Chapter 3:Lillie in Trouble! Duel on Ice pt 1

Lillie was passed out from what happened to her earlier with Domino and Pheromosa. As she was hoping this was all a dream, only for Lillie to hear a voice she had never heard before called out to her to wake up.

"Hey, hey there, miss, are you okay? Please wake up." A female voice called out to Lillie while shaking her awake Lillie was waking up to see a young brown-haired girl standing above her with a worried look.

"Ah, who are you, and where is Ash," Lillie said, startled as she got up and wondered who this person is standing in front of her, let alone where she was.

"Easy there, I just found you passed out. And who is this Ash person? I've never heard of him?" the young girl said to Lillie, who was recovering from the attack that happened to her.

"Ash is my soon-to-be fiancé. He's someone who been there for me and helped my family," Lillie said to the young girl, who was amazed by hearing this. "Who are you anyway, and where are we?" Lillie asked the young girl.

"My name is Tea, and as for where we are, I have no idea. I know we are in a place where we have to duel to save ourselves," Tea said to Lillie, who was confused about what Tea meant by Duel.

Lillie trusted Tea somewhat but still doesn't know who she is. "My name is Lillie Aether. Nice to meet you. What do you mean by Duel? Is it similar to a Pokémon battle?" Lillie asked Tea, who, in turn, was confused about what Lillie meant.

Before Tea could ask Lillie, the same Penguin that Tea had been following showed up in front of the two girls and waved its flippers for the two girls to follow it. "Ugh, you again. I was wondering where you ran off to as you seem like you know where to go next," Tea said to the Penguin as the Penguin waddled off.

Both Lillie and Tea followed the Penguin Lillie felt like she was losing her mind as to what kind of Pokémon that it was as she was now worried about Snowy, not to mention Ash and everyone else.

Lillie and Tea arrived at what looked like a raft. The Penguin pointed at the raft for the two to get on it. The two girls were skeptical but had no choice as the two got on the raft as took off downstream. Lillie thought this would be a good idea to ask what was going on and what dueling was about.

Tea explained what Duel monsters are about to the best of her knowledge as Lillie tried to comprehend what Tea was explaining. With no avail, Tea noticed.

"I know that it is confusing, and trust me, I haven't dueled in a long time myself, mostly at school and one time for my friend Yugi," Tea said to Lillie, who thought that was cute.

"So it's nothing like Pokémon battles, I can tell," Lillie said to Tea while explaining what that was. Well, surprisingly, she understood what Lillie meant.

"So that's what you use in the world where you are from, I think I can grasp what you are saying, but we don't have any of those things here, not that I know of. Maybe the closet thing is the monster cards," Tea said as she pulled out a monster card, one of her favorites, to show Lillie, who thought it was cute as it was Shinning Friendship.

"So, can you tell me what is going on? I mean, I just got into this world or something just recently, mainly when you found me," Lillie asked Tea, who was starting to trust Lillie and explained what was going on with her friends to five old geezers called the Big 5 and someone named Noah.

"Ew, that's gross that those old guys are trying to take over people's bodies like that, and there is another girl in the group that must be awkward as well," Lillie said with a disgusted look on her face.

"Yeah, creepy old men want to duel us. That is the gist. The worst part of it is you, the rest of my friends, aside from Yugi and Joey, and Kaiba, who are the most experienced duelists out of all of us, have little to no experience. Duke may have one Duel, but that is all, nothing else," Tea said to Lillie, who now sarcastically feels safe hearing that. Tea noticed. "So what happened to bring you here? We were forced here by our blimp to come here?" Tea asked Lillie.

Lillie was about to explain what happened when the two girls arrived at where the raft was taking them to. "Ugh, I'll have to explain later. I guess from the looks of it, we are here," Lillie said to Tea and then looked at her. "If I have to duel, will you help me if possible? I feel like I will have no choice in taking part in at least one," Lillie asked Tea, who hesitated but nodded.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Virtual world, Ash and Goh, as Solgaleo, had just arrived in the dimension where Lillie was. Ash and Goh arrived in a forest with a lake. Solgaleo left for the time being. "Return when we get a chance to get out of here, please, Solgaleo," Ash said to the sun legendary, who nodded.

"The problem is now we don't know where or what dimension we are in?" Ash said to Goh, who tried to communicate via his phone but to no avail. Ash sighed at this and looked around, the world was beautiful, he would admit.

