Author's Notes: A lot of dueling here.

Chapter Eleven: Duel Montage, Pt. 1

"First with his dying breath my Dark Blade(1800/1600) will destroy D.D. Assailant!" A spectral Dark Blade shot out of nowhere and ran his blade through D.D. Assailant's chest. Both warriors shattered into pixels and were gone. (DLP: 3900)

"No...since my assailant is gone Mataza loses eight hundred of his attack points!" Kensai nodded, and then pointed straight at the offending monster which was still loitering around on his side of the field.

"Now the dying spirit of my Psycho Shocker Knight(2400/1500) attacks Mataza!" A tall warrior in black and green armor rose up in front of Mataza and casually backhanded him aside. The two were scattered into the winds, and the damage was done. (DLP: 3600)

Asriel watched with a grimace as her husband's life points suddenly were wide open for even the most casual attack. The worst part was, she knew what was coming next. "Since you have no more monsters on your field my Strike Ninja's ghost may attack you directly!"

The spectre that had once been Strike Ninja moved out from behind Kensai. It then hurled a dagger at Davis, striking him in the stomach and driving him backwards. He grimaced, but kept his ground even as his life points took a drop. "I'm not out yet!" (DLP: 1900)

"I never claimed you were, but you'll be hard pressed to recover from that little fiasco. Especially since anytime I remove a Strike Ninja from play I'll be removing three warriors total, since there isn't a single non-warrior in my deck. This is the strategy that has granted me many a victory. Show me if you can overcome it." Davis nodded and took two of his cards, which he slid into his duel disk.

"I'll do that very thing. But I hope you can show me that you have more strength than just one simple strategy, otherwise I won't be happy with this duel. So far it's been a lot of fun, but it's only been four turns. That means it's bound to heat up." The two duelists faced off, each with a happy smile on their face because of the enjoyable duel they were having. Each one a warrior in his own way.

Kensai smiled slightly and slid two cards from his hand into his own disk, activating their effects. "My two magic cards will supply me with the monsters I need to finish you off! Go, Bury the Dead and Foolish Burial! Combined that sends four monsters from my deck to my grave!"

He searched quickly through his deck, and then slid the four cards into his graveyard. After that he reshuffled and returned his deck to its normal position. "With these monsters in my cemetery, this duel has reached its final turn as far as I can see. Now, I activate the effects of Strike Ninja! Smoke Bomb!"

The ninja hurled a silver sphere against the ground, and for the second time in that duel smoke clouded the view of the ninja. "Things aren't the same this time Kensai, take a look as your ninja's smoke screen fades away!"

Davis' words rang true when the smoke drifted, revealed the Strike Ninja standing still exactly where he had been before. It was also looking around in confusion, trying to figure out what had happened. "What did you do?"

Taking a moment to flash a thumbs up at Asriel, Davis motioned to one of his two cards. It was now face up, and showed a Dimensional Warrior standing outside a solid metal wall. "I used my trap card, Seal the Gateway. Until my standby phase neither player can remove monsters from the game for any reason, which seals the power of your Warrior's Death Blow."

"Impressive, but I'm hardly finished. Freed the Brave Wanderer will start my assault on your life points!" The blonde headed warrior jumped straight towards Davis, swinging his sword as he went. But he was halted before he got there by a glowing barrier between him and Davis.

"And he runs headlong into my other trap, Mirror Force!" Kensai grimaced as his four monsters shattered and became dust in the wind. Now each player had one card face down, and no monsters on the field whatsoever.

"I can't do anything else, so it's your turn Davis." Kensai readied himself for a coming attack, and Davis took the chance to draw a card. He grinned and showed it to Kensai, revealing a grinning green pot. The magical Pot of Greed.

"First I trigger Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down card!" A gust of wind emerged from his card and headed straight for Kensai's set, only to suddenly drift to the side and blow away Warrior's Death Blow. Davis' eyes widened in surprise, seeing his attempt to clear the field of dangers gone.

"Don't you know that just like any other pack the Supreme Duelist Series has five cards in it? Each one is a one of a kind, and therefor extremely rare. Well one of the other cards from the pack I received was called Know Your Enemy, and it can be played from my hand to change the target of an opponent's attack or effect to another legal target. So I just let you destroy my other trap." Kensai slid his magic card into the cemetery, leaving his hand barren and his field almost completely empty.

