"But the other vessals won't face the same fate untill D-Day, making it easier to revive...." Ashleigh trailed off.

"Easier to revive Sho." Yugi finished. He didn't know him or his older brother, Ryu Marufuji, very well, but he did know that Ryu was just as protective over Sho as Kaiba was over Mokuba.

"No, by the time we get to him, it will be too late. I was meaning myself. By D-Day I will be......" and Ashleigh hugged Yugi, crying.

Yugi didn't need Ashleigh to finish what she was saying to know what she meant. Instead he just let her cry on his shoulder, patting the back of her head in comfort. "We'll get you out of there, don't worry." He said quietly.

"How? It will be impossible for you to get me out of there in time. My suggestion is that after the cornation which will be held in a few minutes now, you have to prepare for D-Dayn and snap me out of the enchantment. And the enchantment over you all has been broken already" Ashleigh said, whiping her tears away.

"At least now we know the one masquerading as you is fake." Selena typed. "I think that's half the battle down."

"Then we'll just have to make it possible." Yugi said. "Since when have you known me to let down any of my friends?"

"Almost never" Ashleigh replied.
"HURRY UP!!!" Saharia's voice traveled down the hallways.

Yugi nodded. "And that much won't change, you can bet on it."

"Guys, I think Saharia's getting a bit impatient." Honda said. "In other words, enough of the mushy stuff."

Everyone nodded as Ashleigh turned back into Laria. Just then, the red on her bracelette glowed.
"Screw this, Saharia is more important" Laria said as the group walked down the corridors to the cornation room.

Selena trailed slightly behind the group, deep in thought about all that was going on. Ashleigh said that my Demon Eye was evolving. She thought. That's probably what that dream where my right eye was bleeding meant. But how will that change it? Hell, how will it change me? And what kind of evolution is it if my eye really does bleed, like it did in my dream...?

After an hour, Saharia's role was certain and set in stone. But everyone's eyes stared at the bracelette.
"From all the times they could've picked, why did they choose it here?" Laria said.

"What's wrong?" Yugi asked. "Why's your bracelet glowing?" he added when he saw that the bracelet was glowing red.

"You see" Laria said as the pressed the button. From there a screen appeared, showing both Yusei AND Judai.
"And you picked a better time" Laria grumbled.

"Don't start." Yusei said. Amazingly, this version of him was normal, and a bit older.

Yugi tensed. "What do you want? What've you done to Judai?" He asked.

Yusei put his hands up in surrender on the other end. "This isn't what you think." He replied. "Okay...this is going to take some explaining. I'm assuming that since I'm talking to you right now, Ashleigh's already there and told you part of the details."

"If you mean this being Ashleigh from the future, then yes." Yugi replied, still cautious.

"Well, that makes things less complicated." Judai piped up. "Yugi-san, Yusei and I have a bit of news for you and Atem that probably won't make sense.

"The four of us all have angel spirits."

Yugi stared at the two, dumbfounded. "I told you he wouldn't believe it." Yusei deadpanned.

"How else were you expecting me to put it?!" Judai replied heatedly. "On the other hand, never mind..." he added when he saw the glare Yusei was giving him.

"HEY! I told you NOT to say that! I wanted them to find out themselves!" Ashleigh resorted!
"Impossible! No way am I an angel spirit! I cause so many people to go crazy, had people suffer AND hurt my closest friend" Atem said in shock!

"Too late for that. We all know Judai and his big mouth." Yusei said.

"I do not!" Judai protested.

"Yes you do, Judai." Yugi said before Yusei could interject.

Yusei fixed Atem with a look of understanding. "Atem, I know what you're thinking right now. You won't hurt anyone." He said, pain clear in his eyes. "At least, not as bad as I managed to...."

"What do you mean by that?" Atem asked.
"Kaimiri has granted the enitiy full access to any missions that it desires. Meaning that you have to protect Ryo Bakura at all cost because he's one of the targets. So it will do more damage than before" Ashleigh explained.

"What makes it worse is I remember everything I did while that....thing was possessing me." Yusei replied. "Atem, Yugi, I know you're going to think I'm crazy for saying this, but you guys HAVE to stop me, at all costs."

"But that could mean...." Yugi said, knowing full well what Yusei meant.

Yusei nodded. "At this point, I don't care if I'm killed. Just stop that thing before I hurt anyone else. Please." He replied.

"As long as Ashleigh reivives you at the end" Atem said in a bored tone.
"You have to do the rest without us three" Ashleigh said.

"Why's that?" Yugi asked.

"She's right." Judai said, suddenly serious. "I know we can't tell you guys exactly what happens, Yugi-san, but I can tell you that..." He took a deep breath to steady himself. "Remember when I told you and everyone about when I was the Supreme King?"

Yugi nodded. "Go on." He said.

"I...lose control of that power again. Worse, this time." Judai replied. "Please...find a way to protect Sora and Asuka, please. I don't want to hurt them like I did before."

"And not matter what, I be no use in my human form. What I mean by that, you have to figure out yourselves. Anyway, boys, Yuai's being used. Just as I feared. If we don't get her back, the D-Gear will be released early and we don't want that to happen" Ashleigh said.

"Yuai?" Yugi, Yusei, and Judai asked in confusion.

"I've met her." Selena typed as she overheard the conversation. "Ashleigh's right, the girl's being used. And Judai, don't worry, I'll make sure neither of them gets hurt when you go ballistic."

"I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not by that, but thanks." He replied. "By the way, give Sora my regards, and good luck in the Olympics coming up. I need to go, ASAP. Yubel's pestering me about...er, a problem in this time frame." He said, signing out on his end.

"I better go too. Can't believe that they forgot about her already! Whatever happens to us three, we know that you will prevail. I don't want our time frame to collide with this, and I don't want you to deal with an idiot worse than Joey AND a blue guy who is searching for No. cards" Ashleigh said as she also disappeared, leaving the group totally confused on what just happened.

"An idiot bigger than Jonouchi. That I've GOT to see." Selena typed.

"very interesting I might say" Max said, "But we have still no idea about this exceed thing."
"Agreed" Yana said, "but we have to do what mum says. We have to prepare for D-Day."
