Angel: "This one I'm sure a few of you were looking forward too, Appleshipping! The shipping name for Rin and Yugo! So does anyone remember back in that one episode of Arc-V where Doktor tries to control Yuya with his parasite, but Yuya just goes berserk and Zarc does the equivalent of bitch slapping the parasite. Well, that's basically what happens to Rin."


Ship Name: Appleshipping (Yugo x Rin)

Name Reason: Named so because their portmanteau is ringo which means "apple" in Japanese.


The Light of the Bell's Chime

"Come on, Rin. Let's go home." Yugo says, pulling away from the hug. Rin smiles back and nods, relieved to finally be able to leave this hellhole. Yugo turned and began to leave. Rin started to follow, only for red hot pain to piece her head. It was so sudden, and so painful, she screamed and drop to her knees.

"Rin?!" Yugo ran back to her. "Are you okay?! What's wrong?!" Rin barely heard him. She didn't even know he was there. Her head. It was like something was clawing at her brain, trying to wiggle its way in. The thought of that made her want to throw up, but the pain overrode it.

"Yu...go..." Was the last thing Rin utter before she fell face first onto the ground, darkness claiming her vision.

"Rinrin?! Wake up!" Yugo shook her shoulder, but she didn't stir. Tears swell up in Yugo's eyes. She sounded like she was in real pain. Something was wrong with Rin and Yugo had no idea what it was. Carefully, Yugo picked up Rin and set her down on the bed that was in the corner of the room. He didn't want to stay here but at the moment, he had no choice.

Tugging on his yellow bangs, Yugo exits the room for a moment to try and collect his thoughts and think of a plan. Right now, he was on an island with no 'real' way back home and he had no backup what so ever. He had no idea where Zuzu or that Alexis girl was so he was stuck and alone.

Just as Yugo was about to cry out in frustration, he heard footsteps. They were coming from the room. Was Rin awake? Yugo ran back in. Rin had sat up in the bed and was looking around the room.

"Rin! Y-you really scared me back there-" Yugo was cut off as Rin snaps her head around to face him. Yugo blinks. Was it just him or...was Rin glowing pink? And her eyes...they seem a bit different too. "Uhh...Rinrin? Are you...okay?" Yugo took a cautious step forward and the aura around Rin flare to life.

Before Yugo even realized it, the aura swept forward, sending him flying straight through the tower's only window.


Rin watched as Yugo fell, her aura dying down but still quite visible. He had landed on what appears to be his Duel Runner. She didn't expect her powers to push him back that far.

But he was still breathing.

She closed her eyes.

She could sense all four of them.

They were here.

That wasn't good.

Taking out her duel disk, Rin descended down the stairs.

She mustn't let him revive.

She can't.

She won't.


The duel was fierce. she tried to appear confident. The boy, his name Yugo, was continuously calling out for 'Rin' to return. As much as she wanted to believe that this boy was harmless, she knew she couldn't. Not with his other pieces so close. She had to take him down now. Him and his dragon.

It was her turn now and she had to make this one count. As she reached to draw a card, the green gem on the bracelet began to glow.

"W-whoa! Rin! Your bracelet!" Yugo shouted. "Since when did it shine like that?"

She could feel it. The power of the winds and gales responding to her will to beat him. She drew her card.


Rin vs. Yugo

Field: N/A

[Turn 3]

Rin: 4000 LP [Hand: 2]

Yugo: 2500 LP [Hand: 3]


Her eyes widen when she saw that she drew a new monster that she hasn't seen before. She smiles. Even when the four bracelets weren't together, their power was still quite remarkable.

"Time to ice that dragon, Winter Bell! Attack!" Her Winter Bell turned around and shot out a dozen of icy arrows.

"Grr, by banishing Tri-Eyed Dice from my Graveyard I'll save you, Clear Wing!"

"You're just delaying the inevitable." She smirks. "I activate the Spell Card, Call of the Windwitch! It lets me summon a monster from my hand whose Level is lower than my Winter Bell's, so I summon Windwitch - Aurora Bell!"

A new Windwitch had appeared. One similar to her Tuner monster, but instead of being blue and white, the bell seem to glow with many different colors.


[Name: Windwitch - Aurora Bell]

[Level: 1]

[ATK: 500]


"Aurora Bell? Since when did you have that monster, Rin?!"

"I've always had this card. I just didn't need it until now. When Aurora Bell is Special Summon I can Fusion Summon without Polymerization!"

"You Fusion Summon?!"

"I do now!" Rin jump off of Winter Bell and began free falling. "Watch as I fuse my Windwitch - Winter Bell with my Aurora Bell! These two are gonna merge to form a monster that will send shivers down your spine! I Fusion Summon! Windwitch - Crystal Bell!"


[Windwitch - Crystal Bell]

[Level: 8]

[ATK: 2800]


"Since when did you start using Fusion Monsters?!"

