Chapter 2: Saving a New SoulThe four girls stood together and determined to save their friends. Ishizu took her hand from the group and placed it in front of her necklace along with her other hand forming a triangle before the eye of her necklace.
" I call upon the ancient Shadow Powers, hear my cry. Open a door to the other side. Be it far or be it near, bring me the Shadow Door here!" Ishizu spoke this short chant repeatedly as Mai, Tea, and Serenity watched. The three girls held their arms above their eyes as purple sparks began to fly and materialize before their eyes.
"What is going on," cried Serenity as she covered her eyes with her hands, protecting them from the harsh burst of light the sparks were emitting.
"Ishizu is opening us a gateway to the Shadow Realm. That's where Yugi and the others are," said Mai as she put her arm down and stared into the glaring sparks that were trying to tear through the dimension. Mai stood behind Ishizu and placed her hand on Ishizu's shoulder and closed her eyes, concentrating as hard as she could, hoping to give Ishizu more power to unlock the gate. Mai never thought she would be the first person to help anyone open a gate to the Shadow Realm. After Marik had tried to send her on a permanent trip to that place, Mai knew she never wanted to tread back into a world of such darkness and loneliness. She had to though. She couldn't let Yugi be devoured by such gloom and the eternity of being left all alone. Mai felt a rush of energy. It tingled up her spine and felt it burst out of her heart like a bomb. What was this energy? This feeling? Was it love? Was it friendship? Or maybe it was a mixture of all these things that burst from her inner soul. Mai was glad to have friends. She had spent too many years completely alone and she couldn't let the only people who brought meaning into her life be taken away by the darkness and hatred. Mai looked over to see a hand on Ishizu's other shoulder – it was Tea. Serenity walked over to Mai and held Mai's other hand. Serenity also grabbed Tea's other hand thus forming a triangle of emotion. Mai felt the energy that burned in her heart and soul grow larger. These were her friends. True friends. Mai now knew what made Yugi's heart burn and keep going – his friends. Mai knew these were her friends without a doubt and she was willing to fight to keep them, even die for them. Even the annoying ones like Tea.
The girls closed their eyes and pressed everything that fired within them from their hearts into Ishizu. In a bold burst and explosion, a giant vortex opened before the four girls. They opened their eyes, as the vortex seemed to be like a giant vacuum pulling at them. Their hair began to blow past their faces. The girls struggled to keep a firm grip on the ground.
"Is that the doorway," screamed Tea as she tried to push her head sideways to keep her blowing hair out of her eyes. Tea's boots began to scrape across the pavement surface as the vortex pulled harder. Ishizu turned and grabbed Mai by the hand. All the girls stood in a row together, hand to hand.
"Hang on to each other no matter what. If we let go of one another we can get sent to different parts of this dimension and never get back together. Don't let go," screamed Ishizu as she pulled the group into the ever roaring purple vortex that sparked lightning and wind.
The girls were flying very viciously as the explosions of wind threw them around the vortex. It was hard to breath and all they could see was swirling purple energy and lightning. They focused to peek through their eyes as giant blasts of wind beat them in the face and all over the vortex. Mai struggled to keep Serenity's grip. Serenity's hand was so small and it was covered with her nervous sweat. Mai grasped her hand harder but she was still slipping.
"I can't let Serenity go! She's like my little sister! I can't let her leave me too," thought Mai as the thought of being left all alone rushed through her mind again. Serenity's hand slipped out of Mai's a little further. Mai was connected to Serenity by the tip of their fingers. Mai fought the hardest she could to keep Serenity connected to her.
"This is my girl! This is the closest thing I've ever had to a sister. I'm not giving her up without a fight," thought Mai as she gritted her teeth and struggled her hardest to stay connected with the young red head. Another blast of wind shot between Serenity and Mai breaking their grip. Mai's arm was thrown behind her and she was hurdled sideways with only Ishizu holding her in place.
"Serenity! Noooooooo! Don't go! I'll find you," screamed Mai as she watched Serenity and Tea get blown away from them. She watched as the two girls faded into the dark hole that hungered to tear them apart. Mai felt alone, as two more of her friends had been torn away from her by the darkness. Was this the only reason Mai was meant to live so that the closest things to her heart could be snatched right away? Tears trailed down Mai's face as she struggled to keep her hands entwined with Ishizu. Ishizu peered over at Mai to see the grief pouring down Mai's face.
