To the Spirit World

the next day in Garrett's shop
Yusei:(working on his duel runner listening to music)
Garrett walks in
Garrett: Still working on that runner i see
Yusei: Yeah hey Garrett is Dale or Dawn coming over
Garrett: Dawn is but Dale's meeting us over at the stadium
Yusei: alright
Garrett: Yusei I've got to tell you something
Yusei: What is it Garrett
Garrett: Luna's a signer
Yusei:(shocked) what!
Garrett: I found out during Akiza's last duel when her arm started to glow
Yusei: I see and another thing
Garrett: What?
Yusie: Dale's mark never activated yesterday during Akiza's duel
Garrett: Huh that is weird
Yusei: Yeah there's something strange about that no doubt
Garrett: Then sometime today we will have to have a little talk with Goodwin
Yusei: To try and get some answers
Garrett:(nods)
Dawn runs in
Dawn:(happily) Good morning boys
Garrett: Wow you are just a bundle of energy this morning
Dawn: Yup I am just so excited to see who wins this tournament
Yusei: Of course that makes perfect sense now
Dawn: What makes sense
Yusei: Why Goodwin would force us in to this tournament
Garrett: You're right Yusei it does make sense now that I think about it
Dawn: WHAT MAKES SENSE!
Garrett:(falls over from being startled) AHHHH!
Yusei: Goodwin is trying to gather up all the signers but why
Garrett:(from the floor) do you think Goodwin's trying to awaken the crimson dragon and steal its power
Yusei: I sure hope not
Dawn: What in the world would Goodwin use the crimson dragon for
Garrett: I don't know Dawn but I'm pretty sure he won't hand out candy with it
Yusei: Plus we already know about 4 signers for sure
Dawn: 4?
Garrett: Yeah Yusei, Luna, Akiza, and myself
Dawn: What about Dale or Jack
Yusei: I'm not sure about Jack yet
Garrett: And as for Dale I think his mark only activates under certain conditions
Yusei: I see what you mean
Dawn: So Dale's not really a signer
Garrett: No he is, just not counted as one of the 6 main ones
Dawn: Oh okay I think I understand now
Yusei: Well either way we have to stop Goodwin from waking the crimson dragon or it could be the end for all of us
Garrett: Then by the power invested in us as signers we will take Goodwin down
Yusei: Count on it
Dawn: Yeah
a loud ringing is heard
Garrett: Oh wow that's my cell phone
Dawn:(giggles)
Yusei: Of course it is
Garrett: Hello
Dale:(on the phone) Hey where are you?
Garrett: Um at my garage why?
Dale:(on the phone) oh well I'm at the stadium already
Garrett: Why so early the tournament doesn't start for like another hour
Dale:(on the phone) you know I don't sit still very well
Garrett: Alright I guess we're on our way then
Dale:(on the phone) I'll be waiting
Garrett: Okay
Garrett hangs up the phone
Garrett: Dale's already over there
Dawn: This early
Garrett: That's what I told him
Yusei: Then we better get over there
Garrett/Dawn:(nods)
they head over to the stadium and Dale is caught up to date with everything that's happened
Dale: So I'm not really a signer
Garrett: No you are but only through certain conditions can you use your powers
Yusei: So in retrospect you're not one of the six main signers
Dale: That would explain why my mark didn't activate during Akiza's duel
Garrett: That's right
Dawn: That's also why you have the same mark as Garrett the tail mark
Dale: Okay glad that's all cleared up but what do we do about Goodwin now
Yusei: We finish this tournament because I fear that's the only way we can get to Goodwin
Garrett: Sounds like a plan Yus
Dale: I can't wait to see the look on Goodwin's face when I destroy him
Dawn: Uh Dale first you have to win the tournament
Garrett:(smirks) and I'll make sure that doesn't happen
Dale:(smirks)Yeah okay
Leo, Luna, Tanner, and Yanagi all come up to them
Leo: Hey guys what's up
Dale: Nothing much little man
Luna: Ready for the next round you guys
