A/N: Here's another chapter of YGO-DD, and this time there will not be one or two duels, but three! Although one of the duels may have some darker elements in it... This takes place in the general timeframe of Episode 4. Also, sorry about the old chapter name. It might sound silly, but that was intended to be a joke, but I'm guessing it made the chapter not very well liked, so I changed it. Also, here's an update on Draco's human appearance; He has added a sky-blue short sleeved vest and switched his shorts with green camo pants starting before they got on the boat. Now for the Disclaimer. I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of its spinoffs, all content belongs to its respective owners. "It's time to Duel!"
Chapter 8, Dragunity and the Dark Seal!
When the group got off the ship, Tristan almost blew his cover trying not-so-calmly walking past them. Luckily nobody suspected any stowaways onboard so he was dismissed as a very nervous contestant. "Way to play it cool Tristan." Téa said sarcastically, while Akane was sniggering and Lizzie just shook her head wearily. Said Reptile Duelist had been having nightmares of her parents' deaths and Grandpa Mutou's kidnapping, each one more vivid than the ones before. This in turn kept her from resting properly and resulted in several losses during her practice duels with Draco and Yugi.
"You doing alright, Liz? You barely slept a wink last night, I'm starting to get worried about you..." Draco asked Lizzie gently as the others had been talking about the Tournament and that scumbag Weevil. Lizzie stifled a yawn "Mm-fine, jus' had a lot on my mind, that's all." it wasn't a complete lie, she *did* have a lot on her mind lately. For one, she wondered why she was here and what the voice near that "Stone of Ages" thing meant by "Find the one you have lost" or whatever.
Then there was the kidnapping of Mr. Mutou's soul, why would Pegasus do such a thing, especially to Yugi's grandpa, who had never hurt anyone? Lizzie's face darkened briefly at the thought briefly, but Draco seemed to catch on "Is this about-" he was interrupted when a man with square sunglasses and hair that spiked upward at the front "Welcome all duelists. Follow the stairs to meet your host!" as the group walked up the stairs, Téa noticed Bakura in the woods surrounding the castle's stairs, but he vanished so she thought she was seeing things and they moved on. Lizzie shuddered, for some reason Bakura creeped her out, despite his friendly personality.
When the group got to the top, they and all the other contestants were briefed on the rules of the tournament by none other than Pegasus himself. Basically they had to bet their Star Chips and win more of them until they had ten, then they'd be allowed into the castle for the finals. 'And our final confrontation with Pegasus' Lizzie thought with determination to rescue Grandpa Mutou. She had never gotten to know her grandparents, since they died before she could remember them, but she imagined they must have been something like Solomon Mutou, kind, caring and tempered with good discipline.
Maki spoke up as they were walking to search for Weevil so they could squash him like the bug he really is "So you guys do realize you are gambling to get into the castle, right?" Draco grunted and affirmative as Yugi answered "If it means we can reach Pegasus and rescue Grandpa, we have to risk it." Lizzie spoke next "I agree on this, although it's not really like we have a choice in the matter..." as they were walking, only Lizzie seemed to notice that Draco had wandered off again and thus she went to look for him, but not before telling Maki where she was going.
Scene Change
Draco had somehow found himself in a mountain range, having a stare-down with Yasuhiro Kimura. It was silent for a moment before Yasu said "Wow, seriously? I was up here to get some time away from crowds, and I still end up with company." Draco just nodded numbly before noticing Yasu's Duel Glove "You only have one Star Chip. so you lost a Duel already?" Yasu looked at his Duel Glove and confirmed it "So, we each only have one Star Chip, then. Would you like to Duel me for one?" Draco asked. Yasu agreed to duel Draco and a Duel Field appeared near where they were standing.
After they shuffled their decks, the duel started. Yasuhiro went first "I'll start by activating a monster effect from my hand. By sending my Dragunity Aklys to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon Dragunity Arma Mystletainn in attack position!" a bipedal dragon with four wings and a sword in its hand appeared on the field (Level 6, Wind, Dragon/Effect. Atk/Def: 2100/1500.) "Next, I equip Aklys to my Mystletainn using its effect and summon Flying Kamakiri #1 in attack position. I set two cards facedown and end my turn." a green insect monster with four clawed arms and a set of wings appeared on the field (Level 4, Wind, Insect/Effect. Atk/Def: 1400/900.
