Ladies and Gentlemen… The Return of Isaac!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! nor a majority of the characters in this fic. They are friends of mine!

A lone continent rested in the far corner of Termina. Only a few knew of it's existence. They refered to this place as, "The Forgotten Continent". On the beach of this continent, the tides would always wash ashore things from across the ocean, whether its sea shells, goods that were lost from transport ships due to pirate attacks, or, or seaweed, it would always end up on the shore. On this particular day, an actual person was washed onto the bay. Isaac laid face down in the sand, unconscience.

A few hours later, he finally came to. He picked himself up off the ground and tried to walk. He had no idea where he was going. All he knew was, he had some place to be. It was hard for him to walk. He felt dizzy, body still full of ocean water, and seaweed all over him. He coughed and gagged out water and seaweed. He eventually made it to a dirt road, where he finally collapsed in the middle.

Carta Vista… the hometown of Isaac and his friends. This was also the home of one of the many Duel Academy schools own all over the world by the Kaiba Corporation. Isaac slept under a tree, when suddenly, a nut fell out and hit him on the head.

"Ow!" Isaac said as he jumped up.

"Well, well, well… look who decided to wake up!" Sakura said.

Sakura, Damian, and T.K. all sat around having lunch and books opened in front of them. The four of them were dressed in their Slifer Red uniforms.

"Hey… whats going on?" Isaac said.

"Were you up late dueling again?" T.K. asked.

"Um… I think so…" Isaac muttered.

"Yeah… don't you know after lunch we have that big test that will determine our standings in the Duel Academy?" Damian said.

"Oh… crap…" Isaac said.

"Duh… that's why were all studying outside…"

Suddenly, students from Obelisk Blue and Exodia Brown walked up to them.

"Oh god, not again…" Damian said.

"Just ignore them… maybe they'll go away." Sakura said.

"Hey, you Slifers ready for your test?" Exodia student said.

"Would we be sitting out here cramming for it if we were?" Isaac said sarcastically.

"Calm down, man… unlike the other upperclassmen, we remember that we were Slifers once!" The Obelisk student said.

"OOHH… hey, they're legit!" Damian said.

"Don't worry guys. They just make a big deal out of it to scare you. They'll just ask you basic questions, and some trick ones… like one is how many sacrifices do you need to summon Gate Guardian?" the Exodia student said.

"Whoa… that is a trick question… its 3, but they have to be Sanga of the Thunder, Kazejin, and Suijin!" Isaac said.


"Good stuff! See, you guys'll make it to Ra Yellow!" The Obelisk student said.

"Well hey, we gotta bounce. Good luck!" The Exodia student said as they both walked away.

"THANKS!" Isaac, Damian, Sakura, and T.K. said.

"Hear that? We don't have to worry as long as we know our stuff… back to sleep for me…" Isaac said.

"Boy, you are SO lazy!" Damian said.

"Hey Isaac, let me burrow that book your reading." Sakura said.

"My Life with the Pharaoh by Yugi Muto? NO WAY! I'm still reading it!" Isaac said as he closed his eyes.

"YOU'VE READ IT TWICE ALREADY!" Sakura said.

"Working… on… number… 3…" Isaac said as he drifted off to sleep.

Issac suddenly opened his eyes. "Wow… that dream brought back a lot of memories… me, Sakura, Damian, and T.K. aced that test! And it was all thanks to those guys from Obelisk and Exodia… Hey! Where am I! And where is everybody!"

Isaac began looking around. He was in a small room, and in a bed.

"Last thing I remembered… we were battling pirates… and the Red Rose got destroyed…and I feel into the ocean! Man… I must be in the afterlife… Hey! Maybe I can meet the Pharaoh!"

Suddenly, a young girl dressed as a french maid walked into the room.

"You're awake!" She said.

A smile shot across Isaac's face. "OH YEAH! I'M IN HEAVEN!"

The girl laughed. "No, you're in the village of Mysidia!"

"Ah… so I'm still on Termina… but how did I get here… last thing I remember, I was fighting for my life in the ocean…" Isaac said.

"A family going to the beach found you lying in the road, so they brought you to the elder's house… which is where you are! Had you have stayed out there any longer, you would have died! Once the family brought you back here, we took all that ocean water and seaweed and fish eggs that you swallowed, then gave you some medicine. You've been resting ever since! The Elder wanted to talk to you when you woke up."

