Miz-K Productions presents:

Somewhere… near the Canary Islands…

Across the Atlantic Ocean, aboard a ship, three boys were pulling up sunken debris from inside. One boy in spiky hair called, "This is it! We found it!"

A boy in a big nose and glasses laughed, "This is great! We are proven that the E-Class are losers, for we have find a discovery, deep in the ocean~!"

They laughed evilly, as the huge crate was lifted from the waters. They hauled it in, as the first boy called, "What do you think is in it?"

The second boy laughed, "For a 100-year old crate? It could be anything!"

But what they didn't know it that the huge chest has a golden lock with a purple gem on it. The crate that is padlocked shut contains something. But what is it? Curious, they decided to pull it in. The boy in glasses cried, "NO WAY! WE GOT IT!"

The third boy said, "YEAH! Roll it in, before we celebrate! Mr. Asano wants that treasure!"

The boy in spiky hair said, "That thing looks long to be a treasure chest."

The boy in glasses yelled, "YOU'RE TAKING TOO LONG! Pull it higher!"

That evening, they managed to reel in the huge casket. The boy in glasses smirked, "Alright, let's open it and gloat about it at those Class E losers!"

The third boy said, "Hold on… We can't open it. It looks like this was locked from the inside. I can't seem to open it."

The boy in glasses yelled, "Who the hell cares? OPEN IT! We want to shove it in Nagisa's face! NOW!"

The third boy started to chip into the moss and barnacles, coated all over the chest. The imprinting on the golden lock shows a marking on it. It said… "M-I-O", with the M covered in moss. The third boy chipped off some of it, revealing it.

"M-I-O… Mio… What does it mean?" The third boy asked.

THe first boy yelled, being greedy, "WHO THE HELL CARES? JUST OPEN IT UP! We have to open it, first, and then return to campus and the Principal! Whatever is inside, it's all ours, and we shall rule over E-Class, forever! Now, hurry it up! The sun's going down! And I don't want to count my treasure, in the dark!"

The third boy walked to the controls of the boat and said, "Lemme get a blow torch… It's a good thing Mr. Asano gave us the tools."

The first boy cackled, "And then… we will divide our loot~!"

As they were about to open it, the sun was setting, showing a reddish sky, as the color of blood.

On a day like any other, a motorboat was found adrift and abandoned. The craft was undamaged and showed no signs of struggle. In the cabin, three cups of coffee were on the table, half-empty. And on the deck, an iron chest was on board, pried open, its lock melted away, laid open and empty. But the chest's unusual shelter-like chambers baffled discoverers, who had believed that it had contained a vast treasure. But interest waned, and before long… the chest was forgotten…

The Gang IN-ACTION!

At the same time, an ominous dark feeling flowed in the halls of a city jail. In one of the cells was a boy in spiky hair and a black coat. He was sitting in his jail cell, with a very dark aura surrounding him. Who is he? Is friend or foe?

Act III

Six months had passed, since The Gang's battle with the DNC, under the influence of a mysterious being… a vampire gynoid called "MIO". It was in New York that started another adventure for The Gang…

New York, NY – 2018

Meanwhile, Asahi was in the police station, as the policeman overviewed the man's description.

"Chazz Princeton – Age: 25; he's a graduate of the Duel Academy, and a former member of the Academy of Light faction (currently disbanded). He is an expert duelist in the game of duel monsters. His family is Jagger and Slade Princeton, older brothers and members of the Princeton Group."

Asahi said, "That's him."

The policeman asked, "Agent Sakurai, is there a reason why you're going to see him? Visiting hours are over."

Asahi said, "It's not that. Ever since the Academy of Light disbanded, he just left, before I had the chance to make amends."

A second police officer asked, "Yes, but why Princeton? He's an abandoner to his own kind!"

Asahi replied, "That's because I wanted to recruit Mr. Princeton… He's also my boyfriend."

The first officer asked, "Oh, you started dating?"

"About four months."

