Chapter 28: Truth and Consequences Part 2

Akiza and Miles' duel against Misty Tredwell continued.

Just then Luna and Leo arrived. "Hey what's with that dome?" Leo asked. "Akiza must be dueling Misty." Luna added.

The twins then heard footsteps coming behind them. They turned their heads around and running towards them was Shadow and Cosmo.

"Hey you both what's going here?" Shadow asked. "Akiza is.."Luna began to say as Cosmo let out a gasp. "What is it Cosmo?" Leo asked as the green haired girl pointed. They looked and saw another duelist with Akiza. "Who's that?" Shadow asked.

Leo and Luna observed the duelist wearing silver armor and then they gasped cause they remember that armor and what duelist wore it.

Luna was about to speak when Akiza rang her voice: Ha ha Black Rose Dragon attack Misty's Dragon of Tragic Endings now!"

The Dragon let out a purple like flame breath and destroyed the plant ugly Dragon.

Misty: 3500

"Aaaah!" Misty screamed feeling the attacks force. The purple flame breath damaged the ground causing the twins and Miles old comrades to gasp. "Whoa that attack was like real." Leo said shaking. " That mean Akiza is using her Psychic Powers again like the Fortune Cup." Luna added trembling.

Shadow and Cosmo were shocked at this Psychic power but were mostly wondered who the duelist in armor is.

Shadow turned around to face the twins. "Who is that duelist in that silver armor?" He asked as the twins.

Luna and Leo told that Miles was the duelist in the armor suit. "What?" Shadow asked in shock. "How is that possible?"

"You see that Dark Signer Misty Tredwell." Luna asked pointing. "Yes what does she got do with our Comrade in that armor?" Cosmo asked.

As the twin explained Akiza, Miles continued their duel against Misty.

"Its your move brother or Starlight Kind I should I say." Akiza said. "Yes it is I draw." Miles said drawing his card.

"I summon Level 4 Star Space Clown Fiend!"

Star Space Clown Fiend Attack 1100

"That thing has only 1100 attack points." Akiza spat. "True but I activate my trap card I placed Star Space Milky Way thanks to this trap by cutting my clowns attacks point in half it can attack my opponent directly."

Star Space Clown Fiend 550

"Now my clown attack Misty directly go Plasma Gun Laser blast!" Miles commanded. The clown like fiend took out a water like gun which fired a Plasma laser at Misty.

Misty:2950

"Where did Miles get a monster like that?" Cosmo asked. "He never that had any monster called Star Space."

"I end my turn but not before my Clown gets attack points back to normal." Miles said.

Star Space Clown Fiend Attack 1100

"Your sisters power that she possess that's why my brother look for her and that's what he went missing." Misty said. "Look I or my sister Akiza don't know what happen to your brother as far as I can tell Misty I really wanted to help you find out what about his wherebouts cause I cared for you!" Miles angrily shouted.

Shadow and Cosmo were shocked about this and they noticed a tear running down his left eye.

"I don't care what you say Miles all that matters is that Akiza is going to pay for what she did and since you're siding with her then we're enemies." Misty said. 'Now come forth ancient seal!"

The Lizard Geogylph appeared from the ground.

In a building Sayer was watching from the window. "Ha ha when will these Dark Signers learn that they can't control the uncontrollable?" He chuckled. "Now show Misty no mercy Akiza."

back the old house where Yusei and Mina were still trapped in the cellar while Trudge and Slippy struggled to get to open the hatch with a mental spear.

"Hey you two we're not getting any dryer down here!" Yusei yapped. "Hey stop your yapping its not helping!" Trudge spat. "Man this is harder than opening a locked door." Slippy complained. "Hey Jack where are you help us!" Mina cried out.

Trudge's ear twitch at that. "Did she say Jack?!" He asked as he pulled back harder on the hatch which finally opened and Slippy fell backward but landed on his feet.

"Good job you two." Yusei said.

Yusei and the others walked out of the old house.

"I got to find Akiza and Miles." The Former Champion said as he began to run off.

