Sorry for the long wait I had a few months off from the terrible reviews. ENJOY!


In a mansion...

"GAH!" A man had just been knocked back. It looked as though an Orichalcos Duel is happening, and this duelist is losing by what it seems like.

"Your fate has been sealed. It is useless to try to write what was already written by the stars many years ago." Who he was dueling was a cloaked man what has purple markings, and long purple nails on him with purple glowing eyes. "You believed that you would achieve greatness but your nothing more than a pawn in a game beyond your comprehension."

The duelist he is facing looked up at the monster the cloaked man has. It is a Number Card that has the Number 11 on it which is a big pillar with a red ring on it, and a big red eye on it. "And now you will give me that which I seek." The cloaked man smirked. The duelist got up, as he yelled "This... isn't over! Number 16: Shock Master! Attack!"

The Number he was reffering to is black while having a purple 16 on it's body while having a face, and two large eyes on the head area while having 2300 attack points. The Number charged while the cloaked man started laughing before the duel was over, and the Seal stole the duelist's soul. Before his soul was stolen the duelist demanded "Hey, who are you? Tell me!"

"You need not worry your hapless self about who I am, but who I have sworn allegiance to." The cloaked man smirked. "I serve at the pleasure of my great master, Kite! It is for him that I take your Number Card while the Seal of Orichalcos steals your soul."

After that saying the seal vanished as the duelist motionless dropped on the floor. The cloaked man took the Number Card before saying "Your bidding has been done, my master another Number Card has been obtained." Who he was talking too was Kite himself sitting on a throne.


Back at school...

Elize has just arrived at campus 40 minutes early. Dust in his regular attire, and Bella were with her. "I hope that duel against Duncan didn't spooked you too much." Dust said concerned about Elize's health.

"N-No Dust. I want to help him being freeing him from the Number!" Elize protested.

Bella smiled, "Your a good kid. ...But a bit too nice." "Sorry." Elize said drooping. Dust smiled "No reason to be sorry. You just wanted to protect everyone, and that is why we like you." "Th-Thank you, Dust." Elize smiled.

"Anytime." Dust nodded. Bella smiled, "I guess we made a good team on this Number Hunting." "Yes I hope anyone won't do anything rash." Dust advised. "That's the last thing I want to happen."


"Huh? The Number Card Hunting Club?"

Who asked that question was a small boy wearing a hoodie while having on a yellow, and blue striped shirt, having on blue sneakers, and blue eyes. "Yeah, the Stardust Duelist is having trouble with the Number Cards so I think we should help him." A boy with smooth black hair having on a tan coat, black shirt, and black pants while having on a locket that looks like a card.

"Don't forget it was my idea." A boy that is wearing a jester outfit of two colors being blue, and yellow while having smiling stars on it, and has combed black hair while their is a hint of blue on it. He has on face-paint of a star on his left cheek, and bright blue eyes. His pants are made of fine cloth, that looks like it belongs to a clown, that has red on where the knees on. His shoes are yellow, and white and having on a smile.

"We know." The black hair boy said. "We will uncover the mystery about them."

"Did someone say mystery?"

They looked seeing a young boy wearing glasses while having on a purple, and green suit, having brown hair, and a blue hat. "Uh yeah." The blue-hooded boy said. The boy jumped down, as he said "I love a good mystery. I am requesting membership in your club." "Sure the more the merrier right guys?" The jester boy smiled. "Yeah sounds good." The black haired boy smiled.

The blue-hooded boy nodded.

"I am Flip Tuner by the way." The glasses boy smiled. "Nice to meet ya. I am the amazing performer, Performer Laugh-'Macker'! Len Davis but everyone calls me Mack." The jester boy smiled acting like a clown.

"I'm Mokuba Kaiba." The black hair boy smiled.

"And I'm Riley Akaba." The blue-hooded boy introduced.

"Ahem." They see a teenage girl that has cherry blonde shoulder length hair, dark green eyes, and wearing a shirt that is dark red and black striped, and having on white jeans, and blue sneakers. "I don't know what you four are up too but I would like to join." The girl simply said closing her eyes.

"Alright." Mack grinned. "Jennifer Ioaka is my name." The cheery hair girl said in a cold voice.


The five split up looking for some Number Hunters looking around.

Mokuba told some cats "Come on, let's look for some Number holders!"

While with Riley he is looking around, as he checked the news to see if any new Numbers have shown up.

With Flip he opened a sewer lid, and muttered "A mystery if just a puzzle. A puzzle has pieces. Pieces that fit together, but how? And what if you don't have all the pieces? Or the box that tells you what the puzzle is even supposed to look like! Very curious."

Jennifer is looking around while keeping a watchful eye out, and taking several pictures.

With Mack he is asking some people, as he asked a man "Excuse me sir have you seen a Number Card?" The man walked off as Mack grinned "...Okay then!" "Why are you running around, and asking people about Number Cards?" Mack looked, and saw a blue coat boy that has dark blue hair, while having on blue jeans, and black shoes.

Mack smiled, "I am trying to help the Stardust Duelist with this problem. Maybe you know about them sir?" "Shark." The boy introduced himself. "I know that they're bad news, and that you shouldn't be asking random strangers about them." "Why not? I wanna help the Stardust Duelist." Mack asked confused.

