In this comic relief of a chapter, we look at Thunder Kid's life after Duke kicked him out. He wanders from house to house, trying to find a new place to freeload… Little does he know that Duke warned almost everyone about him and all his shenanigans…

A certain creature whom happened to be yellow, chubby, and annoying waddled his way throughout the heavenly valley after being kicked out of his home by none other than his master's diva of a spouse. His name was Thunder Kid and he remembered all the fun times he had at their palace. Eating all their food, annoying Duke's monsters, playing ping pong with Tristan, watching television with Tristan, passing out drunk on the couch, walking in on Duke and Tristan's sex and even trying to turn it into a threesome on more than one occasion… Those were only a few of the fun things he did with his old family, but after Duke put his foot down and kicked him out much to Tristan's dismay, he found himself in search of a new home, but wasn't quite sure where to find it.

He came to beautiful palace surrounded by flowers of all colors. The palace itself was made of peach-colored stone and was absolutely beautiful. He walked along the cobblestone path leading to the front door and rang the doorbell, hoping for an answer. To his pleasure, the door was answered by a tall woman with shoulder-length brown hair. It was Tea and she looked down at Thunder Kid with sympathy.

"Awe, I heard about how Duke kicked you out and Tristan's been heartbroken. I guess you need a place to stay, don't you?" she sighed, trying to put herself in his place, despite the fact she knew it would probably be a bad idea.

"Tea, who's there?" came another voice. It was Tea's wife Rebecca Hawkins.

"Um…" said Tea as she tried to generate a valid answer because she knew her wife would in no way approve of this.

She was too late. A woman with long blonde hair and green eyes came to the door. It was Rebecca. She looked down at Thunder Kid, recognizing the yellow albatross and recalling all of the horror stories she had heard about him from Duke. She glanced at her wife, whom bore an embarrassed expression.

"Well, he's homeless…" said Tea as she tried to defend Thunder Kid.

"Tea…" glared Rebecca, whom slammed the door before pulling her wife away from it. "Under no circumstances are we letting him freeload in our castle!"

Thunder Kid rang the doorbell again and again and just would not go away. Little did he know that atop one of the palace's towers, Rebecca stood and she was whispering into the ear of her most trusted monster, whom happened to roost there.

"Make him go away," she instructed and per her command, the ,massive green dragon with diamonds jutting out of various places on its body swooped down and hovered in the air above Thunder Kid, whom was terribly small compared to him. Diamond Head Dragon then roared and Thunder Kid shrieked before turning around and running away from the palace of Tea and Rebecca. Once Diamond Head Dragon flew back up to the tower, Rebecca caressed his head and fed him a treat. "Good boy…"

Thunder Kid journeyed until he came across a large palace made of dark stone that appeared to be kind of dark yet cyber at the same time. He walked up the black staircase and rang the gargoyle-shaped door knocker before awaiting a response. To his joy, a tall man with long brown hair answered it and looked down at him with a smile.

"Awe, what's your name, little guy?" cheerfully asked Atticus Rhodes as he crouched down to Thunder Kid's level and began petting him on the head. "You must need a home. Well, I could see it now. I could dress you up and make you into a performer just like me! You'd be adorable!"

Thunder Kid smiled as Atticus continued to go on about his aspirations for him, fantasizing about turning him into some kind of dueling pop star or something until the voice of another man was heard.

"Atticus, what are you doing?" said the tall man with long blue hair, whom was dressed all in black. It was Atticus' husband, Zane Truesdale.

"Awe, Zane, he's so cute! Can we keep him?" begged Atticus.

Zane glanced downward, taking one look at Thunder Kid before coming to his conclusion.

"No… Just no…" he stated adamantly before slamming the door in Thunder Kid's face.

"But Zane, he's homeless!" pleaded Atticus.

"I don't care," replied Zane coldly.

Thunder Kid liked Atticus so much that he thought he'd try to find a way to sneak into the palace and so he went into the backyard to find an entrance, but to his sheer surprise, he looked upward to see his plans begin to be shattered before his eyes.

"Sick him," ordered Zane Truesdale from the top of one of the palace's towers and Cyberdark Dragon came rushing downward, prepared to stab Thunder Kid with its jagged jail. The chubby monster ran from the fearsome machine of a dragon, hiding in a grove of trees not far from the palace of Zane and Atticus before collapsing to the ground to rest. He was breathing heavily as sweat began to pour down his many rolls of fat making up his abdomen area.

