I feel so happy you want to read my stories ;D. Now have fun reading. Oh yeah and the picture is with Zaira and Shark made by Dragon princess on Quotev. Hope you like it.

Zaira's p.o.v.

Zaira: 500 lp's.

Grace: 2500 lp's.

I groaned in pain. The last attack from Grace's weird number card, had drained and hurt me completely. It had even killed Cy. I must admit I felt rather helpless. For my inner eye I saw the girl who looked just like me, kick Cy out of my soul too. He was once again in the grave, but this time, I was prepared. My trap "Xyz reborn" was lying facedown on the field. I got slowly up. I didn't know why I actually did that. The situation was rather hopeless. I was fighting on two front sides. In the duel against Grace, and the fight inside my soul. My darker half had gotten stronger after Grace summoned that number as well. I clenched my fists and shook my head. No, I won't give up! I got into the positive world with Yuma. Inside my soul I could hear my darker half laugh now.

"Stop resisting Zaira, we are one and the same" she then said in a sweet voice inside my head "Let's be one once again. All I want is for us to be together forever".

"No never, I will not give up. I will not let Vetrix control me" I then said firmly.

"Oh, then what can you do about it?" My darker half questioned and chuckled "Let's face it. you have 500 life points to your name. Grace has 2500. She even have an indestructible number on her field. Lastly the spell deals you 1000 points of damage as soon as it is Grace's turn. You can't win".

I snort coldly. Others had said that to me too, but Cy and I had proved them terrible wrong.

"I just have to feel the flow" I said and drew.

I hoped for a miracle. I slowly looked at the card in my hands, and my eyes widened in surprise. That's Quinton's card.The card "Family ties" was lying in my hands now. This couldn't be a coincidence. The spell was having a picture of all the arclights actually. In a younger and older version of themselves. I could see a girl resemble Grace, and three boys resembling her brothers. A dog was even on the picture. The older male who was left in the picture must be Vetrix, even though I had no idea, why he had to be on this card. Maybe to resemble their family? I slowly began reading the cards eff. I hummed. This could actually work. I could hear the other girl laugh in my head.

"Oh so you think Quinton's weird made spell card can save you in this duel?" she then questioned "You are me remember? I know what you are planning. So bring your beloved wolf back from the grave".

I sneered annoyed, but I did feel safer with Cy in here. I activated my trap "Xyz reborn". That trap summoned "Cy" back to the field. The trap card became an ou for Cy. Cy appeared inside my soul pretty quickly. He was glaring down the fake a lot. I had two options now. Cy could destroy the spell or the number with it's eff, or Quinton's card could destroy the number card with it. Cy could then attack Grace directly and we would win..

"Yes you would win" my darker half then said "But is it worth it? You would be free from the darkness Yes, but that doesn't mean Grace alias Ana Arclight does. Her own father used the dark side of the crest on her. She has been influenced far longer than you, and compared to you, she isn't nearly as strong. You could attack and make the darkness leave for a tiny short time, but if she doesn't want to return and take her body back, the darkness will return soon after you won. Your friend will be lost to the darkness forever hehe". I sneered angry.

"Yeah you are just lying" I yelled annoyed "You just don't want me to win".

"Oh am I?" my darker half said "Let me show you the truth then".

I could see the darkness wrap around me once again. I could hear Cy call for me inside my head. I could also see for my inner eye that Cy had grabbed me in protective matter. Then we both got swallowed or transported somewhere.

Cy and I opened our eyes and found ourselves somewhere else once again. I was getting rather annoyed by that. I mean once in awhile I wished to be in control where we was sent. Even though it was a memory. Or so I believe it was. I looked around. We were at some grassy field. I had no idea where that was, but Cy poked to me with his palm. A little away from us was a herd of kids. All boys. My eyes widened. One of those boys had red and yellow layered hair. He was dressed in a white shirt, blaze color knickers, white socks, and brown shoes. He was having suspenders over his shoulders to hold up his trousers. I was staring. Was this Quattro alias Thomas Arclight? The other boys had surrounded him.

