Outside of the Dueling Field
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
Outside of the purple-flame perimeter, everyone is knocked out for a while. Suddenly Luna's ears twitched and she has started to wake up. "Uh…what has just happened?" she muttered, suddenly Artemis has too started to wake up.
"Uh…Luna," Artemis meowed. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm alright." Luna nodded, suddenly everyone has too started to wake up.
"Uh…" everyone has started to rub their heads.
"Where did that wind come from?" Mars asked.
"Don't know," Jadeite shrugged.
"Uh…that wind has just come out of nowhere and it has disappeared into nowhere," Nephrite spoke. "So where did it go?"
"No clue," Jupiter shrugged. "Although I do control some of the wind, I assure you. I did not take control of that type of wind."
Everyone nodded, suddenly everyone has hit Endymion's head.
"Wait a minute," Endymion looks around. "Where is Serenity?"
"And Chris?" Zoisite added.
"And Atem?" Artemis added as he looks around. Mercury put her computer glasses on and started to type into her computer as she started to scan. As she is scanning, the computer is pointing at the purple-flame wall.
With her eyes widened, "According to my scanners," she looks straight ahead. "They are at the other side of that wall," Mercury answered.
Everyone gasped.
"But what about Atem's cousin, Seto?" Luna asked.
"And Venus?" Artemis added.
"And Kunzite?" Nephrite added, Mercury typed into her computer. The scanner still points towards the purple-flame wall.
"They are located at the same places as Serenity, Chris and Atem are," Mercury answered.
"Well, let's go and get them," Jadeite spoke as he charges right towards the purple-flame wall.
"No, wait…" Mercury tries to speak. As Jadeite hit the wall, he has been shocked from head to toe.
Jadeite shouted in pain and he has been pushed back. He landed hard on his back as he shacks in pain for a bit.
"Jadeite," everyone shouted as they ran to his side.
In pain, Jadeite groaned as he sat up slowly.
"Jadeite," Mars kneel to his side with worry in her eyes. "Are you okay?"
"I'll be alright," Jadeite spoke. "I've got shocked for a bit but I'll live."
"I was trying to warn you," Mercury spoke. "There is some type of barrier around that flame."
"Yeah, I felt that." Jadeite slowly stood up,
"But…but who created it?" Artemis asked, "And who in the of our queen and the universe would be attacking our homeworld?"
"Good question," Mercury shrugged.
"Who cares," Jupiter is surrounded by her lighting. "All we care about is our princess and the others' safety."
"Jupiter wait," Mercury tries to speak.
"Jupiter," spoke. "Thunder Crash!" as Jupiter's lightning strikes into the purple flame. As she stopped, everyone looked at the wall. With one look, the purple flame did not budge. No scorch marks. No scratch marks. Nothing. "Are you kidding me?"
"That wall must be immune to our powers," Mercury is still searching.
"But how are we supposed to get them out?" Jupiter asked.
"What is going on here?" a voice spoke, they all turned and see the Queen of the Moon. Queen Serenity.
"Your majesty," Mars spoke. "We…we kind of…"
"We have been breached," Mercury spoke.
"What kind of breach?" Queen Serenity asked,
"We do not know," Zoisite shrugged.
"But all that we know is that our princess is at the other side of the wall with Chris, Atem, Venus, Kunzite, and Seto." Mercury added.
"Serenity is behind that…?" before she could finish her question, she turned to look at the purple-flame wall. In one surprise, her eyes widened in shock and fear. No way, she thought. It…it couldn't be…
"Your majesty," Endymion spoke. "Are you alright?"
"Hmm…" Queen Serenity looks at the others, "Nothing, just thinking." Before anyone else could speak. Luna saw something in the corner of her eye.
"Everyone, look," Luna meowed. "I've found something," she picked the object up with her mouth and show it to everyone. Everyone looked and they saw a red ribbon hanging out from Luna's mouth. Slowly, everyone started to recognize the ribbon.
"That ribbon belongs to Chris," Jupiter blurted.
"But how did it get here from the other side of the wall?" Nephrite asked. Then Queen Serenity walked towards Luna.
"Let me see that Luna," Queen Serenity offered her hand and the ribbon landed on her hand. She looked at the ribbon, she suddenly felt the energy coming from the ribbon. This feeling, Queen Serenity thought. The legend…the stories…could it be true? Or is it not? As Queen Serenity held the ribbon, she walked toward the purple-flame wall.
"Your majesty," Mercury spoke. "Uh, wait…" before she could warn Queen Serenity as she got closer to the wall. The ribbon started to glow as she held it tightly and she reached out her hand. As she has begun to touch the purple flame, a sudden red glow has created a barrier and it is surrounding her hand.
Everyone gasped as her hand returned to her side and the glow disappeared.
"So, the legend is true," Queen Serenity spoke out loud.
Everyone raised their eyebrows as they look at each other and look back at the queen.
"Your majesty," Mars spoke. "What are you talking about? Do you know what is going on here?"
