Hello there guys! As I promised, I'm continuing with re-upload. Big thanks to my new beta reader and my dear friend SR or Silente Radioacti for making this chapter possible.

As I was correcting my mistakes I actually cringed at some things, but I hopefully got a bit better.

Few AUTHOR NOTES before you start reading:

- Most of cards in Eriza's and Alexia's deck are made up just for the sake of this fanfic.

- I do not own nor Sailor Moon nor YuGiOh, they belong to their respectful creators.

Anyway, hope you'll enjoy your read!

YAMI AND HIKARI

Next day, Eriza just came back from school when the phone rang. While she was going down the stairs, she thought about Alexias' threat.

Day was normal and nothing unusual didn't happen. ChibiChibi was acting crazy, as usual. Eriza had a normal day with her friends. Her grandma was at the book store and Alix was all right. Just in case, Eriza took her deck with her to school if Alexia tried to steal it when she is not around.

Phone was ringing for a very long time before Eriza had picked it up:

- Hello? – she asked, but there was no answer. She repeated herself when she heard mean and resonant giggle on the other side of the line. Eriza squeezed the phone in her hand, knowing exactly who was it:

- What do you want?

- This kitty of yours is very cuddly. Did you know that Selena was the Moon goddess in Ancient Greece?

Eriza sighed in disbelief and growled:

- Alexia, you snake, what have you done to her?!

- Nothing yet. Oh, and your brother and grandmother are safe... at least for now. Of course, nothing will happened if you hand over that deck of yours. In one hour at my house, - with that, the line went dead.

There was no time to lose. Eriza had to act quickly. She grabbed her jacket and fled out from the house. While she was running down the street, ChibiChibi appeared on Erizas' shoulder, confused:

What just happened?

- No... time... for... talking. Alexia... kidnapped Selena. Grandma and … Alix are in... danger!

Stepping around the corner she bumped into her friends who were on their way from school. Arika stopped upset Eriza who was shaking from fear and frustration.

- Eri, what's wrong?!

Eriza told them everything in one breath and girls looked at each other in shock. Andoria said with determination:

- We'll go with you! No way is she getting away with this!

Arika and Shantell nodded, when suddenly a big black limousine stopped in front of them. A driver came out, bowed and said with polite British accent:

- My mistress is expecting you, young ladies. Please, come with me.

He opened the door of the car. Girls looked at each other and, after a moment of silence, entered the car.

Girls studied interior of the limo with astonishment, but Eriza was to nervous to enjoy the ride. After twenty minutes, they arrived in front of huge mansion surrounded by huge garden and high metal fence. The driver opened the double doors and girls entered the house. Inside the house, everything was modern and big, but than girls noticed Alexia on top of the stairs. Little girl with ponytails in dark blue and pink school uniform stood by her side, obviously her little sister, Victoria Roxelani. The girl didn't look very happy, but she had to hold her mouth shut. She carried the cage where the black and white cat, Selena, was sealed.

- You came really fast. Does it mean we have a deal?

When Eriza bowed her head in defeat, ChibiChibi decisively said:

You must not give up! Duel with her! Teach her a lesson!

Are you nuts?! Me, to duel her?! She'll kick my ass!

She won't! You're a great duelist and the Moon is on your side! Believe me!

What does the Moon has to do with it?

Eriza didn't know what to think, but she had to do something to stop Alexia. At last, Eriza swallowed hardly and said:

- We don't have a deal! We'll duel for my deck!

Alexia started to laugh hysterically while Arika, Shantell and Andoria stared at Eriza in disbelief.

- Are you crazy?! How could you beat me!? - said Alexia while laughing.

- If you're so sure that you'll win, what's the problem? – Eriza replied while climbing the stairs. After short time, Alexia stopped laughing and nodded with an arrogant smirk. She gestured to Eriza to follow her in a hall on top of the stairs.

- Let your cheerleaders stay out, I don't need their squealing.

Arika and Andoria wanted to oppose, but Eriza stopped by raising her hand up and casting them a quick smile.

