Chapter Eight
'Carly. Carly, get up, please.'
Carly looked up and in one of her dream like visions she saw Fortune Lady Earth there. 'Carly you've got to get up and active Fortune Lady Light's special ability! Summon me so I can protect you from any further attacks Carly, please!'
There was strong laughter from the other side of the room. "You could always just surrender you know! I can make this quick and an easy finish for you." Said the stranger.
Surrendering didn't seem like that bad of an idea. If Carly's calulations were right then she had lost 1300 life points leaving her with 2700 life points.
'No Carly! You can not give up hope yet!' Carly now had a visual image of Fortune Lady Dark in her head. She was floating by her other side like Lady Earth. 'You can't just give up! You've got to fight, if not for yourself then for Jack and the world and for us! If you go Carly then you don't just die, the world becomes in danger of the Dark Signer's ressorection again. You have to get up and defeat this creep right and and now!'
"B-But how?" Carly whispered almost to herself "He's too strong and knows all my moves and-"
"I do have to question though why your not questioning how I just attacked you with two face up attack monsters. Hmmm, and the way you placed Lady Light in defence mode rather than attack makes me curious. But then again, you always were stupid at this game! And how can I blame you from not asking questions when your shaking in your boots from fear." There was another barrel of laughter.
But that little speech had made Carly realise something. "H-He doesn't know I know what his field is or what cards he holds in his hands. Or that I saw that attack coming. How? How can I see these things when I'm blind!" Carly mummbled.
'Remember when Fortune Lady Light was explaining how we are no longer our weaker Fairy type monsters, well, it has to do with that Carly.' Said the spirit of Fortune Lady Earth.
'We are not the only one's who's hidden potential was activated. You've had tamd powers trapped within you since you were born. They were brought out though from the stress of the Dark Signers, especially near the end of your duel with Jack Atlas, don't you remember.' Said Fortune Lady Dark.
"Remember?" Carly mummbled. The memory of Carly managing to leave her own body and make Jack leave his as they talked in some weird world came back to her. It made her heart flop at Jack telling her he'd help her end this if it's what she wanted. "Yes… I do, but...how?"
'Your an astral projector Carly with a sense for the supernatural. You have a strong spirit that can leave your body if needed and communicate with others, whether that be people or duel spirits. Right now you are projecting and that is how you can see us. You can see your rivals cards because you can sense and see the duel spirits that he holds. ' Said Fortune Lady Earth.
'As for seeing future images, you've always had a fasenation for knowing what's to come which is one of the reasons why you picked us, your Fortune Fairies. It could be possible that you've tapped into our ability to see future visions through the elements such as Light, Earth, Darkness, Wind, Water. ' Said Fortune Lady Dark.
A lot of things made sense now. But everything just felt surreal. Carly was just plan normal Carly! She didn't have superpowers like Akiza or Luna. She couldn't talk or see Duel spirits! But here she was talking to her cards right now.
"It's time to move on!" She heard the stranger call.
'Hurry Carly, activate Fortune Lady Light's ability before it's too late!' Said Fortune Lady Earth before both of them faded away.
Forgetting all about where she was at, Carly jumped up and did as Fortune Lady Earth instructed. "I activate my Fortune Lady Light's special ability! When she's taken out from play I can summon another Fortune Lady from my deck and I summon Fortune Lady Dark in attack mode! Fortune Lady Dark's attack is equal to her level times 400, making my Fortune Lady Dark's attack power stronger than your Gemini Elves or your GraveKeeper!"
Carly heard her rival growl in annoance before mummbling that he ended his turn.
Her Fortune Lady dark could take his Gemini Elves out easy, but then he still had that mirror force on his field. Her trap card could get rid of that and then she'd be able to attack Gemini Elves and get rid of it from the field. But then his Gravekeeper would still be on the field stopping her from beining able to direct attack and his special effect would activate and she would lose 500 life points. She couldn't afford to lose any more life points. She could still activate a monster card, one that could take out Gravekeeper. But then, Carly couldn't afford to send both Monsters to the Graveyard because she could see that in his hand was a card that would allow his to use the two monsters he'd sent to the grave yard to be sacrified to summon his Earthbound Immortal that would be able to take her out in his next turn. Carly needed a miricale or not only her life, but the fate of the world would be in peral.

Jack Atlas cared very little about the damages he made or Yusei yelling for him to stop. Jack ramed into the glass doors of the hospital with his duel runner and hurriedly drove it down the corridors of the hospital. People kept getting in the way though, so he stopped his runner, climbed out and yelled for everyone to evacuate the building now!
While everyone else escaped using the broken glass door, Jack run up the stairs to get to Carly with Yusei close behind.

This was it! Carly had to draw a powerful card if she was going to survive his next turn. If not then she was done for and nothing else would matter. Not that she was an astral projector or anything! She would lose not only her life, but her body, her soul and the whole world would be at risk. She had to do this. She had to trust in her deck. Her deck that was new and improved thanks to the Dark Signers. She just had to hope though that whatever card she drew would be strong enough to, if not defeat his Earthbound Immortal the next round, then end this duel now!
Carly's shaking fingers were on top of the card. She couldn't quite see or sense what it was. She was too frightened to focus.
When light fingers touched hers though, Carly opened her eyes to find Fortune Lady Light, Earth, Dark, Water and Wind there drawing the card with her. With all the strengh and encouragement she felt from her cards, her fear was gone and she believed that she could win this. Together, they all drew the card.
And Carly smiled.
"Your time is over!"
The stranger seemed taken back.
"I summon Emerancy Aid of a Friend. With this card I can summon any number of monsters I want from my deck to the field so long as they share the same name as my Fortune Lady Dark. So, I summon, Fortune Lady Earth, Fortune Lady Water and Fortune Lady Wind all in attack mode. But that's not all! This deck may have been yours once, but now it's mine and theirs a card you got rid off when I was a Dark Signer because your Earthbound Immortal was the bestist card ever so there was no need for this one. Well now it's back in my deck and is the Ace of my Deck that will destroy you! I sacrife all my Fortune Ladies to special summon Fortune Queen!"
Carly gasped at the woman before her. She was breath takingly beautiful as she took a powerful stand with her silver staff in hand. Her skin shimmered white with gold and silver drapes making her sparkle. Her hair flowed longingly like a sparking white stream and her eyes were pure blue saphires. Her smile was the smiles of an angels as she looked back to Carly.
'Hello Carly. I've heard quite a bit of you from my fellow Fortune Ladies. It is a pleasure to finally have the opprotunity to meet you. Now, let's finish this!'
Carly was stutted temperarily, until her Queen spoke of him. A smile graced Carly's lips as she turned back to face her opponant.
"Now, she many start off with no attack points or defence points, but thanks to my Fortune Ladies, My Fortune Queen recieves 1000 ATK and DEF point for every Fortune Lady that's in my Graveyard!"
"5-5000 attack points?" Stuttered the stranger.
"Yes, but that's not all! My Fortune Queen's special ability is that she can attack you directly and none of your spell cards or trap cards can do anything to stop her. Now, go Fortune Queen! Fortune's Blast!"
A bright light illuminated the room and the burst of power was too much. The stranger's screams of pain could be heard as he was sent flying into the walls from the blast, and soon, his body was taken by the shadows. The demon that posessed him though, yelled out "This isn't over!"
Carly was too busy withstanding her own ground though as the force of the attack also back fired, the winds blasting Carly back and out of the window!