"Since I started wising up!" She replied, grabbing onto one of Crystal Bell's rings to stop her fall. "When I use Aurora Bell to Fusion Summon it equips itself onto Crystal Bell!"

"What's wrong with you, Rin?! You're dueling like an honor student of Leo's!"

"You're more right than you realize." She whispers. "Crystal Bell! Attack Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" This time the attack hits home and that attack sends him right over the edge of the tower.


Rin vs. Yugo

Field: N/A

[Turn 3]

Rin: 4000 LP [Hand: 0]

Yugo: (2500 - 1550) = 950 LP [Hand: 3]


She heard a crash, but she doesn't look back. She can't afford to feel bad. Her and Crystal Bell reached the bottom. She could see Yugo on his knees. Again, he looked to be okay. His helmet and his bike took most of the damage.

"Get up and duel." Rin order coldly as she hop down from Crystal Bell.

"Are you serious, Rin?! Look what you done! We spent weeks, months, building this Duel Runner together! Because this was gonna be our ticket to having a real life! Riding this Duel Runner was the only time we felt free! You couldn't have forgotten that! I know you haven't!" Yugo shouted at her, tears in his eyes. She refuse to feel any guilt. Too much was riding on this duel.

"I really don't care." The shock on Yugo's face said it all. "Crystal Bell lets me use the special ability of one monster in my Graveyard. And I choose Ice Bell to send a blast of biting air directly at you. Blasting away 500 more life points!"


Rin vs. Yugo

Field: N/A

[Turn 3]

Rin: 4000 LP [Hand: 0]

Yugo: (950 - 500) = 450 LP [Hand: 3]


"You're as bash up as that Duel Runner, while I am in perfect shape. Your life points are running low. Face it. You're through. So, I'll accept your surrender now."

Okay, so she felt a little guilty. Yugo still thought that she was Rin. And the way he spoke about her. It seem like he really did care for her. And here she was, knocking the kid left and right. Was she...doing the right thing?

"Me? Surrender? I don't think so. If there's one thing you should have remembered about me, it's the fact that I don't give up! No matter what! I travel through dimensions just for you! And you think I'm gonna turn back? When I'm this close to the finish line?" Yugo picked up his duel disk that laid on the ground. "If I did that then the real Rin, would call me a loser!" He slammed his duel disk onto his arm, discarding his broken helmet. "And I'm not a loser!"

"Stubborn as always...Zarc." She whisper quietly.

"I draw!" Yugo shouted.


Rin vs. Yugo

Field: N/A

[Turn 4]

Rin: 4000 LP [Hand: 0]

Yugo: 450 LP [Hand: 4]


"I summoning the Tuner monster, Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice!"


[Name: Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice]

[Level: 1]

[ATK: 100]


"Next I activate the Spell Card, Shadow Stepper and use your Windwitch - Crystal Bell to my advantage! You see, it lets me bring back a monster from my Graveyard whose Level is lower than your Crystal Bell's. So Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, you're making a comeback!"


[Name: Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]

[Level: 7]

[ATK: 2500]


"I tune my Red-Eyed Dice with Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, to pave the way for an even mightier dragon! Watch as the essences of this monster takes shape! Watch as it is forged by raw power! I Synchro Summon! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!"


[Name: Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]

[Level: 8]

[ATK: 3000]


She was a bit stun. He had another dragon?! Guess she wasn't the only one who could get new monsters.

"Now lets do this! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, attack! And due to its special ability, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon gains your monster's attack points! Swoop on it, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!"


[Name: Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]

[Level: 8]

[ATK: 5800]


"Think that's gonna work? Guess you already forgot about Crystal Bell's special ability. I get to use the special ability of any monster in our Graveyards! And I choose your very own Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"

"What?!"

"I'm using your own monster's ability against you to automatically destroy your Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!"

"Two can play at that game! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon's special ability destroys your monster as well!" She gritted her teeth.

"I'm still one step ahead of you! My Aurora Bell takes the fall instead of my Crystal Bell!"

"But my attack still gets through!" Crystal Wing slashed right through Aurora Bell, but the attack send her flying back. Hitting the ground with enough force to knock her for a loop.


Rin vs. Yugo

Field: N/A

[Turn 4]

Rin: (4000 - 3000) = 1000 LP [Hand: 0]

Yugo: 450 LP [Hand: 2]


When she came too, she felt someone's arms wrap around her. Who was...holding her? When she manage to open her eyes she could make out the form of...someone above her.

"Yu...go?" She open her eyes a bit more but it wasn't Yugo she was seeing. She was seeing...him. That silver hair, those golden eyes, that one in a million smile.

"Oh, Ray. You have such a weak heart. Your father thinks that the bracelets are the reason the world split into four, but we both know that isn't true. You wanted me to live. You wanted me to have a second chance. Even now, you're giving me a chance to surrender. It's a shame I won't show you the same kindness."

She thought about those words for a moment before she smiled. He was right. She did have a weak heart.