"Hold up Akiza told me that Misty that Dark Signer thinks she's respondible for her brother's disappearance." Mina said.

"What that can't be true." Yusei said. "Yeah Akiza told that too." Slippy added. "Well Misty is out to get her." Mina added.

"Its my move then I draw." Misty said drawing her card. "But due the effect of my Sad Story Spell Combo the card I drew has to be put back to my deck and reshuffled."

"I don't need to summon or draw a monster you see by sending a Continues Spell card like Sorrowful Memories to the graveyard I can bring back my Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings."

Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings Attack 1900

"Next I play the Equip Spell Reptillianne Rage which increases my Dragon's attack points by 800." Misty explained as she played the Equip Spell and a mask was then put on Dragon Queen's face.

Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings attack 2700

"Now I'll attack Black Rose Dragon!" Misty said.

Dragon Queen then let out a stream of wind at the Rose Dragon. "I activate my trap Rose Blizzard since my Dragon was the target of your Dragon not only is your attack blocked but it your beast gets switched into defense mode." Akiza explained.

Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings Defense 2600

"You managed to enlude my Dragon's attack but next time you and your brother won't be lucky." Misty said with evily grin.

Yusei and Slippy met up with the twins and Miles' two comrades. "Hey you guys what's going here?" He asked.

"Akiza is dueling but so is Miles." Luna answered. "Yeah but Akiza is being the mean scary Akiza and Miles wearing that Silver armor he wore before." Leo added. "What?" Yusei asked as he turned to face the duel.

"Look at them both Akiza is being the Black Rose again like the Fortune Cup and Miles dueling with that Silver Armor." Leo explained.

"What happened to them?" Yusei asked. "What's going to happen to our comrade?" Shadow asked the Champion. "I don't know." The Champion Satellite replied.

Slippy was worried about Akiza and Miles too.

Sayer was still watching the duel. "Now finish her Akiza use the powers I unleashed."

Yusei saw Sayer and recognized him back in the Fortune Cup after he was the guy that took Akiza away after Yusei defeated her. "How did I let that diguise fool me?" He muttered. "Luna and Leo you both stay as for you Slippy you come with me."

Yusei ran off and Slippy followed. "Hey where you guys going?" Leo asked.

"Its my move then I draw." Akiza said drawing her card which was Dark Verger. "Next I remove my Rose Fairy from play in order to activate my Dragon's ability which not only switches you Dragon Queen into attack mode but its attack points become zero." She explained.

Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings Attack 0

"You'll pay for that!" Misty yelled. "On the contrary its you will be the one paying Dark Signer since I unlocked Akiza's true powers and pay you shall." Sayer said.

Just then Yusei and Slippy barge in the room that Sayer was in and confront the Leader of the Arcadia Movement. "Yusei, how did you manage to escape my trap." He asked as he activated his Duel Disk.

"Ha ha ha Now Black Rose Dragon take out Misty's monster!" Akiza commanded.

The Black rose Dragon let out its purple flame breath at the ugly reptile which caused shockwaves.

Misty: 600

"That was quite the tragic ending for you dragon." Akiza said with a wicked smile. "It looks like you're about to lost." Miles added.

"The only one losing anything is Black Rose Dragon by removing Reptillanne Rage from the game your Dragon loses 800 attack points." Misty explained.

Black Rose Dragon Attack 1600

"In that case I'd better plant myself a little defense." Akiza said as she summoned her Dark Verger.

Dark Verger Defense 1000

"Now this plant is in play I let my brother or the Starlight King take his move." Akiza said looking at her brother. "I draw then." He said but then he gasped at what he drew it was Super Polymerization the card. "(What's this why am I trembling.)" He asked himself.

Shadow and Cosmo noticed that their comrade was shaking. "What's with Miles?" Cosmo asked. Luna and Leo looked closely at what was making Miles tremble and then they noticed he was looking at the card he drew.

Miles then had flashback scenes in his head he saw the destruction he caused and when he dueled his new dad and Tanner.

