Aki: I wonder where Coral is. It's not like her to not be here. Well, better for her not to be here. After all that happened, I'd like some space. *Notices letter* What's this?
Letter: Convincing my dad to see he was wrong about everything. You're in charge.
Aki: How am I not surprise? And she's suppose to be the younger one.

It was the day before the holidays. Students were packing up to go home for the holidays. Some didn't bother packing, for they would stay on the island with Daitokuji.
In one usual area, a certain psychic duelist of Obelisk was practicing her new Dueling Style. With her was a certain male Ra, helping her with her moments, along with their Duel Monster spirits.
"I hope you know, as much as I like to say you're really good at doing entertainments on the ground level, you have to do aerial entertainment eventually," Alex said.
"Yeah yeah, I know," Bella said. "Man you sound like Kohaku."
"Hey, you should be glad that she's on a call with her parents and, after that, have to help the teachers with some stuff," Sakura pointed out
"True. Her training methods were killing me. I think I'm going to die way early if this keeps up."
"Don't let Kohaku hear that. You know how she is when she was trying to get Judai and Shou to top shape for the Tag Duel. Or did we not tell you?"
"I heard what happened. And she's suppose to be an Entertainment Duelist, not Enter-Terror Duelist."
A slight wind blew at that pun.
"That wasn't suppose to be a pun, was it?" Alex asked.
"Not that good huh?" Bella asked back.
"Just... Don't do that again," came a deep voice.
Along with Alex, Bella and Bella's ninjas were Alex's Dragon-Type monsters. After that duel when Alex created Twilight Dragon, he also began to see Duel Monster Spirits. This in turn, allowed his monsters, mainly the Dragon-Types, to have spirits of their own.
"Got it," Bella replied.
And so, the two would carry on another hour with the Entertainment Training. When the hour was up, the two took a break, even though one didn't really do anything.
"You know, I still can't believe it," the Obelisk spoke.
"Can't believe what?" the Ra asked.
"You and Kohaku wouldn't accept either of those duels between the two of you as a win or a lose."
"Hey, for the two of us, a win is a win if we take out our ace monsters and/or reduced our Life Points to zero, not by deck out!"
Yes, ever since Alex gained his new card, the duels between him and Kohaku ended up as deck out duels. Neither one can reduce the other's Life to zero or take out the ace of each other's deck.
"And the two of you keep saying you're not a couple~" Bella dared to tease.
"We're not a couple! We're just good friends and great rivals!" Alex corrected.
"You two keep telling yourselves that~"
"We are! Why do you, Asuka, Shou, the Reds, Yellows, some Blues, and even the teachers assume that we're a couple?!"
"The way you're acting around each other makes it hard to believe that you aren't. In fact you both act like-" Before she could say anymore, Bella felt a vice-grip on her shoulder, cutting her off.
"I dare you to finish that sentence," Alex dared with a scary, evil look on his face.
"OW OW OW! I didn't mean that at all! I swear!" To her relief, Alex released her shoulder. "That hurts..."
"Blame yourself for making weird assumptions."
"Yes... I'm sorry..."
'But it is true,' she mentally added.
"You know, I still can't believe it either," Alex spoke.
"With what?"
"That I could see Duel Monster Spirits."
"Well, it's not much of a surprise," Lightpulsar said.
"You had the ability within you, but you weren't able to awaken it," Dark Armed explained.
"Then how did I awaken the ability?" the Ra asked.
"You have Bella to thank," Light and Darkness said.
The Obelisk's eyes widened. "Me?"
"Yes. You see, if Alex dueled a pure psychic duelist, and gets hit by a monster attack declared by that duelist, it will awaken his powers."
"But I didn't declare a direct attack on him in our duel that time."
"No, but Kurama's beam was close to hitting him. And that was enough to slowly awaken the ability within him."
"Putting it that way, it's true. I've been hearing voices since that duel. So thanks," Alex admitted.
"Oh? Then, you're welcome," Bella replied.
"Well well well. What do we have here?" came a cocky voice. They both looked and saw two of Manjoume's former friends looking down at them. "If it isn't the Reject and the monster. How big a surprise to see the two of the many people we despise in one place," Taiyou said in sarcasm.
