The gang had decided on burgers after the long duel had ended.
Lynn then replied, "Takato is a tough duelist."
Miranda nodded and replied, "He sure is. He has a perfect deck to use."
Fallon looked at her tray that had a Chicken sandwich infront of her and fries and sighed sadly.
Miranda then replied, "Fallon's deck has gotten better. Her dark army rules."
Lynn nodded and replied, "I agree with you on that girl."
She turned to Fallon and she replied, "That Dark Dragon Cannon card is really cool."
She nodded to her friend.
"Whats up with you, girl? You haven't said a word since we came here.", Miranda asked.
Fallon then replied, "Its nothing. I just hope that Takato find his masters killer and brings him to justice."
Miranda then replied, "I hope so too, girl."
Fallon took the sandwich and took a bite out of it.
-ooo-
Back at the sushi bar, Takato had just finished his favorite sushi: A 6 piece Spicy Salmon Roll with a cup of their unlimited Green Tea. He loves spicy food, as long as not too spicy.
Takato then replied, "Fallon is a tough duelist. I hope she wins the whole thing."
A waiter came by and he replied, "That'll be $13.50 please."
Takato took his money card out and the waiter took it and swiped at a machine at the bar and the waiter gave back the card and he replied, "You have about $295.50 left on it, sir."
Takato nodded and replied, "Thank you."
The waiter nodded as he walked away.
He then replied, "Another drink of my green Tea and its back to dueling."

That night in his mansion, Terkylo was looking at the 10 stars he won with Rocky watching him.
He sighed and replied, "I have all the 10 chips I need for the finals!"
Rocky then replied, "When are you going to battle for the Star Statue?"
Terkylo then replied, "I don't know, yet. I'll go out when I'm ready to. Only 2 duelists have 9 star chips right and with 80 remaining in the tournament, it shouldn't be any trouble to with a Star Statue."
Rocky then replied, "You have to head out and duel for someday, boss."
Terkylo then replied, "I know, Rocky. I'll be ready to duel at anytime."
Rocky nodded and replied, "You're going to cream the finals, sir. You have one awesome deck to use!"
Terkylo then replied, "Thank you, young man."

That night after they left the burger cafe, the girls had just left the cinema and was now having some small snacks and drinks at the small cafe near the hotel.
Fallon then replied, "What a wierd movie."
Miranda nodded and replied, "But a very funny classic movie."
Lynn then replied, "Who knew that Spaceballs would still be funny today?"
Fallon then replied, "I have a plan for us. This card shop has just opened today across from the Arcade and we can get some new cards."
Miranda then replied, "Sounds good. I needed some new cards anyway."
Fallon then replied, "Cool. Lets get some tomorrow then."
Lynn then replied, "Sounds good to me."

