Following Kylie's duel against the Barbarian chief the party was escorted back to the defeated chieftain's village which ended up being an hour's walk from the clearing, however Chelsea had other things on her mind as they related to her ex-girlfriend.

"Since when has Kylie ever ran an Exodia deck?" Chelsea wondered as she glanced over at Kylie who was awaiting the party's second destiny orb which the chieftain had promised them. "She ran a Dark Fiend deck back in the day sure, but she always stayed away from Exodia decks, hell she considered them to be no skill bullshit decks." Chelsea thought as one of the tribesman brought over the destiny orb, the party had gotten the XP from Kylie beating the Chieftain during the walk to the village and when Kylie received the orb they got two more pings, one for the XP and the other for the level up.

"We thank you for your kind service to the tribe." The chieftain addressed the party breaking Chelsea's train of thought in the process as she turned to her. "Chelsea, if you want our allegiance against the king you have it."

"If only it was that easy against the other guy." Chelsea scoffed with a grin on her face and the chieftain nodded in agreement. "And then there's Kylie calling me her girlfriend, part of me hopes that it was just a slip of the tongue on her part but still…." Chelsea's thoughts trailed off as she glanced over at her ex.

"It is getting late and you are welcome to stay overnight in the village." The chieftain continued and Chelsea turned her attention back to her. "But come morning, we will need to prepare for battle once more, the rival chieftain will not take this defeat lying down and if you want to assist us against him, your help will be appreciated."

"We defeated this chieftain once and we'll do it again." Kaiba chimed in with a confident smirk on his face as he stepped forward. "And unlike my companion, I will finish the job!"

"I don't know what's worse, Kaiba not even bothering to ask if he can have the next duel." Chelsea thought as a massive sweat-drop rolled down her head. "Or that I'm not surprised by that fact to say the least!"

"If it comes to it, I look forward to seeing you in battle." The chieftain nodded in approval before motioning them to leave her tent. "Now if you excuse me, I have battle preparations to do, my men will show you to your tents." The chieftain added and the party left the chieftain's tent.

*later*

As luck would have it, Chelsea and Kylie's tents were right next to each other and after Chelsea found herself unable to get any sleep, she left the tent to get some fresh air.

"Couldn't get any sleep either?" Kylie's voice rang out and Chelsea glanced over at her ex as she walked up to the taller woman, Kylie had ditched her armor for more casual clothing, namely a black sleeveless shirt that left her midriff exposed and black trousers which didn't go unnoticed by Chelsea. "Don't know why, I slept like a baby last night."

"I can think of a few reasons." Chelsea sighed as she turned to her ex. "But first, what's with the change of wardrobe?"

"Oh, this? I can never get to sleep in my armor, so I brought some casual clothes from a village before those mercenaries captured me." Kylie admitted as she made herself comfortable. "Anything else on your mind?"

"How'd you guess?" Chelsea asked before taking a deep breath. "Ever since your duel against the chieftain I've had a couple of questions in mind for you and this seems like a good a time as any to ask them."

"Considering how busy we'll apparently be tomorrow I can't help but agree." Kylie nodded before she sat down on the grass and Chelsea joined her. "Fire away."

"I'll start with the less heavy one, ironically enough knowing my taste in music." Chelsea joked before shaking her head. "Since when did you run an Exodia deck? I thought you hated those?"

"And I still do, but you know me, I like to run multiple decks." Kylie responded as she shifted her weight. "Besides, this is a deck that I developed exclusively for this tournament. I figured "why waste time with low level enemies" so I developed a deck that could get Exodia out quickly, even researched my deck master for it in advance, and yes, that does take the level system into account." Kylie responded and Chelsea nodded once she got her reasoning. "And I think I know what your other question is."

"Was it that obvious?" Chelsea asked rhetorically before letting out a deep breath. "You called me your girlfriend back there, please tell me that was a slip of the tongue?"

"It was the elephant in the room Chels, it was bound to come up sooner or later." Kylie nodded before sighing. "And believe me, I wish it was a slip of the tongue, god knows how you loved my slip of the tongues back in the day."

"I'm not sure if that's meant to be a sexual innuendo or not." Chelsea responded with a slight laugh before it hit her like a ton of bricks. "What exactly are you saying?!"

"What I'm saying is that I spent the last nine years or so convincing myself that I was over how our relationship ended." Kylie sighed and Chelsea's frown deepened as it dawned on her. "But it was all a lie, truth is I never got over how our relationship ended."

"Are you fucking shitting me?!" Chelsea responded as she ran a hand down her face. "Why didn't you say anything sooner?!"

"Because I was trying to keep things professional between us, I already knew that things would be awkward enough for us with Ray in the party!" Kylie defended herself and Chelsea let out an annoyed grunt. "Look, if you want to change parties or me to change parties, I'd totally understand."

"No, we're in it for the long haul now." Chelsea responded as she shook her head before glancing up at her ex. "Does your current partner know?"

"I haven't told him directly, but I think he's always known." Kylie admitted as she took a deep breath. "It's just that, I tried telling my parents that we could totally make a long distance relationship work, especially after I helped you get out of the relationship with Dan, but they didn't want me dating someone with a criminal record, and before you ask, no they didn't care that you were let out for good behavior after a year." Kylie added as she nudged closer to her ex. "I showed them up the moment I moved out by dating a guy with a record."

"Really? Non-violent I hope?" Chelsea asked with a raised eyebrow as Kylie turned her body towards her ex.

"He was a convicted shoplifter, like you he never went back to jail after his one conviction." Kylie added before sighing. "That relationship ended badly as well but for a different reason, not one I'm interested in going into detail right now."

"If anyone knows about bad break ups, it's me, I'm practically the fucking queen of them!" Chelsea grunted in annoyance before she relaxed a bit. "If it helps, I had a hard time getting over how our relationship ended as well, especially because you helped me get out of the abusive relationship with Dan, but me and Beth are happy together."

"I don't doubt for a second that you are." Kylie added before leaning in closer to the point were the two women's faces were inches apart. "Even so, do you ever wonder what could've been between us?"

"Until I met Beth, that was practically all I could think about." Chelsea admitted before noticing how close Kylie was. "Are you coming on to me?"

"Why not? Just like old times, right?" Kylie asked and Chelsea frowned. "You must've been getting lonely since Beth's not in the tournament." Kylie added and Chelsea initially went to pull away from her ex but she had to admit that not only was she feeling especially lonely due to Beth not participating but looking into Kylie's eyes from such a short distance brought back plenty of happy memories from when the two women were dating.