"Yeah. And not only that, but they are also the two that everyone in Obelisk despise more than anything," Raizou added.
"Hey, what did we do to deserve that?" Alex asked.
"What else? You have cards that shouldn't be in your hands in the first place. Dark Armed Dragon, Lightray Diabolos, Light and Darkness Dragon, and the new Twilight Dragon."
"As for that monster, do we really need to answer what she did to deserve being hated? She's a killer; she can materialize duel monsters and inflict real damage to her opponents."
"Didn't you see the Tag Duel? Or that Battle Royal? Bella didn't cause a single damage to her opponent those times!"
"Might've been a fluke. Or because that idiot Ra Reject was there."
"Yeah. After all, she was sister of a monster. Maybe she can cancel out a monster's power. And maybe... she can help all us Obelisk by sending that thing to her doom. Like what happened to her sister."
Those words made Alex and Bella snapped. They may not have met or known Kohaku's twin, but being her friends, how can they not be angry when someone insults a late relative.
"You take that back!" Alex shouted.
"Yeah! Her twin wasn't a monster! I saw a video that had her twin in it, and a lot of people loved her when they realized that she wasn't what they thought she was!" Bella supported.
"Are you sure it's not because the idiot Ra Reject wasn't there? Or it was the said idiot herself," Raizou continued to insult.
"Insult her one more time. I dare you," the Light and Darkness duelist threatened.
"Who? The dead monster or fool of a duelist?" Taiyou mocked, causing him and Raizou to laugh.
"That's it! We're dueling!" he declared, already activating his duel disk.
"I'm with you!" Bella activated her duel disk.
"Just what we wanted." The two Obelisks activated their own disks.
"Let's make this an Ante-Rule. Loser has to give up their precious deck," Raizou added.
Alex and Bella gasped in shock.
"You can't do that!" the female shouted. "It's against the rules! Hence the name Ante-Rule!"
"Too bad. The moment you activated your duel disk, you already agreed to the conditions," Taiyou said.
"In that case, you better not cry when we win!" Alex declared. They drew their starting hand.
"DUEL!"
Bella and Alex: 8000 LP
Taiyou and Raizou: 8000 LP
"I'll start first! Draw!" Taiyou drew his sixth card. "From my hand I activate the Field Magic, Zombie World!" The arena became a purple, swampy wasteland. "Next, I activate the Continuous Magic, Call of the Mummy! Once per turn, if I control no monsters, I can Special Summon a Zombie-Type monster from my hand! I Special Summon Ryu Kokki in Attack Mode!" A skull armored monster emerged from the ground.
Ryu Kokki: Level 6/DARK/Zombie/2400 ATK/2000 DEF
"I activate Skull Conductor's monster effect from my hand! By sending this card to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon up to two Zombie-type monsters from my hand with a total ATK of 2000! I Special Summon Patrician of Darkness!" A vortex of darkness appeared and a blue vampire emerged from it.
Patrician of Darkness: Level 5/DARK/Zombie/2000 ATK/1400 DEF
"I set one monster face-down and end my turn."
"I'm next. Draw!" Bella drew her next card. "I summon Konohagakure Shinobi Team 8, Kiba in Attack Mode!" A boy with red marks on each side of his cheek appeared.
Konohagakure Shinobi Team 8, Kiba: Level 4/EARTH/Warrior/1800 ATK/500 DEF
"Zombie World's effect! All monsters on the field becomes a Zombie-Type!" Taiyou shouted. This surprised Bella and Alex, as Kiba became nothing but bones in ninja clothes.
Konohagakure Shinobi Team 8, Kiba: Warrior -} Zombie
"Kiba!" Bella called in shock and horror.
"I'm... Okay... Don't... worry..." the ninja assured.
"... Okay... I activate Konohagakure Shinobi Team 8, Akamaru's effect from my hand! If Kiba is on the field, I can equip this card to him as an Equip Magic! Come, Akamaru!" A white puppy appeared and stood by the undead ninja's side.
Konohagakure Shinobi Team 8, Akamaru: Level 2/EARTH/Beast/500 ATK/700 DEF
"Akamaru's equip effect! The equipped monster gains 1000 ATK!"