Garrett: You know it Luna
Tanner: Then let's go the second round is about to start
Dawn: Oh yeah you're right let's go
The twins, Dawn, Tanner, and Yanagi all head for the stands while the other three head to the duel lodge
An hour later
MC: Okay young duelists before we start the second round director Goodwin our master of ceremonies has set up a losers bracket so one lucky contestant who lost in the first round will get a chance to duel again
duel lodge
Dale:(angry) What! That's stupid
Garrett: Something's not right here
Yusei: Goodwin's not the one to give second chances unless he's getting something in return
Garrett: This could be a problem
duel field
MC: Now for the lucky duelist to participate. It's our favorite green haired girl it's Luna
in the stands a light shines down on Luna
fans: Luna Luna Luna Luna
Leo: Wow this is awesome I get another chance to duel
Yanagi: I'm afraid the jig is up Leo they want your sister
Luna: No I can't duel
Dawn: But why not Luna?
Leo: Oh no not this stuff again
Tanner: What's wrong Leo
Leo: She claims that she can hear duel spirits but I just think she's afraid to lose
Tanner: I don't know Leo I have seen a lot of crazy things
Luna: It's true I get this weird feeling every time I duel
Dawn: Well if you don't want to then we'll have Leo duel for you again
Leo: Yeah I like that plan let's go with that
Luna: No I'll do it(she walks down to the field)
Dawn: Guys I've got a bad feeling about this
duel lodge
Dale: Hey guys check this out
Yusei: Luna's dueling
Garrett: Who's her opponent?
with Goodwin
Lazar: so Luna's dueling again. We got the right one this time right
Goodwin: Yes Lazar that's Luna
Jack walks in
Jack: So what's the status on the signers Goodwin
Goodwin: Well Jack there's two we know about for sure
Jack: Me and who else. Is it Yusei or Garrett?
Goodwin: No we haven't confirmed if Yusei or Garrett have marks yet.
Lazar: The other signer is miss Akiza
Jack: She's a signer!
Goodwin: That's right Jack she is
Jack: You know Goodwin its going to either be Yusei or Garrett that wins this tournament right
Goodwin: That may be Jack but right now it is crucial that we find the remaining four signers for the good of this city
Jack: So why do you think the little girl's a signer Goodwin I saw her brother duel and he's not half bad
Goodwin: Because Jack years ago she claimed that she could hear and see duel spirits. So she was taken to a special place to test that claim. Then one day during one of her duels she fell into a coma and strangely enough her brother was the only one that believed she would awake and then she did only a month later.
Jack: That sounds like quite the fairy tale if you ask me
Goodwin: But when she woke up she said she was not asleep but in the duel monster's spirit world
Jack: Yeah and I'm a Blue Eyes White Dragon this is ridiculous
Lazar: We have reason to believe she was telling the truth Jack. Because for example she knew of the ancient star legend and more information about the people of the stars
Goodwin: Unfortunately her memory began to fade and now she remembers nothing of that land
Jack: Okay then whatever
duel field
MC: And for her opponent the Professor. He's got a degree in hypnology, psychology and dueology
in the stands
Leo: I don't like this that guy looks really creepy
Dawn: I have the same feeling Leo this guy is definitely a few tacos short of a fiesta
duel field
Professor: Hello dear Luna
Luna: Um hi
Professor: The first move is yours
Luna: Whatever(draws a card) I summon Sunny Pixie in def mode(1/300/400) and end my turn
Professor: Then my turn(draws a card) I summon Symmetry Rorschach(3/1200/1200) now look into this creature and tell me what you see
Luna: 'Oh no this monster won't let me concentrate'
Professor: Look hard try to remember past memories and tell me what you see
Luna: But I'm afraid

