The next day, after Amon and Pegasus talked with Ms. Chiba late last night, a helicopter flew over to Duelist Coliseum that caused Pegasus to meet the person that was brought here. While everyone was having breakfast, Duke glanced at Amon and Selene for a moment. "Who do you think you two will be dueling against?" He asked them as Amon looked at him for a brief second and went back eating to his food.
"Well, brother wishes to duel against Keku and I do not mind dueling against Apep. No one messes with our friends and get away with it," Selene said as she looked at Duke.
"Maybe you two should do a tag duel against them?" Téa suggested as she looked at the twins. "I mean, this is the finals and you know there has to be four finalists to compete for the semi-finals," she stated.
Amon swallowed his food and looked at Téa as he wiped his mouth a bit with the napkin. "I like your idea," he said as he saw the Ishtar family coming in finally with Malik, who had a scowl on his face when he heard the news about Bakura becoming someone's servant."Seems he has heard the news?" Amon asked Ishizu, causing her to nod her head only once.
"He wishes that he was in the tournament so he could punish Set greatly," she replied calmly.
"Well, I was about to ask Pegasus something after breakfast," Amon said as he used his powers to pull the chairs back for them to sit in, causing them to do so.
"You rarely show your powers to anyone. Are you feeling more comfortable that everyone knows your secret?" Ishizu asked him as Amon glanced at him for a moment.
"Yeah. Plus, we could use our abilities to protect you guys against the threat when either of us are dueling against one of them," Amon answered truthfully.
"You know you must wear your items in the duel so you can guard yourselves," Marik said as he looked at them calmly. "You'll never know in case they pull something off like they did with the others," he stated.
"Believe us, we will make sure to do that," Selene replied to him as she smiled softly.
While they continued to have breakfast, the door opened up as they turned their attention over Pegasus and Ms. Chiba next to him, causing the twins to get up quickly. "Mother," Selene said as she went over to her, hugging her close while Amon followed quickly behind.
"Hello Selene. Hello Amon," Layla said as she hugged her children back, causing them to look at them.
"Mother? What are you doing here?" Amon asked as he looked worried a bit.
"I came here to support you both. If Set is going to be using your father's appearance, then no doubt he'll have his memories," Layla answered.
"So we'll be using that against Set then," Seto said as he looked at Ms. Chiba, causing him to walk over to her calmly.
"Yes," Layla replied as she looked at Seto. "I can tell you are watching over my baby girl when I was at home, and I'm glad that she has a wonderful boyfriend like you," she said as Seto nodded his head towards her.
Seto looked at Pegasus calmly, causing Pegasus to look at the other. "Pegasus, we have a request for you," he said as Pegasus raised a brow at him.
"What may that be, Kaiba boy?" Pegasus asked him as Seto had a mental twitch whenever Pegasus called him that.
"We would want to have a Tag Duel. Apep and Keku versus Amon and Selene," he requested as he didn't know what the answer would be.
"We thought the sooner we defeat them, the sooner that Mai and Joey would be release from the Shadow Realm," Selene said. "And we don't want Set to get stronger by collecting more souls for him to take over this world like he tried to do five thousand years ago," Amon stated.
"A good point from both players. Very well, I shall try to rearrange it," Pegasus said as he looked at Layla. "You just get some breakfast and I'll be back shortly," he told her in an assuring voice as he kissed her on the forehead and walked off.
Layla walked over to the table as she sat next to Ishizu and her family.
"Wai-wait a minute! Is Pegasus dating your mom, Amon?" Tristan asked as he looked in shocked along with everyone else.
"Yeah. They been together for a month now," Amon replied. "You got a problem on who our mother dates?" He asked as he had that slight glare to him.
"N-Nope! No problems here!" Tristan said in a nervous tone as Layla just shook her head.
"Amon, please be nice to your friend," she said to him as her son looked over at her for a brief moment, nodding his head once as he went back to calm again.
"Ms. Chiba? Can I ask you something?" Serenity asked her as Layla looked at her.
"What is it dear?" She asked her in a calming manner.
"Do you think that Mr. Pegasus is going to ask you to marry him? Because I think it would be romantic if he did," Serenity said as Layla softly smiled.
"Well, we will have to see then," Layla replied as she had heard about Amon and Selene's friends from her own children and was glad that they made so many during their time here at Domino City.
As the evening came by, all the participating duelists that remained in the finals came to the dueling platform that Mr. Croquet was holding the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, this duel will be a tag duel match! When I call out your names, please come on to the platform," he said as he looked at the names on the paper. "Amon and Selene Chiba," he called out first as both twins got on their side of the platform as Amon glanced at his sister for a moment.
"You ready?" He asked her.
"You know I am," she replied as she looked at him. "But you know my deck—" she was stopped by her brother in mid sentence as he nodded his head, knowing what she had with her that would be their trump card for them, but would cause some problem for him as well.
"Just keep that as a surprise for our opponents," Amon said as Selene nodded.
"Will Apep and Keku come up on the dueling platform?" Mr. Croquet requested as both duelists came on the platform and looked at the two opponents in front of them.
"I see we're going to see which one of us makes it through in this little battle," Apep said as she smirked faintly towards Selene and Amon.
"You smirk like that, your face is going to be twice as ugly than it was," Amon answered as he made her narrowed her eyes at him.
"Talking trash before the match. I see you have associated with these mortals that you are beginning to think like that," Keku said to them.
