On the outskirts of Germany, the story of another was once also unfolding, unknown to her, she would play a bigger role than even she realized in the upcoming return of the shadow games. The young girl was currently pacing back and forth. She wore a black tank-top, blue jeans and on the side of her pants was the case for a duel deck. She was a young blonde female who seemed to be from America but, had moved to Germany and her family was in dire straights right now since her father's firing at the hands of Schroeder Corp. "Sweetie you've got mail!" A male voice shouted as an older male walked into the room. "This was her father, Frank Lockhart. "GIMMIE!" She shouted quickly snatching the package from her father who laughed. "Easy Abigail, it's not like its going to grow legs and walk away," Frank said with a laugh. "Did our little girl get her package?" Came the voice of one Amanda Lockhart as she walked into Abigail blushing. "MOOOOOM! I'm a teenager now don't call me that!" Abigail whined causing her family to laugh.
"Well go on Sweetie, open it." She said as Abigail slowly opened the package and inside was a deck and a letter as Abigail quickly pulled out the letter reading over it before. "YES! YES! YES! My Zodiac's were approved by Industrial Illusions!" Abigail screamed jumping in the air with glee. "Well, at least something is going our way finally." Amanda said with a small smile as Abigail opened the deck going through them and looked over the decklist that came with it and grinned. "This is all of them oh my god..." Abigail muttered.
"I don't get it, sweetheart, how will this help us out of our situation?" Frank questioned. "Simple dad, I'm entering the local tournament coming up." Abigail said as both parents let out a "WHAT?!" as Frank spoke. "Sweetheart I understand you wanna help but, you know very little about this game!" Frank argued. "Yes but, I'M NOT GONNA LET THAT DOUCHE SCHROEDER GET THE LAST LAUGH! I'm getting us out of this even if this is my first tournament." Abigail declared as both parents sighed after looking at each other. "Alright, just be careful sweetie.." Amanda stated. "I will BYE MOM! BYE, DAD! SEE YOU AFTER THE TOURNAMENT!" Abigail shouted zooming out the door as both parents sighed shaking their heads with a smile.
As she was racing off to the tournament, she was currently blissfully unaware of the twelve spirits following behind her as she had been chosen by destiny. Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aries, Scorpio, Gemini, Capricorn, Pisces, Libra and a mysterious snake looking creature as well, the thirteen Zodiac spirits she designed her self. "So this is our chosen duelist..." The Lion, Leo muttered looking at Abigail was racing towards the tournament. "You seem upset Leo?" Taurus mentioned causing Leo to hmph. "She doesn't look like she could duel her way out of a wet paper bag." Leo scoffed as Taurus shook his head. "Regardless she is our welder and a great destiny awaits her," Taurus explained. "There you go with that destiny crap again..." Leo grumbled.
Once arriving she looked around in awe seeing arena out the rear, above the seats were posters "Current Male WCS Champion, Seto Kaiba" and "Current Female WCS Champion, Jennifer Banks" from what she knew about those two, no one had been able to beat them and it had reached the point that when they faced in the WCS the duel arena had exploded. "Jennifer Banks huh, enjoy that throne because I will be dethroning you soon enough," Abigail said tightening her fist in determination. "Are you here to enter the tournament?" A voice said as Abigail turned around and spotted the figure with a grin handing out her decklist. "Yes, sir." She said as the man began going over the decklist as she handed her deck to the other one who was skimming through her deck.
"The newly approved Zodiac's, huh, you must be the one who designed and made them." One said as Abigail smiled rubbing a finger under her nose before the guard nodded. "Everything checks out, head to duel field 5, once the Quarter-Finalists have been decided we will broadcast the remaining of this local tournament." He explained as Abigail froze up. "B-Broadcast as in on T.V?" She asked as the guard nodded causing Abigail to let out an oh boy... before heading off to the duel field. Once getting on it the platform rose her to where the field would be as she gulped, this was going to be nerve-wracking.
The Qualifiers of the local tournament but, Abigail was able to come out on top each time as she was slowly learning how her deck that she designed worked as the Quarter finals had arrived as a strange egyptian women was in the shadows watching as a strange necklace around her neck glowed. "So...destiny has made its mark on you Ms. Lockhart.." The women said disappearing further into the crowd as they were losing it getting ready for the Quarter finals.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the Quarter-Finals of the Germany local Duel Monsters tournament is about to begin!" The announcer shouted spinning the microphone around. "In the red corner, we have a man who has been known to overwhelm and overpower his opponents with his warrior monsters! He is the Elemental Hero Tactician! Be ready folks because a storm is brewing for this tournament, please welcome to the red dueling field TEEEED STORM!" The announcer shouted. The young man walked forward getting onto the duel stage as he looked around trying to cool his nerves he had been to tournaments before but, ones with the stakes this one had, not so much. "And his opponent, a girl seeming to have come out of nowhere for this tournament who is looking to win it all for his family. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Zodiac Mistress, ABIGAIL LOCKHART!" The announcer shouted as in the spirits Leo simply scoffed at her nickname as the young women slowly made her way to the duel arena as the stage rose as she placed her deck in its location on the field.
"Ladies and gentlemen one of these two are going home tonight and the other is moving onto the Semi-Finals! Only one duelist can emerge from this the top-ranked duelist in Germany to gain the right to move onto the Regionals! Let the duel BEGIN!" The announcer shouted as both duelist eyes went serious mode. "DUEL!" The two shouted and the quarter finals were on.
Ted Storm: 8,000 LP
Abigail Lockhart: 8,000 LP.
"Now before the first card is played, allow me to introduce the man of the hour! The Creator of Duel Monsters and the owner of Industrial Illusions! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Mister, Maximillion PEGASUS!" The announcer shouted as the camera's panned up to a strange man in a red outfit, white hair holding a glass of wine and waved down with a small smile as his eye shined gold. "NOW DUELISTS BEGIN!" The announcer shouted as the two of them drew their first five cards. "Ladies first Storm." Abigail stated with a cheeky grin drawing her 6th card looking over her hand, it was still hard to belive out of all the duelists she had made it to the last three duels. Her hands were shaking, she didn't know why. Was this...stage fright? It had to be Abigail had never been a big time duelist. She played for fun but this kind of level but this, this was a whole new stage for her, the stakes couldn't be any higher. Ted noticed this and spoke up. "Hey! Lockhart. Take a breath, calm down. A clear mind gives you the best chances to win. Relax and have fun kid." He said with a small smile.
"I wish I could kid, but, this is for my family's livelihood I'm sorry but, I have to win this! Alright first up, I'm going to summon this! Come Forth, Spirit of the Maiden In attack mode!" Abigail shouted slapping the card onto the duel arena as suddenly the hologram lit up as a strange women in a dark garb, in her hands were two whips made of what looked like earth as she sheathed the blades ready to strike.
