Chapter 5: A Fang of Courage
Hey guys! It's me sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know it's been a while, but I've been busy with school work and stuff. Anyhow, disclaimer time.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. I also do not own Chris, Caitlyn, Lily, Winston, Rose, Sara, Sia, or Rina. They belong to D.J. Scales
This will begin in third person, and enjoy!
A hooded figure was leading Igneous, Caitlyn, Lily, and Winston into the woods where the rumored Wicked Spirit lived.
"Are you sure this is where you said you had something to show us?" asked Caitlyn
"Yes. The place you seek lies just ahead." Said the hooded figure
Before they reached their destination, Winston, Lily, Caitlyn, and Igneous were knocked out by an unseen force.
Dawn's P.O.V.
Leo, Luna, Dexter, and I were in this weird forest. Sure was creepy.
"I say we go back now. Okay guys? Guys?" asked Leo
"You're the one who wanted to explore. Leo, are you scared?" asked Dexter
"Uh, I'm not scared at all! No, I was just thinking that Luna might be scared, that's all." Said Leo
"Actually, I'm fine." Said Luna
"Super! Then I'm fine as well!" exclaimed Leo
"Uh-huh." I said unconvinced
"Just stay close." Said Leo
So began a trek through the forest when suddenly, I could've sworn I heard voices.
"Something's over there, I can feel it." Said Luna
"Great minds must think alike." I said
Then, my legs began to move by themselves as everything turned to black.
Sakura's P.O.V.
I was in the garage with Yusei and Crow when Crow was telling me something about a wicked spirit.
"Wicked Spirits?" Yusei and I asked in unison
"Yeah, I can't believe you never heard the story Yusei, Sakura. How people go for a hike in the forest and then just vanish. Supposedly, the first to disappear were two young kids. Spirits snatched them right from their house." Said Crow
"Aren't you getting a little old for ghost stories Crow?" I asked
"I'm telling you it's true, and ever since that faithful day, anyone who happens to wander too deep in the forest gets snatched too. Anyway, I ought to get going Yusei, Sakura. I'm late for work." Said Crow
"Me too, about getting going I mean. I think Dawn's staying after again. See you two later." I said as I started my duel runner
Dawn's P.O.V.
The sound of a stick breaking brought me to my senses. Where am I? And Luna's with me.
"Whoa, where are we?" asked Luna
"Don't know. Leo! Dexter! Where are you? Anyone!" I exclaimed
I heard some kind of moaning. That didn't sound good.
"Is… is there somebody out there?" asked Luna
The tree branches just started to move on their own. I gave a shriek of fright.
"Help!" exclaimed Luna
"Leo! Dexter! Please, anyone, help us!" I exclaimed
A strong gust of wind blew, and then the plants disappeared.
"Are you two okay? No need to be scared." Said the boy who appeared in front of us
"Who are you?" asked Luna
"My name's Haley. And yours?" asked Haley
"Luna." Said Luna
"And I'm Dawn. Hi." I said
"Nice to meet you Luna, Dawn. This is a dangerous place to be alone. This entire forest is full of wicked spirits." Said Haley
"Spirits?" asked Luna
"Yeah. Come with me. My house is just a ways past the lake, you can meet my little sister Claire, plus you two will be safe." Said Haley
"Uh, I guess that would be okay." Said Luna
"What you said Luna." I said
Sakura's P.O.V.
Man, I've turned the entire school upside down, and there's no sign of her. Where is she?
"Sakura, what are you doing here?" asked a male voice
"Huh? Chris, Karen. I thought you two went home." I said
"Well, I kinda volunteered to help clean up the science lab this afternoon, and it took longer than I thought. If Chris didn't show up, I probably would've gotten home by eleven." Said Karen
"Yeah, have you seen Dawn by any chance?" I asked
"Maybe she's with Winston." Said Chris
"I tried his number, but I keep getting the 'he's out of range' message." I said
"Well, we could check Sia's and Rina's place." Said Karen
"Wait, isn't today the day Krystal has to start that bet?" I asked
"Yeah, why?" asked Chris
"Now this I gotta see." I said
Third Person P.O.V.