"Ok… I'll thank him for saving me… then I have to get to the Hallowed Land of Ishtar!" Isaac said.

"Um…"

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Okaaaay… Hey, where's my Duel Disk… and my Bronze Ring!" Isaac said as he looked around. "Man! I got jacked while I was unconscience!"

The french maid laughed again. "No you didn't, silly! The Elder has them!"

"Ohhh… ok, ill go talk to him now."

Isaac got up and walked downstairs, where the elder sat with his wife and another male. Isaac recoginized him right off the bat.

"Hey! It's Professor Arthur Hawkins!" He said. He approached the elder.

"Hey… are you the one who took care of me? Thank you so much!" He said.

"You are very welcome, Chosen One." The elder said.

"So you know too, huh?"

"Yes. The waterfalls and the winds bring news from all over the world to our little village." The elder's wife explained.

"So… I take it I'm not on the Seltzer Continent, am I?" Isaac said.

"No… you are on the Forgotten Continent, located at the farthest corner of Termina… in the Village of Mysidia." The other man said.

"Great… just great… those stupid pirates REALLY screwed me over!" Isaac said. "Oh, excuse my language…"

"Not necessarily, Chosen One." The elder said. "You see, you were destined to be brought here."

"Destined? How?" Isaac asked.

"Its been passed down in Mysidia legends that a drastic accident will bring the Chosen One to the forgotten village of Mysidia… where he will take the Trials of Mt. Ordeals to become the True Chosen." The Elder said.

"The… true Chosen? So I have to climb this mountain?" Isaac said.

"Yes… you must face the great beast that lurks up there. If you defeat him, you truly are the Chosen One, and you will be able to claim the Sage's Stone and gain the ability to use magic. Just like the rest of us."

"Wait… you guys can use Magic?"

"Yes… Behold…"

The elder, his wife, and the man began showing off their magic abilities. The elder used Raigeki, the wife used an ice beam, and the man summoned Hinotama.

"WHOA! SO YOUR SAYING I'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT TOO!" Isaac said with a smile.

"Indeed." The Elder responded.

"Ok… I'll take on this task… but I have to hurry… I have to get to Ishtar and…"

"No need to worry, Chosen One. Bakura hasn't even departed for Seltzer, and Damian, Jonouchi, Sasha, Honda, Sakura, T.K., Iami, and Shizuka are entering a race to make it there. You have plenty of time."

"Wow… you really do know a lot! But answer me this… if I complete… no, I take that back… WHEN I complete this task, how will I get to Seltzer? I am NOT going by boat!"

"I will show you the way once you come back."

"Ok, but like I said… NO BOAT! Now… may I have my Duel Disk and Bronze Ring please?"

"Here is your Ring." The Elder handed Isaac his Bronze Ring. "However, you are forbidden to use Duel Monsters on Mt. Ordeals."

"WHAT! THEN HOW AM I SUSPOSED TO BEAT THIS GREAT BEAST AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN IF I CANT USE MY MONSTERS!"

The elder walked towards a closet. He pulled out a box and a sword, then walked over and handed the items to Isaac.

"You must use this… and the garbs are just for a nice touch!" The elder said with a smile.

"A sword? Sweet!" Isaac said.

"In battle, there may come a situation where you get separated from your Duel Disk… then where would you be?" The man, Bruno, said.

"Yeah, I know what you mean… when we fought those Pirates, they had Mirror Force around their ship. We were sitting ducks out there… Ok… I'll go get changed, Then it's on to Mt. Ordeals!" Isaac declared.

"Spoken like the true Chosen One, Isaac!" The Elder said.

Isaac went upstairs to change into his new outfit. He returned 45 minutes later as he put the sword into it's holster.

"Looking good, Isaac!" The Elder's Wife said.

"But… what took so long?" Bruno said.

"Hey, it was hard trying to get into these 17th century clothes!" Isaac laughed.

(Remember the Hero Clothes that Yugi wore on the episodes "Legendary Heroes"? Those are the exact same clothes that Isaac is wearing.)

"Alright Elder… I'm ready!" Isaac said.

"Hold on, Chosen One! There's one last thing." The elder said.

"Huh?" Isaac said.

