Read and review. Or don't. I don't care-.-

Carly was taking pictures when she spotted her old younger friend, Mandy Kuso, standing next to the new champion, Yusei Fudo. She smiled and waved urgently.

"Mandy!"

Mandy turned around and smiled in excitement. "Carly!"

Carly ran towards the teen to hug her. "Oh, it's been so long! Look at how much you've grown!"

"Yeah, I've changed a little bit."

Carly pointed her camera to them. "I'm in Domino Stadium in Domino City, of course it's obvious that it's in Domino City, with young Mandy Kuso, the only daughter of the late Queen of Games, Chloe Kitsune!"

Mandy turned to Yusei and walked over to him as the paramedics came for Jack.

"Is he gonna be ok?" Mandy asked in worry

"Don't worry, Mr. Atlas is gonna be fine. We just need to get him to the clinic to do an ME test. Oh, and congratulations, kid."

Mandy placed a hand on her heart as Yusei put his hand on her shoulder.

"Yusei!"

They both turned to see Tanner, Yanagi, and Leo running up to them.

"Hey, guys," Yusei said. "Everyone ok?"

"We're fine, but you're about to face a brand new enemy, Yusei!" Yanagi pointed to the camera crew and reporters. "The media!"

They broke down the gate that separated them.

"They're loose!" Leo shouted.

Yusei gasped in panic.

"Better rev it up," Tanner said, taking Yuseis runner.

"Coming!"

As they ran away, Mandy waved to Carly.

"Bye, Carly! I'll talk to you later!"

Carly watched with a dumbfounded expression as Mandy left with the others.

"Where are we?" Dexter asked.

"This is an abandoned Service Tunnel," Tanner answered.

"Cool," Alexa said. "Hey, Tanner, how'd you know this was down here?"

"A guy like me knows these things. That, and Blister told me."

"I have no idea what happened to you in that light," Yanagi said, "but I'm just glad that you won the tournament."

"I knew you could do it, Yusei!" Leo said excitedly. "You're like the best duelist I've ever seen! You're like my hero!"

"Forget the tournament," Tanner said. "The whole thing was set up on Goodwins part. Let's not forget the only reason why Yusei dueled was because he captured his friends. Until we figure out what the whole story is, we should lay low in Blisters hideout. Leo and Luna, you should probably come and stay with us, too."

"Are you serious!" Leo asked excitedly. "Awesome! It'll be like sleep away camping, only even better!"

Mandy and Yusei had on smiles, but the girl frowned, making Luna look at her in concern.

"What's wrong, Mandy?" she asked.

"I'm just thinking about what happened in that light," Mandy replied. "The image of my moms home just won't get out of my head."

Yusei looked at her. "You saw it?"

Mandy nodded. "Luna and Akiza were there, too. That was a vision of the future the Crimson Dragon just showed us. He told me that only the Signers and Eye Keeper can stop it."

Luna looked at her arm and grabbed it. "What is a Signer?"

"Allow me, Luna," Yanagi said. "I can tell you everything there is to know, but before I can explain what a Signer is, I'll have to give you some backstory by thrilling you with tales of my numerous archeological adventures around the world!"

"Um, okay?"

Yusei had smiled, but Mandy thought back to what they had seen.

"Yusei, that spider...," Mandy whispered.

Yusei grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. "I know, we've gotta figure out what it is before it's too late."

When they had gotten to Blisters place, Mandy began calling Carly as promised.

"I can't wait to talk to Carly again," Cayenne said. "We haven't seen her in like forever."

"Yeah, I wonder how she's been doing for the past few years," Alexa agreed.

"Only one way to find out," Mandy said.

"Carly Carmine speaking."

"Hey, Carls."

"Mandy? Where are you? I have something I've been meaning to ask you."

"Hold on, let me put you on video and connect it to the computer." Mandy switched her phone to video mode and conneted it to the computer, showing Carly's image.

"Oh, Alexa and Cayenne, I didn't see you guys at the arena!"

"What up sistah!" Alexa said, holding up her heavy metal sign.

"How ya doin'," Cayenne greeted, waving to the journalist.

"Now what did you want to ask me?" Mandy asked.

"Right, it's about that giant red dragon. When it came along, I saw your eyes glowing red. What happened to you, Mandy? And don't even think about dodging my question like Goodwin did when I asked about Yusei's glowing arm!"

Mandy bit her lip in nervousness, not really sure how to answer her older friend. "I'm still trying to figure it out, but I can tell you that it is connected to the dragon. And the whole Fortune Cup was a complete set up on Goodwins part. He wanted to see if my eyes could glow like that. Is that enough info for you?"

Carly smiled triumphantly. "Yes! That's enough information for the big scoop!"

Mandy smiled. "Before you leave, there's someone I want you to meet." Yusei came to her side. "Carly, meet Yusei Fudo. Yusei, this is my old friend, Carly Carmine. She's a journalist."

Carly blushed. "Oh, uh, well, I'm actually an intern."

"So what?" Alexa said. "You're a journalist to us."

