A Spirit Summoned
Today was a couple of days after Christmas, and everything was peaceful in Domino City. Most of the people was relaxing in their homes, including the Wilson family. Andrew was laying on his bed in his room and contemplating everything that happened so far during the winter break.
"Well, this winter break has been unexpected. It's not every day you have to face a local bully while doing some christmas shopping." He said jokingly. He then glanced at his desk where he placed all the christmas gifts he got this year:
A new game-console, a few video games and some new clothes.
"But at least everything's been good at the end." Andrew said smiling. He got up from the bed and walked up to the window and looked outside. "I wonder how Jaden and the others are doing. It's not like anything crazy is happening there or something.
Well, Andrew couldn't be more wrong, because if we take a look back at the Academy island, around sometime not too long after many of the students left there, something really happened there. It was a cloudy night and someone was running through the forest.
"Help! Help!" It was an Obelisk boy with long brown that dropped down to shoulder level and wore glasses. He was running as fast as he could, like he was chased by someone, or something.
'I can't believe this is happening!' He thought. 'I can't believe he came alive. And took my friends!' He was no doubt very terrified.
"Please! Someone Heeelp!"
Meanwhile, at the Slifer dorm, Jaden, Syrus and Chumley were hanging out with each other in the cafeteria. With many students gone, it was quiet and peaceful there. Professor Banner was with them too, being the only faculty member left to chaperone them. And surprisingly enough, Michael, who decided to stay at the academy during the winter break, joined them.
"I can't believe everyone left for winter break. The campus feels so… empty." Jaden said. "Oh well, all the more dueling for us, I guess."
"Yeah, and all the more cafeteria food too." Chumley added.
"Yes, which makes you wonder why all we've been eating are marshmallows." Banner wondered, as he and the koala duelist were sitting in front of a small barbecue grill with a few marshmallows cooking.
"We've already downed all of the grilled cheeses."
"We?"
"Either way, marshmallows aren't so bad." Michael said.
"And it's nice that you would join us." Banner said.
"Go, Elemental HERO Clayman!" As for Jaden and Syrus, they were dueling each other and the hero duelist just summoned his trustworthy stone warrior, while his blue-headed friend had Gyroid and Cycroid on his side of the field.
While Banner, Michael and Chumley watched the duel, the professor's cat Pharaoh watched the marshmallows grow bigger and bigger. And then...
POP!
"MEOW!" Pharaoh freaked out as one of the marshmallows exploded, sending bits of white goo everywhere.
"I'm not going to eat that one." Michael commented.
At the same time, a certain someone came out of the forest, right outside the Slifer dorm. It was the Obelisk boy who where running earlier. He was panting due to having running so much and looked like he was about to collapse.
"Heelp." He moaned, before falling forward, crashing through the door.
Everyone inside the cafeteria stopped whatever they were doing and saw the fallen Obelisk blue student, laying down on the floor among pieces of shattered of glass and wood.
"Uh, guys?" Syrus said.
Jaden approached him. "Whoa bro, you like you've seen a ghost."
The boy raised his head and looked at them a terrified look in his eyes. "I... I have…"
"Uh... What are you talking about?" Jaden asked weirdly.
"Jinzo, the dueling card!"
"Uh, Professor Banner, you might call the school nurse."
As the other three approached the three boys, Banner spoke to the Obelisk blue student. "I know you. Your name's Torrey. You were in my Para-dueling class."
The boy now named Torrey looked at the teacher and grabbed his legs. "Yeah. That's right, Professor Banner. And everything you said was right about duel spirits being real… it was all true!"
"Uh, better make that the school therapist." Jaden commented.
Michael knelt down to Torrey's level and placed his hands on his shoulders. "Just calm down Torrey, and tell us everything that happened, from the very beginning."
"Yes…"
Flashback
"A while back, I told some of my friends about your class and how you said that under certain conditions duel spirits can come to life." Torrey narrated. "Well... we started trying to create those conditions, even though we knew the academy forbids it. We did it a couple of times and nothing ever happened... until yesterday."
In the library, Torrey was standing in front of a table, with two friends. One of them was a shorter boy, and the other one was a broad boy who was wearing glasses, like Torrey. Each person was wearing a white cloak and held a set of candles. The shorter boy placed a board on the table and looked at his friends.