The next day, the girls had met up in the usual coffee shop near the hotel and decided on some coffe and bagels.
Fallon then replied, "Ready for some new cards, ladies?"
The girls nodded as Lacy came in and she found the girls and replied, "Hey, girls!"
Lynn then replied, "Hey, girl."
"Anyone have any other duels since mine?"
Fallon then replied, "I'm three away from the finals!"
Lacy then replied, "I only need 2 more myself. Mind if I tag along with you fine ladies?"
"We're heading to that new card shop."
Lacy then replied, "Cool. Need some new cards anyway."
Fallon then replied, "Lets finish our drinks and bagels and head out."
Lacy then replied, "Cool."
-ooo-
After about a hour of waiting, the Card Dungeon was now open for buisness. It sold cards for each group of monsters and all sorts of goodies and the rarest cards were behind a wall of glass at the counter.
Lynn laughed and replied, "This'll be fun!"
They each walked to their area of card and Fallon nodded and replied, "Hmm, these are some neat Dark counterpart monsters!"
She took 4 of them and she nodded and replied, "Hmm, Lets see what they have for Synchros."
She looked at the Synchro area for dark monsters and she saw 2 that looked good to her and she smiled and replied, "Neato!"
As she took them, MIranda walked over to the Zombie area and she replied, "Wow, wow!"
She looked and she found 5 cards she wanted and she found a couple of spells and traps as well and she smiled and replied, "Cool."
As she took the cards she wanted, Lynn found 5 needed for her deck and she replied, "Good stuff here!"
The girls went up to the counter and Miranda saw another card she wanted and she smiled and replied, "How much for that card, sir?"
She pointed at the card and the clerk replied, "25 dollars."
Miranda nodded and replied, "Deal."
He nodded as he took the card and placed on the counter and Lacy brought 4 cards of her own for the deck and she replied, "Awesome selection!"
-ooo-
About 10 minutes after bying their cards, the ladies added their new cards to the deck and MIranda then replied, "I'm ready to duel!"
Lacy then replied, "Me too. I have some rare cards to use!"
Suddenly, a tall man wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers walked up to them and he replied, "I want to duel!"
MIranda then replied, "I'll duel you! I have 5 chips."
The boy then replied, "I'm Jake Lewis and I have 7!"
Miranda smiled and replied, "I Have 5 And I bet three of my own! You win, You're in the finals!"
Jake smiled and replied, "Can't resist that kind of dueling, so I accept!"
Fallon then replied, "Time to duel."
Lacy then replied, "Lets hope she uses them new cards!"
As the 3 sat down on a nearby bench, Jake and Miranda activated their disks and both drew 5 cards apiece.
"Game on!", both yelled out.
(Jake LP: 8000 - Miranda LP: 8000)
Miranda drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster facedown and a card facedown and that'll end my turn."
Jake drew a card and replied, "Opticlops, you're up!"
As he sat the card down, the one-eyed ogre appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"Attack!"
The ogre charged in and a Blood Sucker appeared on the card (DEF: 1,500) and the fiend rammed into it, blowing it to shards.

Suddenly, Vampire Lady appeared with a hiss (ATK: 1,550).
"Okay then. I end my turn now."
MIranda drew a card and replied, "I tribute her for my Vampire Lord!"
As the vampire hissed before vanishing, the more-powerful vampire appeared (ATK: 2,000).
"Destroy his Opticlops!"
The vampire and a swarm of bats came out of it and it plowed into the fiend, blasting the fiend to pieces (Jake LP: 8000 - 7800).
"Discard a Spell Card!"
He nodded as he took a Mystic Plasma Zome from his deck and discarded and then he reshuffled and he replied, "Would of helped you anyway."
"Your move."
Jake drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster a card facedown and that'll end my turn."
Miranda drew a card and replied, "Zombie Master, you're up!"
As he sat the card down, the undead sorcerer appeared...and then quickly vanished into a dark hole and Jake was smiling as he was looking at his faceup Bottomless Trap Hole.
"Damn it! Vampire Lord, attack!"
The zombie let out a barrage of bats again and a Sangan appeared on the card (DEF: 600) and the bat army blasted the small fiend to pieces as well and then he took a card from his deck and added it to his hand.

"You'll love its ability then. When Tourist of the Underworld is used to Xyz or Synchro Summon a dark monster, I can draw a card!"
He drew a card.

As he took the Tour Guide of the Underworld and discarded it, Vampire Lord rose to attack postion and groaned in pain (ATK: 2,000 - 1,000).
"Attack her Vampire Lord!"
Everyone in the tour got out a slingshot and they loaded a small rock and they all fired a rock at the vampire and he hissed as he was struck down with the rocks and blown into shards (Miranda LP: 8000 - 6900).
"Take that! I end my turn now."
Miranda drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that'll end my turn."
Jake drew a card and replied, "I summon my Tardy Orc!"
As he sat the card down..nothing appeared.
"What the?", Miranda asked.
Jake sighed and replied, "Give him a minute."
Suddenly, a large orc with a backpack on his back appeared (ATK: 2,200).
"Tardy Orc can't attack when he's normal summoned, so you lucked out. I remove another Material monster!"

"Aw, damn it!"
Suddenly, Ryu Kokki exploded into shards of bone.
"Damn, damn! I end my turn now."

'Your move now."
Jake drew a card and replied, "You're one stubborn duelist. I'll set a monster facedown and that'll end my turn."

Jake then replied, "I use this card! I activate Vengeful Evolution!"
As the fiend looked shocked and vanished into dark particles, a large dark dragon appeared with a scary roar (ATK: 2,800).
"Meet the mighty and power Diabolos, King of the Abyss!"
Lynn then replied, "Is that supposed to be the Dark King of the Abyss's evolved form?"
