Oh, yeah! I'm back! Sorry it took so long, but I've got a life, you know?
I'm quite busy often, and my sister uses the computer a lot, so I don't
always get a chance to write my fanfic, though I try. And also, the modem
to the computer broke, but we've got a new one now, obviously. I decided to
post two episodes this time around, since I took so long to get it up here.
I'll attempt to post the next episode a bit faster. Anyway, the tournament
is finally about to begin now, and the crew will board the cruise ship to
set their sights on Emerald Island (that's the next episode). Surge is out
of jail, which poses potential danger to Tristan. Will Misty win the duel
with Yelola? And remeber that freaky earthquake in Pallet Town, was that
just a natural occurence or something else? Who is the girl on Cinnabar
Island, and what does Meilin and Li have to do with Brock and Tristan? Get
ready for a exciting, good episode of my fanfic! And please review. I
really wanna know just how good a job I am doing on this book.
Disclaimer: I don't own characters from Yu-gi-oh, Cardcaptors or Pokemon. I'm simply borrowing them for my fanfic. These cartoons belong to 4 Kids Entertainment, Kids Wb, and whoever else.
P.S. In Episode 02, I had Maximillion Pegasus shipping out a lot of cards because I didn't know many duel monsters cards. But I have found quite a reliable source so I won't be doing much of this anymore, but I may keep one or two.

Duelists of The Future- Season 1- Episode 06, 'Circumstances' (1/15/2003)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
Previously...
*Aya...* "Hi! Morty, how are you? Remeber me, Aya Kristina Corrington?"
"Oh, what's up Aya?" Morty (Jenkins) greeted her kindly. His height was around 5'10. His golden blonde hair was brushed into lots of wild plats. He had deep, ocean blue eyes that Aya deemed 'enchanting and mesmerizing'. Out of nowhere, a young woman around the age of 18 approached Morty. She was wearing a white dress and matching sandals. Her pastel pink hair was pulled back into a high ponytail (the ponytail was crinkled).
"Who is this?" she wondered.
"Oh, uh, this is my friend, Aya Corrington. Aya, I'd like for you to meet my lovely girlfriend Jasmine Cortez. (the Olivine City gym leader)"
"Hi, nice to meet you," Jasmine extended her hand out toward Aya.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Meilin Rae/ Li Showron...* Meilin and Li stepped off the boat. They looked around at their surroundings and sighed.
"Well, we're finally here. C"mon, let's go find Tristan and Brock," Li said to Meilin. Meilin nodded and they headed into the city.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Ash Ketchum...* Without warning, the earth suddenly began to shake. Ash wondered what was going on as the earth continued to shake. It wasn't bad, but it was bad enough to knock down a few things inside buildings. Then, it stopped. Just as quickly as it came it went away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Seto Kaiba...* "Mr. Kaiba, he's there, in the parking garage," the doctor announced.
"Good, now do your part..." Seto smirked and deactived his communicator.
"Seto Kaiba? What are you doing here, leave me alone!" John ordered as he picked himself up off the ground.
"I don't think that's possible," Seto spoke sinisterly. "See, you're trying to get me busted for jumping you and stabbing your nosy girlfriend, and that's just not acceptible."
Seto ducked John's next punch and grabbed his shoulders. He pulled him closer and kneed him in the abdomen, then mustered all his strength and uppercutted John in the chin, which knocked John into a nearby windshield of a car. Seto snatched him off and banged his head into the hood of the car, then roundhouse kicked him with all his might, which rendered John unconscious.
In the parking garage, Seto had administered the solution into John's system. He dropped John's body down on the ground and walked away with a smirk on his face. "That oughta teach them not to mess with Seto Kaiba," he chuckled and continued walking out of the garage. He (the doctor) grinned evily and injected all of it into Violet's arm, then moved over to Lily. He pulled out another one from his coat pocket and pressed the needle down into Lily's arm, administering the strange solution into her bloodstream. Afterwards, he got up and strolled over to the bed in which Daisy lay. He pulled out one last needle and injected the solution in Daisy via her arm, then round up all the needles and snuggled them into his pocket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Unknown Girl...* There was a lone island off the coast of Cinnabar Island, and a mansion resided on it. Inside the master bedroom of the mansion, sat a 16-year old girl. She was registering herself into the Crystal Kingdom tournament. After she submitted her form, a devious smirk spread across her face.
"I'm coming for you, Pegasus..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Surge Crusher...* Robert gagged and tried to pry away Surge's grip, but Surge put his other hand around his neck, further tightening the grip.
"Now, listen up," Surge spoke in a sinister tone of voice, "I am the leader of a gang. You know that, right? Let me, Jason, and Vicki outta jail right now, or else... Mommy Dearest is wasted, got it?"
"What's your answer, Father?!"
"I'll release you..." Robert's voice trailed off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Misty Chase...* Ronnie sprinted after her, and gained on her rapidly (he sprint very often). He quickly caught Misty and tackled her to the ground.
"Now, kiss me, Misty! Kiss me and kiss me good!!" he screamed and tried to french kiss her. Misty clawed his face with her fingernails. "AHH!!" he yelled, which gave Misty the opening she needed. She punched his face twice and kicked him off of her, then got up and took off running again. Once Misty regained her stamina, she started walking down the eerie road. Without warning, Ronnie jumped from a motor scooter onto her and tackled her to the ground. He quickly tied her hands together before she could do anything, and that's when she finally noticed... Ronnie was BUTT-NAKED!
"AAHHH!!!!" Misty screamed at the top of her lungs and she tried to get away. Ronnie used his muscle strength to hold her down though. "I told you I was going to have sex with you, and I meant it! No matter how hard you try, Misty, you and I will have our sex, starting now!!" (Luckily a wolf came and bit his side, which drew away attention) Misty quickly kicked him in his shins.
"Oohh...." Ronnie grabbed his penis and balls and moaned in agonizing pain. Misty got up and with all her strength, whacked Ronnie in the face. This knocked him unconscious, and Misty used a nearby twig to cut the ropes, then dashed away from him quickly, not looking back.
(Yelola) "Have they been taken to a hospital?"
"Yes, and the doctors have given them all of the strongest medicines, but it isn't working. The toxins destroys it and moves on. So I came to you for help."
"Well, young lady, you won't give any help from me," she announced.
"Hunh? But I thought you specialized in this sort of stuff," Misty said.
"Unless you duel me," Yelola declared. "If you duel me and successfully defeat me, you'll get my help. What do you say?"
"Fine, I agree to you stupid terms. We will duel."
The elderly woman nodded and walked outside with Misty. "We will have our duel right out here." "Duel!" they both shouted, and their life points began filling up.
Misty's/Yelola's Life Points- 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Misty and Yelola stood opposite each other, preparing to duel. The cricket chirps filled the air and it was somewhat eerie outside. Misty won a game of heads or tails, and she reached down to draw her first hand. She was determined to win the duel. The fate of her sisters and John depended on her. If she didn't win this, she would never be able to help them.
[It's a good thing I went deck shopping earlier. If I hadn't, I never would've been able to take on this challenge. And with so much riding on this one duel, I cannot blow it. I have to win,] she thought to herself and looked over her five cards. "I'll play one card face-down and play another in defense mode." (she does this)
(BTW, if you've ever seen 'The Ghost of the Maiden's Peak [Season 1 of Pokemon], then picture Yelola looking and sounding like the 'old lady') "You little wench, I see what you're trying to do. You're trying to draw me into a trap, aren't you?"
"Why don't attack and find out; I could be bluffing," Misty dared her.
"Oh, no you don't. I'm not falling for this crap," Yelola responded and pulled up five cards of her own, then decided to make her move after studying them for a short while. "Hmm... I'll also play one card face-down, then play Curse of Dragon, attack mode!" she slapped down her card, bringing the roaring Curse of Dragon into battle.
ATK: 2000 DEF: 1800
"Now, let's see what you're up to. Curse of Dragon, attack with Dragon Flame!!" Curse of Dragon powered up a large fire beam in its mouth, then spit it out at Misty's defense card. It loaded in and revealed itself to be a Battle Ox. As the attack headed ever closer, Misty flipped up her trap card which was waiting.
"Ha! You fell for my trap. Mirror Force, activate now!" Misty's trap card created a magical barrier around the Battle Ox, and Yelola's attack was repelled right back toward her Curse of Dragon.
"I knew you would pull a stunt like this, that's why I also played a card face-down," she flipped up for card. "Negate attack!" The fire beam flew into the warp and dissappeared. "Ha! Stopped you in your tracks, wench."
"Stop calling me a wench!" Misty yelled, and Yelola laughed. Since it was her turn, Misty looked over her hand. Two of her cards were traps, one was a magic card, and the one monster wasn't strong enough to take down the Curse of Dragon. She drew a card from her deck and it revealed itself to be a Spirit of The Harp. This gave her an idea. "I'll play this in defense mode!" she put the card down, and the spot flashed to indicate it was on the field.
"Hmm... running scared, little girl? Curse of Dragon, destroy the Battle Ox now!" Yelola ordered. Curse of Dragon roared and spit out another large fire beam at the Battle Ox. This time it hit and Misty's monster was destroyed. But since it was in defense mode, no points were lost.
"Take that, little girl!"
Misty rolled her eyes and drew another card from her deck, in hopes of a strong one. "This is a good one. Go, Labyrinth Wall!" she slapped down her card.
"Aah! This could be bad news!" Yelola's eyes popped open as the ground began to rumble and shake. The Labyrinth Wall slowly begin rising out of the ground and the ground shook even more. Yelola's eyes remained fixed on the wall and Misty grinned. Once the Labyrinth Wall rose up and took is position, Misty pulled a card out of her hand and placed it down.
"I'll play one more card face-down and end my turn," she said and stared at Yelola. "I'm sure you know about the new rules that apply when Labyrinth Wall is played, correct?"
"I've never played on a Labyrinth field before!"
"Well, that's the best news I've heard all day," Misty said. "Okay, to make this quick, your monsters move through the maze in paces. The level of stars on your card determines how many paces you can move through the maze. Oh, and the maze is a no-flying zone, which renders your Curse of Dragon useless. Understand?"
"Very much," Yelola replied, then drew a card from her deck. "Okay, my curse of Dragon may not be able to move, but I've got other monsters, you know. Say hello to this, Garoozis, attack mode!" Garoozis snarled once it materialized into battle.
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1500 (?)
"Hmm... I'll advance my creature three paces into the maze," Yelola said. Garoozis walked through three tiles, then stopped. Misty drew another card from her deck and smiled.
"Allright, I'll play one card from my hand face-down and bring out the Red Archery Girl, in attack mode!" Misty placed down her cards and brought them into the duel. Red Archery Girl laid in her shell snickering.
ATK: 1400 DEF: 1500
"Red Archery Girl, advance 2 paces," Misty ordered. The Red Archery Girl's shell floated two spaces then stopped. Yelola drew a card from her deck and played it.
"I'll use this Monster Replace Card to exchange my Curse of Dragon for the monster in my hand with the highest attack power, and that is..." she paused until her new monster appeared on the field. "...Gaia, The Fierce Knight!" she laughed heartily.
ATK: 2300 DEF: 2000 (?)
"And Gaia does not move by flight, meaning its completely free to roam through your maze. Gaia, move in 5 paces, now!" Gaia obeyed its master and stepped forward 5 squares. It was now Misty's turn, and she reached down for a card. She drew it, then looked at it.
[Witch of The Black Forest, this is perfect. Now all I need is a polymerization card and I can fuse the witch with Spirit of the Harp to create The Musician King, one of my favorite monsters.] "I play this monster in defense mode and end my turn," Misty does this, and Yelola scoffed.
"What a waste of a turn."
"Don't be so sure about that, you don't know what I'm setting you up against," Misty retorted.
[She's right. That wench must be up to something if she keeps playing defense mode monsters. I'll figure that out later, right now, I need to concentrate on navigating my monsters out of the labyrinth and onto her side of the field. Then, I can obliterate her,] she laughed to herself, then drew a card from her deck and slapped it down. "I'll play this card face-down. Now, I know you've got some traps setup around here somewhere, so I'll make my Garoozis take the lead. Garoozis, advance 4 paces."
Garoozis walked around a corner and continued through the maze until he reached his last step, then he stopped. "Hmm... since nothing's happened, Gaia, you advance 5 spaces into this maze," Yelola spoke. Gaia tredded through the maze on his horse, following the path Garoozis took. It stepped one space ahead, and that was all needed for Misty's trap to activate.
"You went in too far, Yelola, for now I activate my face-down card, Spellbinding Circle!"
"Oh no!!" Yelola watched in surprise as a mystical star surrounded her monster and entrapped him within a blue energy field. The knight couldn't move at all. "What is this? My monster's stuck!"
"That's right, and not only is it unable to move, but its attack power has been lowered by 700 points!" Misty confirmed.
ATK: 1600
"Which leaves it vulnerable for my next move," Misty said and drew a card from her deck. It was a polymerization card. "Perfect. Now Spirit of The Harp, Witch of The Black Forest, switch to attack mode!" Misty's two monsters transitioned into attack mode, then Misty threw down the polymerization card in her hand. "And with the magic of this polymerization card, I'll fuse my monsters together to create..." Bright light swirled around the two monsters as the fusion began.
Yelola frowned at this. "Whatever you're planning, I'm sure my Garoozis can hold it off!"
When the fusion finished, there stood a new monster in its place. "Yelola, I introduce you to the Musician King!" Misty announced his presence.
