*London, England, Rift HeadQuarters 8:00 PM LST*

Clyde Edwards, the head of the Rift organization sat at his desk simply sitting and pondering.

Edwards: I can't stand those imbeciles failing me anymore! I need to send more competent men to get that Knightley girl!

Edwards then looks at the card on his desk, which was White Rose Paladin.

Edwards: What is so special about this card anyway?

Meanwhile, in New Domino City, Nick, May and Crow were sitting in a park across the street from a high-security building and they had a radio on. Alice and Cyla were not there with them.

Radio: What did we just witness here, folks? ! The duel between dueling champ Jack Atlas and a mysterious dark rider and the destruction of the highway has left people frenzied! Luckily, the dueling champ Atlas is all right and not hurt!

Crow: Damn!

Crow turns off the radio and hands Nick money.

Nick: Never gamble what you're about to lose.

May: You boys bet over the stupidest stuff.

Crow and Nick paused for a moment, and then Nick reluctantly gave Crow $5.

Crow: I told you she'd say that!

May smacks herself in the forehead and then Alice and Cyla returned.

Nick: Okay, how's the security in the place?

Cyla: We can't tell from out here and we can't go in without being suspicious.

Crow: I think I know a way. They got safety deposit boxes out there, right?

Alice: Yeah, they wrap everything in a box so nobody can steal it. It doesn't work, though.

Crow: That's good enough!

Later, Crow entered the building's security office delivering his chicken.

Crow: Special delivery!

A guard came up, grabbed the chicken and was about to pay Crow. The Same access they give to High Clearance Officials can be also be obtained by a delivery boy. Saying, "Special Delivery" grants you access to these Areas with less background checks…plus ya get tip.

Crow: Thanks, now let's see…

After Crow got his tip, he was handing out the food, he could see everything on the monitors and he saw all sorts of Security the place had.

Crow: See ya guys around.

Crow Left and returned to the group across the street.

Nick: How bad is it?

Crow: Oh we're screwed!

Nick: For real?

Crow: Yeah, there's no way we're getting into those security boxes.

Cyla: Unless we know a guy from Sector Security we can trust.

Crow: … I might know a guy.

*Fort Worth, Texas, Alamo Bowl Stadium*

Team Rose had just arrived at the stadium and were prepared to duel Team Templar. In the distance, they could see a giant NDC Duel Tower that had just been constructed and it was ready to be activated for this duel. Ali was sitting on a bench just relaxing. She closed her eyes for a moment and then Makoto sat next to her. She was holding one of the books they used to research the Rose Guardian history.

Makoto: Hey, Ali, you've got to see this.

Ali kept her eyes closed as Makoto opened the book to a specific page.

Makoto: You remember Colin saying something about Atticus? Well, apparently he and Joan de Leblanc were supposedly… lovers!

Ali's eyes opened and she looked over at Makoto.

Ali: How is that possibly relevant?

Makoto: Well, it's not, but isn't it cool that we know that now?

Ali: Not really.

Makoto: Oh, come on! Just watch!

Makoto's Rose mark began to glow and a small vision appeared right in front of the book for them both to see. They see a small image of young Joan looking incredibly lovely. She was sitting around a room just waiting.

Makoto: This is amazing! You two DO look alike!

There was a knock at the door and Joan went to open the door and Atticus stood there.

Ali: That's Atticus Huh?

Ali and Makoto saw the 2 embrace in a loving manner. It was a sweet tender moment between the two.

Ali: Wow, that's kinda nice…

Makoto saw a smile across Ali's face, but then she had to close the book and the vision disappeared.

Makoto: I'm afraid that's all I can show. There's no more revealed in the book.

Ali: Oh…ok.

Makoto: Aww, Ali's Lonely.

Ali: What?

Makoto: It's okay. I'm lonely too!

Makoto hugs Ali and Ali felt uncomfortable with their hug and then Krystal came by them.

Krystal: Awwww, you Guys!

Krystal then hugged the both of them.

Krystal: This is so nice! Just us single girls!

Ali: Um, can the two of you let go of me?

The girls finished their hugging and then they met up with Chris, who was on a computer, and Derek.

Derek: Oh, perfect timing, girls! Team Templar, they suck! They are the worst team out there! This duel will be over in 5 minutes!

Chris: Huh, this is interesting.

Derek: What's interesting?

Chris: It seems they switched out their decks for a new archetype.

Derek: What archetype?

Chris: Ever hear of the Shadow Knight cards?

Krystal, Ali and Makoto: Shadow Knights? !

Ali then stormed off somewhere and she found Colin speaking with Rita.