Spirit of the Maiden[1900/1500]
"What on earth is that...I've never seen this card before.." He mused. Abigail grinned rubbing under her nose. "These cards are of my own creation, I put my whole soul into creating them." Abigail said with a proud smile. He chuckled softly. "Impressive. I can sense a strong untapped potential in ya kid. You'll go far. But before we continue, you mentioned your family. What's going on?" He questioned. Abigail tightened her fist. "My father, he worked for Schroeder Corp but, his pay was once again dropped just because Kaiba Corp beat him to the punch of virtual reality." She stated slamming her fist down. "We were barely getting by before and now.." She stated. "Schroeder Corp you say? You mean the gaming company?" He questioned, Abigail nodded softly.
"Ooh...I've heard some ugly stuff about their rivalry with Seto Kaiba. What else happened kid?" He questioned. "Well hes basicly had to take all of his abused I want my dad out of this, I can't let him take this anymore! This is why I have to win!" Abigail stated. "Damn...and here I am just coming into this thing for vital experience and potential glory. Shit, now I feel bad girl. I wish I could help ya out" He stated. "Sorry kid, but, I can't lose this. Now I'll activate "Spirit of the Maiden"'s effect and add one King's cross to my hand." She said as she pulled the card from her deck to her hand. Now, I'll lay this card face down and end my turn!" She stated placing the card in the spell and trap card zone as the crowd was murmuring after hearing the story.
"Interesting cards. All right then, my move! I draw!" Ted stated drawing his next card and grumbled. 'of all the duels to get a good hand...' he grumbled to himself. 'I hate moral dilemmas, I freaking hate them..' He thought to himself, pulling a card. "First I'll set a card of my own face down. Then I'll summon Elemental HERO Heat in attack mode." He stated as the the monster emerged from a pillar of fire punching the air before letting out a cry.
Elemental Hero The Heat[1600/1200]
"I can sense it you seem conflicted Ted, is something wrong?" Elemental Hero The Heat questioned. He let out a sigh. "It's this girl we're facing Heat. She's dueling pretty much to keep her family financially secure. I want us to win, but I don't want the poor kid's family to suffer.." Ted muttered. "There is actually more to her than meets the eye Ted, her destiny and ours link up, what I feared may be returning." Heat stated. "Hm? What are you getting at?" Ted questioned. "Yep, I do." Ted stated with a nod not sure what is going on. "This Abigail, I am sensing the spirit of the Nameless Pharaoh's Medjay in her like hers and the Medjay's destiny are linked, Don't hold back Ted not even for one second." Heat stated. "All right then. I will do my best my friend." Ted stated.
"We are about to test her big time, your hand Ted, I can feel it you have the means to bring out my comrade Absolute Zero don't you?" Heat questioned. He nodded. "I do." He informed his friend. "Very well." Ted stated pulling the materials from his hands. 'whos the hell is he talking to the air?' Abigail pondered to herself. "First, sorry Abigail I don't trust your face down so I play this, R- Righteous Justice. Now for every Elemental Hero I have on the field I can destroy one trap card and I chose your face down!" Ted shouted as Zodiac Armament - Spellcaster's Knowledge exploded going to the graveyard. "Well played my friend, you know what's next." Heat commented.
"Alright now I activate the spell from my hand Polymerization, fusing together Elemental Heroes Ocean and Wildheart! Come Forth, My Icey friend, ELEMENTAL HERO ABSOLUTE ZERO!" Ted shouted slapping the card down onto the field as suddenly a pillar of ice appeared before out of it smashed Elemental Hero Absolute Zero who crossed his arms. "Welcome to the party Zero." Heat commented as Zero simply nodded, the cold silent type.
Elemental Hero Absolute Zero[2500/2000]
"Alright Elemental Hero The Heat! Attack Spirit Of the Archer with flaming Fists!" Ted shouted as the heat reved up his hands before launching a wave of fire towards the archer who let out a scream as Abigail held up her hands. "The Heat! Ugh, why dose this feel so real its only holograms..." Abigail growled not noticing a golden eye glowing from the stand where Pegasus was sitting.
Abigail Lockhart: 7500 LP
Ted Storm: 8000 LP
"What the?!" Elemental Hero The Heat questioned. "No Absolute Zero! ABSOLUTE FROST AND ATTACK HER DIRECTLY!" Ted shouted his order. "No wait Ted!" Heat shouted but it was to late as Absolute Zero punched the ground letting lose a glacier as Abigail Shivered. "C-C-C-Cold..." She whimpered to herself as she lost 2500 life points
Abigail Lockhart: 5000 LP
Ted Storm: 8000 LP
"What the... Abigail, you okay kid?" Ted asked in concern. "I...I think so...why, why did that life point damage feel...real?" Abigail questioned as Heat's eyes widened. "Oh no..." Heat muttered."Someone's using Shadow Magic around here but I can't pinpoint who, be careful ted, every damage we inflict or have inflicted to us will be real from now on." Absolute Zero commented. "How can this be.." Ted questioned. "Its the shadow games but, this kind of pain, only one type of magic can inflict this." Heat stated. "You don't think-" Absolute Zero asked as Heat shook his head. "I don't think my friend, I know." Heat stated.
"Keep going." They heard and turned to see Abigail slowly regaining her balance from the pain. "What in the name of Ra?! Absolute Zero did you hold back on that attack?!" Heat asked. "no..." Absolute Zero stated as Abigail was panting. 'well, this duel just got interesting.' Ted muttered to himself with a grin. "Ted keep that duelist blood in check this is serious!" Heat snapped.
"Alright, Turn end." Ted stated as Abigail placed a hand on her deck. "MY turn DRAW!" Abigail snapped drawing her next card. "Spirit of the ram, not sure what this does but, i Can get another kings cross from my deck but, what do they do?!" Abigail pondered to herself. "My turn than, I'll start by summoning Spirit Of The Ram to the feild!" Abigail snapped slapping the card onto the field before a goat looking creature weilding a hammer arrived ready to strike.
Spirit Of The Ram[1800/500]
"Now thanks to Spirit Of The Ram, I can add another Kings Cross to my hand!" Abigail stated as the card flew out of her deck into her hand. "Turn end." Abigail stated as Ted nodded. "My turn, DRAW!" Ted shouted drawing his next card and nodded. "Afraid this duel is mine Abigail. Sorry kid." Ted stated with a grin.
"FIrst, Absolute Zero, take out Spirit Of The Ram! Absolute Frost!" Ted shouted as Absolute Zero nodded and let lose a blast of ice that began shivering Abigail again destroying her ram taking 700 life points from her.
Abigail Lockhart: 4300 LP
Ted Storm: 8000 LP
"Now, Elemental Hero The Heat, attack Abigail Directly with FLAMING FISTS!" Ted shouted as the creature reved up his fists before letting lose a flame as Abigail held her hand up embracing the heat as she lost 2,000 Life Points.
Abigail Lockhart: 2300 LP
Ted Storm: 8000 LP
Abigail panted, the shadow magic was strong but, she would NOT lose here. "That...All?!" She growled as Ted blinked in shock. "Not quite, now I activate one of my cards I had designed, Heroes Repeat! When this card is played I can chose one monster on the feild to attack again and I chose Elemental Hero The Heat! Now He can attack you directly again! GO! FLAMING FISTS!" Ted shouted as the creature revved up his fists before letting lose a flame as Abigail held her hand up embracing the heat as she lost 2,000 Life Points.
