Song Of Hope: I was watching GX, and Hassleberry kept saying Sam Hill. I got curious, and looked it up after he said it in a sentence, and when I saw it, an example of it used in a sentence was 'What in Sam Hill is that?' and that's what Hassleberry had just said that made me look it up. Weird, huh? Anyways, onto Chapter 4!
School was finally over. They were all going home.
"See you later guys."
"Bye."
"See you tomorrow."
"Later."
"It was nice meeting you all." Sara Anne smiled as they all left. "They're really nice. I wish I didn't have to keep who I really am a secret." She went to where she had met Yugi. 'Well, this is where that jerk dumped my Duel Disk. Now I need to get it." She left and went down to where she could easily just jump in. She put down her bag and her cards and jumped in. The water was fresh, so she could keep her eyes open. She looked around and saw her Duel Disk. She swam over to it, grabbed it, and swam back up to the surface. She swam back to the shore and shook the water off of her Duel Disk, until she had shaken off almost all of the water. "Man, and I glad that my mom is nag. Because of that, my Duel Disk is water proof." She sat there in the grass until she felt that she had sufficiently dried out. She put her Deck back in the Duel Disk, grabbed her bag, and walked off.
At the Game Shop
"Grandpa, I'm home." His grandfather turned to him.
"Hello Yugi how was your day?"
"Well, I met someone on the way to school. Someone was trying to throw her cards into a river, but I used Dark Magician to save them. She's a new transfer student at school. She quickly became friends with me and everyone else."
"Well, that's good. Wait, she's a girl?"
"Um, yeah."
"That's great. Now Tea can quit being so sore about not having any other friends that are girls." He nodded.
"I'm going to go to my room and do my homework."
"Alright then. I'll call you down for supper." Yugi nodded and went upstairs to his room. Yami came out again, sitting on Yugi's bed.
"You still don't find Sara Anne strange? She just happened to be nearby when she was attacked, she easily made friends with all of you, she and Tea apparently have a lot in common, she knew exactly how to make a fool out of Joey when he said certain statements-"
"That's not really all that hard Pharaoh, Joey tends to pull things out of nowhere."
"Point is, you still don't find her strange?" Yugi sat down.
"Not really Pharaoh. She seemed really nice."
"Yes, but so did Marik."
"Marik actually was really nice, but his father turned him bitter. He's not such a bad guy now that his evil side is gone."
"These coincidences just remind me of when Joey won that trip to Indian."
"This isn't like that. It's not a whole winning-a-trip-and-having-your-plane-crash-and-coincidentally-finding-the-last-person-who-saw-your-grandpa-only-to-find-out-you-were-set-up thing. Besides, she didn't seem mean at all, and what happened could happen to a lot of people, except they wouldn't be us."
"But remember how the Puzzle reacted to her?" Yugi brought up the memory. "It flung her back. Not me, but the Puzzle itself. Doesn't that seem a little strange to you?" Yugi thought about it.
"Well, the Millennium Puzzle uses Shadow Magic, remember? Maybe she is just a pure, innocent girl, so when they touched, they reacted, and flung each other back."
"That's unlikely, in fact, impossible. No matter how good a person is, everyone has darkness in their heart. That's not the case Yugi. Some people are very kind and gentle, but everyone can get upset, or angry, or jealous, and those are all darkness's. Face it Yugi, there's something suspicious about that girl. And she also looks familiar."
"Not really. The closest thing is that the brown in her hair is the same as Tea's. Otherwise, she looks like no one we know. Now, I really do have to get started on my homework, so I'm going to do that now. And relax Pharaoh. If something happens, then we can handle it. We've handle soul stealers, mind stealers, Shadow Games, the Shadow Realm, Millennium Items, evil dark sides of nice people, a world of monsters hatching from rocks, I think we can handle a girl." Yami nodded, and went back inside the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi smiled and got started on his homework.
Where Sara Anne Is
Sara Anne walked to where she was staying. It was a crummy little motel. But it was very cheap, and they didn't ask questions, like where her parents were. She went to her room, crashed on the bed, and sighed.
"At least I know that everything will turn out okay now." She got up and went over to the window. "I just hope nothing goes wrong. If I fail, all is lost. I wonder if everything will happen according to plan. I hope, for my sake, and everyone else's on Earth, that is does. And I wish I could have Yugi help, but if he or the Pharaoh did, all would be lost." She closed the curtains on the window.
In the GX Era
Sandra Beth was amazed at where Alexis lived.
"This is where you live?"
"Yeah. I moved in here after Professor Crowler tried to make me wear a dress and sing while I Dueled. I was going to bunk with Jaden, but Chazz had this place built. He's a pain, but admittedly, he does have a taste for high style and knows how to make some very comfortable living conditions."
