The Twelfth Shadow Rider

Duel Monster's Spirit day was over. And now school was back to normal, or as normal as it could be since Professor Banner was missing. Classes had begun to get a bit dull as Banner usually made the class laugh when one of his alchemy experiments ended in failure. But for three Slifers in the Slifer Red Dorm, they weren't bothered with class as they had something else on their mind.
"Ah!" Syrus screamed. "We overslept!"
"This means we missed breakfast!" Chumley added as he and Syrus along with Jaden ran into the Slifer canteen to see if their breakfast was still there.
They ran into the canteen and saw that there were three trays of food still left. "Phew, there's still some left. All right."
"Let's dig in." Syrus smiled though none of them noticed that Chazz was sitting nearby with a smirk on his face
"Not all that much to dig in to." Jaden commented as he held up an empty bowl
"Someone's cleared off our trays." Syrus added holding up an empty tray
"What kind of a selfish slime would do that?" Chumley questioned
Then they figured out the answer when they heard a snort and turned to see Chazz smirking. It was clear that Chazz had eaten their food and the three walked up to him with angry looks on their faces. 
"You snooze, you lose" Chazz laughed
Syrus hissed and slammed his hands on the table. 
"That's it!" He snapped. "Give us back our food or I'm telling."
Chazz laughed. "I would give it back, only I ate it all, and it was good."
"Professor!" Syrus called out
"Banner!" Chumley added
"Chazz is being Chazz again." Jaden added but there was no answer and they looked to where Professor Banner usually stayed which was just behind the Slifer canteen. And there was no one there. 
"Don't tell me that Banner is still missing?" Jaden added. "This is getting weird and I don't like this at all."
...
Later that day, it was time for school and class. Everyone was sitting in the lecture hall for their lecture. Only there was no teacher as it was Professor Banner's class and Banner was still missing so there was no teacher to teach them. Jaden was sitting in between Chumley and Syrus looking sad. While he usually slept through class, he was starting to miss Professor Banner.
"Oh it will be okay Jaden." Syrus said to him
"Yeah totally." Chumley added. "Chancellor Sheppard has a whole crew of people searching for professor Banner. They'll find him."
"It's just a matter of time." Syrus finished
"I hope" Jaden said sadly
Chumley then smiled "Well on the bright side, at least we get a break from class"
Chumley spoke too soon as the door opened and then Dr Crowler, the head of Obelisk Blue walked in carrying a textbook. This made everyone look up as they wondered why Crowler was here. "Good morning students." Crowler greeted. "Guess what, due to Professor Banner's absence, I will be your substitute teacher for the day. Aren't you lucky." then Crowler growled angrily and he slammed the books onto the desk. "Because I'm certainly not, it was suppose to be my day off!" The students all looked at him as he sat down on the chair and opened the textbook where he took out a piece of paper that had a circle with a dot in the middle. "Let's see here, the mark of Amnael." Crowler said as he began the lesson. "Yes, it looks like that's where Professor Banner left off. More Duel Alchemy nonsense I'm sure. Now according to these tomes, the basis for that is... hmm... not that... that doesn't make any sense, I don't even know how to pronounce that word." Crowler then flicked through the tome before looking around before he slammed the book shut "What gibberish!" He yelled out. "This makes no sense, and he's teaching you it. Well perhaps it's a good thing he's missing; after all, he's polluting your young minds with this rubbish. It makes no sense and it's pointless!"
Daylen and Solona sat next to each other and they grinned. 
"Oh boy." Daylen laughed. "He hates this stuff."
Solona laughed as well. "Actually brother, I don't think he understands it himself"
Aedan sat near them "Well Professor Banner's lessons never really made much sense." He said. "But we laughed when his experiments went wrong.
Later, Crowler had set up Banner's small lad and he took out a piece of wire and wire cutters. "All right, it's time for some lab work, according to the syllabus." Crowler cut a piece of the wire and curled it up to make it look like the mark. "Now let's see, I think this is right." Then he dipped the wire into a beaker of liquid which bubbled and then exploded which created a cloud of dust. Crowler coughed and find the wire stuck to his forehead. He quickly ripped it off and then moaned in pain as a mark was left on his forehead. "Ow, hot, hot! What rubbish Duel Alchemy is!"
Many of the students laughed at Crowler though Jaden still looked depressed. "Oh boy, I sure wish that Professor Banner would show up soon."
