Return of the Orichalcos

by sakuraphoenix

6 months after the Dark Signers wars, Sakura Phoenix thinks that she can finally relax along with the upcoming WRGP. That is, until a new threat called The Seal of the Orichalcos appears. Will she defeat this threat, or has she met her match? Sequel to Flight of the Crimson Dragon

18. Return, Fang of Critias!

Chapter 18: Return, Fang of Critias!

Detroid: Welcome back to The Return of the Orichalcos!

sakuraphoenix: Last time, we left you guys with one heck of a cliffhanger… and why do we sound like we're writing a recap of Once Upon a Time?

Detroid: I don't know but it's time for the disclaimer!

sakuraphoenix: You said it!

Disclaimer: We do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, just our OC's

Detroid: You guys will find out later why half of the chapter is called "Return, Fang of Critias." Right now, it's starting in Dawn's POV

sakuraphoenix: Wait, I thought it was Akiza's

Detroid: I know you're joking my cute Fennekin

sakuraphoenix: *blushes* Am I that easy to read?

Detroid: You're my girlfriend. I'm suppose to read you but anywho… It's in Dawn's POV. Enjoy!

We finally got the hospital where Grace was, and I just hoped we could keep the bad news on a minimum, hopefully.

"Hey guys. Thanks for coming." Grace said while smiling

"No prob. We all came as soon as we heard you were awake." I said

"Are trying to hide something from me, Dawn?" Grace asked

"No, why?" I asked her

"I can tell in your voice." Grace told me

"We should tell her Dawn." Crow said

"Tell me what?" Grace asked

"*sigh* Sakura, and Akiza… are with Sayer, and not of their own free will." I told her

"Great… We need to get them back and the good news is… I can go in an hour since they just need to run one final test on me." Grace told us

"Alright. Let's find them in an hour." I said in a determined voice

I just hope we can get out of here by then. If I haven't said this before… I HATE HOSPITALS!

Grace's POV

One hour later, I walked out of the hospital where Dawn, Yusei, Crow, Luna, Leo, Jack, Bruno and Mel were waiting for me. I'm glad to have great friends like them especially Leo who I saw was trying to hide a blush.

"Let's try to find them!" I exclaimed

"Yeah! We'll make Sayer pay for what he did!" Dawn exclaimed

"But how should we find them is the question?" Crow asked

"That is a good question…" I trailed off

If I were a mind-controlled Sakura… where would I be and why was that thought creeping me out?

Sakura's POV

All I could do was watch Akiza inside that pod with whatever Sayer was doing to her. It's my fault she's like this…

"Sakura… It's time to recruit your own sister." Sayer said as he walked up to my body

"My power still hasn't recovered. It seems I used up more than I initially thought." I heard my body tell Sayer

"Then I'll let you rest. I'm going to get something so I'll be back later." Sayer told my body

"I'll make sure Akiza is willing to join with you again, Sayer. You have my word." I heard my body say

"See to it then." Sayer said as he left

"Yes, sir." I heard my body say

Sayer soon left the base since it was underwater. I could tell my controlled self was falling in love with the nutjob. Can I kill him yet?

"Ugh…" Akiza sternly said as she was waking up

"Akiza." I heard my body say

"S… Sakura?" Akiza asked

"It's me." I heard my body say as I felt my hand on the glass of the pod

"What happened and… where am I?" Akiza asked

"Where you truly belong." I heard my body tell her

"No… I belong with my friends…" Akiza said

"You belong with your true family, Akiza. They'll just abandon you one after another. And do you really want that?" I heard my body ask her

"They would never do that to me!" Akiza exclaimed

"Like your so-called parents? They shipped you off to Duel Academy because they couldn't understand people like you and me." I heard my body say

"No… they finally accepted who I am and who I wasn't!" Akiza exclaimed

"Do you truly believe that Akiza? In my experience, everyone whom I was close to turned against me because of my abilities." I heard my body tell her

"That's not true!" Akiza said

"You know it is. Your parents did that to you. To be honest, I'm glad my parents are gone. If they were around when mine and Dawn's powers manifested, they would've treated us the same way your parents did to you." I heard my body say

"You're not the Sakura that I know! I know something is wrong! What happened to you!" Akiza exclaimed

"I'm very much the Sakura you know. That Sakura… that was a fake me. A me I created to keep an image around the world who saw me as a monster. I wanted them to pity me. I wanted them to think I was some helpless girl just waiting for the world to accept me as who I am when really, I am a monster. I've embraced that a long time ago." I heard my body tell Akiza

I soon saw Grima in my mind, smirking

"This will allow Akiza to join Sayer." Grima told me

"You can't do this!" I exclaimed while struggling in my chains

"But it's too late. Your body is already telling Akiza lies when you know that they are true. You made yourself forget about Mary, your only best friend or should I say, her feared friend since she feared you on the inside." Grima told me

"She never feared me… and why do I feel like I'm living Frozen?" I asked out loud

"Say goodbye to your so called friend because Akiza just accepted all of the lies your body told her… including about Mary fearing you." Grima said

"Akiza! Akiza!" I exclaimed as I saw her closing her eyes

I soon saw Akiza opening them again but it was like it was when she was with Sayer before the Dark Signer wars.

"Thanks for bringing me back to my senses, Sakura." Akiza said

"You're very welcome Akiza. Now let's get you out of that pod and get some proper rest." I heard my body say as she removed Akiza from her restraints

"Right." Akiza said as she got out of the pod

"You'll need all the rest you can get. We're getting Dawn tomorrow." I heard my body tell her

"Getting her to join us will help her understand our pain." Akiza said

"And soon, the whole world will feel the pain they inflicted onto us." I heard my body tell her

"Lead me to my room." Akiza said as she removed her hair clip from her hair

"With pleasure." I heard my body say as I saw her hold Akiza's hand

Grima was just laughing, only if I could get out of these chains.

"Sayer will be so pleased that Akiza rejoined him." Grima said

"Yeah, but when I'm free, the first thing I'm gonna do is tear your card in half. The second thing I'm gonna do is punch Sayer so hard his eyes will be spinning. The third thing I'm gonna do is find the nutcase who aided in his escape!" I exclaimed furious

"But you can't, remember? We had a deal which I made sure you can't escape from." Grima said as he showed me a contract form which had my voice recorded to it

"Voice recordings, the bane of my existence." I said in a dramatic tone

"So even if you did escape, you're my slave still, forever." Grima told me

"Not if I burned your card. The only way for me to be rid of you if you died by your own hand, and guess what? You gave me your brand, making me, your own hand." I said while smirking

"Even if you did do that, I'll find a new owner and like I said during the duel we had when Sayer summoned me. I'll take over your boyfriend, when you meet him." Grima told me

"You won't get away with it." I told him

"In twenty-four hours, you won't have a boyfriend. I know what will happen when I took you as my host in the future." Grima said

"I have a boyfriend! And I still will! You just try to kill him you overgrown chicken. You really don't wanna see me mad." I said as Grima flew away

Yeah, he better run, because if I see that overgrown chicken again, he's gonna be barbequed!

Mary's POV

I was walking to Sakura's place since I had some of her favorite food in a bag since I went shopping when I saw Dawn and everyone running past me. I was about to say something when I grabbed Dawn's hand and said:

"Where are you going?"

"We need to hunt down Sayer. He's got Akiza and Sakura!" Dawn exclaimed

"What?!" I exclaimed

"Yeah. We need to figure out where he is. Want to ride with me on my Runner?" Dawn asked me

"Sure!" I exclaimed

I soon got onto Dawn's Duel Runner as we started the search for Sakura and Akiza. BFF and Akiza… Where are you? Please be okay… please…

Sakura's POV

I woke up the same time my controlled body did in the room Sayer set up for me… and I didn't like it. Seriously? Lemon yellow as the paint job? I hate yellow. It makes me think of when Dawn was a Dark Signer, and let me tell ya, those were not good days.

"Miss Phoenix, are you up?" Akiza asked while she was knocking on my door

"Yeah, I am. And no need to be so formal. We're friends after all, Akiza." I heard my body say

"Right, sorry. Ready to leave to get Dawn?" Akiza asked my body

"Of course." I heard my body say as she got out of bed

"I'll wait until you get dressed." Akiza said

"Okay." I heard my body say

"Do you think this will be an easy task?" Akiza asked my body as she heard my body getting dressed

"Knowing my sister, she'll try to put up a fight." I heard my body say as she was getting dressed

"Then we'll have to find a way to lower her guard." Akiza said

"And I know the perfect way, but in order for it to work, you're going to have to fight me." I heard my body tell Akiza

"I like the sound of this already." Akiza said while smirking evilly and waiting for my body to finish getting dressed

I then saw my body putting on my boots before opening the door to see Akiza ready to go.

"Oh yeah, Sayer did give us an order to train by dueling each other before we go get Dawn since they might become suspicious if we aren't at our full strength in dueling." Akiza said

"Then follow me to the Duel Arena, I'll explain my idea on the way." I heard my body say

I was getting sick and tired of just watching, but when I tried to break out of my chains, they shocked me, and the voltage was enough for me to pass out.

Mary's POV

We were driving all night, and no sign of them. Just as we were going to give up, I saw some kind of glint in the water.

"Guys, I think there's something in the water." I said

"Where?" Grace asked

"Down there. I saw a glint in the bay." I said while pointing to the water

"We don't see anything." Grace said while looking at the place I was pointing to

"I agree with Grace on this one." Yusei said

"I know what I saw. Let's at least take a closer look. Okay?" I asked them

"Alright." Crow said as he drove down to the rocky shore to take a closer look as well as everyone else

"Mary, if you're wrong about this, you're going to wish you never opened your mouth." Jack told me in a threatening tone

"Sssh! Someone's coming!" Grace told us as someone was walking out of the water, dried and off to someplace as Grace and Dawn knew who it was

"Sayer. That means there is something here." Dawn then whispered to us

"Yeah... meaning Sakura and Akiza are there too." Grace whispered

"Looks like we need a passcode to get in though. There should be some kind of keypad nearby." Yusei then said

"Unless…" Grace trailed off as she kicked a box that was near the water and opened the door to the new underwater Arcadia Movement HQ

"That works too." Dawn said

"Wait for me!" A voice exclaimed that only Dawn and the others knew except for me

We then turned to find the source of the voice, since I didn't recognize it, and when I turned to look, I saw a guy with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes while wearing a denim jacket and jeans with brown riding boots and a black T-shirt.