Abigail Lockhart: 300 LP
Ted Storm: 8000 LP
"Now my turns done." Ted said with a grin as Abigail slowly looked up. Ted normally would be happy to have such a commanding lead, but not in this case due to what he knew about Abbi. "Heat...man, I want us to win, but I feel like a jerk. I...I can't take away her family livelihood.." He muttered. Suddenly, Abigail spoke. "I am not gonna lose now I've come to far to saving my family to let this duel go without a fight MY TURN!" Abigail said placing her card on her deck as Ted blinked. "I've put my very soul into these cards, they are my life, I trust them as they will trust me Zodiac's if you can hear me help me out, DRAW!" She shouted drawing her next, what could be final card.
"Well kiddo, that might've been your last draw. Let's see what ya got, because even though you're losing badly, I've enjoyed what you've shown me." Ted replied, smiling warmly. Abigail opened her eyes and looked to the card and her determined look got even better as she smiled. "Time to turn this duel around!" Abigail stated. Ted grinned. "From the sound of things, ya got a good card. Show me." He stated. "I activate the magic of Polymerization!" Abigail shouted as The Elemental Heroes were taken back. "Wait a moment, the spirit forms weren't their true forms?!" He questioned. Than it hit him. "Oh...shit..." He finally said.
"Fusions.. I should've guessed." He chuckled. "I fuse from my hand Spirit Of The Serpent and Kings Cross Come forth ZODIAIC SPIRIT- MASTER OPHIUCUS!" Abigail shouted slapping the card into the field as suddenly, a purple smoke covered the field as a snake like hiss to those who could see duel monster spirits could be come. "SOOOOO Your the Hero Duelist that has been giving Abigail so much trouble." The voice hissed almost like a snake ready to strike its prey. Ted shrugged. "Hey, I'm just here for a friendly game dude." He replied calmly. "Well let's see how friendly you feel now!" It snarled before suddenly a giant purple snake like creature appeared letting out a roar as Heat and Absolute Zero flinched. "By Ra this one was able to summon HIM?!" Heat questioned.
Zodiac Spirit- Master Ophiucus[4500/3500]
"4500 attack points. Impressive! Excellent move Abby!" He praised, giving her a smile. "Now Master Ophiuchus! Take out Absolute Zero with ZODIAC BLAST!" Abigail shouted. "With pleasure!" He snarled as the beam formed in his mouth letting lose a huge blast right at Absolute Zero who screamed before being destroyed as the remaining 2000 went right to Ted as Direct damage as Pegasus's eye once again glowed unknown to either duelist or the spirits. Ted grunted in pain, feeling the blast as though it were real. "Okay, that didn't exactly tickle.." He deadpanned. "Ted are you okay?" Abigail questioned as she saw him grunt what exactly was going on as Ophichus pulled back in shock as he knew that look. "The damage is...real? Okay whos using shadow magic?!" Ophichus wondered in a hiss.
Ted Storm: 6000 LP
Abigail Lockhart: 300
Ted grunted, looking around as a faint glimmer of light from a mysterious Eye of some sort caught his attention. "Gee I don't know, maybe the fella with the gold eyeball?" He drawled, not aware of exactly what it was yet. "Eye?" Ophiuchus questioned turning to where Ted had looked. "The Millenium Eye?! No this is-" Ophiuchus started before a wave of ice engulfed him destroying. "MASTER OPHIUCHUS!" Abigail shouted.
"Sorry bout that kiddo. When Zero goes to the grave, he takes your monsters for the ride.." Ted smiled sheepishly. "Oh well so I guess thats game..." She said shrugging but anyone whos anyone would notice Abigail's grin on her face. Ted may not have known Abby long but his duelist's intuition told him that this wasn't over just yet.. "Or is it?" He teased playfully. "Alright you got me its not because see by Zero's effect you've activated Zodiac Spirit- Master Ophiucus's special ability." Abigail explained with a grin. It was come back time. "Ah boy, that doesn't sound good. What's he got?" He smiled.
"When he goes to the grave I am allowed to add back One Kings Cross to my hand." Abigail said as the card flew from her graveyard back to her hand. "And I can special Summon Spirit Of The Serpent, Come back Spirit!" Abigail shouted as the field lit up before a spirit of a serpent like snake appeared with a hiss.
Spirit Of The Serpent[3500/2500]
"You have a thing for serpents don't ya kid?" He teased. "Just this one and that means I got one more attack this turn." Abigail said as the Serpent coiled up ready to strike. "But that means.." Ted muttered, "Spirit of the Serpent, take out Elemental Hero The Heat! SERPENT STRIKE!" She shouted as suddenly the creature zoomed around Heat and wrapped him in its grasp before squeezing it and than went and chopped on Ted's arm for the remaining life point damage.
Ted Storm: 4800 LP
Abigail Lockhart: 300
Ted groaned in pain. "Ya mind defanging him? I don't exactly carry anti-venom kiddo." He joked, chuckling. "Aww he's harmless in this form unless you'd rather face Ophiucus's again." She giggled. "Um, no thanks maybe another time." He grinned. "Alright I'll end my turn." Abigail stated as the Serpent coiled up hissing. "And with that I end my turn." Abigail stated with a grin. "Alright, my turn. I draw." Ted stated drawing his next card. Once he drew and saw the card a voice spoke. "Hey Ted, was wondering when I would get some breathing room from the deck." The female voice said as next to him appeared the card he drew. Elemental Hero Lady Heat.
"Heh Lady Heat, good to see you old friend." Ted stated. "Your not really due to whats going on in this duel Ted, I can sense it. something troubling you?" She questioned. "I can see, normally I would say don't play me but it looks like she still has enough Life Points to survive one turn of my abilities, however, this meeting wasn't just a chance meeting Ted. " Lady Heat stated. "It wasn't chance? What do you mean?" He asked. "The Shadow games are returning I don't know how yet or why but, I can tell you and her will play a big part in stopping them along with another group." Lady Heat explained.
"Lovely, supernatural shit." He laughed. "So the choices is yours Ted, play me face up or face down I will not judge you either way." Lady Heat said disappearing leaving ted to think. "I'll summon Elemental HERO Lady Heat in attack mode!" Ted shouted as suddenly a women elemental hero emerged from the flames with a punch to the sky as it landed on the feild as the spirit of the snake looked up and hissed as Lady Heat jumped back. "Um gross?" She grumbled.
Elemental Hero Lady Heat[1300/1000]
"Yeah, he doesn't like us much." Ted joked, chuckling. "Well we are down to my last life points you expect him to like you?" Abigail questioned with a giggle as Elemental Hero Lady Heat growled. "I'm about to have Snake Chicabob!" She growled as the snake hissed as if saying TRY IT!
"Remember Lady Heat's special effect Abby?" Ted asked softly. "Her special- oh shit." Abigail muttered realizing what ted was getting at. "At the end of my turn, Heat deals you 200 points of damage for every HERO I have in play." He explained, pulling another card from his hand. 'This is bad if he pulls another hero this duels over...' Abigail muttered to herself putting her hands on the duel arena. 'no it can't end like this it cant im to close!" she muttered.
"Monster, Reborn crap...this duel's over.." Abigail muttered fearing that she had fought this far only to lose. "I...I...I can't do this...I...I end my turn." Ted stated as Abigail blinked before suddenly, a fire shot from lady heat taking 200 of her life points.