Eventually, he got up and continued on his journey to find a new home. He came to palace that was sin credibly beautiful. Many gemstones of all sorts surrounded it and jutted from it in spectacular formations, dazzling the eyes of oncoming viewers. It was the home of Jaden Yuki and Jesse Anderson. Thunder Kid rang the door bell and Jaden answered it.

"Awe, what's your name?" he asked joyously. ""You must be homeless…Hey Jess, come here for a minute."

Per his call, Jesse came to the door and he looked down at Thunder Kid with sympathy.

"Who's this little guy, J?"

"His name's Thunder Kid. Yugi told me that Duke Devlin threw him out of his palace because he didn't behave well. He can't be that bad. I say we give him a new home - with us," smiled Jaden as Thunder Kid began to clap.

Jesse wasn't quite sure what to think. He felt bad for Thunder Ki, but he knew that he was trouble. If the rumors about how he trashed Duke's palace for years were really true than would taking him in be worth it?"

Topaz Tiger stood by Jesse and he began to sniff Thunder Kid before scowling and walking away.

"I don't know, J. Maybe we shouldn't go through with this, especially if he's as bad as Duke said he is."

"Oh, come on, Jess! He's homeless and he'll fit in with us! Please!"

"Well, how bad can he be? Alright."

Thunder Kid began to jump up and down, but couldn't make it very far, thanks to his rather voluptuous body mass. Jaden escorted him inside and took him to the kitchen.

"We should get you some food. Hold on a minute. I gotta go ask Jesse something," Jaden smiled before leaving Thunder Kid alone in the kitchen.

He began to stare at all the food around him and it was truly a plethora. He ran to the refrigerator and upon opening it, he became mesmerized by all its culinary potential and thus, began digging in. The scraps were thrown all across the room and he devoured everything within the refrigerator, stopping for nothing until he was interrupted by someone.

"What are you doing?" came a strange sounding female voice from behind him.

Thunder Kid turned around with whipped cream smeared all over his face to see a tall and peculiar looking monster before him. She had wings appeared to be rather masculine looking on one side of her body, while on the other was rather feminine looking and she had a strange sideways eye between her two normal eyes. It was Yubel and she looked perplexed as she glanced around the room, witnessing the mess in its full glory.

"I.. just.. Cleaned.. Today…" she muttered to herself.

Thunder Kid merely stared at her for a fe moments before turning around again and continuing to stuff his face with everything in the refrigerator. Yubel smacked her hand against her forehead.

"Jaden! Jesse!"

Jaden and Jesse walked into the room. Ruby Carbuncle was curled around Jesse's neck and even her expression turned to shock upon seeing what Thunder Kid had done to the kitchen. Yubel angrily pointed to Thunder Kid and Jaden and Jesse looked at one another with an expression of agreement.

"Thunder Kid, I'm sorry I have to do this, but after doing this, you can't stay here," confirmed Jaden to himself.

Thunder Kid looked at him apathetically before rushing back to the refrigerator and indulging in a can of whipped cream.

"Neos!" called Jaden and Elemental Hero Neos walked into the room.

"Escort him out of here, please," ordered Jesse with Jaden nodding his head.

Elemental Hero Neos picked up Thunder Kid, dragging him away from the refrigerator and taking him to the front yard, where he sat him down before going back into the palace and locking the doors.

Thunder Kid felt discouraged. He had visited three homes so far and had been rejected from the first two before being kicked out of the third. Tonight just wasn't his night. He wandered some more and he came across a massive palace of white stone before walking up to its front porch and ringing the doorbell. To his satisfaction, a handsome man with jet black hair answered and he looked at Thunder Kid with a care in his beautiful blue eyes. His name was Yusei Fudo.

"Awe, hey. Where's your family, little guy?" he asked and Thunder Kid's expression turned to sadness. "You must not have one anymore, huh?"

"Yusei, who's there?" called the voice of Yusei's husband, Jack Atlas.

"Jack, we have someone here who's lost. Come take a look at this," said Yusei.

Jack came to the front door and looked down at Thunder Kid coldly. His expression turned from skeptical to disgusted and his jaw dropped wide open.

"Jack, he needs a home," said Yusei.

"No! No! Yusei, do you know who this is?" freaked Jack.

"No…"

"This is Thunder Kid! Duke told me all about him and how terrible he is! There is no way that we are taking him in! Do I make myself clear?" asked Jack.

"This is the one Duke always complained about?" asked Yusei, still feeling sorry for Thunder Kid.

"Yes," stated Jack, crossing his arms.

"Jack, what if you were homeless? How would you feel?" asked Yusei, rising to his husband's level and facing him with all seriousness.

