~Sabrina~

I continue to stare at the man who is still sitting on his motorcycle. "I don't have time for your games." I say.

He then gets off of his bike, "It won't take long. Your soul might be an easy capture." He says.

"Who are you?"

He removes his helmet and sets it down on the seat of his bike. His hair is dark brown and rather messy, but still somehow looks neat. He has hazel eyes and wears usual biker clothing like the rest of those guys. I notice that he has one of those Orichalcos stones around his neck. He looks to be about one or two years older than me, and I guess he could be considered rather attractive. "I suppose you deserve to know the name of the person who defeated you. The name's Lucas." He says.

"Okay Lucas, and what will happen if I refuse your offer to duel me?" I say.

"Would you like seeing your friend's dead?" he says as he leans against his bike.

I can't argue with that. "Fine, I'll play your game. Just leave the rest of my friends alone."

"We'll see what happens."

"Sabrina, I'm taking over. This guy is too dangerous." Ari says.

"No, don't. I can't explain it, but something is telling me to duel this guy on my own." I say.

"You sure?"

"I'm positive. Don't worry Ari, I'll be fine."

She nods and then goes back inside the Pendant. "Who gets the first move Lucas?" I ask as both of our Duel Disks transform. He has that same one that Mai and those other guys were wearing.

"I'll take the first move." He says drawing, "And I play the Seal of Orichalcos!"

The Seal forms around us and the stakes just got raised. "I'll end my turn." Lucas says.

My hand contains; Dark Magician, Fairy Witch, Zero Gravity, Curse of Dragon, Mirror Force and Hinotama. "Okay, I set two cards face-down and then activate Hinotama! I'll also place a monster in defense mode. Your move." I say.

Lucas is down to 3500 Life Points. "I summon Rasetsu in attack mode! Then I equip him with Orb of Yasaka! Rasetsu, attack her face-down monster!" he says.

"Sorry Lucas, but I activate Mirror Force!" he ends his turn, bringing it back to me. I draw De-Fusion, "I'll sacrifice my face-down monster in order to summon Curse of Dragon! Now Curse of Dragon, attack him directly!"

Lucas is down to 1500. "You're going to lose at this rate, Lucas. Why would you even challenge me out of all people?" I ask.

"You took what I deserved!" he yells.

"How? I've never met you before."

"You would never understand. We shared the same life as mere children, but you got the better life. And I didn't come here to talk, I came to duel! My move! I play Spring of Rebirth, now every time a monster goes to my hand I gain 500 Life Points! Then I'll set one card face-down and summon Izanami in defense mode. Now I can activate her ability, which allows me to add Rasetsu from my Graveyard to my hand. And since it's the end of my turn, Izanami returns to my hand and I gain 500 Life Points."

Lucas is at 2000. "But I don't understand, how can I take something from you when I'm just now meeting you?" I say.

He sighs, "Fine, I'll let you know why you're going to lose this duel. I was in that alleyway, the night that you were found as a baby. I was abandoned, but Solomon Muto found you there, not me! I was found by an orphanage, a place I didn't deserve to be in. People weren't made to be trusted; we were made to betray others. I spent eight years of my life there; until it was finally burned down to the ground and I could start living. The rest of my years were spent on the streets, totally careless. I was eventually found by Dartz, he promised me a world that would be perfect. A world where humans would be treated fairly by everyone. I knew that my destiny then was to join Dartz, and it keeps unfolding as it brings me back to the girl who ruined my life!"

"How did you know it was me? You were probably not even old enough to read the name I had." I say.

"The name circled my mind. It was in my head all the time, but I never knew what it meant. Thinking back, I finally remembered that was your name, the name of the demon eating inside of me. You should have been in that orphanage; I didn't deserve the life I got!"

"Your life isn't my fault. I didn't do anything, it was just chance that I was found and given a family. And maybe is you actually trusted people then you could've gotten a shoot at getting a family."

"I've heard enough! I know what happened and you can't change that, so just make your move."

"Fine," I draw Magician's Valkria, "I summon Magician's Valkria in attack mode! Then I'll use both of my monsters to attack your directly!" I say.

"Activate Mirror Force!"

"Fine, I end my turn."

"I'll summon Rasetsu in attack mode! Now, attack her Life Points directly!"

"Activate Zero Gravity! Now your monster gets changed into defense mode."

"No matter, Rasetsu still goes back to my hand and now I'm back up to 2500 Life Points."

I draw Magician of Faith, "I set a monster and end my turn." I say.