"Are you going to make a move?" Misty asked impatiently. Miles then a heard his dark sides voice. "(Forget about this card focus your anger on Misty.)"

Then the female voice rang out again. (Please Miles don't be afraid you must do what you think is..)" She was cut off by Miles' dark side. ("You've held Miles back for the last!)" The Dark Side voice said angrily.

Miles shook his head. "I play the Level 3 Tuner Monster Star Space Reptoid Snake."

Star Space Reptoid Attack 1000

"Next I tune my Level 3 Star Space Reptoid Snake with my Level 4 Star Space Clown Fiend in order to Synchro Summon Star Space Snakebot !" Miles proclaimed.

Star Space Snakebot Attack 2300

"Now I attack your.." Miles began to say when suddenly he heard the female voice again. "(Miles don't do this to Misty you still care for her I know you do!)" The female voice cried out.

Miles hesiated. "I...I..end my turn with one facedown." which made Akiza gasp and the others were confused as well.

"What didn't you attack Misty?!" Akiza asked angrily. Miles was just silent but he did hear Akiza but then he heard his dark side again. (You made a grave mistake but no matter you'll get her soon.)"

Back at the building Yusei and Slippy started to talking to Sayer. "What is that you want with Akiza?" Yusei asked.

"Its quite simple I want revenge for what the Dark Signers did to me and the Arcadia Movement." Sayer explained showing a scare on his face to Slippy and Yusei. "Akiza is going to make that revenge possible. "You may haven't noticed this but she's not that person anymore!" Slippy yelled making a fist. "She is who I say she is and right now she's a one woman army who wil obey my ever order when my war with the Dark Signers is over." Sayer added.

"Leave Akiza out of this she's through with the Arcadia Movement!" Yusei shouted. "Did you say through Yusei?" Sayer asked. "She's through with nothing until I says she is and I'm never letting her go with you both."

"We'll see about that." Yusei said as Sayer activated the spell card Hinotama which fired a fireball at Yusei and Slippy but they manage to dodge it. "Can't you see that controlling people is wrong?" Yusei asked. "Some people need directions that can preven themselves from getting hurt nor others therefore Akiza needed someone like me to guide her to keep calm and focused." Sayer said.

"Even though she's under my control its because of me that she'll be able unleash all her true powers and that's something you both or your other friends can never give her." Sayer added.

"You're pathetic." Yusei said. "No but this Dark Signer Misty has let the hate she has for Akiza cloud her ability to think clearly why else would she enter a Shadow Duel with Psychic Duelist where the outcome is certain defeat and all this is to find out the truth about her brothers diappearance." Sayer said.

Yusei and Slippy hearing this caused them to remember something before they met up with the others.

flashback scene where Yusei and Mina were trapped in a house's cellar.

"There aren't many solid leads wherebouts of Misty's brother in fact there is wide speculation that the Arcadia Movement might've been providing false information to the investigators." Mina explained.

end of flashback.

"So wait it was your lies that made Misty become Dark Signer?" Yusei asked. "When I heard about you about from Akiza and the others I knew you were lower than low but you lying to investigators that Akiza was the reason Misty's brother went missing like a lost child is more than lower you've hit rock bottom." Slippy yelled.

"Misty chose to believe what she wanted to believe she wanted answer and it was that Akiza was to blame." Sayer said.

"To blame, you're the one to blame for this because of your lies!" Yusei shouted. "If so what you both gonna do about it." Sayer asked.

"Its my move you two." Misty said drawing her card. "I summon Reptilanne Gardna in defense mode!

Reptilanne Gardna Defense 2000

"Next I remove the Continous Spell Card Sad Story Unwavering Truth so I can bring back Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings."

Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings Attack 1900

"Now I remind if I have a Continous Spell Card I can bring my Dragon again and again." Misty explained. "Too bad your Black Rose Dragon won't be around anymore now go Tragedy Stream attack!"

Dragon Queen let out a stream of wind at Akiza's Dragon and was destroyed.