"Maybe it was because we used our bed sheets as cloaks, or that we used Dr Crowler's bath candles, but anyway, this time something was different. You see, we all put our hands on a mystic box, said the chant, and it happened…"
"From vapor to flesh,
from the wind to a roar,
Come Jinzo from the
Land of Yore."
The three boys suddenly heard a creaky sound from the second floor and saw one of the books falling down. Just as they started to get nervous, they felt the glass move and watched as it began settling on different letters.
Flashback end
As Torrey was telling this, he started to shake in fear. "Then the mystic box spelled out 'Give me three and I'll be free'." He raised his head. "We thought that he meant cards."
Banner frowned. "Oh dear me, no. Jinzo's appetite would never be satiated by mere cards. This is just awful."
"Wait, so what did the three mean Torrey?" Syrus asked.
"It meant people."
"People!?"
"Yes and unfortunately we had agreed," Torrey lowered is head. "before we knew better."
"So... your friends?"
"They're both gone. I've looked everywhere, but it's like they just vanished into thin air. First it was one, then the other and I just know it's going to be me next!"
Syrus was so frightened he ended up falling on the floor, landing on his butt.
Jaden, Michael and Chumley glanced at each other, before the dark duelist asked him. "You sure they didn't just go home for winter break, Torrey?"
"I hoped, but I called their parents, and they didn't know where they were. I doubt they could've made it home anyway. After all, I tried to leave the island…"
Flashback
"... but couldn't. You see, once I got to the ferry... there he was, waiting for me." Torrey was carrying a black bag while running towards the pier. There were a lot of students who were about to step aboard on the ferry. When he arrived, he saw someone who was already aboard on the ship. It was hard to tell the person's appearance since they were wearing a black trench coat and a hat.
"Hehehehe. Going somewhere?" The person asked as they revealed a part of their face... or rather, a part of a green mask.
As soon as Torrey could see it he realized who it was. He screamed and ran away.
"Run, but you can't hide."
Flashback end
"… there's no escape." Torrey trembled even more.
Everyone were silent.
'Well we seem to be safe here.' Jaden thought.
Suddenly, the lights went off, making the whole room dark.
"What was that!?" Syrus asked, panicked a little.
"Easy Syrus, maybe it was just a fuse." Banner suggested.
"Yeah, or maybe a bulb." Chumley added.
"Or maybe... it was me!"
The Slifer trio and Michael screamed, while Pharaoh meowed in fright. Banner didn't react as much as the others, but he seemed to be surprised. They saw the same trench coat wearing person who was chasing Torrey. They noticed the latter being unconscious and held by the culprit.
"Let him go, Jinzo !" Jaden demanded.
"We have a deal." Jinzo said before running off.
"Not if I can stop ya!" Jaden ran after him.
"Wait up!" Syrus called out as he and the others followed him.
"Aw, not running." Chumley complained.
"Where are you going!?" Jaden kept running through the forest. 'Spirit or not, I'm stopping him.' He then realized he lost track of the kidnapper. 'uh, if can find him.'
"Where did he go?" Syrus asked he and the others caught up with him.
"I don't know."
"You should work on your tracking skills, Jaden." Michael pointed.
"Aw, don't tell me I ran all that way for nothing." Chumley said.
Jaden scratched at the back of his head, embarrassed by this. Everyone then heard Banner's cat meowing and growling as it was looking in a certain direction.
"Pharaoh, what's wrong?" The headmaster asked.
"I think he can sense him." Syrus guessed.
"Well, only one way to find out." Jaden said he ran in that direction, followed by the rest of the gang.
"Why does spirits always go to the spookiest places?" Chumley asked, complaining again.
"We gotta find Jinzo."
The cat led the students and his master through the forest until they reached an area with fenced off perimeter, a tall metal tower at each corner with wires and generators lining the fence.
"What is this place?" Syrus asked.
"From the looks of it, this must be the central power station for the entire island." Banner replied. "But I do not see Jinzo anywhere."
Jaden took a few steps, before he noticed a certain someone laying on the ground on the other side of the power station. "Well I see Torrey. You're safe pal." He was about to approach him, but stopped when the complex came to life with electricity.
As soon as the electric crackling settled down, everyone saw Jinzo without his trench coat and hat, standing right in front of them in his true form: a tall humanoid in a dark green suit and had some metal mask on his face. Only his form was like a blurry hologram. "None of you are safe!"