Enough happy memories for Chelsea to grab her ex by her shirt and pull her in closer. "Just this once." Chelsea responded with a small grin before the two women kissed each other passionately, it didn't take long for their hands to go up and down their bodies until Chelsea stopped just as Kylie went to remove her crop top.

"What's the matter?" Kylie asked as Chelsea backed away a bit and she licked her lips. "Having second thoughts?" Kylie asked with a coy grin and Chelsea shook her head before kissing her again.

"Like hell, I forgot how good a kisser you are." Chelsea responded before she stood up and offered Kylie her hand, Kylie took it and her ex pulled her up into a tight embrace before they resumed having sex, at least long enough for Chelsea to und Kylie's bra through her clothes and for Kylie to take it off through the dip in her top's neckline.. "Just not out here." Chelsea responded leading her ex into her tent, once they were inside and Kylie had tossed her bra to the side, they resumed having sex and it wasn't long before Chelsea was on her back with Kylie on top. "I hope I won't live to regret this when I get back home." Chelsea thought as Kylie kissed her neck.

*back at the HUD*

By now Sophia's party was near their next destination but that didn't mean that Sophia didn't have to be updated on the current goings on in the tournament including what was going on between Kylie and Chelsea.

"I thought this was a Duel Monster's tournament, not a damn Soap Opera!" Sophia sighed as she watched the conversation between Kylie and Chelsea, when the two women started having sex Sophia's eyebrows shot up. "This is why you interrupted my beauty sleep?"

"Yep, funny how two women currently in relationships who aren't in a True Love storyline are having a better sex life than the two women who are." Rachel commented as she shook her head and Sophia frowned. "Something on your mind?"

"Plenty, but I'll start with the obvious one." Sophia responded as she watched the two women have sex. "Chelsea doesn't talk about it much in public, but she was straight at one point." Sophia added as she watched Chelsea lead Kylie into her tent. "And as she just alluded to, her last relationship with a man turned abusive, I only know this because she confronted that son of a bitch during the Orichalcos Saga."

"And now she's hooking up with the woman who not only got her out of that relationship but was her first lesbian lover." Rachel nodded as she got the idea. "If it anyone else I would've thought that it was kind of sweet."

"Except that they are both in relationships." Sophia nodded as she folded her arms. ""I will admit, they make a hot couple and even I noticed the sexual tension between them was so thick that you could cut it with a knife but Beth wasn't invited to the tournament because of her poor track record on the pro-leagues." Sophia explained as Rachel nodded. "And then there's the fact that she's accepted a teaching position at North Academy so even if she was invited, she would have had to decline, but that leaves Kylie's boyfriend, who happens to be a competitor in the tournament." Sophia added as she messaged her forehead in annoyance. "What do we know about Kylie's boyfriend?"

"His name's Raphael Starks and he's from Las Vegas, came in second during the Las Vegas regionals last month and they apparently met during Kylie's time at North Academy." Rachel responded as she loaded his picture up. "Runs a Lightsworm deck and he's in Claudio's party, just snagged his party's second destiny orb as a matter of fact."

"One would almost think that Kylie had something for people who run Light Attribute decks." Sophia chuckled before shaking her head. "Don't suppose there's an NPC that we can have interrupt Chelsea and Kylie before things get too wild?"

"Even if there was, it's too late for it now." Rachel responded as she shook her head. "They are both naked and having a passionate sex session, don't suppose you want to know what position they are in?"

"As attractive as both Chelsea and Kylie are, I'll pass." Sophia responded as she shook her head. "And I'm sure that they are both great in bed with other women considering how long Chelsea's been out of the closet as a lesbian and how many female lovers Kylie's had, Chelsea included, but right now, I'm more concerned with the potential PR fallout from this."

"They are both grown adults, maybe they'll talk it over with their respective partners." Rachel offered as a solution and Sophia frowned. "Besides, if what Kylie said about her relationship is true than Raphael shouldn't see a problem with it, if anything he'll probably be enquiring about footage of his girlfriend having sex with Chelsea."

"And if said footage does exist, I'm calling first dibs." Sophia said bluntly and Rachel face-faulted. "What? You think Chelsea's the only lonely woman on the island? I'm bi as well so I'd need something to keep me occupied."

"I'm just going to ignore that I heard that sentence come out of the mouth of the woman who signs my paychecks." Rachel deadpanned as she righted herself. "Shifting the topic just a bit but with Chelsea's party having grabbed their second orb that leaves only a few parties who are still at level one, including Chloe's party."

"With how the system was designed, that won't last long." Sophia responded as she shook her head. "I can only assume that Chloe's party isn't that far off from their first level up?"

"Literally one duel away." Rachel nodded in acknowledgement. "And they aren't far off from their next story point either."

"Good, let's shift focus to them, leave the other lovebirds alone for now." Sophia nodded as Rachel changed who the screen was showing.

"Just one question." Rachel chimed in and Sophia turned to her. "Chloe and Amanda, I can understand since they had no way of knowing that they would end up in the true love storyline together but why the interest in Chelsea and Kylie?"

"Aside from how hot they are and how hot their sex session will be? Concern for their careers mostly." Sophia admitted as she folded her arms. "Chelsea is already a controversial figure because she's open about her lesbian status and isn't afraid to speak her mind, Kylie is less open about the fact that she is bi but those who are close to her, literally in Chelsea's case, know that she came out as bi when she was sixteen." Sophia added before frowning. "And who is the game mostly targeted at?"

"Teenagers but there are kids who look up to these duelists." Rachel responded with a nod before it hit her. "And if these kids find out that two women, they look up to are cheating on their significant others with each other?"

"It would be a PR nightmare for them." Sophia nodded before her frown deepened. "Remember the revenge porn scandal that Amanda Croteau and Adrienne Beaumont got caught up in?"

"The one were their boyfriends got caught cheating on them and in revenge they leaked pictures and video of Amanda and Adrienne having sex with each other to several websites." Rachel nodded with a look of disgust on her face. "I know the boyfriends got blacklisted but I'm still unclear on why that was bad for Amanda and Adrienne, aside from the obvious breach of privacy and trust off course."

