" Woah! These are the duelists of Link Vrains, huh? I can't believe it! " Tuffy said, with amazement expression on his face

" They are called themselves Charisma duelists. " Jerry said

" Charisma duelists? Who they really are, pal? " Tom asked, with a little curiosity

" The Charisma duelists are the most well known and skilled duelists in the entire Link Vrains world. They used strongest decks. They are widely popular throughout the entire city. " Jerry said in response

" Oh, I get it now. I wished that I will gonna meet one of them in personal. They are so tough and unbeatable. " Tom said

" But many people are so vying of that mysterious duelist over there. " Spike said, pointed the other poster picture on the center portion of the wall, through his finger

" That's the mysterious and the hero of Link Vrains, the one and only Playmaker. " Jerry said in response

" Playmaker? I have never of heard of him from before. " Tom wondered in curiosity

" He was the one who defeated the Knights of Hanoi two months ago. He uses Cyberse deck, the most powerful duel monsters deck in the entire Link Vrains. But somehow, his real secret identity was still hidden in a secret mystery. I wished that I will meet that duelist guy. " Jerry stated

" I think that duelist was far more different from your master, Jerry. I was wondering if that duelist guy got a pet mice just like you. " Spike said

" I hope so it was true " Tuffy said, with a deep sigh

" So, shall we played some online games then in inside? " Jerry asked

" Sure thing, pal. " Tom answered

" I can't wait for this! This time, I needed some huge bonus points to win in the last bonus game level. " Spike said, with excitement

And so, the four entered in the cafe computer shop, in order to played an online game.

Meanwhile in Link Vrains, both Gardina and Ghost Gal were having a Speed Duel battle challenge, while Playmaker, Soulburner and Mouse Hero Boy were watching them at the rooftop of a tall building.

" The duel was almost getting reached to the final edge. " Soulburner said

" I guess this is was not an ordinary duel challenge. It was a duel match for strong determination. " Mouse Hero Boy stated

" I hope that Gardina will never lose in this duel. " Ai said, with a little doubtful facial expression

Playmaker, placed his hand on his chest, felt his heartbeat was getting pounded than ever, everytime when he gets being worried or upset of what will might happened to Gardina (Hazel). The two noticed his mood.

" I guess you are feeling so very worried about Gardina, haven't you? " Soulburner asked him

" Yeah, after all, she earned your trust and love feelings even though that you are not quite very popular person that much. " Mouse Hero Boy said to him

" It was very obvious to feel like this from before. I have never been so such a thing in my entire life. Somehow, I can't lose her in my life always even though that I'm not a strong defending person that much. " Playmaker stated, with an upset expression on his face

" Even though that the evil Arga might after you again because you have encountered her from before. Do you think it was not necessary to become a brave and strong person in the virtual reality world rathered than in the real life world? Just face your true fear and anxiety that it was in yourself. If you still haven't moved on from what happened from before, the only way is to just keep on striving and fighting your greatest sadness and grief that it was inside you, just you did when you defeated the Knights of Hanoi a months ago. Just like I did from before. " Soulburner said to him, insisted

" I guess Soulburner got the point there. In a simple explanation, don't ever lose faith and focused on what you wanted to be, just like you wanted to be with Gardina in the future. That's the perspective way of a human being, Master. " Mouse Hero Boy said to him

" I was keep trying but my memories with Sumi was still keep haunting me but somehow, I was feel so comfortable when I was with Gardina. She was the only one who I can depend to. " Playmaker said

" That's the strong spirit, Master. " Mouse Hero Boy said

" Hey, guys! I think Gardina wins the duel match. " Ai said, with a little happy expression on his face

" Really?! It was?! " Playmaker asked in a surprise manner

" I think Gardina used her ace monster to defeat her ace Altergeist ace monster. " Flame stated, in a thoughtful manner

Then, both Gardina and Ghost Gal went down from their Duel Boards, then they approached to them.

