Yekim and Mikey were in the middle of their duel. Yekim was at 2700LP and Mikey was down to 500. Yekim had Zamielmon at 2900atk points and Dorbickmon Darkness One at 2900 as well with Dark Code Crown. Mikey had Shoutmon X5 at 2600 and two Pickmon tokens with no defense points and Dorbickmon Dakness one launched an attack.

"Mikey quick do something." Shoutmon X5 said.

"Go Dorbickmon attack with Dragon Infernal Fire." Yekim said as Dorbickmon launched a blast of fire and destroyed Shoutmon X5 and brought Mikey to 200. "Now Zamielmon launch your arrows." Zamielmon shot an arrow and destroyed one of the Pickmon tokens. "That ends my turn."

"Mikey how could you just let Shoutmon X5 be destroyed?" Ewan said.

"Watch and see. It's my turn." Mikey said. "I activate the spell Fusion Recovery. When a fusion monster is destroyed last turn it comes back and has more attack points for each monster that was used to summon him." Shoutmon X5 rose again with 3100atk points.

"I never doubted you Mikey." Shoutmon X5 said.

"Actually you kind of did." Mikey said. "Now I us the spell Polymerization Waiter. This spell allows me to fuse monsters that are in my deck. I fuse Mystic Horse and Unicorn Of Light. Say hello to White Diamond Unicorn." The unicorn galloped on the field with 300atk points.

"So that's the mythic card you acquired." Yekim said.

"That's right and get ready to see what this steed can do." Mikey said. "I use White Diamond Unicorn's special ability to make sure he isn't affected by anything this turn and I can give the attack points of a monster in my hand to Shoutmon X5. I give Beastmon's points to him." Shoutmon's points went to 4300. "Now Shoutmon X5 attack Zamielmon with Earth Shaker."

"You got it and you know what happens next." Shoutmon X5 said as he flew up and was heading straight down as he took them both down and Yekim was brought to 1300.

"I place one face down and end my turn." Mikey said.

"My move now." Yekim said. "First I'm using the Stronger Traitor spell card. If I send a monster in my hand to the grave then I gain all of its attack points. I send Neomyotismon to the grave and gain 2800 life points." His life points went to 4100.

"Oh great he's back to full power." Jeremy said.

"Mikey better come up with something and fast." Christopher said.

"Now I use Dark Code Crown's affect. I give up 200 more life points and summon Splashmon." Yekim said as his points dropped to 3900 and Splashmon came on the field at 2800atk points. "Now I use Splashmon's ability. When he's on the field I can use him as any monster of my choice and I choose Axemon." Splashmon turned into Axemon. "Now I fuse him with the Skullknightmon in my hand to form Axeknightmon." The two fused together and formed Axeknightmon at 3000atk points.

"So he has Axeknightmon too. That means somewhere in his deck is Bagra himself waiting to come out." Mikey said.

"That is assuming if you'll be around long enough to see him." Yekim said. "Axeknightmon attack that Pickmon token." It struck the Pickmon with his lance and destroyed it.

"Why would you destroy only him?" Mikey said.

"Because now I can activate the effect of Olegmon in my hand." Yekim said. "When I destroy a monster, but you take no damage, if I send him to the graveyard then Olegmon can have a monster come to my side. Come and serve me Shoutmon X5."

"What?!" Shoutmon X5 said.

"No you can't." Mikey said.

"Just watch me." Yekim said.

"I must resist, but I can't." ShoutmonX5 said as he walked over to Yekim's side of the field and then he had no control of his own mind.

"Yekim you're the worst. Having friends face each other." Mikey said.

"Well now you're going to have to swallow your pride Mikey and face your own friend." Yekim said. "I end my turn."

"It's my move now and the effects of my White Diamond Unicorn is over." Mikey said and Shoutmon X5's points returned to normal. 'Okay I have to figure out what I'm going to do? How can I beat Shoutmon X5? Nothing I have comes close to beating his power.'

"If I were you I surrender already Mikey. You don't have a chance of beating me." Yekim said.

