The Search Begins

Autumn nods "Yeah. Duel Monsters is pretty much the life blood of Domino. Without it, we wouldn't have an identity." she says as she gets off the train and heads out.

It really doesn't take long to get to the clock fountain where on a big screen, on one of the buildings, there was a high level duel going on and there was also a huge crowd watching and cheering their favorite duelists.

That seemed to be true, as Urata didn't see anything that would make domino city stand out among others. Then again, they had hologram tech so maybe they would have made some other game or acticivity that would of been a hit, at least in their own city.

As the two were exploring and seeing what they could see, Katsura was simply observing the duel. She was having a jolly good time, some of guys being cute didn't hurt either.

'What the? What is it doing?' She had glanced at her watch and the coin thing was reacting in some way. Although she had No clue what it was but it had to be important for something right?

Autumn was getting distracted by the duel as well as they wandered around the crowd, looking for anything that would lead them to their fourth member.

She casually glanced at her watch, after remembering Why they were there in the first place and feels a rush of excitement as she sees it slowly pulsing with a magenta glow "Oh! Oh! Urata!" she says as she excitedly smacks the Hunter's arm "Look!" she says as she holds up her watch to him "There's No way we got This lucky! In a city of Thousands, the One person we're looking for just Happens to be in the Very First place we check!" she says, excited.

Urata didn't think it was luck at this point. Maybe if it was just had been Autumn but definitely not Traxxis who also happened to know a lot and then potentially someone else. Come to think of it, without them Traxxis he and others would likely be mostly in the dark. So there had to have be someone or something before then or at present to help people get adjusted right? Questions for later.

"I don't think its luck. Maybe it subconsciously draws us together or something.." Urata hadn't really bothered checking the watch at first(though he should have). Unfourtnately, at least far as he knew it didn't seem to directly go to said person and it was still a large crowd. "We're still gonna have look around these large crowds but at least we know they're around."

Autumn still thought it was pure luck or a complete coincidence that they all ended up in Her city at the same time. Subconscious or not the odds of them all showing up in Domino City All at once were astronomical and no one would convince her otherwise.

She looks around and frowns slightly "Well, we can't go checking out people's wrists for a transformation watch because almost Everyone here has something on their wrist..." she nods to the crowd and sure enough, many of them have Duel Disks on.

She looks at the makeshift stage for the Kaibaman show that was going to happen later and she gets an idea "Hey, Urata!" she says as she grabs his arm "Maybe you can go on stage and use the monitor to flash your transformation watch to the camera." she suggests, since there was a camera there to broadcast the Kaibaman show to the crowd "Maybe say you're here to check the equipment and your transformation watch just so Happens to pass infront of the cameras? Don't be too obvious with it and let it happen 'Naturally'." she says.

"It's worth a shot." With that said, he went over to play the part of checking the equipment. This is where being a Hunter came in handy, as at least he wasn't a complete random asking to check on the equipment briefly. He did wonder if there was a freak chance a Negative Knight would see it, or they also were drawn to them in some way. The chances seemed extremely low, but again the chances of them all meeting was tiny as is as well.

Once he was done, he headed back to Autumn. "Now we just have to wait a bit. If they're around they should hopefully show up." He doubted they instantly stand out. Then again Traxxis did, but that seemed like a outlier.

Katsura for her part Did actually see it. Which at least let her know there was more of them? She couldn't make heads or tails of some of this stuff but that part made sense at least. 'So keeping in mind where that is. I Think I know where that area is.'

Autumn watches Urata comes back "We should wait by the stage, just in case she shows up." she suggests as she moves through the crowd. In the meantime, she was gonna wait and watch some of the duels. She needed to get back out there.

Urata didn't disagree with this. If they were around then it would be best just to be around the general area. There was a chance they somehow did miss things but if so they would deal with it when the time came.

However, a bit after a young woman with horns comes over to Urata and Autumn. "Hey..so not trying sound out there but I saw briefly something on your watch that looks like mine. I was hoping you could tell me about it?"

With that they showed something that looked like a Pegasus of some kind. "If I'm mistaken then never mind and sorry for bothering you."