"Hey, I've got another scoop that just might have your boss go nuts," Mandy said.

"Yeah, what is it?" Carly asked.

"You know how Jack Atlas is always pining for me to be his girlfriend?"

"Yeah, everyone knows that. What about it?"

"Well, Yusei and I..." Yusei wrapped his arm around Mandy's waist and pulled her closer to him with a smile. "We're together now. See?"

Carly's jaw dropped at the sight, the twins and girls smiled excitedly, while the other two men looked dumbfounded. Yusei kissed Mandy's temple as she kept on smiling.

Carly was silent until...

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!? THIS IS LIKE THE BIGGEST SCOOP EVER! PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE TALKING NONSTOP ABOUT THIS!"

Mandy laughed as Carly yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Oh, who am I kidding! My little Mandy's growing up too fast!"

"Aw, come on. Don't cry."

"I know, I know! I'm just so happy!" Sniff. "I've gotta go now. Bye, Mandy. Congratulations!"

"Bye, Carly!"

Mandy hung up her videophone and unplugged it from the computer before she was glomped by her two best friends, who were screaming in joy.

"I can't believe you have a boyfriend now!" Cayenne shouted.

"And it's not Jack Atlas, thank God!" Alexa remarked.

The twins soon came and hugged Mandy.

"This is awesome!" Leo shouted. "I might have Yusei as a brother-in-law!"

"Whoa! No need to go that far!" Mandy laughed.

Tanner nudged Yusei with a smirk. "You should've heard his little confession when he dueled Akiza."

Mandy looked at him in shock. "You what?"

Yusei blushed and scratched his head. "Yeah, I kinda confessed to the whole world that I was in love with you."

Mandy was silent before she smiled, walked up to him, got on her tip-toes, and kissed him, making his cheeks turn blood-shot red.

"Well, that was very sweet of you."

Alexa pulled out her phone. "Come on, Carly's not gonna just tell her boss that you told her about you guys. She needs evidence."

Mandy and Yusei smiled at each other before they kissed again and her friend took a photo before sending it to Carly.

After a few hours, Yanagi started drawing them something.

"Now bear in mind that I am not artist, and I only saw it the one time, but the dragon seal looked something like this."

Everyone leaned forward to see the picture of the dragon seal, and Yusei saw his mark.

"That's the dragons head."

"What is it? What about the head?" Leo asked.

He pulled up his sleeve to show everyone. "Look."

"That looks just like it." Leo turned to his sister. "Hey, Luna, let's see your mark."

Luna pulled up her sleeve to show the claw mark.

"So Luna's mark looks like the claw thingy. What's that mean?"

"According to legend," Yanagi began. "The Crimson Dragons head, wings, hands, legs, and tail were split into five parts. And then sealed away as marks on the original Signers. The marks were then passed down through the generations."

"But right now we only know about four Signers," Tanner stated. "So how is the Crimson Dragon summoned if only four of them are gathered?"

"I guess the fifth Signer must've been somewhere in that arena."

"So Luna's a Signer; Jack's a Signer; Akiza's a Signer; and Yusei's a Signer," Leo said. "So who's the other one?" He then began to check himself. "Maybe it's me! Maybe I have a mark somewhere!"

"What about Mandy's eyes?" Alexa asked. "When we first saw the dragon, it shot some rainbow beams at her and her eyes started glowing red."

"That's simple," Yanagi stated. "Mandy is known as the Crimson Eye Keeper. Legend says that the Eye Keeper is the most powerful Signer of all, and that only they can both see and commune with the Crimson Dragon."

"Is that passed down by the generations, too?" Cayenne asked.

"Not exactly. You see, you can only become the Keeper if the Crimson Dragon chooses you by the light in your heart, which is shown by seeing your innocence and purity."

"So that's why he gave me the Eyes," Mandy said.

"He must've seen that were innocent and pure. You and the dragon are connected by the heart, Mandy."

Mandy placed her hand on her heart. 'Connected by heart?' She started getting dizzy before falling into Yuseis arms.

"Mandy!"

"Are you okay!"

"What's wrong!"

"Nothing... I'm just tired is all..."

"Well, that's understandable," Tanner said. "We've all had a crazy couple of days. Let's try to get some rest."

Mandy looked up at Yusei, who nodded and kissed her temple.

"Try to get some sleep..."

Mandy nodded before walking off to a bedroom.

The evening had come, but Mandy hadn't gotten any rest at all. She was still thinking about the vision they saw, and how her mothers home was going to be destroyed if they didn't do something about it. She then saw a purple glowing light from the window and snuck out of her room to the front door. Her eyes glowed and she cringed as they burned, as if they were trying to warn her about a darkness that lurked behind the door, but she ignored it and grabbed the doorknob. Once she opened it, she saw a man in a dark cloak.

"Hi, can I help you?"

The man gave a sinister smile before he roughly grabbed her mouth in a death grip. Mandy became shocked before she started struggling to get out of the mans hold as he pulled her against him.