"We'll see about that." Mikey said. "For now I summon Beastmon in defense mode." Beastmon came up with 1400def points. "Then I'll switch White Diamond Unicorn in defense mode and end my turn." His unicorn went to defense mode and it had 100def points.

"What is he up to? Why didn't he use his Unicorn's ability?" Yekim said. "It must have something to do with that face down. I better take him out now." He drew his card. "Now Shoutmon X5 attack your former master and destroy all his monsters."

"That won't happen." Mikey said.

"Why is that? Is it your face down?" Yekim said.

"No it's Beastmon's ability. Once a turn I can stop an attack." Mikey said as Beastmon did a belly dance and blocked Shoutmon's attack. "Now I can use my trap card, Fusion Disturbance Break. When you attack and it fails it sends all fusion monsters back as well as all fusion monsters back to the owner's hand." Axeknightmon and Shoutmon X5 returned back to their owners' hands.

"That won't stop me. Now I use the Dark Code Crown's ability and summon Splashmon." Yekim said. Splashmon came back on the field and Yekim's points dropped to 3700. "Now I use his special ability to fuse him with Bagra."

"Bagra!" Mikey said.

"That's right. Now rise Darknessbagramon." Yekim said. Darknessbagramon rose up on the field with 3000atk points. "I end my turn."

"My move." Mikey said.

"Before I decide to end this I must ask you something." Yekim said. "Why is it you always want to help? Do you want to be a hero? You always worry about others and never once yourself?"

"How would you know about that?" Mikey said.

"We've been watching you. We know everything about you." Yekim said. "So let me ask one last time. What makes you do the things you do?"

"It's just plain and simple human nature." Mikey said. "I'll always help others because I just can't ignore them. In fact if I ignored all of that I wouldn't have the friends that I have now."

"That's right." Shoutmon said as he ran over to him. "Not only did Mikey become my general he became my best friend and we made new friends."

"Failing to see the reason to put others first Yekim will be your downfall." Mikey said. "Now it's my turn. I have a promise to keep for your old friend. I summon Shoutmon." Shoutmon came up with 1000atk points. "Are you ready?"

"I'm all set." Shoutmon said.

"Then let's get started." Shoutmon X4 said and both Mikey and Shoutmon began to glow. "When the hearts of a digimon and its partner are one, the impossible can be done." The two of them came together and formed Mikey's armor.

"Now let's get this over with. First I use Omnishoutmon's ability. If I exchange Shoutmon I can summon him." Mikey said and Shoutmon became Omnishoutmon. "I'll also switch my unicorn to attack mode. "Now I fuse Omnishoutmon with all my monsters including Zekegreymon and summon Shoutmon X7." They all fused together and formed Shoutmon X7 at 4000atk points with two Pickmon tokens emerging. "Now I use Shoutmon X7's ability to wipe out all your monsters."

"I think not. I use Darknessbagramon's ability to negate and destroy your monster and then you take damage equal to its attack points. This duel is over." Yekim said.

"No it isn't." Mikey said. "Because I activate the spell Fuse One. If I offer both my Pickmon tokens I can stop your ability." Both the Pickmon tokens were gone and Darknessbagaramon was stopped. "Now go!" Shoutmon x7 launched its energy wave and destroyed Darknessbagramon.

"No. I don't believe it." Yekim said.

"Yeah well believe it." Mikey said. "Shoutmon X7 and White Diamond Unicorn attack him directly." Shoutmon X7 got on the unicorn and they attacked together and all of Yekim's points were gone.

"I can't believe it I lost. I see, Mikey's true strength is that he can fuse with the hearts of others." Yekim said and that had him think back to his friend Meld before he was gone. After that Mikey and Shoutmon split.

"Mikey you won!" Angie said as she hugged him.

"Way to go man." Christopher said.

"You are the dueling master." Jeremy said.

"Thanks, but it's not over." Mikey said. He looked over and saw the crystal tower. "Now we have some friends who need help." Two barons down, but what other challenges await.
