So, I'm back with another chapter! Jupiter's Magic helped me with this chapter, so, thanks Jupie! Thank her!
Here's chapter 3.
Normal POV:
They arrived back at that strange place. Gabriel took her helmet off, and tossed it on a nearby table in the garage.
"I wondah," Gabriel looked at Valon as he spoke. He was currently leaning against his motorcycle, his arms crossed. "Why didn't ya take 'at card ya were aftah, I mean, we didn't go all 'at way to get Rebecca's soul." he said in a 'matter of factly' tone.
She was surprised by the question. Gab opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again. "I don't know," she said quietly, looking at the ground.
Valon sighed and walked towards her. He put his hand on her shoulder, making her look up at him. "I'm not mad at ya, you know it," he said in a kind voice.
Gab smiled and nodded.
"Everything will be fine," she said, and leaned back against a table, while Valon silently went outside.
She took out her Orichaclos stone from her pocket and sat on the table cross-legged. Gab took a random metal piece, which was nearby her. The garage looked like a workhouse.
Getting off the table to close the garage door, she went on a hunt for a hammer and a screwdriver. Once they were retrieved, she went back to table and began crafting.
After an hour or so, she had finished something, which looked like a metal bracelet with a hole in the middle. Picking up the teal colored stone, she placed it carefully into the hole; it fit.
"Great!" Gab exclaimed putting the bracelet on.
Gabriel heard footsteps coming from outside the garage, only to find the garage door opening. Turning around to look behind her, she saw Raphael and Alister.
"Hey there." she said, waving at them both. Alister ignored her, and Raphael just nodded at her direction.
Alister got on his orange motorbike, and Raphael got on his green one. They both put on their helmets and took off.
Gab tilted her head to the side, noticing that Valon's motorbike was also not here.
"Where did they go?" she asked herself, getting up and walking towards the castle to see if they were there.
Finding no one, she sighed and proceeded to look for her room; although she had been there for a while, she still had some difficulty finding her room (after all, the hallway is a maze; literally)
Once she found it – and it only took her five minutes this time; the previous time, it took her fifteen-she went inside. When she turned the light on, a grin slid onto her face; she had found a computer.
After waiting a few minutes for the computer to boot up, she was able to finally use the computer. Gab checked her email. Apparently she had 3 new mails.
Gab read the first one.
Hey, Gab. It's been awhile since we saw you! It's kinda sad, where are you? We've missed you. Anyway, your birthday is in a week, so we want to say Happy birthday if we didn't saw each others. Goodbye for now, I'll E-mail you again later.
Sender: Téa Gardner
Date: 9/1/2011(?)
She frowned and sighed, while pressing the delete button. She clicked on the second E-mail.
Hey, Gab. I noticed you didn't respond to the e-mail I sent you three days ago, what happened? If there's something wrong, tell us, we can help you! We miss you.
Sender: Téa Gardner
Date: 9/4/2011
She pressed the delete button again.
Why would she respond? She then clicked on the third E-mail.
Hey Gab, it's me Téa. As I said you didn't answer any of the E-mails. If there's something wrong don't be afraid to tell us. We all wish you a happy birthday since your birthday is tomorrow, and we want to make sure your happy on your birthday. Sorry for that ramble. XD anyway, we want to meet you tomorrow if you're free. Text me back when you see this text.
Sender: Téa Gardner
Date: 9/5/2011
She was getting a little bit adgitated by the constant emails, but decided to not delete that email. Sighing, she turned off the computer
She got up, and walked out of the room only to bump into Alister.
Wow. DéjàVu much?
"Watch where you are going, " he said through clenched teeth. Why does he always get so angry?
Without even thinking, she blurted out eh first thing that came into her mind. "You're back!"
Crap, she thought, mentally smacking herself.
He cocked an eyebrow and shook his head. "Anyway, Happy birthday," he stated flatly.
She raised an eyebrow. "Huh? How did ya know?" she asked, tilting her head.
"Valon told me."
"How did Valon know?"
"Ask him yourself," he said, shrugging his shoulders and walking away.
He left her wondering. She seemed to reacall what Téa's email had said. If she recalled correctly, it said something about a text message.
Gab took out her cellphone and searched through her inbox, and indeed there was a text message from Téa. She was shocked to find, that it had already been opened.
Hey, Gab. It's me again, I wonder why you didn't answer the E-mails. You got us all very worried. I'll call you tomorrow. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

"Who read that text?" she asked herself out a loud, only to be startled by a loud explosion from outside. She scrambled out of the castle to look for the sorce; it was somewhat tricky since it was dusk.