Zevran was sitting behind them. "Though usually Professor Banner usually blows himself up as well. Most of the time we found that funny."
"True." Jaden said
"Head's up Jaden." Syrus called
"Why, what's wrong?" Jaden asked
"Mr Slifer Slacker." Crowler called which made Jaden look at him. "Chancellor Sheppard would like a word with you. And the rest of the gang as well, report to him at once."
...
Soon, Jaden along with Chazz, Alexis, Aedan, Solona, Daylen and Neria were at Chancellor Sheppard's office with the Chancellor sitting in his chair along with Dr Crowler and Professor Dorian. Sheppard then told them that there was still no sign of Professor Banner.
"What do you mean there's no sign of him?" Jaden questioned "Professor Banner couldn't have just vanished into thin air. Could he?"
"Who knows." Chancellor Sheppard replied. "The bottom line is that we've looked everywhere and we can't find him anywhere."
"When I worked with the Seekers, sometimes we've searched for people." Dorian stated. "But even I can't find any signs of Professor Banner."
"Well there's no log of him leaving the Island." Crowler added
Chazz snorted and he closed his eyes. "So then we should know what really happened then."
"And what is that Chazz?" Aedan asked
"It's simple, Banner got sucked into the Shadows." Chazz answered. "And could be the final Shadow Rider."
"Don't say that!" Alexis snapped
"Professor Banner was always nice to everyone." Neria added. "There's no way he could be the final Shadow Rider."
"Although Chazz does have a point." Aedan admitted. "It's odd how he vanished shortly after Atticus told that he had sent him, Alistair, Leliana and Zevran to the Abandoned Dorm."
"Maybe he was being controlled." Solona stated. "Just like how the Venatori controlled my father"
Sheppard looked at them. 
"Well we have had no new activity on the Shadow Riders." He stated. "We have seven Spirit Gates Keys and only one Shadow Rider."
"But even so, this Final Shadow Rider may be the toughest." Solona added
"I agree." Jaden said. "But I still think the Shadow Riders have something to do with Professor Banner vanishing. And we need to find out what."
...
Later, Jaden along with Chumley and Syrus stood outside the Duel Academy Building. 
"So how do we find out what's up if we can't find Banner?" Chumley questioned. "Or another breakfast."
"You know, Chumley's right." Syrus replied. "I mean Chancellor Sheppard turned Duel Academy inside out."
"I would like to help." Chumley said. "I want to find Banner but what can the three of us do that hasn't already been done, you know what I mean. Maybe we should just go and find some food."
Jaden looked at them. "Look guys, I know it seems hopeless but we have to keep trying. We can't give up, we owe it to Banner, he would do the same thing for us. Right."
"Right." The voice of Chazz came and they turned to see Chazz and Aedan standing near them.
Syrus gasped in shock. 
"What are you doing here Chazz?" He asked
Chazz laughed. "I'm not here to cause trouble; I'm here to find Professor Banner."
"For all we know Banner could be in danger." Aedan added. "Solona and Daylen have gone out to find any signs of him in the forest along with Neria, Kallian and Theorn."
"But what we need to do is to find clues to Banner's whereabouts." Chazz added. "And the best place to do that is to go to the crime scene."
"That's the problem." Syrus smiled. "We don't know where it is."
Chazz growled at him. 
"Listen!" He snapped. "It's a figure of speech. Now come on." Chazz then walked off with Aedan following him. "We just need to retrace Banner's steps."
"And the best place to do that is his office." Aedan added and then the three Slifers followed him.
...
Later, the three of them were inside Professor Banner's office which was just behind the Slifer Canteen. They looked through his books and desks to see if there were any clues.
"Well guys there are no clues here." Syrus said looking through a bookshelf.
"Yeah, nothing here either." Jaden added looking through another bookshelf. "You think he would leave a note or something."
It was then that Chumley pulled out a note from a pile of books near the phone. 
"He did, look." He said
Jaden then looked at the note. "It's Professor Banner's handwriting, because it's not very clear, something tree."
"It must be code." Chazz said. "Let me see that." He took the note from Jaden's hands and he looked through it. "It must have something to do with the final Shadow Rider."