"That's fine with me, because I've got a combo that's just screaming out to be used. First step is to summon a favorite of mine, a monster that was discarded for my Hero's Cause. Monster Reborn calls back Dark Magician Girl(2000/1700)!" The blonde spellcaster did a twirl, and winked at both duelists, smiling prettily.

Kensai didn't react to this at all, he merely stood there and waited. There was a time when this might have affected Davis, but he had been married for quite a while now, and had a daughter, so that sort of thing no longer affected him. "Now I'll bring out her mentor, by revealing my final face down card. Sage's Stone!"

The other duelist nodded, recognizing it. "That lets you special summon Dark Magician(2500/2100) to the field if you already have Dark Magician Girl on the field. A nice bluff that worked well for you." Davis nodded, and the Dark Magician appeared on his field. Dark Magician Girl winked at him as well.

"Thanks, but it gets better. See, every magician spends a lot of time training to perfect his or her skills at magic. After a certain point they reach the height of those skills and become something more. Do you know what happens if Dark Magician reaches that level?" Kensai nodded, folding his arms to await the coming move.

"He becomes the Dark Sage(2800/3200). But it isn't possible to summon Dark Sage without successfully activating the effect of a Time Wizard(500/400) first. The odds of that are less than fifty-fifty, and if you try it now you could lose all your life points." Davis grinned and picked up the last card in his hand, letting it hover right in front of his duel disk, waiting to play it.

"There's always another way to do anything in Duel Monsters, even summon the Dark Sage. In fact, here's my method. I activate Sage's Council! By sacrificing a Dark Magician on the field I can instantly special summon the Dark Sage(2800/3200)!" An energy warp surrounded the purple clad magician, and a thousand years suddenly passed by.

The light faded, and the Dark Sage was revealed. He wore similar robes to the Dark Magician, had a thick oaken staff, and a trimmed gray beard. He was floating in a crouched position to Dark Magician Girl's left. "His effect instantly adds a magic card from my deck to my hand, so I now activate Card of Sanctity!"

Both duelists drew the appropriate number of cards, and from the slightly disappointed look on Davis' face, Kensai suspected the other duelist was looking for something in particular. "I have a question. Why didn't you use your Sage's effect to add a removal card to get rid of my single face down card."

"Because I don't have Heavy Storm in this particular deck at the moment, so Mystical Space Typhoon was my only magic card capable of destroying magic and trap cards. But I'm fine with that, since I've got a great hand. For instance, the magic card Apprentice's Devotion!" Dark Magician Girl knelt on the ground, and tears dripped from her pretty face.

When the tears impacted, light erupted from beneath her, and suddenly the Dark Magician appeared. Dark Magician Girl squealed with joy and jumped up to hug him tight. "Apprentice's Devotion activates if a Dark Magician Girl is in play and a Dark Magician is in either cemetery. I can then special summon that Dark Magician back into play."

"Now I summon Mystical Elf(800/2000) and activate Pendant of Balance to summon Dark Elf(2000/800)! These two aren't really needed, but they're back up in case you can recover. My three other magicians will attack you directly!" The magician's charged up and fired, creating a triumvirate of magical energies.

"I activate Release of a Warrior's Burden! This removes all warriors in my cemetery from the game if I am being attacked directly. Not only does it negate that attack, but it increases my life points by five hundred for each removed!" His cemetery slot spat out all of its monsters, and he fanned them out, revealing a combined total of eight cards. (KLP: 12000)

"Looks like you've got the life point advantage now, but I've got field advantage. So we'll see if you can make it to the next turn. I set two cards face down, and that's all."

Kai groaned and sat up. He wasn't in the fog anymore, and instead he was next to the sea, with a dock not to far away. "Good to see you up. Prep your duel disk and your deck, because you and I are going to duel."

He blinked and looked around, his eyes finally settling on a figure leaning up against a tree about twenty feet away. Because of the shade of the tree Kai couldn't get a good look at him. "Why should I duel you? Obviously you knocked me out, so what's my incentive to duel?"