"Wait, hold on its fine." Urata showed his own coin. "It just happens its something the three of have in common, you're not mistaken."

The other woman blinked a bit. "..That was a lot easier then thought it was going to be. I was expecting a wild goose chase or some quest or something. Least its a good thing it doesn't work in the movies and such huh? Anyway, not to forget my manners. My name is Katsura Yamamoto, nice to meet ya. Probably should talk somewhere else so we get looked at too much?"

Autumn perks up "Well that's also very coinvent, because we have Just the place to talk!" she says as she holds her watch up to her mouth "Traxxis, do you read me?" she asks.

"Of course I read you, Autumn..." the watch responds almost immediately.

"Guess what? We found another Celestial Knight! Want us to bring her to you, so you can give her the run down on what's going on?" she asks.

"Yes. At once. The sooner we add her to our team the better it will be for all of us, should something unforeseen happen." he tells them.

Autumn nods and looks around "I think we had best get to some place not so crowded." she suggests as she starts out.

The newcomer nodded slightly. "Yeah. Fine with me. So what are two's name? I didn't catch it." She did catch Autumn but if these were going to be her new teamates might as well do it properly right?

Urata was briefly sheepish. "Right. Sorry forgot. My name is Urata Yachi . Also our friend is giant robot so don't freak out."

"..Ok?" She said confused. Not sure what to make of it.

The young woman holds out her hand "As you may have heard, my name's Autumn. Good to meet ya." she says as she moves away from the crowd.

She leads them into a fast food restaurant and takes them to the bathroom "We should have some privacy here." she says as she fiddles with her watch a little "Oh boy! I think I got it!""She says as she is covered in magenta light and disappears through the roof, leaving Urata and Katsura standing there.

Katsura being more of a normie compared to Urata was utterly baffled. "Wait, what? What happened?"

"It's teleportation of some kind.." Urata was more composed as he decided to try something with the watch. "So Autumn or Traxxis if you read me, how did you do that?"

There was little pause "Of course I hear you, Urata." Traxxis says "The watch, like the transformation coin, is very intuitive and will usually take you exactly where you wish to go when teleporting." he explains "So all you need to do is trigger the coin and it will almost always take you where you wish and if you want to bring someone along, have them hold onto you while you teleport." he explains.

That seemed easier then he expected, and Autumn found out by chance so it shouldn't be too hard. "Place a hand on my shoulder and we'll get out of here."

As the young woman moved to place a hand on his shoulder, he began to fiddle with the watch to teleport to the others. It was time for this meeting to go, and hopefully Katsura would take Traxxis in stride.

When the two appeared, they appeared right by a green highspeed train and Autumn was standing there, waiting for them "Hi guys! Welcome." she says as a train door slides open, Traxxis wanting them to climb aboard.

Autumn climbs on "Come guys! Time for an exposition dump!" she says as she heads on in.

Omce the others were on, the train door slides closed and the train starts moving "Greeting, Katsura Yamamoto. My name is Traxxis and I, like you, am a Celestial Knight.." he says as the covered dome in the center of the command center starts to glow and Traxxis goes into explaining everything he needed to tell them.

"Now that you know the truth about the Celestial Knights, should you wish to join us, just tap your watch against the dome to link with us." he offers "If not, than we shall drop you off where we met and never bother you." he says.

"That's a lot to take in. But it makes sense with what little I do know about things.." Katsura trailed off. This honestly felt above her paygrade. She had only been living a pretty mundane life so far so she really had no idea why it had chosen her. Then again maybe Autumn was the same.

"If I'm being honest, I feel overwhelemed at the moment." She started. "That all being said..yeah I'm in. I get the feeling even if I wanted to, ignoring this would be a bad idea for those around me in the long run." She then tapped her watch.

She looked around. "So..question. Given how this whole thing started any idea who sent said vision and where to find them? They probably know things we don't."

Urata shook his head. "If I knew that, I would go into it more. It's a good question but nothing to go on."

"Perhaps it was the Celestial King reaching out to the last of his creations to warn them of the impending dangers ahead for us." Traxxis says.

Autumn puts a reassuring hand on Katsura's shoulder "I know you feel overwhelmed, but just think of how me and Urata must feel? We're just normal Humans in all this." she tells her.