"Don't let go of me Mai! It will be okay! I won't let us be lost in this darkness," screamed Ishizu as she braced Mai's hand as hard as she could. Mai knew Ishizu cared. Ishizu had a big heart but Serenity was gone. Yugi was gone. Even Joey. Mai would never admit it but she did love Joey and she couldn't imagine her life without him in it. Joey had done so much for her. He fought to pull her out of the Shadow Realm when Marik had sent her there. He lost but he never gave up on her.
Mai flashed back to the day that Yugi beat evil Marik. Joey came into her room to see if she had awoken. She had awoken from her coma but she thought it would be funny to pull a prank on Joey and make him think she was still in her coma. Mai recalled Joey laying his head on her stomach and crying for her to come back. He told her he would give anything to have her back.
Tears flowed down her face faster as she cried harder. Everyone began to fade from her life. Why did this have to happen to her? Was her life meant to be lived for torment and a life without love? All Mai wanted was to be accepted and loved, and the ones who did were rapidly being torn from her life in the blink of an eye.
Tea and Serenity swirled in the darkness of the vortex. Serenity latched onto Tea's waist with both arms. Tears were blasted from Serenity's face by the ever-pulsing blasts of wind. Serenity had lost Mai and felt deserted. She knew Tea would be here for her but Mai was her BEST FRIEND! How could she lose something so precious to her? Something so dear to Joey? Tea put her arms around Serenity's head trying to calm her. Tea began to cry as well.
"What if I lose Serenity? Am I supposed to face this world all alone and hope to find my friends in the end? Can I even rescue Yugi and Joey? What about Kaiba and Bakura? And poor Marik just started his life out on the right foot and its being taken away from him. I have to be strong! I have to stay focused," thought Tea as she raced through the vortex. Another blast of air hit Tea. It sent Tea spiraling and ripped Serenity away from her. Tea reached to try to grab hold of Serenity but missed her by inches. The darkness had torn them apart once more and sent them soaring in different directions.
"Tea! Tea! Please don't let me go alone!" Serenity's voice was muffled by the crack of lightning and the howling wind. Tea felt lost and confused. She was alone now as was Serenity. Had they already failed what they had set out to do?
Ishizu grasped Mai's hand harder than ever. Mai seemed to have lost all hope as her head was bowed down and her hair fought in the wind. Her tank top was soaked in tears and her mascara left black trails down her cheeks. Ishizu was determined not to let Mai wander this place alone again! They seemed to be flying through the vortex even faster and things had begun to become more forceful. The wind swirled harder and the lightning bolts had become more recurrent and the bellowing thunder was loud enough to blow out one's eardrums. In one flash of a moment, a white bolt of lightning intercepted Mai and Ishizu's bond, electrifying the two girls. Mai was blown away from Ishizu, as Ishizu seemed to disappear away into the dark abyss of purple energy. Mai now knew she was truly alone and the only person she could count on was herself. She had to be strong and go all the way for her friends. Mai erupted into tears of love and fear. She didn't want to leave the Shadow Realm unless it was with her friends. At that moment Mai made a promise to herself that she wouldn't leave the Shadow Realm without all her friends and if she had to, she would die to set them all free.
The four girls traveled in the vortex alone. Each prayed that the others were okay. Thoughts rushed through their heads of life, death, love, and their friendships. Would friendship conquer this obstacle? Maybe friendship had met its match this time? Had love also been shattered? The girls gritted their teeth, as they seemed to be thrown through the vortex like rag dolls.
……………………all was silent……………..darkness…………………………….
Ishizu opened her eyes. She was lying still and looking at an old fragmented ceiling. Ishizu sat up holding her forehead.
