Chapter 110: The True Culprit

It's morning and the sun is beginning to rise across the horizon. However, not everyone was eager to greet the new day, especially those residing in the Satellite Sector. Just outside Martha's place, Lilly and the rest of her team were busy waiting for Kagura to get back. The Twilight Duelist hasn't been seen since she stormed out the previous day and they were starting to get worried, especially since there was a new threat currently infesting the Satellite.

Although wasn't sure what exactly took place last night, both Lilly and Crow sense a powerful darkness through their Signer Marks. Not only that, but they also sensed that Kagura was near it as sensed her through her Dragunity Knight Mark. From what they could tell, she was engage in a fierce some Duel and, upon further examination, the Duel felt extremely similar to the one Takashi had against the Shadow Drone back in New Domino City. Given Takashi's condition after that Duel, Lilly and Crow were concerned that Kagura might've suffered a similar fate.

As the two of them waited for Kagura, Sona was busy sitting on the porch of Martha's house. While she did so, the Psychic Duelist was typing a message to Alex on her phone. The message basically consisted of a brief summary of the current situation. After sending it, Sona immediately received a reply from Alex, informing her to continue keeping an eye on things and to make sure everyone was safe. Once she texted that she would, Sona silently put her phone away.

Meanwhile, Madas was busy tinkering with his Duel Runner. Out of all of those who were here, he had the least amount of knowledge about what was really going on. Still, the young man knew he could be called into action at any time. Because of that, Madas knew that had to be ready and so he made sure his Duel Runner was in top shape.

Eventually, after about another hour of waiting, Crow noticed something coming towards all of them. Because it was so far away, the young man took out a small telescope that he had on him and used it in order to get a better look. Lilly, upon seeing him do that, immediately walked up to him.

"What do you see, Crow?" She asked him. "Is it Kagura?"

"…I'm not sure yet." Crow answered as he tried to focus the telescope. "Give me a sec."

Twisting his telescope, Crow continued to look out as the thing that he was seeing steadily grew closer to the house. After about a minute, the Blackwing Duelist was able to get a better view and saw that what was approaching was in fact a small group of people. From what he could tell there was a young woman he couldn't recognized, accompanied by two kids. In addition, they were dragging a Duel Runner that was carrying another individual. The sight of these people greatly intrigued Crow, causing him to focus his telescope some more in order to get a better look of them.

"Hey…" He said after noticing something. "Isn't that…"

Before Crow could finish, Lilly immediately grabbed his telescope and began using it herself. Like him, the young woman also saw the 4 individuals that were approaching the house. In addition to that, Lilly also noticed the same thing that Crow just picked up on. It's been a while since she's last saw her, but there was no mistaking the young blue haired girl that was walking with the group.

"It's Wendy…"

As she slowly put the telescope down, Lilly's mind instantly flashed back to when she and Takashi first arrived in New Domino and the battle, they had with the Arcadia Movement. During that time, they rescued a young Psychic Duelist named Wendy Marvell, who played a small, yet key part, in helping them defeat Sayer and save Akiza. Wendy would latter accompany them back the Satellite in order to stop Sasuke from concocting his plan to destroy it. However, it was following this that Wendy decided to stay in the Satellite, hoping to improve her powers by training with another Psychic they met.

It's been almost 5 months since Lilly last saw Wendy and the young woman was extremely pleased to see that she was alright. Wanting to greet her in person, she immediately rushed over towards her Duel Runner and drove over to where she was. Upon seeing her do that, Crow quickly chased after her on his own Runner, with Madas soon following suit. When Sona saw this, she simply let out a small sigh as she felt it was to early in the morning to be that excited. Still, she followed them as someone she knew was with Wendy.

After about less than a minute, Lilly and the others reached Wendy's location and promptly hopped off their Runners. At the first, the little girl was a bit apprehensive, but that soon turned to joy after watching them remove their helmets and seeing their faces. Wendy then raced up them, giving Lilly and warm embrace.