"It ties into what we were just talking about." Sophia responded as she shook her head. "Amanda's status as a bi-sexual woman had been something of an open secret in Canada's National Scene for a few years by that point, Adrienne less so as she was dating a woman before she hooked up with Jacques." Sophia added as she took a deep breath. "The reason the scandal nearly destroyed their careers was because people initially assumed that they were cheating on their boyfriends with each other, it took Adrienne and Amanda going on TV together and admitting that they had been friends with benefits for a few years by that point to squash that rumor."

"Wasn't Adrienne still the French National Champion at the point?" Rachel asked and Sophia nodded. "I think I read somewhere that people blame Adrienne losing the title on that scandal."

"Most of that blame came from her fans who refused to accept the truth, the other French National Duelists had learned the weaknesses of her deck." Sophia responded as she shook her head. "It was thanks to that interview that Amanda and Adrienne came out of that scandal with their reputations intact for the most part, however Chelsea and Kylie are still regional level duelists and I don't think their careers would survive a similar scandal."

"Do you want to chat with them after the session?" Rachel asked and Sophia shook her head.

"This isn't something that directly affects the tournament, just their personal lives." Sophia responded as she took a deep breath. "I say let them talk it out with their spouses in their own time, the session's almost over anyway." Sophia added before glancing up at the screen. "Who'd have thought that the idea of celebrating the 40th anniversary of Duelist Kingdom would lead to me potentially playing homewrecker for four different couples? At this rate I'm half tempted to start my own version of the Jerry Springer Show!" Sophia thought before shaking her head. "My dad may have done some questionable things during the original tournament but at least he never messed with people's personal lives!"

*back with Chloe's group*

As that was going on Chloe's party had stopped outside a castle for the night, however before they could even leave their wagon, they could sense that something was wrong in the air.

"Don't tell me this is a repeat of the last castle we visited." Chloe commented as she pushed her way to the front of the group, they were in the castle courtyard but there were bodies everywhere and the dead that they could see looked recently deceased. "Maybe Ravencraw isn't far away?"

"I don't think we could take Ravencraw at our current level." Amanda responded as she walked up to Chloe. "However, Ravencraw has a younger brother who is arguably just as nasty but more on our level, he goes by the name Ravenscar."

"Oh joy, as if one guy with Raven in his name wasn't bad enough." Chloe commented not noticing that the dead were glowing with a sickly green energy. "What do we know about him?"

"He's a Necromancer with dreams of becoming a lich." Amanda responded before her eyes widened as she saw the dead rising in front of them. "And I think that confirms it." Amanda added and Chloe looked up seeing several dozen zombies blocking their path to the castle.

"If we can get to this Ravenscar guy, we can get to his brother." Jason nodded as he and the others got ready for battle. "Let's go!" Jason added and the others nodded before charging into battle.

*an hour later and back with Chelsea*

Her sex with Kylie had ended about twenty minutes ago and right now Chelsea was being spooned by Kylie as the two women lay naked asleep in Chelsea's tent, however Chelsea started waking up sooner than expected and let out a yawn.

"I had a weird dream, that I was having sex with Kylie." Chelsea thought with a yawn before instinctively reaching for her alarm clock. "Right, right, I'm still in the virtual world, god, what time is…..." Chelsea's thoughts trailed off as she realized that Kylie was spooning her and she looked down at her naked body and saw her clothes strewn about the tent, once she saw Kylie's clothes she came to her senses. "FUCK!" She yelled out waking up her partner.

"That's a first." Kylie commented as she kissed Chelsea on the neck and Chelsea pulled away from her. "Never been woken up after sex by my partner yelling fuck," Kylie added whilst remaining on her side and resting her head on her right hand whilst drumming the fingers on her left hand against her thigh, Chelsea could clearly see her ex's exposed breasts from that position as Kylie was making no attempt to cover up but she had to stop herself from staring at her ex's breasts before she got back on track.

"Don't take it as an indication that I want to go for round two." Chelsea said bluntly as backed away from Kylie who gave her ex a confused look. "I just fucked up big time!"

"Huh?" Kylie asked before it hit her. "Oh, you're not in an open relationship with Beth?"

"You're kidding, right? Me being in a lesbian relationship with her when I was still a Christian was taboo enough." Chelsea responded as she got into a fetal position. "But an open relationship was too much for her even though I suggested it jokingly back when we were Osiris Red Students." Chelsea added before running a hand down her face. "And now I've gone and cheated on her with my ex! How the hell am I supposed to explain this?!"

"You could just pretend it never happened." Kylie suggested and Chelsea shook her head. "Or say it was our characters that slept together."

"Yeah right, literally the only differences between the real me and my character is the fact that my character has wings and no piercings." Chelsea responded before letting out a deep breath. "And before you ask, I have no intention of leaving Beth for you Kylie, far as I'm concerned this was a onetime thing."

"I wasn't going to ask but that's fine, I mean you said as much before we started kissing." Kylie nodded in understanding before letting out a deep breath. "You want my advice? As soon as the session ends, call Beth and just be brutally honest about what happened between us, maybe don't go into graphic detail but some honesty might go a long way."

"Did you forget who you're talking too? I can count the number of times I haven't been brutally honest with anyone on one hand." Chelsea added as she held up two fingers to illustrate her point. "But I think I will, better she find out from me than anyone else and for what it's worth, you are just as good in bed as I remember you from when we were dating."

"Likewise." Kylie responded with a coy grin before crawling over to her ex. "Sure you don't want to go another round?"

"I'm sure." Chelsea nodded and Kylie frowned before she started getting dressed. "You off back to your tent?"

"I could stay in here all night spooning you, but things have gotten way to awkward." Kylie responded as she shook her head. "Don't get me wrong, I loved the trip down memory lane with you Chels, but I can see where this is going, even so, you know where to find me if you change your mind." Kylie added once she got dressed and left the tent.

"That's a big if." Chelsea thought with a sigh before she started getting dressed herself. "On one hand, Kylie's beautiful and just as great in bed as I remember, on the other hand, she might be in an open relationship with her boyfriend, but I can't shake the feeling that I just played homewrecker to both of our relationships." Chelsea thought as she finished getting dressed and got ready to go back to sleep. "How the fuck do I explain this to Beth?!"

*back at the castle*

By now the party had fought through the undead littering the castle courtyard and found themselves inside the castle itself, once they were sure that they were alone the party turned to each other.

