"I'm going to Link Vrains for a while, I have to blow off some steam," Ryoken says to Yuri and Vegeta.

"Don't take long, we don't want you to go missing on us," Vegeta says. He's taken on the role of ruler since Shingetsu's disappearance six and half years ago.

"Understood Vegeta," Ryoken says as he walks off to his room.

Once in his room, Ryoken takes out his duel disk. "Into the Vrains," he calls out to get his duel disk to take him to Link Vrains. His duel disk glows but something goes wrong, though Ryoken doesn't realize it yet. He's taken to Link Vrains and takes on the appearance of his first Link Vrains Avatar, Revolver.

"Where have I gone to now?" Shingetsu asks herself as she looks around. Whatever she was able to used should have gotten her home, but nothing that she sees looks like home.

Suddenly a large dragon comes out of nowhere destroying everything in its path, there's also a person on top of it.

"Wait, is that Cracking Dragon and a Knight of Hanoi?"

"Come out come out Playmaker! I know you're here," the knight says with a smirk.

"Looking for me?" Playmaker comes out of hiding on his duel board with his duel disk ready to go.

Shingetsu is close by and is able to see everything. The duel between Playmaker and the Knight of Hanoi gets going. In the middle of the duel Shingetsu's eyes starts to glow and she starts drawing out the Ignis that's suck in Playmaker's duel disk.

"Playmaker what's going on?" Ai says as he comes out of Playmaker's duel disk.

Everyone looks around to see what the cause of this could be, but they don't see anything or anyone that could cause this. Shingetsu gasps as her mental instability kicks in and she passes out, falling to the ground. Her eyes go back to normal and Ai goes back into Playmaker's duel disk. The duel continues as if nothing had happened with Playmaker winning.

Unknown to Shingetsu someone is watching her and sees what she can do to the Ignis.

"Specter, bring that girl to me," the leader of Hanoi orders.

"I'll have her back here within the hour sir," Specter says as he bows lightly and disappears.

It doesn't take Specter long to find and retrieve Shingetsu; he takes her back to the Hanoi base. She's allowed to rest until she regains consciousness.

"Varis, sir." Specter says politely to get his leader's attention

"Yes, what is it?" Varis says, turning his attention away from his screen and to Specter.

"I have the girl, but she was unconscious when I found her."

"I see, being her to me when she regains consciousness."

"Understood sir." Specter bows to Varis then disappears to keep an eye on Shingetsu.

It takes several hours for Shingetsu to regain even a little bit of consciousness. She looks around trying to figure out where she is, but Specter notices this and goes to take her out of the cell. Even mentally weak she fusses and fights to be left alone, but Specter drags her out anyway taking her straight to Varis. Varis is looking through a screen that overlooks Link Vrains, he's keeping an eye out for Playmaker. Thinking of ways to take and destroy his Ignis.

"Varis sir, I've got the girl but she's not completely conscious yet."

Varis turns to Specter to look at the girl he's holding onto to. The girl before him looks weak and pale, she's barely able to stand much less walk on her own. Varis takes a moment to study the girl's features and a small smirk graces his lips.

"She's weak but feisty." Varis says as he walks closer. "Now what's a young girl like you doing on Link Vrains?"

Shingetsu's not even paying attention, she just trying to remain conscious. Though Specter shakes her to get her attention.

"Varis asked you a question girl," he snaps at her.

'Varis...? Then he's not my...' Tears threaten to fall but they're held back.

"Answer the question girl, what are you doing on Link Vrains?" Specter shakes and snaps at her again.

"I don't know..." Shingetsu finally responds. she feels slightly dizzy swaying on her feet a little. Holding onto Specter to keep from falling.

"You're a very interesting girl." Varis chimes in.

"Oh?..."

"We saw what you did, you almost had that Ignis in your grasp." Varis says, sounding a bit excited.

"I don't know what you're talking about Varis." Shingetsu replies confused as another wave of dizziness hits her making her almost fall.

Specter catches her to keep her from falling. Shingetsu rubs her temples trying to ease the pain and dizziness though it doesn't really help.

"We need your help." Varis says seeming to not care for the pain the girl's in.

"With what?"

"We need to get Playmaker's Ignis, your special ability can help us do that."

"It's not special it's a curse and I'm not going to help you hurt innocent people."

"Hurt people? I'll be saving them from those evil heartless Ignises." Varis say as he lets out a little chuckle.

"You're willing to sacrifice anyone and anything to get what you want, and I won't be a part of it." Shingetsu's voice sounds weak and tired.

"Don't test my patience girl. You will help us or you'll never see the real world again."

"Then you're going to have to force me Varis," she snaps at him.

"Oh really? I'd hate to have to hurt such a nice girl like you," he says, coming closer to her.

Shingetsu refuses to look at Varis, her bangs slightly fall into her face. Coving her eyes, as the dizziness slowly creeps up on her again.

"Do you really think you can stop me from getting what I want?" Varis says as he slowly takes his hand to move her bangs out of her face. He doesn't know it but his hand brushes against her left temple.

Shingetsu lets out a whimper of pain which almost sounds like a cat's hiss and backs right into Specter in an attempt to get away. This makes Specter almost fall from her backing into him. Varis and Specter look at each other, confused. Varis had barely laid a hand on the girl and yet she whimpered and back away from him in pain. This gave Varis an idea to which he smirked at.

"I'll makes sure you never feel that pain again if you listen and bring me Playmaker's Ignis," he whispers into her ear.

"Go get it yourself. Oh, that's right. You can't beat Playmaker," she says in an act of defiance.

"Why you insolent girl!" Varis growls at this, purposely brushes his fingertips against her left temple.

By his simple touch she lets out another pain filled whimper, falling to her knees desperately trying to ease the pain.

"Specter get this girl out of my site, I'll deal with her later," Varis says angrily.

"Yes, sir," Specter says and forces Shingetsu to her feet.

Varis turns back to his screen that overlooks Link Vrains to see another version of himself.

"What in the world, how can this be?!" Varis is shocked to see another version of him.

Revolver is dueling against Playmaker, but he finds it odd at how serious Playmaker is behaving. Usually when they duel it's more happy and playful.

"Are we not in a good mood today Playmaker?" Revolver asks lightly, thinking that this is the Playmaker he knows from back home.

"I'll never be completely happy until I stop you Varis and the rest of the Hanoi for good." Playmaker replies.

When Playmaker calls him Varis this catches Revolver's attention, he starts to have second thoughts about this Playmaker. He knows his Playmaker would never call him by his English name of Varis, he would always call him by his Japanese name of Revolver unless they're outside of Link Vrains. But for now, he pushes that thought aside and checks his hand to see what his next move should be. As the duel rages on Revolver can't help but feel like something's wrong with Playmaker, eventually the duel comes to a close ending in a draw. He is just about to log off of Link Vrains when his duel disk says he's not logged in at all.

"This... can't be," he says as he looks at his duel disk with an almost horrified expression. 'If I'm not in Link Vrains, then where am I?' He mentally asks himself but the answer hits him quickly. He glances over at Playmaker as he logs out and disappears from site.

"No wonder why I felt something was wrong with him, he's not Playmaker. As least, not the one I know." He whispers quietly to himself as a light breeze comes through.
