Another GREAT Rose story. Written by Duel.

For easy reading pleasure i suggest you make the browser window a bit smaller, like book size.

Happy Reading ...



Episode - 1 - The Beginning!


Duel has green hair, an average build, and small, sharp eyes. He looks around. He covers his eyes at the bright green lights around him. He sees a small figure coming towards him. A second later the figure appears right in front of Duelâ??s face. He stumbles backwards, and falls to the ground.

The fairy laughs, â??You must be the new visitor.â?

Looking up at the floating fairy in front of him, he asks, â??Where am I, and what is this visitor you are talking about?â?

â??You are in the land of Junon. You are the visitor. A visitor is a soul that has been born into this world. Arua must have needed you to dosomething.â?

Duel got to his feet and brushes himself off. He walks forward and sits down on the steps. He looks up at the sky. Aruaâ??s fairy looks at Duel for a moment, then flies closer to him.

She asks, â??Is something the matter?â?

Duel replies, â??Whatâ??s your name?â? while still looking into the sky.

â??M-My name!?â? exclaims the fairy.

â??Yes, your name. What is it? You do have one, donâ??t you?â? demands Duel.

Aruaâ??s Fairy answers, â??Yes, I do, you may call me Ray if you want.â?

â??Okay, Ray it is, and you may call me Duel,â? replies Duel.

â??Okay, we got that settled. Now shall I explain how things work in this world?â? asks Ray.

Duel thinks for a minute, then answers, â??Sure, why not.â?

â??Okay, let me begin. You are in the region called Adventurers Plains.There is a small town not too far from this point. You can buy some of your early equipment there. As you may have noticed, you do not have anywhere to carry any of the things that youâ??ll acquire along your journeys. Take this,â? Ray states.
Ray throws something into the air above Duelâ??s head. Duel catches it and examines it in the palm of his hand. It is a small diamond shaped crystal. He then looks up at Ray.

"This may hurt a bit," exclaims Ray.

Duel feels a sharp pain coming from his palm which held the crystal. He looks down at it. There is now a small amount of light coming from around the edges of it. He grabs his wrist with his other hand, clinching his teeth trying not to cry out in pain. There is now more light coming from the crystal. The light shoots up into the air, and he falls to one knee and screams in pain. The light slowly withdraws back into the crystal.

Duel looks down where he once held the crystal, and what is now in his palm. He stands up still holding his wrist, and looks up at Ray.

â??I am sorry for the pain, but everyone goes through it. Now that is what this world calls an 'inventory.' Simple enough? Whatever you acquire will go into it, and you can call anything out just by thinking of it with your mind. This one is already stored with some zulie, the currency in this world, and a wooden sword, the most basic weapon. Now bring out your wooden sword. Just hold out your right hand and call for it with your mind.â?
Duel holds out his right arm with his palm open. All of a sudden a wooden sword appears and he closes his hand around the handle of the sword.

Duel says, â??Wow, it actually works!â?

â??Of course it does, Duel,â? exclaims Ray. â??Now that we have that done, letâ??s continue. To survive in this world you must learn how to hunt. You hunt for drops from monsters, which you fight in this world. You make zulie from those drops. You can go alone, or with friends who you may meet later.â?

Ray points to the ground a few feet away from where Duel is standing, and a monster appears.

Ray says, â??Fight this monster, a jelly bean. Do not be fooled by its appearance. It can be quite difficult to kill.â?

Duel says, â??Youâ??re kidding me about this, that thing cannot be hard to kill.â?

Ray says â??Then kill him, if you think it is that easy.â?

Duel runs up to the jumping jelly bean, which is grinning at him. Duel is angry at the expression on its face. He swings his sword at him. The jelly jumps back evading the attack, then he jumps forward and hits Duel in the chest. The jelly kicks off of his chest and continues jumping around and grinning. Duel falls backwards, stumbling to the ground. The jelly then jumps on him, and continues to jump for several minutes.

Ray flies over to Duel asking, â??Not as easy as you thought, is it?â?

â??He just got lucky,â? yells Duel.

Ray points at the jelly and the jelly moves back a few feet to the ground.

Ray says, â??Now try again."

Duel stands up and strikes at the jelly again. This time he connects, and the jelly runs off.

Ray says, â??Good job. Now you know the basics of surviving in this world.â?

Ray points at Duelâ??s inventory and a small light radiates from it then soon disappears.

Ray says, â??I have given you a few extra supplies and zulie. Now go. I will check in on you with more information about why you are here.â?

Duel replies, â??Thank you Ray, for all the help you have given me.â?

â??Bye for now Duel,â? says Ray. She turns around and disappears from sight. Duel looks around for a few moments, and then begins down the path.

Duel continues to walk the path for several minutes. He finally passes under a rock-like archway. He enters a small town in the region ofAdventurers Plains. He looks around for a bit. There arenâ??t many inhabitants in this town.

He hears someone yell, â??Selling fine training weapons!â?

He walks in the direction of the shout. The person seems somewhat old, and has a foul odor about him.

Duel asks, â??You are selling training weapons?â?

â??Yes, boy, I am,â? answers the old man.

â??Boy? I do have a name you know. The damn least you could do is ask it!â? yells Duel.

The old man begins to laugh, â??You are right, I should have asked for it. I am terribly sorry. What is your name, boy?â? he asks.

â??My name is Duel,â? answers Duel.

â??Thatâ??s a fine name. It seems to suit you just fine, and my name is Ronk. What kind of weapon would you like? I do not have as much as Zant, but my business here is going well,â? says Ronk.

â??I donâ??t really know. This world is still so new to me,â? replies Duel.

Ronk laughs, â??Give it time. Letâ??s try this.â?

Ronk holds out his hand, his palm open towards Duel. A small ray of light appears at the center of his out stretched palm. A spear came out, and Duel grabs it. He holds it in one hand and rests it against his shoulder.

â??How does the bamboo spear feel to you?â? asks Ronk.

Duel swings the spear around as if he was fighting something.

Duel replies, â??Feels okay. Got anything else?â?

â?? I am sorry, I am out of everything else for the time being, but I am sure the weapon seller in Zant will have a much bigger selection,â? says Ronk.

â??How much is this?â? asks Duel.

Ronk answers, â??Two-hundred fifty zulie.â?

Duel holds out his hand and the zulie amount appears. Ronk grabs it from Duel, and says, â??Thank you very much. Hope to see you again someday.â?

Duel walks away from Ronk, and continues to walk around for several minutes. He looks at the scenery in the area and decides to rest for alittle while. He finds a bench and sits down. He lets his head fall back, and he closes his eyes. Several minutes later he hears an odd laugh. He opens his eyes, and he sees that Ray is right in his face with a weird smile. He jumps up, startled at the sight of Ray.

Duel yells, â??Why are you sneaking up on me like that?!â?

â??Just checking up on you. How have you been doing?â? asks Ray.

â??I met the weapon seller in this town,â? answers Duel, taking out his bamboo spear and resting it on his shoulder.

â??He sold me this bamboo spear,â? he continues.

Ray says, â??I see, but you arenâ??t comfortable with it, are you?â?

Duel answers, â??No, but it was the only thing he had left, and it is better than the wooden sword.â?

â??Yes, that may be so. Well, in any case, back to why I came here. Have you talked to Mairard yet?â? she asks, pointing at an old man with along white bread, who is wearing a blue cloak and a hat. Duel looks over at the man.

He says, â??No, I havenâ??t. Do I need to speak with him?â?

Ray replies, â??Yes, you need to speak with him soon."

Ray looks up at the sky, with a shocked face. â??I am off. I am needed elsewhere,â? she states as she disappears.

Duel walks over to the old man. He was stroking his beard and talkingto himself, but Duel couldnâ??t quite tell what he was saying. When Duel got closer, Mairard stopped speaking to himself.

â??Hello, are you Mairard?â? asks Duel.

Mairard replies, â??That I am, boy. What is your name?"

â??Duel. I am new here and I was told to speak with you,â? answers Duel.

â??Ah, ok then,â? says Mairard, as he pulls something from his cloak. "Take this to Warren in Zant. It will allow you to change your job, so that you may live better in this world.â?

Duel grabs the scroll that Mairard reveals. It was tied with some sort of fancy red ribbon. He put it into his inventory.

â??Thank you, sir,â? says Duel.

Mairard replies, â??It is no problem, and may Arua bless you with good fortune.â?

Duel walks out the other side of the town and it disappears in the distance. He pulls out his bamboo spear and continues to walk down the paths, still with no idea of where to go or what to do.

Along the way, he is attacked by several jelly beans and another monster he hasnâ??t seen before. He takes them down now with no problem.

He walks up to a giant flower for a short rest. He looks around, but doesnâ??t see a soul, and feels very alone. Suddenly he flies across thefield several feet. He gets up holding his left arm, which hurt from sliding on the ground. He looks around to see what may have attacked him, but sees nothing. Then he looks at himself and notices he is covered in something that looks like pollen. He looks over at the flower, and watches it. After a while, the flower opens its petals. Ithas a smile on its face, but the smile doesnâ??t look too friendly. The flower leans its head back and then aims it towards Duel, shooting pollen at him. Duel just looks at it. Again, he is hit by the pollen and flies backward, sliding onto the ground and landing on his back.

He gets up, readies his spear, and runs at the flower. The flower yet again shoots another pollen ball. He moves to the side and dodges the ball, getting closer to the flower, and strikes at it with his spear. He continues to dodge the pollen, and after several minutes he finally takes down the flower.

Duel was exhausted after the fight, but he also knew he was getting better. He sits on the ground for a moment to regain some energy.

He gets up and continues walking. He sees what looks like a cave, and suddenly feels that he has gone the wrong way. He turns around and canâ??t see the path he was just on--he sees only green. He looks up andfinds himself standing right in front of a giant jelly bean.

Seconds later, he flies through the air, and smashes into a rock wall. He falls unconscious, and the giant jelly bean again comes closer, raising his wooden bat. The jelly starts to swing at Duel, but his strike is stopped by a small girl with what seems to be an energy shield. Duel remains unconscious.

Episode - 2 - Enter Mysterious Man!


The Jelly King strikes the girl again with more force. The girl fell to one knee. The girlâ??s shield disappears. The Jelly King pulls his club back. The girl closes her eyes. The Jelly King strikes at the girl, but before the hit landed there was a blinding light that emits from the muse and the Jelly King vanishes! The muse runs to Duel, and starts waving her hands over his unconscious body. Light comes from her hands and covers Duel.

She asks, â??Are you ok? You were knocked out for quite a while there.â?

Duel replies, â??I am still sore, but I will be fine. Thank you for your help.â?

â??Thatâ??s good. We should get out of this area, it isnâ??t safe anymore,â? she says.

She holds her hand out to help Duel to his feet, but Duel doesnâ??t take it. He got up by himself while holding in his cries from the pain he is having.

â??My cure didnâ??t heal you very well, so you should be careful for a while,â? she says.

â??Iâ??ll be fine. What is your name,â? asks Duel.

â??Itâ??s Kyrsten, but just call me Krissy,â? she says playfully as she smiles at Duel.

He replies, â??Thatâ??s a nice name. My name is Duel.â?

Both continue along the path for several hours. It starts to get dark and they both decide it would be best to rest for the night. They both quickly fall asleep.

The next day, when they woke up from sleeping. Duel takes out two apples from his inventory.

He asks, â??Do you want an apple; itâ??s all I got right now.â?

She answers, â??Thank you, thatâ??s so sweet of you.â?

She grabs the apple from his hand, then without thinking she kisses him on the cheek. She quickly jumps back, and covers her mouth.

â??Iâ??m so sorry. I donâ??t know why I did that,â? she says as she starts blushing.

Duel is still a little dazed by the fact that she just kissed him.

â??Itâ??s alright,â? he replies

She quickly turns away from him and starts eating the apple. Duel is staring at her for a few minutes, than he starts to eat his apple. A few minutes passes by until he finishes his apple, but she wasnâ??t.

â??Are you ok,â? asks Duel.

She rubs her eyes with her arm as he said that. She turns towards him.

â??Iâ??m fine,â? she says as she smiles.

â??Ok, if you say so. I am here if you do though.â?

She smiles at him and they continue on the path from yesterday. As they continue down the path they find themselves near a small village, but they did not see any people around. They caught an eye on a man leaning against a tree.

The man is wearing an odd-looking dressed man; a red vest and a weird hat, a pair of red shoes that curled up at the toes, and a pair of dark sunglasses. The two continue past the man, as they did he was following them with his head.

As they were passing him he says,� You two are on your way to Zant, correct?�

They didnâ??t stop and continue down the path. The man took out a scroll from hisinventory. He opened the scroll and let it hang down.

He says, â??I have something here you might want. You can return to Zant faster this way.â?

The two stops and they turn around to face the man. Duel looks at the scrolls writing, but he canâ??t read or understand it.

Krissy read the scroll and mutters, â??Scroll of Returning Zant.â?

The man and Duel look at Krissy and the man asks, â??You understand this lost language?â?

Krissy says, â??I donâ??t know, but when I just look at the writing I just know what it says.â?

The man took out another scroll, opened it, and let it hang down next to the other one.

