Duel 2 – The Terror's Wrath

March 15th, 2116… 4:30 PM…

Riding Duels… duels that occur when two individuals ride on a type of vehicle such as a motorcycle or a hovercycle that is configured and modified for riding duels. Since the start of the 22nd century, Riding Duels have become a popular sport and as a result of this, a new generation of duelists emerged. Normally, Riding Duels would take place in a stadium that shares a similar fashion to a racetrack but not this one. A duel was taking place and it was about to be on the move.

"Alrighty then boy, I'll go first with this battle. I summon Chthonian Soldier (Attack: 1200/Defense: 1400) in attack mode!" Teinel said (Lifepoints: 4000, Hand: 5, Speed Counters: 1) as he summoned a monster that carried a large sword set for battle but since it was a riding duel, it hovered while the auto-pilot directed him through the area.

"I'll end my turn by setting one card face down and that's all. Let's see what you got." Teinel spoke (Hand: 4) which gave Dominic the opportunity to make his move and fortunately, it was a move to counterattack.

"My draw… I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (Attack: 1600/Defense: 1400) in attack mode!" Dominic replied (Lifepoints: 4000, Hand: 5, Speed Counters: 1) as he brought out a monster that Teinel had never seen before for it was a hero that used electricity and can give his enemies a shocking surge.

((Elemental Hero… what kind of card is that? Where did this kid get it from?)) Teinel thought as Dominic went on the attack and it would be a very strong attack too.

"Now my Sparkman attack his Soldier now! Static Shockwave!" Dominic shouted as his monster went on the attack unleashing a powerful electric attack that decimated Teinel's monster and a bit of lifepoints but things wouldn't be any easier on his end. (Teinel's Lifepoints: 3600)

"Now you've done it ya little worm. Ya see when my Chthonian Soldier is destroyed, you take damage equal to the same amount of damage I took. In other words, you also lose 400 lifepoints." Teinel replied as a sword remained and then went straight for Dominic hitting him in the process causing his lifepoints to drop as well.

"No matter. I'll end my turn by setting two cards face down. It's your turn now." Dominic spoke (Dominic's lifepoints: 3600, Hand: 3) as he set a bit of defense just in case but Teinel wasn't gonna go down without a fight.

Since the Riding Duel had both their vehicles set to auto-pilot, their respective computers monitored the environment and controlled their cycles hoping to not encounter any interference. With Teinel now making his move, the Riding Duel was gonna be anything but rough.

"It's my turn now and it seems now you are going to be down for the count. I summon Dark Blade (Attack: 1800/Defense: 1500) in attack mode!" spoke Tienel (Hand: 4, Speed Counters: 2) as he summoned a monster that possessed not one but two long blades set to dual wield against any and all enemies.

((Dark Blade!? That monster has a higher attack power? Looking at my hand, I can tell that things are only gonna go downhill from here.)) Dominic thought (Speed Counters: 2) as he his opponent had one more move he had to make.

"I've got another card I want to play and this one is gonna increase my artillery. From my hand, I activate a Speed Spell Rapid Summon (Speed Spell Card). Since I have 2 Speed Counters when I play this card, I can summon one additional monster to the field. Now I bring out The Bistro Butcher (Attack: 1800/Defense: 1000) in attack mode!" Tienel said (Hand: 2) as he brought forth another monster to the field and it was a butcher that had a hook for a hand and a large cutting knife meant for slicing fish and in this case… slicing lifepoints.

The duel was now heading towards the deepest portion of the suburbs as both duelists were about to reach the factory area of the lower suburbs. Tienel had two monsters with higher attack points and compared to Dominic's sole Sparkman, things weren't gonna be in his favor.

"Time to crush you ya little squirt. Dark Blade attack his Sparkman now with Dark Slash attack!" Teinel shouted as he turned his motorcycle sideways and ordered the attack.

