ONWARD!


---The Shadow Realm---

"You can't be Amnel!" Banner was still baffled at the name this person had said. The nerve! He knew who Amnel was and this person certainly was NOT Amnel!

"Well, that's true, because your Amnel." He laughed at Banner, who took a step back. "Yes, run away scared like you did before. Suprised I'm working with no strings attatched like you?" His laugh became more and more menacing.

"Hey! Butt-face! I'm your opponent! So keep your eyes open!" Haruka's monster threw itself forward and was just a blur of green and silver. "You want to loose, keep it up!"

"You are simply stalling for time." "Amnel" said, jumping out of the way of the attack and landing on a ledge that his monster created. "I refuse to loose to a girl! I swear, the things you girls think you can do... it's WAY to advanced for a whimpy girl to understand! I want you to tell me, is Haruka your real name? Or is it just the name they gave you to use and trample on?"

"No! My name is Hell! The place called Hell is a firey pit where the evil do their time and the good bid the evil in their souls farewell. The firey depths of this place I am named for are the simple places and things I haven't done, however, I do require my lighter, more gentle half to control my power. To bad he's dead! Millenium Celtic Guardian! Attack him with your Silver Song!"

A silver flash and an elf with very pointy ears (left one pierced with a black pearl ear ring), a long green trench coat that was torn like it'd seen battle for many years,blond locks that were tied back into a tight, single braid that ran down his back, a silver sword that was rediculusly huge, nearly four times his size and as thick as a hand from finger to heel. His eyes were yellowy gold and the Silver Song was the ringing of his blade after he'd stuck the flesh of "Amnel".

"Cheap shot!"

"In a Shadow Game, there are no 'cheap shots', Amnel! There's only who can be quicker on their feet, who has the mental stability to communicate with any monster in their decks. The rules of this game were taught to me when I was still a young girl. The information was forced into my brain. Don't be fooled, I've got a complex mind that can earn you a one way ticket to Hell." Her eyes flashed with truth. 'If only I could have seen Lyman before I died.'

"Not quite!" There was a flash of bright blue light that shimmered green...

---flashback---

She felt the whole world seemingly float up around her and she felt weightless, almost like she was air. She felt the cold plastic in the freezing air that she was susspended in. She didn't know how she'd gotten into this cold place or why she required a mask. She shiftend and felt wires tighten around her arms and legs and felt the needles pricking her skin. She winced and let out a yelp and felt bubbles of air float past her.

Realization hit her. She was in a test tube. But where were the lights? Why was she in freezing cold water like this? What had happened to her before she'd come here? Was this the end of her life? Would she ever remember what had happened to her? Or would she forget it with the expiriments and tourture she often heard about in all those stories?

A flash ofblue light and the world was illuminated around her and she saw it through the freezing cold, green tinted liquid she was susspended in. She was only four-years-old and she was amazed at everything around her. The liquid was emptying and she could see a man standing there, his white robes stained with the blue light. Her hand touched the cold glass as he had it lifted away.

She welcomed the warmth of the world once more, glad she was no longer frozen.

And then it was a nightmare, a blade dripping with blood was in her hand, she was hugging a teddy bear, she was holding a gun, she was setting off the Shadow Realm, she was being tourtured, she met and killed Lyman with poison, she was breaking glass and slashing someone with it...

---end flashback---

"YOUR NOT AMNEL!" Haruka says it so suddenly as her eyes flash blue again and a tear falls down the right half of her face, the one that the Duelist Academy students could see. They had been consumed by the Shadow Realm and hadn't been hurt by the blasts of the impact from the monsters.

"Beg your pardon? Last time I checked, I told you so... are you really that dumb, baka?" he asked, looking like something out of a horror movie made for kiddies. He was pointing at her when he asked this, and his finger twitched like he was suprised she'd just noticed what he'd said nearly twenty minutes prior.

"I know your not Amnel because Amnel was Lyman! Lyman had taken the name of the scientist I killed because he was a clone of him! Lyman named his clone Amnel! I remember! He asked me whatthe clone should be named!I remember it clearly!"

"Lyman is a dead man because of us!" It was Haruka and 7734's voices, intwined like two souls. "We killed him! Amnel ran away after that!"

7734's voice came out strong. "He was the only thing that kept us from destroying ourselves and the entire world the one time it was released! The Shadow Games were being put to shame by the evil spirit of the Millenium Ring! That was the last time young Haruka ever used her powers! She was only four when Seto and Mokuba were adopted! She is a clone!"

"Amnel" stared at them. "Have you gone nuts? There's a guy and a girl speaking and it makes no sense! You guys are saying the same thing over and over."

7734's fist connected with "Amnel"s jaw, knocking him back. "I'm not letting you take away what Lyman loves! I will fight you for his precious Delist Academy! I don't care if it takes my life!"
