"Hey, guys! That sounded like Mai! C'mon!" Joey ran toward the scream Mai made, and Kamiri saw out of the corner of her eye, Russet making sort of a sad face. She ran with Joey, not taking her eyes off of the ginger-haired girl. They stopped when they saw Mai, getting off of a duel station. There was a defeated look in her eyes, and Yugi called out for her.

"Mai! Are you okay?" He asked. They all stopped when they saw a tall man.

'He's probably the one who defeated Mai!' Kamiri shouted to Lostheart, who had come out in spirit form.

'Indeed. Let me take over.' She declared. Kamiri nodded, and in a flash of light, Lostheart now stood in Kamiri's place. She stepped up.

"He eliminated me." Mai said sadly.

"Who eliminated you?" The female spirit asked.

"Panik. He's a very powerful duelist, Kamiri. You wouldn't stand a chance against him." Lostheart let out a cat-like growl when she saw how many Starchips she had left.

"Let him come and duel me, then." Mai's eyes widened at her bravery. She was about to disagree, but Panik came out of the shadows. Lostheart's eyes narrowed at the sight of him.

"Why did you take Mai's Starchips?" She demanded. Unknown to her, Yugi had changed to Yami.

"Pegasus' orders. I'm just getting rid of all the filth that's on this island. But since you're a lady, I'll let you go, if you give me your Starchips." He told her, a dirty smirk crossing his features. Lostheart kept the cat inside her from unsheathing her claws and tearing his face apart.

"Never." She snarled, venom dripping from her voice. Panik's smirk went away, and a glare replaced it.

"You asked for it, girlie!" He growled, and started the duel.

"I play my Sonic Bird in attack mode, and I place this card face down. I end my turn." She started the duel, and Panik laughed.

"Is that the best you can do? Are you serious?" He played his very own cards, and ended his turn. Lostheart was getting pretty beat up for a while, and worry coursed through everyone. But Lostheart just smiled after a turn, and looked at Panik.

"I've learned much about you during our duel, Panik. You are afraid of losing the duel, aren't you?" She asked, a smirk crawling up on her face. Panik looked shocked.

"What did you say?!"

"I've seen how you work, Panik. Sneaking up on unsuspecting duelists because you haven't got the courage to challenge them face-to-face."

"Watch what you say, you insignificant brat!" Lostheart merely ignored his threats, and kept ranting.

"True duelists fight with courage, honor, and respect. You don't have any of that!" Panik growled at her.

"The kinds of duelists like you are weak! You always lose duels! I'm surprised you have 8 Starchips on your glove!" He continued to laugh his butt off, but everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at Lostheart. Her eyes were closed, and her arms were folded.

"What are you doing?!" Panik snapped, trying to get her attention, but no avail. He growled again, and kept on shouting to her, when suddenly; she opened her eyes, and put her fingers on the edge of her deck, preparing to draw a card. Yami stepped closer to the blue-haired beauty, eyeing her with curiosity. She drew a card, and looked at it. She smirked at Panik with courage.

"This card will seal your fate, Panik. Prepare to be demolished." Panik's eyes widened.

"What?!" Everyone was confused, except for Russet, who was smiling joyously.

"What are you smiling at?" Joey asked her. Everyone turned their attention towards Russet.

"She's gonna summon her mos' powerful monstah! And her uncle told meh that only she can summon it, because she's got 'da Lunar Amulet!" Yami looked back at Lostheart, and smiled.

'She can do this.' He thought. He remembered when she told him that she would practice with him. He got so lost in her sapphire colored eyes. Yami quickly shook his head of all the thoughts he had. But hey, he might be a spirit, but he's still a guy. Lostheart then shouted:

"I sacrifice my Curse of Dragon, my Magician's Messiah, and my Mystic Clown, to bring fourth Undead Dragon!" The duel station began to rumble, and shadows coursed through the ground, creating a blanket of darkness. A very large creature pulled itself out of the blanket, dark water dripping from it. Everyone watched with eyes full of surprise, as well as Panik. It's ATK Points were a fair 3000, while the defense points were a good 2900. But what really frightened Panik was that he couldn't even see the monster that was about to destroy his Life Points.

"Now, Undead Dragon, attack with Undead Rage!" The shadowy dragon roared, and a black substance came crashing down at Panik. He yelped in fear as his Life Points reduced to zero. Yami was able to get a good glimpse at its wings though. They were jet black, and the bone of the wing was showing. He wondered what it truly looked like. Panik's face crossed with humiliation, as Lostheart stepped down from the station.

"Maybe now Panik, you'll see that you should not take belongings from people, especially if you're a man who hides in the shadows of night." Her voice was cold, and she glared at Panik. He rose, and glared at the female spirit with hate. He shot fire at her, and she gasped. Yami took action, however. He dashed as fast as he could go, and threw himself at Lostheart.

He grabbed her, and pulled her to the ground with him on top. Once the fire went away, the two looked at each other, and blushed madly at the position they were in. Yami quickly got up, and gave her a hand.

"Are you alright?" He asked kindly. She nodded her head.

"I'll live." She glared at Panik, who was now in a state of shock.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"My name is of no importance to you. I have beaten you fairly, and yet you still refuse to face the truth; you have been beaten." She growled. Yami stepped forward, and held her hand.

"She is right. You are less than a man than I thought, Panik. Mind Crush!" He stuck his other hand out, and the duelist's mind was shattered. Lostheart's eyes wandered down to Yami's hand, which was holding hers. He was holding her hand firmly, but his touch was incredibly gentle. She found herself fighting down a blush that was rising to her cheeks. Still holding her hand, Yami looked at Mai, who was surprised out of her mind. Lostheart walked up to her, and held out the Starchips.

"Here. These belong to you." Mai shook her head.

"I can't take them." It was Yami's turn.

"Mai, Kamiri won these Starchips for you to proceed further into the Kingdom." Mai smiled, took the Starchips gratefully, and walked away. Yami was still holding her hand. She secretly smiled at him, and vowed to herself that she would make Pegasus pay for what he has done.
