Hey just saying I included not one not two but three custom decks throughout this story and one of them is in the next one or two chapters, so I hope you enjoy. Also, am I making these chapters too short?

Shark clenches his fest and exclaims, "What do you mean your playground!?"

Michael has a cocky smile on his face and says, "Why, just that. This isn't Astral World. Just a replica of it. You are in my domain and I intend to make you suffer."

Shark and Astral both have shocked looks on their faces on how much power Michael truly has. However, Shark tries not to let it phase him, and exclaims, "Let Yuma go this instant!"

Michael once again smiles and says, "Know I think not. In fact, I'm not even going to lift a finger to defeat you. They're going to do all the work for me."

Shark gives off a confused look and says, "They!? Whose they?"

Then Astral says in fear, "I think he means them", and Shark looks behind him and is horrified by what he sees. He struggles to keep his leg still as distress flows through him. For the rest of the Seven Barian Emperors were standing in a circle with him in the center.

"That's right, Shark. You have to deal with the full might of five Barian Emperors. I wonder, what are you going to do? If you don't fight, then you will lose, and you'll never see Yuma again. If you do fight and win, then you not only hurt your friends, but the power of their memories is added onto mine. Quite a predicament we have."

Shark clenches his fist, grits his teeth and exclaims with great ferocity, "You think this is a game!? You're toying with people's lives here!"

Michael all of a sudden gives off a look of pure and cold, unfeeling anger that sends chills down even Astral's spine. "You mean how you put everyone at risk when you tried merging the three worlds? Face it, you're no better than me as far as morality goes.

"And I'm sorry for what happened to you and your sister but believe me, revenge is not the way!"

Michael then turns around with his glowing yellow cape facing Shark and says, "I'm done with this conversation. I'll be at the tower over there if you somehow manage to survive.", then Michael points to a part of the Astral city which has a tall, blue spire made of crystal with stained glass windows portraying Don Thousand's defeat. Then, the newly returned Barian Emperors activate their Duel Disks. Shark says, "Please! I don't wanna fight you! You need to remember who you are!"

Then, Mizar speaks and says, "Oh please. We know who we are."

Girag joins in and says, "Yeah, we're the Barian Emperors and we have only one goal!", as he flexes his huge biceps.

Alito finishes by saying, "To destroy Astral World. It's you who needs to remember who you are, Nash. Our leader. Now activate your Duel Disk or we'll do it for you."

Shark looks at his Duel Disk with reluctance and Astral says, "Shark, we need to get past them, so we can defeat Michael and rescue Yuma."

Shark then looks up at the blue sky of Astral World, remembering what he's fighting for. He smirks and says, "You're right Astral Now who wants some!?"
