“You don’t have to keep staring at me like that,” Adrian said, leading Alexis down the corridor. “You can be upset with me all you want, but in the end, it doesn’t even matter. Chose to side with them for now, knowing that I could get the power I rightfully deserve. If I have to make a few sacrifices, then so be it.”
“You’re a monster,” Alexi s said back to him. “Juliana trusted you, and so did Alice.”
“Then that was their mistake. I never asked for their trust, so why should I bother caring?” Adrian didn’t care who he hurt or betrayed. All that mattered to him was power. “Besides, they said that they only wish to talk,” he said, leading Alexis out of the school into the desert where a giant stone dueling platform was.
“Talk?” Yeah right,” Alexis said, seeing a cluster of Duel Ghouls surrounding the platform as Adrian lead her up it, where the shy, timid boy Marcel was waiting for her.
“You brought the wrong one,” “She,” said, using Marcel’s body to observe Alexis.
“She’s Alice’s sister,” Adrian said to her. “She’s worth more to Alice than Juliana is.”
“Hmm, are you sure that you’re not keeping her away from me because she’s your friend~?” “She,” asked him.
“Believe what you want, but just so you know, she volunteered for this. Isn’t that what you wanted, someone to volunteer for this?” Adrian asked, hoping to be done with this already. He never signed up to be an errand boy.
“Who are you? What do you want with Alice?’ Alexis asked, refusing to stand around and do nothing.
“Me? Well, if I have to answer, let’s just say that I am a very old friend of Alice~,” “She” said to Alexis. “The name’s Yubel.”
“Yubel?” Alexis couldn’t help but feel like she had heard that name before
“Yes, that is my name, or at least was my name until Alice threw me away,” Yubel said to her.
“Threw you away? Alice would never do that to her friend!” Alexis yelled at them.
“She did, though,” Yubel said, walking closer to her. “I did everything in my power to protect her, and the people around her forced her to get rid of me. I suffered so much, endure more than my share of pain, and crawled my way back to be by her side. But when I finally got back to her, things had changed. Her changing into a girl I could easily accept, but she replaced me. She replaced me with all of you. The place in her heart that should solely belong to me was taken by all of you. You took what I valued most! I will never forgive you for taking her from me!” she yelled, tears rolling down Marcel’s face. “I will make you all suffer, and I will take her back!”
BOOM!
All of a sudden, the sky erupted into a giant rainbow as a small rift began to form, shooting a small metal pod out of it.
“Hmm, it would seem that they have finally started to make their move,” Yubel said, grabbing Alexis’ hand. “No matter. It’s too late for them to stop me from my plan now. And I do believe that I’ll need~.”
“Ahhh!!! What are you doing!?” Alexis yelled, feeling a creepy, sticking sensation start to encroach upon her body. Her left hand started to mutate like Macel’s while he soon turned back to normal.
“Shh~. This body belongs to me now~,” Yubel said to Alexis, forcing the poor girl’s mind to to take a back seat as she started to take control. “Since we both love Alice, there’s no problem in sharing a form now, is there?”
“….” Alexis couldn’t even respond, forced to watch as her body began to move under Yubel’s control.
“Good~. I knew that you would agree~,” Yubel said, happy to see that she was easier to take control of than Marcel. “Adrian, dispose of this and go someplace to hide. Alice and her little friend will be here shortly. We wouldn’t want them getting in the way no would we~?”
“I swear you better stop treating me like this or-”
“Or what?” Yubel said, cutting him off. “I gave you these powers to help you achieve your goals. It’s only fair that you help me out a bit~.”
“Fine, but this is the last time,” Adrian said, carrying Marcel off the platform, leaving Yubel to examine her new body.
“Stop that!” Alexis yelled at her, trying to regain control of her body to no avail.
“And why should I do that?” Yubel asked her, intrigued that Alexis’ mind was still awake while she was in control of her body. “We’re going to be together for quite some time~. Why shouldn’t I know the ins and outs of over body~?”
“Alice will come for me!” Alexis yelled at Yubel. “She'll free me from you!”
“Oh, I know she will~,” Yubel said back to her. “Your memories are showing me that. What a lovely bond the two of you share. If only it was me with her instead of you. No matter, soon Alice and I can play together again. It’ll just be us once I get rid of her pesky friends.”
“Yubel! You must know that Alice never meant to hurt you like you said she did,” Alexis said, trying to reason with Yubel, but it was no use.
“I don’t care,” Yubel said to her. “I want Alice to belong to me and me alone. Having you pest swarm around her pisses me off. Soon she will be mine.”
“You’re a monster!” Alexis yelled at her. “How could you even think of doing something so awful!?”
“You’re wrong. I’m not a mobster at all. Alice was the one that made me like this. She’s the true monster, always hurting those that she’s closest to. Though that only makes me love her even more~. Oh, and would you look at that, they’re here already~.” Yubel looked over to the other side of the dueling platform to see Juliana helping a limping Alice up the stairs. Her body was recovering fast, but it was still not back to normal just yet.
“Alexis! Are you alright!?” Alice yelled over to her sister. Jesse had managed to safely get the Rainbow Dragon card from the professor, and they decided to go after Adrian t save Alexis. Though neither of them were prepared for what had happened to Alexis.
“Alexis is fine,” Yubel said to them, happy to see that her beloved Alice was up and moving again. “She’s just taking a back seat~.”
“Wait, that arm! You’re the thing that was controlling Viper! Why are you doing this? Let Alexis go!” Alice couldn’t understand what this thing wanted from her. Everything was moving so fast.
“Can’t you tell Alice~. I’m doing this for you~. It’s always been for you~.” Yubel said to her, transforming her arm into a weird flesh demonic duel disk. “I’m going to force you to become mine, whether you want it or not~.”
“If it’s a duel you want, then it’s a duel you’ll get!” Alice yelled at her, making Juliana let go of her.
“Oh, my sweet foolish Alice, if you think that this is going to be a duel, then you truly do underestimate me,” Yubel said, eager to take away the bitch that stole Alice’s heart from her.