"Lilly!" She said with tears in her eyes. "It's you! It's really you!"

"Yeah…" Lilly said with a smile on her face. "And it's really you, Wendy. I'm so happy to see you again."

As Wendy looked at Lilly and happily nodded her head in agreement, the little girl soon found her hair being ruffled. When she turned her head, she saw that the person doing so was Crow, who was giving her a cocky smile.

"Hey kid…" He said with a smirk. "You remember me?"

"Of course." Wendy confirmed. "You're Crow."

Although she didn't know him as well as Lilly or Takashi, Wendy did know Crow from when she first came to the Satellite. Despite his demeanor, Wendy quickly discovered that the Blackwing Duelist was very strong and very kind. Because of that, the two of them were able to befriend each other before they both parted ways. After greeting him, Wendy turned and saw Madas approaching her.

"Hi there." He said in a friendly tone of voice. "My name is Madas. It's good to meet you."

"Hi." Wendy replied with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you too. I'm Wendy."

Wendy and Madas quickly shook hands after greeting one another before the young girl noticed that Sona was making her way towards her. Right away, Wendy could feel the incredible power that was emanating from Sona's body. It felt very similar to Akiza's, although Wendy could also able to tell that Sona's was far more precise and that she had far more control.

"Greetings Wendy Marvell." She said in a soft tone. "My name is Sona Shitori. It's an honor to meet you."

"Um…Yeah." Wendy slowly replied.

Because the two of them were both Psychics, Wendy could feel a powerful resonance between Sona's powers and her own. To her, the resonance was so intense, yet very comforting at the same time. Although she had no idea who this woman is, Wendy did discover two things about her from this brief exchange. The first is that Sona had an intense fierceness within, which was only tempered by her extreme kindness.

Eventually, following this greeting, Sona walked over towards the older individual that was with the group and saw that it was Tsubaki. The two of them then stared at one another for a moment before Tsubaki proceeded to gently bow before Sona.

"Hello elder sister." She said in a polite tone of voice. "It's good to see you again after so long."

"The feeling is mutual, Tsubaki." Sona replied.

Upon hearing this brief exchange, everyone was stunned by the revelation that Sona and Tsubaki were siblings. Although Sona did mention that she had a younger sister and that she was coming this way, they didn't expect it to be Tsubaki. This is especially true for Madas, who found it somewhat hard to believe as he took the opportunity to examine the two of them.

From what he could tell, Madas saw that apart from their faces and eye color, Sona and Tsubaki looked nothing unlike. Not only was Tsubaki at least half a foot taller than Sona, her body seemed to be a lot more developed than her as well. This is especially true as he examined both of their chests.

"Are you for real…?" He questioned as he got a closer look. "I mean…From what I can tell you…"

Madas suddenly stopped talking when Sona took her right index finger and gently tapped his forehead. When Madas looked up at her, the young man was suddenly frozen as Sona's eyes began to glow brightly. She then glared at him, causing shivers to race down Madas's spine.

"If you value your life, I suggest that you keep your mind out of the gutter." She told him. "Do I make myself clear?"

"…Yes…Yes ma'am." Madas nervously answered.

Although a stoic individual, there were a few things that Sona really got on Sona's bad side. One of those things was people commenting on her breasts and comparing them to her sister's. Sona was painfully aware that Tsubaki was way more developed when it came to that department and though she tried not to show it, a part of Sona was somewhat jealous of her sister. Because of that, she would often threaten those who would dare mention, as the case with Madas. For her part, Tsubaki would often keep quiet when this came up as even, she isn't immune to her sister's wrath.

While all of this was going on, Ryan was busy looking at the others with a mix expression on his face. They all seemed to be quite lively, which was a bit surprising considering the current state of things in the Satellite. As he continued to look on, Wendy noticed that he was standing there and so she brought him over to both Lilly and Crow.

