To be able to win, you must be able to adapt to your opponent quickly and to always believe in the heart of the cards…'

I cannot believe that Domino has come to a state like this. As I stepped through the portal I made to the future, I was shocked to see what this once beautiful city had become. "What happened?" I was talking to myself while scanning the area… so many broken buildings. I wonder if anyone's still here. It looks too abandoned to have anyone still living here… I jumped up onto a building and started to jump from roof to roof. I stopped relieved to see that there was an even bigger, much richer looking city about 9 miles away. But what had made me wonder though was why there was no one around still. Weren't there usually at least some people around the ghetto? I shrugged and snapped my fingers giving me automatic status around New Domino. "Hmm…" I mumbled thoughtfully. Should I put on a duel disk? Maybe just to see if it's still operating like my present. I was running from roof to roof just to find a bunch of guys huddled around a- Wait… Is that a dome?

After duel…

"I guess you aren't just a punk from the Satellite." The loser smirked. "Thanks." The winner said while getting on a red motorcycle. He had black hair, yellow highlights, bluish purple eyes, and he had a yellow mark on his left cheek with tan skin. "How nice." I smirked while crossing my arms. "Let's see if he can beat my deck." I whispered. I turned and jumped to the ground and walked around a bit. I still can't get over what happened to this place! Senii and Yani would be furious if they were alive for this period. Or if I brought them. Man, would Senii kick their asses! I then noticed a small light come from a building that looked dark and deserted. I went inside and walked around a bit to find a secret passage behind the back wall. The light was coming from the small crack in the secret passage. When I got to the end of the hallway, there was a table with a card on it. I walked up to it, and gasped in surprise. There was a duel disk already there that looked just like what I would poof up. It was white with a sapphire in the middle, and the card field was white with light blue card slots. And it was sharp! I put it on my arm to see if it fitted. I was still wearing my North Academy uniform, so of course it had to match. And it was Infinity's colors. There was also a small tag on it. It read,

'To Mistress Lauryn,

For the near future, I hid it here because I knew you would find it only here. I had sprinkled it with a dust only special people could sense, so please take this as a gift from me to you.

Your butler,

Jeeves'

"Thanks Jeeves." I laughed while slipping the note into my pocket. It was a good thing that I actually brought my deck along, too. I walked out of the building, and was still just walking around. I then came across (I know… too many come crosses!) something that had just crossed my eye. It was a girl in a long maroon cloak with a mask on. She looked my way and then fell to the ground on her knees. "Why does it hurt?" she said while taking off her mask. She unrolled her sleeve and there was a red glowing mark on her lower arm. "Why hello, miss." I smiled while walking towards her way. "Stay away!" she yelled angrily while rose thorns were flying my way. They stopped as soon as they were one foot away, and had split in half having flown past me. "Who are you?" she grunted while rolling onto her back. "Nobody you should be afraid of." I said while squatting and setting my hand on the mark. Not five seconds after, the mark had stopped glowing and had disappeared into her skin. "Who are you?" she asked while getting up. "Please don't run." I shifted. "I'm Lauryn, the Tamer of the Crimson Dragon." I said. "I never heard of such a thing!" she said snottily. "Oh really?" I said while drawing my hand away. Her mark started to glow again. "How are you doing that?" she asked. "I told you already!" I pouted. "I'm the Tamer of the Crimson Dragon. He usually gets excited whenever I'm around unless I get him to calm down." I said. "Calm down, my precious." I said while air stroking her arm. The light hard started to blink. "He missed me, but he says that you've been naughty." I raised a brow. "I have not!" she said as roses started to appear from behind. "See? You don't use magic for cards like that. You use it like this!" I said while taking out my deck. I shuffled through my cards looking for my Blue Eyes. "You have a different back for your cards." She said while looking up from her mark. "I like to protect my cards and to let people know who owns them." I smiled while throwing my card into the air. There was a blue shining light, and then the dragon had come down to my side. "Shh…" I petted the top of his head. I could hear it purring. "What's the difference to the way you use your cards to the way I use mine?" she glared. "I use them for showing them compassion, not to show fear to everyone." I frowned. "Now boy," I started. "What do her cards say to you about her?" I asked. He flew up to her and started sniffing around where her cards were. He came back to my side and I rested my forehead against his. "He says that your cards are hurting because of the magic you use to force them to come to life. They're also sad that you don't believe in their power that you actually have to enhance their magic." I said sadly. "Is that true?" she said sadly looking at her deck. Then we all heard a low moan. 'Yes…' the sound was coming from her deck! "I'm sorry." She said while hugging them. "Now… this will never change anything." She glared while putting her mask on. "I couldn't agree more." I smiled as she poofed away. "Come on, blue eyes. Time to go back with your friends." I smiled as he poofed into his card. I continued to walk until I was grabbed by the collar of my shirt into a building.