"My turn than DRAW!" Abigail stated drawing her next card and nodded. "I activate to start this turn Polymerization fusing Spirit of the Maiden and Kings cross in order to summon, Zodia Spirit - Strategist Virgo!" Abigail stated slapping the card onto the feild as a mysterious woman in a business like black suit and whip in hand appeared on the feild ready to strike.
Zodiac Spirit - Strategist Virgo[2900/2500]
"Impressive." He smiled. "Now Virgo attack Elemental Hero Lady Heat, with EARTH SHATTERING WHIP!" Abigail shouted as Virgo slammed the whip down before whipping at Lady Heat as she let out a scream when she was destroyed as 1600 life points were taken from Ted.

The crowd exploded as the duel came to a close. "And the winner moving onto the Semi-Finals is Abigail Lockhart!" The announcer shouted in pure shock and exacaticness as the crowd of this local tournoment roared. "Hey Lockhart, come over here a sec kid." Ted called out as Abigail panted moving off her duel arena before over to Ted and blinked. "Yes?" She questioned. "You know I could've won that match in my last turn right?" He questioned. Abigail nodded. "I do I saw you dropped Monster Reborn, why didn't you?" She questioned. "Because you need to win this tournament for your family. I'll have other chances." He smiled. Abigail smiled a tears dripped down her face as he hugged the young man. "Thank you Ted, this means a lot to me." She said with a smile rubbing his hair with a playful smile
"Hey, you need this more than I do. Go kick butt. Good luck kid." Ted said with a grin. "Awww the loser got handed a victory how, PATHETIC!" A voice said as Abigail turned around as a purple haired female with the Schroeder Corp business attire walked forwards as Abigail tightened her visits. "Victoria Von Schroeder ..." She growled in anger. "You know this kid?" Ted asked, confused.
"Oh yeah the spoiled rich brat sister of my father's former boss." Abigail stated as she walked forwards. "What's the stuck up bitch of the Schroeder family doing here?!" Abigail snapped. "Simple." Victoria said flipping her hair to the side. "To make sure YOU don't make it to the grand prix do you have ANY idea the embarrassment Schroeder Corp would suffer if not only we lost to Kaiba Corp but that the peasant daughter of a former employee of ours won the local tournament?!" She snapped.
"Hey, at least she has a purpose rather than vanity glory." Ted smirked. "You stay out of this peasant boy. You could've had her beat and done something USEFUL!" She snapped as Abigail stepped up. "Say another word to him see what happens bitch." Abigail growled.
"Who are you calling a peasant ya little wench? At least I don't look like something out of a horror movie with that purple hair!" He laughed.
The women tightened her fist in anger. "I'll see you in the semi finals Lockhart!" She snapped turning around and walking off. "Abigail!" A voice said as she turned around before two males glomped her. "OOF Randal! Caleb! Guys!" Abigail squealed hugging them. Ted stepped back, letting the friends have a moment. "Guys its so good to see you!" Abigail said as the three got off. "Yo Abbi whos this?" Caleb questioned.
"This is Ted, he was the duelist I was facing, Ted, these are two of my best friends Randal and Caleb." Abigail explained. "Good to meet y'all." Ted explained with a grin. "oh forget that come here! WELCOME NOOGIE!" Caleb said Noogieing the guy gently to show he meant well. Ted laughed, looking to Abby. "Does this happen a lot?" He asked. Abigail laughed. "a lot." She giggled.
"Noted." Ted said with a small grin. "Now if you all don't mind as fun as this has been, I've got a bitch's clock to clean," Abigail said slowly storming off. "Hey Ab-" Ted slowly started before Randal held him back. "Woah easy kid, lesson number one with Abigail when she gets this way it's best to just leave her be," Randal explained as meanwhile, a mysterious figure was in the shadows pressing her hand to the strange necklace on her neck as it glowed. "So...the chosen one of the Millennium Shield has been found.
At the center area as the stage was set the Announcer span the microphone around and spoke. "Ladies and Gentlemen are we ready for the Semi-Finals!" He shouted as the crowd exploded, Ted, Randal, and Caleb finding their seats in the stands. "Well the wait is over first, from the blue corner a representative from Schroeder Corp, ladies and gentlemen please welcome Victoria Von Schroeder!" The announcer shouted as Victoria slowly walked forward and landed on the duel arena stand as it rose up to put her eye level with the field as she flipped her hair as if she had this duel in the bag. "And her opponent, from the Red Corner, The Zodiac Mistress, Abigail LOCKHART!" he shouted as Abigail walked forward the stage rise putting her eye level with the duel field. "KNOCK HER TEETH OUT ABIGAIL!" Randall shouted. "You ready to lose Lockhart?!" Victoria mocked with a smug grin, as Abigail glared. "In your dreams Victoria, your family is going to pay for what they did to mine family!" Abigail snapped as their eyes glared each other down. "Oh boo hoo let's see what you got," Victoria said with a smirk. "LETS DUEL!" The two shouted as the life point counters shot up and both duelist drew their opening hand.

