I've recently asked my sister, Mink, if she would draw one of the characters upon my story. It was hard to come off of but she drew Jess with the Millennium Ring

As Jess entered the arena Malik looked really confident.

"I won't let you pass my occult deck." Jess sneered as she came up on the field. "I highly doubt it. Once I win I'll send you to the depths of the shadow realm" Malik replied laughing.

Before he put on his Duel Promo he crossed his arms with the Gauntlets and started chanting.

"Evil there fore of the gauntlets show your true form" He chanted then his gauntlets started glowing. "I'll show you something even a Millennium Item could never do!" Malik yelled as his hair and height changed. His eyes turned eviler then they were before and his voice changed into a low and horrible one.

"Now fear the power of Yami!" Malik said. He then grabbed his Duel Promo and slid it on his arm. "With my new power I'll win this duel". Pegasus allowed Malik the first turn.

"I'll set this card face down and summon Lady of Devils into attack mode (1700/1600)" Malik announced then ending his turn.

Jess drew her cards. "I'll play Lion's Reaver in attack mode! (1800/1100)" Jess announced. "Now! Lion's Reaver attack his Lady of The Devils!"

"I'll activate my trap card, Hakana Michizure, the card Daniel has" Malik said. Suddenly a giant crack appeared in the ground and it sucked in the Lion's Reaver after it destroyed Lady of The Devils, also reducing Malik's life points to 4900.

"And you know how it allows me to summon a monster from my hand, and I chose Revival Jam!" Malik announced. Malik then placed the card into attack mode, he then ended his turn after he place 2 cards face down.

Jess drew her card. "I now activate the magic card, Yeild Tribute to summon Gilfar Demon (2200/1200) from my hand without tributes!" Jess announced.

"His Revival Jam is in attack mode I can take out some of his life points" She said in her head. "Now! Gilfar attack his Revival Jam!"

The demon slashed it's claws at the slime causing it to explode into liquid pieces but then it revived it self and reduced Malik's life points to 3900. Since Revival Jam was revived it was placed into defense mode.

Jess then ended her turn to Malik. Malik drew his card, confident in his strategy. "I place Drone Guilt into attack mode (1900/100)" He announced. He then ended his turn.

Jess drew her card. "Axe of Despair, if I add this to Gilfar it's attack will increase and I can defeat his Drone Guilt with more attack power" Jess thought.

"I now activate the magic card, Axe of Despair to raise Gilfar's attack power to 3200. Now Gilfar attack Drone Guilt!" She announced.

"Then I'll flip my trap card over, Jam Defender which will protect my monster and have it attack Revival Jam instead" Malik announced as the demon flew at the warrior but the Revival Jam stopped infront of the demon taking the attack and being destroyed and revived

The score was Malik: 3900 and Jess: 5000. Malik hasn't tried anything to defeat Jess, yet. "I end my turn!" Jess yelled.

Malik drew his card. "I'll lay this card face down and sacrifice both Revival Jam and Drone Guilt to summon Hearing Vord of Darkness! (2600/2300)" Malik announced. "Then I'll play Vampire's Blood which will further increase my monster's attack to 3100!"

Malik's monster wasn't strong enough but he told himself he needed a strong team just in case. Malik some how knew when someone would draw a god card, by how confident they were. God Card weren't normal cards. They seemed to have a strong urge to come up when they have to.

Jess' confidence grew as she reached for her deck. She then quickly pulled the card. "Yes! God of Necrofear!" She said to herself.

"I'll activate the card, Turn off!" Malik ordered as he rose his trap card. "This trap card allows me to take the card you have drawn in replace of one of my own cards from my hand"

Pegasus gave the signal for them to switch. Malik walked over to Jess and got the card from her hand. "God of Necrofear, a good card to defeat someone" Malik said laughing.

Jess was in total shock. He some how knew she just drew that card but she couldn't get it off of her back. Malik then turned his hand to Jess. Jess finally came in order and looked at his hand and chose the trap card, Magic Reflection.

Jess had lost her God Card to Malik. She knew how her end would become. "I... I... end my turn..." Jess announced. She had no will to fight on with the duel.

"Great, because now I activate Monster Reborn and reborn my Lady of The Devils!" Malik yelled. "And to make things worse I now sacrifice Revival Jam, Hearing Vord of Darkness, and finally, my Lady of The Devils to summon the ultimate god, God of Necrofear! (4000/4000) To the effects of this god I revive my three monster I sacrifice back tot he field!"

Everyone else, except Paul was in total Awe as Malik had summoned God of Necrofear to the field. "Now you end here as I take out all your life points!" He yelled. "Now my spirit monsters, attack her life points directly! Take her out of the game!"