"Man, why can't we have things go our way when it comes to our discoveries and all that," Goh said out loud. "Ash, I hope that Lillie is okay, we went through what looks like hours in that dimension, and we just went in without a plan," Goh said to Ash, who rubbed the back of his head. "Ash, if you are going to get married, you need to stop going into things without thinking," Goh scolded Ash, who looked down.

"I know, Goh, but we didn't have time, and we don't want to let them go too far," Ash said to Goh, who sighed at Ash. "Look, this isn't the first time I went dimension-hopping, and from what Team Rocket has done, it might not be the last," Ash said to Goh, who knew that Ash would say that.

Goh was about to say something but noticed a blondish-black spikey-haired adult male heading into what looked like a doorway. "Hey, maybe he might know where we are and what is going on?" Goh said to Ash, who had already started to make his way over to where he was heading, with Pikachu and Snowy following him. "Hey, Ash wait," Goh said and ran after him. "This is what I meant earlier," Goh thought.

The two entered the doorway with the young man as the door closed behind them. Ash and Goh now notice that and are freaking out about what is happening. "Now look what you've done. Ash was always rushing into things. Now we are stuck in the middle of Arceus, knows where," Goh yelled at Ash, who sighed.

"At least we got here, Goh, and now to see where that guy went," Ash said to Goh as he noticed the man standing in front of what looked to be four pathways. Ash and Goh ran toward where he was at. "Hey there, you okay?" Ash asked the young man.

"Huh? And who might you two be," the young boy asked. "Careful, Yugi, I don't know who these two are, but we need to be on our guard," another voice said to Yugi, who nodded.

"Hi, my name is Ash Ketchum, and this is my friend Goh. We had just arrived here searching for our friend Lillie who wound up wherever we were. Maybe you can tell where we are and what is going on?" Ash asked the young boy.

"My name is Yugi Motto a pleasure to meet you two, and I've never heard that name before, as what is going on it's kinda a long story. As for your friend, we haven't met anyone by that name?" Yugi said to Ash and Goh, who groaned at this.

"See, Ash, I told you earlier you jump into things without thinking. Now we are stuck in this place. You owe me after all this is said and done," Goh said to Ash, who had an anime Sweatdrop, as did Yugi.

"Those two make a good couple, won't lie, Yugi," the spirit of the Pharaoh said to Yugi, who quietly chuckled. "Don't say that to those two, and I must say these two do look friendly and might help us," Yugi thought to the Pharaoh, who nodded.

Ash explained to Yugi the situation about Lillie being his fiancé and how Faba was responsible for Lillie being sent here with Goh explaining he was here to make sure Ash didn't do anything too stupid.

While Ash and Goh were with Yugi, Tea and Lillie had arrived, in Tea's words, "a virtual Antarctica or worse planet of the penguins," as they surrounded the two girls. There was a large building ahead of them with penguin statues surrounding it. The multitude of penguins pointed the girls toward the building.

Lillie was very nervous, knowing that there was a high possibility that one of the Big 5 was waiting for them inside the building. Tea was fuming. "If we have to climb two thousand stairs, there had better be someone there that speaks English."

After ten minutes of walking up the steps, the two girls entered the building: only to be surrounded by more penguins. "Hello, is anyone in here" Tea called out? As soon as Tea finished her question, the doors shut behind them.

"Of course, open your eyes and look around, will you? You surrounded by my penguin army," replied a male voice.

Lillie was annoyed. "We noticed. We wanted to know if anyone was in here without feathers and a beak."

"There's no one here but us penguins, Tea and Lillie," the voice responded, shocking both girls.

"You know our names," asked Tea, surprised.

"I know more than that. Tea Gardner: 5ft 5, size six sneaker. Lillie Aether, daughter of the Aether Paradise president, which is one of the best Pokémon conservation reserves. I've got all the numbers in my report, and I'd say your numbers are up because I'm about to put the freeze on you both," the voice responded then it started laughing.

Tea was fed up with the mysterious voice's laughing. "Who are you, and what do you want from us anyway?"

"Don't tell me you forgot our last meeting," said the voice. Multiple penguins moved to the side, revealing a table with papers on it. A bulkier dark blue penguin wearing a tuxedo and a top hat appeared out of nowhere, floating down and landing on the table, still chuckling, surprising the two girls.

Lillie turned to Tea. "You know this Creep?"

Tea shook her head. "I'd think I would remember him," she responded.