"Matt? What are you doing here?" Crow asked

"I was about to ask the same thing." Yusei said

"I heard Sakura was missing, so I tried finding you guys." Matt said as he caught his breath

"Let me guess, you want to help us?" Grace asked him

Matt then nodded his head as we walked into the Arcadia Movement facility. Good thing we didn't have to go swimming.

"Where would we find Sakura and Akiza in this place since last time we snuck into this place Dawn was to get my brother back and boy, was Sayer's old Arcadia Movement facility big but this one he built takes the cake." Grace said

"Well, if I were Saki, I'd probably be dueling." Crow said while putting his arms behind his head as we kept walking

"That's one…." Grace trailed off as we all were above a dueling arena, looking through a glass window, seeing Sakura and Akiza dueling each other before Grace said:

"Well… we found them but how do we get down to them?"

"Good question." Dawn said

We then saw Sakura pull something out of her pocket, which looked like some kind of Bluetooth headset, but we didn't hear the whole conversation. Whoever she was talking to, she had her business face on.

Sakura's POV

I started waking up again when I heard Sayer's voice.

"Someone has entered the Arcadia Movement base. I want you and Akiza to find them and kill them but if Dawn and Grace is with them, recruit them, any method you two can use is accepted." Sayer told me over the Bluetooth

"Understood. It seems we have a bit of a rat infestation, Akiza." I heard my body tell Akiza after Sayer hung up

"Guess we have to find them." Akiza said

"More like they'll be coming to us." I heard my body say as she pulled some kind of lever

"They won't be able to escape from this place." Akiza said

"Nor will they escape alive." I heard my body tell Akiza

"We have them completely trapped!" Akiza exclaimed

Oh no! Guys! It's a trap! Get out of here!

Dawn's POV

We were having trouble staying on our feet as the whole base was shaking like we were caught in the middle of a tornado! What was going on?!

"Dawn!" Grace exclaimed as she tried to grab my hand

"Hang on!" I exclaimed as I tried to reach out to her

We soon heard a metal door opening below us as we all fell down it as I grabbed Grace's and Mary's hands. We then landed hard on the floor of the Duel Arena we saw earlier, with Matt soon falling next to us, making an Ichigo-style landing. That's painful.

"You okay Matt?" Grace asked him

"Note to self: work a bit more on my flexibility." Matt said in pain

"Glad you four could make it to our party." Akiza said

"Sis…" I said in shock

"Sakura!" exclaimed Matt

"Why are you working for Sayer?!" Grace exclaimed to Sakura and Akiza

"Because..." Akiza trailed off

"He showed us the truth of this world. We can try to hide it all we like, but the reality is, the world sees us as monsters." Sakura then finished

"W-what?!" Grace exclaimed

"That's not true!" I exclaimed

"Then why were you shot with a gun when we were 13, dear sister?" Sakura asked me

"Because, Sayer thought she was you Sakura." Mary said

"Oh, you are wrong about that." A voice said

We then looked around, and saw Sayer walk into the room! At least he did something about his hair. It's hiding that scar that'll make doing a Zuko Costume for Halloween easy for a nutjob like him.

"What do you mean?" Grace asked

"Mary, is it true you were afraid of Sakura and Akiza this own time when you were friends with them or did you actually believe they were your friends?" Sayer asked Mary

"I…. I don't know…." Mary said in hesitation

"See, I only shot you Dawn to make Sakura here to show the whole that we, people of Arcadia movement are monsters and should take revenge on them like they did us." Sayer told us

"Sakura's not a monster. She never was!" exclaimed Matt

"That's something, coming from you." Sakura said while moving some of her hair behind her ear

"We treat people like Sakura and Akiza with respect like we do with other people!" Grace and I exclaimed in unison

"Matt, do you even know what Sakura did when she met Mary after Dawn was killed?" Sayer asked him

"No. Why?" Matt then asked

"Mary's parents hated psychic duelist like Sakura and Akiza here. They drove them away from Mary and after Mary got hurt, Sakura here sealed away her memories of her so she could become the monster Mary's parents saw her as." Sayer told us

"But she never acted that way around me, around any of us!" exclaimed Matt

"Matt, Matt, Matt. You just don't get it, do you? That was all a ruse, a me I created to conceal the monster I embraced. As for my feelings for you? They were nothing but lies." Sakura said with an evil look in her eyes

"Even Akiza agrees with Sakura." Sayer said

"But… the times we spent together, even the times I helped you feel better… that was all…" Matt started

"A ruse, yes. It was true that at times I needed a shoulder to cry on, and that's exactly what you were to me." Sakura said while smiling an evil smile

"And… all the times we spent together at Duel Academy…?" Mary trailed off

"That was real. That was before I became the monster I'm displaying before you." Sakura said in a serious tone

"And let me guess…. if your and Dawn's parents were still around, they would see both of you as a monster, right?" Grace asked

"That's what I believe. They would treat us like how the King and Queen from Frozen treated Elsa, as a helpless little girl who knew nothing of the power inside of her, and was scared to let it out." Sakura then said

"And my feelings for helping the signers… was a lie as well…" Akiza said

"That's not true! None of it is! Whatever Sayer did to you is doing the talking, not you!" I exclaimed

"I haven't done nothing to Akiza here but Sakura on the other hand…. All I did was saying the command of two words and she soon became my general but what you're hearing from their mouths is what they're saying from their hearts and that, I have no control over." Sayer said

I then heard footsteps as I saw Matt running away. I tried to go after him, but the door sealed shut just as he left.

"One less nuisance. Now we can begin." Sakura said while strapping on a Duel Disk

"You three think you can challenge us?" Sayer asked us

"We are and we will get you back!" Grace exclaimed as she strapped on her Duel Disk

"We all will! Mary, you with us?" I asked her

"Do you have to ask?" Mary said as she strapped her Duel Disk on

"Let's Duel!" All six of us exclaimed in unison

(A/N: Detroid: I know this is late in the chapter but this must be said for you to understand how this duel works since we forgot it in the intro but I'll explain it. Since it's a 3 vs 3 duel, everyone will start with 4000 life points as usually but this is where it gets confusing if you don't understand how it will work. See, all of team's life points are combined into one whole life point meter that is shared with the whole team and when one of the teammates lose their 4000 life points, they are eliminated from the duel and the meter goes down so the objective of this is to take down the opponent's life points. Also, the field works the same way as if it was a tag duel, except for the decks and extra decks. Thank you for your time.)

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP

"I'll go first! I draw!" Grace exclaimed

Grace looked like she had some kind of plan. In any case, any plan would work at this point, because if we didn't do anything about how Sayer's controlling Sakura and Akiza, we would be goners.

"For my first trick that's up my sleeve. I activate the field spell, Wind Zone!" Grace exclaimed as the whole field transformed into a wind terrain with powerful winds blowing

"Great! Hope you guys didn't bring your umbrella's, otherwise, you might get frustrated trying to get them back in one piece!" I exclaimed over the wind

"Next, I summon to the field, Jet the Master in attack mode! (ATK: 1700/ DEF: 1900/ LV: 4) And then I equip him with the spell card, Type - J!" Grace exclaimed

"Can you catch the wind?" Jet asked Sayer, Sakura, and Akiza

(Jet's ATK: 1700-3700)

"Next, I end my turn with a face down. Your move Dawn." Grace said

"We will win to have you join us, Grace and Dawn." Akiza said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP

"I'm going to get my real sister back! My draw! And for my first trick, I activate Double Summon! I can summon two monsters this turn, so first, I summon out Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude! (ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1600/ LV: 4) But now I sacrifice Diamond Dude to summon out Destiny Hero - Dasher! (ATK: 2100/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 6) I'm placing two cards face-down to end my turn!" I exclaimed

"So who's next?" Grace asked

"This duel will get dragged out if we can't figure out on who goes next." Mary said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP

"If you won't go, then I will! I draw! I summon out Psychic Snail in attack mode (ATK: 1900/ DEF: 1200/ LV: 4) I'll place two cards face-down to end my turn." said Sayer

"Not even going to attack Sayer?" Grace asked

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP

"He's not but I will! I draw! And I will summon out Chrom - Ylissean Exalt in attack mode! (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1400/ LV: 4)" Sakura exclaimed

"Oh no. She's using that Fire Emblem deck again." I said in worry

"We'll make sure we win against it." Grace said

"Try this. I activate the equip spell card, Falchion and I equip it to Chrom!" Sakura exclaimed

(Chrom's ATK: 1500-3000)

"That's not good…" Mary trailed off

"Ya think?" I asked

"Chrom, attack Destiny Hero - Dasher!" Sakura exclaimed

"Actually, you might want to check your cards, sis. I activate my trap, D - Shield! With it, Destiny Hero Dasher is switched to Defense Mode, and you can't destroy him in battle this turn." I said

"Very clever but I'm not done yet. I activate my spell card, Calling on Plegian's!" Sakura exclaimed

"What does that do?" I wondered

"It allows me to bring out a level 5 or 6 Dark attribute Plegian monster from my deck to the field in attack mode." Sakura explained

"Oh great. Who's next? Aversa? Gangrel? Validar?" I asked

"Meet, Dark Plegian Mage - Tharja (ATK: 2000/ DEF: 1850/ LV: 5/ Dark/ Spellcaster) in attack mode." Sakura said

"Okay, that's a new one. I didn't recruit her. You know which level she's on?" I asked my sister

"Chapter 9: Emmeryn, Dawn." Grace told me

"Argh. Missed her!" I exclaimed

"You had to use Chrom to talk to her before she kills herself if you sent any other people ahead of him." Grace explained

"That explains it. I recruited Libra, but not her. I was kinda surprised when Libra was a boy, ya know?" I asked

"Yeah but now is not the time to talk about the game." Grace said

"Good point." I said

"You'll hate her effect." Sakura said

"Considering I didn't recruit her, this one will be a surprise." I said

"Since she uses dark magic… She takes the attack points of an opponent's monster and uses that to deal damage to them without attacking!" Sakura exclaimed

"Crud." I said

"So I'm dealing you sis, 2100 points of damage." Sakura said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP

"I end my turn with a face down." Sakura said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 4000/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 12000 LP

"My turn! I draw! I summon to the field Chaos End-Master (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 3/ Tuner/ Light/ Warrior) in attack mode!" Mary exclaimed

"Nice card." I said

"Thanks but now I activate the spell card, Double Summon and like Dawn. I'm going to summon Dawn Knight (ATK: 1400/ DEF: 1200/ LV: 4) in attack mode!" Mary exclaimed

"Nice!" Grace and I exclaimed in unison

"Now then, I activate the spell card, One for One!" Mary exclaimed

What will she bring out? I hope it'll be something that can work.