"I guess I'll take it easy on you can't have these fans going home without you putting up SOME sort of a fight, I'll place one monster in face-down position and end my turn," Victoria said as Abigail drew her first card. "Your gonna regret that." She stated looking over her hand and nodded. "I'll start this off with a bang, First I'm going to summon Spirit of the Archer." Abigail shouted as suddenly a strange man holding a bow appeared on the feild and readied his bow aimed right towards Victoria.
Spirit Of The Archer[1500/800]
"Now for his effect, when he arrives on the field I'm allowed to add one Kings Cross to my hand from my deck or graveyard." She explained as the card flew from her deck into her hand as she pointed towards Victoria. "Now, Spirit of the archer let your arrow fly and take out her face down! Perfect Shot!" Abigail shouted as the Archer lowered his bow so it was aiming right towards the set monster letting loose the arrow it pierced the card revealing it as Mystical Shine Ball before destroying it as Victoria growled. "Lucky draw." She snarled.
"Now with that, I shall end my turn," Abigail stated. "My turn DRAW!" Victoria shouted drawing her next card. "I'll open this turn by summoning The Agent of Miracles - Jupiter! Come forth!"

Suddenly, Victoria let out a laugh. "Might as well give up now Lockhart your Zodiac's will meet their end at my hand," Victoria stated with a cocky grin. "Do you like to hear yourself think or something?" Abigail asked as the smoke was clearing from the damage she received. "There is more about this game than just overpowering your opponents and winning Victoria," Abigail stated adjusting herself as she placed two fingers on her deck. "It's about putting the love and trust in the faith of your deck and your friends, oh but wait, you wouldn't know anything about that because your friends abandoned you isn't that right Victoria?!" Abigail snapped causing Victoria to flinch. "However, I believe in my deck and my friends." Abigail stated drawing the card next card and smirked. "and it looks like it's about to pay off. "Activate magic card, Monster Reborn now be reborn Spirit Of The Archer!" Abigail shouted causing Victoria to flinch as the spirit remembered onto the field looking at Victoria.

