Geno nodded, and Pegasus hung his head. "I have not told you all the truth. Geno Roads didn't compete in the tournament." They all looked at him,a nd his head hung lower. "He won. He beat them al, and beat me aswell. And when he did, I gave him one of everycard ever made so far, and allowed him to create a set of his own, though I never knew of what, for he ran the presses himself, and the machines, and came out with a smile, cards in his box, and whispered his name 'Rise of the Marauder.'"

Geno nodded. "You have already seen the first of my cards, the Fusion Dagger. And now you have meet my next card, the son, which I have designed myself."

Kaikou looked at The Son of the Marauder, and then finally saw it. The monster was a clone of Guy Roads! She looked back at her father, and at once saw that he looked like the Marauding Captain, though he was a few years younger. She looked back at her father, and he nodded.

"Yes Kaikou, it was on purpose, as is this card." He placed a monster, and Kaikou watched in shock a monster jumped into battle. Kaikou shock as she looked at her double, though she wore armor of a female Marauder. Geno nodded and punched up her stats:

"When this card is normal summoned, you may search your deck for one magic card and plac eit in your hand. As longa s this card is on the field, your oppenent can't destory any of your mosnters with magic cards."

"That is not all." Geno said. "I have yet another new card for you all to see." He placed a card into his field zone, and they all watched as the room shifted, and the walls became like stone, with fine swords, and a massive hearth where Geno stood. HE looked at them all angrly. "You believed that you could come here, attack those I care for, and take what is mine. But worst of all, you, you my daughter, believed that I was witless and could not see that you stand there. But I knew, and so do my monsters, for this is our dwelling. This, is the Hall of the Marauders."

Hall of the MArauders

Field Spell Card

"As long as this card is one the field, increase all cards with "Marauder", or "Marauding" in their name's atk and def by 800.

Kaikou watched in fear as his monsters smiled. He gave the command, and the Marauding Captain and his son struck down her angelics. Everyone watched in even more shock as The Daughter of the Marauder spun her spear and struck at Kaikou's shoulder, and thanks to the Hall, her strike was truer. (Kaikou-2200)

Kaikou looked at Geno in mild horror, then smiled as she drew. "They are good, but I am better. First, I shall play a second Shing Angel, and the, with the magic of Polymerization, I shall fuse them to summon Angel of Hope! Attack!"

The angel moved forward, but was shocked when the angel slammed against two swords. Geno merely smiled. "I have activate my Quickplay magic card, Marauding Swords. This card blocks all attacks for one turn. Now, ti si time to end this little duel, so I may face your murderer. I will summon Shadow Tamer." The tamer flashed on the field, only to disappear. Kaikou looked at her father, who smiled. "Hall of the Marauders allows me to transform Shadow Tamer to her turn form, as the matriarch of the Marauding clan:"

RMD-005

Marauding Tamer

"This card cannot be normal summoned. This card can only be special summoned by sacrificing one "Shadow Tamer" from the field while the spell card "Hall of the Marauder" is on the field. Once per turn, you may pay 1000 lp to select one of your oppenent's monsters and take control of it for 1 turn"

Kaikou gulped in air in shock as she stared at the monster, and reached for her. Geno bit his lip. "They say this monster was created when, near death, she sealed her soul in a tablet in order to protect her husband."

Kaikou trembled. "Mom?"

The Marauding Tamer looked at her, and raised her whips and took the Angel of Hope to Geno's side of the field. Kaikou readied herself, and suddenly found herself looking at her own body. She looked at her hands, and was shocked to find herself in the body of the Daughter of the Marauder. She looked over at the Son, and he winked.

"What's wrong sis, not use to being warped to the field? Well, dad does do that a little too quick."

"Guy?" She asked. She turned, and found they were in a true hall, and that their friends were gone. That is when she heard a soft laugh, and she watced as the Captain playfully grabbed the Tamer, who laughed.

"Mom..dad?"

The captain looked at her and smiled. "Finally got here?" Captain said, and finally let go of the tamer when she hit him in the shoulder.

"Mom, where are we?"

The tamer smiled. "Kaikou..this is a little place your father made for me and him to get away."

"So.you two.?"

Guy groaned. "All the freaking time, I tell ya, it's sick, seeing my step mom and dad getting it on when I come here to relax."

Kaikou cut him off. "You.you don't mind that he."

"I'll admit, I was miffed about the whole Amanda thing..but I let that go."

Kaikou frowned. "Why did you bring me here?"

Her mother took a deep breath. "To show you that I am ok, because I know you worried about me. And to let you know." She jerked her thumb at the captain. "Don't get mad at Kappa. In the end, he was the greatest thing to happen in my life."

Kaikou felt dizzy, and woke up to find Geno leaning over her. He held out her hand, and she got up. "I lost?"

"Yea."

"Oh well. Good luck against Yami."

Geno nodded, and lead her off the field. He motioned for Yami to step forward. "Let us play, for the last time."
