Chapter 9- Reunion of Past and Present (Part 2)

The Fight that cannot be Lost

Ms. Joan looked on with interest; she noted the crowd noises and completely ignored them. She was now concentrating solely on the girls in front of her.

The one that gained the upper hand took her attention in particular and the familiar symbol engraved on her shoulder. Her face grew serious and she quickly stood up in a hurry and left for the isle without delay. The only one to notice was Vega, but he really didn't care.

Hayley LP: 1250

Niobe/Kasumi LP: 1000

"DIAMOND, DIAMOND, DIAMOND…" the roar of the crowd grew louder and louder, but it didn't erupt. It just keeps a steady beat. The anxiety evident, they were waiting for Kasumi to make the inevitable move.

"By discarding this card from my hand, I will send back your dragon" stated Kasumi plainly as she put placed a frozen dinosaur card into the graveyard. The crystal blue dragon roared and a rush of cold wind started to emerge.

Hayley stood there and watched in horror as her strongest monster was blasted away with the rush of wind. The dragon froze solid, and then disappeared all together. This left her field completely empty.

"Now Medium of the Ice Barrier, direct attack!" The teal haired woman started to chant, around her crystals began to form. The crystal became jagged, and became projectiles towards the brown haired duelist.

The girl smiled then took a card from her hand and sent it to the graveyard. A small sliver fur ball with the face of a cat appeared before her and took the hit. The crystals shredded it and it exploded.

Gasps and groans could be heard by the blue crowd, while the red one started to cheer now. Kasumi looked on in shock, confused about what just happened. Hayley giggled a bit and answered her "The special ability of my Chibi Kuri Cub is during the battle phase, discard it to my graveyard to special summon any Kuri Cub monster from my deck."

"Kuri Cub special ability reduces all battle damage I receive to zero when it goes to the graveyard as a result of battle." The reds cheered again but this got a disgruntled looked from Kasumi as she played two face downs.

Vega looked on with one eye opened and said "She saved herself, what will happened next?" His disinterested voice betrayed his face, which was full of anticipation. Zeo looked on in worry, realizing that this was still not good for Hayley.

Hayley LP: 1250

Niobe/Kasumi LP: 1000

After drawing her next card, Hayley quickly summoned the card. A polar bear cub on ice (3/1100/1500) appeared and yawned, next to it appeared Wild Rabbit Cub.

Hayley LP: 750

Niobe/Kasumi LP: 1000

"I'll tune my level 3 Ice Cub to my level 5 Wild Rabbit Cub." The polar bear turned into light and started to surround the transparent rabbit. After the light diminished, a pure white bunny with an icicle like symbol appeared. It was bigger than a normal one, and had very fluffy fur that puffed up.

The crowd looked on in shock, and a collective "HOW CUTE!!" Ryuu and Vega looked around in shock about all the heart shaped eyes surrounding them.

This got a few people shocked stares, like Taichi at Hitomi. Even Akito had to look at Juliana with a stunned look, while the quiet Kazu just smirked. Crowler was too busy gloating over his own success to care.

"Synchro Summon Wild Ice Rabbit (8/2700/2400). This cute little guy allows me to destroy all facedown magic/trap cards on the field. And for every on destroyed I draw a card." After Hayley explanation, the ice bunny release an array of blue light that pierced the two face down cards Kasumi had.

Kasumi let out another growl as Hayley drew her two cards. "Attack her Dragon now my Rabbit!" Another blue beam fired from the rabbit and this time connected with the ice dragon with tremendous force. The dragon exploded and the force knocked into Kasumi.

Hayley LP: 750

Niobe/Kasumi LP: 600

A face down card appeared and then "Spell Card, Dian Keto the Cure Master. I now gain 1000 LP and I end my turn."

Hayley LP: 1750

Niobe/Kasumi LP: 600

Kasumi drew her next card, put a monster face down and ended her turn in a instant by switching her monster in defense mode.

The cheering did a complete u-turn as the Hearts started to cheer. "She's making a comeback!' Ziste said excitedly. Hitomi just huffed and turned her head, as Taichi eyes narrowed.

"You better not lose; I'm the only one who going to beat you."

Ryuu looked on the other hand was being held down while yelling "C'mon girl, beat that Heart into the ground! If you can't, then let me do it!" Vega looked to him and went right back to watching the duel.

Zeo face portrayed one of complete worry; he looked over toward to his two dorm mates and sighed. He then noticed something that surprised him. Ms. Joan had vanished, she was no where to be seen. He wondered where she would go but quickly dismissed it.

"I told you, I won't lose to you and I will have you tell me where Zeo is." Hayley drew her next card and activated it "I activate Double Summon, now I can perform two normal summons this turn." I summon these two monsters Wild Eagle Hatchling and Wind Cub.

First appeared a baby eagle appeared with a cracked eggshell on its head (4/1600/1000). The next was a grizzly bear cub surrounded by a breeze (3/1000/800). The amount of monster on the field once again whipped up the Reds into frenzy. Kasumi didn't flinch and didn't seem to worry.

Her face annoyed Hayley and she said "I'm fighting for my friend, who helped me out when I was in trouble. I won't lose to someone like you who fighting for the wrong reasons." Her speech was heard by a few, including a shocked Hitomi and Ziste as well as a smirking Taichi.

"Now, attack her medium my Wild Ice Rabbit!" The rabbit charged up another beam, and it pierced the teal haired woman and the she exploded. The smoke cleared and the only thing in front of Kasumi was a facedown monster "Attack Wild Eagle Hatchling!"