"BECCA! LEON! COME TO ME!"

Suddenly, two smoke clouds emerged out of nowhere. Once the smoke cleared, two young kids were standing before the others.

"Ta-da!" The girl said.

"Awww yeah! Leon's in the house!" The boy said.

"Um… you might want to TURN AROUND!" The girl said.

The boy was in fact, facing the wrong way. "… Opps…" he said as he turned the right way.

"Anyways… Isaac, these are my young apprentices… my granddaughter, Becca, and her brother, Leon!"

(That's right guys… Rebecca Hawkins and Leon Wilson (From Grand Championship) is in the house! If you know me, you know I hate Rebecca with a passion… so she will be COMPELTELY out of character to make the story more enjoyable.)

"Um… so let me get this straight…" Isaac said. "You want me to climb a dangerous mountain… fight a large monster with only a sword… while babysitting these two little kids?"

"HEY!" Leon said.

"We are NOT little!" Becca said.

"Though they are still apprentices, they are gifted little magic users. This will be your trial, as well as their training session. Please, protect each other." The Elder said.

"Well… I guess I have no choice no matter what decision I make…" Isaac said. "Let's go, Leon… Becca…"

And so, the three left the Elder's house. The Elder, his wife, and Bruno watched as they left the house and into the village.

"Isaac! One final thing!" The Elder called after him. Isaac turned to him. "You must focus your thoughts on your Bronze Ring! Then, and only then will you prove to be the True Chosen One! Your fights on Mt. Ordeals will prove that!"

"Ok! Thank you!" Isaac said. "I wonder what he means by that…"

Everyone in the village used magic, whether it was for practice or for their everyday lives.

Once out of Mysidia, Isaac and his little friends began to walk towards Mt. Ordeals. Becca lead them there. Isaac looked around an noticed that Mysidia was the only village on the small forgotten continent.

"So… are you really from across the ocean?" Leon said.

"Yeah." Isaac responded.

"I think you're a liar. I think that your some kind of reject that cant use magic, so you have to get the Sage's Stone to prove yourself." Leon said back

"You better watch yourself you little punk. I may be the Chosen One, but I will drop a child if I have to!" Isaac said, angrily.

Leon got into a fighting position. "TRY IT AND I'LL FRY YOU!"

Isaac reached for his sword. "DO NOT TEST ME YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

"LEON! STOP IT!" Becca shouted as she turned around. "Leave the reject alone!"

"Hmph! Fine!" Leon said as he continued walking.

"Geez! On the annoying meter, these two make Iami look like a spring chicken!" Isaac muttered to himself.

And so, the unlikely pair continued walking until the finally reached Mt. Ordeals. Mt. Ordeals was a large mountain, but not as big as Mt. Pancit. They walked for hours, constantly being attacked by monsters that lived up there. Isaac made quick use of his sword as he slashed away at anything that attacked them, and occasionally threated Leon and Becca whenever they "offended" him. The kids fought too, occasionally trying to hit Isaac with Raigeki or Hinotama.

The group decided to take a rest at one point. Isaac wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Phew… what a windfall…" He said.

"How much farther to the Sage's Stone, sis? I'm tired of traveling with this loser!" Leon said.

"I don't like this anymore than you do… but the cave is just a little farther." Becca said.

"Yeah, the feeling is mutual, you stupid little crybabies." Isaac said as he reclined against a tree.

"You know what? You're lucky the Elder said protect you, or I would have blasted you a long time ago!" Leon said.

"Uh huh. Before or after I would have de-headed you." Isaac said back.

"DON'T YOU TALK TO MY BROTHER THAT WAY YOU IDIOT!" Becca said.

Isaac finally had enough. "YOU KNOW WHAT! I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR HELP, AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I DON'T NEED IT, SO WHY DON'T THE TWO OF YOU JUST BUZZ OFF! GO GET EATEN BY A SILVER FANG OR SOMETHING!"

Leon and Becca looked at each other, then sat down.

"We cant! My grandfather said we HAVE to stay with you!" Becca pouted.

"Well then shut up and don't friggin say anything to me for the rest of this trip!" Isaac shouted.

"FINE!" Becca and Leon shouted in unison.

