21. A Grave Encounter.

Mario continued to rise in rank, but after his next opponent Bandy Andy disappeared all Duelists would rise in rank meaning Mario would rise to the fifteenth rank, at that point an unexpected challenger appeared: Bowser, after a short but fierce Duel Mario managed to defeat his old ally, now Mario's arrows are aimed at the number ten.

'Mario seems to be in deep trouble right now!' Grubba roared: 'He did come far but the champion of the Minor League, Harry might just be too tough to crack!'

Mario was sweating quite a bit, his opponent wore a full suit of medieval armor. 'They don't call me the Armored Harrier for nothing!' Mario's opponent roared.

(Mario: 200) - (Harry: 6000)

Harry controlled two Marauding Captain. (1200 ATK x2)

Then he controlled a Skill Drain and a Trap card that was called Anti Skill Drain, which allowed his monsters to use their Effects, then he had another weird card Spell Barrier which completely protected him from Spell cards.

'With the Dark Hole I just used your Field is empty! Now Marauding Captain attack directly!'

Then all of a sudden an alarm sounded, a red cross appeared in the screens above the arena showing Life Points and the Fields.

'What the hell?' Harry roared then Jolene entered the ring.

'Harry, you are disqualified, the archives were checked for your Anti Skill Drain and Spell Barrier, these cards are homemade and nowhere to find in the archives.' Behind Jolene two security guards appeared.

'Therefore the Duel is canceled and Mario wins by default!'

The crowd was roaring and laughing when Harry was dragged off the stage by the guards, Mario sighted as he wanted to leave the stage but Jolene stopped him. 'Mario would you follow me?' She asked.

Mario and Jolene silently walked down a hallway when suddenly Jolene started to talk: 'Mario many people lost to Harry, I thought he was cheating for quite some time but I could never bring proof to Grubba so that is why he had him continue Dueling.' Jolene then stopped for a double door.

'Jolene what happened that you could prove it now?' Mario asked.

'I don't know, I was monitoring the Duel like I always do when suddenly my systems went off that an illegal card was played, I stopped the Duel at that time and just in time.' With these words Jolene opened one of the doors, it was another locker room but this one was clean and there stood some furniture, there were also some beds the room itself was empty. 'Welcome to the Major League Mario, you are the number ten now which means last place of the Major League, the system works the same, but for today all Duels are canceled we need to sort out the Harry debacle.

Mario stepped outside he had seen his friends in the crowd so someone else had shown Jolene that Harry was cheating, and Mario knew exactly who it was.

'Mario!' Someone shouted, Mario turned around and he saw Goombella.

'Man I am glad that Jolene found out Harry was cheating, he would have beaten you otherwise.' Mario gave Goombella a quick kiss. 'I'm fine.' He replied. 'Well since Luigi and I were investigating some places this morning how did your other Duel go?' Goombella asked.

'The number fourteen I fought was a bandit known as Hand-it-Over who used a Dark Scorpion Deck, the number thirteen was a wacko dressed as a magician he called himself the Mind Boggler and he used a Psychic Deck, the number twelve was a biker using an Infernity Deck and finally I faced Bob who used a Giant Kozaky and Kozaky combo.' Mario said.

'Wait Giant Kozaky.' Goombella said: 'Isn't that the card that self destructs when a regular Kozaky isn't on the Field?' Goombella asked, Mario nodded. 'Yes he attempted to give control over his Giant Kozaky to me then destroy his Kozaky to give me damage, but I managed to take out his Kozaky so all three Giant Kozaky exploded in his own face.'

Mario and Goombella entered their room: 'Where are Luigi and Mallow?' He asked. 'They went to the Watering Hole, they wanted you to take a break.' Goombella replied. 'Could use a drink or two, let me take a quick shower then we go.

After the shower Mario stepped out of his room, Goombella was waiting for him in the hallway, she was wearing a pink dress with a white leather jacket over it and red high-heels. 'You look beautiful.' Mario complimented her at that moment his D-Gazer went off, it was another spoken message:

'Har har har, I've seen you Duel, my grandmother Duels better, Harry was better than you, you just lucked out that you won by default. But your luck runs out when you face me! The champion! I warned you I would put you in the hospital, so last warning punk, quit now. Your bed is waiting.'