"I send from my hand Desrock Archfiend to bring out Fabled Lurrie (ATK: 200/ DEF: 400/ LV: 1) in defense mode." Mary said

Okay, whatever strategy she has, I'm not seeing it.

"I tune my level 3 Chaos End-Master with my Dawn Knight and Fabled Lurrie to synchro summon a monster to end this duel! From Land and Sea to Light and Darkness, your light will shine in the night. End the darkness with your might! Synchro Summon! Light End Dragon! (ATK: 2600/ DEF: 2100/ Dragon/ Synchro/ LV: 8) In attack mode!" Mary chanted

"Whoa! That's Light End Dragon?! It's as amazing as it sounds." I said in shock

"I agree with you on that Dawn." Grace said in agreement and shock

"But now… my monster is going to attack you, Sayer but before I do, it's effect activates!" Mary exclaimed

"Its what?!" exclaimed Sayer

"See, I can activate it's effect during any of our turns and by decreasing Light End Dragon's attack points by 500, I can decrease your monster's attack points by 1500!" Mary exclaimed

"What?!" exclaimed Sayer

(Psychic Snail ATK: 400) (Light End Dragon ATK: 2100)

"Light End Dragon, attack Psychic Snail with Light Burst Destruction!" Mary exclaimed

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 1300/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 10300 LP

"I end my turn." Mary said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 1300/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 10300 LP

"I guess it's my turn. I draw! I summon Twilight Rose Knight in attack mode! (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000) Now, his special ability activates! Because he was successfully summoned, I can special summon Lord Poison! (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1000) Now I'll tune my level 3 Twilight Rose Knight with my level 4 Lord Poison, in order to Synchro Summon, Black Rose Dragon! Chilling flames engulf the entire world! Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Synchro Summon! Appear now, Black Rose Dragon! (ATK: 2400/ DEF: 1800/ LV: 7). Now, I remove from play my Lord Poison in order to switch your Dasher into Attack Mode, Dawn, and there's more. Dasher loses all of its attack points! (Destiny Hero Dasher ATK: 0) Black Rose Dragon, attack!" exclaimed Akiza

"I activate my facedown card! Wind Swap! Now, you have to attack Jet instead and now Wind Zone kicks in!" Grace exclaimed

"Oh yeah! I love this effect!" exclaimed Jet

"See Akiza, if you attack a wind monster of mine while Wind Zone is in play then all of your attacks on all of my wind monsters are negated." Grace explained

"How do you like that you overgrown flower?" asked Jet

"So I just negated your little plan." Grace said while smirking

"I'll get you somehow. I end my turn with a face-down." said Akiza

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 1300/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 10300 LP

"Guess I'm up! I draw! I activate Wind Zone's secondary effect." Grace said

"It has another effect?!" Sakura exclaimed angrily

"Once per turn, I can special summon a wind monster from my deck instead of drawing but there's a price. I can't draw on my next turn which is a small price to pay to bring out Jet's Rival - Sonic! (LV: 5/ ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1900/ Wind/ Warrior) In attack mode!" Grace exclaimed

"Great, just great." Jet groaned

"Do you want me to use you in a synchro summon." Grace asked Jet

"Did you miss me Jet?" Sonic asked him

"As if!" exclaimed Jet

"Now then, I activate the equip spell card, Blue Star II from my hand and equip it to Sonic." Grace said

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" exclaimed Sonic

"I end my turn with a facedown." Grace said

(Sonic's ATK: 2500-3000)

"Let's get Akiza and your sister back Dawn. It's your turn!" Mary exclaimed

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 1300/ Sakura LP 4000/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 10300 LP

"Right! Sakura, I know you're still in there. I know you're fighting whatever Sayer did to you. You were always the one saving me when I was in trouble. Now, it's my turn to save you. Heart of the cards, please, help us win this duel, and get my sister back! I draw!" I exclaimed

I held the card up to my face while closing my eyes, and when I opened my eyes, I saw just the monster we needed!

"Dawn, did you get something good?" Grace asked me

"You bet I did! You guys are in serious trouble now. First, I'm activating my Card of Sanctity spell card! Because I'm feeling generous, we all can draw until we have six cards in our hands! Next, I summon D3 in attack mode! (ATK: 0/ DEF: 0/ LV: 1) Now, I can discard up to two D3's from my hand in order to activate its effect. So, I discard two D3's, so my D3 on the field is treated as three tribute monsters for one Destiny Hero! So I send D3 to my graveyard to summon Destiny Hero - Plasma! (ATK: 1900/ DEF: 600/ LV: 8) Alright Plasma, do your thing! Take Akiza's Black Rose Dragon!" I exclaimed

"Nice job!" Mary exclaimed

"What did you do?!" exclaimed Akiza

"It's Plasma's Special Ability. He can take one monster on your field, and use it as an equip card, and as an added bonus, he gains half of its attack points. (ATK: 3100) And there's more! I activate the spell card, D-Force! With this spell, I can place it at the top of my deck, but now that it is, Plasma is immune to Spells and Traps and all of your effect monsters have their abilities negated!" I exclaimed

"No!" Sakura exclaimed

"Plasma, attack Tharja with Plasma Roar!" I exclaimed

"You activated Tharja's secondary effect!" Sakura exclaimed

"Get real, sis. All effects are negated, not just one or two." I said

"This was can only be activated when you negate effects with a spell card!" Sakura exclaimed

"Technically, the spell isn't on the field, so you can't do anything about it!" I exclaimed

"Crud…" Sakura trailed off

"What? Did you forget that dad had to fight against this combo once? Or were you too busy sleeping when he told us that story?!" I exclaimed

"Don't you mean my mother as well, Dawn?" Grace asked me

"She did?" I asked her

"Yeah because she did teach at Duel Academy where your father went to." Grace said

"Nice. In any case, what were you going to say about Tharja, sis? Or were you jumping over a cliff before you realized it was a cliff?" I asked her

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 1300/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9200 LP

"At least I didn't want a lame sister like you!" Sakura exclaimed

"You've been watching Once Upon a Time again, haven't you? The latest episode was about what you're doing." I said while deadpanning

"Sorry but I don't know what that show is. I'm just saying from my heart lamey." Sakura said

"Don't you mean Samey, Samey?" I said while taunting her

"No, you're the samey one, Lamie." Sakura said

"Whatever. My point still stands. You've been watching too many cartoons. I'll end my turn with another face down." I said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sayer LP 1300/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9200 LP

"My turn. I activate the Spell, Teleport! Because you control a monster and I don't, I can special summon a monster by paying 800 life points, so I special summon to the field my Storm Caller! (ATK: 2300/ DEF: 2000/ LV: 6) And now, I summon to the field my Krebons in attack mode! (ATK: 1200/ DEF: 400/ LV: 2) Now I tune my Krebons and my Storm Caller in order to Synchro Summon my Thought Ruler Archfiend! Surge, my black mist of vengeance! Synchro Summon! Come, Thought Ruler Archfiend! (ATK: 2700/ DEF: 2300/ LV: 8) Thought Ruler Archfiend, attack Light End Dragon!" exclaimed Sayer

"Light End Dragon!" Mary exclaimed

"No you don't Sayer! I activate my traps, Metalmorph and Synchro Strike! I equip Metalmorph to Light End Dragon, so not only does it gain 300 attack points, but your Thought Ruler Archfiend bites the dust thanks to Synchro Strike, since three monsters were used to Synchro Summon it, Light End Dragon gains 1500 attack points! (Light End Dragon ATK: 3900)" I exclaimed

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 6900 LP

"Thanks Dawn." Mary said

"No prob." I said

"You pests!" exclaimed Sayer

"Technically, you're the pain in our rear end." I said

"Yeah." Mary and Grace said in unison

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 6900 LP

"I draw! I activate the spell card, Heavy Storm!" Sakura exclaimed

"Oh boy. We can say goodbye to our cards." I said in worry

"Every spell and trap card does bite the dust but not my field spell card." Grace said

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked

"Since it's a powerful wind field spell card, it can only be destroyed by monster effect." Grace explained

"Great. There goes that idea." Sakura said while face-palming

"And thanks for destroying my dragon, Sakura! Did you forget that it was equipped onto that Plasma monster?!" Akiza exclaimed angrily

"Hey! I was trying to destroy their field spell! Maybe you should've activated your lizard's effect!" Sakura exclaimed back angrily

"Well maybe I was trying to destroy Dawn's Dasher at the time and not play a stupid move like you did!" exclaimed Akiza

"Stupid?! Why I oughta…!" Sakura exclaimed angrily as she looked like she was going to punch Akiza

"Ladies, enough. There's a time and place for your bickering, and now isn't it. Understood?" Sayer asked them sternly

"Yes, Sayer." Akiza and Sakura said in unison

"But still, it's your turn." Grace said

"I'll switch Chrom into defense mode and end my turn." Sakura said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 6900 LP

"I draw! I activate another Double Summon spell card!" Mary exclaimed

"Another one?" Sakura asked in an annoyed tone

"I bring out Ally of Justice Cycle Reader in defense mode.(ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 3) Thanks to Double Summon, I can also bring out Ape Fighter in attack mode (ATK: 1900/ DEF: 1200/ LV: 4) Now, watch as I tune them together to create the other half of Light that creates peace in people! I tune my level 3 Cycle Reader with my Ape Fighter to synchro summon a powerful dark monster! Holy life and regal birth fly across this darkened land! Spread your wings and learn to fly! Synchro Summon! Divine life, Ancient Pixie Dragon! (ATK: 2100/ DEF: 3000/ LV: 7/ Dark) In defense mode!" Mary chanted

That's a Dark Monster? But that card looks exactly like Ancient Fairy Dragon. Luna's card. What could this mean? Does this mean there are counterparts to the Signer Dragons out there? Or does this mean something else completely?