"Yusei, we are not taking him in," stated Jack before he swooped Yusei up ove rhis shoulder, slammed the door in Thunder Kid's face and began walking to the top room of one of the palace's towers.

"Jack Atlas, put me down!" demanded Yusei as he pounded against Jack's back.

"Keep trying, Yusei," replied Jack coldly before tapping Yusie on the butt and promising him some great sex later.

Outside, Thunder Kid stood at the front door, hoping Yusei would come back for him, but to his disappointment he didn't.

Atop one of the palace's towers, Jack stood and he whispered an order to his most trusted monster.

Red Dragon Archfiend swooped down from the tower's top room and hovered in the air before roaring at Thunder Kid. When Thunder Kid saw the massive red and black dragon with its lava-like skin and strong muscular body, he simply stared without making a noise because he was so frozen in fear. Red Dragon Archfiend began flapping his wings so hard that it created a gust and Thunder Kid was swept away into the distance before picking himself up and continuing onward with his journey.

Thunder Kid traveled some more and he came to a palace made of violet stone and rang its doorbell. A pretty woman with long brown hair answered the door and smiled own at him.

"Awe, it's Thunder Kid!" said Serenity Wheeler as she smiled and tried to give the chubby, yellow monster the benefit of the doubt despite what everyone else had said about him.

"Serenity, what's up?" asked her wife, whom came to the door. "What the…?"

"Mai, Thunder Kid needs a new home. We should take him in?" encouraged Serenity.

"Ugh, Serenity, are you forgetting all the horror stories Duke told us about him and all that he did when he lived with him and Tristan?" asked Mai Valentine skeptically.

"Mai, everyone deserves a second chance," said Serenity.

"Normally, I'd agree, but not this time, hun," replied Mai before slamming the door and telling her Harpie Ladies, whom had just entered the room, to make sure that Thunder Kid was off the property.

Thunder Kid sighed before walking away until he saw the Harpie Lady sisters flying through the air, directly towards him and he ran with all his might to safety.

"That'll teach him," whispered Mai to herself as she watched from a window.

Thunder Kid made his way to a strange palace that was directly in front of what looked like a Jurassic forest. He could hear many scary sounding roars coming from the forest and temporarily debated about whether or not to try this place, but he ended up ringing the doorbell anyway.

A tall, muscular, and tan-skinned man with dreadlocks answered the door. It was Tyranno Hasslberry.

"Hey there, little trooper. What brings you here?" he asked.

Thunder Kid merely stared at him blankly.

"Well, you must be in need of a home. I could take you in and teach ya everything about dinosaurs and boot camp! Won't it be fun?"

Thunder Kid continued to stare at him, making no noise whatsoever until his stomach rumbled.

"You must be hungry? I'll fix you in up some grub in the mess hall. Come on in!"

He escorted Thunder Kid to the kitchen, marching "hup two, three, four…" all the way and Thunder Kid could not care less. All he wanted was food and he was determined to get it. Once they got to the kitchen, Tyranno told him to dig in and enjoy himself, momentarily leaving to go find his husband. Thunder Kid took extreme advantage of his loneliness and just as he did at Jaden's palace, he ran to the refrigerator and began eating everything in it, tossing his scraps everywhere and making a complete mess.

"Hey, Sy, I can't wait til ya meet him. He's grea,,," said Tyranno until he reentered the kitchen and found the absolute mess that was left for him.

"What happened to my kitchen?" demanded Syrus as he stared in shock at it.

"Hey, little trooper, what did ya do all this for?" asked Tyranno.

Thunder Kid halted his eating frenzy to stare at Tyranno for only a brief second before turning his head back to the refrigerator and continuing his non-stop consumption of all the food. Syrus shrieked, telling his husband that he wanted the yellow albatross out.

"That's the yellow, fat monster thing that Jaden just told me about over the phone!" freaked Syrus.

"Alright, alright, sheesh…" replied Tyranno, whom picked up Thunder Kid and took him away from the kitchen and took him outside. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave, trooper. You've caused way too much of a ruckus here tonight."

Once Tyranno shut the door and locked Thunder Kid outside, he tried to make his way around back to find a thick jungle-like scenery spanning hundreds of acres. He began walking through it, expecting to find food, but was terrified to find a bunch of Tyranno's huge dinosaur monsters staring him down. He ran away, being chased out by them and began to look for another place to live.

Thunder Kid wandered for a while until he found another Palace. It was white and purple stone and was very pretty. He rang the doorbell to find a man with black spiky hair with pink bangs answering it. It was Yuma Tsukumo.