. Girls stopped and nodded, showing thumbs up.

While climbing the stairs, ChibiChibi appeared next to Erizas head. It's showtime! Now just say Moonlight power, activate!

Eriza lifted her hand and said those three words out loud. Garnet around her neck started to glow and that caused Alexia to turn her head in Erizas direction.

Wait, something is different...

Eriza was dressed differently than before: her black shirt and pants were replaced with white dress that reached her knees and with two shallow sidewards and with long, trapeze sleeves. Her black sneakers were replaced with black boots that reached under her knees. She wore black belt around her hips and a smaller belt around her neck. Her ponytails were now colored in hot pink and had heart-shaped buns on top of them. Her usually sad pink eyes now were blue and cheerful. She was also a few centimeters taller than usual and her face expression was bright and cheerful.

- So, rich girl, are we going to duel or what?

Even her voice had changed. Now it was higher and much more determined. That really annoyed her.

Alexia then went to one metal locker and opened it. From inside of locker she took two silver and black duel disks that she designed herself. She gave one to Eriza and both of them went on the other side of big hall. When they both put their decks in the hole of the disk, everything was ready.

- Let's duel! - and both of them drew six cards from their decks.

- Since I'm the challenger, I'll start. I summon Vampire Lady in attack mode!

When pale lady in long violet dress appeared on the field, Hikari Eriza, or just Hikari, took a glance at her hand. Not bad for start...

- All right, rich girl, it's showtime! I summon Black Cat Protector Luna in attack mode.

Than suddenly, a cute black cat with brown eyes and gold crescent moon mark on her forehead jumped on the field, more than ready to wipe that vampire out.

-Your vampire has 1400 attack points and my kitty has 1500 points. More than enough to send her back to her coffin!

Luna drew her claws and send toothy lady back where she belonged, on the graveyard. Alexias life points have been reduced from 4000 to 3900, but she didn't even flinch. Hikari shrugged and kept talking:

- Now I'll use Lunas special ability: I can take one Sailor Scout from my deck and add it to my hand. Then I'll put one card face down. That's all!

- Not bad for a beginner, but still not good enough! - said Alexia while drawing a new card from her deck: - Now I summon Legendary Wolf in defense mode. Then, because of her special ability, I can draw a new card from my deck. Also, my Vampire Lady is coming back from the graveyard.

When very well known vampire face showed up next to female wolf with silver fur and blue circle on her forehead, Hikari remembered that there is no use for attacking Vampire Lady since she comes back next turn after she's defeated.

- I'll also put one card face down and end my turn.

She's good, said Eriza when appeared next to Hikari. But she won't scare us!, replied Hikari with confidence.

- All right... Now, I'll discard Shine Aqua Illusion from my hand to the graveyard so I can summon Scout of water and ice, Sailor Mercury!

With sound of splash, a girl with short blue hair and in blue sailor fuku appeared on the field. Her blue boots reached her knees and she had light blue ribbons on her chest and her back.

- Just to mention, while she is on the field, you can't use spell cards. Now, Mercury, attack the wolf!

- Mercury Bubbles... BLAST!- called Mercury with voice as clear as water and froze the wolf immediately. Luckily for Alexia, she was in defense mode.

- Now I'll put Luna in defense mode and use her special ability again...

- Not so fast, girly! You activated my trap, Sight of Sun! Now you have to discard a card you just drew!

I knew she was up to something! Sorry, Mars...thought Hikari sadly while discarding another Sailor Scout to the graveyard. She then ended her turn and Alexia smirked with pleasure:

- I summon Amazon Swords Woman in attach mode! Attack the cat! - when chick with broad shoulders and huge muscles rose her shiny sword, Hikari knew it was time for action:

- Stop, Alexia! I also activate my trap, Promise of Rose! This card prevents your monster from attacking and ends your turn immediately, but I have to send Tuxedo Mask from my hand or deck to the graveyard.