"I activate Ancient Pixie Dragon's effect!" Mary exclaimed

"Oh what now?!" Sakura exclaimed

"Since Grace activated a field spell at the beginning of this duel, which by the way, thanks Grace." Mary said

"No problem." Grace told Mary

"That allows Ancient Pixie Dragon to destroy one card on the field!" Mary finished explaining

"What?!" Sakura exclaimed in shock

"So, I destroy your monster, Sakura!" Mary exclaimed

"Chrom!" Sakura exclaimed

"And thanks to Plasma still, his effect is sent down to the scrap heap." I said

"From my hand, I activate Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two new cards." Mary said

Let's hope they're something good.

"I activate my first Monster Reborn from my hand!" Mary exclaimed

"Nice!" I exclaimed

"And the card I'm bringing back is your Black Rose Dragon, Akiza!" Mary exclaimed

"What?!" Akiza exclaimed angrily

"You heard me!" Mary exclaimed

And just like that, Black Rose Dragon appeared on Mary's field, and boy Akiza did not look happy.

"I end my turn with two facedowns." Mary said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 6900 LP

"My turn! I summon my Violet Witch! (ATK: 1100/ DEF: 1200/ LV: 4) I'll end my turn with a face-down." said Akiza

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 4000/ Combined Meter 6900 LP

"My draw! I end my turn with a facedown." Grace said

"My turn! And thanks to D-Force, I can't draw any cards. And now, I'll absorb your Violet Witch with my Plasma, Akiza! (Destiny Hero Plasma ATK: 2450) Plasma, attack her directly!" I exclaimed

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"I'll end my turn with a face-down." I said

Grace LP 4000/ Dawn LP 1900/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Meter 9900 LP (Grace, Mary and Dawn)/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"My draw! I activate the spell card, Spellbook Inside the Pot! Now we all draw three cards from our decks!" Sakura exclaimed

"Then that means…" I started

"Plasma is no longer immune to Spells and Traps, meaning, I can do this. I activate the spell card, Dark Hole from my hand!" Sakura exclaimed

"Then that means…" I started

"That's right, your Plasma is destroyed!" Sakura exclaimed as Dark Hole destroyed every monster except for those on Grace's field

As our monsters were destroyed, Plasma's destruction flew over to my end, but it hurt more than it should've. It was like it sliced off a few places of my skin! Next thing I knew, I was swept off my feet, and then it was all black.

Grace's POV

It all happened so fast, that none of us could react after seeing Dawn not only crashing into the wall, but she was bleeding on her forehead, her left eye, and her right cheek.

"Dawn!" I exclaimed seeing Dawn get hurt

"Serves her right. She always was the weak one." said Sakura

"S… She was your sister! The Sakura I know would have never done that to her own sister!" I exclaimed angrily

"I already told you, that Sakura was a fake." Sakura said smugly

"No she wasn't! This Sakura is the fake one!" I exclaimed angrily even more as my psychic powers was getting out of control since I was so pissed off

"It doesn't matter what you believe, Grace. The facts are facts. This is who I really am." Sakura then said

"I will show you that you are wrong!" I yelled

"I end my turn with a facedown." Sakura said

Grace LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Life Meter 8000 LP/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"I draw! I activate my second Monster Reborn from my hand!" Mary exclaimed

"Really? Another one?" Sakura asked annoyed

"I bring back my Light End Dragon!" Mary exclaimed

"Good luck. That lizard isn't going to save you." said Sakura

"I activate from my hand Swords of Revealing Light!" Mary exclaimed

Swords then started to rain down and Sakura's and Akiza's side of the field. Even if Sakura did summon Grima, she won't be able to attack, for now.

"I end my turn with a facedown." Mary said

Grace LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Life Meter 8000 LP/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"I'm up! Ugh… I end my turn!" exclaimed Akiza

Grace LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Life Meter 8000 LP/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"My go! I end my turn with two facedowns." I said, hoping I could get the card I needed

Grace LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Life Meter 8000 LP/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"I'm up! And I summon out Kellam - Ylissean Shepard. (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1300/ LV: 4) I end my turn." Sakura said

Grace LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Life Meter 8000 LP/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"Guess I'm up! I draw! I end my turn by laying a facedown." Mary said, knowing she had the face down, Mirror Force

Grace LP 4000/ Mary LP 4000/ Combined Life Meter 8000 LP/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 450 LP

"My move then. I draw! I summon Witch of the Black Rose in attack mode! (ATK: 1700/ DEF: 1200/ LV: 4) And now, I'll activate its special ability. Since I control no other monsters, I can draw a card, and if it's a monster, Witch of the Black Rose sticks around. Yes. And because the card I drew was Rose Fairy, I can special summon it. (ATK: 600/ DEF: 1200/ LV: 3) Now, I activate the spell, Shining Rebirth! With this card, I can Synchro Summon a monster in my graveyard." said Akiza

"Oh no…." Mary trailed off

"That means…" I finished Mary's statement

"Yes. It means my Black Rose Dragon returns! Now, my Black Rose Dragon can destroy every card on the field, and the best part? It's not destroyed this turn by its own effect!" exclaimed Akiza

"And since that's a monster effect….. You just destroyed my field spell card!" I exclaimed in panic and shock

"That's the least of your problems. Black Rose Dragon, attack Mary directly and show her what happens when you wrongfully control someone else's dragon!" exclaimed Akiza

"Mary!" I exclaimed

Grace LP 4000/ Mary LP 1600/ Combined Life Meter 6600 LP/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

Like what happened with Dawn, Mary was knocked out cold! How could this have happened? Why did I let it happen?

"I end my turn." Akiza said

Grace LP 4000/ Sakura LP 2900/ Akiza LP 1550/ Combined Meter 4450 LP

"Y-You guys will pay!" I exclaimed angrily as my back glowed with all of the signer marks making the crimson dragon appear on my back before I shouted:

"Deck, please, help me bring back Akiza and Sakura…. I draw!"

I then saw a card I only heard about from mom, but I didn't put it in my deck! It's like… it appeared when I needed it the most.

"I activate Fang of Critias!" I exclaimed

"What?! You don't have that card in your deck!" exclaimed Sakura

"But I do now since the Crimson Dragon saw that I needed help and allowed me to draw this card but to make it more harder, I fuse it with a card from my hand! Magic Cylinder! To Fusion Summon Cylinder Dragon! (ATK: 3000/ DEF: 3000/ LV: 10)" I exclaimed

"So what? I see an overgrown lizard that can't even touch us." said Sakura

"I didn't tell you about it's effect yet." I told them

"Then what is it?" Sakura asked me

"I can take the attack points of your monsters and deal you guys damage to them before I even attack!" I exclaimed

"What?!" exclaimed Sakura

"Then that means…" Akiza trailed off

"That's right! Akiza, you are out of the game!" I exclaimed

"You still won't be able to defeat me!" exclaimed Sakura

Grace LP 4000/ Sakura LP 2050

"Yes I will. Cylinder Dragon, attack Sakura directly and end this duel with Magical Fire!" I exclaimed

"No! This can't be happening!" Sakura exclaimed fearfully before she screamed in pain from the attack

Grace LP 4000/ Sakura LP 0

Sakura's POV

I saw that my body just dropped to her knees in defeat from Grace's attack. Just as it did, my chains became all rusty and weak. Weak enough for me to pull on them hard enough for them to break, and allowing me to land on my feet. Now where's that Fell Dragon? I got a bone the size of a Lucario's Bone Rush to pick with him!

"Just like I predicted, you will no longer have a boyfriend after twenty-four hours." Grima said

"Got something else to say? Because I've got something to say to you. You took advantage of my weakness, and took advantage of the fact that Sayer was controlling me to get what you wanted. Well guess what, you're officially out of here!" I exclaimed as I punched Grima with my right fist

"I didn't take advantage of your body at all. I was only having your body do what Sayer wanted. When I made you my host… I looked into your heart and found out about all of what you just said to Matt, Grace, Mary and Dawn so, that was your fault right there for keeping that information in your heart besides… your new boyfriend will come by your penthouse in eight hours. See ya!" Grima said

"You're not going anywhere!" I exclaimed as I punched him again

Except it was too late, he left, but I did manage to get a sharp rock into his head. That's gonna sting for, I don't know, another 1000 years! See ya later lizard breath! I got a boyfriend to apologize to.

Sayer's POV

I was running as fast as I could to get out of my own facility. Why? It was so perfect! How could one card change everything?! Just as I was about to reach the exit the door slammed shut on me! What?!

"Computer, override lock. Codeword: Arcadia." I said

"Access Denied. Invalid codeword." said the computer system

"Who could have done this!?" I exclaimed

"You need to update your security system, Sayer. It was child's play to get into it." A female voice rang around me

"Who's there!" I exclaimed

A woman dressed in a white dress with a strange necklace and a white hood suddenly appeared behind me. The hood was so low, I couldn't tell who it was, but all I saw was pitch-black hair and a strange Duel Disk on her arm.