ATK: 1750 DEF: 1550 (ATK, DEF ?)
"You little fool. For all your talk, your Musician King is still no match against Garoozis. I'll make it guard my knight. Garoozis, position yourself in front of Gaia, now!"
"That's all you're doing for your turn? Your loss," Misty muttered and drew another card. She smirked and slapped it down onto the card reader. "Ha! Now its time for me to add this magic card which juices up my Musician King and turns it into a lovable Heavy Metal King!" Misty shouted, and Yelola's face took a surprised facial expression. The Musician King was given a deep blue jacket (with spikes on the shoulders) to wear over his bare chest (the jacket was still open). Dark blue boots, which was also fitted with spikes, replaced the shoes on his feet, and he received an attack and defense point power boost.
ATK: 2050 DEF: 1750
"More than you bargained for, eh, Yelola?" Misty taunted. "Heavy Metal King, advance 5 spaces into the maze and attack Garoozis!" Heavy Metal King walked 5 squares as directed by Misty, and it ran right into Garoozis and the ensnared knight. "Now, Heavy Metal King, how about you play our guest here a tune," Misty smiled as her monster stroked the guitar. A rising, high-pitched tone sounded and strong sonic waves traveled right to Garoozis. The waves surrounded the monster, and it began to squirm and huddle tightly in an attempt to weather the attack. It failed, though, and the Heavy Metal King's attack made it vaporize off the field.
Yelola's Life Points- 1750
"I'd say that was a smash hit, hmm?"
"Stop teasing me, wench!" Yelola retorted and drew for a card. [I had no idea this little girl would be so formidable; I underestimated her skills and abilities in this game. I'd better take her seriously, or else she might take me down.] Yelola looked over the card she had just drawn, and it was a Flame Swordsman. "Oh, goody! I'll play this, the Flame Swordsman, in attack mode!" Flame Swordsman loaded at the start of maze and stood steadfast with its sword ready for battle.
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1500
"Flame Swordsman, advance 4 spaces." (it does this)
Misty decided it was time to play the one magic card in her hand. She pulled it up and threw it onto the card reader. "Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards from my deck instead of one." She then reached down and grabbed two cards, looked them over, and grinned. "This is perfect. I'll lay out one card face-down, and play this one (slaps it down), Remove Trap!"
Yelola's hidden trap, Graverobber, shattered. She snarled in disgust and spoke, "You stupid girl. I have to admit you are good, but I won't let you defeat me!" she drew a card from her hand and slapped it down. "I'm using the magic of Salamandra to add 700 extra attack points on my Flame Swordsman!"
ATK: 2500
"More than enough for me to destroy that wretched Heavy Metal King with. Flame Swordsman, attack with Salamandra Flame Strike!!" Flame Swordsman growled and thrusted his sword out, launching a fire dragon at the opposing monster. However, Misty was ready.
"Uh-uh, not so fast, cow! I invoke the power of De-Spell, which takes away your magic boost from your monster!"
ATK: 1800
"This is really bad!!" Yelola yelled in shock.
"Heavy Metal King, do your stuff, now!" Misty commanded. Heavy Metal King negated the oncoming Salamandra Flame Strike with his own attack, then launched the powerful sonic waves into the Flame Swordsman. The swordsman tightened in an attempt to withstand the attack just like Garoozis did, but it eventually succumbed to the attack and vaporized.
Yelola's Life Points- 1500
"It's my turn now," Misty drew a DoppleGanger card out of her deck. [Hmm... DoppleGanger. Its special power is that it can copy anything currently on the battle field. This gives me an idea.] "I'll play this card, DoppleGanger!" she slapped it onto the card reader.
"DoppleGanger? What's that?"
"DoppleGanger is a special magic card that allows me to copy anything present on the field. Hmm... I wonder what I'll do with this. There aren't many options, but I guess I'll go with Gaia the Fierce Knight," Misty declared. The DoppleGanger went to work immediately, and within seconds, a brand-new Gaia the Fierce Knight found itself on the field right beside the Heavy Metal King.
ATK: 2300 DEF: 2000 (?)
"This is extremely bad!"
"With two strong monsters like these Yelola, the odds are stacked in my favor. Gaia the Fierce knight, obliterate the other Gaia now!" Misty's knight charged toward Yelola's weakened (and ensnared) knight with its javelin spear prepped for attack. The horse ran faster, and when it approached Yelola's knight, Misty's knight stabbed it which caused to shatter violently.
Yelola's Life Points- 800
Yelola gasped and quivered in fear. "My life points! I'm trailng by a whooping 1200 points! This can't be happening!" she grabbed her hair and pulled on it.
"You shouldn't have never challenged me, old witch. I'm outwitting you at nearly every turn. Save yourself some embarrassment and concede the match."
[She's right, she is beating me. I might not be able to win this... but... I can still have the advantage over this wench.] "Okay little girl, I quit. I don't think I can win," Yelola places her hand over her deck, signifying that she was throwing in the towel.
Misty powered down her system and collected all her cards, stacking them in the deck. "Guess you realized that you're not such a hotshot duelist after all, hmm? Better late than never," Misty quipped while she stored her deck and her now converted Holochip into her device. Yelola does the same; she stared deeply into Misty's eyes and smiled.
"What are you looking at?" Misty wondered, then shrugged it off. "Whatever. Now, I've completed your task. I beat you fair and square in a duel, so now its time for you to hold up your end of the bargain and research the virus."
"Do you have the virus with you?" Yelola asked, and Misty nodded in response. She reached into her skirt pocket and pulled it out, then handed it to the woman. Yelola looked at it carefully. "Well, I must say this is truely interesting. I've never seen such a strange liquid before in my entire life."
"What do you make of it? Can you do something?"
"I believe I can, but I won't."
"Hunh? What do you mean you won't?"
"That's just what I mean. I won't!"
Misty scowled at Yelola. She began to fill up with anger, again. "You specifically told me if I beat you in a duel you would began researching the virus!"
"For a price," she stated.
"What?!"
"I said I would help you, but for a price."
"You didn't say anything about paying a price for your help," Misty said, but Yelola shook her head. "On the contrary, miss. I did say you had to pay me to get my help. I guess you didn't hear me," she smiled and pissed Misty off even more.
"You old wench!! You never said anything about a price!!!"
"Yes, I did!! To quote my exact words, I said: '"If you duel me and successfully defeat me, you'll get my help (voice changed to extremely light whisper) for a price. What do you say?' See, I did tell you what I said, you were just too dense to comprehend it," she giggled.
That did it. Misty raised her fist in the air and whacked Yelola straight in the face. "You take that price tag and shove it all up your crack!! Research this virus now!" she ordered, but Yelola suddenly darted inside the house. "Hey, get back here!" Misty gave chase, but once she reached the doorway, Yelola had grabbed her Phased Energy Rifle and prepped it for firing. She pointed it straight at Misty's head.
"Listen up, little girl, hit me again or try to make me do something your way and I'll disintegrate that head of yours. We're gonna do this my way, got it?!"
Misty put her hands up in the air and backed down. She nodded, and Yelola lowered the gun. "Okay, good. Now, in order to get my help, you have to pay me.... hmm... 3 million dollars!!" she spit out and caught Misty by surprise.
"What?! 3 million?! I don't have that kind of money in my possession!"
"Well then, I guess you won't get any help. I don't have any job, and I need to make money."
"So, you don't care if the lives of 4 people are at stake? They're dying for all you know, and you won't even try to save them."
"So what if they're dying?" Yelola spoke out, and Misty looked at her in disbelief. "I, and even you, deal with this every day. I watch television, and I see those commercials up there talking about staring children and how you can help if you call in and donate some of your money. They try to get you to feel sorry for them, but I don't. I don't know those kids, I don't help them out. And I don't know these... 'people' just as much as I don't know those kids on television. So, pay me the money or get out of my face!" Yelola gave Misty an ugly glare.
Misty stared at Yelola angrily, then spoke, "I may not have the money right now, but I'll be back. In the meantime, research the virus and see what you can find."
"Look at you, you wench, you're still barking orders. I'm not gonna even research this virus until you show me the money."
"But... you should already be researching the virus so when I come back with the money, the cure can be almost, if not complete. What's the use in doing nothing?"
"I'm quite sure if I get the cure now you'll try to steal it from me and rob me of my money. I can't risk that. Pay me the 3 million dollars and I'll start researching the virus, and once I find something, I'll contact you. Now, go away," Yelola pointed the powered rifle at Misty, and she walked off the property fuming with anger. Yelola laughed and closed the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
The following morning (around 7:30 AM), Surge and his gang of friends had been released by Robert on a technicality. This was much to Robert's dismay, but he couldn't risk Surge going after his own mother, so he turned him loose. Surge was also given back his dueling deck, but they were without the dragons. Surge was determined to track down Tristan and beat the crap out of him until he gave him the cards back. But was Tristan at home? While he was planning to steal the cards, Surge had watched Tristan to try and learn his pattern of life, and most Friday mornings Tristan was never at home, so where could he be? Maybe he was at his friend Brock's house? Or he could've been somewhere else; he really couldn't know. Surge and the gang walked up to the cottage in which Surge resided in. Surge opened the door and walked inside, and they followed him in. Jason fell out on the couch and sighed.
"Ohh... I don't think this sofa's ever felt so welcoming," he sighed again in relaxation. Vicki sunk down into one of the leather chairs.
"I know what you mean, this feels so good, especially after sitting around on those hard jail benches. You'd think since they were keeping you for such a while they'd put in some comfortable seating or something."
Surge clapped his hands twice to get their attention. "This isn't the time for us to just be sitting around. We've gotta mission to do. Tristan has my cards, and I want them back," he said and pounded his fist into his hand.
Jason sat up. "Boss, c'mon. We've been couped up in that jail cell for so long. Let's get some rest and go after Tristan later," he suggested and Surge stomped his foot.
"NO! Tristan took my Gamma Dragons from me and I.. want.. them.. back! No one bullies Surge Crusher like this! NO ONE!!"
"Boss, chill out," Vicki quipped. "We'll get back your dragons. First off, we have to find Tristan before we can do anything. Just take it easy, okay? We'll get Tristan, but in the mean time, take a little R&R time, allright? It might do you some good."
"Okay... I guess," Surge replied and sat down in the chair next to Vicki. "I've only got about a day left to register, right?"
"Yeah, boss," Jason spoke up. "You have three days to register. Around Saturday at 1600 hours, it closes down. So, you've got plenty of time."
"Yes, I see," Surge muttered and got out of the chair, then headed back to his bedroom. "I'll be in the bedroom for a while relaxing in the tub and practicing my Martial Arts. Don't disturb me!" he stated firmly then went inside the room and closed the door. Inside the room, Surge took a seat on his bed and pulled off his shoes. He yawned and stretched, then laid back on it. All it took was a good threat to make that dickhead father of his back down. Robert had many girlfriends before, but Debbie Crusher was Robert's first and only true love and he was very protective of her. Robert wanted nothing awful to happen to Debbie, and Surge used that as an advantage point to get his way. Gullible fool. Surge couldn't even bring himself to kill his mother, but he believed it anyway. Then again, he could. Probably would be fun to watch, and it would serve her right for disciplining him as a child... Surge sat up and pulled off his shirt and pants, leaving his boxers as his only article of clothing. He went to the adjoining bathroom and walked over to his tub. He turned in on and while it filled up, Surge went back into the room and flopped down on the bed. He grabbed his portable computer (think of a Gameboy Advance with a small keyboard attached to it) off the nightstand and lay back across the bed on his abdomen. He activated the computer and pressed on all the buttons to navigate his way to the online service. After speaking his password, the computer logged on to the virutal internet and he checked the current list of duelists who would be participating. Scrolling down the list, Surge searched carefully for Tristan Taylor in the list, and he found it. So, the little punk was going to try his luck in the tournament, eh? And he was sure he was gonna use the Gamma Dragons too. Surge decided to register for the tournament in order to keep track of Tristan. After doing that, he checked for any e-mail but nothing was there. Then, he logged off, deactivated the computer and sat in back down on the nightstand. He got up and went into the bathroom to find the tub now filled with water. Turning off the faucet, Surge pulled off the boxers and stepped into the warm water. He pressed a button on the faucet and some bubbles began flowing into the tub. Surge then sunk down into the warm massage and sighed. He rested his head back on the tub and let the small, focused beam cleanse his body of dirt. He was going to get his cards back, and Tristan was going down...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Meanwhile, out in the forest, Ronnie had fallen asleep for the rest of the night after Misty knocked him unconscious. He was still naked from last night. The sun's bright rays of light shone down in his face and he began stirring into consciousness. "Ohh.. oh..." he moaned as his eyes slowly began to open. The sun's rays greeted them though, and he quickly shielded his eyes with his bare arm. Ronnie was a little annoyed as he murmered and turned around to get his face out of the sun's path, then he sat up and rubbed his hands through his wild hair and sighed heavily. Everything from yesterday was coming back to him... he remebered just watching Misty closely at first, then as the day turned into night, he revealed himself to her and tried to sleep with her. But Misty refused. Why? What did he ever do to her? Why was she so scared of sex? It was normal for teenagers to make hot love to each other, so why was she repelled by it? Ronnie remebered trying to force himself on her, and he had her, but some stray wolf bit him in his side which gave Misty the chance to kick him in his privates and get away. Ronnie looked over at the bite. It was a deep wound at first, but overnight it became a little bruise... Ronnie then groped his privates to see if they were still intact. Misty kicked them pretty hard, but they were still there. Ronnie slowly stood up from the ground and wandered out of the bushes he was lying in. The motor scooter was still sitting there running, and fortunately for him, it still had a considerable amount of gas inside. Ronnie mounted it and sped off, heading back toward Wilderness Road.
