Chapter 3: Monica's First Duel

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh 5ds or Digimon. I do own Eric, Monica and Ryan.

It was night and everyone was in the apartment. It normally was spacey as Eric remembered it but it was now nearly crowded with his two teammates, his Commander, Trudge, Yusei and his two siblings. He knew it could've been worse and hoped his parent's wouldn't come home demanding on why a Satellite was in their house, which he didn't even know the reason. Everyone was at the table in separate chairs, the Data Squad excluding Marcus sat at one side of the. Marcus sat at the left side of the table while Trudge sat at the opposite end of the table. The twins and Yusei sat on a couch facing the Data Squad.

With a nod to his friends Eric began "First of all before I tell my story, let's reintroduce ourselves. As you know I'm Eric a member of the DATA Squad."

The girl with the silver and white shirt sat up "I'm Monica. One of Eric's teammates and friends."

The boy right on the left of Eric stood up "I'm Ryan, also a member of the Data Squad and teammate of Monica and Eric."

At this Marcus watched as his three recruits sat down then he stepped up "Well…I'm Marcus Damon, Champion Street Fighter from Tokyo. And also Eric's, Monica's, and Ryan's Data Squad Commander."

He sat down and Trudge stood up "I don't think I need to introduce myself to some people here" at this he stared at Yusei "But I'm Officer Trudge of Sector Security."

Trudge then sat down and the girl stood up "I'm Ruka, Eric's younger sister" she then pointed to Rua "This is my twin brother Rua."

"I was going to introduce myself sis" Rua muttered as Ruka sat down she turned to him "Save it bro."

Rua nodded as Yusei stood up "I guess I'm last. My name is Yusei Fudo, and I'm from Satellite."

Marcus turned to the Data Squad "Now's the time."

Everyone excluding the Data Squad gave each other questionable looks as the Data Squad reached down and pulled out devices that looked like cell phones.

"Those are just cell phones" Trudge said.

"Not ordinary cell phones" Marcus said and with a nod the Data Squad raised their devices high.

"Agumon realize" Marcus shouted.

"Coronamon realize" Eric shouted.

"Lunamon realize" Monica shouted.

"Dorumon realize" Ryan shouted.

And too everyone's eyes the devices started sending our data particles and then a small orange dinosaur, a lion cub, a white bunny and a strange purple and white creatures stood in front of their proper Data Squad friends.

At the sight of the lion cub the twins begin to remember him as the creature turned to them "Long time no see, Ruka and Rua."

"Sunmon?" Ruka asked.

Coronamon nodded then turned and introduce itself "I used to be Sunmon, now I'm Coronamon. Eric's Digimon partner"

The white bunny spoke "I'm Lunamon, Lady Monica's Digimon partner."

"I'm Dorumon, Ryan's Digimon partner" the purple and white creature said.

"And I'm Agumon, the Boss's Digimon" the orange Dinosaur said turning to Marcus in revering to boss.

Ruka and Rua ran up to Coronamon "You were with brother the whole entire time of his disappearance?"

"Why yes, it was my honor to do so" Coronamon said.

Eric sighed "As you know I am part of the Digimon Data Squad."

"Digimon?" Trudge asked.

Marcus answered "Look to Agumon, Coronamon, Lunamon and Dorumon to references to Digimon. The word Digimon is short for Digital Monster."

"So" Marcus said as he knelled down to Dorumon "Where do you Digimon live?"

"The Digital World" Dorumon said.

"Digital World?" Yusei asked.

"The home to all of the Digimon" Marcus said "A place Agumon and I've been protecting for the last ten years."

Eric then spoke up "Yes, Digimon give up a signal wherever they are…That very same signal increases per Digimon level. When Coronamon as a Sunmon he was in his In-training level form. The Signal for In-training Digimon is low and Goodwin wouldn't have noticed. However I knew that it was only a matter of time before Sunmon would evolve into Coronamon. And then the energy spike would be big enough to gain the attention of Rex Goodwin."

"I see" Officer Trudge said "So that's why you ran away without a trace."

Eric nodded "It wasn't an easy decision let me tell you that. However Coronamon has been with me and is a friend to me…I didn't want to know what Rex Goodwin would've done to him when he noticed Coronamon."

Yusei sighed "I would've done the same thing for a friend."