"Kodowari told me you people were strong duelists, well I'm a fairly high ranked duelist in the Underworld of Dueling, making me strong as well. I always enjoy a duel against a strong opponent, and when I win I'll get whatever I want from you. The same could be said if you won." Kai narrowed his eyes, and then stood, ready to duel. It was worth it to get some answers. (KLP: 4000)

"I'm ready. Who exactly are you anyways?" The shadowed figure stepped out, revealing a teenager of about sixteen or seventeen in a Ra Yellow uniform. He had unruly black hair, and dark brown eyes, but there was something about him that was frighteningly familiar. If you changed the hair to a redder color and made the eyes violet, he could pass for Drake's brother, or maybe a cousin.

"The name is Masue, and I'll be going first. So let's get this started!" He grinned in a cocky fashion that also reminded Kai of Drake, and fanned out his six cards. A quick inspection told Masue what he wanted his first move to be. (MLP: 4000)

"I'll start us off simply by setting one quick-play magic card face down, and a monster in defense mode. Your turn." Kai had no idea what to think so far. He couldn't tell if Masue was just stupid, or whether he was lying about the type of card he had set. It didn't make sense to reveal it.

"So be it! I summon Skilled Light Magician(1900/1700) and have him attack your set monster!" A magician in white robes with silver streaks appeared in front of him, and then immediately fired off a bolt of magic at the set monster.

"I told you it was a quick-play. Weakening of Attack is the quick-play version of Negate Attack." Kai nodded, not bothering to mention the magic counter that his monster had just gained. He'd let Masue know about those when the time was right, which it would be quite soon.

"Two cards face down, and then it's back to you." His cards shimmered and took shape in front of him, ending his turn. He still had no idea what Masue's style of dueling was, and he was still slightly creeped out by the similarities between Masue and Drake.

"Bah! Skilled Light Magician? Looks like you're just an average duelist after all, and here I was hoping for something spectacular. End Turn." He slid a card onto his disk and that was all, leaving him with four cards in his hand. He was playing pretty defensively, so Kai was left uncertain on what action to take.

"If you think I'm gonna be bluffed out then you're wrong. I activate and then sacrifice my face down card, Magical Energy Production Device. Each turn it's on my field it gains one magic counter, and when I sacrifice it I can play those magic counters on one target. So I place both onto Skilled Light Magician!" His trap shattered, and then two orbs of light joined the first on Skilled Light Magician's outfit.

"Now I sacrifice Skilled Light Magician and his three counters to summon Light Magician(2500/2100) in attack mode!" His monster was completely identical to the Dark Magician, only its robes were pure white and not the distinctive purple of Light Magician's counterpart. Unlike his counterpart, Light Magician was an effect monster.

"I'm still not at all impressed. Show me something worth my time already!" Kai nodded and took another card from his hand. He slammed it down on the disk, and a young looking magician in black and red with bluish hair now stood next to Light Magician.

"Silent Magician(1000/1000) is the right monster for the job. Especially when I activate Joint Charity, making us both draw three cards and discard two!" Both duelists did so, Kai's hand staying the same size and Masue's increasing by one. At the same time Silent Magician grew taller and more powerful, hitting twenty-five hundred attack.

"Now I activate Light Magician's effect and remove Joint Charity from the game to activate it again! Since you just drew another three cards, Silent Magician's attack power rises to a massive four thousand!" Masue nodded and then discarded the two cards he wanted to get rid of. Kai didn't mind that Masue had two new cards, because he had gotten what he needed as well.

"Light Magician, attack the set monster! Light Magic attack!" The magician raised his staff and a beam of white light shot out from the end. Masue smirked and watched calmly as the energy beam struck his monster...and then bounced back, sending an electric surge throughout Light Magician's body.

"Time to reveal my strategy! You just attacked a monster that cannot be killed in battle and comes with a shocking effect. It is Shock Plated Armor(1000/1000), and the monster that battles it cannot attack for two turns afterwards, but my armor dies at the end of the turn it is attacked!" A red chest-plate floated in front of Masue, electricity crackling through it.

'Armors? I remember Drake once mentioning something about a set of monsters called Armor monsters. He said they were powerful, but he never really explained what they did. So I have no idea what to expect.' Kai glanced at his Silent Magician, knowing that attacking with it at this point would be fruitless.

"I set a card face down. End." That one word seemed to be the key, and according to it's effect Shock Plated Armor shattered, leaving nothing on Masue's field but the face down card he had chosen not to use.

"So far you haven't impressed me, and I haven't even unleashed any of the real strength of my Great Armor Deck! Before long you will crumble beneath the power of Masue Ihachi!"