Shark answered being serious, "This isn't a game that you wanna be playing, Mack, leave it alone, and let the Stardust Duelist handle it." He walked away. Mack blinked before smiling "That means he is secretly encouraging me!"


"Did anyone find anything?" Mokuba asked at a sunset.

Their answers except Flip are no. "Seems like this a waste of time." Jennifer concluded. "I guess I wasted my whole evening on something like this." "Aw come on ma'am be happy!" Mack smiled. Jennifer looked at Mack with a cold stare which Mack was unfazed by her threat. "Uh... I think we should drop it." Riley mentioned.

"Have no fear, Flip is here!" Flip said appearing in front of them. "Sometimes you've just gotta look in unlikely places, which is exactly what I did!"


In front of the mansion...

They walked in front of the mansion from earlier, as Riley stammered "Um... Are you sure about this?" "I was told that this mansion belongs to a world-renowned fortune teller!" Flip advised the group.

Jennifer rolled her eyes, "Please I don't believe in anything of the sort." "Show some-" The gates suddenly opened, as they looked seeing it was the cloaked man from earlier smirking, "And what have we here, stray lambs looking for answers, and guidance?"

"And you are?" Jennifer asked being the oldest out of the group. "I am Fortuno my dear. I have been expecting you, follow me and I will lead you towards the enlightenment you all are seeking." The cloaked man answered guiding them inside.


They are in the hallways looking around, as Jennifer kept a close eye on Fortuno while the kids looked around amazed by what their seeing except Flip he looks calm, and patience.

They arrived in a field, as Fortuno stopped. "I know why you five are here. You seek to gain knowledge about something that is troubling you." Fortuno advised turning to them.

"And how do you know that?" Jennifer asked not believing the fortune telling.

Fortuno answered "I see everything! What your looking for is, Let's see." He made a purple orb in his hands as everyone even Jennifer looked surprised as Fortuno gone to work, as he said "I'm seeing a rectangle, something thin, I'm seeing a card!" The five looked shocked hearing that. Now Jennifer is starting to have second thoughts. "Not just a normal card, a powerful card, it's, no, not one specific card, a type of card. I'm see visions of... Numbers!"

Mokuba, and Mack smiled as Mack cried "Yeah, we're looking for some Number-" Flip smacked him, as he scolded "Show some respect! We can't just tell him that like a banshee!" Jennifer walked closer, as she asked "So what else do you see in the Numbers?"

"These Numbers contain a great evil. A evil that is known as the Orichalcos." Fortuno answered.

Jennifer asked, "The Orichalcos?" "An evil, and mystical energy forged long ago. It seeks to claim the souls of the duelists that lost in a duel with them. And it does that by using the Numbers to possess those who held them, they invade their hearts, and corrupt their spirits." Fortuno answered.

Mokuba cried, "Then that means the Stardust Duelist will end up like those people if he loses!" "Tell me is the Stardust Duelist involved in the Number Cards?" Fortuno asked as his eyes glowed purple, and did a hypnosis at Jennifer.

"Yes. We seen him, and two girls use Number Cards to ad the Stardust Duelist against the Number Cards. And he mentioned that more are being more dangerous as the days closed by around them. All three of them have Number Cards, and that girl that has a shark like Number is the weakest because she is too nice for her own good." Jennifer replied in a monotone.

"Unfortunely me vision ends here." Fortuno advised as the orb vanished. "You have given me what the stars said you would, my dear little lamb, my master is going to be most grateful." He put his hand on her shoulder, as the four boys tensed.

"And I want you all to stay a bit." Fortuno smirked before he jumped back, and the ground around them broke apart. Jennifer snapped out, as they cried out before Mack jumped expertly as he jumped out of the gap before running out as Mokuba cried, "Mack get help!"

"Yes get help." Fortuno smirked.


Mack ran around, as he cried "Stardust Duelist!" That caught Dust, Bella, and Elize's attention as they looked. "Stardust Duelist please help!" Mack cried.

Dust ran to a dumpster as he cried "Go Stardust Transformation!" He transformed to his Stardust Duelist form, as he yelled "The Stardust Duelist has appeared!"

"Stardust Duelist!" Mack cried again. "I'm here! What do you need?" Dust asked jumping behind him. Mack turned, and answered "It's my friends! They've been taken hostage!" "Hostage? Who was it!?" Dust asked as Elize, and Bella walked to them.

"It was someone named-" Mack was cutoff suddenly. Dust asked "Who? What's his name!?"

"He can't hear you right now." Mack said in a mixture of his voice, and Fortuno's. "Huh? Are you the guy that held his friends hostage!?" Dust asked surprised by this new development. "Yes, Stardust Duelist. My name is Fortuno. I am a seer of all things and I bring to a message on behalf of my master, Kite." Fortuno explained.

"Kite!" Astral cried out appearing beside Elize. "We have this boy's friends, Stardust Duelist, if you want to save them you, and your girl companions must come to my mansion and duel me. If you refuse my request, then this boy's friends will be burned in lava." Fortuno advised before releasing Mack from his control.