Mario had send the message to Goombella. 'Rawk Hawk is feeling the heat under his feet but he doesn't scare me, I'll face him in the arena and I shall beat him.'

Mario and Goombella entered the Watering Hole, Luigi and Mallow were Dueling each other, the old-fashioned way on a table, no Duel Disks, Mario's eye fell on a woman, blonde hair and she was wearing a black dress. 'Wait, is that... Jolene?' Mario started to whisper, to Goombella, the woman was talking to a hooded figure, suddenly she turned around when she spotted Mario the woman quickly stood up and walked away through the back exit, Mario crossed eyes with the hooded figure who was wearing a mask, the man stood up and also left through the back exit.

'I dunno if that was Jolene, but that masked guy, looked familiar.' Goombella noticed. 'I have a feeling that masked guy will challenge me in the arena soon.' Mario sighted: 'But that woman though sure looked like Jolene, only younger and without glasses, maybe she was her sister? We'll need to figure that out.'

Mario and Goombella sat down at the same table as Mallow and Luigi: 'So with the destruction of your Raiza and the damage done through Flame Wingman's effect, I win.' Luigi just concluded the Duel, Mallow and Luigi gathered their cards. 'Mario Luigi and I found something more on the Dirty Fighting Deck, it is unbeatable, we've found all known cards and what they do, we ran multiple simulation test and every Deck we tried was beaten in mere minutes.' Mallow said, Mario shook his head: 'Nothing is unbeatable, but we won't worry about it now, tonight we enjoy ourselves.'

Glitz Pit Arena: The next day.

Mario entered the arena there he saw his next, very hairy opponent wearing archeology clothing. 'So we meet again.' The man spoke.

'Fuzzy?' Mario replied: 'How did you end up here?' Mario sounded surprised. 'After we faced off in Shhwonk Fortress I started to practice Dueling, I became stronger then I came here and broke through the ranks ending up in the Major League just a few days ago, actually you are my first opponent in the Major League.'

Mario took his position on his side, the crowd wasn't as stirred as usual.

'Let's do it.' Fuzzy growled.

(Fuzzy: 8000) - (Mario: 8000)

'I start with the Spell card, Piri Reis Map, which allows me to take Ashoka Pillar to my hand.' The half-burned map appeared on the Field, Fuzzy searched his Deck until he found the card he was looking for. 'Next I summon Ashoka Pillar!' Fuzzy continued the black pillar appeared on the Field. (0 ATK)

Mario frowned: 'You know that Deck didn't work out last time, must I remind you since you summoned the monster you got with your Piri Reis your Life Points are halved.' Mario reminded Fuzzy.

Fuzzy grinned: 'Only now you take the damage instead of me, I activate the Quick-Play Spell card Curse Reflection Doll!' A doll-shaped figure appeared in front of Fuzzy, electricity shot out of it striking Mario, the latter took a few steps back from the impact.

(Fuzzy: 8000) - (Mario: 4000)

'I shall end my turn with a facedown card.' Fuzzy stated.

Mario recaptured his breath: 'Okay so you learned a few things, still your Deck has no potential.' Mario said, Fuzzy gritted his teeth, Mario drew his card. 'I summon Extra Sword!' Mario stated the warrior clad in green and white armor carrying two swords appeared. (1000 ATK)

'Extra Sword attacks Ashoka Pillar!' Mario shouted.

'You just triggered my Trap card!' Fuzzy roared: 'Go Totem Pole!' In front of Fuzzy a pole appeared it consisted of a brown base with on top of it a red and blue piece resembling two creatures and on top of that a yellow bird with two wings, the attack of Extra Sword knocked off the yellow piece. 'Totem Pole negates attacks up to three times.

'I set a facedown card and end my turn.' Mario stated it appeared behind Extra Sword.

Fuzzy grinned as he drew his card. 'I activate Magical Stone Excavation.' He stated, a Spell card briefly appeared on the Field. 'This allows me to discard two cards then take one Spell card back from my Graveyard.' Fuzzy explained, he discarded two of his three cards then a card slipped from his Graveyard Fuzzy took it.

'Next I summon Crystal Skull!' He continued, the skull made of crystal appeared on the Field. (0 ATK)

'Now normally I would take 1000 points of damage but because of Curse Reflection Doll you take it!' Again the doll appeared on the Field, Mario got another shock.