"Look, things are never what they appear to be here, so I looked a bit different when we met earlier. I'm one of the Big 5." The Penguin jumped backward off the table, landed in a chair behind it, and pulled out a notebook. The name's Crump, former accountant of KaibaCorp," the Penguin started introducing himself.

"You're disguised as a penguin," asked Lillie, confused as to why this man would be dressed as a penguin.

"Yes, and I'll explain all that soon, but first, let's do a quick run through your numbers," said Crump opening the notebook. "According to my notes, there's a 100% chance we'll duel." The girls were stunned.

"Me vs. you?"Tea asked, nervously hoping it would be just her facing Crump and he would leave Lillie out of it.

"Both of you will be facing me," Crump responded, shooting down Tea's hopes to keep Lillie out of harm's way while Lillie was very nervous. "Winner gets to leave this world while the loser is trapped here forever."

"Terrific," Lillie muttered. "I'm fighting for my life in a game I know very little about."

Crump ignored Lillie's mutterings and continued reading. "According to my calculations. Tea has dueled five times in her, which gives her a 1% chance of winning this Duel. Lillie has never dueled before, so she has a 0% chance of victory. Lillie also recently confessed her feelings to a boy who is way out of her league."

Lillie was furious. "EXCUSE ME! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ASH IS OUT OF MY LEAGUE?"

Crump ignored the enraged girl. "My notes state Tea has eaten 216 slices of pizza."

Now Tea was angry. "Hey, how do you know all this about us, birdbrain?"

"Collecting facts and figures is my job, and you'd be surprised what numbers tell you about a person's life," Crump responded.

"Our lives are none of your business Crump" Tea retorted, and Lille nodded her head, agreeing with her.

"I have to disagree with you," Crump said ."I need to know everything about you so that once I win this Duel and take over one of your bodies, I'll be ready to live as one of you."

"NO WAY," both girls yelled.

"My partners and I no longer have our own bodies," said Crump

"So that's why," Lillie began.

"Yes, that's why I've taken the form of a giant virtual penguin and come here to live with my penguin brothers and sisters," Crump finished. All the other penguins started clapping their flippers, cheering.

Tea was annoyed "so why don't you stay here?"

"Because I need the real-world Tea," Crump answered. "And once I outduel the both of you in my very own Palace of Ice, I'll return to the world disguised as one of you."

Lillie was annoyed. "Listen to us, flipper feet. We've had enough of this, so we're out of here." Tea nodded, and the two girls ran off.

"We'll see about that, girls," Crump chuckled.

Tea and Lillie had run out of the penguin building and into the nearby forest. Lillie thought they were home free, but suddenly the girls heard Crump's voice. "You can try to run away, girls, but the odds are against you." As soon as Crump finished this statement, the trees were suddenly covered in snow, then both girls slipped as the ground beneath them turned into ice.

Lillie was scared. "What's going on?" The ice beneath the girls cracked then both girls were on separate icebergs shooting upwards

Tea's ice widened, "This can't be good."

"Nice try," called Crump on top of a third iceberg directly across from the two girls. "Looks like my iceberg dueling field is about to leave you cold." A duel disk appeared on the girl's right arm, and cards began scrolling in front of them. "Before we start, we'll have to choose our cards from the card database. Not that it matters what cards you two pick. The probability that you two will be victorious is slim to none."

Lillie was utterly terrified and turned to face Tea. "What do I do, Tea?"

Tea was also scared, but she remained calm "choose a balance of monster, magic, and trap cards, Lillie. You need to trust yourself or you will lose before the first card is even played." Lillie nodded, and 5 minutes later, all three participants were ready.

"Okay, as per the new rules, it's time to pick your Deck Master. It can be any monster in your Deck."

Both girls looked through their respective assembled decks. "My deck master is Dunames Dark Witch," Lillie announced.

Tea took a deep breath. "I know exactly who I want to choose. Dark Magician Girl is my Deck Master.

Lillie glared at Crump. "We've chosen our Deck Masters. Now it's your turn."

"I've already taken the form of a monster known as Nightmare Penguin, you fools. So I'm both the duelist and the Deck Master. Two threats simultaneously, and once you two are put on ice, I'll be free to waddle my way to the real world."

"Guess again, Crump," Lillie shouted, activating her duel disk, with Tea and Crump following suit. All three duel disks show the life points at 4,000.

"It's time to duel, shorty," Tea declared.

As the girls were about to face Crump, Yugi explained how duel monsters worked to Ash, Goh, Pikachu, Snowy, and Grookey.

