It was several years after Chara and the signers saved New Domino City from Z-ONE and Iliaster. And during that time Chara, and everyone lived in Heartland for Chara to pursue his talents ahead along with loving Luna, helping Muffet with Tori, and all else. And soon Chara, and Luna got married, and are now gonna be parents with a son who Chara decides to name Tommy, and over time their bonds with the Kastle Family grew.

But today is a sad day. Let us see why.

"And just today a traffic accident has taken place!" a news reporter said on TV.

"An accident?" Claire asked in shock.

They looked where the reporter shows a family of four had collided with a truck during a police chase, and it shows the image of the Kastle Family saying their being given emergency treatment.

"Rio!" Sora cried in horror.

Frisk grunted before saying, "Come on everyone. We coming to the Hospital, and help them."

They all nodded at that but Sora and Claire both looked scared. They all raced off in the rainy night arriving in as the receptionist turned, "Huh?"

"Excuse me, was a family of four admitted earlier today?" Chazz asked.

"Huh oh uh The Kastle Family? Yes their car collided with a criminal's during a police chase, and their in critical condition." the receptionist answered, "They should be in the ER right now."

"Can we see them?" Claire asked.

"I'll inform the staff of your arrival." the receptionist said taking a phone.

They nodded.

"They'll be ok... right mom?" Sora asked fearfully.

Frisk smiled to him, "They'll be okay Sora."

They arrived where a doctor walked out before seeing them, "Huh? I wasn't expected you two here. What can I do for you?"

"Are the Kastles doing well?" Frisk asked.

The doctor winced before saying, "Well, I-I-I mean, when their brought in they were barely living. Both Gabriel, and Mary along with the criminal who caused the collision were killed in the crash. Their kids Reginald, and Rio are barely hanging on."

Hearing that Claire ran to him. "They'll be ok right? You can save them can't you?"

The doctor looked down saddened before saying, "Listen.. I'm sorry but... You should say your goodbyes to them... Their not gonna make it."

Sora and her started tearing up hearing that. Both of them hugged their kids with Frisk also having tears.

"Dammit." Chazz grunted quietly.

"Can... can we see them?" Sora asked with tears.

The doctor solemnly nodded opening the door allowing them in where Reginald, and Rio have oxygen masks on unconscious on the bed looking seriously injured with their vital signs being low. Sora ran to Rio as Claire ran to Reginald.

"Please... don't die." they whispered together.

Their parents walked in as the doctor told the adults, "I'm so sorry."

Beep... Beep... Beeeeeeeeepppppppp.

Hearing that they all looked to the machines. Their vital signs are gone. Sora and Claire broke down and started crying.

"Nurse?" the doctor asked as she removed the masks from the twins as she patted their heads.

"Why?" Claire choked out. "Why them?"

They watch in sympathy for them crying. That was when Claire feels something holding her hand. Her eyes widened. "Reginald?"

She looked to see his eyes twitching before his vitals blared to life. Sora saw the same thing happening to Rio. The two Kastle Twins opened their eyes slowly.

"What, but... How?" The doctor asked in shock.

"You're ok... Rio." Sora choked out.

"Don't scare me like that Reggie." Claire whispered with tears. "I thought I lost you."

"H-Huh? Claire? W-What happened? " Reginald asked weakly before widening his eyes sitting up, "Mom, Dad, Rio!"

He winced wrapping his arms around himself.

"Reginald?" Rio asked weakly.

Reginald look over as he smiled tearfully as Frisk walked to him saying, "Take it easy, Reginald you, and her been through a lot."

"S-Sora? W-What happened? " Rio asked Sora.

"There... there was a crash." Sora choked out weakly. "You and Reginald almost died Rio."

"A-A crash? W-Where's Mama, and Daddy?" Rio asked him, "Are they okay?"

Frisk hugged her gently. "I'm sorry Rio, they didn't make it."

"No." Rio started tearing up hearing that.

"Then we're alone. " Reginald said looking down.

"No you're not, you still have us." Chazz told them gently.

"And us." Chara said walking in with a pregnant Luna, "Muffet said she, and Tori wants you two to know that your friends are also family."

"Chara's right." Luna agreed.

Both Kastle Twins smiled hearing that before Rio said, "Thank you all so much."

"You're welcome." Frisk smiled hugging her while Chazz embraced Reginald.

Chara placed his hands on both his siblings shoulders saying to them, "If you two need help with them be sure to tell me, Luna, or Muffet."

"We will, thank you big brother." Sora smiled.

