Tara's p.o.v.

Tara could hear voices around her. They were loud and sounded really concerned. 

”Do you think she wakes up?!” could see hear one of the voices say. 

”Well of course!” said another voice ”It is Tara we are talking about!”. 

”I am such an idiot!” said the first voice ”I couldn't protect her!”. 

”Take it easy now!” said the second voice.

”I lost her in the woods! What kind of boyfriend am I, when I couldn't even protect her!” said the voice again. Tara smiled and opened her tired eyes. 

”A sweet one!” replied Tara and smiled. It didn't surprise her at all, when she found out that she was lying in one of the beds at the infirmary. She let out a big sigh. 

”Tara!” almost screamed two voices in unison. Tara grinned. She followed the sound and found two boys staring at her. It was her brother and Zane! 

”Hey not so loud! I feel like my ears are going to explode!” Tara said and grinned. She sat up in the bed. Jaden was sitting on a chair, near her side. Zane was standing beside Jaden, and looked really worried.  

”Oh Tara I am so sorry!” began Zane ”I couldn't stop you from getting kidnapped at all!”. Tara just smiled at him. 

”Hey it is not your fault!” said Tara and sighed ”If it's someone to blame, it is me! I was the one who made the deal with this stupid shadow rider!”. Jaden and Zane looked worried at her. 

”Um don't you remember anything Tara!” asked Jaden worried. Tara looked confused at him. 

”What do you mean?!” She asked ”I remember being kidnapped by that shadow rider and placed in some weird thing who was really loud. I think I fell asleep or something, but I kind of felt Jaden when he was about to lose, and talked to him!”.

”Um then you really don't know do you!” said Jaden and sighed ”I think we have a lot to tell you then!”. He began telling Tara everything that had happened. About the spirit gates, about the 7. shadow rider being Banner, his little test and the great evil who was about to arrive, so they could take over the world. Tara looked in horror. 

”So wait you are telling me that the 7. shadow rider was Banner! And he testing us, you so we can face a great evil!” Tara said really scared. Jaden and Zane nodded. 

”Yeah that's right!” Jaden said and sighed. ”He wanted me to give you this!”. Jaden showed her the book, Banner was caring. Tara took it and looked really confused now. She opened the book. The symbol of Amnael was on the first page. The rest was a lot of pages with text on it! She looked at Jaden and Zane. She noticed that Jaden was starring at the floor, then looking at her, then staring at the floor again. 

”Um Zane! I am a little hungry!” said Tara and smiled ”If it's okay, would you mind getting me some!”. Tara could see Zane's face lit a little up. 

”Of course!” He said and smiled ”Um something special you want!”. Tara smiled.

”Surprise me!” She said and grinned ”Oh and please something to drink too. I am really thirsty!”. Zane smiled and kissed her on the forehead. 

”Of course! Everything for you Tara!” He said and left the room. 

”So Jaden!” She asked ”What do you want to tell me! I noticed you didn't want Zane in here! So what's up!”. Jaden looked surprised and a little bit later, he grinned.

”Oh Sis, I forgot that you can see right through me every time!” Jaden said and grinned. Then he looked serious. ”Banner know who we really are!”. 

”WHAT!” screamed Tara and was about to panic ”Oh no our past is keeping up with us again! This is not happening!”. Jaden placed a arm on her shoulder, until Tara relaxed again. 

”Um it's not a big problem! He died after giving me his book!” Jaden said ”Nobody is going to know it! Not yet!”. Tara looked at Jaden and sighed. 

”Oh yeah you told me his body was...!” said Tara and sighed. ”But Jaden the reason you are telling me this is because you want to tell all our friends right!”. Jaden sighed and nodded. Tara sighed.

”Yeah you are right Jaden!” She said ”We promised never to tell anyone, but that has changed right! So when do you want to tell them?!”. Jaden smiled.

”When we graduate!” Jaden said ”When we have passed our first year! When there is no one who is threatening the school”. Tara smiled and nodded. 