"Where is this mansion?" Dust asked Mack. Mack shook his head before saying, "Follow me!"


With the four...

"Nobody panic."

Jennifer was the one who said that, as she, and the three boys were standing on a pillar that underneath them was lava. Flip however didn't listen, "Somebody save me!" "Hey Jennifer said to calm down!" Mokuba cried. Flip argued, "Why should I calm down when I know we're doomed!?"

"Kids!"

The four looked, and saw Dust, with Elize, Bella, and Mack are with him. "The Stardust Duelist!" Flip, Mokuba, and Riley cried out.


With Dust...

They ran in as Dust said "There are the hostages!" The kids tried to say something but the four isn't hearing them. "Welcome, Stardust Duelist! So glad you can make it." They looked seeing Fortuno. "Are you the evildoer named, Fortuno?" Dust asked him.

Fortuno smirked, "I am pleased you remembered my name. Yes I am. And I will gladly release the hostages if one of you can defeat me in a duel, and I hope you don't mind, but my master Kite will be spectating." Dust, Elize, Bella, and Astral instantly looked at the throne to see it was indeed Kite. "That's him! Kite!" Elize cried out terrified at his appearance.

Fortuno chuckled, "Master Kite! I, your humble servant, will defeat these three kids, and seize their Numbers!" "Stop in the name of justice!" Dust called out. "Fortuno we accept your challenge!" Fortuno smirked.

Bella asked, "Who's going first?" "I'll do it." Elize said as Bella, and Dust turned to her. Dust asked "Are you sure? Fortuno might be just as powerful as Kite." "I know. But I want to show how powerful I have gotten ever since my duel with Kite!" Elize pointed out. Dust, and Bella looked at each other uncertain but she did have a fair point. Elize had been training, and have gotten some help from a Duel Spirit named, Kaibaman. They hope that with his help he'll help.

"Soon your souls will belong to the Orichalcos, and your Number cards will belong to my master!" Fortuno smirked. Elize looked serious, and said "Let's see if that's true, Mr. Fortuno."

They got ready as the computer readied the duel. Fortuno then raised his hand, as a card appeared as Bella recognized, "That's..." "The Seal of Orichalcos!" Dust cried. Fortuno smirked, as Elize flinched before looking serious.

"Augmented reality vision link established."

Astral agreed, "Dust is right we must be cautious!" "No I agree with Bella you should attack before Fortuno gets a chance to summon a Number!" Hiita protested. Elize looked confused, before saying "Uh... Maha Vailo attack Orange Shaman!"

"Elize!" Dust cried shocked. Bella cheered "Oh yeah!"

Fortuno smirked however, "I reveal the trap, Dance of the Guardian!"


Dance of the Guardian

Normal Trap Card

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Choose 1 random card in your opponent's hand, and if that card is a Monster Card, negate the attack and send that card to the Graveyard, then draw 1 card.


"Aw no!" Elize cried out remembering that trap all to well.

Fortuno explained, "This allows me to chose one card in your hand, and if it just happens to be a monster card, then your attack will be nullified!" Elize looked shocked before looking at her hand. She sees only one monster card, and that's Hiita the Fire Charmer.

"And I already know what your holding." Fortuno smirked.

Bella protested "No you don't! It isn't like your a psychic!" "Actually he's a Fortune-Teller." Mack pointed out. Fortuno smirked, "You have 5 cards in your hand. There's only one monster card among them. That would be the third card on your left." Elize looked, and saw it was indeed that.

"Oh come on! I didn't even get a chance to-" Hiita was cut-off when her card vanished to the graveyard, as Maha Vailo's attack was stopped. "And since I was correct Dance of the Guardian send the card I select to the graveyard, and I am able to draw from my deck!" Fortuno added.

Elize frowned "Sorry Hiita, sorry Maha Vailo I was just so confused and-" Maha Vailo raised a hand that she obediently stopped talking as he gave her, a assuring smile. Elize smiled, and nodded before saying "I set a card face-down, and end my turn."

Fortuno cried, "Behold Shock Master's special ability! Once a turn, I can use one Overlay Unit to negate the effect of a card type of my choosing!" "What!?" Elize cried shocked. She never expected to face a Number that has that effect! "Yes. And that same type can't be used for two turns. I chose trap!" At Fortuno's cry Shock Master fired a horn that hit Elize's Face-down.

"I do hope you weren't planning to use it." Fortuno smirked. Elize started shaking seeing this. Fortuno laughed wickedly as he cried, "Shock Master! Take out Maha Vailo!" Shock Master charged a it tackled Maha Vailo. Elize cried out taking the blow, as she and her friends grunted in place. (Elize: 2750)

With the Duelists...

"Oh did I forget to mention? His friend's safety depends on you. The more Life Points you'll lose, the more the rock on which they stand will crumble." Fortuno smirked.

"You... You can't!" Elize protested. Fortuno smirked "I can! Are you prepared to bow before my power, and before my master Kite?" They looked at the boy, as Astral stepped back. "This is... fear." Astral said out loud. "If Elize doesn't win this then me, and those four will be destroyed."
