Hello!

I'm happy that all of you that reviewed, favorited, and followed this story didn't let your disappointment on me stopping Spirits of the Pendulum stop you from reading this one. I'll be sure to have more of those as the story progresses. I'm hoping that it would start again with this chapter.

And about my poll on whether or not I should have Ash wield all three Legendary Dragons, it seems that almost every one of you wants him to have all of them. But I made up my mind that I decided NOT to do any of them at all. Sorry everyone, but I don't think Ash would need them.

As for what type of Deck Ash uses here, if any of you haven't figured it out yet it will be revealed on this chapter.

Chapter 2

We find the trio consisting of the Kurosaki siblings and Yuto in a hospital room where an unconscious Ash is currently lying on the only hospital bed in the room covered under the blanket with his eyes and arms wrapped in bandages after they bled from the fiasco at the park about several hours ago. The hospital only allowed the maximum limit of three people to visit a room so this trio always came since they are closest to Ash than the three students from the Clover Branch. Shun is currently holding the small box that was responsible for his brother's condition in his hand. Nobody knows how it happened, not even the doctor. He even commented that it was a miracle on how Ash survived from death after the veins on his arm exploded.

"I hope Ash will be okay." Ruri said while her hands are held together clearly worried about her adoptive brother.

"Who knows if he will awake soon after that." Yuto commented looking at the unconscious Ash grimly.

"Not a normal person anyway." Shun added while staring at the small box in his hand getting the other two's attention. "There's no way Ash will go down that easy."

"Why do you have that box? It was the one that put Ash in this condition." Yuto asked sounding serious while also dropping his grim look.

"I know. I am contemplating on getting rid of it, but Ash said that it was his most prized possession. He had it ever since he was adopted from the foster home by his parents before ours. And he just got it back. I don't know if it's right to take that away from him."

"But we also need to be worried about his health." Ruri countered as tears begin to build up in her eyes.

"I know. But we also need to know what was inside the box that made all this happen." Shun countered back still looking at the small box with a thoughtful look on his face.

Ruri looked back at the unconscious, bandaged Ash on the bed with the tears starting to flow down her cheeks. "Poor Ash." She then began to sob quietly for a good few moments until she felt her left hand being grabbed gently and saw that Yuto was the one holding her hand. "Yuto."

"Ash will be fine. Trust me." Yuto reassured making Ruri give out a small blush while Shun looks on with a displeased look on his face.

(Inside Ash's subconscious)

Ash slowly opened his eyes to see a blanket of darkness all around him and attempted to stand only to find himself feel like he's floating which confused him more than he already was. A loud roar along with a bright, blue light suddenly appeared in front of him which began to take form of a dragon's head with piercing light blue glowing eyes making Ash's own irises glow in the same color as he widened his eyes in amazement. The dragon head light roared once again as it enveloped him looking like it was swallowing him.

Still having his eyes open, inside the light, Ash just kept floating looking mesmerized as another, full body dragon figure came and was flying towards him. Unconsciously he reached his hands out while smiling affectionately as the dragon lowered its head as if it was expecting the young man to pet it which he actually did... or tried to do as they made contact when Ash touched his hands under its chin. After making contact both Ash's body and the dragon silhouette began to glow brightly and come together as if they are fusing together as Ash's consciousness began to wake up.

I'm gonna stop right there for now. This isn't the complete the chapter, but I figured that it would be better to see what you all think of it so far and that it would be better for you to see it now rather than. And I have my own reason for ending it early.

It's for the harem for this story. I am still doing Yuzu and Serena(Celina for many of you who would prefer that name, but I will keep calling her Serena because I like that one much better and it's not like I will involve the Serena from Pokémon in here). I decided to have them be the only two Bracelet Girls to be with Ash, but I don't think they should be the only girls he will have so I am down to two girls.

I have a poll containing the names of those two girls and deciding whether to do just one of them or if I should do both. And I can't really continue this story without a winner so I want every single one of you to go vote on it. I will make this complete once a choice got the most votes, but I want you all to really think about which one of the choices you want before voting. Please vote!
