~~During Battle~~
"What is going on? What the hell did he do to her?" I demanded, glaring at this professor; her eyes were vacant of emotion; everything, "Ooh! When I get my hands on that-…" I said nothing as I sat down and stared…until I saw nothing and heard nothing…only the fading voice of Yusei…
/?/
"Cristina…Cristina, wake up please." Someone called out as I groaned, what happened? All I remember is Luna playing that field spell and nothing… I groaned and looked around, a forest, are you serious-"Thank god you're okay!" Two small arms wrapped around me. I saw turquoise hair- What the?
"Luna! What are you doing here?" I asked as she gave me a strange look.
"I could ask you the same thing, but thing is I don't know where we are." She said and helped me up, "I think we're in the spirit world."
"…like…seeing real duel monsters, spirit world?" I asked as she nodded, "I must've hit my head pretty hard on that couch." I then saw fairies flying around until one of them went up to Luna's cheek; aw, so cute! Luna started to giggle with the fairy. I heard a cooing sound and gasped.
"Must. HUG!" I said, and tightly hugged Kuribon! Aww, I'm going to hug it to death! I let go as it was spinning in a daze before shaking it off.
"Where is this place?" Luna asked as I shrugged; I don't know, "It seems so familiar, but I can't remember."
"It will come to you soon." I encourage her as she nodded. Kuribon cooed again, but this time, a metal thing was clamped around it; what happened?
"Kurobon! Cristina, what just happened?" Luna asked in a panic voice as I took Kuribon in my arms and felt the metal thing; it wasn't coming off anytime soon… A shadow loomed over us… I looked up and gasped. I thought this was supposed to be a happy place! It roared at us. I glared down on it with all my might and stood in front of the two protectively. I heard something of glass breaking and looked over my shoulder; Kuribon died? Then came back again… The trees started to sway unnaturally.
"No! This world is supposed to be a safe place! You can't harm us here!" Luna cried as the trees opened and light poured down on the blue dragon as it disappeared…I sighed in relief, but it came back, "How did that happen!" Bright purple light appeared as I wrapped my arms around Luna tightly. A swoosh of bright light appeared in front of us as I closed my eyes then opened them; things keep on getting weirder.
"Sunlight Unicorn?" Luna asked as I looked I awe; it was really pre-
"Luna." A motherly voice said as I gasped and looked up, "Luuunnna…"
"Huh? Who is it?" Luna asked, clinging onto my arm, "Who's out there?"
"Luna…you have finally returned to fulfill your promise." The voice said as I looked down at Luna in confusion.
"What promise?" Luna asked.
"To protect the realm of the duel spirits from the forces of evil…"
"But…she's just a kid." I said, finally speaking up.
"What can I do?" Luna asked.
"You can come with me…"
Yusei's Pov~
Something really strange is happening…not only is Luna in a strange daze, so is Cristina. Even the unexpected playfulness in striking hazel eyes… She was hunched over and still stared at the TV…was this the professor's fault? I was startled when she took a sharp breath and slowly swayed left to right before her head fell right onto my shoulder couch; unmoving. I got up and crouch in front of her. She's breathing, but still…I should get her to a doctor or something. I hooked my arms under the crook of her knees and also behind her back. I lifted her off the couch and she wasn't as light as I expected…not that's a bad thing! I held her tightly and walked towards where I could find an infirmary in this building, ignoring the looks of passers. I looked down and looked back up again and resisted the urge to push her hair back to see her face; she looked peaceful…
Cristina's Pov~
"Luna…Luna." The voice kept calling out, "You've come back…I knew one day you would return to us, Luna." Luna stepped back in shock, "I knew you wouldn't forget the promise you made…you do remember…don't you?"
"This is not happening." Luna said shaking her head as I sighed; I don't know…it seems real to me…but I like acting immature…so it doesn't count.
"You promised that you would protect all of us in the spirit world." The voice said…did Luna really do that as I looked over to Luna.