Slowly, Zarc's features melted away and all that was left was Yugo. He looked so relieved to see her. His eyes edged with tears.

"Now we don't have to fight anymore!" Yugo sobs joyfully into her shoulder as he hugged her close.

She wasn't fooled. She wouldn't be fooled again.

"But why when you and I are still in the middle of a duel?" Yugo quickly pulled away, staring down at her confused. "When Crystal Bell is destroyed, I can bring back Winter Bell and Aurora Bell from my Graveyard."


[Name: Windwitch - Winter Bell]

[Level: 7]

[ATK: 2400]


[Name: Windwitch - Aurora Bell]

[Level: 1]

[ATK: 500]


"Rinrin?" With a smile still on her face, she shoved Yugo away and stood up. "Aurora Bell allows me to fuse these two monsters and summon Windwitch - Crystal Bell once again. Then Aurora Bell equips itself onto Crystal Bell."


[Name: Windwitch - Crystal Bell]

[Level: 8]

[ATK: 2800]


"Aww man, I thought this was over!"

"It is over. Crystal Bell's special ability activates. I activate Ice Bell's special ability from the Graveyard, to deal you 500 points which will wipe out all of your life points!"

"No, wait!" Yugo cried but the attack already hit.


Rin vs. Yugo

Field: N/A

[Turn 4]

Rin: 1000 LP [Hand: 0]

Yugo: (450 - 500) = 0 LP [Hand: 2]

Outcome: Rin (Winner)


When Rin opened her eyes the first thing she noticed was that she was outside. The second thing she noticed was that her duel disk was on her arm. Had she been...dueling? The third thing she noticed was the Duel Runner.

It was completely smash to pieces. She was horrified. It could take years to fix that type of damage! Who could have done this?!

Then she spotted the helmet. Yugo's helmet to be precise. Rin bend down to pick it up. It was just as damaged as their Duel Runner. Cracks and scraps all over it. Rin's blood turned to ice.

Where was Yugo?

"Yugo?!" Rin called, looking around. She didn't have to look far.

He was lying on the ground on his back. Unresponsive.

"Yugo!" Rin raced over to him, kneeling beside him. He wasn't moving. "Yugo! Please! Wake up!" She shouted.

No response.

Rin couldn't stop her tears.

"Wake up, you dummy! You said we were going home!"

Nothing.

That's when she noticed the duel disk on his arm. Had Yugo been...dueling? But who?

Then Rin remember that pain she felt before she passed out and the odd sensation of dueling when she woke up. Had...had she dueled Yugo?

Rin tried to remember what had happen, but everything was a complete blank. She couldn't have dueled Yugo. Why would she? And even if she had, she wouldn't have...hurt him.

"Ray?"

Rin looked behind her. A middle age, tan skinned bald man was walking towards her. He wore a purple colored militaristic outfit with black buttons, a purple cape with a black ending, and a pair of gray boots. He had black gloves on his hands, but most noticeable of all was the armored plate on the left side of his head that had a red circular lens.

Rin quickly stood up as he approached. Who was this guy? He seem to know her. He had a bright smile on his face despite his creepy appearance.

"I knew you weren't gone, Ray."

Ray? That wasn't her name. Before she could even attempt to correct him, the man grab her by the shoulders and pulled her into a hug.

"I knew you were still there. Even if you weren't in their memories. You were so strong. Even like this, the Demon Duelist was no match for you."

Demon Duelist? He couldn't possibly mean...Yugo?

"Professor, we came as soon as we heard your order!" A trio of guards were now standing behind the man. Rin immediately recognize them as the guys who had kidnap her and put her in the tower.

That's when everything clicked into place for her. This man, the Professor, was the one who had order her kidnapping! Rin winded up and punch the man straight in the gut, causing him to hunch over in pain.

However, the guards were on her a second later, pining her to the ground.

"GET OFF ME!" She roared. "LET ME GO!"

"Don't hurt her!" The Professor gasped.

"But Professor-"

"Take her to the Throne Room. Place her in capsule C."

"What about the boy?" Rin watch the Professor spare a harsh look at Yugo.

"Throw him in the tower. Leave him to rot."

"Yes, sir!"

"NO! DON'T TOUCH HIM!" She struggle and fought with her captors.

"Spray her." The Professor order, realizing how much of fight it was going to be.

"Sir!" One of the guards answer. He pulled out a small bottle from his pocket and sprayed it right in her face. She tried not to breathe it in, but it was impossible. Soon she felt body go slack in their arms. It had numbed her.

Unable to fight back, Rin could only sob as she was separated from Yugo once again.

Angel: "Honestly, something 'like this' should have happen in the anime. Like, I know Ray wanted the girls to do their own thing, but I feel like she should have done 'something' against the parasites. If Zarc could do something about the parasites then why couldn't Ray? Plus, Ray needs the screen time."

Ray: "We all needed more screen time."

Angel: "...Very true."
