"Welcomed Arrival to Wonderland!"

Anzu looked at the doors. She sighed, the same doors that had led to this test. The same ones that had her in some place were she was wearing a blue dress with a white apron, and black shoes.
A face appeared on the door, and Anzu screamed. "Answer question I say, and you may enter."
"Ok." Anzu said.
"It is small, you cannot see. It glows, but you can only feel its warmth. It is always with you, through thick and thin."
"You said a question, not a riddle!" Anzu yelled.
"Answer my question, answer you must." said the door.
Anzu folded her arms. 'I can only use my monsters…' she thought. She pulled out her card deck and looked through them, her eyes lit up. "I know! It is Shinning Friendship. Something that is always there, you cannot see it, but you can feel its warmth!"
The door opened and Anzu ran forward. She continued on her way until she reached a fork in the road. She looked up in a tree to find a Petit Dragon. It looked at her. "What road should I take?" Anzu asked.
"What road? Well, the road that is right!" said the Dragon.
"So the right road?"
"No, I never said that! I said the road that would be right for you to follow." said the Dragon.
Anzu growled in anger. "Well what road would that be?"
"That is up to you!"
Anzu sighed. She then frowned.
"Trust in what your heart says!" said the Dragon.
"My heart?" Anzu asked. She blinked, and looked down to find Fairy's Gift. It tugged on her dress, pointing the road left. She then saw another monster, who pointed her right. "Trust my heart." She repeated. She then took a step left.
Yet the other monster wouldn't let that happen. It grew into a giant shadow. Anzu screamed, and Shinning Friendship appeared.
"Shinning Friendship, attack with Enchanted Dust!" Anzu yelled as Shinning Friendship aimed with it's Silver Bow and Arrow. It plunged it deep into the monster's heart, and it roared.
Anzu picked up her fairy and ran down the left path as a large explosion happened. She went flying, and screaming. Anzu hit a green hedge and looked up. She was in a maze. Anzu got up and walked down the path, her Fairy's Gift and Shinning Friendship following.
They walked for a long while, until they came upon a clearing. The clearing had three passage ways. The rabbit stood in the Middle.
"Answer our questions three, and pass you shall!" said the rabbit. "Answer out questions three, you shall have the spell to find your long lost piece of the triangle, yes!"
"Bring it on." Anzu smiled.
"Name the strongest Monster." stated the rabbit.
"Exodia, then the Ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon." Anzu said.
"Name the weakest Monster."
"Kourbrio and Skull Severant." Anzu said.
"Name the one that you have that gives you faith." The rabbit asked.
Anzu stopped. The Monster that gave her faith? She blinked, and frowned.
"Jou, what is wrong, you have been looking at that card for an hour." Anzu said.
Jou smiled, and stood. "Don't tell anyone, but when I'm dueling, I pretend it is me out there, kicking the other guys butt! The Flammin' Swordsman! He can kick anyone's butt!"
"Not my guy." said Honda. "The Cyber Commander!"
"What about you Anzu?" Jou asked.
"Hmm." Anzu looked through her deck. "I think this one, The Magician of Faith."
"It's kinda whimpy." Jou said.
"SHUT UP!" Anzu growled.
"What about you, Yugi?" Bakura turned to Yugi.
"Oh that's easy. Dark Magician hands down." Yugi held up the card. "And you, Bakura?"
"I like this one." Bakura held up his card.
Yugi gasped. "Isn't that the Change of Heart card?"
"Kinda a freaky picture." Jou said.
"Yes, well, I like it." Bakura said.
"Don't you find it silly comparing ourselves to these cards?" Anzu asked, as they sat around the campfire.
"No, I think everyone has a card they can relate to. You know, like grandpa said, putting a little bit of your heart in the game." Yugi smiled.
Anzu blinked as the memory stopped. She pulled out her Magician of Fath card, looking down at it. She smiled. "My Magician."
"Past the test have you!" the rabbit said. "And now, take your learning's, and what is your spell?"
Anzu thought. The questions of the bird. "Love." she said. Then the riddle. "Friendship." Next was the path choosing? "Faith, and finally this one, Knowledge."
"Past the test! Know your spell! Good yes, very good!" the rabbit cheered.

Jou shook Anzu. Her eyes had clouded over and she seemed spaced out. "Anzu come on, snap outta this! Anzu!"
Anzu blinked, and smiled. She shook her head lightly. "JOU LET GO OF ME!!"
"Yes ma'am…" Jou blinked.
"What happened?" Honda asked.
"I passed my test." Anzu smiled, she looked over at Yuugioh. The proud and tall pharaoh smiled, and nodded. "And I also know how to get the last part of the triangle!"
"Great!" Jou smiled. 'And now I can finally save Mai. I can't believe that I was weak enough for that Succubus Knight to steel her away from me.'
The Illusionist Faceless Mage smiled. "Once riddle more, we must ask before you go on."
"Ask it!" Yuugioh demanded.
"It is inside for life, and grows wings to sprout away one day." Said the Mage.
"Soul Release." Yuugioh said. "It is a powerful Magic."
"Beware of her you must! For she shall try to destroy you, yes she shall." The Mage warned. He then disappeared, leaving three door ways.
"What path do we take?" Honda asked.
Yuugioh sighed. "We must split up. I bet that they all lead to the same place anyways."
The doors sprang open, and they turned to see Sayaron. He was gasping for breath, and sheathed his sword. He looked at all of them. "I have to take at least two of you with me. I have been sent back by Eriol for a mission."
"How is Sakura?" Yuugioh asked.
"….." Sayaron looked away. "..no change." Yuugioh's head dropped. "And now, since Yami has suggested splitting up, it will be easier."
"I will go with Master and Lady Anzu." Dark Magician said. "Sister, go with Jou, Honda, and Master Sayaron."
"Yes brother." She nodded.
Sayaron nodded. He then led Jou and Honda down the right path.
Dark Magician watched as his sister followed Jou and Honda. He then began to walk down the middle path.