She saw that the sun was setting
It's such a beautiful sight, she said to herself, letting out a sigh. The sun began setting and the sky being illuminated by the twinkling stars.
Gab gazed at the stars until she saw fireworks blow up in the sky. She yelped in surprise and fell on her back.
She turned her head to the sound of a mechanical laughter that came from behind her and found that it belonged to Valon.
Valon holding a firework with a grin on his face.
"You will pay!" Gab said, getting up to run after him.
Raphael shook his head as he walked over to the two younger bikers. "Guys, master Dartz won't appreciate that."
He let out a sigh, when he realized they weren't listening to him.
Gab stopped running after him to catch her breath. He took this opportunity to blow another firework.
And another.
And another.
Before the last one in his hand, Gab startled him by jumping on his back.
"Gotcha!" She said, with an evil smirk. "Now, you'll pay!" she said before tickling his sides. He laughed so hard that Raphael had flinched.
Does he have to laugh that loud? Raphael questioned.
"Valon, Gabriel, Raphael. Master Dartz wants to meet you," a voice said from behind them.
Gab guessed that he was a fellow partner. She got up and followed Raphael and Valon inside the castle.
They reached the strange chamber from before and saw Alister there. The moment they all entered the room, all three of them kneeled down.
"Good work Gabriel on your first use of the Orichalcos." Dartz said, and she mentally sighed in relief. "But,"
…Of course there's a 'but', she sighed.
"The soul you captured isn't strong enough." he said.
She sighed loudly this time. "I will capture stronger souls," Gab said in a low tone.
Dartz nodded, and waved his hand. "The Pharaoh's soul is the strongest soul. Seal it," he said, waving them off. "You're dismissed."
They got up and left the room.
"Who will get the Pharaoh's soul?" Gab asked them, the moment they left the temple.
Raphael raised his hand.
"I'll go after the Pharaoh," he said, crossing his arms.
"And I'll go after Kaiba." Alister said dangerously.
"Who I'll go aftah?" Valon whinedonly to let out a mischievous grin. "Wheeler! He's a good duelist."
"You left me no one," she pouted.
They stopped walking as they reached Gab's room.
"Goodnight guys, talk to you tomorrow," she said, turning to face them, only to find that they weren't listening; they were apparently engaged in an in-depth conversation amongst each other.
She tilted her head as she noticed Valon smirking. "What are you talking about?" she asked.
Raphael shook his head. "Nothing," he said.
Gab sighed and rolled her eyes. "Okay then. Goodnight," she said entering her room.
Collapsing onto the bed, the days events began playing in her head.
Before she could sleep, someone barged in.
"What the...?" Gab looked at the door to see Valon standing there, beside him was Alister and Raphael.
Raphael seemed to be hiding something behind his back and Valon seemed to be excited about something- she knows this because his signature grin was plastered onto his face. As for Alister, he didn't seem to be interested.
"Happy birthday, Gab!" Valon said and ran up to hug her, while Raphael revealed a cake, which he had been hiding behind his back.
Gab's eyes widened and she was gaping like a stupid fish.
"Happy birthday, Gabriel." Raph said in his rough voice, putting the cake on a table in her room.
Alister crossed his arms, and in result, Valon walked up to him and smacked the back of his head lightly.
"Happy birthday, Quelown." Alister grumbled, as he sat on a random chair.
She tilted her head. "Quelown? Is that Queen and Clown merged together?" she asked, more to herself than them, before smiling at Raph and Valon.
"Thanks guys, that means a lot to me," she smiled at them.
"Rip the cake, rip the cake." Valon chanted cheerfully, and Gab had to laugh about that.
"You mean, 'Cut the cake, Valon,'" she managed to say through laughs.
Valon rubbed the back of his sheepishly as Raph let out a chuckle.
Valon took the knife and swayed it carelessly, in an attempt to cut the cake.
Sensing it would get ugly, Gab took it before someone get harmed. She smiled as she cut the cake into even slices-er, tried to.
She gave them all a slice before taking a slice.
"Mmmm. Tasty," she said, closing her eyes, letting her taste buds savor the flavor. Chocolate and Vanilla. Sweet!
"I made it!" said Valon pumping his fist in the air.
"No, Valon. You bought it." Raph corrected.
Alister just rolled his eyes and ate his slice silently.
After celebrating her birthday, Valon, Alister and Raph went to their respective rooms.