Ruka even agreed "Wasn't it Rex Goodwin that threw you into the facility just from coming in here Yusei?"

"Yes" Yusei said "But there is more to Eric's story right?"

Eric nodded "Yes, Yusei, there is. Not only would Goodwin get the signal but surely DATS would've also. They would've came for me sooner or later to join them…So instead of having Rex Goodwin on my case and having DATS having to bail me out. Coronamon and I decided to go searching for DATS. We found it and as you can see we are members of the Digimon Data Squad…Data Squad for short."

"Just what is the Data Squad?" Yusei asked.

Marcus answered for Eric "I can answer that. DATS also known as the Digimon Data Squad is an organization that is in charge of maintaining peace between our world and the Digimon home world. The Digital World while also reducing crimes that people may do with a Digimon."

"So in other words" Trudge told Yusei "They are pretty much like us Sector Security officers."

Marcus nodded "Yes, but only difference is DATS is a worldwide organization. You're Sector Security is only in charge of Satellite and New Domino City."

"True" Trudge muttered "Which means by all means Data Squad is above Rex Goodwin's authority…Get busted in messing in between the Digital World's and our world's affair and you'll have to answer to them. But wait New Domino City hasn't had Digimon attack this place."

"They don't have to" Monica said "Our first HQ building is located in Tokyo! They discovered that people in this city are committing crimes by using Digimon!"

Trudge gulped "Then those people don't know who their dealing with…Now that I know Sector Security has its hands full."

"Not only that Trudge" Eric began "But they also have Data Squad to deal with…If there is going to be two police officer agencies in New Domino City. We have to agree that Sector Security deals with the usual crimes and Data Squad deals with the crimes people are doing with Digimon as well as helping out defeating Digimon that might want to destroy this city."

"Wait two agencies in New Domino City? Trudge asked.

Marcus nodded "Yes, which is our current mission to build a new HQ in New Domino City…Apparently crimes by using a Digimon are huge in this city, and my DATS squad was sent to stop it."

"Well, I guess that would work" Trudge said "You have the higher ranking problems."

Marcus sighed "Yes, but I'm stuck sitting on the sidelines. Unlike last time this happened in Tokyo."

"Come on boss, we might be needed once a very powerful Digimon appears" Agumon assured "Like a Mega Level Digimon."

At this all the Data Squad turned fearfully at their Commander whom nodded "Yes, which would be a bad thing if a Mega Level arrived."

"But you do realize that people of this city aren't easily going to confess to the crimes" Yusei began "Even if you have reasonable doubt you can't go in there and arrest them."

"I would" Trudge said.

"Of course you would" Yusei muttered "Cause you think you can get away with it being Sector Security."

Before Trudge could retaliate Eric nodded "Yes, which is why this Data Squad has Duel Disk."

"But you are the only one with the Duel Runner" Trudge turned to Eric.

"True but who can afford a duel runner if you are committing crimes?" Marcus asked .

"True" Trudge said agreeing.

"Not only that but Eric is our leader…Commander Thomas is giving Duel Runners to the leader of each Data Squad."

"Wouldn't it be Marcus then?" Yusei asked.

Marcus turned to Yusei "Nope, I don't count. I'm only the one that keeps them straight."

"So you are just like my police chief" Trudge said causing Marcus to nod.

Hearing that all of the Data Squad had Duel Disks Rua turned to Eric "Eric, I challenge you to a duel!"

"You'd get owned Rua" Coronamon spoke up the obvious truth.

"Hey Coronamon whatever happened to family support?" Rua asked the Digimon.

"What's family?" Coronamon asked.

This caused everyone in the building to fall to the ground as Ruka said after recovering "Don't tell you Digimon don't have families."

"We don't" Lunamon said.

Ruka looked at Eric whom nodded at her and she understood "Family is what you would call people who love you and care for you. You can't tell me you haven't had something in your life like that."

"I can we Digimon aren't even raised by a family" Coronamon said.

Rua sighed and turned to his brother "Please brother let's duel."

Eric turned to Monica who had a very bad feeling at the smirk as he spoke up "Duel Monica, she's new to dueling."

"Why me?" Monica asked.

Trudge answered "Because you'll never know how to duel if you don't start now Monica. You can't always rely on Eric to duel every time there is someone that is committing crimes with a Digimon."