"Jinzo!" Chumley gasped.
"What the hell?" Michael said.
"What's going on Professor Banner?" Syrus asked. "How is Jinzo appearing like that?"
"It is the electricity. He'a using the current to power himself up. He's a clever one."
"Let Torrey go Jinzo!" Jaden demanded. "If you need a third sacrifice so bad, well then... then just take me instead! You here me Jinzo, take me!"
"Oh no!"
"Jaden!"
"What are you doing!?"
"You're doing it with more vitality than this human. I'll take you up on your offer."
"Fine, on one condition though. You and I duel. If you win, you take my life energy. But I win, and you give back the other two you took."
"A duel? Very well. I should be able to be sustained by this electrical limbo long enough for a match. First I'll beat you, then I'll consume you!"
"Yeah, we'll see. Now come on and get your game on, Jinzo!" Jaden activated his duel disk. "Let's throw down!"
Jaden: 4000
Jinzo: 4000
"Yes, let's…" Jinzo replied as five large cards appeared behind him as his opening hand and a sixth card appeared in front of him. "First, I summon Malice Doll of Demise in attack mode." A creepy wooden doll with pointy teeth appeared on his field. It was holding an axe with a glowing blade. (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1700 LV: 4)
"Uwah! That is one creepy doll." Michael shuddered. "I've seen something like that from a horror movie."
"And next, I'll activate the spell card Ectoplasmer." Another card appeared in front of Jinzo. "This fiendish spirit allows each player to sacrifice one monster at the end of their turn. Then, half of that monster's attack points are dealt to the opposing player as damage." A ghostly spirit rose from the doll, like a snake and flew towards Jaden, whirling around him to cause damage.
Jaden: 4000-3200
"Oh no! Jaden's already falling behind!" Syrus said.
'That's a continuous spell card. He'll be able to use it's magic every turn. But then... so will I.'
"Alright spooky, here I come!" Jaden drew a card and looked at his hand. "Only one monster, but it will have to do. I summon Elemental HERO Avian in attack mode!" The winged green hero rose in front of Jaden. (ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000 LV: 3) "And next, I'm throwing down four facedowns and playing a continuous spell card of my own." He held up the spell card known as Mirage of Nightmare. "Now when it's your turn, I get to draw four cards, but then during my turn, I have to discard four. But before all that, I'm gonna have my Hero Avian attack you! Windstorm Strike!" The hero simply flew towards Jinzo and gave him a punch that passed through his body.
Jinzo: 4000-3000
"But I'm not done yet. Now I'm gonna use your own Ectoplasmer's sacrifice effect against you. I'm gonna give up Avian and you're gonna have to give up half of his attack points from your life points." Avian lowered his body and his spirit rose from it. And just like its physical form, it gave Jinzo a punch. "Yeah!"
Jinzo: 3000-2500
"That's the spirit!" Syrus cheered. "I mean that's how you beat a spirit. I mean, oh, you know..."
"Alright, we got a game now!"
"A game that you soon will lose." Jinzo replied as another card appeared in front of him. "After all, since Malice Doll of Demise was sent to the graveyard due to the effect of a spell card, he automatically resurrects." The creepy doll appeared with same menacing look. (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1700 LV: 4)
"Speaking of spells, mine now activates, Mirage of Nightmare! I get to draw four cards." Jaden said as he drew four cards. "And next, I'll play one of my facedowns." A certain spell card revealed itself. "Oh yeah, Emergency Provisions! And I'll have to discard Mirage to use it."
Jaden: 3200-4200
"What a move!" Chumley said. "He got a thousand points and ditched Mirage. Now he won't have to toss any cards from his hand."
"I summon Emissary of the Afterlife in attack mode!" A fiendish reaper like creature with a black cloak, wielding a scythe floated next to the doll. (ATK: 1600 DEF: 600 LV: 4)
"Of course on second thought, it might have been smart to play a little defense." Chumley whimpered.
"And since you have no monsters out, I can wager a direct attack. Sickle Slasher!" The reaper raised its scythe, ready to strike.
"Not so fast!I play A Hero Emerges!" Jaden called out as another one of his facedown cards revealed itself. "Now you have to pick one of the cards in my hand in random, and if it's a monster, I can summon it."