'I see, He's using a Dragunity Deck... Well, time to test out my new cards then!' Draco thought as he started his turn "My move, Draw!" he looked at his hand then decided what he would play " First, I summon Skilled White Magician in attack position" a robed mage wielding a white staff with a blue orb atop it materialized (Level 4, Light, Spellcaster/Effect. Atk/Def: 1700/1900.) Draco continued his turn "Next I set one card facedown and play the spell cards Card Trader and Mystical Space Typhoon. The former allows me to trade one card in my hand for a random one in my deck at the Standby Phase, while the latter simply destroys one spell or trap on the field. Both cause my magician to gain one Spell Counter." the facedown trap card Icarus Attack was destroyed by Draco's spell "Now, Skilled White Magician, attack his Flying Kamakiri #1!"
as Yasu's life points went down he explained his monster's effect (Yasu -300= 1700.) "When Flying Kamakiri is destroyed, I can special summon a wind attribute monster with equal to or less than 1500 attack points, come forth, the Tuner monster Dragunity Brandistock!" a tiny dragon with a spear like horn on its head appeared on the field (Level 1, Wind. Dragon/Tuner/Effect. Atk/Def: 600/400.) 'a Tuner monster? He must be planning to Synchro Summon on the next turn.' "I'll end my turn here, it's your move!"
Yasu quietly drew his card then made his next move "I tune my level one Dragunity Brandistock with my level six Dragunity Arma Mystletainn. Synchro Summon, level seven Dragunity Knight - Trident in attack position!" a large dragon with a humanlike rider emerged on the field, roaring viciously (Level 7, Wind, Dragon/Synchro/Effect). Yasu continued his turn " Aklys' effect activates, when it is sent to the graveyard as an equip card, I can destroy one card on the field. Say goodbye to your magician!"
a spirit form of said dragon shot from the graveyard and pierced the Skilled White Magician, destroying it. "Next, I summon Dragunity Legionnaire in attack position, then activate its effect to equip Aklys to it" a birdman in roman armor materialized to the field and Aklys turned into its weapon "This duel is over! Trident, attack Draco's Life Points Directly!" the knight prepared to strike Draco down but Draco countered "It's not over yet, Yasu! I activate my trap; Zero Gravity, to switch the positions of all monsters on the field and stopping your attack!" Dragunity Knight Trident and Legionnaire took a defensive stance, then Yasuhiro grunted and said "Right, it's your move Draco. Make the most of it..."
Draco thought about his options 'I have Dark Blade and Pitch-Dark Dragon in my hand, let's hope I draw...' "My move, I Draw!" he looked at the card in his hand then continued "I activate the Spell Card, Polymerization to fuse Dark Blade and Pitch-Dark Dragon" the two monsters in his hand appeared on the field then began to meld together "Fusion Summon, Dark Blade The Dragon Knight!" Dark Blade reappeared riding atop the Pitch-Dark Dragon (Level 6, Dark. Warrior/Fusion/Effect. Atk/Def: 2100/1500) "Dark Blade, attack his Trident!" after his monster was destroyed, Yasu spoke up "Not bad, Draco. You defeated Trident without much trouble, but I'm not done yet myself!" Draco nodded an affirmative and ended his turn"
Yasu drew a card "I set one facedown card, then activate Legionnaire's effect. by sending Aklys to the Graveyard, I can destroy your Dragon Knight!" the bird warrior tossed Aklys at Dark Blade, destroying him "Aklys' effect also destroys a card on the field, so your Card Trader is no more! Dragunity Legionnaire, attack Draco Directly!" Draco got hit full force by the monster's attack this time (-1200= 800.) "That's all for now, you'd better do something fast or you will lose." Yasu said as Draco's turn began
'Yasu's right, I have to draw a game changer or I won't be able to save Caleb! Here goes...' Draco briefly saw an image of his brother in his mind "My move, I... DRAW!" when he saw the card in his hand, he knew the duel would end this time "I summon Buster Blader in attack position!" Yasu's eyes widened as the dragon slayer appeared on his opponent's side of the field (Level 7, Earth. Warrior/Effect. Atk/Def: 2600/2300.) "Buster Blader gains 500 attack points for every dragon monster you control or is in your graveyard, I count three. That gives my Buster Blader 4100 attack points! Buster Blader, attack Yasu's Dragunity Dux!" the Destruction Swordsman sliced through the avian soldier, thus Yasuhiro Kimura was removed from the tournament (- 2600= 0 LP, winner: Draco)
The two duelists got off of the duel field and shook hands "It was a pleasure dueling you Draco, here's your Star Chip as per the rules." Draco received the Star Chip with a small smile on his face "Likewise, but aren't you worried? you lost your last Star Chip, won't you be taken off the island?" Yasuhiro shook his head "Me? nah, Pegasus invited me to stay at his castle for a week or so while we discussed the new summon mechanics being fully integrate into his game, so I kind of have to stay..." Draco laughed that he forgot Yasuhiro got VIP access to meet with Pegasus since his family worked with KaibaCorp and Industrial Illusions on a regular basis.