"Well, if you want him back, he's all yours. But I should warn you…"

Asahi nodded, and replied, walking with the police, "I understand. I know the dangers of thugs like them."

She gasped, "But exactly how many people did he assault? Is it that bad?"

The first officer said, "Relax, ma'am. He broke the bones of four thugs that we were after. One of them was an ex-boxer, and snapped fifteen of his bones, and he busted their balls. Eh, sorry for the details, lady, but I'll see if Loverboy comes back to you. As for those poor thugs, he sent them to the hospital; no fatalities. But he has to be shown the severity of the crimes."

Asahi said, "I get it. I'm surprised that you arrested him."

The second officer said, "We didn't. I'll explain, while we show you. The real issue is what happened, afterwards. But I got to tell you, whoever this guy is you're dating, he's a weird one."

Asahi was worried, as she was escorted to the jail cells. She was told that Chazz is placed in cell #8.

Asahi smiled, "Thank you for showing me to him."

The policeman barked, "Well, you can thank me by removing this punk from our cells."

"You're releasing him?"

"I'll explain the full details, once we arrive. By the way, since you're in New York, your English has improved. Just how long were you living in America?"

Asahi replied, "Since Farra, er, Agent Stevens was pregnant. I think it was five years, now."

The second policeman, "Anyway, this place has enough cells for all the criminals that we haven't backlogged yet."

The first policeman said, "This way, ma'am. We're almost there."

Asahi finds the cell, and ran to Chazz. She cried, "CHAZZ!"

As she was running to Chazz, she started to have flashbacks of his moments with Chazz.

Chazz said to her, "Why are you doing this?"

Asahi replied, "I'm sorry… It's just… I care for your safety…"

And in another moment, Asahi was holding Chazz in her arms, "There, there… Don't die on me, baby…"

And then, as they were standing together at the beach, he said to her, "Asahi Sakurai… I love you…"

Asahi blushed, as she whispered, holding his hands, "I… I love you, too…"

They shared a kiss together, as the flashbacks ended.

Asahi finds Chazz's cell, and found Chazz, sitting in his bed. Asahi cheered, "OH, CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ~! YOU'RE SAFE~!"

Chazz sat up and shouted, and was extremely furious:
"SHUT UP! GET OUT OF MY FACE, YOU BITCH!"

Asahi stopped, and then smiled, "Right. Sorry."

Episode XXI – Chapter 1: Chazz Princeton!
The Man with an Evil Spirit!

She said to the police, "What did he do to deserve this? This is not Chazz's own doing! He'd never do something like that!"

The first officer said, "Well, that's just the thing. As soon as we pinched him, he just said to let him into his jail. He couldn't explain why. He just surrendered and walked in, without caring."

The second officer kicked the bars and shouted, "HEY! On your feet, Princeton! You're being released! What part of "GO HOME!" do you NOT understand?"

Chazz replied, in a somber voice, "Asa, baby… You can leave. I'll be staying here for a while. Seems I'm possessed by an evil spirit, no different to those ridiculous Ojamas I have brethren… and I have no idea what it'll do, next. During that fight, it took all I had to stop it."

He lied down and concluded, "So, do me a favor, all of you, and leave this jail, and get out of my face…"

Asahi was saddened, as the first officer said, "Jesus Christ… Do you hear that? We decided to let him go, after he did a favor of beating up those lowlife thugs, and granted his freedom, but he refuses to be let go. I'm sorry if I have to ask you this, but are you sure he's right in the head?"

Asahi said, "Well, he never told me about his evil spirit. Sadly, I happen to despise Ojamas, since they're ugly. But I still love him."

Three prisoners appeared and tried to grab onto Asahi, reaching their arms out to her. They were in complete fright, as a bald-headed prisoner yelled, "LET US OUT! PLEASE, CONTROL THAT BOYFRIEND OF YOURS!"

Another with spiky hair hollered, "HE WASN'T KIDDING ABOUT THE EVIL SPIRIT!"

They continued to scream, as the first officer banged the bars, and then yelled, "ALRIGHT, ENOUGH! ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP!"

