***At a Secluded Alleyway Near the Park***





"Now Crystal," said Tori seriously. "If things are too rough on you or Yugi, you MUST tell us. Promise you will."

Crystal nodded.

"We promise!" Yugi said.

"Very well," Lenna stated. "You are the ONLY ones who will have seen us like this, besides Artemis and Yami..."

Before Crystal could ask what they meant, the two girls changed before them in a flash of white light. Crystal blinked and stared at them both, now with white dresses on and sashes running from the copper bracelets on their wrists, to the collar of their dresses. They held twin staffs in their hands, standing as tall as to their necks from the ground up.

Lenna nodded at Tori and they pulled out their decks...

"Dueling decks!?" Yugi exclaimed.

(NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING CARDS DO not EXIST! I REPEAT do not EXIST! WE CREATED THEM AND HAVE DIBS ON THEM! IF ANY ONE OF THESE CARDS are REAL, WE DON'T OWN THEM! BUT THAT'S THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCE!)

Tori nodded quickly and pulled the top card. She threw it up into the air and it spun in a circle. Pointing her staff forward, she yelled. "I SUMMON YOU, EMERALD EYES!"

There was a spinning cyclone of light and then, standing before the four of them, a little girl with green eyes and an emerald dress on.

"Emerald Eyes, attack the girl!" Tori exclaimed. "SONG OF RAIN ATTACK!"

"Wha!?" Crystal exclaimed, dodging aside as the attack spiralled towards her.

Lenna drew a card and grinned. Why not play with them a little with the easy cards first? She tossed it forward and pointed her staff at it.

"I SUMMON YOU, FIRE ANGEL!" Lenna screamed.

A beautiful girl with golden wings and a red dress on appeared.

"Attack the boy! Use Prayer of Flames!"

"Yah!" Yugi exclaimed, running away.

"We're not going too easy on them," Tori muttered to Lenna as she drew her next card. "Maybe we should stop for now."

"No way! This is as easy as it gets! Have them run a while, and then, you can pull out your dragon."

"My dragon!?" Tori exclaimed. "Is that wise Lenna?"

"Sure," Lenna replied. "I mean, it has to be realistic."

"I guess..." Tori stated, tossing the next card forward. "I SUMMON YOU, WATER ILLUSION!"

Crystal and Yugi stared at the shifting wave of water in front of them, colors of blue, purple and green.

"What's up with this?" Crystal asked. "I've never seen these before!"

"Yeah!" Yugi exclaimed, hoping that his fears were reaching Yami, so that he could feel the need to help.

"IMAGE REFLECTION!" Tori exclaimed.

The water turned to ice and was solid.

"Huh!?" the two confused teens said.

"Why isn't it attacking?" Yugi asked.

"Lenna!" Tori yelled.

"I SUMMON THE ICE TIGER! AND...PULMERIZATION!" she exclaimed, tossing two cards forward. "FUSE IN ONE!"

The tiger of ice grew larger and larger, combined with Tori's Water Illusion.

"ATTACK!" the two Egyptians yelled. "WITH IMAGE REFLECTION ICE BLADE!"

Just then, a waving barrier broke in front of them, rippling like a droplet of water onto the surface of a pond.

"What!?" Lenna and Tori exclaimed, taking a step back in unison.

There was a blazing light and then, the alleyway was empty.





***Don't YOU Want to Know Where They All Went!?***





Yugi blinked and got up. He shook Crystal who was laying on the ground, not moving. She slowly stirred, blinked a few times and then got up as well.

"Hey look," he whispered, pointing.

A man in a light colored tunic and robes stood before the four of them.

"Lenna and Tori," said the man. "Once again you're dealing with something you shouldn't have gotten involved in. I warned you."

Tori and Lenna glared.

"We promised to protect Artemis until the end. And we will not stop."

"Typical. Fine then," he said, drawing his staff forward. "You'll have to deal with me! I WILL destroy Yu-Gi-Oh and you cannot stop me! Then, I'll finish off your pityful little sorceress!"

Lenna stood her guard and Tori pulled her staff in front of her to protect her. They moved in front of Crystal and Yugi, blocking away anything that might come as an attack.

"TAINTED SOUL OF DOOM!" Null exclaimed. (K.C/A.B: Whoa there...)

"Shoot!" Tori exclaimed as the attack came whirling at them.

"ORANGE SHIELD!" Lenna yelled, tossing the card just in time as a barrier blocked the attack.

Crystal and Yugi just stared, afraid. They couldn't conceal it any longer. It was pure fear. Yugi realized they were in the Spirit Realm and it was making things worse on both of them. They couldn't keep enough energy to stay consious for long.