"Oh look you guys, Thomas is back" a boy, who looked bigger and stronger than the others, said. I figured he was their leader or something. Thomas tsked.

"Take that back!" he then yelled at the boy "Take it back! I am not girly!".

"Oh says someone who plays with dolls" the leader said and grinned. The other boys joined him soon after. Thomas sneered angry.

"So! I can't deny that, but I have more courage than any of you" he then said firmly "I am more man than you all ever would be. Surely any of you have some girly habits. However I have a proposal for you. I fight against you all, and when I win, you will let me and my dolls in peace". The boys looked surprised at him.

"You against all of us?" the leader then said grinned "There is no way you will win".

"Oh so you are all chickens" Thomas mocked.

That made all the boys sneer. Before I could count to 10, a battle unfold. I sighed deeply. Why was boys such idiots sometimes? However Thomas was quite good. He actually managed to beat almost everyone. There were only 2 boys and the leader left. Thomas gasped for air a little. However he clenched his fists and was about to attack them, when suddenly something happened.

"Stop!" yelled a voice firmly and a little girl with two layered red hair, who wasn't as tall as Thomas, was standing in front of Thomas.

She had shielding arms in front of him. "Stop hurting my brother!". My eyes widened. That girl was Grace alias Ana Arclight. She was dressed in a dark shirt and over it she had a small dress in light purple colors. She had brown sandals, where you could see white socks, on. All the boys looked surprised at her. Then the leader and his group of boys began laughing like hell.

"Oho that is a good one" the leader said and grinned again "Thomas claims he is a man and not girly, but then he got saved by a girl. To funny!". I could see Thomas clench his hands in anger. He looked rather pissed at his sister.

"Grace, leave now!" He said firmly and tried pushing her away. Grace was trying to prevent him from that. The boys laughed even more.

"But I.. You were out numbered. I don't want you to get hurt" she then said puzzled.

"I asked for it" Thomas sneered "You are ruining everything. Now get out of here". Grace looked puzzled at him. The leader smirked a little.

"Oh this is over Thomas. Your sister meddled. You really showed us how manly you are" he then said and the rest of the crew grabbed their unconscious members. "In the end you proved nothing. Hehe got saved by a his sister. You crack me up". They began leaving. As soon as they were out of sight. Thomas turned angry at his sister.

"Grace! Why did you show up?!" he yelled "I was showing them how brave I was. You ruined it completely". Grace looked rather offended.

"But I.. I didn't want anything happen to you" she said slowly "And I promised Chris to keep you out of trouble". Thomas sneered angry.

"Are you starting with that again? How many times do I have to tell you this? Chris is not coming back. He abandoned us!" He then yelled "We have to take care of us selves. You are damn annoying. I was doing fine by myself, but you just had to meddle. You ruined everything Ana!". Ana looked up at him with big tearful eyes.

"But I.. that was not my intentions I..". Thomas sneered.

"Just leave my sight. You hurt my pride" he said firmly "You are no sister of mine!". Ana looked at him with shocked eyes. Then tears began running down her cheeks.

"Thomas I hate you!" she yelled and rushed away.

The scene chanced. I was looking at little Grace, ana, Arclight. She was sitting under a little holed filled shelter. Rain was pouring down, however Ana had no attention of leaving. She let out a little cry and sniffed a little.

"I hate you Thomas" she then said slowly "All mighty Thomas". She looked up in the sky. I could see the tear filled face.

"Chris you said you would come and get us. Why aren't you coming?" she then questioned and sniffed "I don't wanna come back. Ever and ever". She shook her head and continued to cry. My eyes widened a little shock. I tried to go over to her, but when I tried, she instead got further and further away from me. Darkness erupted around me again and...

We were back. Inside my soul once again. Cy and I was staring down the doppelganger of mine. She was smirking evilly. I on the other hand was not sure on what to believe. Was that she had shown us really true? Was that the memory Grace was in? Had she been telling the truth about Grace not returning to normal when we won? I was not sure what to believe right now. Cy growled concerned beside me.

