SoftWare: I had to rewrite this because the site broke off the connection as I was saving it. Grr.
Luna: At least you could redo it.
SoftWare: Still, it's annoying when I have to do that.
Leo: (Faces Luna) Give him time.
Chapter Two
Twins Rematch
(Recommended music- Evanescence- My Immortal)
Leo stared at his sister, who he had not seen in years. She stared back, before facing Devack and nodding
for him to leave the room. After he left, Luna faced her brother. "Do you have any idea how long I've been
looking for you?!" Leo sighed. "Do you know what it's like to have amnesia?" She shook her head. "The
only reason that happened is because Devack wasn't able to activate the signature he uses to keep track of
our whereabouts." Leo kept his gaze on her. "Why would he need to know that?" Luna sighed. "Because
he's the one who injected us with Crimson." That got Leo's attention. "Doesn't that drug cause
hallucinations?" Luna nodded, then added, "Devack found a way to use it to increase a person's mental
ability, exponentially. He chose six Duelists, all of whom were interested in becoming Dueling champions."
Leo faced his sister. "You wanted to be a champion?" Luna nodded. "In Europe, while you could find
another continent. The process failed in the other four. They were corrupted by the Crimson. Devack's
been keeping tabs on them ever since, and asked my help in keeping them at bay." Leo raised an eyebrow.
"'Keeping them at bay'? What does that mean?" She sighed. "The other four Duelists have started
attacking innocent Duelists, and after they beat them, they recruit them into their personal armies." Leo
thought of the Elementals. 'So that's why those guys were with Light." His sister continued. "We know you
beat Light and the Elementals, but it's not over yet. The other three that were injected are codenamed
'Scepter', 'Sphere', and 'Soldier'." Leo faced her. "We have codenames?" Luna nodded. "I'm 'Beacon', and
you're 'Knight'." 'Probably a reference to Lightray Gearfried.' Facing his sister, he asked, "Light had what's
called a Lightray. Do the other three have cards like that?" Luna rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb, Leo.
You're smarter than you look. Devack made sure of that." Leo sighed. "What's your Lightray, then?" Luna
smirked. "If you want to find out," she activated her Duel Disk, "you'll have to Duel me." Leo wasn't that
interested in bets, but he never backed down from a challenge from his sister. "Let's light 'em up, then."
His Duel Disk activated. They drew their five cards, and said, "Let's Duel!"

(Leo: 4000)
(Luna: 4000)
Leo made up his mind. "Since this is apparently your arena, I'll go first." He drew his card. "I'll start off by
Summoning Trident Warrior in Attack Mode."
(Trident Warrior appeared: a level 4 monster with 1800 ATK)
Continuing, Leo said, "Since he was Summoned, I can Special Summon my Shine Knight in Defense Mode."
(Shine Knight appeared: a level 3 monster with 1900 DEF)
"While in Defense Mode, he becomes level 4, but it doesn't matter in the long run. I Set two cards, and end
my turn." Luna drew her card. "I was expecting a bit more than that, brother. I Summon Sunlight Unicorn
in Attack Mode."
(Sunlight Unicorn appeared: a level 4 monster with 1800 ATK)
Leo's hand remained near his Trap activation button, waiting. "I use his ability, to look at the top card of
my deck, then, if it's a Spell, add it to my hand." She grinned when she saw what it was. "I play a Field
Spell, Shining Paradise!" A bright light enveloped the field, before being replaced by a dimension formed
of light, with a crystal platform, which the twins were standing on. Leo faced Luna for an explanation. "How
the Field Spell works is simple. While this card is in play, from now on, all "Lightray" monsters have their
Attack Points doubled! Also, neither of us can Summon monsters from the Extra Deck." Leo mentally
sighed. 'So much for using Life Stream Dragon." Ra's voice came into Leo's mind. "Do you require
assistance in this matter?" 'No, I can handle this. Every card has a weakness. I just need to figure this
one out.' "On that happy note, I activate Dark Hole!" That got Leo's attention. "What?" All of the monsters
in play were destroyed. Facing his sister with a confused expression, he asked, "Why didn't you play that
before Summoning Sunlight Unicorn?" Luna smirked. "You'll see. I play Shining Legacy. We each choose
a 'Lightray' monster from our Decks, reveal it to the opponent, then add it to our hands." Leo faced her
with confusion in his eyes. 'Why is she letting me get a Lightray so quickly?' Looking through his Deck, he
noticed Lightray Gearfried and Lightray Diabolos side by side. He chose Diabolos, since he didn't want Luna
pulling any nasty surprises on his ace monster. Luna was surprised by his choice. "Light's monster? Why
did you choose that one?" Leo faced her. "I don't like where this is going, and therefore, I will not risk my
ace monster." Luna smirked. "Did I say you had a choice?" She revealed her Lightray, and Leo couldn't
quite make out its name. "I play my last card, Shining Resolve. We both send up to five monsters from
our Decks to the Graveyard, and, if either of us has a Lightray in our hand, their opponent can choose one
from the Deck to add to its owner's hand." Leo paled. 'She's forcing a Shining Light.' "Now, then, I don't
have any more Lightrays in my Deck, but you have at least one. Let's see it, brother." Leo sighed, and
showed her the card. "That's more like it. This is gonna be so much fun!"