Luna walked softly pulling them in a hug.


Years later...

A similar incident happened this time involving Rio.

Reginald older burst in the hospital, "Rio! Where is she!?"

The receptionist looked up. "She's in the emergency room, she's in very bad shape."

Reginald immediately ran off as Claire, Sora and their parents ran in. Frisk asked the receptionist, "Excuse me ma'am. Do you know what happened to Rio?

"I don't know the full story. Some boy brought her in, and she looked like she was involved a bit of a explosion that burned her." the receptionist admitted.

"Which room is she in?" Sora asked quickly.

"ER." the receptionist answered taking out a magazine reading it.

Sora ran to the ER as fast as he could. They ran after him arriving where Reginald was over Rio who was covered in bandages but her hair, and her vital signs are low but nothing like that day. Sora's eyes widened in horror seeing that. "No... not again."

"Reginald, what happened to her?" Claire asked.

Reginald clench his fists, "They... They said she was burned badly... After some boy brought her in."

"Do you know who it was?" Sora asked. "Who did this to her?"

"No. He left after they treated his injuries." Reginald answered turning with a hardened look, "I'll make sure to continue the National Duel Circuit for her."

"We'll be rooting for you." Frisk told him.

He nodded as they head off.


At the Circuit...

"Alright Shark's got a tough duel ahead." Chara admitted with Luna while she holds a young boy who looks like him but has green hair with Muffet, and Tori being older looking for seats, "Gravekeeper's are a tough bunch."

"That's true, but I have a good feeling." Luna smiled. "Right Tommy?"

"Yeah mommy. Uncle Reggie will win!" Tommy cheered in her arms raising his arm.

"Well come on we saved you seats." Frisk mentioned to them from below as they walked down, "Hey Tommy, how's my favorite grandson doing today?"

"Hi grandma." Tommy smiled. "I'm super happy."

"How's Shark doing since what happened?" Muffet in her human form asked them.

"Not good." Claire frowned. "I'm kind of worried."

"Not for long cause the duel's starting." Chara said as they looked to see Reginald, and the opponent who is a yellow haired man with a scar just arrived readying.

The duel was long, and hard but Reginald managed to stop Necrovalley, and is now ready with a monster called Big Jaws in play.

"I place 1 card face-down, and end my turn." the man smirked.

'That's gotta be the card I saw. Mirror Force!' Reginald thought seeing that before moving to draw, "I dr-"

An alarm blared.

"What the?" Chazz questioned.

"Oh sorry folks, but it seems that Reginald Shark Kastle has been disqualified!" the announced declared, "While in the waiting room Shark is caught taking a peek at his opponent's deck! "

It shows a footage of Shark walking to a deck of fallen cards which they recognized as the man's deck.

"Reginald..." Claire whispered in shock seeing that.

"He cheated?" Tommy asked in shock. "Why did he do that?"

"Taking a peek at my cards. Now that's low for you Sharky." the man smirked to Shark who growled, "Maybe this teaches ya a lesson not to resort to dirty tactics."

Reginald glared with tears before running out.

"He wouldn't do that." Claire growled. "His opponent is behind it somehow, I know it."

"Come on let's go find him." Frisk told her.

They walked out before the announcer approached them, "Excuse me. Are you Shark's Guardians?"

"Yes." Chazz nodded.

"Well sorry I have some bad news. Since Shark had cheated in the Nationals he is hereby no longer permitted to duel in this national arena." the announced stated to them.

"He didn't cheat, he was set up." Claire argued. "Reginald doesn't cheat."

"Do you have any proof?" the announcer asked her.

Claire flinched at that. "Well... why would his opponent's deck be out in the open like that if it wasn't a set-up?"

"Left out of not he still looked at Quattro's Deck so rules are rules unless you provide proof that is." the announcer stated.

Claire frowned and clenched her fists.

"Did you seen where he went?" Frisk asked him to change the subject.

"Yeah in that direction over there." the announcer said pointing at where the hospital leads.

The group nodded before heading to the hospital. They arrived in Rio's room where Reginald is holding her hand, "I'm sorry Rio, I couldn't do it."

"Sha... Reggie?"

He turned around seeing them before turning away, "What you all gonna ridicule me, or yell at me or something?"

"Of course not." Frisk answered. "We would nev..."

SLAP!

They all watched in shock as Reginald slowly lifted a hand to his reddening cheek.

"Don't be an idiot." Claire told him with tears. "You know us Reggie, you know we'd never do that so don't ever think like that."

