Helena had hoped that this was all over, the spirits were an annoyance but she got through them, only to duel Haruko, or Haruko’s clone? Copy? It didn’t matter. What mattered was saving her friend from this spiritual mess that she got forcibly dragged into. Helena got into the mindset that if this was just a copy of Haruko, maybe she wouldn’t be too hurt by her psychic abilities. Helena went all in on the duel, promising to save her friend, and she won the duel. The void slowly opened back up into the forest and the copy vanished too. Was it over?

Not by a long shot. Some of the other duelists that were in the forest, for one reason or another, seemingly lost their duels and had been possessed as a result. All of this was becoming too much for Helena to bare, she held her head in pain and frustration as she gritted her teeth. [color=8882be]“Why can’t you all just leave us alone!? We’ve done nothing to you!”[/color] She yelled out, breaking her usual quiet tone. “Helena! Calm down!” Chosen tried to comfort her but it wasn’t going to work. [color=8882be]“I’ve had it with all this running around and dealing with you spirits! Now let go of those people or else I’ll make you!”[/color] She exclaimed as she brought out her duel disk.

It ended up becoming a tag duel, Helena was paired up with the girl she had seen before. Mina? At least that’s what she remembers anyway. The duel, in all honesty, was a mess. Neither her or Mina could do anything to break Cassandra and Sina’s defenses. One last ditch effort from Helena in summoning Faerie Master to protect her and Mina wasn’t enough as Cassandra easily got rid of him using her Reptiliannes. The duel ended in the disaster, Cassandra and Sina barely taking any life point damage. While Helena and Mina were slowly but surely taken out of the game.

Helena couldn’t believe it, she didn’t want to believe it. Was she dead? Did she fail to save Haruko? She couldn’t take it. Helena had no way to release her psychic abilities during that whole duel, and with a loud cry of pain, a small shockwave blew out from her as she collapsed to the ground. Her mind overloaded from the stress of her psychic powers, causing her to pass out. In her last moments of consciousness, all she could think of was her failure to save Haruko and the others, before drifting away.