Dark Blade raced straight for Hero Sparkman and using its two blades, it struck Sparkman with a slashing blow that reduced it to ribbons and in the process slightly reduced Dominic's lifepoints. With nothing to protect himself, he was about to be open for a serious direct attack but that would soon change. (Dominic's lifepoints: 3400)

"Your lifepoints are wide open ya parasite. Bistro Butcher attack his lifepoints directly with Bistrous Butching!" Teinel shouted but Dominic had a surprise up his sleeves.

"Not a chance because I activate this… Hero Signal (Trap Card)!" Dominic shouted as he activated a trap that caused an "H" mark to appear in the sky.

((Hero Signal? No, it can't be… can he be using… that deck?)) Teinel thought as Dominic continued with his move.

"This trap can only be activated whenever a monser is destroyed as a result of battle. I can then summon a monster from my hand or my deck an Elemental Hero monster that is 4 stars or less. From my deck, I special summon Elemental Hero Clayman (Attack: 800/Defense: 2000) in defense mode!" Dominic said as he accelerated his Duel Cycle further catching up to where Teinel was and seeing the new monster in play, he decided to not take any chances.

"I end my turn squirt. Something about you is striking a chord and I don't know why but it looks like that you are using something I never thought you would see." Teinel replied as Dominic made his move and as he accelerated his cycle further he was set to make a counterattack.

"My move now and time to get a little evil on your ass. I release my level-three Clayman in order to Advance Summon the level seven Evil Hero Malicious Edge (Attack: 2600/Defense: 1800) in attack mode!" Dominic said (Hand: 3, Speed Counters: 3) as he offered up Clayman and brought out a monster that was like Wolverine from the X-Men comics but was evil and had a sinister style for battle.

(Off-topic: Since Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's has begun in Japan, I'm following the new terms that will be stated here in this story. So that others can understand, Advance Summon is the equivalent as Tribute Summon and Release is the equivalent as Sacrifice so I hope it doesn't confuse anybody.)

"What? Malicious Edge? But you had one monster on the field in order to release… this has got to be a trick." Teinel replied in anger (Speed Counters: 3) as Dominic explained what was going on.

"Normally, I would have to release two monsters in order to Advance Summon this monster but since you at least have a monster on the field, all I had to do was release one monster and boom, now I got a high-

octane ass-kicking Evil Hero with the sole purpose of taking you down. Attack Malicious Edge! Take out that buttheaded Butcher with Needle Burst attack!" Dominic shouted as he revved his cycle to full force while Malicious Edge unleashed a barrage of needles striking the Bistro Butcher hard and in the process caused Tienel's lifepoints to decrease and his cycle to slow down a bit. (Teinel's lifepoints: 2800)

"How do you like that big boy? I'll end by setting one card face down and that is all." Dominic said (Hand: 2) as he set a face down and Teinel was angry with what he has just seen.

"Damn you… it can't be. You must be using that deck! Now I got more of a reason to add another charge and that is for thievery. It's my move now and I release my Dark Blade to Advance Summon the level six Chthonian Emperor Dragon (Attack: 2400/Defense: 1500) in attack mode!" Teinel shouted (Hand: 2, Speed Counters: 4) as he released his warrior in order to bring out a large dragon that let out a fierce roar and possessed unique strengths.

((Chthonian Emperor Dragon? That monster can't dent a scratch to my Malicious Edge. What's he up to? I got to stay alert. Who knows what he has planned.)) Dominic thought (Speed Counters: 4) as his opponent continued his turn.

"I'll set my two remaining cards face down and that ends it here. Let's see what you got ya suburb slime!" Teinel said as he added two cards face down on the field leaving his hand empty but that wasn't gonna stop Dominic from going on the offensive yet again. (Hand: 0)

"That's it? You release a weak wimp and bring out some badass dragon… that's disappointing. My move and I summon Evil Hero Infernal Gainer (Attack: 1600/Defense: 0) in attack mode." Dominic replied (Hand: 2, Speed Counters: 5) as he brought out a monster that was as malicious as Malicious Edge and possessed its own unique ability.

"Infernal Gainer!? That monster has an attack strength of 1600. What good can that do against my monster huh?" Teinel spoke afterwards (Speed Counters: 5) as Dominic explained why he brought Infernal Gainer out on the field.