"What's a Duel? No one has told me yet." She sighed.
"Okay, there's a game called Duel Monsters. It's the most popular game in the world. When people play, it's called a Duel." Just then, Chazz came out of a room.
"Alexis, who's there?" She turned to him.
"Oh, hey Chazz, this is Sandra Beth. She was just recently in an accident, and doesn't remember much. She doesn't even remember how to Duel, or what Duel Monsters is."
"Well, she can't be all that good if she can't even remember how to Duel at all, or she's not a Duelist." Then he got a good look at her, and realized, well, she was hot. Sure, her hair was kind of weird, but her eyes and face were just plain hot. "Or maybe not." Alexis sighed.
"Here we go." She turned to Sandra Beth and talked softly to her. "Watch out for Chazz, he's in love with me, but now I think it's transferred to you, which is great for me, but one of the worst things that could happen to you." Alexis then started talking in a sarcastic voice. "Watch out for him stealing keys to Spirit Gates that seal away the Sacred Beasts and having you Duel, and becoming his girlfriend if you lose, or him having you brainwashed because of his crush. Then again, when that happened, he was brainwashed as well. But he was still crazy before, during, and after."
"Hey, I heard that!" She was very confused.
"I don't remember any of this either."
"That's because you weren't here anyways, so there's nothing to remember."
"I'm still very confused, because everything you said made no sense." Chazz ran down there.
"Well, allow me to fill you in. These are some very important events that were grave, until The Chazz came in and saved the day."
"The Chazz?" Alexis sighed.
"He likes to call himself The Chazz, and that's not what happened. While you and I were in some sort of soul dimension, Jaden was saving our butts by Dueling Professor Banner, and then Kagemaru. Then, he saved us after you were brainwashed and after you brainwashed me." She turned back to Sandra Beth. "You see, it all started at the Duel Academy Entrance Exams, to determine who was allowed to come to school here, and who went home, by Dueling, and whoever lost went home, but however won got into Duel Academy." She continued on, explaining the Shadow Riders, the Spirit Keys, and the Spirit Gates.
"Okay, so what about the brain washing?"
"Well, it all started when Jaden Dueled some nobody who challenged him, who actually was a big deal." Then, she went on to explain the whole Society of Light incident. All of the explaining took about an entire 3 hours. Sandra waited to ask all of her questions until the end.
"Who's Yugi Motto?" She sighed again, while Chazz anime fell.
"Only the greatest person to ever pick up a Deck! He beat champion after champion, and evil masterminds too. He even defeated Maximillion Pegasus."
"And who is he?" Chazz anime fell again.
"The creator of Duel Monsters, and the head of the largest gaming company in the world, Industrial Illusions!"
"So, if he beat the head of the world's largest gaming company, he's like, the King of Games?" Suddenly, her face showed her mind drifting off, but then she snapped back. "King of Games, it sounds familiar."
"Good, you're getting some of your memory back, and it's about Duel Monsters." Chazz took Sandra Beth's hands.
"Maybe I can help you regain your memories."
"Really? How?"
"With a kiss. I hear it can do anything." He tried, but she just slapped him. In fact, she slapped him so hard he became unconscious and left a red mark in the shape of her hand.
"Geez! Just because I can't remember anything doesn't mean you can take advantage of me!" Alexis laughed.
"Nice one. I should have done that a long time ago." They high-fived. Then they noticed Chazz had a small cut on his face, right where Sandra's fingernails would be. "I think you cut him with your fingernails."
"He deserved it. He creeps me out."
"Ditto."
"And you live with him?"
"It's only because it's more comfortable than Jaden's room. And I'm not going back to the Obelisk Blue dorms. Crowler may not be Chancellor anymore, but he's still in charge of the Obelisk Blue dorms, and I don't want to deal with that." Then, Ojama Yellow appeared.
"Boss, what happened?" Ojama Green and Ojama Black came out too.
"Looks like he fell asleep."
"He has a slap mark on his hand, he mad Alexis mad."
"Poor Boss, he's been rejected again! Let's give him a hug! That'll make him feel better." Ojama Yellow went to go give Chazz a hug, but his eyes opened and swatted him away.
"Keep away from me!" Alexis sighed.
"If only you hadn't woken yourself up." Sandra Beth was confused.
"He didn't wake himself up. A little weird yellow tried to give him a hug, and like on instinct, he woke up and swatted it away." Chazz was slightly socked.
"You can see them too?" She nodded.
"Yeah, as plain as day. Why, can't you? It called you Boss, and I'm pretty sure that means they only listen to you." Alexis was surprised.
