The next time I open my eyes I'm in my mind, I look around for Dark who is no where to be seen. "If our life forces weren't connected I would strangle you right now!" Dark yells as he appears beside me. "It's good to see you to Dark." I smile at him.

"Hello Astral." a calm voice said getting our attention. We didn't see anything at first, but then Dark Mist walks out of the shadows. "Oh great, it's that wretched little Number." Dark said unhappy to see Dark Mist.

*3rd person POV*

Dark Mist sent a telepathic message to Black Mist to inject Blocking Agent 12 into Astral. 'Inject it into him now before he realizes what's going on.'

*Real World*

'You got it.' Black Mist replied with a smirk on his face, taking the needle out in full view. "What's that for?" Dumon questioned. "It's just a little something to get Astral to join us." Black Mist said to put Dumon's worries at ease. "This should help." he said quietly to himself as he injected Blocking Agent 12 into Astral's system.

*Astral's Mind*

*Astral's POV*

As I watch Dark's angry expression, I suddenly feel weak but I don't let it show that anything's affecting me. I looked back at Dark Mist, he's calm and collected. He doesn't seem worried, even with Dark being here. That's when I look back over to Dark, his form kept going in and out of my vision. One moment he is there and the next he's not. "What do we do?" I ask him, but for some reason I couldn't hear him. Then he's gone from my site completely. "Dark?!" I call out in worry, but I get no response.

*Dark's POV*

Astral called out my name and I told him that I was right next to him. But for some reason he couldn't hear me. He called out my name again, "Dark? Where are you? Dark?" He called out looking around for me. I looked over to Dark Mist. He had that look on his face that said I know something you don't know. "What did you do to Astral?!" I yell at him. He replies to me with just three simple words "Blocking Agent 12." He said. I look at him horrified, now it makes sense why Astral can't see or hear me. Dark Mist throws me into a dark blue crystal, tapping me inside. I could only watch has he begins to manipulate Astral.

*3rd Person POV*

"It's just you and me now Astral." Dark Mist said, getting Astral's attention. "I know who you are, you're Dark Mist's anime personality." Astral said. "Now why would you think that?" Dark Mist asked, looking as calm as ever.

"Because I know Dark Mist would never let something like this happen to me." Astral said sternly. "Not unless I had a reason." Dark Mist said taking a step towards Astral. "What do you mean?" Astral questioned. "I'm trying to protect you from Dark, this is all just an illusion to try and take control of you." Dark Mist said walking closer to Astral.

"No... he wouldn't do something like that at a time like this..." Dark bagged on the crystal that kept him from Astral's side, "Don't believe him Astral! He's the one trying to hurt you not me!" But Dark's cries were left unheard by Astral. "I would never let Dark control you." Dark Mist said hugging Astral from behind. "The only thing you have to do Astral, is let this personality take control. He will protect you from Dark's evil intentions." Dark Mist whispered into Astral's ear.

Dark's anime personality appeared before them. "I don't know... how do I know that this new personality won't hurt you." Astral said as his eyes turned green. "I promise he won't hurt me, I called him here to protect you from Dark's evil ways."

Just then, the effects of the blocking agent wore off and Dark broke the crystal that kept him from Astral's side. "Astral! Astral! Listen to me, Dark Mist is trying to manipulate you! Astral!" Dark said shaking Astral. But Astral paid him no attention. "You will not get away with this!" He yelled at Dark Mist. Dark Mist just smirked at Dark, "Come here Astral." Dark Mist said in a soft voice, Astral did as he was told without question. Astral left Dark's side and stood beside Dark Mist.

*Real World*

"I don't understand how this is possible." Dumon said looking at the monitor, he sees not one, not two, not three, but four separate brainwaves patterns. "I'm with you Dumon, I don't understand how there could be another mind inside of Astral." Vector said, watching how Astral's brainwave patten matched Dark Mist's.

"Will I do." Black Mist said getting all of the emperors attention. "How?" Vector asks, "Simple, the other personality you see is Astral's dark side." Black Mist replied. "Now that makes sense, I remember when Astral turned evil at Sargasso."

*Astral's Mind*

*3rd Person POV*

Dark Mist made two crystals appear, one light blue and the other dark blue. "Give in to your true personality, he will protect you from Dark's evil. I promise." Dark Mist said as Astral closed his green eyes and fell back, allowing Dark Mist to catch him and Dark's true personality to take control.

Dark Mist made the light blue crystal come to him, smirking at Dark who is powerless to stop him. Dark Mist places Astral's unconscious mind into the crystal, sealing him away so he couldn't interfere if he were to regain consciousness. Both of the anime personalities of Dark Mist and Dark turn there attention from Astral to the true personality of Dark.

"What's wrong, I thought you always wanted to cause chaos?" Dark's amine personality said with a evil grin to him. "Only when I'm the one causing the chaos." Dark shot back annoyed. All three personalities looked at each other, waiting to see who would make the first move.

Unknown to all of the fighting personalities, the true personality of Dark Mist had awakened and had broken free from his crystal. He is watching the personalities fight from the shadows. Dark looked from his true personality to Dark Mist and back again, trying to decide which one to go after first.

Dark's anime personality whispered something into Dark Mist's ear, making him nod with a smirk. Unfortunately for Dark, he couldn't hear what his anime side said. Dark disappeared out of his true personalities' site, only to reappear behind him without his true personality knowing.

He was about to hit Dark with a hammer bow, until he was hit by a chaos sphere. Dark looks behind him to see his anime side trying to get up after the hit. "I won't let you hurt Dark." Dark Mist said coming out of hiding. "How did you get there?!" Dark Mist asked his true side angrily.

"I sensed Dark in distress and came to help." Dark Mist replied to his anime side. "It's good to see my true enemy." Dark smiled seeing the true Dark Mist. "Now release Astral, or I will." Dark Mist said, sternly looking at his anime side. "You will have to get through us first." Dark's anime side shot back.

*Real World*

"This isn't good." Black Mist said watching the monitor. "What's going on Number 96?" Vector ask getting Black Mist's attention. "Some how Dark Mist's true personality has been released ." Black Mist replied. "Isn't Dark Mist you're duel monster counterpart?" Vector asked confused. "It is, but he calls himself Dark Mist as well as Number 96." Black Mist replied back.