Krystal was currently in the Tops, AKA, Sia's and Rina's apartment, and was in a maid's outfit, currently cleaning a set of china. Sia and Rina were watching Krystal while Rose and Sara were sitting in a couple of chairs.
"Well, I think that's enough with the china." Said Rina
"What's next?" asked Krystal
"Tutoring time. We're on spellcasters now, and you need to get up to speed." Said Sia
"Fine, just get the duel puzzle." Said Krystal
"Actually, I was thinking you could duel me. I run a spellcaster deck." Said Sia
"Oh, well, yeah, I guess that could work, and stuff." Said Krystal
"Alright, so let's begin lesson one." Said Sia
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 4000
"I'll start. And I activate the field spell Necrovalley." Said Sia
"Necrovalley? Wait a minute! You run a Gravekeeper's deck?" asked Krystal
"Bingo. And now here come Gravekeeper's Priestess (ATK: 1000-1500/ DEF: 1500-2000) And because of her special ability, all Gravekeeper monsters gain an additional 200 attack and defense points. (ATK: 1700/ DEF: 2200). I'll end it with a face-down. You're up." Said Sia
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 4000
"Thanks. And I'll start with Machine Angel Ritual. I'll send my Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to the grave to summon Cyber Angel Dakini! (ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2400) And thanks to her special ability, when she's summoned, your priestess bites the dust. Top that, after my angel attacks!" exclaimed Krystal
"I will, with Rite of Spirit! I can bring back my Priestess in defense mode!" exclaimed Sia
"Good luck with that, you see whenever Dakini attacks a monster in defense mode, the difference is dealt as damage." Said Krystal
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 3300
"I'll end my turn with a face-down. You're up." Said Krystal
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 3300
"Thanks. And I'll do with a set-down and another face-down. Go ahead and attack. You may destroy my monster, but you'll be wide open." Said Sia
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 3300
"Nice try, but that's not going to scare me. Dakini, wipe out her monster!" exclaimed Krystal
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 3000
"Thanks, that was Gravekeeper's Guard! (ATK: 1000-1500/ DEF: 1900-2400) And since he was flipped up, Dakini is sent back into your hand." Said Sia
"Say what?-!" exclaimed Krystal
"You heard what I said." Said Sia
"I end my turn." Said Krystal
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 3000
"My move! And I activate the spell, Spellbook inside the Pot! Now we both draw three new cards from our decks. And next, I'll top it off with Star Blast! I'll just pay 500 life points so I can summon out Gravekeeper's Chief! (ATK: 1900-2400/ DEF: 1200-1700)" said Sia
Krystal LP 4000/ Sia LP 2500
"Now I activate my spell card Royal Tribute! Now because Necrovalley is on the field, we have to discard all monsters in our hands." Said Sia
"Wait, all monsters?" asked Krystal
"Yep, and by the look on your face, other than Dakini, you had another monster in your hand along with a few others." Said Sia
"Yeah, my Cyber Tutu, Cyber Prima, and Cyber Petit Angel." Said Krystal
"Thought so. And now I activate Call of the Haunted! Now I can bring back Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier! (ATK: 1500-2000/ DEF: 1000-1500) Alright you two, attack her! End this duel!" exclaimed Sia
Krystal LP 0/ Sia LP 2500
"I lost. Again?" asked Krystal
"Hey, don't feel bad, at least you got Dakini out this time. How many times did you manage that?" asked Sia
"Um, truth be told, this was the first time I brought out Dakini." Said Krystal
"See? You're improving, and a true duelist never knows when to stop." Said Sakura
Sia, Rina, Rose, and Sara turned to see Sakura, Karen, and Chris in the doorway.
"Sakura, what are you doing here?" asked Rose
"Looking for Dawn. I was under the impression that she might be with Winston, who might be with you guys, but I guess I guessed wrong." Said Sakura
"Winston? Come to think of it, this girl appeared after school today, and she was talking to Winston, Lily, Caitlyn, and a guy with a blue spiky Mohawk." Said Sara
"Igneous? Can you describe the girl?" asked Sakura
"She's about this tall, has black hair and green eyes, wears green earrings with some kind of diamond hanging from the stud, and wears a lot of make-up." Said Sia
"Wait, wears a lot of make-up? Did she mention her name?" asked Sakura
"Um, I think it was Asami something." Said Rina
"Asami?-! Oh no." said Sakura
"What's wrong?" asked Karen
"Where did she take them?" asked Sakura
"Um, the forest, you know, the one with the wicked spirits." Said Krystal
Sakura's eyes widened as her face turned into one of worry.
