Author's note: I defeated the final boss! Muwahahahaha! But that's not exciting news. What's exciting is that a friend of mine had drawn me a picture of Tsubaki! I have to say, I like Tsubaki's drawing more than Kurai. It's probably because I'm more biased toward underdogs and hot-headed people than cold people lol. If you wanna see Tsubaki's drawing, check it out on my profile! Tell me what you think of him! I'm curious to know.

Episode 14 Part B
Kurai appeared again on the large plasma screen with Yami Kuriboh right behind him. The official logo of Yugioh GX appeared on the bottom right corner after few seconds.
Somewhere inside the ruin, Shizuka was playing a dangerous shadow game with Diabound with her and her friends' lives on stake. She was inside a dimension covered by purple mixed with dark colors shadows. Her friends were floating in air while they were tied up by slimy black tentacles floating with them. Diabound had a deadly monster Dark Necrophia [M1 (8/2200/2800)] on its side of the field while Shizuka had three monsters, Spirit of the Breeze, [M2 (3/0/1800)] Dancing Fairy, [M3 (4/1700/1000)] and Cure Mermaid [M4 (4/1500/800)] on her side. Even if the Diabound had strength on its side, he was still vastly outnumbered by its opponent's Life Points against its own. However, even if Shizuka had an advantage in this duel, she was struck by dark memories that occurred in the past few years.
Shizuka's clear eyes was shaking out of fright as the painful memories of her brother's loss and Miss Mai Valentine's loss scared her tremendously. Shizuka mumbled to herself as her lips were quivering, "This is the shadow game…the very shadow game…that caused onii-san and my friends pain…Onii-san, what should I do?"
Diabound's monotone yet sounded demonic voice interrupted Shizuka's thoughts, "You have far too much Life Points ahead of me. Allow me to get rid of it." Diabound's eyes glowed intensely, "Dark Necrophia, destroy Spirit of the Breeze!" The intimidating woman's eyes glowed bright and instantly her eyeballs fired lasers that set fire on the poor spirit. The spirit cried as her robe and body was consumed completely by the fire of hell. Suddenly, Shizuka felt that her entire body was on fire. Her clear skin was melting and scalding. Shizuka wailed as she collapsed on her knees and almost fell completely. The girl gasped as she stared at her arms that were still there and not ashes. Her eyes shook even more as she remembered how Miss Mai and her brother suffered through the Shadow game. She gasped, "This is the shadow game?" Her body was shaking.
"This is not a dream, little girl. As you seen the shadow game before, I expect you to know the rule." Diabound pointed to her Life Points decreasing.
Diabound: 700. Shizuka: 7600 – 2200 = 5400.
"I place two cards face-down," Two set cards appeared behind Dark Necrophia, "I end my turn. Do you even have the strength to go on?" Diabound chuckled as its tail snake hissed and snapped.
Shizuka winced at Diabound's question. She closed her eyes, 'I'm scared…I admit that…but if I don't fight…' She opened her eyes and stared at the floating duelists who were being drained by the tentacles wrapped around them, 'they will lose their lives!' She slowly stood up on her feet, "I will finish this. Draw!" The card came floating out of her deck and enlarged as it became part of the giant floating Hand. Shizuka narrowed her eyes as she noticed the card she drew. She quickly continued on, "Because I draw a card, Solemn Wishes [T1] gives me 500 Life Points!" Her trap card glowed as white rain sprinkled the blessed duelist.
Diabound: 700. Shizuka: 5400 + 500 = 5900.
Shizuka went on, "Now that it is my Standby Phase, my Cure Mermaid's effect activate again, increasing my Life Points by 800!" The mermaid gave Shizuka's an air kiss with her heart shaped bubble that sprinkled upon the duelist.
Diabound: 700. Shizuka: 5900 + 800 = 6700.
Shizuka pointed to her three little fairies hiding behind the gallant white shield, "Also when my Dancing Fairy is in face-up defense mode during my Standby Phase, I gain 1000 Life Points!" The three fairies took flight and left their shield behind. They flied around Shizuka, spreading sweet pollens to recover her Life Points.
Diabound: 700. Shizuka: 6700 + 1000 = 7700.
Diabound commented, "Such annoying moves but it would not save you from the shadow game! The more Life Points you have, the more damages you gain, then the more pain you get." The demon chuckled.
