Anna and Jack entered the duel arena, the air was tense, the rivalry was big, Anna didn't said a word, she just prepared

- Aren’t you going to say anything? – Jack asked.
- Have you ever been in heaven? It’s been said that it’s worse than hell. – Anna softly said.
- Tsk… Big words for a fairy. – Zack replied.
- Small words for a piece of junk. – Anna responded back.
- Ugr… I’ll take the first move. – Zack enraged said.

Jack‘s Turn

Next I’ll summon, Mechanize Burn – Sento. And as you know, when Sento is summoned you take 800 damage, but I’ll pay 1000 life points from my trap to deal the double. Next I’ll pay 800 life points to Special Summon a Sento from my hand.

When Angel’s Supporter is special Summon by the effect of a Fairy-type monster, I can turn Angel Swordswoman level 4. So I’ll overlay my Level 4 Angels and I’ll Xyz Summon,

But still get the damage. Next I’ll change my monsters to defense position and end my turn.

When this monster is summoned you take 1100 damage. This means I’ve won!

The Flames of E.R started to surround Anna, but it didn’t even touch her. Anna was protect by a invisible sphere, as Jack watch this miracle happening. Anna smiled softly.

- What the… What is this?! – Jack shouted.
- I activate the effect of my spell card, “Angel’s Voice”. – Anna replied.
- What?! How?! Your life points hit 0. – Jack was confused.
- When my life points hit 0 I gain 100 life points and inflict 1000 for each counter it had. You pretty much were just setting your own death flag. – Anna said.
- N-No… Even with 0 life points I can’t defeat you! – Jack sighed.
- 100 life points, to be precise.

Jack: 0 Anna: 100

- OHHHHHHHHH Anna won!!! The champion is going to the finals to protect her title. – P. Simon shouted with the spectators cheering up. - We will take a 10 minute break. So enjoy it while you can!! – P.Simon said.

During that break, Zack left his seat and went meeting up with Anna and Hugh.

- Hey guys! Congrats on your victories – Zack said.
- Hey Zack! – Hugh greets Zack.
- Hi Zack, what do you think? – Anna asked.
- What do I think? You guys are awesome, reaching the finals is cool! – Zack said, cheerful.
- I’m not referring that. I mean my outfit and my new deck. – Anna mumbled.
- Oh… You look great. The deck looks powerful. – Said Zack
- You guys seem that you were spending time together… – Hugh wondered.
- Hey, Anna. Can I speak with you in private? – Zack asked.
- Sure, we’ll be right back, Hugh. – Anna said.
- S-Sure… - Hugh replied.

Anna and Zack went to the lockers, where they could talk more in private, there Zack wanted to share some info with Anna.

- So what’s up? – Anna asked.
- Alright…So… I have this feeling that you will lose this match… - Zack said.
- So you saw the future… - Anna sighed.
- I saw, but not who won. – Zack sighed too.
- What do you mean? – Anna asked.
- A red sphere will appear and no one from the outside can’t see the duel, my visions can’t go any further… - Zack replied.
- I see… - Anna said, worried.
- Don’t worry, Zack. Anna and I predict that the pendent will react during the duel. – Dolkka stepped in.
- How can you be so sure? – Zack asked.
- The pendent began to glow each time Hugh’s life points decreased. So it will react and do whatever is possible to win. – Anna referred.
- I see… What are you going to do to stop it? – Zack asked.
- If we are right, Hugh will get possessed. And If a spirit is able to control a duelist then my spirit will enter the pendent while Dolkka will duel in my place. – Anna said.
- I see… What will you do next? – Zack asked.
- The pendent is guarded by some sort of energy, if Laggia is inside of it and imprisoned there; Anna will try to set him free. – Dolkka said.
- Good plan but what happens if you fail? – Zack wondered.
- I may be a prisoner too and Dolkka will have to possess my body… - Anna whispered.

- Time’s up! Please Hugh and Anna, step inside the duel arena. – P.Simon announced, and Anna returned with Zack.

- Well good luck to both of you. You will need it. – Zack said.
- Thanks. – Both of them thanked.

- Good luck, Anna. No matter what happens, both of us are champions. – Hugh said.
- Thanks, guess you’re right. – Anna replied.