(Fuzzy: 8000) - (Mario: 3000)

'My turn again.' Mario stated he drew his card. 'I summon Spartan in attack mode!' Mario shouted, the warrior wielding the spear and shield appeared. (1600 ATK) 'Now Spartan and Extra Sword attack!' The two monsters charged in they completely destroyed the Totem Pole. 'I'll end my turn.'

Fuzzy drew his card. 'Pot of Greed!' He shouted the happy pot appeared and Fuzzy drew two cards. 'I summon Cabrera Stone!' The black comma-shaped rock appeared. (0 ATK) 'Your turn Mario.' Fuzzy said.

'I create the Overlay Network!' Mario shouted, Extra Sword and Spartan were sucked in the vortex, Excalibur dropped out of it. (2000- 3000 ATK)

'Excalibur gained 1000 extra attack points because of Extra Sword, now attack Ashoka Pillar!' Excalibur heaved his sword and in one stroke cut down the black pillar. 'Now you take 2000 points of damage because I destroyed Ashoka Pillar!' This time Fuzzy got a shock.

(Fuzzy: 3000) - (Mario: 3000)

Fuzzy drew his card, he started to laugh. 'I activate Stonehenge which allows me to summon Ashoka Pillar!' The Ancient Treasure reappeared. (0 ATK) 'I shall end this Duel right now! With the Spell card Triangle O!' Fuzzy slammed the card on his Duel Disk. 'I can only activate this when I control Ashoka Pillar, Cabrera Stone and Crystal Skull, I destroy the three of them and deal all the damage I would have taken to you!'

Mario chuckled. 'Fuzzy I activate my Trap card!' Mario shouted, his card spun around. 'Dark Bribe! You draw a card but your Spell card is negated!'

Fuzzy sank to his knees as he saw his Spell card explode.

'You're wide open Fuzzy! Excalibur destroy Ashoka Pillar!' Fuzzy let out a scream when he was blown off the stage by the power of Excalibur.

(Fuzzy: 0) - (Mario: 3000)

Fuzzy stood up, Mario saw he was foaming, without saying anything he ran away. 'This means that Mario's debut at the Major League is a fact! But can he continue the pace? Or will he fall?' Grubba shouted.

Five minutes later Mario was in the arena again, this time he faced Spiny, a real metal-head using a music-based Deck with the Symphony Djinns as his main focus, of course quickly Spiny was dealt with, then immediately Mario continued for his rank seven Duel, this time against a man dressed in overalls, this man was known as Shellshock an electrician using a Thunder Deck, of course just like Spiny this man stood no chance at all.

Mario watched as Shellshock walked away. 'Today Mario is on a roll! He takes down one Duelist after the other!' Grubba roared.

Then the doors on the far end of the arena opened a man in a hooded cloak entered, Mario saw a white mask from under the hood, red eyes were prying through the mask's eye-holes.

'Does Mario even get a rest? Seems another challenger arrived!' Grubba shouted, the crowd went insane with cheering, then all of a sudden a strange feeling filled Mario everything went silent, nobody seemed to be moving except for Mario and the stranger.

'I knew you would be here, Rozalin warned me about you Grave.'

Grave removed his mask. 'Why the secrecy? And what magic did you just use?' Mario asked. 'First question I need to be anonymous, you know Star Heaven hunting me and all, might even be some Celestians in this tournament and to answer your second question I simply stopped time, an ability I can use for just a few minutes.'

Grave put the mask back on. 'I can sense the Nephilim, it is coming from the private seats were that champion Rawk Hawk is watching you. I want to draw Rawk Hawk out to see if my suspicion is true.' Grave said.

'I can see your point, he does have the Crystal Star after all.' Mario replied.

'Yes, I cannot stop the time longer, just Duel me and I will use a tiny bit of Shadow Magic to make the monsters real, not when they are attacking directly, I am not trying to kill you now.'

Mario nodded: 'I see you use that Shadow Magic, if Rawk Hawk is the Nephilim he would need to get out here in the crowd to actually sense it, then when he is in here you can sense his presence.' Mario said.

'Exactly.' Grave replied: 'But I'm gonna let time flow again now.'

'Grave.' Mario then said: 'Thank you for the help with Harry, I know you delivered proof he was cheating.' Grave looked at Mario: 'Personal reasons, I need you to figure out what is going on here, I cannot use you if you are out of the tournament.'