"Hey guys…" She said as she spoke up. "This is Ryan. I found him walking the area and he told me he has no where to go. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, do you think he could stay at Martha's place?"

"I don't see why not." Crow pointed out. "After all, Martha is always more than willing to welcome a lost child into her home."

Lilly nodded her head in agreement and soon knelt down and greeted Ryan. Though he was a little bit apprehensive, the young boy he sensed Lilly's kindness and knew right away that she could be trusted. Because of that, when he saw her extend her hand out to him, Ryan gently took it.

Following that, after she finished making her point to Madas, Sona turned her attention back towards Tsubaki. The two sisters then briefly discussed some things before Sona began making her way towards Kagura's Duel Runner. She then saw that the individual who was laying on it was none other than Kagura herself, who was still asleep after Shadow Duel. When the others noticed this they immediately raced over to the young woman, all of them extremely concerned for her. It was at that moment that Sona faced Tsubaki again.

"What happened here, Tsubaki?"

Meanwhile, in an abandoned building located in the middle of the Satellite Sector, many hooded Shadow Duelists were watching a Shadow Duel take place. It was an intense match, but in the end a winner was decided, and the loser paid the ultimate price when he was engulfed by the dark flames that was surrounding them. Following the Duel, another one was quickly arranged as the carnage continued.

As this was going on, one Shadow Duelist was busy observing the matches from a balcony. While he looked on, another hooded individual approached him and whispered something in his ear. After receiving the message, the Shadow Duelist pardoned himself as he made his way into another room inside the building. Upon making sure no one was present, the Duelist knelt in front of a table and watched as a giant purple flame appeared before him. Inside the flame was another hooded individual.

"Report Hyoga…" The individual spoke. "How has the recruitment been progressing?"

"Wonderfully, my lord." Hyoga said as he kept his head down. "Your army goes steadily. Currently I'm weeding out the weaker of your followers so that when the time comes, only the strongest of the Shadow Drones will be here to serve you."

"Excellent…You have done well, Hyoga."

Upon being complimented, Hyoga silently let out a small smile even as he kept his head down. He then listened closely as his master continued speaking to him.

"Now pay attention…We've just discovered that of the Signers, Lilly Muto and Crow Hogan, have just returned to the Satellite. They are joined by a few of their allies, including the Dragunity Knight Kagura Toyoshima."

"I am aware, my lord." Hyoga revealed. "In fact, a one of my Shadow Drones engaged Kagura last night. Unfortunately…he was not able to defeat her."

"…I see." The master said after a quick pause. "That is troubling to hear…but it's no unexpected. After all, if she were to be defeated by a measly Shadow Drone then she wouldn't be much of a Dragunity Knight."

As Hyoga nodded his head in agreement, the Shadow Duelist thought about last night and how a few of his minions informed him of Keith's defeat at Kagura's hand. Naturally, Hyoga was quite upset by this knowledge and promptly had Keith executed for his failure. In addition, Hyoga also had the ones who gave this knowledge executed as well, as he wasn't in the mood to hear bad news at the time.

"By the way, Hyoga." The master continued. "Have you managed to determine the whereabouts of the 5th Dragunity Knight?"

"…Sadly no, my lord." Hyoga truthfully informed. "From what I've been able to determine she managed to get away along with Kagura. I can only assume that she's meeting up with the rest of the Signers. However, please rest assure that it won't be a problem. Even with all of them working together, they are still no match for me and my minions!"

The master silently looked on as he watched Hyoga lift his head and look back at him with a confident look on his face. However, the master was not impressed by that expression and simply responded by emitting a small black aura. Upon seeing that aura, Hyoga's confidence quickly vanished as he once again placed his head down.

"I see…" The master said in a soft tone. "Well, I do hope that your right. Because if you're not…Let's just say I can easily find another commander."

"…Yes…my lord."