He says, â??I will sell these both to you two for one thousand zulies.â?

Duel and Krissy look at each other then back at the man holding the scrolls.

â??Ok, we will buy them,â? says Krissy.

The man rolls up the scrolls as Krissy takes out the zulie from her inventory. Krissy hands him the zulie then he handed a scroll to her and Duel.

Krissy looks at the scroll in her and then over at Duel.

She looks back at the man and asks, â??How do we use these?â?

â??It is very simple. You open up the scroll then cast your own mana through the scroll,â? says the man.

She answers,� Ok, thank you for your help.�

She closed her eyes then vanishes.

Duel looks puzzled at the man and asks, â??I donâ??t know how todo that.â?

The man looks at Duel and says, â??You cannot. People like her do not come all too often in this world.â?

â??Then how am I supposed to make use of this thing then,â? hesays as he holds the scroll in front of his eyes.

The man grins at him. He takes out another scroll from his inventory and opens it.

â??Every person has mana, but not everyone can control it as they wish,â? he says as he brought his thumb to his mouth.

â??But for people like you and me we can still use these scrolls as we wish. We must use a bit of blood and mark the length of the scroll with it,â? says the man.

"Do not lose your friendship with her," says the man.

Duel looks at the man with still a puzzled look.

The man pricks his finger, and a drop of blood falls on the scroll. The man puts his thumb on the scroll, and then wipes it towards thebottom of the scroll. He then vanishes. Duel opens his scroll; he brought his thumb to his mouth and bites it to let it bleed out a little. He places his bleeding thumb at the top ofthe scroll then ran it down to the bottom of the scroll. He then vanishes.

When Duel opens his eyes he is in a town there are a lot of people around. He is looking around him trying to find Krissy. He finds Krissy she is far in the distance waving at him and jumping up and down.

She is yelling, "Come on Duel!"

Duel waves back. Then he suddenly fell to the ground. He was pushed by somebody. Krissy saw this and runs over to him.

She kneels down in front of him and asks, "Are you alright."

Duel answers, "Yes, I'm fine."

Duel looks around him and sees a girl standing next to him.

The girl says, "Watch it next time!" Then walks off. He gets up and brushes himself off and looks at the girl that pushed him over.

Episode - 3 - Duel's Sleeping Powers!


Duel and Krissy are sitting talking on a small stage, in the center of the town of Zant.The two have been talking for a while now. There are still a lot of people walking all around the town as they are talking.

Duel asks, â??Do you mind if I ask exactly how you saved me from that monster back there?â?

Krissy says, â??I donâ??t really know. I remember being forced to the ground, and then all of a sudden it was gone, as if it was never there.â?

Duel replies, â??Maybe some one else was there and saved us from the danger.â?

Krissysays, â??It is possible, but I doubt anyone else was around. The area is known for mysterious monsters, and people are being told not to gonear it.â?

â??Well, I am glad you were there to help me out,â?Duel says with a smile. Duel added, â??What is this stage called? It seems very important.â?

Krissy answers, â??I think I have heard people around town say it is called the Arch of Revive.â?

An old man walks up behind Duel and Krissy and says, â??That is correct, young lady. This is called the Arch of Revive.â?

Dueland Krissy immediately get up and face the old man. He is wearing a formal robe, has a long white beard, has a corn cob pipe in his mouth,and is holding a long, wooden walking stick.

Duel asks, â??Sir, who are you?â?

The old man replies, â??I am Cornell, the Mayor of Zant.â?

Duel asks, â??Cornell, do you know the history of this place?â?

Cornell replies, â??Of Zant or of the Arch of Revive?â?

Krissy says, â??The Arch of Revive please, sir.â?

Cornell takes his pipe into his hand and looks up into the blue cloudy sky.

He says, â??The stage has been here a very long time. It is said in theold times, people could have been revived by the Mana Priests that used to flourish in this land. Now we hardly ever see any Mana Users. Most cannot use their powercorrectly, either falling into darkness or dying in the process. Do you seethese colorful spheres of light floating around on this stage?â?

Duel and Krissy look around them. They see many different color spheres of light; some blue, red, green, yellow, black, and white.
Cornell continues, â??It is said that these spheres wonâ??t and cannot leave this stage. They are the souls of the dead.â?

Krissycups a blue sphere of light in her hands. She lets it go, and grabs a black sphere. She freezes, and immediately lets it go. Cornell looks at her.

Cornell asks, â??Is something the matter, young lady?â?

Krissy shakes her head, and answers, â??N-No, itâ??s nothing.â?

Cornellsays, â??I will continue. In the old times, once a year, the Mana Priests would hold a gathering here, and they would revive each and every soul that was here, no matter who or what it was. During the last gathering, the Mana Priests revived an evil lord. When he was revived,he immediately started killing everyone in sight. He killed countless Mana Priests and the few who survived did not last too long because of their injuries. Before they all perished, they met for the last time,and decided not to pass their teachings to the next group of Mana Users.They burned all the books relating to any teachings of Revival.â?

Cornell looks around and looks back at them and says, â??It is time for me tomake my leave, I am needed elsewhere.â?

Duel and Krissy both say, â??Thank you for the story behind this stage.â?

Cornell smiles and walks off.

Duel turns towards Krissy and asks, â??What was the matter from before, after you touched that black sphere?â?

Krissyâ??s eyes widen as she says, â??Nothing. Nothing at all.â?

Duel replies, â??Donâ??t lie, what was the matter?â?

Krissy turns toward Duel as she begins to cry. She jumps into him. He grabs her and holds her close, as she cries.

She says, â??That black sphere was filled with so much hatred and anger. It is something terrible.â?

â??Itâ??ll be alright,â? he says, trying to calm her down and continues, â??Lets get out of this place.â?

He walks off with her.

As they are walking, she says, â??Thank you, Duel.â?

â??Itâ??s nothing,â? he answers.

Theyâ??re interrupted by the voice of a man, who asks, â??Sir, can you come over her for a minute?â?

Duel looks over at Krissy.

She says with a smile, â??Go, Iâ??ll be fine.â?

â??Ok, but not for too long,â? replies Duel.

He walks up to the man who was calling him.

â??Sir,I am a weapon seller, and I remember every face that has been here. You are new to this land, am I right?â? says the man.

â??Yes I am,â? answers Duel.

The man continues, â??Good, good, I take it you have a newbie weapon from Ronk in Adventurers Plains?â?

Duel takes out the bamboo spear and shows it to the man.

Duel says, â??This was the best he could sell to me at the time. He recommended you for better weapons.â?

The man says, â??I, Raffle, am the best blacksmith outside of Junon Polis.From your stance you are not made for this type of weapon. Please put that away.â?

Duel puts it in his inventory. Raffle looks at Duel. He takes Duelâ??s hands,opens his palms, and looks at them. He turns Duelâ??s hands the other way and looks at them. He looks at his eyes. He walks around Duel and stops in front of him. He stands there and thinks for a minute.

Raffle says, â??You, you, hmmâ?¦you must beâ?¦â?

Raffle opens his palm and takes out two swords.

He continues, â??These are your weapons. Dual wielding, these weapons will only come apart when both handles are grabbed.â?

Raffle grabs both of the handles, and the swords quickly release from eachother.

Rafflesays, â??The sword in my left hand is called the Khukuri, a sword that excels in defense, and the sword in my right hand is the LongSword, a sword that excels in attack, but lacks in defense qualities.Here told them, tell me if they feel right to you.â?

Raffle tosses the swords in the air. Duel raises his arms and grabs the swords.He swings the air with them.

Duel says, â??Yes, they feel great.â?

Raffle answers, â??Good, good.â?
Duel asks, â??How much do I owe you?â?

Raffle answers, â??No, no, they are free.â?

Duel replies, â??Really? Thank you very much.â?

Duel puts the duals together and into his inventory. He turns and walks away,as Raffle smiles and looks into the sky. Krissy is now sitting on a bench. Duel walks up and sits next to her. She looks at him and smiles.

She asks, â??What was all that about?â?

He replies, â??The man gave me new weapons, much better than the old ones.â?

She replies, â??Thatâ??s nice.â?

She places her head on his shoulder and closes her eyes. He looks are her.

â??Letâ??s go look around here a little more,â? he says.

She opens her eyes and looks up at him.

She replies, â??Sure.â?

They get up together, and start to walk around. There are still many people around Zant. They walk into the crowd. Duel bumps into someone, and itâ??s the mysterious man from before. Duel realizes this and quickly turns around, but when he does, he doesnâ??t see the man.

Krissy looks back at Duel and asks, â??Is something wrong?â?

Duel looks back at her and replies, â??Itâ??s nothing; my eyes are just playing tricks on me.â?

They continue walking for a while. They walk across a small bridge leading to another part of Zant. After they cross the bridge, Duel gets knocked down. It is the same girl from before. He gets up, brushes himself off,and looks over at the girl. She has long blonde hair, and small, scared looking eyes. She is wearing a blue vest, blue jeans, a blue rodeo hat with a colorful feather in it, a pair of orange colored gloves, and a pair of boots.

He asks, â??Why did you do that?â?

She answers, â??Nothing personal, but it is my job.â?

As she says this, she takes out a sword and shield. She pulls the sword from its sheath, and places the shield in her right hand and the sword in her left hand. She charges at Duel.

As she gets close he jumps into the air, places his hand on her shoulder and lands behind her. She stumbles forward and falls to the ground. Duel looks at his hands. He opens and closes them several times, and looks back at the girl.She returns to her feet and charges at him again.

Duel takes out his swords, and gets into a stance; again as she gets close he jumps into the air, grabs her shoulder, and lands behind her. This time he grabs her from behind and drags her to the ground, and places his long sword at her throat. Her eyes widen.

He yells, â??Why did you attack me!?!â?

She looks away. He forces the sword closer to her throat.

She says, â??I was forced to. I am in debt to a man, and he told me if I killed you that it would be forgotten. I am sorry, but Iâ??m in a bind here. I have to do what the man says without any word back.â?

Krissy walks up to them and kneels beside the girl; she places her hands on the girlâ??s forehead and closes her eyes.

The girl looks at her and says, â??What is she doing?â?

Duel replies, â??I donâ??t know.â?

Minutes later she opens her eyes.

Krissy says, â??I donâ??t think you have to worry about that man anymore.â?

The girl asks, â??How do you know?â?

Krissy says, â??I donâ??t know. I have a great feeling you do not have to be forced to do things for him any longer.â?

The girl says, â??I have to do whatever he says without a word. I am bound to him.â?

Krissy continues, â??Do not worry about that. You are no longer bound to him or to anyone.â?

The girlâ??s eyes widen once more.

She asks, â??How and what did you do?â?

Krissy shakes her head and says, â??I do not know.â?

The girl looks over at Duel and says, â??Please release me. I am no longer going to attack you.â?

Duel puts away his swords. The girl sits up and looks at them both.

She says, â??My name is Elfy. I am thankful for all your help. Please allow me to continue to be at both of your sides.â?

Duel and Krissy look at each other and nod their heads in agreement.

Krissy smiles down at the girl and says, â??You may stay with us as long as you like.â?

Elfy says, â??Thank you, thank you very much. What are your names?â?

Duel answers, â??I am Duel.â?

Krissy says, â??And I am Krissy. Itâ??s nice to meet you, Elfy.â?

Theyall get up from the ground. The girls walk off. Duel stands there looking at his hands. Krissy turns around and looks at him.

She says, â??Come on Duel. Letâ??s go!â?

He looks at them and runs after them.

Episode - 4 - The First Quest Starts!


Elfy sits deep in thought on a bench near the north gate of Zant, and would soon join Krissy and Duel after their little fight. She ponders how they both trusted her so quickly and easily. She realizes how happy she is to have met them, and knows there is something special about them both and wants to help them any way she possibly can. As Elfy sits and thinks, Duel and Krissy speak with Spero, a scientist who is often called a crazy old man by the townspeople.

The group had noticed Spero earlier and that he seemed worried about something. Krissy asked Duel if they could all try to help the man. Duel didnâ??t want to at first, but at Krissyâ??s pleading, he finally agrees.

Spero is pacing back and forth, saying, â??Oh dear!! Oh dear!!â?

Krissy asks, â??What is wrong? You seem worried.â?

Spero stops pacing for only a second, then continues walking back and forth, repeating the phrase â??Oh dear! Oh dear!â? Spero smokes his pipe furiously, only taking it out of his mouth to blow puffs of smoke. Krissy still feels very concerned for the man, as Duel stands next to her, feeling rather irritated.

Duel says, â??What is wrong with him, to not answer you?â?

Krissy looks at Duel and replies, â??I donâ??t know. It must be something big forhim to be so scared.â?

Elfy looks over at Duel and Krissy and notices that Spero wonâ??t talk to them. She gets up from the bench and heads over to them.

Krissy asks Spero again, â??Whatâ??s wrong?â?

Spero doesnâ??t stop at all this time, still pacing and repeating the same words to himself.

Elfy is now standing by Duel. She says, â??This is typical of Spero. He wonâ??t talk to many people, unless he knows you personally or are someone very important.â? She then yells, â??Hey, Spero!â?