"So the goal is to reduce your opponent's life points to 0 using Monster, magic, and trap cards, and you need to balance your deck with a mixture of all threes for it to be effective," said Ash understanding the rules while the explanation flew right over Goh's head.

Yugi nodded, "yep, you've got the basic idea, Ash." The spirit of the Pharaoh appeared next to Yugi. "I believe the years of training Pokémon and developing strategies for all his important battles made it quite easy for him to understand the rules and mechanics of Duel Monsters." Yugi nodded, thinking the same thing.

Goh felt a little overwhelmed. "Uh, not to sound rude but shouldn't we be trying to find Lillie."

Ash turned to Goh with Pikachu and Snowy sitting on his shoulders, the latter showing concern for the whereabouts of her mother/trainer. If it weren't for her Mommy's mate petting her head, she probably would be running around wildly looking for Lillie. "Your right Goh enough distractions. We need to find Lillie before she is challenged to a duel by one of the Big 5. Lucario, I choose you," Ash called out his Fighting/Steel type.

Yugi and the Pharaoh were quite interested in seeing this new creature. It was a bipedal, canine-like creature with predominantly blue and black fur. It possessed a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw. In addition to a third on its chest. It had red eyes, a long snout, and ears. Lucario turned to Ash, waiting for his orders.

"Lucario, there's a group known as the Big 5. They could be targeting Lillie as we speak. We need to find her quickly. See if you can figure out a way out of this maze," Ash asked his AuraAura Pokémon.

Lucario nodded and closed his eyes, using his AuraAura to scope the maze. Two minutes later held his hand out and sent the answer to Ash via its Aura.

"Okay, so the four doors have stars on them, and we have to go through them in order: First the one-star door, then the two-star door, then the three, and finally the four-star door," Ash questioned his Aura Pokémon, who nodded. Yugi and the Pharaoh were impressed at how the two could communicate without speaking.

Goh was confused. "Uh, Ash, how did you know that? Lucario didn't say anything."

"That's easy, Lucario told me through its aura." This shocked Goh, Grookey, Snowy, Yugi, and the Pharaoh. Pikachu was also surprised, but he had seen Ash do crazy things. Just add this to the list.

Yugi recovered first. "Okay, we can deal with that information later. Right now, let's get through this maze."

"Time to kick your feathered butt," Tea declared, starting the Duel. She drew her card, and it was Mirror Force, a trap she saw Yugi use quite a lot. "To begin, I'll place one card face down, and then I'll summon Ancient Elf to the field to attack mode and end my turn.

(Ancient Elf:1450/1200)

"Okay, I can do this," Lillie thought, drawing a card from her Deck, revealing it to be the Magic Cylinder trap card. "If I can pull this off, I should be able to do a lot of damage to his life points," Lillie thought after reading the card. "I also place one card face down, and I'll summon Shining Angel in attack mode and end my turn," Lillie declared.

(Shining Angel: 1400/800)

Crump drew a card from his Deck. "Now the fun begins. Watch this: I'll start by summoning my Giant Red Seasnake, and he gets a little power boost (Giant Red Seasnake:1800/800 ➡️ 2000/800)

Tea and Lillie's eyes widened. "How did your snake get more attack points already?"

"Well, my deck master ability increases the attack power of all Water monsters on my side of the dueling field," Crump answered. " So now my snake has 2000 attack points, and that's a number you can't argue with."

"Perfect, if he attacks, he'll lose half his life points," thought Lillie. "Give it your best shot, creep," Lillie declared, but Crump did not order an attack. "Wait, why aren't you attacking"asked Lillie, confused.

"You think I was hatched yesterday? An accountant knows to look at all the figures and to ignore your face-down cards which are traps," Crump declared, shocking both Lillie and Tea that he saw right through their strategy. That would be a foolish mistake unless I play this card: the magic card Cold Wave which freezes all magic and traps on the field for one turn."

Lillie's eyes widened. "Oh no, that means"

That your Shining Angel is now wide open," declared Crump. Now my Giant Red Seasnake will attack your angel and destroy it!" The giant snake burrowed right through the angel.

(L: 3400)

(C: 4000)

(T: 4000)

Lillie's feet were suddenly encased in ice.

"What's going on?" Tea looked at Lillie's feet being covered with ice.

"As we lose life points, our bodies will be encased in ice. Soon you'll both be nothing but a frozen block of ice floating around Noah's virtual world for all eternity!"

