"AAAAGH!"

BARNABY LP 1400

"Okay... That was unpleasant," Barnaby said, shaking off the flurry of attacks. "Is it my turn, then?"

It all comes down to this draw...

Angela pouted.

"You're not letting me show off what my Djinns can really do... How about I destroy all my monsters on the field right now, and if I still win after that, you take me somewhere nice for dinner? I set a trap and end my turn."

Barnaby drew his card. A disappointing end to a disappointing duel.

"I'll start by taking care of your face down with Mystical Space Typhoon, then I activate my own face down card: Embodiment of Apophis."

EMBODIMENT OF APOPHIS 1600/1800

"Now I remove Nimble Momonga from play to special summon Gigantes."

GIGANTES 1900/1300

"And since I have nothing else to lose, I'll use the effect of Gilasaurus to special summon it to the field!"

GILASAURUS 1400/400

"While you pick out a monster from your graveyard to summon, I'll normal summon my other Gilasaurus."

Barnaby looked at the row of monsters standing loyally before him. "All in one turn. I think it's fairly easy to see where it would normally go from here, if it weren't for the temporary omission of a certain card. Still, you can't fault me for taking your lesson about special summons to heart."

Barnaby entered his battle phase. "Here's a lesson I learned from your friend Mr. Harold: Never give up! Monsters, attack!"

One of the Gilasaurs tore into Snowman Eater. ANGELA LP 6600

Embodiment of Apophis coiled around Manju, easing a curved blade into his stony heart. ANGELA LP 6400

Finally, the mighty ogre crushed one of the Djinns with a deadly blow of his club. ANGELA LP 6200

"I apologize I couldn't provide you with the challenge you deserved," he finished with a sigh. "Don't go holding back on me just because I'm a poor injured little puppy."

I wouldn't worry too much. I can use my shadow power to soak most of the shock from her attacks.

Really?

Pfft, NO! Maybe if I were in your deck right now, I could.

"Blair, I promise that what I'm doing won't hurt anyone," Cyrus said.

Yeah, it's what I'll be doing.

"I won't let Avatar do anything to Jaden-"

I'll do it of my "own free will"

"-and I promise that I'll find him anyway even if you don't tell me."

She isn't a very good liar, after all, and you can read her like a book.

Must you comment on everything I say?

Yes. The people on the other side of the fourth wall must know what dastardly thing's "I'll" do.

"I can't use your Gilasaurus's effect. I already had five monsters when you summoned it. My face-down was a Bottomless Trap Hole, by the way..."

Angela smiled wickedly, drawing her card.

"You did pretty well that turn... I hope you weren't holding back the rest of the game because you were afraid of hurting my feelings. Wait until you see what's coming next... I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands, and use his effect to search my deck for Shinato's Ark!"

A massive cloud of hands formed on the field, parting to reveal Manju's form, one of his hands holding out a card and offering it to Angela.

"Thank you, Manju. Now, I activate Shinato's Ark. I tribute Manju from my field and Djinn, Releaser of Rituals from my hand, and remove the Djinn, Cursenchanter of Rituals in my graveyard from play..."

The Cursenchanter's ghostly form bowed to the ark, then dissipated as the other two monsters boared the ship. The portal in its bow opened, and a second Shinato stepped out... carrying the staves of the two Djinns.

"Not only can the Djinns of Rituals be used as tributes for rituals even when they're in the graveyard, but any Ritual Monster summoned using them becomes gifted with increased abilities. Now, all Synchro monsters lose their effects, and you can no longer special summon, for as long as this Shinato remains face-up on the field. Not that either of those things matters right now... But I thought you'd like to know. Djinn? Take out the Gilasaurus."

The Djinn whirled its staff before reducing the dinosaur to ashes with a burst of dark magic.

BARNABY LP: 1200

"Shinato? Attack Embodiment of Apophis, for the game."

The serpent barely knew what hit it as a glowing fist smashed through, punching a hole through the front of its armor and out the back, destroying the monster and taking the last of Barnaby's life points with it.

"Two Shinatos. Just like last time. Maybe I should have a look at your deck when we get home, honey?"

Barnaby smiled. "Yes, when we get home."

He walked over to her. "I'm afraid I still don't have a hang of this deck building thing. If it means anything, I did name the deck this time." He held it up. "Wield the Chains."