Once he was done laughing, Draco's expression sobered and became serious "Yasu, when you see Pegasus again, send him a message for me. Tell him I'm coming to pick my brother up and that he had better hope Caleb doesn't get hurt while I'm away. Think you can manage that?" Yasuhiro looked a bit confused at first, but then caught the message's meaning "alright, I'll be sure to tell him. Your brother is lucky to have you, and I would know considering how many siblings I have!" he gave Draco a friendly pat on the back then the two went their separate ways.
Scene Change
Lizzie was seriously wondering why Draco kept getting lost like this. She was sitting by the ocean, baffled as to the whereabouts of her best friend. It didn't make her feel all that much better when she realized her best friends were a scaly and a kid wearing a magic piece of jewelry. Sighing, she got up and prepared to continue her search until she saw a teal haired blur in the distance 'Found him, I don't know anyone else with that hair color!' she thought as she raced towards the blur.
It turned out that the person wasn't Draco, although he did look like him. The youth looked to be about her age, had teal hair and green eyes like Draco, but had suntanned skin. He was searching for something in the sand frantically when Lizzie showed up "You aren't- you know what, never mind. What are you looking for? the young man stopped to look at her, stared for a moment, squinting, then said "I'm looking for my sunglasses, have you seen them? They were fitted to help with my eyesight and I can't see properly without them."
Lizzie could sympathize with him, she had sight issues as well, so she had to wear glasses to see well too. She looked around then saw something glint in the sun a foot away from where the blue haired teen was looking and picked it up. "I found your glasses, here you go!" the bluehead reached out to take the glasses "Thank y-" just when he grabbed the glasses, the youth's eyes closed and he began snoring 'Really!? I help him find his glasses and he falls asleep on the drop of a- oh, I think I get it, he has narcolepsy... great.'
After she woke him up, he promptly took his glasses and put them on "thank you, sorry about that, I've had that problem since I was little." he explained, looked at Lizzie then at her Duel Glove "You're a duelist? Maybe we could have a duel, that should be a good warmup, right?" Lizzie thought about this. She really wanted to find Draco, but she also needed to win enough Star Chips to enter Pegasus' Castle and find Yugi's Grandpa. After weighing her choices, she reasoned with herself that Draco could take care of himself for awhile yet and accepted the young man's challenge
The two got onto a duel field that appeared near them and they briefly introduced themselves "My name's Silas Gale, what's yours?" Lizzie smiled warmly and responded "Lizzie Calhoun, nice to meet you!" Silas' eyes had a spark of determination in them "I see. In that case, I won't hold anything back!" Lizzie wondered what he meant, but shrugged it off and the duel started
Lizzie started first "I draw! First I summon Lion Alligator in attack position" an alligator with an orange man appeared on the field and snapped its jaws (Level 4, Water. Reptile/Effect. Atk/Def: 1900/200.) "I'll set two facedown cards and end my turn. Are you even going to stay awake!?" she shouted the last sentence at Silas, who had fallen asleep at the duel interface.
He woke up and started his turn "I'll start by summoning the Tuner Monster Deep Sea Diva and activate her effect" a woman with a fish tail instead of legs appeared then began singing "when Deep Sea Diva is normal summoned, I can special summon one level 3 or lower Sea Serpent Monster from my deck. I summon Atlantean Heavy Infantry in attack position." The best Lizzie could describe the monster before her was "freaky fish guy", then she thought for a moment 'wait a minute, he's got a tuner monster and a non-tuner on the field, does he plan to Synchro Summon?'