"Okay, so assuming this Ravenscar guy is in the castle." Fran commented as she sheathed her sword after cutting down the last zombie. "Who's getting the duel this time around? Chloe got the first duel a while back, Amanda and Ricardo dueled in the last castle." Fran added before glancing between herself and Jason. "Far as I see it, it's between me and Jason."

"Well, if he isn't alone then a tag team duel would solve both of our problems." Jason suggested and Fran nodded apparently liking the idea. "But that's a big if and if his partner's Lord Ravencraw…"

"There would be nothing stopping Ravencraw from cutting down the party and having his way with Chloe." Amanda interrupted him and the others turned to her whilst Chloe shuddered. "Sorry Chloe but I'm being realistic here, Lord Ravencraw is the big bad of Chloe's story so I think it's safe to assume that we're not meant to deal with that bastard until we're at a much higher level." Amanda added and the others nodded in agreement.

"It's not that I don't agree with you Amanda." Chloe commented as she folded her arms. "But on the other hand, the memories of the atrocities that Lord Ravencraw inflicted on that other castle are still fresh in my mind, or do I need to remind you of what he did to the twin princesses?"

"Believe me, that was enough to put me off having sex with Adrienne last night, I know what you mean." Amanda nodded in agreement before turning to the hallways that they had yet to explore. "I say we stick together this time, if Ravencraw is here we stand a better chance together than separated."

"United we stand, divided we fall, I can get behind that logic." Ricardo nodded in agreement before they started exploring the castle.

*a bit later*

The party continued to explore the castle but as far as they could see it was as deserted as the last one, eventually they stumbled upon a library that was as big as a house.

"I swear, you could stock this place full of fantasy novels and I'd never leave." Chloe admitted as she looked around the massive library. "I think it's safe to say that whoever lived here is as big a book nerd as I am."

"Maybe, but for all we know this might have been where the king kept his records." Amanda responded with a nod as she looked around. "Okay, where to start?"

"There's at least three stories to this place, I think we'd cover more ground if we split up." Ricardo responded and almost immediately Amanda went over to Chloe. "It's times like these that make me wish we had a sixth member of our party, maybe then you two would go five minutes before trying to have sex."

"Your assuming that the sixth member wouldn't just ask if he/she cold join in, or at the very least watch." Amanda responded as she rolled her eyes and Chloe blushed like a madwoman. "What? You've never been in a threesome Chloe?"

"No, Lance is the only sexual partner I've ever had!" Chloe responded with an annoyed huff. "Besides that, even if we did offer that to him, he'd tire himself out from doing a victory lap around the island."

"True enough." Amanda admitted with a chuckle. "Then again, I think Adrienne would insist on joining in if this happened in the real world, and even then, I think we'd be more interested in each other."

"Make that two victory laps." Chloe responded as she shook her head "Besides that, the other castle was too old and dusty for us to get in the mood for sex, this place looks like it's more of the same."

"Good point." Amanda nodded as she looked around before turning to the shorter woman. "But if we do find the one spotless place in the castle, well I bet you could minor illusion up a "Do Not Disturb" sign and hang it over the door."

"And on that note, we're off." Jason said hurriedly before pushing Ricardo and Fran towards the staircase to the second floor. "If we find anything, we'll call down to you."

"And we'll call up to you if we find anything." Chloe responded with a barely suppressed grin as she watched Ricardo and Fran protest against Jason's idea, or rather their lack of input in it. "You weren't serious about that orgy idea, weren't you?" Chloe asked Amanda once the others were out of earshot and Amanda shook her head.

"I was serious about Adrienne insisting on her conclusion." Amanda clarified as she turned to the shorter woman. "I wasn't serious about you and Lance being involved, though knowing Lance he'd be all over that idea."

"I don't doubt that for a second and I'm his girlfriend." Chloe admitted as she shook her head. "Let's just get searching before we spend the rest of the session discussing our sex lives."

"Well, if you wanted details about me and Adrienne's sex life, you'd need more than one night anyway." Amanda chuckled and Chloe ignored the taller woman as she searched through the books.

*sometime later*

"Did you find anything?" Ricardo asked Jason as the trio looked around the third floor, after finding not much of interest on the second floor the trio had moved up to the third floor which seemed to have the king's personal records from what they could see. "All I'm seeing is correspondence with the other lords of the realm."

"Anything that mentions Ravencraw or Ravenscar?" Jason asked and Ricardo shook his head whilst Jason searched through the books. "The guide said to come here, I don't think we would've been led here if there was nothing related to Chloe's quest."

"I know what you mean man, fortunately there's still a shitton more books to go and…..." Ricardo trailed off when the two men heard Fran scream. "Fran?!"

"She was over there, let's more." Jason responded before drooping the book and the men raced over to the source of the scream.

And face-faulted once they realized that Fran was screaming with laughter as she read one of the books. "Fucking hell, this is the funniest shit I've read all year." Fran commented in between fits of laughter before seeing the annoyed looks she was getting from her male companions. "What?"

"We heard you scream, we thought you were in danger." Jason commented with an annoyed huff. "And considering that we still haven't found the necromancer who animated the dead outside, this is hardly the time to scare us like that!"

"That's assuming that the Necromancer didn't escape whilst we were battling the dead." Ricardo responded before glancing at the book Fran was reading. "What are you reading anyway?"

"Well, you guys were looking at the king's stuff, right?" Fran asked and the two men nodded. "This seems to be the princesses' stuff, and I just found her little black book."

"You mean to tell me that the princess of this castle slept with enough men that she had to write a whole book to keep track of it?" Jason added and Fran shook her head. "There's more than one book?"

"Yeah, and like Amanda gender didn't seem to be an issue when it came to her partners." Fran responded before motioning to another book on a nearby table. "And she slept around so much that she had to create two little black books, one for her male partners, which I'm reading, and one for her female partners which is on the table." Fran added as she motioned to the book with her head. "But I wouldn't read either of them without expecting it to be some naïve, shy princess."

"She went into detail?" Ricardo asked with a deadpan expression on his face. "I'm almost afraid to ask but how much detail?"

"Enough detail to make the chick who wrote 50 Shades of Grey blush." Fran responded with a grin before going back a few pages. "Listen to this exert: "today whilst father was out hunting, I took two of the stable boys around the back of the stables for some "fun", their cocks felt so big in my….", well you get the idea, don't even get me started on the entry where she had a gangbang with the royal guard."

"That's enough detail for me." Jason interrupted her as he snapped the book close in her hands. "Anything that mentions Ravencraw or Ravenscar?"

