"Oh man I wanted a banquet too." Said Enko lying on the bed. "Why don't I get one?"

"The banquet was for Natalia, not for any regular duelist." Said Masaki sipping on some green tea.

"Ugh. Hey tomorrow is the next duel on Block A so maybe they bring back that tasty lobster." Replied Enko. "Any luck finding the necklace?"

"..." Masaki looked at his laptop, focusing on the search and ignoring Enko for the rest for the night. The following morning Enko found Masaki sleeping on the chair, still holding the cup of tea in one hand. Today the duel will take place on the afternoon, so the group decided to go for a walk to the shopping district to get to know eachother better. They still needed someone to take them there so Arata had to drive the group to the street, deciding to stay with them if they needed anything.

"Oh man I haven't been here in years." Said Arata. "I don't think I've ever take you here Enomoto."

"Really?" Said Athena. "This is the hot place in town, for a man as sharply dress as you I thought you'd be here often."

"Sorry but I like to attend my manners discreetly, this place is too filled with people for my liking." Said Arata putting down his cigarette. "Also aside from Tsutsumi, Enomoto hasn't been the guy to have friends."

"You could've stay quiet." Said Enko looking at Arata disappointed. "Anyways, what do you do in here?"

"Anything!" Said Kazuki. "There are arcades, clothing shops, restaurants, card sho-"

"There. Aren't. Card shops." Said Oki. "You guys are the only costumers I get regularly I'm not risking it."

"You say that as if we did for your amazing service and stock." Said Masaki. "Maybe you could learn a thing or two about these shops."

"Say that to my face!" Screamed Oki. "Don't forget who got you half of your rarest cards!"

"Like you didn't do it because of my father's money." Said Masaki smirking.

"Why DO YOU think we keep you around here, asshole." Replied Athena laughing.

"Okay okay no more fighting please." Added Tsutsumi. "Don't make a scene in public please."

"This snotty idiot started!" Screamed Oki.

"Who are you calling snotty?" Said Masaki pissed off.

"You reek like a snotty idiot." Said Enko covering one of his eyes with his hair like Masaki does, doing the same cross armed pose. "Oe why are there so many cameras in here?"

Just as Enko said, the main street was blocked by a wall of paparazzi, all taking photos of the same person, a slim girl with silver hair and round soundglasses posing with what looked like an expensive bag. "And with this designer handbag specially made for me, we are giving away a free trial of my new palette, the "Galician Breeze" by non other than myself, Moonson Mistral. Now if you my awesome fans excuse me, I'm gonna enjoy some drinks with my good friend Obregón, chaoooo." The paparazzis kept flashing their cameras as Moonson entered the main shopping mall, eventually leaving once she wasn't on sight.

"Ugh I can't stand people like that." Said Arata lighting another cigarette. "People so far up their asses like that make me nauseous."

"Wooooaaaaah Moonson! I'm such a huge fan!" Said Kazuki. "She's like the prettiest girl in the world, I've bought all her makeup products."

"I'm not interested in that. You can go seek her if you want to but I'm going to the juice bar." Said Masaki leaving the group.

"Uuuuh the big boy and his juices." Said Oki. "I'm going to the card shops, studying your rivals is the best way to outsmart them."

"Can I go with you?" Said Enko. "I wanna be better at this and you seem like you know your stuff."

"Sure whatever." Said Oki. "You seem to get on Masaki's nerves easily, I like that. Athena, Tsutsumi, got any plans?"

"Not really." Said Athena. "Maybe there's some music shop around here that sells the bass strings I'm looking for, if not I'll go with Kazuki so she doesn't get lost."

"Emmm... Can I go with you guys?" Said Tsutsumi scrathing the back of his head.

"If you kids need anything I'm gonna be on that bar over there, see ya." Said Arata peacing out. "We need to be back at 5 so don't make me look for you all."

Inside the shopping mall a whole world opened to Enko, filled with all sorts of establishments and services. Athena and Kazuki went to the second floor, and Oki took Enko and Tsutsumi to the third one, looking for card shops. The second floor was where most of the restaurants were, filled with people as it was prime time. Kazuki looked everywhere for her idol, until she saw her speaking with Tsutsumi's rival on the tournament, hidden in the corner of the smoothie bar.