Gab looked around and sighed in relief as the room wasn't messed up. They just ate a cake, and talked about random subjects, until one of their fellow partners told them to sleep.
Gab lay in her bed, closing her eyes to sleep, but sleep was nowhere to be found. She sighed and turned around to face the wall. Closing her eyes again, she tried to sleep.
…No such luck
She groaned in annoyance before sitting up. She ran a hand through her hair, before resting her head on her palm.
Gab remembered what her foster mother used to sing so she can sleep.
"Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time.
Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time
Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart
Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose
- Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
Who knows? Only time"
Before she knew it, she was fast asleep.
The next morning, Gab woke up to feel that her back was almost breaking, and her wrist was sore. She realized that she had slept in that position. She groaned as she nursed her sore wrist.
She jumped off the bed and her legs nearly gave out. "I ain't gonna sleep in that position ever again!" she chuckled to herself getting into her bathroom to do her daily routine.
"I really need to go shopping, I don't have pajamas," Gab said, making a mental note to buy new clothes before getting out of her room.
She walked to wherever her feet were taking her. Gab found herself standing in front of the strange chamber.
"Come in," she heard someone say, and instantly recognized the voice; Dartz
Gab gulped silently before walking in respectfully. "You called, Master Dartz?" she asked, kneeling, before standing up.
It was the first time Gab was in front of Dartz without the other bikers and she had to admit, she was kinda nervous.
"I want you to accompany Alister on his mission," Dartz said, and she wanted to open her mouth in protest but she couldn't.
On second though, it'll be a pleasure to duel Pegasus.
"I will, Master Dartz. Is there anything else?" she asked.
"Not for now, you're dismissed." Dartz said, waving his hand. Gab walked out of the room, with a grin on her face.
She walked carelessly in the maze like hallway to find herself in front of two giant doors. She opened them to find Alister and Raphael. Alister was lost in thoughts, while Raphael was reading a book, and Valon was nowhere to be found.
"Oi, guys!" she said cheerfully. Raphael nodded, while Alister just huffed.
"I'll duel Pegasus first, then I'll go after Kaiba." Alister declared suddenly, making Gabriel and Raphael look at him.
"I want to duel, Pegasus." Gabriel exclaimed, slamming her fists onto the dining room table.
"Too bad. It's my mission and I'm dueling him!" Alister retorted back angrily.
Raphael was reading-rather, trying to read- a book and was really getting fed up with their arguing.
This has to stop. Where's Valon when I actually need him? Raphael thought, tightening his grip on book's edges.
"You can't duel Pegasus! You are already dueling Kaiba!" Gab shouted, glaring at Alister.
"You're not a good duelist! I'll duel Pegasus and Kaiba!" Alister shouted back, also glaring at Gabriel.
"Enough!" Raphael roared, startling the two younger bikers. "I can't read with you two fighting over stupid things!"
"It's my mission," Alister said, emphasizing the word 'my'.
"And Dartz wants me to go with you-" Gabriel didn't finish her sentence as Raphael interrupted.
"Flip a coin or play rock paper scissors-"
"Can I play?" Valon exclaimed, jumping out of nowhere, startling the three bikers.
"No!" they exclaimed in unison, glaring at Valon.
Valon backed away a few steps. "Gee, why?"
"It's our problem!" Gabriel and Alister said in the same time, before glaring at each other.
"We'll flip a coin!" Gabriel announced.
Valon took a coin out from his pocket. "'ere," he said as he handed his sister the coin.
Gabriel snatched the coin from his hand, and he sarcastically grinned.
"You're welcome."
"Heads, I'll duel Pegasus, Tails, you duel Pegasus," Alister said crossing his arms as Gabriel tossed the coin.
It landed on...
"YES!" she jumped up and down from joy. "I'll duel Pegasus! I'll duel Pegasus," she cheered, mocking Alister who was boiling from anger.
Tails.
Raphael sat down on his chair. "That settles it then, " he said, grabbing his book to continue reading it.
Valon pouted. "I didn' get ta play-" he said, sitting down on his chair with a huff.
"NO!" Alister shouted suddenly, making the other three bikers jump. "You'll not be dueling Pegasus, unless you defeat me in a duel." he said, and Gabriel had no choice but to agree.
"Fine. But don't come crying to me when you lose," Gabriel said, activating her duel disk as Alister activated his.
Raphael groaned. "Do they ever stop? I swear their fighting is worse than yours and Alister's, Valon," Raphael said to Valon, but apparently Valon didn't hear him as he watched them duel.
