Yuki's POV
"You were amazing!" Luna and Leo cheered when I met up with them after my duel.
"I aim to impress." I smiled.
"That was so cool you were like BAM and WHAM and so many monsters!" Leo yelled.
"Alright relax." I patted his head.
"Thanks for taking my place." Luna smiled at me.
"Oh it's no big deal, it's all part of my job." I told her "And even if it wasn't, I'd have done it for you anyway."
"Hmm." Luna blushed a bit and smiled.
The other duels in the first round were interesting, the girl named Akiza won against the knight but in the end it was clear she was the Witch from the other day.
Yusei had a Turbo Duel against Hunter Pace and won while the Inspector in the grey suit beat his opponent easily.
"Guess I get to Duel Yusei next." I smiled "I'm looking forward to it."
"Ladies and Gentleman we have a special announcement!" the Emcee yelled "While we get ready for the second round we have a wonderful exhibition match for you to watch between one of our previously eliminated players and a lucky member of our audience!"
"Our previously eliminated contestant will be…" the randomizer spun "Professor Frank."
"It's that guy that lost super easy." Leo noted.
The lights in the arena dimmed.
"And our audience player will be…" a spotlight spun around "This lucky young miss!"
"W-What no I don't wanna!" Luna yelled.
It can't be a coincidence.
"Just do you best." I smiled "We'll be right here."
Luna nervously walked down to the ring to start her duel. As soon as she started I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, like something was going to go wrong. The way Frank played monsters, the way he was always asking questions…he was up to something, especially once Luna played her field spell that made a dense forest appear.
"No…this isn't right." I chewed my nail walking down the stairs "Something is wrong!"
I jumped the barrier and ran up
"LUNA!"
"Ugh." She stumbled around as the duel suddenly ended "My head…"
"Luna!" I caught her as she fell.
"What…happened?" she groaned "I was…he was…someplace else. Yuki I'm."
"It's fine." I hugged her tight "I'm right here, I won't let anything happen to you."
"Can we…just leave?" she begged.
"Of course." I followed her off the field.
"Her arm, looks like Yusei's." Cleopatra noted.
"I saw." I stopped her.
"What should we do with that man?" she looked at Luna's opponent "Shall I crush his mind with our God's Hand?"
"No, leave him be." I said.
Something is going on here…If I keep winning maybe I'll be able to learn more.
Later
"Are you okay?" I asked Luna checking on her before I went out for my duel with Yusei.
"I'll be fine." She smiled "Thanks for looking in on me though."
"Of course I'd do anything." I brushed her bangs out of her face "You're practically family."
"Hmm." She smiled "That's be nice."
"What?" I raised an eyebrow.
"At least you're around all the time." She sighed "Unlike my real Parents."
"Luna." I poked her nose "Don't go saying things like that."
"Sorry." She smiled hugging me.
"Well I've gotta get ready for my next duel, wish me luck." I smiled.
"I'll be cheering you on!" Luna smiled.
Sorry Yusei, I know you're gunning to get to Jack but I've gotta stay playing to and get answers about what these people want with Luna…and what all those dragon symbols are.
