Real Yuma: "Number 96! I'll be back, and when that times comes I'll have help! Ow! My head, what's going on?!"

Real Dark Mist: "You may not be under my control now, but the serum I managed to implant into you will put you under my control. It's only a matter of time."

Real Yuma: "We'll see about that!"

Real Dark Mist: "Yes we will Yuma, yes we will."

When Yuma got away from Dark Mist he traveled to the alternate Astral and Dark Mist's world by using the same gateway they used to get home. When Yuma arrived he saw Astral and Dark Mist while they were taking their usual walk around the city, and ran up to them.

Real Yuma: "Please help me! Ow! My head!

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yuma, what's the matter?"

Real Yuma: "Please, help me Number 96! Ow! My head!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Tell me what's wrong Yuma, and what's wrong with your head?"

Real Yuma: "Number 96 took over my world! Ow my head!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Wait, are you saying you are from the Zexal World?"

Real Yuma: "I don't know what that means, ow, but yes! Will you and Astral please help me?! Ow! My head!

Alternate Astral: "What's wrong with your head Yuma?"

Real Yuma: "Number 96 implanted some kind of serum into my mind, and now my heard won't stop hurting."

Alternate Dark Mist: "The serum he implanted was control serum."

Real Yuma: "Ow! What's that?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "He's trying to control you!"

Real Yuma: "No! Is there a way to get the serum out?!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes. I can take the serum out, but you're going to have to let me in your mind."

Real Yuma: "Let you in my mind, you're crazy!"

Alternate Astral: "Yuma, if you don't let him in you'll be under your Dark Mist's control."

Real Yuma: "Fine, just do whatever you have to do to get the serum out! Ow my head! Please get the serum out!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "After I get the serum out you're going to be unconscious, do you understand Yuma?"

Real Yuma: "Yes I understand, now please get the serum out."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Let's take Yuma back to our house. It will be easyer for me to get the serum out there."

Alternate Astral: "Good idea Dark Mist."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yuma, let's go to our house so I can take the serum out."

Real Yuma: "Alright."

They walked until they reached the said house of Astral and Dark Mist

*At The Alternate Astral and Dark Mist's House*

Alternate Dark Mist: "Here I go Yuma, are you ready?"

Real Yuma: "Yes, I'm ready."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Here go's."

Dark Mist tapped into Yuma's mind to extract the control serum. When Dark Mist started to extract the serum from Yuma's mind, Yuma started to feel the pain dissipate, but he also started to lose consciousness.

Alternate Dark Mist: "There, it's done. Yuma's mind should be free of the control serum."

A few minutes later Yuma awoke from unconscious state.

Real Yuma: "What happened? Why do I feel so lightheaded?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "You feel lightheaded because I drain the serum from your mind."

Real Yuma: "Now I remember. Please, help me saved my world!"

Alternate Astral: "Don't worrier Yuma we'll help you save your world, right Dark Mist?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes, we will."

Real Yuma: "Thanks for draining the serum out of my mind."

Alternate Dark Mist: "You're welcome Yuma."

Real Yuma: "Now let's go save my world!"

Suddenly Yuma collapses, and was unconscious again.

Alternate Astral: "Yuma!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "He's alright. But his metal state is extremely weak. He can't go anywhere, not like this."

5 minutes later Yuma awoke again.

Real Yuma: "What, happened?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "You collapsed Yuma. Your metal state was extremely weak. How do you feel now?"

Real Yuma: "Tried, very tried."

Alternate Dark Mist: "That's means you're still a little weak."

Real Yuma: "I'll do whatever it takes to stop my Dark Mist."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright Yuma, just let me seem if your metal state has recovered enough."

Real Yuma: "Alright."

Dark Mist gazed into Yuma's mind and found his mind was starting to gain strength, but he was still to weak to go anywhere.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Your metal state has recovered, but your still to weak to go anywhere."

Alternate Astral: "So are we going to his world or does he still need time to recover?" (said while coming into the room Yuma and Dark Mist are in)

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yuma still needs time to recover."

Real Yuma: "Alright, it is ok if I rest here for awhile?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Are you ok with Yuma resting here Astral?"

Alternate Astral: "I'm fine with it. Stay as long as you like Yuma."

*In the World of Zexal*

*In The Key*

Real Dark Mist (thinking): "I wonder, where that little runt Yuma Tsukumo has run off to. Is he still in this world, or did he go to that other world that other me is from?"

Real Astral: "Is something troubling you, master?"

Real Dark Mist: "Yes there is something troubling me Astral."

Real Astral: "What would that be master, if you don't mind me asking?"

Real Dark Mist: "What's bothering me is where that pesky human brat Yuma Tsukumo has run off to." (said with anger and annoyance)

Real Astral: "I mean no disrespect master, but why are you concerned about Yuma? Yuma isn't strong enough stop you. And even if he was, he would just fail like he does what everything else."