The first officer gasped in horror, as Chazz is chugging down a can of beer. He cried out, "WHAT THE HELL? A BEER? HOW DID YOU GET A CAN OF BEER INTO THIS CELL?"

He belched, as he was given a manga, by an invisible force, while listening to a football game. He responded, "Well, not that you care, but my evil spirit is in me… and sometimes, it can bring things."

The first officer yelled, "WHAT THE HELL? HE'S READING SHONEN JUMP, WHILE LISTENING TO THE FOOTBALL GAME?"

The second officer said, "This isn't a hotel, you know!"

The second officer called out, reaching for his gun, "This is a major problem! This man is evil! Shoot him down!"

Chazz called out, "HOLD IT!"

He stood up and approached the bars, "You don't believe me on this evil spirit? Then allow me to show you why I am serious… And maybe then you'll see why letting me out is a bad idea."

He suddenly pulled the gun out of the officer's pocket, as Chazz held his gun in his right hand. Asahi cried, "What? How did he do that?"

Chazz roared, "You didn't see it just now? Well, maybe this will convince you! Watch this…"

He placed the gun on his temple, as Asahi shrieked, "NO! CHAZZ!"

BANG!
Chazz shoots himself in the head, killing himself. However, he was still standing. The bullet that shot out of the gun was nearly at his skull, floating in midair. The bullet was thrown down, as Asahi applauded in astonishment. But Chazz said, "It's like someone is behind me, since the days of Duel Academy, long ago…"

Asahi thought, "I don't get it… My friends all have strange powers, except for Steven and Mundy… So, what's happening to my darling Chazz?"

Chazz turned away, as he was fuming, "Asahi, I'm sorry. But just go. I'm not ready to come out."

Asahi was furious, as she walked off. She then said, "Fine… I don't know what to say, except… I'm gonna get you out, one way or another, evil spirit or not!"

She left the police station, as Chazz whispered, in sadness, "Asa… I'm sorry…"

Days later at an airport in New York, Asahi was waiting for two men, one was huge with brown hair and a beard, and the other was wearing a purple suit and hat. It was Peter & Rook, Asahi's fellow agents. Asahi ran to Peter, as Peter waved, "Asa~!"

He shoved a man in a suit and boomed, "Excuse me!"

He approached Asahi and smiled, "What's up, brah? Good to see you again, after your time off~!"

Asahi smiled, "Hi… Thank you so much for coming, Peter…"

Peter said, "Well, I had to return to Darkveil, and if you need me for a day, I'll traverse the globe for you."

At the time, The Gang returned to their training spots, across the globe, to enhance their abilities. Asahi chose to stay in New York. Asahi hugged him tightly, as Peter said, "Hey, you can let me go…"

Asahi said, "Sorry… How's Miss Mizuki?"

Peter smiled, "Well, she's back in Targus City. We did tie the knot, after we trained. But since her doctor is busy upgrading her, I figured I needed me time…"

He then asked, "But still… About your boyfriend, Chazz… This evil spirit he has… What exactly is it, and did you see it?"

Asahi replied, "Well, no… But I saw a glimpse of it, when he tried to kill himself. And the bullet-. He was-. It was so-."

She wept, "It's like he had a third arm, not like his third arm that I enjoyed… except, the police never saw it, but I did…"

Rook asked, "And when this arm came out, no one else saw it, but you?"

Asahi said, "Yes. But what do I do? He says he's possessed, but I don't get it. And worst of all, he won't leave his cell…"

Rook nodded, "Peter… You think…?"

He nodded, "Hm."

Peter said, "Calm down. You've got Peter Giese, leader of B-Squad. No need to worry about this."

He snapped his fingers, as Rook stood up. He agreed, "Hm."

They left the airport, as Peter said, "Now, let's go see this Chazz Princeton… He can explain this, himself…"

The police chief was in fright, as there was more stuff in Chazz's cell. As Chazz was reading his manga, the chief said, "If this keeps up, our station will be downhill. Every day, he brings in more and more stuff from inside. And yet, he didn't budge. If something is possessing him, it is something not very nice… And he's gone violent, too…"

The chief then stepped back, "If word of this gets out, I'll lose my job in a heartbeat… Fine… If that's the case, it's my problem, and I'll do my best to get this guy out of here."