"So Zaira are you gonna take the risk?" My darker self asked and grinned "Are you gonna win and lose Grace in the process? Or are you forfeiting to me and finally be together with me forever? I give my word we are letting Grace go".

I sneered. I had a feeling she was actually not lying this time. Considered how much effort Vetrix had put in getting my powers, I was sure he saw no use for Grace, if I surrendered that is.

"Oh like I don't know what path you would choose" the other me then said "If I know you well enough, you would win regardless. After all isn't that what you are all about Zaira? Tough girl act, but when life get's too much you run away. You did in the past".

I clenched my fists. Like I didn't know that already. But Grace had.. she saved my life and I needed to repay her. However at the same time this could just be a big bluff. It is not like that girl hadn't tried tricking me before.

"I am sorry Zaira, but this isn't a trick" I could then hear a new voice say. I looked surprised around. That voice it had sounded like Quinton's!

"Zaira, my beautiful angel, please don't be scared" another voice joined.

"Oh yeah, say that to her Trey, that is so gonna help" A third voice added.

I could feel my hand vibrate, and out of the "Family ties" spell card was three different colored light balls appearing. One blue. One red and one yellow. They flew around in front of me. I was not sure what I was seeing.

"Zaira it is us!" Quinton then said slowly "The card I gave you is very special. It is a card I created, and it has a little part of our essence in it. After I had suggested the MDP to our father, I began creating this card right away, and Trey was helping. Quattro recently joined. I knew we wouldn't be able to save her in our physical bodies. The crest our father gave us, has a price".

"Yes we all wanted our sister back" Trey implied "I suggested you to Quinton, and he apparently agreed. Best of all, only the one holding the card can see us. Your darker self can't see us. She is also not as beautiful as the real you either".

"Trey focus on the mission" Quattro sneered "We can't hang around here forever you know. Now listen, as I see it, Grace is in that memory you saw. Kept by despair by that wicked number. I remember that memory clearly".

"So do I" Trey added "I was there as well". I looked surprised at the talking lights now. This was pretty awesome. Quinton growled a little.

"I can't believe you said such cruel stuff to Grace" Quinton then said and snort "She IS your sister. Weather you like it or not". Quattro sneered angry back.

"Hey I didn't say that. It wasn't me who said 'she wasn't my sister any longer'. Father messed up her head. Or the number did" he then yelled.

"I was cut out as well" Trey said "I was suppose to arrive at the shelter to comfort her too". I could hear all three arclight brothers sigh deeply.

"Well anyway, Zaira, you have to get hold on that number with our card" Quinton then said "You also need to get the hand on whatever keeps Grace's essence. Then we should be able to save her from the number".

I sighed deeply. How should I do that? Grace was surely inside that Masked Knight lv 7 and that couldn't get special summoned that easy. Even if it were in the grave. I only had Quinton's card and the trap "White fur coat". Like that could help much.

"And how should I do that? I don't have any cards able to do such a move" I sneered out frustrated "If I win, Grace would be lost forever, but if I lose then... who knows what happens to me. I might die. At least if Vetrix does take my powers and Cy from me. Even if he doesn't, I will end up as some kind of puppet to your father". The three light balls flew around. The three boys sighed.

"Don't look at me, I obeyed my father and made the girl I care about get hurt" Quattro then said and snort. He flew inside the card. The other two sighed.

"We don't know either my beloved Zaira" Trey said "But we trust you. You will find a solution. If you will have us excused".

The two other brothers flew into the card as well. I sneered in frustration. Like those three arclight brothers could help me now.

"Come on Zaira make up your mind" my other half then said and chuckled "Choose or you will automatically lose the match for stalling too long".

I sneered and fell down on the ground. What to do? What to do? I really didn't know the answer. I could feel Cy nuzzle my cheek now. He looked really worried. I hugged him deeply.

