Authoress note- Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I got an 88 on a test today and I thought I got a 100. Don't you hate that? O well. I made all of Marie's cards up and Atticus' cards are Darkness'/Nightshroud. This chapter will kind of be more serious. Hope you like it.

OOOOOOOOO

Marie and Miyu were both walking into the arena. Marie was getting nervous.

"I thought we weren't allowed in here."

"Oh please Marie. We're their honored guests. What are they going to do? Kick us out?"

"Hey guys."

They looked up and saw Jaden and the gang.

"hi." They both said.

"Ready to get-"Jaden caught himself. "Ready to play duel monsters?" He asked looking annoyed.

"Um sure let's go Jaden!" Marie said.

"I'm not your opponent though."

"Then who is?" Miyu asked wanting to go to bed.

Jaden turned around and pointed to Atticus.

"Oh ok then let's play."

"Alright but I need to give ya something." Atticus told Marie while looking through his bag.

Everyone just looked at him as he pulled out all different looking items.

"I found it!" he held up a deck of cards.

"Will you play with this deck, Marie?"

"Um alright."

"Wait!" Miyu jumped in front of Atticus. "What if that deck is just a bunch of crappy cards? Just so you can win!"

"I wouldn't do that! Just take them."

Marie took the deck and put it in her duel disk while Atticus did the same. They both drew two cards.

"Atticus."

"Yeah?"

"I can't read Japanese."

"I think you can figure it out."

Marie drew her sixth card and looked at all of the cards in her hand closely until she finally picked one.

"I play this in attack position."

A Fairy-like girl came from a light in the ground. She had dark brown hair and sky blue eyes. It had 1700ATK and 1500DEF.

"Then I lay two cards face down and end my turn."

"Hmm so do you like Emerald light fairy, Marie?"

"Why are you so obsessed with this deck?'

"No reason but anyway my turn."

Atticus drew and smiled.

"I summon Red Eyes Black Chick and activate its special ability to summon Red Eyes Black Dragon and then by sending Red Eyes to the graveyard, I can summon Red Eyes Darkness Dragon."

Red Eyes Darkness Dragon appeared on the field with 2400ATK and 2000DEF.

"Thanks to its special ability, it gains 300 attack points for each dragon monster in my graveyard."

Darkness Dragon's attack then rose to 3000.

OOOOO

(In the arena seats.)

"He isn't even holding back at all for this beginner!" Bastion said staring at the dragon.

"Yeah." everyone said in unison.

OOOOO

"Now go and attack Darkness dragon!"

"I activate a trap card!"

One of her cards then came up and destroyed darkness dragon.

"Uh was that bad? What did I just do?"

"Well it's bad for me but not for you. You just activated Mirror Force and that destroys all of my attack position monsters."

"Ohhhhhhh"

OOOOOO

"Hey you kids!"

They all looked up and saw security guards.

"Crap! They all said and ran al the way back to the Slifer dorm.

OOOOOO

Marie walked up to Atticus.

"Thanks for a good game even though we couldn't finish it.'

"You're Welcome."

Marie yawns

"Good night."

Marie and Miyu both walked back up to their rooms.

OOOOOO

Alexis walked up to Atticus.

"Atticus, why did you ask Marie to use that deck?"

Everyone gathered around.

"Well-"

Authoress note: Cliffhanger! Dun Dun Dun DUUN Haha I think it might get more serious but I'll try not to make it. Please review!

Preview:

Miyu: This Jaden guy is getting annoying. I mean he talks about things like how he met Syrus at Acme one day and a whole lot of other pointless stuff.

Marie: Why am I addicted to this place?

Miyu: Next time: The truth behind Marie!