"Who are you?" I asked this woman

"Someone you shouldn't have messed with. It took me forever to make Sakura linked to the Orichalcos, and thanks to you, my plans have been ruined. And you do not want to know what I do to the people who wrong me." The woman said to me

"That voice…. Sakura…." I said as I backed away

"Correct, I am Sakura Phoenix, but I am not the one you know." Sakura said as she unhooded herself

The woman who claimed to be Sakura unveiled herself looked exactly like her, but older, her hair was pitch-black, and one of her eyes was a teal-green in color.

"What happened to you?" I asked her

"What happened is that I got mad at your interference, Sayer. I traveled back to this time period so I could help this Sakura accept who she is, as I have embraced it, and all you've done is further prolong her destiny." Sakura told me

"Okay, not to get off topic on this but you sound exactly like Grima from Awakening." I said

"You could call this scenario similar to that, difference being, that old lizard is sealed away in my timeline. But enough chit-chat. I'm here, for a duel!" Sakura exclaimed as she activated her Duel Disk

"Not in the mood for another one! Not since the timeline that you're from has been changed a bit and not only from me but from Grace Baxter." I told her

She then threw something which grappled onto my Duel Disk! A Duel Anchor?!

"You don't have a choice, Sayer. Either you duel, or your disk gets fried. Your call." Sakura said

"What if I told you… Grace Baxter has a card that might stop what you call, Orichalcos." I told her

"I already know, and it's thanks to that, she's become my target along with my ex-boyfriend. I'm here to revive the Great Leviathan, so my future never happens, and this timeline will either serve him, or have his soul taken from him. You don't have a choice Sayer. You have to duel me." Sakura said to me

As I looked her in the eye, I felt like she was right. I didn't have a choice.

"Before we duel, tell me this. Why do you want to make sure your future to never happen when you want this present day Sakura linked to the Orichalcos? It'll cause your future to happen the same way even if I didn't interfere." I asked her

"Because my personal timeline has already been changed by those Yliaster pests." Sakura said while glaring at me

"How did they change your personal timeline?" I asked her as I activated my duel disk

"Enough chit-chat. Let's Duel!" exclaimed Sakura

Sakura LP 4000/ Sayer LP 4000

"From my hand, I activate The Seal of the Orichalcos! Now with this Sacred Seal descending onto the field, your fate has already been sealed. Now, I pay 500 of my life points to special summon Orichalcos Kyutora. (ATK: 500 - 1000/ DEF: 500/ LV: 3)" said Sakura

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 4000

"Now, I summon my Orichalcos Gigas in Attack Mode! (ATK: 400 - 900/ DEF: 1500/ LV: 4) With that, I shall end my turn, Sayer." Sakura then said

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 4000

"It's my turn! I draw! I summon Telekinetic Shocker! (ATK: 1700/ DEF: 700/ LV: 4) Shocker, attack her Gigas! How do you like that?" I asked
"Not impressed. I can now Special Summon back from my graveyard Orichalcos Gigas (ATK: 1400) and as an added bonus, the battle damage you tried to deal to me is negated thanks to my Orichalcos Kyutora." said Sakura

"I end my turn with a facedown." I said

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 4000

"My turn. And I summon Orichalcos Malevolence! (ATK: 1500 - 2000/ DEF: 1000/ LV: 4) You were no match for me in the first place, Sayer. Orichalcos Gigas, attack his Telekinetic Shocker! And since I don't take battle damage, Gigas comes back stronger than ever (ATK: 1900) Now, attack his shocker once more!" exclaimed Sakura

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 3800

"Malevolence, show him the pain of this world and attack him directly!" exclaimed Sakura

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 1800

"I end my turn. Make your last move worth my time." said Sakura

"I will! I draw! But I want you to know something that you didn't notice." I said

"You being a carbon copy of Sayer?" Sakura asked me in a bored tone

"Maybe but I summon Psychic Commander in defense mode! (ATK: 1400/ DEF: 800/ LV: 3)" I exclaimed

"Do you end your turn?" Sakura asked me

"With this face down, yes." I said

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 1800

"You should've worked more on your defense, Sayer, because now I activate Orichalcos Malevolence's Ability! Once per turn Malevolence can switch a defense position monster into attack mode, and your commander fits the job description. Any last words before I seal away the memories of me?" Sakura asked me

"It's not my fault that I interfered in your plans! I only wanted revenge against Sakura, well, this present Sakura. I didn't mean for it to change what you had in plan." I said

"You always make some kind of excuse, just to try and save your own skin, Sayer. Once you lose, so will your memories of me. They'll be lost forever along with your powers." Sakura said to me

"I'm not making an excuse this time! I swear it!" I exclaimed while showing her that I had no excuse or nothing to get out of this

"Save your breath! I don't care if you have an excuse or not. The fact is, you wronged me and ruined my plans, and you will pay! Orichalcos Gigas, attack Psychic Commander!" Sakura exclaimed

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 1300

"What if I get it back on track, I swear!" I said

"Are you saying you want to join the Orichalcos?" Sakura asked me

"If it means that I can also have my revenge on this timeline Sakura, then yes." I said

"Nice try, Sayer. I know you're a fake. I've met you in my timeline as well. You once tried to kill me. You missed my arteries, but you left one heck of scar near my heart. Don't worry, I'm not going to take your soul. I'm just taking your psychic powers. Let's see how powerless you can really be without them. Orichalcos Malevolence, attack him directly and take his powers forever!" exclaimed Sakura

Sakura LP 3500/ Sayer LP 0

The Seal of Orichalcos surrounded me, and I thought I was a goner. I felt an extreme pain as it tried stealing my soul, but when it was over, I was catching my breath. I was still here? But why? And where did that stone Sakura was holding come from?

"It's beautiful. The source of your darkness was your powers this whole time. Never have I seen an Orichalcos stone so pure." Sakura said while looking at the stone she was holding

"Give it back!" I exclaimed

"So you can try to kill me? I don't think so. But I can offer you a deal, if you're truly sincere, dearie." Sakura told me

"Please, I had enough having to deal with this present Sakura and Dawn doing an Once Upon a Time reference. I don't need you starting in as well." I said while sweat-dropping

"What's Once Upon a Time?" Sakura asked me with a confused look on her face

"That's another line I had to deal with as well in a duel with Grace having Fang of Critias which I never heard of at all!" I exclaimed

"So those dragons found their new warriors. Pitiful that it only means that their souls will be food for the Great Leviathan." Sakura said while closing her eyes

"But in seriousness, I am being truly sincere but I think you're off by one card since…. only two people have one of the three dragons you're talking about." I said
"The Eye of Timeaus… it's currently being held by me, in this timeline. The Fang of Critias… it has now chosen Grace Baxter as his chosen warrior. The Claw of Hermos, it belongs to Matthew Yuki, at least for now. I have my eyes when I'm praying to the Great Leviathan, Sayer. Don't think I'm stupid." Sakura said while glaring at me

"A...actually… Grace did mention something about her mother having Fang of Critias when she was still alive when she met Yugi Moto…" I said

"Whom fought my predecessor, Dartz. It's like I said, I'll be taking your powers, Sayer." Sakura said as she pocketed the Orichalcos Stone that was created from my psychic powers

"Please... give me my powers back… I'll do anything for them." I said while begging

"Anything?" Sakura asked me

"Anything!" I said in desperation

Sakura then pulled out a bracelet that looked like it was lined with emeralds, her birthstone.

"You do not want to know how long it took me to craft this bracelet. One of these stones is an Orichalcos Stone. I want you to find a way to give it to Sakura without her knowing it was you." Sakura told me as she showed me the bracelet

"Okay." I said

"In addition, if you are successful in fooling her, I'll return your powers." Sakura said while still holding the Orichalcos Stone

"You got a deal!" I said

"Just one request. I want you to keep my identity a secret." Sakura said while glaring at me

"Nobody would believe me anyway even if I did say it." I told her

"Then you'll be lucky." Sakura said while giving me the bracelet

"I won't let you down." I said

Sakura's POV (A/N: If we specify otherwise, this is going to be the Sakura we all know and love, and not the psychopath Sakura we just saw)

I was no longer chained, and I felt control over my body. I was free.

"Dawn, wake up! Wake up!" a voice was saying to Dawn

That voice…

"Dawn, don't you dare die on me, your sister again, or your friends." the same voice said to Dawn

Was that… Grace?

"Dawn! Wake up! For me!" Grace exclaimed as she was shaking Dawn to wake her up

"Ow. You can wake the dead. You know that, right?" Dawn asked me

"Sorry… You had me worried for a minute there." Grace said

"You're forgiven." Dawn then said

"At least you're awake." Grace said as she hugged Dawn

"Hey! What am I then?" I asked playfully as I rubbed my head, and then checked to see if the Heart of Grima was gone, which it was

"Get ready Dawn. This might be that fake we dueled." Grace said as she got into a fighting stance

"If I were a fake, why would I be ready to hug my friend and my sister?" I asked

"Because…. well…. ya know…" Grace said as she hugged me before I hugged her back before I said:

"I'm glad to be back. For real this time."