Colin: -and so they're building the sand castle and the little girl comes behind the guy with a crab and, well you can only imagine.

Rita: Ouch.

Ali then went up to Colin and pushed him against the wall forcefully.

Rita: Ali, what the hell are you doing? !

Colin: Hey, I like forceful women, but not in front of Rita, all right?

Ali: Knossoss, I know you can hear me in there!

Colin looked confused as Krystal and Makoto just showed up.

Ali: What happened to your Shadow Knights, Knossoss? ! Tell me!

Knossoss (Colin's mind): What the hell is she talking about?

Colin: I don't know. Ali, what are you talking about?

Krystal: We just saw the cards Team Templar is gonna use in our duel! Their decks are built around the Shadow Knight cards!

Knossoss (cm): They're what? !

Ali: Yeah, and I just know that Knossoss has something to do with this!

Knossoss (cm): You tell that bitch I have no idea what happened to my knights! When I was destroyed, they all scattered! That's the value of loyalty for you!

Colin: … Yeah, he has no idea.

Ali: Bullshit!

Ali then pulls out her sword and holds it to Colin's neck.

Colin: Hey, don't take this out on me!

Rita: Ali, just calm down.

Ali: Do you remember dueling those things? Those cards could have killed us.

Knossoss (cm): And trust me, I tried.

?: And that's why I bought it for them.

A Spanish accent filled the room, the group turned over to a man in a suit that had a sinister smirk across his face.

Krystal: Delgado!

Delgado: That's right, Princess. Jose Delgado! You may take your pictures now.

Krystal: What the HELL are you doing here?

Delgado: Well when I heard that Team Templar would be dueling Team Rose, I had to help those poor kids. So, I bought them a bunch of new cards to help.

Ali: Shadow Knight cards?

Delgado: I have a friend, who has a friend, who has a friend, who has a friend who works at Industrial Illusions and he has made cheap copies of those cards that monster used during the World Tournament.

Knossoss (cm): That Fool! He is messing with forces he can't control!

Delgado: And the best part is we have a Handicap Duel later.

Krystal: What?

Delgado: That's right, Princess! The NDC sanctioned this to be 1 vs. 3 match! That means Ms. Skyler must take on all of Team Templar!

Krystal: BULLSHIT! The NDC can't sanction that match!

Delgado: Of course they can! Mr. Ringford sanctioned it as such! Oh, and if you lose OR decide to pull out of the duel, Team Templar gets your Templar Knight card vous petite Chienne!

Krystal punched him in the face and he stumbled down and he walked out cursing them.

Krystal: That Ass! Damn it! I have no choice now, do I?

Rita: Sure you do, you can choose to beat Team Templar fast and hard OR choose to make them suffer.

Makoto: Rita, she has to duel 3 duelists on her own. It won't be easy.

Rita: Hey, Krystal ain't gonna lose! Especially with these stakes!

Krystal: She's right, let's get this started!

Krystal made her way to the dueling arena where all the fans cheered for her entrance. Isaac Harlson was ready to duel her.

Isaac (LP 4000): Just surrender your Templar Knight now and we'll avoid this embarrassment for you!

Krystal (LP 12000): Bite me!

Both: Duel!

Krystal: *draws* I summon Comrade Swordsman of Landstar (Lv.3 500/1200) in defense mode! Then I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn!

Isaac: *draws* I summon Shadow Knight Hoplon (Lv.4 1700/1400)! And when he's summoned I can Special Summon Shadow Knight Dori (Lv.4 1600/1000)! And now Shadow Knight Dori will attack your Swordsman of Landstar!

Dori thrust his spear through Comrade Swordsman of Landstar and destroyed him, inflicting 400 points of damage to Krystal.

Isaac: Now Hoplon will attack you directly!

Krystal (LP 11600): I activate the Trap A Hero Emerges! When you declare a direct attack, you choose a card in my hand and if it's a monster, it's summoned!

Isaac: All right then, the middle card!

Krystal: I summon Jack's Knight (Lv.5 1900/1000)!

Jack's Knight emerged and slashed the attacking Hoplon, breaking his shield and destroying the Shadow Knight, inflicting 200 points of damage to Isaac.

Isaac (LP 3800): Grr! I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!

Krystal: *draws* I summon Marauding Captain (Lv.3 1200/400)! And when he's Normal Summoned, I can summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my hand and I choose Makyura the Destructor (Lv.4 1600/1200)! Then I activate my face-down Limit Reverse to bring back Comrade Swordsman of Landstar! Then I'll tune Comrade Swordsman of Landstar with Marauding Captain to summon a monster who fights for everything that is good and just! I Synchro Summon Chivalrous Knight (Lv.6 2400/2000)!

