-ooo-
Afer the duel had ended, Kelly and Yusei sat down in the stands and was talking with each other about stuff.
Kelly then replied, "So, you and Akiza got married a few years after your saved the future from Z-One?"
Yusei then replied, "Yep sure did and as our wedding was going on, Hunter Pace interupted it and Officer Trudge wanted to show that he could help and dueled himself. Trudge managed to summon his Montage Dragon and Goyo Guardian, which stole Pace's Skull Flames and a few turns later, Trudge crushed him with everything he got and he and his fellow officers arrested him and send him away. It was a great duel."
Kelly then replied, "Sounds like you have alot of good friends, Yusei. Just like me."
Yusei nodded and replied, "Sure do, Kelly. Even my friend Jack Atlas got married and he married Carly Carmine about 3 years after my wedding was done and over with."
"Sounds awesome, Yusei. With friends and family like that, everything will go good and fine!"
Yusei smiled and replied, "Very true, young lady."
Suddenly, a portal opened up and Yusei replied, "Its time to say goodbye, Kelly. It was a honor to duel you and good luck to you in your future events."
Kelly nodded as they both got up and they both shaked each other's hand before she got up and ran into the portal and she and it vanished and Yusei nodded and replied, "She's going to do just fine."
Suddenly, a cellphone began to rang and he took it out of his pocket and he replied, "Hello, honey. Want me to get some sushi rice on my way home? No problem, dear. Love you too. Bye."
He hung up the phone and replied, "Being married is one great feeling."
He ran to his Duel Runner and got on it and he drove out of the stadium in a flash.
-ooo-
Like with the 1st doors, the gang was waiting to see if Kelly was a winner or defeated.
Kristen then repleid, "Come on, sis. be a winner."
Rick then replied, "She can do it. She has a powerful dragon deck and I know she'll make us proud!"
Darrien then replied, "We're about to see about that, Rick."
Suddenly, the jewel began to glow.
Tiffany then replied, "Come on!"
Suddenly, it stopped glowing and it was on gold!
Kristen then replied, "Yes!"
Rick smiled and replied, "I'm the last one to get a win now!"
The door opened up and the gang cheered as Kelly walked out of it and she replied, "I got to duel the great Yusei Fudo!"
Kristen then replied, "Nice, girl."
Suddenly, the small treasure chest came out of the ground and she turned in and it opened up, showing a Fusion, Another Gemini monster and a Synchro and she took the cards out and read then and she smiled and replied, "Nice."
The small chest sank back into the ground and Kristen then replied, "Good cards, sis?"
Kelly turned to her and she nodded and replied, "You bet, sis! With these cards in my deck, I'll be a better duelist."
Chief then looked at Rick and replied, "You want to duel tomorrow morning like your family and friend?"
Rick nodded and replied, "Yes, sir. I need some time to go over it one more time."
"Very well, young one. You are the last duelist to have a Ritual Duel and if you win, all 4 of you and only you four have access to the portals that'll lead you to the light and dark fortresses."
Darrien looked at him and replied, "Wait, only the can enter the portals without any guide?"
Chief sighed and replied, "Afraid so, Darrien. If a non-ritual duelist tries to enter it, they will just walk through the portal without entering it. We have the Attribute Knights for Dark and Light waiting for them as soon as they enter anyway. They'll be fine."
Freed then replied, "Lets hope so."
Tiffany then replied, "Don't worry, we'll be just fine in our duels, Darrien. We have the decks and the spirit to win and save World Island."
Darrien smiled nad replied, "That's good to here, everyone. We all believe in every one of you, so good luck to you all."
Kristen nodded and replied, "Thanks, sir."
-ooo-
That night after supper, Kelly and Rick were going over their own decks. Rick was getting his ready for his next duels and Kelly was adding her newest cards to the deck.
Rick smiled and then replied, "My Toy Army deck is really to use and ready to defeat anyone."
He gathereds his cards into a deck and he looked at Kelly and replied, "Decided of what to do with your deck?"
Kelly sighed and replied, "Hardly. I can't figure it out. I use Gemini monsters and I can't think of anything that will help them out."
Rick then replied, "If I have any idea, I would tell you, sis."
"I know you would."
They heard the door opening and Darrien walked in and replied, "Evening, kids."
The kids nodded to him and Darrien looked at Kelly replied, "Having trouble with your deck?"
"Yes I am. I use Gemini monsters now and they're a bit confusing to use, sir."