Suddenly the strange feeling disappeared and time-flow returned, the cheering of the crowd filled Mario's ears.

'Mario! I am here to destroy you!' Grave roared he activated his Duel Disk, Mario and Grave stared at each other for a few seconds. 'Duel!' They both shouted.

(Grave: 8000) - (Mario: 8000)

'Challenger takes the first move.' Grave said.

'Well, take it if you have to, I know your Skull Servant Deck through and through.' Mario replied, he caught a small glimpse in Grave's eyes, Grave drew his opening hand. 'Mario, you think I only use one Deck? My Skull Servant Deck is only a casual Deck, this Deck is serious.' Grave then took one card from his hand. 'I send Skull Conductor from my hand to my Graveyard so I can summon up to two Zombie monsters from my hand, if their attack equals 2000.' Grave explained, then he took another two cards from his hand. 'I summon two Burning Skull Head.' Before grave two cackling skulls on fire appeared. (1000 ATK x2) 'When Burning Skull Heads are summoned my opponent takes 1000 points of damage.' Grave pointed his finger at Mario, the two Skull Heads flew around Mario, he felt the Shadow Magic coming from the monsters but the fire didn't hurt him.

(Grave: 8000) - (Mario: 6000)

'Mario your friend put on a good fight against this Deck, but she couldn't beat it in the end, neither can you! This time I shall settle the score!' Grave's eyes started to glow, Mario knew Grave was talking about Rozalin, Mario knew he had to be careful, Rozalin wasn't a weak Duelist, she had managed to hold her own against powerful opponents. 'You play to win don't you, finally you can have a fair Duel against me, I can see it in your eyes, well Grave I shall answer your call!' Mario replied, Grave took a card from his hand it appeared facedown behind his monsters.

Mario drew his card. 'Mario I activate my Trap card, Threatening Roar!' Grave's facedown card spun around, a terrible roar bellowed over the Field. 'Well there goes my Battle Phase.' Mario groaned. 'Grave's stalling, there must be some strategy so he can send Burning Skull Head to his Graveyard so he can Special Summon them, this must be some kind of Burn Deck.' Mario thought.

'I activate Double Summon!' Mario shouted the card briefly appeared on the Field. 'Now I summon both Extra Sword and Spartan!' Mario shouted first the guy with the two swords leaped out, (1000 ATK) followed by the spear-wielding warrior. (1600 ATK)

'I create the Overlay Network with these two monsters!' Mario shouted, the vortex opened: 'Xyz Summon Gandiva!' The female archer on horseback dropped out of the vortex she readied and aimed her bow. (2100- 3100 ATK: 2 ORU) 'Since I cannot attack I simply end my turn.' Mario stated.

Slowly Grave drew his card. 'I sacrifice my two Burning Skull Heads for Skull Flame!' The two skulls disappeared the large robed demon appeared, the moment he appeared its head caught fire. (2600 ATK)

Mario could feel the Dark Magic radiating from that monster.

'I activate Swords of Revealing light and leave it at that.' Grave stated, the swords descended all around Mario.

Then the door to the VIP area opened, Rawk Hawk stepped outside, the moment he did both Grave and Mario felt the power of the Nephilim all over the arena, Mario and Grave looked at each other they slightly nodded.

Mario drew his card. 'Let me see here, I set two cards.' Mario stated, one defending monster appeared followed by a reversed card behind it. 'That's it Grave, your turn.'

Slowly Grave drew his card. 'Skull Flame destroy that defending monster!' Grave bellowed, before Mario a man clad in heavy-plated armor appeared in both hands he held a shield, two swords stuck out of the shield, the monster knelt down and covered himself with the shields the swords retracted. (2000 DEF) This monster was Heroic Challenger - Swordshield, but this monster was no match for the brutal fire of Skull Flame.

'Mario you cannot hide behind your wall of monsters, I'll burn them down together with your Life Points!'

Mario ignored Grave and drew his card. 'I summon Double Lance from my hand!' Mario shouted and his warrior leaped out onto the Field. (1700 ATK) 'Next I summon Swordshield with Call of the Haunted!' The shield-wielding warrior leaped back on the Field. (0 ATK)

'Here he comes.' Grave growled. 'I create the Overlay network!' Mario roared Swordshield and Double Lance were sucked inside the vortex: 'Come forth Excalibur!' Mario roared as his strongest warrior dropped out of the vortex. (2000 ATK 2: ORU)

'Since I cannot attack I shall end my turn.'