"Oh Cy, I don't know what to do" I then said "I want to save Grace. I really want to. I don't want to run away any longer. I want to stay where I am. With Yuma and Shark. With everyone else, but I... Grace and her messed up family. They are a family nonetheless. I am a lone wolf. No family will be split apart if I... Oh Cy I wish I could retrieve the cards I need, to save her and save myself. I just... well goodbye my beloved wolf protector Cy".

Tears fell down in his fur. Then I rubbed them away and turned toward my other self. I looked determined at her.

"Fine, I give myself up" I said slowly "You can have me. Just promise me Grace will be free afterwards". The girl grinned evilly.

"Finally" she then said "Then get over here, so we can be together forever and ever Zaira". I nodded slowly and took a step forward, but Cy suddenly stopped me.

"I don't like seeing you in so much distress mistress" he then said and growled at my double "You will not be going over to her. I will fulfil your wish in saving that other girl, and keep you here where you want to be". I looked surprised at Cy.

"What do you mean Cy?" I questioned puzzled. Cy growled slightly.

"I can evolve even further mistress" he then said and looked at me "I recently discovered this, since I wanted to become stronger as well. However I didn't mention this before now, because I wouldn't keep my promise to you my mistress".

"Cy I don't understand" I said puzzled and tried remembering what promise he had ever given me "And what do you mean with evolve?". Cy sighed deeply.

"I can do that thing 32 did with your friend Shark. However for that to work we have to combine our powers" He said slowly "That means I have to possess you like a real number does. I promised I would never do that, so well that was why you kept silent all this time".

I looked shocked at Cy. I tried recalling Shark's struggle with Nb 32 Shark drake. He really had have a hard time. Cy would do that to me as well?!

"I just can't see you in distress mistress" Cy then said slowly "I trust you Zaira. Do you trust me? If we do this, we can save your friend". I could hear my double laugh.

"Ha, like Zaira ever would trust a number card" she said "It is a number card controlling her supposed friend Grace".

I glared at her and snort. Then I placed arms around Cy's neck. I petted his fur. Then I smiled.

"I trust you. Let's do this" I said and Cy nodded.

"No I won't let you do this" my darker half said "No one of you is escaping me".

She rushed forward and was about to attack me with one of those dark fire balls. Cy jumped in between and got hit instead. I looked in horror.

"Cy!" I yelled.

However Cy growled loudly and wind appeared on it's body. Then it attacked my double. She let out a scream and got tossed to who knows where. I hoped that was outside my soul. Cy turned towards me again.

"Let's do it mistress" he then said firmly. I looked worried at him.

"You okay Cy?" I asked. The number nodded.

"Yes, and don't worry about that girl. That attack should have sent her out of here. No one hurts my mistress" Cy said firmly. I nodded. I could see the darkness slowly leaving as well. I figured all would be gone as soon as I had beat Grace.

"Let's go!" I then said and we both soon reunited with all of our bodies and souls.

Shark's p.o.v.

Shark looked confused at Zaira. She had been standing there, staring at the thin air with a distant look in her eyes. Shark was not totally sure what was going on. He had a hunch that it had something to do with that Darkness, Vetrix had been talking about. He just hoped Zaira didn't give in to it. Come on Miss Stubborn, Win! Then as it so happened, Zaira then suddenly blinked. She woke slowly up and was staring around on the duel field. Then she noticed Shark, and smiled a warm smile.

"Yes, she is okay!" He could hear Yuma yell beside him "Did you see that Astral? She is okay!".

Then Yuma danced around like a happy little idiot. Shark was about to point out that the duel wasn't finished yet, but decided not to. He didn't want to explain anything complicated to Yuma. Grace sneered angry.

"About time" she then said "Go on make a move, or are you forfeiting?". Zaira snort.

"Yeah right Grace. I will not give up. I will not give up until you are safe and sound. I promised your brothers that I would bring you home, and that is exactly what I am going to do".

Shark heard Cy growl in agreement. He was a little unsure he had heard that. It was like they had decided on something together.