"And I always thought that you guys were a little bit bonkers, but, now, with that being about four people, it's hard not to believe." The Ojama's got excited.
"Yeah! Someone other than the Boss, Jaden, and Jesse can see us!" Ojama Yellow flew up to her. "So, do you know any other Duel Monster Spirits?" She gave him a small smile.
"I'm sorry, but I don't remember much of anything at all." Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green, and Ojama Black all got tears in their eyes.
"How sad!"
"It's depressing."
"That's right."
"Let's all give her a big hug!" The all came around her and gave her a big hug. She smiled.
"How thoughtful. Thank you so much." Ojama Yellow smiled.
"Thanks. The Boss never hugs us." They broke up the hug. She gave Chazz a surprised look.
"You don't?"
"No, they are annoying, gross, and to top it all off, pests!"
"You're mean to them Chazz."
"Yeah, so?"
"They deserve better than that. If you don't treat them right, they'll all leave."
"And your Deck relies on the Ojama's, so what will happen when they're gone?"
"Just zip it."
In the 5D's Era
Yusei wiped the sweat off his brow.
"There, that should do it, at least for now. I still have to finish it up at the garage." He had for the most part fixed the Duel Runner, mostly needing just some fine-tuning and some cosmetic touch ups. "Now, to activate the Emergency Copycat Program." The Copycat Program was designed for accidents. If there was no mechanic close enough to the accident sight, the Copycat Program could allow another Turbo Duelist to take control of the other Duel Runner to get it to where it can be repaired. The hardware was practically indestructible, and was actually an electrical magnet, which had a power source also guarded by the hardware incase of accidents. Yusei turned on the Program, and then turned it on with his Duel Runner, and instantly, the Runner lined up with his. He got on his Duel Runner and sped off, while the hot pink more classical motorcycle style Duel Runner did the same.
At the Garage
"So, you were in a Turbo Duel when your Duel Runner malfunctioned?" She gave a pathetic laugh while she rubbed the back of her head.
"Yeah, I made it out of spare parts. I guess it wasn't very good then."
"That's interesting. Yusei, Jack, and Crow all built their Duel Runner too, and out of Junk, but now, they have some of the best Duel Runners out there."
"You know it. The Phoenix Whirlwind is the best out there." He pointed to his Runner.
"That's a sweet Duel Runner."
"Yes, I owned the original one."
"I heard about it. I heard you stole and crashed it, and your Phoenix Whirlwind is a replacement." He was very shocked.
"No one knew I took it, or crashed it! How did you?" Serene Cay looked very shocked.
"Dude, I was joking! You actually did that?" He regained his composure.
"No, of course not. I was joking too." Serene looked suspicious, but dropped it.
"So, where exactly am I? I wasn't in New Domino yet when I started that Turbo Duel, and I was so absorbed in the Duel, I didn't pay attention to where I was, I just made sure I didn't crash into something or someone, but other than that, I didn't pay attention to anything outside of the Duel."
"That happens to the best of us." They all turned to who said it.
"Yusei, your back." He nodded. He had his helmet under his arm.
"The Runners are outside. I'll drive in my Runner in, and yours will follow because of the Copycat Program. I just wanted to let you guys know, because you guys are in the way, and I don't want anyone to get hurt." They nodded and moved out of the way. Yusei went outside again. He got on his bike and drove them into the garage.
"Thanks for salvaging my Duel Runner."
"It's no problem. I already got it mostly fixed, it's mostly just cosmetic repairs." She smiled.
"That's awesome. So, what happened to cause the crash?"
"Well, the fuel line was worn out, so it separated from the fuel tank, and when the fuel mixed with the heat of the engine, it caused an explosion. The break lines were worn out also."
"That explains why the breaks didn't work. Thanks a lot Yusei."
"It's no problem. So, why are you in New Domino anyway?"
"Well, living in ruins isn't very fun. I hoped if I came here, I'd have a better life."
"That makes sense, but why New Domino exactly?"
"Well, many famous Duelist live here, and not to mention, this led me here." She held out a golden symbol for an eye within a circle with points coming out of it, like the sun with sunrays, on a staff. "It's called the Millennium Scepter. I found it in the ruins of an old game shop. It was in a locked box, but something just spoke to me, saying I should get it open. When I did, there was a note. 'The Millennium Scepter, separate from the seven, holds greatness to behold, but controls darkness untold.' I have no idea what the seven are, but I was hoping something here could tell me."
"That eye looks similar to the one on the puzzle that the famous Yugi Motto wore."
"Well, I'm pretty sure it was his old game shop I found it in."
Song Of Hope: Oh, a mysterious Eighth Millennium Item. What's next in this story?