"Nothing in the diary about female partners for obvious reasons." Fran responded as she shook her head before opening the book, she was reading up again. "Before you guys came over, I had just finished the gangbang entry, but the last few entries mention Ravencraw and Ravenscar."

"If it's anything like the last castle, we're not going to like the contents." Ricardo responded with a frown on his face. "We know Ravencraw has a thing for petite women with ling brown hair thanks to the last castle and the fact that that fits Chloe's description to a t, my question is was there any mention of stuff like that in the diary?"

"Mostly obscene references, like "he grabbed my long dark brown hair as he was doing me from behind" and "I worry what that huge cock will do to my petite body."." Fran responded before lowering her head. "And now I'm glad Phil isn't around to hear me say this!"

"Except you're a redhead of above average height." Ricardo responded and Fran shook her head.

"Hey, I gave him crap about being inches away from the naked breasts of the blonde Gemini Elf during the last session, if he knew what I was saying out loud then he'd never let me hear the end of it." Fran defended herself before the Irish woman noticed the looks, she was getting from her companions. "Long story, but back to Ravencraw, apparently she was engaged to Ravenscar but was practically cheating on him with everyone who even breathed in her direction."

"I have two questions." Ricardo said as he ran a hand down his face. "Did the princess think she was living in a porno or something? And does this setting have its own version of the Darwin Awards?"

"I'm more surprised I didn't find any entries about her trying to get laid whilst pregnant now that you mention it." Fran admitted as a massive sweat-drop rolled down her head. "And I don't know but it seems Ravencraw found out because the last entry mentioned that he'd be arriving here in two days."

"Knowing what he had to the twins at the other castle because they tried to pull a switcharoo, I'm perfectly content with not finding out what Ravencraw did to her." Jason responded as a sweat-drop rolled down his head. "Especially if he brought Ravenscar with him."

"Let's keep searching before you put me off my dinner." Fran quickly suggested before tossing the diary aside once the two men nodded in agreement.

*back on the first floor*

Amanda and Chloe had heard Fran screaming from the top floor, but they put it out of their minds once they saw that Ricardo and Jason were on it, without knowing much else beyond that the two women resumed their search.

"Not much over here." Chloe commented as she looked through the books. "I'm beginning to think that the guys on the top floor are having all the fun."

"Based on what? One scream?" Amanda asked with a raised eyebrow as the tall redhead turned to the petite brunette woman. "I will admit, things are pretty boring down here and given how dusty this place is I doubt even Adrienne would be in the mood for sex,"

"How you guys can keep that up for so long I don't know." Chloe responded as she shook her head. "Does Adrienne start her day with a mixture of red bull, coffee and a random aphrodisiac or something?"

"Never tried to combo before and it doesn't sound healthy so I think I'll pass, and I think Adrienne would as well." Amanda responded with a sight laugh. "Seriously though, when it comes to sex Adrienne is like "if it happens, if it happens and I will go for seconds, thirds and fourths", pretty much the only reason she didn't get pregnant whilst dating Jacques was because she always insisted on a condom or birth control pills if she was with a male partner."

"And I bet that would've changed if they ever tried for a baby, off course it never got that far for obvious reasons." Chloe responded as she read a book and discarded it when it provided nothing useful, Amanda nodded though her body language made it clear that it was still a sensitive topic. "Sorry, I know that's still a sensitive issue."

"Don't worry about it, I was the one who brought up Jacques." Amanda responded with a sigh as she shook her head. "It wasn't just the fact that they were cheating on us or the fact that they pulled that revenge porn stunt on us that hurt the most, it was the fact that that scandal almost derailed me and Adrienne's careers."

"I know Lance isn't the kind of guy who'd pull that shit." Chloe nodded in agreement as she checked another book. "But if he did, I think my stepdad would pull a gun on him the next time he showed up at the shop."

"I used to think the same about Casey but that just shows that you never really know someone." Amanda responded and Chloe gave her an annoyed look. "I'm not saying that Lance is likely to do that, especially since he has a younger sister, but just be careful with what you send him."

"Do I look like the type pf woman who'd send those kind of images to my boyfriend?" Chloe asked before pausing and looking over her outfit. "Says the woman whose wardrobe consists of about 50% crop tops, you know what? Forget I said that."

"Hey, compared to some female pro-leaguers I know, you're practically a nun." Amanda joked getting a laugh out of Chloe before they heard Jason whistling from the top floor.

"If you lovebirds are done making out down there, we found something up here, third floor." Jason called out to them and the two women nodded.

"We'll be up in a sec." Chloe called back before she put down the book she was looking at. "Look at me, the book nerd throwing away books like they are nothing." Chloe sighed as she followed the taller woman to the staircase. "My book club would have a collective heart attack if they could see me now!"

"If it helps, those books are technically bits of data and not real books." Amanda assured her as the two women approached the staircase.

"Race you to the top?" Chloe suggested and Amanda turned to her. "I did say that we'd be up there in a sec."

"Are you sure? Before I joined North Academy, I was the captain of my school's track team, been a few years since I've raced anyone, but I still stick to my old training regimen." Amanda added and Chloe hesitated before nodding. "I will point out that even Stevie Wonder could see who's going to win this race." Amanda responded as she looked Chloe over. "But what the hell? I was getting bored anyway." Amanda shrugged her shoulders before the two women raced up the stairs.

*ten seconds later*

The two women raced to the top pf the stairs as quickly as they could which wasn't a problem for the taller, clearly more athletic and leggier Amanda, shorter, not athletic at all and not very leggy Chloe on the other hand?

"Next time I suggest racing up three flights of stairs against someone who competed in her school's track team before taking up dueling, feel free to punch me." Chloe said in between deep breaths as she doubled over, just as Amanda had predicted, she was the clear winner as Chloe had tired herself out by the second floor even though Amanda was in armor and Chloe wasn't. "I'm not exactly overweight but I'm not exactly athletic either."

"I was about to say, if your overweight then I'd hate to see your definition of morbidly obese." Amanda teased her and Chloe gave her a mock death glare one she caught her breath. "So, what was so important that it led to me racing my in game girlfriend?" Amanda asked as she turned to the others and Fran motioned for the two women to follow her.

"First things first, Ravencraw was here." Fran explained as she led the other party members away. "Ravenscar was engaged to marry this castle's princess, but she slept with everyone in the castle who so much as looked at her the right way and the Raven clan found out."

