A/N: I know I said I wouldn't update this week or next week but I wanted you to at least have this chapter to read. My birthday is this Thursday...I'm excited.

Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked; for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number; for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.

-Aristotle

You had to run, but there was nowhere to go. Lies, they weren't speaking the truth. Words of denial and harm poured out of their mouths. You didn't know where you were, the world had turned to an onyx abyss. The hands of time betrayed your every thought. You had to free them from their inner demons. Their eyes were full of hatred, disgust and lacked the life of a real human. A possessed voice spoke in place of Yusei Fudo's, "Poor little wench! You can't accept the fact that we are the true leaders of this world!" The voice after him was nothing but pure hatred, "Your lover will never care for you like he did when he was a pathetic soul of light, he is now where he truly belongs: with the shadow spirits!" The Jack Atlas you saw gave you a sinister smile and began to cackle in amusement. "Leave my friends out of this, Veiyan!" The male spirit smirks, "Sorry little wench, that will never be possible. Your friends can't hear you!" You saw Red Dragon Archfiend and heard Jack's voice, "Go Red Dragon Archfiend!" You braced yourself—

You bolted up, body sweating from the nightmare. "Are you alright?" "Dark Magician. Everyone." You shake your head, tears forming, "No I'm not. Jack, everyone they...they turned against me. Red Dragon Archfiend was about to attack me." "Milady your arm." Your mark was glowing, "Did...did it glow when I was having that nightmare?" Dark Magician replied, "Yes Lady Y/N, it was. This is rather concerning, is it not?" Dark Magician Girl rolled her eyes, "He means that your mark glowing means that something bad is about to happen." She adds, "You are so overly serious sometimes!" Dark Magician objects, "I am not!" Magician's Valkyria came between the both of them, "That's enough you two! Especially you Dark Magician Girl...honestly." You felt something sit on your head and Valkyria sighs, "Is that supposed to make her feel better, Sunny Pixie?" You smiled slightly, "Thank you guys, really. This entire thing...I'm just so scared about what's going to happen now." You exhale, "I don't know what to say or do. Ever since I saw that card yesterday, I've been an emotional train wreck." You add, "Does this means that everyone else can feel it too?" Valkyria replied, "Probably so, Y/N."

Meanwhile at the warehouse, Yusei and the others flinched at the sudden pain they all felt. Crow asked, "Hey Yusei, is your mark glowing too?" Yusei nodded, "This means that something bad is about to happen."

When or what was going to happen? You weren't sure if everyone else got the message as well as the enemy had given the message itself. "Y/N, you have to make sure that they haven't reached your friends yet. If they did, it could spell disaster for everyone. If all the dragons are summoned, their combined power could wipe out all of New Domino City." You reply, "I can't just go over to the warehouse and expect everyone to be there now. They're probably scattered throughout the city and it would be impossible to tell them all in such a short amount of time." Dark Magician Girl and Amores let out a heaving sigh. You ask, "What's wrong you two?" Amores answers, "Y/N I get what Crystal meant now." You became confused, "About what? I don't follow what you're saying, Amores." Amores clarified, "That black stuff on that card and that stench. It smells a lot like gasoline and lighter fluid." "Gasoline I can understand, but not lighter fluid." Amores nods in agreement, "The lighter fluid part confuses me too. Who would use something like that on a card or something?" Dark Magician Girl responds, "I don't think that it was only used on that card, Amores. It was probably used on something else as well, like for an explosion." You were even more puzzled. What would they want to blow up?
