The card glowed, and Tea turned her head, seeing only the bright light. From the card the warrior appeared, but then, he changed. He now wore a simple t-shirt and jeans. Tea ran to him.

"Geno...." Raia whispered. "Of course, Geno's soul is in that card, and Tea was involved with him."

Yugi nodded. "This has never been about me and Seto. Tea still longs for Geno, and she thinks that her inability to get over that will hurt us both."

The Captain put his hands on Tea's trembling shoulders. "Listen to me Tea: This sin't real."

Tea blinked. 'What....what do you mean? Yugi and Seto...."

"Are perfectly safe. This is all an illusion."

Tea loked at him. "You...you mena it?" The Captain nodded. "Oh, thank god!" She wrapped her arms around him, but the Maruader pulled away.

"No Tea."

"But...but why?"

He looked at him. "We were never meant to be. All those feelings, they are just a byproduct of some magic from my lineage, nothing more."

Tea trembled. "But I love you."

"No, you don't Tea. You love this image, this vision. I am not even real! I am merely a piece of the real Geno. But you are so blinded by the vision that you once saw, that you can't see that there are two men that love you more then I ever can."

Tea looked down. "So, what is this?"

"This is closure Tea. You never got closure, never got a chance to have the past be put to rest. And until you do...." He looked over at Fake Yugi and Fake Seto. "You will hurt them."

Tea turned, and now saw two figures, one lowering Yugi into the lava, the over operating the pendulum. But with each second,t hey became clearer, and she saw they were her, watching Seto or Yugi near death happily. Tea fell to her knees.

The Captain placed a hand on her shoulder. "We are through Tea." He suddenly returned to his warrior mood, and spun his swords, and split in two.

"It's not you...." The first said, raising his swords.

"....it's me." The second finished, spinning his, they leapt at the other Tea's and cut them down, hacking them to bits. Tea closed her eyes, and trembled.

Geno's eyes flashed. "You do realize the last person who said that lost the duel horrible?" Viva looked at him. "Nevermind." He drew his card and smiled. "Perfect." I summon Amazoness Paladin to the field!" The warrior woman appeared, her blade flashing. "And now, I will activate my deck master's effect: Twin Blades!" Geno slipped a card into his duel disk. "This effect allows me to summon an exact duplicate of a monster on my field from my hand." A second Paladin appeared. "And thanks to their effects, which increase their attacks by 100 for each Amazoness on the field, I now have 2 1900 attackers!" The amazonesses glowed, and then raised their blades. The Marauding Cpatain let out a growl, leering at the women. "Yeas, they are sexy, but keep your mind on the task at hand. Besides, your wife will kill you if she finds you staring at the hired help." He nodded, and Freed looked at Geno, wondering what now. "Let's take the king out!"

"Have you forgotten my Pawn's effect?" Viva asked as four more pawns appeared to take the blow. (Viva-3700)

"Actually, I planned on abusing it." Geno said. Viva frowned, not understanding. "Draw your card." Viva drew, and understood. "With every time, you lessen your chances to use Checkmate." (Viva-2900)

Viva growled. "You aren't that smart. I still have other tricks then this. I activate Arch Corruption!"

Geno looked at her. "What is that?"

"Watch." Viva said, as the card glowed. Suddenly, Freed let out a scream as spikes grew out of his body. His hair fell out, his skin becoming blue. His armor changed to bone, his eys glowing red. "You see, this card is an upgraded of the "Falling Down" magic card."

"But it still shouldn't work! Freed is unaffected by magic cards!"