Not so fast, Crump," spoke a shivering Lillie. "You activated not only my Shining Angel's special ability but also Deck Master's Ability. First, when Shining Angel is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: I can Special Summon 1 LIGHT monster with 1500 or less ATK from my Deck in face-up Attack Position. So I special summon Mystical Elf to the field." (Mystical Elf 800/2000) "Next, my Deck Master's special ability is whenever I lose life points, I can summon a light monster to the field in defense mode, and I chose Spirit of the Harp." Spirit of the Harp (800/2000)

The boys were about to start the maze puzzle when Lillie's voice was heard. "It's so cold. I can't believe how cold it is." This scared Ash and Snowy.

"Lillie," Ash shouted, rushing forward, his hair temporarily flashing gold. The monster inside the door tried to block him, but Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt while Snowy unleashed Powder Snow and Lucario unleashed its Aura Sphere. The poor Sinister Serpent (300/200) was obliterated.

Goh and Yugi ran after Ash and the Pokémon. "Is this normal for Ash to have this much anger," Yugi asked Goh, who was not sure what was going on? He had seen Ash angry before, but this was new.

"I've seen Ash angry but not with this much fury," Goh responded, trying to keep up with Ash. "I know you love Lillie Ash, but you are being reckless." Neither Yugi nor Goh noticed Ash's hair temporarily flash gold. Yami, however, did notice it.

Tea looked over at Lillie, who was shivering horribly. Crump decided to taunt the poor girl. "What's the matter? Lillie got cold feet."

Tea flared at Crump" Leave her alone, you creep."

"It's... fine," Lillie told her teammate. "I'm still in this."

Tea nodded to her drawing a card. "I set a monster facedown in defense mode and switched Ancient Elf to defense mode," switching the monster, as mentioned earlier's card sideways. Ancient Elf took a defensive stance in front of Tea. "I end my turn."

Lillie drew her card, "I switch Mystical Elf to defense mode," doing the same thing. Tea did with Ancient Elf's card. "I end...my turn," Lillie stuttered.

"Doesn't look like you've dressed for the weather," Crump joked. "Unlike me, who thrives in the cold." He drew a card, "Now let's see... this one looks good... then again, these could make a dangerous combination... which to choose... so many options."

"Will you just move already!" Lillie snapped, the cold rapidly draining her patience.

"I'll take my time, thank you very much. As an accountant, I take the time to weigh my options and their chances of victory. That's how I roll, by numbers and statistics. Now then, I play three cards facedown and end my turn."

Why didn't he attack? He has the advantage. He must be up to something. Tea thought as she drew a card, "I play the magic card Mystical Space Typhoon. This magic card can destroy one of your magic or trap cards." Crump's Mirror Wall was destroyed.

"You feel right into my trap," Crump said. "I reveal my face-down cards Driving Snow and Gust. These trap cards can reveal both of those trap cards you both have and destroys them." Tea's face-down Mirror Force was destroyed, as was Lillie's Face-down Magical Cylinder. "So it was Mirror Force and Magic Cylinder, eh? A rookie mistake, and now that you're unprotected, I'm free to attack either of you on my next turn."

Tea looked at Lillie, who was still shivering despite her bravado from earlier. Suddenly she heard a voice inside her head.

"Tea, be strong, or we won't be able to keep your friend safe."

Tea turned to her Deck Master, surprised. "Was that you?"

Dark Magician Girl nodded. "Yes, it was. One of my Deck Master's abilities allows us to communicate mentally. I am here to guide you."

Tea nodded in understanding. "Okay, let's do this." Tea drew a card. Yes, I play Tribute to the Doomed!" Crump's snake was entangled in bandages. "Looks like I got this all wrapped up, Crump," Tea joked as the monster was destroyed. "Next, I'll flip summon my face-down monster, Fire Sorcerer (6)!" A girl with long blonde hair in a black dress appeared. She emitted fire from her hands which Tea used to warm Lillie, who smiled.

"Thanks, Tea. I needed that." Lillie thanked her teammate, who nodded at her.

"No problem Lillie. Now I'll discard two cards to activate Fire Sorcerer's special ability, taking away 800 points from your life points."

(L:3400)

(T: 4000)

(C: 3200)

Crump let out a squawk as his flippers were lit on fire. "Finally, I'll have my Fire Sorcerer attack your life points directly! Southern-Fried Penguin, anyone?" Crump was sizzled but still standing.