"Far right." Electricity crackled around the card Jinzo pointed at.
"Hey nice pick... well for me anyway. Say hello to Elemental HERO Sparkman!" The golden, electric hero appeared in front of Jaden. (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400 LV: 4) And as soon as he appeared, Sparkman gave the reaper creature a counter attack as they both collided with each other and were destroyed.
"Foolish mortal! By sending Emissary to the graveyard, his special effect is activated. Now each of us can take a monster from our decks and place them in our hands. And I choose Thousand Eyes Idol." A card image of the monster appeared in front of Jinzo.
"Well I choose good ol' Burstinatrix." Jaden held up the card he chose.
"So be it. Now to continue with my turn. Now Malice Doll attack! Go, Cleaver Heaver!" The doll threw its axe at Jaden. He groaned in pain as it passed right through him.
Jaden: 4200-2600
"And don't forget the magic of Ectoplasmer." The spirit of the doll rose up and circled around Jaden once more. He groaned in pain.
Jaden: 2600-1800
"Having this duel was an excellent idea. It's much better to enjoy something slowly rather than taking it all at once."
"Jaden, your legs! They're fading!" Syrus yelled out.
The hero duelist looked down and to his shock, his legs were holographic, just like Jinzo's body. "What's happening?"
"I'm collecting on our deal. You've lost half your life points, so I'm taking half your life force and it feels good."
"Okay, that's just messed up." Michael said.
"I'm not gonna let you take me Jinzo! I'll duel to the end!" Jaden drew a card. "I summon Elemental HERO Clayman in attack mode!" The big, rock hero appeared in front of him. (ATK: 800 DEF: 2000 LV: 4) "But wait, that's not all. Next I'll play Clay Wrap from my field and equip Clayman with it." The hero was covered in a slimy wrap. "And I'll just keep on going with Polymerization. I'll fuse Burstinatrix with Clayman to summon Elemental HERO Rampart Blaster in attack mode!" The two heroes swirled around each other and landed on the field as the armored feminine hero. (ATK: 2000 DEF: 2500 LV: 6) "Here's the sweet part, since Clayman was used in the fusion, both he and Clay Wrap are sent to the graveyard. And that activates a special effect. An effect that lets me destroy a spell card on your field, like that Ectoplasmer for example." The named card shattered into pixels.
"Lishus! Now Jaden won't keep taking damage from Jinzo sacrificing cards."
"And now, it's time to let Blaster do what she does best and that's blasting. Rampart Barrage!" The armored woman shot a series of missiles from he right arm that landed around the spirit.
Jinzo: 2500-0500
The spectator cheered at this.
"You're lucky you didn't have a body for that one." Jaden commented before inserting a card into his duel disk. "Now I'll end my turn by throwing a facedown."
Michael just couldn't help but speak his thoughts out loud. "Although, that Mud Wrap was actually a bad move." This earned him the attention from the spectator.
And Jaden as well. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"What I mean Jaden, is that if you just summoned your Rampart Blaster without destroying Ectoplasmer, you could have used its effect to wipe out the rest of Jinzo's life points."
The hero duelist blinked before he understood what he said. "Um, whoops?"
Micahel couldn't help but face-palm while the other face faulted.
"Okay okay, I made just one mistake. Don't worry guys, I'm still going to win this."
"We'll see about that. My draw!" A new card appeared in front Jinzo, who was pleased when saw what he got. "And I couldn't have asked for a better one. With this card, my resurrection is all the closer."
"What card?"
"Hehehe... I activate Malice Doll's special ability and re-summon him..." The doll came back for the second time, before disappearing instantly. "But only so I can sacrifice him in order to conjure…" The evil spirit laughed evilly as his newest turned around to reveal itself. "Jinzo!" The station's electricity crackled as the spirit disappeared. And then, a lightning struck the new card and its place, a figure rose with dark pink energy. When the light disappeared, everyone could see the creature in its true form. It was none other than Jinzo himself, whose body have become more real than holographic. (ATK: 2400 DEF: 1500 LV: 6)
"Oh come on. I mean, you can't draw yourself!" Jaden protested.
"I just did! And now I can attack you personally." Jinzo conjured a ball of energy. "Cyber Energy Shock, destroy the Rampart Blaster!" He launched it at the fusion monster, blowing it to pieces on contact.