Akiza: 1700

"Since you taken battle damage my Dragon Queen's ability forces you have to send one of your cards in your hand to the graveyard." Misty explained. "Now to due my Dragon's second ability I can draw another card." She added as she drew her extra card. "Its your move then Akiza."

"It is so I draw." Akiza said. "I bet this move will blow you away I activate the spell Fragrance Storm by destroying Dark Verger I can draw a card." Akiza explained drawing another card from her deck which was another plant monster.

"If I'm lucky enough to draw another Plant type Monster all I got to do is show what it is and I get a bonus draw." Akiza added drawing extra card. "Next I summon Copy Plant to field in Defense Mode."

Copy Plant Defense 0

"Since I played Plant Tuner Monster I can Special Summon my Dark Verger from my graveyard." She added. "I'll end my turn with two facedown cards.

Dark Verger Defense 1000

"Play all the weeds you want Akiza cause all roll over them with last of your and brother's life points." Misty said.

"Its my move then I draw." Miles said he noticed he draw a spell Star Space Fusion He remembered it was the same spell he used in his duel when he was started causing destruction.

Miles looked at his hand he had Star Space Fusion and another Star Space Monster also he had the Super Polymerzation card he had facedown. "Argh from my hand I activate the my Star Space Alien Striker ability by send this card to graveyard it can inflict 500 points of damage to my opponent." He explained.

Misty: 400

"In exchange any Star Space Monster I have on my field can't attack for this turn." Miles added. "So I end my turn.

Meanwhile Leo, Luna, Shadow and Cosmo continued watching the duel. Just then Trudge and Mina arrived. "Are you guys alright." Trudge asked. "Yeah we're alright." Leo replied. "What's going on here?" Mina asked.

"Akiza is dueling alongside Miles but they're acting differently." Luna answered. "Its my move I draw." Misty said as she looked at the card she drew which was Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua.

"This duel is over so I activate the spell Advance Force by the effect of this spell Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings counts as two monsters when its sacrificed and lets me summon this little guy so prepare yourself AKiza for the Netherworld as I summon Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua!" Misty proclaimed as the Immortal demon appeared.

"That can't be good." Leo said. "Its not Leo." The female twin added. In the building Yusei and Slippy continued to dodge the fireballs coming from Sayer's spell card.

Yusei then pressed a button his Duel Disk which Sayer didn't notice since dust was clouding where Yusei and Slippy were. "I want to know about the truth about Misty's brother, Sayer!" Yusei asked as he got up on his feet.

"Yeah why are you keeping him hiding from Misty and why did you tell the investigators that Akiza was responsible?" Slippy asked. "I couldn't jeopardize my work with the Arcadia Movement and Akiza's dramatic past made her the perfect scapegoat." Sayer explained. "I remember like it was yesterday.

A flashback scene.

Sayer was with several workers in the room was the same where Mina showed video of a boy that was in the same room.

Toby was in trying to create force field with his Psychic Powers. "Sire the boy's electro-static force field isn't reaching the levels you requested." An employee said. "Give him some time." Sayer said. "But sire we've been at this for hours." Another Employee said agreeing with the other one.

"You're right I guess Toby's potential wasn't quite what we thought, is it." Sayer said. "Ship this subject off with the other failures now." He ordered.

end of flashback scene.

"Toby's Telekinetic abilites wer pathetic he didn't even come close to reaching the high Standards of the Arcadia Movement required but Akiza however was one of my greatest finds she was as strong as she was naive." Sayer said.

"You won't get away with this you're through ruining lives!" Yusei yelled charging at Sayer but he moved out of the way.

"I'm just getting started." Sayer said activating another Hinotama Spell which send Yusei outside but manage to hold onto the stoned stairs. "Still hanging on, are we?" He asked. "Well its time I put an end to that if you thought Akiza was powerful wait till you see want I can do." The Arcadia Leader added just as he was about to play Psychic Sword.

Slippy charged at Sayer but he countered him with Hinotama spell but then something appeared around Slippy's neck it was pendant with blue crystal and it glowed which created a barrier that absorbed the fireball. "What the?" Sayer asked wondering where the fireball went.