"Please tell me you didn't find her remains?" Amanda asked with a shudder and Chloe shuddered as well as it dawned on the two women. "We saw what that bastard did to the twins in the other castle after they tried to deceive him, cheating on his brother with everyone in the castle on the other hand?"

"The good news is we don't have to worry about burying her this time, I found a ledger left by Ravencraw, he admitted to torturing her, raping her and burying her alive underneath the castle." Fran explained before frowning. "It feels weird saying this but that sounds almost merciful compared to the fate of the twins, except for one thing."

"What? Is Ravenscar down there constantly reviving her so he can punish her some more?" Chloe asked and Fran nodded much to Chloe's horror. "Do we know where she's buried? Because at this point, defeating Ravenscar would be a mercy kill for her."

"Fortunately, yes, we found a secret passage and well, I'll let the ambience fill you in." Fran responded as she stopped in front of the passage, it wasn't immediately obvious but the mad cackling and horrified screams coming from within quickly alerted Chloe and Amanda. "We already talked this over, if we face the princess and Ravenscar in a tag team duel it'll be me and Jason representing us."

"And if he faces us alone, I'll take him on." Jason nodded as he approached the passageway. "Shall we?"

"Like we have a choice?" Ricardo asked before they went down into the passageway.

*an hour later*

The party made their way down the passageway but as it was dark the only clue, they had to the fact that they were nearing their destination was that the noises were getting louder.

"If I had known things would be this disturbing, I think I would've declined the invite and just spend the fortnight with the dogs instead." Chloe thought with a shudder as they made their way down the passageway. "But I guess the alure of dueling in the place where Yugi Moto earned his title of King of Games was too tempting! Sooner that we're done here the better!" Chloe thought before the party came to a stop. "Don't tell me, he left more zombies to guard the entranceway to his little torture chamber?"

"That would've been interesting, but he didn't have the courtesy to do that." Amanda deadpanned before Chloe realized that they were at the entrance to a chamber.

And in front of the party they saw a naked petite woman with long dark brown hair strapped to a table expire as a heavily scared dark haired man prepared to cast a spell as he loomed over her dead body. "Oh no you don't." Ravenscar said as his hand glowed with a sickly green energy. "One death for each time you were unfaithful to me!"

"I don't think so Ravenscar." Jason called out as the party poured into the room and Ravenscar's attention was broken long enough for the spell to fail. "Do you know how long that would take for one thing!?"

"Off course I do, I've been at this for days!" Ravenscar growled as a jet black duel disk appeared on his arm. "And since you interrupted the ritual, she is dead for good and you must pay!"

"You say that like it's a bad thing, you son of a bitch!" Chloe growled as her eyes narrowed before glancing between the dead princess and Ravenscar. "And for that matter, what exactly did she see in you? She was beautiful and you're not!"

"Do you really think beauty matters in marriage? The king married her off to me to secure the alliance, when her treachery was discovered, steps had to be taken to ensure that no one else would be so foolish as to try that again." Ravenscar responded as his eyes narrowed. "And don't think he's forgotten about you Chloe! Her suffering will be nothing compared to what my brother will do to you." Ravenscar added and Chloe's frown deepened.

"Great, you cut my hair for nothing!" Chloe commented as she gave Amanda an annoyed look and Amanda sighed.

"I had to try something." Amanda defended herself as she turned to the shorter woman. "I mean, how many Tiefling Princesses does that bastard have his eye on anyway?"

"She's the only one." Ravenscar chimed in and both women face-faulted as they realized that their efforts were for naught. "Now, who will be my opponent?!"

"Me!" Jason said as he stepped forward and both men activated their duel disks. "You will pay for the suffering you put her through!"

"And you will pay for interrupting her punishment!" Ravenscar responded before the deck master selection screen appeared in front of them. "My deck master is Archfiend Soldier!" Ravenscar announced as the tall purple demon appeared next to him (4/1900/1500).

"Well, there goes any ambiguity as it relates to what deck he's running." Jason thought as he made his choice. "My deck master is Jinzo#7!" Jason announced as the small robot appeared next to him (2/500/400). "He's small but he packs a hell of a punch."

"We'll see about that! I'll go first!" Ravenscar announced as he drew his card.

"Amanda, once we're out of here, I'm letting my hair grow back out." Chloe whispered to the taller woman who quickly nodded in agreement. "Because wearing it shorter clearly isn't working."

"Agreed, you look better with longer hair anyway." Amanda nodded in agreement before they looked up in time to see Ravenscar make his move.

"I activate Terra-Forming! Using this Spell Card, I can search my deck for one Field Spell Card and add it to my hand." Ravenscar announced before searching through his deck for the card, once he found the card, he was looking for he added it to his hand and let his deck auto shuffle. "And now I activate it! Welcome to Archfiend Palabrynth!" Ravenscar announced as he played the card and the scenery changed to a large, maze like castle though the princess's remains were still visible.

"And now I'm glad that Sophia decided to omit the more unpleasant stages of death." Jason thought with a frown as he glanced over at the princesses' dead body. "I've never dueled next to a decaying dead body before and I'm in no hurry to experience the sights and smells of the decomposition process!"

"As long as I control this Field Spell all Fiend Type Monsters I control gain five hundred attack points, I can also target one Archfiend Monster I control, banish another one and special summon a third Archfiend Monster from my hand, deck or graveyard with the same level as the targeted monster." Ravenscar explained before picking up a card in his hand. "But we'll get to the second effect later, for now I summon Archfiend Cavalry in attack mode!" Ravenscar announced as he played the card and the skeletal knight atop the demonic horse appeared on the field (4/1900/0) and his attack increased to 2400 thanks to Ravenscar's Field Spell.

"I know what that monster does and that was a pretty big misplay on your part." Jason commented as he folded his arms. "When Archfiend Cavalry is destroyed by a card effect, you can Special Summon another Archfiend monster from your graveyard, you would've been better off holding onto that monster until later in the duel."

"Do you always give your opponents advice?" Fran asked with a deadpan expression on her face and Jason laughed nervously as a sweat-drop rolled down his head.

"Under normal circumstances, you would be right." Ravenscar responded before motioning to Archfiend General. "But this is where my Deck Master's ability comes in, when I normal or special summon a monster with Archfiend in its name, I can choose to send another Archfiend monster from my deck to the graveyard or Special Summon one from the graveyard! As this is just the first turn, I don't need to explain what my choice is."

