"That is something else we must watch over as well," Uriel replied. "If he has the power, and loses control again....all those around him will be in danger." I know that firsthand. He thought silently.

"Anyway, we have to fashon a cover for Ashleigh" Lanchia said, and have a good look at her.
"Hmm....Green eyes, blond hair, and a new set of clothing will do just fine" she said.

"If you need me, I will be in my study." Uriel said. He strode away, leaving the others to their own agendas. If what I discovered is true, that the Mutous are a family of angels...I hope it is not a tragedy of all those years ago. But it can't be repeated, can it, if their auras are all different alignments?

Lanchia gave Ashleigh a gold bracelette with a red stripe in the middle. Ashleigh put it on.
"Now, stay still" she said and raised her arms as Ashleigh's cover was shown. When she was finished, she had a good look. For now, a red dress with red high-heeled shoes to match. A peice of loose hair had a band with the same colours as the braclette.
"Your cover name is Laria Yuki"the arch angel said.

Back in the world of life, Selena had Alice the tarantula in her portable cage and was sneaking up on a sleeping Yusei. Yusei...you're about to find out why you don't fall asleep in the lounge, She thought. Right behind her, camera at the ready, was Aki Izayoi.

Aki tried not to laugh while Selena was setting up.
I can't wait to show everyone this when it's done she thought.

"Get the camera going!" Selena said as she took Alice out of her cage. "We can't miss this!'

Aki nodded and hit record. She put the thumbs up and got into view.

Selena grinned and snuck around behing Yusei. The young man was sitting on the couch, asleep, with a book he'd apparently been reading before he conked out. Selena let Alice off her hand right next to Yusei's shoulder, letting the tarantula crawl onto his shoulder herself. Quickly, with a supressed giggle, she snuck away again, to the other side of the room.

As Alice investigated her new surroundings, Yusei muttered something and let out a small snore. Hard sleeper, I see. If Crow was joking about Yusei being extra-sensitive to anything with crawly legs, I'm gonna get him... She thought.

When Alice the tarantula brushed her legs on one of his cheeks, Yusei grunted something and swiped it away. Again, Alice poked at his cheek. Again, Yusei mumbled and swept it away. Instead Alice decided to start crawling along his chest.

Yusei grumbled something and stirred. "What the...?" He asked, looking down. He saw Alice the tarantula and immediatly freaked out. "YYYEEEEAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!" He screamed, jumping up and sending the tarantula flying. He looked when he saw the two women laughing. "Oh, hell no!" He said. "Please tell me that's not on record!"

"Oh yeah it is" Aki replied, cracking up with laughter while Selena went to pick Alice up, "And there is NOTHING you can do about it now!"

A look of absolute horror passed accross Yusei's face. "Hell. No." He said. "Aki, please tell me that's a joke!"

"Nope," Selena said, stroking the scared tarantula with her finger. "Your reaction was hilarious!"

Just then the pitter-patter of two sets of feet came running down the hall, shortly followed by the appearance of the twins. "We heard Yusei scream and thought something was wrong," Ruka said. "But...what happened?"

Aki pushed the record button to stop recording.
"I show you later. It's totally hillarous" she replied.
"Aw man...." Rua said, spotting Selena with Alice.

"Aki, Selena, I will get back at you two for that." Yusei said.

"Sure you will," Selena said, putting Alice back in the small portable cage. She picked it up, and as she was leaving the room, she bent over and whispered in Rua's ear, "Yusei's scared to hell of bugs."

"Say what??" Rua exclaimed!
"I didn't know about it untill a few days ago" Aki said.

"Who told you?" Yusei growled.

"Crow." Selena replied. "Now all we need to do is email that video to the rest of the gang...."

Yusei paled. "You wouldn't dare...."

Selena grinned. "Oh, yes I would...."

"You should know Selena by now" Aki said.

Yusei sighed. "You're still going to pay for that...."

Three days later, it was the eve of the last stand. D-Day was almost there. Everyone at HQ was in the last legs of preparation for the final battle. Part of this had the mages and duelists in the Elite Squad, as well as the remaining Signers, in a conference with Max.