"Oh, Misty, why did you have to make things so hard? Everything would be much, much simpler if you would just give me some good sex! Don't think this is over yet, it's just beginning..." Ronnie's voice trailed off as he sped straight toward the city...

At the Kaiba estate, Mokuba was enjoying this lovely morning in the theme park. He threw his hands up in the air and screeched as the roller coaster thundered down the track at fast speeds. His brother Seto was upstairs on the master bedroom's balcony. He sat down at the table outside and began looking through some papers. With the extra funds, he was now digging his way out of the hole and back on top. Seto smirked with pride. It was all going just as he predicted, and now with those sisters and that John guy silenced because of the virus, he wouldn't get discovered by the cops. Seto had to admit, he didn't want to inject the virus into the trio because they were Misty's sisters, but it had to be done. Seto just hoped Misty never found out. It would ruin their friendship with each other and she'd most likely try to kill him. Hopefully, they wouldn't come to such blows. Seto worked on the papers for about 40 minutes, then he stood and took them into the house. He sat them down on his nightstand and walked over to a mirror.
"Hmm... I'm just not satisfied with this outfit," he said to himself and walked back over to his dresser. He pulled out some khaki slacks and a black silk shirt, then slipped them on. Stuffing his other outfit into the dresser, Seto closed it back up and put on some black shoes to go with the outfit. A nearby butler knocked on the door.
"Mr. Kaiba? Pardon me for disturbing, but there is someone outside who wishes to see you," he spoke in a thick, British accent. "Shall I send her in, sir?"
"No, it's okay. I'll meet whoever it is downstairs," Seto replied and walked out of the bedroom. He had a pretty good idea of who this 'visitor' could be, but his intuition could be wrong. After setting his coordinates, Seto stepped on the teleporter tile and was taken downstairs. After he reappeared on the tile, the young man stepped off and walked up to the large door. He reached out and opened it, and to his surprise, it was Misty.
"Hello, Seto," she greeted.
Seto was a bit nervous around her, but he kept it well hidden. "Misty, what's up?" he responded and stepped outside to where she was. "Um, how are you?"
"Oh, well, I've been better," she told him, and Seto knew why. She was probably worried about her sisters little 'incident'. "How are you doing?" Misty asked him, and he shrugged.
"Oh, I'm fine. Never been better. (slight pause) Hey, you wanna go around to the back? Possibly enjoy a soak?"
"A soak in what?" Misty wondered, and Seto shook his head. "Oh, never mind, forget it. But how about we go around to the back and have a little talk?" Seto really didn't want to do this, but he had to keep acting normal. Misty decided to take his offer and they headed around the huge house. They walked quite a while before they reached the enormous backyard of the mansion. Seto walked up to a table and scooted out a chair for Misty to sit in. Misty sat down and Seto took a seat beside her.
"So, what's going on in your life, Misty? Are you going to participate in this Duel Monsters championship?"
"I don't know, probably not. I mean, there's just so much stuff going on in my life, and I don't think I can take it."
"What's happening?" Seto pretended to be curious, but he knew what was wrong. She was saddened about her sisters.
"Seto, I need to ask you something," Misty said.
"What?"
"Um... I really don't know how to say this... I guess I'll just cut to the chase," she paused for a slight moment. "Seto, I need your help."
"..With what?"
"I need you to loan me some money for something."
Seto shifted his position in the chair. "Money for what?"
Misty cleared her throat before continuing. "Could you loan me 3 million dollars, in cash, please?"
"3 million dollars?!" Seto was slightly surprised. "What the heck do you need 3 million dollars for?"
"I uh... I need it to save my sisters. Some kind of terrible virus has infected their systems, and uh, the doctors has tried everything they can, but nothing's working. The virus, it has disabled their immune system, by that I mean it's turned the immune system against the body, and I need help. Someone who is an expert at this type of stuff can help, but she wants be to paid 3 million dollars, and that's why I need it," she announced, and Seto froze. Oh no, what was he going to do? If he gave her the money, her sisters would tell. But if he didn't give it to her, she would be mad, and possibly suspicious. Misty know he has more than enough money, and if he doesn't give it to her, she'll probably start snooping around. But... maybe he could cover it up somehow, like say he's having finacial troubles. It was the only idea that came to Seto's mind, after all, that was why he jumped John in the first place; he just didn't expect Daisy to butt in and get herself stabbed.
"Uh, Seto, will you loan me the money?"she asked again to get his attention.
"Um, Misty I hate to tell you this, but I don't think I can. See, I'm having finacial troubles."
"Finacial troubles? Seto, I know you make over 700 million dollars a year, how can you be having finacial troubles? Look at everything you have: this colossal mansion, a massive amusement park in your backyard, a lake for a swimming pool, golden patios, personal arcades, sprawling game rooms, that weightless simulation technology is installed all over the estate, must I go on? You've got everything a person would ever dream of at your disposal at all times, and yet you can't give me 3 million dollars?"
"If you would just listen to me, I assure you, you'd understand. See, someone robbed my house and took the majority of my money out of my vault. Fortunately, the Holochips are still selling really strong, so my funds are slowly building back up. But right now, I don't think I can afford to give away any money."
Misty scoffed and sighed. "I can't believe this. Seto, I thought we were friends. You're able to pay for all this stuff but you can't loan me 3 million dollars? And especially when its to save someone's life?"
"Misty, I told you what happened. I can't risk it. I may have all this stuff, but it does not come for free. I have bills to pay, and don't forget about Mokuba. I have to feed him; I have to buy him clothes, and take care of him in general. But I can't do that without money. Now, I'm sorry, okay? But, I don't have enough money. If I did, I'd give it to you with haste, but unfortunately, circumstances has conspired against me and now I don't," Seto told her.
Misty seemed to accept this information. "Allright, I understand. Are you sure you can't give me 3 million dollars? Their lives depend on me getting that money," Misty tried once more, but Seto shook his head.
"I'm really sorry, but I don't have any money to spare."
Misty got up from the chair and started to walk away. "Thanks, even though you couldn't give me anything. I guess I'd better be going now."
"So soon? Don't you wanna stay for a little while? I heard that Aya was going to be coming over this afternoon, sure you don't want to hang around for a while? We could eat lunch together, or something," Seto offered, but Misty rejected.
"Sorry, but I've got some business to take care of. Maybe later," she said and walked off. Seto sighed heavily and ran his fingers through his hair. He was actually glad Misty was leaving. He was so nervous around her, mainly because of what he did to her sisters. Maybe he shouldn't have done that. He should've just let them go and tried to convince them not to tell. Seto knew they weren't going to do that though, which is exactly why those four was injected with the virus. It was done now, and he couldn't start second-guessing himself. Seto got out of the chair and walked into the house. Although he was getting his funds back, he still wasn't anywhere near what he used to have. Which was why he was planning to take over his neighbor company, Industrial Illusions. Sure, they may have been collaborating, but if he managed to take out Pegasus and take over the company, he would be even richer than ever before. He would be super filthy rich! He would have so much money at his disposal that he could spend money build a house out of money. With all that cash flowing in, Seto would never have to worry about anything anymore. It wouldn't be an easy thing to do at all, but it wasn't impossible. That was his next plan: taking over Industrial Illusions.

It was a shady morning in Pallet Town, and people walked about doing their daily business. At Ash's house, everything looked quite calm. The lights in his house were out, and no one was in the backyard. It was quite desolate. Suddenly, a cluster of green energy shot a symbol hanging from a tree and destroyed it. Ash was off in the forest (behind his house) getting some long range target practice. He reloaded the gun with new ammunition and aimed for another target. This target was a pole which was farther away than the last one. He eyed the target carefully, to make sure that what he was aiming at was the actual thing. Suddenly, his eyesight honed in on the object.
"What the..." Ash was shocked. "How is... this possible..." he wondered. He could see the target perfectly now, because his eyesight had zoomed in on it. Ash closed his eyes, then opened them back up to find that they returned to normal. What had just happened to him? He didn't have any binoculars, yet he could see as far as one. Maybe Pegasus was right, maybe he did have some kind of special powers. But how would it be possible? Delia never had any powers, as far as he knew. He knew nothing of his father though, perhaps that was where we got them from? Ash had no idea. He sighed and decided to try it again. He squinted his eyes and focused on the pole, hoping he could do it. However, this time around, a bolt of lightning came from the sky and struck the pole down. Ash gasped in shock. That was no coincedence, either. There wasn't any thunderstorm going on, and Ash knew it was him who channeled the lightning down to the pole, but how could he do all this? There was so much about this mystical side of him that he didn't understand. He needed to know more, but that was the least of his worries. Ash was bent on killing Pegasus and avenging his mother's death. Pegasus had done too much to just be let off freely. He had to be punished.
"But if I can learn to control my secret powers, perhaps taking Pegasus down will be a much easier task. I need to know more, but where can I learn? No one's here to teach me how to control my powers," Ash slipped the gun into his pocket and walked back toward his house.
"Ash..." a voice called to him. Ash whirled around and his mother stood in front of him. After what happened last time, Ash knew that this was a trick from Pegasus.
"Pegasus, I know that's you under that disguise!" he shouted, but Delia shook her head. "No honey, it's me. It's really me, your mother. I've come back for you, Ash."
Ash would not believe this. "No! Get away from me! You're nothing but a fake, a delusion, a psychic trick! Stay away from me!"
"Ash, no! It is really me, Delia Ketchum, your mom whom you adore. Don't be afraid, Ash. Don't run away. You don't have to worry; I won't hurt you. Please, come to me. I've been resurrected..."
"How? No one just gets up and walk away from their grave. How did it happen?!" Ash demanded to know, and Delia shook her head in response.
"I honestly don't know, Ash. The last thing I remeber is being killed by Pegasus, then I woke up outside of my grave. I know I must've been dead for a long time, because you've grown..." she approached Ash to rub his face, but he backed away. "I understand why you're scared. (pause) Look at how much you've grown, you've become my little man."
"Get away from me!!" he whipped out the Plasma Blaster and shot at Delia's abdomen, but her body opened up to allow the blast to go through to the other side, then it closed. "I knew you were just a deception from Pegasus."
"Ash, you ever wonder where you get your powers from? You got them from me; I just never used them in front of you because I wanted you to grow up and be a normal kid. You can open up like that to avoid shots, too, you just have to try," she said gently. Ash didn't know what to believe. She sounded and acted just like Delia used to act, but was she Delia? Or was it another of Pegasus' deceptions? Pegasus have sent quite a few tricks, which made it nearly impossible to tell.
"Mother... is it.. really you?" Ash inquired, and Delia nodded. "Yes, honey, it is me. Come now, let us join together and take down Pegasus," she extended her hand to him, then suddenly tackled him to the ground. "Ooh... baby, look at how manly you've become!" she laughed wickedly, then said, "Ooh, let me check your privates! After all, it's been one year, let me check your groin and balls and see how much they've developed. By now, they should be big and juicy, oh!" she tried to force her hand down into his pants, but Ash quickly snatched her hands away from his areas and punched her in the face twice. Then he mustered all his strength, uppercutted Delia in the stomach and sent her soaring into the air. She landed on a tree so hard that she broke the branches and made them come crashing down with her. Delia slowly stood back up, then she morphed into Pegasus.
"This is not over, Ashy boy. The final showdown have yet to begin..." And with that he dissappeared. Ash's hands shook violently as he stood there. He was boiling over with anger and rage. He wanted to kill Pegasus so badly. [First, Pegasus kills her, now he's playing all these sick mind games with me and trying to give my dear mother a bad, perverted image.] Ash noticed how high he sent Pegasus into the air and began to wonder if it had something to do with his mysterious powers. If he only knew how to tap into these powers, then Pegasus would've died right then and there. Ash stormed away toward his house.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
After Flint's approval, Brock decided to have a sleepover at Tristan's house. He was still there right now, and they both sat in Tristan's bed playing a video game of the fighting genre. Brock landed a power punch in Tristan's character and knocked him out.
"Ha, ha! I win, you lose!" he exclaimed and grinned. Tristan tried to make an excuse of why he lost.
"No, no, you cheated. You must've set my fighter to be less resistent to punches."
"I did no such thing!"
"Yes, you did, or else you wouldn't won," Tristan said, and Brock pushed him down on the bed playfully. "Stop being such a baby and admit that you lost."
"I won't admit to that, because you cheated," Tristan suddenly grabbed Brock's shirt and pulled him down on the bed too; then both of them began fake wrestling.
"Why don't you just admit that you cheated?" Tristan asked.
"I told you, I didn't cheat," Brock argued. Tristan shrugged and stop wrestling. "Ah, whatever. So, you up for a duel? You got lucky last time, but this time I'll beat you."
Brock sighed. "Sorry, Tristan. I'm currently modifying my deck and I'm positive that it's not in dueling condition."
"Oh, c'mon man. Just one little duel?" Tristan begged, but Brock refused.
"I can't right now. My deck is way outta line. I'm trying to get it perfect for the championship..." a loud thud could be hear downstairs.
"Grandma?!" Tristan jumped off the bed and darted downstairs to find his grandmother unconscious on the floor. "Grandma, Grandma!" Tristan rushed over and kneeled down beside her. "Grandmother?!" he shook her gently, and Brock raced down the stairs to see what was going on.
