It was late at night, past curfew. Aaron was walking down the halls of the school constantly looking over his shoulder. The lights were off in the building. He snuck past one of the hall monitors quickly backing up against the wall when they walked by. He used the dimmest setting on his duel disk's flashlight to look at the sign on the door in front of him. Undercover Agents/ Theatre Department Dressing Rooms. He started picking the lock very carefully hearing a click when the door unlocked. Aaron walked inside closing the door behind him. He turned on the lights. The room was filled with racks of clothes, makeup tables, cabinets containing various items including duel disks, and a desk with a computer and printer sat at one of the corners.

He walked over to a rack of clothes and started looking through them not knowing where to begin. "Need help?" Sara asked standing beside Aaron making him jump a little.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Zane told me about the map he gave you. I just decided to follow you and see what happens." She was resting her hand on one of the racks. "So, you want me to help you go undercover?"

"I don't know." Aaron sighed putting his hands on his head.

"I could make you into a really pretty girl. Cross-dress disguises are my specialty." Sara had a smile on her face as she playfully tried to tie a ribbon in Aaron's hair.

He quickly brushed it off. "I just need something that will keep me from being recognized."

"And no one would expect a cute girl to be you." Sara grabbed a short dress off the rack. "Of course, we might have to shave your legs for this one."

"Let's stay away from those disguises." Aaron said looking at a leather jacket.

"Commons can't afford nice leather like that. You need something more like this." Sara was holding up an old letterman jacket from Duel Academy. "Combo up with some blue jeans, high tops, and a cap. It's low key and easy." She came back with a pair of blue jeans in his size, a pair of black high tops, and a black, snapback hat with a Key Mouse on the front. "Final touch." Sara grabbed a red duel disk off the rack. "It looks ordinary, but it does everything a Sector Security disk does."

"Thanks for all of this." Aaron said taking all of the clothes from her.

"No problem. Now, let's get out of here." Sara opened the door waiting for Aaron to follow her out.

A few nights later…

It was Saturday night. Aaron finished slipping on his undercover clothes. He grabbed the map from his desk and snuck out of the building. He caught a bus to the center of the city. Aaron did not get much free time to be out on his own. He did not really get to see much of the city, especially at night. He started walking towards one of the hotels. He walked inside very cautiously, constantly looking over his shoulder. He pushed the button on the elevator tapping his foot anxiously until it came. Once it arrived, he stepped inside and immediately closed the door. He pulled out his map and started following the instructions on the screen. He pushed the button for the sixth floor three times, the door close button four times, the second floor button once, the ground floor button once, and the basement button five times. The floor indicator at the top of the screen beeped a few times and had an arrow pointed down with no floor indicated. The elevator started moving down lower than any floors specified on the wall.

When the elevator stopped and the doors opened, Aaron was hit with the sounds of shouting and engines revving. He was in the stands of an underground duel club. He shifted through the crowd until he found a seat that he could watch from. He looked around seeing a duel go on. Everyone here seemed happy to Aaron. He then spotted a man in a large, white fur coat sitting up front watching the duel with a smile on his face. He looked up and saw a glass window. People in suits and dresses sat in a luxury booth watching the duel. Aaron knew they were Tops looking for entertainment and possibly a duelist to sponsor in a cup. He watched the duel intently seeing the heart that the duelists were using along with their strategies; they seemed to make up for some of the cards they were using.

There was a Sector Security agent standing in the Top's lounge. He had a pin on his lapel identifying him. He looked out into the crowd and looked down at his duel disk. He stepped off to the side and patched in a call to the headquarters. An agent picked up on the other end. "What do you need?"

"Are there any undercover agents authorized at the Neo Hotel Duel Club in the City Center?"

"There are not." The agent said looking at the screen in front of them.

"Patch me to Director Roget. Something isn't right here."

"One moment please." The agent said pressing several keys on their computer.

"Roget here." Roget said a bit irritated. "This better be good."

"I have an unauthorized undercover agent at the Neo Hotel Duel Club."

"Do you know who?"

"No sir."

"Hold on, let me search the duel disks in the area." He looked to one of his aides who started typing on their computer.

"The duel disk is registered to the Sector Security Junior Academy, sir."

"That is interesting." Roget played with a chess piece in his hand. "I think I have a suspicion of who it is. I'm just going to have to plan my next move very carefully."

"Should I extract them, sir?" The agent asked.

"No, no. It's probably just a curious student wondering about the world. Dismissed." Roget hung up the phone. "Planning my next move." He chuckled to himself placing three pawns on his chessboard along with a king piece on the opposing side. "The first move will be a slow start, a preparation." He advanced his piece, the king, forward.

…

A week since the trip to the underground duel club had passed. Classes had ended for the day. As soon as the final bell rang, Aaron, Sara, and Zane's duel disks beeped with a message alert. "We're wanted in the dean's office." Zane said reading the message out loud.

"They sent an escort." Sara said looking at the two high-ranking students waiting for them at the door.

"What did you do?" Zane whispered nudging Aaron.

"Nothing, I put all that stuff back. No one followed me."

"Cleaned up the clothes. They shouldn't have a trace of Aaron." Sara said.

"Ready to go." The two students said walking over to the group.

"I don't think we have a choice." Zane muttered under his breath. They started walking out of the room heading for the dean's office.

As they walked into the administration room, they were motioned towards the dean's office. The group walked inside. However, the dean was not sitting at his desk, Director Roget was. "Please, take a seat. Get comfortable." The group all stood frozen not having seen the director in person before. Simultaneously they saluted him. He smiled. "At ease. Take a seat. Relax." The group did as they were told relaxing slightly. "All of you have shown extraordinary progress. You show top marks in your respective specialties. Anyway, time to get down to business." He reached into his pocket producing three embroidered envelopes each sealed with a red bow. "I'm hosting a party next week, and I am inviting you three personally. You will find the details in these envelopes, I will supply proper attire for this event, and I will send a car to pick you up. I look forward to seeing you there." He smiled at the group before exiting from the room.

Aaron, Sara, and Zane all looked at each other and then the envelopes in their hands.