Real Dark Mist: "You fool! You don't understand! If Yuma gets to the alternate versions of us, he'll have all the help he needs to stop me!" (said with anger and annoyance)

Real Astral: "But we don't even know if Yuma's even in that world."

Real Dark Mist: "I know, that's the problem. We'll just have to wait here until he shows himself again." (said with fear, anger and annoyance)

*Alternate World*

Yuma was fast asleep in Dark Mist's bed. Astral and Dark Mist were in the living room sitting on the couch watching tv, and talking about Yuma.

Alternate Astral: "Do you think Yuma is going to stay here, and let the real you destroy his world?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "No. He wouldn't leave his Astral behind, and he wouldn't let me destroy his world that easily."

Alternate Astral: "Oh yeah, his Astral isn't here. He must be under your real side's control."

2 hours had pass since the real Yuma from the Zexal World arrived.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Is Yuma up yet?"

Alternate Astral: "No I don't think so, but I'll go and check on him."

Astral went to Dark Mist's room where Yuma was sleeping, and found him still asleep. Astral returned to the living room.

Alternate Astral: "No, Yuma is still asleep."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright, we should wake him up soon. I'll give him another hour."

Alternate Astral: "Fine with me."

Another hour had passed, and Yuma woken up on his own.

Alternate Astral: "It's been about an hour, I'll go to check to see of Yuma's wake."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright."

Astral went to Dark Mist's room, and found Yuma awake.

Alternate Astral: "Are you feeling better Yuma?"

Real Yuma: "I'm feeling much better, thanks."

Alternate Astral: "No problem Yuma."

Astral led Yuma to the living room. Where Yuma found Dark Mist sitting on the couch reading a book.

Real Yuma: "I'm I strong enough to go back to my world now?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Seeing how you slept for 2 hours, I don't see why not."

Real Yuma: "I slept for 2 hours?!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "What's more important right now Yuma. Saving your world, or you wondering why you slept for 2 hours?"

Real Yuma: "You're right, saving my world is way more important right now."

Alternate Astral: "Are we ready to go Yuma's world?"

Dark Mist shuts the tv off

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes, we can go."

Real Yuma: "Let's go save my world!"

*In The World of Zexal*

Real Yuma: "Come on, we need to get into the key."

Alternate Astral and Dark Mist: "Right!"

*In The Emperor's Key*

Real Yuma: "I told you I would be back with help! And the serum is gone!"

Real Dark Mist: "No! You must of taken it out."

Alternate Dark Mist: "That's right. I will never let Yuma be under your control!"

Real Dark Mist: "How did you get Astral back to normal?!"

Alternate Astral: "I'm not your Astral, I'm his Astral. That's your Astral!"

As Double pointed to his Dark Mist then to his real side.

Real Astral: "Master?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "You won't get away with this! Now return Astral and the Numbers!"

Real Dark Mist: "Never! Astral and the Numbers are mine!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "I asked nicely. Yuma, Astral, grab him!"

Real Yuma & Alternate Astral: "Right!"

Yuma and Astral grabbed Dark Mist just as Trouble told them to.

Real Dark Mist: "Let go of me!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "I need to take the Numbers first."

Dark Mist put his hand on his real side's chest, to extract the Numbers from his body.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Give me the Numbers!"

Real Dark Mist: "Never, the Numbers are mine!"

After struggling against his real side, Trouble finally got all the of the Numbers.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Let him go."

Real Dark Mist: "I feel so weak, so very weak. (said as he held his chest) What did you do to me?" (said looking up at his alternate half)

Alternate Dark Mist: "I took the Numbers away from you."

Real Dark Mist: "No!"

Real Yuma: "Now Astral, seal him away!"

Alternate Astral: "Right!"

Real Dark Mist: "Oh no you don't. Astral, come and help your master!"

Alternate Astral: "Yuma hold him back!"

Real Yuma: "Right!"

Alternate Astral: "I'll seal you away so you can't cause any more trouble."

Alternate Dark Mist: "No, wait!"

Real Yuma: "What, why?!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral I want you to erase the abilities from my real side's memory before you seal him away."

Real Dark Mist: "No!"

Alternate Astral: "I can't mess with your memory! I refuse to hurt you!"

Real Astral: "Let me go!"

Real Yuma: "I can't do that Astral."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral do it! I don't care if my memory is affected. All I care about is getting this done so we can go home and spend time with our friends and family."

Alternate Astral: "No, I refuse to tap into your memory! I don't want to hurt you!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral do it right now! Please Astral, do it for me. I trust you. Now please, do it!"

Alternate Astral: "Fine."

Alternate Dark Mist (thinking): "It will finally be over."

Real Yuma: "No Astral, don't do it!"

Real Dark Mist: "Let go of me!"

