CHAP. 6-TANNER AND KYLE LOOSE THEIR SOULS

Dylan was in the Shadow Realm, falling. As the wind blew against him, he noticed that Kyle and

Tanner were ahead of him, also falling. Then, Dylan's two friends seemed to fall through some kind of

opening, witch after words left closed. Dylan immediately stopped falling when the hole closed. He

hung there, realizing what had just happened. His friends had been sent to a different side of the Shadow

Realm!

Meanwhile, Tanner and Kyle hit the ground. There eyes closed, they hoped to be on Earth. But

when they did open them, they saw that they had landed on a giant floating rock! The same giant floating

rock that Dylan had dueled on twice before! But they didn't know that. They were paying much more

attention to the boy standing on a fallen pillar above them. The boy was smiling as he gazed upon Kyle and Tanner.

"I know you! Kent, right?" Kyle spoke up.

But then "Kent" replied,

"No. This body's name is Kent. I am Salmar, Exodia pawn #3. And welcome to the Shadow Realm! Where you will duel me!"

"We don't want to duel in the Shadow Realm! If you loose, you get your soul taken away!" Kyle said, remembering what he had heard before.

"Then you'll be stuck here forever! I'm the only way you have out of here! Win, and you'll get out But if you loose, well I think you've already explained that!" Salmar said.

"We have no choice! I guess I'll duel him first" Tanner said.

"No! You two will duel me at the same time!" Salmar explained.

Kyle and Tanner looked at each other, smiled and stood up. Suddenly, their duel disks appeared on their wrists! The duel started!

Meanwhile, Dylan was thinking about what could have happened to Kyle and Tanner.

Minutes later, he heard a "boom" and the opening opened again! Dylan flew down towards the giant rock. He saw his friendslying on the ground. He knew what had happened. They had lost a shadow duel! And by the way Dylan turned to glair at Salmar, he knew there was about to be another!