Darrien nodded as he went into his pocket and took a few cards out and he replied, "Try these. Not Dragon monsters, but they'll help you out."
She took the 2 cards and she saw them and she replied, "These will help me out alot! Thank you."
"We had those cards for a while and no one had the right deck to use them."
He turned to Rick and replied, "You ready for your ritual duel, Rick?"
Rick nodded and replied, "Yes I am. The toy army is ready to go."
Darrien then replied, "I wish the best of you to your and your deck. Good night."
They both nodded to him again as he left and Kelly looked at her new cards and she smiled and replied, "This will work so well with this deck."
Rick then replied, "Everythng will go good for us, sis. We can't give up on anyone right now."
Kelly then replied, "We won't stop until we defeat the last of the fortress leaders and save World Island."
"Well said, sis. Well said."
-ooo-
Back at La Casita, Dirk and Sebastian were enjoying a late dinner of chinese food that got delievered to the building.
Dirk then replied, "This some of the best chinese food I've ever had. You can't great stuff like this in the states."
Sebastian nodded as he took a bite a of a egg roll that was nearby and he replied, "Any news from Darrien and the crew?"
"Sure do. Kelly got a win and Rick is the next one to duel now. I hope his toy army is ready to go."
Sebastian then replied, "The way they've suprised us, I don't think we have much to worry about."
Dirk nodded and replied, "You're right. Duel anymore of those Fang Scum?"
"Not a one lately. I think they finally quieted down for now. I only wonder where the hell they're coming from. The Fangs are being more brutal."
"We'll be ready for them, no matter what happens, my frriend."
-ooo-
That next day, Rick was standing infront of his door while his friends and family were right behind him.
Chief then replied, "You all ready for this duel, young man."
Rick sighed and replied, "As ready as I'll ever be."
Rochelle ran up to him and she looked at him and replied, "You can do it, babe. I love you and you're a awesome duelist and a great boyfriend. You'll make us all proud."
They both smiled at each other as they both kissed and as she ran back, Rick then replied, "Lets do this!"
The door slid into the ground and the portal appeared and he quickly ran into it as it closed up and Rochelle smiled and replied, "Good luck, hon."
Kelly then replied, "We all believe in you, Rick. You can do it."
-ooo-
A little while later, Rick was on his back on the ground of somesort.
He slowly opened his eyes and stood up and looked around and he gasped as he was in space!
Rick quickly looked around and replied, "Where the heck am I? How can I duel if I don't know where the heck I am?"
"I can try to help you.", a voice said behind him.
Rick turned around and there was a silver-colored ghost-like spirit right infront of him and Rick replied, "First of all, I'm Rick. Next, who are you and where the heck am I?"
The spirit then replied, "My name is Astral and you're in the Astral World, young man. Far away from earth as well."
Rick then replied, "You know how to duel?"
The spirit nodded and replied, "I do and you're here to duel me, I'm assuming?"
Rick nodded and replied, "Yes, Astral."
The spirit nodded and replied, "Very well, young man."

Suddenly, another of the toys appeared (ATK: 200).

"With this card, I can send up to 3 Xyz monsters, Synchros or Fusion monsters from my Extra Deck to the graveyard and I choose Xyz monsters."
He took 3 different named Utopia monsters (Number C39: Utopia Ray, Number 39: Utopia Roots and Number C39: Utopia Ray V) and discarded them to the graveyard and he replied, "Any monster send to the graveyard with this effect cannot be special summoned."
"Then why would you send them away then?", a confused Rick asked.
"You'll see soon enough. I activate Upstart Goblin."
As he drew card, Rick glowed (Rick LP: 1350 - 2350).
"Next, I'll switch my warrior to defense and then I"ll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
Rick drew a card and replied, "I first play Toy Robot Box."
As he took a 2nd Armor Breaker and discarded it, 3 more of the robot tokens appeared (ATK: 0 x3).
"Next, I play Token Thanksgiving."
Suddenly, the 4 tokens vanished into particles and they flew into him (Rick LP: 2350 - 5550) and then he replied, "I now summon my Toy Magician!"
As she sat the card down, the plastic wizard appeared (ATK: 1,600).
"Lets do it. Ziggeraut, attack!"
The machine fired its attack and it struck, blowing Dongadonga Knight to atoms and then a robot token fell out of its mouth and knelt (DEF: 0).