Viva laughed. "This card has two effects: First, it turns your monster into an archfiend. But second, it can't be negated by a monster effect. As such, your Freed's built in protection can't save him!" From his back two bat wings burst out, and with a final roar, Freed the Matchless General was gone. "I present my new fiend, Fiend, the Matchless Demon!" The two monsters roared. "Now, destroy Geno's Amazoness Paladins!" The two women's eyes grew wide as the two monsters crushed them. (Geno-1800)

Geno looked at her. "You have done well. But I can still beat you!" He drew, and smiled. "I have bought myself time. I will set this monster, and use the last card in my hand: Heavy Storm!" (Viva-2100)

Viva's eyes were wide as the storm took away her trap, her equip card, and Geno's call of the haunted, destroying Fiend. Geno smiled.

"I set this monster. Attack, I dare you!"

Viva shook her head. "I will activate Pandimonium!" The game shop broke down, and Geno found himself in the layer of the archfiends. "Now, let us see your trump card work now!" (Viva-1300)

Geno began to laugh. "Gladly! I flip into attack mode the warrior that will destroy you...."He paused. "Check that, warrioress." Viva watched as a blue haired woman appeared. "I reveal Shima, the Shadow Tamer!" The former Egyptian woman, Kaikou's mother, lost love of Geno, looked at him. Hearts appeared in Marauding Captain's eyes and he leapt onto the field, bringing himself into play. Shima chuckled and kissed him on the cheek. "Now watch as my lovebirds take you down."

"I fail to understand how your deck master and his whore can beat...." Marauding Captain held his sword to her throat, and then slashed her chest. Viva let out a scream as she fell down. "CHEATER!" Geno looked at her. "Your deck master can't attack me! He ahs to attack my TerrorKing."

"Why, when the King chooses to fight for me?"

"WHAT!?!?!?!" Viva called out. She stared as the King stood near Shadow Tamer, bowing, not looking at her. Viva saw Shadow Tamer's whip around his neck. "NO! You can't do this!"

Geno chuckled. "I can, and have." His demeanor changed. "Shadow Tamer, I want her King to deliver the death blow." The Marauder and the Tamer both laughed, and with a crack, the king sadly charged his claw. The once proud king was now a pet of the warriors. HE blasted, and Viva went flying, and darkness surrounded them.

Viva slowly stood, and Geno picked up her duel disk, and looked at her deck. "Looks like Derek gets a friend." Viva didn't understand what eh was talking about, but was shocked as the Eye of Anubus appeared on Geno's forhead. He pulled out a card and held it up.

"Falling Down?" She asked. Geno nodded, and touched her head with it. She looked at him, puzzled, then clutched her sides. "AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Geno smiled despite himself. She had threatened his son and daughter, as well as his friends, she would now pay.

HE watched as she curled up, her body transforming. Her skin became blue, pale and cold. Her black lipstick covered mouth twisted into a sneer, her teeth sharpening, her lips now permently black. Her long, dark nails now twisted into claws. Her muscles bulged as she gained mass, becoming bigger. Her feet burst from her boots, now demonic soles. Her clothing was tearing, yet remained enough to keep her covered. She screamed as her back exploded in spikes. But the final change was yet to come. She reached up to touch her head to fing her hair falling out. But then, she grabbed her skull, crying as long spikes drove out, forming a deadly head armor. She opened her eyes, and they looked at him, glowing red. She gasped, and licked her lips, her now forked tongue darting out.

Geno knelt down. "Like the new look?"

She sobbed. "What did you do to me?"

Geno smiled, and suddenly wore the armor of the Marauder, and grabbed her throat. The Eye of Anubus faded, and a Star appeared in it's place, the light burning her skin. His hand was curshing her wind pipe, and she struggled to breath. "No one threatens my children and gets away with it!" He lifted her up and pulled out a card. "I dub you VivaGuardian Archfiend. You will be a level 5 2000 attacker, with the ablitiy to sacrifice 2 monsters from your deck to protect your monsters." He smiled, and she began to fade. "Welcome to the club."

She let out a frightened roar, and faded from view. Geno slipped the ew card into the deck and placed it in his coat, which had reappeared. His eyes glowed, and the stars appeared behind him. "2 down" he fired at the Jar, "1 to go."