"That's fine because you still fell right into my trap!" Abigail stated causing Victoria to blink. "Now by discarding two cards, I activate Trickster Capricorn's effect. I roll a six-sided die and the amount I roll is the amount you have to discord, and if you don't have the full amount in your hand you discard from the top cards from your deck!" Abigail stated discarding to cards. "NOW, GO TRICKSTER'S ROLL!" Abigail shouted as Capricorn pulled out a single die and rolled it onto the field as it rolled around for a moment before landing on a six. Suddenly the six cards floated up before landing in the graveyard. "This, can't be happening You rigged this duel somehow you rigged it!" Victoria shouted as Abigail humphed. "No rigging about it now end this spirits!" Abigail shouted as the full on assault on Victoria's life points began taking the remaining of her life points to zero.

"And the winner going onto the finals is ABIGAIL LOCKHART!" The announcer shouted as Abigail's friends raced down the stairs to the duel arena as Abigail got off and hugged her. "That's my girl, way to go, Abbi," Randal stated. "Nice one Abigail!" Ted stated as the two of them gave each other a high five. "One more duel and you're in the Grand Prix girl!" Caleb added as the group laughed. "Lockhart..." Victoria growled in anger limping off. 'this isn't the end mark my words!' Victoria swore to herself.
Before the finals of the local tournament in Germany. Ted, Callen, and Randal along with Abigail were all talking before they heard a voice. "We meet at last Ms. Lockhart." The voice said as they all turned around as they were met with a strange woman who had ong straight black hair that trails just below her shoulders and features two locks wrapped in gold rings coming from behind her ears and continue in front, stopping at her neck. She is slender in build and has tanned skin. around her neck was some strange golden necklace with an eye in the center of it. "Who are you?" Abigail asked. "My name is Ishizu Ishtar and do not worry about the duel today, it is simply, a test." She stated causing the group to blink. "A test?" Randall asked.
"Yes a test, you see Ms. Lockhart, you may have been chosen I need to be sure," Ishizu stated as Abigail blinked. "Chosen for what?" She asked as Ishizu turned around. "To stop the return of the shadow games before it's too late and the games make an appearance after 5,000 years." She said walking off. "Well gee thanks and you can't even tell me?!" Abigail snapped as Randall laughed. "I'm sure it will become clear after the duel Abi," Randall stated. "Easy for you to say your not the one dueling it..." Abigail muttered.
At the duel arena, Abigail took a deep breath as Callen was rubbing her shoulders as if saying YOU GOT THIS! before finally the announcer spoke. "And now the moment you've all been waiting for the finals one of these two duelists is going to the grand Prix! Introducing first this woman has come a long way from amateur duelist to champion level duelists in the span of a couple of months, ladies and gentlemen I give you the Zodiac Mistress ABIGAIL LOCKHART!" The announcer shouted as the crowd started cheering as Abigail held her head down blushing like mad.
"And her opponent all the way from Egypt I give you Ishizu Ishtar!" He bellowed as Ishizu walked in all quiet and calm as the two got on their duel fields as it rose up before she spoke. "Your fate is already decided Abigail, I have foreseen it." She said as her necklace glowed brightly. "Yeah, well to hell with Destiny! I didn't come this far to lose!" Abigail snapped as Ishizu chuckled. "DUEL!" Both shouted as the life points shot up.