"I..." Reginald turned to Rio.

"It'll be ok Reginald, I promise somehow everything will be ok." Frisk told him softly.

"Until then don't forget we're in this together." Sora said taking Reginald's shoulder.

Reginald stared before nodding. Claire smiled at that.

Since then they stay close to where we are now.


Years later...

Knock Knock at the front door.

"Coming." Sora mentioned walking to the door and opening it.

It was Tori.

"Oh, hey Tori." Claire smiled seeing her.

"Hi cuz. Come on we gotta get to School." Tori smiled.

"Sounds good." Claire smiled.

"Bye mom, bye dad. We'll see you after school." Sora mentioned.

They waved as they head off. Soon they heard a struggle, and robots saying, "Trash Identified."

"Huh, hey isn't that your friend Tori?" Claire asked.

"Yuma!" Tori yelled running seeing a pink, and purple haired boy having on a golden key, and school uniform was being picked up by robots, and cards scattered around.

"My cards are not trash, you dumb Litterbots!" the boy known as Yuma snapped.

After they rolled off Yuma crossed his arms, "Hmup, at least the Junk Robots have manners."

"Are you ok?" Sora asked him.

"Yeah-Huh? " Yuma asked seeing the two, "Sorry do I know you two?"

"Oh sorry, I'm Claire Princeton and this is my twin brother Sora." Claire smiled.

"Nice to meet you." Sora smiled.

"Thanks for helping me-Huh? " Yuma said seeing Tori, "Wassup Tori?"

"Let me guess you slept in again, and Bronk beat you in another race?" Tori asked crossing her arms.

"Kari should've wake me up earlier then I wouldn't be in this mess!" Yuma complained.

"Well come on, we can walk to school together." Sora offered.

"Alright!" Yuma grinned to him.

While he isn't listening Tori told the twins, "Just to tell you two, Yuma's real confident, and he isn't a good duelist along with a determination to never give up."

"Well determination is a good thing." Claire admitted.

They arrived at school where Yuma breathed, "Alright 2 minutes before the first bell better then being late!"

"True." Claire nodded only to pause. "I'll be right back."

"Be careful sis." Sora told her.

She nodded before walking down the hallways before frowning. "Reginald!"

Shark who has on a purple jacket, and blue shirt with jeans was talking to two boys before heading her looking her, and told the boys something as they walked off as he greeted, "Claire."

"Today during Dueling period, you and me." Claire told him.

"Why the sudden challenge?" Shark asked her curiously.

"We both need to improve if we want to deal with him." Claire pointed out.

"True point. Alright I'll duel ya. And let me throw in an extra stake." Shark said before grinning, "I win we go out."

Claire's eyes widened as she blushed. "Oh um... well what if I win?"

"That's for you to decide. See ya then." Shark said walking off, "Love ya Claire."

"Love you too." Claire blushed before heading back to her classroom.

She sat beside Sora who asked, "Ya alright?"

"I... yeah." she nodded before smirking. "Everybody's going to see something special during Dueling Period."

Sora blinked before nodding as they learned throughout the day seeing Yuma goofing around school with a big boy wearing a cap laughing each time. Soon it was dueling period.

"Alright time to feel the flow!" Yuma grinned jumping in only to land on his bottom crying out.

"Yuma." Tori frowned before sighing.

"I'm sorry what? Feel the flow?" Sora asked confused.

Yuma explained getting up, "It's a phrase my Dad taught me about no matter how hard I'm down, I'll always get back up, and be ready to High Five the Sky!"

"Ok..." Sora nodded uncertainly.

"Trust me you'll get used to it. Though it hasn't helped Yuma with his dueling." Tori explained.

"So what if I kept losing! I'm not quitting ya hear!?" Yuma declared.

"That sounds kind of like your..." Sora started only to pause and look down. "Sorry Tori."

"What you saying sorry for?" Tori asked him.

He frowned. "Your dad."

"Oh, I told ya that I wouldn't mind if I'm reminded. He died keeping all of us safe from those two with Uncle Chara's future self." Tori smiled to him.

"I know, but I still don't like bringing it up." Sora admitted as Claire took a breath.

"Reginald, are you ready to lose?" she asked.

"Reginald?" Yuma asked as Shark turned over, "You mean Shark?"

"That's right." Claire nodded with a smile walking over to him.

"Hope your ready for what happens after beautiful." Shark grinned at her.

"And I said that's for you to decide." Shark replied.

Claire nodded. "Deal."

"So Tori what exactly does Claire do?" Yuma asked her.