"sigh And then we have that stupid tournament thing. I can't catch a rest." Said Moonson.

"That influencer life looking good, haha." Replied Natalia mockingly. "Maybe you won't duel today mi vida, maybe LaGarde has his turn now."

"No se... They invited quite the roaster, only to duel some kids." Moonson sipped on her smoothie, looking around for cameras to always appear good. "Me! Moonson Mistral! Spain's most famous person!"

"Sure girlie." Said Natalia smiling. "They really wanted to make an impression on people then."

Kazuki gasped, eyes wide open. There it was, Moonson, looking directly at her. "Oh my god she has acknowledged me! Athena hold me I might pass out!"

"¿Y esas dos?" Said Natalia. "Parecen querer algo."

"¿Huh?" Moonson finished her smoothie, calling over Kazuki. "Mis fans, hahaha. Heeeey, do you want something?"

Kazuki gasped even more, but her hear wasn't ready for what was about to happen.

"Ooooh you're friends with that fluffly pink boy, come sit down! Tournament buddies!" Said Natalia.

"Oh that's why you were here huh. It's good to know your rivals." Said Moonson. "Just don't get too fixated in me."

"Sure girl." Said Athena. "pretty humble coming from you."

"Athena! Sorry for my friend ahah, you know, busy and tense from all this tournament."

"Yeah must be hard." Said Moonson. "Who knows maybe we will duel today."

Kazuki held back her squeaks, deciding to nod instead of speaking.

"By the way I love your outfit, the cutest thing ever." Said Moonson sipping on another smoothie. "And that makeup, perfect." As she was saying that, she looked at Athena with distaint, apparently she didn't like her style as much.

"Thank you! Thank you! I take a good ammount of care of myself ever since I transitioned, haha." Said Kazuki blushing. "And of course I'm using the best brand in the world."

"Mistralis!" Said both Moonson and Kazuki together, laughing. Athena and Natalia looked at eachother in mutual agreement of not understanding them. the four of them decided to go shopping together, well, Kazuki and Moonson decided it. After a while they ended up going down at the restaurant Arata was eating in, although he was unnoticed.

"Oh my oh my." Said Moonson with her mouth full. "Japanese food is a-ma-zing."

"le falta cuerpo." Said Natalia. "But hey nothing compares to colombian food."

"Hey Kazuki we should get going it's almost 5." Said Athena finishing her food.

"So, how long are you staying on Japan?" Asked Kazuki to Moonson. "I know JUST the right place you should visit."

"Not for long unfortunately." Replied Moonson. "I'm here for that tournament invitation."

"Oi earth to Kazuki, get your ass moving." Continued Athena. When Athena looked around, she notices Natalia had already left, almost leaving a Natalia-shaped cloud of smoke behind her. She knew better. The other two kept talking, making Athena more anxious by the minute. "Kazuki I swear to god."

"OI! You two!" Said Arata accompanied by the rest of the group. "Does 5pm don't mean shit to you?"

"Hey! A bit of respect, I'm talking with my fan." Said Moonson.

"Oh, the famous one." Said Arata getting closer to her. "I don't care what are you doing I have places to be."

"Well it seems that we are going to the same place then." Said Moonson standing up. "And hopefully after my spectacular duel of today you will learn to talk to me like you should."

"Who knows, maybe you can show me that spectacular duel first hand." Said Arata getting even closer. "Because I can't wait to put someone like you in their place."

"Okay okay okay." Said Enko separating the two of them. "Come on Kazuki we can't be late!" Arata gave Moonson one last smirk and left, leaving the whole restaurant looking at her. Nobody had talk to her like that in public, and that's something that won't go unnoticed. On the ride back to the tower Kazuki didn't stop talking about Moonson, saying how she is also the best duelist in the whole tournament. Arata, of course, kept replaying back as he had the victory already. Arata's confidence was almost comical, but Masaki sensed something in it.