"I think you are too blinded in the dark to see your own fate being sealed by us," Selene answered back as Yugi and the others were cheering for them while Set was nowhere to be found.
"I am guessing that your master will not be watching you two duel against us?" Amon questioned.
"He has important matters to attend than watching this match," Keku answered him as Mr. Croquet walked to the center of the ring.
"This is going to be a simple coin toss. Whoever is right, starts off first," he explained. "Now call it," he said as he flipped the coin in the air.
"Heads!" Selene and Amon said at once.
"Tails!" Keku and Apep said as well.
As the coin landed on the ground, it was facing up as Selene and Amon nodded at each other for a moment. "Since this is a tag duel, it is up to the players how they will wish to battle," Mr. Croquet said. "Talk amongst yourselves now and give me your answer," he added as he watched the Chiba siblings talked amongst themselves for a moment as Selene looked over at him.
"Amon will set out his cards first and end, causing Keku to start his turn until he ends, and I will go next and then Apep," she explained to him as she looked at her opponents. "Any objection to that?" She asked them, causing them both to shake their heads.
"Alright! Let the match begin!" Mr. Croquet said, making both teams to look at each other with a serious game look while knowing either of them would be entering the Shadow Realm.
"Let's duel!" Both sides cried out as their life points were at 8000 with their duel disks activated.
As the duel began, Amon drew his cards and then pulled out the sixth one, looking at them for a moment. 'Crap. I don't have a good hand,' he told his sister by thought as she glanced at him for a moment.
'Just put something down and end. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll draw something,' Selene said to him in a confident.
"I play Newdoria in attack mode and end my turn," Amon said as he looked at their opponents.
"A pitiful monster," Keku said as he drew his card, looking at it for a moment and then looked at his hand for a good amount of time. "Hm..which to summon?" He questioned himself out loud, causing everyone to glare a bit.
"You are so enjoying this delay game, aren't you?" Amon questioned with an annoyed tone of voice.
"Maybe. Or maybe I wish to see how long I break you out of your focus?" Keku replied with a question of his own. "I summon Dark Scorpion Meanae on the field in defense mode," Keku said as he summoned his monster on the playing field. "Now I play the magic card The A. Forces on the field, boosting up Meanae's attack to 1200. This card also affect my warrior monsters I have in my deck, so do be prepare Amon," Keku said as the other just looked at him with an unimpressed look on his face. "I end my turn," Keku said as he watched Selene drawing her card.
As Selene drew her card, she looked at her hand very carefully as she knew it was a pretty bad hand. While she was deciding, Apep just smirked at her a bit. "Looks like the cards are not playing well in your favor," she said to Selene, causing Selene to briefly glanced up at her for a moment.
"You might be surprise," Selene replied as she looked at her hand again.
"Like seeing our master take your late father's appearance? Or maybe it's just his body that he had taken over after that little death of his?" Apep questioned as Amon gave her a sharp glare. "Oh, did I hit a nerve?" Apep asked as Selene's hand was turning into a fist slowly while shaking just a bit.
"You wish to see me in action, Apep? Fine. I summon The Agent of Mystery – Earth on the field in attack mode," Selene said as she summoned her angelic monster on the field.
"That is weak monster," Keku said as he chuckled a bit.
"Looks can be deceiving, Keku. When she is normal summoned, I can add one 'The Agent' monster from my deck to my hand except this card," Selene answered as she began to search through her deck.
After she had found the card she was looking for, she drew the card from her deck as she allowed her brother to assist her shuffle her deck and putting it back in her duel disk. "Now I place two cards face down and end my turn," she said after setting her cards down as she turned her gaze over to Apep, who drew her card.
"Cute, but I am afraid the darkness will consume the light of yours," Apep said to her as she showed her monster. "I summon Nightmare Horse on the playing field," she stated as she saw a zombie-like horse creature appear on the battlefield. "Even though you have monsters on your side of the field, my monster attacks your life points directly!" She exclaimed as she watched her beast set into action, taking away 500 life points from the twins, leaving them with 7500. "Hm..Seems I do not have any good defense cards in my hand, Keku. So I end my turn," she said as she saw Amon drawing his card.
"You idiots fell for my trap with those two monsters you have there," Amon said as he smirked. "I'll tribute your monsters to let you own my Lava Golem!" He called out as he watched the Nightmare Horse and Meanae vanished before them as Lava Golem appeared.
"Damn you Medjai.." Keku said with a scowl on his face.
"I am not over yet. I will pay 800 life points to control him thanks to Brain Control," Amon said as he watched the monster being taken control as their life points went from 7500 to 6700. "Lava Golem! Burn them alive!" He ordered as he watched the Lava Golem attacking its owners, bringing their life points from 8000 to 5000. "Now I summon another Newdoria and I end my turn," Amon said as he watched the Golem going back to Keku and Apep's side as their life points went down another 1000 on Keku's standby phase.
"Do something Keku or we'll be out in no time," Apep told her partner as Keku drew his card and saw exactly what he needed.
"Oh my dear Apep, we have a chance indeed," Keku said as he smirked. "I'll sacrifice Lava Golem to summon Dark Scorpion Gorg!" Keku called out as he watched the Lava Golem going away as Gorg emerged from the harden magma surface itself while wielding his large hammer. Keku laughed as he looked at the twins with an evil smirk on his face. "Seems that we have the upper hand now," Keku said as the twins looked at their opponent's monster while their friends watched, wondering what will their enemies will do next.