Chivalrous Knight appeared in a holy light and kneeled before Krystal.

Krystal: Arise, my knight!

Chivalrous Knight rose to his feet and turned to face the dreaded Shadow Knight.

Krystal: And now Chivalrous Knight will attack Shadow Knight Dori!

Dori thrust his spear at Chivalrous Knight, but he deflected with his shield. Dori then thrust his spear at him again, this time Chivalrous Knight caught the spear between his shield and arm, trapping it. He then thrust his sword to break the spear and then swings it across Dori's chest, destroying him and inflicting 800 points of damage to Isaac.

Krystal: And now my other monsters will attack you directly!

Isaac (LP 3000): I activate my Trap Card Knight's Shadow! This allows me to summon the Dark Tuner monster Shadow Knight Shadow (Lv.11 0/?)!

Shadow was a blob of darkness with no discernable true form.

Isaac: And his defense becomes equal to the attack of the monster that just attacked, so that's 2400 defense points!

Krystal: Stop your attacks!

All of Krystal's monsters stopped their attacks and returned to her side of the field. Colin and the others were in the stands and he could hear Knossoss chuckling in the back of his mind.

Colin: Knossoss? What is that?

Knossoss (cm): That is the key to your friend's death right there! Those fools have no idea of what they plan to awaken!

Krystal: I'll end my turn with one card face-down!

Isaac: *draws* I summon Shadow Knight Peasant (Lv.1 0/0)!

A person wearing ragged clothing appeared on the field.

Isaac: If I want to use him as Synchro Material, I need to pay 1000 Life Points! So I pay those Life Points so I can tune Shadow with Peasant!

Shadow turned into 11 dark orbs that infiltrated the soul of Peasant and then 10 dark orbs came out of both of them.

Isaac (LP 2000): I Dark Synchro Summon Shadow Knight Hydra (Lv.-10 3850/3950)!

A giant, almost dragon-like beast appeared out of the darkness and roared at Krystal.

Krystal: I'm not scared of that thing!

Isaac: Well, you should be! Hydra, attack Makyura!

Hydra spewed venom from its mouth at Makyura, but Chivalrous Knight got in the way and he was destroyed instead, inflicting 1450 points of damage to Krystal.

Isaac: That ends my turn!

Krystal (LP 10150): Since Chivalrous Knight was destroyed, I can add Code of Chivalry to my hand! *draws* I activate the Spell Card Hammer Shot! This destroys the strongest monster on the field, so say goodbye to Hydra!

A giant hammer came out of nowhere and crushed Hyrda's clean off. Two heads started to sprout out of the wound.

Krystal: Wh-What's going on? !

Isaac: If Hydra's destroyed by a card effect, it's not destroyed and I can summon a Hydra Token with most of the same effects and all of its attack and defense points! And you can't destroy Hydra at all until you destroy the Token!

Krystal: Grr! I'll switch both of my monsters to defense mode and end my turn!

Isaac: That won't help you! *draws* 'Cause I activate Dark Hole!

Dark Hole sucked up all the monsters, but Hydra gained two more heads.

Isaac: And if my math is right, this should be enough to wipe you out!

The four heads were ready to spew their venom at Krystal.

Krystal: I activate the Continuous Spell Code of Chivalry! This prevents both players from attacking directly as long as it remains on the field!

Isaac: You're just stalling! I end my turn!

Krystal: *thinks: He's right! I am just stalling!* *draws* First, I activate Pot of Geed to draw 2 more cards! *draws 2 cards* I summon D.D. Warrior Lady (Lv.4 1500/1600)! Then I activate my face-down Waboku! This prevents my monsters from being destroyed or me taking Battle Damage! Now, D.D. Warrior Lady will attack the main Hydra!

D.D. Warrior Lady stabbed her sword into the main head's neck and she just stuck there.

Isaac: Um, is there a point here?

Krystal: Yes, after damage calculation, I can remove both her and the target from play!

Suddenly, both the main Hydra head and D.D. Warrior Lady vanished to another dimension and the Tokens were destroyed.

Krystal: And I'll end my turn with a face-down!

Isaac: *draws* I summon Shadow Knight Minotaur (Lv.4 2200/100) in defense mode and end my turn!

Krystal: *draws*I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Chivalrous Knight! Then he'll attack Minotaur!

Minotaur swings his axe low, but Chivalrous Knight jumps over it and stabs him in the neck, destroying him.