"I'll summon Rasetsu back to the field in attack mode! Now, attack!"

"You activated Magician of Faith's ability. Now I can add Hinotama to my hand before she's destroyed."

Rasetsu goes back to his hand and his Life Points go up to 3000. I draw Divine Queen, "I'll activate Hinotama! Then I'll end my turn."

Lucas is back to 2500. "I summon Izanami in attack mode and have her attack you directly!"

I'm down to 2400. Izanami returns to his hand and he's at 3000 again. I draw Relay Soul and I'm forced to end my turn. "Izanami, come back to the field! Now attack!"

I'm down to 800. Lucas gains another 500 Life Points from Izanami's effect and now he's at 3500. At this rate, I'm going to lose, and then suffer the consequences. What can I do at this point? I look down at my deck and then notice that it's glowing. I close my eyes to shield them from the light.

I open them up again to find myself floating above some kind of kingdom. I look to my right to see Ari floating next to me, "Ari, where are we?" I ask.

"I don't know. But that castle down there is calling to me." She says.

As if hearing her, we're both transported inside the castle. I look ahead to see a circular platform with four smaller platforms on it. One of the platforms, however, has a dragon statue on it made of ice. "Is this one of those Legendary Dragons?" I ask.

Ari nods, "Probably, what should we do?"

My eyes wander around the body of the dragon and then I notice a sword stabbed into one of its wings. "Should we pull that out?" I ask.

Ari nods. The two of us float over to it and both grasp the sword. I can feel a powerful energy emitting from the dragon. "I know its name." Ari says.

"Me too. I've never seen this dragon before, but the name came to me just now."

"Ready?" Ari says.

I nod and we both begin to pull on it. The word is pretty dug down deep in there, so it doesn't budge, but the more we pull on it, more ice cracks around it. The sword finally comes free and I toss it to the ground. The ice begins to crack even more and then all of the ice bursts into thin air.

Left behind, is a silver dragon with violet eyes. I notice one of its wings is torn up, so it may not be able to fly. "We've released the Wing of Ion." Ari says.

~Ari~

I blink and when I open my eyes I'm back at the duel. Lucas didn't seem to notice what was going on. My Deck continues to glow and I draw the Wing of Ion. "Make your move already! I'm ready to end this!" Lucas says.

"Alright Lucas. First, I activate Relay Soul to summon Divine Queen from my hand. And then I'll summon this; the Wing of Ion!" I say.

"T-that's impossible! You don't own that card!"

"I do now. Now I'll fuse Divine Queen and Ion together so I can summon Divine Crystal Dragon! And by using its effect, I can discard one card from my hand to destroy one spell or trap card on the field, and I choose Spring of Rebirth!"

"You'll pay for that!"

"I'm not so sure about that. And now that you're defenseless, Divine Crystal Dragon, attack him directly!"

Lucas is down to 700 Life Points. "Erg… Fine, I activate Soul Exchange!"

"I discard Dark Magician to negate the effect! You're going to lose Lucas; this is what happens when you use revenge as the only answer."

"N-no, I can't lose to you! I'd rather suffer the wrath of Master Dartz than lose my soul to a demon like you!" he yanks the Orichalcos stone from his neck, "Using this stone, I break the Seal!"

He throws the stone against the barrier and the Seal begins to crack. The whole thing then explodes and leaves a plume of smoke in the air. "You coward!" I yell.

When the smoke is starting to clear, I see him riding off on his motorcycle. I'm kind of glad he left though, this means no one has to lose their soul. "Hey, Sabrina!"

I look behind me to see Tristan, Joey, and Duke driving along in Duke's car. Duke stops the car right next to me. "What are you guys doing here?" I ask.

"We went out to search for you and Yugi. Were you dueling someone?" Duke says.

"Yeah, his name was Lucas. But then he just- oh my gosh, Yami! We have to make sure he's alright!"I say, "Can I ride with you guys?"

"Sure, get in the back." Tristan says.

I hop in the back seat next to Joey and Duke starts driving toward Death Valley. I really hope Yami and Yugi are alright.

I'm not sure if Ion sounds like a girl's name, but whatever the name has a nice ring to it. Don't ask me how I came up with the name Lucas, it just came to me. I decided to give Lucas a spirit monster deck because I thought it fit his 'loner' personality. And I know a lot of you guys wanted Sabrina/Ari to get taken by the Seal, but she has to win sometime guys. I'm not sure if I did that great of a job describing Lucas' back-story, but what's done is done.