Tori grinned, "Only that she uses a strong Water Deck."

"You ready for this?" Shark grinned activating his Duel Disk which is different back then, and equipped himself with a headset on him.

Claire activated her own putting on a similar headset. "Of course, Reggie."

"Alright Duel Gazer let's roll!" Yuma declared

"Duel Interface Set. Augmented Realty Vision Link Established." a computer said as their gazers glowed.

"LET'S DUEL!"

"Ice Barrier? Never heard of it." the big boy they know as Bronk walked over saying that.

"Next up since I have an Ice Barrier monster in play I can summon Prior of the Ice Barrier in defense mode." Claire continued.

You can Tribute this card to target 1 "Ice Barrier" monster in your Graveyard, except "Prior of the Ice Barrier"; Special Summon that target.


"Of course the price for summoning him is I can't play any monsters that are level five or higher. now I'll set two cards and end my move."

"But their both not the same level or can be used to Synchro Summon." Yuma said seeing that.

Shark smirked, "Please you think I'd made an amateurish mistake? I activate Saber Shark's ability to make it's level the same as Stickers!"

Saber Shark: (LV: 4 - 1 = 3)

"I saw that coming." Claire smiled. "Aero Shark?"

"No. This here is just for you." Shark grinned, "I overlay level 3 Saber Shark, and Shark Stickers!"

The two flew up entering the Galactic Portal.

"Now I activate Black Ray Lender's special ability! By using an Overlay Unit, Defender of the Ice Barrier's abilities are negated!" Shark called as Black Ray Lander took an Overlay Unit in it's spear firing a wave at Defender. (ORU: 2 - 1) "I hope you weren't hoping to use Defender to stop me."

"I was kind of hoping I could." Claire admitted. "As long as I have another Ice Barrier in play you can't attack with anything that has more than 1600 attack points."

"We'll since that ability's gone Black Ray Lancer can attack!" Shark called as Black Ray Lancer charged in.

Claire suddenly grinned. "Recognize this trap Reggie?"

"Poseidon Wave?" Shark asked seeing that.

"That's right, not only does this stop Black Ray Lancer's attack but for each Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua monster on my field you take 800 points of damage." Claire smiled. "Lucky for me both my monsters are Aqua types."

A statue rose releasing a tsunami that stopped Black Ray Lancer, and struck Shark. (Shark: 2400)

"Nice one sis!" Sora grinned.

She grinned. "Anything else Reggie?"

"I'm placing two cards down, that's it." Shark ended his turn.


Clarie: 4000

Shark grunted seeing it.

"Brionac's special ability activates, by discarding cards from my hand I can return the same number of cards to your hand." Claire mentioned. "I discard all three of my cards to return Black Ray Lancer and your facedown cards to your hand."

Shark suddenly grinned as all but his other face-down vanished.

"Huh?" Claire asked in shock. "What happened?"

"See this?" Shark asked revealing Treasure Map.


Treasure Map

Normal Trap Card

"So now I can draw 2 Cards in exchange for discarding one." Shark drew, and discard.

"Well I still win." Claire smiled. "I switch Prior of the Ice Barrier to attack mode. Brionac attack Reggie directly!"

The attack struck Shark. (Shark: 0100)

"I've learned new tricks Claire." Shark grinned to her, "And since I took damage, I can activate an effect!"

Her eyes widened hearing that.

"I activate Integrity Shark's special ability! With no monsters on my field, I can summon this card the moment, I take damage!" Shark called as a blue SOUL Shark appeared.

"That's the one mom gave him." Sora whispered.

"Integrity Shark only has 900 attack points Reggie, which is just weak enough to end this. Prior of the Ice Barrier attack!" Claire called.

Prior charged as Shark grinned, "Think I wasn't prepared? I activate Friller Rabca's ability in my graveyard! When you attack a Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua monster by banishing this card not only is the attack negated, but your monster loses 500 points!"

Prior of the Ice Barrier: (ATK: 1000 - 500 = 500)

"And now Claire this next move will show ya, that I will beat ya." Shark grinned.

After he said that Yuma's key started glowing.

"Huh? Ah!" Yuma cried as it glowed bright.

Soon Claire, and Sora in a space looked around only for something to appear in front of them which looks like a multi colored being obscuring their identity. They looked at the figure in shock.

"What is your desire? Your goals for your friends?" the figure asked them.

"Our goals?" Claire asked. "There are so many."

"Well... To start protect Shark, and Rio from something else happening. They been through so much, and are treated terribly. They need me, and my sister to go on." Sora said to them.

