Chapter 2: The Rescue
It's been a couple weeks since Chase solved the Second Millennium Puzzle. She got used to being with the spirit. Chase even talked to the spirit of the puzzle often. Chase was in her room and the spirit was sitting beside her. The spirit had brown hair with blonde bangs and blue eyes narrower than Chase's.
"Who are you exactly?" asked Chase.
The spirit looked down and replied, "I-I don't know who I am. The only memories I have are that my spirit is in the Millennium Puzzle and my origins lie in Egypt." Chase felt sorry for the spirit. She didn't know who she was in the past.
"Don't worry, we'll find out soon. I promise" exclaimed Chase, smiling.
The spirit looked at the and said, "Thank you." The spirit disappeared and Chase went to school.
Yugi dropped Chase off and Chase went in the building.
It was after school and Yugi picked Chase up. Chase stopped as she saw Kayla and John getting beat up by a thug. "Spirit, we have to help them" exclaimed Chase. The spirit nodded and the puzzle glowed.
Yugi watched in amazement as she changed. 'This must be the spirit of the puzzle' Yugi thought. Chase opened her eyes and the spirit was now in control.
She ran to the thug and shouted, "Leave them alone!"
The thug pointed his gun at the spirit and said, "If you get in my way, I'll kill you."
The spirit took out her duel disk and exclaimed, "How about we duel and if you lose, you will suffer a Penalty Game."
The thug took out a duel disk and said, "You're on."

"Yay, she won!" shouted Kayla.
"You little brat! I'll kill you!" shouted the thug, pointing his gun at the spirit.
"I don't think so. Penalty Game!" shouted the spirit, reaching towards the thug.
"Ahhhh!" screamed the thug, falling to the ground.
Chase turned back to herself and whispered, "Thanks Spirit."
"Hey Chase!" shouted John, from behind.
"Maybe we could be friends" exclaimed Kayla.
"Really?" asked Chase, smiling. They both nodded and gave eachother a group hug.
Yugi watched this and whispered, "I'm glad that she has friends."
Somewhere near them, a man with black hair looked at Chase. "At last, she has returned" exclaimed the man.