"I think you got the wrong person! Who are you?" Luna asked as I felt my senses nagging at the back of my head. I looked over my shoulder and sighed…You have got to be kidding me! "Not you again…" Suddenly, Sunlight Unicorn jumped into action, "No, Sunlight Unicorn! Wait, come back!" Unicorn made impact with the beast and fell back. The monster roared and died…I never knew Unicorn's can be boss! "Who are you? You are really freaking me out" Repeating questions, Luna…As a result…Unicorn died? "Sunlight Unicorn…no, this isn't real, right Crissy?"
"I don't know what to say, Luna…seems real to me though…" I said to be honest….I looked around, saw bright light, and look, Sunlight Unicorn was back!
"Sunlight Unicorn!" Luna exclaimed with a happy look. She ran over to it, "You're back, what happened to you? Where'd you go?" Luna turned around and gasped and I raised an eyebrow…I'm not ugly! I looked over my shoulder and growled; just die damnit! "Pretty voice from earlier, is this big shadow thing with you?" I dodged away from its claw and ran by Luna's side.
"Are you hurt?" Luna asked as I shook my head and glared at the monster.
"No, I'm fine." I said and looked up at the sky, "Voice-lady, we need help over here!"
"Quick, Luna. Take Cristina with you and use Sunlight Unicorn to escape!" I am going to ignore that she knows my name somehow. I hopped onto the Unicorn and hauled Luna in front of me. The Unicorn went up on to legs as I cheered. Luna grabbed Kuribon and we were out of harm's way from that thing. I looked around, but held onto Luna just in case she fell…We were in an area that wasn't as green and nice…the trees were dead, the sky was dark…this was like a horror film.
"What happened to all the trees?" I questioned, feeling a bit sad, "What the hell is going on?"
"An evil force tempting to cross the void and access the spirit world…it yearns to corrupt and twist this place to harness its power for malicious purposes…" So many big words; can't keep up!
"Malicious purposes? An evil force? That's scary." Luna said with fear in her voice. Unicorn stopped as me and Luna jumped off. I patted Unicorn's head in appreciation and looked around. Dead trees, dead trees, dead trees, rocks, more rocks, carving-…carvings?
"Hello?" Luna called out.
"I'm here, Luna." The voice said gently, "Sealed away in this granite prison…I've been waiting for your return…"
"I don't get it. What do you want from me?" Luna asked, leaning backwards slightly. "That dragon…" Her eyes widened to unimaginable heights…I'm kissing; they just got really big. "Hang on a second, that dragon looks familiar!"
"You sure, Luna?" I asked as she nodded quickly.
"It's you! It's…Ancient Fairy Dragon." I had to hold down a sigh…more fairies…
"We meet again. It's time to fulfill your promise or your brother's spirit will be lost." Ancient Fairy Dragon said, making me glare; Leo's spirit is here?
"Wait, MY Leo is here? If you had anything to do with this you Fairy Dragon, I swear-"
"Cristina, calm down!" Luna said, putting her hand on my arm, "Where's my brother?"
"Lost between your world and ours…Now, allow me to take you back where you first came." Fairy Dragon said as I looked up ahead and saw…a younger version of Luna running with monsters…that made me think.
"Uh…Fairy Dragon…do you know where U-"
"Uria is…resting, Cristina. I know him…that is the only reason why I know your name…He is rather protective." Fairy Dragon said as I smiled; rather protective…? Aw, Uria, you hothead! "I'm going to help you remember the promise you made that will save this world and your brother's spirit." Little version of Luna started to talk, but it faded away…I actually didn't listen, but smiled at the playful girl…I had to admit…Ancient Fairy Dragon was very beautiful and elegant…Lets sum it up…Luna making a promise that she forgot to stay in the spirit world and protect it…that didn't work out. I wonder how Yusei is…Hell, I wonder what happened to my body!
"I remember now." Luna said, bringing me out of my thoughts, "I-I came here several years ago…and I made a promise. I said that I would protect you…But then…"
Yusei's Pov~
I ran onto the stage after I dropped off Crisitna at the first-aid station, I hope she'll be okay alone. I stopped before anyone from the crowd could see me, but they couldn't actually, the field spell is probably blocking their vision from me.