Kirani narrowed her eyes, uncertain exactly how to respond to the person standing in front of her. Her opponent had wild blonde hair, sticking out at strange angles all over his head. Not only that, but his gray eyes were filled with a look that spoke of a lack of complete control over mental faculties. "And why am I here again?"

"To duel me of course! I want to have a little fine by dueling a powerful person such as yourself, and of course I can also win the duel and if I do then I get to take whatever I wish from you while at the same time the same thing applies to yourself and oh by the way I hope you're ready to begin because I am!" Kirani blinked, barely managing to absorb everything he said. She was pretty sure most of that had been one sentence.

"Right...I suppose I'll do it, I'm in the mood for a duel after all. Just...tell me your name...and try to do it slower." She slid five cards off the top of her deck and started up her spiffy new duel disk, ready to get the show on the road. (KLP: 4000)

"Me, I'm Vance Yeomens, Ra Yellow student and member of the Underworld of Dueling at your service my pretty lady who is about to be my opponent!" He grinned in a manic sort of way, and triggered his own duel disk, drawing six cards to start it off. (VLP: 4000)

'Vance Yeomens huh? When Kodowari said he was off-color I didn't know he meant the guy acts like he's eaten a bath tub full of sugar for each meal.' She shook her head in slight amusement and waited to see just what this guy was capable of doing. It didn't look like she'd have to wait long, because he was already jumping into action.

"For my first great move I'll summon this amazing little creature which you can't tell what it is yet because I'm going to be putting in face down defense mode to conceal its true identity and its effect from your prying and curious eyes!" Kirani felt a slight twitch start to develop in her left eye, and hoped that she could finish this duel quickly. He was already giving her a headache.

He stood there, waiting and smiling for several seconds, bouncing back and forth from foot to foot. It was only after watching his antics for nearly a minute that Kirani realized that was all he was going to do for the turn. "Just a monster? Fine with me. Draw!"

Her hand was a decent start, and she'd make do with it. "Kaiser Seahorse(1700/1650) comes out to play and he attacks your face down monster!" The muscular creature hurled its spear at the face down monster, which was revealed briefly as a thin squirrel before it was destroyed.

"You just killed my precious little Sugar Glider known as Nimble Momonga(1000/100) who increases my life points by one thousand when destroyed in battle and lets me summon the other ones from my deck in face down defense mode so I'll grab both from my deck and throw them in defense mode just like the effect says!" Two more face down monsters appeared, keeping Kirani from making any progress. (VLP: 5000)

She grimaced and set a card face down, allowing him to take his own turn. He looked at the card briefly, and then slid it into his disk. "I activate the continuous magic card Sugar Rush, which activates whenever one of my monsters is destroyed in battle and grants me a bonus of five hundred life points and when I gather enough of a bonus from this card another special effect will happen that you'll just love and that's all for my turn!"

Kirani's eye began to twitch even faster, and she felt a dull throb in the back of her head. If she didn't finish this guy off fast she'd have migraine in just a few turns, and she still only had one real playable monster. "I start off with Different Dimension Capsule, which lets me take a card from my deck and remove it from play. On my second standby phase after activation it will open and give me that card."

A golden coffin now stood face up in front of her, awaiting the moment that it would be opened. "I set a monster in defense mode, and then I have Kaiser Seahorse attack another Nimble Momonga." The monster was blown away with little defense, and its ability and Sugar Rush's ability both kicked in. (VLP: 6500)

With nothing else to do, Kirani completed her turn, giving control over to Vance. The sugar hyped duelist looked at his new card and immediately played it on the field. "I set a single monster face down in order to conceal its special ability and identity just like I did with Nimble Momonga and then my turn is over!"

With a deep breath and the desire for a quick victory, Kirani drew, bringing her one turn closer to the opening of the capsule. "Gilford the Swift(1400/500) in attack mode!" Her rapier wielding monster joined her spear wielding one, and both of them readied their weapons for an attack.

"Each of my monsters attacks one of yours!" A quick slash and the stabbing of a spear eliminated both face down monsters. One was the last Nimble Momonga, further raising Vance's life points and the other was suddenly replaced by another face down monster. (VLP: 8500)

"You flipped and then destroyed the incredibly dangerous Spear Cretin(500/500) who lets each of us either special summon a monster from our graveyard in attack mode or in face down defense mode so I got a monster in face down defense and you got nothing because you had no monsters in your cemetery whatsoever and is your turn over?" Kirani groaned and nodded once, giving him another chance to prolong the duel with more irritating cards and his irritating manner of speaking.