"Tristan? What happened?"
"I don't know, she must've tripped and fell," Tristan said.
"Or maybe... (a punch noise sounded, thud was heard) someone knocked her unconscious. Ever think of that?" a deep voice sounded. Tristan turned to around to see Brock lying on the floor, and Surge stood beside him holding a wooden pole.
"Surge?! What the..."
"Hello, Tristan!" Surge greeted. "Long time no see, eh?"
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in jail!" Tristan yelled while standing up.
"Supposed to be... but I'm not. The sheriff let me off on a technicality, Tristan. After I got to him and had a nice 'talk' to him, he let me and my lackies out."
"What did you do to my Grandma?!" Tristan demanded to know.
"Oh, I tried to be nice. I came in and she ran after me with this pole, here. The chase didn't last long though. I took it from her and whacked that old cow upside the head," Surge spoke and smiled sinsterly. "She's got a lot of spunk, though, you know, for an old lady. It almost saddened me to hit her, almost."
"You punk, get out of my house, now!"
Surge laughed and said, "You really think I'm gonna do that just because you ordered me to? (laughs) You must think I'm a fool or something! Now... enough chitchat. Let's jump to the chase," Surge slowly approached Tristan, still grasping the pole in his hands. "Tristan, you caused me to get locked up, my Gamma Dragon cards were taken from me, and that just doesn't sit well with me, you know? No one's ever made a fool of me and lived to tell the story."
"Guess I'll be the first," Tristan retorted and Surge swung the pole at him. Tristan barely managed to catch it and snatched it away from him. He threw it aside and punched at Surge. Surge ducked the punch and kicked Tristan in the stomach, then delivered two punches to his face. Tristan evaded Surge's roundhouse kick and spin kick Surge in the face. Both of them took fighting stances and stared each other down.
"You're gonna pay..." Surge said and went on the offense. He threw five jabs at Tristan, all of which Tristan dodged. Surge caught Tristan's face on the 6th punch and tried punching him again. Tristan ducked it and kicked Surge in the chest, then punched him three times in the stomach and tried spin kicking Surge's face. Surge caught his foot and rammed Tristan into the nearby wall, shattering the mirror on it with Tristan. He tossed Tristan to the ground and tried punching down on Tristan's chest. Surge's fist met Tristan's shoe though, and Surge snatched his hand away. Tristan flipped to his feet and ducked a vicious punch from Surge, then grabbed him and kneed him in the stomach twice, then kicked him right on the forehead, causing Surge to stumble back into a nightstand filled with two glass flower vases and break them. Tristan wasted no time and kicked Surge again, then punched his face. Surge blocked Tristan next punch and elbowed his abdomen, then grabbed him and threw him over to the stairwell. Tristan fell back down the stairs, and Surge snatched him up by his hair and rammed his head into the wall. Tristan dug his hands into Surge's arm and scratched as hard as could (Surge screamed), making Surge release him. He then uppercutted Surge and sent him crashing into the wooden table, which broke upon impact.

Morty Jenkins walked up the steps to his townhouse. Jasmine had just left his home after spending the night over, and he was looking forward to tomorrow, because he was supposed to meet Jasmine at a health spa downtown to have some rest and relaxation (along with fun). He adjusted the Millenium Key on his neck and continued up the last few steps. His face had a huge smile on it as he entered the townhouse. It wasn't big; the only rooms in it were a living room, a small kitchen, and a bedroom and bathroom. He walked inside and shut the door behind him. He sighed and switched on the light. Then, a sedative stuck down into his neck, rendering him unconscious. Kemo pulled out a cell phone and called 'Master' Pegasus.
"Yes?" Pegasus' voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Master Pegasus, we have the guy. Should we bring him to the estate?"
"No. Take Morty and fly over to the palace at Crystal Kingdom, then lock him away in the underground dungeon chambers. After all, the palace is to be my home for the next few months," Pegasus told Kemo, and he nodded.
"As you wish, Master Pegasus. Morty will be transported immediately," he said and clicked the phone off. "Allright, troops, round him up and take him to the helicopter," he ordered and the troops did not object. Part 1 was Pegasus' plan was in effect.

At the mansion off the coast of Cinnabar Island, a small aircraft, much like a shuttle from Star Trek, was rising off a launch pad. Inside it was the girl. She looked out of a window while sipping a glass of fruit punch. Her destination was Domino City, and there she was going to see Maximillion Pegasus once again. She really missed him; Pegasus was always good to her and kind too. They used to share so many good times together, and she loved to wake up the next morning after a hot night together and brush his platinum hair. She was determined to win back his love. Ever since that tramp Cecilia had introduced herself into his life, they grew distant. But now she was going to make sure she'd get him back, especially now that Cecilia was dead. A servant approached her holding a plate of glasses (with fruit punch in them).
"Princess Sakura, would you like some more punch?"
"No, thank you," Sakura replied and took another sip from the glass of punch. "How far are we from Pegasus's mansion?"
"Uh, exactly 4 hours," the servant answered, then walked away. Sakura smiled and sipped some more of the fruit punch. In exactly 4 hours, she would reunite with the love of her life and nothing would separate them. With Cecilia dead, their love would be eternal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Tristan and Surge continued fighting on. Surge rammed into Tristan and pushed him back into the kitchen. Surge pushed Tristan onto the counter and knocked all sorts of pans off on the floor. He gripped Tristan's throat.
"Where are the cards?! Tell me!" he ordered. Tristan reacted quickly and dug his finger into Surge's eye. "AHH!!!" he screamed and let his grip go to rub his eye.
"I'm not telling you anything," Tristan said and kicked Surge's face. He grabbed a pan from the floor and swung at Surge with it, but Surge ducked and tried punching Tristan. Tristan dodged the punch and popped Surge's chin with the pan, then whacked him in the face. Surge grabbed the pan the next time Tristan tried hitting him and snatched it away. He kicked Tristan in the stomach and roundhouse kicked his face afterwards, knocking Tristan to the ground. Surge snatched Tristan up by his collar and jabbed him in the jaw, then punched his three times and tried kicking him. Tristan managed to grab Surge's foot and fling him around onto the base of a center island. Tristan snatched Surge up by his hair and hit him twice. Surge pushed away from Tristan and snatched one of the drawers on the countertops (it was full of dinnerware, which clashed on the floor) open and chucked it at Tristan's head. Tristan ducked, then dodged the numerous forks Surge tossed at him. Tristan then tackled Surge onto the ground and punched him in his face repeatedly, but Surge stopped him by jabbing his stomach. Shoving him off, Surge stood and yanked out another shelf and dropped it at Tristan. Tristan rolled out of the way and stood, taking a fighting stance. Both of them went at each other with all they had. Surge threw six punches at Tristan, and Tristan blocked them all, then punched Surge in the nose. He kicked at Surge, but Surge ducked and kneed Tristan in the stomach. He grabbed and rammed him into the nearby countertop stacked with glass dishes. Surge pulled a butcher knife out of the sink and tried to cut Tristan's throat with it, but of course, Tristan resisted. They pushed with all their might, trying to achieve their objectives. Surge's was to cut Tristan; Tristan's was to get the knife away. Tristan stomped on Surge foot as hard as could, making Surge drop the knife. He picked up Surge and threw him onto the counter, and Surge fell onto the dishes and made them fall onto the floor with him and break. Surge slowly got up, and looked at Tristan. Both of them were full of bruises and breathing heavily.
"This isn't over, Tristan, I will be back!" Surge said and darted out of the back door. Tristan was about ready to drop down onto the floor and pass out, but he didn't. He limped into the living room where Munella and Brock lay unconscious on the ground. Munella began to stir.
"Grandma, Grandmother!" Tristan approached her. She moaned and sat up, then looked over at him.
"Oh, dear, look at you! You look terrible!" she exclaimed and rubbed her hand across Tristan's numerous facial bruises.
"Oh, what happened?" Brock murmered as he began coming to. He got up and looked around. "Boy, this house sure is a mess," he commented.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Tristan inquired, and she nodded.
"Quite fine, actually. A little shook up and the back of my head is throbbing, but other than that I'm right as rain, whatever that means. You, however, look like you've had a far worse time. How are you?"
"I've been a whole lot better," Tristan answered. Munella looked over at Brock and said, "Hey, dear, go into the bathroom and get the Dermal Regenerator (a small device which heals and regenerates all skin tissues and stuff) for me."
"Yes, ma'am," Brock acknowledged and walked off in order to get the item. Tristan sighed and looked around the ramsacked house. "Man, me and Surge really tore this place up."
"I thought you said Surge was in jail," chimed Munella.
"Me too, but he told me he'd been released on a 'technicality'."
Munella stood up and looked around the house. "My, my, this place is a mess. You and Surge must've gotten into a scuffle?"
"Yep, he tried to beat me up and take the Gamma Dragons, but I defended myself quite well," Tristan told her as Brock came rushing back into the room with the Dermal Regenerator. He handed to Munella, who turned it on and held it up to Tristan's face. A small, green beam flowed out of the device and began to heal and rebuild Tristan's bruised skin.
"What happened?" Brock wondered aloud. "One moment I'm rushing down he stairs to see what was going on, next moment I get hit over the head and I black out."
"It was Surge," Tristan told him, and Brock gasped. "Surge, but how? I thought he was in jail!"
"So did I, but he showed his face here and tried to take my cards. That's what happened to my Grandmother and to you; Surge came and knocked both of you out, then we got into a scuffle. Obviously, I won because I still have my cards and Surge is gone."
"There you go, all fixed up," Munella said and put away the skin device. Tristan rubbed his hand across his smooth face and sighed. The bruises were gone, and so was the pain. Brock decided to help Munella fix her house back up, and Tristan walked upstairs to get a small shower and change his clothes. Entering his room, he closed the door behind him and sighed. What was he going to do? As long as Surge was out of jail, he and anyone else who were close to him was in potential trouble. Should he just give Surge the cards? Tristan rejected that idea. He wasn't a quitter or a chicken. If Surge wanted to resort to violence over the cards, then he could bring it on. Tristan was sure he could take anything Surge threw at him. He walked off into the bathroom and closed the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Li and Meilin had decided not to go to Tristan or Brock's house and pay them a visit that way. They were going to surprise them instead. Li and Meilin spent the night at a small motel on the outskirts of downtown Pewter City, and were now planning how they were going to show up. Li shook his head at one of Meilin's ideas.
"No, no! That totally sucks! There's no way they're going to like that!"
Meilin scoffed. "Fine, whatever. You got any ideas?" she asked him while combing her pigtails. Li laid across the bed thinking for a while.
"Hey, I think I got an idea."
"What?"
"Well, you know there's a new Duel Monsters tournament about to start, right? I took a list at all the current players registered for it, and both of their names were on the list. So, we could just surprise them on the cruise ship when it set sail," Li suggested.
"But, we're not even in this thing. There's no way we could sneak past security and get aboard the boat," Meilin pointed out.
"Which is exactly why I'm gonna enter that tournament."
"You're going to enter a tournament just to surprise two boys? If you've noticed, it costs $15.00 to register for it..."
"But I want to enter the championship anyway. I've been refining my deck ever since the game first came out, and now I'm a master at it. I could win the 100 million dollar prize! Or, at least the 50 or 75 million dollar prize!"
"Li, just because you're good at the game doesn't mean you'll automatically win. Sure, you may trounce the duelists in the sub-competition, but once the 2 months are over and the real championship begins, it is only going to be elite duelists there. Who knows, it could be some better than you, after all, you're not the best duelist alive," Meilin said.
"I'm good enough. On a scale of 1 out of 10, 9.9 out of the 10 duels I play I tend to win. And the duelists I duel are really good, too."
Meilin scoffed again. "If anyone should enter the tournament to win the prize money, it should be me. I kick your crack every time we duel," she remarked.
"Nuh-uh! I beat you the majority of the time!" Li retorted, and Meilin giggled. "If you add 'who loses the most' as a category, you surely trounce me in that department," she said and giggled some more.
"Allright, then. Let's duel and see who shall win!" Li declared, but Meilin held up her pigtail in his face.
"Li, I'm doing my hair. Maybe later."
"You're just afraid of losing."
"Oh please! What would I be afraid of! I kick your butt every time we play Duel Monsters!"
"No, you don't!" Li retorted, but Meilin just laughed in response. "Li, you know that every time we play, I trounce you. Admit it."
"Okay, well maybe you do, but that's only because I go easy on you."
"Please! I can tell by the way your face look when you're dueling that you give it your all. Stop making excuses. Now, forget about who wins this and who wins that," she said and sat down on the bed next to Li. "I'm tired of waiting. Li, we're madly in love and I think it's time to move our relationship to the next level."
"Meaning?" Li inquired, as he had no idea of what Meilin was talking about.
"I mean, I think it's time we shared out first intimate moment. What do you say?"
"Whoa!" Li jumped back. "Meilin! You know we're too young for that. We're barely 15 years-old! You can't seriously be thinking about sex!"
"Li, c'mon, you know you wanna ravage me. So, let's do it. Let's take a chance and do something wild. We've kissed, we've played outside naked, we've swam butt naked before, we've slept naked, we've even slept naked underwater, but we have never have sex before. C'mon, let's do it. Haven't you ever wondered what it was like?" Meilin questioned him, then pulled down her shirt to show her breasts, which tempted Li even further. He thought about it over and over, and without further ado, he jumped on Meilin, which made her giggle.