"Cy let's show them the power of our bond" Zaira then yelled and red And light blue energy appeared in her hands. An aura of magenta was shown around her now "Let's unite our powers so we both can merge and evolve". She let out a scream.

"Wait is she doing what I think she is doing?" Yuma then questioned and looked at the empty space beside him, Shark knew was Astral "Is she really doing it Astral?".

"It is just like with me" Shark then slowly mumbled "She is Chaos evolving".

"Go chaos Xyz evolution!" Zaira yelled and energy hit Cy. It was surrounded in wind sphere aura now. Then a hole in the sky appeared and Cy got lifted up into it "Appear now 'Chaos Number 24, Cyclone beast Chaos wolf'".

The sphere got shut out of the hole and exploded down on the field. When the smoke from the blast appeared, a new shaped wolf was standing on the field. It was a black wolf with red tattoo marks and a red symbol of 24 on it's head. Chains were still wrapped around it's feets, but no chain balls were attached to it. Spiky horn were at the top of it's head and a giant, wild and windy black tail spread all around it. It was a rank 4 monster with 2500 att and 2000 def points. In Shark's eyes that was some monster alright. The wolf growled loudly and shocked everyone on the field. (Here is the picture: )

"Wow that sounded vicious. It looks vicious" Yuma commented in a scared tone "Does Zaira even have that thing under control".

However, like it was a sign of something, Cy walked over and nuzzled her cheek affectionately. or tried to. Yuma did an anime fall down. Shark smirked. Like miss stubborn didn't have that wolf under control.

"Ahr what in the world is that?!" Grace yelled in shock. Zaira turned towards her.

"That is Cy's chaos form, and with him on the field you don't stand a change. Your grip around Grace will soon disappear. Cy granted me that power because he believes in me" Zaira then said "You'll see, but first I need to fix some things".

"Fix some things?" Tori questioned. Yuma nodded.

"Astral says Zaira must have come up with a solution to save Grace" he then replied.

"Oh yeah real smooth" Grace snort "You evolve your Cy, but that only means you ruined your chances of winning. You stood a better chance last time".

"Oh really we'll see about that" Zaira then said coldly "Cy's chaos form can only be summoned, when I have under 1000 life points and under 3 cards in my hand. Which I do. Secondly Cy's form are perfect for a former thief like me. By using one Ou, Cy can steal or take cards from yours or my grave, and add them to my hand equally to the monsters on the field. However I have to use them right away or Cy will get destroyed on my end phase. I think I will use all my Ou's".

"Wait what?" Yuma and Grace said in unison and Yuma continued "Okay 2 Ou's and two monsters on the field, so that gives... um...".

"4 cards Yuma" Shark said annoyed "Zaira can steal 4 cards". Grace looked shocked.

"I think I want your "level up" spell card and "Masked knight lv 7" from your grave Grace" Zaira said and two of Cy's tails rushed forward and slammed into Grace's grave and took the two cards. Zaira was soon holding it in her hand.

"Then I will take my 'monster reborn' and your 'mystical space typhoon'" Zaira then said and two cards soon hit her hand.

Grace was still too shocked to do anything. Then she was staring at her number and then over at Zaira's monsters.

"Oh like that helps you, my monster is stronger" She then said determined "Even if you destroy the cannon this turn, there is no way you will win this turn".

"Oh did I forget to mention that the opponent's monster loses 500 points for every card I stole. How forgetful of me" Zaira then said and smirked.

Grace's number lost all of it's att points. Shark's eyes widened. Zaira is dominating all over the field now. It is like Grace has walked into a wolf's nest and now can't escape.

"This, this can't be happening!" Grace yelled in shock.

