Ichigo awoke in a small dark room on the cold hard floor, with only a computer on a desk in front of her. It was most likely the basement of a building, as there were no windows, and only one door out. As she rubbed her eyes, she saw that Masaya was gone. "Hello? Anyone?! Masaya, where are you?!" She staggered to her feet and ran for the door, but found it to be locked tightly on the other side. She turned back to the computer desk, seeing that the computer was on and showing something on its screen. As she walked around it, she saw that it was on Microsoft Word, and had a document opened that contained instructions. "Huh? Instructions?"
You are trapped. There is no easy way in. There is no easy way out. Your boyfriend is with me.
The only way out is to defeat me in a duel. If you lose, you will become a mind slave of Deep Blue, and I kill your boyfriend. The door in this room is locked, but it will soon open from the other side through the use of one of my own mind slaves. You will be lead into the chamber where our duel will take place. I wish you luck, Momomiya Ichigo.
-Drun Waynon
"What the hell is this?" Ichigo then saw the door open in front of her. Indeed, two of Drun's so-called mind slaves came out and led her into the next room. As she walked in, she saw that the room was slightly larger, but was still largely a storage room with boxes cleared out to make a small dueling arena of sorts. Inside was Drun himself, as well as several mind-slaves, all of whom had dead eyes and neutral expressions. Ichigo addressed Drun harshly, asking him, "Where the hell is my boyfriend?! Tell me now!"
"He's behind me," Drun revealed to her as he stepped aside. Strung up on the wall before her was Masaya, held to the wall by straps and unconscious. "If you lose, he dies." He then readied his duel disk, ready to fight.
Ichigo then pulled her pendant out of her pocket. "If it's a duel you want, it's a duel you'll get!" Her pendant glowed a bright pink before she was enveloped in light.
In the blink of an eye, Dark Ichigo emerged. She turned her duel disk on and set it to Duel Mode. "I'm locked and loaded!" The two both drew their starting hands and begun their duel. "I'll go first," Dark Ichigo stated as she drew her first card to add to her hand. "I summon Elemental HERO Prisma, with 1700 attack! I then set one card and end my turn!"
"My turn," Drun replied to her as he drew his first card. "I activate Ancient Rules, allowing me to summon Dark Red Enchater, with 1700 attack! However, it also is summoned to the field with two Magic Counters on it. I also add another Magic Counter when any Magic Card is activated and resolved on the field. For every Magic Counter on it, it gains 300 attack. Thus, it currently has 2300 attack! I then set a monster and another card. Now, Dark Red Enchater, attack her Elemental HERO Prisma!" Dark Red Enchater then aimed its scepter at Prisma, destroying it with a spell it cast in an unknown language.
DARK ICHIGO: 3400
DRUN: 4000
Dark Ichigo was prepared, however. "Reverse Card Open! Call Of The Haunted! I return Elemental HERO Prisma to the field in Attack Position from my graveyard!" As Prisma returned to the field, she then declared. "Now, it's my turn! I draw!" She then looked over her hand. "I summon Elemental HERO Wildheart, with 1500 attack! I then activate the Field Magic Card Skyscraper! From now on, if any Elemental HERO monsters attack, and their attack is lower than the attack of the monster they're going against, they gain 1000 attack points during damage calculation!"
"Activating Magic Cards like that is reckless," DRUN warned her. "My Dark Red Enchanter is now at 2600 attack, and has three Magic Counters on it!"
"It won't matter soon," Dark Ichigo replied. "Elemental HERO Prisma, attack his Dark Red Enchanter! Elemental HERO Wildheart, attack his set monster!" Sure enough, the effect of Skyscraper kicked in, allowing Prisma to destroy Dark Red Enchanter with 100 attack points to spare. His set monster was also destroyed.
DARK ICHIGO: 3400
DRUN: 3900
"Reverse Card Open," Drun declared. "Magician Navigation! I get to Special Summon a Dark Magician from my hand, and Special Summon another Level 7 or lower Spellcaster from my deck!"
"Dark Magician?!" Dark Ichigo was startled to hear that he actually possessed the card. "That card is incredibly rare!"
Sure enough, Dark Magician and Chaos Command Magician (with 2400 attack) appeared on the field before her, intimidating her two Elemental HERO monsters. "You're finished now! My turn!" Drun then drew a card. "I set another monster card. Now, Dark Magician, Chaos Command Magician, attack her monsters! First, Dark Magician, set your sights on Elemental HERO Wildheart! Black Magic!" Dark Magician then stuck its hand out and emitted a spell that obliterated Wildheart. "And now, Chaos Command Magician, destroy Prisma!" Chaos Command Magician did largely the same, and Wildheart dissolved into thin air.
DARK ICHIGO: 1800
DRUN: 3900
It was now Dark Ichigo's turn again. She was up against one of the most powerful non-Fusion or non-Ritual Spellcaster monsters in the game, and she had few options as she drew her next card, or did she?
