Kris fist pumped the air with a wide smile on her face. "Aw yeah! This was one of the best duels ever!" she said as her duel disk folded back up. Kris had just finished a game of Duel Monsters with Raf having free time in class. Kris had to admit, Raf's Constellar deck was really cool and quite powerful. Kris ran a mix of Gagaga monsters and Monarchs, though her deck is mostly about the Monarchs she has. So far, no one she or any of her friends knew how to run a deck of Monarchs. Kris was the only one who knew how to use them well and have all of them together. The school bell rang, signaling that it was the end of the school day. The two children packed their things and went out.

~At Base~

"Maybe if I add Card Advance to my deck it'll be better, but which to replace…" Kris muttered to herself as she looked at her deck, trying to see what cards she needed to change and how it could apply to any situation. As she was doing this, Ratchet over heard her muttering and went to see what the young Prime was doing. "What are doing?" the medic asked. Kris turned to him as she put her deck into her duel disk. "I'm fixing up my deck so that it'll be better than ever and beat everyone else's." Kris answered. Ratchet raised a brow, "And what, pray tell, game would this be for?" he asked. Kris smirked. "Duel Monsters! It's a really complicated and strategic game, but once you understand the rules, all that's left is finding out what kind of deck is best for you and how you should use them based on your strategy."

Miko came into the area as the conversation had gone on. "Oh! You play Duel Monsters!?" the zealous girl asked excitedly to Kris, to which she nodded her head to. Miko took out her duel disk. "You. Me. Duel. Now." The two girls went to the main floor and stood a good distance between each other. They both put on their duel gazers and unfolded their duel disks.

""Duel!""

Ratchet stayed in the sidelines to see how this game really worked and to see if it caught his interest.

Kris started first. "I'll start out by setting a monster card face down and setting two cards down and end my turn." Miko smirked. "Is that all you got? Well then check this out!"

~Time Skip~

"Zaborg the Thunder Monarch! Finish this duel!" Kris yelled as her monster eliminated the rest of Miko's life points. Kris laughed as Miko stood in defeat. "It seems those fairies of yours weren't strong enough to beat my Monarchs, Miko." the young Prime said as she walked up to the young japanese teen. Miko chuckled and said, "That was still an awesome duel though. I mean, really. You and those Monarchs are perfect!" The two girls laughed together as Ratchet stood by the monitors, analyzing what had just happened.

Kris had been right when she said that the game was complicated and involved a lot of thinking. Ratchet still can't get what the rules are and even then he would be lost. He wondered if a lot of people knew how to play this game. If so, then he would be embarrassed by not knowing how to figure out a game while a bunch of humans understand it. "Hey, Kris." Ratchet started. "Maybe you could teach me how to play." Kris and Miko smiled.

~Time Skip~

"Attack him directly, Thestalos!" Ratchet's life points hit zero as he was defeated again from another practice duel with Kris. Ratchet had settled with a Naturia deck. I don't understand why but let's just roll with it for now. Kris walked up to the medic as he put his deck away. "You need to have a balance between your offense and your defense, Uncle Ratch." Kris told him. "If you have too much of one of them then it can back fire on you easily." Ratchet nodded while rubbing the back of his neck. "So it seems."

The sound of engines were heard through the entrance as Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Bumblebee came into the base. Kris ran up to Optimus. "Hey, Oppy!" Said mech looked down to the young girl with a soft smile. He knelt down. "Hello, sweetspark. How was your day?" he asked Kris. "Good. I was just teaching Uncle Ratchet how to play Duel Monsters." Kris answered happily. Bumblebee bleep to Ratchet, asking how he was liking it. "It's very complicated. I'm surprised a human could come up with such a game." "Well, what deck did you get?" Arcee asked. "Naturia." Kris answered for him with a giggle. Raf and Miko laughed in the background as well. Arcee looked at Ratchet with a look of surprise. "Really? I would have thought you would get a deck of like alchemists or something, but Naturia?"

Kris shrugged. "He understands them the best. Oh, Oppy! Wanna do a tag team duel with me and Raf? You and 'Cee can go against us." Kris asked as she bounced on her toes. Raf ran to her side with eyes that were just as pleading. Optimus chuckled, "Very well, but only if Arcee wants to join." Arcee nodded her head and took out her deck. Kris and Raf activated their duel disks and duel gazers.