" How was the duel match? " Mouse Hero Boy asked

" Seems quite very so tough that much. At first, I was been a little bit panic but in the end, I boost up my new strategy in order to defeat her. " Gardina said in response

" You say so? But I was completely so very worried on about what will might happened to you. " Playmaker said, with worried expression on his face

" Don't need to be worried about me, Playmaker. I will be fine really. " Gardina said to him

" I thought in my mind that she was not strong that much but I was a little bit misjudged about her. She was really great strong duelist. I can't underestimate her because I have already know that you two are childhood friends from before. " Ghost Gal stated, said to them

" You say so, Ghost Gal. So, shall we have an another duel match next time? " Gardina asked

" Of course, I can. I will make sure that I will defeat you that way and sorry about that for what I did yesterday that I was a little bit jealous to you and I thought... I didn't know that you were childhood friends with Playmaker. " Ghost Gal apologize

" It was okay, Ghost Gal. You don't have to apologize to me. After all, we should be close friends and allies from now on... in battling against evil forces. " Gardina said

" Sure thing, I'm so grateful to heard that. " Ghost Gal said

And the two were shaked hands in one another. But Mouse Hero Boy interrupted, asked " So, shall we get going back to real life world then? "

" Sure thing do. We have lot of things that we need to finished today. " Gardina said in response

Before they could went back, Ghost Gal said to her, with a smiling expression on her face " Just take care of him, Miss Gardina. "

She turned her back, did the same way as she did, said " I will, Ghost Gal. "

And they returned back to the real life world, through teleportation.

Later that afternoon, Yusaku was walking on the road, on the way from school, all by himself. As he reached in the outside gate of the school, he saw Sumi Akano, who was standing behind the gate post. When he saw her, he was surprised in fear, dropped his bag on the ground, trying to stepped back away from her. As Sumi saw his reaction, she asked with amusement " Oh, my. Are you trying to stepped back away from me just like that? Are you really truly afraid of me, aren't you? "

" What do you want this time, Sumi? Why are you following me all the way here in every part of the city? Did I already told you from before, just don't ever bothered my life anymore and I don't want to see your face again. " as he picked up his bag on the ground, tried to turned back, walked away from her

" Turning back away from the rear, eh? Oh, Yusaku... You won't able to run away from me just like that because of what I did to you from the past 10 years ago. Somehow, let's make a better difference change in our relationship... " then she touched him on his shoulder, wrapped with both of her arms

But Yusaku pulled himself away from her, turned his back to her and said " It will never changed that way... ever! After all, I will never forgive you for what you have done to me. I already have my own girlfriend. I'm so sick of those terrible things that you have done with. You are nothing but a lyler and a worst criminal person. "

Sumi, was became enraged in jealousy when he said that he already have his own girlfriend. Driven by her anger and resentment and then she pulled his arm in strong force.

" What are you doing? Just let me go, Sumi! " as he tried to pulled his arm away from her

" Don't ever treated me just like that! I will never allowed you to be with someone else. You are only belonged to me ever! "

" I will never come with you, Sumi! ever! My love was truly belonged to the only girl whom I can depend to. "

" You mean Green Lantern Girl, huh? Ha, she was so very useless warrior to me. "

" she was not useless! she was strong, tough and brave heroine. She could fight bad people just for the sake of others, and even including you! "

Driven by insanement with jealousy, she still trying to pulled his arm forcibly.

" I said let go of me! "

" You are not running from me anywhere, my dear Yusaku. I will make sure that you will be mine forever. "

But that very moment, Hazel arrives in along with Takeru and Jeru, riding on the electronic motorcycle. They were quickly rushed down from the vehicle. Hazel uses her green powers to launch an attack on her, in order to release him from her grasp while Takeru and Jeru kicked her down on the road. Yusaku, was very surprised when he saw them, who were arrived to rescued him. After that, they went approached to him.