"Not to mention keeping everyone safe from those two Sora." Claire added.

Sora nodded as the figure nodded as two cards appeared in front of them to take as they took it seeing their Xyz Monsters but their different.


They opened their eyes looking around confused with Yuma doing the same. Claire blinked before shaking her head in confusion.

"Ah!" They look to see Shark was in a purple aqua cried out as a voice said in his mind, "Yes Shark, let the Number take hold."

"Reggie!" Claire cried in horror.

"AAAHHH!" Shark screamed before calling, "I overlay level 3 Integrity Shark, and Big Jaws!"

The two entered the Overlay Network.

"With them, I can build the Overlay Network! Now Number 17: Leviathan Dragon! Be born!" Shark called as what rose was a black pillar like monument before unfolding into a blue serpent dragon with two horns, red eyes, and wings roaring with a yellow 17 on it's horn.

"What's a Number?" Chara asked.

"I've never seen this monster before in my life." Bronk said in shock by Leviathan Dragon.

Tori agreed, "Yeah, same here."

"And what's with the whole number thing?" Bronk asked seeing the Number.

Shark smirked sadistically, "Now by removing 1 Overlay Unit, I can power up Leviathan Dragon's attack points by 500!"

"What?" Yuma asked in shock.

Leviathan Dragon took an Overlay Unit it's mouth roaring. (ATK: 2000 + 500 = 2500/ORU: 2 - 1)

"That makes it more powerful than Brionac." Claire panicked.

"Leviathan Dragon attack with Shock Stream Blast!" Shark called as Leviathan Dragon attacked Brionac.

Claire cried out as her monster shattered.

(Claire: 3800)

"Sis! Ya alright!?" Sora asked running to her.

She nodded. "I'm ok, but something's wrong. That hurt and he's acting weird."

"Rise up." a male voice told her.

She blinked and looked around for the voice. She then notices a white being with a green eye, and blue she with gems on his body floating behind Yuma. She then notices a white being with a green eye, and blue she with gems on his body floating behind Yuma. She blinked seeing him before frowning and getting up. "Anything else Reggie?"

"I can place two cards down. Your move Claire." Shark ended his turn.

The being flew beside Claire.


Clarie: 3800

Shark: 0100


Claire 3rd Turn:

'Great, no cards in my hand and Prior is my only card on the field... then again, I do have one chance.' Claire thought drawing her card. "I set a monster and end my turn."

"A Number with 2500 points. This does not bode well." the being told Claire.

"Hey why don't you right your own battles this is Claire's!" Yuma snapped at him.

"This is my battle as well since that Number is connected to my memories." the being told him.

"Yuma, who ya talking to?" Bronk asked confused.

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about but this is between me and Reginald." Claire told the being. "So just let me handle this on my own."

The being looked before nodding, "Very well madame. I'll trust you."

With that said he flew beside Yuma. Claire stared at Reginald. "It's your turn Reggie."

Shark 3rd Turn:

"Alright, I'll draw!" Shark called drawing, "And to start I'll use Leviathan Dragon's ability to get stronger!"

Leviathan Dragon took a second Unit roaring. (ATK: 2500 + 500 = 3000/ORU: 1 - 0)

"3000!" Tori cried in shock, "Claire be careful!"

"It's ok, I have two monsters in defense mode to protect me Tori." Claire reassured her.

Claire flinched at that.

"I can Overlay Double Fin Shark, and Saber Shark!" Shark called as the two flew up back to the Overlay Network. "Howl, unknown roar! Rise from the darkness of the abyss! Xyz Summon! Rank 4, Bahamut Shark!"

"I'm sure you haven't forgotten what Bahamut Shark can do." Shark smirked.

"No, I haven't." Claire admitted.

"By using an Overlay Unit, Bahamut Shark allows me to summon a Rank 3 or lower Water Xyz Monster from my Extra Deck!" Shark called as it used a Overlay Unit, (ORU: 2 - 1) "It's what you asked earlier! Submersible Carrier Aero Shark!"

Prior shattered from the attack.

"Now Leviathan Dragon, Shock Stream Blast!" Shark called as the Number attacked her face-down.

It was revealed to be Caravan of the Ice Barrier before shattering.

"Alright Claire your move now." Shark smirked. 'I have Poseidon Wave, and Xyz Reflect to stop her from getting any ideas.'

Claire 4th Turn:

Claire drew her card and frowned. "I play Pot of Greed."