Dawn's P.O.V.
Haley led us to this mansion, and I suddenly got the feeling that we were being watched.
"Here we are." Said Haley
He opened the door and let us in. It's so big for a kid like himself. Even the penthouse Sakura and I have has this feeling of loneliness from time to time.
"So, let me get this straight, you keep away the wicked spirits with your deck?" asked Luna
"Yes. I've been doing it for a while now too." Said Haley
"So, you're a Psychic duelist then, like me. I guess there's no reason to be scared with you as bodyguard to help us out." I said
"Got that right Luna, Dawn. I'll protect you two no matter what it takes, just like how I've been protecting my sis. Come on, I'll introduce you two." Said Haley
He has a sibling, like me and Luna. Wow. I guess blood is thicker than Ener-D, just like Sakura always said.
"Claire? Claire, I have someone I'd like you to meet." Said Haley
"Uh, hi Claire." Said Luna
"Hello." I said
"Claire, wanna say hi back?" asked Haley
There was no response from her. Is she sick or something?
"Maybe she's sleeping?" asked Luna
"Probably. She sleeps a lot ever since we had this really close call with the Wicked Spirits a while back. Actually, when was it? The days seem to blend together since then." Said Haley
"I don't mean to pry, but what exactly do these spirits want? Why are they after us? Do you have any idea?" I asked
"All I know is that this forest is haunted, and that the spirits that haunt it won't stop until they find two humans, but I don't know why." Said Haley
Haley seemed to sense something amiss and then walked over to the window.
"What's wrong Haley?" asked Luna
"Something's coming, and I think it's you-know-who. Stay here until I come back. It's not safe for you to leave this room." Said Haley
"Wait, we can…" I started
The door then closed on us and I heard another door creak open. First, I have to see if Haley's going to be okay. I walked over to the window with Luna and saw Leo!
"Leo?" wondered Luna
"Leo!" I exclaimed while banging on the window
He looked up and saw me. He tried to make it inside, but then pulled out his duel disk. This doesn't look good.
"Claire, your brother, he's…" started Luna
Luna pulled the curtains surrounding the bed aside, only to reveal a doll!
"A… doll?" I wondered
"Dawn, what are we going to do?" asked Luna
"I'll check what's in that room to see what's going on. Meanwhile, keep an eye on Leo in case something bad is going to happen, okay?" I asked
"Okay. Be careful." Said Luna
"I will. But Luna, listen to me. I'm getting a bad feeling all of a sudden, and it started when that door opened. If you hear a card called 'The Seal of Orichalcos' use my cell phone to call Sakura or Matt. They'll get here as soon they can if they're not already on their way." I said
"Alright." Said Luna
I walked into the room, only to discover it was pitch-black. The lights suddenly sprang to life and I had to shield my eyes.
"Finally! About time you got here!" exclaimed a female voice
I looked to see the girl from the other night. What was her name again? She wasn't Antea, that's for sure.
"Who are you?" I asked
"My name is Asami Hino. I don't believe we had properly introduced ourselves the last time we met." Said Asami
"Yeah, because you and your gang were too busy stealing the Sacred Beasts, and I can only assume from the duel disk on your arm that you want to duel. First things first, one, how did you get in here without Haley knowing that you're here? Second, why should I duel you?" I asked
"So many questions, so little time. Answer one, I have my ways. Answer two; you want to save them, don't you?" Asami asked while pointing next to her
I turned to see Winston, Caitlyn, Lily, and Igneous! Oh no!
