaking from an earthquake, Void's voice returned with guidance. "

Calming my mind, I began to calm my breathing. Focusing back into making that hot feeling just a null warm power. The rippling of the ink even seemed to calm down. I began to ignore the voices, as they just became a hushed whisper in my head now. They were annoying but more manageable to not let it bother me.

There might be moments where these memories and voices bother me when my ability is a lot stronger, but for now it's just little by little...

"This is your fault, Cathy!" My eyes reopened like a gunshot went off at this voice! No! Anyone but him! "What's wrong Cathy?! Can't look at your dear friend you betrayed?!"

My head looked up ahead to see there was an actual figure to this voice talking to me, and it was someone I especially didn't want to see.

"Kalin! Shut up! Leave me alone!" I told at the Dark Signer who only laughed at me.

"Oh, but why should I? Why did you forget about me, dear friend? Because you couldn't live to remember what you did to me?!"

But all I could do was groan in pain when that burning feeling returned in my chest once more. I tried keeping my hands placed in front of me, closing them into fists though, still trying to ignore him like I did with the other voices.

"Yusei should've just left you in that fire!" He cackled psychotically. "Just you wait Cathy, soon you'll be joining me, and you will help me destroy your best friend you care about so much."

The tears forming in my eyes from both the pain and his words echoing around me, but still I just kept on focusing on my small amount of power released. Still trying to contain it.

"You're wrong. I will never betray Yusei. I will never betray my friends. You will have to kill me first!" I shouted back to Kalin watching his form turn into an ink like figure before melting away in the floor.

Panting, my breath shallow, dream sweat dripping off my forehead to the ground. It was getting so hard to breathe in this dream world. "Please..." I begged Void breathlessly. "Please no more..."

"Cat?"

...No.

Slowly, I lifted my head once more, eyes locking onto the familiar brown eyes of the dirty blonde Arcadia Movement duelist.

"No... Liquid...?"

How I wanted to get up from the ground to run to him and give him that big hug. But my legs felt like lead underneath me.

"Cat? Why did you leave?"

I shook my head rapidly, "I had to! I had to help Yusei! Follow my past!'

"But look what happened to me."

Suddenly far into the darkness, the large skyscraper of the Arcadia Movement headquarters emerged from it. Before the tower burst into flame, Liquid's silhouette standing in front of the destruction. A grim smile on his face.

"You caused this. You could've saved me. If you stayed."

"Liquid I'm sorry! It was the Dark Signers! They caused-"

He only shook his head before turning into a dark ink figure, saying one last time, "but you could've helped. You could've saved me."

I reached my hands out, letting go of the ink floor while he sunk into it. Shouting his name one last time before he disappeared. Leaving me alone on the floor, the destroyed Arcadia Movement being the only thing here with me. The flames being the only light source causing my body to tremble more.

"No..." I whispered, the tears streaming down my face. I stared at it all dumbfounded.

I have to wake up!

I need to get up! Get out of here!!

My chest, it's burning up! It hurts so much, I'm trying to contain it but it's painful! Screams began to echo around me. Screams of pain and terror surrounded me in the darkness, haunting and shaking me to my core!

"

No. No! I don't want to be here any more! Get me out! No more!!

"Let me out!!!" I screamed out!

Till my eyes shot open to this time the dimly lit rich guest bedroom in which I was staying in. I shot up from the soft plush bed gasping for air like I was just trapped under water for minutes. Placing my hands slowly shaking on my chest. It rapidly going in and out.

My tears kept falling from my eyes like the sweat sticking to my back and forehead. My mind began to refocus on the room I was in, all the expensive furniture I could see from the dim blue light of the moon from my window.

Wiping my eyes, I just covered my face to cry remembering that look of Liquid. His words in my mind stinging more than the words Kalin spoke to me. More than the painful screams that were happening around me.

' Void apologized in my thoughts.

"Why...?" I asked in barely above a whisper. "Why did you show me that?"

Before I could ask anything further, a soft knock came at my door snapping me out of it. The knock was quick and rapid, even if gentle against the wooden surface, which immediately made me think this was urgent.

Getting up from the bed, my bare feet touching the polished cold hardwood floor. Bringing one blanket that was on the bed over my shoulders, holding it close to me to feel a sense of security. I shuffled to my door, feeling a little weak from all that "training" I place my hand on the handle and opened the door to reveal Yusei standing at my doorway?

"Y- Yusei? What are you doing here?" I asked quietly, as to not disturb anyone else down the hall in the other guest rooms.