"Oh believe it is happening!" Shark then yelled at Zaira "Go get her miss stubborn". Zaira smiled and nodded. She continued her move.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I smiled happily up at Shark. I never felt so strong in a duel before. Cy and my combined powers was awesome. However I then shook my head. I needed to focus. I started off my move by using "Mystical space typhoon" to destroy her cannon. Then I used "monster reborn" to summon Grace's 'Masked knight lv5' from the grave. I used the "level up" spell card to evolve it into 'Masked knight lv7'. The masked knight looked over at me, but then nodded. He apparently was okay with us dueling with him. If my info was correct Grace's soul was inside the card, so I just needed to get it back to her body. I just had an annoying number card to take care of first. I attacked with Masked knight. I could see how confused people were. A number card couldn't get destroyed by a non number card, but with that little life points Grace had left that really didn't matter. Secondly I needed Grace in some way to engage that monster in battle. This should get timed just right. Masked knight lv 7 hit the number card, but I was not done yet. I activated Quinton's card "Family ties". It was a quick spell card, and it could banish a number card from the field. However if it was a beast monster, I took 1000 point of damage. But, Grace's monster was a fiend type, so there were no worry. Grace let out a scream. Since the number card disappeared, the darkness in her dropped rapidly. However since the number card was gone, My knights attack was negated. That was what I had hoped for. The blast has created a rif into that memory Grace was hiding.

"Masked knight attack her directly" I then said and made some of my soul be a part of the attack. Then I entered soon the riff in the memory.

Rain hit me when I entered the riff. In front of me was that holed filled shelter and inside it was a younger Grace sitting. However I knew that was the essence of the real Grace, Ana, Arclight. The girl was crying though. I walked slowly over there.

"Grace, it is time to return" I then said and was holding a hand up in front of her. She looked slowly up at me. I could see she could recognize me, but soon she turned her back to me. She let out a little cry and then sniffed a little.

"Go away Zaira" she then said "I don't wanna go home. For what reason is there to return? No one cares about me. My father did this to me, and my brothers didn't do a thing to stop him. They don't care about me. I am just all alone. The darkness can have me for all I care".

"You are not alone" I then said and smiled "I am here. I am your friend".

"But you are not my family" Grace then said slowly and sniffed "You are right. My family is broken. One friend is not enough to replace all of that I have lost. Secondly I surely hurt you badly. My father wants your powers. Just get out of here before it is too late".

"Don't say that. Your family can still survive" I said and was holding up a card. That card! "Quinton made this card as soon as your father began the project on you. I use it right now to save you. Take a look. It has a picture of your family on it". Grace turned her head a little and looked at the card. She took it slowly from my hand.

"That's Thomas and Michael" she then said slowly and tears ran down her cheeks and down on the card "And big brother Chris... and... and father as he used to be. Our dog too".

I nodded slowly and touched the card slightly and sat down beside her in the shelter. I wanted to see what happened next.

"I wish everything could be as it was used to be" Grace then mumbled. "But it will never happen. Father and my brothers have all changed".

"It can still happen Ana" said a voice suddenly and Grace eyes widened in shock.

Three light balls appeared from the card and this time it also took appearings of three silhouettes of the arclight boys. The three boys looked at Grace and smile a deep smile.

"Come Grace we are here to get you" Quinton said and was holding up his hand "Like I always promised you. We can't sadly save you by ourselves any longer, so I entrusted that to Zaira Wroom. She is a good friend, isn't she?".

"Did you really think we would leave all the rescue to Zaira here Ana?" Quattro then said and snort "I miss arguing with you sis and... even though we argue like hell, I.. I care about you okay. Don't ever make me say that again, got it!".

"We are like your knights in those fairytale stories you like Ana. That was the reason you choose knights as your deck in the first place" Trey then said and smiled "However we are sadly not the love of your life. You know you have to find that Knight yourself".

"Chris, Thomas, Michael!" Grace then said. Tears were still running down her cheeks.

"Come home with us" the three boys said in unison and was holding out a hand towards her "This time we will succeed and save our father. This time we will become a real family. Please believe in us".

Grace wiped her tears away. Then she smiled. She began aging. She grew older and soon was her normal age. She was holding her hand out, and soon she was holding my hand. The three boys silhouettes disappeared. I guess they didn't have more power in the card any longer. I looked at Grace and smiled at her.