"True" Ryan said "I'll need a duel too."

Rua turned as Eric explained to him "If you beat Monica in a duel then I'll accept the duel against you."

"You mean it?" Rua asked and after Ruka spoke up "Rua, brother has never lied to us before, why should he start now?"

"Good point" Rua said he turned to Monica "So will you accept my duel?"

"I don't know how to but sure" Monica said.

"I'll be rooting for you Lady Monica" Lunamon said.

"Alright!" Rua shouted "Follow me!"

Eric turned to Yusei as he asked "So what's exactly has been going on, Rua's never asked me to duel him before."

Ruka ran up to him with an invitation "Because of this brother."

Yusei nodded and showed Eric his own "It's the Fortune Cup. Rua is entering for your sister."

Eric nodded "Come on, I've got to see Monica's first duel."

"Did you at least give her some tips?" Yusei asked.

"Uh sir I did" Coronamon said causing Eric to smile "OF course Lunamon and Dorumon wouldn't leave you alone after I defeated Marcus's GeoGreymon."

Coronamon nodded "Yep, I believe Monica was listening so she should at least know something about it."

Yusei smiled "Even if so, I'll teach her to."

Everyone was outside watching as the two strolled up.

"Alright Monica!" Rua announced "I want this to be an exciting duel…So let's see what your deck has."

"This may be my first time Rua but I won't let that be a factor!" Monica said This is for Eric.

"Alright" Rua said.

"Let's duel!" Monica and Rua said.

(Monica's Life Points: 4000)

(Rua's Life Points: 4000)

"Lady's first!" Monica said.

Rua nodded "Alright."

Monica looked at her hand "First things first I draw!"

(Monica's hand: United We Stand, Airknight Parahath, Luminous Spark, Spell Binding Circle, and Arcana Force I- The Magician)

"First I play the Field Spell Card Luminous Spark!" Monica announced.

Soon the field changed to bright white light with a shadow of a monster.

Rua looked around "A field spell."

"Not just a field spell card" Monica said "Now all light attribute monsters gain an additional 500 ATK points and their DEF is lowered by 400."

"So this is just like-" Marcus said to Eric.

"Yes, Marcus" Eric said "Just like my Molten Destruction but only used for a different attribute which I hope is light cause if she doesn't then that is a bad move."

Yusei nodded "That's true but what is the case that happens?"

"Very slim" Eric said "After I got Molten Destruction, I made sure to get fire attribute monsters. But Commander Thomas gave Monica and Ryan their decks so you don't know what they have."

"If a Commander gave them a deck then the chances of them not being all light monsters is going to be a little higher" Yusei said.

Marcus smiled "Don't worry I'm sure Thomas didn't make any mistake"

Eric shot Marcus a look "I'm sure Thomas knows what he was doing."

"Let's hope so" Eric said.

"Nice Field Spell" Rua said "But is it going to help you?"

"It should" Monica replied as she picked up another card "I Summon my Arcana Force I-the Magician!"

A weird alien like magician came out onto the field (ATK: 1100, DEF: 1100)

"Nice monster" Rua said.

"And hopefully it's going to be better" Monica replied as the card began to spin.

"What's this for?" Rua asked.

"Simple whatever happens next depends on the results" Monica replied.

The card stopped spinning right side up! At this Monica smiled "Good now my monster gains this special ability now when you activate a spell card Arcana Force I-the Magician it's attack doubles."

"Doubles well it's only going to be twenty-two hundred attack points" Rua said.

"I'd double check your math kid" Monica said "Because my monster just happens to be a light attribute monster."

At this Rua's eyes widened as he remembered her Field Spell card's effect and soon enough the monster's attack points rose by 500 but lost 400 DEF points.

(Atk: 1600 DEF: 700)

"I place one card face down and end my turn" Monica said placing her trap card face down.

"Alright" Rua announced drawing a card "And ladies and gentlemen watching this it's my turn I draw!"

(Rua's hand: Morphtronic Celphone, Morphtronic Radion, Level Mirroring, Remake Puzzle, Limiter Removal, and Morphtransition)

"First I play Morphtronic Celphone!" Rua announced.

A monster that looked like a huge cell phone appeared (ATK: 100, DEF: 100)

"Why play that?" Monica asked "That doesn't have enough attack to defeat my monster."