Once that was said, the master's image suddenly vanished as the flames disappeared. After he was gone, Hyoga stood up and stared at the ground for a moment before walking over towards a desk drawer. He then opened it, revealing an old rusted pistol. He then examined the pistol for a few moments before putting it back into the drawer and closing it.

"It's been a while…but I think its time we settled the score." He said to himself. "Don't you agree…Team Satisfaction."

Back at Martha's place, the group promptly brought the wounded Kagura inside so that she could be properly treated and get some much-needed rest. With the help of Lilly's healing powers, as well as Martha's medical knowledge, most of the Twilight Duelist's injuries were tended to. All that remained was for her to get some sleep, which was done by letting Kagura lay down on the couch.

Once that was taken care of, Martha decided to make breakfast for everyone as she knew that they couldn't work on an empty stomach. After she finished making it, she was then properly introduced to Ryan, who welcomed him into her home with open arms. She then took him so that he could be the other kids staying with, which also gave the others the opportunity to sit down and properly go over the situation. For the first topic of discussion, Crow sat up and directed his attention towards Wendy.

"So, Wendy…You're the 5th Dragunity Knight?" He questioned her.

"Um…I guess." Wendy slowly confirmed.

Sitting up from the dining room table, Wendy took a deep breath before turning around. Then, once everyone got a good look at her back, the young girl focused herself, causing the symbol of the Dragunity Knights to appear on it. Upon seeing it, both Lilly's and Crow's Signer Marks started to glow in resonance with Wendy's. Upon seeing that, it was clear that Wendy was indeed the 5th Dragunity Knight that they were sent to find. Wendy's mark then began to fade away as she turned and faced the group.

"About 2 months after you guys first left the Satellite, I sensed a powerful force coming from New Domino City." Wendy explained. "As a wondered what was happening over there, I suddenly felt a rush of power surge through me and I passed out. Next thing I knew after waking up, I had this strange mark on my back. It kind of reminded me of the marks you all have, so I figured it had to be something important. So…I'm a Dragunity Knight."

As Wendy attempted to make sense of her new position, Lilly and Crow to a moment to think about what they just heard. 2 months following their battle against Sasuke lines up right around the time they first encountered the Crimson Dragon as all 5 Signers had met up for the first time. Wendy's awakening as a Dragunity Knight must've occurred during that moment, at least that's what Lilly and Crow believed. As they continued to ponder over this, Wendy noticed the looks on their faces and proceeded to ask her own question.

"Guys…What exactly is a Dragunity Knight?"

"The Dragunity Knights are the personal protectors of the Signers." Sona said as she took a sip of her tea. "It is their job to assist and, more importantly, defend the Signers in times of crisis."

Sona took another sip of her tea as the others listened to her explanation. Apart from Tsubaki, the others only a vague understanding about the role that the Dragunity Knights play and how they relate to the Signers. What information they did have was only second-hand from Takashi, who even admits that he didn't have the full story. Sona understood the questions that were on their mind and decided that now would be good time to answer some of them.

"According to legends…" She continued. "When the Crimson Dragon bequeathed a portion of its power to the very first Signer, it realized that its chosen warrior would become a target for evildoers. As a result, it chose another individual to act as the Signer's protector and partner, granting him a portion of its power as well. That is how the first Dragunity Knight came to be."

"…Wait a minute." Lilly said as she noticed something. "There was only one Signer and one Dragunity Knight in the beginning? If that's the case…why do we have 5 of each now?"

"It was the desire of the first Signer." Sona answered. "Throughout human history, mankind has been known for causing great harm onto others. However, they are also known for causing great good…and that's especially true when they work together under a common goal. The first Signer knew this, which is why he found 4 like-minded individuals and shared a portion of his power to them. As a result, 1 Signer then became 5. The first Dragunity Knight then followed suit by sharing his powers with 4 individuals of his own…evening things out with 5 Signers and 5 Knights."

After finishing her explanation, Sona took a third sip of her tea. She then closed her eyes for a moment before thinking back to the time Alex told her about all this. In her mind, those days seemed so long ago. Upon reopening her eyes, the Psychic Duelist took a moment to stare at everyone before speaking again.