Alexia didn't seem very impressed, but Hikari didn't care at all. She ordered Sailor Mercury to attack Swords Woman. When she was destroyed, Alexia wasn't too much upset and she explained why:

- Even if my Amazon is destroyed, you take the damage because of her special ability.

When Hikaris life points were reduced to 3100, Eriza appeared next to her. You should've predicted this!

Stop panicking! This duel has just begun, Hikari said to calm her down.

- Now I'll use Lunas' special ability again. Then I'll discard Sparkling Wide Pressure from my hand so I can summon Scout of thunder and lightning, Sailor Jupiter!

Next to Sailor Mercury, followed by loud crash of thunder, appeared a tall girl with wavy brown hair tied in ponytail and in green sailor fuku. Her ribbons were pink and she wore short green boots.

- I'll activate her special ability: If she reduces her attack points to half, she can attack you directly! Do it, Jups!

- Jupiter Thunder... Crash!

Alexia was hit with lightning, screaming from pain and terror as her life points were reduced to 2900. When storm passed, Alexia was hunched, but still standing. And obviously furious...

- Next, I'll activate this spell card, Crystal Reborn, which allows me to bring back one Sailor Scout from graveyard. Come forth, Sailor Mars!

With blast of fire, a long-black-haired girl appeared on the field. Her Sailor fuku was red with red and purple ribbons and she wore red high heeled shoes. Hikari then ended her turn.

- It was time already! I draw... - when she took a glance at new card, smirk came back to her face.

- I play Sphynx in attack mode. How I can summon that powerful monster without sacrificing anything, you're wondering? Well, that's because of one of her special abilities. And, believe me, she has plenty of them! Now, attack!

Creature with lion-like body and human head jumped in Lunas direction, but Hikari acted quickly:

- That won't work, Alexia! I activate my trap, Sailor Barrier! If I have a Sailor Scout on the field, your attack is negated!

With face full of frustration, Alexia put Sfinks in defense mode and ended her turn. Hikari took a glance on Alexias side of the field just to see what she can do. Okay, her Sfinks has 2100 defense points and none of my Scouts is not strong enough to destroy her, since all of them have 2000 attack points, but here is her Vampire Lady. It's true she'll come back in her next move, but now I can prevent her to sacrifice her to summon stronger monster.

- Here is my move: I'll activate Lunas' special ability once again. Then, I'll attack your Vampire Lady with Sailor Mercury! - When vampire went froze, Hikari put one card face down and ended her turn.

When Alexia drew a new card, her smile became more wicked than ever:

- Watch and cry: since I drew a spell card, I can activate special ability of my Sfinks. You see, when ever I drew a spell card, Sfinks can destroy one of your monsters. And I choose Sailor Mercury!

Sfinks opened her human mouth and screamed, causing Mercury to disappear in agony.

- Next, I activate Pot of Greed. - when she drew two new cards, she continued explaining:

- Since I drew a monster card, I can reduce your life points for 500 points. I also drew a trap card so I can increase attack points of my Sfinks. Now, my precious creature, attack Sailor Mars!

Oh man, we lost almost half of our life points and she doesn't seem like she'll stop here, said Eriza with panic in her voice. Hikari knew that situation was serious, but they still can win this duel.

- But wait, I'm not done yet! I activate Monster Reborn so I can bring back my Swords Woman. Then, I play Amazoness Tiger. My tiger gets 400 attack points for each Amazoness on the field, including herself. You also can't attack any other monster but her. Now, attack that annoying cat!

- I'm not helpless, you know, rich girl! I activate my trap, Defense Sailor! Now my Sailor Jupiter can defend Luna from your attack and you lose 100 life points.

Alexias expression became cold and emotionless, as always, and she put two cards face down before ending her turn.

She cornered us, we can't attack Sfinks because our Jupiter will be destroyed, and if we attack Swords Woman, we'll take damage. Also these two face down cards make me nervous..., explained Eriza, but Hikari just winked and answered: Calm down already, you know what we must do...