Dale: Hey guys I'll be back in awhile tell me how this duel plays out
Garrett: 10-4 good buddy
Dale leaves

Professor: Ah the Ancient Forest field spell. Now all monsters are switched to attack mode and nobody can summon any monsters into def mode plus if you attack then your monster is destroyed
Luna:(activates the field spell)
Professor: Now it's my turn(draws a card)
Luna's arm glows bright red
in the spirit world
Luna: Huh where am I?
Voice: Luna

Yusei: Alright
They both run out
In the spirit world
Voice: You promised that you would protect this world
Luna: But I don't know if I can I don't remember
Voice: It's okay you will have help
Luna: Who?
Voice: Here she comes now
Dawn appears
Luna: Dawn?
Dawn: Luna what's going on where are we
Luna: I think we're in the duel monsters spirit world
Voice: that is correct but this place is in danger an evil presence is trying to gain access to this place
Kuribon appears
Luna: It's Kuribon
Dawn: Yup it is
duel field
Professor: I sacrifice my Rorschach to summon Ido the Supreme Magical Force(6/2200/0) now when this monster is destroyed it comes right back but unfortunately I can't have any more monsters on my side of the field next i activate Gestalt Trap now Kuribon loses its effect and all of it's attack points
Luna:(0)
in the spirit world the trap forms around Kuribon
Luna: Oh no Kuribon
Dawn: Luna look
Ido appears
Luna: Ahhhhh
Dawn: Luna it's okay(hugs her)
Luna: No you can't hurt me here this is a safe place
Voice: Watch out that thing is evil
duel field
Professor: Now I equip Kuribon with Immortal Homeostasis now he can't be destroyed in battle plus you lose 300 points every time your turn comes around now I attack you with Ido
Luna:(LP1800)
Professor: Now because of the field spell hes destroyed but then he comes back(6/2200/0) I end my turn
Luna: I go(draws a card)
Professor: And now you lose 300 points
Luna:(LP1500) And I summon Sunlight Unicorn in attack mode(4/1800/1000) now I activate the spell Horn of the Unicorn to give my monster 700 more attack points(2500)
in the spirit world Sunlight Unicorn appears
Luna: Sunlight Unicorn!
Dawn: 'This must be how the duel is going in the real world' Luna Sunlight Unicorn is going to protect us
duel field
Luna: Now I attack you with my unicorn
Professor:(LP3700) What how is she able to fight back
Yusei appears at the duel field
Yusei: Man what's wrong with Luna it's like she's completely hypnotized her eyes are so distant it's gotta be this professor freak
in the stands
Garrett: Guys what's going on up here
Tanner: We're not sure its as if Leo's been hypnotized and Dawn just passed out for no reason
Garrett: I see(walks over to Dawn) come on Dawn you gotta wake up
In the spirit world Sunlight Unicorn attacks Ido and both monsters are destroyed but Ido returns
Luna: ahhhh
Dawn: Man is there anyway to get rid of this thing
duel field
Professor: No matter I will still find a way to get to the spirit world
Luna: Now since Horn of the Unicorn was sent to the graveyard it goes back to the top of my deck now I activate the spell card Emergency Assistance to bring back Sunlight Unicorn(4/1800/1000) now for it's effect I can look at the top card of my deck and if it's a spell card I can play it so I play Horn of the Unicorn(2500) now I place two cards face down and end my turn
in spirit world Sunlight Unicorn returns
Luna: Sunlight Unicorn you're back
Dawn: That's a relief
then Ido roars
Dawn: Uh Luna we might want to run
Luna: Yeah but where?
Voice: Luna use your Sunlight Unicorn to escape
Luna: Good idea hop on Dawn
Dawn: Okay
they ride off on Sunlight Unicorn
Luna: What happened here it's so dark and full of sorrow
Voice: That's because an evil force is attacking us and destroying the spirit world
Luna: Then what do we do?
Voice: Don't you remember when you were little you came here once and we all had a good time and played together. It was then that you made your promise to protect this realm
Dawn: But then something happened right?
Voice: Yes Luna was sent back to the human world due to her brother being able to call out to her and after she left I was captured and then sealed away in this granite prison that's when the spirit world began to crumble
Luna: I remember now you're the Ancient Fairy Dragon right
AFD: Yes that's right Luna
Dawn: It's nice to meet you AFD
Leo: Luna Luna
Luna: Leo is that you?
Leo: Yes it's me

They take Leo away
Garrett: 'Man I hope everybody is okay'
in the spirit world
Luna: Leo you have to help me and Dawn. Get us outta here
Leo: No Luna I can't
Luna: Why not?
AFD: Your brother's spirit has not fully reached here which means if you don't defeat this foe then your brother's spirit will be lost forever
Dawn: That's horrible
Leo: Luna you have to keep fighting. You have to protect this world, I'll protect you so you can protect them
Luna: Alright I'll do it
Dawn: Yeah and I'll help out to
Luna: Alright then let's do this

Professor: Finally I found the way in take me to the spirit world Luna(a bright light flashes and he becomes distant as well)
Yusei: Something big is happening their bodies might be here but their spirits are somewhere else
in the spirit world
Professor: I can't believe I finally left my body behind I have reached the spirit world
Luna: No you can't be here you're not welcome
Dawn: Yeah get out now
Professor: I don't think so I've devoted my whole life to finding this place and now that I have I shall destroy it and make it my own(he destroys some of the trees around the area)
Luna: No I promised to protect this world and thats just what I'm going to do let's finish this duel
Professor: Fine by me it's my turn(draws a card)
Luna: And I activate my trap Pixie Ring so now you can't attack Kuribon he's safe
Dawn: Yeah good move Luna
Professor: Fine then I activate the spell card Wave of Ill Intent now when my monster is destroyed you lose 300 LPs and I also activate this my Prized Spirit Contamination spell so when Ido is destroyed I can destroy one spell or trap card on your side of the field now I attack your unicorn with Ido
Luna: But why?
Professor(LP3400) now my two spell cards activate so you lose LPs and your Pixie Ring trap card
Luna: Ahhhh(LP1200)
Dawn: Oh no Luna!
Professor: I end my turn so now Ido returns to the field(6/2200/0)
Luna: Then it's my turn(draws a card)
Professor: And you lose 300LPs thanks to Immortal Homeostasis
Luna: Ahhh(LP900) I place 1 card face down and activate Healing Wind so I can regain 300 LPs for each of my face downs(LP1500) now I end my turn
Professor: Then it's my turn now(draws a card) and I attack you with Ido end this duel
Luna: I activate Fairy Wind so now all face-up spells and traps are destroyed and we each take 400 points of damage for each of them(LP300)
Professor: urg(LP2200) I'm still attacking you
Luna: Now I use Kuribon's ability to negate your attack and put him back in my hand
Professor: Urgh
Luna: Now you gain LP equal to your monsters attack points
Professor:(laughs)(LP4400)
Then the stone form of Ancient Fairy Dragon grabs the Professor
Dawn: Oh no Luna AFD is going to crush him do something
Luna: I activate Oberon's Prank this card reverses Kuribon's effect and damages both of us
Professor: nooooooo(LP0)
He blows away