Konohagakure Shinobi Team 8, Kiba: 1800 + 1000 = 2800 ATK
"That's a huge increase!" Raizou said in shock.
"I set one card face-down and end my turn!"
"My turn! Draw!" Raizou drew his next card. "I summon D.D. Survivor!" A worn man in brown cloak appeared on his field. "And because of Zombie World's effect, D.D. Survivor is now a Zombie-type!"
D.D. Survivor: Level 4/DARK/Warrior -} Zombie/1800 ATK/200 DEF
"Next I activate Gold Sarcophagus! With this card, I can banish one card from my deck face-up, then on my second Stand By Phase, that card is added to my hand! I banish D.D. Scout Plane! I set two cards face-down and end my turn! And during my End Phase, Scout Plane's monster effect activates! If this card is removed from play, it is Special Summoned in Attack Mode!" A portal opened up and a metallic eye appeared.
D.D. Scout Plane: Level 2/DARK/Machine -} Zombie/800 ATK/1200 DEF
"To think you can just easily Special Summon a monster that way... My turn! Draw!" Alex drew his next card. "I summon a monster in Defense Mode! I set two cards face-down and end my turn!"
"Now that we all took our first turn, it's time to deal some pain! My turn! Draw!" Taiyou drew his next card. "Well, this is quite a surprise. I Flip Summon Spirit Reaper!" Taiyou's face-down was repeated to be a purple cloaked Grim Reaper.
Spirit Reaper: Level 3/DARK/Zombie/300 ATK/200 DEF
"And now that I have more than 2 face-up Zombie-Type monsters, I can Special Summon this card from my hand! Come out, Kasha!" A demon card of some kind with flaming wheels, two green arms on top and a green demon's face and chest on the front appeared.
Kasha: Level 8/EARTH/Zombie/? ATK/1000 DEF
"Unknown ATK?" Alex asked.
"Something must be up," Bella said.
"When Special Summoned this way, Kasha returns all other monsters on the field into the deck! Demon Transportation!" The cart's side door suddenly opened and forcefully got all the monsters, including its own allies, in it, returning them to their respective owner's deck. "And for each Zombie-Type monster returned this way, Kasha's ATK is equal to that amount times 1000!"
"What?!" Bella and Alex gasped, as the demon cart became more demonic.
Kasha: ? -} 1000 x 6 = 6000 ATK
"Trap Card open! Trap Stun!" Raizou followed. "This turn, all Trap Cards' effects are negated!" The set cards on Alex and Bella's field suddenly all had sparks on them, making them unusable.
"Just great," Alex muttered.
"Just what we needed. And on the second turn too," Bella followed.
"And now battle! Kasha! Attack those who don't belong here! Starting with the monster!" Taiyou ordered. His monster charged towards them at full speed, mainly at Bella.
"I won't let that happen!" her partner shouted. "From my hand I activate Freakstar Dragon's monster effect!" The three other duelists gasped in shock at the counter. "When a direct attack is declared, I can Special Summon this card in Defense Mode to negate the attack!" A black dragon big enough for one person to ride on with white wings suddenly appeared and took Bella out of the way of the attack. The dragon was, strangely enough, in a silly jumpsuit and had a goofy smile on its face, as well as having a yellow star on its right eye. For some reason, it's unaffected by Zombie World's effect.
Freakstar Dragon: Level 4/DARK/Dragon/1500 ATK/2000 DEF
(Freakstar Dragon: Effect Monster: This card is also considered as a LIGHT attribute monster while on the field, Graveyard or Banished Zone. When your opponent declares a direct attack that would inflict 2000 or more damage to your Life Points, you may Special Summon this card in Defense Mode and negate the attack. This card's Monster-Type cannot be changed. If this card is used as a Fusion Material to Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster, banish one card from your deck face-up and one card from your Graveyard.)
The dragon let out a weird cackled laugh. "Woohoo! What a nice breeze~!" he spoke in a high-pitch creepy voice.
"SOMEONE LET ME DOOOOOWWWWNNNN!" Bella begged. It was then she realized one little thing. "HOW THE HELL CAN YOU TALK?! I'm not the one who summoned you!"
Freakstar let out another weird cackled laugh. "That's Alex!"
