Zargon's water chains broke and Keiza fell to the ground, knowing that she did her best. The evil man glared at Lizzy and William and said,

"You two are not fit to remain in the work of magic. Begone!" He used his shadow magic and extensive power from his fusion with a Duel Monster to suck all of Lizzy and William's magic energy, and absorbed it into himself. The two screamed and collapsed, now unconscious from the loss of power.

"Will! Lizzy!" Aaliyah yelled in horror. "What did you do to them?!"

"I simply removed any trace of magic in their bodies," Zargon explained quickly. "With their power, I can take Yuina by force." His hands turned into pure magic embodiments, a yellow hue on his right hand and a blue one on his left. "So, do you think you can stand against me now?! I hardly think you can!"

"Then how about a duel to settle this?" Yusei said furiously, standing to his feet. "We'll take you on!"

"I'm sorry, did I just hear 'we'?"

"Oh yes, he did!" Crow exclaimed, activating his duel disk. "You're not getting away with this so easily!" Jack and Yusei got their disks activated too and Zargon laughed, summoning his duel disk with magic.

"Fine!" he yelled. "Let's play this little game! It will be a great pleasure to bet you three before heading to the island."

"Go get him, guys!" Leo exclaimed.

"Beat him hard!" Ryan shouted with clutched fists. Yusei, Crow, and Jack nodded and began their duel with Zargon.

***************************

Lizzy and William groaned loudly and opened their eyes, not recognizing their surroundings..

"Now that's the last time I tell any bad guy I have powers," William said, rubbing the back of his head. "That really hurt!"

"But where are we?" Lizzy asked. She stood up and saw her ace monster, Arista, standing before her.

"You are in the Duel monster spirit world," Arista explained. "I was able to grab you before Zargon sucked away your magic completely."

"So we're alive, yay! But why are we here?"

"You are here to learn the truth of Zargon."

"Yes, I knew something was up with him!" William said proudly.

"Yes," Arista said. "Your Horned White Beast has been investigating ever since your duel, William."

"Cool! Wait, my Horned White Beast?!"

"Why, yes. Speaking of which.." Arista turned to the deer-like Duel Monster with golden horns and tail with different weapons on it. William and Lizzy stared in awe of the creature and it chuckled.

"I am surprised that you two do not faint at the sight of me talking," the creature said. "But that does not matter. What matters now is the man your friends are dueling at this moment. That man seeks revenge."

"Revenge on Yuina?" Lizzy guessed. "But what did we do?"

"When the people abandoned Wasure, Zargon wasn't alone," Arista explained. "He had a young son by his side. Zargon loved the boy dearly, so much that he let the boy go out to sea on a little boat and come back. But one day, the little boy didn't come back to Wasure, and Zargon assumed that his child went to Yuina instead of living with him. So now his hate has consumes him and he wishes to take it out on you and the people of Yuina."

"What happened to the kid?" William asked.

"The child got caught in a storm coming back to Wasure," the Horned White Beast said. "He died out at sea."

"Oh man...is there a way that we can tell Zargon of this?"

"We can try but he will not listen. His mind and reasoning is beyond our reach now since his hate for Yuina began many years ago. The one thing he can do is defeat him in a duel and seal him away."

"Seal him away?" Lizzy repeated. "As in a magic seal of some sort?"

"Yes," Arista answered with a nod. "But it must be with the Zargon chose to fuse with. Our poor friend is in need of rest and justice."

"Tragoedia did not want to fuse with its master but it had no choice in the matter," the deer-like creature added. "All it wants now is peace from a fight that it has been a part of for a long time. Could you do that for us, you two?"

"Yeah!" William and Lizzy said in unison.

"Perfect!" Arista smiled. She suddenly held her head in pain and fell to the floor, groaning as she did so. "It seems your friends are in a bit of a bind," she said. "Zargon must have done something!"

"How do you know that?" William asked curiously.

"Arista can sense what goes on in the outside world," the White Horned Beast explained. "If something drastic has happened, she will receive that signal in her mind, causing what you people call a headache."

"We have to go do something!"

"I'm afraid you cannot leave this place until your magic has recovered completely. That is another reason why you were brought here."

"But what can we do?!" Lizzy exclaimed desperately, helping her ace monster off the ground. "We have to do something!"

"I agree," Arista said, recovering from her headache. "There is one thing you can do while you are in the spirit world."

"What's that?"

"You have to believe, believe with all your might that your friends can defeat Zargon. That way, your light can bring forth the courage they need to win the battle!"

"That sounds a bit corny but I'm gonna give it a try," William admitted. Lizzy nodded and closed her eyes, wanting to concentrate to see if her encouragement can reach her friends.

"Come on, guys!" she thought. "You can't give up yet. You have to defeat Zargon. Please, I can't lose any of my friends...not again!"

"You can do it, guys!" William thought loudly, although he didn't close his eyes. "We're right beside you, in fact everyone is! We all have faith in you!" As they pondered, a bright light surrounded Arista and the White Horned Beast, almost blinding William and making him shut his eyes fast. The light grew stronger as the two magician's thoughts were sent to the outside world.

"It is working!" Arista exclaimed, looking at her glowing figure. "Keep going, William and Lizzy." The two magicians did, until the glowing light ceased to exist and the two Duel monsters didn't shine. William and Lizzy opened their eyes and looked around.

"You have done your part," Arista said with a smile. "Zargon is now defeated."

"I really feel like I didn't do anything though," Lizzy said with a sigh.

"Although you were not there for the battle itself Mistress, what you and William offered to them was of great importance. Always remember that, you two. Now I must send you back swiftly to quickly seal Zargon. Good luck!"

***************************************

"I.....can't lose....." Zargon said weakly, falling to his knees. His duel disk disappeared in an instant as he stared at the ground. "I must......get my vengeance!"

"You won't be getting it any time soon," Yusei said. "Now release our friends!"

"I'm afraid I can't. I only have their powers..it doesn't mean you'll get them back."

"You jerk!" Crow yelled, clutching his fists. "Let our friends go!" Zargon merely laughed softly, not answering. Suddenly, Lizzy and William woke up and stood to their feet.

"What did we miss?" William asked everyone. "Did something important happen?"

"Well we were worried about you two," Jack answered, sighing in relief.

"Aww, you all were worried!" Lizzy said. "That makes me happy!"

"Lizzy, we have work to do," William mentioned. "Focus!"

"Right, sorry!" The two magicians faced Zargon and summoned their magic, surrounding the evil man with it. A sealing symbol appeared in the middle of the magic-made circle and Zargon began to scream. Lizzy and William remained placid and the former created a Duel Monster card from her magic. "Your monster has been waiting for you," Lizzy announced. "Now meet your fate with the one you have fused with!" She threw the card towards the man and everything disappeared in a flash, except for the card on the ground. The entire group went over to where the card was and one of them picked it up, revealing Zargon in the tiny frame.

"Wow, that was something," James said.

"It's what happens when a person fuses with a badly treated monster," William concluded. "Zargon didn't know the consequences of that."

"Now let's go inside before anything else happens. I think we've had enough adventure for a few days."

"But before that," Yusei began, "I think the three of us need to tell you something important."

"We do?" Crow questioned.

"Yes, we do."

"What is it?" Keiza asked the three. Yusei took a deep breath and began to elaborate on how he remembers the incident that occurred a few months ago, letting Jack and Crow remember as well and agree with him.

All right, thanks for reading this chapter!

I hope to see you for the final chapter of this book (for some reason I called it an epilogue. Forgot why I did that. XD).