"It doesn't matter what you draw, your still at my mercy." Shark told her.

Claire drew her cards only to frown. "I play Mystical Space Typhoon on the... left facedown?"


Mystical Space Typhoon

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; destroy that target.


Shark looked shocked as it's shown to be a Poseidon Wave of his own.

Claire's eyes widened. "If I attacked while you had that set..."

She smiled.

"You're always prepared for everything, if I didn't take that risk on my first turn you would have beaten me for sure."

"Still even if you done that, no matter what monster you bring out my monsters are stronger." Shark told her.

"You're right, but I have one monster that can get around that." Claire told him. "Dewdark of the Ice Barrier."

"You remember what he does don't you Reggie?"

"It can... Attack me." Shark said in shock.

"That's right, Dewdark attack him directly!" Claire declared.

Dewdark charged attacking Shark who cried out.


Claire: 3800

Shark: 0000

Claire wins the duel!


"She just beat Shark!" Yuma cried as Tori cheered.

The being at that stretch a hand as a card exited Shark flying to him who grabbed it's and look at it. Claire ran to him nervously. "Reggie?"

Shark slowly sat up, "Claire? I... I didn't hurt you did I?"

"Wait... you don't remember what happened?" she asked him.

"Well... I blanked out before I can summon Shark Caesar." Shark admitted.

"Oh..." Claire started before sighing. "Well you beat me fair and square. I wasn't able to pull it off."

"I did?" Shark asked blinking.

She nodded. "Yeah, you did."

"Well guess we know what that means." Shark grinned to her standing up.

"Yeah, we do." she smiled kissing his cheek.

Shark blushed before saying, "I'll be back."

He walked off as they walked to her.

"Ya okay sis?" Sora asked her.

"Yeah... I'm just glad Reggie's ok." she nodded before pausing and frowning before taking out her deck only for her eyes to widen. "Huh?"

"Why did you lie to him? You won." Yuma asked her confused.

Claire blushed at that before frowning. "Sora... did you get one too?"

"What one?" Sora asked taking a look at his deck, and blinked, "Huh, you mean this?"

She looked before nodding. "Yeah. Do you think mom knows what they are?"

"I don't know. Their the same as Shark's own card." Sora admitted.

"Their Number Cards." the being told the two, "Their the key to unlocking my memories."

"Your memories?" Sora asked before pausing. "Oh... who are you?"

"I am Astral. At least that's what I know." the being admitted, "But the four numbers we have now made it clear that to restore my memories we need to collect all 99 Number cards."

Bronk stared at them in confusion. "Ok, you guys are starting to freak me out. I think you should get some sleep."

"Their fine Bronk. You just can't see who their talking too." Tori answered since she's used to seeing them talking to Duel Spirits.

"You can see him can't you Tori?" Sora asked her.

"Yeah." Tori nodded, "Might be cause of my dad's genes."

Claire frowned before hugging her. "Do you and aunt Muffet want to have dinner with us tonight?"

Tori hugged her, "It's okay Claire."

"Huh? Did something happened?" Astral asked at that.

"It's a really long story." Sora answered sadly.

"Claire you should prepare, and you and Shark's night out." Tori smiled.

She blushed but nodded. "Yeah, you're right."

"And if it's okay can we duel tomorrow after it?" Tori asked her.

"You want to duel me Tori?" Claire asked.

Tori nodded.

"We still have a little time, do you want to duel Tori?" Sora asked her.

"With you dear nephew?" Tori smiled.

Sora frowned. "Not funny Tori."

"Sorry Uncle." Tori giggled while Yuma looked shocked.

"Uncle? Is he behind in school years?" Yuma asked.

"No, we're a lot younger than our older brother, and his wife's twin brother is Tori's dad." Claire explained. "Or... was."

Tori patted her back.

"You keep comforting us but we should be the ones comforting you." Sora admitted before smiling softly.

"You don't seem bothered by the loss of your dad." Bronk told Tori.

Tori admitted, "I am sad for him, but what comforts me is that he died saving all of us from a group of bad guys with two people who my family spend years fighting."

"And you did get to see him one time." Claire added.

"As a baby after I was born." Tori smiled, "And what comforts me more is that I know he is still fighting with his Deck that I am using for his honor."

Sora smiled at that.


Ulrich362: And with that the Zexal portion has begun. Though for the curious Claire got lucky, she's a good duelist but not better than Shark, at least not yet.

bopdog111: And the quest for the Numbers have begun.

Ulrich362: True, but what are the Numbers and who is this Astral person?