"Hey, little fella. What's your name?"

Thunder Kid merely stared at him before uttering an attempt at a growl that strangely, Yuma could understand.

"Thunder Kid, eh? Alright, I guess you must be looking for a home."

Thunder Kid shook his head before being petted by Yuma, whom called for his husband.

"Shark, get over here!"

A tall man with pale skin and long, purple hair that was spiked along the edges came to the door and he stared down at Thunder Kid. It was Shark.

"Awe, Shark. He's homeless. Can we keep him. Please!" begged Yuma.

"No," stated Shark adamantly, showing no sympathy whatsoever.

"Shark, what if you were homeless and needed a place to stay?"
"I'm not, so I don't care. Say goodbye to him, Yuma. I don't need someone like him stinking up my house."

With that, Shark walked away, leaving Yuma alone with Thunder Kid. He looked at the homeless monster, feeling terribly sorry for him. In fact, he felt so sorry for him that he decided to defy Shark and let him in.

"Hey, I'll let you in with us, but you've gotta keep quiet, so Shark doesn't know, alright?"

Yuma escorted Thunder Kid inside and showed him a spare bedroom where he was allowed to stay, but urged him to be quiet. Yuma went to the parlor to find Shark laying on the couch, watching television.

"You got rid of that thing, right?" asked Shark.

"Ugh, yeah. I sent him packing," answered Yuma before a large crash was heard in the kitchen.

"What was that?"

"Ugh… I don't know. I'll go check. Stay there," urged Yuma before a giant belching noise was heard from the same direction.

"What the…?" freaked Shark.

"Ugh, don't worry. I'll take care of it!" and with that, Yuma ran to the kitchen to find it in a complete mess with the refrigerator completely raided. "What am I gonna do?" he panicked before he saw Thunder Kid laying fat on the floor with his ever-expanding stomach hanging outward as he munched on a corndog and belched.

"Yuma?" asked Shark, whom was obviously coming.

"Quick, hide, Thunder Kid!" urged Yuma as he shoved the yellow monster into the other hallway.

Shark entered the room to find Yuma laying on the floor, stuffing food in his mouth. His jaw dropped wide open and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"What. The. Hell?" he asked.

"Just hangin' out here, eating all this great food!" struggled Yuma as he stuffed more food in his mouth.

"Something's fishy here… Are you sure you didn't let that yellow thing in here? I swear, Yuma, you better not have."

"Nope, I sure didn't."

"I'm gonna get to the bottom of this… I swear, Yuma, if you let in that yellow thing, when I find him I'm gonna throw him in the lake in the backyard, so all my aquatic monsters can take turns taking bites out of him…"

After Shark left the room, Yuma went to find Thunder Kid, whom had went back to the spare room he was staying in. he sighed and shook his head before he could find the words to say to the yellow annoyance.

"Thunder Kid, what you did back there was not cool. Do you understand me?"

Thunder Kid didn't seem to care as he picked his teeth, trying to get out particles of food stuck in them before belching loudly again.

"Stay here tonight, but in the morning, you're gonna have to go find somewhere else to live, alright?"

Yuma closed the door and went to get ready for bed. Within an hour, both himself and his husband were crawled into bed and having a casual conversation with each other before turning off the lights. Yuma lay away for awhile before slowly drifting off to sleep and within another hour, the door began to creek open and Shark felt something rubbing against his naked feet, which he believed was Yuma playing footsies with him.
"Yuma, stop it. I'm trying to sleep."

The sensations upon his feet continued…

"This isn't funny, Yuma. I have a big day tomorrow and need to get some rest."

Suddenly, he felt a large mass crawl under the covers and completely rub against his side and then and there he then knew that it was not Yuma.

"What the…?" as he jumped up and ripped off the covers…

"YUMA!" he screamed so loudly that probably everyone else in the valley could hear him.

"Ugh, yeah… He was homeless and I just… didn't have the heart to turn him away," laughed Yuma.

"Get. Him. Out," demanded Shark, whose face was fuming and bright red as he pointed towards the door.

Yuma escorted Thunder Kid outside as Shark began changing the sheets so as to wash them. Outside, Yuma bid the yellow monster farewell and apologized for things not working out so greatly.

"I hope you find a new home, but after that you just can't stay here, " he said, waving to Thunder Kid before walking back inside and shutting the door.

And so, here continues the story of Thunder Kid in his search for a new home. He would go wherever he thought there was food great enough to satisfy his never ending streak of hunger and so, on he walked, being on the lookout for such a place….