”Um Miss Fontaine don't want you to eat some heavy food, so I got you some rice balls and some juice!” said a voice suddenly and Zane walked inside the infirmary. Jaden and Tara both grinned. ”Um I am not disturbing anything right?!”.

”Nope!” said Tara and smiled ”But I am starving! So please give me these rice balls!”. Zane grinned and gave her two rice balls. Tara ate and drank pretty fast. She was really hungry. When she was finished, she began to yawn a little bit. 

”I think I need some more sleep!” She said ”Sorry you guys!”. Zane just smiled. 

”It okay Tara!” Zane said and kissed her on the lips ”I will wait until you are well again!”. Tara smiled, laid down in the bed again, and took Zane's hand. Jaden placed the blankets over her and smiled too.

”Sleep well sis!” He said. Tara's eyes closed and she fell asleep. 

Chazz's p.o.v.

Chazz was sitting on the roof and daydreaming. He sighed a lot.

”Oh my dear Alexis!” He said out loud. Since he was trapped by Banner, he had bin in love with Alexis. He believed that Alexis actually was talking to him, at that time he was locked away inside that planet. He knew she loved him! He sighed and got up on his feet. He sighed again. 

”I know that me and Alexis is meant for each other!” He said out loud ”But who does she hang out with instead of me! Her brother! And even worse Jaden and his stupid sister Tara! Oh and Zane too! And that tennis dude is also in love with Alexis ( I talking about Harrington Rosewood, the tennis player from epi 15). There is so much competition!”. He sighed again. He needed to do something!. 

Zane's p.o.v.

Zane was sitting on a chair near Tara's bed and was waiting for her to wake up again. That was the least he could do, since he couldn't protect her from getting kidnapped. Jaden had left the room. The other students were holding a party and a parade for him, since he had saved them from the shadow riders. Jaden had wished that Tara could come with him, but since she still was sleeping, Zane had convinced Jaden to go anyway. Zane sighed. 

”So how is she?!” said a voice. Zane turned around and saw Alexis standing behind him. She was grinning. 

”Oh Alexis it's you!” He said and smiled ”Um she is feeling better! However Tara still needs rest! But I can't believe that I couldn't protect her!”. Alexis smiled. 

”Don't blame yourself Zane!” said Alexis ”We all got taken hostage from Banner! And she is here now right!”. Zane nodded. 

”But I wished there were something I could do for her!” He said and sighed. 

”Then be there for her!” Alexis said and grinned ”I think that's the only thing she really want! She want to be together with you forever I think!”. Zane smiled. 

”I want to be together with her forever too!” Zane said and took slowly Tara's hand without waking her up. Alexis smiled. 

”Can I stay?!” Alexis asked ”I also want to watch over her!”. Zane smiled and pointed at a chair. Alexis grabbed it and they both looked at each other and waited.

Tara's p.o.v.

Tara woke up because someone was screaming inside her room. It sounded like Jaden's voice, and she opened her eyes. 

”What someone has stolen the spirit keys!” He scream. Tara saw that Zane, Jaden and Alexis was standing a little away from her bed, and was talking with Syrus and Chumley. They all looked shocked. 

”We need to hurry and find them!” said Alexis worried ”Maybe this is the evil Banner was talking about!”. Tara could see that the others all nodded. They were about to rush out of the room now.

”Hey! What about me!” screamed Tara. All the others turned around and looked at her. Tara was about to leave the bed. She was having it a lot better. 

”Tara! You are awake!” said Zane happy and rushed to her side. Tara smiled.

”Well of course, you were all screaming really loud” Tara said and grinned ”But I want to come with you!”. The others looked at her. 

”But are you alright!” asked Jaden concerned. Tara nodded.

”Trust me! I have never had it better!”. They all began leaving the infirmary to look for the thief who stole the keys.

They all arrived at the beach. They had found the thief. It was Chazz! 