"I am not fully sure of myself," Queen Serenity spoke. "But I got a feeling that it is more than a breach," she turned to the others. "But…I'm going in to check it out."
"No, your majesty," everyone has begun to panic.
"I know that it is crazy in the way it sounds," Queen Serenity began to explain. "But once I'm in it, Chris's ribbon will be able to protect me once I get in."
"How would you know that?" Jadeite asked.
"I don't know how to explain," Queen Serenity shrugged. "But I got a feeling that something is happening to them at that side of that wall."
"Then let us come with you," Artemis spoke.
"No, I'm going in alone." Queen Serenity answered. "But if something happens to me and the others call for back-up."
"You got it," everyone nodded.
"And your majesty," Endymion spoke. "Just be careful and see if Serenity is okay."
"Don't worry, Prince Endymion." Queen Serenity spoke, "I will," she turned back to the purple-flame wall. She exhaled to relax, Well…here I go, she thought as she stepped into the purple-flame wall. Suddenly, the red ribbon glowed brightly and created a barrier around her. She relaxed a bit. Now, she thought. Time to find my daughter and the others, she walks through the purple flames as the barrier protects her from harm.

While Chris, Serenity, and Atem are facing Shadow Uru who is consuming the Shadow Droids: Seto, Kunzite, and Venus. Suddenly, Shadow Uru use his webs to lower Shadow Seto and started to control him right through the webs. "It's our turn," Shadow Uru spoke. "Summon," suddenly an extra stone has appeared right in front of Shadow Droid Seto.
Before he could do anything, Chris's vision started to become blurry for her to see. Her human legs have started to shake, her human body aches and she could barely breathe through her human lungs. Suddenly, her human head has become more throbbing and dizzier than ever before, and begun to lose her balance. All at once, her world has started to become dark and she has started to collapse. "Chris!" Serenity shouted as she caught Chris into her arms.
"Serenity," Atem turned. "What happened?"
"Chris just collapsed," Serenity answered. "She's…"
"Serenity…" a weak voice spoke to her quietly.
"Chris," Serenity looks at her. "Instead of normal eyes that she usually saw before, she looked at Chris again and saw both of her eyes that are glowing fully bloody red.
Both Serenity and Atem's eyes had widened in shock.
"…Serenity…" Chris whispered in pain, "…Atem…I'm sorry…I'm…really am…" slowly, her eyes started to close.
"Chris," Serenity spoke. "Hang on, just stay with us."
"Chris," Atem spoke. "Chris, keep your eyes open, don't you dare shut them and fade away on us."
"…uh…" Chris could nearly keep her eyes open as she heard Atem's voice.
"Well, well, well," Shadow Uru spoke. "It seems that my suspicions are correct, the little girl is connected to the People of the Stars. Her eyes have proven it, including the signs that are attached to her body. She won't live much longer if she keeps on dueling like this when it isn't even her real homeworld."
Chris is from another world? Atem wondered.
What is the People of the Stars? Serenity thought as she held Chris tight and close to her, Is that her real planet? But why is she here and why is she protecting us now? From him? Why?
Shadow Uru stares at them with a hungry look at them as they are his prey, "Before I can use any of my stones," Shadow Uru spoke. "Whenever my opponent is not on their feet and has their life points low. I will attack but my attack will be divided by the number of a monster on both sides of the field. Since there are seven monsters on our fields, my attack will be divided by seven. My attack will be targeted at the girl."
"Chris," Serenity's voice become worried.
"No," Atem's eyes widened in horror.
"POISON SPIT LAUNCHER!" Shadow Uru shouted as he attacked.
"No!" Serenity held Chris close to her and shielded her. As she shielded Chris, she felt a full force of impact on her back. She screamed in pain.
"Serenity!" Atem shouted.
Serenity breath slowly for a bit and sat up for a bit with Chris in her arms, "I'm alright," she spoke.
Serenity: LP 3000 - 714.3 = 2285.7
"And Chris?" Atem asked.
"Unharmed," Serenity answered as she held Chris close. Suddenly, Shakira flew close to Serenity and Chris.
"Huh?" Serenity looks up, "Shakira?"
"As the Ma' Lady has wished," Shakira has spoken. "I will heal anyone who has a pure heart and dear to her for whenever that they are in need, FLAMING-STAR SHADOW RAIN!"
Serenity: LP 2285.7 + 357.3 = 2643
As Serenity's life points have gone back up, her pain has disappeared and she has begun to relax for a little bit. "Thank you," Serenity smiles.
Shakira smiles back as she nodded and returned to her position.
"Interesting," Shadow Uru hissed. "A Child of the Moon protects a Child of the Stars from harm, how reckless of you."
"Hey Chris, protected us," Atem shouted. "At least all that we could do is that we could return the favor."
"That's right," Serenity nodded. "But if you are going to tempt to hurt her again, I won't allow it."
"Oh really?" Shadow Uru chuckled, "How so?"
"Because…Chris is my friend," Serenity answered.