Shizuka gritted her teeth but she chose one card from her hand, "I will defeat you with my strongest card. I summon Injection Angel Lily!" [M5 (3/400/1500)] A girl suddenly came to the field with an explosion and pink smokes. It was an average angel girl with pink skin and bright cheery eyes and white wings behind her back. Her fluffy hair resembled a pink cotton candy served in a carnival. She wore a white skimpy nurse uniform with red collars and lines. Above her uniform were two white angelic wings that resembled a bra. She also wore a white cap with a red heart as a decoration. She carried a large injection needle with both of her gloved hands. The little angel winked and gave a blow kiss as she made a flashy entrance.
Diabound growled at her movements, "Your strongest monster? How? It only has a 400 ATK."
"You'll see. I switch my Dancing Fairy to attack mode!" The fairies popped out and the white shield became a chained spike ball once again. The fairies grabbed the chain and prepared for battle. Shizuka stretched out her hand to Injection Angel Lily, "Injection Angel Lily, attack Dark Necrophia!" The cute angel flapped her wings as she carried her large injection needle. She charged at Dark Necrophia as she was a jousting knight in a tournament while the Flight of the Bumblebees played in the background.
Diabound was surprised but didn't show it, "Are you a fool? Are you trying to commit suicide?" The blue-skinned woman just glared at the nurse angel with her creepy eyes that started to glow brightly.
Shizuka declared, "I activate my monster's effect! I pay 2000 Life Points to increase her ATK by 3000!" [Injection Angel Lily's ATK: 400 + 3000 = 3400] Suddenly Lily's needle became much bigger and she clumsily dropped it and disappeared out of the screen. She quickly came back to the screen, riding the giant injection needle like a rodeo cowboy. The nurse was yelling out of excitement as she swung her hat.
Diabound: 700. Shizuka: 7700 – 2000 = 5700.
Diabound slowly thought to itself, 'So this is why this girl kept increasing her life points. So she would have enough to pay to strengthen her weak monster into a powerhouse.' Diabound complimented, "Interesting effect but wasted effort! I activate my trap card, Altar of Tribute!" [T2] The demon's facedown card stood erect, containing a picture of an altar made out of bones and apparently it was sucking the blood or red energy out of the demon floating on the top of the altar, "This trap card allow me to send my monster to the Graveyard and increase my Life Points equal to the original ATK. The monster I chose is Dark Necrophia!" Suddenly an altar erupted into the Field and Dark Necrophia was in the center of it. The top of the altar fired a red bolt that shocked Dark Necrophia and the broken doll baby greatly. Their limbs twisted in many impossible ways as the red bolt continued to shock them until the tortured female soul exploded into raw energy for Diabound, "My Life Points now increased by 2200."
Diabound: 700 + 2200 = 2900. Shizuka: 5700.
Shizuka was disgusted at Diabound's trap card. How the trap card slaughtered the demon was ruthless even if the monster card was scary. She yelled, "Even if you increase my Life Points, my Injection Angel Lily can still take away the rest of your Life Points!" The victory was assured. Her friends will be saved and she wouldn't need to lose her soul to the shadow game. The Injection Angel Lily just rode the needle like a cowgirl and headed toward Diabound.
Diabound just laughed tauntingly in such hideous tone. Shizuka didn't like that tone because it made her think that something terrible will happen. Shizuka suddenly remembered what happened in that duel when Dark Necrophia was destroyed. She gasped, "No." The giant needle suddenly made a skidding sound and Lily almost fell off as the needle bucked into a complete stop. Lily blinked in confusion as she stared at the remains of Dark Necrophia on the Field. Suddenly the remains burst into purple flames.
"I believed you remember this card," Diabound chuckled as suddenly the purple flames became a huge pillar of fire that struck the shadow and slowly replaced the entire dimension with blood red mixed with black clouds, "When Dark Necrophia goes to the Graveyard, I can activate this card from my Hand," The demon's eyes flashed blood red, "Dark Sanctuary!" [S1] The dark clouds suddenly gained eyes that snapped open, revealing its blood red pupils. The clouds also gained lips with fangs, making it look like a vampire teeth.
Shizuka's body shook again as she remembered that she hugged her brother in fear of this dreadful field but her brother was not here and she's the one who must duel against this demon. She suddenly realized as she remembered another effect of the Field card. She saw that her Injection Angel Lily was still aiming for an attack at Diabound, "Oh no!"