Once the break was over, the three continued up Mt. Ordeals. It was quiet. Becca and Leon really didn't talk to Isaac, nor did he talk to them. Finally, the group eventually reached the top. There was a cave there.

"Hey, we've reached the top! The Sage's Stone must be in that cave!" Isaac said.

"Duh!" Becca said.

"You think!" Leon said.

Isaac fought back every urge he had of throwing the twins off the mountain, but instead walked past them and into the cave. The twins followed him inside

(I don't know if you noticed, but don't you all think that Leon and Rebecca look alike? Maybe its just me…)

The cave was a large area that was lighted by torches. At the back, the Sage's stone sat atop a pedestal, with light from the sun shining inside.

"There it is! If I get that stone, I can use magic! Then I'll REALLY take it to Bakura next time we meet!" Isaac said.

"Who's Bakura? Another one of your loser friends?" Leon said.

"I Thought I told you not to say anything to me, chump!" Isaac said.

Becca tried to fight back in defense of her brother, but Isaac stopped her.

"One word out of you and I'll drop you where you stand!" Isaac said. He then moved forward, with the two of them following him.

Suddenly, a little boy came out of nowhere and began running around the with his arms straight out, making airplane noises. He stopped in front of Isaac, Leon, and Becca.

"I'M THE WIND! WHOOOOOOSH!" he said. Then he started running around again.

"Okaaaaaay…" Isaac said. he continued to walk toward the stone.

"STOOOOP!"

The little boy ran forward and jumped over Isaac, Leon, and Becca, then landed in front of the steps leading to the pedestal.

"Are you hear for the Sage's Stone?" he asked.

"Yes I am." Isaac responded.

"I thought so… hold on a sec, ok?" The boy said. He turned towards the Pedestal. "OH BIG BROOOOOOOTHER! WHERE ARE YOU, BERFOMET!"

Another child came out from behind the pedestal. Isaac, Leon, and Becca looked at one another.

"WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE DAMN KIDS?" Isaac shouted.

"What is it, Gazelle?" Berfomet asked. He took a look at Isaac and the twins.

"OH NO! NOT AGAIN!" He shouted as he slapped his forehead. He jumped from the pedestal and landed next to his brother.

"So, you want to get a name for yourself by grabbing the Sage's Stone? What a buffoon!" Berfomet said.

"Yeah! It's how you USE the stone that's important! Not who owns it!" Gazelle said.

"You cant even understand anything as simple as that! That's why you're HUMANS!" Berfomet said.

"HEY!" Leon shouted.

"WATCH IT, PAL!" Becca shouted.

"Well, what should we do with them, bro?" Gazelle said to his brother.

"You know, the usual… we can play with them! It's been a while since we had someone else to play with!" Berfomet said as he nodded.

Gazelle turned towards Isaac and the twins. "You hear that? You get to entertain us for a while!"

"LETS DO THIS!"

"YEAH!"

The two boys began to spin around, faster and faster. Isaac took a step back. "What the deuce is going on!"

The boys turned into their real forms, Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts, and Berfomet!

The Duel monsters immediately attacked! Isaac shoved both Leon and Becca forward and to the ground, then he quickly dove out of the way.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" Leon shouted.

"I was TRYING to save you!" Isaac shouted back.

"WE DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR HELP!" Leon shouted.

"YEAH! YOU CAN BEAT THESE THINGS BY YOURSELF!" Becca said.

"FINE!" Isaac shouted.

Berfomet and Gazelle flipped a U-turn, then charged at Isaac. Isaac, pulled out his Legendary Sword and got into an attacking position…

Meanwhile… on the other side of the world…

The Excess Express chugged along the railway on route to Ishtar. Sasha and Iami watched the scenery that went by. Jonouchi slept on one of the beds. Damian and Sakura came into the room.

"It's gonna be another two days til we get to Ishtar." Damian reported.

"That's good… I mean, I'm really enjoying this train! I got SO many new cards at the gift shop!" Iami said.

"Me too! Now my deck is a little stronger!" Sasha said.

"Haha! Damian and I bought out ALL the booster packs!" Sakura laughed.

"Yeah! Our money is worth SO much here! I bought like 3 boxes of booster packs for like a dollar fifty!" Damian laughed.

Suddenly, there was an announcement on the loud speakers.