/WELCOME EVERYONE WATCHING AT HOME, IT'S ME GARDIUS! TODAY IS A SPECIAL DUEL LET ME TELL YA'. ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS, MOONSON MISTRAL, HAS DEMANDED THAT SHE CHOOSES HER RIVAL, AND OF COURSE HERE AT INDUSTRIAL ILLUSIONS WE WANT TO MAKE OUR GUESTS HAPPY! OUR DUEL OF THE DAY WILL SEE THE BELLA ESPINOSA BATTLE ARATA SLEED, A QUITE INFAMOUS INDIVIDUAL AROUND THE CITY. CAN MOONSON WIN WITH GRACE LIKE ALWAYS OR WILL SHE CRUMBLE AGAINST THE FLAMES OF DARKNESS?/

"Looks like that chick wants more of me." Said Arata laughing, entering the elevator. "Vamos allá." Said Arata in a really broken spanish.

/starting duel/

"My turn!" Said Moonson. The stadium this time was made for her. a spacious fashion runway with lights changing colours slowly. "I'll show you your place! I activate Polymerization, fusion summoning Lunalight Cat Dancer!" The curtain behind Moonson opened, revealing the elegant Lunalight fusion. "Since I've used Lunalight Black Ship as a material, i can add back the other one to my hand! I'm feeling generous so I'll let you go now, but just know this runway is mine."

"Sure sweetie, draw! Come here Kuribandit!" A fluffly monster wearing a yellow bandana and an eyepatch appeared, carrying 5 cards with him. Kuribandit gave 2 to Arata and left with the other 3. "Not feeling too kind huh? Kuribandit let's me draw 5 cards when tributed, then I send all monsters drawn to the graveyard. Now, I use allure of darkness, drawing two cards then banishing one dark monster from my hand."

"You talk a lot, the public is getting bored." Said Moonson mockingly.

"Oh don't worry, I'm just warming up. I activate monster reborn! Let's see if Kuribandit is in a better mood now." Kuribandit appeared again, giving Arata 1 card and keeping the other four to himself. "ugh, fucker. Doesn't matter, I set two cards then activate Parallel twister!" A tornado started forming in the field. "I destroy one of my spells set to destroy a card on the field, and you know what, I don't like that monster you got there, mind if I pop it?" The tornado shattered Cat Dancer, making Moonson show a bit of anger through her fabricated look. "I'm feeling generous so I'll let you continue." Said Arata trying to anger Mistral.

"¡Mi turno!" Said Mistral drawing. "An empty field won't get you anywhere against someone like me, sweetie." Just as she said that a bright light eclipsed the moonlight, appearing infront of Arata.

"The Supremacy Sun appears on the field the turn right after it's said to the graveyard, Kuribandit isn't that big of an asshole, heh."

"3000 ATK just like that?" Said Enko. "Oh man Arata is awesome."

"Come on Moonson, you got this." Said Kazuki.

"E-either way, I activate my trusty pendulums! Lunalight wolf, Lunalight Tiger!" both fierceful Lunalights appeared on each side of Moonson. "Now, I activate Lunalight Wolf's pendulum effect, banishing Lunalights in my graveyard to bring forth a more powerful dancer, Lunalight Panther Dancer! (I'm lacking the ATK to take down that monster, but right now I need to set the entrance for the big girl. This biggot won't be much of a problem.) your turn again, don't make them wait!"

"I can't wait to destroy your silly little facade." Said Arata. "You have no idea how much you boil my blood. Draw! I activate my trap card, Ultimate offering! Come to the show, Tour Guide From The Underworld!" A redhair with a blue uniform appeared on the runway, accompanied by Malice, Lady of Lament. "I pay 500 LP to activate ultimate offering, sacrificing Malice and Tour Guide to bring the king of this match; DIABOLOS, KING OF THE ABYSS!" The fearful dragon appeared from below the ground. Shackles all over his body and a pair of wings big enough to cover The Supremacy Sun's glow. "Now it's time to bring the fuego! Supremacy Sun, Helios' curse!" Arata's monster conjured a spell moving it's hands, setting Panther Dancer ablaze. "Now, DIABOLOS, FIRE OF THE LAIR!" A green and black flame started forming infront of Diabolos, and with a swing of its wings he sent it directly to Moonson, dealing massive damage.

/Player 1 remaining Life Points: 1000/

"(How is this peasant already on such a huge advantge!? Don't overthink it Mistral, the only Life Points that count are the last ones.)Draw!" The card burned like hell, what was it?