"Where am I? Is Mai here? Am I in the Shadow Realm," thought Ishizu as she struggled to focus her eyesight. She looked down and her jaw fell open in complete fear. She was sitting in an old wood crate casket upon an altar. Ishizu looked around. It seemed to her like an old abandoned church cathedral. Ishizu crawled out of the casket carefully, afraid that she was going to wake the dead. She slid off the altar and descended down the stairs. Holes gaped the roof and walls as cold air swept through them and across the church floor. It was so dark and cold and it felt like she was being watched. Ishizu shuddered and walked slowly down the middle aisle of old ruined pews. She noticed candles were lit and they vibrated a small amount of light in the church- just enough to where she could make out shapes and see where she stepped next.
"Is THIS the Shadow Realm?" thought Ishizu as she continued to make her way across the ice-cold floor. The cold pierced her sandals and her feet felt completely frozen. Ishizu jumped as she heard a banging clatter.
"Somebody let me out of here! I can't breathe," screamed a voice from behind Ishizu. Ishizu's heart plummeted into her stomach when she heard the voice. She recognized the voice – it was her brother, Marik. Ishizu turned and saw a massive black metal coffin sitting on an altar opposite of hers. She ran to the coffin putting her hands on the icy metal case. She pulled to open it but it was locked. There was a small keyhole below the latch. Ishizu pulled harder but to no prevail.
"Marik! It's me, Ishizu! I'm going to get you out! Hang on brother," screamed Ishizu as she scanned the church with her eyes for something to break into her brother's coffin with. What was she to do? Before long all the air in his coffin would run out and he would suffocate. She would have to listen to agonizing screams of her brother dieing before her and she wouldn't be able to stop it. How could anyone feel so powerless? Ishizu ran back across the floor towards the giant entrance door. Before Ishizu could take another running step her feet were torn out from under her and she flew through the air landing face first into the cold wooden planks of the floor. She pushed herself up on her arms and touched her face. She jerked her hand back from the stinging sensation of the scratched wound on her cheek.
"Who said you could leave here," a voice said from a dark corner next to the door. Ishizu looked up from her low position on the floor into the shadows to see two glowing red eyes. What was it? A demon? Or maybe it was an evil spirit? But the voice sounded familiar. One she had heard before. Ishizu kept her eyes on the shadows as she pulled herself from the floor.
"Show yourself! Or are you a coward," shouted Ishizu as she squinted her eyes and glared into the dark corner. The figure wouldn't come out. Ishizu placed her hands in triangle formation around her necklace as she had done to open the portal. Light illuminated from the eye of her necklace. The darkness was dissolved as the light from he Millennium item poured over the church. Ishizu couldn't believe who stood before her. Was it a person? It couldn't be. What was IT?
Ishizu stood before….another Ishizu! How was it possible? Were there any answers to solve this mystery? The girl stepped out from the bare corner. She withdrew a black leather whip from her hip and unraveled it. WHO WAS THIS PERSON?! The girl lashed her whip at Ishizu catching Ishizu across the other cheek. Ishizu hurtled backwards into a pew breaking it all to splinters. The light from her necklace faded but she was still aided by the tiny twinkling light of the candles. Ishizu felt blood trickle down her cheek and it stopped as it entered the corner of her mouth. She tasted the bitterness and it made her feel like she was back home again with her raging and violent father. That was along time ago and memories she thought she had rid herself of. Their father was abusive and hateful and that is where evil Marik had sprouted from. She closed her eyes as she forced the thoughts out of her mind.
"Who are you!? Why do you look like me?!" screamed Ishizu as she pulled herself up with the broken pew. The girl stepped out of her corner and revealed herself into the dim light of the moon that glowed through the holes of the roof. The girl was the EXACT image of Ishizu. Only she was dressed in black leather pants and a small black leather top that was in the design of a bathing suit top. She stood a few inches taller than Ishizu for her black spiked heals finished off her dominating attire. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail clamped with a silver cuff. The only thing they had in common, fashion-wise, was the black markings around their eyes. The girl stood in a confident stance with her weight shifted to one hip and the whip lingering to the other side.
"Don't tell me you never heard of Doppelgangers," laughed Dark Ishizu. Her voice matched Ishizu's perfectly except it seemed to be merged with a very demonic side as well. Her eyes glowed fierce red once more. Goosebumps ran across Ishizu's arms and nervous butterfly's beat against the walls of her stomach.