"Winston! Caitlyn! Lily! Igneous! What have you done to them?-!" I exclaimed
"I took their souls and if you want them back, you have to beat me in a duel." Said Asami
"Fine, seeing that I can't get out of this one." I said
"Let's duel!" Asami and I exclaimed in unison
Dawn LP 4000/ Asami LP 4000
"Hope you don't mind, but I'll go first! I summon Destiny Hero – Celestial in attack mode! (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1400) Next, I activate the Field Spell Clock Tower Prison! Then, I'll kick it off with Graceful Charity! This lets me draw three new cards, so long as I discard two from my hand! So I send Diamond Dude and Disk Commander to the grave! I can't attack this turn, so I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn." I said
Dawn LP 4000/ Asami LP 4000
I have to prepare myself in case the Seal of Orichalcos comes up next. Thankfully, both of my traps are Eternal Dread. Since I did go first this round, during her draw phase, I can activate them both. Thankfully when Clock Tower Prison is destroyed, I can bring out Dreadmaster. I just hope the plan works out better than in my head. Then again, I don't know what kind of deck she plays.
"It's my turn now. I draw." said Asami
"And I activate both of my traps, Eternal Dread! The bell shall toll for thee!" I exclaimed
"As if. I summon to the field Vylon Charger. (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 4) And now I activate the Seal of Orichalcos!" exclaimed Asami
The field spell from the other day then destroyed my field spell, and I knew I crossed the point of no return.
"As you know the loser will lose their soul. There's no going back once the seal has been played." Said Asami
"Well thanks for helping me out. Because Clock Tower Prison was destroyed, I can summon out my Destiny Hero – Dreadmaster! (ATK: ?/ DEF: ?/ LV: 8) And thanks to his special ability, whenever he's summoned out that way, I can special summon from my graveyard Diamond Dude (ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1600/ LV: 4) in attack mode and Disk Commander in defense mode! (ATK: 300/ DEF: 300/ LV: 2) And when Disk Commander is special summoned this way, I can draw two new cards. And Dreadmaster gets an added bonus, he's allowed to gain attack and defense points equal to the sum of all the monsters' attack points on the field as long as they have 'Destiny Hero' in their name. (ATK: 3300/ DEF: 3300)" I said
"Whatever, I can still take out your Diamond Dude!" exclaimed Asami
"Sorry, but because Dreadmaster was special summoned this turn, you can't destroy my monsters in battle, and I can't take battle damage. So, unless you have another move in mind, I'd suggest you end your turn." I said
"Oh I got another move, and it's called The Dark Door! Now we both can only attack using one monster per turn. I hope you can survive, especially against these two face-downs." Said Asami
Dawn LP 4000/ Asami LP 4000
"My move!" I exclaimed
I heard a groan and turned to see Winston, Caitlyn, Lily, and Igneous begin to wake up. Wait a minute, if they're waking up, then that means…
"You little liar! You told me you took their souls!" I exclaimed livid
"It takes too long to duel them one-by-one. I took the easy route." Said Asami
"And it looks like your make-up went to your head. But I gotta ask why did you bring them here? Don't tell me it's because of their decks because I'm…" I started
"It does involve their decks, and my own." Said Asami
"Huh? You mind explaining?" I asked
"Every monster archetype has a story like how the Gem-Knights came to be, and the purpose behind the Allies of Justice. Once upon a time, the Vylon, who had merely observed the confrontations on the planet below, descended from the heavens to intervene with a war between the Laval and Gem-Knight tribes." Said Asami
"Our deck archetypes…" started Igneous
"Fought against each other?" finished Winston
"Yes. At the same time, the Steelswarm awakened from underground near a battle between the Gusto and Gishki tribes, feeding off the chaos the constant fighting has caused and seeking revenge on the surface world and the Vylon for they were the ones who sealed away the Steelswarm in the first place." Said Asami
"Wait, the Gusto and Gisiki had problems too?" asked Caitlyn
"Who knew?" Lily asked dumbfounded
"Seriously, what do they teach at Duel Academy these days? Now, where was I? Oh yes, now I remember. In order to combat this powerful threat, the four tribes of Gem-Knight, Laval, Gusto, and Gishki created an alliance under the direction of the Vylon. In their time of need, the Vylon sent each of the tribes new power via 'Vylon Element'. Vylon Sphere combined its power with Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto in order to create Daigusto Sphreez, Vylon Tetra combined itself with Gishki Noellia to create Evigishki Tetrogre, Vylon Stella combined itself with Laval Cannon in order to create Laval Stennon, and Vylon Prism combined with Gem-Knight Crystal to form Gem-Knight Prismaura. The final battle drew to a close as Steelswarm Hercules rose to end it himself, when suddenly Vylon Omega appeared from the Vylon Element gateway to turn the tides. Omega descended on the field of battle, vaporizing all of the lesser Steelswarm that drew near. The war was decided when the two leaders clashed, and in the end they both lay defeated. Peace after victory didn't last long as the other tribes soon return to fighting over petty conflicts. The Vylon didn't understand such disunion, and the defeat of the Steelswarm was shown to have an effect on them. The negative feelings and energies that the creatures' dead bodies emanate seemed to warp the minds of the remaining Vylon. They resolved to exterminate the other tribes to end their on-going feuds for good. Vylon Stigma, Vylon Tesseract, and Vylon Pentachloro joined together to create the seeker of absolute unity." Said Asami
"And who was it?" I asked
"I… don't know." Said Asami
An anime fall was in order.