Alternate Astral: "I must erase the abilities from your memory."

Astral enters the real Dark Mist's mind.

Real Dark Mist: "Get out of my mind!"

Alternate Astral: "I need to take those memories first."

Real Dark Mist: "No!"

Real Yuma: "Astral!"

Alternate Astral: "It's finally over."

When Astral was done erasing the abilities from the real Dark Mist's memory, he was left with a slight headache, and the real Dark Mist was left unconscious.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Thank you Astral."

Alternate Astral: "No thank you Dark Mist, for believing in me."

Real Yuma: "What did he do?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "He erased the abilities from my real side's memory."

Alternate Astral: "Now it's time to put my real side back to normal, and seal away Dark Mist. It's a good thing he's unconscious now. He won't fight back when I seal him away."

Astral held his hand out to reseal Number 96 inside his card, then seal the card in it's assigned pillar.

Alternate Astral: "That should keep him locked away."

Real Yuma: "Please Double, return Astral back to normal."

Alternate Astral: "Don't worry Yuma, I was planning on it."

Real Astral: "Let me go!"

Alternate Astral: "Hold him still Yuma, I'm going to enter his mind."

Real Yuma: "Right."

Astral entered his real side's mind to extract the control serum. After a couple of minutes Astral was done extracting the serum from his real side's mind. He was left with a headache, and his real side was left unconscious.

Alternate Astral: "Uh."

Real Yuma: "Astral, are you alright? Astral?"

Alternate Astral: "Yes, I'll be fine."

Real Yuma: "What happened to Astral?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Nothing, he'll be fine Yuma, trust me."

A minute or two later the real Astral wakes up.

Real Astral: "What, happened? I can't remember a single thing." (said while holding his head)

Real Yuma: "You were being controlled by Number 96, so I got Double and Trouble to help me get you back to normal and defeat him."

Real Astral: "Thank you for helping Yuma."

Alternate Dark Mist: "No need to thanks us, we were happy to help."

Astral notices that Double isn't feeling well

Real Astral: "Are you alright Double?"

Alternate Astral: "Yes. But I think the serum made my energy level drop to low." (said while holding his head)

Astral was right, the serum made his energy level drop dangerously low.

Alternate Astral: "I could fall unconscious at any minute." (said while holding his head)

Real Yuma: "You said you would be alright!"

Alternate Astral: "I can't hold on much longer. Dark Mist you need to take the serum out, before I fall unconscious." (said while holding his head)

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright, just hang in their Astral."

Real Yuma: "Number 96 are you going to be affected by the serum too?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "No, I shouldn't be. All I should have is a slight headache."

Real Yuma: "No, you shouldn't have anything! Not even a headache!"

Alternate Astral: "Dark Mist I can't hold on for much longer. Please get the serum out." (said while holding his head)

Real Astral: "I'll get the serum out of Double's mind."

Alternate Dark Mist: "No, you would only be put back under my real side's control. It has to be me."

Real Yuma: "Are you sure?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes, I am. Alright just hold still Astral."

Dark Mist tapped into Astral's mind to extract the serum that caused his energy level to drop. Not long after Dark Mist entered his Astral's mind, did he fine the serum.

Real Yuma: "Hey, it's orange liquid!"

Real Astral: "What is that?"

Real Yuma: "That's the serum Number 96 must of used to control you. He even tried to control me."

Real Astral: "He did?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Uh." (holding his head)

Real Yuma: "Are you alright Number 96?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes, I'll be fine. All of the serum that was in Astral's mind is gone, but I was to late to stop him from falling unconscious."

Real Yuma: "Is he going to be alright?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "He'll be fine Yuma. He just needs a little time to rest, that's all. He'll be up and having fun be for you know it."

Real Yuma: "Are you sure?"

Real Astral: "He's sure Yuma. Don't worry about Double, he'll be fine." (puts his hand on Yuma's shoulder)

Real Yuma: "I guess your right. So are you two going to go back to your world now?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "We can't, the serum took to much energy from me when I had to put it into my mind. I don't have enough energy to get us home."

Real Yuma: "That's alright. You two can stay with me until you have enough energy to go home."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Thank you, Yuma."

Real Yuma: "It's the lest I can do for helping me, and letting me rest in your world."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral should wake up in a few minutes."

Real Yuma: "Let's go to my room, he can rest their."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright, but how are you going to explain this to your friends and family?"

Real Yuma: "It'll be fine. Tori and Bronk will understand. But I won't tell grandma or Kari."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright."

Yuma, Astral, Double and Trouble left the key. When they got back to Yuma's room Double awaked.

Alternate Dark Mist: "How are you feeling Astral?"

Alternate Astral: "I feel much better now that the serum's out. Did we leave the Zexal World, or are we still here?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "We're still here."

Real Yuma: "Is Astral up yet?" (said from the attic)

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes he is, and where is your Astral."