"We won't give up," Tori yelled, breaking Yugi's thoughts. "I SUMMON, THE SILVER EYES, CRIMSON DRAGON!"

"AND I SUMMON," Lenna screamed, "THE GOLDEN EYES, EMERALD DRAGON!"

The two cards flew forward and the faces emmitted a bright light. With magnificent roars, loader than a crashing waterfall, two dragons appeared.

"Silver Eyes, attack using Flaming Gaze!" Tori exclaimed.

The dragon roared and bright red energy glowed around it's body as it created large beams of energy, headed straight towards Null.

"Golden Eyes!" Lenna yelled. "Use Jade Wind!"

The large dragon gathered energy and streams of bright green wind assaulted Null.

"Pityful," he said as the attacks came, raining towards him. "MYTHIC DRAGONSLAYER! RESTRAIN!"

Suddenly, an armed knight stood before them, a sword drawn and ready.

Crystal and Yugi shivered behind the two Egyptian girls.

The dragonslayer threw his sword forward, lunging at the hearts of the dragons.

"SILVER EYES!" Tori yelled. "DEFENSE!"

"ATTACK THE DRAGONSLAYER, GOLDEN EYES!"

The dragonslayer slashed the crimson dragon and it disappeared, shattered into red shards of flaming glass. The emerald dragon, however, succeeded in destroying the dragonslayer.

"Silver eyes..." Tori whispered, shaking.

"Don't worry Tori," Lenna replied in a determined tone. "We've still got Golden Eyes."

Tori glared at Null and pulled another card. "I SUMMON THE PHOENIX OF ASH!"

A screech was heard and a flaming bird appeared before them.

"Come forth, GUARDIAN OF THE TOMB!" called Null.

"No!" Lenna yelled.

"ANNHILIATION!" he screamed.

The large giant sent a wave that blew everything backwards towards the "wall" on the other side of the "room". (K.C: It's in the Shadow Realm, so everything's not what it seems.)

"NO!" Lenna screamed again.

The four got the wind knocked out of them as they slammed against the "wall".

The attack blew away Lenna's dragon and the phoenix.

"My-my dragon," Lenna gasped before she started into a fit of coughs for breath.

Tori raked the "ground" with her fingers and then picked up her staff, laying only a feet away. She used it to help her stand. She slowly started to walk back towards Null.

"Tori!" Lenna exclaimed, but then she turned to Yugi and Crystal.

"Are you alright?" she asked, concern ringing through her raspy voice.

"Yeah," Crystal whispered, trembling.

Yugi nodded and stared, frightened.

"Phoenix Reborn," Tori whispered, a softly glow emminating from the ground.

"Of course!" Lenna exclaimed. "I've seen her use this so many times..."

"What?" Yugi asked, but his question was answered before he even asked it.

From the ash that sat on the ground, a new bird was being born. It stretched it's wings, crimson feathers falling to the cold "floor". It screeched in triumph and rose, beating it's wings powerfully, above Tori.

"BLOOD TIPPED WINGS!" she screamed. She took her staff, jumped upward and sliced the phoenix on both it's wings.

It yelled and threw the attack toward Null's monster in an array of blinding red.

Tori landed with a soft clud on the ground, feet first.

"She-she hurt her own monster!" Yugi exclaimed, shocked.

"No," Lenna replied, getting up. "The phoenix can be reborn again and again."

As she said these words, a phoenix rose again, born from the ashes of the last.

"It's not powerful enough to destroy that Guardian of the Tomb though!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Yes. I know," Lenna replied. "And I don't have anything strong enough either. Even if we did use Pulmerization...it still wouldn't be strong enough."

"What can we do?" Yugi asked, fear reaching him.

Just then, Null threw an attack toward the violet-eyed girl. She fell backward and skimmed the ground. A cut on her shoulder was made and blood started flowing. She grimaced in pain and couldn't move.

"Tori!" Lenna yelled and ran over to her friend.

"Yugi, we shouldn't have ever done this!" Crystal exclaimed. "Artemis...please help us!"

Yugi started to cry. "I don't want anyone hurt anymore!"

"Be not afraid, my Hikari," Yami said, stepping out of the shadows. (K.C: ACK! *falls over*)

"Yami?" Yugi asked.

Behind him, Artemis appeared.

"Artemis!" Crystal exclaimed, the worry slowly melting away.

Yami closed his eyes and there was a flash of light. K.C: YES! ANOTHER CHAPTER DOWN!!!! *does happy dance*