"Not so fast honey, Diabolos let's me look at the card you're about to draw. Lunalight fusion? Nah you don't need that right now, let me put it in the bottom of the deck." Said Arata smirking.

"Scary." Said Oki. "Never knew this cards existed."

"Ugh..." Said Moonson. "Doesn't matter, I'm sure my amazing luck will save me from you! I summon Lunalight Tiger, then I banish her and Panther Dancer from my deck to summon Cat Dancer again, this time in DEF position!" The lunalight fusion stood on the field, covering herslef with her silk cloths. "Cat Dancer cannot be destroyed by battle, so don't try brute force in my runway, it's not elegant!"

"Brute force shouldn't be your concern honey, I'm way above that." Arata sounded more serious than usual, he truly had a distaint for people like Moonson. "They say the third time's the charm, let's see if it is true. I use Water of Life to summon back Kuribandit." This time, Kuribandit only took 2 cards with him. "Now, I use reasoning! Choose a level for me would ya?"

"Level 12! The higher the better!" Said Moonson slightly losing her composure.

"Sure." Tour Guide from the underworld was summoned, as she was the first monster that could be normal summoned that appeared. "Again, brute force shouldn't be your concern. I use my three monsters to link summon Borrelcode Dragon!" A convoluted looking robot appeared on the field, zapping with energy. "I may not know what this links bullshit is about, but I can read effects just fine. Borrelcode Dragon nukes the field if it battles one of your monsters." Borrelcode hurled itself at Cat Dancer, exploding the whole runway, leaving Moonson even more distraught. "You know what? It is fun to be on the spotlight!" Said Arata grooving on the spot.

"¡MI TURNO!" Said Moonson angrily. "I CANNOT LET MY FANS DOWN, NOT AGAINST YOU!"

"Come on girl are you still hurt about earlier? Why don't you tell your fans that I'm here to be worse then?" Replied Arata. "And don't forget about my sunshine, always coming back."

Moonson hand was terrible, she truly was out of options. "(outsmarted by this disgusting guy...)Your turn..."

"Oh baby surrendering already? I'm still fresh as new!" Said Arata laughing. "Hey you know what lemme show off a bit, you seem to enjoy it! I banish Borrelcode Dragon from my graveyard and Supremacy Sun from my field to special summon Topologic Bomber Dragon!" The Mobius strip tailed robot appeared on the field from above, landing infront of Moonson, charging energy on its hand, locked on Moonson with its green eye. "MOONSON, IT'S TIME TO TAKE YOUR FINAL BOW!" Arata did as he say and bowed to Moonson, as Bomber Dragon released its attack, ending the duel with Moonson never landing a hit on him. "Next time think twice before fucking with me, spoiled brat."

/NOBODY EXPECTED MOONSON'S STREAK TO BE BROKEN IN THIS TOURNAMENT AND LET ALONE LIKE THIS! WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE AT HOME FOR THE LANGUAGE USED BY OUR CONTESTANT ARATA SLEED, AS BRUTAL AS IN THE DUELS AS HE IS IN THE STREETS. WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN FOR THE INTERVIEWS./

"Appareances don't lie with you, Sleed." Said Masaki. "I cannot say I like her but that was a bit too much don't you think?"

"That was brutal..." Said Athena perplexed. "Where do you even get this cards."

"There's all sort of stuff like that in the pit of hell I crawled out of." The red glow on Arata's eyes died down. "RIch people that feel entitled to everything just get on my nerves."

Arata went out on the streets again, but meanwhile, Moonson hadn't left the stage yet, contemplating her broken ego, the image of her being an unbeatable idol was gone, broken by a man like Arata. This couldn't be left like this, no.

At the banquet, dozens and dozens of cameras and reporters were storming Moonson, asking about what happen. The usual responses came, I had bad luck on the draws, I wasn't feeling it either, I wasn't, I... I... I... Everything to not recognize Arata won her fair and square, mocking her in the process. He didn't even show up to the banquet, as if insulting her more. Mistral felt like Arata was telling her that she wasn't even worthy of being around him, getting on her skin more and more. Eventually one of the Chairman, Grisolle, came to the banquet, looking for Mistral. He was carrying a black envelope, it seemed important.