Spero stops and turns, looking at Elfy. He says, â??You look well, Elfy.â?

â??Yea, thanks to these two,â? she says, looking at Duel and Krissy. â??This is Duel,â? she tells Spero as she points to Duel, â??And this is Krissy.â?

Spero looks at them, then explains, â??Elfy, you know that I have been working on a formula to vaccinate the infected creatures, right?â?

â??Yea, why?â?

He continues, â??Well, recently the Woopies have ran amok in Zant. During the event they stole some important notes from my lab.â?

Krissy replies, â??Thatâ??s terrible, is there anything we can do to help you?â?

Duel looks at Krissy and asks, â??Are you sure you want to do this?â?
Krissy doesnâ??t answer, but looks at Duel and just smiles. Duel rubs the back of his head and sighs, â??Ok, if you want to.â?

Spero says, â??Are you sure you want to do this? It will be a difficult quest.â?

Krissy answers, â??Yes.â?

Spero continues, â??Well, there are three pages of notes. I am sure of this--one was stolen by a Woopie, another was stolen by a Woopie Chef, and the third was stolen by the Woopie King. You can find Woopies through the gate near my home,but to find the King you must go atop the mountain to the northeast. You willfind the path to the top at the back of the mountain. Be warned though; the King is a tough opponent.â?

Duel looks at Spero and asks, â??This King has never been defeated?â?

Spero answers, â??He has not been defeated by anyone in this area. I have heard that Cornell has asked for Junon Polis to send someone to kill the beast. He has been causing us a lot of trouble.â?

Duel turns his head and looks into the sky, noticing a tall mountain to the northeast.

He asks, â??Is that the mountain you are talking bout?â? as he points towards it.

Spero looks and answers, â??Yep, thatâ??s it alright.â?

Duelâ??s eyes become sharper and he says, â??Ok, thank you. Krissy, are we ready to go?â?

Krissy looks at him with a sad expression, â??Yeaâ?¦â?

Elfy gives out a soft sigh.

Duel walks toward the gate leading towards the mountain. Krissy and Elfy follow behind. As the group walks under the arch of the gate, Dual and Elfy equip their weapons--Duel taking out his duals and breaking the seal clasping them together; Elfy equipping her shield, with the sword and sheath behind it.

They look around the area. There are a lot of Woopies around them, but none of them have noticed the group yet. There seemed to be so many Woopies they didnâ??t know how they could possibly find the notes. They suddenly hear a howl to their left; they look and see a Woopie staring directly at them. Almost immediately, every Woopie in the area turns to them--some with butcherâ??s knives, some carrying no weapons. The Woopies begin to run directly towards the group.

Duel says, â??Damn it! There must be close to fifty of them!

Episode - 5 - Krissy's Revelation!


The woopies are still charging at the group. Duel gets in front of Krissy, with his duals ready, one high near his legs and the other near his waist, and Elfy stands next to Duel with her shield and sword still sheathed out in front of her. Two runs at Duel they both slash their Butcherâ??s Knives at him. He blocks both attacks, but he is having a tough time keeping them at bay.

Duel looks to his right quickly and notices a rock flying at his face. He dodges it but barely. He lets go of his block with one of his sword, and leaps toward the woopie with the other sword still blocking the butcherâ??s knife. He slashes the abdomen of the woopie with his long sword.

Elfy was still blocking the attack of the one woopie. She notices two more woopies running towards her to the left. She puts the top of her shield horizontally with the sword to the left. She grabs the handle of the sword, pulls the shield back and thrusts it forward making the woopie in front of her stagger backwards. By this time the two woopies caught up to her. She pulls her sword out and slashes both of them and they fall to the ground.

A woopie is running towards Krissy now. Duel looks over his shoulder at Krissy; he notices the woopie running at her. He quickly looks back in front of him and notices a woopies slashing his knife at him. He dodges left to avoid the attack. He lunges forward cutting through the beast. The woopie falls to the ground.

Duel kicks a woopie that was standing next to him after he attacked the other woopie. It falls to the ground. He looks back at Krissy. The woopie was now at her; she has her magic shield up, but she was having trouble holding it up. He flips his long sword over holding it by the tip, and throws it at the woopie. It pierceâ??s the chest of the woopie. He holds out his hand and a light appears around the long sword. Then it disappears soon after a light appears near his hand. He notices a woopie standing behind him. He jumps into the air, grabs the long sword. Duel is now behind the woopie. He lunges forward and stabs the woopie from behind.

Elfy is now getting attacks from three woopies. She quickly slashes the chest of one of the woopies then quickly guards a strike with her sword from another woopie while defending off countless strikes from the last woopie with her shield. Elfy moves her sword out of the way as the woopie is about to hit it. The woopie stumbles forward as he does Elfy lunges forward slash the neck of the woopie, and falls to the ground. The last woopie strikes her shield again. This time as the woopie moves sword back to strike again, she quickly moves her shield and knees the woopie in the stomach. She then strikes the woopie with her shield causing him to fall backward to the ground. She jumps in the air and lands on the woopie stabbing her sword into it.

She notices two woopies to either side of her. She rolls backwards avoiding one of the blades, but she gets hit at her right thigh from the other woopie. Her wound starts to bleed. She puts her hand over the wound then looks at the woopie that hit her. It was licking her blood from the blade. She charges the woopie. She stab it in the chest takes from the beast spins around and smacks the left side of its face. The woopie flies off to the right after being hit from Elfy.

She says, â??Dumb ass woopies.â? She turns and looks at the other woopie.

The woopie slightly jumps when she looks at him, and he looks around seeing no other woopie near him. He gets down on all fours and charges. As he gets closer he sticks out his knife. When he gets right up close to her, he jumps up into the air stabbing her in the chest. She suddenly disappears. He looks to his right and sees her. She raises her shield into the air then brings it down smacking the woopie in the back of the head. He flys forward like the other woopie. Elfy sits on the ground exhausted, she look ever at Duel being surrounded by six woopies.

She said to herself, â??Heâ??ll be fine.â?

She looks around at all the woopies she just killed. She notices a piece of paper near one of them. She picks it up and unfolds it. She reads it and smiles, and then puts it into her inventory.

Duel looks around him noticing the six woopies around him. Two in front and two behind and one on either side if him. He kicks the one to his right, and it falls backwards to the ground. The other woopies slash their swords at him, just as the swords were about to hit him, he crouches down and sweeps his right foot under the two woopies that were in front of him. He stabs his swords into the ground beside him. He puts his hand on the ground and lifts himself up and kicks the woopie that was to his left in the chin. He flips and lands on his feet on the ground. He crouches down between his swords; he grabs the sword to his left with his right hand and with his left hand the sword to his right.

He looks up at the woopies that were behind him. He jumps towards them and strikes them with his swords, and they fall dead to the ground. He stands up and turns around looking at the other four woopies. The one to his right starts to get up.

Duel hears a sound come from behind him, were Krissy is. He turns his head to look at Krissy, right as she was about to get in his view he noticed that the woopie is about to attack him. He looks at the woopie. He places his swords in the path of the knife the woopie was striking at him. He then takes one of his swords and stabs the woopie. The woopie falls to the ground. He spins around quickly and hits the knife of the woopie behind him. The knife flies out of the woopieâ??s hand. He slashes the woopie and it falls to the ground.

Duel looks over at Krissy to find that she has collapsed face down on the ground.

He yells,� Krissy!�

He runs over to her, and turns her over. Krissy is breathing heavily. Duel puts his arms under her and picks her up, he notices a pack of woopies start to charge at him.

He yells,� Elfy, help me get Krissy out of here.�

Elfy looks over at Duel and Krissy, then over at a pack of six woopies running over to him.

She says,� Damn!�? She gets up and runs over to Duel.

She tells Duel, â??Get her out of here, I can handle these.â? She takes her sword out of its sheath. He turns around and runs with Krissy in his arms to Zant. The woopies are now surrounding Elfy. She looks around her at all the woopies. She sheathes her sword, opens her and a scroll appears in her hand. She pricks her finger and opens the scroll. She wipes her blood accross the scroll. She closes it and hold it between both her hands.

Elfy closes her eyes and yell, "Force Charm!"

The woopies go flying suddenly in all directions. Elfy runs to catch up to Duel.

Duel is now inside the walls of Zant. He lays Krissy on a bench. He stands over her looking at her. She breathes normally. She seems so peaceful, but she w
on't open her eyes for Duel. Elfy finally catches up to Duel, and looks down at Krissy.

Elfy asks, "What is wrong with her?"

"I don't know. Lets take her to a cleric, maybe they might know what to do," responds Duel.

After Duel says that he hears a snap and it echoes. He looks over at Elfy, she is not moving almost frozen. He looks over at the crowds of people also seemingly frozen. He stays hearing echoing foot steps closing in on him. He looks around trying to find where the foots steps are coming from.

Duel hears a voice that sounds familar, "Taking her to a cleric would be unwise."

He turns around looking back at the bench Krissy is laying on, and behind it there stood the same man as before, The Mysterious Man. The man looks down at Krissy, lowers his sunglasses and focuses his eyes. He looks over her entire body.

"I see, she has choosen this time," says the man.

"Who is she?" asks Duel.

"Someone very special," answers the man.

Krissy looks around and notices that her friends are not with her. All she can see around her is white, but then she notices two color lights, blue and red, in a form of two swords. Krissy walks towards the two colored lights. As she gets closer she notices a woman is holding the swords. Suddenly the swords disappear. She now notices that the person has wings, they are folded back behind her. She also has long?purple hair and wearing a pure white toga.

The woman says, "I finally get to meet you, Kyrsten."

Episode - 6 - Arua's Unveiling!


The woman says: â??I finally get to meet you, Kyrsten.â?

Krissy looks around the space she is in and also notices some fairies flying all around the area. She is so taken in by all that is happening that she does not listen to the woman in front of her.

â??Kyrsten, please you need to listen.â? the woman says and Krissy looks over at her again.

â??Much better, now do you know where you might be or who I am?â? asks the woman.

Krissy hesitates, â??No, I do not. What has happened to me? What has happened to my friends? To Duel!?!â?

She smiles, â??Worry not they are fine and so are you. You are only here in mind and spirit. You are alright in the living world.â?
As she says that she snaps her fingers and a sphere appears in front of Krissy showing Krissy laying on a bench with Duel and Elfy standing over her; the mysterious man is there as well. She continues, â??See you are alright. Itâ??s quite a strain on the Visitorâ??s body to bring it here, so only the spirit and mind are brought.â?

â??Do you know who I am?â? she repeats.

â??I am sorry, but I do not.â? Krissy answers.

She sighs, â??I thought as much. I have been absent from the living worldsâ?? history for far too long, and Hebarn knows of such. I have waited far too long to do these recent events.â?

Krissy is puzzled, â??I donâ??t understand why Iâ??ve been brought here, brought forth in front of someone or something I do not know.â?

â??All your questions will be answered in do time. Now I shall tell you the identity of the person youâ??ve labeled as, Mysterious Stranger.â? says the woman.

Back in the living world, Duel is arguing with the mysterious stranger as to why he shouldnâ??t take Krissy to a cleric.

â??Taking Krysten to a cleric will do nothing but worsen her. You shall learn the truth in do time Duel.â? says the mysterious stranger.

Duel yells, â??Tell me why I shouldnâ??t now! I donâ??t like being out of the picture!â?

The Mysterious Man looks up in the sky and answers, â??You shall soon, just donâ??t take her to any cleric for now.â?

â??I wonâ??t for now, but I donâ??t like this at all. I wonâ??t wait long before I change my mind.â? Duel says agitatedly.

The Mysterious Man suddenly disappears. Duel crosses his arms and sits in front of the bench Krissy is laying on, and worries about her.

Back in the other world only a moment has passed by. The Mysterious Man appears next to the woman with his right arm at his stomach and bows to her saying, â??Yes my lady?â?

The woman turns towards the man and says, â??Quick as always Sheppard, my loyal servant.â?

She continues, â??I believe youâ??ve already had the pleasure of meeting Krysten here.â?

Without moving a muscle or looking up he answers, â??Yes my lady, she is just to be expected beingâ?¦â?

She cut him off saying, â??Its not that time yet. She is not yet ready.â?

â??Yes my lady, I am sorry I shouldnâ??t have over stepped my place. What is it you called me here for my lady?â? asks Sheppard.

â??Ah yes, impatient as always I see, so Iâ??ll get to the point for you.â? she takes out a small red glowing sphere and holds it between her fingers, â??Give this to Duel and place it on his Inventory. I believe he is ready to wield this stone.â?

Sheppard holds out his hand and the woman places it on his palm, he then grasps the gem in his hand replies, â??Yes my lady, Anything more?â?

â??Yes, there is one more task I ask of you Sheppard. You shall accompany Kyrsten. Aid her, help her, but do not use your angelic powers just yet.â? she says.

He replies, â??Yes my lady; as you wish. I shall return to Kyrstenâ??s body and wait for her to return to the world of the living.â?

She turns back towards Krissy smiling, â??Now where were we? Ah, I believe I was going to tell you who he is, right?â?

Krissy slowly answers, â??Ummâ?¦â?