"Wait, you don't know?-!" I exclaimed
"Well, for starters, the card hasn't even been created yet. Second, I don't know its name. All I know is that that Vylon absorbed the members of the other tribes, gaining the power to defeat each one in return. The tribes were forced to reunite once again, sharing their powers to fight against their friend-turned-foe. Gem-Knight Pearl was created from the strength of the Gem-Knights and Gishki, proving immune to its absorption ability, and had the power to end the twisted angel for good." Said Asami
"Whoa." I said
"Now that you know the story, what will you do? Will you continue this duel, or will you surrender your soul?" asked Asami
Sakura's P.O.V.
I drove through the forest when my Duel Runner was getting an incoming message from Dawn.
"Dawn, thank goodness you're…" I started
"Actually, it's Luna. Dawn told me to call you if I heard the words 'The Seal of Orichalcos', which I did. I don't know what the card is about, but I think you do." Said Luna
Damn it, I'm too late.
"Yeah, I do. Just hang tight. I'm going to find you. Leave the cell phone on and place it somewhere. When you see my Duel Runner, you can turn it off. I'm going to follow the cell phone signal." I said
I began tracing the call, and the signal came due west – southwest. Oh great, I'm going the wrong way! I finally got the right area, and I drove into a middle of a duel, and Leo was in it, and I was followed by Yusei.
"You're tough to find." Said Yusei
"Yusei! Sakura!" exclaimed Leo
"What's this? Another Wicked Spirit?" asked Haley
"Spirits? Us?" I asked
"What's going on Leo?" asked Yusei
"Don't worry about me Yusei, you need to help Luna and Dawn. This kid has them trapped in that house!" exclaimed Leo
"Not only that, but the Orichalcos is inside dueling my sister." I said
"All that matters is she's safe from you three." Said Haley
"Us?" asked Yusei
"Hello, I'm Luna's brother, and she's Dawn's sister, and he's their friend. Now go Power Tool Dragon and take down that Hollow Spirit!" exclaimed Leo
And I spy an opening. I put my duel runner on full throttle, and made it inside. Talk about breaking in a house in style.
"Luna!" exclaimed Yusei
"Dawn!" I exclaimed
We soon heard a scream coming from outside.
"Leo." Yusei said out of concern
We turned around and saw a portrait.
"What's this?" I wondered
"Two children, just like in Crow's story. They were living in a house in the forest until one day the Wicked Spirits came and snatched them. They were the first to disappear, only, how could they have disappeared if they're still here, or at least, one of them is?" asked Yusei
"Answer, impossible. Unless…" I started
Dawn's P.O.V.