Hazel, touch his arm, through her hand, asked him " Are you just alright, Yusaku? Did she hurt you so badly that much? "

" But... how did you guys know that I was in trouble anyway? " Yusaku asked

" I have been received a call from Ryoken Kogami a hour ago that Sumi was trying to seize you off again. And so, I contacted Jeru and Hazel immediately of what he said to me. Then, Hazel came in, riding on her electronic motorcycle. Me and Jeru were riding on the back, so that we will can able to catch up with you, and to stopped her as well. " Takeru said in response

" I never thought that it will happened that again just like in the past. She was driving completely very insaning towards you, Master. After all, she was totally obsessed to you. " Jeru said to him

But then, Sumi still can able to stand up from knocked down on the ground, making the three were surprised.

" This is not so good... " Jeru uttered

" Damn you lousy brats... you are getting in my way... " Sumi uttered, with a little anger on her face

" We are knowing that you are planning badly for Yusaku, aren't you? You are so very insane than ever seems than from before... the worst... " Takeru asked

" Well... you seems you got the wrong idea there, you lousy brat. Yusaku was my most precious object that I ever have with. You didn't know everything at all. " Sumi said, with evil amusement

" Oh, yeah! We are already know about your real secret, Sumi Akano. You are one of the members of a secret crime organization who were responsible for kidnapping people, in order to paid just for money. You have got the wrong idea at all the times. You have treated my master nothing but a tool. " Jeru said to her

" That's right! Don't ever treated Yusaku just like that, you wicked woman! " Ai shouted

" Why you?... " Sumi said, with enragement on her face, stepped forward in, trying to provoked them

" I wont let it that to happened!! " Hazel shouted and she used her green teleporter, to teleport themselves away from the scene

When they are vanished away from her sight, she was very enraged than ever and she thought on her mind " I won't you ever to get away from this! I will destroyed you all and Yusaku will be mine! "

And she fled from the place. Back when, the four were already at Cal Kolter's driving van, along with the motorcycle that Hazel rided with a while ago.

" Whew! I guess we made it that far. " Ai said, with relief

" I hope that wicked woman will never followed with us. " Flame said

" It was thanks to Hazel's green ring's ability power in order to teleport everywhere, even in some farther places. " Takeru said

Kolter, was driving on the center seat, turned his head, asked Yusaku " Are you alright, pal? "

" Yes, I'm fine. Not a little bit scratch. " Yusaku answered

Kolter turned his back away, facing on the mirror screen, said " That Sumi woman was getting me so very irritated. After all those years that she had done to you from the past after the Lost Incident, she was still trying to searched you and to captured you around. And besides, she was truly the worst criminal person after all. "

" In other words, it was called lust and true obsession. Not only that she likes younger men with gorgeous physical appearances but also on those who are already alone in their lives many years ago, selling them by a crime syndicate and selled them to the one of their members whom they wanted to choose with, mostly beautiful and rich women just like her, and they been instructed on what they should do with these younger men, just like abuse and harassment, in order to give them a higher salary. " Jeru stated

" These women in this modern world generation were treated the men but nothing but tools for their own evil desires. " Ai said

" I guess you got the point there, Ai. " Flame muttered

Then, Hazel looks at Yusaku, who was started to feel saddened in fear, making the others were wondered of his reaction.

" Uh, master, are you alright? " Jeru asked

But Yusaku didn't say a word from his mouth, still saddened in face, with anxiety and fear, thought on his mind that Sumi might after him again.

That very moment, she tapped her hand on his shoulder, said with encouragement " Don't ever to be feared of, Yusaku. I wont ever let that evil woman to get you. I will always stayed by your side at all the times. "

" Hazel... " Yusaku uttered

The two are looking at each other faces, in a romantic manner while Takeru and Jerry were staring at each other, of Yusaku's reaction towards her.

Later that night, Hazel brings Yusaku to his home alongside with Jeru, to take a rest. Hazel decided to spend time the whole night at the house, in order to make sure that Yusaku was alright and feel comfortable. She was do all the household chores in the house with some little help from Jeru even she cooks some delicious foods for Yusaku. After she did all the home duties, she was taking rest while she guarding Yusaku, who was already fell asleep on his bed.

