Syrus is sitting quietly on a rock

near the castle, thinking over what he

dreamt about. Syrus takes out his

Gameboy Color out of his pocket and

turns it on. As he begins playing, he

senses Wizeman and Mr. I over his

shoulder watching.

“You guys got a problem?”

They quickly go and act like

they weren’t watching. As Syrus continues

to play, they come back. Syrus takes out

two Ideya Marbles and drops them. The

monsters are sucked in.

“Takes care of them.”

Syrus begins playing his Gameboy

in peace. The MystSages logo appears on

the screen. The logo disappears and then a

Vortex logo appears. Then the text “presents”

Just as Syrus was about to actually

PLAY the game, a voice speaks to him.

“Syrus!”

It’s Zoe. Synan is with her, too.

“It’s about time you got here, Synan.”

“What?” Synan asks.

“I’ve been waiting here for quite some

time for you to arrive.”

Zoe says, “Yeah, well, we had to help

Elsie get un-lost.”

“Zoe. I’m not talking to you, am I?”

“...”

“So anyway, Synan. What monsters

do you got?”

Synan releases all his monsters: Monk,

Crystal, and Emerald.

“Ha ha ha! Those have to be the

weakest monsters!”

Zoe releases her Clawz, Prisem, and

Skyber. A chill goes through Syrus as he

remembers that dream about Zoe and the

dead Clawz.

“Oh, so you got a Clawz. That’s a

rare one-of-a-kind monster.” Syrus mocks,

hiding his fear. “But look at MY monsters!”

Syrus releases all ten of his monsters.

Monk, Blue Orb, Wizeman, Jr. Ico, Emerald,

Mr. I, Skyber, Octa, Octo, and Jelly-Fly.

Synan’s mouth drops open.

“And look. Ever seen one of

these?” Syrus holds out the Greater

Ideya.

“These things will capture ANY

monster without fail.”

“Woah!”

“So, Synan. Ready to battle? You

can use Zoe’s monsters, too, if you think

it will help. All my monsters are level 58/100.”

“Forget it, Syrus.”

“Why? Are your monsters at

level 3? Oh, no. That was too harsh. I meant

to say negetive 3.”

“Hey Syrus! Close your eyes and

press this little square down.” Syrus does

it and soon is linked to another location.

Syrus appears back at the entrance to the

island. In anger, he whips his Ideya Marbles

into the ground, returning all his monster.

“Wait a minute.” Syrus releases

Mr. I. “Fly me back to the castle.”

Mr. I says, “I can’t do that. It’s

just too far for me to fly. Sorry.”