"Infernal Gainer has a special effect. By removing this card from play, I can choose a Fiend-type monster on my side of the field and that same monster can attack twice. So I remove Infernal Gainer from play and give its strength to Malicious Edge." Dominic replied as Infernal Gainer vanished from the field and in the process, its strength went into Malicious Edge covering it with a dark and malevolent aura.

All Teinel could do at the moment was watch as his opponent was gonna go for a double assault. Both their Duel Cycles were already passing some of the houses in the suburbs and now they were heading toward one of the factories that have been functioning for many years and it was pouring smog through the suburb sky.

"Alright Malicious Edge attack his Chthonian Dragon now! Needle Burst!" Dominic shouted as Malicious Edge let out an evil chuckle and unleashed a barrage of needles striking Chthonian Emperor Dragon and destroying it causing Teinel's lifepoints to drop but the attack was far from over. (Teinel's lifepoints: 2600)

((If that kid wipes out my lifepoints with Malicious Edge, I'm done for. I can't be defeated now and I won't let that little punk put me down!)) Teinel thought as Dominic was about to unleash his so-called final blow.

"Time for the killing blow! Malicious Edge wipe out his lifepoints now! Needle Burst!" Dominic shouted as Malicious Edge unleashed a barrage of needles but Teinel had a surprise in store just waiting to be played.

"I'm not out of this duel yet! Not by a long shot! I activate a trap card and it's a special kind of trap too. Reveal my trap… Embodiment of Apophis (Trap/Monster Card, Attack: 1600/Defense: 1800)!" Teinel shouted as he activated a trap that brought forth a monster in the process.

The monster was of a dark creature holding a sword and shield and the rest of its body was comprised from a snake. It took up a defensive position as Malicious Edge continued with its attack launching deadly needles and striking the trap monster destroying it in the process. It was then that Teinel's lifepoints dropped and he began to wonder what was going on.

"Huh? Why are my lifepoints being affected? My monster was in defense mode so I shouldn't take any damage." Teinel said (Lifepoints: 1600) as Dominic provided an explanation why.

"Maybe you didn't notice my monster's second effect and it's a very useful one too. If my monster's attack points are higher than your monster's defense points then the difference is dealt directly to you as damage." Dominic replied as Teinel was simply shocked by witnessing what he had just heard.

"Since you have already attacked, it's my move now and I reveal my second face down card Rope of Life (Trap Card). This activates whenever one of my monsters is destroyed as a result of battle so by discarding my hand, I can bring back a monster from my graveyard and it gains an additional 800 attack points." Teinel replied (Hand: 0, Speed Counters: 6) as the trap caused the card to bring out a rope from a pit down below which mostly meant that it is hoping to get a monster from the graveyard.

((Not good at all. If he brings back one of his monsters, it can be stronger than my Malicious Edge. Good thing I got two face-down cards to protect me but he's about to bring out the heavy artillery.)) Dominic thought (Speed Counters: 6) as one of Teinel's monsters returned from the graveyard and in this case, it was a large dragon that Dominic had defeated once before.

"I bring back my Chthonian Emperor Dragon and thanks to the Rope of Life, it gets an 800 attack point boost!" Teinel shouted as his revived monster roared signaling the newfound strength it attained. (Chthonian Emperor Dragon's Attack: 3200)

"Oh no, now its stronger than my Malicious Edge… by 600 points that is." Dominic replied but Teinal had another plan in mind and it would mean ultimate destruction for his opponent.

"If you think I'm gonna attack now, think again. Time to activate my Dragon's special power… activate Gemini Summon!" Teinel shouted as a beam of light came from the sky and struck the monster causing it to be engulfed in a white aura.

"Gemini Summon? What is that and why is your monster covered in some sort of aura to begin with?" Dominic replied as Teinel sped up explaining the effect of the Gemini Summon.