The monster charged passed Gilfar Demon and straight at Jess. The monsters tackled her and Jess yelled in pain as she was thrown to the ground.

"Malik wins this duel!" Pegasus said raising his hand to Malik. Malik laughed as his hair swished in the wind. "You were merely a rookie to me. It was that easy to defeat you" He laughed walking to her.

"No! Stop!" Allen yelled running up to the arena blocking her from Malik. "Out of my way, fool" Malik yelled as he swished his arm and suddenly Allen's mind went numb making him fall to the ground.

"Now I will shroud you in darkness" Malik said as he lifted his fist infront of Jess' forehead. Jess looked up to his fist then the last thing she saw was that very evil face. She went out and fell to the ground.

Pegasus couldn't do anything about it and Malik jumped down back to the floor. "What did you do!" Daniel yelled running at him. Mink pulled him back. "Your friend's soul is now in the shadow realm, you won't be seeing her" Malik went on. He started to laugh. "Why bother, you won't EVER see her true self again!". He then walked off laughing.

Allen came by and saw Jess laying there with her eyes dialated. "God, why. Why did he do this" Allen said looking down at Jess. "Because he wants me" Mink replied as she climbed up on the ladder. "He's serious about getting his Millennium Rod back"

The night grew dark as the moon fell behind the clouds. The group had lifted Jess to the hospital. Enya was in tears. "Are we ever going to see her again?" She asked.

"I've contacted Mr. Zisa, he said he doesn't know anything about those gauntlets and he's tried to free her but Malik has a spell which keeps him from freeing her soul" Daniel said as he came into the room.

Jess' eyes had closed but never made a move. "Malik will pay for what he did, I'll make sure of it." Mink said moving her head to Daniel. "Please, let me use the Millennium Rod to defeat him. If the spell goes down we'll be able to free her"

"Yeah, I guess you can" Daniel replied looking down at the ground. Allen sat by Jess' side. He couldn't even look at her or even thinking she was, dead.

"This is for Jessica." Mink said standing up and walking out the door. As Mink turned around back to the group for her last words Paul itnerrupted. "I'm sorry what happened" He said.

"Is that all? Your the one who started this! This is all your fault!" Mink snapped. Mink then passed him and slammed the door as she walked into her room.

"Ok, for the finale's we're going to an old tower which the final duelist dueled after Battle City. It was rebuilt after it was destroyed" Paul said. "It's a tower known as, Alcatraz Tower"

"Wait, you mean we weren't just flying around in circles for the whole time?!" Allen said standing up. "No, we've been traveling to the tower since we took off" Paul replied.

"The first duel on Alcatraz Tower will be with Malik and Mink. Then finally you and Me" He said looking at Daniel. "We arrive at morning". He then left the room to his own.

It was 4:30 and they'd start dueling at 10:00 in the morning. "Mink was right, this IS Paul's fault" Allen said clutching his fist. "Let's not think about it. Mink will defeat Malik for sure" Daniel said.

"THAT'S what you said when Jess was dueling Malik! Don't you have your doubts?!" Allen said practically yelling. "Your right, let's just hope Mink loses and we'll lose not one of our friends but two" Daniel said a bit angry.

"Guy's please, stop. The last thing we need is everyone to be separated. We've lost one of our friends but we'll get her back for sure!" Enya cried out.

Allen and Daniel both looked at Enya. "Sorry..." Allen whispered. "It's nothing, this is just driving me nuts" Daniel replied looking over at Jess.

Malik had arrived to his room before they had set Jess into the hospital office. "The Millennium Ring, not what I was expecting but now I have a stronger deck with Dark Necrofear and Demon's Tranquility" He said in his mind as he observed the ring.

The rest of the group went into their rooms. Jess, Enya, Allen, and Stagg were the first 4 to get eliminated in the tournament. There were 4 duelist left to be decided on the best and second best duelist in the world. Daniel viewed his deck. "Only two god cards... there's seven but we're missing one more. Mink will have to earn this god card some how" He said to himself as he looked through his deck.

Daniel could picture all the god cards in his mind, Ra, Obelisk, Osiris, Necrofear, Sobek, Anubis, Pyramid. They were all the seven god cards and yet there was one left to be found.

Mink looked through her deck. "These probably won't be enough to defeat Malik. God if only I had a god card I could defeat him. But then again he has God of Necrofear" Mink thought as she placed a card into her deck. "And this pain on my wrist is KILLING me!"

Mink rolled her sleeve up. Suddenly there was a ring around her wrist. "What the..." She said as the ring glowed. Then as the glowing brightened the ring grew into a design, like a tattoo around her wrist. "What the hell is going on..." She said looking at her wrist. Mink quickly hid it with her sleeve. "Jeez if anyone sees this they'll freak". She then clicked the lights and tried to go to sleep.