"Let my brother out of that tomb," demanded Ishizu as she stood mere inches away from her Doppelganger's face. Dark Ishizu laughed, covering her mouth with her whip-free hand.
"Why would I want to do that? Personally, I liked the old Marik! Do you not realize that was his Doppelganger that possessed his body?! We creatures can't take over our earthly bodies unless they accept us and call upon us. Your brother did just that. How I envy Yami Marik! Getting to walk upon the earth and create such chaos among mere mortals," laughed Dark Ishizu as she threw back her head and let out a demonic cackle. Ishizu's anger fired high and she wanted her brother back.
"I have an idea," grinned Ishizu. Dark Ishizu glared at Ishizu with her hell-red eyes.
"What is that you pathetic human," snapped Dark Ishizu as she rolled up her whip and latched it back to her hip.
"I challenge you to an ancient game of Duel Monsters! If I win I get the key to my brother's casket," said Ishizu as she pulled her deck out from her pocket. A sinister smirk slid across Dark Ishizu's face. She seemed to savor the idea of a duel!
"Don't forget fool! This is the Shadow Realm! That means it turns into a Shadow Game! I think I'll just up the stakes for this game. I may live in the Shadow world but I am well aware of all the rules of dueling. As always we'll start with 4000 life points but in this game our life points will be connected to our heartbeat! Your life points run out then your heart stops! Sounds like fun to me," remarked the demonic being. Ishizu knew the dangers of Shadow Games and Shadow magic. That was one reason Ishizu never harnessed the powers of her necklace unless she ABSOLUTELY had to. Her necklace may be an ancient relic but it was also a curse, filled with the darkest magic ever. Ishizu looked over her shoulder at her brother's casket and then back at Dark Ishizu.
"I accept! Lets duel," demanded Ishizu. Ishizu's arm began to glow. A Duel Disk appeared on her arm as well as her Doppelganger's. They stood in the open space of the cathedral right in front of Marik's coffin. Purple fog swept across the floor. The Shadows were hungry for this game. A small ball of light appeared where Ishizu's heart was, as did Dark Ishizu. The girls shuffled their decks and placed them in the duel disks.
"Since I challenged you I will go first," said Ishizu as she drew six cards. Ishizu scanned her hand and figured out her opening move. Ishizu raised a card to the sky and then threw it down into her duel disk.
"I'll start by summoning the Shining Angel (1400/800)! Then I will end my turn," said Ishizu as a masculine angle with gold wings appeared before her. The light that surrounded him glowed upon the church walls. Dark Ishizu squinted her eyes as it caused them to ache.
"Time to get rid of that damn angel! This is no place for a creature like that!" Dark Ishizu slapped a monster into her duel disk. A giant dog with red eyes and the horns of a ram appeared on the floor.
"Say hello to my Mad Dog of Darkness (1900/1400) and goodbye to your pathetic angel! Mad Dog! Attack him now," screamed Dark Ishizu as she raised her finger at Ishizu's angel. The dog tore rabidly across the field and bit into the Shining Angel's neck. Her angel hollered in agony and faded away like a ghost. The life point meter on her duel disk began to drop. It was at 3500. Ishizu grabbed her chest. It felt like someone had skewered her through the heart with a spear. Her heart throbbed and she could hear it beating in her ears. She fell to her knees trying to catch a breathe of air hoping it would soothe the agonizing pain of her heart. Dark Ishizu cackled as her Mad Dog walked back to her. It sat before her as she stroked it across the head.
"How does it feel?! Fun, huh? That's just the beginning Ishizu my dear! Just think how much more it's going to hurt as your life points drop further! Oh and don't forget, as your heartbeat slows down you'll become weaker. You may not even last the entire duel! You could possibly die before your life points run out! Oops! Did I forget to mention that," screeched the homicidal Doppelganger. Her Mad Dog reared back it ugly lip revealing a row of razor-sharp teeth as if smiling to his master's comment. Ishizu returned to her feet as the glowing light around her heart started to beat a little slower. Dark Ishizu covered her eyes as a light exploded from the middle of the field causing her Mad Dog to rise in attentiveness.
"Another Shining Angel!? But how," screamed Dark Ishizu as her black marble like eyes reflected off the light. The angel hovered over the field with a cocky smile across his face.
