With the conclusion of the first day of dueling the competitors and their friends and family all moved to a large motel to rest and get to know each other a bit better while the tournament was taking place. Some of them were a bit hard to talk to (Yusaku the most), and some were too goofy (Gore, and Yuki combined) to spend time. But that doesn't stop them.
"Aunt Rin, are you feeling ok?" Dawn asked.
Rin smiled a bit painfully saying, "Bruno is just kicking harder then usual..."
"Bad Bruno." Ace scolded. "Kicking your mommy is mean."
Zarc chuckled at this. "Boy oh boy Ace your like me, and Dawn."
Ace couldn't help but smile excitedly as he heard that only to immediately frown. "But I'm a fraidy cat."
"Everyone has fears Ace." Lilly smiled. "Nobody is truly fearless."
Ace nodded before smiling only for his eyes to widen. "I'll be right back."
With that he ran off to talk to Declan. Alex held her mother's hand with worried eyes.
"I'll be ok." Rin smiled before taking Alex's hand and placing it on her stomach where she could feel a small kick.
Alex smiled feeling it before placing her head on it. Unfortunately for Alex that's when Bruno decided to kick Rin a bit harder again hitting her right in the head.
"Hey." Alex said rubbing her head.
"You ok baby girl?" Yugo asked.
"He kicked harder." Alex answered.
"You know, I wonder if he's just excited to meet you." Terri suggested.
"Well she's not eight months so premature isn't there yet, so that might be the case." Dennis smiled.
"Mommy." Ace smiled running up to her holding a card.
"Huh?" Ray asked turning over.
Ace was smiling. "I forgot I asked uncle Declan to hold onto this for me so I could give it to you. It's the Link Monster I made just for you."
Ray looked surprised as she looked.

secs agoRay looked surprised before smiling hugging Ace.
Ace hugged her back. "Mommy... what's the one for Link?"
"There wasn't one made for Link." Ray answered.
"Oh, that's why I couldn't remember." Ace smiled. "But I wanted to make a special one for you mommy."
Ray smiled saying, "Thank you Ace. It fits well with the Natural Energy Cards."
Ace smiled happily hearing that.
"Ah there's the little guy that created Link." Gore smiled as he, Skye, and Akira walked over meeting them. "You really changed Dueling with your method young lad."
Ace blushed but smiled. "Thank you."
"You two are pretty strong." Yugo smiled. "It makes me want to try dueling you guys."
"Ah Skye has more then that impressive OTK she done." Gore laughed.
"I actually talked about it with him afterward and honestly... I got incredibly lucky to have my traps." Skye mentioned. "If I didn't have all three of them, I would have been beaten pretty easily."
"Luck is a part of dueling after all." Akira told his sister.
"That's true and..." Yuto started. "Where are Yusaku and Ryoken going?"
They turned to look. The two of them were walking off together.
"Maybe something for tomorrow?" Yuya asked.
"Or tonight." Black Fang mentioned walking up with the other magicians. "That aside you did a great job Terri."
Terri smiled at that, "Thanks Black Fang. Tate was as tough as I remembered it."
"Yeah, my Tatey is awesome." Stacy smiled.
"All the duels were great, but I hope we don't have to duel Zane." Lilly admitted.
"Big Sis Dawn beat him." Alex smiled.
"Hey... Where's Kelly?" Yuki asked noticing she's not in the room.
"Huh?" Dawn asked.
"Big sis? Where are you?" Ace asked looking around.
They soon see she, and Mokuba were sitting together holding hands watching something on the TV with smiles on their faces. Her sisters all smiled seeing that.
"They're so cute." Dawn giggled.
Mokuba noticed, and blushed "Uh hey."
"You guys want to watch with me, and my Moki?" Kelly smiled.
"Nope, we just wanted to know where you are." Terri smiled. "Enjoy your movie date little sis."
"Th-This isn't a date." Mokuba turned red. "She just founded one of her favorite movies, and asked me to watch it with her."
"Sure it isn't." Stacy smiled.
"You two behave yourselves." Gale teased before smiling herself.
