"You really understand nothing, do you?" Tamra said. "You won't survive for more than three turns." Tamra repeated. "I told you that this would be quick. And it will be. I set 3 cards, clearing my hand. Turn end." Tamra said. "...For surviving for longer than I previously thought you would, I'll tell you something. If you really must know, yes, I do work with the Twilight Invaders." Tamra said. "That's all you're getting from me. Now then... Continue. But don't try anything. You'll only end up hurting yourself." Tamra said. "Whenever you're ready, let me know." Tamra continued. She paused for a second, then said "I'm interested... How far are you willing to go?" Tamra asked. "Every time I reach my own End Phase, I'll tell you another piece of information. Live long enough, you'll hear it all. Live longer, you'll the able to pass it onto others."

"Now it is my turn, I Draw," said Jackson. "Now because it is my stand by phase my Life Points must be cut in half. Now I activate The Draw of the Fallen Flame's allowing each of us to draw one card for each Legendary Flame monster in our Graveyard. That means we each draw 7 cards." he drew the seven cards and then looked at his hand. "Now I activate the effect of Return of Fire which allows me to bring back a Level 4 or lower monster. I choose to bring back The Destruction of the Flame's. Now that destroy's all Trap and Spell cards on the field." all of the cards disappeared. "Now I activate the Field Spell The Fortress of Fire. Next I summon Life of Fire. When this card is summoned to the field your Life Points get Raised by 500 times the amount of cards your opponent has on the field so therefore it is raised by 2000, so now I activate the effect of Born from Flames to Create Flames and I special Summon Synchron of Flame's, now I synchro summon Sorcerer of the Lava, now my Life Points goes down by 1000 because of your Asterisk, because I used Synchron of the Flame's to synchro summon it it gains 500 attack points. I set two Face Down cards and I attack your Asterisk with my Sorcerer." said Jackson as the Sorcerer shot a beam at the dragon which was in defense position.

[.:Sonaria:.]

"Once again, I will chain to your card's effect. I activate Chaos Infinity." Tamra said, as one of her three cards flipped up. "This switches every monster I control to Attack mode, then allows me to Special Summon a Machine Imperial monster from my deck. And so comes the third creature of the Machine Emperor's army, Machine Imperial Skiel Ein." Tamra said, as all her monsters took an offensive position, then were joined by a smaller version of Skiel. (Skiel's ATK: 2200) (Skiel Ein's ATK: 2000) (Wisel Ein's ATK: 2200) (Grannel Ein's ATK: 2000) (Asterisk's ATK: 8400) "Now, because a card cannot activate mid-chain, my monsters are safe from your other card, at least, until after it's gone." Tamra said, as all the other Spells and Traps vanished. "Now then, would you really like to attack? Asterisk's effect makes him the only target, and he has plenty of power. If you wait for my next turn, then I can absorb your Synchro monster, leaving you open for an attack from Skiel, finishing this duel." Tamer explained to Jackson. "These are the only options you have."

[Chaos Number: Card Master]

"Yes I would like to attack because of my field spells effect, no damage can be done to me while the field spell is on the field," said Jackson victoriously. "So now sorcerer attack astersik," screamed Jackson. The Sorcerer charged up to the beast. He knew that this was make or break for him, though she had no cards in her spell and trap card zone so it was pretty likely. "Now when my sorcerer battle's a monster if it loses that monster is destroyed," said Jackson begging that this would work because if it did he was back in this.

[.:Sonaria:.]

"Very well then. I'll wipe away that pathetic Synchro Monster... Asterisk, dispose of it." Tamra ordered. Asterisk fired off a beam at the synhro, causing both of them to explode. "Either way, I'll destroy you in my next turn..." Tamra said. "Even though my Asterisk is gone, I still possess my three Eins, as well as Skiel. You control no monsters, making your Field Spell useless to you now. All I would need to do now, come my next turn, is attack with Skiel, and I'll finally be able to quiet you down..." Tamra said. "Now then... Please, end your turn, so that I may finish mine."