"When you destroyed my first Shining Angel you activated his special ability. It let me Special summon another light monster from my deck with an attack of 1500 or less in attack mode to the field. Now it's my turn! I place my Soul Tiger in defense mode (0/2100)! Then I will equip my Shining Angel with Horn of the Unicorn! Now he has an attack of 2100! Shining Angel! Demolish her Mad Dog of Darkness!" A sparkling gold horn emerged from his forehead. Shining Angel's hands began to glow and with one hand raised in front of him, he blasted an arrow of light into the Dog's heart. Blood tattered the dirty floor. The Mad Dog of Darkness fell to the ground and whined as he the Shadows devoured him. Dark Ishizu's life point meter dropped to 3800. But what was this?! It had no affect on her heartbeat!
"Why isn't your heartbeat decreasing," questioned Ishizu with a puzzled stare on her face. The redness glared across Dark Ishizu's eyes for one shadowy moment.
"YOU FOOL! I DON"T HAVE A HEART! I'm evil incarnate! What do I need a wretched heart for? To slow me down and second-guess all my evil beliefs?! Now I have you right where I want you," laughed Dark Ishizu as she looked down at the shimmering ball around her "heart". Nothing changed as it continued to "beat" at its same tempo. Ishizu felt her determination diminish. How was she going to beat her evil side? Every time Ishizu lost life points her heart lost some of its "horse power". But when her evil side lost life points she was still as strong as ever! Was there any way to stop this psycho? Ishizu placed a card face down behind her monsters. A giant image of a face down card appeared in front of Ishizu. Ishizu ended her turn giving control to her dark side. Dark Ishizu drew a card.
"Ha! First I will summon my Dark Elf (2000/800) in attack mode! Then I will lay one card face down." A beautiful elf with long purple hair and tan skin appeared before Ishizu's two monsters. Ishizu looked at her evil counterpart with a stare that questioned her move. Dark Ishizu just smiled.
"It has to do something with that face down card," thought Ishizu. Dark Ishizu ended her turn with an evil grin that spread like wildfire across her face. Ishizu wasn't stupid. She had been playing duel monsters since she was a kid and she knew the Doppelganger was trying to snare her in a trap. Ishizu drew a card.
"Now I will summon Spirit of the Harp (800/2000) in defense mode. Then I will set another card face down." Ishizu now had two cards face down and three monsters on the field. She decided to wait to attack. What if it cost her life points? She didn't know how long she could last out with her heart energy diminishing.
"Your move Doppelganger!" Dark Ishizu drew another card. Her eyes looked over her cards. She seemed to be enjoying the duel and watching the torture of her human body. Dark Ishizu's eyes widened and she began to laugh with her demonic, shrill voice.
"First I will sacrifice my Dark Elf to summon…THE BEAST OF TALWAR!" A giant beast erupted through the wooden floor with two giant swords in its hands. Its eyes glowed red like magma and a foul odor emerged from its nostrils. It towered over Ishizu and her monsters. Ishizu activated one of her face down cards.
"Activate face down card," screamed Ishizu as one of her cards revealed itself. A portal opened behind Ishizu and it glowed with the brightest golden light ever. White energy beams spouted from it and projected in Dark Ishizu's directions. Two beams shot through Dark Ishizu's body.
"What was that," screamed the Doppelganger as she looked down at her duel disk. What was this? Her life points had went from 3800 to 2600. They dropped!
"I activated my Solar Ray card. For every light monster on my side of the field, it inflicts 600 points of damage to your life points directly. I have two light monsters on my side of the field so I was able to rid you of 1200 life points." Dark Ishizu was infuriated. She played another card from her hand since it was still her turn.
"Kiss that other face down card goodbye Ishizu! I activate Mystical Space Typhoon, which lets me destroy one magic or trap card on the field." A giant tornado burst through the cathedral ceiling destroying Ishizu's face down card. Ishizu guarded her head as large pillars crashed down from the roof.
"I figured it was A Blast Held By A Tribute card. I can't have you destroying my baby yet," laughed Dark Ishizu as she flipped over her face down card.