"I played him for his special ability. You see Monica, all of my Morphtronic monsters have special abilities depending on what mode there in. Now Celphone randomly dials up and selects a number of cards and if anyone them happens to be a level four or below monster I get to summon them! Now dial on!"

The monster then began to dial up a number of cards and stopped on the number three.

Rua drew three cards and smiled "Alright! The last card is a Morphtronic Magnen! I summon him in Defense mode!"

The monster was summoned and it looked like a huge magnet (ATK: 800: DEF: 800)

Rua cleared his throat at puzzled Monica looked at him wondering why he played such another weak card.

Yusei smiled as he turned to Eric "She's getting a real lesson in."

"Apparently Coronamon didn't answer why people would play weaker monsters."

"No sir" Coronamon said "They never asked."

Rua answered "Now if you want to declare an attack on my monsters, because Morphtronic Magnen is in DEF mode you have to declare an attack on him."

"Hmm" Monica said to herself trying to think of a strategy I get it now he's trying to get his field set up so I can't attack him.

"I place two cards face down and end my turn!" Rua said.

Monica nodded "Alright my turn, I draw!"

She looked down as the card she drew was Shield Crush.

"I activate the Spell Card Shield Crush and with this card I can destroy one monster that is on your side of the field in Def mode!"

And with this she played the card to destroy Rua's Morphtronic Magnen.

"Oh-no" Rua said as his magnet monster was destroyed.

"That's the way Monica!" Marcus shouted.

"Oh- yes it is" Monica said turning to Rua "Now I summon Airknight Parahath to the field in ATK mode!"

A knight wearing blue armor and white wings appeared on the field (ATK: 1900, DEF: 1400)

At this Rua watched as Monica's own monster's ATK points doubled as Monica replied "Oh and because I played a spell card the attack of my Arcana Force I-the Magician doubles! Oh and because Airknight Parahath is a Light monster he gains 500 more attack points"

(Arcana Force I- The Magician ATK: 3200, DEF: 400, Airknight Parahath 2300)

"Now attack Magician attack Celphone!" Monica ordered.

The monster attacked but Rua shouted "I activate my Remake Puzzle trap card. Which allows me to destroy my Morphtronic Monster then allows me to summon another weaker Morphtronic monster to the field in DEF mode! So I destroy my Morphtronic Celphone! In order to summon another Morphtronic Magnen in DEF mode!"

This stopped Arcana Force I's attack as the target monster was destroyed and another magnet appeared.

"Doesn't matter" Monica declared "Cause now I can attack with my Airknight Parahath oh and when he attacks a monster in defense mode and his attack is higher than your monster's attack points the battle damage is calculated.

She ordered her last monster to attack but Rua played his second trap card "You fell for it I play my Morphtransition trap card which allows me to summon another Morphtronic monster from my deck and I'll choose a second Morphtronic Magnen!"

Another magnet appeared and this time the two magnets formed an unbreakable barrier.

"Admit it Monica that was incredible! When there is just one Morphtronic Magnen you can only target him but when there is two Magnens on the field you can't declare any attack! Which means I'm invisible!"

At this all the Digimon sweat dropped as Ruka sighed out "Don't you mean invincible?"

"Very well" Monica said "Turn end."

Yusei turned to Eric "I know most fire Attribute monsters can counteract this ability."

"Yes, most of my monsters can inflict damage to him but Monica has a high chance of winning."

Yusei nodded "I see you and I think alike when we duel. And also I see you treat your friends with care…That's the same thing I do."

Eric nodded "By the way what's your story?"

Yusei turned "Hmm?"

"What brings you to New Domino City?"

"Oh Jack Atlas actually."

"What he do?" Eric asked.

"He stool a Duel Runner from me and stool a card from me it was the only way to escape from Satellite without Trudge noticing."

"Hmm" Eric said nodding.

They turned their attention to the duel where Rua was beginning to think now.

Now that I got my field set up the way I want it I have to attack her but her monsters have so much attack that any attack would send me sprawling and if I play a spell card her Arcana Force monster will have its attack points double.

"Alright it's my turn" Rua announced "I draw!"

He drew a card "Alright now I summon my Morphtronic Remoten to the field!"