Mokuba turned red. "Boy Seto would kill me if he sees me like this..."
"Don't worry Moki, I'll protect you." Kelly smiled before kissing his cheek.
Mokuba smiled blushing at this.
"What movie are you guys watching?" Ace asked curious.
"Ah an old film called Cat in the Hat." Mokuba answered.
"Well, enjoy it you two." Zarc smiled as they walked off letting the two Ritual residents enjoy the movie.
"Not to dampen the mood, but has anybody seen Mir since she lost?" Lulu asked.
"I seen Jarrod taking her back to the Synchro Dimension." Samuel answered.
"Do you think they're ok?" Alex asked nervously.
"Mir had been hit pretty hard." Stacy said. "We better pay them a visit."
"Yeah... and hopefully take down that Spencer person for her." Zuzu added.
"Yeah." Yuto nodded.
They all nodded in agreement before heading out. They arrived to where Jarrod, and Mir were sitting on a park bench looking at the sunset.
"Mrs. Mir?" Ace asked nervously.
They turned to see them.
"Oh... hi Ace." Mir frowned.
"Mir? You alright?" Stacy asked worried.
"No... I'm not." She admitted.
Jarrod hugged her as she hugged back.
"What's wrong?" Yugo asked her.
"I could have seriously hurt him." Mir mentioned quietly. "If I had attacked... after everything I did..."
"Your like me Mir." Zarc told her.
"Huh?" Mir asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Zarc looked down before explaining to her about his past, and saying that Dawn, and Ray gave him to encouragement to get back to what he was before Sardon took over. Mir gasped in shock. "Well... maybe I'll have someone to do that for me one day."
Jarrod held her hand. "You already have someone."
Mir blushed. "Not yet I don't. I have someone like Ray, but not someone like Dawn."
Ace smiled before hugging her. "You got me."
Mir smiled hugging him back. "Thank you so much, you're a little angel."
Ace smiled at this.
Later that night...
Everyone was sleeping peacefully resting for their matches tomorrow until-
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
"Huh?" Ace asked in shock waking up before running towards the scream along with everyone else.
They opened to where White Wing Magician was sitting up breathing heavily with sweat on her forehead, and tears in her eyes.
"I... I can't..." White Wing choked out as she curled up into a ball and started just crying.
"White Wing?" Dawn asked worried as she, Zarc, Ray, and Ace walked over to help her.
She was trembling before...
"NOOOOO!"
They all flinched hearing that.
"That was Double Iris." Ray mentioned before said magician ran into the room and immediately hugged Dawn close.
"You're safe... you're ok." he whispered while trembling.
Dawn hugged him asking, "Double Iris? What's wrong?"
Ace hugged White Wing.
"It's those nightmares again." Purple Poison frowned angrily. "They're been getting worse recently, a lot worse."
"Nightmares?" Yugo asked.
"White Wing had one before Ace was born." Ray explained. "She told us it was about they were under Sardon's control, and killed Dawn, and everyone else."
White Wing was trembling. "I can't do it anymore... I can't."
Ace hugged her as he kissed her cheek.
"He's coming back." Double Iris whispered. "I heard his voice... Sardon."
"We'll be ready for him." Yuya told the Magician of his dragon.
"I don't know if we can be Yuya... I..." Double Iris started only to start shaking again. "It was different this time, and I saw myself... my corrupted self, kill you and Stacy." 'And it was Zuzu who ordered it.'
Rin frowned as she walked to White Wing, and hugged her. White Wing screamed in horror before shoving her away and crying out. Rin looked surprised at this.
"White Wing what's you deal!?" Yugo yelled moving to help Rin.
"No, get her away from me!" White Wing cried in horror. "I won't let you make me do it, I won't kill Alex and Yugo!"
They looked stunned by this.
"Keep her away from me!" White Wing cried fearfully.
"White Wing, Mommy wouldn't do that!" Alex told her hugging her.
"No she wouldn't... not because of her own will anyway." Purple Poison mentioned.
"That creep have took over us again." Blue Frost growled. "And this time made the mind control twice as hard."