"Guess you heard everything….." Grace said while trailing off

"Yeah. I saw everything too." I said while looking down

"Hey, we'll get Matt back for you if we can convince…. Wait? Where's Sayer?" Grace asked while looking around for him

"Ugh… my head…" Akiza said as she was waking up

"Akiza!" Dawn exclaimed

"W-where am I? Last thing I remember…. was believing everything Sakura said then…. blank." Akiza said

"It's my fault… my fake self told you all those lies just to get you over to Sayer's side…" I said while trying not to cry

"Sakura, look me in the eye. I know by looking into your eyes that it's not your fault. It was in your heart to hide all of those since it was the truth but you don't have to hide it anymore. Not around us, you're friends and more importantly, around your own sister." Grace told me while holding my chin

"You guys don't get it… half of that stuff was a lie." I said

"Still, you don't have to hide it from us." Grace said

"Tell that to Matt… he probably hates me now." I said sadly

"Unless we get Sayer to admit to doing everything." Grace told me

"That's like pulling teeth." I said

"Hey, you're the queen of torturing someone." Grace said

"It's because she's a psychopath." Dawn said

"I'm not a psychopath! Well, maybe a little. My psychiatric report did say I have psychopathic tendencies." I said

"It's time I told you why I have Fang of Critias…." Grace sadly said while holding the card in her hand

"How did it get from my deck into yours?" Dawn asked Grace

"Actually… it wasn't yours to begin with Dawn." Grace said

"Can you explain?" I asked

"See…. Not only was Slifer that my mother had to protect but also Fang of Critias…. since Yugi gave my mother it but it was a blank card at the time when the Orichalcos was first defeated before the blank card was stolen from my mother but I'll just explain it to you guys later." Grace said

"Man. That must've sucked to lose both." I said

"Yeah but let's talk about this later." Grace said told us

"But why? Why would dad do that?" I wondered

"Let's get back to stopping Sayer." Grace said in a bit of an annoyed tone

"Uh, right." I said in a slight panic

"Hopefully, I can get the card that was stolen back." Grace said before she started walking away

Wait, where was she going? She couldn't feel that bad about the duel, could she?

"Grace, wait. Please." I said

"I'm going to find Matt…" Grace trailed off as she left to go find Matt

"Grace, let me do it. He may listen to me." I said as I stood up

"No… he may not, please, let me try." Grace said

"Fine." I said in defeat

"Ugh… My head… Feels like I've been shot by a wind bullet…" Mary trailed off as she woke up, finally

"Mary!" I exclaimed

"S-Sakura? W-what happened? Last thing I remember was getting blown away then blank." Mary said

"Uh…" I said while hesitant to say what had happened

"But… where am I? And…. do I know you?" Mary said as she pointed to Akiza and Dawn

Okay, she remembers me but not them? Oh boy.

"Guess your Psychic Powers, Akiza did a number on her memories, in a way." Grace said while sweat dropping

"Akiza…." Mary said while having a confused look

"Uh, we may have to take you to a doctor." I said while sweat-dropping

"Or try to find some way for her to remember those two." Grace said while pointing to Dawn and Akiza

"True." I said

"Hey!" Akiza and Dawn exclaimed in unison

"Let's talk to Matt together, Sakura." Grace said

"Yeah, but it may not work." I said sadly

"Don't make me!" Grace exclaimed while holding the Past Image trap card

"Yikes!" I exclaimed as I hid behind Dawn

"Do you want me to seal your memories of Matt instead?" Grace asked me

I just gulped before I shook my head no, kinda like how Fennekin did when Serena asked it, Dedenne, Chespin, and Froakie if they ate all of the Pokepuffs, or was it Pikachu instead of Froakie? Or was it Bunnelby instead of Pikachu?

"Anyway… we better get out of here." Grace said

"Wait, what about Sayer? He's still somewhere here, right?" I asked

"That's true…. but we have to find the others as well." Akiza pointed out

And right on cue, we heard their screaming as they landed in the middle of the duel arena! Guess Grace, Mary, and my sister took the shortcut.

"You guys ok?" Akiza asked as she walked towards Yusei, Jack, Bruno, Crow and Mel

"I'll be better once Jack gets off." Crow said as he pushed Jack off his back

"What about you Yusei?" Akiza asked as she helped him up

"I'm fine. What about you?" Yusei asked

"Had quite the punch to our faces, figuratively speaking, but in all seriousness, we had some sense knocked into us." I said

"After you and Akiza knocked some sense into Dawn and Mary with your psychic powers." Grace said in a playful tone

"Very funny." I said in a sarcastic tone

"That's it… I'm sealing your memories of Matt away right now." Grace said

"I can't be sarcastic anymore?!" I exclaimed

"You can, Saki." Grace said

"I have enough with Crow calling me that! Don't you start now!" I exclaimed

Everyone was just laughing at me, like how Chespin was in the Meowistic episode! Hate to say it, but now I know how it felt!

Third Person POV

Sakura, the psychopath, arrived back in Atlantis, otherwise known as the home of the Orichalcos when she flipped a switch behind the three-headed snake statue, which turned to reveal a secret room, which looked like there was already an occupant in the room.

"Did you bring me… the stone…" a voice said

"Right here. That stupid idiot thinks he has the real one. I told him that in order to have his powers back, he had to crush it during a new moon. Thankfully, the last one was yesterday." Sakura's future self said as she sat down on the bed, next to the source of the voice, whom was hidden in the shadows

"With his powers, I can take my revenge on him in person for what he did to me all those years ago." the voice said while holding the stone

"Now that's what I like to hear. Let's get some rest. We'll both need it for your revenge." Sakura said as she lied down on the bed next to the source of the voice

"Yeah and next time I see him in person, I'll be taking his soul myself." the voice said, laying down next to Sakura

Sakura smiled as she closed her eyes and drifted off into a peaceful sleep, while we have no idea who this guy or girl is!

Sakura's POV

It wasn't easy, but we managed to tie up Sayer in a chair after tracking him down. To be honest, I'm gonna love the next part. Torturing him.

"Dawn, hold still, this might hurt a bit." Grace said while in the kitchen with Dawn, trying to take care of the bleeding on her face

"I'm more worried about what Sayer has planned. When we found him, he didn't even try to use his powers." Dawn said from the kitchen as he was struggling in the ropes

"I don't know but at least we can have him confess that he was controlling Sakura and Akiza so we can play it for Matt." Grace said as she stopped the bleeding on Dawn's forehead and right cheek before saying:

"The bleeding from your left eye Dawn… I can't heal at all..."

"I guess I need a hospital then." Dawn said grimly

"Unless…. Crow, in the back of my duel runner, there is a safe, can you bring it in. Maybe I have a card in there that might heal Dawn's left eye." Grace told Crow

"Alright, I'm going!" Crow exclaimed as he ran out

"Yusei, could you…." Grace trailed off, hoping Yusei knew what she was meaning

"I'll go do it." Akiza said

"Thanks Akiza." Grace said

"I'll come with you." said Yusei

"Thanks Yusei." Akiza said

"So Sakura, how will we get Sayer to confess about controlling you and Akiza?" Grace asked

"That's the easy part. I let my inner psychopath out, and torture him." I said with a Cheshire Cat-like grin on my face

"Okay but don't let it take you completely over…" Grace trailed off in a playful tone

"I'll be worried if it does. Her psychiatric report did say she is a psychopath." Dawn then said

"I am not! I just… have psychopathic tendencies…" I said while trailing off and looking away

"You don't have to hide it from us." Grace said while holding up the Past Image trap card

"I'm not hiding it. I'm regretfully admitting the truth." I said

"No wonder she looks happy when she's finished beating Jack up." Crow said as he came into the room with the safe

"Thanks Crow." Grace said

"And do I really smile when I'm done beating him up?" I asked him

"Yeah, you do." Akiza said as she and Yusei walked into the room

"Oh come on! Not you too!" I exclaimed

Grace then looked at the safe and put into a 4 digit code before having her left eye above the number lock for it to scan her eye. Man, that's one tight safe, even for me and Dawn.

"So… Grace, what are you doing by… ya know?" Akiza asked

"This is the only way people can get into my safe is by using my eye DNA and knowing the 4 digit number to even open it." Grace said, still having her left eye, looking at the eye scanner

"I think you mean your retinal scan." I said while sweat-dropping

"You know what I mean but point is, nobody but me can open this safe… except for my brother once and failed." Grace said

"Ouch." Dawn and I said in unison

"Yeah…" Grace said as the safe opened and revealed spell and trap cards in case of emergencies, which was kinda like what I did

"So… what card are you looking for?" Akiza asked Grace

"It's called The Golden Apples trap card. My mother had it in her deck when she helped Yugi duel against Dartz in her days. I kept it in this safe in case I needed it's powers to heal someone via psychic powers." Grace explained as she was looking for it

"Like the one that just fell out of the safe?" I asked

"Hmm?" Grace asked before seeing it on the ground before saying:

"That's the one!"

"Good thing I have a good eye. Now… where was I?" I wondered

"Golden Apples… Hear my plead. Help me heal Dawn's left eye with your golden goodness!" Grace exclaimed as the card activated

And right there, a golden apple appeared. Now I'm thinking of the Greek Myth with the Golden Apples, which is sad.

"Dawn, eat this apple and you're left eye will be healed." Grace said

"That or I fall in love with you." Dawn said jokingly

"That too but just eat it." Grace said while handing Dawn the Apple

Dawn then took a bite out of the apple, and once she finished eating it, the blood flowing around her eye stopped.

"You're left eye stopped bleeding." Akiza and Grace said in unison

"It has?" Dawn wondered

"Here." Grace said as she held up a mirror

"Whoa. You weren't kidding about this trap card." Dawn said as she saw her reflection before she tried opening her eye

"Your left eye is working again." Grace said while smiling

"I'm glad. Now you can use both of them to watch me teach the nubjob a lesson. Uh, I sounded like a bad guy, didn't I?" I asked Dawn

"More like Rumpleskin from Once Upon a Time." Dawn told me

"Great." I said sarcastically

"Yeah or Ingrid to be more accurate." Grace said

"Who's Ingrid?" I asked

"Ingrid aka Snow Queen." Grace said

"What? Is she Elsa's long lost aunt or something?" I asked jokingly

"You got it correct. She is Elsa's long lost aunt." Grace said

"What's next? Hans taking the throne of Arendelle?" I asked sarcastically

"Correct, again." Grace and Dawn said in unison

"Ugh, just end the spoilers before I lose it like the Dark One's dagger, and before you ask, I may have overheard an episode or two." I said

"Okay, you win." Grace said

"Now then, time to get down to business." I said while cracking my knuckles

"Uh…. Nice Sakura…. Good Sakura…." Sayer said in a scared tone

I then pushed his chair into the wall while grabbing his hair before I said:

"First, I'm not a dog. Second, should've thought about what would've happened if Akiza and I were free." I said as I activated Lightsworn Sabre

"I…. I don't remember!" Sayer exclaimed

"Remember what? I never even started interrogating you yet." I said while holding the sword at his neck

"Okay…. is it me or is he acting a bit more weird than before?" Grace asked

I then tilted him upwards, making him make eye contact with me, before I said:

"You can't use your powers, can you?"