(L: 3400)

(T: 4000)

(C: 2200)

"Now that you've lost life points, you're twisted rule turns against you, "Tea pointed out.

As Tea said, Crump's feet and legs (or what he had for legs) were encased in ice. "How do you like a taste of your own medicine?" Lillie asked the creepy Penguin.

"I absolutely love it," Crump responded. "In case you had forgotten, I'm a penguin, and we prefer things on the cool side, or do you two need a lesson on antarctic birds."

Actually, I do have a question, Crump. "Tea began, but Crump interrupted her.

"Where did I get my did get my good looks from?"

"No," said an annoyed Lillie. What's with this penguin obsession?"

Crump explained to Tea and Lillie his childhood. "My parents were always too busy arguing about paying attention to me, so I used to stay up in my room and count things. I would count the cracks in the ceiling, the bugs on the wall, and even the hairs on my cat's hairball. One day, I was counting books in our library when I discovered an open book on penguins. That book opened my eyes. I learned that penguin parents took turns sitting on their eggs and were devoted to their young, unlike my own parents. From then on, my entire life was devoted to my two loves: counting and penguins. It was my one dream to open a theme park devoted to penguins one day.

"I worked my way up the Kaiba Corp. ladder, becoming chief accountant to its new CEO, Seto Kaiba. One day I proposed my dream theme park. But Kaiba had other thoughts..."

"A penguin theme park? That's got to be the ridiculous idea I've ever heard. We're a game company, not a petting zoo. Stick to what you're good at, Crump, counting."

"That punk shot down my dream, but once I return to the real world in one of your bodies, I'll finally have my revenge!" Crump shouted out loud.

"You haven't won yet, Crump," said Lillie, drawing a card. "I set a monster in defense mode and end my turn."

Crump drew a card. "I activate Pot of Greed which lets me draw two more cards." Liking at them, he squealed happily. With these cards, I may as well have. I activate Dark Hole destroying all your defenses."

Tea and Lillie gasped in horror as all of their monsters were destroyed. "This is bad," said a terrified Lillie.

I summon Flying Penguin (1200/1000) And with some help from my Deck Master ability."

(FP: 1200-1400)

"And the magic card Penguin Sword..."

(FP: 1400-2200)

"I'll be enjoying your body in no time. Flying Penguin attack Lillie directly.

Lillie screamed as Flying Penguin used the sword to send a shockwave right at her. She could barely use her arms to block a direct hit to her torso from the shockwave, which temporarily caused a smokescreen to cover Lillie from view.

"Lillie" screamed Tea while she and Dark Magician Girl watched in horror as the ice returned and rose to cover more than half of Lillie's body. The only parts of Lillie's body not covered in the ice were her chest, neck, arms, and head.

(L: 1200)

(T: 4000)

(C: 2200)

"Lillie, are you okay," asked Tea, worried about the poor girl.

"I...I...am okay," Lillie stuttered out. I use my deck master ability to summon a second copy of Shining Angel to the field to protect my life points."

Back in the maze, the boys and the Pokémon had arrived back at the four doors. Before they could approach the two-star door, they heard Lillie's voice again.

"I... I'm freezing!"

Snowy was distraught. Vulpix Vul-pix Vul (Mommy stay strong)

Ash was shaking in rage. His flashed gold. "That b*** is gonna pay for harming my girlfriend."

Goh was watching Ash shake with rage and saw his hair flash gold. "O...k, that's new." Grookey Pikachu and Lucario nodded.

Yugi was wide-eyed. "Pharaoh." "Wait, Yugi, something tells me that flash is key to escaping this virtual world.

On the iceberg, dueling feels Lillie was shivering more and more while Tea watched helplessly.

"A little chilly, are we" Crump called to the shivering Lillie. "That's the least of your worries." he then started laughing at the poor girl while Tea could only glare at him.

To Be Continued.

Done and done. Special thanks again to my Collab writer, DraconicFired lord, for writing the second half of this Chapter. Before anyone asked about the whole deck masters situation? Those who had watched that season remember that the rule "Any Monster can be a deck Master" was mentioned multiple times. I also want to get this out of the way. How did nobody call out the whole thing with Cold Wave if anyone had played the card when it was legal? It said, "You can only activate it at the start of the turn" yeah, remember that happened in the anime? I'm surprised that no one caught that. We continued and finished the Duel next Chapter. Also, keep an eye on what is going on with Ash, which will be shown later in the story arcs you'll see.
