"What do you think Goodwin has to say Yusei?" Grieger asked.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling there's more to it than we're going to hear." Yusei said calmly.
"Attention citizens of New Domino City, as I'm sure you're well aware half of the competitors in the Fortune Cup have had their shot at victory cut short." Goodwin said. "However I am willing to offer two of them a second chance to advance. We shall randomly select two of the defeated duelists and they will have a special match, then the winner will be allowed to continue competing in the Fortune Cup."
The moment Goodwin said that, two screens appeared showing the faces of the four losers before Luna and Professor Frank's faces began glowing.
"Well, it seems we've been given a second chance Luna." Professor Frank said calmly. "Shall we?"
"Yeah, good luck." Luna said.
"I wish you the same Luna." Professor Frank said calmly.

"What's your game Goodwin, you don't give people second chances like this." Jack said.
"You should be well aware Jack, we were unable to determine if Luna was a signer in her previous duel. So we need to try again." Goodwin said calmly. "Should she still fail to demonstrate the mark then we'll know for certain that she isn't a signer."
"Of course unlike Greiger, Professor Frank assured us he would be able to get results with her. That's why he specifically requested a chance to duel her." Lazar said with a smirk.
"Wait, he requested a chance to duel her?" Jack asked.
"Yes, in fact he offered to lose his first duel once Luna was defeated by Grieger." Goodwin said calmly.
I have a bad feeling about this, Jack thought suspiciously.

"Let's duel." said Luna and Professor Frank simultaneously.
Luna 4000 Professor Frank 4000: "I'll go first, so I'll summon Sunny Pixie in defense mode and end my turn." Luna said calmly.
"That's quite the elegant monster you have Luna, let's see what I can do." Professor Frank said. "I'll set two cards and summon my Symmetry Rorschach in attack mode, now before I attack why don't you tell me what you see in my monster."
"What I see?" Luna asked before looking at Professor Frank's monster. "It looks like a fairy."
"I see, well then now I'll attack Sunny Pixie with Symmetry Rorschach, and now that I have you need to reveal the top card of your deck." Professor Frank said calmly.
"Kuribon." Luna said as she picked up her card.
"I see, in that case I end my turn." Professor Frank said calmly.
"Ok, in that case it's my turn again." Luna said. "I summon Kuribon in attack mode."
"I reveal my trap card, Light to the Depths." Professor Frank said calmly. "Now you send the top five cards of your deck to the graveyard, and then the top card of your deck will be added to your hand, alright Luna?"
"Ok." Luna said absently before sending five cards to her graveyard.
"Show me the card that was added to your hand Luna." Professor Frank said calmly.
"It's my Ancient Forest field spell." Luna said absently.
"Good, now activate your Ancient Forest Luna." Professor Frank said calmly.
"I play the field spell Ancient Forest." Luna said absently. "That ends my turn."

"What's wrong with her, she wasn't acting like this when I dueled her." Grieger said.
"Yeah, I agree. Something's up and I intend to find out what." Yusei said before heading towards the duel arena.
"Stop right there, Mr. Fudo." said a Sector Security guard. "Nobody is allowed to interrupt the duels."
"Sorry, but I need to make sure my friend is alright." Yusei said before punching the guard and knocking him out cold. What's going on with Luna, ever since that guy made his first turn she's been acting like she's possessed, he thought.

"It's my turn so first I'll play my Gestalt Trap, now I select one monster on your field and reduce its attack power to zero. Of course since the only monster on your field is Kuribon I'll pick him." Professor Frank said absently. "Now then, I equip my Immortal Homeostasis to your Kuribon and since your monster's attack points have been altered you will lose 300 life points each turn, of course in exchange your monster can't be destroyed in battle."
The moment Professor Frank said that, a crimson dragon claw appeared on Luna's arm and the two of them started staring absently into space.
"Next I'll sacrifice Symmetry Rorschach in order to summon Ido the Supreme Magical Force, and now I'll attack Kuribon." Professor Frank said absently just as Yusei ran up to them.
"What the, what's going on with these guys?" Yusei asked. "Wait, Luna's a signer."
"Whenever a monster attacks while Ancient Forest is in play the monster is destroyed during after it attacks." Luna said quietly.

"What the, where am I?" Luna asked looking around at the forest. "How did I get here?"
"Luna, Luna we need your help." said a voice into her mind.
"Who are you, why do you need my help?" Luna asked just as Kuribon, and Professor Frank appeared around her.
"Finally, I've finally made it into the Spirit World." Professor Frank said with a smirk.
"What's going on, why are we here?" Luna asked nervously.
"Luna, he is dangerous to this place. You must find a way to expel him from the Spirit World before he causes too much damage." the voice said.
"Now then, as for the Ancient Forest Ido the Supreme Magical Force revives itself at the end of my turn." Professor Frank said as his monster reappeared.
How am I supposed to make him leave, Luna thought nervously before her duel disc appeared on her arm. "Huh, wait is that how?"
"Make your move Luna, the sooner I defeat you the sooner the Spirit World's power will belong to me." Professor Frank said maniacally. (1)
"No, I won't let you hurt this place." Luna said. I only hope I can stop him, she thought.
(Goodwin has started a special duel to give one of the defeated duelists a chance to return to the Fortune Cup, but now Professor Frank has infiltrated the Spirit World. Next chapter the duel will end. As always any review or critique is appreciated.)
(1) (Professor Frank correctly believes that if he defeats Luna in the duel, she'll be expelled from the Spirit World leaving him to take its power for himself. If he wins the Spirit World will be destroyed.)