"You see my Chthonian Emperor Dragon is a Gemini-type monster which means if I unleash a Gemini Summon, I can activate its effect and its effect differs per Gemini monster. In the case of Chthonian Emperor Dragon, by doing a Gemini Summon its effect allows me to attack you twice per turn. Too bad though because this duel is so going to end. Chthonian Emperor Dragon attack! Obliterate Malicious Edge with Chthonian Flare!" Teinel shouted as he sped up ahead of Dominic which caused the monster to unleash a powerful and destructive blast causing Malicious Edge to take the full force of the attack and in the process take out some of his lifepoints to boot. (Dominic's lifepoints: 2800)

"No my Malicious Edge… if Chthonian Emperor Dragon attacks me again, I'm gonna get creamed unless…" Dominic spoke as Teinel became hesitant in destroying his opponent no matter what it would take.

"This battle ends now! Chthonian Emperor Dragon wipe out his lifepoints now! Chthonian Flare!" Teinel shouted as his monster was about to unleash the final blow but Dominic had a surprise up his sleeve.

"Sorry but I'm not gonna let that happen no matter what it would take. I activate a trap! Go Soul Rope (Trap Card)! This trap lets me summon a new monster to replace the one I just lost… once I give up 1000 lifepoints that is so now I choose from my deck this monster… Dandylion (Attack: 300/Defense: 300) in defense mode!" Dominic replied afterwards (Lifepoints: 1800) as he brought forth a monster that looked like a flower taking up a defensive position.

Chthonian Emperor Dragon unleashed a powerful flare attack destroying Dandylion but not before its special effect kicked in leaving behind two little monsters that are almost the size of fluffs. Teinel was shocked even further as he couldn't finish off Dominic which gave him a bit of relief.

"My Dandylion's special effect kicked in so when you destroyed it, these two little fellows come into play also known as Fluff Tokens (Attack: 0/Defense: 0) and since you already made your attack, I say you end your turn right?" Dominic spoke as Teinel kept himself silent seeing that his turn had already came to an end.

"Alrighty now, my move. I don't got anything good so I will set one card face down and that ends my turn." Dominic said as he realized that his options were very limited (Hand: 2, Speed Counters: 7) giving Teinel the opportunity to unleash another assault with his Gemini monster.

"Time now to make my move! Too bad for you pal because I'm gonna end this right now. I summon this to the field in attack move so say hello to my Gemini Lancer (Attack: 1800/Defense: 1400) in attack mode." Teinel replied afterwards (Hand: 0, Speed Counters: 8) as he summoned another Gemini monster to the field who was a Sea Serpent that carried a jousting-like sword on one hand and a jousted-trident on the other.

((Another Gemini monster? Too bad he can't Gemini Summon it or else I'd really be in trouble. That's at least a relief.)) Dominic thought (Speed Counters: 8) as Teinel would go on the attack.

"Time to crush you worm. Chthonian Emperor Dragon double attack! Destroy his two pathetic fluffs now!" He shouted as his Chthonian Emperor Dragon unleashed two attacks taking out his opponent's only defenses leaving Dominic wide open for a final attack.

((Oh no. So much for my last ditch effort… I got nothing to protect my lifepoints. This truly is over for me.)) Dominic thought as he realized that he couldn't do anything before Teinel as he would unleash one final assault.

"I see the looks in your eyes pal that its over and I'm gonna sure that I take you into custody properly. Go my Gemini Lancer! End this duel right now… attack his lifepoints directly with Joust Trident Slash!" Teinel shouted as he had an angry look watching as his monster ready to make the final blow but something was about to happen… something that only Dominic would witness.

Time began to slow down as everything around Dominic began to fade into an unexplained darkness. All that was remaining was just him in his customized Duel-Riding hovercycle which for some reason stopped. He then got up and look around to discover that time has stopped and he was seeing himself about to be hit by the final attack of Teinel's Gemini Lancer. It was then he hears some footsteps and that made Dominic turn around and see someone that no one would expect to see.

"It's strange isn't it… the fact that all hope would end all with just one move and the next thing you know… that's it." An unknown person said as he took a look at Dominic with a calm smile on his face.

"It… it can't be. You… you must be…" Dominic replied as he took one good look at the fellow he was somehow seeing as if he had saw a ghost.