She looked at the card she drew and breathed a sigh of relief. "Well then, looks like I can survive. Magic Card Activate! Polymerization! I fuse two Elemental HERO monsters in my hand to call upon Elemental HERO Nova Master, with 2600 attack!" She thought to herself as she pulled the card from her Extra Deck in her garter belt pocket, "Getting those new Fusions was a good idea!" As Nova Master came to the field, Dark Ichigo explained its effect. "If Nova Master destroys a monster you control, I get to draw a card! Now, Nova Master, attack the Dark Magician!" Nova Master proceeded to incinerate the Dark Magician, removing the biggest threat on the field so far.
DARK ICHIGO: 1800
DRUN: 3800
"I end my turn," she declared. "Now, go on with your turn!"
"I shall," Drun replied to her, now getting worried about the monster she had summoned. "I switch my remaining face-up monster to defense position. I then summon Apprentice Magician in defense position as well. I end my turn." He thought to himself as he looked over the field, "I'll have to go on the defensive. I have three monsters as my wall for now."
"My turn," Dark Ichigo declared as she drew a card. "I summon Elemental HERO Sparkman! I then activate H-Heated Heart. I target my Elemental HERO Nova Master, boosting its attack to 3100 until my turn ends and giving it the ability to inflict damage to you even when a monster is in defense position! Now, Heated Heart, destroy Apprentice Magician! As for you, Sparkman, attack his set monster!"
DARK ICHIGO: 1800
DRUN: 1500
Both of the monsters selected were destroyed with ease by Dark Ichigo's monsters. "You won't last much longer," she explained to him.
Drun ignored her and drew a card, smiling as he did so. "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Magician!" He then pulled his graveyard out from his duel disk and selected the necessary card from it, placing it on the field once more. "I then activate Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two more cards!" As he looked at the cards he drew, he laughed, earning some confusion from Dark Ichigo. "Now, I can turn this duel around! I activate Polymerization, fusing Dark Magician with Buster Blader to call upon my most powerful monster!"
Dark Ichigo realized immediately what monster he was talking about. "Wait a minute! I know what you're talking about!"
"Go, Dark Paladin!" As the intimidating and mighty Dark Paladin formed on the field, Dark Ichigo looked ok with worry. "Now that it has arrived on the field, I can finally wipe you out! Dark Paladin, attack Nova Master!" Dark Paladin then emitted a wave of energy from its staff, which decapitated and destroyed Nova Master.
DARK ICHIGO: 1500
DRUN: 1500
"I end my turn, Drun confidently replied.
"I better draw a good God damn card," Dark Ichigo thought to herself as she drew her next card and looked at it. As she did, she realized she had gotten her wish. "I... I did it! If only I had drawn this card earlier, though. Either way, this will win me the game!" I switch all my remaining monsters to defense position and set one Magic or Trap card, ending my turn!"
"Giving up already? I'm disappointed," Drun amusingly remarked to her. "Oh well, you'll be a Mind Slave in no time, just like the rest. I switch Apprentice Magician to attack position and then summon Breaker the Magical Warrior! With this force, we'll be able to flatten you soon!" He was incredibly confident, to the point of cockiness, over what he presumed would be an easy victory. "Now, Dark Paladin, attack!"
Just as Dark Paladin was about to raise his staff once more, Dark Ichigo smiled and revealed her surprise. "Reverse Card Open! Magic Cylinder!"
"WHAT?!"
"I redirect the attack right at you directly," Dark Ichigo declared to him. "Since Dark Paladin has 2900 attack, you're finished!" Dark Paladin redirected his staff at Drun himself, blasting him to the floor with a wave of energy and causing him to scream in pain as he lost the duel.
DARK ICHIGO: 1500 (WINS)
DRUN: 0000 (LOSES)
Drun said to himself as he stood up and the full weight of his loss began to hit him, "I... No... Impossible..."
"Don't go," Dark Ichigo angrily yelled at him, her rage now reaching incomprehensible levels. "I'm not finished with you yet!" She bared her teeth at him as her Mew Mark appeared on her forehead, indicating she was using the power of the Shadow Games. "You imprisoned innocent people and brainwashed them into being your puppets, and then you tried to do the same to me and my boyfriend! The Gods will not be kind to you when it comes time for your heart to be judged!"
Drun, confuses and horrified at her tone of voice and her anger, whimpered to her, "I... What... What the fu-?"
"The door to darkness has been opened," Dark Ichigo sinisterly told him. "And you will be lead to Hell through it! It's time for you to atone!" She then stuck her right hand out at him and yelled, "Mind Crush!"
Immediately, Drun screamed as he was surrounded by a photonegative light, which then shattered to pieces as he was flung backwards into the wall behind him. As he crumpled to the ground, he was clearly dead, and Masaya began to come to in his restraints nearby his body. "Huh? Ichigo? Where are we?"
Dark Ichigo transformed back into normal Ichigo as she ran over to undo the restraints. "Masaya! You're awake!" As she reached him and began to untie the ropes that held him to the wall, she explained to him, "We got kidnapped and brought down to this basement in some building. The other me defeated the Cyniclon that kidnapped us and killed him. He apparently did this to a whole bunch of people that he used as brainwashed puppets he called Mind Slaves."
Sure enough, the Mind Slaves Drun had inside the room began to slowly come to and look around, all wondering where they were. One woman said to herself, "Ugh... My head hurts... Where am I?"