"Fat chance lady! I activate Diamond Dude's special ability! I draw the top card of my deck, and if it's a normal spell card, it goes straight to the grave, and it's Destiny Draw! I'll send you with a nice trip to the grave. Next, I sacrifice my Disk Commander to summon out Destiny Hero- Dasher! (ATK: 2100/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 6) And now, Dreadmaster gets a much needed power boost. (ATK: 5100/ DEF: 5100) Dreadmaster, take out that Charger!" I exclaimed
"Sorry, but Negate Attack is coming your way!" exclaimed Asami
"I'll get you yet! I'll end with a face-down!" I exclaimed
Dawn LP 4000/ Asami LP 4000
"My turn then, and I summon out Vylon Prism! (ATK: 1500-2000/ DEF: 1500/ LV: 4/ Attribute: Dark) Next, I activate DNA Transplant! In case you don't know, this card changes the attribute of all monsters to whatever I choose, and its light! Now, I'm tuning Prism with Charger! Angels of the heavens, gather your forces to defeat your enemy of evil taint! Synchro Summon! Arrive, Vylon Epsilon! (ATK: 2800-3300/ DEF: 1200/ LV: 8/ Attribute: Dark) Now Prism's special ability activates! I pay 500 life points in order to add Prism as an Equip Card!" exclaimed Asami
Dawn LP 4000/ Asami LP 3500
"Epsilon, attack Diamond Dude! Oh, and because Prism is an equip card, it adds 1000 extra attack points to him." Said Asami
"It does what?-!" I exclaimed
Dawn LP 1100/ Asami LP 3500
"Dawn!" exclaimed Winston
"Just give up now, because Epsilon can send Prism to the grave in order to destroy Dreadmaster!" exclaimed Asami
"Sorry, but now I can activate Destiny Signal! Now I can special summon Destiny Hero – Dunker! (ATK: 1200/ DEF: 1700/ LV: 4)" I exclaimed
And just hope I can survive.
"A meaningless effort. I place one card face-down and end my turn." Said Asami
Sakura's P.O.V.
Yusei and I were walking in the hallway when I heard something.
'Save me, please.'
That didn't sound good.
"Those voices, they're coming from in here." Said Yusei
I opened the door, and there were people trapped in cards! This wasn't like the Seal though, this was something else!
"Oh man. These guys have to be the victims of the Wicked Spirits. Wait a minute that means…" I started
Dawn's P.O.V.
"This is it. I draw! And I discard from my hand Destiny Hero – Dread Servant in order to activate the Destiny Draw in my grave! Thanks to Diamond Dude, even when he's not on the field, I can activate the card in my grave, and because of it, I'm allowed to draw two more cards. I'll need all the help I can get with this last draw." I said
The top card of my deck began to glow. What's going on?
Sakura's P.O.V.
A card in my deck began to glow, and it was Timeaus! I was suddenly whisked away to where I first met Timeaus and saw a knight in blackish-blue armor, bowing down and kissing Dawn on the hand. The second dragon has awakened! When I was back in the real world, Yusei just opened the door.
"Luna!" exclaimed Yusei
"Yusei! Sakura!" exclaimed Luna
"Are you okay?" asked Yusei
"Yeah, but I'm not so sure she is." Said Luna
"Where's Dawn?" I asked
"In there." Said Luna
"She'll need moral support. I'm going in there." I said
Dawn's P.O.V.
What was that? What did I see?
"Are you going to stand there all day? I'm waiting. Maybe you should just surrender." Said Asami
"Don't listen to her!" exclaimed a female voice
I turned around to see Sakura.
"Sakura!" I exclaimed
"Dawn, I know you've been uncertain ever since you-know-what, but this is different now. Believe in your deck, and it'll answer to you." Said Sakura
"You think so?" I asked
"I know so. Now draw that card!" exclaimed Sakura
"You bet. Here comes everything!" I exclaimed
I drew my card, and the dragon was new, but it was the card I saw earlier! The knight!
"First, I send Destiny Hero – Captain Tenacious to the graveyard so Dunker can slam you with 500 points of damage!" I exclaimed
Dawn LP 1100/ Asami LP 3000
"Next off, I place a card face-down and then activate Fang of Critias!" I exclaimed
"What's that going to do?" asked Asami
"Bring your demise, because now I can fuse it with the trap I just set, D-Counter!" I exclaimed
"You can't do that!" exclaimed Asami
"I just did! Meet Destiny Mirror Dragon! (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000/ LV: 7) Next, I activate Lightning Vortex! I discard Destiny Hero – Defender from my hand, and Epsilon goes bye-bye!" I exclaimed
"So, your dragon can't hurt me!" exclaimed Asami
"Not when I activate this equip card, Mage Power. For every face-down on the field, he gains 500 attack points, including Mage Power. (ATK: 4000) Mirror Dragon, get her!" I exclaimed
"Not so fast! I play the spell Contagion of Madness! I still take damage from your attack, but you take damage equal to half of your dragon's attack points!" exclaimed Asami
Dawn LP 0/ Asami LP 0
"It's a draw!" I exclaimed
We were then forced out of the seal, and Winston caught me.
