" I have arrived. Kai, old friend, I will delight in defeating Dylan for you. I have been haunted by that defeat for so long." Scorpio said, and took a sip of wine. " The details are arranged. Safety has been removed from Dylan's glove for this one duel. Every life point will feel as if it was ripped from his hid in flesh by a dull scalpel." Kai said, and laughed. " Indeed, you are a genius. Dylan used that Supreme Skull card to take me out last time, but I can adequately take it on this time around." Scorpio laughed. " He duels you next. Get ready."



" Kevin Hunter and Roxanne Hikari, report to the Duel arena." The P.A. system blared. Dylan observed the fighters getting ready, and saw a flash of gold from Roxanne's wrist. ' The Millennium Manacle! This might not go so well for Kevin if a Yami is helping her. She looks normal, though.' Dylan thought, anxiously. " But Kevin's a Pro. He was Runner-up in The Domino tournament. I couldn't compete because of Kai, but he must be good." " I'll start this duel with Winged Dragon, in attack mode! And a card face-down!" Kevin shouted. " Nice move, but I saw it coming. Bistro Butcher! Chefs Knife Rampage!" Roxanne countered. The Butcher ran at the dragon, magically laid him on a cutting board, and chopped him into tiny pieces. " I'm only down to 3400, no big loss! Curse of Dragon! Attack Bistro Butcher with Deadly flame strike!" Kevin cried, and The Dragon destroyed the Butcher in a deadly burst of flame. Score: Kevin: 3600 Roxanne: 3800 " Alright! Summoned Skull! Lightning Strike!" Roxanne shouted. But, before the skull could attack, it dropped into a pit full of acid. "Acid Trap Hole! Your Skulls done for! Attack Directly, Curse of Dragon!" Kevin said, but a giant shield intercepted the attack! " My Millennium shield has a defense power of 3000! Your Curse of Dragon can't touch him!" Roxanne said, confidently. " Down to 2600! Gotta make this turn count. And I've got just the card to do it! Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Kevin said, and the incredible dragon appeared at his side. " Right. Neo in defense mode." Roxanne said. ' If I can get my chaos mage out, I can win!' Roxanne thought. ' Got to win! This card is unstoppable!' " Red-Eyes Black Dragon, in attack mode! And I'll use Polymerization to combine them! Purple-Eyes Grey Dragon! Omega Supreme Blast!" The new dragon launched an amazing blast, and the shield crumbled under it." A card in defense." Roxanne said. " Just Desserts! You lose 1000! Attack!" The dragon blew Neo away. " You may have the power advantage, but I have chance! Magical hats!" Roxanne shouted. The facedown card revealed itself as the Dark Magician, and switched to attack mode, before being hidden. " Strike one hat, your home free. Strike another, nothing happens. Hit any of the other ones, though, and you're in big trouble!" Roxanne said, now with renewed confidence.



" Amazing. They are dead even. Oops. Last time I said that." Dylan groaned. " 'Sup, Dylan! Heard ya facin' Scorpio soon. Dat dude won't give it up, hah!" Joey said from behind. " Scorpio! As in, the guy I beat at the scorpion archipelago? He's dueling ME?" Dylan said, choking on his hot dog. "Yep. But you got nuttin to worry about. You'll win, cause it's tag team. Scorpio and his best eliminator vs. you and someone else. There is one rule, though. The guy you partner with can't be random. You gotta pick 'im." Joey informed the anxious duelists. " Alright. Tag teams are done in labyrinth mode, and I know just the person to choose."



Meanwhile, two hats remained. One had tremendous fire, but Kevin used goblin fan to reflect it back at Roxanne. Then, when Kevin tried to heal himself with Purity medallion, Roxanne used bad reaction to simochi! " Attack!" Kevin yelled, his voice hurting. " The hat you chose. contained mirror force!" Roxanne yelled triumphantly. " Man! That would have fazed me. if I didn't have Raigeki! And now, Koumori Dragon! Attack!" Kevin yelled. He had won. Barely won, but won.

" Alright Kev! Way to take it!" Dylan cried. Then his face turned grim. He had to find a partner. Meanwhile, after all the congratulations and announcemenets, Dylan asked everyone to meet him at the lodge. When they arrived, he announced his big question " I need a tag team partner. Who's it gonna be?"



( Note: I need a partner to duel Scorpio and his goon. If you wan't to be this partner, tell me so in a review. You Have to have appeared ( Sorry everyone, I can't throw a twist. Submissions still open!) and in your review, tell me you wan't to be my partner, make up a fusion for us to use ( Like the Black Skull Dragon for Joey and Yugi) It's stats, it's, appearance, and what it is made of. I'll select the person who maximizes these. See ya!