"Attention all passengers on the Excess Express… the Dining Car is now open! I repeat, the Dining Car is now open! We once again thank you for riding the Excess Express! We realize you have your choices in train travel, and were glad you chose us! Thank you!"

Jonouchi suddenly sprung awake and took off running out of the room and down the hall. He shoved any person in his way fiercely aside.

"Hey! If he gets to the dining car first, there will be no food left for the rest of us!" Iami shouted.

"AFTER HIM!" Sasha shouted.

Sakura, Damian, Iami, and Sasha tore out of the room and desparately tried to catch up to Jonouchi, pushing down all the people that he previously shoved down, who tried to get back up.

Back on Mt. Ordeals…

Isaac struggled to take down the two monsters. He got a couple good slashed in, but the teamwork of the monsters were too much for Isaac to handle on his own. Becca and Leon sat on a rock, watching the whole thing.

"Hey… maybe we ought help him." Becca said.

"Psh! What for! He's an idiot and I don't like him." Leon said.

"Because if we don't, and he dies, Gramps will kill us!" Becca said.

"Your right…" Leon sighed. "Come on… lets help him…"

The twins jumped up and ran towards Isaac. They stood in front of him and got into an attacking position. The monsters both dove down towards them.

"READY?" Leon said.

"YEAH!" Becca said back

"RAIGEKI!"

"HINOTAMA!"

Thunderbolts and fireballs rained down, striking Berfomet and Gazelle. Isaac quickly jumped to his feet, ran over, and began slashing away at Gazelle.

"Hey…" Leon began to shudder. "… chosen one…"

Isaac turned to him. "Go after Gazelle!"

Becca began to cast a spell. "SHEILD AND SWORD!" A ray of light hit Gazelle, weakening him.

Isaac ran over, and gave a mighty slash to Gazelle. The monster let out a huge roar, then dropped to the ground. Apart, Gazelle and Berfomet were powerless.

"We did it!" Leon cheered as he jumped around.

"I knew we could do it!" Becca said.

"You… did good… I guess…" Leon said as he and Becca walked towards Isaac. Isaac however, wasn't ready to celebrate just yet.

"That… was too easy." He said.

"Yeah, I know!" Becca said.

"WE RULE!" Leon said.

Gazelle suddenly got up, and walked next to Berfomet.

"Impressive!" Berfomet said.

"Yeah…only that guy… Bakura made it this far!" Gazelle said.

This sent a cold chill down Isaac's spine. "B-Bakura! He was here!" he shouted.

"Ok brother, now its time we get serious!" Berfomet said. The monsters turned to Isaac, Leon, and Becca.

"THIS IS IT!" Berfomet said.

"YEAH, THIS TIME, WE MEAN BUSINESS!" Gazelle shouted.

The two monster took a couple steps to the side, then ran and jumped at each other! Once they collided, a bright light filled the cave, blinding the three fighters.

"AAHH!" Isaac shouted as he covered his eyes.

With Berfomet's bravery and Gazelle's knowledge, two became one! Once the light vanished, Chimera, the Flying Mythical Beast stood tall, staring down Isaac, Leon, and Becca. It let out a loud roar that rocked the whole cave.

Leon and Becca were frozen with fear. They both ran behind Isaac.

"What's wrong with you two?" Isaac shouted as he turned around.

"W-WE'RE SCARED!" Becca said.

"YEAH! WERE ONLY APPRENTICES! WE CANT TAKE ON SOMETHING THAT BIG!" Leon said. Both twins had tears in their eyes.

"Hey, I know that thing is big, but if we work together, we can take it down!" Isaac said.

"NO!" Becca said.

"IF YOU WANNA DIE, THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS, BUT WE CANT BEAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" Leon said.

"With that attitude, you wont! If you guys don't want to fight, hide somewhere! But I've got places I need to be, and I'm not gonna let some overgrown, two head half lion freak stand in my way!" Isaac shouted.

He then took off running towards Chimera, with his sword in his hand. He let out a 8-hit combo as he swung with all his might, hitting Chimera dead on. Chimera quickly turned around and slapped Isaac with his tail, sending him flying into a wall. Isaac got up and held his right arm. He picked up his sword, and went back to his hack and slash technique. This time, Chimera bit Isaac on his leg! Isaac dropped to the ground in pain and let out a gruesome yell. Blood was surging from the bite.