[Chaos Number: Card Master]

"Don't worry I have plans to beat you," said Jackson. He knew that with his two face down cards he could easily win this. Her ace card was gone. Jackson knew that only the cards that were on the field stood between him and victory. Now all he could do was wait and hope for the best. "I End my turn," said Jackosn running strategy's through his head. He knew that he could insure victory soon. All he need was time. He needed alot more time. "Your move," he said as he stared into his opponents eyes. This turn would either make or break him.

[.:Sonaria:.]

"My turn, draw." Tamra stated, drawing her card, and giving her a total of 8 cards. "Your last move, giving my eight cards now... That was foolish of you. But, you're in for a very special treat. You'll witness the last of the Machine Enperors, though it will be the last thing you see here..." Tamra said. "But first, I tribute my Machine Emperor Skiel to Advance Summon Klyce once more." Tamra said, as the light monarch appeared once more. "I will destroy your field spell, so you draw a card." Tamra continued. "And now that my attacks have been released, I will show you something very special." Tamra said. "By sending my Machine Emperor Wisel, Machine Emperor Grannel, and Machine Emperor Skiel from my hand to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon the god of Machine Emperors..." Tamra said, as a large, platinum colored robot appeared. It had 3 green neutron-like lights within the outer shoulder indentations and in the lower-center indentation. In the middle of the chest indentation was a slightly larger, red neutron-type light. "This is the Machine Divine Emperor Machinicle Infinity Cubic." Tamara finished. (ATK: 4000) "And now... Cubic, end this duel. Witness your end, boy. The Cube of Dispair." Tamra ordered. Cubic aimed the gun attatchment on its arm at Jackson, and fired.

[Techi☺]

The ground below him was cold and hard. His back was aching and his whole body was cold. He looked up to the sky as his eye lids drooped open. The sun hurt his eyes more than usual, like he's never seen light before. He covered his eyes with his right hand to find it gloved by different material. He popped a eye brow and sat up to look down at himself. He found himself in a woman's body in some kind of witch's clothes. Long white/grey hair flowed from his head. To his right sat a wooden staff. "Oh dear lord, what kind of game are we playing today?" Hiro asked in a rather lady-like voice.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

[color=#800080]"You lost, that's what."[/color] A familiar voice answered. V appeared before the woman, which caused her to remember what had happened.

[i]Even though Hiro was off to a good start, V had somehow used her Spell Counter combos to wipe out everything he summoned. It wasn't until her Arcanite Magician attacked him did something strange happen. He felt a pressure on his chest and a constricting feeling around his waist as two fleshy orbs ballooned out of his chest underneath his shirt while his waistline shrunk. His arms became dainty and slender while his butt became heart-shaped and feminine.
"What...What's have you done?!?" "He" cried out in a feminine soprano.
[color=#800080]"I told you this Shadow Game would be interesting. The lower our Life Points go, the more we become like the monsters we selected for the other. I chose Dark Witch Girl, and since you just lost about half of your Life Points, you are almost completely female, plus your blue hair is lightening up. If you manage to decrease my Life Points, I will change as well."[/color]
"And what will happen if we reach 0?"
[color=#800080]"You will permanently become the selected Duel Monster, in body, mind, and soul. Already, you are thinking like the Dark Witch Girl, are you not?"[/color]
It was true. He did feel newfound energy coursing through him. He partially wanted to cast spells and make potions! He kinda wanted to seduce men, only to turn them into the pigs they truly were! He even had a few thoughts about kneeling to this master sorceress and pledging his loyalty to her, becoming her apprentice and learning more of the dark arts! However, he quickly drove those thoughts from his head.
[color=#800080]"Don't worry. Being a Duel Monster Spirit will be a blessing. You won't have to worry about anything anymore, because you won't exist. Hiro Shizuka will be gone, and Hiroko, the Dark Witch Girl, will be in his place. I bet you will take pity on your past self, wishing he could have enjoyed what you will be feeling."[/color] She grinned. [color=#800080]"Maybe, just maybe, you will erase your own memories of being a normal human man, wanting to start your life anew as my lovely apprentice."[/color]
Hiro gritted his teeth, or was it her teeth? He didn't know anymore. He just resolved to finish the duel. "Fine, then! Enjoy being my slave, you witch! My move! Draw!"
However, Hiro only managed to get 3 more turns. V decided to play with him, like a cat toying with a captured mouse. She whittled his Life Points down by by bit, until he finally broke down, letting her finish him, now her, off. But as the last measure of her Life Points dropped, as Hiro the Twilight Invader started to disappear from Hiroko's mind, she managed to use all of her strength to murmur "I wish I could have been forgiven..." before falling into the abyss of nonexistence...[/i]