"Why say that?" Sayer asked

"Because you would've tried to knock me back just now." I said

"You mean this?" Sayer said as he bonked me on the head with his head and the chair fell onto my right foot

"That does it." I said while holding the sword even tighter with a murderous look in my eyes

"Take it easy, Sakura. We don't want you to turn into another Sayer." Grace said

And I scared his pants off when I nearly drove my sword into his head, stopping only an inch away, kinda like Iris' Axew versus Cynthia's Garchomp.

"Sakura, enough! You are turning into a copy of Sayer and it's scaring not only me but your own sister." Grace said

"Well sorry! You try torturing info out of him then." I said

"You left me no choice." Grace said as she held up the Past Image trap card then saying to Dawn:

"May I seal her memories of Matt away?"

That only got me scared as I hid behind Dawn as a shield. No way was I having that happen again!

"So Dawn, may I?" Grace asked Dawn

"I don't know. I think she's learned her lesson." Dawn said as she saw me shaking like a leaf

"Alright." Grace said as she put the trap card back in her safe before saying:

"Maybe I can have a crack at getting the info since, ya know?" while pointing to me about the whole Psychopathic tendencies

"Hey! Blame the shrink, not me!" I exclaimed

"Or should Mary fear you?" Grace asked me

"Point taken." I said while sulking

"Just joking about that." Grace said

"You got me." I said

"Sayer, if you don't tell us the info we want then I don't care if Sakura has psychopathic tendencies, I will give her the okay to kill you where you sit, right here and now." Grace said in a threatening tone that was more than what I had

"Okay! Okay! I'll talk! I'll talk!" Sayer exclaimed as his hair spiked up like Marik's during the Battle City Tournament

"Why did you control Sakura and Akiza?" Grace asked, still in that serious and threatening tone

"Because I wanted to rebuild my Arcadia Movement from the bottom up, and what better way to do that than to recruit the best?" Sayer then asked

"My turn. Who the hell let you out of your cell in the Facility, because you're not smart enough to stage a jailbreak without it making it to the front page." I said

"That part, I won't say." Sayer said

"Who was it!" Grace yelled

"Tell us, or you're getting decapitated." I said while holding the sabre closer to his neck

"It…. It was her father…" Sayer trailed off while pointing to Mary

"Say what?!" We all exclaimed in unison

"My father…." Mary trailed off before gripping her head in pain before screaming in pain

"Mary!" I exclaimed as I ran over to her

"Ah!" Mary screamed in pain still

I then held Mary in my arms while rubbing her back, hoping to help her calm down.

"I… I remembered….. Akiza….. Dawn…" Mary trailed off after calming down

"Huh?" I wondered

"I remembered who they are." Mary said in happiness

"How did you forget?" I asked sarcastically

"Remember, she went unconscious during our duel which caused her to forget who Dawn and Akiza are." Grace said to me

"I can't be sarcastic anymore? Still, what do you think caused her to have her memories triggered like that?" I asked

"My guess, when Sayer brought up Mary's father, it caused her to remember who Dawn and Akiza are." Crow pointed out

"Good theory." I said

"Akiza…. do you… still remember who I am from years ago?" Mary asked Akiza

"Of course I do. I never forgot you." Akiza said

"I'm sorry that my parents drove you away from me…." Mary trailed off while looking away

"It's okay. I never was mad at you." Akiza said while smiling

"Still… my parents don't listen to me at all…." Mary said while trying not to cry

"Hey. Mary. With his testimony, we can pin your dad too, and maybe as his cellmate." I said while smiling evilly

"True but knowing my father…. he'll pin everything he does on me like he did when I was growing up…. anything my father did wrong, I got blamed for….." Mary said while crying

"We can't fake this though." I said

"No… My father will blame me for making Sayer escape from the facility… he does for everything he does..." Mary said while crying even more

"He can't this time, because you have an alibi for when it happened." I said

"Then take a look at this." Mary said while crying as she threw me a folder which had everything Mary's father blamed on Mary

"Sakura…. what Mary is saying is true…. Her father blamed her for his stealing when she was 2 years old…. He father will do it again and will send her to the facility because it states right here "If Mary gets blamed one more turn, we will send her to the facility for the remainder of her life."" Grace said as she took a look at the folder

"Who the hell steals something when she's two years old?!" I exclaimed

"Everyone believes my father over me….. even when I'm right about my father….." Mary said as she kept crying as she ran out of the Arcadia Movement

I then grabbed her wrist before saying:

"Mary, are you going to let them drive your life forever, or are you going to actually stand up for yourself?"

"We went to Mina about this but….. now… I'm not sure…" Mary said while crying as she was starting to go dry in tears

"Hey. Look at me Mary. We talked to Mina, right?" I asked her

"Y-yeah." Mary said, crying, looking at me

"She'll get the evidence on him, and she'll make sure he's put away for not only what you did, but for letting Sayer out too. Right now, your dad is as harmless as Sylvester is to Tweety." I said

"But if my dad finds out about this….. he'll kill me…. He will literally kill me by choking me to death…" Mary said before crying

"Hey, Mary. If you think that's bad, you should meet my uncle. One time, I didn't cook dinner for him the way he wanted, so he tied me up and held me by the neck with his belt. Thankfully, Goodwin had guardianship over me at the time and decided to check up on me, but my point is, I'm going to be there for you, to make up for the time I forgot about you." I said

"That's not as bad as what happened at the age of 2…. my father almost drowned me in the ocean. He doesn't care what happens to me including my mother… so you were lucky to have someone to check up on you…." Mary said

"Mary, if all of this is true, he's going away for a long time, your mom too. We can pin your dad on child abuse and your mom on child neglect. Like I said, I'll be there for you, just like how you were for me." I said while smiling

"Thank you, Sakura… to be honest… you seem more like a mother figure to me then my real mother…" Mary trailed off while smiling a bit

"She is, this one time, when we were young, there was this terrible storm and Eric and I…" Dawn started before she covered her mouth as she saw me looking down

"Keep going…" Mary, Grace, Yusei, Akiza, Crow, Jack, Leo, Luna, Mel and Bruno said in unison

"I'd love to, but…" Dawn started as she looked at me

"It's okay. They need to know." I said

"Know what?" Akiza asked

Before I could say, we heard Sector Security sirens nearby.

"Great, perfect timing. Sayer's ride back to the Facility is here." I said

"Great work on tying up Sayer, Sakura." Trudge said as he walked up to us

"I would love to take the credit, but Grace was the one who did it." I said

"No, you tied him up, not me." Grace said

"But you brought the rope." I said

"True but in any case, Trudge. Why was Sayer released from the Facility?" Grace asked

"That's the thing, he wasn't supposed to! Some wise guy unlocked his cell and put him on parole when he's sentenced for life!" exclaimed Trudge

"It was my father…." Mary softly spoke

"Uh, did you say something? I didn't quite hear that." Trudge told Mary

"It was my father who let him out…." Mary trailed off while looking away

"No wonder the security camera image was all shady. He was the only guy who had access to the security tapes when Sayer was let out." Trudge said while scratching the back of his head

Trudge saw that Mary was trying so hard not to cry about what her father would do to her, when I surprised her by pulling her into a hug.

"Maybe I should just die…" Mary said before crying

"Hey. Don't say stuff like that." I said

"Uh… what's going on with her?" Trudge asked while pointing to Mary

"What's the point Sakura….." Mary said before running away

"Mary. What did I say earlier?" I asked her as I grabbed her wrists

"Goodbye….. forever…" Mary said as she shook out of my grip and left the Arcadia Movement HQ, crying

"Mary!" I exclaimed as I ran after her

"What's her problem Dawn?" Trudge asked about Mary

"Don't ask me." Dawn said

I managed to run after Mary just before she could get too far and stopped her.

"Just stop Sakura…" Mary trailed off, crying

"I can't worry about my best friend?" I asked her

"You can but…. you have a boyfriend to talk to so forget me…" Mary trailed off, crying still

"I'm not going to ignore my best friend, especially since I know you're still upset." I said

"Still, your boyfriend is more important than me." Mary said

"If that were true, I would've found him by now." I said

"Oh…." Mary sadly said

"Mary, listen to me. I promised to help you, right?" I asked her

"Yeah…" Mary trailed off

"Once I make a promise, I do everything I can to keep it. We'll get you away from your family, and we'll definitely put your dad away for everything he did to you." I said

"Thank you but in all seriousness, you need to find your boyfriend." Mary said

"Grace can do that, you're more important right now." I said

"No… your boyfriend is, not me." Mary said

"We're going to keep doing this all day, aren't we?" I asked

"Yes we are." Mary said while smiling

"But in all seriousness, you're my friend, and I'll always be there to look out for you." I said

"Thank you but let's tell Trudge about what my father did to me years ago." Mary said

"Yeah." I said

"Well what are we waiting for. Let's go!" Mary exclaimed

"Right!" I exclaimed

We soon got back to where Trudge and everyone else was at.