"It wasn't us Blue Frost, he took Lulu and the others and they turned us into tools to kill Yuto and the others." Black Fang growled. "Hopefully it doesn't happen but if it does... I can still feel the impact from when I hit Terri."
Yuki told them, "Ah not to worry we won't let that creep have his way!"
"I hope you're right, because these nightmares are getting even worse." Blue Frost mentioned uncertainly while White Wing tried to slow her breathing. "In the meantime though, you all have a tournament to win."
Alex handed White Wing a paper bag. She took it in confusion. Alex have then taught her to breath in to it, and breath out saying it would calm her down. She nodded before doing so what Alex said. When she did so she find herself being calmed down.
"Thank you Alex... I really needed that." White Wing whispered.
Alex smiled hugging her.
"The second day isn't for another two hours, so what should we do until then?" Black Fang asked. "I don't think any of us will be going back to sleep anytime soon."
"Head out?" Kelly suggested.
"Makes sense to me." Gale nodded in agreement.
"Do you want some fresh air?" Alex smiled to White Wing.
She just nodded. "Thank you Alex."
Alex smiled hugging her.
"Bruno's the luckiest little boy in the world." Rin smiled.
"For having someone like Alex as his sister." Yugo smiled agreeing.
Alex blushed but smiled. As they walked outside they saw a young man punching and kicking the air.
"Huh?" They asked surprised.
The man turned before smiling. "You're Zarc right, the one who saved Alison?"
"Huh? Wait are you her husband?" Zarc asked seeing him.
"That's right. I didn't expect to see you this early but since I am I have to thank you." the man smiled. "Though, I hope you don't mind me saying I won't throw my matches in thanks."
"What were you doing?" Dawn asked him.
"Just a little exercising, I actually take a weekly karate class and was going over some basics." the man explained. "It helps me focus when I can't sleep and this tournament is just really exciting."
"Should we leave you do it in peace?" Yuya asked.
"It's ok, I was just finishing up." the man mentioned before smiling. "Best of luck in the next matches."
"So your a Duelist. Do you use a Karate Deck?" Rin asked him.
"Not exactly, I use an Iron Fist deck." the man answered.
"Iron Fist?" Alex asked confused.
"It's... actually we have time so do one of you want to have a match?" the man inquired before frowning. "Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. The name's Anthony."
"I'll take ya." Gale told him. "My name is Gale Muto maiden name Wheeler."
"Well miss Gale, good luck." Anthony smiled. "Ladies can go first."
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Say by Stria)
Gale: 4000
Anthony: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Gale 1st Turn:
"Before I start do you know of the Master Duel rules?" Gale asked.
"Yeah, I know them." Anthony nodded. "I'm competing in the tournament after all."
"Well you should know that the mechanic I'm using doesn't stop me." Gale told him. "And I'm not talking about Link."
"It doesn't stop..." Anthony started before his eyes widened. "Oh, interesting."
"Ritual. Since they aren't summoned from the Extra Deck they don't go to the Extra Monster Zone." Gale explained.
"Well then by all means you have the advantage there." Anthony smiled.
"Well now I activate the field spell, Gateway to Chaos!" Gale called as the field spell appeared.
Gateway to Chaos

Once per turn: You can remove 3 Spell Counters from this card; add 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Gateway to Chaos" per turn.
"Go get him mom!" Kelly cheered.
"Now when it's activated I can add a Black Luster Soldier to my hand." Gale said showing Super Solider. "And now I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands!"
A fairy with multiple arms appeared.

"I like where this is going." Yuki grinned.
"Now with it in play I can add a Ritual Spell or Ritual Monster to my hand. And I'm picking Chaos Form!" Gale called showing the card.
"She added the monster, and a Ritual Spell to her hand." Anthony pointed out. "Doesn't take a genius to figure out she's probably going to summon the Black Luster Soldier."
"Well your right." Gale said playing Chaos Form.
Chaos Form
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Chaos" or "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field and/or banish "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Dark Magician" from your Graveyard, whose total Levels exactly equal the Level of the "Chaos" or "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon.
"Well I'll sacrifice Beginning Knight, and Evening Twilight Knight to Ritual Summon!"