[color=#800080]"At that moment, I saw a spark of hope. I realized that, even though you had killed, you wanted forgiveness, so I salvaged you, Hiro, and have decided to teach you a lesson or two. If you not only serve me well, but find some way to teach me something, then I will restore you to your normal human self. But for now, you are my Duel Monster Spirit, and you will be known as 'Hiroko'. You must earn your humanity, and your old name, back. Do I make myself clear?"[/color]

[Techi☺]

[color="#FF0000"]"Hiro....ko?"[/color] The voice was awkward and strange. [color="#000080"][b]"A Chance to redeem myself, huh? Sounds tasking and difficult... but I must."[/b][/color] The voice inside Hiroko's head was still Hiro's but everything else was so different. She leaned forward to her hands and set out her knees, then slowly got up to dust herself off. [color="#FF0000"]"So... lets get this straight here, I am stuck being this rather elegant looking duel monster till I learn my lesson and repay you? Sounds fun, I can't exactly return to the job like this either. The school won't except me as a student."[/color] The voice coming out of Hiroko's throat had still been a little strange, but she handled it in a more normal way.

[Dementuo]

"I've taken care of that for you." Saveedro said to the person now known as Hiroko. "I hope you still remember me. Otherwise, we'll have a lot of talking to do." Saveedro said darkly. "I saw your duel, and I assumed something like this would happen. So, I had you removed from the student list." Saveedro continued. "You should be thanking me. I don't usually do something this nice for people like you." Saveedro stated. He turned towards V. "If I were you, I'd keep a very close eye Ron what's behind you." Saveedro said, a red aura now emanating from him. "Where ever you go... Remember one thing. The doors you open... Don't close behind you." Saveedro said, stepping back into a portal that appeared behind him. It then closed seconds later.

-MEANWHILE-

"Alright, Caden. Let's go." Raize said, moving off towards the Academy. "Now then... An alternitave for the Accel Synchro... I wonder if such a card exists?" Raize thought.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

V just laughed as Saveedro explained. [color=#800080]"He caught me altering the records, but when I explained the situation, he agreed to help me, but he was slightly off. You weren't just removed. You were replaced."[/color] V concentrated, and shadowy tendrils started to creep up around her, encasing her in a cocoon of the stuff. After several seconds, the tentacles retracted, revealing a young woman with black hair and pale skin wearing a girl's Obelisk Blue uniform. She opened her eyes, revealing them to be normal, though they still had purple irises. [color=#800080]"For now, 'Hiro Shizuka' no longer exists, but I, Shouri Shizuka, do."[/color] "Shouri" grinned. [color=#800080]"I have placed several brainwashing charms and enchantments in our room and around us which, in conjunction, will modify the memories of anyone we encounter to replace you with me. However, there is at least one person that I know of, Endymion Spring, who will be able to see through the charms I have placed around us and see us for who we truly are, but he is an ally, and I am certain he will not tell us. Also, know that anyone with a strong enough will might be able to resist the memory alteration charms, and anyone who can see a Duel Monster Spirit will see you, but other than those conditions, we should be safe."[/color]

[Zextra]

"I'll need something like that too..." Caden thought, following Raize. "After all, we're not guaranteed the Accel Synchro for every duel here..." he continued. "But as of now, I only have one way to do it...and I can't reveal it yet..." he muttered as he made his way to the harbor yet again. He opened his deck case, pulling out the first few cards. "Now, subtracting the Accel Synchro and [i]it[/i], I have no alternatives..." he thought, placing two cards: a blank card and a card which looked like its surface was encased in crystal. "Now, out of the rest of my Synchros, I still have this..." he took out Black Rose Dragon, the card Raize had given him many years ago.