"Okay, I'm calm now." Mary said

"Mary, if you're not comfortable with talking, I can talk for you." I told her

"Let's talk together, Sakura." Mary said

"Alright." I said while smiling

"Trudge… my father needs to get arrested." Mary said

"For what?" Trudge asked

"For letting Sayer out of his little birdcage, for abusing Mary since she was an infant, and… what else was there?" I wondered out loud

"And for lying to get out of things by blaming me for them." Mary said while handing Trudge the folder

"Whoa! This is a lot. Miss White, don't worry, we'll make sure your father doesn't get away with this again." said Trudge

"And there's more…. my mother didn't care about what my father did to me…" Mary trailed off while looking away

"We can only put her on trial, but we'll try to help you move away from them. You have my word." said Trudge

"Problem…. my mother knows Lazar who can bail her out of anything…." Mary sadly said

"Did you forget that Lazar is AWOL?" I asked her

"Oh yeah." Mary said while sweat dropping

"Point is, she can't get out of this sticky situation, almost as sticky as a Teddiursa's paws." I said

"True but knowing my father… He'll just blame it on me like he does with everything else…" Mary said

"Not if you know a good lawyer who can put him in jail faster than Dorothy clicked her heels together in the Wizard of Oz movie." I said

"That's so very true as well." Mary said

Mary and I shared a good laugh. Man, I missed these moments

Grace's POV

I finally found Matt, thank goodness

"Matt!" I exclaimed

"Hey." Matt said without even looking at me

"Matt listen. I have something you should listen to since Sakura that you heard back at Sayer's Arcadia Movement HQ was fake, not the real Sakura that you know." I said

"Felt like it." said Matt

"Listen to this." I said as I played the recording

"The reason why I controlled Sakura and Akiza was to rebuild the Arcadia Movement starting with the best and that means getting rid of anyone who knows the best and that included your boyfriend, Sakura!" Sayer exclaimed

We both winced as we heard Sakura punch him into the wall. Yep. She's just like Sakura Haruno.

"But you do realize that not only did you make Matt upset but you also made Sakura here mad and let me tell you, I will not stop her from killing you if you keep sayings stuff that makes her mad." I said

"So say something smart, genius, unless you want Grunika to give you a scar matching your other one." said Sakura

"Uh… I was saying something smart." Sayer said

"Got something else you wanna say smartass?" Sakura asked Sayer

"Uh…. nope…. nothing." Sayer said

And that's when I shut off the recording before Matt returned to watching the sunset.

"Matt please… Sakura saw and heard everything while her body was doing Sayer's bidding." I said

"So? If she did, doesn't that just prove that those were really her words?" Matt asked me

"She really loves you and wants to make it up to you." I begged Matt

"Then why are you here instead of her?" Matt asked me

"She went after Mary since she was hurt about what her father did to her years ago and wanted to kill herself." I told him

"Then tell her this. Tell her if she really wants me to forgive her, she has to meet me here, tonight. After I've cooled off some, I'll tell her if I forgive her or not." Matt told me

"I will." I said

Matt walked away and rode off on his duel runner. Still… I have a bad feeling.

Sakura's POV

After we watched Mary's father being pushed into a jail cell, more specifically, Sayer's cell, we were riding back to my penthouse when I saw Grace waiting for us.

"Did you find him?" I asked him

"Yeah but I have a message from him to you that he wanted me to give you." Grace said

"What is it?" I asked her

"If you really want Matt to forgive you then you have to meet Matt at the docks, tonight. After he cooled off some then he'll tell you if he forgives you or not." Grace said

"Alright. I guess I have to go and get ready." I said

"I hope he forgives you." Grace said

"Me too." I said

"Good luck." Grace said as she went back home

"Thanks." I said

"No problem!" Grace exclaimed as she drove off back to her house

Once we got back inside, I changed back into my usual riding suit, and burned the one Sayer gave me. Too much cleavage. In any case, I got ready to drive to the docks, and when I arrived, Matt was still there. I hope he could forgive me. If not, I guess I'll be going on dating sites.

"You're here." Matt said

"Yeah. I was hoping you would forgive me for… for what Sayer made me say. I didn't mean any of it. If you don't, I understand." I said

"Grace told me about that. She played the recording of Sayer admitting it." Matt said

"And I guess you don't forgive me." I said

"Yes, I don't forgive you because even with you not meaning what you said, it hurt me and for that, I just can't forgive for." Matt said

"What? Do you really mean that, or are you using this as an excuse?" I asked him

"I really mean it." Matt said

"Oh, so me seeing you with Emily at the mall the same day you told me you were too busy to look at cards for our Turbo Decks for the WRGP is something you can explain?" I asked him, getting kinda ticked off

"Emily and I are friends. There is nothing to explain about that." Matt said

"Like how there's nothing to explain about going to a jewelry store and buying a ring?" I asked him

"Why do you care about that?" Matt asked me

"Because it felt like to me that you had to lie to me instead of being honest. If you had told me about her, I would've understood, but you decided to go behind my back about it. If that's how you feel, if that's how you're going to choose to mend the distance that has come between us these past six months, then I'm sorry, but it's over. We're done." I said as I put my helmet back on my head

"Oh, like how you lied to me since I saw you with Yusei!" Matt exclaimed as he faced me

"I may have had a crush on him, once upon a time, but he chose Akiza, and I respected that. I chose you, and I was hoping that nothing like this would force us apart. Now get out of the way before I run you over." I said with angry tears falling down my face

"So you can see that new boy who had been with, I don't know, Naomi." Matt said

"I don't know who you're talking about, but I don't want to be with anyone after this Matthew." I said with venom in my voice

"Give us another chance, please." Matt said as he walked up to me

"You chose to not forgive me. That's the same as breaking up with me. You made your decision." I said as I started up my Duel Runner

"Please, you're the only girl for me." Matt begged to me

"It looked different." I said before I drove away

"Sakura, wait!" Matt exclaimed

I just kept driving as tears kept falling. I don't know what I saw in him anymore. We were together for only eight months as boyfriend and girlfriend, yet we knew each other for five years. Some choice I made. Even if he left voicemails and whatevers on my phone and doorstep, I would just delete them without listening to them, and burn them to a crisp.

"Sakura… wait!" Matt trailed off as he rode up to me

"Leave me alone!" I exclaimed, still angry that he wouldn't forgive me

"But Sakura, I forgive you." Matt said

"Oh, if you forgive me now, why didn't you back at the docks? You're only saying it so we can stay together, well it's not working." I said as I accelerated to make the next light while Matt was stuck waiting

"Sakura…" Matt trailed off, seeing me drive away

I made it back home, but I took my runner upstairs so Matt would think that I never made it back and decided to go clubbing or something. Right now, I need three people to cool down, and they're me, myself, and I. When the elevator stopped at the top, I pulled my runner over next to Dawn's, and went back into my room where I kicked off my boots and just lied down on my bed, trying really hard not to cry.

Mary's POV

Dawn and I were cooking something special for Sakura from a recipe I had from my old home when I used to live with my mother and father. Hopefully it still turns out good from how I made it from the last time I made it, which was when I was four when we all turned to see Sakura go to her room, looking pretty angry. She looked like she got into a fight with a street punk, and didn't make it to the docks.

"Dawn, continue the recipe, I'm going to check up on Sakura." I said as I walked to Sakura's room

"Alright, though be careful. The last time I saw her look that way, her room turned into a disaster zone." said Dawn

"I will." I said as I knocked on Sakura's room and said:

"Sakura, may I please come it since best friends are there for each other."

"*sigh* Fine, but only because you said 'please'." I heard Sakura say

I walked into Sakura's room and saw that she was crying as I sat next to her on her bed.

"What happened? You were there to help me get away from my parents because of me being there for you in the past and now it's my turn to cheer you up." I said as I rubbed Sakura's back

"*sniff* Matt didn't forgive me, and we got into a fight, and then I broke with him, and then he tried to take it all back." Sakura said while summarizing what had happened while trying not to cry even more than she already had

"Hey it's okay. Dawn and I are here for you." I said as I hugged Sakura

Sakura reluctantly hugged me back as I felt that she was still crying. This whole Matt thing must've really hurt her more than I thought.

"Sakura, if you don't cheer up right now then I can tell Dawn to throw away something that her and I were making for you from a recipe I kept from my old house." I told Sakura

"Hey, it's my first break-up with someone I really thought was the one. Can ya blame me?" Sakura asked me while wiping away her tears

"And it kinda has your favorite food in it when I made it years ago before we met." I told her

"In that case, I'll try, but I can't make any promises." Sakura said as she wiped away her tears

"Then close your eyes since Dawn and I don't want to ruin the surprise." I said

Sakura then closed her eyes, and I put a blindfold over her eyes for good measure.

"Come on." I said as I lead Sakura out from her bedroom

I slowly led her to the kitchen, but she accidentally crashed into one of the decorative pillars that decorated the entrance hall. Kristoff moment.

"Pillar." Sakura said in pain

"Sorry…" I sadly said while trailing off

"It's okay. It's not every day you have a Kristoff moment from Frozen." Sakura said

I finally lead Sakura to the kitchen where I took off the blindfold for Sakura to see a pie in front of her.

"Whoa." Sakura said in shock

"It's called Blueberry Lemon Pie, try a bite." I said as I handed her a piece of it

Sakura picked up her dessert fork, sliced a bite-sized bit of the pie, ate it, and judging by the look on her face, she really liked it!

"It's really good." Sakura said while smiling

"The reason why it taste good because it requires some lemon cookies for the crust, which beats the taste of Blueberry in it." I told Sakura

"Well, lemon cookies are my favorite sweet treat." Sakura said while smiling

"Do you want this recipe then?" I asked her

"Do you have to ask?" Sakura asked me

"I can also try to make new foods that I didn't copy the ingredients down for." I said while looking away since all of my other recipes were back in my old house but were probably sold by now

"Hey, don't look down, okay? You have an amazing memory, Mary. Even if you can't remember right away, you do." Sakura told me

"Thanks! So, let's dig in." I said while smiling

We all soon digged into the pie and ate it since it was made for 18 people. Seriously, it was that big.

Detroid: Well, now that's one way to cheer someone up.

sakuraphoenix: I can think of other ways my adorable Raichu.

Detroid: *blushes* anyway, what will Sakura do now since she no longer has a boyfriend?

sakuraphoenix: I think fortune will smile in someone's future.

Detroid: Like what we know for who Sakura's new boyfriend is but we aren't going to say anything, yet.

sakuraphoenix: But in any case, please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix…

Detroid: And I'm Detroid! Both saying I Heart You, signing off for now! See ya!

sakuraphoenix: Hasta luego! Bye!