Jaden: 1800-1400
"You're next." Jinzo said, ending his turn.
"Oh no! Jaden's Blaster's gonzo and with Jinzo really out on the field now, Jaden wont able to activate any trap cards because of the special ability he has."
"Alright, it's my move!" Jaden drew his card. "And I summon Wroughtweiler in defense mode." The metal dog jumped in front of him, crouched in defense mode. (ATK: 800 DEF: 1200 LV: 3) "And there's a reason they call him man's best friend."
"No duh. And if Wroughtweiler is destroyed, Jaden can take Polymerization and an Elemental HERO from his graveyard to put them into his hand."
"It's still a risky play. I hope he knows what he's doing." Syrus said worriedly.
"Ready for more pain, mortal? I summon Spirit Caller in attack mode." An elderly man in robes appeared on Jinzo's field. (ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000 LV: 3)
'Here it comes." Jaden thought to himself.
"And then I'll attack your Wroughtweiler with Cyber Energy Shock!" The spirit fired another shot.
Jaden looked away as the mechanical dog was vaporized, but grinned. "Whoopsie. Now Polymerization and Clayman come back to my hand."
"But not the field, which means Spirit Caller can now attack you directly. Go, Breath from Beyond!" The elderly figure's glowed red before he changed his face into a horrid one and let out a high-pitched screech that passed right through Jaden, making more of his own body turn shimmery and transparent.
Jaden: 1400-0400
"Jaden's not looking too good." Chumley said.
"Aw man." Syrus moaned.
"No kidding. If this keeps up, there's not going to be anything left of him." Michael added.
"Finally, I'll equip myself with the spell card Amplifier. With this, I'm not bound by my own special ability any longer." An electronic helmet appeared on Jinzo's head. Now I can use any trap card I please. So I'm certain you can guess what this facedown might be." Jinzo let out a laughter as a facedown card appeared.
"This so not lishus. Now Jaden's behind on points, monsters and traps too."
"Your demise is imminent."
"I don't think so." Jaden drew his next card. "I'm playing the magic of Pot of Greed. This lets me draw two more cards. Next I'm summoning Elemental HERO Bubbleman." The blue water hero came to his side. (ATK: 800 DEF: 1200 LV: 4) "And I'm gonna give him even more pop with this, Bubble Blaster!" Bubbleman's personal water cannon appeared in his hands. "This equip spell card increases its attack points by 800." (ATK: 800-1600 "Now attack, with Bombarding Bubble Barrage!" The hero shot a large bubble at Spirit Caller. The bubble burst as soon as it connected, wiping the elderly figure from the field.
"Well done. By destroying Spirit Caller, you walked right into my trap, Spirit Barrier." Jinzo raised his arm to reveal his facedown card. "This keeps me from taking damage as long as there's a monster on my field. And in case you've forgotten, there is… me!"
"You're still just a phantom to me, and this card here is gonna help me keep you that way." Jaden held up a spell card known as… "Fairy of the Spring. With it, I can take one equip spell card from my graveyard and put it in my hand. And I choose this one." He took a certain spell card he used earlier.
"Clay Wrap?" Syrus said.
"Hey, that's the equip that can take out a spell or trap card if get sent to the graveyard. Could come in handy." Chumley said.
"He better make a good use of it this time." Michael added.
"Now I'll throw down a facedown and call it a turn."
"Heh, well I call that pathetic. Almost as pathetic as I'm about to make your Bubbleman look." The evil spirit shot a blast of energy at the hero, but it was destroying the blaster.
"Whoops. Guess I didn't mention that when Bubbleman is equipped with Bubble Blaster, he doesn't burst, it's his weapon that does."
"That buys you one turn. That's all." Jinzo said as facedown card appeared on his field.
"And hopefully, that's all I need." Jaden drew a card and saw it was Winged Kuriboh.
"Coo."
'Kuriboh.' The spirit appeared beside him. 'Oh yeah, I'm with you pal. He is one ugly dude.'
The furry spirit let out a 'coo' in agreement.
"A spirit?" Jnzo wondered.