They heard yelling, but it wasn't quite clear. Bella looked down and regretted doing so, for they were high enough to see the whole island.
"I'LL DO ANYTHING JUST LET ME DOWN TO THE GROOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUND!" she once again begged, choking the dragon, not that he minded, strangely.
"But it's so much fun~!" he talked back.
Back down on the island, the three duelists see Bella screaming constantly for her life, all having sweatdrops as they barely see her panicking.
"FREAKSTAR! GET DOWN HERE!" Alex shouted an order. The dragon was still flying around.
"What's going on here?" came a familiar voice. They turned and saw Kohaku walking towards them.
"Hey Kohaku. Well..." The male Ra looked up, having his friend to look up as well, as they saw Freakstar still flying around with Bella clinging onto him.
Kohaku easily caught on to what had happened while she was gone. "Things has to be done," she simply said, summoning out Circus Freak Assistant.
"What are you going to do with him out?"
Kohaku ignored the question and faced Assistant. "You have a loudspeaker on you or something?" Assistant nodded and, retracting his hand in his sleeve, pulled out a loudspeaker and gave it to her. "Thank you." Kohaku looked up with the loudspeaker over her mouth.
Back in the sky, Bella was screaming at the top of her lungs, as she begged Freakstar to put her down. Freakstar, somehow, disregarded the screaming and went about his merry ways in the air.
"JUST LET ME DOWN ALREADYYYYYYY!"
"Aaahh. What a beautiful wind~"
"STOP IGNORING ME!"
"HEEEEYYYY!" came a voice below, one that Bella recognized. "YOU FLYING IN THE AIR ALL HAPPY-GO-LUCKY! COME DOWN HERE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!"
Freakstar, unfortunately for Bella, just flew faster.
"I SAID STOP!" Still ignoring. "STOP YOU STUPID DRAGON!" Ignoring still. "Oh for the-" Seconds later. "CEASE YOUR FLYING OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES FOOOOLLL!" Kohaku shouted, this time with the volume people hundreds of miles away from the island would hear. As such, the volume surprised Freakstar to the point where he started to fall. And since he's falling...
"KOHAKU! IF I DIE I'LL KILL YOUUUUU!"
Down below, the group see the monster and girl falling.
"Shouldn't we... do something?" Taiyou asked, despite hating Bella.
"They'll be fine," Kohaku assured.
"Sure they will," Raizou replied.
The two continued to fall until they felt something soft and stretchy slowing their fall. Bella peeked from her eye lids and saw that they were in a trampoline. Not just any trampoline; Circus Freak Trampoline.
"Oh dear go-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" And up back in the sky they went.
"You do know she will most likely kill you for that, right?" Alex asked Kohaku, as the group were suddenly eating snacks, watching the show.
"True, but she has to overcome her fear anyway," the female Ra reasoned.
*SOME TIME LATER*
Bella was finally free of the crazy free-fall. She was currently on her hands and knees, panting heavily at her horrifying experience.
"So how was your flying lesson?" Kohaku dared to ask with a smile.
"I... am... going... to... kill... you..." she wheezed.
"Oh come on~ You know you really love me~"
Bella, having no energy to say another word, dropped to the ground. She then said something, but it was muffled.
"Care to repeat that?"
"I said I still have a duel to finish anyway..." Bella slowly got up, her legs wobbling. "D-Do you... finish your turn?"
"Huh? Uh... Yeah," Taiyou replied.
"Thank god... My turn. Draw." She drew her next card. "I summon Konohagakure Shinobi Team 7, Naruto in Attack Mode." The blonde ninja boy appeared. Due to Zombie World's effect, he became all bones.
Konohagakure Shinobi Team 7, Naruto: Level 4/WIND/Warrior -} Zombie/1400 ATK/800 DEF
"WHOA! What just happened to me?!" Naruto gasped. He turned and saw Bella looking like she went through hell. "And what... happened to you?"
The female duelist gritted her teeth. "I'd rather not relive that, thank you very much."
The two Blue boys regained their cockiness.
"That weak monster can't even take a wheel off of Kasha!" Raizou mocked.
"And you placed him in Attack Mode? You're less of an Obelisk than we thought!" Taiyou followed.