Another monster appeared on the field this time in which looked like a remote. (ATK: 300 DEF: 1200)

"Now from my hand I activate a spell card…Level Mirroring!" Rua shouted "And with this spell card I can make one of my monster gain the same level as one of your own monsters. Since both monsters are level four I pick your Airknight Parahath and one of my Morphtronic Magnen!"

Sure enough the level of one of the Morphtronic Magnen shot up to level four.

"And now it's time to Synchro summon. I tuner my Morphtronic Remoten with my level four Morphtronic Magnen in order to Synchro Summon my best monster. Please meet my Power Tool Dragon!"

Soon a huge metallic dragon appeared with strange weapons for hands appeared. (ATK: 2300, DEF: 2500)

"Now I activate Power Tool Dragon's special ability" Rua announced "Once per turn I can shuffle my deck and add an equip spell card to my hand.

As he was talking his deck was being shuffled and he added a card to his hand "Perfect now I activate the Equip Spell Card Double Tool C&D!"

"This equip spell card can only be equipped to Power Tool Dragon and during my turn it gives him 1000 more ATK during the battle Phase!"

"Now Power Tool Dragon attack Airknight Parahath!"

The dragon began to charge as the equip spell card was attached to it but Rua had another thing in mind "I activate the quick play spell card Limiter Removal! Now all of my machine type monsters have their attack points doubled but at the end of the battle phase they are destroyed."

"So that means" Monica began then she got it as Power Tool Dragon's attack increased by 1000 then doubled "Great."

(Power Tool Dragon ATK: 6600, DEF: 2500)

The huge dragon made its way to Airknight Parahath.

"Not so fast!" Monica declared "I activate the continuous trap card Spell Binding Circle!"

"Oh-no!" Rua shouted as Monica played her trap card which stopped the attack of Power Tool Dragon with ease.

"Another negate attack card?" Marcus asked.

"Nope" Trudge answered.

Monica answered Marcus's question "Thanks to this trap card and as long as it's out your monster is unable to attack any of my monsters and can't change battle Positions unless of a card effect!"

"Fine" Rua said "I end my turn."

"But don't forget Rua" Monica said "Due to the effect of your Limiter Remover card all of your monsters on your side of the field are destroyed!"

Rua nodded "True."

That is when all of the monsters were destroyed but Power Tool Dragon stayed on the field.

"But that's impossible it was supposed to be destroyed" Monica said.

Rua nodded "And that's true but Power Tool Dragon's second special ability allows me to remove the equip spell card from it in order to prevent its destruction."

"Alright" Monica began "It's my turn! I draw!"

She looked down as she got the card it was a Tuner monster!

"I summon the Fiend Roar Deity Beast Rubilarda Tuner monster!" she announced and another monster appeared this one looked like weird hawk and a little red insect was on it (ATK: 1100, DEF: 800)

"Wow" Yusei began "A level four tuner…Don't see much of those."

"Agreed" Eric began then he smiled "Rua's in for a treat…Now Monica can Synchro Summon a level eight Synchro summon."

"Now I tune my level four Fiend Roar Deity Beast Rubilarda with my Airknight Parahath!"

The two monsters then appeared together and the Tuner scanned Airknight Parahath.

"By the powers of the heavens the light will shine upon the truth…Come forward Light End Dragon!"

A perfectly white dragon appeared. It had a gold emerald chest and a golden ring around its head. (ATK: 2600, DEF: 2100)

"So you too have a dragon!" Rua shouted "Well then bring her on!"

"Just remember Rua" Monica said smiling you brought it on yourself! Oh and don't forget my Syanchro summon is a light attribute monster!"

(Atk: 3100, DEF 1700)

"Not bad" Rua said.

"Oh it's going to be worse kid" Monica said "I play the equip spell Card United We Stand. I'm equipping this Spell card to Light End Dragon which gives her 800 more attack points and defense for each monster on my side of the field.

"And that's two of them so Light End Dragon gain 1600 more attack points!" Rua shouted.

"Correct" Monica said as she watched Light End Dragon gain 1600 more attack points.

(ATK 4700, DEF: 3300)

"T-T-That's a whole lot of attack points!" Rua shouted.

"And defense points" Marcus mumbled on the side lines.