""Let's duel!""

Optimus and Arcee got ready and everyone had set up their hands. Arcee started first. "I'll start off by summoning Rose Whip in attack and then end my turn." Optimus looked to Arcee for a moment. Every rose has its thorns. was the sudden thought he had before turning his attention back to the duel. But not without his cooling fans turning on in hyperdrive.

Kris smiled as Raf and her looked at each other quite smugly. "Alright then." Kris started. "I draw!" Kris drew her card and smiled upon looking at it. "Let's get this party started then. I summon out Gagaga magician." Gagaga Magician appeared on the field and was in a ready fighting stance. "Ready?" Kris asked the monster, who then looked at her and nodded in return. "Alright, I activate Gagaga's special effect. I can call out a number between 1 and 8 and he becomes that level. So I change his level to 8!" Raf smiled, knowing what she was about to do. Optimus was confused as to why Kris summoned a monster and would change the level of it if there weren't any other monsters she could Xyz summon with.

"Now I special summon Gagaga Child." Gagaga Child came out into the field licking his ice pop. "Since I have another 'Gagaga' monster on the field other than Gagaga Child, I can special summon him and make his level the same as the other Gagaga monster. So now, Gagaga child is a level 8." Arcee and Optimus finally realized what she was doing. "Now I overlay my two Gagaga monsters to build the overlay network!" The two monsters go into the Xyz portal. "I Xyz summon Heretic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis!" "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!"

Oh, how the tables have turned.

~Time Skip~

"Finish this, Constellar Omega!" Kris and Raf yelled together as Optimus' and Arcee's life points hit zero. The two children high-fived each other as the two bots came up to them. "I think everyone should watch out for you two in a duel." Arcee said. Kris had to admit, Arcee's Rose deck and Optimus' Morphtronic deck were quite impressive, but were still no match for her Monarchs and Raf's Constellars. Kris giggled and pointed up to her father. "Watch out, Oppy. Raf and I just beat you at a card game." Miko laughed. "Yeah, watch out. Megatron might beat you at a card game!" The human children all laughed at the idea of Megatron dueling Optimus Prime instead of the regular combat.

~Later~

Kris laid on her bed in her room, just staring at the ceiling. That was until Gagaga Child appeared and yelled, "Hey, Prime!" Kris jumped back in surprise before glaring at the duel spirit. "Really, kid? It's duel spirits like you that make people think I'm crazy." Child just giggled before Gagaga Magician and Kuraz the Light Monarch appeared in the room as well. "Well, just be glad you're not the only one who can see duel spirits." Kuraz commented as Kris sighed. "Yeah I guess it's pretty cool. I mean, how many people have the ability of seeing duel spirits and be able to use the power of duel spirits do you hear of?" Thestalos the Fire Monarch showed up and crossed his arms. "You're the only one that has that kind of power, Kris." The young Prime's eyes went wide. "Wait. So there are other people who can see duel spirits and travel to the spirit world but I am the only one who can use the power of duel spirits?" she asked as she pointed to herself. The duel monsters nodded together.

Gagaga Girl appeared and hugged Kris and said, "You're also the only one that can use the Monarchs properly. Just look at how special you are! You're even the adopted daughter of a Prime!" with a cheery voice. There was a knock on her door. "Krisite? Are you talking to your imaginary friends again!?" It was Ratchet. Kris scowled. "No, Uncle Hatchet!" "What!?" "No, sir!" There was a 'humph' before the sound of pedes walking away from her room was heard. Gagaga Child laughed before asking, "You know what you should do?" Kris looked to the spirit. "What?" she asked curiously. "Dump glitter or do some prank involving glitter on the Hatchet." Kuraz came up behind Gagaga Child and smacked him upside the head. "Don't give her those kinds of ideas, Child. We are supposed to be good influences on her." "Is that why she just left the room?" Gagaga Girl said as she motioned to the open door. Delg the Dark Monarch appeared and placed a hand on Kuraz's shoulder. "Let the young duelist have her fun." "Says the Monarch of Darkness." Gagaga Child said as he laughed.
