Here we go...
OBELISK DORM - 6PM
Pattie and the girls were in the bathroom getting in their uniform to perform a song at the Obelisk Dorm. Alessia was putting the girls' make-up on while Bedelia was fixing their outfits. Pattie was looking at the mirror fixing herself up, she let out a heavy sigh,
"It's the first time we've ever really performed in another academy.. I just..I hope I can give a good performance. Even if I seemed confident at the docks, losing Elisha still hurts so badly.."
Bedelia came from behind and fixed her denim strap looking at her, "Mon amie, we feel your pain.. It's normal to not feel happy all the time, and you shouldn't have to suppress your emotions. However, when it comes to heartbreak, spending time with your friends and making others smile can cheer you up. Even if it's temporary, making the Duel Academy students smile with our performance might just give you cheer.. Do your best girl, and if need be, we'll cover for you! Won't we girls?"
"Yeah! Count on us Pattie-cakes!" Faline yelled bursting out of a stall making the girls jump. "Besides, I always wanted to perform at my daddy's school! THIS GONNA BE EXCITING! Let's make everyone proud!"
Alessia covered her mouth and shook her head "Faline, you sure know how to break a serious moment..."
"Hey! It's my way of cheering up! Don't knock it till ya try it Lessy!"
"You see Pattie? We got your back always! Let's give em hell!" Vanessa agreed having her arm around Layla who gave a smile and a thumbs up.
Amber grabs her hands and smiled, "We will get her back sis. Let's focus on our performance, okay? It's the least we can do for our emotional state."
"Sis… everyone… Thank you. Now let's give em hell! Right girls?" Pattie looked at her friends, who all gave a cheer of approval and continued to get ready for their performance.
Ms. Topes walked in and smiled, "Angels, your fans await you! Do you hear the crowd going crazy?" The girls took a peep outside hearing the students shouting loudly, "Angels! Angels! Angels!"
"Woah! Talk about a fired up crowd." Layla said as she sees Jaden and the party in front row.
"You sure let everyone know about our band in record time, that's for sure! Thanks Ms. Topes!" Giana giggled adjusting her hat and runs out to the stage.
"Party time!" Faline gushed and runs happily behind Giana.
"WOOHOO!" The girls shouted and ran on stage and greeted the students, "Hello Duel Academy!" The students shouted loudly reaching their hands out to them.
"Show em what you're made of Pattie!" William cheered for his girlfriend.
"Pattie! Pattie!" Syrus and Jaden cheering on.
"Today we're going to singing a song that will help you guys step up your semester!" Pattie shouted to the crowd. The music began to play and the students began to shout louder than before.

Step up!
The crowd went crazy, the girls smiled and waved to their cheering crowd. Ms. Topes walked on stage with the mic, "Let's hear it for the Angels!"
"Bravo, vous adorable Angels!" Bonaparte yelled out to the girls throwing a rose on stage.
The girls walked off stage and approached the gang Amy ran towards Pattie for a hug.
Bedelia seemingly at light speed was posing by the students take pictures of her.
Atticus set eyes on Pattie's sister he made his way over to Amber, but it seemed Adrian headed to her as well.
"I see we have a cutie transfer student in our midst!" Atticus came from behind, grabs her hand and kisses it and winked at her, "Hello there. The name's Atticus Rhodes!" Amber's cheeks began to go red admiring the male's charm,
"Well, hello...Atticus. It's really nice to meet you."
"Yeah, she's quite a beaut, don't know why a gem like her is around such pebbles like these." Adrian pushes Atticus out the way and planted a kiss on her right hand, "I'm Adrian Gecko. You must be Amber."
"U-uhm...That's me! Hello Adrian.." Amber stuttered as she looks at the men fawning over her.
"Yeah, it seems one LAME little pebble is around her!" Atticus said with some anger in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm looking right at him!" Adrian said with a heap load of venom back.
The two had sparks between them and were about to brawl until Amber backed off and ran back to her group.
"Eeeeep! I don't want a murderfest cause of me…"
"W-Wait! Come back!" The two said hopelessly.
Pattie left the party to go sit by cliff looking at the moonlight. She stood there clenching her fists and had a burning passion in her eyes. "Elisha… I'll get you back.. I swear of it! I'll take down that bastard even if I nearly die trying!"
Darkphine appeared in her eyes, "Pattie, it's time for revenge. You know want to destroy Torrez for what he did. We leave first thing in the morning."