"But it doesn't show the whereabouts of the Shadow Rider, there must be another clue." Aedan stated
"Is this a clue?" Jaden asked as he held up Professor Banner's muddy shoes
"Well all that says is that Banner went walking in muddy places." Aedan stated
"What about these?" Chumley asked holding up a set of headphones
"You've got to be kidding me?" Chazz groaned. "What do they have to do with Banner missing, you have to look harder."
"Some breakfast crumbs?" Chumley asked after finding some crumbs on a table
"That's just someone's food." Aedan groaned
"I've found a ball of lent." Syrus added
"Yeah right." Chazz groaned
"What about toenail clippings." Jaden asked after finding some clippings
"Ewwww gross." Aedan groaned. "Get rid of them."
Then finally, Aedan found a map hidden among the books, then he unrolled it to reveal a map of the forest. 
"Hey, look at this." He called and then the others looked at the map as well. "It's a map."
"And look at that." Chazz added as he pointed to a section of the map which had a mark on it. "Check that mark out, it's the mark of Amnael, the one we learned in class."
"You're right." Jaden replied
"Now this is a clue, the Mark of Amnael has something to do with Banner" Chazz added "So now we just need to go to the location where the Mark is on the map"
...
Later, Jaden, Chazz, Aedan, Syrus and Chumley were all in the Forest as they followed Chazz through the forest, since it has his idea; Chazz said that they had to follow him.
"So Chazz, aside from following you, what is the plan?" Syrus asked
"Yeah, how do we find Banner when we get to the Alchemy Mark." Chumley added
Chazz smirked. "It's simple, we find his cat Pharaoh, we find him, then we find Banner." He said as he held up the cat toy.
Aedan looked at him. 
"But didn't you already try that?" He asked. "You searched for a while and you found nothing."
"Maybe you should try a different plan," Jaden suggested
"Hey, I have an idea." Syrus called
"Really?" Chazz questioned "And what is your idea."
"Well since calling out for Pharaoh didn't work, let's try this instead." Syrus laughed and he grabbed a pen and then drew stripes and cat whiskers on Chazz's face "There, perfect, now Pharaoh will think you're a cat, of course, you'll have to come up with a convincing Meow."
Aedan chuckled while Chazz started growling which the three Slifers noticed and then they turned and ran off with Chazz chasing them while Aedan sighed and ran after them. 
"How about I show you my claws instead!" Chazz growled. "You better run."
They all ran off but they had no idea that up in the trees, a figure in a dark grey robe with a mask was watching them.
...
Meanwhile, over at the Obelisk Blue Boys Dorm, Alexis was walking to see her brother Atticus. But then she felt her Spirit Key tremble which caused her to gasp as she realized that a Shadow Rider was nearby and it seemed to be coming from her brother's room. Alexis then ran into her brother's room and gasped when she saw that his room had been trashed. The chairs were knocked over along with the TV and the windows were smashed.
"Atticus, no he's gone!" Alexis gasped and then she heard a humming noise and looked near her brother's bed to see a strange glowing green mark that was a circle with a dot in the middle, then the Mark faded and Alexis narrowed her eyes. 
"All right, who's there?" she demanded. Then she saw someone jump off the balcony and run into the forest so Alexis ran over to the Balcony and ran after him. She ran after the strange man for a while. 
"Where's my brother?" she demanded. Eventually she caught up to the man in a clearing. "So let me guess, you're a Shadow Rider."
The man activated his duel disk in response which was the same as a Duel Academy Duel disk only that it was a much dark grey in color.
Alexis then activated her Duel disk. 
"So let's go, because I know you have Atticus and I'm not leaving here without him." Alexis stated and then both duelists drew their cards.
"Duel!"
Alexis: 8000
Shadow Rider: 8000
The Shadow Rider went first but he didn't play any monsters and just threw a face down.
"Here I come Rider." Alexis stated as she drew her sixth card. "First off, I'm playing the spell card Polymerization to fuse Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater together to create, Cyber Blader." The blue and red warrior appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2100 Defense 800) "You picked the wrong key keeper to mess with, Cyber Blader, attack him directly." Cyber Blader then jumped and then zoomed towards the Shadow Rider but then the face down card activated which pushed Cyber Blader back. 
"Huh, a trap card?" Alexis questioned. "Cyber Blader's attack didn't go through, not good."
...
Meanwhile, Chazz had stopped chasing the others and they had all started to call out for Banner.
"Banner." Chazz called out at the same time Aedan did.