"Allright, let's do it," he muttered and they began kissing ravenously while tearing through each other's clothings. Li pulled off Meilin's top and Meilin ripped Li's shirt off of him. They continued kissing wildly and passionately. Li tore Meilin's bra off her chest, then began taking off his pants. Then, Meilin pulled off his boxers and Li pulled off her panties. Then they began to kiss each other more ravenously than before, and within moments, hot sex ensued...

Press on to Episode 07 to see the rest of what happens (not the sex either!).
Disclaimer: I don't own characters from Yu-gi-oh, Cardcaptors or Pokemon. I'm simply borrowing them for my fanfic. These cartoons belong to 4 Kids Entertainment, Kids Wb, and whoever else.
P.S. In Episode 02, I had Maximillion Pegasus shipping out a lot of cards because I didn't know many duel monsters cards. But I have found quite a reliable source so I won't be doing much of this anymore, but I may keep one or two.

Duelists of The Future- Season 1- Episode 06, 'Circumstances' (1/15/2003)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
Previously...
*Aya...* "Hi! Morty, how are you? Remeber me, Aya Kristina Corrington?"
"Oh, what's up Aya?" Morty (Jenkins) greeted her kindly. His height was around 5'10. His golden blonde hair was brushed into lots of wild plats. He had deep, ocean blue eyes that Aya deemed 'enchanting and mesmerizing'. Out of nowhere, a young woman around the age of 18 approached Morty. She was wearing a white dress and matching sandals. Her pastel pink hair was pulled back into a high ponytail (the ponytail was crinkled).
"Who is this?" she wondered.
"Oh, uh, this is my friend, Aya Corrington. Aya, I'd like for you to meet my lovely girlfriend Jasmine Cortez. (the Olivine City gym leader)"
"Hi, nice to meet you," Jasmine extended her hand out toward Aya.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Meilin Rae/ Li Showron...* Meilin and Li stepped off the boat. They looked around at their surroundings and sighed.
"Well, we're finally here. C"mon, let's go find Tristan and Brock," Li said to Meilin. Meilin nodded and they headed into the city.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Ash Ketchum...* Without warning, the earth suddenly began to shake. Ash wondered what was going on as the earth continued to shake. It wasn't bad, but it was bad enough to knock down a few things inside buildings. Then, it stopped. Just as quickly as it came it went away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Seto Kaiba...* "Mr. Kaiba, he's there, in the parking garage," the doctor announced.
"Good, now do your part..." Seto smirked and deactived his communicator.
"Seto Kaiba? What are you doing here, leave me alone!" John ordered as he picked himself up off the ground.
"I don't think that's possible," Seto spoke sinisterly. "See, you're trying to get me busted for jumping you and stabbing your nosy girlfriend, and that's just not acceptible."
Seto ducked John's next punch and grabbed his shoulders. He pulled him closer and kneed him in the abdomen, then mustered all his strength and uppercutted John in the chin, which knocked John into a nearby windshield of a car. Seto snatched him off and banged his head into the hood of the car, then roundhouse kicked him with all his might, which rendered John unconscious.
In the parking garage, Seto had administered the solution into John's system. He dropped John's body down on the ground and walked away with a smirk on his face. "That oughta teach them not to mess with Seto Kaiba," he chuckled and continued walking out of the garage. He (the doctor) grinned evily and injected all of it into Violet's arm, then moved over to Lily. He pulled out another one from his coat pocket and pressed the needle down into Lily's arm, administering the strange solution into her bloodstream. Afterwards, he got up and strolled over to the bed in which Daisy lay. He pulled out one last needle and injected the solution in Daisy via her arm, then round up all the needles and snuggled them into his pocket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Unknown Girl...* There was a lone island off the coast of Cinnabar Island, and a mansion resided on it. Inside the master bedroom of the mansion, sat a 16-year old girl. She was registering herself into the Crystal Kingdom tournament. After she submitted her form, a devious smirk spread across her face.
"I'm coming for you, Pegasus..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Surge Crusher...* Robert gagged and tried to pry away Surge's grip, but Surge put his other hand around his neck, further tightening the grip.
"Now, listen up," Surge spoke in a sinister tone of voice, "I am the leader of a gang. You know that, right? Let me, Jason, and Vicki outta jail right now, or else... Mommy Dearest is wasted, got it?"
"What's your answer, Father?!"
"I'll release you..." Robert's voice trailed off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
*Misty Chase...* Ronnie sprinted after her, and gained on her rapidly (he sprint very often). He quickly caught Misty and tackled her to the ground.
"Now, kiss me, Misty! Kiss me and kiss me good!!" he screamed and tried to french kiss her. Misty clawed his face with her fingernails. "AHH!!" he yelled, which gave Misty the opening she needed. She punched his face twice and kicked him off of her, then got up and took off running again. Once Misty regained her stamina, she started walking down the eerie road. Without warning, Ronnie jumped from a motor scooter onto her and tackled her to the ground. He quickly tied her hands together before she could do anything, and that's when she finally noticed... Ronnie was BUTT-NAKED!
"AAHHH!!!!" Misty screamed at the top of her lungs and she tried to get away. Ronnie used his muscle strength to hold her down though. "I told you I was going to have sex with you, and I meant it! No matter how hard you try, Misty, you and I will have our sex, starting now!!" (Luckily a wolf came and bit his side, which drew away attention) Misty quickly kicked him in his shins.
"Oohh...." Ronnie grabbed his penis and balls and moaned in agonizing pain. Misty got up and with all her strength, whacked Ronnie in the face. This knocked him unconscious, and Misty used a nearby twig to cut the ropes, then dashed away from him quickly, not looking back.
(Yelola) "Have they been taken to a hospital?"
"Yes, and the doctors have given them all of the strongest medicines, but it isn't working. The toxins destroys it and moves on. So I came to you for help."
"Well, young lady, you won't give any help from me," she announced.
"Hunh? But I thought you specialized in this sort of stuff," Misty said.
"Unless you duel me," Yelola declared. "If you duel me and successfully defeat me, you'll get my help. What do you say?"
"Fine, I agree to you stupid terms. We will duel."
The elderly woman nodded and walked outside with Misty. "We will have our duel right out here." "Duel!" they both shouted, and their life points began filling up.
Misty's/Yelola's Life Points- 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Misty and Yelola stood opposite each other, preparing to duel. The cricket chirps filled the air and it was somewhat eerie outside. Misty won a game of heads or tails, and she reached down to draw her first hand. She was determined to win the duel. The fate of her sisters and John depended on her. If she didn't win this, she would never be able to help them.
[It's a good thing I went deck shopping earlier. If I hadn't, I never would've been able to take on this challenge. And with so much riding on this one duel, I cannot blow it. I have to win,] she thought to herself and looked over her five cards. "I'll play one card face-down and play another in defense mode." (she does this)
(BTW, if you've ever seen 'The Ghost of the Maiden's Peak [Season 1 of Pokemon], then picture Yelola looking and sounding like the 'old lady') "You little wench, I see what you're trying to do. You're trying to draw me into a trap, aren't you?"
"Why don't attack and find out; I could be bluffing," Misty dared her.
"Oh, no you don't. I'm not falling for this crap," Yelola responded and pulled up five cards of her own, then decided to make her move after studying them for a short while. "Hmm... I'll also play one card face-down, then play Curse of Dragon, attack mode!" she slapped down her card, bringing the roaring Curse of Dragon into battle.
ATK: 2000 DEF: 1800
"Now, let's see what you're up to. Curse of Dragon, attack with Dragon Flame!!" Curse of Dragon powered up a large fire beam in its mouth, then spit it out at Misty's defense card. It loaded in and revealed itself to be a Battle Ox. As the attack headed ever closer, Misty flipped up her trap card which was waiting.
"Ha! You fell for my trap. Mirror Force, activate now!" Misty's trap card created a magical barrier around the Battle Ox, and Yelola's attack was repelled right back toward her Curse of Dragon.
"I knew you would pull a stunt like this, that's why I also played a card face-down," she flipped up for card. "Negate attack!" The fire beam flew into the warp and dissappeared. "Ha! Stopped you in your tracks, wench."
"Stop calling me a wench!" Misty yelled, and Yelola laughed. Since it was her turn, Misty looked over her hand. Two of her cards were traps, one was a magic card, and the one monster wasn't strong enough to take down the Curse of Dragon. She drew a card from her deck and it revealed itself to be a Spirit of The Harp. This gave her an idea. "I'll play this in defense mode!" she put the card down, and the spot flashed to indicate it was on the field.
"Hmm... running scared, little girl? Curse of Dragon, destroy the Battle Ox now!" Yelola ordered. Curse of Dragon roared and spit out another large fire beam at the Battle Ox. This time it hit and Misty's monster was destroyed. But since it was in defense mode, no points were lost.
"Take that, little girl!"
Misty rolled her eyes and drew another card from her deck, in hopes of a strong one. "This is a good one. Go, Labyrinth Wall!" she slapped down her card.
"Aah! This could be bad news!" Yelola's eyes popped open as the ground began to rumble and shake. The Labyrinth Wall slowly begin rising out of the ground and the ground shook even more. Yelola's eyes remained fixed on the wall and Misty grinned. Once the Labyrinth Wall rose up and took is position, Misty pulled a card out of her hand and placed it down.
"I'll play one more card face-down and end my turn," she said and stared at Yelola. "I'm sure you know about the new rules that apply when Labyrinth Wall is played, correct?"
"I've never played on a Labyrinth field before!"
"Well, that's the best news I've heard all day," Misty said. "Okay, to make this quick, your monsters move through the maze in paces. The level of stars on your card determines how many paces you can move through the maze. Oh, and the maze is a no-flying zone, which renders your Curse of Dragon useless. Understand?"
"Very much," Yelola replied, then drew a card from her deck. "Okay, my curse of Dragon may not be able to move, but I've got other monsters, you know. Say hello to this, Garoozis, attack mode!" Garoozis snarled once it materialized into battle.
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1500 (?)
"Hmm... I'll advance my creature three paces into the maze," Yelola said. Garoozis walked through three tiles, then stopped. Misty drew another card from her deck and smiled.
"Allright, I'll play one card from my hand face-down and bring out the Red Archery Girl, in attack mode!" Misty placed down her cards and brought them into the duel. Red Archery Girl laid in her shell snickering.
ATK: 1400 DEF: 1500
"Red Archery Girl, advance 2 paces," Misty ordered. The Red Archery Girl's shell floated two spaces then stopped. Yelola drew a card from her deck and played it.
"I'll use this Monster Replace Card to exchange my Curse of Dragon for the monster in my hand with the highest attack power, and that is..." she paused until her new monster appeared on the field. "...Gaia, The Fierce Knight!" she laughed heartily.
ATK: 2300 DEF: 2000 (?)
"And Gaia does not move by flight, meaning its completely free to roam through your maze. Gaia, move in 5 paces, now!" Gaia obeyed its master and stepped forward 5 squares. It was now Misty's turn, and she reached down for a card. She drew it, then looked at it.
[Witch of The Black Forest, this is perfect. Now all I need is a polymerization card and I can fuse the witch with Spirit of the Harp to create The Musician King, one of my favorite monsters.] "I play this monster in defense mode and end my turn," Misty does this, and Yelola scoffed.
"What a waste of a turn."
"Don't be so sure about that, you don't know what I'm setting you up against," Misty retorted.
[She's right. That wench must be up to something if she keeps playing defense mode monsters. I'll figure that out later, right now, I need to concentrate on navigating my monsters out of the labyrinth and onto her side of the field. Then, I can obliterate her,] she laughed to herself, then drew a card from her deck and slapped it down. "I'll play this card face-down. Now, I know you've got some traps setup around here somewhere, so I'll make my Garoozis take the lead. Garoozis, advance 4 paces."
Garoozis walked around a corner and continued through the maze until he reached his last step, then he stopped. "Hmm... since nothing's happened, Gaia, you advance 5 spaces into this maze," Yelola spoke. Gaia tredded through the maze on his horse, following the path Garoozis took. It stepped one space ahead, and that was all needed for Misty's trap to activate.
"You went in too far, Yelola, for now I activate my face-down card, Spellbinding Circle!"
"Oh no!!" Yelola watched in surprise as a mystical star surrounded her monster and entrapped him within a blue energy field. The knight couldn't move at all. "What is this? My monster's stuck!"
"That's right, and not only is it unable to move, but its attack power has been lowered by 700 points!" Misty confirmed.
ATK: 1600
"Which leaves it vulnerable for my next move," Misty said and drew a card from her deck. It was a polymerization card. "Perfect. Now Spirit of The Harp, Witch of The Black Forest, switch to attack mode!" Misty's two monsters transitioned into attack mode, then Misty threw down the polymerization card in her hand. "And with the magic of this polymerization card, I'll fuse my monsters together to create..." Bright light swirled around the two monsters as the fusion began.
Yelola frowned at this. "Whatever you're planning, I'm sure my Garoozis can hold it off!"
When the fusion finished, there stood a new monster in its place. "Yelola, I introduce you to the Musician King!" Misty announced his presence.
ATK: 1750 DEF: 1550 (ATK, DEF ?)
"You little fool. For all your talk, your Musician King is still no match against Garoozis. I'll make it guard my knight. Garoozis, position yourself in front of Gaia, now!"
