"Now, Attack her Life points Directly!" Robert commanded, the two dragons let loose twin roars, drowning out the sound of the water fall and even the sound of the thunder crashing over head. The Lord of Dragons began chanting building up an orb of greenish black energy and all three of the monsters launched their combined attacks at Kelly.

Athena/Kelly: 900

Robert: 4500

"Stop this now Kelly. You can't beat me. Join me, we can work through it." Roberts voice was cracking as he tried to shout over the sounds of the storm and the roar of the falls.

"I... I can't. If I lose, he'll punish me." Kelly was on her knees, her face down her long blonde hair hanging down around her head, almost touching the ground.

She was shaking uncontrollably now.

"Kel... I wasn't able to protect you in the past. But I'm here now. I know We can get through this. I Swear, I won't ever let anyone or anything hurt you again." Robert voice was low, but still carried enough force to get through to the young woman. She looked up at her brother through the gap between the two massive Dragons.

Sammantha was standing at the tree line watching the whole exchange. She too was soaked to the bone, her hair matted to her back. Yugi, Joey and Ryu stood beside her, they'd arrived just as Kelly had torn into Robert with her Amazoness monsters.

The small group stood in silence as the two Siblings fought. Kelly was good, but the emotions involved combined with the brute strength of Roberts dragons were working against her.

Joey wiped his forearm across his eyes and sniffled.

"Darn Rain." He complained, trying to cover.

"Wow..." was all Ryu could muster

"I haven't seen a Duel this intense in a long long time." Yugi said, standing next to Sammantha who was weeping openly, feeling the torment and pain that Robert must have been going through as he launched such a devastating attack at his little sister.

"I can't just give up. If I give up... He'll..." Kelly trailed off. and drew her card.

" I play, Raigeki!" Kelly called out as blasts of lightning shot down and destroyed the three monsters on Roberts side of the field.

Robert pressed a button on his Duel Disk.

"Activate Trap! Call of the Haunted, Welcome Back Blue Eyes." He said as the mighty dragon re-appeared on the field.

"I summon, The Amazoness Swords woman in attack mode! Attack the Blue eyes White Dragon!" Kelly cried out

The Sword Wielding Amazoness launched herself at the massive dragon and slammed into it at full speed, destroying itself and leaving the Blue Eyes untouched.

Robert however grabbed his left arm and let out a painful growl as his Life Points dropped by 1500.

Athena/Kelly: 900

Robert: 3000

Sammantha looked closely at Roberts left arm and noticed a thin trail of blood flowing from the old scar on his Bicep.

Kelly was biting her lower lip, She was now defenseless, all of her face down cards were useless and she'd just lost her last monster. The look in her eyes was pleading, she wanted the Duel to end, Robert knew it.

"Brace yourself sis. This is the last time I'll ever hurt you intentionally." Robert gave her a reassuring smile through the massive downpour.

Kelly smiled as well, she could barely see Robert through the torrential downpour but she knew he was smiling.

"Blue Eyes White Dragon, BURST STREAM!!" Robert commanded the huge beast, and obey it did.

Rearing back it's huge head and opened it's jaws. A fantastic glow lit up the surrounding area, the light carried by the falling rain until it formed a perfect glowing white circle penetrated by a glowing tower of light.

The attack had caused the water in Noa's Falls to illuminate.

Though beautiful the image lasted for only a moment before it was done and the blackness of the stormy night collapsed back in on the Duelists.

Kelly: 0000

Robert: 3000

It was over, Robert had won, it was a grueling Duel. The rain was slowly subsiding and Robert and Kelly locked eyes.

Roberts vivid green eyes matched the intensity of Kelly's Hazel eyes.

The two siblings began to walk towards each other, Separated for so long by familial mistakes and fear.

Kelly's long black cloak was dragging behind her, heavy with the water it had absorbed.

"Kel..." Robert spoke, his face pale and hands trembling with the cold that had soaked into him from the rain.

She started to pick up speed, nearly running she had almost reached Robert when she lost her footing and tumbled towards the edge of the outcropping.

"KELLY!" Robert dove for her and caught her right arm. Landing on his chest knocking the air out of his lungs Robert held on with everything he had even though every nerve ending in his chest was screaming out in pain.

Even though his body was all but screaming for oxygen he refused to let go.

Then he noticed it. He was sliding towards the edge himself, the constant exposure to moisture had caused the "bridge" to develop a fine layer of slime along the edges, and sadly his momentum combined with Kelly's weight was carrying them both over the edge.

'I can't let her go. Not again!' Roberts mind was screaming, ideas were flowing through his mind almost faster than he could register them.

Then he felt it.

Hands locked on his legs, a quick glance over his shoulder afforded him a view of Yugi, Sammantha, Joey and Ryu pulling on his legs trying to pull both himself and Kelly back up to safety.

"Don't worry man. We got ya. No way I'm letting you squeak out from our Duel!" Joey grunted as he pulled on Roberts legs.

"Trying to make me a widow before We're even Married?" Sammantha joked as they pulled Robert and Kelly to safety.

"Heh, Yeah Silly me, thinking I could get away with those things." Robert tossed off as his eyes fluttered shut and he passed out, Kelly gasping for breath beside him, holding her right shoulder with her left hand.
