Kevin opened his eyes, and turned to see Panik's face melting. He grimaced as the duelist screamed in agnoy. Panik turned, and looked intot eh green, twisted face of his attacker: A massive demon is blue robes.

"You can say hi to me yourself."

Panik burst into flames. At that moment, another hunter screamed as a strange creature slashed him in half. It looked like a bipedal goat, armored with a silver chest plate, two massive blades attached to it's arm. But strangest of all was it's tail; not the stump a goat had, but a long, elegant fish tail that stuck out just behind his powerful legs.

"You and your damn showmanship!" The creature bellowed, killing the final hunter. He turned, and let out a whistle. HA Des and the creature faded, transforming into duel monster cards. Agile and Geno leapt from the shadows.

"Capricorn Knight: The ultimate weapon." Geno said as he reclaimed his card.

Agile looked at him. "Ha Des was the one that killed Panik."

Geno turned, and looked at the three. "What is going on?"

***

"So she has made her move here." Agile said with a sigh. "I was hoping we could make it here before her."

Geno nodded. "She must have been planning this....maybe since we first left."

Tristan raised his hand. "Excuse me, who are we talking about?"

Geno frowned. "Amanda....my ex-wife."

"Holds a bit of a grudge, does she?" Kevin said with a smile. Geno gave him a look, and then nodded.

"That she does."

Serenity looked around. "How did your cards kill the hunters? When Kevin shot them, they got up."

Agile rolled his eyes. "A famous wizard once said, 'Magic must defeat magic.' It takes the magic of the shadow realm to defeat being sof the shadow realm."

Kevin frowned. "Wait....that's a line from Jackie Chan Adventures!"

Geno held his hea din is hands. "That is not the point. What we should be doing is going to stop Amanda."

"Ok, but tell me this: Are we dealing with a magnus?"

Agile looked at Kevin squarely. "Worse, an angelic."

Kevin stood up. "Great, just great. What angelic is she? Shadows, evil...."

Geno bit his lip. "Fear."

Kevin turned and began to pace. "Wonderful!" He looked at Geno. "Know how to pick them! How do we defeat the angel of fear!?!!"

Agile pulled out a map of Domino University. "She must be holding everyone here, this is where the magic reading we sense is coming from. She must be trapping them in their worst nightmares. But to do that, and command these forces, she will have needed summoning spells, ones that keep going."

Geno nodded. "Then she is using guardians, most likely 3."

Tristan frowned. "Huh?"

Agile looked at them. "Basically, she isn't strong enough to do all this. For a month now,she must have been casting spells, most likely three, that would strength her, and then given each spell to a guardian, 3 powerful ones. We defeat the guardians, we can defeat her."

Geno shook his head. "I am willing to beat she is ready for that. Let's say we stop the3 guardians, she still will have powered herself up enough to kill us both. And that is assuming we can avoid her enough to get the guardians."

Agile looked at his brother. "We need to split up. You could go after the three guardians, I will take her on, stall her."

"and what about us?" Serenity asked.

"Your going to my apartment."

Kevin opened his deck case. "Been there, did that. We are rescuing the others. IF your right, they are in danger."

Agile shrugged. "If you want to risk it."

"Then let's do this thing."