The fellow was a man at his mid-20s, had brown hair, blue eyes and large buckteeth while his outfit consisted of a red buttoned shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. Dominic felt like he had seen a ghost and in this case he did… the ghost of a legendary duelist or in this case, the ghost of his great-great-great grandfather.

"You don't need to say it… besides, you already know because it is in your blood. Is this how my legacy is supposed to end with this? No… not like that." The fellow spoke as Dominic provided him with an explanation of the situation he was in.

"What could I do? I'm on the verge of losing this duel and getting my butt in trouble with the law. Tell me, what can I do?" Dominic replied in a harsh tone as the person looked at him with calm eyes.

"Don't give up… I was in that very spot so many years ago and you would have no idea the situation I had. Though the odds were against me, I stood my ground and eventually came out on top. Looking at you, I'd say you are in that same predicament only this time its much worse." Said the individual in which Dominic still tried to wonder what he should do.

"Don't give up? With 1800 lifepoints left and me being on the verge of losing that duel, yeah right! Come on now… give me one good reason why I shouldn't to begin with and one more good reason why I carry this last name to begin with. It's almost as if I've been cursed with it somehow." Dominic replied and then that person came closer to him and then slapped him hard in the face giving him a hell of a wake-up call.

"Watch your tongue, boy. There are many reasons why you shouldn't give up and there is one good reason why you bear the last name 'Turner'. You carry a family legacy with that name that has been going through for more than a century and even now, its in your blood calling out to you and saying "don't give up, there is hope". Although you are dueling right now just to survive, there is more at stake than you know." The fellow said as he looked at Dominic and smiled seeing as if he was expecting this to happen.

"What do you mean by that? I already know that Neo Dimmsdale has been split between the rich and the poor but… what do you mean just now that I quite can't comprehend." Dominic replied as the person stood silent not saying a word as if he knows but then he starts to speak.

"I can't tell you because even though you are a fourth-generation Turner, you must figure this out on your own. If I were you keep your chin up, believe in your heart and knowing this, you can do it. I'm counting on you… make me and my family legacy proud. We are all watching you above so don't let us down." The person said as light immediately engulfed him and he was back in the riding duel on the verge of losing and Teinel chuckling with an evil laughter.

"Ha ha ha, say good night ya little shrimp because this is over. I hope you don't mind sleeping in a jail cell." Teinel said as he cackled with an evil laugh having Gemini Lancer gearing up to unleash a direct attack but Dominic now with renewed determination isn't gonna let it happen.

"Sorry officer but I'm not gonna be sleeping in a jail cell tonight because this duel is far from over. Reveal trap card Call of the Haunted (Trap Card)! This trap allows me to bring back one monster to the field in attack mode and I bring forth Evil Hero Malicious Edge!" Dominic replied as Malicious Edge returned to the field gearing up for a second round.

Since it was too late to call back the attack, Malicious Edge unleashed a barrage of needles that struck Gemini Lancer and took out some of Teinel's lifepoints in the process. (Teinel's lifepoints: 800) He wasn't pleased at how things were gonna go and unfortunately, it wasn't now that Dominic has regained his confidence back and is determined to achieve victory.

"Looks like I'd say that this duel is about to come to an end right here, right now! First things first, since two turns have passed since I've removed Infernal Gainer from play, he returns to the field set for battle once again." Dominic spoke (Hand: 3, Speed Counters: 9) as he looked at the field seeing that the opportunity to achieve victory was now as Infernal Gainer returned to the field after a two turn absence.

"It still doesn't matter because even with those two monsters on the field, my Chthonian Emperor Dragon will make dents on them both with one blow. You are simply wasting your turn with this bullshit." Teinel replied (Speed Counters: 9) as the both of their cycles made a turn as they continued their trek to the factory with the exit in sight.

"Who said that I was using those two to battle for they weren't my purpose to begin with. I reveal my face down card and its both a trap and a monster… Metal Reflect Slime (Trap/Monster Card, Attack: 0/Defense: 3000)!" Dominic shouted as his trap brought forth something that was completely made out of plasma and yet it would take shape of anything that it wants.

