Happy New Year! And it's also my birthday! So, to commemorate, I'm making a sneak peek chapter for the second season of my most popular story. It'll obviously be posted in a second fic, so stay tuned for that! And there are some other extras that I'll address in this chapter, so without further ado, here's the Second Season preview!

DUELTALE S2 SNEAK PEEKS!

From Chapter ONE: Dueling Advanced

Chara was right. Tristan WAS improving. At this point, Frisk was VERY outforced. And it was about to get a whole lot crazier.

"I sacrifice my Lava Battleguard together with my Roboyarou, and summon my Serpent Night Dragon, in Attack Mode!"

"Serpent Ni- But that card was a tournament prize!"

"That's right," Tristan told Frisk. "I've done better than you thought! Now, I attack you directly!"

Frisk thought fast. "I don't think so! I activate 'A Hero Emerges!' You pick a card from my hand, and I summon it!"

Tristan froze. Frisk knew that, if he hit Neos, she'd have the game won. Tristan bit his lip, and picked...

"Too bad."

He had chosen Neos.

From Chapter TWO: A Spell by Any Other Name

Undyne hadn't yet seen such a powerful card. This was one spell, alright.

"And what would I have to do to get this card?" she asked the man who had given it to her.

"It's simple," the man said. "Help our cause, and the Seal is yours. We could use you well, given your experience, to awaken the great beast..."

"No way," Undye said, taking her hand back. "Even if I get a good card, there's no way I'd hurt my friends!"

"You won't be thinking about it, if it's in your deck. That's all your goal will be."

"Then I'm not taking it," Undyne decided. "The Seal of Orichalcos is evil, then; you just said it."

"If you won't help us," the man said, chuckling, "I'll have to make sure you don't warn people."

The door shut tight behind her. She rushed over and tried to open it, but it was totally locked.

She was trapped.

From Chapter FIVE: Misguided Mother

"What are you doing, Mom?" asked Asriel, panicked. "This isn't you!"

"I'm afraid I can't let you do this. Too many people will get hurt." The look in Toriel's eyes was firm, but her mind was definitely not in the right place.

"Listen to yourself! More people will die if the Leviathan is unleashed than if not!"

"My child, you must understand. What I am doing is entirely for your own good. If you continue to oppose me- oppose US- then I will have no choice but to stop you with force."

Asriel looked at his hand. It looked perfect, but his heart didn't want his mother to fall. Nonetheless, there were only two sides to the conflict: good and evil.

"I can't let this happen, Mom. I'm sorry."

Toriel's face fell. "So am I." She pulled a card from her hand, sorry that she would have to use it against her own son. "I have no choice but to activate... the Seal of Orichalcos."

A bright green light shone from the card, as well as from the jewel around Toriel's neckl Suddenly, the Seal itself appeared on the ground. It grew til' it encircled both Dreemurs. Asriel turned around and tried to back out; but the Seal created a barrier that kept him from leaving. He turned back to his mother, who was now grinning in a manner that she probably never had before. An image of the Seal began to glow on her forehead.

"Now, my child," she said darkly, "I think it's bedtime."

Obviously, that's a lot to take in. For one, Tristan's actually a better duelist. Second, more Undyne, if you wanted that. And the big one; Toriel, not only dueling but on the side of Doma for some reason! I'll have to explain it later.

But I'm not done yet, because I have more: A side story's announcement, a quick glimpse at my plans for the series' future, and the special thanks have yet to come through!

The side story in question is a project I call KaibaTale. It's after the events of DuelTale's upcoming second season, but, in a twist, Frisk finds that Seto Kaiba is re-living her memory! And, of course, this could very well change Kaiba's worldview.

In the future of Dueltale, post-Season Two, I'm not going to write out the Dawn of the Duel arc, as that arc in my opinion is a lot more forgettable; the only things I really remembered were Yugi's independence and his duel against Atem. (And that last part, I'm going to have to showcase.) Instead, I might re-write the first season; there were so many errors pointed out by Mernom that I'll have to make a Dueltale Revised. And, of course, there's a HUGE treat to fans; Dueltale: The Abridged Series will become part of my post-season 1 lineup!

Finally, special thanks to: Mernom, who helped me learn from the mistakes I made in my first story EVER; my brother Timothy, who stood by me for the whole story; Kazuki Takahashi and Toby Fox, who created the two stories this fic is based off; and, of course, Ulrich362 for overwhelming support through everything, and thoughts on every chapter I've uploaded so far.

And for some random questions: 1: Who will win? I can't disclose that, but, because this is my story, it DOESN'T have to be Yugi. Hey, for all I care, it could be Frisk or Joey.

2: (somerandomperson) "if you include gaster in this, can you give him the wicked god cards pls" No. I'm not planning on using Gaster at least until the second season. And the Wicked Gods didn't play a part unless you read the "Yu-Gi-Oh R" manga, which I'm pretty sure was Japan only. So, no Wicked Gods for Gaster.

And 3, from myself: Are Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey going to be the ones to recieve the Atlantean Dragons? To that I say: I don't know. Yugi, definitely, and Kaiba, most likely. But Joey could be a different story; I guess we'll see.

In conclusion, 2017 was an amazing year, and I hope we can get more good work done in 2018, so here's to a (hopefully) eventful year!

Sincerely,

-Gabe