â??Something on your mind? Ah, I believe I know what. Please do not let it get you confused, pass it out of mind. You will learn what he was going to say someday.â? she says.

â??Ok, you seem like trusting person.â? answers Krissy.

She smiles, â??Good, now back to that man Sheppard. Shall I tell you about him?â?

â??Sure; alright, it will be good since he will be with me for a while.â? replies Krissy.

â??Yes, thatâ??s right. Sheppard has been with me for a long time. Over one hundred years. He was once like you, a visitor. He wonâ??t come to admit that any longer. He has had his powers for far too long, but nonetheless, he cannot go back to being a visitor as he has been with me for far too long to give up. His lifetime as a visitor has far been complete. Not all visitors come to aid me when they die, they hardly ever do. I can only recall two ever coming to me but neither died as visitors. Anyway I am getting far ahead of myself. You shall learn more on this subject later. For now you shall learn who I am, since you do not know me, and not many visitors know of me. I cannot believe how much he has corrupted the society in such a short time frame. I am the Goddess Arua, the creator of the seven worlds.â? says Arua.

â??So you are a Goddess, youâ??ve mustâ??ve been alive for a very long time?â? asks Krissy.

Arua answers, â??Yes, I was alive for so long, too long. So long that I have forgotten how many years it has been.â?

â??What do you mean by, was alive? Did you die?â? she askes.

â??Yes, sadly I died a few months back I think. I donâ??t remember. I used my power to keep my spirit alive for a while longer.â? says Arua.

Krissy is sad now and asks, â??Why did you keep your spirit alive and how can a goddess die?â?

Aura puts her hand on Krissyâ??s head and says, â??Do not worry. Everythingâ?¦â?

Arua is interupted by a chubby fairy with short red hair.

Arua asks, â??Kaizy, what is it?â?

Kaizy whispers in Aruaâ??s ear. Arua nods and looks back down to Krissy.

Arua continues, â??As I was saying, do not worry. Everything will be fine. Right now I need to go deal with something. Please go help your friend complete his errand with Spero. Sheppard should have returned to him by now. I will return you here when I am ready to tell you more.â?

Kaizy vanishes. Arua jumps into the air and her wings quickly unfold and start to flap. While hovering in mid-air, she looks down at Krissy and says, Arua says, â??Fairwell for now,â? and snaps her fingers. A bright light shrouds Krissy.

Back in the world of the living, Krissy suddenly wakes up and Duel immediately stands up.

Duel asks, â??What happened to you?â?

Krissy answers, â??The Goddess Arua wanted to meet with me. I am not to sure what else I know though. I am still really confused.â?

Krissy sits up and looks around. She notices that no one is moving. Suddenly Sheppard appears next to Duel. Duel jumps and looks at Sheppard. Sheppard is looking at the red sphere that Arua gave him to put in Duelâ??s inventory.

Sheppard is thinking, â??Why is she giving this to him? I donâ??t understand. Why to him?!?â?

He looks at Krissy; then Duel, and says, â??Hold out your hand with your inventory on it and open the palm.â?

â??Why should I?â? asks Duel.

â??Duel, heâ??s a friend. His name is Sheppard. You can trust him.â? Krissy says.

Sheppard looks at Krissy and Duel responds, â??Alright.â?

Sheppard looks back at Duel who is holding his right hand out with the palm open. Sheppard holds his wrist with one hand and slowly lowers the sphere to the diamond shape. When its right above the Inventory a small circle opens up and Sheppard lays the sphere in it leaving half the sphere still exposed.

â??There we go. All done.â? says Sheppard.

Sheppard raises his left hand and snaps his fingers. Everyone starts to move again. Elfy looks up, Krissy is suddenly sitting up and Duel looking at Sheppard.

Elfy asks, â??What is going on?â?

Krissy answers, â??This is Sheppard. He will be traveling with us for a while.â?

Duel looks at Krissy. And she looks back at him with a smile on her face. Duel crosses his arms and looks up at the sky.

Sheppard looks at Elfy and responds, â??Nice to meet you, Elfy.â?

Elfy replies, â??Same to you.â? Looking back at Krissy she asks, â??What happened to you?â?

â??I am not so sure. All I know is that my spirit and mind was taken to a place to talk with Arua.â? Krissy answers.

�Who is that?� Elfy asks.

â??She is a Goddess. The creator of the worlds, I think. She didnâ??t explain too much to me. She was interrupted with another matter, anyway why donâ??t we go finish the quest Spero gave us.â? Krissy says.

â??Ok sounds good to me.â? says Elfy.

Duel looks at Krissy and says, â??Sure.â?

Krissy gets up from the bench and brushes herself off.

â??So what do we have to do again?â? asks Duel.

Sheppard looks at Duel. Krissy answers, â??We have to find three notes that a Woopie, Woopie Chef, and Woopie King stole from Spero.â?

Elfy responds, â??I got one from a Woopie before you collapsed.â?

�Ok, lets go. I hate doing nothing for so long.� says Duel.

â??Alright then.â? says Krissy.

Krissy starts to walk towards the gate outside town. Duel walks beside her, and Elfy walks behind them. Krissy looks back and notices Sheppard slowing following behind them.

Episode - 7 - King Showdown!


When the group enters the outskirts of Zant, they notice no Woopie around. Duel, Elf, and Krissy all look at each other.

â??Where could they gone.â? asks Elfy.

â??I dunno, at the least lets go to where Spero told us where the king lives.â? responds Duel.

Krissy responds, â??Sure.â?

The group continues to walk towards the mountain. Sheppard looks up on the mountain top. He notices a giant grey haired Woopie holding a wooden shield and sword. Suddenly he raises his head and howls. The howl startles the rest of the group. They look around wondering whatâ??s making that sound.

Sheppard says, â??Look up there.â? And points at the Woopie King.

The Woopie king now has his sword raised above his head as the rest of the group looks up at him. He slowly stops howling and lowers his sword. He looks down directly at Duel and points his sword at him. Duel starts to get angry for the Woopie King looking at him. Woopie King lets out another quick howl.

â??You two can look after Krissy for a while, right?â? says Duel.

Sheppard looks at Duel and notices his pupils have disappeared, then he looks at his palm noticing a reddish light. Duel learns forward a bit as Sheppard reaches out to try and grab his arm, but he disappears. Sheppard looks up the path they were going and notices Duel farther up the path, then he disappears again.

â??What?!? What is this? When did they get here?! Even the Gluttons are here!â? Elfy says.

The group was completely surrounded by Woopies, Woopie Chiefs, and Woopie Gluttons.

Krissy says, â??How are we going to take on all these? Why did Duel leave us like that?â?

â??Heâ??s not himself right now.â? Answers Sheppard, â??This isnâ??t good. She isnâ??t going to like this, but Iâ??ll teach you a little magic spell. You used this twice before, unknowingly though.â?

â??Are you sure you should be doing this for me Sheppard?â? asks Krissy.

â?No, but we have little choice in this matter. Iâ??m sure she will understand.â? Answers Sheppard.

A book suddenly appears in Sheppards hands, and he opens it, and rapidly skims the pages.

â??Found it! Stand up straight with your right arm out in front, and repeat what I say, Eternal Protection.â? Says Sheppard.

Krissy holds out her right arm and repeats, â??Eternal Protection.â? A light glass-like wall appears in front of her.

â??That barrier only protects from the front. Its not much, but that will have to do for the time being.â? Says Sheppard.

Krissy nods. Sheppard reaches behind him with his left hand, a yellow light appears suddenly and then as quickly disappears. He pulls out a black gun with his left hand, and reaches into a small pouch on his belt with his right hand pulling out some small rock-like items. He puts them into a small hole on the gun. Elfy has taken out her shield and unsheathed her sword.

Elfy says, â??They are starting to charge!â?

Duel is following a sloped path up the mountain. There are tons of Woopies, but none are attacking him. The path turns to the right, he is now back on the side where he last saw the Woopie King. Noticing there is a wall and no other path he looks around, but canâ??t find the King. He hears another howl. He looks behind him and up into the air, noticing the King jumping down. Duel suddenly does a back flip out of the way, just before the King landed on him, he back flips once more. The Woopie King growls at Duelâ??s blank stare. The gem in Duel palm glows a brighter red now. The long swordâ??s edge, in Duelâ??s right hand, begins to glow white colour. The long swordâ??s tip sticks into the ground.

He slowly and calmly says, â??Demon Fangâ?

He swings his long sword in the air towards the King leaving a small cut in the ground from where the tip was. Then suddenly a light appears from the ground, it was as tall and wide as him. The light barrels towards the King, tearing up the ground as it goes. The King waits to just before the light is about to hit him then jumps out of the way of the blast. The light disappears when the ground starts to slope downwards leaving a small ditch in its path. He suddenly disappears, the king turns around noticing Duel.

He rams his shoulder into the belly of the King and says, â??Beast.â?

Suddenly there is a loud roar and the king flies into the rock wall of the mountain dropping his butcher knife as he hit the wall. Leaving a small crater in the wall. The King picks himself up, and grabs for his knife.

Duel says with a blank face, â??I remember you being harder then this Woopie King, have you lost your old power? I sure havenâ??t.â?

The King says, â??You, how are you alive?â?

â??Enough, I donâ??t have the time for idle chit-chat.â? Says Duel.

The King replies, â??Ash you wish.â?

The King drops both his sword and shield and suddenly a bigger and metal shield appears, along with a bigger butcher knife, twice the length from the other one.

â??Well, isnâ??t that a sight for me. Well Iâ??ve had enough with this chatting.â? Says Duel.

Duel disappears again. The King smashes his sword into the ground. He reappears in the air jumping away from his sword.

Duel while still in the air swings his sword in the air at the King, and yells, â??DEMON FANG!â?

A light appears like before, but this time in the air. The light barrels towards the King. He lands on the ground and disappears again. The King forced to dodge the blast by going to his left. He jumps to his left and lands back on the ground. Duel reappears next to the King again. Both of his swords were glowing white this time.

He says, â??Tiger Blade.â?

The King quickly puts his shield in the way of his sword, in time to block the leaping strike from Duel. The force of the attack even makes the King lift up into the air. The King quickly put his knife in the air and blocks the second sword going down.

The King swipes his knife at Duelâ??s abdomen. They continue to lock sword and shield together.

Sheppard and Elfy have already taken out several dozen Woopies.

Several Woopies are attacking Krissysâ?? barrier. She tries to keep her focus so the barrier doesnâ??t collapse.

Krissy says, â??I canâ??t keep this up.â?

Sheppard replies, â??You must!â?

â??You damn Woopies fight me! Donâ??t pray on the weak. Fight the strong! Fight me!â? yells a voice.

Suddenly all the Woopies stop attacking the group and runs towards the voice. Krissy falls to her knees, she is breathing heavily. Elfy sheaths her sword and looks over where the voice came from. She sees a man covered, from head to toe, in a gold and white coloured armour. He has a huge Vivor shield in his right hand, and a long Nimrod piece spear in his left hand.

The Woopies have started to surround the man. He drops his shield and looks around him. He starts to rapidly spin around. The Woopies starts to all fly backward and slam on the ground. Still spinning he picks up his shield and then stops.

He lifts his spear onto his shoulder and walks to the group.

He asks, â??Is everyone alright here?â?

Krissy stands up and answers, â??Weâ??re fine, thanks to you. Who are you?â?

The Stranger says, â??I am Galo, a Lord in Camelot. You are?â?

Krissy replies, â??I am Krissy, this is Sheppard, and that is Elfy.â?

Galo looks up in the sky and notices Duel fighting the Woopie King, â??And whoâ??s that?

Krissy looks where Galo is, and answers, â??Thatâ??s Duel, heâ??s with us.â?

â??He seems to be holding his own against the King pretty well. Anyway Iâ??ve been sent here by the Righteous Crusaders to deal with the Woopie problems here.â?

The King swings his knife down, Duel puts his swords in the air and blocks the attack.

The King says, â??Why are you here anyway?â?

"Duel?was asked to retrieve three research notes stolen by the Woopies, and one you have. When you pointed your sword at him you awakened me!�

The sphere glows even brighter. Duel pushes the knife back. He lets it go, and dodges the strike. He rams his shoulder into the king again.

He says, â??Beast.â?

There is another loud roar, and the king flies into the rock wall again. Duel runs at the King. The King throws his shield at Duel. His swords start to glow green. He stops and lifts them in front of him, and crosses them.

Duel says, â??Guardian.â?

A green bubble forms around Duel. The thrown shield hits the bubble and gets thrown back at the King. He catches the shield. He drops his sword and shield to the ground. Duel looks at him. He then stabs both his swords into the ground.

â??Lets stop this. I no longer wish to pursue this. If Iâ??d known youâ??d come Iâ??d would have never gone along with that manâ??s request.â? Says the King.

â??If you give me the research notes he came here to retrieve. I too will end this.â? Says Duel

The Woopie King starts to walk forward to Duel. The sphereâ??s glow starts to diminish. The King stops in front of Duel. By now the sphereâ??s glow has completely faded away. Duel starts to fall backwards. The King grabs the back of his shirt to stop him from falling.