- All right, my turn! I discard Striking Katana from my hand so I can summon Sailor Scout of love and beauty, Sailor Venus!

A beautiful blond girl appeared in the field in orange Sailor fuku with yellow and dark blue ribbons. Her long blond hair was tied with big red ribbon on top of her head and she wore orange ballet shoes with straps around ankles.

- Then I play Stone Sword and giving it to my Venus. That increases her attack points for 500 points. Because of her special ability, I can take one monster from my deck to my hand. Her second special ability allows me to decrease one of your monsters attack points for 500 points, and I choose Sfinks so I can destroy her!

Sailor Venus jumped with sword above her head and with warrior scream on her lips. When she sliced the lion-like creature, Alexias points decreased to 2300. Hikari then used Lunas special ability once again, put one more card face down and ended her turn.

Alexia didn't seemed impressed at all and she drew a new card.

- I play Amazoness Paladin in attack mode. She gains 100 attack points for every Amazoness on the field. Then from my hand I activate trap Amazoness Spellcaster, which allows me to switch points of one monster on my side of the field with one monster on your side of the field, and I choose my Swords Woman and your Sailor Venus!

When rotation was complete, Swords Woman destroyed Sailor Venus with one slice of her huge sword, which reduced Hikaris points to 700.

- I activate my trap, Rose Patel Storm! Since I have Sailor Jupiter on the field, I can use this card to destroy monster which just destroyed one of my monsters! So your Swords Woman goes bye-bye!

- I don't care at all, my Paladin still can destroy your kitty cat!

Blond Amazoness drew her sword and sliced Luna with one stroke. Sorry, Luna..., thought Hikari with one tear in her eye.

We have to do something quickly or we are doomed! Eriza said with frustration, but Hikari didn't seemed very worried. She glanced at her freaked friend telling her in her thoughts:

If there was no Luna, we wouldn't have chance to win this!

Before Eriza could answer on that, Hikari started her move:

- I play White Cat Protector Artemis in defense mode.

A white male cat with blue eyes and same crescent moon mark on his forehead sat in front of Hikari. Alexia seemed pretty annoyed.

- Next I'll use his special ability so I can bring back Sailor Scout from graveyard, and I choose Sailor Venus. Then I'll give her Love Chain which increases her attack for 300 points. Now, attack Paladin!

- Venus Crescent … Beam... Smash!

A beam of yellow light hit Amazoness Paladin directly in the middle of her chest, destroying her immediately.

- All right, I'm enough of you and your stupid Scouts and cats! I draw!

Alexias sudden hysterical laugh gave Hikari chills and she found out why:

- The moment of your demise had come! Soon, your deck will be mine! First, I activate my spell, Sirens Harp, which allows me to brainwash one of your monsters for one turn, and I choose Jupiter.

From the sound of the magical harp, Jupiter was brainwashed in very moment. Eriza knew exactly what she's up to...

- Then I'll sacrifice her together with my Vampire Lady so I can summon my ace monster, all mighty creature from the bottom of the Hell. Prepare yourself for Hellassia – Queen of the Hell!

Both Hikari and Eriza shouted out in shock when blast of fire and smoke covered the field. Eriza knew that she'll use Hellassia in this duel, it was her favorite monster after all...

When the smoke lifted, the eyes of pure horror were staring at her. Creature in front of her was female – like demon with red skin with yellow stripes covering her long lags and hands. She had three fingers on each hand and huge black claws, same on her legs. Her hair was long and black, covered with silver helmet with huge silver spikes. Silver and black armor covered her slender body, and big bony wings came out from her back. She was real hellish creature...

With her 3000 attack points, she is the most powerful creature in game. We're doomed...

Not yet!, said Hikari with courage and determination, but then Alexia declared attack on Venus.

- Venus Love-me … Chain! - declared Venus suddenly.

Then chain with heart-shaped links caught Hellassia for her ankle and stopped her on the spot.

- What's the meaning of this?! - shouted Alexia with surprise.