Peter appeared and said, "No! He's no longer your problem."

He showed his badge and said, "AAW-New York – B-Squad – Peter Giese. I'll be taking it from here."

Chazz thought, "Him again?"

The policeman shouted, "HOLD IT! That's far enough, sir!"

The chief cried, "You're better off not helping! It's dangerous! Convince him to leave, and stay from where-."

Peter barked, "I'll take my chances! Now, step aside and leave it to me!"

The chief cried, "We won't be held responsib-!"

Peter grasped both their necks and roared, "I SAID, MOVE IT!"

He threw them back and said, "Sorry."

Asahi called to Chazz, "Chazz, baby! This is a friend of mine! You remember Peter, right? Whatever's happening to you, he'll be able to help you! Trust me! This guy is known for observing the supernatural!"

Chazz walks to the bars, as he asked, "Supernatural, huh?"

Peter opened the cell doors, as he said, "Come out! It's time we talk about this… in the HQ…"

Chazz huffed, "Get lost! I don't need a fatass like you to help me, even if you are Asa's friend. You really think that you could help me? Sorry you came from Transylvania, but no one can help me… fatso!"

He held up a small piece of wood, as he gasped, "No way! That's from…"

He breathed black smoke from his mouth and recognized the timber, "That's deadwood from Kendra's garden. How and when in the world did he get it?"

Chazz gave the piece back and said, "So, did you see it, or even felt it? That's the evil spirit. Stay away from me, or I'll send you back to Transylvania, with what's left of your decaying body."

The cell door slammed shut, as Peter thought, "I've never seen anything like it. It's something I've never noticed before… What could it mean? He knew me, right off the bat. I know exactly what possesses inside Chazz Princeton… but a proper explanation wouldn't do us any good… My only option is to fight him in battle. But since he knew of who I am, and my powers are a bit low, I cannot volunteer. Actually, in order to truly know what danger he'll face with it, showing it to him is out of the question. He'll have to experience it, physically."

He put the wood in his pocket and called out, "Agent Rook, it's your turn now."

Rook tipped his hat to Chazz, as Peter introduced him, "I'd like you to meet a friend of ours, and a new member to the AAW team. He's also one of The Gang's members. He's a friend of our boss, Scarlet Riley. His name is Reginald Hadigan the 3rd."

Rook smiled, "Call me Rook, for short. But let's not make chat, for sorts."

Peter said, "Do what you need to do. Make sure this bozo gets out of his damn cell."

Chazz barked, "Back off! You look strong enough, but do you think you could chase me out of here, just so you could do it, pretty boy? I don't play like that. All you're making me do is stay here, even longer than before."

Rook said, "I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, Mr. Princeton. But in a few minutes, across the bars, you'll be riddled in so much pain, you'll be begging to leave this place."

Peter ordered, "Just do what you got to do!"

Asahi cried, "Peter! Rook! You can't be serious!"

The chief cried out, "NO, STOP! IF YOU DESTROY THIS PLACE, I AM ARRESTING YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LA-!"

Peter roared in a demonic voice, "ZIP IT, PIGS!"

The police stammered, standing in attention, "Y-y-y-y-y-y-yes, sir!"

Peter said, "Like I said, we got this."

Rook brimmed in a dark aura, holding his cane sword. Chazz stared at him, as he huffed, "Hmph. Gimme a break."

His aura shone, as he prepared to fight. Chazz gasped, as he saw a man, similar to Rook, only demonic, with muscles and pale skin.

"This is?" Chazz gasped, as Asahi cringed in fear, and Peter smirks.

Chazz Princeton has an evil spirit… likewise Rook. But what is the spirits inside them mean?
Do not worry. They're NOT Stands.
But be sure to tune in to the next exciting chapter!
