Playmaker arrived at the Tower of Hanoi, to see Revolver holding Blue Angel hostage. "I see you've arrived, Playmaker. I've also taken your girlfriend hostage" Said Revolver. "She's not my girlfriend. And I'm going to destroy your Tower, Revolver" Said Playmaker. "I'll sure see you try" Said Revolver, as the blue and white on Blue Angel's outfit slowly turned to red and grey. "What did you do to Blue Angel?" Asked Playmaker. "Remember our first duel? You struggled so nicely, trying to get the cure for Blue Angel's virus. We took that time over here copying her duel data, using some of her brainwaves and vola. Presenting the Ignis slaying A.I., Silver Angel. You'll never even get to duel me. Silver Angel will take care of you" Said Revolver, as Silver Angel's outfit became more like a catsuit. "Hello Playmaker. This will be my first duel against a Ignis. I have studied your deck. I take it you already know my own. It is the same as Blue Angel" Said Silver Angel, before Revolver walked up a set of stairs. "Revolver!" Shouted Playmaker. "He isn't your opponent, Playmaker. I am" Said Silver Angel. "Well he certainly shouldn't be" Said a Voice, causing Silver Angel and Playmaker to look behind Playmaker, to see Hope. "Playmaker. I assume Blue Angel has been cured with a cure in this dimension? Or did she become evil? Because she doesn't look very nice" Said Hope. "I am an copy made from the data of Blue Angel" Said Silver Angel. "So, not who I was looking for. Oh well, I don't suppose you'd take me on in a duel then?" Asked Hope. "I am meant to stand guard here and defend those who would attempt to stop the Tower of Hanoi" Said Silver Angel. "Ah. My secondary goal. Shall we duel?" Asked Hope. "Speed Duel!" Shouted Silver Angel. "Eh. Master Duel" Said Hope, as Silver Angel leaves the stairwell. Hope and Silver Angel stand on opposite sides of the room, as a Master Duel setup appeared between them and Playmaker ran up the stairwell.

Hope uses "The Machin of the Crystal Gems" and "The Diamond's Knights" to Link Summon "Diamond: White Hope" between "Diamond: Red Anger" and "Diamond: Pink Love". Since "Diamond: Red Anger" is co-linked with two link monsters, all monsters co-linked with "Diamond: Red Anger" gain 500 attack points (3000/ Link- 3/ ⬅️⬆️➡️) (3000/ Link- 3/ ↙️⬇️↘️).

"Now if you don't mind love. I've got some mail to deliver" Said Hope as Silver Angel fell apart becoming clusters of data before becoming nothingness.

Probably dueling Playmaker upstairs" Said Hope, as he walked upstairs to see Playmaker and Revolver riding on a Data Storm. How convenient. All destracted as well" Said Hope, as he held a envelope.

2 hours later
Emily takes a letter out of her letterbox, before going inside her house. "Huh. It's from Hope. The game is back on?..." Asked Emily, before she opened it. "To Emily Dual, Kaiba has arranged for a tournament among 50 of the best duelists among the 6 dimensions that play Yu-Gi-Oh and us and himself. It's basically who was left during the last round of the last tournament. Same name as well. The Neo Kaiba Grand Prix. Now including 100% less evil shenanigans and 50% less prizes. The winner will now receive a plaque telling them they are the best. Just sign your name on the bottom line and you'll be teleported to the ground of the tournament. More information on the next page" Read Emily. Emily then went to her bedroom, picking up her duel disk and deck. "Never did get to settle who was the best" Said Emily. "What are you doing, baby?" Asked Teto, wrapping her arms around Emily. "Well, I believe that I've been challenged to a tournament of a children's card game that is mainly played by those over the age of 10" Said Emily. "Yu-Gi-Oh? Weren't you and Hope in a tournament of that a while ago?" Asked Teto. "Yeah but it was never finished. All I have to do is sign my name" Said Emily. "Will it be televised?" Asked Teto. "I don't know... yes, on Channel K" Said Emily, reading the next page. "Oh good. I wouldn't want to miss you in your duels" Said Teto. "Thank you love. Ok, here we go" Said Emily, signing her name.
Meanwhile, at Kaiba Land America
Emily appears. "Woah. That was a rush. At least I'm not hurling" Said Emily. "You're late. Starting ceremony started a minute ago" Said Hope. "Oh good, I always wanted to interrupt a Kaiba speech" Said Emily. "Hah. Nice to see you" Said Hope, walking up some stairs as Emily followed him. "Wait. What are you wearing?" Asked Emily. "Oh, this?" Asked Hope, standing front facing Emily. Hope was wearing a grey and dark purple sleeveless vest with dark purple gauntlets and crimson pants. "Well, yes. Basically" Said Emily. "I met a woman. She was cute as a button and about my hight. The future daughter of my friends, about twenty or so. Lovely woman. Gained some anger issues and the ability to see into the mind of an foe after a while" Said Hope. "Aw, sounds lovely. When can I meet her?" Asked Emily, as she and Hope continued up the stairs. "She's not my girlfriend. And she was erased from existence. I apparently have a way to bring he back. I don't know what it is however" Said Hope. "... So you wear her clothes because?..." Asked Emily. "I kinda needed some. The Fireware developed a glitch and went offline. So I wear my friends clothes because I, kinda needed them. It was really the only thing left of her. The jacket, anyway. I bought the pants and made the gauntlets from the sleeves of the jacket. I feel like I look like a rockstar" Said Hope. "I think you look like a dork" Said Emily. "And you look like somebody who has missed dueling. Three months and the mere possibility of a duel makes you smile ear to ear" Said Hope, as they reached the top of the stairs to see a crowd of duelists and Kaiba on a stage. "Stay here, I've got to tell Kaiba that everyone is accounted for" Said Hope, as he disappeared. Hope then walked onstage and whispered into Kaiba's ear, before walking offstage and appearing next to Emily. "And now, a speech by Kaiba" Said Hope. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Kaiba Land America. I'll try to keep this short. As most of us remember, most of us were invited to a dueling tournament where we dueled it out to earn the right to be the Worlds Famous King of Games, a trophy, and whatever we desired. However, those of us were fooled. It was a trick for two people to absorb our talent and drain our energy. Today, this will be no trick. A reality. Today, us 50 duelists will battle it out to see who the best is! Now, the playing field consists of the following duelists: Yuto, Hope Xiao Rose, Ai, Kalin Kessler, Playmaker, Lightning, Akiza Inizski, Julia Krystel, Emily Dual, Satorius Kumar, Moon Shadow, Don Thousand, Yuya Sakaki, Duke Devlin, Blue Angel, Alexis Rhodes, Windy, Nistro, Weevil Underwood, Yugo, Marik Ishtar, Aura Sentia, Yuma Tsukumo, Kite Tenjo, Yugi, Revolver, Ghost Girl, Bandit Keith, Shay Obsidian, Sora Perse, Gore, Jaden Yuki, Yubel, Bohman, Joey Wheler, Solomon Muto, Dextra, Kagemura, myself, Rio Kastle, Jack Atlas, Soulburner, Earth, Spectre, Dr. Vellian Crowler, Aigami, Kolter, Aster Pheonix, Aporia and Leo Akaba.

The duelist with the so far perfect record, Emily Dual! They shall duel right here, in front of us. And that duel shall start right now" Said Kaiba, as all duelists except Satorius and Emily formed a circle around Emily and Satorius. "You know, we could just flip a coin and call it a day" Said Emily. "I'll flip a coin during our duel" Said Satorius. "And again and again and again" Said Emily. "Start the duel" Said Kaiba.
