" Kai, sir. Dylan's match is beginning." A suit said, walking down the hall with the master. " Yes. So it is. I duel in round three. Perhaps he will lose, and I can hand him number two." Kai laughed. " Sir, You may want to hire some of his friends. They could be useful mercenaries." The employee said, turning toward his boss. " No. They are all to good of friends to just turn on each other. But, there is that girl with the manacle. She only tag-teamed with Dylan once, to finish Scorpio. She may be persuaded. Forcefully."

" Alright! Battle Ox, in attack mode! And one face-down card." Dylan said. " Nice move! Harpy Lady, and one card face-down." Laura countered. " Face down Mirror Wall, Eh? Well, Rebel of Set is immune to traps! Devastation lightning attack!" Dylan shouted, but the harpy lady wasn't destroyed. " Anti-Raigeki! Deflects lightning attacks back at their owners! Say good-bye to Battle Ox!" Laura said smugly, and the Ox was incinerated. " 3100. Pretty good. Your move." Dylan sighed, and smiled. " Thanks. Rose whip and Cyber shield. Plus elegant egotist. This gives me three harpy, with attacks of 2450!" Laura shouted. " I still have some time. Rebel of Set is stronger than each of them. But trap cards? Better play another attacker. Summoned Skull, Lightning Strike Attack!" Dylan shouted. " Mirror Wall! Summoned Skull ain't immune to traps." Laura said smugly. " No!" Dylan cried. " I'll play the Harpies Pet Dragon, in attack mode! Fearsome Fire Blast!" Laura said, and the Skull was toasted. ' Down to 1500 already! I can't beat her! wait! Dylan! Let me take over! Why Just trust me Alright!' Dylan grew to Yami form, and drew his card. " Ready? Two cards face-down! And Celtic Guardian, in attack mode!" Yami said, growing cocky. " Big mistake! You lose! Attack!" Laura said, flustered. " Copycat! And I'll copy your Mirror Wall! With Harpy Dragon down to 1450, I can activate Halo Flash, which allows me to choose a card on your field, and remove it from the duel! I choose Harpy Lady!" Y. Dylan laughed. " How? My Dragon is down to 600!" Laura stuttered. " I said I wouldn't play around! Devastation lightning!" Dylan shouted, destroying the Harpy combo and cutting Laura's life points in half. " I'm finished! No, can't think like that. Defend!" Laura mumbled. " Stop Defense!" A Curse of Dragon appeared. "Attack!" Dylan shouted. " He's in the lead! And I can't defend." Laura sighed, and she drew. Her eyes widened. " This, will, do it! Blue-Eyes White Dragon! And Elegant Egotist to triple it. Attack!" Laura shouted. " Elegant Egotist actually works like that? Oh well. Lost my lead, and my best card. But I can beat three dragons! One card face-down, and Dragon Seeker, in attack mode. Special effect activate! You lose one Blue-Eyes!"



" Ooh. This is really intense, Makira. Dylan as himself isn't a match for Laura, But Yami Dylan's better. How weird." Roxanne said to her Yami. " Yes, I to saw that Dylan couldn't hold a candle to Laura. But the Millenium Pendant contains a duelist I don't think I could beat. It's over. If Yami Dylan wasn't shaken by losing his number one card, he can beat anything." Makira said back. " I wonder how Dylan got this good? Or how he got his Millenium Item." Roxanne said curiously. " Maybe you become friends with them. We may not need to be loners anymore." Makira said. " Your right. I'll ask them after the duel."



" Mirror force! Your defender is safe, since you de-spelled my Stop defense. But your Two Blue-Eyes are gone, with 700 life points!" Dylan said. " 500 each, and one card a piece. Who will win this?" Laura said teasingly. " You decide. Crimson Sunbird, in attack mode. Flame Pheonix Fire!" Dylan said, all business. " Rude Kaiser was my card. You beat it, hands down. But I'll win this today! Red-Eyes, Inferno fire blast!" Laura shouted. " Spellbinding circle! Ensnare and decrease! Counter, With Flame Pheonix Fire!" Dylan said, reverting back to normal. " Duel over, duel over! Dylan wins! He and Draco will face next!" The announcer shouted.



" I won?! I don't remember winning the duel? Oh, Yami won. Figures. He's unbeatable." Dylan said to himself. " Hey, Dylan!" A voice said behind him. " Roxanne? What's up?" Dylan said, instantly worried. " Nothing. Kai is two tough for you and your group to take alone. I better come to." Roxanne said, smiling. " Your welcome to. Whenever you wan't." Dylan answered. " Great. Laura invited us to the café to celebrate. Let's go."



" He pulls it off. In spite of everything, he pulls it off. I'm gonna kill something!" Kai shouted, kicking his desk. " Are you beatable, Nasakki? We will all soon see."