Isaac: Oh well, no big loss.

Krystal: Actually, it's a huge loss because of your Shadow Knight's abilities! You take damage even if they're in defense mode!

Isaac (LP 0): What? !

Krystal (LP 10150): One down…

Isaac went offstage and motioned for his brother, Ray Harlson, to continue the duel.

Ray (LP 4000): All right, bitch! Let's get this over with! *draws* I'll summon Shadow Knight Plasma Cannon (Lv.4 2000/100) in attack mode! Now I activate its effect! By discarding a card from my hand, I can inflict 2000 points of damage to you!

Plasma Cannon fired its plasma cannon at Krystal and she lost 2000 Life Points.

Knossoss (cm): That fool! That strategy will backfire! I guarantee it!

Colin: How so, KK?

Knossoss (cm): Because Plasma-Did you just call me "KK"?

Colin: Yeah.

Knossoss (cm): … You are a strange human being.

Colin: And you're a crazy, evil spirit trying to possess me.

Rita: Uh, Colin, can you stop that? It looks like you're talking to yourself.

Knossoss (cm): Haha! You're in trouble!

Colin: I think I like the old Knossoss better.

Krystal (LP 8150): *draws* Hmmm? I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!

Ray: What? You're not attacking?

Krystal: No, for some reason I have this feeling that's saying I shouldn't.

Ray: Oh, shit! *draws*

Plasma Cannon started to spark a little bit and it semi-exploded and inflicted 2000 points of damage to Ray.

Knossoss (cm): That is just pitiful! The way these men handle my monsters!

Ray (LP 2000): I activate the Spell Cost Down! By discarding a card from my hand, I can lower the Level of all monsters in my hand by 2! Then I'll release Shadow Knight Plasma Cannon to Tribute Summon Shadow Knight Mammoth (Lv.8 2800/2000)!

Knossoss (cm): Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Ugh, I can't stand this!

Colin: Then don't watch.

Ray: And now Mammoth will attack your Knight!

Krystal: I activate the Trap Reinforcements! This increases the attack of one of my monsters by 500 until the End Phase!

Mammoth swung his trunk at Chivalrous Knight, but Chivalrous Knight ducked under and stabbed the massive beast in its underbelly with his sword, killing it and inflicting 100 points of damage to Ray.

Ray (LP 1900): That will end my turn!

Krystal: *draws* I activate my face-down card Emergency Provisions! By sending my Code of Chivalry to the Graveyard, I gain 1000 Life Points! Then I summon Gene-Warped Warwolf (Lv.4 2000/100)! And he'll attack you directly!

Warwolf slashed Ray with his claws, reducing his Life Points to 0.

Krystal (LP 9150): Two down!

Ray went to the sidelines with his brother and saw that Delgado was getting ready to duel.

Delgado: That little puta has made a fool of me for the last time!

Delgado then stepped into the ring and readied his duel disk.

Krystal: You ready for another beatdown! Bring it!

Delgado (LP 4000): *draws* First, I'll activate Graceful Charity to draw 3 cards and discard 2! *draws and discards* Then I'll activate Premature Burial to bring back a card I just discarded at the cost of 800 Life Points! Shadow Knight Chimera (Lv.8 3000/2000)!

A beast with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a snake appeared on Delgado's side of the field.

Delgado (LP 3200): Then I activate his effect! Once per Duel, I can inflict 1000 points of damage for each card in my hand! I have 5! So you take 5000 points of damage!

Chimera's serpent tail breathed fire at Krystal and inflicted her with 5000 points of effect damage.

Delgado: I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn!

Krystal (LP 4150): *draws* I activate Card of Sanctity! This Spell forces us both to draw until we have 6 cards in our hands! *draws 6 cards* Now I'll equip Chivalrous Knight with Chivalrous Sword to increase his power by 1000!

Chivalrous Knight takes up the glowing sword and his attack power jumped to 3400.

Krystal: Now, Chivalrous Knight, destroy that abomination!

Delgado: I activate the Continuous Trap Card Shadow's Hand! When my opponent activates an effect that would increase a monster's attack power, one of my Shadow Knights gains the same amount!

Chimera gained 1000 more attack points and shot a fireball at Chivalrous Knight, destroying him and inflicting Krystal with 600 points of damage.

Krystal (LP 3550): Rggh!

Delgado: Since Chivalrous Sword was destroyed, my monster's attack lowers by twice that amount! In other words, Chimera's attack power is now down to 2000!

Krystal: I'll end my turn with a face-down and a monster face-down in defense mode!