"OH NO!" Becca said. "He's … hurt!"

Leon watched in horror.

Isaac got up and limped away. He ripped a piece of cloth from his shirt, then grabbed a stick and tied it around his leg. Then he limped a little faster towards Chimera, then angrily slashed away again.

"STUPID MONSTER! BITE ME, WILL YOU!"

This time, the head of Berfomet grabbed Isaac by his torso, swung him around, then spit him out against the wall again! Isaac hit it hard and hit the ground. Isaac breathed heavily… he was taking a serious beating! He struggled to get back to his feet, then picked up his sword again, then held his stomach with his left arm and his sword with his right arm, then limped over towards Chimera.

"I… I… I cant… let you… beat… me… too many… people… are counting… on… me…" Isaac said. Images of Pegasus, His friends, and his parents filled his head.

Leon got up. "He's getting mauled in there! He knows he's out matched, but he still fights! He IS the Chosen One! And if he can be brave like that, then so can I!"

"I'm really scared, but I don't want him to die! I really don't!" Becca said.

The twins nodded, then ran over towards Isaac. Becca stopped him, then pointed her arms at him.

"GIFT OF THE MYSTICAL ELF!"

A soothing ray of light shined on Isaac, and his wounds and pain were lifted form his body.

"Thank you…" Isaac said. Becca smiled at him.

"STAY BACK!" Leon shouted at Chimera. "RAIGEKI!"

Thunderbolts rained down, striking Chimera. It once again let out a loud roar.

Leon ran back to Isaac. "Ok… got any ideas, Chosen One?" he asked.

"I got one… can you guys do combination attacks?" Isaac asked.

"No, Grandpa hasn't taught us that yet." Becca responded.

"Well, I may not know magic, but I know that as long as you guys are in sync, you can pull off a combo attack. I do it all the time when I'm in a double duel with my friends Damian, Sakura, and T.K.! Use a code word, then, cast an attacking spell on Chimera! Once he's stunned, I'll run in and attack him! Got it!" Isaac said.

Becca and Leon smiled and nodded.

"Cool! Let's do it to it!" Isaac smiled.

Chimera was already up, but it looked as if he was charging energy. It looked at Isaac, Leon, and Becca, then let out a devastating attack! The impact shot the three into a wall! They were all weakened.

Isaac got up, then helped up his young friends.

"Are you two alright?" Isaac asked.

"Yeah… I think… that hurt!" Leon said.

"That's the spirit! One thing I learned at the Duel Academy, Never let your enemies see you sweat! This is no different!" Isaac said. "Ok! Lets attack!"

"Ready sis?" Leon said.

"YES!" Becca said back

"PEPPER POT!" Leon shouted.

"PICKLE POT!" Becca shouted.

"PURPLE POT! RAIGEKI!"

The combined magic attack of Leon and Becca rained down and struck Chimera! It shouted, then dropped to the ground. Isaac ran at the large beast and began to slash away at him. Chimera got up and roared from all the damage it received.

The large beast took flight, then prepared for another attack. Isaac then remembered what the elder said…

You must focus your thoughts on your Bronze Ring! Then, and only then will you prove to be the True Chosen One!

"I hope this works! LEON! BECCA! GET CLOSE!" Isaac shouted. The twins ran towards him, then grabbed him. Isaac closed his eyes, and his Bronze Ring began to flash. A shield surrounded them just as Chimera fired an attack. Once it hit the shield, the attack was reflected off and hit Chimera dead on! The large beast dropped to the ground. The Shield disappeared, and Isaac ran towards the fallen beast. He let out a large 10 hit combo, then jumped on top of the beast. He then held up his sword, and brought it down, HARD, jamming it all the way in Chimera's back. He turned to the twins.

"THIS IS IT! GIVE EM THE FINISHING BLOW!" Isaac shouted.

Leon and Becca focused all their attention on Isaac's sword.

"RAIGEKI! LEVEL 2!"

A large group of thunderbolts rained down and hit the sword. Isaac jumped off Chimera and took cover. Chimera let out a large roar that shook the cave worse than the first time! Chimera laided lifeless. Isaac and his friends won!

"We… we did it! WE DID IT!" Isaac shouted.

"YAY!" Becca cheered.