Each duelist drew their first five cards as they looked at them before Abigail drew her sixth card. "I'll start things off," Abigail said looking at Ishizu who was way to calm for her liking. "With everything, that's happened in this tournament so far, especially with the damage seeing real with mine and Ted's duel I can't take any chances.." Abigail muttered and nodded. "I'll lay this card face down." She said placing a monster down in face-down defense position. "I'll end it there," Abigail stated as Ishizu nodded drawing her 6th card. 'I have to figure out what deck she is running before I make any sudden moves with my Zodiacs...' Abigail muttered.
"I shall start, first I shall place two cards face down, now I activate the magic card, Necrovalley throne!" Ishizu said slapping the card onto the duel arena. 'Necrovalley...OH CRAP! Gravekeepers!' Abigail muttered to herself in shock. "When this card is played, I have two effects I can activate, I shall use the first one this will allow me to add one Gravekeeper monster from my deck to my hand," Ishizu stated as Abigail gulped as she added the card to her hand. 'This is bad, Gravekeeper's shut down my Zodiac's power out right..' Abigail muttered in shock.
"Now I activate the field spell Necrovalley!" Ishizu shouted as she placed the spell in the field spell section as Abigail sweat dropped as suddenly, the field turned into some Egyptian tomb. "This is bad Ted, this is really bad..." Randall stated. "How is this bad?" He questioned in confusion. "Gravekeeper's shut down the graveyard, Abigail's Zodiac's need the graveyard to work in full force." Caleb explained.
"Now I shall summon Gravekeeper's Heretic in attack mode!" Ishizu stated placing the card onto the feild before a white haired male that looked like he was straight out of egypt with a strange staff in hand appeared on the feild spinning the staff around ready to strike.
Gravekeeper's Heretic[1800/1500]
"Now Heretic go, attack Abigails face down card and bring forth my future!" Ishizu stated as the creature span its staff around before struck the card before a barrir poped up as the card flipped revealing it to be Spirit of the bull with 1,000 attack points and 1,600 defense points as the Heretic was forced back. "I don't understand, with my gravekeeper's 1800 attack your bull should've been destroyed." Ishizu stated as Abigail grinned. "But, he's not thanks to his special ability." Abigail explained. "Thanks to the special ability this card cannot be destroyed by battle." Abigail explained as Ishizu smiled. 'I may be right about this girl after all.' She said as Ishizu took a breather. "Very well I end my turn." She stated crossing her arms.
"Alright my go!" Abigail stated drawing her next card as she drew her next card and nodded. "Alright I shall start with this come forth Spirit of the Maiden!"

"Gravekeeper's are very tricky Abby, be careful kiddo!" Ted warned her. "Now for Spirit Of The Maiden's effect, thanks to its summon I am able to add one kings cross from my deck or graveyard to my hand!" Abigail stated as she pulled the card from her deck. "Now I shall activate from my hand Zodiac Weapon - War God's Chain! When this card is activated I am allowed to target one monster YOU control and your monster can't change battle positions." Abigail explained as Ishizu smiled. "If you think it will be that easy you are sadly mistaken, Reverse Card Open, Imperial Tombs of Necrovalley!" Ishizu shouted flipping the card over.
"Shit, that's the exact card Abi needed to avoid boys.." Ted groaned. "What you talking about Ted?" Calleb questioned as the card on the field was glowing. "That card when Ishizu has a Gravekeeper and Necrovalley on the field, when Abby uses a Magic, Trap or Monster Effect, Ishizu can negate the effect and destroy the card." Ted explained. "Thanks to this card I am allowed to negate the activation of any magic, trap or effect from your monster and destroy it," Ishizu explained as the card in Abigail's hand exploded going to the graveyard. "Welp, so much for that Idea, I end my turn," Abigail explained as Ishizu nodded as she drew her card. "Now, Gravekeeper Heretic, Attack Spirit Of The Maiden! Gravekeeper's strike!" Ishizu shouted as the monster charged in. "What?! they'll destroy each other!" Abigail shouted as Ishizu shook her head. "Not quite, with Necrovalley on the field, Heretic gains an extra 500 attack and defense points," Ishizu explained as Abigail sweatdropped.

"I shall end my turn there Ms. Lockhart," Ishizu stated as Abigail grunted and here we went again, once again she was unable to get first blood. "Don't give up Abi, you still got this girl!" Randall shouted as Abigail looked towards Ishizu as her necklace was still glowing. "My turn!" Abigail stated drawing her next card. 'Not quite what I needed but as long as my Bull is on the field I should be good." She stated pulling a card from her hand.
"Now I shall summon Spirit Of The Ram! Come forth!" Abigail shouted as suddenly a strange creature wielding a hammer of some kind in the form of a Ram appeared on the field and let out a cry as if it was ready to battle.
Spirit Of The Ram[1800/500]
"Now, thanks to Spirit Of The Ram's effect I am able to add one King's Cross from my deck or graveyard to my hand!"

"What?! but, my monsters clearly stronger!" Ishizu shouted as the creature charged in. "Why do you think I had Spirit of the bull on the field? With Spirit Of The Ram on the field every one of my "Spirit Of The" monsters gain an extra 500 attack points." Abigail explained as Ishizu sweatdropped. 'this was not in the future I foresaw!' Ishizu stated to herself.
Spirit Of The Ram[2300/500]
"But, they will destroy each other and your graveyard shut off you will have no way to bring him back!" Ishizu stated. "With what I have planned I won't need my graveyard!" Abigail stated as the ram slammed down onto the keeper's staff as both shattered destroying the respective monsters. "With that, I shall end my turn," Abigail stated as Ishizu slowly drew her next card, still shaking from the fact this was not the outcome she foresaw. "My turn, I shall start by summoning another, Gravekeeper's Heretic!"Ishizu stated placing the card onto the field before a white-haired male that looked like he was straight out of Egypt with a strange staff in hand appeared on the field spinning the staff around ready to strike before it suddenly glowed as his attack points shot up from the effect of necrovalley.