"We'll meet again Dawn Phoenix, and you won't be so lucky next time!" exclaimed Asami
Sakura's P.O.V.
After that episode, we went outside where we saw Leo win his duel.
"Oh no. I wasn't strong enough to protect Claire from the Wicked Spirits." Said a male voice
"They're not wicked." Said Luna
"Sis!" exclaimed Leo
"Leo." Said Luna
"Haley." Said a female voice
A girl with long blond hair appeared and walked up to Haley.
"Claire! What does she mean the spirits aren't wicked? They keep coming for us, trying to take us, so they can make us like them." Said Haley
"Brother, they made us like them a long time ago. The only difference is I realized it and you didn't." said Claire
"Then who are they?" asked Haley
"I happen to be Dawn's sister, and I was worried sick about her. When I learned that she was here, I came running." I said
"Leo." Said Luna
"Luna, are you okay?" asked Leo
"Yeah. You saved me." Said Luna
"Of course." Said Leo
"I'm so confused." Said Haley
"Haley, you've been so focused on protecting me, you haven't been able to accept reality. You've been in limbo. Do you understand?" asked Claire
"I think. But why did the spirits take us?" asked Haley
"'Coz, they wanted two fun kids to play with." Said Claire
"Luna, Dawn, Leo, Sakura, is there any way the four of you will ever be able to forgive me?" asked Haley
"Of course. Everything you did you did because you were trying to keep your kid sister safe, right?" asked Luna
Leo nodded his head.
"But when you started to lose, this appeared. It's what made it possible for your sister to appear, and you to have closure." Said Luna
"Now then, ready?" asked Claire
"Yes. Hey, thanks for everything." Said Haley
"Hey, no prob. You're one great duelist." Said Leo
Haley and Claire held hands and a gentle wind began to blow as they began to float in the air. They disappeared into the afterlife as the house was reduced to a pile of rubble.
"Whoa, where did they go? Where's the house gone?" asked Leo
"And who are these people?" asked Dawn
"The house disappeared along with Haley and Claire when they passed over. These people were trapped because of Haley's strong desire to protect Claire. The stories were true, there was a Wicked Spirit but only because the spirit didn't know better. Haley was the one doing all of the snatching, though he didn't know it. All the real forest spirits wanted was to play with two children. They didn't mean any harm whatsoever." I said
"So then Haley and Claire can come back to this world anytime they want to? They're not stuck in some super scary spirit world from here on out?" asked Leo
"That's right." Said Dawn
"Hey, who knows, maybe they'll invite us up to come and play some time." Said Yusei
"Yeah, that would be awesome!" exclaimed Leo
"Well, well, look who's finally not afraid anymore." Said Luna
"Afraid? I was never afraid." Said Leo
A cat then meowed.
"Hey, what was that?" asked Leo
That got a good laugh.
"Speaking of invites, I promised Rose and Sara that we'd be back at Sia's and Rina's place, right Lily?" asked Caitlyn
"Yeah. Wait, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't today the day you-know-what happens?" asked Lily
"Yep, it's today. I stopped by your place before I came to the forest. I wonder what they're doing now." I said

To answer that question, Krystal was currently in a Cyber Harpie costume, and she did not look happy.
"Why am I in this costume?-!" demanded Krystal
"Well, you act like a Harpie, so I thought it was appropriate that you'd look like one." Said Rina
"I swear, you better now have anything else planned in mind!" exclaimed Krystal
"Oh yeah, plenty, and it's going to start with this." Said Sia
She handed Krystal a single feather.
"What's this?" asked Krystal
"A feather duster. See those books on that shelf? They're really delicate, so we can't just use an old-fashioned one 'coz they could fall apart any day if we're not careful, so you're going to clean them." Said Rina
"This is impossible!" exclaimed Krystal
"Come on, we managed to do it. Quit whining." Said Sia
Krystal just grumbled as she began to work.
"How long do you think it's going to take?" asked Rina
"Not long enough." Answered Sia