”Um Chazz what is going on here!” asked Jaden confused. ”Why do you have the keys!”. Chazz only snort. Tara saw that he was starring at Alexis. 

”Give us the keys Chazz!” said Alexis angry. Chazz blushed??

”Not yet!” He said. Tara and the others were confused. ”Not until you and I duel Alexis!”. Alexis looked really confused. 

”Why do you wanna duel her!” Jaden asked confused. Chazz blushed again??.

”Because I am in love!” Chazz almost scream ”And Alexis is too! She doesn't just know it yet!”. Tara and the others were totally surprised. 

”Why in the world do you think that!” screamed Alexis back. Tara noticed she was taking a quick look at Jaden, before he noticed. Suddenly appeared Atticus in front of them, and was telling them, that Chazz only had stolen the keys, because he loved Alexis. He was saying that Alexis needed help with love life. Tara grinned. She couldn't take Atticus serious, because he was dressed in shorts, had Bermuda shirt on, and was playing a ukulele. The others just looked at her. Alexis sighed. 

”Hey what about we just tackle him!” said Zane and shrugged. The others mumbled.

”Okay Chazz!” said Alexis suddenly ”We have one duel, and even if I loses, the keys are returning back to the chancellor!”. Chazz nodded. 

”But if you lose you will have to be my girlfriend!”. He said. Tara noticed Jaden's surprised face. Maybe Alexis had a chance after all. 

”Hey don't agreed to that!” mumbled Jaden. No one besides Tara heard it. 

”Deal!” said Alexis and the duel began!

Alexis: 4000Lp.

Chazz: 4000Lp.

”I can't wait for you to be my girlfriend!” yelled Chazz excited ”Then we can hold hands, and write notes, and just hangout!”. Tara and the others sweatdropped. Chazz started off. He summoned ”Ojama Yellow” in att mode. Then he placed two facedown's. Chazz then played the spell ”Love letter!”. Alexis now got a gifts from Chazz. She could now choose either his facedown card or his monster. Alexis chose Chazz's facedown. Chazz then used the spell ”Giant trunade” and all spell and trap returned to the owners hand. Because the spell Alexis got from Chazz was ”Hidden wish”, he could now play it now, and deal 1000 points of damage to Alexis, because it returned from Alexis and back to Chazz's hand.  Chazz also gained 1000 Lp. Tara saw that Chazz was daydreaming again, however they all could hear what he was saying. 

”Oh Atticus was right! Dueling is like giving love too!” He said ”When I give Alexis a letter, It is like giving one in the real world. She will so be in love with me!”. Chazz looked at Alexis and smiled.

”So are you feeling our sparks Alexis?!” Chazz said with puppy and sparkling eyes.

 Alexis had a really gross face on and she sighed a lot. Tara sighed too. Chazz had totally lost it. Syrus looked like he was going to throw up. 

”I feels kind of sick this here!” He said. However Chazz was not finished with his move yet. The other facedown card he had out, called ”Treasure map”, if it was sent to the grave, Chazz could now drew two more cards. He placed both cards facedown, and ended his turn. It was finally Alexis turn. She drew and summoned ”Blade skater” in att mode. She attacked Chazz's monster, but Chazz was ready. He revealed his trap ”Ring of destruction” and destroyed ”Alexis's monster. They both got hit by 1400 points of damage. Or like Chazz was saying, ”Like a couple”. Tara looked at Zane. He also looked at her. Tara shook her head. She would never agree to duel like this ever. Maybe as a tag duel, but never a stupid love duel. Like the one Chazz was doing right now. Tara saw that Zane was smiling. 