"Next I activate the magic card, Hidden Temples Of Necrovalley, With this card on the field, Thanks to Gravekeeprs Heretic I can make it so neither one of us can special summon this duel." Ishizu stated. "Don't think so I activate in return the quick play magic card Mystical Space Typhoon!" Abigail stated as the card glowed brightly before suddenly lightning struck down on the card destroying it as Ishizu blinked. "Your Necrovalley's have pissed me off for the last time." Abigail explained. "Very well, I end my turn." She stated as Abigail placed two fingers on her next card. "My turn, DRAW!" She stated looking at her next card and grinned. "You're not the only one who can play Field Spells Ishizu." Abigail stated
"And what do you mean by that? Ishizu asked as Abigail spoke. "I ACTIVATE Gathering of the Constellations!" Abigail shouted as she slapped the card into the field zone as suddenly the field changed to a strange symbol that had all the Zodiac's on it and caused Ishizu to blink. "Thanks to this spell I can now ditch one of my spirits and bring for a Zodiac Monster, ignoring its summoning requirements!" Abigail stated as Ishizu sweatdropped. "And here comes Abigail's counter-attack, They haven't started calling her the Zodiac Mistress for nothing folks!" The announcer stated. "Alright, Abi!" Caleb stated with a grin. "Show those gravekeeper's who is boss!" Randal followed with a small grin.
"Nice goin Lockhart. just don't get overconfident or you'll get burned." Ted mused. "Now I ditch, Spirit of the lion to the grave, now I call upon the Zodiac of the scorpion! COME FORTH! ZODIAC SPIRIT MYSTIC SCORPIO! IN DEFENSE" Abigail shouted and slapped the card down in defense mode as suddenly a strange looking spirit, Red and White Hair, Samurai like outfit and a sword at the right side of him appeared before bending down in defense position and crossed his arms not even a word.

"Good luck getting past this wall Ishizu, I didn't get this far just to get stopped by some women who is using this tournament as a mere test," Abigail stated crossing her arms.

"Abbi...are you...are you feeling alright? That thing has hardly any attack points!" Ted exclaimed, utterly confused. "Now for his effect because now I shall discard two cards to activate his effect depending on the roll you will have to discard that amount of cards and if you don't have the many in your hand you will have to mill the difference from your deck!" Abigail declared. "What?!" Ishizu asked in shock. "NOW GO DICE ROLL!" Abigail shouted as Trickster Capricorn pulled out a six-sided dice and threw it onto the field as it landed on a...Four!. "OH YEAH! There goes four of Ishizu's cards!" Caleb shouted.
Ted looked utterly puzzled. "W...What was the point of that?!" He suddenly exclaimed. "Because now thanks to Abigail's monster, Ishizu doesn't have a single card left in her hand," Randall stated with a grin. "Oh...I knew that!" Ted replied, trying to save face. "RIIIIIIGHT" Randall and Caleb said at the same time. "Ey! Whose side are y'all on here?" He asked, in mock anger. "Abi's we warned when we gave ya the welcome noggie." Randal stated. Ishizu discarded her three cards before milling one of them as Abigail continued. "Now, I normal summoned Spirit of the Crab!" Abigail shouted placing the card onto the field as suddenly a bulky looking crab appeared on the field

The Announcer shouted. "Now, Zodiac Spirit - Mystic Scorpio! Go attack Gravekeeper Recruiter with Mystic Blast!" Abigail shouted as Mystic Scorpio raised its hand up before launching a ball of energy towards the Gravekeeper however, something was up as Ishizu, smiled. "I'm afraid that won't work Ms. Lockhart, because now I activate my facedown card, Go Necrovalley Temple!" Ishizu stated flipping the card over as Abigail flinched. "Thanks to this card with a gravekeeper and Necrovalley on the field, your monster loses 500 attack and defense points." Ishizu explained. "But, that will bring Scorpio down to 1000 attack points," Abigail stated. "Exactly and it's too late to call off the attack," Ishizu stated.
The Gravekeeper sliced through the blast that launched back at Scorpio destroying it as it took 700 life points.

Abigail declared. "Knock this for a home run Abi!" Randal shouted.
"Uh guys, Abi has next to nothing to take down that Chief. Her monsters are down to 1000, 1000 and 1500 attack." Ted mused. "Ted, its something we learned a long time ago with Abi," Caleb stated as Randal smirked. "Don't count her out till the last life point is taken." He grinned. "Well all right, but I'm just thinking logically boys," Ted said. "Logic, What's Logic with Abigail." Randall laughed. "So she basically goes full throttle regardless of sitch?" Ted laughed. "yep." Randall said all casually. "Now, I shall discard Spirit of the Scales! To Special Summon, ZODIAC SPIRIT- MASTER OPHIUCHUS!"

"What would you expect Randal we are dealing with the future queen of games here buddy!" Caleb stated as the two friends laughed high fiving each other as Ishizu looked on in shock. 'I was right, she IS one of the chosen ones!' Ishizu muttered to herself. Ishizu slowly got up and smiled. "I've seen all that I need to see you are who I was looking for..."

Abigail questioned. "It's like I said, this was a test, Young lady you have a big destiny ahead of you to that end you must go to Egypt there, you will see what I'm talking about." Ishizu explained. "Do you understand?" She questioned. "I do as long as this makes sense afterward." She said.

Randall exclaimed. "yeah but, we got a road trip first," Abigail stated as she looked up to the sky. "Tell mom and dad to pack their bags we are taking a trip to egypt."
