"Wait a minute, how do we know this isn't another trick Goodwin's trying to pull?" Angel asked. "He did lie in order to get us to duel the dark signers."

"Yeah, but I have a feeling this is different. Don't forget that Goodwin isn't the one who gave us these files, I have a feeling we can trust them." Yusei said.

"I agree, but just to be safe, hand them over Yusei." Sky said.

"Alright, good point Sky." Yusei said while handing her the papers.

"Alright, let's see." Sky said. "Knowing Goodwin he'll have put a huge amount of emphasis on the signers and the Crimson Dragon itself, but this only mentions the Crimson Dragon twice."

"That doesn't sound like Goodwin, was there anything else he was interested in?" Jack asked.

"I don't know, but I do know that this might be the key to stopping Zerlo." Luna said. "We just need to figure out how to make it work."

"Lord Zerlo, what are we going to do about the girl?" asked the imp creature.

"Don't worry, I have everything under control." Zerlo said calmly. "All we need is the right bait, and I have the perfect thing in mind. Tell Novaz that he's to report to me within the hour."

"Of course my Lord." The imp said before running out of the room.

"I can't believe my luck, to think I would find the one person with the power I need, and all I need is him and she'll come running." Zerlo said. "I've waited for millennia, I can wait a little while longer."

"You wanted to see me Lord Zerlo?" asked a figure in a black robe.

"Ah yes, Novaz, I have a job for you, I need you to capture someone. A boy by the name of Leo." Zerlo said before creating a picture out of thin air. "This is your target, bring him to me and I'll reward you handsomely. Fail, and you won't live to regret it."

"You doubt my talents my Lord?" Novaz asked. "I have never failed you before, I'll certainly bring you the child."

"I'm counting on it Novaz." Zerlo said before Novaz left the room to begin his hunt.

"Ryosko, I feel the time is fast approaching, we should reveal ourselves soon." Levran said.

"I'm not sure, they definitely have a chance, but we need to make sure they can handle things themselves." Ryosko said. "You've overestimated things before."

"I'll admit I have, but this is different. I've been keeping a close eye on this group, I'm positive they have the potential to stop Zerlo." Levran said.

"I'll take you at your word then." Ryosko said.

"Luna, maybe it would be a good idea for you to tell us what Zerlo said, maybe it can give us a clue as to how we can beat him." Crow said.

"He didn't say much, all I learned was that the three Forgotten Ones are named Zerlo, Ryosko, and Levran." Luna said. "Oh and that they controlled three things life, darkness, and potential."

"Wait a second, did you say potential?" Jack asked. "Could that be what Goodwin meant?"

"I think so Jack, the only question is how can we achieve this Crimson Potential in time?" Angel asked.

"Excuse me, is your name Leo?" asked a young man in a dark red suit. "I'm looking for a child who's supposed to be a great duelist, all I know is his name is Leo."

"I'm an ok duelist, I'm getting a lot better thanks to my friends though." Leo said.

"Interesting, would you mind allowing me a quick match, I've been getting into the game recently so I wanted to see how I would do against someone who's part of a championship team." The man said calmly.

"Alright, sounds fun." Leo said with a grin.

"Leo, maybe we can reschedule this match, we have something we need to take care of right now." Sky said.

"It'll be fine Sky, don't forget we already know more than they expect." Yusei said.

"Well, in that case what do you say to a duel Leo?" the man asked.

"Sure thing, oh yeah, you never mentioned your name." Leo said.

"My name is Nathanial, but people call me Nate." The man said.

"Alright let's have a good match Nate." Leo said with a grin.

"Duel." said Leo and Nate simultaneously.

Leo 4000 Nate 4000: "I'll go first, and I activate my Dragon Cage field spell." Nate said as a golden cage surrounded both players. "Next I summon Stealth Hunter in attack mode and end my turn with two cards facedown."

"Whoa, I've never seen cards like those." Leo said excitedly.

"Most people say that when I duel them." Nate said.

"Alright, in that case I'll play three facedown cards, and next I summon Morphtronic Radion, and now I attack your Stealth Hunter." Leo said.

"I play Stealth Hunters effect, now whenever he's engaged in battle, we count the number of facedown cards on the field, and he gains 100 attack points for each one." Nate said. "That puts him at 2100, more than your Morphtronic."

"I should have seen that coming." Leo said as his life points decreased. "Ok, I'll end my turn."

Leo 3700 Nate 4000: "My move then, I reveal the trap card Tracking, now until the end phase all Hunter monsters can attack you directly." Nate said. "So I think I'll play an old favorite, Hunter Dragon, now I attack with both of my monsters."

"Not so fast, I play the trap Morphtronic Emergency, now I can summon a Morphtronic from my deck, and force you to attack it before you hit my life points." Leo said. "So I'll play Boomboxen in defense mode."

"I play a trap of my own, Hunter's Folly, now I pay 1000 life points, and in exchange all cards on your field are destroyed, and my monsters gain 300 attack points each. Though at the end of my turn they're all destroyed." Nate said. "Now I attack."

"Whoa, that's incredible." Jack said as the attacks hit dropping Leo to zero life points.

"Wait a second you guys, Kuribon says something bad is happening." Luna said as the smoke began to clear. "Oh no, where's Leo?"

(Leo is missing, and nobody knows where he is. Next chapter Luna will realize a new power that could change everything, and Crow will acquire the second card. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
