Two down and only ten spirits remain. However, each one has strange abilities and are in strange worlds. Athena is seeing that for herself as well. She was in a place like a coliseum and an even stranger battlefield.

"Where am I?" Athena said.

"Hello there." Athena looked across the battlefield and was met with the eclipse version of Scorpio.

"You're Eclipse Scorpio." Athena said. "What's going on? What is this place?"

"It's a dueling field of course." Eclipse Scorpio said. "You see, unlike the others, I'm more into settling conflict with a card game. If you wish to defeat me like your friends want to defeat the others, you'll have to beat me in this game."

"A game? Who settles such things with a card game? Sounds a little dumb." Athena said. "If you're not going to fight me, I'll just end this now." She held out her hand and tried to use her magic, but she couldn't really sense anything. "What's going on? Why isn't my magic working?"

"Sorry, but I anticipated that." Eclipse Scorpio said. "If you really want to defeat me, you have to defeat me at my own games. A game that utilizes cards, combos, and counters against each other." He snapped his fingers and two sets of decks appeared for them.

"I guess I have no choice. I guess I'll have to play his game." Athena said. "Fine. I accept your little challenge. Let's play your little game."

"Excellent. Guild Battle, begin!" Eclipse Scorpio said. "Let's duel!" Five cards came over for both of them, but Athena saw her cards were blank.

"Hold on. These cards are blank." Athena said. "I don't even know the rules of this little game of yours. How do you expect me to play?"

"I am the rules." Eclipse Scorpio said, but that didn't really help Athena. "Let's begin. First, my draw phase." He said as another card came over to him. "Now my standby phase. I'll start by bringing out Gemini." He tossed two cards on the field and the Eclipse Gemini twins appeared.

"Piri. Piri."

"I'm Gemi"

"And I'm Mini."

"What? What's going on?" Athena said.

"When both of them are brought out on the field, they can wager an attack on your monsters." Eclipse Scorpio said.

"What are you talking about? I don't have any monsters." Athena said.

"Exactly. That means they can attack you directly." Eclipse Scorpio said. The twin combined their power and blasted Athena with some light. Athena wondered what happened and she saw four Sbaertooth symbols near her and saw one went out. "That's what happens when you're attack directly. We both have four lives. When one of us loses all four, you lose."

"I don't think I want to know what happens if I lose." Athena said.

"That's why you need monsters to shield you from those attacks." Eclipse Scorpio said.

"That so? I think I'm starting to get it." Athena said. "However, how am I suppose to fight back? These cards are blank."

"It's your move." Eclipse Scorpio said. Athena took her turn as she drew her card, but it was the same.

"What am I suppose to do?" Athena questioned. "These cards are blank. I don't know how to play them." Athena wasn't sure what to do, but if she can't figure this out, she's done for. "I wish the others were here to help me out." She closed her eyes, but she heard a sound. She looked and saw the cards had images on them, some with her friends on them. "Wait. I get it now. I am the rules must mean you can make the cards look like how you want them to. This might be fun after all. I think I'll start by playing out Rona and Owen." She threw in two cards and Rona and Owen showed up.

"Oh yeah! Who do we fight?" Owen said.

"We're here to help." Rona said.

"Hold on. Those aren't really my friends, are they?" Athena asked.

"No. They're just illusions to give the games some flavor." Eclipse Scorpio said. "I've got to say that wasn't' a bad move for a newbie like you. I can't wait to see what else you do." He was actually shivering with excitement.

"Okay…" Athena said as she thought he was acting weird. "Let's get started with some fun. I deploy a field card." She tossed a third card on the field.

"You don't even know a field card and you're using one. I'm getting excited." Eclipse Scorpio said.

"Let's have some fun. Owen and Rona, take out those two little brats." Athena said.

"No problem." Owen said.

"Of course." Rona said. Rona jumped in and kicked Gemi and Owen blasted Mini with some black lightning.

"Since you beat those two, they go to the celestial world, also known as the discard pile." Eclipse Scorpio said.

"I think that should be enough for this turn." Athena said.

"Not bad, but I wonder how long your luck will last." Eclipse Scorpio said as he drew his next card. "I play Pieces the Fish." The eclipse version of Pieces came out.

"Kappa!"

"And of course when he comes out, his mother can come out automatically and join him." Eclipse Scopio said and the shark of the set arrives on the field.

"Very good. We're the perfect parent and child. Right, sweetie?" The mother asked.

"Shut up, you old hag." Eclipse Pieces said.

"They're mother and son? They don't even look alike." Owen said.

"They might not get along, but they can be quite powerful together." Eclipse Scoprio said. "Watch as they both attack." Both of them started swimming and formed a whirlpool as both of them combined their powers.

"Try and block them." Athena said. Both of them tried to stand in the way of the attack, but both of them got caught in the whirlpool. "I activate my field card: Memory Afterimage. This will save Rona and prevent her from being taken out." Rona disappeared out of the whirlpool and reappeared unharmed, but Owen wasn't so lucky. "Sorry, Owen."

"Not bad, but I'm not done. I activate Celestial Swirl. Now that I have both of them out, you won't be able to destroy them. I'll let you have your turn." Eclipse Scorpio said.

"Thank you." Athena said as she took her turn. "I'll start by bringing out Nova the Lightning Dragon Slayer."

"How's it going?" Nova said as she appeared on the field.

"Next, I'm going to activate Territory Teleport. This allows another friend to join." Athena said. "I'm going with my good friend, Simon Scarlet." Simon was the next one to appear.

"Just tell me who to fight." Simon said.