Grave quickly drew his card. 'Heh heh heh, I use the Effect of Skull Flame so I can special summon Burning Skull Head.' Grave played the card another cackling skull on fire appeared, it flew past Mario burning him in the process.

(Grave: 8000) - (Mario: 5000)

'Grave I activated Gandiva's Effect.' Mario said, he pulled a card from under the card. (Gandiva: 2- 1 ORU)

The monster aimed her bow and shot the Burning Skull Head out of the air. 'Your move Mario.' Mario drew his card. 'I shall pass this turn.' He stated, the Swords of Revealing Light dissolved. 'Running out of ideas Mario? Well I use Skull Flame's Effect, by skipping my Draw Phase I get a Burning Skull Head from my Graveyard.' The card slipped from Grave's Graveyard he took it in his hand: 'Then I special summon it through the Effect of Skull Flame!' Grave continued, another cackling skull appeared, it flew a few times around Mario, Gandiva took an arrow and shot the skull out of the air. (Gandiva 1- 0 ORU)

(Grave: 8000) - (Mario: 4000)

Mario drew his card as soon as Grave gave a hand-sign he ended his turn.

'I summon my second Spartan!' Mario shouted, another of the spear and shield wielding warriors appeared. 'Next I use Monster Reborn to summon Double Lance!' With a war-cry Double Lance leaped back on the Field under the holy Ankh. (1700 ATK)

'Next I Detach the monsters from Excalibur to double his attack!' Excalibur roared as his sword started to glow with power. (2000- 4000 ATK: 2- 0 ORU)

'Gandiva take down Skull Flame!' Mario shouted, an arrow struck the flaming demon, it slowly disappeared in a bonfire. 'Double Lance, Spartan, Excalibur direct attack!' Mario bellowed, Grave was first struck by the speak, then two slashes across his chest from Double Lance finished by a slash from Excalibur which knocked Grave on his back.

(Grave: 400) - (Mario: 4000)

'That was one huge blow dealt to Mario's opponent! This surely ends in Mario's victory!' The crowd was silent as Grave wasn't moving, then the latter started to laugh, slowly he stood up, the crowd started to cheer like crazy. 'Well done Mario, but this is only just beginning!' Grave drew his card. 'I activate Pot of Greed!' The happy pot appeared on the Field and Grave drew twice. 'Now I Banish Skull Flame from my Graveyard!' The card slipped from Grave's Graveyard he pocketed it. 'This allows me to summon Supersonic Skull Flame!' A bonfire erupted on the Field first the top half of Skull Flame appeared followed by the bottoms of what looked like a demonic horse. (2600 ATK)

'I continue to Equip my Supersonic Skull Flame with Axe of Despair!' Grave played the card, the wicked-looking, demonic axe appeared in the hands of Supersonic Skull Flame. (2600- 3600 ATK)

'I activate the Effect of Supersonic Skull Flame, he can deal 400 points of damage for each Burning Skull Head in my Graveyard.' Grave explained, three Burning Skull Heads appeared next to Supersonic, the three skulls charged at Mario flying through him, Mario cringed a bit.

(Grave: 400) - (Mario: 2800)

'Skull Flame attack Double Lance!' Flames erupted around the warrior, when the flames cleared the warrior was gone.

(Grave: 400) - (Mario: 900)

'I end my turn with this facedown card.' Grave stated, a reversed card appeared behind Supersonic Skull Flame, the attack of Excalibur returned back to normal. (4000- 2000 ATK)

'Mario, you won't win, not this time! You have one turn left before I finish you.'

Mario placed his hand on his Deck, he took a few seconds to draw his card, when he did Grave started to laugh: 'I use my second Threatening Roar!' He bellowed, the Trap card spun around, another roar bellowed over the Field. 'I won Mario! This turn you cannot attack, on my turn I simply use the Effect of Supersonic Skull Flame to end...' Grave stopped when he saw Mario wasn't nervous at all, the latter played a card which appeared facedown behind Excalibur. 'I change my monsters to defense mode.' Mario said, Spartan knelt on one knee shielding himself with his shield. (1000 DEF) Excalibur simply knelt and sheathed his sword. (2000 DEF)

Grave narrowed his eyes. 'Yeah, that card probably bluff.' Grave muttered, he drew his card. 'I use the Spell card Burial From a Different Dimension!' The Spell card briefly appeared. 'I move Skull Flame back to my Graveyard.' Grave said, he took the Banished card and placed it back in his Graveyard. 'Now I use the Effect of Supersonic Skull Flame!' Grave shouted, Mario stopped Grave. 'This time you triggered my Trap card!' A spun around. 'Divine Wrath!' Grave gasped.