He picks him up and sets him on the ground leaning next to a wall. The group finally reaches the summit of the mountain. They are looking around at all the destruction in the area. The King turns around noticing the group. He howls in the air, then looks back at the group.

Suddenly a Woopie runs by them. He stops next to the king and hands him a paper. The King gives out a bark and the Woopie runs into a small cave. The King takes out another piece of paper, and hold them out in his hand towards the group.

â??Youâ??re giving them up to us?â? asks Krissy.

He nods.

Krissy walks towards the King. She grabs the notes.

Krissy asks, â??Why are you giving them back? And why did you take them in the first place.â?

He just looks back at Duel then back at Krissy. Then starts to walk towards his weapons.

Krissy walks over to Duel. She kneels down in front of him, and smiles. Duel starts to open his eyes. He looks up at Krissy.

He asks, â??What happened?â?

"You donâ??t remember?â? replies Krissy.

The King turns around and looks at Duel then at his palm. He turns back around and leans over to pick up his weapons. He picks up his sword and shield. He quickly stands up straight, and blocks a strike from Galo. He starts to growl at him.

Krissy turns around and yells, â??Stop it Galo!â?

â??Iâ??m sorry, but I came here to kill him, I have no choice.â? Says Galo.

Krissy looks back at Duel, who is starting to stand up. He looks at Krissy.

He asks, â??You donâ??t want Galo to hurt the King?â?

â??No, I donâ??t. I have a feeling he was being used just like Elfy was.â? Answers Krissy.

â??Alright.â? Replies Duel.

He runs to his swords, and picks them up. He charges at Galo. Galo notices Duel charging, he drops his shield and rapidly spins. Duel and the King flies back from the force of the attack.

Duel stands up, angrily looking at Galo. His long swordâ??s edge starts to glow white. In frustration Duel swings his sword in the air at Galo. A white light appears from the ground and rapidly charges at Galo. He turns around and puts his shield in front of him. The King pushes Galo out of the way of the attack, and nimbly dodges it himself.

The smoke clears and there is a huge cut about half way through the mountain. Duel is leaning forward trying to catch his breath. He looks up at what he had done. His eyes widen.

â??Did I do that?â? says Duel.

Krissy says, â??Galo please stop. Donâ??t hurt him.â?

Galo looks at the chasm the attack made.

He replies, â??They wonâ??t like this, but I will. If I know the he wonâ??t attack Zant in the future. They may not send someone so caring next time.â?

Galo looks at the Woopie King, then continues, â??And thank you.â?

The Woopie King nods and then jumps on a higher ledge then runs off and disappears.

â??Well lets get these notes back to Spero. Where will you be heading Galo.â? Asks Krissy.

â??You are too friendly Krissy, to forgive me after what has happened.â? Replies Galo.

Krissy smiles as Duel walks towards her.

Galo continues, â??Anyway Iâ??ll be heading back to Junon Polis to give my report to the Righteous Crusaders.â?

Galo takes out a scroll and opens it. He pricks his thumb and runs the blood on it.

Galo says, â??Goodbye.â?

â??I still donâ??t know what has been happening lately, or how I did that attack.â? Asks Duel.

Krissy smiles at Duel, and says, â??Lets not worry about it at this time. Weâ??ll learn when the time comes.â?

Sheppard lowers his glasses and looks at Duelâ??s palm. He then raises them.

â??Come on lets go back to Spero.â? Says Krissy.

The group starts walking down the mountain heading back to Zant.

Episode - 8 - Precise Scout!


The group is now heading towards the northeast region of the Breezy Hills area. Cornell once again gave them another quest after only a days rest. Unfortunately Elfy said she had to check up on something and would be gone for the day. Duel, Krissy, and Sheppard embarked on the quest without Elfy. Cornell said that there have been reports of a Giant Pomic rallying the Pomics in the area. For what reasons he didnâ??t know, but it couldnâ??t be a good one. He said that the people at the Breezy Hills camp may know why the Giant Pomic is doing such things.

The group went to the camp Cornell spoke about, and asked around. None of the villagers knew why the Giant was acting the way it was. It has been around for at least a decade, without any trouble up until a few days ago.

The townsâ?? people told them where they could find the Giant, which was in an area in a lower elevation than this camp. After crossing two bridges and go left and youâ??ll be able to follow a path that will lead safely to that area. The person also said if they went right they could get there faster, but its more dangerous because theyâ??d have to go down an unstable rock arch.

Duel is walking with his hands behind his back. Krissy is sort of skipping as she walks along. Sheppard is looking around as he walks. The group finally crosses the second bridge

Duel sighs, â??How much longer. I donâ??t like all this walkingâ?

Krissy smiles, â??It canâ??t be too much farther. This is the second bridge the man told us about. So which way should we go?â?

Unknowingly to the group there is a person in a nearby tree. The person is a blue haired girl wearing a Fancy Sky, with orange gloves and Marble Shoes. Laying on a branch with her hands behind her head resting and a bow behind her. She watches the group on the bridge out the corner of her eye.

Krissy looks at Sheppard.

He replies â??It would be wise to go left, it is safer.â?

Duel says, â??Letâ??s go right. Itâ??s faster.â?

Duel runs off to the right.

Sheppard sighs, â??That kidâ?¦â? and walks after Duel.

Krissy just smiles, and follows behind the group.

The blue haired girl sits up facing towards Krissy. She leans back and rolls under the branch grabbing her bow as she falls, then quickly grabs the branch with her other hand. She quietly lands on the ground and moves behind the tree. Peaking her head just slightly out to watch Krissy.

The girl notices that Krissy is now looking where she just was. Krissy turns back around and runs to catch up with Duel and Sheppard.

The girl holds out her right arm and a small hawk flies down and lands on her arm. She whispers to the hawk, and kisses it on its head then the hawk flies off towards where the group was heading.

The group reaches the rock arch.

Duel says, â??It doesnâ??t look that bad. Iâ??ll go first.â?

Krissy says, â??Ok, be careful Duel.â?

Duel replies, â??No problem.â?

Duel takes a step onto the rock arch. He starts to follow the path down the arch. As he goes small rocks keep falling off the arch.

Duel turns around and says, â??See its fine.â?

Krissy smiles at Duel and starts to walk on the arch towards him. As she gets closer to Duel she starts to slip on the rock. She slips and slides off the side. She grabs the edge of the arch, but loses her grip she screams as she falls...

Duel yells, â??Krissy!â?

He takes out his swords and drops one on the ground and leaps over the side, his sword starts to glow red as he stabs it into the rock with his sword, and somehow grabs Krissyâ??s arm. Keeping her from falling to the ground below. She looks down at the jagged rocks in the river below. She holds onto his arm with her hand. She looks up at Duel.

â??Donâ??t let me go!â? says Krissy.

Duel replies, â??I would never.â?

Sheppard rushes over, leans down and tries to grab Krissyâ??s arm to help pull her up, but he canâ??t reach her.

He says, â??Try and swing her up to me. I canâ??t reach her.â?

Duel starts to swing Krissy up towards Sheppard. He reaches down, missing Krissyâ??s arm on the first swing. Duel swings her up again, Sheppard grabs her arm, and pulls her up on the arch. Duel pulls himself back up on the arch. He is greeted with a hug from Krissy when he gets up.

Krissy says, â??Thank you Duel.â?

�It was nothing. It was my fault anyway. I was the one who wanted to come this way.� Said Duel.

Krissy replies â??Donâ??t be silly. I shouldâ??ve been more careful. You donâ??t need to blame yourself, ok?â?

Duel wraps his arms around her, and then says, â??Letâ??s get going I donâ??t want a repeat of that. I thought Iâ??d lost you.â?

Krissy lets go of Duel and stands up. He leans over the arch and pulls his sword out of the rock. He grabs his other sword and puts them away. Duel grabs Krissysâ?? hand.

He says, â??This time Iâ??ll lead you. Just follow where I go, ok?â?

She smiles and held his hand tighter. Krissy looks at Duel as he leads her down the path.

Duel steps on the ground and turns around looking at Krissy as she steps on the ground.

Krissy says, â??Thank you. I donâ??t think I couldâ??ve done that alone.â?

Krissy smiles at Duel as she still holding onto his hand.

Duel and Krissy hears a gun shot. Duel looks up at Sheppard holding his Gloria gun.

â??You two should pay more attention.â? Sheppard sighs.

Duel turns around and looks at the ground. A Pomic is laying on the ground, and next to him is its spear.

Duel says, â??Was he the welcoming party for us? Seems like the Giant Pomic has been waiting for us.â?

â??Indeed.â? Said Sheppard.

Duel takes out his swords and puts them in his hands. He looks back at Krissy.

â??Stay close to meâ?

She nods at him.

Duel looks up the path. There are many Pomics up ahead on the road, just walking around with their poorly made spears. Then all of a sudden all the Pomics look towards them.

Ten Pomics start to rush them. As they get closer Duel looks above them and notices a few spears flying towards them.

Duel thinks, â??This is bad! Krissy canâ??t avoid all these.â?

Duel looks around trying to figure out something to do. All of a sudden Krissy walks in front of Duel. She holds out her hand in front of her.

Duel watches as the spears keep getting closer and closer to Krissy. He wonders what she is doing.

She says, â??Eternal Protection.â?

The spears all of a sudden stop in front of Krissy and fall to the ground. Duel stand in awe at what just happens. Krissy turns around and looks at Duel.

Krissy laughs, â??He he.â?

Duel runs up behind Krissy slashing at a Pomic.

He looks back and says, â??Go back Sheppard will have to protect you.â?

Krissy runs beside Sheppard. He looks down at her. Duel slashes at the tip of a spear and cuts it off, then stabs the Pomic. He kicks another Pomic, it flies through the air and hits the ground.

Sheppard says, â??He likes to do things by himself too much.â?

â??Yeah, but thatâ??s what I like about him. Even though he acts like he just wants to be a loner he wants to be beside people. Guess thatâ??s why I think heâ??s stayed with me for so long.â? She says as she looks at the ground.

The blue haired girl is sitting on the cliff overhead of the group, with her legs dangling over the edge, watching Duel fight.

Duel jumps on the Pomic on the ground and stabs him. He takes his sword out of the body of the Pomic. He moves his abdomen, and dodges two spears. The spears miss Duel and attack the Pomics on either side of him.

He sticks his swords in the ground and grabs the two Pomics arms with either hands. He swings on into the river on the left and the other into two other Pomics causing them to fall over.

Duel looks up at the sky towards the rest of the pomics, noticing more spears coming at him.

He steps to the side dodging a few spears as they came at him. He leaned back and watched the remaining fly over him.

The girl looks over at the Pomics throwing the spears then at Krissy. She lays herself on the ground and crawls off.

Krissy looks up on the cliff where the girl was just sitting.

Duel picks up his swords from the ground. Then jumps in the air, just missing a strike from a Pomic. He lands behind it and cuts him with his sword. The Pomic falls to the ground. Duel side steps another spear, but steps into another spear cutting him in the stomach.

He stabs the Pomic that cut him, he leaves the sword in him. He grabs the spear of the other and swings him into the river.

He looks back at the sky noticing even more spears. The spears are coming down at him. Duel canâ??t dodge them all this time.

Suddenly an arrow strikes through a spear, then another breaks, and a third breaks. Leaving him enough room to avoid all the remaining spears.

Duel looks at the Pomics that were throwing the spears. Noticing that all are now dead and laying on the ground. He noticed a stick poking out of all the Pomics, he couldnâ??t tell what they are. He hears a splash in the water.

Krissy yells, â??Duel!â?

While Duel is distracted the two remaining Pomics come up from behind him. He turns around missing one of the spears, but gets stabbed in the chest. He pulls out the spear, he spins it between his fingers, then grabs it. He stabs the spear into the Pomic that missed him. He kicks the Pomic that stabbed him hard, it goes flying. He runs after it. Running by his sword, picking it up as he runs by.

He catches up to the Pomic flying through the air. Duelâ??s sphere starts to glow red. He jumps in the air next to the Pomic and spins in mid-air. He lands on the ground. When the Pomic hits the ground its head falls off and legs cut off.

Krissy runs at Duel. He looks at her with a stern look. The red glow starts to diminish. He blinks and looks at her with kind eyes.

She says, â??Wow, you did great Duel.â?

Krissy turns and looks at the small forest next to them.

She says, â??Whatâ??s that sound?â?

â??What sound?â? responds Duel.

â??It sounds like something big is walking towards us from the forest.â? Answers Krissy.

A thundering walk starts to come from the forest. Pomics start to pour out of the forestâ??s edge.

â??Pierce Arrow!â? says a voice.

A white line appears going through five Pomics and stops at a tree. The five Pomics collapse to the ground. Suddenly two trees bend, one towards the left and other to the right, a giant Pomic, the Giant Pomic, steps forward and releases the trees and they snap back to place. He lifts up a giant hammer and holds it in his hands.

The Giant Pomic stands there with several Pomics surrounding him. The giant lifts his hammer in the air, then slams it down with a thundering crush. The ground around the hammer breaks apart, and three huge chunks fly in the air.

Krissy falls to her knees from the earthquake caused by the attack.

The giant slams his fist into one of the chunks of ground. The chunk flies towards Krissy. She staggers to her feet.