"We can discuss the relationship between the two groups at a later time." She said before turning her attention towards her sister. "For now, let's focus on the matter at hand. Tsubaki…what's the situation here in the Satellite?"

"Yes, elder sister." Tsubaki said with a small nod. "According to my findings, in the months since the Signers first left the Satellite, a small number of hooded individuals began gathering, forming some kind of cult. At first, they just spent their time spouting nonsense about how unfair things were in the Satellite and how they would get their vengeance against those in power, like those living in New Domino City. They didn't seem to be all that threatening at first, but something suddenly changed after the Crimson Dragon first appeared."

"What kind of change?" Sona inquired.

Tsubaki remained silent for a moment, as the young woman was trying to put her thoughts into words. Eventually, the words finally came to her and Tsubaki continued with her explanation.

"As soon as the Crimson Dragon appeared, I sensed a powerful darkness beginning to surface here at the Satellite. In addition to that, I've also noticed that the number of people joining this dark cult began to increase at a startling rate. It was almost like the darkness was corrupting the residents here, forcibly turning them into members of the cult."

"Have you determined the source of the darkness…or who's behind it?" Sona asked.

"…No." Tsubaki truthfully answered. "All I've been able to determine is that whoever is behind this has a power that far surpasses our current understanding."

Upon hearing her say that, the group remained silent as they attempted to take in everything that Tsubaki just said. When they first arrived back home, Lilly and Crow were both able to sense that things were pretty bad. However, Tsubaki's story made them both realize that things were even worse than that. But, as that thought ran through their heads, Crow suddenly realized something else and brought it to everyone's attention.

"Hold on…" He said as he focused on Tsubaki. "How do you know all this? I mean…just how long have you been here in the Satellite?"

"…For over a year." Tsubaki answered.

Crow was completely stunned by Tsubaki's answer, both with how she said it and how quickly she said it. Without anyone noticing, Tsubaki has been here in the Satellite Sector. That means she was here when Lilly first left with Takashi, to when Sasuke was causing trouble, to even when Crow left for New Domino. This shocked Crow, who soon responded with an obvious question.

"If you've been here for a year…why didn't you appear before us?" He asked her. "I mean…you could've saved us a lot trouble when dealing with all the crap we went through!"

Tsubaki glanced at Crow for a moment and noticed that the Blackwing Duelist was looking pretty upset with what he just heard. However, the young woman simply kept her calm as she took a sip of her tea. Her nonchalant attitude quickly rubbed Crow the wrong way, but Lilly quickly calmed him down before he could anything foolish.

"Your anger is misplaced, Crow." Sona said as she spoke up. "Tsubaki was simply following my orders. I told her not to make her presence known to anyone, even to the Signers. Her only job was to observe and report…nothing more."

"But what about when Sasuke was planning to destroy the Satellite?!" He angrily questioned. "We barely got through that battle with our lives!"

"I understand that…But the threat we're currently facing is far greater than what Sasuke was planning to do. We couldn't afford to let our enemy see our hand, especially after coming so far. Besides…if you and the others had lost to Sasuke, then you wouldn't be much help to us anyway."

Once those words were spoken, Crow instantly snapped and proceeded to jump over the table in order to attack Sona. However, before he could even get to her, Tsubaki pulled out a Duel Monster's card from her pocket. She then used it to summon a long rope that wrapped itself around the Blackwing Duelist, tying him up. Tsubaki then hung Crow in the air, rendering him unable to harm her sister.

When the others saw this, all of them were stunned by Tsubaki's display of power. Normally, a Psychic Duelist would need to use their Duel Disk in combination with their cards in order to materialize objects. However, Tsubaki was so strong and had such control of her powers that a Duel Disk wasn't even needed. In addition to that, they noticed that Tsubaki didn't even break a sweat with that maneuver, indicating that this wasn't even a fraction of her true abilities.

