It starts in the living room on the sofa. We were watching TV and playing cards.

Captain America: So this Sartorius person was going to use the Light of Destruction to destroy the universe?

Jaden: That's right. Good thing J.D. arrived in Duel Academy to arrest Crowler or we would've never been aware of it.

Syrus: Can you imagine what would've happened if J.D. hadn't informed us about Sartorius?

Mindy: I think he might've actually gone with his plan to brainwash everyone.

Chazz: He probably would've gone after me first.

Bastion: Sheppard most likely would've started another tournament if that happened.

Alexis: Well, let's not think about what might've happened. Besides, Sartorius is dead anyway. He can't hurt anyone anymore.

Me: Yeah. Had we not stop him he would've ultimately destroyed the entire universe.

Lincoln: It was horrible what he did.

Laney: It sure was.

Maria: And now he's in the darkness of Hell for all eternity.

Me: Yep.

Natilee: I have a dark secret I never told you about.

Lincoln: What's wrong Natilee?

Natilee always had a headband on and when she took it off she revealed a Sun-Shape Scar right in the Middle of the her forehead.

Me: Whoa!

Lincoln: That's a nasty scar.

Laney: How did you get that?

Natilee: When I was born I was kidnapped by a cult that worshiped the Sun and they branded me with this symbol in the middle of my forehead.

Me: That's terrible.

Lori: It sure is. And they literally gave you that scar as a baby? That's bad.

Natilee: Yeah. Dad killed the cult in the future.

Me: I'm glad I did.

Isabelle: I have a secret too.

Isabelle lifted up her shirt and on her back was a long scar that went all the way from her lower back to her lower neck.

Me: Ooh!

Lincoln: Geez. What happened to your back Isabelle?

Isabelle: I had a nasty bacterial infection that was destroying my spine. When I was 13 I had a nasty and aggressive bacterial infection that was destroying my spine. The doctors had no choice but to replace my whole spine and the pain it had was excruciating. It felt like they were tearing my organs out. They replaced my spine with a cybernetically enhanced version of it.

Lola: Ooh! That must've really hurt.

Lana: Yeah that must've really been painful.

Isabelle: For me "Painful" is an understatement. [Pulls out a photo] Here's what my spine looked like when the doctors removed it.

The photo showed Isabelle's spine and it was all rotten and gangrenous and it looked like something that was pulled out of a rotten corpse.

Lana: That is disgusting!

Lola: No kidding Lana. Isabelle that is awful!

Lori: No kidding. That is literally the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.

Me: That is horrible.

Isabelle: Yeah. The doctors diagnosed me with Gangrenous Necrotizing Osteomyelitis, an extremely rare and potentially fatal bacterial infection that destroys the spinal column. Only 1 in 840 million people get it.

Lucy: Gasp! That's horrible.

Lisa: A medical disease like that is highly possible. But because of its rare incidence rate, us finding a cure for it without the removal of the spinal vertabrae is highly unlikely.

Isabelle: That's right Lisa. The reason for that is because the bacteria that it's caused by is immune to all antibiotics. That's what makes it potentially fatal.

Lincoln: What kind of bacteria causes it?

Isabelle: Believe it or not it's the same bacteria that causes Tuberculosis. But it's fully immune to antibiotics. It's what doctors call a Super Bacteria. But because it's so rare hardly any cases of it have been reported around the world.

Laney: That's awful Isabelle.

Lana: Is this disease contagious?

Isabelle: Yes, but it can only be transfered through the mouth.

Me: Whoa! That's awful.

Spiderman: Yeah Isabelle. You've essentially been through a war.

Isabelle: I know. But my story does not end there. The new Spine I got enhanced my strength, reflexes and speed by 300 times and I had to get used to it after I recovered. While I rested during my recovery I had a vision and I saw the spirits of the animals and all that they represent and it was an amazing thing. I saw a wolf and it came to me. When I woke up I had this really cool ring on my middle finger and it had the wolf in it. That's how I became the Shaman of my family. I have this amazing power that lets me know what everyones spirit animal is.

Me: That's incredible.

Laney: Yeah. What's my Spirit Animal?

Isabelle: Your spirit animal Laney is the deer for Gentleness, Understanding and a need to not push others into change and nudge others in the right direction.

Isabelle sent blue dust and formed a ring on Laney's right middle finger and it had a brown gem with a deer on it.

Laney: Wow!

Lola: Laney that is a beautiful ring.

Lana: It sure is.

Laney: It's amazing.

Then we heard pecking on the window.

We saw a crow pecking and Laney went over.

Laney: What's wrong?

Crow: There's a disturbance over in the far north near Nunavat Bay, Canada.

Laney: What kind of disturbance?

Crow: A magical disturbance. It involves two bears named Kenai and Nika.

Laney: We better check it out. Lana, Shanan we better go.

Shanan: Right. Lets go guys.

They packed their fur parkas and set out for Nunavat, Canada. It was in a forest inside the Arctic Circle.