"Now I activate my trap card, Reinforcements of the Army! It raises the attack of one of my monsters by 500 for the turn in which it is activated." The Beast of Talwar's attack grew from 2400 to 2900.
"Now my great beast, kill her Shining Angel!" The beast raised its two mighty swords in the air and with one mighty slash – cut her angel in half. Blood splashed the cathedral walls as the Shining Angel met his demise. Ishizu's eyes rolled to the back of her eyelids. She fell backwards onto the floor and grabbed her chest. Why?! The pain seemed to get worse with every turn that she lost life points. Had someone shot her through the heart with a million arrows doused in fire? How could a Shadow Game stoop so low?! Ishizu laid on the ground as she struggled to inhale just a small amount of air. Her life points were now at 2700. Ishizu opened her eyes and inhaled a deep breath. It hurt but she couldn't forget about her brother in the casket. Ishizu pulled herself from the ground and drew her next card. She looked at her hand.
"It all ends here you evil child! First I will play Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two cards! Now I will play my trap card, Ultimate Offerings! At the cost of 500 life points per monster I can continue to Normal Summon more than once." Ishizu gave up 1500 life points to summon Mudora, Shining Abyss, and the Gravekeeper's Guard. Ishizu's vision faded and her heart felt as if it had exploded. Ishizu swayed from side to side but struggled to stay on her feet. The Doppelganger looked on in amazement.
"You only have 1200 life points left! You should have passed out by now," growled Dark Ishizu. Ishizu came to her senses.
"Now I will sacrifice the Spirit of the Harp, Soul Tiger, and Mudora to summon Obelisk the Tormentor!" Ishizu raised the card to the air. It burst with brilliant colors of gold and blue. A tunnel of light blasted from her card into the sky. Obelisk crashed down through the roof causing half of the church to cave in. Pillars fell and stones came crashing down but Ishizu was protected from them by the massive size of her God creature.
"Now I will sacrifice my last two monsters to activate Obelisk's special ability!" Obelisk picked up the Guard and Shining Abyss and they faded into his hands. A small orb on his chest began to glow and her God changed from a sapphire blue to shadow purple.
"Now his attack is at infinite! And you are not off the hook yet Doppelganger!" Ishizu's necklace began to glow and a light surrounded Dark Ishizu. Ishizu looked at her arms and examined the rest of her body that had begun to illuminate.
"What are you doing to me," screamed the evil girl. She began to panic and turn in circles hoping it was just an illusion.
"It's time I used the powers of my Millennium Necklace to alter the rules of this Shadow Game. Your demonic soul is now infused with your life points! When they go, YOU GO!" Dark Ishizu looked up at the colossal monster that towered over her and her Beast of Talwar.
"You can't do this Ishizu! I am a part of you!" Dark Ishizu began to step back until her back hit the wall. Obelisk glared at her in utter hatred. It might not have been that bad to tick off a normal duel monster but to piss off a God had its disadvantages.
"Obelisk! Destroy her Beast of Talwar and let her know how defeat feels!" Obelisk's hand began to glow bright orange with his eyes. Obelisk smashed the beast through the church floor turning it to ashes. Dark Ishizu looked at her duel disk as it began to spark and her life points hit 0! The Doppelganger began to scream as her skin began to turn black as coal and smoke began to emerge from her skin. Dark Ishizu was engulfed in a giant flame and her body combusted into a giant pile of ashes with her demonic scream echoing off the shattered walls. Ishizu fell to her knees. She was unbelievably happy that she survived and that now she could hopefully save Marik. Obelisk grabbed Marik's casket a ripped it apart like a wrestler would break a stick. Marik gasped for air as he landed on the floor. Ishizu's duel disk and Obelisk disappeared. Ishizu fell to her knees hugging her brother. She only had one brother and she loved him very much.
"I'm glad you're safe. I couldn't let anything happen to you," cried Ishizu as she ran her fingers through the back of Marik's hair. Marik smiled.
"I never thought you would come after me sis! I love you. Not trying to ruin the moment, but can we get out of this place? It kinda gives me the creeps after being locked in a casket," said Marik as he and Ishizu rose to their feet.
"Let's go find our friends," said Ishizu as she and Marik shoved open the cathedral doors.