”I will never have a crazy love duel to show my feelings Tara, don't worry!” Zane said, like he was reading her mind. Tara blushed a little. However the duel continued. It was Chazz's turn. He drew and used the spell ”Grateful Charity”. Chazz could now draw three more cards, but then he should get rit of two to the grave. He then used the spell ”Pot of greed” and got two more cards. Chazz then revealed his second facedown. It was ”Ojama trio”. Alexis got three Ojama tokens on to her field. Now three of her monster card zones, were occupied. Chazz then fused his Ojamas, into ”Ojama king”, and used it's eff. He occupied two more of Alexis's monster card zones. Alexis looked in horror. Now she couldn't summon a monster at all. Chazz smirked and tossed down a facedown. Tara looked at Alexis. She was having some problems now. Tara hoped that she could fix it, because she couldn't see Chazz and Alexis as a couple. Alexis loved Jaden! Her brother and Alexis were meant for each other! Alexis looked really concerned now. However suddenly she was on fire again. Tara hoped she had an idea! Alexis placed one facedown and ended her turn. Chazz's turn. He used the spell ”Dress up” and gave his Ojama king, new outfit, and 300 more att. Chazz also could change the Ojama tokens into att mode, and if he attacks, he could do that over and over again, until Alexis was out of points. 

”I could attack you right now!” Chazz said and smirked ”Then I could win a girlfriend! But it doesn't matter, if she is not madly in love with me!”. Chazz therefore didn't change the Ojama tokens mode. He did however attack and lost some points. They all were really confused now. However Chazz revealed his newest trap ”Dramatic crossroad”. Alexis now has two choices. Option 1: she shall discard a random card from her hand! Option 2: She could also show Chazz her whole hand to him, and Chazz could chose a card from her hand, and add it to his. 

”So come on Alexis, show me your hand!” said Chazz really excited. 

”Um why should she do that!” asked Syrus confused. The others all nodded and agreed. Chazz was just smiling. 

”Because if Alexis really love me! Then she will trust me and show me her hand!” Said Chazz with a dreamy voice ”And she will give me her best card as a token of our love! Then we will live happily ever after!”. Chazz was grinning like a maniac now. Tara felt her stomach vomit a little. Chazz had totally lost it now! 

”Chazz I will never show you my hand!” Said Alexis and Chazz fell to the floor. 

”Wait you rejects me!” said Chazz. Tara could see he was heartbroken.

”Chazz the only one I.. I mean the only thing I love right now is dueling!” said Alexis. Tara grinned. It was faint, but Tara was sure Alexis was blushing a little bit. Chazz sneered, but got up on his feets again. 

”So what!” He suddenly said. He was his annoying self again, for a little bit, thought Tara. Chazz continued ”When I win this duel, you will be mine, either way!”. Everyone was signing now. Even Atticus. However the duel continued. Alexis sighed and shuffled her hand. Then she drew a random card and tossed it to the grave. It was Alexis's turn. She played her spell ”Ritual sanctuary”. If she discarded a spell, Alexis could now add any ritual spell card to her hand. She chose her ”Machine angel ritual”. Since it was a ritual summoning, Alexis could now also sacrifice the three ojama tokens, and got the monster ”Cyber Angel Benten” to the field. She attacked Chazz's king and dealt him 1500 points of damage. Then Alexis used her monsters eff. Chazz was dealt damage equal to his monsters def points. It was 3000. Chazz lost the duel. Chazz looked really surprised and fell down on his knees. 

”She beat me!” He said ”However that's fine! Because Chazz always rise alone!”. However it was only show. Chazz's heart was devastated. Tara looked at Chazz, and then a quick look at Zane, without him noticing. Tara felt sorry for Chazz! He got rejected by the one he loved. Tara had only been lucky with Zane. She would also be devastated if Zane ever had rejected her. Tara saw Alexis walking towards Chazz. She was smiling. 

”We can still be friends!” Alexis said. She was waiting for Chazz's replay. However suddenly the whole Island was shaking! Tara looked at Jaden. 

”Is this the great evil Banner warned us about!” asked Tara, Jaden. 

”I think so!” He said ”I don't think something good is happening, thats for sure!”. Tara nodded. This wasn't a good thing. However it was, Tara was sure that they could stop it! 

A,N: Hope you liked it. The next act is the sacred beast act!