"That's all you're doing for your turn? Your loss," Misty muttered and drew another card. She smirked and slapped it down onto the card reader. "Ha! Now its time for me to add this magic card which juices up my Musician King and turns it into a lovable Heavy Metal King!" Misty shouted, and Yelola's face took a surprised facial expression. The Musician King was given a deep blue jacket (with spikes on the shoulders) to wear over his bare chest (the jacket was still open). Dark blue boots, which was also fitted with spikes, replaced the shoes on his feet, and he received an attack and defense point power boost.
ATK: 2050 DEF: 1750
"More than you bargained for, eh, Yelola?" Misty taunted. "Heavy Metal King, advance 5 spaces into the maze and attack Garoozis!" Heavy Metal King walked 5 squares as directed by Misty, and it ran right into Garoozis and the ensnared knight. "Now, Heavy Metal King, how about you play our guest here a tune," Misty smiled as her monster stroked the guitar. A rising, high-pitched tone sounded and strong sonic waves traveled right to Garoozis. The waves surrounded the monster, and it began to squirm and huddle tightly in an attempt to weather the attack. It failed, though, and the Heavy Metal King's attack made it vaporize off the field.
Yelola's Life Points- 1750
"I'd say that was a smash hit, hmm?"
"Stop teasing me, wench!" Yelola retorted and drew for a card. [I had no idea this little girl would be so formidable; I underestimated her skills and abilities in this game. I'd better take her seriously, or else she might take me down.] Yelola looked over the card she had just drawn, and it was a Flame Swordsman. "Oh, goody! I'll play this, the Flame Swordsman, in attack mode!" Flame Swordsman loaded at the start of maze and stood steadfast with its sword ready for battle.
ATK: 1800 DEF: 1500
"Flame Swordsman, advance 4 spaces." (it does this)
Misty decided it was time to play the one magic card in her hand. She pulled it up and threw it onto the card reader. "Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards from my deck instead of one." She then reached down and grabbed two cards, looked them over, and grinned. "This is perfect. I'll lay out one card face-down, and play this one (slaps it down), Remove Trap!"
Yelola's hidden trap, Graverobber, shattered. She snarled in disgust and spoke, "You stupid girl. I have to admit you are good, but I won't let you defeat me!" she drew a card from her hand and slapped it down. "I'm using the magic of Salamandra to add 700 extra attack points on my Flame Swordsman!"
ATK: 2500
"More than enough for me to destroy that wretched Heavy Metal King with. Flame Swordsman, attack with Salamandra Flame Strike!!" Flame Swordsman growled and thrusted his sword out, launching a fire dragon at the opposing monster. However, Misty was ready.
"Uh-uh, not so fast, cow! I invoke the power of De-Spell, which takes away your magic boost from your monster!"
ATK: 1800
"This is really bad!!" Yelola yelled in shock.
"Heavy Metal King, do your stuff, now!" Misty commanded. Heavy Metal King negated the oncoming Salamandra Flame Strike with his own attack, then launched the powerful sonic waves into the Flame Swordsman. The swordsman tightened in an attempt to withstand the attack just like Garoozis did, but it eventually succumbed to the attack and vaporized.
Yelola's Life Points- 1500
"It's my turn now," Misty drew a DoppleGanger card out of her deck. [Hmm... DoppleGanger. Its special power is that it can copy anything currently on the battle field. This gives me an idea.] "I'll play this card, DoppleGanger!" she slapped it onto the card reader.
"DoppleGanger? What's that?"
"DoppleGanger is a special magic card that allows me to copy anything present on the field. Hmm... I wonder what I'll do with this. There aren't many options, but I guess I'll go with Gaia the Fierce Knight," Misty declared. The DoppleGanger went to work immediately, and within seconds, a brand-new Gaia the Fierce Knight found itself on the field right beside the Heavy Metal King.
ATK: 2300 DEF: 2000 (?)
"This is extremely bad!"
"With two strong monsters like these Yelola, the odds are stacked in my favor. Gaia the Fierce knight, obliterate the other Gaia now!" Misty's knight charged toward Yelola's weakened (and ensnared) knight with its javelin spear prepped for attack. The horse ran faster, and when it approached Yelola's knight, Misty's knight stabbed it which caused to shatter violently.
Yelola's Life Points- 800
Yelola gasped and quivered in fear. "My life points! I'm trailng by a whooping 1200 points! This can't be happening!" she grabbed her hair and pulled on it.
"You shouldn't have never challenged me, old witch. I'm outwitting you at nearly every turn. Save yourself some embarrassment and concede the match."
[She's right, she is beating me. I might not be able to win this... but... I can still have the advantage over this wench.] "Okay little girl, I quit. I don't think I can win," Yelola places her hand over her deck, signifying that she was throwing in the towel.
Misty powered down her system and collected all her cards, stacking them in the deck. "Guess you realized that you're not such a hotshot duelist after all, hmm? Better late than never," Misty quipped while she stored her deck and her now converted Holochip into her device. Yelola does the same; she stared deeply into Misty's eyes and smiled.
"What are you looking at?" Misty wondered, then shrugged it off. "Whatever. Now, I've completed your task. I beat you fair and square in a duel, so now its time for you to hold up your end of the bargain and research the virus."
"Do you have the virus with you?" Yelola asked, and Misty nodded in response. She reached into her skirt pocket and pulled it out, then handed it to the woman. Yelola looked at it carefully. "Well, I must say this is truely interesting. I've never seen such a strange liquid before in my entire life."
"What do you make of it? Can you do something?"
"I believe I can, but I won't."
"Hunh? What do you mean you won't?"
"That's just what I mean. I won't!"
Misty scowled at Yelola. She began to fill up with anger, again. "You specifically told me if I beat you in a duel you would began researching the virus!"
"For a price," she stated.
"What?!"
"I said I would help you, but for a price."
"You didn't say anything about paying a price for your help," Misty said, but Yelola shook her head. "On the contrary, miss. I did say you had to pay me to get my help. I guess you didn't hear me," she smiled and pissed Misty off even more.
"You old wench!! You never said anything about a price!!!"
"Yes, I did!! To quote my exact words, I said: '"If you duel me and successfully defeat me, you'll get my help (voice changed to extremely light whisper) for a price. What do you say?' See, I did tell you what I said, you were just too dense to comprehend it," she giggled.
That did it. Misty raised her fist in the air and whacked Yelola straight in the face. "You take that price tag and shove it all up your crack!! Research this virus now!" she ordered, but Yelola suddenly darted inside the house. "Hey, get back here!" Misty gave chase, but once she reached the doorway, Yelola had grabbed her Phased Energy Rifle and prepped it for firing. She pointed it straight at Misty's head.
"Listen up, little girl, hit me again or try to make me do something your way and I'll disintegrate that head of yours. We're gonna do this my way, got it?!"
Misty put her hands up in the air and backed down. She nodded, and Yelola lowered the gun. "Okay, good. Now, in order to get my help, you have to pay me.... hmm... 3 million dollars!!" she spit out and caught Misty by surprise.
"What?! 3 million?! I don't have that kind of money in my possession!"
"Well then, I guess you won't get any help. I don't have any job, and I need to make money."
"So, you don't care if the lives of 4 people are at stake? They're dying for all you know, and you won't even try to save them."
"So what if they're dying?" Yelola spoke out, and Misty looked at her in disbelief. "I, and even you, deal with this every day. I watch television, and I see those commercials up there talking about staring children and how you can help if you call in and donate some of your money. They try to get you to feel sorry for them, but I don't. I don't know those kids, I don't help them out. And I don't know these... 'people' just as much as I don't know those kids on television. So, pay me the money or get out of my face!" Yelola gave Misty an ugly glare.
Misty stared at Yelola angrily, then spoke, "I may not have the money right now, but I'll be back. In the meantime, research the virus and see what you can find."
"Look at you, you wench, you're still barking orders. I'm not gonna even research this virus until you show me the money."
"But... you should already be researching the virus so when I come back with the money, the cure can be almost, if not complete. What's the use in doing nothing?"
"I'm quite sure if I get the cure now you'll try to steal it from me and rob me of my money. I can't risk that. Pay me the 3 million dollars and I'll start researching the virus, and once I find something, I'll contact you. Now, go away," Yelola pointed the powered rifle at Misty, and she walked off the property fuming with anger. Yelola laughed and closed the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
The following morning (around 7:30 AM), Surge and his gang of friends had been released by Robert on a technicality. This was much to Robert's dismay, but he couldn't risk Surge going after his own mother, so he turned him loose. Surge was also given back his dueling deck, but they were without the dragons. Surge was determined to track down Tristan and beat the crap out of him until he gave him the cards back. But was Tristan at home? While he was planning to steal the cards, Surge had watched Tristan to try and learn his pattern of life, and most Friday mornings Tristan was never at home, so where could he be? Maybe he was at his friend Brock's house? Or he could've been somewhere else; he really couldn't know. Surge and the gang walked up to the cottage in which Surge resided in. Surge opened the door and walked inside, and they followed him in. Jason fell out on the couch and sighed.
"Ohh... I don't think this sofa's ever felt so welcoming," he sighed again in relaxation. Vicki sunk down into one of the leather chairs.
"I know what you mean, this feels so good, especially after sitting around on those hard jail benches. You'd think since they were keeping you for such a while they'd put in some comfortable seating or something."
Surge clapped his hands twice to get their attention. "This isn't the time for us to just be sitting around. We've gotta mission to do. Tristan has my cards, and I want them back," he said and pounded his fist into his hand.
Jason sat up. "Boss, c'mon. We've been couped up in that jail cell for so long. Let's get some rest and go after Tristan later," he suggested and Surge stomped his foot.
"NO! Tristan took my Gamma Dragons from me and I.. want.. them.. back! No one bullies Surge Crusher like this! NO ONE!!"
"Boss, chill out," Vicki quipped. "We'll get back your dragons. First off, we have to find Tristan before we can do anything. Just take it easy, okay? We'll get Tristan, but in the mean time, take a little R&R time, allright? It might do you some good."
"Okay... I guess," Surge replied and sat down in the chair next to Vicki. "I've only got about a day left to register, right?"
"Yeah, boss," Jason spoke up. "You have three days to register. Around Saturday at 1600 hours, it closes down. So, you've got plenty of time."
"Yes, I see," Surge muttered and got out of the chair, then headed back to his bedroom. "I'll be in the bedroom for a while relaxing in the tub and practicing my Martial Arts. Don't disturb me!" he stated firmly then went inside the room and closed the door. Inside the room, Surge took a seat on his bed and pulled off his shoes. He yawned and stretched, then laid back on it. All it took was a good threat to make that dickhead father of his back down. Robert had many girlfriends before, but Debbie Crusher was Robert's first and only true love and he was very protective of her. Robert wanted nothing awful to happen to Debbie, and Surge used that as an advantage point to get his way. Gullible fool. Surge couldn't even bring himself to kill his mother, but he believed it anyway. Then again, he could. Probably would be fun to watch, and it would serve her right for disciplining him as a child... Surge sat up and pulled off his shirt and pants, leaving his boxers as his only article of clothing. He went to the adjoining bathroom and walked over to his tub. He turned in on and while it filled up, Surge went back into the room and flopped down on the bed. He grabbed his portable computer (think of a Gameboy Advance with a small keyboard attached to it) off the nightstand and lay back across the bed on his abdomen. He activated the computer and pressed on all the buttons to navigate his way to the online service. After speaking his password, the computer logged on to the virutal internet and he checked the current list of duelists who would be participating. Scrolling down the list, Surge searched carefully for Tristan Taylor in the list, and he found it. So, the little punk was going to try his luck in the tournament, eh? And he was sure he was gonna use the Gamma Dragons too. Surge decided to register for the tournament in order to keep track of Tristan. After doing that, he checked for any e-mail but nothing was there. Then, he logged off, deactivated the computer and sat in back down on the nightstand. He got up and went into the bathroom to find the tub now filled with water. Turning off the faucet, Surge pulled off the boxers and stepped into the warm water. He pressed a button on the faucet and some bubbles began flowing into the tub. Surge then sunk down into the warm massage and sighed. He rested his head back on the tub and let the small, focused beam cleanse his body of dirt. He was going to get his cards back, and Tristan was going down...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Meanwhile, out in the forest, Ronnie had fallen asleep for the rest of the night after Misty knocked him unconscious. He was still naked from last night. The sun's bright rays of light shone down in his face and he began stirring into consciousness. "Ohh.. oh..." he moaned as his eyes slowly began to open. The sun's rays greeted them though, and he quickly shielded his eyes with his bare arm. Ronnie was a little annoyed as he murmered and turned around to get his face out of the sun's path, then he sat up and rubbed his hands through his wild hair and sighed heavily. Everything from yesterday was coming back to him... he remebered just watching Misty closely at first, then as the day turned into night, he revealed himself to her and tried to sleep with her. But Misty refused. Why? What did he ever do to her? Why was she so scared of sex? It was normal for teenagers to make hot love to each other, so why was she repelled by it? Ronnie remebered trying to force himself on her, and he had her, but some stray wolf bit him in his side which gave Misty the chance to kick him in his privates and get away. Ronnie looked over at the bite. It was a deep wound at first, but overnight it became a little bruise... Ronnie then groped his privates to see if they were still intact. Misty kicked them pretty hard, but they were still there. Ronnie slowly stood up from the ground and wandered out of the bushes he was lying in. The motor scooter was still sitting there running, and fortunately for him, it still had a considerable amount of gas inside. Ronnie mounted it and sped off, heading back toward Wilderness Road.