Pattie let out a hum of approval. "You're right about that. I'm going to save my sister, even if I die trying. I'll fight to my very last breath, all so I can have my family back."
~Back to the party~
Charlotte had sat down, chatting with Thao since he had not enough energy to go party with everyone else and definitely needed company.
Charlotte was having a good conversation, but she felt herself zone out, and felt a vision in her.
It wasn't all clear, but she could see a cyan haired man, and he turned to face her. Good lord was he handsome! She wish this was just a fantasy, but she couldn't snap out of it. All she could do is stare at the man who stared right back at her, sharing a mutual bewilderment at the other.
"It...that….I...wrong person...Needed to...get… Pattie instead.."
Charlotte then snapped back into reality, trying to decipher the words that were already a pain to make out.
"Hey, Thao.. I'm gonna head out for a bit alright? Ya sit back now and call someone if need be!"
She then escorted herself to the pier, for she did see Pattie leave earlier in that direction.
Thao blinked in bewilderment, albeit confused as to why she zoned out and then decided to leave. He wasn't even the one talking.
Thao was going to leave to accompany Charlotte, But he turned around to see a smiling gaggle of gals. He saw Mindy, Jasmine, Amber, Bedelia and Faline grin at him.
Thao turned to the group. "Hey.. What's all the laughter for…?"
"A little birdie told me you've wanted to get dolled up, all nice and pretty!" Faline giggled at him.
"No shame in that! Most of the boys here hate makeup! For goodness sakes, there's nothing wrong with some eyeliner and eyeshadow here and there! Some guys here could even use it." Mindy pouted.
Thao had blinked twice in a bit of mild confusion, but nodded if it meant he had the chance to show off his natural looks to everyone.
Moments later, the girls all left a room and out from their midst, a dolled up Thao came out from their midst, dark red hair bouncing against his shoulders. His makeup was gothic, and stunned many with how enchantingly dark it was. He made his Slifer uniform look good with a red pleated skirt. The black combat boots sealed the deal on the goth look.
William came on over, pretty amused at how good Thao looked with some makeup and a skirt.
"Mind if I have this dance? Don't worry, I'll take the lead!"
"Uh, you do know it's me right?"
"Honestly Thao, your resting bitch face doesn't disappear with layers of Sephora products. Everyone could atest to that. So.. can I have this dance?"
"Even if we're rivals.. I guess. I'll show you what I can do!"
"Looking forward to it mami~!"
William took his hand and began ballroom dancing with him, and he was impressed that Thao had more control in it than he expected! It seems his rival beat him in that aspect!
The girls oo'd and aah'd at the two who seemed pretty damn good dancing partners.
"Good thing Pattie isn't here to see this.. She'd freak out!" Vanessa couldn't help but laugh.
Zane showed up to the dorm and see the gang guzzling caffeine. Zane looked at Jaden and Jesse bouncing about and sighed knowing that they probably drank half the soda stash.
Faline then spots him and began to blush, hugging him tightly as she could.
"Zane… I'm so glad you're okay..I know we haven't been able to talk much but.."
"It's okay Faline..I'm alright. You don't need to apologize...I love-"
Syrus ran to his brother with joy and hugged him tightly.
"Big bro! You're just in time… I think.. But you're here so that's the main part!"
Faline pouted at Syrus interrupting their romantic moment, but she hugged her brother-in-law tightly in a big group hug.
"Hey uh.. Sy, might want to tell Jaden to lay off the caffeine before he stops his heart." Zane suggested.
"Trying to stop Jaden is like trying to ask me to sleep without a nightlight.. It ain't happening. But.. big bro.. How've you been.. With.. you know. I know it's a life choice you want but.." Syrus answered with a sigh.
Zane sighed and patted his head.
"Don't worry about that. I'm a grown man Sy.. But I can say I'm doing alright. Now go on, hang out with your friends. Don't worry about my journey, especially since we're supposed to be celebrating."
"..Alright big bro. Good to see you again!"
Syrus let go, a bit downtrodden that Zane was still going to go on his war path, no matter what he tried to do. He ran off to rejoin his friends and let his brother and Faline have a moment together.
"As I was saying, I love you Faline.. As you start another year here.. I'll be rooting for you. I may be no cheerleader, especially since I look like Marilyn Manson here.. But I'll be cheering you on, even if we're apart." Zane said with mild joy in his tone.