"He's finished" Ruka said to Eric whom nodded "Yes because she hasn't activated Light End Dragon's special ability."

Monica smiled "And also Rua because I activated a spell card Arcana Force I-the Magician's attack points double just as they did during your own turn."

(ATK: 3200, DEF: 700)

At this Rua gulped "So what both monsters are stronger than Power Tool Dragon!"

"Yeah that's true" Monica said "But Power Tool Dragon doesn't have an equip spell card to protect it now."

At this Rua nodded "That's true."

"Now Light End Dragon attack with Heaven's Light!" she shouted "And oh yeah didn't I mention Light End Dragon's special ability."

"No" Rua said "You left that part out!"

"Well here's her special ability when Light End Dragon attacks a monster I can activate her special ability causing her to lose 500 attack points but also the monster she battles losses 1500 attack points."

Faced with this Rua's eyes wided as Monica used her Light End Dragon's special ability which his Power Tool Dragon lost 1500 of its attack points and Light End Dragon's attack was cut by 500."

(Power Tool Dragon ATK: 800, Light End Dragon ATK: 4200)

Light End Dragon then unleashed a powerful blast of light at Power Tool Dragon. The light was too much and the dragon was destroyed which also caused massive damage to Rua's life points.

(Rua LP: 600)

"That was good" Rua muttered.

"And now it ends!" Monica announced "Arcana Force I attack Rua directly!"

The monster wasted no time and finished Rua off.

(Rua LP: 0)

At this everyone ran over to the duelist.

"You did well for your first duel" Trudge told her.

"Thanks Officer Trudge" Monica said.

"You did it Lady Monica!" Lunamon said to her.

"I sure did" Monica said she turned to Eric whom nodded "Congratulations Monica. Now I believe Rua needs to be cheered up."

At this Rua and Eric walked over to Rua. Rua looked up as Eric spoke to him.

"Brother I failed…I wanted to impress you so that you would duel me."

"Maybe some other time Rua" Eric said "But you did impress me."

"I did but I lost" Rua said.

"You may have lost but whenever I was home I never saw you Synchro Summon Power Tool Dragon…You are improving."

Rua dried his eyes as he hugged his brother "Thank you brother."

Monica kneeled to him "You almost had me there Rua."

Rua looked at her "If I didn't have Spell Binding Circle I would've been defeated."

Yusei nodded "You did well."

Rua then looked at Eric "Eric when do you have to start building the HQ."

Marcus answered "As soon as we get Director Goodwin's permission."

At this Trudge agreed "The Commander is right, even though you are worldwide, you need his permission to build the HQ. However on the note that you are worldwide he can't say no. He just needs to know what's up."

"You sure Trudge?" Yusei asked "I mean that's the reason why Eric ran away and it's a logical reason why."

"Yes," Trudge said "I agree with you. He was looking after a friend and knew the Data Squad would arrive sooner or later."

Marcus turned as he looked at his team "Tomorrow we start work by meeting Rex Goodwin to get his permission to build our new HQ…But also remember our current mission is on right now. So if there is a Digimon Single you three have to be prepared."

The three Data Squad members nodded as Marcus gave out his order "You may have the time off until tomorrow evening."

The three Data Squad members cheered for this as Marcus looked outside before entering the building.

Rua turned to Eric "Brother since we have a whole day tomorrow I was wondering you and the Data Squad would like to go to the underground arena tomorrow."

At the words underground arena no decision was necessary the group turned "You already have us."

"Why?" Yusei asked.

Monica answered "It could give us a lot of links to whose using a Digimon in this city."

Yusei nodded "Right and then you can be on their tail."

"You got it" Dorumon said he cast a look at Ryan "Oh and no falling into a pit of snakes…"

"DORUMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't ever bring that up again!" Ryan said "They were poisonous snakes! And that wasn't my fault!"

"Was too! I warned you there was a log on the ground and you still tripped over it and into the pit."

"Only when I tripped did you warn me!" Ryan shot back.

At this Eric sighed while laughing at his companion "I have a long way to go with this team."

Eric then went with Ruka to help prepare dinner for the evening.

Reviews please!

Another duel done and the girl won. Yes, Monica's deck is a Light Attribute deck. I've already decided on what deck Ryan has. So get ready for the next chapter. Chapter 4: Earth vs Clowns.