She finally gets to her feet, but there isnâ??t enough time for her to put up her barrier. Suddenly Duel grabs Krissy, and both of them falls to the ground just missing the chunk of ground.

Duel says, â??Are you alright?â?

â??Yes, thanks to you.â?

Duel gets up and pulls Krissy to her feet.

Duel looks back at the Giant. A Pomic suddenly falls to the ground then a second falls too. Suddenly Duel sees someone running at the Giant. It is the blue haired girl. She has her bow on her back, and holding a small knife in her hand. She runs up to the Giant, grabs its arm and swings on his back. She grabs her knife with both her hands over her hand. She swings it down, but just before she hits. The Giant grabs her, and throws her towards the group.

Duel sighs, â??I am getting tired of saving people todayâ?¦â?

Duel runs at her, catches her, and slides on the ground on one knee. He lays her on the ground, moving the hair that was over her face. Duel notices that it was a young girl. He looks over at Krissy.

â??I think sheâ??s unconscious.â?

Krissy runs over at Duel. She kneels over the girl looking over her. She places her hand on her forehead and closes her eyes.

â??Sheâ??s fine, she just got too excited. Sheâ??ll be up and about soon.â?

Duel replies, â??Thatâ??s good. Now, about this big guyâ?.

Duel stands up, turns toward the giant and readies his weapons.

Episode - 9 - Awakening!


Duel runs at the Giant. The Giant pays no attention to Duel and stomps towards Sheppard. A Pomic places his spear in the way of Duel causing him to trip. When Duel stands up he is surrounded by the remaining Pomics.

Sheppard steps back as he shoots at the giant continuing to near him. The bullets just bounce right off the Giant Pomic. The Giant lifts up his hammer and swings it down towards Sheppard. He rolls left out of the way. Sheppard stands up then all of a sudden gets hit, and thrown left into the air. He lids on the ground a few feet. He stands up, his? whole left side is scratched up and bleeding. He coughs up blood and kneels down. The Giant starts walking at him again, dragging his hammer behind him.

Sheppard lifts up his right hand, about to snap his fingers, but stops. He looks up noticing the Pomic is now close to him. He gets thrown again, and slides on the ground and stops next to Krissy and the blue haired girl, unconscious

Krissy moves next to Sheppard examining his badly injured body. She places her hands over him and a light starts to blanket him as the bleeding slowly disappears.

The Giant Pomic is now looking at Krissy. He slowly walks toward her. Duel slightly notices the Giant's movements as he fends off the three Pomics attacking him. One stabs his spear at him, he moves the spear out of the way missing him. A second swings at him. He blocks the attack with his sword. They are dead locked as the Pomic tries to inch his spearâ??s blade toward Duel, and him trying to push it back.

The Pomic suddenly swings around and sweeps the spear at him. Duel jumps in the air. The other two Pomics stab their spears, one in the middle of his back, and the other at his shoulder.

Duel screams out in pain. He drops one of his swords. His red sphere starts to slowly glow a black color.

The Pomics pull out their spears, and he screams in pain a second time.

Krissy screams, â??Noooo!â?

Duel looks over at her. The Giant Pomic is now at Krissy. He swings his hammer down on her. Krissy tries to move out of the way, but her leg gets caught under the hammer.

She screams in a terrible pain.

Duel yells, â??Krissy!!!â?

Suddenly his sphereâ??s black glow grows.

â??Ahhhh!â? Duel screams.

He starts to levitate in the air, with his head leaning back. Suddenly a huge wind blows the Pomics away. A sound of a pulsing heart start to thunder the land. He curls up in a ball still floating in the air. A white colored sphere envelopes him. The pulsing starts to speed up. The ground starts to quake and trees shake.

The Pomics try to run up on the sphere, but when they get close a hug wind forms and? blows them away. The Giant is watching what is happening. Krissy is crawling away holding her leg, and watching Duel.

The pulsing stops. The Pomics again run up on the sphere. The sphere starts to crack all over the place, making horrid sounds. The Pomics fall to their knees. The sphere explodes sending balls of light all over the place. Duel is still floating in the air with his head leaned back. Two swords and sheaths appeared on his back; one red colored with a few odd symbols on the sheath, across his back, with the handle sticking over his left shoulder. The second is blue colored with a few odd symbols on the sheath, across his back near his waist, with the handle sticking out near the right of his waist.

He lifts his head up, and his hair begins to spike up, but one clump of hair stays over his face. He starts to lower to the ground. One foot touches the ground, then the second, and it spreads out. His eyes shoot open, they are very sharp.

The three Pomics are at him again. Two at his sides and one behind him. They all stab their spears at him. He steps back, and moves so the one behind him hits the blue sheath. He grabs the two other spears with his other hand.

â??Duel is so weak. Why couldnâ??t he kill you three without my help.â?

He breaks the two spears. He grabs his swords. The red one with his right hand, and blue with his left. He kneels on one knee.

â??Two Element Death.â?

A bright light appears enveloping the four, the light dissipates Revealing Duel still in the same position, holding his swords. Only two of the Pomics remained. One frozen in ice, the other burning in a fire. Duel releases his grip on his swords and stands up straight.

The Giant Pomic takes a step towards Krissy. Duel snaps his eyes towards him.

â??Donâ??t think Iâ??ve forgotten about you.â?

He grips his blue sword. He takes it out, as he does, a white light appears again. He continues to motion as heâ??s taking out a sword. A blue light takes the form of a blade. He places it in front of his face.

â??Celsiusâ?? Crystalâ??s unbreakable ice.â?

Suddenly the light shatters and a huge blue blade takes its place. The blade is curved at the end. The blade only sharpens on a single side. The blades guard is fancy, and the back of the handles was in a shape of a diamond.

Duel spins the blade around as he turns towards the Giant Pomic. Then raises it above his head, grabbing it with both hands.

â??Ice Trap!â?

He thrusts the blade into the ground. Ice starts to form in front of Duel, and continues to inch towards the Giant. Duel twists the blade in the ground. Then suddenly the ice starts to quickly? form towards the Giant then it forms around his legs. A block of ice forms around the legs of the Giant It starts to struggle trying to get free.

Duel pulls out his blade from the ground spins it around again, and puts it back in the sheath. The handle turns back into a normal sword handle again.

He leans over a picks up his two other swords. He examines both. He places them on top of each other. And grabs the blades with one hand.

â??Such a pathetic dual. No one can ever use these correctly.â?

Duel breaks the blades off the swords and tosses them aside. He opens his palm with the sphere on it and examines it, its color is black now.

â??Such a raw emotions. This kid needs to learn to control such emotions. They affect me too much, but I guess thatâ??s what I should expect.â?

He looks over at Krissy.

â??Too much is the same.â?

The Giant Pomic is attacking the surrounding ice with his hammer, but it isnâ??t making a dent. Duel turns to the Giant Pomic.

â??Its useless. Ice from my Celsiusâ?? Crystal cannot be shattered.â?

Duel starts walking towards him.

â??Only Efreetâ??s Passion can melt Celsius created ice.â?

He grabs the red sword with his left hand, and pulls it out. A red light appears as heâ??s pulling it out. Like the blue this sword also changes to a red blade. This blade however looked as though it was moving. The guard was crafted as though it was fire. There was a sphere on the guard it is swirling. The tip of the blade is touching the ground. The ground starts to turn to ash as he walks towards the Giant Pomic. He pulls out Celsiusâ?? Crystal with his right hand. He drags it too on the ground. The ground starts to turn to ice. He stops near the Giant Pomic.

â??Rising Falcon!â?

Duel jumps in the air and floats there for only a moment. He leans forward placing his blades in front of him. He flies at the Pomic.

Suddenly a symbol appears on the ground in front of the Pomic. A man appears in a white coat and a blue cape, with blonde hair, and holding a staff over his shoulder. He hold his staff in front of him, and lets it go.

The man says, â??Guard.â?

A light wall appears in front of the staff. Duel charges at it. He hits the wall, and is stopped dead. He kicks off the wall, and flies back. He sticks Celsiusâ?? Crystal in the ground as he slides and stops.

â??Just who the hell are you to stop that attack of mine?â?

â??I should ask you the same.â? Says the man as he grabs his staff.

â??I would gladly tell you who I was, but unfortunately I donâ??t remember my former name, only my fighting style.â?

â??Bah, I was asked to see who was the person causing all the problems with my Masterâ??s plans.â? Says the man.

The man sticks his staff into the ground, and raises his hand. A fire ball appears in his hand. He throws it at Duel.

â??Heh, you got to be kidding right? Such a weak spell wonâ??t effect me.â?

Duel raises his red sword in front of him in the path of the fire ball. The fire ball hits the sword and it is absorb into the sword. The sword starts to glow brighter.

â??Efreetâ??s Passion has fire hotter this that fire ball. It also absorbs all fire.â?

Duel looks at the man. The staff in the ground has lightning ground all around it, and the man has his hands in an odd form. Duel back flips. In the middle of doing that lightning strikes where he just was.

â??Not bad, but enough play time.â?

Duel raises both his swords into the air.

"Fierce Demon Fang!� he yells.

He slams them into the ground. A light appears and charges at the man, destroying the land as it went.

Duel hears a slight singing, with lyrics not understandable. Suddenly the light stop moving, the man isnâ??t moving, and the Giant Pomic stopped trying to get free.

Duel looks at Krissy. She is standing up with her hand clasped together and eyes shut.

â??Aâ?¦Krissy what are you doing?!â?

She stops singing. Unclasps her hands and looks at Duel.

â??Just who are you?? You arenâ??t the Duel I know.â? Asks Krissy.

â??And right now you arenâ??t the Krissy Duel knows. Like I told him. I donâ??t remember my past name I just know my fighting style.â? Responds Duel.

â??That is true. I do not know how I knew how to do that, but I did what I felt was right.â?

She looks at the man.

She continues, â??Something is strange about him. He doesnâ??t look like he wants to do what heâ??s done.â?

â??You are too kind for your own good, and Duelâ??s emotion for you are erratic. What about the Giant Pomic then? What will you do about him?â?

â??What we came here to do.â? Krissy answers.

Duel sighs, â??My attack cannot be stopped.â?

â??What can be done with the man?â? Krissy asks.

â??Simple just move him.â?

Duelâ??s eyes widen for a second.

â??Well well well, Duel has a stronger spirit. He hasnâ??t liked the fact Iâ??ve taken so much control over his body.â?

Duel puts his blades away, twisting them in the sheath and walks up to the man. He grabs him, notices a weird mark on the back of his palm, and throws him out of the way. The Demon Fang starts to move again. It passes by Duel by inches of him. It goes right through the Giant Pomic. When the attack disappears the Pomic too is gone.

â??Be lucky you have one friend amongst these people. If I were you Iâ??d lose all connection with those people you are working for, and soon. Next time if I surface I wonâ??t let you live, Arthur.â?

â??Howâ??d you know my family name? I thought you didnâ??t remember anything, but your fighting style?â? says Arthur.

â??I also remember my enemies, and how to read their language because of them is how I fight.â?

Arthur bows, and says, â??Thank you, but I, Peter Arthur, have no choice I must continue.â?

â??Leave now! Tell your master that, Efreetâ??s Passion and Celsiusâ?? Crystal has returned.â?

He says, â??Iâ?¦I canâ??tâ?¦â?

Duel disappears and suddenly Peterâ??s staff disappears. Duel reappears in front of him holding his staff out in front of him.

Duel yells, â??Leaveâ?¦â?

Duel breaks the staff in half with his hand.

Duel continues, â??NOW!â?

He stands up and sighs. A symbol appears under him, and he disappears.

Duelâ??s hair starts to fall back to normal. The sphere changes to blue. He closes his eyes.

He says, â??What happened? I donâ??t rememberâ?¦â?

His eyes open wide. He places his hand over his eyes. His mind starts to race. He sees parts of what he was doing. He lifts his hand up and looks at the sphere. He then grabs the red sword with his hand and tries to unsheathe it, but it wonâ??t budge. He tries the blue sword, but it also wonâ??t budge.

He walks over to Krissy, who is healing Sheppard.

Duel asks, â??How is he? And your leg?â?

â??Heâ??ll be fine, he just need some rest. Same for me. My legâ??s fine.â?

â??I canâ??t move both of them, weâ??ll have to set up here for now.â?

Duel drags Sheppard next to a tree and the girl on the other side of the same tree. The sun starts to set.

â??Iâ??ll take watch.â?

Krissy smiles, â??Alright.â?

Episode - 10 - Divine!


The sun rises from the oceanâ??s horizon. A beam of sunlight hits blue-haired girl in the eyes. She slowly opens her eyes looking directly at the sun. She covers her eyes with her right arm. Looking around her she finds Duel sleeping on a tree, and Krissy a little farther off sleeping. She continues to look around, but couldnâ??t find Sheppard, who was sleeping on the other side of the tree. She grabs her bow that is lying next to her and stands up. She puts her bow across her body. She quickly runs along the path towards Zant, noticing the destruction from the previous battle along the way.

A little while later Sheppard wakes up. He stands up and walks over to the riverbed. He watches the river flow for a few moments. He looks back at Duel and Krissy.