Minus the chains, in the case.

"If you're certain that you're strong enough to handle it, I'll be more than happy to live with you. That is, if I may still have the honor of calling you mine after being such an idiot."

He put an arm around her and cringed. He could feel his wounds bleeding a little, soaking his shirt, and hoped it didn't show through his sweater vest. "I need to pick a pet name for you, don't I? Apparently I'm 'honey' and 'muffin.'"

Honey muffin?

"Mine's called "Broken Halelujah." For obvious reasons. And of course I'll still live with you..."

Angela moved in to kiss him, then paused.

"Seriously, though... Are you okay, after what happened? It can't have been easy, and I know it must have hurt a lot..."

"Still going on about that shadow game business?"

You were just complaining about the teeth marks a while ago.

"The flesh is in pain, that I cannot deny. As for the soul, well... I could only save one person I loved today, and I'm pretty sure I made the right choice."

"He couldn't be saved anymore. No matter what you think, you still can." He leaned in close to finish the kiss she had started.

You can't hide your fears from me. Seeing the man you failed to save has left you questioning your ability to protect her.

"How bad are you hurt? If you're bleeding or anything, you should probably have a doctor look at it."

You haven't even looked at the thing yet. You could have mushrooms growing out of it for all you know.

I'm not taking my shirt off in the middle of a waiting room.

"I'm still here, if anyone cares," Mokuba said. "I've just been blocking this all out. My world ends at the cover of this magazine now."

"Hey, Nekobe!" shouted Kakeru, talking to a tall, pink-haired Slifer.

Nekobe turned around, holding a far smaller Ra by his jacket. "Kinda busy here, K," he said impatiently. "Can it wait?"

"Yuji and I found Andrew," Kakeru replied, looking rather annoyed. "And put Kotaro down. You need to grow up."

"I need to grow up?! This brat was making fun of my hair!"

"Whatever, just put him down, Nekobe."

"Ya, you big bully!" squeaked Kotaro, flailing his arms in an attempt to get the pink-haired Slifer to let go. Which Nekobe promptly did, resulting with Kotaro landing with his face.

"So this is Andrew?" asked Nekobe, looking curiously at the aforementioned boy.

"Yeah that's me," replied Andrew, wondering why these people cared.

"Let's take him to the bossman," smiled Nekobe.

Kakeru hung his head. "What do you think we were doing? Where is he?"

Nekobe turned and looked at the group of people standing around. "Follow me!" he exclaimed, walking over Kotaro.

"Ouch!" whined the little boy. "Stop hurting me, pinky boy!"

"They can probably get a doctor. I'm sure they're very picky about which of their guests die. Will you at least let somebody look at it? I don't want to lose you. Especially not if it's just because you didn't stop to worry about yourself. Do you want to ask, or should I do it for you?"

It was clear Angela wasn't caving on this.

Saturday shook his head.

"Not reassuring, Cain. Not smart, either. Whatever you're thinking of doing, believe me when I say you don't play on Jaden's level."

He turned back to her. "I asked, Happy? And you're not going to 'lose me' over a flesh wound."

"How so, Saturday? We need to at least try Jaden as a source of information- Avatar, as dark and chaotic as he is, sees what we know as Shadow Games the way many teenagers view younger siblings. Annoying, useless, nothing like them."

Damn right. Those things can't hold a candle to my evil, yet everyone knows them and is scared out of their minds of them; but nooo, unless you actually know a Wicked-

Shut up. "Anyway, Avatar apparently is also impossible to use in a Shadow Game, or, more accurately, Avatar's evil overrides a Shadow Game if he's used. He doesn't know much about them, because of that; he can't exactly compare them like that."

You're starting to sound like you want to use me as a "Get Out of Jail Free" Card if you have a curse.

"Then, if I could talk to Jaden somehow, I could find out a bit about the Shadow Games he was involved in. I could see if they were the same, and maybe find a way out of them."

How would you compare them? It's not like you've been in one of Skye's games.

Can you really not tell?

"I'm less worries about losing you over a flesh wound than I am about losing you to a flesh wound. I'm not worried about arguing with you. I'm worried about you being hurt, Barnaby!"

She tried to fight it, but a few tiny tears showed at the corner of her eyes.

"You told me I was worth saving... Why can't you see that you are too?"