"I activate my Instant Magic, Tailed Beast Changer! With this Naruto can release the demon inside him! Come, Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama!" The zombie ninja became a zombie fox with nine tails.
Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama: Level 9/FIRE/Beast -} Zombie/3000 ATK/3000 DEF
"And what good will that do? Your monster still can't harm Kasha!"
"That may be, but let's not forget one of you is open! Kurama attacks Raizou directly! Nine-Tails Beam!" Kurama fired his signature attack and, rather than hitting its target, the beam changed directions and went up. Seconds later, it bursts into fireworks.
Bella and Alex: 8000 LP
Taiyou and Raizou: 5000 LP
"I set one card face-down and end my turn," Bella ended, ignoring the last statement.
"Looks like she got nothing. Can't say the same for us though," Raizou said. Taiyou nodded in agreement. "Now I draw!" The spiky-haired Obelisk drew his next card. "I summon D.D. Assailant!" A white ninja girl with a great sword appeared onto the field, who then turned into a Zombie.
D.D. Assailant: Level 4/EARTH/Warrior -} Zombie/1700 ATK/1600 DEF
"Next I activate the Equip Magic, Rocket Pilder!" A rocket launcher was equipped to Assailant's free arm. "Battle! D.D. Assailant! Attack Kurama!"
"But Kurama's ATK is higher," Alex stated. "Even if Rocket Pilder negates the destruction of a monster, you still take damage."
"Not when I have this! Continuous Trap card activate! Spirit Barrier! While I control a monster, I take no Battle Damage!" The zombie ninja girl fired a rocket at the beast, who blocked it with his nine tails. "Now Rocket Pilder's other effect activates. After the monster it was equipped to battles an opponent's monster, that monster loses ATK equal to the ATK of the equipped monster." Assailant fired another rocket. When that rocket made contact, a net was wrapped around Kurama, trapping him.
Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama: 3000 - 1700 = 1300 ATK
"But the effect only lasts until the end of the turn," Bella pointed out.
"Which is why I'll be using this! My Instant Magic, D.D. Striker! By targeting one monster I control, I banish a copy of that monster to let it attack again!" This surprised his opponents as he took out a copy of D.D. Assailant and pocketed it.
(D.D. Striker: Instant Magic: Target one monster you control; banish 1 card with the same name as that monster from your deck. That monster can attack twice this turn.)
"Now D.D. Assailant! Attack Kurama again!" The monster did as ordered and raised her sword to eliminate the Fusion Monster.
"Trap Card open! Magic Cylinder!" Alex intervened. "When my opponent's monster declares an attack, that monster's attack is negated and my opponent takes damage equal to its ATK! Your Spirit Barrier may have protected you from Battle Damage, but it won't protect you from effect damage!" Two cylinders suddenly appeared between the two part-zombies. D.D. Assailant jumped in one of them and exited out the other, accidentally attacking her master.
Bella and Alex: 8000 LP
Taiyou and Raizou: 3300 LP
"Raizou!" Taiyou shouted in a worried tone.
"I'm fine," he assured. He then turned to Alex. "That was a dirty trick!"
"Hey, I'm only doing what I should be doing as Bella's partner!" he defended.
"Why you... I end my turn!"
"My turn! Draw!" Alex drew his next card. "I activate the Magic Card, Painful Choice! I reveal five cards from my deck and you choose one of those five I can add to my hand!" Alex revealed Lightray Diabolos, Dark Armed Dragon, Light and Darkness Dragon, Darkflare Dragon and Lightpulsar Dragon.
"You're taking out your best cards?!" Raizou questioned.
"What a rookie mistake. You shouldn't be put in Ra Yellow," Taiyou laughed.
"I wonder if it is a rookie mistake," Bella said, catching on to Alex's plan.
"Well, in any case... I choose... Darkflare Dragon," Raizou picked, as the four cards were destroyed while the remaining one was added to Alex's hand.
"Next I activate my own Field Magic, Chaos Zone!" The two Blues gasped in shock as the field became dimensional, changing all face-up monsters' type back to their original form.
Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama: Zombie -} Beast
D.D. Assailant: Zombie -} Warrior
"Now I banish Lightray Diabolos and Dark Armed Dragon from my Graveyard to Special Summon Darkflare Dragon from my hand!" Alex's black and red dragon appeared onto the field.
Darkflare Dragon: Level 5/DARK/Dragon/2400 ATK/1200 DEF
"And because two monsters were banished, Chaos Zone gains two Chaos Counters!" Alex's two dragons appeared and turned into portals. "Now by using Darkflare Dragon's monster effect, I send Shimmering-White Dragon Wyburster from my hand and Somber-Black Dragon Collapsarpent from my deck to the Graveyard to banish Light and Darkness Dragon!" The ace dragon of his main deck appeared and also became a portal. "Now the condition is complete."
"Condition?" Taiyou repeated in a questioned tone.
"Just to let you know, Freakstar Dragon counts as a LIGHT attribute while face-up on the field. I banish Darkflare Dragon and Freakstar Dragon to fuse them!"
"What?!" both his opponents gasped.
"WHAT?! NOW?! Oh come on!" Freakstar complained, as he and Darkflare Dragon fused.
"Dragon of light, dragon of darkness! Become one and give birth to a new twilight! Fusion Summon! Appear now, dragon born from the light and darkness! Twilight Dragon!" Alex's true ace appeared onto the field.
Twilight Dragon: Level 10/LIGHT/Dragon/? ATK/? DEF
"Wait, you can't do that!" Raizou shouted.
"He can actually," Bella corrected. "Twilight's own effect is that he can be Special Summoned from Alex's Extra Deck by banishing monsters used to summon him from his field!"
"And that's not all!" Alex continued. "Freakstar Dragon's monster effect! When he's used as a Fusion Material to Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion monster, I banish one card from my deck face-up! The monster I'll be banishing is Lightray Madoor!" The Spellcaster-type monster of Alex's deck appeared and became a portal. "His ATK and DEF becomes 200 times the total level of LIGHT monsters that are banished! Right now there are three LIGHT monsters that are banished: Level 8 Light and Darkness Dragon, Level 7 Lightray Diabolos, Level 6 Lightray Madoor, and Level 4 Freakstar Dragon! That's a total level of 25, therefore Twilight's ATK and DEF is 5000!" The dragon roared as his power was rising.
Twilight Dragon: ? -} 5000 ATK/? -} 5000 DEF
"But it's still not enough to harm Kasha!" Taiyou pointed out.
"I know, but Twilight has another effect! For each DARK monster banished when this card was summoned, I banish cards on the field equal to or less than that amount!"
"WHAT?!" Taiyou and Raizou's jaw dropped.
"The monsters banished are Dark Armed Dragon, Darkflare Dragon and Freakstar Dragon! With three monsters, I'm banishing Kasha, D.D. Assailant, and Spirit Barrier! Twilight Zone!" Twilight Dragon created a rift that pulled the three cards in it, never to be seen again.
"Our ace card!"
"This can't be!"
"Finish it! Attack them directly! Twilight Beam!" At that order, the dragon released a mix of white and black beam from its core at the two Obelisks.
Bella and Alex: 8000 LP
Taiyou and Raizou: 0000 LP
WINNER: BELLA AND ALEX!
"No way! We lost!?" Raizou gasped.
"We'll remember this! And we will come back again to beat you!" Taiyou shouted. At that, the two left.
"Nice going, guys!" Kohaku said.
"Thanks," Bella said.
"Actually might've lost if it wasn't for this card you gave me," Alex admitted.
"Yeah... I think Pegasus went a bit overboard with the 'freak' part."
"Are you sure it was that or because you want me to die?" Bella questioned the female Ra. "It was worse than the time when you forced me to get on the trampoline by summoning out your two beastly Circus Freaks!"
"I assure you, he may be my creation, but I didn't want him to be like that. That was Pegasus' part."
"You got it! Hehehehehehehe!" came the monster in question's voice.
"Oh not you again!" the female blue shouted.
"But that part was also on Alex's fault! He was the one who materialized me and made me me!"
"What are you talking about? I'm not crazy," Freakstar's owner denied.
"True, but you did materialize him," came Time Space Magician's voice.
"Quiet you!"