â??What does Arua expect me to do to help them? I wasnâ??t good at fighting before, and nothing has changed since that time.â?

He looks up into the clouds. He hears Aruaâ??s voice.

Arua says, â??Sheppard, there is something I want you to do. There is a groupâ?¦â?

Krissy starts to wake up. Sheâ??s sitting up, looking over at Duel.

â??Understood. Iâ??ll go immediately after Iâ??ve told themâ?, Sheppard answers.

He looks back over at Duel and Krissy, and notices Krissy sitting up. He starts to walk back over to them as Krissy stands up. Krissy looks over at Sheppard and greets him with a smile.

She says, â??You seem better.â?

â??I am. Even though I canâ??t use my powers, my healing is better than normal Visitors.â? He looks over at Duel starting to wake up, and continues, â??I have to go now. Arua has summoned me.â?

He raises his hand in the air and snaps his fingers. He brings his hand down to his side. Immediately, a blue light forms on the ground near him. It starts to move, leaving a light trail behind it.

Sheppard says, â??Farewell for now.â?

The light stops, and the light trail has formed a big symbol. The trail starts to glow brighter. The outside part of the symbol starts to shoot the light high in the sky. Then a huge ball of light forms around Sheppard and suddenly shoots up into the sky. The symbol slowly starts to disappear.

Duel walks up, and asks, â??What was with the little light show?â?

â??Sheppard had to do something for Arua. He just leftâ?, responds Krissy.

â??Oh, ok. Well, howâ??s that girl doing?â?, says Duel, as he looks back at where he left the girl to rest. He scratches the back of his head.

He sighs, â??Well, where'd she run off to?â?

â??She wasnâ??t too badly injured when I looked over her, so I do not believe she will be in any dangerâ?, replies Krissy.

Duel says, â??Well, if you say so. Where shall we go? I donâ??t have any weapons, and these new ones on my back wonâ??t release from their own sheaths.â?

He grabs Efreetâ??s Passionâ??s handle and tries to pull it out. It wonâ??t budge the slightest bit.

Krissy says, â??Well, we did complete Cornellâ??s request, so why donâ??t we go back to Zant?â?

â??Sounds good, but we should go quickly. We donâ??t have a fighter among us right now. It would be bad if a monster suddenly attacked usâ?, replies Duel.

Krissy says, â??Alright.â?

â??'Kay, let's goâ?, says Duel.

Duel starts running along the path towards Zant, with Krissy following closely behind.

About an hour later, the two finally reach Zantâ??s wall. They had trouble from the native monsters along the way. They stop for a quick breather.

â??Thâ?¦that wasss a long run, I didnâ??t think Iâ??d make it backâ?, Krissy says, while leaning over and catching her breath.

Duel replies, â??You did great. Letâ??s walk the rest of the way.â?

They start to walk towards the south gate into Zant. Along the way, they spot many Visitors; a few Hawkers, a lot of Soldiers, and a Muse or two. They were fighting the Honey Bees and Hornets in the area. One Hawker was awing over the duals Duel had on his back. Astonished that heâ??s never seen a Visitor keep his weapons outside an inventory before, much less on his back, he runs up to Duel.

â??Hey, whereâ??d you get those swords?â?, says the Hawker.

Duel stops and looks over at him. Krissy looks at the Hawker and smiles.

Duel answers, â??I donâ??t know.â?

â??How can you not know? They just appeared out of nowhere or something?!â?, says the Hawker excitedly.

â??Yes.â?

The Hawker got even more excited by the answer and jumped behind Duel to look at the swords. Krissy giggles at his excitement. Duel sighs at him.

â??There are some letters hereâ?¦what do they mean? Nothing Iâ??ve ever seen before!â?, asks the curious Hawker.

He reaches up, trying to touch Efreetâ??s Passionâ??s sheath, but as he got close a small bolt of lightning shot at the Hawkerâ??s fingertips. He pulls his hand away. Krissy stops giggling and looks up at Duel. Duel turns around.

â??What was with that?!â?, asks the Hawker.

Duel replies, â??I dunno, but we need to get going.â?

Duel and Krissy start running towards the south gate again.

â??Hey, Robert Getters, what are you doing?â?, yells a Muse holding a Baobab Wand.

Duel says, â??What are with these damn swords?!â?

â??I donâ??t know. They seem special nonethelessâ?, replies Krissy.

They finally reach inside the walls of Zant. The town is steaming with excitement. Lots of Visitors and people alike roaming around, talking, and shopping. Cornell is outside the Town Hall talking with Warren. Lena is sitting on her bench talking with some Visitors. Leonard is talking to a few Hawkers and a Soldier.

â??So many people. I dislike crowdsâ?, exclaims Duel.

Krissy asks, â??Duel, why is it you donâ??t like Visitors?â?

Duel looks over at Krissy, as the wind picks up and blows their hair in all different directions.

â??Iâ??m not sure, but whenever I lay my eyes on someone, I just cannot help but feel like I doâ?, replies Duel.

He clenches his right fist and looks elsewhere.

â??Would you mind telling Cornell weâ??ve completed this quest for him? I want to look at something for a few moments.â?

â??You sure you donâ??t want me with you?â?, Krissy asks.

â??Thanks, but Iâ??ll be fine. Iâ??ll be just outside the wallsâ?, answers Duel.

He starts walking outside Zant. Krissy watches him with a concerned face for a moment, then walks off to Cornell.

Duel sits on a ledge staring at his right palm.

â??Just what is this?â?

Krissy walks next to Cornell, who is just finishing up talking to Warren.

Warren says, â??It seems youâ??ve got a Visitor. Iâ??d best be taking my leave from you now.â?

He turns and heads towards the temple. Cornell turns towards Krissy.

â??Alone, are you, today? Where are Duel and the other fellow that was with you the other day?â?

â??Duel wanted to be alone for a little while, and Sheppard had some business to take care of early this morningâ?, responds Krissy.

â??Alright. You are here, safe and sound, so can I assume the mission I sent you three on is completed?â?, asks Cornell.

â??You are correct. Thatâ??s why I am here.â?

â??Did you ever find out the reasoning behind the actions of the Giant?â?

â??Unfortunately, we did not. The occupants at the Breezy Hills camp knew nothing, and when we got to the area of the Giant Pomic, we were attacked immediately.â?

â??Wish this matter could have been settled without any violence, but I guess it couldnâ??t be avoided. Thank you for your help with the matter. As a token of my thanks...â?

He holds out his hands. A light appears above each one. He closes his fist on his left and grabs the right. The left item forms into a Dual Bushido; the right, forms into a book.

â??The Dual Bushido weapons, and this book we have named â??Book of Divinationâ??.â?

â??Thank youâ?, Krissy says.

She takes the Dual Bushido and puts them into her inventory. She grabs the Book of Divination.

Looking at the cover, it reads, â??Light Tome.â?

Confused, Krissy looks up at Cornell.

â??Is something amiss?â?

â??N-no everythingâ??s fine, thank you for your generous giftâ?, Krissy replies.

Krissy gracefully bows in thanks and walks off.

Duel continues to stare at the sphere. It suddenly glows.

A whisper says, â??Be watchful.â?

Duel asks, â??What is that supposed to mean?â?

The whisper repeats, â??Be watchful.â?

The glow dissipates. He clenches his fist for a moment, then stands up. He brushes off some dirt from his legs, and turns around to find Krissy behind him.

â??How did everything go?â?

â??Just fine, but something is just odd to me. Cornell gave me this book and called it something itâ??s not named.â?

â??Oh? Lemme see it for a second.â?

She hands the book over to Duel. He looks over the cover.

Duel says, â??I canâ??t read this title. It's in characters I donâ??t know.â?

He hands the book back to Krissy.

â??When I look at it, the words â??Light Tomeâ?? come into mindâ?, replies Krissy.

Krissy holds out her hands, and the Dual Bushido appears.

â??He also gave me this as a reward. Here, take them. Theyâ??re your type of weapons, are they not?â?

Duel receives the weapons, and grabs both handles, then unlatches the magic binding them together. He stands ready, as if he is about to fight. He binds them together again, and puts them away.

Duel says, â??These feel a lot lighter than the others I had.â?

â??Letâ??s go see what we could do in the meantime. Elfy still hasnâ??t returned.â?

They walk off together into Zant.

Back at Birth Rock, where Duel and other Visitors came to be, the green lights suddenly turn black. A figure in the form of a Visitor develops inside the lights. As fast as the figure forms, it disappears. The lights return to their true color.

Episode - 11 - Magic Round!


Duel and Krissy are still standing, talking, outside of Zant. They suddenly hear a cry for help, as somebody runs up to them. He starts gasping for air.

â??Pleaseâ?¦helpâ?¦myâ?¦friend!â?, the visitor says.

The visitor is a Hawker using katars, wearing hunterâ??s gear with a black mask, and blonde hair. Still catching his breath, he lifts his head and looks at Duel and Krissy.

The Hawker says, â?Please, you just have to help. My friend cannot defend himself against this fiend for much longer. It is like no other monster. He has a foul odor and look upon him. He isnâ??t natural. Please! Help him!â?

Krissy smiles, walks near the Hawker, and places her hand on his shoulder.

â??Of course weâ??ll help, right Duel?â?, Krissy says looking back at Duel.

â??Yeah, sureâ?¦â?, replies Duel.

â??You will!?â?, says the Hawker.

He smiles and continues, â??Heâ??s near Luxem Tower, south of Zant, follow me!â?

He turns around and starts running off towards Luxem Tower.

â??Aw, more running? I suppose it canâ??t be helpedâ?, Krissy says.

They start running behind the Hawker, as he leads the way.

After a few minutes of running, Duel looks over at Krissy, still holding on to the book she received.

He says, â??Krissy?â?

â??Yes?â?, replies Krissy.

He asks, â??Do you know anything more about that strange book?â?

She grasps the book harder and replies, â??No, not yet anyway.â?

They keep silent for the rest of the way. Finally, they reach the area where the Luxem Tower lies.

â??This is the Valley of Luxem Towerâ?, says the Hawker.

He looks around, trying to find his friend. He starts off down a hill. They follow him to his friend.

â??He was around here, but he may have been forced down into the valleyâ?, says the Hawker.

They start rushing down the slope; the sounds of a fight get loud. The Hawker stops in his tracks, and points.

â??Thatâ??s him! He isnâ??t doing too good! Please, HELP HIM!!!â?, says the Hawker.

Duel looks back at Krissy. She nods. He looks back down towards the fighting. He brings his swords out, and starts rushing at the monster.

The monster looks like a Pomic. It, however, is bigger than the average Pomic and has a foul green cloud around it. Paying no heed to Duel coming at it, the Pomic relentlessly attacks the little Visitor.

Duel jumps in the air slightly, landing on the ground and sliding from his momentum. He leans down, slashing at the legs. He stabs the ground to halt his movement, then stabs at the body of the Pomic. It dies fast. Suddenly, the Pomic turns into dust, blowing away in a sudden gust of wind.

The Soldier says, â??Thâ?¦thank youâ?¦â?

He suddenly collapses. Duel quickly catches him and lays him on the ground. Duel looks back to Krissy. She starts running up to the Soldier and kneels down. She smiles.

â??He will be fine, just exhausted from the fightâ?, she says.

She places her hand over his body, and her healing glow starts to flow over his body.

â??Why are you here AGAIN?â?, says a voice.

Duel widens his eyes. He quickly stands up and looks around fiercely. He tries to find the source of the voice, but to no avail.

â??You told me to tell my masters about you, Efreetâ??s Passion and Celsiusâ?? Crystal, but I did not. I wished to speak with you outside of my mastersâ?? knowledge and research, but it seems that wonâ??t happen. You caused me much trouble with your interference last time. It shall not happen again!â?, yells the voice.

Duel is still trying to find the source.

The voice yells again, â??LIGHTNING!â?

Duel rolls forward, missing the strike. Krissy lets out a slight scream, however.

â??I am up the cliff, you dolt. Fight me up here! Those others do not need to get in the midst of battle. Take the path from whence you came, and a path up here shall be found. However, I will not go too easy on you! Lightning!â?, yells the voice.

Duel starts running back up the path. As lightning bolts get ever so close. He looks to his right and notices a path up high sloping downwards. He realizes that path must be it. He reaches where the two paths meet, and turns up it. The lightnings start to attack in front of him. He continues to dodge and weave between them. He nearly gets hit a few times. They stop, as he gets to the summit. When he gets to the top, he sees Peter Arthurs standing there, his staff in the ground, eyes closed, and his right hand in the air.

â??Thunder Blade!â?, he yells.

Lightning emanates from his hand and flies up in the air, and then suddenly, a lightning bolt stabs the ground in front of him. Duel can no longer see Peter because of the size of the lightning and from it still being there. Peter opens his eyes. As fast as he opens them the lightning charges at him. It is so fast that Duel doesnâ??t have time to dodge. It cuts up the ground as it goes. It stops on Duel, and continues to shock him with tremendous power.

Duel screams in pain for a minute. Krissy looks up the cliff to where she hears the scream, until it slowly disappears. Duel's swords fall to the ground; he then falls to his knees. His sleeves are torn off.