[Techi☺]

[color="#FF0000"]"Hoooooooold up lady! You did all of that... to teach me, a random person who murdered a person for a cause he doesn't believe in, a lesson? You are either a mad-genious or a fool to think this scheme might work. Though I guess it couldn't hurt much... I would rather not be a spirit for the rest of my life... or wear this skirt..."[/color] Hiroko's voice came out in a ramble that all seemed perfectly normal once it left her lips. [color="#000080"]"Never exactly snapped like that before..."[/color] Hiro's dark and edgy voice from inside Hiroko's head was refreshing. Hiroko walked over to pick up the staff. [color="#FF0000"]"Oh, and I really hope that you don't think that I won't hit on you because I'm a girl now. The best part is, you might never know if I'm just playing around, or mean it either."[/color]

[Deathcore]

Hunter gave up his little walk and leaned against a tree. He took out his two ace cards, Absolute Zero and Thunderfist. He still remembered the day he got this deck for his birthday and these two easily became his favorites out of the whole deck. [i]Good times....[/i] He thought. He sighed and looked up at the clouds, attempting to find any shapes he recognized. He quickly gave up on that and looked around. [i]Deserted, that's odd,[/i] he thought. Hunter shrugged and decided to get more exercise, starting off running.

[StealthyTyranitar]

(OOC: Is it OK if I can see duel spirits?)

As Jennifer came to, she got a mouthfull of water [i]How the hack did I get here? I was asleep in the forest. [/i]Jen looked up, and saw Dummy Golem looming over her. " What? I've never been able to see Duel Spirits before!" Jen said. The Duel Spirit dissapeared after leaving one message permanently seared in her mind "Beware of my bretheren." [i]What's that supposed to mean? [/i]Thought Jen. Now she was scared. She got up, and ran into the Obelisk Blue dorm. She was exhausted, and passed out onto the bed (Not literetally) [color="#0000ff"]Enter Dream
[/color]
"She needs to have balance." "No, she needs to be good." "Bad." "Good." She had no idea who was talking. She heard voices, and that was it.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

V chuckled as she headed back to the Obelisk Blue Dorm. [color=#800080]"Hiroko, my dear, I am older than the great-grandmother of your great-grandmother's great-grandmother, yet I will not be born for several years."[/color]

Desna trudged up to Saveedro, who was in their secret base. [color=#FFA500]"Sa-VEE-dro!!!"[/color] The badass groaned, his body caked in mud, dust, dirt, and grime. [color=#FFA500]"I found a Reverse Lord, but it's protected by a really strong force field! I tried everything I could think of! I chucked some grenades at it, fired a few rockets from different angles, used several...dozen...bricks of C4, and fired my new THEL cannon! You said I couldn't use my tactical nukes, my antimatter warheads, or my linear gun, so what am I supposed to do now?!?"[/color]

[Dementuo]

Saveedro turned to look at Densa walking up to him. Saveedro sighed. "What makes you think I would know?" Saveedro said. "Well, maybe I DO know... But you have to earn the right to hold one of those things." Saveedro continued. He paused for a moment. "If he found a Reerse Lord, then getting back into Narayan might be easier than I first thought..." Saveedro thought. "But he's not going to leave me alone about this... If so, then..." Saveedro thought. "Alright... I'll tell you how, if you can beat me. Show me that you're worthy of holding is Reverse Lord. Duel me, right now." Saveedro said, preparing his Duel Disk.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Desna grinned and pressed the button to activate his Duel Device, but it refused to come on. He groaned in frustration, until he smelled something terrible. He looked down at himself, realized that he probably reeked, and sighed. [color=#FFA500]"Do you have a place where I can get a shower and a spare Duel Disk?"[/color]