"More is about to come." Athena said. "When Simon comes out on the field, I can summon out another Fairy Tail wizard named Sasha." Sasha was the next one on the field.

"Glad you could make it." Simon said.

"Like I would miss it." Sasha said.

"Three summons at once! That's so cool!" Eclipse Scorpio said. "Of course, it doesn't matter. You can't destroy those two, at least for this turn."

"There's more. It allows me to draw one card for every Fairy Tail wizard. That's three." Athena said as she took three cards. "Next, I'm activating Meteor Trail. I might not be able to take out your friends this turn, but this card allows Simon to attack you directly."

"Meteor!" Simon said as he flew right past his defenses and bashed against Eclipse Scorpio and took out one of Eclipse Scorpio's lives.

"I think that's enough for this turn." Athena said.

"You've got some skills, but this isn't over yet." Eclipse Scorpio said. "I'll start by sacrificing mother Pieces to summon Taurus the Bull."

"Bye, honey." Mother Pieces said as she vanished.

"Apologies, Master Pieces, to sacrifice your mother for my arrival." Eclipse Taurus said as he appeared.

"I don't really care." Eclipse Pieces said.

"Let the fun begin." Eclipse Scorpio said and Athena knew she had to take defensive action. "Taurus, attack!" Taurus went on the attack and struck Simon as he was taken out. "Pieces, your turn!" Pieces launched his attack and hit Nova with her taken out. "I'm not done. I activate Black Hole to take out another one of your monsters. I choose your fairy friend."

"Me?!" Sasha said. A black hole opened up and she was pulled inside.

"You do have a plan, right?" Rona asked.

"I'm making this up as I go." Athena said. "I better figure something out and beat this guy at his own game." Athena tried to figure it out, but she suddenly realized something. "That might work."

"It's your turn now." Eclipse Scorpio said.

"Thank you." Athena said as she took her next card. "Since I have three Fairy Tail wizards gone, I can bring out Nashi the Fire Dragon Slayer."

"Yeah! Now, I'm fired up!" Nashi said as she appears.

"I summon Shae the Shadow Dragon Slayer." Athena said as she summoned another friend.

"Nothing can escape a shadow dragon." Shae said.

"Now it's our turn to have some fun." Athena said. "Shae and Rona, go! He'll have to block it."

"She's right. I have no choice." Eclipse Scorpio said as both his spirits stepped in. Rona took out Pieces and Shae beat Taurus.

"Your turn Nashi." Athena said.

"This is for my friends!" Nashi said as she flame kicked Eclipse Scorpio and he lost another life.

"Just two more and I win." Athena said.

"Don't get too cocky. I still have a chance." Eclipse Scorpio said as he took his next turn. "I'll start by summoning Leo the Lion."

"Women are the worst." Leo said.

"Hey!" All the girls said.

"Let's see. Attack!" Eclipse Scorpio said.

"Block him, Shae." Athena said. Shae stood in the way of the attack, but was blasted by Leo's dark flames and Shae was taken out.

"There's more. I activate the Dark Regulus." Eclipse Scorpio said. "This card can only be used when Leo is out. It allows him take one of your lives as well as one of your cards. I choose Rona"

"Are you serious?!" Athena said. Leo unleashed more dark flames and blasted Rona and Athena. Rona was gone and Athena lost another life.

"It will be over soon." Eclipse Scorpio said.

"I better think of something or I'm in trouble." Athena said. "Nashi's tough, but I don't know if she can take the lion." She looked at what she had and saw she could still win. "Of course, our greatest strength is when we work together. That's why I'm using Rona's ability. It allows me to bring back one card when she's been destroyed."

"No way!" Eclipse Scorpio said.

"I'm bringing back Shae." Athena said as Shae returned.

"I'm back with a vengeance." Shae said.

"I'm also bringing out this guy." Athena said as she summoned another one and a bright light emerged. "Say hello to Michael the White Dragon Slayer."

"About time I get a turn." Michael said as he turned to Athena and he was practically drooling when he saw a pair of something big. "I like this size difference." Athena saw what he was doing and crossed her arms.

"Eyes forward, perv!" Athena shouted as Shae smacked him in the face.

"If you say so." Michael said.

"Those three can't stop me!" Leo said.

"Think again. I'm activating Holy Shadow Dragon. With Shae and Michael on the field, all your cards on the field are destroyed." Athena said. Both of them combined their powers for their best attack.

"Holy Shadow Dragon Flash Fang!" They both used their attack and Leo couldn't stop it as he was blown and destroyed by the attack. That left Eclipse Scorpio completely defenseless.

"Nashi, let him have it!" Athena said.

"Fire Dragon Roar!" Nashi used her breath attack and blasted the kid.

"Michael, finish it!" Athena said.

"You got it!" Michael said as he used a powerful blast of light and hit Eclipse Scorpio.

"No way!" Eclipse Scorpio said as he was blown back and lost is little game with him being knocked out.

"Way to go." Athena said.

"Well, we had a great leader." Michael said. It might have been an illusion, but it still felt real with Athena blushing. The game was over and Eclipse Scorpio was turned to stardust. Athena relaxed as she fell back and sit.

"What a relief. Still, it was actually a fun game." Athena said and another spirit has been beaten.

Simon

Simon went through one of the doors himself, but his area was a little different. It looked like some sort of set design.

"Where am I?" Simon questioned.

"You're in my domain." Simon looked across the field and was met with the eclipse version of Sagittarius.

"You're the one the other version of the one called Sagittarius, am I right?" Simon said.

"That's right." Sagittarius said. "I'm actually glad that you're here, young warrior, for I challenge you." Athena may have won her little game, but Simon is being challenged now and this might not be a friendly match.