"So, it's the bastard child of Foolish Burial and Monster Reborn on steroids." Jason thought as a massive sweat-drop rolled down his head. "Given the size of the virtual world, it shouldn't surprise me that Sophia's playtesting of Deck Master Abilities wasn't as thorough as she would've liked." Jason thought as Ravenscar sent the card to the graveyard.

"I end my turn by setting two cards facedown." Ravenscar announced and Jason drew his card.

"You like having cards in your graveyard? Well so do I, I activate Hand Destruction! Now we both draw two cards in exchange for sending two cards from our hands to the graveyard." Jason explained before both men discarded two cards and drew twice. "Now I summon Genex Recycled in attack mode!" Jason announced as he played the card and the small black machine made of recycled materials appeared on the field (1/200/400) and Ravenscar nearly fell over laughing when he saw the monster.

"I summon a level four monster with 2400 attack points and that's the best you can do?!" Ravenscar scoffed as he regained his composure. "If you wanted to die so badly, you should've said!"

"If you had told me when I woke up this morning that I'd be agreeing with a psychopath who saw no problem with torturing a woman to death and reviving her over and over just because she slept around, I would've given you a funny look." Fran commented as she shook her head with a face-palm. "That said, Genex? Really?! That's not exactly a strong archetype!"

"Yeah, he's been running that deck since he started playing the game." Chloe responded as she let out a sigh. "I should know because I was still an Osiris Red Student when he joined Duel Academy and I got to see him duel, and that Genex deck saw him through to Obelisk Blue by the time of his graduation."

"After some heavy modifying." Jason chimed in as he glanced over at the two women. "Taking out cards that didn't work out the way I thought they would, having to adjust it to keep it in line with the latest ban-lists, you guys should know all about this being pro-leaguers with years of experience on me!"

"True but I can name several stronger archetypes than Genex just off the top of my head." Ricardo chimed in with a frown on his face. "But hey, feel free to prove me wrong."

"I'll just point out that the person who's story we're following runs a deck that's half warriors and half spellcasters and came in second in the Domino City Regionals last year and move on." Jason deadpanned and Ricardo and Fran went to rebuke his comment but couldn't find the words, a playful glare from Chloe didn't help matters either. "Also, Fran didn't Chloe eliminate you from the New York Battle City when she was a rookie?"

"That wasn't one of my better duels." Fran admitted as a sweat-drop rolled down her head. "My match against her at last year's Battle City was a lot better.,"

"I'm still waiting for it to come out on DVD, so I'll take your word for that." Jason responded with a nod before turning to Ravenscar. "Off course, it doesn't help that the New York Battle City Tournament has never seen a DVD release because of how ingrained the Orichalcos was in that tournament, pretty sure most people would rather pretend that it never happened." Jason thought before pointing to Genex Recycled. "I activate the effect of Genex Recycled, once per turn I can target one Genex Monster in my graveyard and Genex Recycled's name is treated as that monster's name for the rest of the turn."

"About time." Ravenscar responded impatiently as he tapped his foot. "But how is that supposed to help against my Archfiends?"

"On his own? Not by much." Jason nodded before picking up a card. "Which is why I'm not done yet! Since I control another Genex Monster I can Special Summon Omni Genex from my hand!" Jason announced as he played the card and the large robot appeared on the field ready for battle (5/1000/1000). "This guy's an Earth Type Monster but his attribute is also counted as fire, water and wind."

"So, you summoned a slightly stronger machine?" Ravenscar scoffed as he folded his arms. "What good will that do you?"

"Someone's impatient today so I'll cut to the chase, Genex Recycled is a Tuner Monster so I tune him and Omni Genex together!" Jason announced as the two monsters leapt into the air for the Synchro Summon. Geo Genex in defense mode!" Jason announced as he played the card and the massive drill like machine appeared on the field (6/1800/2800). "He can't beat your Cavalry, but 2800 defense points will be more than enough to hold them off for now."

"We'll see about that!" Ravenscar sneered as he folded his arms. "End your turn already!"

"I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Jason announced as he set the cards and Ravenscar drew his card.

"I set a monster in defense mode." Ravenscar announced as he set the monster and the facedown card appeared on the field. "And before you ask, no, my deck master's ability doesn't apply to set cards."

"I guess she did do some playtesting before the tournament." Jason thought as he glanced at the facedown monster. "Who's have thought?"

"I end my turn at that." Ravenscar announced and Jason drew his card.

"I switch Geo Genex to attack mode!" Jason announced as the machine got ready for battle. "Now I summon Genex Searcher!" Jason announced as he played the card and the large grey robot appeared on the field (4/1600/400). "I activate Geo Genex's effect, since I control a level four or lower Genex Monster I can switch the attack and defense of Geo Genex around until the end phase!" Jason explained as Geo Genex's attack increased to 2800 and his defense dropped to 1800. "And I attack Archfiend Cavalry!" Jason announced as the drill charged towards Ravenscar's monster….

"I don't think so! I activate my trap card Archfiend's Roar!" Ravenscar responded as his trap card flipped up. "I simply pay 2800 life-points and your monster's attack drops to zero!" Ravenscar added as his life-points dropped to 5200 and sure enough Geo Genex's attack dropped to zero. "Archfiend Cavalry, counterattack!" Ravenscar commanded and the demonic horseman charged towards the drill before destroying it and bringing Jason's life-points down to 5600. "If you want to keep sending your monsters to their doom, feel. Free."

"Geo Genex is gone but not forgotten." Jason responded as he motioned to Jinzo#7. "By destroying a level five or higher Genex Synchro Monster you activated Jinzo#7's deck master ability, with it I can take the tuner monster used to summon him alongside one other monster in my graveyard and shuffle both back into my deck." Jason added as he shuffled both monsters back into his deck. "Next I activate my Continuous Trap Card Attribute Synchron, it gets effects based on the attribute of a Synchro Summoned Monster,"

"Then why didn't you activate it before summoning Geo Genex?" Ravenscar asked with a raised eyebrow and Jason frowned.

"Because that effect allows me to destroy monsters which is exactly what you want me to do with Archfiend Cavalry on the field." Jason responded before pointing to Ravenscar's facedown monster. "And speaking of monsters, I have one that can attack! Genex Searcher, attack his defense monster!" Jason commanded and Genex Searcher fired a laser beam at the monster, revealed to be a pale toddler in a long, elaborate robe carrying a magic staff (3/0/2000) who survived the blast. "What the?!" Jason asked with a bewildered look on his face as his life-points dropped to 5200.