V entered the men's dorm, the memory charm already working. The boy at the front desk protested, but then a strange blank expression washed over his face for a few seconds before he smiled and waved at V, calling her "Shorui" and wishing her a pleasant evening. Another young man encountered V and was about to go inform the RA before he stopped for a few seconds and went about his business, waving to V. The duo eventually reached Hiroko's room, which was now V's room, and was no longer the same size has Hiroko's room.
They had stepped into a huge hall that looked like the inside of a Gothic cathedral, with flying buttresses that might have had creatures flitting about in the darkness above them. Their path was lit by overhanging chandeliers and torches on the columns, but there was a sneaking feeling like hungry, predatory eyes were watching the duo from the shadows. [color=#800080]"This is my home. It exists outside of space and time. Don't worry. Your room is perfectly fine. There are now two portals in your doorway. One, which connects the hallway your room was previously connected to to this place, and another that connects this place to your dorm room. It's like redirecting a dam. The water still flows where it needs to go, but it just takes a different path."[/color] She then glanced into the shadows. [color=#800080]"Don't worry about them. They are just one of the many things that can happen to those who cross me."[/color]

[Dementuo]

"We're on an island. How do you think you'll get that filth off you?" Saveedro said sarcastically. "Just go jump in the ocean. Don't drown, though. I still need you alive. I can't keep all the Reverse Lords myself." Saveedro said "Now hurry up. I have other things to do."

-MEANWHILE-

Raize looked over at Caden, then back towards where he was walking. "If we're going to find alternatives, then We've got to find our enemies and fight them. That's how dad got his ace monsters, right? Back when he was still young... What were they again? Ah, I don't remember. I don't even think he ever told us." Raize said. "Still, if we fight now, then the situation will arise for us to figure out our alternative ways of fighting." Raize said. "But we should also take this time now." Raize finished.

[Zextra]

"Well...I have alternatives, but I don't think they'll be enough" Caden explained to Raize, throwing him Black Rose Dragon, which Raize had given to him years earlier. "And remember, as of right now, my Accel Synchro is yours, along with both the Crepuscule Dragons...If I'm going to search for an alternative, it's going to have to be without them" Caden said.

"Raize...there's one other thing I'm worried about...those Reverse Duels - they damage your bodies when you lose Life Points - we can't go and recklessly charge into one of them. That man, Hiro, spared us, for one reason or another, but I don't think we can expect that from all of the Twilight Invaders..." Caden said.

[Chaos Number: Card Master]

(OCC: Hey could you tell me what cards you have on the field Sonaria)

From my Graveyard and activate it, so return "I activate my Trap, A Saving Flame, This card allows me to summon one Legendary Flame monster from my hand, Rise Legendary Flame - The Holding Flame," said Jackson. "Now I no that that won't do much by itself so I activate my other Trap The Return of Flame Spell, This card allows me to return one field spell from my graveyard and activate it so return The Fortress of Fire," said Jackson as the field spell returned. "Now my monster can't be destroyed on the turn that it is summoned so now, your move," he stared straight at his opponent.

Hiroko carried on with the whole scene like it was normal to go throw portals, because for the old her, it was. She looked around and nearly ignored most of the things V said as Hiroko searched drastically for something to do. She stooped and stood straight, turning back to v. [color="#FF0000"]"How exactly am I going to find anything to do here? I need something to do you nitt-witt! I'm like a worker bee, perfectly fine working humbly as long as it's doing something. Put it in a box and it goes crazy. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?"[/color] Hiroko asked loudly, her body began to feel normal over the day. But, when she yelled like that, she wanted her old body back.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

V stopped, snapped her fingers, and several women emerged from the surrounding shadows. They were all dressed in maid outfits, except they had various colored Dark Signer lines and tattoos, as well as black sclera.
[color=#800080]"Take our guest to the spa, and once she is relaxed and refreshed, take her to the Nightmare Room."[/color]
The Dark Signer maids bowed as V went about her business, and their leader, a Caucasian redhead with green eyes and red lines on her outfit, came up to Hiroko and briefly bowed to her.
[color=#FF2400]"Greetings, Miss Hiroko."[/color] She spoke with a slight Irish accent. [color=#FF2400]"I am Gwendolyn Siobhan, majordoma of Mistress's castle. Would you like to take a tour before your appointment at our spa?"[/color]

Desna came back in soaking wet. [color=#FFA500]"Alright, Boss! Show me what you're made of!"[/color]