The Injection Angel Lily was about to pierce Diabound with the large needle until a haunting spirit entered her body and struck Shizuka. Diabound laughed evilly, "Since you were there, I believe that you also remember this effect. This Field has a resident ghost that can possess one of your monsters. When the monster that possessed the ghost attacked, that attack is negated and you received damage equal to half of the monster's ATK and I gained Life Points equal to half of the monster's ATK too. Unfortunately for you, the ghost has possessed your angel. Since your angel had a 3400 ATK, I gain 1700 Life Points and you lose 1700 Life Points." But Diabound was in complete surprise.
Diabound: 2900 + 200 = 3100. Shizuka: 5700 – 200 = 5500.
Diabound was shocked at the results, "Nani? But how?" He saw that Injection Angel Lily's needle was smaller and her ATK was back to normal. [Injection Angel Lily's ATK: 3400 – 3000 = 400]
"Unfortunately, Injection Angel Lily's ATK only increase during the damage step. Afterwards, her ATK goes back to normal. So even if the Ghost possessed this monster, the damage will still be minimal." Shizuka smiled slightly while withstanding a little pain from losing little Life Points and she ordered both of her monsters to attack her opponent directly for complete victory, "Dancing Fairy, attack!" The fairies span the spiked ball in complete circles and let it go toward Diabound.
Diabound pointed to his set card on the Field, "I activate my face-down card, The Curse of the Vengeful Souls!" [T3] The trap card had a picture of numerous skeletal hands heading toward the screen with red mixed with black colored background, "Since Dark Necrophia was sent to the Graveyard, I can use this trap card to end your turn!"
Shizuka pouted slightly as she had no choice.
"Draw!" Diabound chuckled evilly as it drew the card for its victory, "I played a magic card, The Dark Door." [S2] His permanent magic card revealed a lone demon entering the doorway, facing many monsters preparing for their deadly surprise attacks, "The Dark Door make both of us to attack only with one monster during the Battle Phase."
'Only one monster during the Battle Phase?' Shizuka thought to herself as her strategy was limited.
Diabound's eyes glowed as it selected another card, "Then I summon Sangan!" [M6 (3/1000/600)] A brown hairy mangy ball appeared with two foot and long clawed arms. It had three wide eyes with tiny pupil as dots and a large mouth with few fangs, "In order to keep Dark Sanctuary on the Field, I must sacrifice a monster at the end of my turn. I sacrifice Sangan!" A mouth appeared from the sanctuary and swallowed Sangan away from the Field, "When Sangan goes to the Graveyard from the Field, it allows me to get a monster with an ATK of 1500 or lower from my deck." Diabound's deck suddenly glowed and all the cards from Diabound's deck appeared in right in front of the monster. Diabound pointed his finger at one of the cards, "I chose Earthbound Spirit." The card revealed itself to Shizuka so she could see the picture of a dark-skinned zombie coming from the earth. The cards of the deck restored to normal size and reshuffled. The card that Diabound chose floated to its Hand, "I place one card face down." A card appeared behind Sangan. Your move!"
Shizuka narrowed her eyes as the top card flew from her deck and became part of her Hand, 'The Dark Door…and that face down card…' She tried to remember the famous duel between her brother's friend and his opponent. She then suddenly remembered ominous letters that nearly spell…, "That face down card…It can't be…"
Diabound chuckled, "Oh but it is. I activate my face down card! The Ouija Board!" [T4] His trap card revealed a deadly spirit holding a D in its ghostly arms over the infamous Ouija board.
Shizuka gasped as she remembered this card from the Battle Ship, "The Ouija Board."
A letter "D" materialized on the Field above the duelists. "At the end of each of your turn, the next letter will appear. When it finally spelled Death, the shadow game will take your life!" Diabound laughed manically.
Outside the ruins, it was dark, the sun had set and disappeared to the other side of the world, letting a black curtain covered the sky. The inhabitants of the island relied their technological sources of light besides the light from the full moon and the bright stars. However, the people had failed to notice another source of light on the island. Beyond the thick forests, an old ruin was giving off a bright glow as a strange sign of ancient power was at work. Most people were asleep or doing their late activates, so they would never notice the strange glow from the ruin.
At the top of the Dueling Academy, one person had noticed the strange glow from the ruin through the glassed window walls. That person was the Kamil aka Fisherman, the principal of the Duel Academy. The Fisherman was staring at the ruin with a knowing glint behind his closed eyes, "So it awakened, huh? I guess Shadow is right, after all. The disaster will happen soon."
