Recap:

"So," Tristan slowly said, "What did you hear?" And when she slightly opened her mouth to say 'Nothing' he said "Also don't bother lying we know you heard something. We just want to know what."

Joey fiddled with her binder and prayed to whatever god, Ancient Egyptian or not, there was that they would help her out of this question.

Unfortunately every single deity had taken a rain-check when she had asked for help or they were just ignoring her, she couldn't decide which.

She glanced around the hall nervously looking for a way out. Sadly there was no way out. Duke, Yugi, Ryou, Tristan, and Tea had formed a loose but small circle around her giving no options of escaping. That meant only one thing: Plan B.

Plan B was basically a not very well thought out plan that was basically they're onto me! Deny everything then abort! Abort! Abort! Abort! She had thought of it only seconds ago and it seemed plausible. Maybe. Pausibly.

"Oh um. I didn't uh hear anything. I was walking to the classroom and I tripped and dropped my uh… binder and then you guys came storming out of the classroom. Um… is something wrong with your friends? They are uh… looking a bit pale and are their necklaces glowing?" Joey asked incredulously diverting everyone's attention from her to Ryou and Yugi.

Tristan and Tea looked over at Yugi and Ryou, both fearing for their friends, and saw that Yugi and Ryou were standing frozen, and their Millennium Items were glowing a bright gold.

"Hey," Tea said, "Your necklace is glowing too. What's going on?" Joey looked down and realized Tea was right. The Millennium Scales were glowing the same bright gold as Yugi's and Ryou's. And, the second Joey looked back up she met Yugi's eyes then suddenly she was transported into another place.

Joey groaned and blinked her eyes in the bright light as she looked around trying to figure out where she was.

She was back in the throne room from her dream last night. But the scene had shifted slightly. Instead of the blinding sunlight it was night and the only light in the throne room was given off by very bright torches lining the walls.

Joey looked around and found Juno staring at a large chest sitting at the foot of throne. That certainly was new. The chest had the symbol of the eye that was on all of the Millennium objects. The Millennium Eye.

Juno seemed entranced by the chest and slowly walked up to it. As she came closer to it, the chest flew open and a big flash emitted from it.

Juno jumped away, obviously stunned. She stood in her spot for a few seconds before shaking her head, as if to clear it, and walked cautiously back towards the box.

When she was a few inches away from it Juno stopped and stared into the box. Joey leaned over to peer into the box with Juno. Inside was the Millennium Scales but something was wrong with them. They were glowing but it wasn't a normal magical Ancient Egyptian Millennium Item glow (not that there was any normal magical Ancient Egyptian Millennium Item glow that was ever in any way possible normal). It was a harsh glow which hurt Joey's eyes when she looked into the glow.

Juno seemed only mildly effected by the harsh light and reached towards the Scales to grab them, but when her hand touched the Scales, she let out a pained scream and as did Joey.

Joey could feel a burning sensation in her wrists, which was the cause of all her pain and screaming, and looked down and screamed again but this time it was in surprise not pain. Her wrists were now incased in a blinding gold light, but this was a comforting light that kept Joey from having a severe panic attack right then and there.

As the glow slowly faded, Joey's curiosity spiked. What was now on her wrists? What had caused the glowing off her wrists and on the Millennium Scales? Was it her or Juno? Or was it both of them? Was Joey the reason?

No that couldn't be possible. Joey was the plain one among her friends. She was the messed up ex-gang member who wasn't very special. She was barely known because she had done so well at the duel tournaments and because Yugi's fans always saw her with Yugi. So it was impossible for her to believe that she could be 'magical' or special like Yugi or Ryou no matter how many times Tristan tried to boost her spirits by saying she was 'the best person in the entire world' and that 'he shouldn't be so hard on himself or his actions from the past'.

(A/N In the story, Tristan said this when Joey was a boy so no one get confused ok?)

Which for Joey basically meant that she had messed up. By saying that Joey shouldn't be hard on herself about her past actions meant that she had to be hard on herself because there was a reason to be hard on herself. This felt justified to her.

Joey's thoughts got redirected when she heard a loud evil cackle echo around her and the throne room. Her guard was immediately up and she spun around to find the source of the laughter. Her search was a complete fail though. Juno was kneeling on the ground not paying attention to the laughter, so she wouldn't be any help.

"Oh look little Juno found her reincarnation. Or well should I say Juno found our reincarnation." The laughing started up again and Juno froze in place. Finally, she had heard the laughter.

"Josephine." Juno mumbled so softly and quietly Joey almost didn't hear her. The laughing ceased and a cold presence settled all around the garden.

"Now onto our little friend Juno." A huge flash of white light caused Joey to flinch back from it.

After the light had dissipated, Joey looked towards where the light had originated, right next to Juno, and saw a girl that looked as if she could be Juno's twin but instead of Juno's beautiful ruby-like eyes this girl had eyes the color of crimson, like blood. They were completely horrifying, and Joey gasped when she saw them.

Josephine smiled at Juno and snapped her fingers, and Juno disappeared in another flash, this one not as bright as the others. Joey gasped again at the disappearance of Juno thus causing the girl with the blood colored eyes, Josephine, to look around to find the source of the noise. Joey shuddered when the girl's gaze swept to her. Joey shuddered again when the eyes met hers in greeting.

"Oh hello dear Joey. My name is Josephine." Josephine started to walk towards Joey. Joey tried to move her feet, but they seemed to be stuck to the ground and wouldn't let her move. "And, well, I guess you already know Juno." Joey tried to back away from Josephine but her feet stayed stuck to the ground still.

"What do you want?" Joey asked her voice slightly quivering with fear. Everything about this girl scared her, especially the way she smiled at Joey's question.

Josephine smiled evilly and said "Well my little Joey what I want is for my sister to burn in the Shadow Realm for the rest of eternity, and I want you all to myself. Your power all to myself. But, sadly neither of those things are going to happen…. Today. But they will soon. Very soon"

"What do you want me for?" Joey asked trying to get rid of the quiver of fear in her voice but failing miserably.

"Oh dear me! Juno hasn't explained anything to you, has she? Well she probably couldn't with me interfering. Oh well guess I'll just have to explain it myself. As the saying goes, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself." Josephine stepped closer to Joey as Joey finally managed to move her feet. "You see Joey, Juno and I, well, we're the same person. I'm just the evil side and she's the goody-two-shoes side. We were separated as twins long ago, but now we're whole again. But when things are separated, even once, they never go back together quite as well ever again. Now you're probably wondering, how does this apply to you? Well young Joey, you're our reincarnation, and you are going to decide how the world ends. Now isn't that fun?" Josephine laughed maniacally; her blood red eyes gleaming sadistically.

Joey's eyes widened in fear. She needed to get out of there right now. This lady was insane!

Joey looked around frantically until her eyes landed on the Millennium Scales. They were still floating in mid-air like nothing had happened since they had risen into the air, and Joey knew that if she could get the Scales she might be able to get away.

She kicked at Josephine and ran past her to the Scales. She heard Josephine screech at her, but as Joey's hand grabbed the Scales, she was transported back to her school.

"Today really hasn't been my day." Joey mumbled as she fainted in the hallway in her school.