Peter picks his staff up; the gem in it starts to turn red. He swings it in front of him; a red glow trail stays in the air. He places his hand behind it; the glow starts to come together, forming a fireball.

Duel reaches for his swords. He grasps them tightly and slowly stands up. He looks up at Peter.

Peter yells, â??Fireball!â?

Part of the fire flies at Duel. Duel starts to run at Peter straight on; staring right at the fire coming right at him. He steps to the right side, and the fireball goes right past him. Peter moves his hand and another fireball shoots towards Duel; he moves his hand to the left this time and aims down, and another flies again.

Duel steps again to the right. Without realizing it, he was nearly stepping off the cliffâ??s edge. Rocks crumble off the side of the cliff from Duelâ??s weight and tumble to the ground below.

Peter walks towards the rock wall, and turns back around, looking at Duel, whoâ??s now running at him. He waves his staff in front of him again, leaving the red trail behind. He then stabs the staff into the ground, and it glows purple. He gathers the glow together and forms another fireball. He fires off all three at him, one right at him, another to his left, and the last to his right. Peter puts his right hand on the top of his staff.

Duel slides under the fireballs in his way. Peter places his left hand out in front of him. His fingertips start to spark with electricity. He makes a fist, then opens it again. He brings his left hand to his side, with his elbow behind him.

Peter yells, â??Spark Wave!â?

He thrusts his left hand forward at Duel, who is still sliding on the ground. Sparks leave his hand and charges at Duel, getting brighter the farther they go. Duel stabs both of his swords into the ground and lifts himself into the air, landing on his feet and away from the spark wave. The spark wave hits the ground, and smashes a little hole in it.

Peter brings his hand back and thrusts it forward at Duel again. He side-steps out of the way. He charges at Peter again. Peter keeps throwing Spark Waves at him, and Duel keeps stepping out of the way just in time. Peter picks up his staff and places it in front of him. Duel strikes at Peter.

Peter screams, â??Shield!â?

A green symbol glowing forms in front of him, between him and Duel. It completely stops the attack. Peter changes the angle of his staff, placing it horizontally, pointing to Duel. He places his other hand next to his staff, with an open palm towards Duel. The Shield disappears. Duel tries to strike again.

Peter screams again, â??Aqua Laser!â?

Water forcefully shoots out of his palm and pushes Duel away. Duel drops his swords from the blast. He lands on the ground, still sliding fast. Duel tries to slow himself down, so he wonâ??t slide off the cliff. There is, however, nothing to slow him.

He is able to grab the edge of the cliff, with one hand, in time. Krissy is looking up the cliff as he flies off. She quickly stands up. Duel is hanging on for dear life.

â??Duel!!!!!â?, Krissy screams.

Duel looks down at Krissy, and thinks, â??I wish you didnâ??t have to see this.â?

Episode - 12 - Radiant Wing!


Peter walks up to Duelâ??s swords, and picks them up. He walks up to the edge of the cliff where Duel hangs. He stabs them into the ground near him.

â??You are still young, and you will never be a match for the power Iâ??ve been given!â?, exclaims Peter.

Duel starts to get angry at Peterâ??s attitude.

â??Shut up!â?, yells Duel.

Peter sighs. He then kicks Duelâ??s hand off the cliff. Duel starts to fall to the ground. Krissy can do nothing but watch as the person she was starting to love falls.

Krissy thinks, â??I wish I wasnâ??t such a burden to Duel. I wish I could...â?
Suddenly a light radiates from the Light Tome Krissy is still holding. Duel starts to fall slower. The book floats from Krissyâ??s hand and lifts in front of her eyes. It opens up, and the pages start flipping around. Krissy looks at the book wondering whatâ??s going on.

She looks up at Duel, still slowly falling. The book stops and Krissy looks down at the page.

The page reads, â??Radiant Wing of Subsistence.â?

Krissy repeats the phrase.

She then starts to levitate in the air; her pupils disappear from her eyes, and her arms reach back. The light starts to gather behind her. It starts to form a pair of fairy wings. She floats back down to the ground; her pupils return, and her arms go back to her sides.

The Hawker looks up at Krissy. She now has fairy wings.

â??What the hell are you?! Iâ??ve never seen someone with a pair of wings beforeâ?, questions the Hawker.

She turns her head back to the Hawker and smiles. Krissy looks back up at Duel and grabs the Light Tome. Leaning down, she jumps in the air, and her fairy wings start to flap. Time starts to flow normally again. Krissy flies up to Duel and catches him. He looks up at Krissy.

â??Whatâ??s going on?â?, says Duel.

Krissy replies, â??I donâ??t know. Iâ??m just doing this out of instinct at the moment.â?

Peter yells, â??What the hell is going on!â?

Krissy lands on the summit where Peter is. She puts Duel on the ground. She opens the Light Tome again, and reads another passage from it.

â??Light!â?, she says calmly.

Light shoots from her body and into the air. Peter turns to Krissy.

â??Just what are you doing, girlâ?, asks Peter.

Light shoots down from the sky and hits Peter. It soon dissipates and Peter falls to the floor.

â??Duel, let me take himâ?, says Krissy.

Duel replies, â??Sure, if thatâ??s what you want.â?

Peter stands back up and faces Krissy.

â??I wonâ??t be so easy to take out. Donâ??t be so confident just because youâ??ve gained a power I havenâ??t seen beforeâ?, says Peter.

Krissy jumps in the air, and floats, using her wings. She flips through the pages and stops to read another passage. Peter, knowing this wonâ??t end well, swings his staff in front of him and gathers the fire energy.

â??Windâ?, says Krissy without emotion.

Four green blades form around Peter. One in front of him, another behind him, else to the right, and the last to his left. At once, they all charge at Peter. He looks around him noticing the wind blades.

â??Damn it!â?, yells Peter.

He places his staff over his head. The gem glow starts to glow green; he lets it go, and it floats in the air. He starts to spin around rapidly.

He yells, â??Tornado!â?

The wind starts to pick up and form around Peter. The air around him starts to turn green and you see a cone start to form. Duel covers his eyes from the force winds. The Wind Blades crash into the tornado and disappear. The wind comes to a swift halt. Peter stops spinning and grabs his staff again.

â??You have interesting magics, I give you that. I have never seen a muse use magic without wands or staves, a mediumâ?, exclaims Peter.

Krissy smiles and replies, â??Thank you, but this isnâ??t the place nor the time to be complimenting me.â?

She flies around a moment then looks into the book and reads another passage from it; then closes it. She then raises her hand, holding the tome into the air.

She yells, â??ElFire!â?

Fire starts to appear in the air above her hand. She swings her hand down towards the ground near Peter. The fire quickly forms into a ball and flies down to the ground.

Peter yells, â??Damn it again!â?

He holds his staff out in front of him and says, â??Shield.â?

His shield forms in the air. The fireball flies just underneath it and hits the ground at his feet. A fire circle forms under and around Peter.

Peter says, â??What!?â?

The fire circle shoots up into the air forming a circular wall around him. The walls start to close in on him until the fire wall turns into a solid line and disappearing. Smoke is coming off his body, and his sleeve is burning slightly. He falls to his knees.

Duel just watches on at Krissyâ??s magical power and her wings. She is still in mid-air with her wings flapping in the wind magnificently. She leisurely descends to the land before Duel. She glances back at Duel and lets out a smile.

Peter falls to the ground exhausted. Krissy prances up to Duel.

â??How was I?â?, she asks.

Duel replies, â??You wereâ?¦you were great.â?

She smiles, â??Thank you, although I still donâ??t know how I did all that. Most was like an instinct.â?

Peter coughs and takes a long breath, â??Donâ??t you for one second think I am down and out!â?

Peter gets up on one knee, using his staff to hold himself up. The gem inside the staff turns white suddenly. He waves it over his body and the white glow leaves a trail, as it falls onto his body. When it disappears, he stands up again.

He stabs his staff into the ground and opens his hand behind it. Krissy turns back around to face her opponent. Electricity starts forming on the staff and intensifies with every passing moment. Krissy jumps back into the air, still facing Peter.

â??Thunderâ?¦â?, Peter says.

Lightning strikes down on the staff.

He yells, â??Blade!â?

The lightning charges at Krissy with rapid speed. Krissy raises her right arm before the lightning.

Krissy calmly says, â??Eternalâ?¦ Protection.â?

A glass-like wall appears ahead of her. The lightning blade strikes at the wall and ceases to move. Krissy struggles to keep her focus on the wall.

â??Just, what are you, girl?â?, Peter yells.

Krissy closes her hand, making a fist. The wall circles around the lightning and encloses it inside itself. The walls come together and make the lightning disappear. She brings her arm back to her side.

â??Youâ??re making me angry, girl!â?, Peter yells.

Krissy closes her eyes, her wings stop moving, and she plummets towards the ground. Duel runs up to where Krissy is falling.

â??Krissy!â?, he yells.

He catches her from hitting the ground. He looks down at her.

â??I suppose even she has limitsâ?, exclaims Peter.

Duel doesnâ??t raise his vision from Krissy. He just walks towards the wall and sits her down. She is still holding onto the Light Tome, barely. He grabs the book and places it next to her, then he moves the hair off her face. He grabs her hand.

He whispers, â??Rest now, youâ??ve done enough for today.â?

She starts to breathe slowly as she sleeps. Duel stands up and turns towards where his swords are still stabbed in the ground and walks towards them. Peter just watches. Duel retrieves his blades and turns towards Peter.

Episode 13 - The Shadow


Duel is staring at Peter. Peter stares back.

Duel asks, â??Why are you here?â?

Peter answers, â??Because I was ordered to watch over an experiment.â?

â??Why does this â??experimentâ?? have to involve innocent Visitors?â?, Duel asks again.

Peter replies, â??Because I was told. I have no right to question my orders. Iâ??ve already dishonored my name and brought hate into a loved oneâ??s life, so this is nothing new.â?

Duel asks, â??Then why did you start this to begin with?â?

â??Thatâ??s none of your businessâ?, Peter replies.

Duel says, â??Fine then, so beâ?¦â?

Duel notices a new figure that appears next to Peter. Peter turns around, noticing something amiss behind him. As his face meets the body of the figure, Peter gets thrown at the wall. He crashes into it with tremendous force. He lies unconscious.

The figure steps forward and says, â??â?¦Fight.â?

The figure is a Visitor; at least, it looks like one... His hair looks just like Duelâ??s, other than the fact that it is crimson red, and his Visitor clothes are black. Two swords appear in his hands with blades of pure black.

He quickly charges at Duel and he charges back to him. They meet and strike swords together. They appear to be at a stalemate.

Duel says, â??â?¦Just who are you?â?

The visitor jumps back. As he lands, he disappears. Duel viciously looks around and notices the visitor is to his right now. The visitor swings his swords at Duel, but Duel stops them with one of his swords and strikes him with the other. The visitor moves his head to the side a little and dodges the blade.

He disappears once more. Duel stumbles from the force trying to stop the blades. The visitor appears behind Duel and he trips him. Duel falls to the ground. The visitor again vanishes and appears in the air above Duel. He is trying to kick Duel while still on the ground. Duel jumps to his feet, just barely missing the attack. The visitor kicks the ground and creates a small crater. Duel is amazed by the power this person has.

Duel slashes at the visitor, but the visitor blocks the attack. They look at each other with four swords in equal footing. Duel looks over this visitor; he notices the eyes are red and black. The visitor quickly spins to the left and around Duelâ??s swords, and Duel stumbles. He bashes both of his swords with the dull side into Duelâ??s back, and he falls to the ground. Duel jumps back to his feet and turns towards the visitor; he blocks a strike from his opponent. Duel swipes his other sword at the visitor. He jumps back, avoiding the attack, then steps forward slashing at Duel. He blocks and pushes the sword away. Stepping forward, he stabs at the visitor. The visitor steps to the right and pushes Duelâ??s swords away. Duel steps to his left and slashes downward with one of his swords; it gets blocked and bounced back.

The two stand still staring at one another. The visitor steps forward and starts to slash both his swords widely, but precisely, at Duel. He does his best to block the attacks. Duel takes steps back to try and find an opening that doesnâ??t seem to show itself. The slashes increase in speeds as time passes.

Krissy finally regains consciousness and sees Duel and the visitor fighting; she looks beside her and sees Peter unconscious. Without energy, she can only sit and watch.

The visitor lets out a grin, and then suddenly disappears. He reappears behind Duel. He fiercely kicks Duel into the stone wall. Duel slides to the ground, face-down. The visitor crouches down, stepping one foot forward, and raising his swords... He lunges forward towards Duel. He places his swords in front of him and starts to spin rapidly.

A blue aura envelops Duel as the visitor hurdles ever closer. He crashes into Duel continuing to spin, slashing at the aura surrounding him. He kicks off of Duel, jumps back, and lands on the ground.

Krissy stares at Duel close by. She crawls to cuddle his body, as she starts crying. A white light shines from Krissyâ??s body, and suddenly they disappear along with Peter Arthurs.

They appear on a beach somewhere unknown, but Krissy doesnâ??t realize this and continues cuddling Duelâ??s body.

My oh my, and what do we have here. Didn't think they would be that good to bring over to something so snazzy like this place.