"Toy Magician, attack directly."
He aimed his scepter at Astral and then replied, "I activate The Door of Destiny."
As he activated the card, a huge gate with a demonic face appeared and it was covered in chains (ATK: 0).
"Okay...then. I end my turn now."
Astral drew a card and replied, "Since Its my standby phase, I activate my Door's other ability. I have to banish any number of Utopia monsters from my graveyard and you take 500 damage for each one and my door gains the total damage you lost from its effect and I'll banish 5 of them."
Suddenly, all 5 Utopia monsters flew out of his Graveyard slot and the door opened up and the cards flew into it and Rick began to glow red (Rick LP: 5550 - 3050) and then the gate began to glow (ATK: 0 - 2,500).
Rick then replied, "Neat."
"I know. Attack his Toy Magician with Stream of Destiny."
The huge door opened up and a huge fiery wave of light shot out and struck struck, reducing Toy Magician to a puddle of melted plastic (Rick LP: 3050 - 2150).
"There you go. I activate Dian Keto."
Astral began to glow (Astral LP: 1600 - 2600) and he nodded and replied, "I'll set a card and thats my turn now."
Rick drew a card and replied, "I'll play Ego Boost!"
Suddenly, the cannons began to glow (ATK: 2,500 - 3,500).
"Bring that door down!"
The cannons aimed and fired and the barrage of blasts and bullets shot out and struck the huge door and explosions happened all around the door before it collapsed into a pile of broken metal and rusted chains (Astral LP: 2600 - 1600) and then another token dropped out of its mouth (DEF: 0).
"There you go. I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
Astral drew a card and then Rick quickly replied, "I activate Token Feastevil!"
The trap flipped up and both tokens shattered into tiny shards of metal and they flew into Astral (Astral LP: 1600 - 1000). and then he replied, "If you say so, young man. I activate my facedown card Doma the Spirit."
Suddenly, a dark zombie-like dragon appeared with a weak roar (ATK: 1,800).
"Next, I summon my 2nd Gagaga Gardna."
As he sat the card down, the armored warrior appeared (ATK: 1,500).
"I now overlay them both."
Both monsters turned into glowing white orbs and a portal opened up, which they flew into.
"I use these monsters to build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon. I bring forth..Number 39: Utopia."
As he sat the card down, the gold armored warrior appeared (ATK: 2,500).
Rick then replied, "What are you up to?"
"You're going to see now. I rank up Utopia by discarding a Rank-Up Spell card and tributing Utopia."
As he began to glow, he discarded the card and Utopia transformed into a huge and powerful dragon with the number 99 near its head (ATK: 4,000).
"Meet the mighty and powerful Number 99: Utopic Dragon."
Rick gulped and replied, "Oh, boy. That thing is powerful."
"Yes it is. Now, attack his Air Fortress Ziggeraut with with your Flames of Utopia."
The dragon roared as it launched a huge burst of flames and it shot out and went right through the front of the huge airship and cleanly out the back of it and then small fiery explosions happened all over the huge airship and then it exploded in a huge fiery explosion that rained down globs of slag and melted metal onto the ground (Rick LP: 2150 - 650).
Astal nodded and replied, "There you go. I'll end my turn now."
Rick drew a card and replied, "I"ll set a monster and 1 cards facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Astral drew a card and replied, "Utopic Dragon, attack."
The dragon let out its fiery flames again and a Card Blocker appeared on the card (DEF: 400) and was obliterated as the flames struck it down.
"Your turn now, young man."
RIck drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Card Trooper!"
As he sat the card down, the cute small robot appeared (ATK: 400).
"I now send the top 3 cards of my deck to the graveyard!"
He took the top 3 cards (Which were a 2nd Toy Emperor, a 2nd March of the Toys and a Call of the Haunted) and discarded all 3 cards (ATK: 400 - 1,900) and then he replied, "I now activate one of my favorite trap cards and its Unbreakable Spirit!"
Suddenly, the small toy began to glow (ATK: 1,900 - 5,900).
Astral nodded and replied, "You are the better duelist, young man."
"Thanks for awesome duelist, my friend. Card Trooper, attack Utopic Dragon."
The small machine aimed at the huge dragon and fired its laser and it shot out and struck the huge dragon and it gave one last loud and proud before it exploded into thousands of golden shards that rained down onto the ground (Astral LP: 1000 - 0).
Rick smiled and replied, "That's game, Astral."