"Meet the Terrifying Toddler of Torment!" Ravenscar announced proudly causing the other duelists to face-fault when they heard the name. "When she is flip summoned, I can send one Fiend Monster from my deck to the graveyard."

"There was once a time when I thought "Super Nimble Mega Hamster" was the worst duel monster name I had ever heard." Chloe deadpanned as she and the others got back to their feet. "Not anymore! That toddler has beaten the hamster!" Chloe added before face-palming. "Did I seriously just say that sentence out loud during a duel?!"

"I'll file that one under "sentences I never thought I'd hear in my life" Chloe." Jason responded with a good natured grin before turning to Ravenscar. "For what it's worth, our life-point scores are even again, I end my turn." Jason announced and Ravenscar drew his card.

"Your finished! I activate my trap card Call of the Haunted to Special Summon my best monster, come forth Archfiend Emperor, First Lord of Horror from my graveyard!" Ravenscar announced as his facedown card flipped up and a mountain of a man in black, evil looking armor appeared on the field carrying a sword (8/3000/3000) and his attack points increased to 3500 thanks to the field spell. "I activate my emperor's effect! I banish one Archfiend monster from my hand or graveyard to destroy Genex Searcher!" Ravenscar announced and the emperor slammed his sword down atop the machine destroying him. "Do the math boy, my monsters combined attack power is higher than your life-points! Archfiend Emperor, Archfiend Cavalry…" Ravenscar never finished his sentence as a large box dropped down from the sky in front of him. "What the?!"

"I activated my trap card Genex Care Package." Jason responded as he motioned to his activated trap. "When you declare an attack and I have no monsters to defend myself with, this trap card lets me Special Summon a Genex Monster from my deck or graveyard in defense mode and end the Battle Phase immediately so welcome to the field Genex Controller!" Jason explained as the box opened to reveal the small brown machine (3/1400/1200).

"You brought yourself a turn at most." Ravenscar responded with a sneer as his eyes narrowed. "Make your final move!" Ravenscar commanded and Jason drew his card.

"I activate the effect of Omni Genex from my graveyard! As I have four Genex Monsters of different attributes in my graveyard I can remove him from play to shuffle them into my deck and draw two cards." Jason announced before pocketing the card and shuffling the rest back into his deck before drawing two cards. "Well, well, guess whose back?" Jason asked rhetorically before playing the card and Omni Genex returned ro the field.

"You seriously expect me to believe that you just happened to draw into Omni Genex after removing it from play?" Ravenscar asked with a raised eyebrow and Jason shrugged.

"Luck of the draw, that's all I'm saying." Jason responded before motioning to his two monsters. "But since you've got your ace monster out, it's time I brought out mine! I'm giving Omni Genex a tune up with Genex Controller!" Jason announced as the two monsters leapt into the air for the Synchro Summon. "I Synchro Summon Genex Dragon!" Jason announced as he played the card and the massive metallic dragon appeared on the field with a mechanical roar (8/2800/2400). "I'll get to his effect later, but did you forget about Attribute Synchron?"

"No, I didn't." Ravenscar responded as he shook his head. "So, what's the effect this time?"

"Well, since Omni Genex counts as multiple attributes, I get a choice, and right now I feel like destroying your Archfiends!" Jason announced and Ravenscar's eyes widened as the dragon breathed fire on the two monsters destroying them.

"Did you forget about Archfiend Cavalry's effect already? I use his effect to summon my emperor back to the field!" Ravenscar announced as Archfiend Emperor returned to the field. "You just wasted your trap card!"

"Maybe but Genex Dragon has a similar effect to Attribute Synchron." Jason explained and Ravenscar paused as it hit him. "I use the Earth effect, which cuts your emperor's attack points in half!"

"What?!" Ravenscar demanded as the Emperor's attack dropped to 1750. "I'll still survive this attack!"

"No, you won't, I activate De-Synchro to split Genex Dragon back into it's original parts." Jason announced as Genex Dragon disappeared from the field and Omni Genex and Genex Controller returned to the field. "So, who's up for another Synchro Summon? I tune my two monsters together one more time to Synchro Summon Genex Dragon back to the field!" Jason announced as the two monsters performed the Synchro Summon ritual and Genex Dragon returned to the field. "Say goodbye to your monsters!"

"You will pay for this!" Ravenscar growled as as the dragon breathed fire at the emperor and the toddler destroying them. "What I did to that wrench will be child's play compared to the hell that awaits you!"

"Ravenscar, if anyone belongs in hell, it's you!" Jason said as he turned the second card, he had drawn around revealing it to be Limiter Removal. "And when you get there, you can tell them that Jason Hutchins sent you! I activate Limiter Removal to double my dragon's power." Jason announced as he played the card and the dragon doubled in size and power to 5600. "Finish this scumbag off!" Jason commanded and the dragon breathed fire at Ravenscar brining his life-points down to zero.

"We will meet again!" Ravenscar growled before opening a portal and jumping through it before the other duelists could react.

"Was hoping to get a chance to talk to him about his brother." Chloe admitted before two pings went off, one to indicate that they had beaten a boss and the other to indicate that they had leveled up. "At least we got some good news out of this!"

"So, what do we do about her?" Jason asked as he motioned to the princesses' corpse. "He said that he'd been at this for days so who knows what state her bodies in?"

"We'll discuss this later." Amanda said before the world started to break down around them. "Probably over dinner."

"The session has now ended, taking you back to the real world." The computerized voice informed the players before a bright flash enveloped them.

*back in the real world*

Once the post session meeting had ended most duelists had returned to their rooms to relax before dinner, Chelsea included.

"Participate in the Virtual Kingdom Tournament I said, it'll be fun I said." Chelsea thought as she ran both hands through her hair in front of her laptop, she had Skype open and in front of her was Beth's Skype contact. "If I had known that I'd be cheating on Beth with my ex I would've stayed home!"

"You know what you have to do." Wattchimera responded and Chelsea closed her eyes. "I know you turned atheist after that incident in the church, but confessing might be good for your soul."

"Never mind the fact that I was a Christian and not Catholic." Chelsea responded before grabbing her headset and plugging it into her laptop. "Let's get this over with." Chelsea thought before calling Beth.