"Professor." Jaden called out. "Hello." They stopped when they heard Syrus scream in terror. The three of them turned to see Syrus and Chumley running towards them.
"Jaden!" Syrus called out in terror. "Snake, we saw a snake."
"So what." Chazz grumbled
"We are in a forest you know." Jaden added
"And the snakes here are not poisonous though they can still bite." Aedan added
"Not helping Aedan." Jaden remarked
"Well these snakes weren't very natural." Chumley cried out
Then they heard hissing noises and they looked up, they gasped in shock when they saw live snakes falling from the trees with their jaws wide open and hissing angrily. The five of them gasped out and then ran away from the snakes.
...
Meanwhile, Alexis was dueling the Shadow Rider, she no longer had her Cyber Blader out which was replaced with her Ritual Monster Cyber Angel Vrash though the Shadow Rider had no monsters and they were pretty close with their life points.
Alexis: 2000
Shadow Rider: 1500
Now it was the Shadow Rider's turn and then he drew his card. Then Alexis looked at him with determination in his eyes but then something glowed and she looked up to see many small meteors coming down from the sky. They crashed onto the Field and exploded, Alexis shielded herself as flames covered her field and then she watched in horror as her Cyber Angel Vrash started melting before shattering into particles.
"Oh no!" Alexis gasped. "My Cyber Angel Vrash is gone." Then she gasped loudly when she saw a huge monster on her opponent's field and her eyes widened with shock "And that means that I'm wide open for a direct attack!" The huge dragon like monster sent out a blast of green fire which engulfed Alexis, she screamed as the attack hit her.
Alexis: 0000
Shadow Rider: 1500 (Winner)
Alexis dropped to the floor as her cards fell out of her duel Disk. She lay motionless on the floor as the Shadow Rider walked up to her. Her Spirit Gate key vanished and then the Shadow Rider opened a large tome which glowed and then Alexis' body glowed and she was then absorbed by the book. The Shadow Rider then closed the book and looked at the cover which had the Millennium symbol on which glowed. The Shadow Rider then walked away as he left Alexis cards on the floor.
...
Shortly afterwards, a group of five people walked into the forest. Two were boys and three were girls. Three wore Ra Yellow uniforms while two wore Obelisk Blue. It was Solona and her brother along with Neria, three of the remaining Key Keepers. They had gone out to search for Banner and their friends Kallian and Theorn had joined them.
"It's getting dark." Theorn stated
"We might want to start heading back to our dorms soon." Kallian added
"Well we have to try and find some clues about Banner." Solona stated
"My sister is right." Daylen added. "Banner is our teacher and for all we know, he could be in trouble."
It was then that Neria noticed something. 
"Hey, take a look at this." She called and the five of them ran over to see a pile of cards scattered on the floor. "Who's are these cards."
"Why would anyone just leave their cards lying around?" Kallian questioned. "Why would someone abandon them."
Neria then gasped when she looked at the card "I don't think someone just left them." She revealed. "Look at this card, it's Cyber Blader."
"And here's Cyber Angel Vrash." Solona added picking up a card
"And its Fusion and Ritual Weapon spell cards." Daylen gasped
Theorn widened his eyes. 
"There's only one person who had these cards." he gasped
"Alexis." Solona stated. "These are Alexis' cards."
"Alexis would never leave her cards here." Theorn stated
"If her cards are here then that could only mean one thing." Daylen stated
"The Twelfth Shadow Rider defeated her." Solona stated
"Oh no." Kallian gasped
Solona gathered up Alexis' cards. "We better go find the others, these woods aren't safe anymore."
...
Meanwhile, Jaden along with Syrus, Chumley, Chazz and Aedan had managed to get away from the snakes. It was now dark and they had built a fire in the woods.
"You know, this part of the forest sure is weird." Syrus commented
"Yeah." Jaden agreed. "flying snakes."
"This must have something to do with the final Shadow Rider."
Syrus looked at Jaden. "It will be alright, I'm sure we'll find Banner soon."
"I hope so." Jaden replied. "Because I really miss him. You know all the little things he did. Like when he shared that rice with chili sauce. Now that's a friend, don't you think?"
"Well yeah." Aedan stated. "Though you do know that Professor Banner is allergic to chili sauce."
"He is?" Jaden questioned
"Though I'm sure that had little to do with it." Chumley added then he looked at Syrus. "And he was always nice to you Syrus."