Anthony nodded calmly.
With that Gale chanted, "Mighty warrior of earth wreck havoc among your foes, and from the ashes let us see you born anew! Ritual Summon! Level 8! Black Luster Soldier - Super Solider!"
At that her ace appeared with 3000 attack points.

"Not a bad start at all." Anthony smiled.
"Now Gateway to Chaos' effect activates!" Gale called.
Yuki smiled. "She's so amazing."
Gale heard that, and gave out a grin at him.
"Not to be rude, but I think I might have the edge here." Anthony mentioned. "I have quite the powerful combo in my hand."
"Well now as a monster was sent from a hand or field to the graveyard Gateway to Chaos gains a Spell Counter." Gale said as a crystal glowed. (Spell Counter: 1/6)
"She's strong." Zuzu smiled. "No doubt about that."
"Now I play Evening Twilight Knight's ability that Super Solider gained. It banishes a random card in your hand face-down until your next End Phase." Gale explained.
Anthony's eyes widened in shock as the card was banished.
"I end with a face-down." Gale ended.
Anthony 1st Turn:
"... I have to end my turn." Anthony frowned.
The card returned back to his hand.
Gale: 4000
Anthony: 4000
Gale 2nd Turn:
Gale drew as she said, "Pass."
Anthony 2nd Turn:
"Why? You had the perfect opportunity to win and thanks to your effect the card crucial to my combo was gone." Anthony pointed out.
"Maybe but to me that isn't how duels work." Gale smiled. "I duel, and allow my opponent's to do their best!"
"Well then sorry to say but you lose." Anthony told her. "And it's all thanks to my spell card Devil Gene!"
Devil Gene
Normal Spell Card
Tribute "Iron Fist Combatant Kazumi Mishima", "Iron Fist Combatant Jinpachi Mishima", "Iron Fist Combatant Kazuya Mishima", and/or "Iron Fist Combatant Jin Kazama" from your hand. Special Summon one "Iron Fist Devil" monster from your deck with the same name as the tributed monster(s)
"Devil Gene?" Gale asked.
"A unique trait that these four share." Anthony stated as four figures appeared in front of him.
"Who are they?" Gale asked.
"A family with cursed blood, the Mishimas." Anthony stated as the four figures began glowing as they transformed.
Iron Fist Devil Kazuya
Dark Type
Level 10
Warrior
ATK: 4000

If "Iron Fist Combatant Jun Kazama" is in the graveyard you can tribute this card and if you do Special Summon one "Iron Fist Combatant Jin Kazama" from your graveyard. The monster summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed for two turns.
"Huh?" They looked surprised.
"Now for their effects, since they all went to my graveyard their effects trigger. Jin sends your weakest monster back to your hand, Kazuya destroys a random spell or trap you control, Jinpachi returns a random card on your field to your hand, and Kazumi returns all cards in your hand to your deck." Anthony explained.
"Well I'll activate my face-down card!" Gale called.
Luster Field
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 "Black Luster Soldier" monster you control: It cannot be effected to card effects this turn also it can't be destroyed by battle this turn.
"Huh?" Anthony inquired.
"Luster Field! With this Super Soldier can't be activated by card effects this turn!" Gale called. "Which means your monster's effects won't work on him!"
"Except for the fact that none of my effects would have worked on your monster. Jin sends Manju back to your hand, Kazuya destroys a random spell or trap on your field, Jinpachi... I guess he might have worked on your monster but he could just as easily work on your trap or field spell instead and Kazumi returns your hand to your deck." Anthony pointed out.
They all vanished as Super Soldier remained.
"Devil Jin attack Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier!" Anthony called.
Devil Jin: (ATK: 3100)
"Luster Field's other effect!" Gale called as the attack struck. "This turn Super Solider can't be destroyed by battle!"
"Fine, Kazuya, Kazumi, and Jinpachi will all attack." Anthony stated.