"How long have we been together anyways..? If we dated when I was 17 and you were 16.. Now I'm 19 and you're 18… Two years! That's mighty impressive I may add. 2 years of.. Well, I guess excitement and turbulence."
Faline hugged him even tighter and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Let's take that 2 years and make it infinity you big goth man!"
Zane laughed and kiss her back on the cheek.
AFTER PARTY - 9PM
Pattie was sitting by the pier looking at the moonlight and stars, she looks at her deck and pulled out her Aqua the Sparkling Dragon. The memories of her and Elisha sharing a bond with this card and all the adventures they had.. The more Elisha was gone, the more those memories stung like hot needles into her heart. She turned to Charlotte, who had joined her earlier and told her about the vision she couldn't control having. She put the card away and went back to rubbing her shoulders.
"Seems like the work of Torrez.. That bastard.. Trying to control me, but ended up nearly doing something awful to you!"
"Torrez? So that's the fellow's name? He has the power to communicate with us just like that..What'd he do to you..?"
"He took my sister from us.. He plans to take as many souls as possible so he could do more than what his father could've done. He wants to revive Leviathan and destroy our world. We thought it would end with his father Dartz, but now his son has come to finish the job.."
"Pattie… If there's anythin' I can do.."
"Charlotte… Would you accompany me to take down Torrez? You're good with technology, right?"
"Mhm.. Indeed I am! I store m' gear in the shed by the harbor. Are you sure you want me to come along? Don't ya want yer friends with you as well?"
"I do.. But if he's contacted you, you might be another target for him.. Especially how he stared at you for that long moment like you said. Even if he meant to see me, once he has you in his sights, he won't stop until he's got your soul."
"..I can definitely get out m' gear. I wanna help you in any way I can. If that Torrez guy wants souls, he might go after all the people in my city.. And then even th' world.. I ain't gonna let that happen! Ya want to board one of the boats and go now?"
"Mhm. Let's go and defeat Torrez!"
The two ran to the harbor, and then began to load Charlotte's agent gear and modified duel disks onto the boat. Charlotte started the engine and threw the ropes off, and set the boat into motion. The two women took on their task to defeat Torrez and stop the end of the world.
ATLANTIS - UNKNOWN TIME
Meanwhile, in the Atlantis island isolated from the rest of the world, was a perfect civilization, dark meteors rained down around the kingdom's barrier. The prince was looking at Pattie and her companion sail on their boat, attempting to get back what was taken from her. Chris then came from behind and looked at the Orichalcos stone and then looked at Pattie in the mirror.
"Brother, are you ok?" Chris asked.
"Humans are a plague upon the world, and that girl Pattie is certainly a plague! She has power beyond her sisters, and she'll do anything to thwart our plans." Torrez said clenching his fists.
"With the power of the Orichalcos, she will be destroyed and for those, she's associated with shall suffer as well!"
Torrez looked at the Orichalcos and then paid close attention to the girl Pattie had traveled with. That other girl was the same girl he accidentally contacted and ended up exchanging a long gaze with her. She had caught his eye, even if she was a human like the rest. He seemed to have thought her as beautiful, certainly more than just a human being. He blinked himself back into reality, Chris taking notice of his daze into the girl.
"Chris… This girl.. When I attempted to contact Pattie and ended up contacting this girl instead… Did you get a good look at her as well?"
"I did, dear brother.. You had stared at her for a very long time before saying she wasn't the right person you were trying to contact. But, you seemed to not be displeased about that. Have you seem to have fallen for her?"
"I will not let infatuation steer me away from my goal. Do you know of her name dear sister? I know you look into the Orichalcos as well when I'm not around."
Chris let out a small gasp, knowing that her brother has caught onto her secret watching sessions.
"I know you aren't wrong in that… But I don't know too much about her.. However.. If you can see right here.." She pointed to a bag with a name on it in the current vision.
"Charlotte. Her name is Charlotte."
"Charlotte… Well Charlotte.. You have made a mistake tagging along with a girl who's doomed to fall, like everyone else!"
Torrez let out a laugh and left the room.
"Pattie, you foolish woman. You'll regret this! Soon your other friends will follow you, and you all will become part of Leviathan's grand revival! This I can promise! Ahahaha!"
Chris could only sigh.. If only Torrez didn't let the stone control him, then life might have been peaceful for everyone on this world.. She could only pray Pattie and her companion Charlotte could save him from his madness.