"Luna…" I called out, waiting for Luna to respond, but she did nothing; she was in the same state like Cristina, "Luna!" No response. "She can't hear me." I looked over to the professor and saw that he was unresponsive too. This is weird. It's like they are both hypnotized or something…what is going on? Her eyes are distant…is this what Cristina meant by saying weird things happen to Luna when she duels…well, she was straight on the mark with that one!
Cristina's Pov~
I started to hear Leo's face calling Luna… I catched Luna before she went on her knees; she had a look of distress on her face.
"What's wrong, Lunie?" I asked.
"I heard him shouting my name…and then I-I just started running! I said that my brother was calling out for me…But I think I was calling out for him somehow! I was scared…I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect you by myself! So I just ran! After that, I tried so hard to forget about you, I blocked you all out, and then I-" We heard a growl as I groaned; please don't tell me…! The blue thing was back.
"My god, get a life!" I yelled and got in front of Luna , "Go away!" The dragon suddenly vanished like a ripple in a water fountain…wow, I have the power…I heard a chuckle and saw the professor creep replacing the dragon.
"You again! Just you wait, till my foot goes up your a-"
"I cannot believe that I am actually crossed over. I finally left my body behind." He said…He must have a lazy eye because eyes were crossing… "I have finally entered the spirit world!"
"What do you want?" I demanded in a harsh tone that I never knew I had.
"Cristina-"
"Stay quiet, Luna." I simply said as I felt her grab the back of my jacket.
"Luna, you are much more important than you know my dear." He said as my eye twitched; don't call her that! "Now, be a good girl, release your signer power and reveal to me the secrets of this wonderful realm." Black shadows came from his shadow and started to spread. "Show me you power…and don't think I forgot about you, Pyro-girl!"
"Stop looking at me like that you perv!" I yelled, pouting a little.
"Okay, um…I have no idea what you want from us." Luna said, "But you need to leave! You are not allowed to be here!" The tree right next to us broke apart. "Leave this world alone!" I slowly backed up, pushing Luna backwards as the shadows got closer.
"I can't do this." Luna said.
"Yes you can! Believe in yourself!" I argued, turning around to get a hold of her, "You can!"
"No I can't! I want to go home. But if I do leave, Anicent Fairy Dragon said that Leo will be lost here forever." Luna cried out in distress as I sighed; this is getting too much… I think I might blow a casket soon, "Leo!"
"…Luna." I heard someone said and I new it had to be Leo, "I hear you…"
"Here's here…? Leo! Can you hear us?" I shouted, "Where are you? Come on and get us outta here!"
"Luna…Cristina…" Was all he said as I groaned; he's not going to be of nay good help.
"Leo, hurry and help us!" Luna shouted as I saw…a puddle on the ground. I jumped back a little before staring at it in curiosity…umm
"Luna…down here." Leo said as I raised an eyebrow. I slowly crouched down with Luna with uncertainty.
"Leo…is that really you?" I questioned and now that I stared at the puddle, I feel like something weird is going to happen…I suddenly saw Leo's face with a blank stare and I was freaked out.
"It's me…I'm here." He said as I hid behind Luna's back and looked over her shoulder.
"So, come on! Get us out of this place, quick!" Luna said in a hurry as I saw the darkness creeping closer.
"I can't bring you guys back, but I did saw your promise to the spirits." Leo said, being his…alter-ego.
"But I was three!" Leo argued as I raised an eyebrow; are they really arguing now?
"I know, but you're connected to these spirits now…don't worry; I'm by your side so I'll protect you so you can protect them." Leo said and disappeared.
"Leo…" Luna called out…The water puddle thing disappeared as I looked around, "Leo!" I held her close as the environment around us started to get a little chaotic.
"We are under attack, Luna. Now is the time that you must defend us." Ancient Fairy said as Luna looked down.
"I don't know…." Luna said as I sighed, "…If I can." I looked down and clenched my fist; i'm starting to lose hope too...