Within the ruin, two male teachers were running through traps with ease. Arrows were suddenly shot from the walls toward them. Gabriel immediately stopped running and then swung his sword to cut the arrows. His stern eyes widened as a large boulder heading toward him.
"Get back!" Tyrell suddenly ran in front of Gabriel as he went into his boxing pose. He narrowed his eyes as he mustered all strength into his clenched fist. As the boulder came within few inches of Tyrell, he immediately punched and completely pulverized the boulder into dust.
Gabriel stared in slight amazement, "That was quite impressive."
Tyrell smirked with pride, "Heh, thanks." But then his face distorted with extreme pain, "GAHHHHHH!" He held his throbbing hand, the same hand that punched the boulder, "Ouch! That really hurts!"
Gabriel stared at Tyrell as he just lost his admiration of him, "You know…you just ruined your moment there."
"Eh?" Tyrell whined, "I can't believe I just ruined my manly moment! I need to be manlier! Gabe, what should I do?" He looked back at Gabriel but noticed that he was gone, "Gabe?" He glanced around, "Where did ya go?" He sighted Gabriel touching the wall.
"They were in here." Gabriel observed the damages around the ruins, "The traps activated before."
Tyrell gulped, "Does this mean our students are dead?"
Gabriel continued walking deeper in the hallway, "No, there's no corpses…yet."
"Yet?" Tyrell exclaimed as he went after Gabriel, "How can you say that? Don't you have any faith in our students?"
"You started it." Gabriel countered as they continued their search for the missing students.
Back at the bottom of the ruin, Kurai's duel with the shadow was underway.
Kurai was staring at the three cards in his hand and snatched one card, "I set one card face-down and then I'll finish my turn." An M/T card materialized on the Field behind his winged mercenary.
The shadow thought to himself, 'Nobody survived this long except that little pest.' The shadow smirked, 'He is certainly interesting.' He drew a card from his Duel Disk, "Draw! This is the end of your short life! I play a magic card, Sealing Sword of Dead Spirits!" [S3] The shadow's magic card revealed a thin needle dagger with blue handle. It had a pink exhilarating background. Afterwards, the same dagger appeared on the Field, "I chose your E-Merc Blazing Windman!" The dagger charged instantly and stabbed E-Merc Blazing Windman and pinned Kurai's winged warrior to the shadow wall.
Suddenly, Kurai felt his heart was pinned by a large needle, "ARGHHHHHH!" He collapsed on his knee and clenched his chest, trying to brace the pain. His breathing became labored and he glared at the shadow with hatred.
The shadow explained the effect of his magic card, "The Sealing Sword of Dead Spirits allows me to seal one of your monsters. When that happened, your monster cannot attack nor defend and the effect became negated. Also the sword cannot be destroyed by magic, trap, or any of your monster's effects." The shadow laughed manically, "Also when your only monster is sealed," His shadowy eyes became creepy, "You're free for direct attacks."
Kurai suppressed the pain of his heart and asked, "How am I supposed to destroy your stupid magic card?"
The shadow chuckled, "When one of your monster goes to the graveyard, the sealed monster become unsealed," He pointed to Kurai's empty Field, "However you don't have any monsters!"
Kurai quickly stood up and pressed the button on his Duel Disk, "You're wrong! I activate my trap card, Mercenary's Best Friend!" [T5] Kurai's trap card showed a cold looking swordsman gently patting a wolf for appreciation, "When my E-Merc Blazing Windman became the target of your magic card, I can special summon Fiend Husky [M8 (3/800/1200)] to the Field in defense!" He grabbed his deck and took one card. He slammed the card he took on the Duel Disk and a chrome-plated husky appeared on the Field in Kurai's side.
"The defense is still weak." The shadow scoffed as he placed one card on the Duel Disk, "I'll summon Dead Master – Dead Cregit Mage!" [M7 (4/1700/1200)] A dead necromancer appeared on the Field with its old twisted body. It wore a black hood and cape over its dull gray wizard's robe. It carried a long rotten wood staff, "Dead Master – Dead Cregit Mage, destroy his precious pet!" The zombie mage aimed its wooden staff and sent a gray energy ball that shocked the Fiend Husky tremendously. Kurai couldn't help but screamed out of pain as his body was shocked greatly.
Yami Kuriboh was concerned, "Kuri. Kuri!" He waved his tiny little paws.
The shadow chuckled as he enjoyed his opponent's pain, "If you keep summoning monsters, you will feel their pain a lot more." He laughed out loud again.
