Meanwhile, it was getting late, and Trickster and Ciel had arrived at the cave full of opals.

Trickster: Alright, Ciel. Everyone else has finished their tasks. Now it's your turn.

Ciel: What have you done with Angie and Stephanie?

Trickster: Don't worry about them. You'll meet them soon. Now, go on. Oh wait a minute.

He yanked the necklaces off from Ciel's neck, even his locket that Soleil gave him.

Ciel: Those are mine!

Trickster: You can't use them for this, I'm afraid.

Soleil: Don't worry about us, Ciel. Just go finish your task.

Ciel: Alright.

He went in the cave. A boulder came from behind him and blocked the exit.

Ciel: Okay, I have no necklaces to protect me, it's pitch black, and I'm all alone.

He suddenly heard a scream.

Ciel: Stephanie?

He started feeling the wall and walked towards the source of the scream. A few minutes later, he saw a room full of opals.

Ciel: Whoa.

???: Ciel! Is that you?

Ciel: Angie? Where are you?

Agitation: Up here!

Ciel looked up and saw his girlfriend and Stephanie in opal cages.

Ciel: Don't worry, Angie. I'll get you out.

Agitation: Look behind you!

Ciel looked behind him and saw his evil counterpart. He grabbed his good half.

Agitation: Let him go, you bully!

Evil Ciel: (in a normal voice) Why are you still with this weakling, Angie? You should be with me. I talk a lot louder than he does. And I don't have any fears at all.

Agitation: I love Ciel for who he is! I don't care if he whispers all the time, or if he has a lot of fears.

Evil Ciel: Suit yourself.

The evil version grabbed a dagger made out of opal and stabbed Ciel with it.

Silent Voice: No!

Agitation: We have to get out of here! Where's Soleil or the other ghosts when you need them?

Silent Voice: Wait. My necklace is glowing.

Her necklace fired a beam at the lock of her cage.

Silent Voice: I'll get you out too.

She aimed her necklace at the lock on Angie's cage. She was also free.

Agitation: Come on. We have to help Ciel.

She fired a beam from her emerald necklace. The evil Ciel got hit by it.

Evil Ciel: You don't know who you're dealing with. Here's your little task, 'Angie'.

Agitation: Wait a minute. I have a task, too?

Evil Ciel: Yes, you do. Trickster designed this task especially for you. All you have to do is answer a few personal questions about your boyfriend. If you get them right, you can leave. However, if you get even one wrong, it's all over for him.

Agitation: That's it? A little quiz about Ciel? This should be a piece of cake.

Silent Voice: Hope you know your boyfriend well enough.