"Oh, Misty, why did you have to make things so hard? Everything would be much, much simpler if you would just give me some good sex! Don't think this is over yet, it's just beginning..." Ronnie's voice trailed off as he sped straight toward the city...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
At the Kaiba estate, Mokuba was enjoying this lovely morning in the theme park. He threw his hands up in the air and screeched as the roller coaster thundered down the track at fast speeds. His brother Seto was upstairs on the master bedroom's balcony. He sat down at the table outside and began looking through some papers. With the extra funds, he was now digging his way out of the hole and back on top. Seto smirked with pride. It was all going just as he predicted, and now with those sisters and that John guy silenced because of the virus, he wouldn't get discovered by the cops. Seto had to admit, he didn't want to inject the virus into the trio because they were Misty's sisters, but it had to be done. Seto just hoped Misty never found out. It would ruin their friendship with each other and she'd most likely try to kill him. Hopefully, they wouldn't come to such blows. Seto worked on the papers for about 40 minutes, then he stood and took them into the house. He sat them down on his nightstand and walked over to a mirror.
"Hmm... I'm just not satisfied with this outfit," he said to himself and walked back over to his dresser. He pulled out some khaki slacks and a black silk shirt, then slipped them on. Stuffing his other outfit into the dresser, Seto closed it back up and put on some black shoes to go with the outfit. A nearby butler knocked on the door.
"Mr. Kaiba? Pardon me for disturbing, but there is someone outside who wishes to see you," he spoke in a thick, British accent. "Shall I send her in, sir?"
"No, it's okay. I'll meet whoever it is downstairs," Seto replied and walked out of the bedroom. He had a pretty good idea of who this 'visitor' could be, but his intuition could be wrong. After setting his coordinates, Seto stepped on the teleporter tile and was taken downstairs. After he reappeared on the tile, the young man stepped off and walked up to the large door. He reached out and opened it, and to his surprise, it was Misty.
"Hello, Seto," she greeted.
Seto was a bit nervous around her, but he kept it well hidden. "Misty, what's up?" he responded and stepped outside to where she was. "Um, how are you?"
"Oh, well, I've been better," she told him, and Seto knew why. She was probably worried about her sisters little 'incident'. "How are you doing?" Misty asked him, and he shrugged.
"Oh, I'm fine. Never been better. (slight pause) Hey, you wanna go around to the back? Possibly enjoy a soak?"
"A soak in what?" Misty wondered, and Seto shook his head. "Oh, never mind, forget it. But how about we go around to the back and have a little talk?" Seto really didn't want to do this, but he had to keep acting normal. Misty decided to take his offer and they headed around the huge house. They walked quite a while before they reached the enormous backyard of the mansion. Seto walked up to a table and scooted out a chair for Misty to sit in. Misty sat down and Seto took a seat beside her.
"So, what's going on in your life, Misty? Are you going to participate in this Duel Monsters championship?"
"I don't know, probably not. I mean, there's just so much stuff going on in my life, and I don't think I can take it."
"What's happening?" Seto pretended to be curious, but he knew what was wrong. She was saddened about her sisters.
"Seto, I need to ask you something," Misty said.
"What?"
"Um... I really don't know how to say this... I guess I'll just cut to the chase," she paused for a slight moment. "Seto, I need your help."
"..With what?"
"I need you to loan me some money for something."
Seto shifted his position in the chair. "Money for what?"
Misty cleared her throat before continuing. "Could you loan me 3 million dollars, in cash, please?"
"3 million dollars?!" Seto was slightly surprised. "What the heck do you need 3 million dollars for?"
"I uh... I need it to save my sisters. Some kind of terrible virus has infected their systems, and uh, the doctors has tried everything they can, but nothing's working. The virus, it has disabled their immune system, by that I mean it's turned the immune system against the body, and I need help. Someone who is an expert at this type of stuff can help, but she wants be to paid 3 million dollars, and that's why I need it," she announced, and Seto froze. Oh no, what was he going to do? If he gave her the money, her sisters would tell. But if he didn't give it to her, she would be mad, and possibly suspicious. Misty know he has more than enough money, and if he doesn't give it to her, she'll probably start snooping around. But... maybe he could cover it up somehow, like say he's having finacial troubles. It was the only idea that came to Seto's mind, after all, that was why he jumped John in the first place; he just didn't expect Daisy to butt in and get herself stabbed.
"Uh, Seto, will you loan me the money?"she asked again to get his attention.
"Um, Misty I hate to tell you this, but I don't think I can. See, I'm having finacial troubles."
"Finacial troubles? Seto, I know you make over 700 million dollars a year, how can you be having finacial troubles? Look at everything you have: this colossal mansion, a massive amusement park in your backyard, a lake for a swimming pool, golden patios, personal arcades, sprawling game rooms, that weightless simulation technology is installed all over the estate, must I go on? You've got everything a person would ever dream of at your disposal at all times, and yet you can't give me 3 million dollars?"
"If you would just listen to me, I assure you, you'd understand. See, someone robbed my house and took the majority of my money out of my vault. Fortunately, the Holochips are still selling really strong, so my funds are slowly building back up. But right now, I don't think I can afford to give away any money."
Misty scoffed and sighed. "I can't believe this. Seto, I thought we were friends. You're able to pay for all this stuff but you can't loan me 3 million dollars? And especially when its to save someone's life?"
"Misty, I told you what happened. I can't risk it. I may have all this stuff, but it does not come for free. I have bills to pay, and don't forget about Mokuba. I have to feed him; I have to buy him clothes, and take care of him in general. But I can't do that without money. Now, I'm sorry, okay? But, I don't have enough money. If I did, I'd give it to you with haste, but unfortunately, circumstances has conspired against me and now I don't," Seto told her.
Misty seemed to accept this information. "Allright, I understand. Are you sure you can't give me 3 million dollars? Their lives depend on me getting that money," Misty tried once more, but Seto shook his head.
"I'm really sorry, but I don't have any money to spare."
Misty got up from the chair and started to walk away. "Thanks, even though you couldn't give me anything. I guess I'd better be going now."
"So soon? Don't you wanna stay for a little while? I heard that Aya was going to be coming over this afternoon, sure you don't want to hang around for a while? We could eat lunch together, or something," Seto offered, but Misty rejected.
"Sorry, but I've got some business to take care of. Maybe later," she said and walked off. Seto sighed heavily and ran his fingers through his hair. He was actually glad Misty was leaving. He was so nervous around her, mainly because of what he did to her sisters. Maybe he shouldn't have done that. He should've just let them go and tried to convince them not to tell. Seto knew they weren't going to do that though, which is exactly why those four was injected with the virus. It was done now, and he couldn't start second-guessing himself. Seto got out of the chair and walked into the house. Although he was getting his funds back, he still wasn't anywhere near what he used to have. Which was why he was planning to take over his neighbor company, Industrial Illusions. Sure, they may have been collaborating, but if he managed to take out Pegasus and take over the company, he would be even richer than ever before. He would be super filthy rich! He would have so much money at his disposal that he could spend money build a house out of money. With all that cash flowing in, Seto would never have to worry about anything anymore. It wouldn't be an easy thing to do at all, but it wasn't impossible. That was his next plan: taking over Industrial Illusions.

It was a shady morning in Pallet Town, and people walked about doing their daily business. At Ash's house, everything looked quite calm. The lights in his house were out, and no one was in the backyard. It was quite desolate. Suddenly, a cluster of green energy shot a symbol hanging from a tree and destroyed it. Ash was off in the forest (behind his house) getting some long range target practice. He reloaded the gun with new ammunition and aimed for another target. This target was a pole which was farther away than the last one. He eyed the target carefully, to make sure that what he was aiming at was the actual thing. Suddenly, his eyesight honed in on the object.
"What the..." Ash was shocked. "How is... this possible..." he wondered. He could see the target perfectly now, because his eyesight had zoomed in on it. Ash closed his eyes, then opened them back up to find that they returned to normal. What had just happened to him? He didn't have any binoculars, yet he could see as far as one. Maybe Pegasus was right, maybe he did have some kind of special powers. But how would it be possible? Delia never had any powers, as far as he knew. He knew nothing of his father though, perhaps that was where we got them from? Ash had no idea. He sighed and decided to try it again. He squinted his eyes and focused on the pole, hoping he could do it. However, this time around, a bolt of lightning came from the sky and struck the pole down. Ash gasped in shock. That was no coincedence, either. There wasn't any thunderstorm going on, and Ash knew it was him who channeled the lightning down to the pole, but how could he do all this? There was so much about this mystical side of him that he didn't understand. He needed to know more, but that was the least of his worries. Ash was bent on killing Pegasus and avenging his mother's death. Pegasus had done too much to just be let off freely. He had to be punished.
"But if I can learn to control my secret powers, perhaps taking Pegasus down will be a much easier task. I need to know more, but where can I learn? No one's here to teach me how to control my powers," Ash slipped the gun into his pocket and walked back toward his house.
"Ash..." a voice called to him. Ash whirled around and his mother stood in front of him. After what happened last time, Ash knew that this was a trick from Pegasus.
"Pegasus, I know that's you under that disguise!" he shouted, but Delia shook her head. "No honey, it's me. It's really me, your mother. I've come back for you, Ash."
Ash would not believe this. "No! Get away from me! You're nothing but a fake, a delusion, a psychic trick! Stay away from me!"
"Ash, no! It is really me, Delia Ketchum, your mom whom you adore. Don't be afraid, Ash. Don't run away. You don't have to worry; I won't hurt you. Please, come to me. I've been resurrected..."
"How? No one just gets up and walk away from their grave. How did it happen?!" Ash demanded to know, and Delia shook her head in response.
"I honestly don't know, Ash. The last thing I remeber is being killed by Pegasus, then I woke up outside of my grave. I know I must've been dead for a long time, because you've grown..." she approached Ash to rub his face, but he backed away. "I understand why you're scared. (pause) Look at how much you've grown, you've become my little man."
"Get away from me!!" he whipped out the Plasma Blaster and shot at Delia's abdomen, but her body opened up to allow the blast to go through to the other side, then it closed. "I knew you were just a deception from Pegasus."
"Ash, you ever wonder where you get your powers from? You got them from me; I just never used them in front of you because I wanted you to grow up and be a normal kid. You can open up like that to avoid shots, too, you just have to try," she said gently. Ash didn't know what to believe. She sounded and acted just like Delia used to act, but was she Delia? Or was it another of Pegasus' deceptions? Pegasus have sent quite a few tricks, which made it nearly impossible to tell.
"Mother... is it.. really you?" Ash inquired, and Delia nodded. "Yes, honey, it is me. Come now, let us join together and take down Pegasus," she extended her hand to him, then suddenly tackled him to the ground. "Ooh... baby, look at how manly you've become!" she laughed wickedly, then said, "Ooh, let me check your privates! After all, it's been one year, let me check your groin and balls and see how much they've developed. By now, they should be big and juicy, oh!" she tried to force her hand down into his pants, but Ash quickly snatched her hands away from his areas and punched her in the face twice. Then he mustered all his strength, uppercutted Delia in the stomach and sent her soaring into the air. She landed on a tree so hard that she broke the branches and made them come crashing down with her. Delia slowly stood back up, then she morphed into Pegasus.
"This is not over, Ashy boy. The final showdown have yet to begin..." And with that he dissappeared. Ash's hands shook violently as he stood there. He was boiling over with anger and rage. He wanted to kill Pegasus so badly. [First, Pegasus kills her, now he's playing all these sick mind games with me and trying to give my dear mother a bad, perverted image.] Ash noticed how high he sent Pegasus into the air and began to wonder if it had something to do with his mysterious powers. If he only knew how to tap into these powers, then Pegasus would've died right then and there. Ash stormed away toward his house.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
After Flint's approval, Brock decided to have a sleepover at Tristan's house. He was still there right now, and they both sat in Tristan's bed playing a video game of the fighting genre. Brock landed a power punch in Tristan's character and knocked him out.
"Ha, ha! I win, you lose!" he exclaimed and grinned. Tristan tried to make an excuse of why he lost.
"No, no, you cheated. You must've set my fighter to be less resistent to punches."
"I did no such thing!"
"Yes, you did, or else you wouldn't won," Tristan said, and Brock pushed him down on the bed playfully. "Stop being such a baby and admit that you lost."
"I won't admit to that, because you cheated," Tristan suddenly grabbed Brock's shirt and pulled him down on the bed too; then both of them began fake wrestling.
"Why don't you just admit that you cheated?" Tristan asked.
"I told you, I didn't cheat," Brock argued. Tristan shrugged and stop wrestling. "Ah, whatever. So, you up for a duel? You got lucky last time, but this time I'll beat you."
Brock sighed. "Sorry, Tristan. I'm currently modifying my deck and I'm positive that it's not in dueling condition."
"Oh, c'mon man. Just one little duel?" Tristan begged, but Brock refused.
"I can't right now. My deck is way outta line. I'm trying to get it perfect for the championship..." a loud thud could be hear downstairs.
"Grandma?!" Tristan jumped off the bed and darted downstairs to find his grandmother unconscious on the floor. "Grandma, Grandma!" Tristan rushed over and kneeled down beside her. "Grandmother?!" he shook her gently, and Brock raced down the stairs to see what was going on.
"Tristan? What happened?"
"I don't know, she must've tripped and fell," Tristan said.
"Or maybe... (a punch noise sounded, thud was heard) someone knocked her unconscious. Ever think of that?" a deep voice sounded. Tristan turned to around to see Brock lying on the floor, and Surge stood beside him holding a wooden pole.
"Surge?! What the..."