"Sorry about that…" Sona said as she looked up at Crow. "What I meant to say is that we had confidence that you all would be able to handle yourselves. After all…the Crimson Dragon chose you all for a reason. We wanted to be respectful of that."

Crow didn't accept Sona's apology, mostly because he wasn't sure if was sincere or not. Instead, he simply glared at her as he continued hanging in the air. As for Sona, the young woman didn't really care how Crow was feeling or what he thought of her. She learned long ago that guys like him often need to be reigned in, especially since its those people who tend to get killed first.

As Crow continued dangling on the ceiling, Wendy was busy thinking quietly to herself. The young Psychic was still trying to make sense of everything and, in truth, she was having a hard time making sense of all of it. However, there was one thing that was mentioned that really piqued her interest. Once everything died down a bit, Wendy decided to speak up about it.

"Um…Ms. Tsubaki." She called out too. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, Wendy." Tsubaki said as she looked back at her. "What is it?"

"Well…you just said that you've been here in the Satellite for over a year, keeping an eye on everything. If so…would you happen to know where a boy named Toshiro might be?"

Lilly's and Crow's eyes lit up after hearing Wendy mention Toshiro's name. It was here that they both remembered that their young friend also developed Psychic powers during the battle against Sasuke and his men. Following the battle, he agreed to train with Wendy in order to learn how to control his new abilities. That was the last time they ever heard from him and upon returning to the Satellite, Martha revealed that she hasn't seen him in quite a while, worrying her.

After being asked that question, Tsubaki stared at Wendy for a few moments before sadly shaking her head. When she saw that, Wendy let out a small sigh as she hoped that Tsubaki might know where Toshiro might be. Lilly noticed how disappointed Wendy was, prompting the Signer to walk over to her.

"Wendy…What happened to Toshiro?" She asked.

Wendy stared at Lilly for a moment before gently placing her head down. It was clear that this was subject that was hard for her to talk about. In addition, Wendy was aware how close Toshiro was to his friends, which made it even harder to talk about him. When Lilly saw this, the young woman instantly understood what was on Wendy's mind. Still, she needed to know and so she knelt down to Wendy's height before placing her hands on her shoulders.

"Please Wendy…" She pleaded. "Tell us…"

Wendy let out a small sigh before lifting her head and facing Lilly. She then nodded her head at the Signer, finally agreeing to tell the group everything she knew.

"I don't know where he is." She answered truthfully. "The last time I saw him, he told me he was going to investigate that strange group of people who have been gathering all over the place."

Pausing for a moment, Wendy gently rubbed the back of her head as she attempted to remember all things she went through before she last saw Toshiro. After remembering all that she could, Wendy sat back down at the table, prompting Lilly to do the same. The group then listened carefully as Wendy continued with her explanation.

"Our teacher, Saeko, was the first one to inform us about the emerging of this dark cult. I think she sensed right away just how dangerous they were and so she gave us strict orders not to engage them. For a while, Toshiro agreed to that…but things change after he told me that one his friends ended up joining the cult. He also said that this friend of his was acting weird, almost like he was possessed. Concerned for him, Toshiro decided to try and save his friend by secretly joining the cult. He told me that he would try and give me some details about what he found…but I haven't heard anything yet. It's been almost 3 months since then."

Following Wendy's explanation, the group took a moment to think about what they just learned. Right away, Crow was upset by the news as it implied that Toshiro might've been found out by the cult. If that's the case, then his friend was in grave danger and that they needed to save him. Lilly felt the same way as Crow, but unlike him, the young woman knew that they needed a bit more information before making any big moves.

"Wendy…what about your teacher, Saeko?" Sona brought up. "Does she know about your friend's disappearance?"

"…She does." Wendy answered. "When I told her, she told me to hide while she attempted to find Toshiro. However…I haven't heard anything from her either. I can only guess that she was taken by them too."