- It's pretty simple, you know! Once per turn, Sailor Venus can use Love Chain to stop one of monsters that attacks.

Alexia just shook her head and put one card face down for completion of her turn.

- All right, now I'll use Artemis's special ability to bring back Sailor Mars from the graveyard in defense mode. I'll also put Sailor Venus in defense mode.

Hikari then glanced at her hand with tiny smile on her lips.

- Now it's time to bring my ace monster and I can do it since I played Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter once during the game. Now I can summon their leader, the champion of love and justice, Sailor Moon!

Silver flash of light blinded both players and when they opened their eyes, on the field stood girl with blond hair tied in two buns on top of her head and with long ponytails. She also wore sailor fuku, which was blue with hot pink ribbons, and hot pink boots that reached her knees.

- That's your ace monster?! She's too weak for Hellassia, who now has 200 more attack points because of my Vampire Lady on the graveyard.

Hikari frowned and put one card face down to end the turn. When Alexia drew a new card, she said:

- Maybe I can't play trap cards because of your Sailor Mars, but it doesn't matter. Now I play Amazoness Chain Master. Now, destroy the cat!

Venus then used her Love Chain once again, but Alexia smirked and shouted:

- You can't use same trick on me twice! I attacked on purpose so Hellassia can attack Sailor Moon! This duel is over!

- Not so fast, missy! I activate my trap, Full Moon! It reduced Hellassias attack to the half. Now, Sailor Moon, counterattack!

- Moon Tiara... Magic!

The golden tiara hit Hellassia right into her chest, cutting her into a half and sending her to the graveyard with frightening scream. That attack reduced Alexias life points to 900, but she didn't seemed much worried about it.

- Then I'll activate this spell card: Fresh Blood, and it works like this: since Vampire Lady is on the graveyard, I can use this card to transfer her special ability to one monster that's just been destroyed, which means my Hellassia will came back on the field when I end my turn. That shall end my turn. Draw your last card if you dare! Soon, your deck will be mine and I'll be better master than you would ever be!

She's right, I shouldn't start this in the first place! I'll loose...,said Eriza with bowed head, but then Hikari shouted:

Eriza, listen to me, you're not gonna loose! Because of your brain and your knowledge of the game, we manage to get this far, I'm here just to give you confidence and courage. You just need to have a little more faith in your deck and your skills and you'll be able to draw card you need to win this. Let's go for it, together!

Eriza watched Hikari with surprise, and then finally smiled and nodded. Right then Hellassia appeared on the field, in all her glory.

Then both Eriza and Hikari put their hands on the top of the deck and drew a new card. From first, Hikari couldn't look at the card, but when she looked the card, her smile became confident and determined.

- Now I put all my monsters in attack mode!

- I see, we became desperate.

- You see wrong, missy. Watch this: I play Moon Wand. That increases Sailor Moon's attack for 500 points..

- That's still not enough to beat Hellassia!

- I wasn't finished yet! I will not attack you with her, I have something better in mind... – said Hikari with naughty smirk

- You see, whenever Sailor Moon holds Moon Wand, she can reduce one monsters attack strength to zero.

- Impossible! - shouted Alexia with horror on her face.

- Now, do it, my moon friend!

- Moon Healing... Activation!

The silver circle of light surrounded Hellassia, draining her strength. When Sailor Moon ended her attack, Hellassia was bowed and skinny, totally without energy to stand. Alexias face was filled with horror and disbelief, but Hikari noticed that her eyes became darker with red glint. What the...

- Now I'll destroy rest of your life points with Sailor Mars. Now, finish this duel!

- Mars Fire... Ignite!

- NOOOOOO! - screamed Alexia, falling on her knees and holding her head with her hands. Hellassia was turned into ashes. Duel was over.

They won. They actually won?! She then caught a look from Sailor Moon, who was still on the field. The blonde winked and disappeared before Hikari could react on that. Erizas' spirit then appeared next to Hikari who smiled at her friend childishly.