'Indeed Divine Wrath.' Mario repeated Grave, Mario took one of his card and discarded it: 'I destroy your Supersonic Skull Flame!' Mario roared lightning struck the Centaur Zombie, it fell apart in ashes, but immediately the ashes started to burn. 'When Supersonic Skull Flame is destroyed I get to summon the regular Skull Flame!' Grave said, the demonic man reappeared from the ashes. (2600 ATK)

'Skull Flame destroy Excalibur!' Grave bellowed, flames started to struck the mighty warrior he managed to withstand the attack, but eventually he had to succumb.

'You managed to stall for one turn Mario, give it up already!' Grave shouted, but Mario shook his head, quickly he drew his card.

'I activate Premature Burial!' Mario shouted, the Spell card appeared and Excalibur leaped out of a hole in the ground. (2000 ATK)

(Grave: 400) - (Mario: 100)

'It was a good Duel Grave, but I activate Heroic Chance! This Spell doubles the attack of a Heroic Monster this turn!' Grave took a few steps back, Excalibur started to glow with power. (2000- 4000 ATK)

With one strike of Excalibur's sword Skull Flame was put down, the head of the Zombie rolled over the floor before it dissolved into ashes.

(Grave: 0) - (Mario: 100)

The moment the Duel ended the power of the Nephilim left the room as Rawk Hawk had walked back into the VIP room.

After the Duel Mario and Grave went to the locker room. 'So Rawk Hawk is the Nephilim.' Mario said to break the silence. 'I cannot be sure yet.' Grave replied: 'When he stepped outside the VIP room the power of the Nephilim exploded, but to be sure if it is Rawk Hawk I need you to face him in the finals Mario, draw out his power if he has it, then I'll take him down afterwards.' Grave said, then they reached the locker room. When they entered the locker room it was completely empty. 'So Mario, can I rely on you for this?' Grave then asked all of a sudden, Mario stopped and turned around. 'As long as you don't stab me in the back yes.' Mario replied, Grave started to laugh. 'You know Mario, I feel I can open up to you.' Then Grave's expression changed back to being serious. 'Grave I bought you here for a reason, I need your help.' Mario started: 'I got my hands on a list of mysteries involving Glitzville, they all point to the disappeared people and thus the Nephilim.' Grave said nothing, all he did was looking at Mario, the latter walked up to one of the walls he knocked on it. 'This wall is reinforced with some material I can't seem to break, some clue or something should be behind it.'

Grave felt the wall. 'No wonder you couldn't break it, this wall is reinforced with a common material from the Dark World where the Nephilim come from, ordinary means cannot destroy it, but I can.' Grave motioned Mario to move back and he did, then Grave chanted something in a strange language, a black mist formed around Grave's hand.

'Mario this stuff regenerates itself, the moment I punch a hole look around and take what you need.' Grave explained.

Then Grave punched a hole through the wall, purple mist appeared around the hole, Mario looked through but all he saw was an envelope quickly he took it, Grave pulled back his fist and the wall repaired itself.

'So Mario open it I want to see it.' Grave eagerly said, Mario opened the envelope and he pulled some papers out, some of them were blueprints the top paper had a drawing of a Crystal Star on it but before Mario could read further the door opened and Jolene stood in the hallway.

Mario quickly put the papers back in the envelope.

'I see you befriended your opponent, good to see that, but I must remind you this locker room if off limits to non-contestants.' Mario and Grave looked at each other. 'We'll be on our way then.' Mario said as he and Grave wanted to walk away. 'Oh and that envelope, please hand it over I think it belongs to Glitzville.' Mario sighted as he handed over the envelope.


Next time:

We take a break from the tournament, Mario's friends now working together with Grave investigate the storage room where strange noises are heard, will the mystery of Glitz Pit finally be solved? 'Whispers in the Dark.' Coming next.