Real Yuma: "He's in the key again, he wants to know how long Number 96's seal will last."

Alternate Dark Mist: "When he comes out, tell him not to go near the seal to much."

Real Yuma: "Why?"

Alternate Dark Mist: There is a slight possibility he could break free again."

Real Yuma: "No! I'll get Astral out of the key immediately!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright Yuma, but there is no reason to panic."

Real Yuma: "There isn't?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "No. It's only a 10% chance he could break free, and regain those memories. There really isn't any real reason to panic."

Real Yuma: "Ok, if you say so."

Yuma went back up into his attic to call his Astral out of the key.

Real Yuma: "Astral would you please come out of the key, I need to talk to you."

*In The Key*

Astral heard Yuma's voice echo though the key, and went to see what Yuma wanted.

Real Astral: "Is there something wrong, Yuma?"

Real Yuma: "No, but Dark Mist says not to go near the seal."

Real Astral: "Why?"

Real Yuma: "Because he says there's a 10% chance our Dark Mist could brake free, and regain those memories Double took from him and or go after you again. So please don't go near the seal Astral."

Real Astral: "Alright Yuma, I won't."

Real Yuma: "Thanks Astral."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yuma can I go into the key to see how long the seal will last?"

Real Yuma: "Sure Dark Mist, but please be careful."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Don't worry Yuma I will. You stay here and get some rest. I'll be back soon."

Alternate Astral: "Alright, just don't go stirring up trouble now, ok."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Aright Astral, now get some rest. I'll be back soon"

Alternate Astral: "Aright, be careful Dark Mist."

Alternate Dark Mist: "I will Astral. Now get some rest."

Real Astral: "Are you ready?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes."

Yuma held the key out to them, then they disappear into the world of the key.

*In The Key*

Alternate Dark Mist: "We need to go to the Number Wall."

Real Astral: "Are you sure?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes. I'll be able to senesce if the seal is strange, or if it's been weakened by anything."

*At The Number Wall*

Alternate Dark Mist: "Well, there's my pillar."

?: "And there you two are right on schedule!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "It can't be!"

Real Astral: "It is! Number 96!"

Real Dark Mist: "I'm back and ready to cause some mischief!"

Alternate Dark Mist: How are you here?!"

Real Dark Mist: "I'm here to put you two under my control, and as for your other question, I broke the seal. I felt it getting weaker and weaker by the minute."

Real Astral: "How do we get out of this Trouble?!"

Real Dark Mist: "You won't be getting out of this one Astral, and I'll make sure of that!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "How are you going to control us?"

Real Dark Mist: "It'll take me awhile, but I'll implant control serum into your minds."

Alternate Dark Mist: "How do you even know about control serum?!"

Real Dark Mist: "When your Astral erased the abilities from my memory, he only eared how I got them. He never erased what I did with them, that's how I still remember I have the ability to control you."

(A/N: When Double tapped into Dark Mist memory, he tapped into the part where Trouble gives him the vile, he drank it and obtains the information on the abilities he didn't have at the time. Double never erased what he did with the abilities)

Alternate Dark Mist: Astral, run. I'll take care of him."

Real Astral: "No, your not strong enough to handle him alone."

Alternate Dark Mist: "I don't care if he takes control of me. All I care about is keeping my Astral safe, and if something happens to you, something could to happen to him. Now get out of here!"

Real Dark Mist: "I'll make a deal with you. If you let me leave the key, I'll leave you alone. If not, I'll take over you."

Real Astral: "Do we have your word that you'll leave us alone?"

Real Dark Mist: "I'll make no such promises."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Let him leave, it will be saver for everyone."

Real Astral: "Alright, Number 96 you are allowed to leave, but keep your word about leaving us alone."

Real Dark Mist: "Very well."

Astral and Trouble left the key first, shortly after the real Dark Mist came out.

Real Yuma: "Number 96?!"

Real Dark Mist: "As we agreed you'll let me leave, and I'll leave you alone. But there is no real guaranty that I will truly be gone. I am still a threat to you, remember that."

As the Real Dark Mist was in the process of leaving. He felt the strong presence of someone he did not recognize, then he smiled and left.

Alternate Dark Mist (thinking): "No! He felt Astral's hidden power!"

Real Yuma: "What was Number 96 doing here?" (said sternly to Astral and Trouble)

Real Astral: "We let him go so you and Double would be safe."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to check up on Astral."

Dark Mist said while leaving Yuma's attic, and going to his bedroom. Dark Mist gently stroked Astral's cheek, hoping he would be safe. Shorty after the real Astral came down from the attic.

That's chapter 7, please review. Just to let everyone know, the secret between the alternates is going to be revealed in chapter 8. Here's the think about question, what is the secret that the alternates have that they there keeping from the real Yuma and Astral? fine out in chapter 8.