The small bird flew and did a back flip in mid air. It flew with great speed towards the facedown card and cut through it, revealing a blue grizzly bear (4/1400/1000). Then in front of Kasumi was a man wearing a blue veil over his face with a snowflake staff.

"By destroying Mother Grizzly, I can summon Defying Troops of the Ice Barrier (3/1500/800)." stated Kasumi. Hayley cringed at the fact that she couldn't end the duel. She looked on and said "I'll tune my level 3 wind cub to my level 4 Wild Eagle Hatchling!" Once again, the all too familiar light surrounded the small transparent small bird until a huge flash of light revealed a majestic eagle, the symbol of wind on its chest (7/2100/1800).

"I synchro summon Wild Wind Eagle. Now I end my turn" said Hayley. "With my two monsters and Negate Attack facedown, I have everything needed to win."

Kasumi didn't look up but, drew her next card.

"I will not lose to the likes of you; now tell me where my friend is!"

Kasumi still held her head down, seemingly ignoring Hayley's words. She only had two cards in her hand but they were all she needed to win. She looked up and smiled. The smile was completely fake, and it had a hint of sadness. Zeo flinched and put his head down and got up from the dueling arena. He left went through the isle and left.

(Six years ago)

Two children were sitting on a park bench, looking up at the sky.

"You're trying to find your brother?"

"That's right Kuro-chan! He's nice and caring and really cool!"

"Wow, I wish my big bro was like that…"

Don't worry Kuro-chan, I bet he'll be your big brother too if you asked nicely.

"Really"

"Yeah, so will you help me find him?"

"Sure, we're family now aren't we? I'll always be there for you and you'll always be there for me right?!"

"Really Kuro-chan, is that a promise?"

"Of course, and a duelist never goes back on his promises Niobe-chan"

"Thanks Kuro-chan!"

Ryuu was too busy shouting and Vega didn't really care enough to say anything. He got to the stands exit and said "I'm sorry Hayley, Niobe-chan." After that he ran out of the exit, at the same time Kasumi noticed the vacant seat and frowned. "Hide all you want Kuro-chan, you will always be mine" she thought as she turned to her opponent.

"The special ability of my monster allows me to destroy one face-up Water Monster on the field by sacrificing itself. I'll use it to destroy your Wild Ice Rabbit." The veil man charged at the rabbit and grabbed it. Both creatures where covered in ice and then it dissolved. The crowd started a collective "AWWW, POOR BUNNY!"

At the moment, a card from Kasumi's deck exited her duel disk and landed in her hand. "Then I'm allowed to take an Ice Barrier monster from my deck." She added the new card and then glared at Hayley. Her face unflinching and her eyes were full of rage.

This shocked the Wild monster duelist and she took a step back. "Trash, I was going to let you off easy but now I will crush you completely." Kasumi growled with such venom that the first row of kids shivered in fear. The "VII" mark on her shoulder gave off a light glow as the arena began to drop in temperature.

"I activate the spell card Pot of Avarice. I take five monsters (Defying Troops, Medium, Water Reflection, Brionac, and Mother Grizzly) and add them to my deck; I shuffle and draw two cards." After the cards were drawn Kasumi played her next card "Monster Reborn allows me to revive my other Mother Grizzly from my graveyard. Then I summon Feng Shui Master of the Ice Barrier in Attack mode."

The common blue bear appeared and next to it a girl in a blue priest outfit with beads around her waist and arms appeared. A mirror covered her face completely (3/800/1200).

Hayley could see her own breath clearly, and she started to shiver. She looked at her opponent but then gasped at the icy stare that she received. "You don't even know me, how dare you doubt my resolve. For so long I wanted to find the most important people to me and thanks to this power I've find one. And I won't lose him again!"

This got no response from a shivering Hayley, but then she looked on in shock as the girl with the mirror burst into light, surrounding the bear. The light vanished and in the place of the two monsters appeared an ice crystal dragon of immense size. It wings were huge as it stood on its front and hind legs (7/2500/1700).

The worried look on Hayley face did her emotion no justice. She held herself for any amount of warmth she could manage. The glare she received as well as the air were had no such warmth. She looked onto the red-eyed beast and could barely get out "W-w-what is… that…?"

"Gungir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. His special ability allows me to discard two cards from my hand, and destroy an equal amount of cards on the field." Kasumi stated in a murderous tone, as she discarded a monster card and Umiiraka. The dragon let out a primal screech and both her face down and Wild Wind Eagle froze and broke into a million pieces.

Hayley gaped in horror, the girl before her was deadly serious.

"Now trash, disappear before the ultimate creature of the Ice Barrier. DIRECT ATTACK!"

Kasumi turned around as her dragon delivered a powerful gust of icy wind with a flap of its wings. The attack collided with Hayley, sending her flying off the stage.

Hayley LP: 0

Niobe/Kasumi LP: 600

Kasumi walked out of the arena to a series of gasp that and murmuring. You could hear a rushed panic to check out Hayley to see if she was okay. She looked over to Kaiser who was holding his back. She walked past him without saying a word.

Crowler, who was now regretting his decision looked around frantically and asked "Where is Ms. Joan na no ne?"

"Yes master, there seems to be more of them here than originally planned."

"How many have you seen?"

"Only two so far, but there may be more."

"…………………………….

"What do I do about them master?"

"Continue to monitor them, if they make any hostile moves. ELIMINATE THEM."

"Yes, Master."

Connection Cut.

A phone was heard ringing, and the person picked it up. "Hello? Oh my! I will be on my way Chancellor."

A familiar orange haired buxom woman ran towards the arena to her new patient. A blue haired duelist who was watching her from behind a tree thought "This isn't good, not good at all.