Vance looked at his six card hand, and then smiled. Finally he took three of the cards and turned them around so he could show them to Kirani. She grimaced as she recognized them. "I play Shallow Grave, Shallow Grave, and Shallow Grave, all in total allowing me to revive three monsters from my cemetery in face down defense mode and getting you nothing just like with Spear Cretin because you have no monsters in the graveyard!"

'Now this fast talking idiot has his three Nimble Momongas back and his Spear Cretin. If I attacked a Momonga on accident first then he'd be able to use Spear Cretin's effect and revive that same Momonga again. No matter what happens it would mean more life points for him...if I didn't have my capsule card.' She smirked, barely registering that Vance had set a card face down on the field and was once again bouncing from foot to foot.

She drew, and then the capsule opened, allowing her to take the previously removed card and add it to her hand. That was all she needed, and now was her time to shine. "I'll bring out the card I removed by sacrificing Kaiser Seahorse and Gilford the Swift. Kaiser Seahorse counts as two tributes for a light monster, meaning Gilford the Lightning(2800/1400) will get to use his effect!"

Her mighty warrior descended onto the field, and slashed his sword in a sweeping arc. A powerful bolt of lightning shot down from a suddenly appeared cloud above them. But instead of blowing away all of the monsters, it shattered Vance's face down card. "I knew you chose Gilford the Lightning so I set my Sugar Substitute trap card which can absorb a destruction effect into itself and when it is destroyed I gain an additional five hundred life points!" (VLP: 9000)

"Oh to hell with it! Gilford the Lightning attacks one of your monsters!" Her warrior swung his sword and cleaved a monster in half. To her annoyance it appeared to be a Nimble Momonga, meaning he was about to gain even more life points. (VLP: 10500)

"Next I activate Lightning Strikes Twice, letting Gilford attack once again!" Gilford didn't return to her side of the field, and instead slammed his foot down on the monster to his right. There was a cry of pain, and Spear Cretin briefly showed its face before vanishing. (VLP: 11000)

A face down monster appeared on Vance's field, but Kaiser Seahorse appared on Kirani's field. Since it was her battle phase still, she was far from done. "Kaiser Seahorse attacks the newly revived monster!" Her monster's spear did the job, and though Vance gained more life points, he was also left with only two monsters. (VLP: 12500)

Vance smiled slightly, and glanced at his Sugar Rush card. So far it had granted him thirty-five hundred life points, and he was just one more step away from getting its true ability to activate. "I play Pot of Greed and then follow it up with Magic Shard Excavation discarding two cards from my hand to take back and replay Shallow Grave!"

Kirani nodded, putting a monster down on her own field. She was pretty certain that he had set Spear Cretin, giving him a total of three monsters and the potential of four. That could save him from her attacks even if she managed to up her total of attack worthy monsters to four. "Guess it's my turn again. I draw!"

She grinned when she saw exactly the card that she had drawn. It would mean that she didn't need to summon a new monster, because she had what she needed to make it work. "I activate the incredibly rare and incredibly powerful Raigeki to destroy all of your monsters!"

Vance looked astonished as all three of his monsters blew apart, none of them able to use their effects. "You gain fifteen hundred life points because of your Sugar Rush card, but you also have an open field. So now I flip up Gilford the Swift(1400/500) and attack you directly with each of my monsters!"

The three attacks smashed into Vance's body, and he dropped to his knees. But he was still looking up with a big idiotic grin on his face, and looking hyper as ever. It didn't seem like anything short of a divine act could stop him from being hyper. "You aren't really finished, but at least I knocked you down a notch or two." (VLP: 8100)

To her surprise Vance only began to laugh, and as he drew his card, his demeanor seemed to change. He was still goofy and hyper, but there was something deadly about it. "Now that I've managed to have Sugar Rush absorb four thousand life points I can activate its delayed effect, that of a special ritual to summon my ultimate creature which only requires that I give up eight levels of monsters to summon it."

