The Flipside of the Coin.

(Author's Note: I wasn't planning on releasing this story until I finished one of the ones I've been working on, but I decided why not.)

"Torunka, you might want to see this." said one of the Gemini Elves.

"Have we managed to decipher the prophecy?" Torunka asked with interest. "In that case we should have the twelve of them come see for themselves."

"That's a good idea, things are a lot more complicated than we thought." said the Dark Magician Girl. "Things are only just starting for the Shadow Signers."

"Morning Luna." S. Leo said. "Is your brother awake yet?"

"No, not yet." Luna said calmly. "It was a big day yesterday, so he can sleep for a little."

"I agree, I can't believe you aren't wiped out to Leo." S. Luna said with a smile.

"Yeah, well at least things are working out." S. Leo said.

"Hey guys." S. Crow said with a grin as he walked in with S. Yusei and S. Jack. "Did you guys get a good night's sleep?"

"Yeah, how about you three?" Luna asked.

"Well, I had a strange feeling this morning, it was almost as if something bad is about to happen." S. Yusei said. "Hopefully it's nothing."

Hello Signers, Shadow Signers. I hope you all have time; we've deciphered the prophecy. I would like to show all of you what it says.

"Torunka, alright I'll call the others and we'll be there later today." S. Luna said.

Alright, I'm be waiting for you then.

"I'll give the Akiza's a call, could you call Yusei?" S. Luna asked S. Crow.

"Sure, no problem." S. Crow said.

"Yusei, what was that all about?" Crow asked when Yusei got off the phone.

"Torunka wants us all to meet up to go to the Spirit World."Yusei said. "They found out what the new Prophecy says."

"Well, what are we waiting for, this could be important." Jack said. "Let's get going."

"Sorry we're late you guys, class ran a little long." Akiza said.

"Don't worry about it." S. Luna said with a smile. "Alright, you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Luna said before a crimson and blue door opened in front of them.

"Shall we?" S. Akiza asked before the group walked into the doorway.

"I'm glad you all made it, I have grave news concerning the Shadow Signers." Torunka said solemnly. "It seems their trials have only begun."

"What are you talking about?" S. Leo asked. "We defeated the Wicked Avatar."

"I know, maybe it would be best if you just took a look at this for yourselves." Torunka said.

"Alright, let's go." Yusei said before Torunka cast a spell that teleported the signers and shadow signers to the prophecy.

"Torunka, is it time to reveal what we've learned?" asked a Skilled Dark Magician.

"Yes, it is." Torunka said. "You should explain what we found out, I need to double check something with Dark Magician Girl."

"Alright, this is very important so please pay attention, the prophecy goes like this." the Skilled Dark Magician said before closing his eyes.

The Shadow is truly a mirror, it shows the opposite nature of life, though mirrors are not always reflective of what looks into them, the background is reflected as well, once the two sides join as one, the true reflection will reveal the mirrored worlds. While the mirror will show the common end, the future of one is the past of the other.

"What does that mean?" S. Crow asked.

"I'll tell you, but you need to look at the prophecy again." said the Dark Magician Girl.

"I trust you all remember what we noticed at first from this prophecy?" Torunka asked.

"Yeah, the twelve of us fighting against the Wicked Avatar, but we won that battle." Jack said.

"True, but we overlooked the details, look closer at the bottom of the prophecy." Torunka said. "The Arc Cradle and ener-D reactor appear below the signers, but they also appear below the shadow signers."

"What could that possibly mean?" S. Leo asked.

"I think I know Leo." S. Jack said. "The prophecy mentioned the future of one is the past of the other, I have a feeling that we're going to face the trials that you all faced, specifically Yliaster and the dark signers."

"Wait, but if that's true, things will be dangerous for everyone." Luna said.

"No, we've been working on a powerful spell, it should create a parallel world for the shadow signers, with any luck that should be able to contain the shadow versions ofYliaster and the dark signers. Unfortunately it means they won't be able to work with you signers." Torunka explained.

"If enough magicians combine their magic, we should be able to infuse your marks with the ability to travel between the Shadow world and the world you've been living in these past few months." the Dark Magician Girl explained.

"Alright, that's a good idea, we don't want any other panic to envelop New Domino City." Akiza said. "We'll support you guys however we can though."

"Thanks Akiza." S. Yusei said. "Alright, go ahead."

"Everything seems to be going according to plan." said a figure hidden in shadows. "I trust you know what to do?"

"Of course, we'll make sure to achieve our goals." said another figure with only one identifiable marking, a dark blue dragon's head.

"See to it that you do, we can't risk failing." the first figure said.

"We just need to make sure we time our attack perfectly, once we get to the other world our alliance is over." said the second figure.

"Alright, that's it, the rest is up to you." Torunka said.

"Thanks Torunka, we'll take care of everything from here." S. Jack said.

"Don't worry, if we could handle Yliaster and the dark signers, so can you." Crow said with a grin.

"Right, but for now we should get some rest, tonight is going to be crazy." S. Akiza said before the twelve of them returned to earth.

(The shadow signers have gained the power to go to a shadow earth, and two mysterious figures are planning to follow them there. Next chapter the shadow earth will be explored for the first time. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