Eriza still couldn't believe that she won against first rated female duelist in the world, but she wouldn't be able to do that without ChibiChibi. It's because of her that she had enough courage to start this all thing. She maybe was annoying spirit, but she knew how encourage someone.

Hikari crossed the hall and lent Alexia a hand so she can stand up:

- Come on, rich girl, it's not like the end of the world...

Alexia suddenly rose her head and looked at Hikari with eyes full of hatred which cause her to make one step back. Not only her eyes were full of rage, but were red instead usual blue.

So that's the presence I felt during the duel, thought Hikari when her garnet started to heat up.

- It's not possible that YOU won! Simply NOT! FILTHY CHEATER! - screamed hysterically Alexia while writhing from fury. Hikari took another step back, rose her hand and pointed to Alexias' forehead.

- Your greed and arrogance have turned into a demon that now eats you from within. You don't appreciate nor game nor your opponents, but I'll help you to change it, and I'll do it NOW!

Hikaris' voice then became stronger and her long hair started to float around her. The gold crescent moon mark appeared on her forehead, glowing so strong that it blinded Alexia.

- Evil spirit... BE GONE! - shouted Hikari with her strong voice and now glowing blue eyes.

Then something broke within Alexia, like two souls were separated from one another. A black shadow came out from her mouth, screaming in agony and disappeared. Alexia fell on her knees once again while catching her breath. Her little sister, Victoria, ran to her so she could help her stand up. In order to comfort scared girl, Hikari smiled and said:

- Your sister will be fine, don't worry. - and winked.

A girl had tears in her eyes, but she nodded and smiled at Hikari who was leaving the hall. When she stand on top of the huge stairs, Eriza took control over her body again and was in her old black clothes. ChibiChibi appeared on her shoulder, giggling again:

For this, I want a milkshake!, said ChibiChibi causing Eriza to shook her head in annoyance. Arika, Shantell and Andoria were standing at the bottom of the stairs with Selena in Shantells' arms. Shouts of approval came to Erizas ears, but she didn't heard them at all. She was euphoric because of the triumph, but she had some bad feeling that with this victory she caused even more trouble...

Sailor Moon was just in the middle of attack when suddenly her brooch opened and glowed. Then instead of her sailor fuku the hot pink ribbons appeared floating around her, causing her transformation backward. She could only watch all this in horror.

When in the end she didn't know what to do, she screamed in despair...

- NOOO! - Serena suddenly screamed and sat in her bed, with tears in her eyes, squeezing Luna, her black cat, in her arms.

- Serena! Wake up! Wa-ke up! - said Luna with anger in her voice, scratching Serena so she would let her breathe. Serena opened her blue eyes, seeing that she is still in her room, in her cozy bad. But she was very upset because of that nightmare of hers. She was still shaking and her forehead was sweaty.

- Serena, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? - asked a black talking cat.

- It felt so real... - whispered Serena, suddenly rising her pillow to find her red heart-shaped brooch. When she opened it, everything was normal, but something about the Silver Crystal was different... It didn't shine as usual, but maybe that was just her imagination...

- Will you finally tell me what's wrong? You're pale!

- Luna, do you think that Silver Crystal had lost his shine?

Luna stared at brooch for some time and then shook her head with confusion on her face.

- Everything is fine. Why that question so suddenly?

- Because I dreamed that I lost my powers! - shouted Serena, still upset. That surprised Maurian, but she didn't know what to think about it. Maybe it's nothing, but maybe...

- Try to calm down and sleep, then will discuss about this tomorrow with other Scouts. Maybe it's nothing...

- I can't sleep now! I became hungry from this stress! - said Serena and jumped out of her bad, tossing her pillow and blanket on the floor. When she ran out from the room, Luna removed the blanket from her head with anime sweat drop on her head. Even a nightmare can't prevent his girl from eating...

That would be all folks! Hope you enjoyed it! I'll continue to re-upload and hopefully attract more readers.

As for continuation of the fic, expect it very soon.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