Delgado: *draws* Now I'll activate my face-down Call of the Haunted to bring back the other monster I discarded! Shadow Knight Minotaur (Lv.4 2200/100)!

Krystal: Another one? Ulch! That thing is so ugly!

Delgado: Not as ugly as this! I activate the Spell Raigeki!

Two thunderbolts came down and destroyed both of Krystal's monsters. Her face-down monster was Big-Shield Gardna.

Delgado: And now I'm free to attack you directly!

Krystal: Hold the phone! I activate the Trap Heroic Sacrifice! Since a Warrior was destroyed by a card Effect I can choose and destroy one monster on your side of the field. So Say goodbye to your Minotaur!

A sword flew out of the card Hologram and Struck Minotaur in the chest destroying it. Then Chimera spewed another fireball at Krystal, inflicting her with 2000 points of damage.

Delgado: I am so close to finishing this!

Krystal (LP 2150): *draws* First, I activate Premature Burial to bring back Chivalrous Knight again! Then I summon the Tuner monster Princess Knight (Lv.4 1900/1400)!

Princess Knight was a young lady in a suit of armor with long brown hair and sapphire blue eyes. At a second glance, she looked like Krystal.

Krystal (LP 1350): Isn't she pretty? She's one of the favorite cards I got!

Rita: *thinks: I can't imagine why!*

Krystal: And now I'll tune them together to Synchro Summon Templar Knight (Lv.10 3800/3400)! And now I'll activate his effect and remove your monster from play!

Templar Knight pulled out his huge sword and stabbed Shadow Knight Chimera with it, removing it from play.

Delgado: No, no, no!

Krystal: Yes, yes, yes! Templar Knight! Attack him directly!

Templar Knight swung his giant sword at Delgado, reducing his Life Points to 0.

Knossoss (cm): That man had the complete power of the Shadow Knights at his disposal and he couldn't even use them to his advantage! How shameful and pathetic!

Krystal walked off the stage and sighed with relief.

Krystal: *thinks: I was scared there! I actually thought I was going to lose my knight! Oh well. All's well that ends well, right?*

Back in New Domino City…

The security building had business as usual until a high-ranked Sector Security officer, Officer Tetsu Trudge, came on in and started barking orders.

Trudge: Okay, we need this security system shut down! It's been compromised! We need a complete overhaul check and we need to shut down immediately!

Without hesitation, the security did what Officer Trudge said and shut off all the security cameras and defenses. Trudge then made his way to the back of the building and opened the back door for Crow and Alice Knightley to come in.

Crow: Thanks a lot, Trudge!

Trudge: This makes us even, Crow. You got 20 minutes. I'll be in the front stalling. You do what you need to do and get out.

Trudge then went back to make sure nobody was seeing what they were doing.

Alice: How did you get him to do this for us?

Crow: It's a long story, involving lampshades and pineapples! You know what you need to do?

Alice nodded and went into a room with several computers. She started one up and placed a thumb drive into it.

Alice: This should hack all the data we need and only take a few minutes.

Meanwhile, Trudge was providing a good distraction up front, but then a strange man went through the front doors. He was wearing a trench coat and baseball cap that was lowered to cover his face.

Trudge: Sir, you can't be here! We're on lockdown!

?: Good, no one can get in or out then.

Trudge: Sir, you need to-

The Man then stuck out his palm and a burst of Static Electricity struck Trudge and he fell to the ground Paralyzed. The Man shot Quick bursts around the room paralyzing everyone. Then he continued to the back. Alice's Download took longer than expected, but they heard a PING and it was done and Alice removed the drive.

Alice: Got it!

Crow: Great now lets ge-

ZAaP!

The man had entered the Room and then Zapped Crow with his Static strike making him fall and paralyzing him.

Alice: Crow!

?: Alice Knightly, You will come with me now.

Alice: What did you do to him?

?: I cut off all Electrical Neuron signals to the brain, paralyzing him. In a few Minutes the shutdown will be permanent and he will be brain dead for the rest of his life.

Alice: Reverse it now!

?: I will not!

Alice: You're with Rift aren't you? I'll duel you, and if I win you fix him.

The Man chuckled and removed his coat and hat. His Entire Upper Body was covered in a controlled suit with an Electrical current streaming through it and around his Duel disk. He had a mask to control his breathing over his mouth. He was also bald and had the Rift's Arm band around his arm.

?: Fine, if you win I will reverse the polarity and save your friend and the guards. But if you lose-

Alice: I won't lose!

?: Oh But you will, for you are Dueling Shakocra, and I never lose, girl.