Gabriel: 4000
Alister: 4000
"Ladies first! I draw!" Gabriel said, drawing a card. "I summon The Agent of Creation-Venus (ATK: 1600/ DEF:0) in attack mode, then I place two cards face-down, and end my turn." she said, smiling confidently.
Alister sneered. "Pathetic. Look at this. I summon Garlog(ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000) in attack mode." Alister said, as a red beast with fire mane and sword appeared next to him. "And then his effect activates, for every Fire monster on the field he gains 500 ATK which raises his ATK to 1500!" Alister explained and Gabriel seemed a bit amazed.
"My Venus is still stronger!" Gabriel reminded him, but he only smirked.
"We'll arrange that, but first I place one card-face down and end my turn." Alister said, crossing his arms.
Gabriel smiled. "I draw." she said drawing her card calmly.
"Ya know Gabby, 'is innocent act is freakin me." Valon said sheepishly. That made Gabriel's smile widens.
She grinned. "Now to make a good move. I summon The Agent of Mystery-Earth(ATK: 1000/DEF: 800) in attack mode. And I activate it's effect. When I normal summon The Agent of Mystery I can add one 'The Agent' from my deck to my hand." Gabriel said, smiling happily. Adding a card from her deck to her hand she said, "Now, I'll attack! The Agent of Creation attack his Garlog!" Gabriel commanded. The Agent of Creation threw magic balls at Garlog and Garlog was turned into pixels.
"Now, The Agent of Mystery attack his life points directly!" She commanded, and The Agent of Mystery flew over to Alister, then casted a spell on him making him feel dizzy before returning next to Gabriel.
Gabriel: 4000
Alister: 2900
Alister shook his head, getting his conscious back. He glared at Gabriel angrily, before drawing his card. "I summon Garlog in attack mode, and I activate his effect. For every Fire monster on the field he gain 500 ATK!" Alister said, and Garlog's ATK rose up to 1500.
"Again?" Gabriel shrieked not highly but it made Valon cover his ears. Raphael just watched with annoyance written over his face. Was it too much to ask for a little bit of quiet so he can read?
He looked over to Valon and saw that the Australian had made a bowl of popcorn.
How did he make that so fast? he asked himself.
"Yes, and this time, I'll attack! Garlog, attack her Agent of Mystery!" Alister commanded, and Garlog ran to The Agent of Mystery and slashed her.
Agent of Mystery screeched before turning into pixels. In a matter of seconds, The Agent of Mystery reappeared but on Alister's side of the field with fire covering her.
Gabriel's eyes widened. "What?" she exclaimed.
Alister smirked. "When Garlog defeats a monster in a battle and sends it to the graveyard, his effect activates. I can special summon the monster Garlog defeated at the end of the battle phase, and it turns into a Fire monster, giving Garlog another 500 ATK!" Alister said, while Gabriel was lost in her thoughts.
"I end my turn." Alister said, cutting Gabriel's train of thoughts.
Gabriel: 3500
Alister: 2900
Gabriel looked at her cards before smirking, then she drew a card. "Well, if you don't have any plans, you won't survive my next hit. I activate the trap card A Rival Appears, that ca-" she didn't finish her sentence as Alister interrupted.
"I activate my trap card Royal Decree." he said with a smirk making Gabriel huff.
"I tribute my Agent of Creation to summon The Agent of Judgment-Saturn (ATK: 2400/ DEF: 0) in attack mode, then I'll activate Monster Reborn to get back The Agent of Creation-Venus, then I'll attack. Agent of Judgment, attack Garlog!" Gabriel commanded.
Alister groaned quietly as his life points dropped and his monsters were turned into pixels.
"Now! Agent of Creation attack his life points directly!" Gabriel commanded.
Alister was thrown back and he landed on his face.
Gabriel: 3500
Alister: 900
"I end my tu-" Raphael interrupted Gabriel.
"Enough! I can't take it anymore!" he said, getting up from his chair, before carrying Gabriel and throwing her on his shoulder. "This duel is over!" he said, taking Gabriel back to her room. The monsters on the field disappeared.
Alister's eyes widened.
"Wait, we don' know who won!" Valon said, hurrying behind Raphael.
"Gabriel won. I said to flip a coin, not to have a duel!" Raphael said, opening Gabriel's room, and throwing Gabriel on her bed. "Pack your things, you'll be duel Pegasus." And with that, the blond biker left the room.
'What did just happen?'
