An Encounter

**Zain POV**

I awoke in the middle of a small room with a single bed on one side and a glass window on the other side this seemed to be a cell of some sort looking around I saw that I was alone

"Where am I now." Placing a hand atop my head I began recalling what had happened my abduction at Sayer's hands then the brainwashing up until the reunion with Yusei.

"Seems like I owe Yusei thanks." Rising to my feet I continued. "What better way to start then by getting out of here."

**General POV**

On the other side of the Arcadia Movement building locked in a similar room to Zain's sat Leo and Luna the twins were busing themselves with a duel until Leo fell backwards with an exasperated sigh.

"Man I'm so bored Luna when is Yusei going to get here." The girl simply stared at her brother.

"how would I know?" She asked the boy sat back up and scratched his head.

"Well cause you're a signer don't you have like a mystical connection or something." The question caught Luna off guard and caused her to look at her brother with a very condescending look however before she could reply the sound of the door unlocking cut her off. Focusing their attention on the door the twins awaited with batted breath once the door finally opened the twins couldn't help but smile at the person.

"Miss Akiza!" Leo shouted before rushing to greet the girl followed by Luna.

**Zain PIC**

I had managed to escape the room I was locked in thanks to some tricks I picked up back in the satellite (use your imagination) and now I was wondering thought the halls of the movement.

"Man if I were Sayer what would I have done with my cards." I couldn't help but question aloud as once I awoke I noticed that my deck including the one the movement gave me was missing.

"HELP IS ANYONE OUT THERE!" A voice shouted followed by a loud bang the noise startled me as I looked back at the door behind me. I decided to investigate quietly approaching the door I consciously knocked on it only to receive a loud bang in return deciding to take a chance I slowly began to open the door. After a few moments I managed to open it and out fell a woman who slammed into the ground face first. The new door mat turned out to be a woman with black hair dressed in a rather conspicuous outfit with a brown vest and blue strips. As the woman pushed herself of the ground, I noticed she seemed to be a rather nerdy one wearing squared glasses which were crooked across her face.

**General POV**

The woman carefully pushed herself off the ground onto her knees and after fixing her glasses she glanced up at Zain.

"Thanks for that." She thanked him with a rather sheepish expression after looking at him for a moment.

"Wait you're the guy from the fortune cup." Zain scratched his head with a guilty smile on his face.

"Yeah I guess we did, Sorry but the last time we met I didn't really catch your name." offering her a hand up which she took she smiled.

"That's alright I'm Carly Carmine a reporter of the truth." Zain smiled at her.

"Nice to meet you Carly I'm Zain." The two shared a firm shake before releasing their grip.

"So what were you doing in there." An embarrassed smile crossed Carly's face.

"Oh no reason you know just hanging around, better yet what are you doing here." It was Zain's turn to smile awkwardly. "Nothing really just trying to find my cards they seem to have been confiscated." A thoughtful look crossed Carly face as she placed her finger on the edge of her lip. "Cards huh, have you tried the vault on the third floor." She offered him a nice smile, which in turn caused Zain's face to one of contemplation "The Third floor, Huh, I don't think I have checked there yet thanks for the tip." A questioning gaze left Zain's face "But How do you know there's a vault up there." A large grin broke Carly's face. "I told you I'm a reporter didn't I gathering Intel my specialty." a smile crossed Zain's face. "Guess that checks out thanks for the tip Carly." Carly waved her hand at him.

"It was nothing thanks for getting me out of that room." Zain smiled.

"It was nothing however I believe we both have somewhere to be now don't we." Carly nodded in agreement.

"Yeah thanks for your help but I should be going." Zain agreed and turned to leave. "Alright then see you around Carly try not to get caught again." With a nod Carly waved goodbye.

"Of course, don't worry about me I will see you around Zain." With that she turned on her heel and sprinted away.