Silas continued his turn "since Atlantean Heavy Infantry is on the field, I perform an extra normal summon as long as it's a level 4 or lower sea serpent monster, I summon Armed Sea Hunter in attack position" a fish human hybrid armed with a bow joined the other two monsters on Silas side of the field (Level 4, Water. Sea Serpent/Effect. Atk/Def: 1800/400) "I overlay my Deep Sea Diva with my Atlantean Heavy Infantry in order to build the Overlay Network" Lizzie looked a little surprised at that "I Xyz Summon, Rank 2 Cat Shark in defense position!" Lizzie simply squealed at the sight of the shark/cat hybrid that emerged from the vortex (Rank 2, Water. Beast/Xyz/Effect. Atk/Def: 500/500)
"He packs more punch than you think, I assure you. I set one facedown card and end my turn, your move." Lizzie drew a card "Alright, I'll summon Ancient Lizard Warrior in attack position." a bipedal lizard with green scales, a light brown chest and arms with sharp claws on the end appeared on the field and looked back at Lizzie, expectantly awaiting orders (Level 4, Earth. Reptile. Atk/Def: 1400/1100.) "While Lion Alligator is on the field, my reptile monsters do piercing damage! Ancient Lizard Warrior, attack his Cat Shark!" just before the monster reached his Cat Shark, Silas activated his facedown card "Nice try, but I can do better! Trap activate; Gravity Bind, now monsters that are level 4 or higher cannot attack!"
a zone of gravity engulfed the field, forcing Ancient Lizard Warrior to withdraw its attack, lest it get crushed by the pressure. It looked at Lizzie with an apologetic look on its reptilian face. Lizzie smiled at her monster "you did fine, it's not your fault" she said, and could have sworn she saw its face turn a bit red but she thought she must have been imagining things and returned to the duel "I'll set another facedown card, then switch Ancient Lizard Warrior to defense position and end my turn." she internally cursed, realizing most of her monsters were level 4, and wouldn't work well in this situation.
Silas started his turn again "Draw! I'll summon Atlantean Dragoons in attack position" two more fish men appeared on the field wielding spears and riding some kind of sea dragons (Level 4, Water. Sea Serpent/Effect. Atk/Def: 1800/0) 'He summoned another level 4 monster, but why? level 4 monsters can't- oh no, I think I know why...' Silas continued his turn "I overlay my Armed Sea Hunter and my Atlantean Dragoons in order to build the Overlay Network. Xyz Summon, Bahamut Shark in attack position!" a dragon-like shark emerged from the vortex and let out a proud roar (Rank 4, Water. Sea Serpent/Xyz/Effect. Atk/Def: 2600/2100.)
'This is bad, Xyz monsters don't have levels, so he can attack me still, and I still don't know what that Cat Shark card can do.' Lizzie thought as Silas' turn kept going "Cat Shark activates its effect now, by removing one overlay unit, my Bahamut Shark's attack and defense points are doubled this turn. It's over! Bahamut Shark, attack her Lion Alligator!"
Bahamut Shark launched itself at the alligator but just when it was destroyed, Lizzie activated two of her facedown cards "Traps activate; Damage Diet and Snake Whistle! This turn, all damage I take is halved and with Snake whistle I can summon Gentlemander from my deck!" her Points decreased and her monster appeared in defense position (-700= 1300 Life Points) Silas scowled at that and continued his turn, much to Lizzie's surprise
"That does it! I said I wouldn't hold back and I *will* keep my word! I rebuild the Overlay Network using my Bahamut Shark. Xyz Evolution!" Lizzie was getting more and more surprised with this guy with each turn, he can evolve his Xyz Monsters too!? what will the new monster be? a circle began drawing itself on the field, as Silas spoke "Mystic Circle of the Ancients, I summon you in all your terrifying glory. The bane of kings, Number P86: Seal of Rejection, in defense position!"
This monster resembled an arcane circle brimming with eldritch energy. An outline of somebody bound by chains appears inside the seal. The reddish brown number 86 is located on the outlined figure's left chest, where the person's heart would be (Rank 1, Earth. Fiend/Xyz/Effect. Atk/Def: 250/300.) 'A Parallel Number, here!? This is bad, I heard about how powerful Number cards can be from Yugi, and he in turn heard of them from his Number. This may not turn out so well...'
Silas ended his turn and let Lizzie make her move "Draw! I overlay my Gentlemander and my Ancient Lizard Warrior in order to build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon, King of the Feral Imps in attack position!" an oversized imp appeared, along with smaller imps serving as attendants (Rank 4, Dark. Reptile/Xyz/Effect. Atk/Def: 2300/2000.) 'I have to be careful, I don't know what that Number can do yet, so I should try to bolster my forces for now'
"I activate King of the Feral Imps effect, by removing one overlay unit, I can add one reptile monster from my deck to my hand." before she could do so however, Silas used his Number's effect "I activate my Seal of Rejection's special ability, by using one overlay unit, I can target a monster that activates its monster effect, then negate and destroy it, then you take damage equal to half its attack! Rebound of Chains!" Seal of Rejection released its chains, piercing through the monster and interrupting its effect simultaneously, and Lizzie took damage but not before activated her other facedown and another card effect
"Traps activate, by banishing my Damage Diet card from the graveyard, all effect damage I take is halved, and my second Snake Whistle allows me to summon another Lion Alligator- Aghh!" she felt a sharp pain in her chest when she lost life points (-1150= 150 life points) Lizzie was gasping for breath for awhile 'What was that!? That felt real, is this what the Numbers are capable of? What's worse is that card can negate and destroy my monsters while dealing damage, I need to think...'