"WHOOO! WE KICKED RUMP!" Leon shouted.

"SOMEONE BUST OUT THE PLATES! CUZ YOU GOT SERVED!" Isaac shouted at the fallen Chimera.

Leon and Becca ran towards Isaac and jumped on him. Isaac dropped to the ground and hugged his new friends.

"WE DID IT, ISAAC!" Becca said happily.

"YEAH! AND ITS ALL THANKS TO YOU! YOU TAUGHT US TO BELIEVE IN OUR ABILITIES, AND YOU TAUGHT US HOW TO USE COMBINATION ATTACKS! FROM NOW ON, YOUR OUR BIG BROTHER!" Leon said happily.

"YAY! WE'VE GOT A BIG BROTHER NOW!" Becca cheered.

"Oh boy… as if Iami wasn't bad enough… but hey, she'll be glad that she finally has a sister!" Isaac said happily.

Suddenly, Chimera began to light up. It then split back into two and took on the form as the two little boys.

They stood up and looked at each other.

"They… They beat us, Big Bro…" Gazelle said.

"Yeah… That was fun though!" Berfomet said. "You guys make a great team!"

"Yeah! We wouldn't mind fighting you guys again sometime!" Gazelle said.

"Hey, you guys were strong too!" Isaac said. "That one attack you used… I'm surprised I can still walk after that!"

Isaac and the kids laughed.

"Well, you truly are the Chosen One… Now… claim your prize… The Sage's Stone!" Berfomet said. Isaac nodded, then walked up the pedestal.

Once there, he picked up the Sage's Stone. The Bronze Ring began to flash, reacting the stone. A gold light surrounded Isaac. It stayed there for a minute, then faded away. Isaac put the stone back on the pedestal, then walked down the stairs.

"Hey, aren't you taking the stone, bro?" Leon asked.

Isaac smiled, then held out his hand. "RAIGEKI!" He shouted. A thunderbolt rained down and hit the ground.

"ICE RAY!" Isaac shouted. He aimed his hand at a wall and fired a ray of ice at it.

"HINOTAMA!" he shouted as he pointed his hand upwards. Fireballs rained down and struck the ground. Then he pointed his hands at Leon and Becca.

"GIFT OF THE MYSTICAL ELF!"

He then healed the twins.

"I don't need the stone. All it does is infuse the one who holds it with magic, so taking it with me would be pointless." Isaac said.

"See! Now you understand what we said earlier!" Gazelle said as he smiled.

"Yeah… It's how you USE the stone that's important, not who OWNS it!" Isaac said back. "Ok guys… lets get back to Mysidia."

Leon and Becca smiled and nodded.

"Allow us!" Befomet said. "Well ride the wind to the bottom of the mountain!"

"Good luck to you!" Gazelle said. A hole in the ceiling of the cave opened and a gust of wind was felt coming from it. Isaac stepped into the wind and was shot upwards like a cannon. Leon went next, followed by Becca. Before they knew it, the three were at the bottom of the mountain. They began their walk back to Mysidia.

"Oh… by the way…" Leon said. "About those things I said earlier… that you were a loser and a reject… I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of it."

"Me too…" Becca said sadly.

"Hey, its ok. Were friends now! All is forgiven!" Isaac said.

"NO!" Leon said. "Were Brothers!" He said with a smile.

"And sister!" Becca added.

"Haha! Right! Oh, and I also apologize… about calling you two crybabies and brats."

Later that night…

Isaac told The Elder, his wife, and Bruno all about their adventure on Mt. Ordeals. Becca and Leon sat in the kitchen eating a bowls of ice cream. Isaac then showed them his new found magic abilites.

"Excellent job Chosen One! Not only did you pass the Trials of Mt. Ordeals, but you learned how to use your Bronze Item!" The Elder said.

"Yeah! Now I'll just practice so I'm strong enough to battle Bakura!" Isaac said.

"Oh, by the way…" Bruno said. "Here's this back."

He handed Isaac his Duel Disk and all his cards. "Sweet! Thanks Bruno!" He put on his Duel Disk and put his cards back in its holder.

"You know Chosen One, should you ever get separated from your Duel Disk, you can use your Bronze Ring to bring the monsters to life. Its just like the Life Cards." The Elder said.

"That's SO cool!" Isaac said.