After hearing that, Sona took a moment to think to herself as Wendy's explanation allowed her to come up with a theory. However, although she believed that this theory had plenty of merit to it, the Psychic Duelist needed a bit more information before she could confirm it. Because of that, Sona turned her focus back towards her sister.

"Tsubaki…is there anything else you can tell us?" She asked.

"…Well, there is one thing." Tsubaki said as she thought about the question. "Although most of the members in this dark cult are just random ordinary people, there are some with exceptional Dueling ability. In addition to that…the cult seems to be under the leadership of a commander."

"A commander…?" Madas questioned. "You mean there not just a group of random people who have come together?"

Tsubaki shook her head in disapproval to Madas's question. In most groups, like the Arcadia Movement or this Shadow Cult, they usually pretend to be together under a common interest, only to reveal that their working solely for the one in charge. Tsubaki believed this to be the case, but she also believed that there was more to it than just that.

"This cult seems to have some kind of hierarchy." She continued. "From what my elder sister told me, back when Takashi faced the Shadow Drone in the parking lot, the lesser members are simply being controlled and are basically puppets. However, from what I've been able to gather, those who possess a strong will and exceptional ability can be given higher positions. In addition, they also seem to be able to retain their personality to some extent…I believe that's the case with this commander. He's leading the lesser members while acting under the orders of the true masterminds."

"And who is this commander?" Sona asked her. "Have you been able to determine his identity?"

"…I have." Tsubaki confirmed. "I don't know who he looks like what his abilities are, but I do know his name. It's Hyoga."

Once that name was spoken, both Lilly and Crow were immediately stunned silent. The others quickly noticed that and immediately realized that the two of them knew who this Hyoga individual was. Sona wasted no time questioning the Signers about the commander.

"Who is Hyoga?" She asked them. "How do you know him?"

"Hyoga…Hyoga was a member of a Duel Gang that we used to deal with back in the day." Crow answered. "He used to cause Team Satisfaction a lot trouble."

"…Yeah." Lilly softly agreed. "In addition to that, Hyoga did something that, now that I think about it, set the stage for Team Satisfaction's destruction."

Lilly gently closed her eyes as her mind flashed back to the past. Her time as a member of Team Satisfaction always gave her mixed feelings, mostly because of what she lost as a result. Although those old wounds have healed up for the most part, recent events have caused them to reopen, much to her displeasure. The others were able to tell that much based on the look that was on her face. Even so, they needed to know what happened.

"What did Hyoga do, Lilly?" Sona asked her.

"Hyoga…" Lilly said before pausing. "Hyoga killed a Sector Security officer while trying to kill me. And the officer he killed…was Kagura's cousin, Vivi."

While Sona and Tsubaki simply looked on with silent looks on their faces, the others were all shocked by this revelation. The opponent that they were now about to face just happened to be the true culprit behind Kagura's cousin's death. Before that information could sit in however, the group suddenly heard someone coming towards them. Upon turning their heads, they all watched as the person in question was none other than Kagura herself.

Having just woken up recently, the Twilight Duelist was still in a lot of pain and her body was covered in bandages. However, Kagura didn't care about her condition as she just heard something that truly caught her interest. She then glared at Lilly as she slowly made her way to her.

"What…What did you just say?" She said to her.

After getting close enough, Kagura grabbed Lilly by the shirt collar and slammed her right into a nearby wall. Then, before the others could react, Kagura grabbed ahold of her sword and placed it near Lilly's neck. A bright aura then began to surround her body as she placed the weapon even closer to Lilly.

"Explain yourself now! Tell me who is Hyoga is or I'll kill you!"

Chapter Preview

With some help, the group manage to calm Kagura down enough so that Lilly could properly explain what really happen. The story then flashes back to a few years ago, back when Team Satisfaction was still active and making a name for itself in the Satellite. It was during this time that they would meet a young Sector Security officer, one who would change the group's entire dynamic.