She lost her train of thought when she saw a very disturbing sight. The outlined humanlike shape within the Seal of Rejection began to take on a clearer form, Lizzie's form. She suddenly started to feel a wave of crushing despair, and from a white void began seeing images of her parents' broken forms and Solomon Mutou's soulless body being carried away to an ambulance 'Why am I even here? I can't even beat Draco or Yugi in a single duel, what use am I here? I can't...' she was snapped out of her depressed thoughts by somebody's voice
"Lizzie, snap out of it! Would your parents wish for you to act this way!?" she blinked for a moment, then looked around for the speaker, but couldn't find anyone. Was she imagining things? Then the voice returned, speaking in a soft melodic tone "Remember your promise to your family and friends, to Draco. Remember your resolve when you saw those images, don't let the Number's influence take hold!"
'The... Number...?' She recalled Number P86: Seal of Rejection taking her shape, and the look of anguish on the familiar form's face, then remembered the promises she made to her to her late parents and her friends respectively.
Flashback, Lizzie's POV
My parents were leaving for their next trip to Egypt, their last expedition they would ever take. I was six years old at the time, so my memory of it was pretty blurry, but now that I'm here in this place, I can remember it as though it were yesterday. Mom always had that kind of smile that would soften the hearts of anyone she came across on her travels, and she was one of the best artists I ever knew.
"Lizzie, we're going for now, hold the fort for us, ok?" Mom said with her usual smile, while Dad was at the door speaking with Uncle Innes in a whispered tone that neither Mom or I could hear.
Dad was a renowned archeologist, rivaled by few besides Mom, he was brave and clever, but was hilariously klutzy. He was very good at what he did, and often brought home some oddities from his trips home for me. Dad finished talking to Uncle Innes, then he and Mom prepared to leave, but I ran over to Dad and tightly hugged his leg "Daddy, please stay for awhile longer, I'm scared..."
Dad laughed a little, then kneeled over so as to reach my level, then he got something out of his bag "Lizzie, there's no need to be afraid, you have your uncle here to protect you, but in case he isn't enough, I want you to have this" it was a silver ring inlaid with a lapis lazuli, with intricate carvings across the ring's surface. Next to Mom, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
He tied a long string around it and put it around my neck like a necklace "I want you to carry this with you at all times, and promise me you won't lose your strong and loving heart. And remember to stay strong when there are tough times, can you do that for us?" I nodded my head happily in agreement, then my parents left for the last time they were alive.
End of Flashback, Normal POV
'I didn't quite understand what my dad meant because I was so young, but I think I know now. This is one of those tough times he mentioned' Lizzie rummaged through her pockets and pulled out the ring her father gave her, then he remembered the promise she made to Yugi and her other friends to rescue Grandpa Mutou. 'Whoever you are, you're right, too many people are counting on me for me to give up now!'
the voice returned, the songlike tone ever-present "You finally remember! That's good, now is the time to make true of your promise. I will return you to your world now." Lizzie stepped toward the voice "Wait a minute, who-"
Lizzie's eyes shot open, and she was back at the duel field, her father's ring still in her hands 'That's right, I was dueling Silas, and I must have whited out. But why am I holding my dad's ring, was that place real?' she shook her head and Silas woke up again from his unceremoniously timed nap "Well, are you done with your turn or are you going to keep staring? You have two turns before I can declare an attack due to Seal of Rejection's effect, so you should be safe from normal attacks at least."
Lizzie was still aching from the Number's effect, but she seemed to feel a little better. She put her ring back in her pocket and continued the duel "I'll set one monster facedown and end my turn."
Silas began his next turn "My move, draw! I summon Atlantean Pikeman in attack position, then set a facedown card and end my turn, that's one turn down." Lizzie drew a card, then hoped for the best "I summon Gagagigo in attack position and flip face-up my Reptillianne Gardna. I overlay my three monsters in order to build the Overlay Network. Xyz Summon, Gagagigo the Risen in attack position!" an evolved version of Gagagigo appeared on the field, complete with cybernetic pieces of armor (Rank 4, Water. Reptile/Xyz. Atk/Def: 2950/2800.)