"He's a friend first and spirit second. Which is probably why he doesn't need to snack on human souls to chill out here on the land of the living. Now back to business. I play hero Clayman!" The stone warrior appeared on the field again. "And I'm gonna outfit him with the Clay Wrap that I brought back from the graveyard." The slimy wrap covered Clayman once again. "But I'm not done just yet. Next I'm gonna bust out Polymerization and fuse him with Bubbleman to create Elemental HERO Mudballman!" The two heroes swirled around each other and were replaced by the big round hero. (ATK: 1900 DEF: 3000 LV: 6) "And since has now been sent to the graveyard, I can use it special effect and destroy... that Amplifier!" Jinzo's helmet blew up, forcing him to revert to his transparent form.
"Lishus! And when Amplifier is sent to the graveyard, the monster that it's equipped to is destroyed too."
"Which means Jaden can use trap cards again."
"Nice. Way to play, Jay!"
Electricity crackled around Jinzo's body before an explosion occurred. Jaden started to cheer, but then… "No! I'm too close. I won't let it end here. I REFUSE!" And then suddenly, Torrey shakily stood up.
"Torrey, are you okay?"
When Obelisk boy turned around, everyone could see his eyes glowing red. "I'm not Torrey. I am Jinzo, and I raise myself from the graveyard with Call of the Haunted."
"No you don't! I activate the trap card Solemn Judgment!" Jaden's facedown card revealed itself, showing an old man with two praying women standing behind him. "Sure, it takes half my life points to use, but that's okay…"
Jaden: 0400-0200
"Cuz it also takes that trap card you were about to play and destroys it." The trap card flipped up and shattered into pixels.
"NO!"
"And now here Mudballman, finish him. Fire Shockwave!" The large hero jumped in the air and launched a red shockwave at Torrey's possessed body.
Jinzo: 0500-0000
As the attack made contact, a bright light appeared and engulfed the whole area, causing the students and Banner lose consciousness.
When they opened their eyes, they realized that they were still at power station, but it was morning.
"You okay?" Syrus asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Michael replied.
"What happened? Did I miss breakfast?" Chumley asked.
Jaden chuckled at Chumley's words. He then took note of the fact that Torrey was back to the same condition he was before. Not only that, his two friends were also back.
"They're all back, safe and sound." Banner said relieved.
"Think they know what happened." Syrus asked.
'Probably best if they forgot. But I sure won't. Duel spirits aren't jus real, they're dangerous.'
"What do you say we get out of here guys and let them sleep it off. I'm sure their spirits are weary." Jaden joked, but he was the only one laughing.
"Really Jaden?" Michael asked.
"Oh come on, that was good."
"You know what'd be good? Some grilled marshmallow sandwiches."
"We haven't run out yet?" Syrus asked the koala duelist.
"I'm not running anywhere."
"Hahaha! Good one." Michael said.
"Come on. How was that funny?" Jaden asked.
After winter break was officially over, the students who left the island have returned. The ferry arrived at the pier and all the students walked down the boat ramp, including Andrew.
"Ah. It's nice to be back." He sighed.
"It sure is." A feminine voice spoke up from behind. Andrew turned around and saw Jenny greeting him.
"Hey Jenny. How was your winter vacation?"
"It was great. I had some great time with my mom." She replied, smiling brightly.
Andrew looked at her hair. It was still arranged in a ponytail. But something was different here. It was something on the left side of her head. It was some kind of hairpin that looked like a blonde haired angel with blue wings.
"Never seen you wear that hairpin before." He stated.
Jenny blinked twice before placing her left hand on it. "Oh, you mean this. Yeah, this was one of the Christmas gifts I got. It actually belonged to my mom."
Andrew nodded understanding. "Your mom, huh? No wonder it looks so good on you." He complimented.
This made Jenny blush slightly for a moment, before giving a smile. "Thank you."
"Hey guys!" Someone called out. They turned to see Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Michael walk to them.
"Jaden. How are you guys?" Andrew asked. "You weren't all too bored here, were you?"
"Well, let's just say our winter break was in high spirit." He said jokingly.
The other boys groaned.
"Come on, Jaden. I've had enough of spirits for a long time." Syrus complained.
The Ra and Obelisk student blinked.
"Um, what are you guys talking about?" Jenny asked.
"Did something happen here?" Andrew.
The Slifer trio and Obelisk boy looked at each other before turning to their two friends. "Boy have we a story to tell you."
Read them and weep. That's all for now. Until next time. ^-^