Kurai glared and declared, "When you destroyed Fiend Husky and sent him to Graveyard, I can get Polymerization and an E-Merc monster from the Graveyard to my Hand!"
"Not so fast!" The shadow interrupted and pointed to his Fiend Husky that was suddenly sent to the top of Kurai's deck.
Kurai was surprised, "Nani?"
The shadow explained, "When my Dead Master destroys your monster, your monster is sent to the Top of your deck, not the Graveyard."
Kurai cursed, "Shit!"
The shadow smirked, "Now, Death Calibre Knight! Attack him directly!" The black horse neighed and charged. The knight held its evil sword high and slashed Kurai. Kurai groaned as he braced the shadow monster's attack.
Kurai: 2900 – 1900 = 1000. The shadow: 4000.
The shadow laughed manically again as he enjoyed laughing very much. He continued laughing as his opponent's life points were decreasing.
Kurai just stood there while his opponent was becoming a psycho. He asked, "Are you done yet?"
The shadow stopped laughing and glanced at Kurai. He smirked, "What's wrong, boy? Rushing to your death so soon?"
Kurai narrowed his eyes that caused shock to the shadow, "This game is not over yet."
The shadow scowled, 'I thought for sure that his spirit will become weak and pathetic but it didn't' He smirked wickedly, 'this boy is proving his worth.' He picked three cards from his Hand and inserted them, "I set three cards face-down and I end my turn."
"Draw!" Kurai knew he's going to drew Fiend Husky. He glanced at his other two cards in his Hand. He knew he doesn't have much of a choice plus…he had to be aware of his opponent's face-down cards. Where are Tempest Lady and Tornado Duster when he needs them? He took his chance and played one magic card, "I play Pot of Greed!" [S4] His new magic card showed the infamous green pot with yellow teeth and blue decorations, "I draw two cards," He quickly grabbed them and looked at his new choices. He smirked as luck was at his side, "I summon Fiend Husky in attack!" He summoned the metallic husky again but this time on the offense, "Fiend Husky, attack Death Calibre Knight with Chrome Fang!" The husky howled as it rushed to the skeletal knight.
The shadow was surprised at his opponent's action, 'Fool, if he does that, then he would lose all his life points. What is he planning?' The husky tried to bite the knight but its fangs only bit on the Death Calibre Knight's broadsword. The knight's eyes glowed faintly as it sliced the poor Husky in half. Kurai groaned as he felt his entire body was cut in half. He nearly collapsed but he kept his balance. The shadow spoke, "Because of your foolish action, you lose all your life points and your life!" He grinned inside his mind, 'Now his body is mine.'
Kurai smirked with his eyes in shadows, "Not quite."
The shadow was surprised, "Nani?" He saw Kurai's Life Points were 3700, "How did that happen?" That's when the shadow finally noticed a magic card on Kurai's Field with a picture of a battered up bandaged berserker giving a lot of gold coins to the Greedy Goblin Merchant who was grinning evilly with his eyes replaced by dollar signs.
Kurai pointed to his new magic card, "I activate Demand Double Refund. [S5] This magic card activated when my monster is destroyed from battle and the Battle Damage is supposedly higher than my Life Points. I gained Life Points by double of the ATK of the monster that destroyed Fiend Husky. Your monster has 1900 ATK, thus I gain 3800 Life Points."
Kurai: 1000 + 3800 = 4800. The shadow: 4000.
Kurai explained the details further, "But I have to take battle damage afterwards."
Kurai: 4800 – 1100 = 3700. The shadow: 4000.
The shadow gritted its shadowy teeth, 'Damnit, in one turn, the annoying pest had found a way to restore his Life Points to near maximum.'
Kurai discarded Fiend Husky to the Graveyard, "Also because Fiend Husky was destroyed by Death Calibre Knight and was sent to the Graveyard, I can bring Polymerization and E-Merc monster back to my hand," He grabbed two cards from the Graveyard, revealing the shadow his Polymerization and E-Merc Stone Guarder, "Also when a monster of mine goes to the Graveyard, your Sealing Sword of Dead Spirits is destroyed!" He pointed to the shadow's face-up magic card that shattered into pieces. The large pin disappeared and his Blazing Windman flied back to the Field.