"Metal Reflect Slime eh? Very impressive with its 3000 defense points? If you think you are gonna cower at even more defense, then you are more gutless." Teinel replied but Dominic kept calm and knew that he had a reason why he brought out a third monster to the field and the answer would be obvious.

"Who said I was gutless because I won't need them… I release my three monsters from the field; my level seven Malicious Edge, my level three Infernal Gainer and my level ten Metal Reflect Slime to advance summon the level eight Gilford the Lightning (Attack: 2800/Defense: 1400)!" Dominic shouted (Hand: 2) as his three monsters were released to bring forth a monster who came out with a very dramatic entrance.

Both their Duel Cycles were out of the factory and now back on solid ground as the skies began to darken with emanating yet evil clouds. Lightning began to gather from those clouds and it was then that lightning hit the ground where they rode and out came a monster that held a long sword and let out a roar that can be heard for miles.

((Gilford the Lightning? He sacrificed three monsters just for that? Its still not strong enough to take down my Chthonian Emperor Dragon that has been Gemini Summoned plus came back with an 800 attack point boost. He just made my day even more easier than I thought it would be.)) Teinel thought but Dominic had his own reasons why he brought him out and fortunately, it would be the only way to achieve victory… no matter the cost.

"If you thought that I was using that monster for the sole purpose of attacking, you are so damn wrong. There was a reason why I sacrificed three monsters to begin with and here's why! Gilford, activate your special ability now!" Dominic shouted as Gilford took out his sword and let out a destructive lightning blast that caused Chthonian Emperor Dragon to be destroyed in the process.

Teinel was horrified at what he saw and with his monster now hitting the graveyard once again, all he could do was watch as Dominic was gearing up for a final assault. With a mere 800 lifepoints left, all Teinel can do now watch as there was nothing he can do.

"I see you are silent huh? That's just sad because if Gilford the Lightning was summoned by releasing three monsters, I can destroy every monster on your side of the field. Since you only have your Chthonian Emperor Dragon, I'd say that's the end of you. Time to finish this! Gilford the Lightning attack his lifepoints directly! Lightning Slash!" Dominic shouted as Gilforrd let out a powerful roar while gearing himself up to unleash a final blow.

Dominic sped up as Gilford raced straight for Teinel and unleashed a powerful strike that wiped out the rest of his lifepoints. (Teinel's lifepoints: 0) But if that isn't enough, teinel Duel Cycle began to overheat and steam immediately came out from all sections of the cycle with a red sign signaling "DEFEATED". Teinel moved his cycle hoping to not cause an accident while in the process had a look of anger and disgust seeing that he had lost.

"How… how can this be? How did I lose to this… suburb scum? This is a trick!" Teinel shouted as Dominic came closer to him and having a serious attitude looks at him and tells him what he feels.

"That was a tough duel and knowing you, you put up a good fight. I can waste my time and diss you saying that you think of us lower-class like scum but I'm not because that would be pointless. As agreed, you promise to forget everything that happened including this duel and crossing paths with me. I'll say this though that if you want a rematch, I'm in but I won't just beat you… I'll crush you in the name of my family legacy and my blood! See ya around." Dominic replied as he ran off in his hovercycle in which he headed off for home leaving Teinel and his cool downed cycle to stay by.

Teinel still had a look of anger in his eyes and he was completely angry by what had happened and knowing how evil antagonists could be, he vowed for revenge. Teinel then went off back to the central city while Dominic went home in which he told Stefan everything that had happened. As he went up to his room, he lied on his bed and took a good look at both decks; a deck meant for Speed World duels and the other for Normal duels. He took a good look at all the cards that was there and realized that those cards had some sort of meaning. If that wasn't enough, the same person that he met before in his mind came back to see him again and that's when things got more unexpected.

"Congratulations, Dominic… I see that you won the duel. I'm proud of you and so is our family." The voice spoke as Dominic took a good look at him and the most ironic thing is that he was the only person that can see or hear him.

"It's you again… what are you doing here? Am I seeing things or are you just coming back to haunt me." Dominic replied as the voice then tells him something that would make him understand.