"But you know… I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for those two!" Isaac said as he looked at Leon and Becca pigging out on their ice cream. The two of them looked up at Isaac and waved happily, then went back to eating.

"Yeah! And to think, we started out as spies!" Leon said. "OPPS!"

"LEON! YOU WERENT SUSPOSED TO TELL HIM THAT!" Becca shouted as she slapped her brother upside his head.

"WHAT!" Isaac said.

"Forgive me, Chosen One… but a day ago, I told Leon and Becca that I would be sending them with you to scale Mt. Ordeals… I needed proof that you were really the Chosen One, so I sent these two to keep an eye on you." He said.

"Yeah! It's all the Elder's fault! Blame him! I didn't want to do that in the first place!" Leon said.

"Were sorry… we can understand if you don't like us anymore…" Becca said.

Isaac laughed. "Haha! No, its cool! As you can see, I'm the real deal!"

Isaac turned back to the Elder. "Well hey Elder, I know it's late, but I should REALLY be getting to Ishtar…"

"Don't worry Chosen One. Ishtar is still safe and sound… why not eat and rest up. You can leave first thing tomorrow morning." The elder's wife said.

"Ok… sure! I am hungry!" Isaac said. He ran over to Becca and Leon.

"Did you two eat all the ice cream!" he laughed.

The next morning…

The Elder and his Wife lead Isaac to an small, pod like underwater vehicle that fit three people. It was located in a large pool at the back of Mysidia. Leon and Becca went to see him off.

"Deep under Mysidia, theres an underwater tunnel that'll lead you straight to the Seltzer Continent. Granted it wont take you to Ishtar, but it should be close enough." The Elder said.

"I told you I don't want to go ANYWHERE by water!" Isaac said. "If you can recall, I almost died!"

The Elder put his hands on Isaac's head.

"What are you doing!" Isaac said.

Suddenly, a glow surrounded Isaac. "There!" The elder said. "I've temporarily lifted your fear of water from you. But it'll come back in time. You'll have to conquer that fear by yourself."

"Hey… your right! I actually feel like going swimming! Thanks for everything Elder! You too ma'am!" Isaac said. The elder and his wife smiled. Isaac turned to Leon and Becca.

"And thank you guys too. Once this whole thing is over, I'll come back to visit you. Hopefully you'll be stronger magic users!"

Leon and Becca looked at him with tears in their eyes. The then ran grabbed him and looked at the elder.

"Leon! Becca! Unhand the Chosen One!" The Elder said. "Return to your studies!"

"… NO!" Leon said, with tears running down his cheeks.

"Uh-oh! It looks like Leon and Becca have taken a liking to you, Chosen One!" The Elder's Wife laughed.

"I SAID UNHAND HIM!" The Elder shouted.

"Hey… Elder… let me take them with me… Traveling with me may make them better magic users… plus I could use them to teach me how to use my magic as well! Don't worry! I'll make sure nothing happens to them." Isaac said.

"I don't know… saving the world isn't a game…" The elder said.

"Oh dear! Let them go with the Chosen One! He did say the twins helped him a lot on Mt. Ordeals!" The Elder's Wife said.

The Elder put his hands behind his back. "Very well… Leon… Becca… you may accompany the Chosen One on his quest!"

Becca began jumping up and down, clapping, with a huge smile on her face.

"YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHH, BABY!" Leon shouted.

"Ok guys! Let's roll!" Isaac said. He opened the pod, then jumped into the driver's seat. Leon and Becca got in the seats behind him, then the top of the pod closed.

"Chosen One! Becca! Leon! We wish you all the luck in the world!" The Elder said. He and his wife waved as the pod began it's decent under water. Isaac, Leon, and Becca waved back as the pod disappeared under the pool. Isaac drove towards the tunnel, and soon, He once again began his journey to the Seltzer Continent!

"This is gonna be fun!" Becca said.

"Let's get some tunes in here!" Leon said.

"AH! NO RADIO!" Isaac shouted.

"Well this is gonna be a long trip… lets play I Spy!" Becca said.

And so, Isaac survived one near death experience after another. He's now on his way to the Seltzer Continent to catch up to his friends in Ishtar! But what surprise lie in store for Isaac and his new friends Leon and Becca? Find out next time on Duel Monster Frontier!