"Oh, before you go, there IS one thing you must be made aware of..." Traxxis starts "The teleportation feature of the watches, at least for now, can only take you to other Celestial Knights that you've joined up with and back to where you originally teleported away from." he tells them "This Can change, but not now." he says.

The first part caught the young woman's attention. Wasn't he suppose to be dead? How would they be contacting people from beyond the grave? The more she learned the more unsure she felt about things. And didn't that mean this Dark Emperor fellow was doing stuff even if they were dead? She was lucky she didn't hear Urata's theory.

"Thanks." Katsura felt slightly comforted by the contact and focused on here and now. "Well, that's good to know. I'm just catching up to everything else just said."

"It's just a matter of what we're going to do in the mean time. I doubt we're going to be that lucky and find the last one here to." Urata pointed out. "Also, is there a way to speed up the process have more places to teleport or is it on its own time thing?"

"There is no way to speed up becoming stronger. It will happen naturally and when it does, you will unlock a power unlike any that has been seen in centuries." he tells them.

Autumn nods slowly "So we can't just teleport everywhere we want to?" she asks.

"No. And even if you could, you would not want to, as teleportation cam be tracked. By either side, from either side." he cautions.

Autumn thinks for a moment "So they can track us, but that Also means We can track Them, right?" she asks.

"That is correct and while I have been monitoring the teleportation frequency of any Negative Knights, I have yet to detect anything anitmatter energies that match." he tells them "But as soon as I detect any, I will let you know at once." he assures them.

"Soo..just the normal transportation for now it is." Katsura said somewhat nervously about running into these people. "If teleporting could alert them maybe we shouldn't bother to teleport back the way we came. What are we gonna do in the mean time?"

Urata thought for a moment. "For now we should keep quite. Not like anything is needing our attention. If we're lucky the newest member should be in a place called Noreal, but its closed to people right now."

"Noreal? Never heard of it. Then again, never heard of a lot of things until now." Katsura said with a shrug. "But, hey, always wanted to travel."

Autumn also frowns "I've never heard of it either." she tells them "But if it's far, I can't go. I have school. Plus, I can't just up and leave my family." she tells them.

"That is alright. Me and Urata shall go." he tells them "I have some associates on Noreal that can help us as well." he says "And speaking of, we should get ready. Ours is a journey that is long. Urata, would you kindly take them home and return here afterwards?" he asks.

"Struggles of a fellow college student huh?" Katsura said to the last comment. "I probably shouldn't prance to a far away place either even if I want to. Only family I have is old enough to take care of themselves, but I doubt school is going to accept me vanishing to be a super hero for a bit."

"Yeah that's fine." Urata wondered what associates he was referring to and what he had in mind. Access to Noreal was closed for the current time. "Ready when you two are."

Autumn waves her hand "That's alright, Urata. Our watches take us back to where we left abd that was the fountain plaza. From there, I can escort Katsura to the train station or airport." she tells him "It sounds like you two need to get to where you're going in a hurry. Don't worry, we'll be fine." she tells him as she pulls out her phone "We should probably exchange numbers first..." she mumbles.

Urata felt bit mixed on it, although in the end he decided it should be ok. Besides if they weren't there just yet he shouldn't baby them. "Ok. Just be careful."

"...Yeah probably a good idea to get numbers first." Katsura hadn't really thought about it when she felt like she should have. Just there were a lot of things on her mind at the moment. Once that was done she was ready to leave along with Autumn.

Urata turned back to Traxxis once they left. "If you're doing what I think you are, you're going to use a ship or teleport to get Noreal despite it being on lockdown right? I don't know what kind of crisis is going on but I'm not sure if we should bull doze our way in. Plus I am still part of the Hunters. It's not gonna be a good look if I just vanish and pop up there."

After the two take off, Traxxis transforms and stands up "Noreal is about to engage in an invasion from the Trojan. Both my people and the Hunters are there. So we won't be noticed too much." he tells Urata "As for how to get there, the Great Primus has saw fit to give me the ability to open Space Bridges to places I had been to before and Noreal has been one of those places." he tells his young protege.