"Yeah I guess." Syrus replied. "Though sometimes he would share even when we didn't want to. Like the time with that milk." Syrus remembered when Banner gave Syrus milk even when he already had a drink.
"Okay, maybe he acted a bit weird sometimes." Chumley added
"He always blew himself up in his Alchemy experiments." Aedan added which made them laugh
"We always got a laugh out of it" Jaden smiled
Chazz snorted. "Weird, I tell you what's weird, the time when he gave me his carrots even though I told him I don't like carrots and then he said I did and made me give him my dessert. He sure was shifty sometimes."
Syrus sighed. "It's true, like that time he helped me learn how to swim, I just ended up spearing fish for his dinner."
"Yeah, I guess he kind of had two sides to him." Jaden stated. "But that doesn't make him a bad person."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Syrus smiled
"Well that's why we're looking for him." Chazz stated
"Then we should get back to looking for him." Aedan said as he stood up.
"I agree." Chazz said as he stood up. "Break time's over. Now let's go and find Banner."
"Right." Everyone agreed but then they heard a meow sound.
"Did you hear that?" Chumley asked
"That sounds like Pharaoh." Syrus stated
Aedan grabbed a torch and he walked over to the bush. "It came from over here." He stated and then they all went through the bush as they called out for Pharaoh.
The meowing got louder. 
"He's close." Chazz stated. "Let's split up, this could be our only chance. We'll cover more ground if we split up"
"Right, let's go." Jaden stated
"I'll go with Chazz." Aedan stated. "And you three look together." he pointed at Jaden, Syrus and Chumley. They nodded and then they all walked off in separate directions.
...
Chazz and Aedan walked together as they tried to find Pharaoh "Pharaoh!" Chazz called out as he waved the cat toy. "Where are you, here kitty, come out."
Aedan sighed. 
"We've been search for a while now." He said. "Maybe he ran off."
Then the spirit of Ojama Yellow appeared. 
"Something's wrong." He said as he sat on Chazz's shoulder. "I'm scared."
Chazz snorted as he looked at the Duel Spirit. "Yeah well what's new?"
Ojama Yellow looked at him more "Look boss, something just isn't right here."
Chazz snorted and he used his hand and swatted the Duel Spirit away. 
"Oh please." He snorted. "Get lost."
Aedan looked at him, he knew he was talking to his Duel Spirits but he knew that Chazz had to be careful if he did that in public as he would be talking to himself. Then he jumped when he heard the meow noise again. 
"Did you hear that?" He questioned
"I sure did." Chazz smiled and then he shone his torch on the ground and then he found Pharaoh. 
"Ah, Pharaoh." He grinned
"Hey look at this." Aedan noted as he kneeled down next to Banner as he picked something up. "It's Professor Banner's glasses."
"He's close." Chazz said and then he heard a hum and shone the torch again. 
"What the?" He questioned as he saw a strange green mark of a circle with dot in the middle appear which then faded and then he found something else "It's Banner's necktie."
"And here's Banner's lab coat." Aedan added as he picked up a white shirt
"But where's Banner?" Chazz asked
Then the Spirits of the Five Ojama brothers appeared. 
"Who cares?" Yellow asked.
"This is creepy." Green added
"Let's just go already." The other three said.
But then the wind picked up and Chazz and Aedan looked to see that they were at the edge of a small lake and there was an island where a hooded figure was standing. The figure looked at them before he activated his Duel Disk.
"So you're the one who took Banner." Chazz hissed. "Well I'm going to win him back."
"We'll do this together." Aedan stated and he and Chazz activated their Duel Disks and then noticed that they were walking on the water. "Well that's weird."
Chazz just smirked.
"Get him Chazz." Ojama Yellow smiled
"We're with you." Ojama Green added
"That's right." Black agreed
"It's time to Chazz you up." Chazz and the three Ojamas said together.
"We better be careful." Aedan stated. "I don't think this Shadow Rider will be easy."
...
Meanwhile, Pharaoh the cat had ran off into the forest again but Chumley picked him up.
"Hey look, I've found Pharaoh." he said to the others
"Way to go Chumley." Syrus smiled
Jaden then looked. "Hey Pharaoh, where's your pal, Professor Banner?" he asked and then Jaden noticed that his Medallion started to glow. "My Medallion, it's glowing, which could only mean that there's a Shadow Duel going on."
...
