	Starlight sighed as she went inside her house. It had been a good day, but she was still upset that she had lost with her very first deck. But on the plus side, she had met a nice guy. And he even offered to help her with her deck. "I guess today was pretty good after all." Starlight sat down on her bed and took a careful look at her deck. "If only there was a way I could integrate all of you into my deck no problem."

"I can help with that.", a voice said. Starlight looked around, and saw a swirl of sickly green, unstable energy form in front of her. "There is a way to seamlessly integrate all of your monsters. That is, IF you're willing to accept my offer."

"How can you get all of my cards to work together?", Starlight asked with a dubious expression on her face.

"Let's just say my power has a....connection to the legendary dragons.", the entity said.

"So how do I get this power you're talking about?" A mask materialized out of the entity's form.

"Simply dawn this mask, and the power will flow through you and your deck. With this power, you will also be able to sense the power of legendary dragons. And you'll also be able to do so much more." Starlight was hesitant as she reached out toward the mask, but the allure of mastering legendary dragons proved too great. Starlight took the mask, and put it on. A surge of sickly green energy pulsed through her whole body and her deck! When the energy faded, Starlight took a moment to adjust.

"This energy...I've never felt strength like this!" Starlight then snapped her attention to somewhere else. "Looks like that voice wasn't wrong. I can sense two legendary dragons nearby! Time to see what else this new power can do....."

CHS that night....

Two glowing cards, one red and one blue hovered at the entrance of CHS. In a flash of red and blue light, the cards transformed into Hermos and Critias respectively. "So this is where we sensed Timaeus.", Hermos mused. "From the feel of his energy, he's found quite the worthy partner."

"Indeed.", Critias said with a nod. "And it also looks like he's grown stronger. He seems to have gotten a new form." Critias then tensed as he felt a familiar presence! "Hermos?"

"Yes. I feel it too. But what is his power doing here? We and the other legendary dragons banished him long ago! And where's it coming from?!" The two legendary dragons soon got their answer as chains of sickly green energy bound them! Both dragons struggled to break free of their bonds, but the chains made them return to their cards! Trapping them until the one who captured them released them in a duel! Starlight was in awe of what her new power had just accomplished.

"Looks like there's going to be a new master of dragons in town.", Starlight said with a smile. "And I can sense there's plenty of dragons for me to tame...." Starlight returned home with a peaceful smile on her face. Eagerly anticipating her future victories in duels.