Just then he heard Yusei laugh. "Hmm, What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at your Psychic powers and how they didn't pick up on the fact that our entire conversation is being broadcast to Misty." Yusei said getting up on the stone stairs. "How is that possible?" Sayer asked reazling that he's been found out. "Before you started blabbling to me I enabled the live feed function on our Duel Disks." Yusei explained as Sayer saw a light blinking on the champion's duel disk.

Sayer gasped at this and he looked at Misty who apparently heard everything. "Now that I know the truth..that it was you.. I want to know where Toby is!" Misty called out. "Your brother has been sent to a secret location the coordinates of which are ever changing in fact even I don't know where he is." Sayer explained.

Misty was furious. "In that case you're not worth anything to me, so prepare yourself for the Netherworld!"

"Do you think you're strong enough send me to the Netheworld, Misty?" Sayer asked. "No, but my Earthbound Immortal is." The famous Super Model replied as the Immortal Demon grabbed Sayer its lizard tongue and he disappeared causing the gang to gasp in shock. Akiza felt herself being no longer controled by Sayer and Miles fell on his knees after hearing Sayer's confessing.

"Sayer disappeared.. into..that..thing!" Leo proclaimed shaking.

"Dear brother I know you're out there somewhere." Misty said quietly. "Forgive me Akiza and Miles."

Akiza was quiet but she still heard her so did Miles. "Akiza I'm so sorry I blamed you for everything." Misty said looking ashamed as Akiza looked at her. Misty then looked at Miles. "Miles sweetie I'm so sorry for betraying you I should've trusted you more like how you trusted and believed in Akiza."

Miles looked at her face. He realizes that he never should've abandoned her and he felt tears come down his eyes.

"I've decided to forfeit this duel you both will see I'm sincere and maybe in your hearts you can find my brother." Misty said as she prepared to surrender but the an evil voice rang out. "I will never allow you to end this duel."

It was the evil god and then Misty was then covered in a dark aura. "The Darkness controlling me is too powerful... Misty said struggling.

"You must defeat this female Signer and her brother the Starlight King!"

Yusei and Slippy approached them. "Hey Misty you have to fight the darkness inside you!" Slippy called out.

"Hey Akiza, Sayer is no longer controlling you." Yusei called out. "Akiza!"

"I know that voice that's Yusei calling out to me." Akiza said as her eyes returned to normal. "Akiza, Miles, I can't stop this duel with my own will the darkness is too strong!" Misty cried. "Please Misty don't give in!" Miles called out. "Fight it Misty you got fight it for Toby!" Yusei called out.

"Its too powerful Akiza you and brother have to defeat me I can't stop it any longer!" Misty said as the aura comsumed her.

"So instead I'll send you both to the Netheworld!" Evil Misty said. "Oh no the Darkness inside her has taken over her!" Slippy exclaimed. "Akiza and Miles you both have to finish this duel!" Yusei said. "We will." Akzia and Miles said at the same time.

"You both won't doing anything but lose now Ccarayhua attack Akiza!" Evil Misty commanded as the Lizard demon moved its hand towards the female Psychic Duelist. "I activate the trap Ground Breaker with this card the damage I taken is cut in half." Akiza explained.

Akiza: 300

"No Akiza!" Yusei screamed. "Don't worry Yusei I'm not done due the effect my trap I can draw new card from my deck." Akiza added drawing another card.

"It doesn't matter you card you drew cause this duel will be for you and your brother so I place one card facedown and end my turn." Evil Misty said.

"(If either my brother and I defeat Misty she'll be sent to the Netherworld but maybe if I take out that Immortal I can free her from the darkness.)" Akzia thought. "I up draw!"

"Due the ability of the Copy Plant it becomes the same level as Dark Verger till the rounds over." Akiza explained.

Dark Verger Level 2

Copy Plant Level 2

"Next I'm playing Hedge Guard in attack mode!"