Chazz and Aedan's Duel with the Shadow Rider did have some problems. Aedan had his Knight Commander out while Chazz had his ABC Dragon Buster and his XYZ Dragon Cannon though they only had 1500 life points left. But now it was Chazz's turn. "All right, ABC and XYZ will destroy your monsters." He ordered and both monsters fired shots from their cannons which destroyed the Shadow Rider's monsters though he took no damage since he was in defense mode. "And now I leave this up to my friend Aedan."
"Thanks pal." Aedan stated. "Make your move because this may be your last."
The Shadow Rider said nothing as he looked at them
...
After seeing the Medallion glow, Jaden became concerned and so he along with Syrus and Chumley went off to find Chazz. 
"Hey Chazz" Jaden called. "We found Pharaoh. Where are you? Chazz Hello. Aedan, are you here?"
"They couldn't have gone far." Syrus stated
"They could be dueling the final Shadow Rider." Jaden stated. "And if they are then they could be in trouble. We were wrong we never should have split up. I just hope that they're okay."
...
Back with the Duel, the shadow Rider drew his card before summoning a strange large rock like monster which made Chazz widen his eyes. 
"Wait, what the?" He gasped. "What is that thing?"
Then the Shadow Rider played a spell card and a black vortex appeared above the field and then there was a meteor shower and the Meteors crashed onto the field which made Chazz and Aedan cover their eyes and then they watched in horror as their monsters began melting before shattering.
"No, our monsters!" Aedan gasped
"We're wide open." Chazz added and then he saw a strange green glow come from a book in the Shadow Rider's coat. "Wait, it's that Mark again, but why?"
The Shadow Rider looked at them before ordering an attack, the large rock golem monster sent a fireball which exploded over the field and caused Aedan and Chazz to scream out and their screams were heard all over the woods.
...
Jaden along with Syrus and Chumley gasped when they heard the screams. 
"You hear that?" Jaden questioned
"That sounded like Chazz and Aedan." Chumley stated
The three of them ran to try and find Chazz and Aedan and soon they came to the lake where Chazz and Aedan had been dueling. 
"Chazz, Aedan, are you here?" Jaden called but he gasped when he saw the glowing green mark of Amnael on the lake above a pile of cards in the Lake.
"Jaden look." Chumley gasped
Jaden gasped as he saw cards scattered across the lake and he saw the five Ojama Spirits crying. Jaden then dropped his torch. 
"These are Aedan and Chazz's cards." Jaden gasped. 
"CHAZZ, AEDAN!" He then yelled out.
...
Deep below Duel Academy was an underground ruin with strange pillars and some kind of container in the middle. The container had 12 holes in and five of them were glowing. This was where the Spirit Gate Keys went. The dark hooded figure approached the container and he opened up his book and the mark glowed as three more of the slots started to glow. There was a rumble as the Spirit Gates started to move apart. The slots started to glow more as each one emitted a bright light. The Figure then laughed as he walked away to find his next victim.
...
Duel Academy Island started to rumble and shake. It felt like an earthquake, Solona and her group were searching near the coast when they felt the rumble "What's going on?" Kallian gasped
"That sound like some of the Spirit Gates are opening." Neria stated and they all watched as eight large pillars of light shot out from the water. The pillars surrounded the Island and Daylen looked around.
"What's going on?" Theorn gasped
"This can't be good." Daylen spoke up. "These lights must be the Spirit Gates."
"And there are eight, which means that eight of the Spirit Gates have opened." Neria stated
"Then that means that the Final Shadow Rider has defeated 3 of the Key Keepers." Solona stated.
"We better keep an eye out in case that Shadow Rider finds us." Neria stated
They all then froze when they heard a wicked laugh. They looked around to find the source of the laugh.
"Who's there?" Theorn demanded.
"Come on out, we're not scared of you." Solona stated.
They all heard the laugh again which was followed by a shrill scream. They looked around and Daylen gasped when he saw that Neria was gone. 
"Neria no!" Theorn gasped. "That Shadow Rider got Neria!"
"Come on then." Solona stated. "We have to go and find her, this Shadow Rider is dangerous and we need to make sure she's safe. And if she duels the final shadow Rider then we need to back her up."
"Right." Daylen smiled and then he along with Solona, Kallian and Theorn ran into the woods to find Neria and the final Shadow Rider. 
"Don't worry Neria," Daylen said. "We're coming to help you."