"Maybe its because you are the only one that can see me. How strange isn't it… I've lived my life and I've seen my share of things that you call strange but yet… I can't quietly sleep in my grave along with my wife because of events that had happened after I was gonee. So basically, we have a job to do." The voice said as Dominic wondered what he meant by that.

"What do you mean 'we'? I didn't ask for your help when you came by out of nowhere telling me all this fuckin bullcrap and now you want my help. Give me two reasons why you need my help to begin with man because for a dead guy, you sure do say a lot of shit." Dominic spoke in which the fellow looked at him with an upsetting and disgusted expression so much so that he then gave him another slap in the face only this time Dominic blocked it.

"For a 17-year old teenager, you sure talk like one especially with a mouth that needs some cleaning. You want two reasons? Fine, I'll give you two reasons right here. You noticed that the city you live in now used to be a place where the rich and the poor coexisted." The voice spoke as he explained his reasons hoping for Dominic to understand what occurred.

"I did notice that the city I live in is now split into two but I didn't know that the city used to be as one." Dominic replied as the person continued on explaining.

"Neo Dimmsdale wasn't always like this… when I became the Duel Monsters World champion which was so long ago, it was the start of a new age for the old Dimmsdale. The new age would be the start of a co-existing between the rich and the poor and it lasted that way even after I got off dueling for a while." The individual spoke as Dominic wondered what happened next.

"I heard that you became a hero after you stepped down from dueling for a while. Is that true?" Dominic replied as the person continued to explain what had occurred.

"Yep, I was a hero for many years and even then I still kept my legacy alive. I spent the remainder of my life helping my family and I became a father to twins, grandfather to six and a great-grandfather to four. I don't know what happened after I passed on which heads on to my second reason. You notice now that the city I used to live in has divided itself into two?" the person said as Dominic provided a quick and rapid explanation to what he just stated.

"Yes, I noticed… Neo Dimmsdale has become a city where it is now split into two; the upper cities where the rich and upper-class reside and live their lavish lives, the lower suburbs where all the lower and middle-class people reside and where the factories and junkyards are built and the central city where it has became a barrier between these two sections." Dominic replied as the fellow smiled seeing that he did his homework properly and carefully.

"I see you've done your homework well but nonetheless, this was not what I had visioned. Anyway, I need your help to find out how this has happened. I can't force you right away so I'm gonna give you a bit of time alright. I will be watching and hopefully I will see you again soon so stay out of trouble kid. We will meet again…" the voice spoke as Dominic had one last thing to tell him.

"Wait, before you go… can you tell me who you are? I need to know… I swear it. I need to know." Dominic replied as the person said one last thing.

"You should know who I am… but if you don't, I'll tell you regardless. I was the Undisputed Duel Monsters World Champion and responsible for bringing together Dimmsdale's two worlds as one… my name is Timmy Turner. I hope we'll meet again Dominic… my great-great grandson…" Timmy's spirit spoke as he vanished and Dominic knew that he had saw someone from the great beyond.

Was it a fact? Was it a fluke? It's neither because he had just met a legendary duelist who now no longer resides on this planet. What was his purpose to being here? Why couldn't he rest in peace like any other person and what did he mean by seeing Neo Dimmsdale as a place that was not what he had visioned? It's too early to figure it out but for now, all Dominic could do and wait and find out. The night would soon hit the skies above Neo Dimmsdale and now it was only the beginning… the beginning of an adventure… to discover the truth.

(Off-topic: The narration for the next chapter will switch between Stefan and Dominic. Just thought it's a need for a change. That is all.)

On the next Fairly OddFuture: They say that what can't kill you can only make you stronger… that's the case with me. It looks like those two punks that I beat up yesterday are back but it looks like they are not alone because they brought their big bad boss and I don't think that's suiting up with me. What? They want to duel? That's fine with me because I'll take them on and put them in their place. Next time on Fairly OddFuture… An Insect Trap. God, I hate those bugs… I swear I'm gonna have to give these guys one big ass can of bug spray so I can exterminate them. It's time to duel!