"Hello, Tristan!" Surge greeted. "Long time no see, eh?"
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in jail!" Tristan yelled while standing up.
"Supposed to be... but I'm not. The sheriff let me off on a technicality, Tristan. After I got to him and had a nice 'talk' to him, he let me and my lackies out."
"What did you do to my Grandma?!" Tristan demanded to know.
"Oh, I tried to be nice. I came in and she ran after me with this pole, here. The chase didn't last long though. I took it from her and whacked that old cow upside the head," Surge spoke and smiled sinsterly. "She's got a lot of spunk, though, you know, for an old lady. It almost saddened me to hit her, almost."
"You punk, get out of my house, now!"
Surge laughed and said, "You really think I'm gonna do that just because you ordered me to? (laughs) You must think I'm a fool or something! Now... enough chitchat. Let's jump to the chase," Surge slowly approached Tristan, still grasping the pole in his hands. "Tristan, you caused me to get locked up, my Gamma Dragon cards were taken from me, and that just doesn't sit well with me, you know? No one's ever made a fool of me and lived to tell the story."
"Guess I'll be the first," Tristan retorted and Surge swung the pole at him. Tristan barely managed to catch it and snatched it away from him. He threw it aside and punched at Surge. Surge ducked the punch and kicked Tristan in the stomach, then delivered two punches to his face. Tristan evaded Surge's roundhouse kick and spin kick Surge in the face. Both of them took fighting stances and stared each other down.
"You're gonna pay..." Surge said and went on the offense. He threw five jabs at Tristan, all of which Tristan dodged. Surge caught Tristan's face on the 6th punch and tried punching him again. Tristan ducked it and kicked Surge in the chest, then punched him three times in the stomach and tried spin kicking Surge's face. Surge caught his foot and rammed Tristan into the nearby wall, shattering the mirror on it with Tristan. He tossed Tristan to the ground and tried punching down on Tristan's chest. Surge's fist met Tristan's shoe though, and Surge snatched his hand away. Tristan flipped to his feet and ducked a vicious punch from Surge, then grabbed him and kneed him in the stomach twice, then kicked him right on the forehead, causing Surge to stumble back into a nightstand filled with two glass flower vases and break them. Tristan wasted no time and kicked Surge again, then punched his face. Surge blocked Tristan next punch and elbowed his abdomen, then grabbed him and threw him over to the stairwell. Tristan fell back down the stairs, and Surge snatched him up by his hair and rammed his head into the wall. Tristan dug his hands into Surge's arm and scratched as hard as could (Surge screamed), making Surge release him. He then uppercutted Surge and sent him crashing into the wooden table, which broke upon impact.

Morty Jenkins walked up the steps to his townhouse. Jasmine had just left his home after spending the night over, and he was looking forward to tomorrow, because he was supposed to meet Jasmine at a health spa downtown to have some rest and relaxation (along with fun). He adjusted the Millenium Key on his neck and continued up the last few steps. His face had a huge smile on it as he entered the townhouse. It wasn't big; the only rooms in it were a living room, a small kitchen, and a bedroom and bathroom. He walked inside and shut the door behind him. He sighed and switched on the light. Then, a sedative stuck down into his neck, rendering him unconscious. Kemo pulled out a cell phone and called 'Master' Pegasus.
"Yes?" Pegasus' voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Master Pegasus, we have the guy. Should we bring him to the estate?"
"No. Take Morty and fly over to the palace at Crystal Kingdom, then lock him away in the underground dungeon chambers. After all, the palace is to be my home for the next few months," Pegasus told Kemo, and he nodded.
"As you wish, Master Pegasus. Morty will be transported immediately," he said and clicked the phone off. "Allright, troops, round him up and take him to the helicopter," he ordered and the troops did not object. Part 1 was Pegasus' plan was in effect.

At the mansion off the coast of Cinnabar Island, a small aircraft, much like a shuttle from Star Trek, was rising off a launch pad. Inside it was the girl. She looked out of a window while sipping a glass of fruit punch. Her destination was Domino City, and there she was going to see Maximillion Pegasus once again. She really missed him; Pegasus was always good to her and kind too. They used to share so many good times together, and she loved to wake up the next morning after a hot night together and brush his platinum hair. She was determined to win back his love. Ever since that tramp Cecilia had introduced herself into his life, they grew distant. But now she was going to make sure she'd get him back, especially now that Cecilia was dead. A servant approached her holding a plate of glasses (with fruit punch in them).
"Princess Sakura, would you like some more punch?"
"No, thank you," Sakura replied and took another sip from the glass of punch. "How far are we from Pegasus's mansion?"
"Uh, exactly 4 hours," the servant answered, then walked away. Sakura smiled and sipped some more of the fruit punch. In exactly 4 hours, she would reunite with the love of her life and nothing would separate them. With Cecilia dead, their love would be eternal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Tristan and Surge continued fighting on. Surge rammed into Tristan and pushed him back into the kitchen. Surge pushed Tristan onto the counter and knocked all sorts of pans off on the floor. He gripped Tristan's throat.
"Where are the cards?! Tell me!" he ordered. Tristan reacted quickly and dug his finger into Surge's eye. "AHH!!!" he screamed and let his grip go to rub his eye.
"I'm not telling you anything," Tristan said and kicked Surge's face. He grabbed a pan from the floor and swung at Surge with it, but Surge ducked and tried punching Tristan. Tristan dodged the punch and popped Surge's chin with the pan, then whacked him in the face. Surge grabbed the pan the next time Tristan tried hitting him and snatched it away. He kicked Tristan in the stomach and roundhouse kicked his face afterwards, knocking Tristan to the ground. Surge snatched Tristan up by his collar and jabbed him in the jaw, then punched his three times and tried kicking him. Tristan managed to grab Surge's foot and fling him around onto the base of a center island. Tristan snatched Surge up by his hair and hit him twice. Surge pushed away from Tristan and snatched one of the drawers on the countertops (it was full of dinnerware, which clashed on the floor) open and chucked it at Tristan's head. Tristan ducked, then dodged the numerous forks Surge tossed at him. Tristan then tackled Surge onto the ground and punched him in his face repeatedly, but Surge stopped him by jabbing his stomach. Shoving him off, Surge stood and yanked out another shelf and dropped it at Tristan. Tristan rolled out of the way and stood, taking a fighting stance. Both of them went at each other with all they had. Surge threw six punches at Tristan, and Tristan blocked them all, then punched Surge in the nose. He kicked at Surge, but Surge ducked and kneed Tristan in the stomach. He grabbed and rammed him into the nearby countertop stacked with glass dishes. Surge pulled a butcher knife out of the sink and tried to cut Tristan's throat with it, but of course, Tristan resisted. They pushed with all their might, trying to achieve their objectives. Surge's was to cut Tristan; Tristan's was to get the knife away. Tristan stomped on Surge foot as hard as could, making Surge drop the knife. He picked up Surge and threw him onto the counter, and Surge fell onto the dishes and made them fall onto the floor with him and break. Surge slowly got up, and looked at Tristan. Both of them were full of bruises and breathing heavily.
"This isn't over, Tristan, I will be back!" Surge said and darted out of the back door. Tristan was about ready to drop down onto the floor and pass out, but he didn't. He limped into the living room where Munella and Brock lay unconscious on the ground. Munella began to stir.
"Grandma, Grandmother!" Tristan approached her. She moaned and sat up, then looked over at him.
"Oh, dear, look at you! You look terrible!" she exclaimed and rubbed her hand across Tristan's numerous facial bruises.
"Oh, what happened?" Brock murmered as he began coming to. He got up and looked around. "Boy, this house sure is a mess," he commented.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Tristan inquired, and she nodded.
"Quite fine, actually. A little shook up and the back of my head is throbbing, but other than that I'm right as rain, whatever that means. You, however, look like you've had a far worse time. How are you?"
"I've been a whole lot better," Tristan answered. Munella looked over at Brock and said, "Hey, dear, go into the bathroom and get the Dermal Regenerator (a small device which heals and regenerates all skin tissues and stuff) for me."
"Yes, ma'am," Brock acknowledged and walked off in order to get the item. Tristan sighed and looked around the ramsacked house. "Man, me and Surge really tore this place up."
"I thought you said Surge was in jail," chimed Munella.
"Me too, but he told me he'd been released on a 'technicality'."
Munella stood up and looked around the house. "My, my, this place is a mess. You and Surge must've gotten into a scuffle?"
"Yep, he tried to beat me up and take the Gamma Dragons, but I defended myself quite well," Tristan told her as Brock came rushing back into the room with the Dermal Regenerator. He handed to Munella, who turned it on and held it up to Tristan's face. A small, green beam flowed out of the device and began to heal and rebuild Tristan's bruised skin.
"What happened?" Brock wondered aloud. "One moment I'm rushing down he stairs to see what was going on, next moment I get hit over the head and I black out."
"It was Surge," Tristan told him, and Brock gasped. "Surge, but how? I thought he was in jail!"
"So did I, but he showed his face here and tried to take my cards. That's what happened to my Grandmother and to you; Surge came and knocked both of you out, then we got into a scuffle. Obviously, I won because I still have my cards and Surge is gone."
"There you go, all fixed up," Munella said and put away the skin device. Tristan rubbed his hand across his smooth face and sighed. The bruises were gone, and so was the pain. Brock decided to help Munella fix her house back up, and Tristan walked upstairs to get a small shower and change his clothes. Entering his room, he closed the door behind him and sighed. What was he going to do? As long as Surge was out of jail, he and anyone else who were close to him was in potential trouble. Should he just give Surge the cards? Tristan rejected that idea. He wasn't a quitter or a chicken. If Surge wanted to resort to violence over the cards, then he could bring it on. Tristan was sure he could take anything Surge threw at him. He walked off into the bathroom and closed the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Li and Meilin had decided not to go to Tristan or Brock's house and pay them a visit that way. They were going to surprise them instead. Li and Meilin spent the night at a small motel on the outskirts of downtown Pewter City, and were now planning how they were going to show up. Li shook his head at one of Meilin's ideas.
"No, no! That totally sucks! There's no way they're going to like that!"
Meilin scoffed. "Fine, whatever. You got any ideas?" she asked him while combing her pigtails. Li laid across the bed thinking for a while.
"Hey, I think I got an idea."
"What?"
"Well, you know there's a new Duel Monsters tournament about to start, right? I took a list at all the current players registered for it, and both of their names were on the list. So, we could just surprise them on the cruise ship when it set sail," Li suggested.
"But, we're not even in this thing. There's no way we could sneak past security and get aboard the boat," Meilin pointed out.
"Which is exactly why I'm gonna enter that tournament."
"You're going to enter a tournament just to surprise two boys? If you've noticed, it costs $15.00 to register for it..."
"But I want to enter the championship anyway. I've been refining my deck ever since the game first came out, and now I'm a master at it. I could win the 100 million dollar prize! Or, at least the 50 or 75 million dollar prize!"
"Li, just because you're good at the game doesn't mean you'll automatically win. Sure, you may trounce the duelists in the sub-competition, but once the 2 months are over and the real championship begins, it is only going to be elite duelists there. Who knows, it could be some better than you, after all, you're not the best duelist alive," Meilin said.
"I'm good enough. On a scale of 1 out of 10, 9.9 out of the 10 duels I play I tend to win. And the duelists I duel are really good, too."
Meilin scoffed again. "If anyone should enter the tournament to win the prize money, it should be me. I kick your crack every time we duel," she remarked.
"Nuh-uh! I beat you the majority of the time!" Li retorted, and Meilin giggled. "If you add 'who loses the most' as a category, you surely trounce me in that department," she said and giggled some more.
"Allright, then. Let's duel and see who shall win!" Li declared, but Meilin held up her pigtail in his face.
"Li, I'm doing my hair. Maybe later."
"You're just afraid of losing."
"Oh please! What would I be afraid of! I kick your butt every time we play Duel Monsters!"
"No, you don't!" Li retorted, but Meilin just laughed in response. "Li, you know that every time we play, I trounce you. Admit it."
"Okay, well maybe you do, but that's only because I go easy on you."
"Please! I can tell by the way your face look when you're dueling that you give it your all. Stop making excuses. Now, forget about who wins this and who wins that," she said and sat down on the bed next to Li. "I'm tired of waiting. Li, we're madly in love and I think it's time to move our relationship to the next level."
"Meaning?" Li inquired, as he had no idea of what Meilin was talking about.
"I mean, I think it's time we shared out first intimate moment. What do you say?"
"Whoa!" Li jumped back. "Meilin! You know we're too young for that. We're barely 15 years-old! You can't seriously be thinking about sex!"
"Li, c'mon, you know you wanna ravage me. So, let's do it. Let's take a chance and do something wild. We've kissed, we've played outside naked, we've swam butt naked before, we've slept naked, we've even slept naked underwater, but we have never have sex before. C'mon, let's do it. Haven't you ever wondered what it was like?" Meilin questioned him, then pulled down her shirt to show her breasts, which tempted Li even further. He thought about it over and over, and without further ado, he jumped on Meilin, which made her giggle.
"Allright, let's do it," he muttered and they began kissing ravenously while tearing through each other's clothings. Li pulled off Meilin's top and Meilin ripped Li's shirt off of him. They continued kissing wildly and passionately. Li tore Meilin's bra off her chest, then began taking off his pants. Then, Meilin pulled off his boxers and Li pulled off her panties. Then they began to kiss each other more ravenously than before, and within moments, hot sex ensued...