She looks at Yusaku, thought on her mind, hold his hair, through her finger " I will make sure that he will be safe from dangers no matter what it's takes... even though it was very risky that he might totally involved in every situation that might faced with... because I'm the popular heroine of the century... and I will do everything to protect on those who are around me and the entire world including my dear Yusaku as well.. "

And she sat on the chair, closed her eyes and she fall asleep while she stayed beside Yusaku.

The next morning, it was almost 7:00 o clock am. Hazel opened her eyes, then she turned her back, to check on Yusaku if he was already awoke from his bed. But she was surprised that Yusaku was not on his bed and so she searched the entire house but there is no sign of Yusaku anywhere. Jeru, woke up from his bed, went out of the mouse hole, heard the sound that Hazel was searching the entire house. He went out and he approached to her, asked her " What's the matter, Hazel? Why you have been walking around in the entire parts of my master's house? "

" Yusaku was not here around the entire house. "

" Say what?! But I thought that you will gonna guard him the whole night yesterday. " with a shocking expression on his face

" Yeah, I guarded and watch him the whole night but that the time when I woke up this morning, he was not on his bed and I searched the entire house but he was not there. I'm so sorry, Jeru. It was my fault. "

" No, it wasn't your fault, Hazel. I think that Sumi woman was behind of this criminal action. She was trying to captured by master once again. "

" So, now what? Shall we get log in to Link Vrains? We have to make sure if Yusaku... I mean... Playmaker was been held targeted and being held captive by the Virus Clan members or even the assistant in charge Arga... the person whom being obsessed to him. "

" I guess you're right, Hazel. I hope that my master was alright. "

Then, the two get their duel disks, placed on their arms, raised up higher, shouted in a loud voice " It was time for Link Vrains! "

And the two entered in Link Vrains, to searched if Yusaku was there. On the other hand in Link Vrains, Playmaker was finally woke up in inside of an empty room in an unknown place. He wondered on how who had brought him.

" Where am I? "

Then, a slow footsteps was heard, approaching in, making Playmaker was frightened in fear.

" No way... it couldn't be... "

And Arga finally came in, greeted him with evil amusement " Welcome to my place, my dear Playmaker. I'm so glad that you are finally awake. "

" Hold on... how did you brought me here? What do you really want from me this time? "

" Oh... you are so very arrogant than ever from before... that's why I sent you here in Link Vrains in order lured you into my secret trap. "

" What? The message that you have received to me a hour ago... "

She kneeled down, holding his face with her hand, said with amusement " Oh, my dear Playmaker... you will never felt realized that... you didn't forget of what I did to you a long time ago. The real reason why I chose you because that it was is that not only your physical appearance but also your feelings. You are always to be sad and desperate from before, so that I had chosen you to become my next partner. Your friends and allies never knows about this secret including your beloved Green Lantern Girl as well... "

" Hold on... you can understand of what I feel? But why you doing this to me from before? Why?! "

" Is because that... I can understand of what you have feel is through your... touch. " with an evil grin on her face

" Say what?! " with a horrifying shocking expression on his face

That moment, she tried to touched him on the shoulder, making him to be more frightened in fear than ever and then he screamed out loudly.

On the other side, Gardina feeled his distressed presence from farther distance. Mouse Hero Boy asked " What's the matter, Gardina? Do you heard something? "

" I think he was in terrible danger, Mouse Hero Boy. We think that we might get there immediately before its too late. "

" You got it, Gardina. "

Then, the two rode back on their duel boards, leave the place, to find and searched the hideout where Playmaker (Yusaku) who was been held captive by Arga (Sumi). By through his screaming for help, Gardina feels it in her mind that he was in terrible danger, and the real battle confrontation was about to begin.

On the other hand, Jeru and Hazel had entered in Link Vrains, in order to searched and to rescued Playmaker from the evil hands of the Virus Clan.