Chris felt her eyebrows shoot straight up in shock.
Shadow Uru laughed, "Your friend huh, how accurate. I've thought that I have one of your friend(s) right here within me, that has become one of my puppets."
"I can have more than just one friend," Serenity spoke. "And with more friends, they've become my family. And Chris, Atem, the ones that are on the field and the ones that you've held hostage is one of them.
"No, I may not know the tactics, wield a weapon, or battle strategies to be a warrior of the moon. But I do hold one weapon that is strong enough for me to protect someone that is precious to me."
"And that is?"
"My heart," Serenity answered.
"Huh?" Shadow Uru tilted his head.
Atem smiled, knowing what Serenity has meant.
"It is the strongest weapon that I have," Serenity continued. "It allows me to carry out what lives inside of e to keep my family of friendship alive. And it is called love."
"Love?" Shadow Uru hissed angrily.
"Yes, love. Love is what lives at the bottom of my heart," Serenity continues. "It's what has brought me joy and lightens my world, and I will do anything to protect them and to help them. That is what can keep me going…"
"Well said Serenity," Atem nodded.
Serenity… Chris thought in pain as she started to open her eyes, …you…you do have the courage…to follow your heart…and become a warrior…from within… Before Chris could listen more to Serenity's words. Chris slowly moved her hand to touch one of Serenity's hands. As she touched it, Serenity felt her moved. Serenity looks at her.
"Chris," she smiles in relief.
"…Serenity…" Chris whispered as her body started to glow in the color red.
"Huh?" Atem jumped a bit.
"What is this?" Shadow Uru tilted his head.
"…Serenity…Princess of Silver Millennium…" Chris whispered, "…I…I choose… you…" all at once, a bright red glow glowed brightly throughout the entire dueling field.
When the glow is dissipated, Serenity was still sitting on her knees. When she looks at her arms, Chris is no longer in her arms. But underneath her arms, she saw a shadow that is in the shape of ahead. She looks to her side, she saw a woman standing in front of her. She has tan skin, the same height as hers, long blond hair with red streaks, and she wears clothes that are easily exposed. Both Serenity and Atem studied the clothes. The woman is wearing yellow and red clothes with a little bit of a mixture of bronze. The red-bronze cloth looks like an actual medal and they are in weird shapes that are very hard to explain. She is also wearing a bronze chain necklace with a ruby that is attached to it. On her head, it is close to being a crown-like headband. But with wing-like ears to the sides of her head. Behind her, her cape is flowing like fire but with no heat to feel.
Before they could say anything, Serenity looked at the left arm of the woman. It is in the color of Crimson-Bronze with three feathered-shape as a wing and an unusual dragon symbol that is in the middle of the eye. And life points as showing the number of 2550. All at once, it has hit her. As Serenity looks at the woman with fully widened eyes. "Chris?" she stood up. Before she could say anything else. Teenaged Chris opens her eyes and shows her eyes that glow bloody-red with yellow markings that are floating around her face.
Shadow Uru hissed in horror, "You're the Crimson Dragon?!" He hissed loudly.
Crimson Dragon? Atem jumped, Chris is a dragon?
Then Shadow Uru turned to Serenity, "And you're her Signer?!"
"Huh?" Serenity jumped in confusion, suddenly she saw a strange glow underneath her eyes. She looks down and looks at her right arm. It is glowing with a mysterious shape that she had never seen before. "N-no way," she spoke with her eyes widened. Where did this come from? Serenity wondered, Where and how did I get it?
"Serenity," Teenage Chris spoke to Serenity with a calm and gentle voice. Serenity turned to her, "Don't be afraid," Teenage Chris spoke. "I chose you for a reason and with that reason is why you have earned the mark of me."
"The Mark of you?" Serenity asked.
"Chris, what do you mean?" Atem asked.
"I know that you two would have a lot of questions to ask me," Teenage Chris spoke. "But I will answer them once this duel is over, I promise." Both Serenity and Atem look at each other and look back at Teenaged Chris.
"Alright Chris," Atem spoke. "As long as you kept your word to the very end."
"Yes Atem, I understand." Teenage Chris responded as she turned back to the duel. "Bug-Breath."
Shadow Uru hissed. Bug-Breath, are you kidding me? he thought. The Crimson Dragon won't let those names down, doesn't she or he if that is?
"Let's continue the duel," Teenage Chris spoke. "So, you could tell those Dirt Bags that my companions and I have squashed your webby butt on the moon."
"We'll see about that, Crimson Dragon." Shadow Uru hissed as they all continued to duel.
While they are continuing dueling, in the purple-flaming wall. Queen Serenity looks at the dueling field as her eyes are widened and her hand still clutching the red ribbon while she is in the barrier. "I…I don't believe it…" she spoke quietly, "My…my own daughter…has been chosen by…a god/goddess…from the People of the Stars…itself…" she watches her daughter and the others duel while she is in the purple-flaming wall and be shielded by Chris's ribbon for a while longer.