"I believe we know why I brought you all here," Max said. "This is the last battle for us all. Either Kaimiri will win, or we will."

"So, what's the final plan of action?" Atem asked.

---

It was the last day of training. Aka, Ashleigh and Ruby was summoned to Uriel's study.
"Why did you summon us?" Ruby asked.

"Selena, Melhana." Max said, nodding to the two women.

Melhana leaned onto the table. She was wearing her battle outfit; a black sleeveless tunic cinched at the waist with a gold belt, long biker gloves that were fastened to the top with a strip of fabric that buttoned to the gloves at one end and to the shoulders of the tunic on the other, black pants she had tucked into her two-inch-heel combat boots. The tunic had the wadjet eye embroidered on the front in gold thread. "It's based off of a Halo campaign Selena, Otogi, Kaiba and I were in a while back." She said. "Four people against a shipload of aliens isn't the best odds. So, we split up and started up with a lot of chatter, making it sound like there were more than just the four of us after them. It worked out pretty well...even though Otogi blew himself up with his own plasma grenade."

"A bluff," Ryu Marufuji said. "We're going against Kaimiri with less than a quarter of his men...with a bluff?"

"Pretty much," Melhana replied. "It's the best plan we've got, so far."

---

"It is the last day of your training, Ashleigh Mutou." Uriel said. "And your friends and family are getting ready to head into the final battle against Kaimiri and his forces. You must now make your choice."

---

Jack entered the room where Kaimiri and the entity were. "So, when are they going to attack?" He asked. He was itching to take his anger out on Yusei.

"it's better than nothing" Aki said, "Don't you agree Yugi?"

---

"Is that time already?" Ashleigh asked.

---

"You have to be patient Jack" Dark Ashleigh said.

Yugi nodded. "Yeah," He said.

"We'll have to keep moving to make it work." Selena continued. "Meaning we're gonna have to split up into smaller groups and keep fast on our feet to make sure that Kaimiri still thinks he's taking on a larger unit."

"I hope this plan works," Yusei said. Crow nodded.

"You're not the only ones thinking that," Max said.

---

Uriel nodded. "After this battle, your arch angel training will begin. What I want to know is if you are going to fight in the coming battle."

---

"I've been being patient for nearly a week." Jack replied. "How many hours before the attack begins?"

"I just hope mum comes back in time" Yana said.

---

"I made a promise that I help them to fight and I'm not going to break that promise" Ashleigh replied.

---

"About 8 hours more. It's not long now" Dark Ashleigh replied.

"We all do, Yana." Max replied. "We've got eight hours before the final battle begins. Kaimiri is going to come here, to Old Domino, which is to our advantage."

"'Old Domino'?" Ruka asked. "Don't you mean Neo Domino?"

"Nope, she's got it right." Yugi said. "Old domino is the one place all of us know. I believe it's now known as Satillite."

---

"Good," Uriel replied. "The final battle against Kaimiri will begin in eight hours."

---

"Hmph." Jack grunted. "Then why was I called here?"

"I just hope that we can win, for everyone's sake" Atem said.
"you got that right" Aki agreed.

---

"So, when do I leave?" Ashleigh asked.

---

"Better ask Kaimiri that" Dark Ashleigh replied.

"Wait...you guys all know Satilite?" Yusei asked.

"Class of 2002, Domino High." Yugi said. "I grew up, there, so did Jonouchi and the others."

"And I spent all but one of my high school semesters there." Selena said. "And Melhana's not exactly a stranger to Domino either."

"Heh," Melhana said. "Yeah, a year and a half for me. And sticking around for a few years after, for college."

---

"As soon as possible," Uriel replied.

---

"Well, Kaimiri?" Jack prompted.

Kaimiri held his hand out and summoned a map of the area they were getting ready to attack. "I presume this looks familiar to you, Jack." He said.

Jack's eyes went wide. "That's....Satilite..." He whispered.