"I say we take him to Saturn," Saturday said. "If whatever happened to him is from the same thing that's keeping Duel Spirits away, we need to get him out of here. If he needs to talk to a Duel Spirit, it should be one that isn't made of evil."

Barnaby wiped the tears from her eyes and drew her in close, pain be damned. "When I came to this island, I was thinking only about myself. I was done with caring about other people only to watch them get hurt. I was so afraid to find happiness in others that I insisted on closing myself into a comfortable misery."

He kissed her gently on the cheek as he continued whispering in her ear. "I tried not to love you. I tried with all my might not to care as you destroyed yourself, because I was afraid I'd only leave you worse off. Then came last night, when I had to look at you face to face, see what that thing was doing to you. For the first time in five years I let myself just... love someone."

He stroked her back, every movement causing pain to shoot through his tender wounds, but a warm satisfaction to grow in his heart. "We saved each other that night. We reached from opposite ends of the universe to meet in the middle."

"'Sir' will be fine," Blake answered tonelessly, turning away and striding into the complex, "Just sign it or you won't get in. Janice, after he signs it, give him the general tour and show him to his rooms."

As he faded from Buddy's view, the young crimelord's heartbeat began to quicken as an ineffable sense of wrongness began to gnaw at him. This feeling... what is this feeling?

Blake walked faster.


Anna watched the melodrama of Barnaby and Angela's duel with wide eyes. "Wooooow...," she whispered quietly.

As she happily watched the two lovebirds reconcile, however (she could literally see their emotions twisting and changing in a spectacular light show), she began to feel a familiar itch, and her heart plummeted. Wishing only that she could have held up longer and given the couple a few more badly-needed moments of peace, Anna began to cough.

And as her hacking and wheezing increased in intensity until she lay on the floor and began to convulse, something smoky seemed to take shape over her body, almost evaporating off of her skin. Something large and humanoid, with glaring red eyes and a head in the shape of a jackal...

It was obvious that the guards couldn't see the thing looming over Anna, but her coughing was evidently a regular occurrence, because they began to lose some of their rigid stoicism in favor of poorly-concealed looks of pity. And then, as the girl's coughing continued, with no end in sight, the mouth of the jackal-thing ripped open in a terrible, warped roar:

"LRIG SSELHTROW! EID TON UOY OD YHW? EM EDAVE OT EUNITNOC UOY TAHT TI SI WOH? YNITSED RUOY SI SA HSIREP!"

By that time even Mokuba had begun to take notice. "What's going on? Why aren't you two goons helping her?"

Angela sprung to her feet, glaring at the bestly specter looming over the little girl.

"You leave her alone! What are you?"

Quickly, she turned to Barnaby.

"I hate to say this... But we might need Dreadroot to handle this one... You don't see that?"

forgetting SOMEONE?

Angela shrieked in surprise.

awww, did I startle you?

"Not now... Not now! Not now, not now, not NOW!"

Slowly, a long, thin trail of black smoke entered the room, and rising from it, the serpent's form.

"I reject thee, Eraser, and all thy wicked lies!"

I don't recall ever lying to you, angela... in fact, it was you who broke OuR arrangement. perhaps MY power may still be of use to you...

"I'd rather die."

but would you rather she die? consider it... but you may wish to make up your mind very, very soon....

A horned shadow began to manifest above Barnaby's head. "Stay out of this brother. She belongs to my host, and by extension me."

Barnaby looked over to Mokuba. "You take care of the little one. I've got to get her out of here." He grabbed onto Angela and pulled her past the bewildered guard into the corridor.

"And I just get to sit here, then?"

"I'm not losing you. I can't," he said to her. "Fight it."

Mokuba began rushing over to Anna before being stopped by the guards.

"Aww, that was so sweet of you... Kinda stupid, but sweet."

Angela ran a hand through Barnaby's hair.

"He wasn't getting back in... I know I don't need him now. I have Shinato... And I have you."

Eraser stared at Dreadroot and his human pets with utter, bored contempt.

"Ugh. Don't worry, I got this."

The fiend turned his back on his quickly de-manifesting adversary and turned his attention to the new entity before him. "Like to pick on little girls, do you? We should swap torture tips... I mean no, bad Dreadroot. Why don't you quit bullying her and pick on someone ten times your size, punk?"