The black hair and yellow streaked guy wore only his black and red sleeveless shirt and jeans, which made sense since we all didn't have sleepwear to rest in. I was also just wearing my sweater dress and leggings, with my vest, headband, boots, and socks on the other side of my room.

"I'm sorry Cathy. I just felt like something was..." he paused. I watched as his left hand came to grip the forearm of his right arm. Where I could clearly see his red Crimson Dragon mark that would usually be hidden behind his gloves, unless glowing, was.

I looked back up at him, now knowing what he was saying. 'Did he feel my powers activating and came to check on me?'

"Are you okay?" He asked quietly also, and in the blue light from my room behind me, looking into his dark blue eyes. They almost seemed to be brighter.

Hugging my blanket closer to my body, turning my head to the side to avoid eye contact. Hoping that my orange eyes didn't have that strange appearance to them again. Should I tell him about the training? Or about the kind of "dream" I had just now?

I bit my lip, to the point of nearly drawing blood, his voice caught me off guard once more. "You've been crying..." he whispered but in a tone that more was him noting my probably puffed-up eyes and red nose.

"I had a nightmare... about Kalin and," I froze trying not to imagine completely of what happened. "... Liquid."

"I'm sorry Cathy." He apologized knowing this was a touchy subject.

We just stood here for a minute, unsure on my part what to say. I didn't want to say I'm fine, because by gosh I was not. Plus, I really don't want to be alone... or with Void. So, I took a deep breath, before looking back at Yusei then moving to the side to give him room, "could you, umm... stay with me for a bit? Please? Just for a little bit!"

Yusei looked at me, his stoic expression much softer as he watched me, before a small assuring smile graced his face. He nodded slightly, "okay. However long you need."

That brought a small smile to my face as well while Yusei came inside my room, and I closed the door softly behind him. When it shut quietly, I walked back into my room to my bed before sitting on the side of the mattress. Looking at my bare feet, kicking them back and forth, I listened to Yusei coming closer. Then felt the sinking pressure on the bed change as he sat next to me.

We sat in silence, and honestly, I didn't mind that. It was peaceful. Better then what I just went through.

After a few more minutes, I peeked over at Yusei who looked to be also lost in thought. His hands clasped together in his lap, back bent over in a thinking posture. Till I looked back at the red mark on his arm. The tail mark of the Crimson Dragon, that always seemed to fill me with tension. It's most likely because of what Void said about the Crimson Dragon temple and me.

"Did your mark glowing wake you up?" I asked not even hiding the fact I know what most likely happened.

Yusei turned his head to look into my eyes, "no, I was already up."

I nodded then looking back down. "Tomorrow is the big day, huh? We're all going to Satellite to finish these Dark Signers."

"Yeah."

"I know we're all trying to be optimistic, especially since it's fear and doubts that are what give the Dark Signer's an edge, but..."

I didn't know how to finish my train of thought without sounding negative. But Yusei did it for me. "It's still a big battle that could decide the fate of the world."

Nodding again, I scooted closer to Yusei on the bed placing my hand on both of his. "You okay?"

We both looked at each other again, easily being able to see the other in the darkness. He gave a small smile once more, giving a slight nod as well. "Yeah. As long as I have you, the others, just my friends by my side, I'll be okay."

I smiled back him. "Good. Cause we all will be with you to cheer you on." I know earlier today I gave the choice of not going, which I'm a little on the fence about still, but I knew this is what he wanted to hear right now.

Staring deep into each other's eyes, I gave Yusei's hand a gentle squeeze, enjoying the silence again. Until he spoke, "Cathy... are you okay?"

He asked the question again, but he did know the answer already. Looking down from his deep gaze, I muttered, "I'm hoping I can control or hide my powers soon. So, the Dark Signers won't be able to use them..."

"Cathy-"

"I know what you're going to say Yusei," interrupting softly, then letting go of his hands. I kept staring at his red and black shirt, even if it wasn't what I meant to focus on. "I know you and the others won't let that happen... I trust you guys... I just..."

I shut my eyes, feeling my teeth and jaw clenched tightly. "It's like a duel. You have to plan ahead and assume the moves your opponent is going to make." I explained in the best way possible. "These powers, whatever they are, is something that needs to be controlled. You know from first-hand experience the danger they can cause... if I could use them to maybe even help or save you guys, like how I couldn't save..."

I didn't realize I was about to cry again, till my voice cracked at the end. The vision of Liquid haunting me from earlier.

"That wasn't your fault." Yusei assured placing his hand on my shoulder.