"Let's return" I said. Grace nodded eagerly.

I returned soon back to my own body. Grace had fallen to the ground and her life points hit 0. I had won the duel. The duel field returned back to normal, and Yuma and the others had rushed over to me. Yuma even gave me a friendly hug, and began blabbing about how awesome the duel had been. I was not listening. I was looking worried over at Grace. She groaned a little and got up on her feets.

"Grace are you okay?!" I yelled and walked quickly over to her.

I was really tired after that duel. I had surely used more power than usual once again. I was amased that I could walk at all. Grace nodded slowly.

"Yeah I am okay" she said "But my memory are a little hazy. I am terrible sorry if I hurt you too badly". I just smiled. That really didn't matter much to me.

"That was quite some duel" I could then suddenly hear a voice say and Vetrix appeared beside us both.

He was not a hologram this time. Shark and the others rushed quickly over to me, and Shark even grabbed my arm. I guess he wanted to protect me. Grace looked up at him. Then she looked away. She looked ashamed.

"Grace, you failed me" Vetrix then said coldly "You know what happens... regardless that Zaira here saved you from the project or not". Grace sighed deeply.

"I know Vetrix" she then said and then suddenly smiled. She then hugged Vetrix. He looked rather surprised "And I don't care father. I forgive you. I forgive you for everything. I will join my brothers now. However we will be waiting for you to return to us father. As a family. Just like before". I looked shocked when a portal opened behind her.

"Zaira, Thanks for saving my life, I leave my father in your hands" Grace then said and tossed me a card.

I catched it and noticed it was 'family ties'. She had apparently kept it when the duel ended "This card is yours. It is already a part of your deck. This can maybe help you with your own true family. See you later".

Then she disappeared through the portal. Vetrix turned towards me and actually smirked evilly.

"That was an impressive match Zaira Wroom. I didn't think you would actually be able to beat her. That makes me want to use you and your powers even more" he then said.

Shark sneered. He yelled something about that he shouldn't touch me or he would be sorry. I wondered why he was so possessive all of the sudden.

"We'll see. I will keep my eye on you two" Vetrix then said and grinned.

He then disappeared through the portal as well. I sighed deeply. I had a feeling he was not having good intentions in mind. I took a step forward and then suddenly tripped to the ground. I think I tripped over some kind of little stone.

"Zaira watch out!" I could hear Shark say and he catched me easily. I was once again lying in his arms. My cheeks blushed lightly.

"I... I think I might used to much energy there" I then said slowly and sighed "But I am all better Shark, so you can put me down".

Shark snort and began walking over to my coaster instead. I looked puzzled at it. How in the world did it get here?

"Forget it Miss stubborn. You are tired I can see it on your face" Shark then said. "And don't even start complaining. We two are finalists and we are gonna leave now got it?".

I mumbled a lot of curse words under my breath, but Shark couldn't understand them. That or he refused to listen. In the end I sighed deeply.

"Good luck Yuma. Good luck Astral" I then said and gave them a little wink before Shark placed me in the coaster and drove away "Good luck with your final match".

Yuma waved a little half hearted at me. He had forgotten he had to win on a field as well to be a finalist. That make me smirk a little. Soon Shark and I drove away out of the dragon's den.

Duelists remaining: Yuma, Nistro, Anna Kaboom and Sasha Martinez.

A,N: Well finally. This was the last part of this chapter. Man I must admit that was a challenge indeed. I wish I could say that was the last one, but there will soon come one again. Actually if I calculated right 2 chapters for now. Luckily that is gonna be in the new year. The next chapter will be the one with Yuma losing his deck. I kinda know I jump over Yuma and Nistro's duel, and in some way Sasha's duel with Anna kaboom, but I don't really see it as important. If you want me to make it.. sent me a comment okay?! In any way the next chapter is Yuma losing his deck before the finals. There will be some extra stuff in it. Regarding Zaira and Shark mostly. Some twist and turns, so hope that sounds interesting.