Lizzie continued "Xyz Monsters have ranks and not levels, so Gagagigo the Risen can attack your Pikeman!" Gagagigo the Risen struck the Atlantean, but the damage was reduced because Silas used Cat Shark's last overlay unit to increase its attack to 2800 (-150= 1850 Life Points) "that ends my turn."
Silas drew his card "That's the second turn, but I seemed to have a bad draw this time, so it's your turn again. Lizzie drew her next card "I'll play the spell card, Pot of Greed to draw two new cards!" she drew said cards then continued her turn "This is it, win or lose, this duel is over. I summon Terrene Toothed Tsuchinoko in attack position, then play the Spell Card, Attack Pheromones!"
Silas looked shocked this time, and Lizzie was loving it "You.. so that's your plan... well then, lets end this then!" Lizzie prepared to finish this duel in this one turn "Terrene Toothed Tsuchinoko, attack his Seal of Rejection!" the snakelike creature reluctantly bit into the fake Lizzie within the arcane circle, but it wasn't destroyed when Silas explained "I guess I didn't mention this, as long as Seal of Suppression has overlay units, it can't be destroyed in battle."
Lizzie grinned deviously "I know, a Number card with that low of attack and defense would need a reasonably protective effect like that to keep it at large, that's why I used Attack Pheromones, it forces any monster on your field that was attacked by a reptile but not destroyed to switch to attack position." the chains that connected to the Fake Lizzie reared up like snakes ready to strike as a sign it was on the offensive "Gagagigo the Risen, finish this! Attack Number P86: Seal of Rejection!"
When the attack struck the Number, Silas spoke to Lizzie as his Life Points hit zero "Well played, you pass my test." Lizzie walked over to Silas, wondering what he meant until he handed her a card "Take it, you've as good as earned it. Just remember the risks of using a card like this and you'll be fine. Here's your Star Chip, and good luck with the tournament!" Lizzie looked at the card, it was Number P86: Seal of Rejection, then looked up at Silas-
But he was already gone 'What just happened?' Lizzie wondered, then shrugged it off and put the Parallel Number in her Extra Deck before continuing her search for Draco.
Scene Change
Yugi was having trouble with his duel with Weevil for quite awhile, but things seemed to be turning around. On Weevil's side of the field was his Great Moth, soaked and weakened by Makiu the Magical Mist, and on his side of the field he had three level 4 monsters "Weevil, you may have thrown away my Grandpa's Exodia cards, but I have one more card that is almost as powerful"
Weevil laughed at this, he had destroyed all of Yugi's strongest monsters, including his Summoned Skull he summoned earlier, thinking it impossible that Yugi had anything left "I know you're bluffing Yugi, face it, you might have weakened my Great Moth, but there's still nothing left in your deck that can stop it!" he kept laughing like a maniac until Yugi spoke up again, and what he said next shut him up for sure
"You did destroy all the best monsters in my deck, but you forgot my Extra Deck still has a monster within. Behold! I overlay my three monsters in order to build the Overlay Network! I Xyz Summon!" Weevil started to panic "What's Xyz Summoning? What is happening!?" Yugi continued "Magician from the deepest corners of the mind, I beseech you to grant me the knowledge to end this Duel! Come forth, Number P37: Mind Shadow Magician!" the Number appeared, and Weevil let out a terrified squeak
Yugi finished the duel saying "Mind Shadow Magician can attack while in defense position, now, Dark Mind Collapse!" with Great Moth defeated and Weevil a gibbering wreck, Yugi took his Star Chip, and Joey "Confiscated" his Duel Glove, then the group set out to look for Lizzie and Draco.
Meanwhile, a white robed woman was watching Lizzie from a distance "So this is the one Byakuya briefed me about. let's see if she really can become as good as the Great Sage told us.
Chapter End
A/N: I'm back, sorry it took so long to post this chapter and sorry if Lizzie's flashback and ring keepsake were at all cheesy, I found it worked well with what I have planned. On the note of taking so long, I was in a funk due to the new ruleset coming in September, causing all decks that mass-summon extra deck monsters requiring Link Monsters to maintain such playstyles, but I feel a little better now because I made up my own ruleset that will be implemented in this fanfiction's sequel. Thanks for reading. Duel Standby.