Hedge Guard Attack 0

"Now that my Hedge Guard is in play I activate the spell card Shining Rebirth with this in play by sending the required monsters on my field to the graveyard I can summon a Synchro Monster from my graveyard." Akiza added. 'So I send level 2 Dark Verger, Level 2 Copy Plant, and Level 3 Hedge Guard to the graveyard in Synchro Summon your Immortal destruction!"

"Alright Akiza!" Miles cheered. "Now come forth Black Rose Dragon!" Akiza proclaimed.

Black Rose Dragon attack 2400

"When Black Rose Dragon is successfully summoned it can destroy all the cards on the field." Akiza explained. "Also due the effect of Shining Rebirth Black Rose Dragon cannot be destroyed this turn."

"Are you sure you want to do that by defeating me you're defeating Misty." Evil Misty added. "I'm not going after Misty's life point cause I'm activate Black Rose Dragon's ability which destroys all cards on the field including Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua." The Psychic duelist explained.

Black Rose Dragon release its mighty wind. "You thought you outsmarted me but I activate the trap Doom Gazer with this card when an effect that destroys a card on the field is activated for every card that's destroyed and sent to the graveyard you lose 300 life points." Misty explained as the Doom Gazer trap powered up. "So with 8 cards destroyed Akiza you're about lose the last of your life points and this match will be over!"

"I activate my Star Space Snakebot ability by cutting my monsters attack point in half the damage Akiza was going to take is dealt me instead." Miles explained.

The damage is then forced to go right to Miles. Akiza watched in shock but saw Misty the real Misty in the energy blast from the trap and Miles saw her too. "You both listen to me you both owe it to the Signers and keep fighting." Misty said looking at them both. "Are you sure?" Akiza asked sadly. "Yes you both save yourselves." Misty said.

"Ok, play your facedown!" Miles called out. "I activate the trap Nature's Reflection with it I can reflect the damage back to you." Akiza explained as the energy was redirecting back.

"This cannot be aaah!" Misty screamed.

Misty was about to disappear but somehow she had just little strength left and flew towards Miles who was grieving. "Don't sad Miles I'll be alright." She said as she cupped his face with her hands and gave him a short kiss on his lips.

Misty then began to disappear and she flew away. "If you both find my brother then tell him his big sister loves him." She said as she disappeared and her locket fell off.

Misty: 0

The Immortal demon vanished as well. Miles Silver armor was gone but he heard the female voice again. ("She'll be alright my son.)"

He gasped on the last words the female voice said but he knew that wasn't Akiza's mother this female voice was different. Yusei and the others ran over to their friends. "Hey Akiza, Miles." Yusei said. "Are you both alright?" Cosmo asked.

Akiza walked over to the locket where Misty disappeared and Miles followed her. "Where you are two going?" Mina asked.

Akiza picked the locket up and opened it inside was picture of Toby and Misty. Akiza's tears dripped on it. "Toby I'm sorry that I brushed you off when we first met I promise to make up for it." She said sadly as she cupped locket in both of her hands. "I'll do whatever it takes to bring Misty." Miles said quietly.

"Akiza." Yusei said. "Man poor Miles and Akiza." Luna said. "Hey everybody check out the sun!" Leo exclaimed. The sun was down. "Its too late the sun has sent and the tower hasn't been sealed yet." Trudge added. They knew the officer was right.

"At least the people that were absorbed by that Earthbound Immortal will be return." Mina said.

Mina was right the people that were absorbed returned to New Domino City. "Hey we're back." A man said.

"We are indeed." Another man said.

Suddenly the earth was shaking. "Hey why is the earth shaking?" Yusei asked. Then bright light shot out of New Domino City. "Hey over there everybody!" Trudge called out pointing.

"That light is coming from New Domino City!" Mina exclaimed. The light turned into another Dark Signer Mark which looked like a bird. "Another Dark Signer must there." Shadow said. "Who is this new Dark Signer?" Yusei asked. "Who knows Yusei but I have feeling we're about to find out." Akiza said running behind her friends.