Since it was still his Battle Phase, Kurai quickly played another card from his Hand, "Then I activate another magic card, Double Strike!" [S6] His new magic card contained a picture of the cold swordsman slashing a demon into three pieces because he delivered two strikes, "This magic card allows me to discard one monster card. I can select one E-Merc monster that is lower lever than the monster card I discard, so my monster can attack twice! The monster card I discard is Level Seven E-Merc Force Vanquisher!" [E-Merc Force Vanquisher: ?/Warrior/7/?/?: Effect: SECRET.] He discarded his monster card into the Graveyard, "Now my E-Merc Blazing Windman can attack twice! E-Merc Blazing Windman, destroy Death Calibre Knight with Hawk Blaze!" The winged warrior took flight and fired a purple fire bird that became a pillar of destruction that consumed the poor skeletal knight completely into ashes.
Kurai: 3700. The shadow: 4000 – 200 = 3800.
"Also, my E-Merc Blazing Windman's effect activates! When he destroys your monster and sent it to the Graveyard, you take damage to the destroyed monster's defense. Your Death Calibre Knight has 1800 defense." Kurai explained as the flaming pillar continued on its blazing path and struck the shadow.
Kurai: 3700. The shadow: 3800 – 1800 = 2000.
Kurai declared his second attack, "E-Merc Blazing Windman, attack his other monster with another Hawk Blaze!" The winged warrior took flight again and fired another purple fire bird toward the Dead Master. The fire bird struck with an explosion and became the pillar again however it was not burning the Dead Master. The zombie wizard had a barrier around him, protecting him from the pillar of fire. Kurai was stunned, "What the hell's going on?" He demanded to know.
The shadow snickered then he explained, "My Dead Master had a second effect. When it is destroyed as the result of battle, I reduce all damage to zero by returning all my cards in my Hand to the deck." The wizard shattered into pieces but the shadow took no damage. The shadow returned the cards in his Hand to the deck and shuffled it afterwards.
Kurai growled but he was finished, "I end my turn."
"Draw!" The shadow drew his card and played it immediately, "I play Pot of Greed and draw two cards!" He drew his two cards from the Deck. He smirked, "I activate one of my face-down cards, Curse Necros Twins!" [S7] The shadow's face-down card had a picture of two female twin dolls that had blonde curly hairs. One doll was wearing a pink dress and bow while carrying a black present box with red ribbons. She contained a red background. The other doll was wearing the same clothes except it was light blue and she carried a red present box with black ribbons. She contained a blue background. His magic card activated and the two same dolls appeared on the Field. The shadow grinned evilly, "Pick one."
Kurai was confused and questioned, "What do you mean?"
"Precisely what I meant," The shadow just smirked, "One box brings good effects while the other box might have the opposite. You just need to choose one, that's all."
Kurai narrowed his eyes but replied concisely, "Red." He had picked the red box.
The shadow giggled softly, "Congratulations, you picked the right box. You gain 200 Life Points for each card that sent to your Graveyard." The red box opened and the doll disappeared while the black box slowly opened and the doll just vanished, "And you left the black box with me," His eyes widened in creepy way, "Which make my Graveyard disappear."
Kurai's eyes widened in shock as monsters were floating in air above the Field. He recognized them as the shadow's monsters but they were all transparent as they were ghosts.
The shadow explained, "Because my Graveyard disappears, my monsters become spirits but no worries, they cannot attack or use their effects." He laughed evilly.
Kurai just stared at the floating spirits that haunted the Field. He couldn't help but felt something wrong with the shadow's moves, 'This freak is planning something.'

Card of the Day – The Oujia Board
Alexander smiled: The Oujia Board, one of the few cards that can grant you special victory and one of my favorite items of all time. Don't you just love the Oujia Board?
Tsubaki: …Um…I'm not sure….
Alexander smiled: Why did you say that?
Tsubaki: Well…first of all…it's just a board…and you just drag across that magnifying glass across bunch of letters. It's all nonsense crap.
Alexander: Oh? You don't believe that sprits of the afterlife will give you a message?
Tsubaki: Please, I'm not that stupid.
Alexander: Oh…I guess you don't want to know how you can beat Yuki then.
Tsubaki: Eh, what do you mean?
Alexander looked away: I was asking the spirits for ways of beating Yuki. It was very interesting but since you don't believe in the Oujia board, I don't think I'll tell you.
Tsubaki: Ehhhh? You gotta tell me! Come on, be a pal!
Alexander: Nope. I don't wanna.
Tsubaki: Alex? Buddy, come on! Please!
Alexander walked away: Too late. ::he chuckled::
Tsubaki: Alex? Come on! I gotta know how to beat that cold-hearted stiff bastard!