He slid the two cards in his hand into the graveyard, and then snapped his fingers, looking highly amused as his Sugar Rush shattered into nothingness. "Now I sacrifice Sugar Rush to unleash upon you my ultimate beast of doom, the mighty Super Mega Ultra Hyper Dynamic Sugar Man(?)!"

Alice had created special duel disks just for this game, as it appeared she was quite adept with machines as well as programming. She had also used her program to allow him to scan his deck and produce analogues of his cards for her game. Only three cards hadn't had entries in her system, and he swiftly removed them. Her system couldn't later the god cards anyways.

"Let's get started! You'll be going first, so I hope that's okay!" Alice activated her special disk, and then to Dalin's slight surprise drew seven cards. Taking note of this the angel duelist did exactly the same, noting the difference in his cards from regular Duel Monsters cards. He also glanced at his disk and saw the point total. (DLP: 8000, ALP: 8000)

"I draw" He was stopped when the disk flashed, showing him the display for an illegal move. 'No draw for the first player. Very well, let's see what I have to work with.'

He scanned his cards, and saw that though they were like his actual deck by name, the actual cards were different. He decided to try his luck, and placed a monster in his monster zone. Once again the disk flashed, declaring it to be an illegal move. 'I'll have to wait and see how she handles summoning before I can it would appear.'

He moved a card from his hand in an attempt to set it face down, however his disk again beeped and declared it to be an illegal move. He frowned slightly and lifted his disk to inspect it. A thought crossed his mind, and then he began to smirk. "I see, I know what sort of system this is."

Alice's eyes widened in shock, never expecting him to come to a conclusion that fast. He hadn't even watched her make a move and already he was coming to understand this style of dueling? 'I knew senpai was good, but I didn't realize he was this brilliant!'

"If I have surmised correctly, your game runs on a style known as a 'Mana' system. In such a style of game each player can only use cards by paying for them in what is called Mana, which are gained by charging certain types of cards. I assume like other such systems one is only allowed to charge one per turn." Alice nodded in amazement, shocked that he was figuring it out so quickly.

"Since I have guessed correctly, I assume it is safe to charge this card as mana. Venus, Angel of Creation becomes my mana! According to the effect you have given it, since I charged it as mana instead of the three Holy Shine Spheres coming to the field, they are also automatically charged as mana!" He took the three from his deck, taking note of a number of the cards in his deck before charging them in his mana zone. Now four balls of energy were glowing up above his head, meaning he had four mana to work with.

"Next, according to the mana style of playing I will tap all two of my mana to pay the cost of summoning Neptune, Angel of Emancipation(17000/0)!" Two balls of energy vanished, and his angel was summoned onto the field in front of him. But it looked somewhat uneasy on its feet.

"My creature looks sick...therefor I surmise that you are using a rule that was once used in an old card game. In that game most monsters who were summoned suffered from summoning sickness, which prevented them from attacking the turn they were summoned. Since I cannot attack, my turn is over." Alice stared at him with wide eyes, unable to believe what she had just seen.

'I'd say it was impossible...but I just saw it with my own two eyes! He just unraveled several of the basic rules of my game with minimal effort! Senpai truly is the ultimate duelist!' Dalin raised an eyebrow as Alice clapped her hands together and held them to her chest, a dreamy look in her eyes as she stared off into the distance.

'I couldn't possibly accept being with another man, no man can measure up to Sumatin-senpai! I'll prove myself to him by giving him a difficult duel, and win or lose I'll come out of this ahead. So get ready senpai, because Alice is gunning for you!'

Review Responses

Time Mage: More on Kodowari's plans in the next chapter, and the Obelisk Blue guy will be revealed in the second part of the Duel Montage.

John: Nope, they won't tie. It's difficult to come up with a tie that isn't forced and unoriginal. This duel will definitely have a distinctive winner.

Gryphinwyrm7: Oh yeah, that whole two of the same person in one universe thing will come into play later on.

G.O.T. Nick: Yes indeed. Also, the difference in this situation is that as Rikuo can smell the two scents and feel the powers, so it seems real, as opposed to just seeing something happen. To him, it seems like he has proof.

Adriel: NOOO! Not McDonalds! As for who is at the academy, lots of people, like Griff, Hitokage, Eri, Adriel, Kenshin, and so many more. Although I don't know all who are there.

WolfGeneral: I'm still trying to figure out how that duel will work out.