Yuseis mark glowed and he could sense Mandy's distress. He looked down the window and saw her in the arms of the dark cloaked man and gasped.

"Mandy!"

He then sprinted out as the man began to take her away. Mandy continued to struggle, but the grip on her mouth began to hurt her and she whimpered. Her eyes widened as she saw the mark of a spider glowing on his arm.

"Hey, stop!" Yusei called as he ran after them

Mandy screamed Yuseis name behind the mans hand, but he only gripped it tighter and she whimpered. They had turned a few corners until Yusei stopped to a tall parking lot.

"Where is he taking her?"

He ran again as he saw the man take Mandy up the parking lot. Once he stopped, he started looking around until the man came from behind with Mandy in his arms.

"Yusei!" she called. "He has the mark of the spider!"

Yusei turned and saw the glowing spider mark on the mans arm.

"Who are you, and what do you think you're doing with my girlfriend!" Yusei demanded.

"I am a Shadow Drone," the man replied. "If you want your precious Crimson Eye Keeper, then my master says you must duel me for her." He proved this by activating his duel disk.

"Why am I not surprised? Alright, buddy, you got yourself a duel!" Yusei agreed, activating his own duel disk.

"Let's do this!"

After this was said, a ring of purple fire appeared and the Shadow Drone released Mandy, only for some of the fire to form a hand and grabbed her to lift her in the air as she screamed in pain.

Yusei looked up in shock.

"I'm fine, Yusei, just duel him."

"Better do what she says, Signer."

Shadow Drone: 4000
Yusei: 4000

"Who are you and what's going on?" Yusei demanded.

"You and I have been offered up by the light, and placed inside the Energy Ring of the Eternal Shadow. I'm afraid there's no turning back now."

"What're you talking about!"

"You'll see. I summon Blizzard Lizard(DEF 1800) in defense mode! Next I place one card facedown and end my turn. You're move."

"Okay, mister cloak and dagger, I'm activating the Tuning spell card! With this spell I can add one tuner monster from my deck to my hand as long as I get rid of the number of cards as this monsters level, and since Junk Synchron is a level 3, I'm sending three cards from my deck to my graveyard. Next I summon Junk Synchron (ATK 1300) to the field in attack mode! But that's just the beginning. When Junk Synchron is successfully summoned, I can summon a level 2 monster from my graveyard. I summon Speed Warrior(DEF 400)! And now with both of them on the field, I can use Junk Synchron to give Speed Warrior a tune up." Speed Warrior and JUnk Synchron came together in a tune up. "Now, Junk Warrior(ATK 2300), let's rev it up!"

Junk Warrior did his signature punch as he appeared.

"Junk Warrior, give that Blizzard Lizard a warm Satellite welcome! Go, Scrap Fist!"

Junk Warrior made to attack when...

"Not so fast!" Blizzard Lizards tail began to spin and make snow circle around its backside.

Yusei became confused as Junk Warrior destroyed the monster, and a strong blizzard erupted.

"What's going on!?"

"Blizzard Lizards special ability is going on. When this card is destroyed in battle you get hit with 300 points of direct damage."

Yusei got on his knee as his life points lowered.

Shadow Drone: 4000
Yusei: 3700

'Didn't see that coming,' Yusei thought. 'Akiza uses a similar power when she duels, but this guy is different somehow.' Yusei looked at the ground as he noticed the damage that was done onto it. "What's going on? Did my attack create real damage? Is that what this energy ring is about? It makes battle damage real?"

The Shadow Drone laughed.

"Okay, I get it, chuckles. You're gonna be like that." Yusei ended his turn with two facedowns.

He looked up in shock as he heard the shrieks of his girlfriend being squeezed by the flaming hand.

"What're you doing to her!"

"Right, I forgot to mention. For every time you lose your life points, your pretty little girlfriend gets squeezed into submission. So I suggest you be careful, Yusei. The more you lose life points, the more painful it's gonna be for her."

Yusei glared at him.

"It's my move now. I draw! First I'm activating the Call of the Haunted trap card! This card lets me select one monster from my graveyard, and summon it into attack mode. So I'm bringing back Blizzard Lizard(ATK 600). With that done, I activate the Ice Mirror spell card from my hand."

Ice Mirror is a spell card that allows you to select a water attribute monster from your field and summon the same monster from your deck.

"So with the power of this card, I'm bringing out another Blizzard Lizard to the field in attack mode! And now I'll play this."

"Another Ice Mirror spell!?"

"That's right. And with it, I summon a third Blizzard Lizard!"

"Doesn't this guy know that three's a crowd?"

"How about if I release two of them in order to make some room for my level 8 Dark Tuner Catastrophe!"

"A dark tuner?"

(Scene skip. My frickin' computer messed me up. Gaddamnit X()

The Dark Tuner Catastrophe had created a negative level 5 dark synchro monster called Frozen Fitzgerald(ATK 2500).

"A dark synchro summon! How do I battle that!?"

The shadow drone laughed.

'I gotta figure out how to beat this shadow drone, or I'll never get Mandy back!'