Devil Kazuya: (ATK: 4000)
Devil Kazumi: (ATK: 3500)
Devil Jinpachi: (ATK: 3400)
They all struck Super Soldier. (Gale: 2000)
"Well your monster survived so Devil Kazuya gets 500 points stronger and attacks him again." Anthony stated.
Kazuya: (ATK: 4000 + 500 = 4500)
The monster struck Super Solider again as Gale grunted. (Gale: 0500)
"Wow, almost nobody survives if I bring out all four of my Devils." Anthony smiled. "Usually I don't even get to summon one and this time I started with all four. Well, my turn's over so Jinpachi destroys himself."
As Anthony said that Jinpachi crumbled into dust.
Gale: 0500
Anthony: 4000
Gale 3rd Turn:
Gale grinned, "Well let me tell ya no matter how desperate a situation may be I'll NEVER let Super Solider be destroyed! It is my pride, and symbol of my dueling!"
Anthony smiled seeing that before nodding and going to place his hand over his deck.
"No no don't you dare do that!" Gale yelled.
"Huh?" Anthony asked in confusion before his eyes widened. "Oh it's not that I want to leave it's just... we don't want to be late do we?"
"I got what I need to beat ya this turn." Gale grinned drawing. "And this is such good practice! I have honor!"
"You can beat my three remaining Devils and win the duel this turn?" Anthony inquired. "Ok, give me your best shot."
"First off the ability that Evening Twilight Knight gave to Super Soldier activates!" Gale grinned. "It removes your Jin from play!"
Devil Jin grunted in pain before vanishing.
"Next the ability Beginning Knight gave to Super Solider plays!" Gale cried. "It removes your Kazumi from play!"
Kazumi collapsed before turning into green lights that floated off.
"So I'm left with Iron Fist Devil Kazuya." Anthony noted. "Though you only have have one card in your hand and your Super Soldier is 1000 points too weak."
Gale grinned before calling, "And one I'm playing! The spell known as Beginning of Union!"
Beginning of Union
Normal Spell Card
If you control 1 "Black Luster Soldier": Target 1 monster your opponent controls, halve it's ATK. Then all effect damage your opponent takes this turn is halved.
"With this Kazuya's attack points are halved, and all effect damage you take this turn is also halved!"
Iron Fist Devil Kazuya: (ATK: 4000/2 = 2000)
"So now your monster is stronger than mine." Anthony frowned.
"Now Super Soldier attack Kazuya!" Gale called as her ace charged.
Kazuya tried to block the blade only to grunt and shatter from the attack.
(Anthony: 3000)
"And now as Super Soldier destroyed a monster you get blasted with Kazuya's attack points!" Gale called. "And due to Beginning of Union you only take half the damage!"
Anthony winced from the effect.
(Anthony: 1000)
"Gale won." Yuki grinned.
"Huh, he still has 1000 points." Ace mentioned.
"Now the other effect Beginning Knight gave to Super Soldier activates! Since it destroyed a monster by battle it can attack one more time!" Gale revealed.
Anthony's eyes widened before he smiled. "Well, I guess this one ends in a DRAW."
"DRAW?" Gale asked confused as Super Solider charged.
"I activate the effect of Iron Fist Combatant Mokujin in my hand." Anthony stated as a carved wooden dummy appeared. "This monster works in two ways. If I summon it then it becomes a copy of any monster used during the duel, but if I'm attacked directly I can summon it with its zero attack points but we both take any battle damage when it gets attacked."
Gale widen her eyes as she smiled. Anthony smiled too. "Good match, and good luck in the tournament."
Super Soldier destroyed the dummy.
Gale: 0000
Anthony: 0000
DRAW!
Ulrich362: Well, looks like Gale made a new friendly rival for the tournament... though the poor magicians.
bopdog111: Even White Wing.
Ulrich362: Hopefully things improve but then again Sardon is still out there somewhere and I doubt he'll be coming alone this time.
bopdog111: Himself is bad enough.
Ulrich362: Well, at least for the time being they can just enjoy the tournament. Speaking of which should we reveal the next match?
bopdog111: You can if you like.
Ulrich362: Alright, in that case you all can look forward to seeing Jack Atlas take on Leo Akaba in a Master Duel.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
