ANOTHER CHAPTER! Four things to say here. The first thing is that I changed Battle Footballer's appearance somewhat. That's because his regular appearance looks worse than pretty much everything Thing number two: THANK YOU REVIEWERS! Or more specifically:
A Friend of Yours: Really? That seems a little odd. Of course, I experience it occasionally, too. Try imagining Danny and friends in anime style, or Jaden and friends in Hartman style.
Number Three: I've been forgetting this, so...Danny Phantom, Yu-gi-oh, all of these caeds besides the ones I make up, and Charmin are all copyright theri respective owners, not me. Cards I make up? COPYRIGHT ME.
Finally: Betcha can't guess what kind of deck Sam uses!

"Good job, little brother!" said Jazz, excitedly, a few minutes after his duel. "Even though I had no clue what was going on most of the time…"
"I gotta admit, Danny, that was pretty cool!" said Tucker, "punching" Danny's fist as a sign of friendship. "Although, if I had been facing him, he'd of gone down much sooner."
"Yeah, that's why you flunked the pre-placement exams," said Sam.
"Hey!" shouted Jaden, who was with his friends, who were all coming up behind Danny as Tucker steamed. "You beat Crowler! Not many people have done that!"
"Yeah, you sure live up to the Fenton name!" said Atticus, hopping up and down for no apparent reason.
"Yes, the Fentons, believing in ghosts and making fools of themselves in public," mumbled you-know-who.
"So you don't believe in ghosts?" asked Danny. "Well, if you're going to live in this town, that'll change soon, believe you me…"
"Oh, there you are!" shouted one Dr. Vellian Crowler, who had regained consciousness and was holding an ice pack on his head. "Congratulations on besting me, m'boy…it's too bad, though…"
"What is?" asked Danny.
"That I'll have to turn you in to the authorities, of course!"
Everyone gasped, except Danny, who shouted out "WHAT?"
"Counterfeiting cards is illegal, young man, and those cards you used against me were clearly not legit. Sure, they looked and acted like the real things, but they simply cannot be real cards, as I have a PhD in dueling…yet I have never heard of them! Besides that, I doubt Pegasus would base cards on some anonymous high-schoolers from a small town that only really exists because of some silly nonsense about ghosts!"
"Those cards are very much real!" yelled Danny. "Why don't you call Pegasus and ask him yourself, O great wise one!" he finished off sarcastically.
Another collective gasp. –This kid's got some nerve!- thought Alexis.
"I believe I will, you smart-mouthed brat!" shouted Crowler, removing his ice pack and whipping out a cell-phone. He pressed a button, meaning Pegasus was clearly on speed-dial. Two rings later, the phone was answered.
"Hello!" said a boisterous, cheery voice on the other line. "This is the residence of Maximillion Pegasus! How have you been, Crowler-boy, hmm?"
"Fine, thank you, sir. Sir, I-"
"Been getting enough sleep? Have you been following that diet I recommended you?"
"Sir!" snapped Crowler suddenly. Then, he calmed down. "I was just in a duel with a young applicant, and I suspect that most of his cards are entirely made up, counterfeit, if you will…"
"My, that is serious…" said Pegasus, grimly. Then, his voice brightened again. "Why don't you describe the cards, and I'll see what I can or can't confirm them, hmm?"
"Well, he had a card called Ectoplasmic Energy Sample…there was a gothic girl called Sam…some kind of Dark Dragon, amulet…"
"Ah, yes!" shouted Pegasus. "Those are all real, and created especially by me!"
"Say wha?" said Crowler, as the kids around him started to snicker.
"Yes. They haven't officially been released yet, but they will be soon. I'm thinking of calling the Booster pack 'Amity's Heroes Unleashed". Nice name, am I right? Anyway, since Amity Park was the town that inspired my cards, I thought I should advance one of its citizens some of the cards!"
"But…but…" stammered Crowler, sweating. A glance over to Danny revealed a smirking young lad, the look in his eyes saying what his mouth wasn't: I told you so!
"But, why Fenton-boy?" asked Pegasus, finishing what might have been the doctor's sentence. "Well, he's very special, that lad. Let's leave it at that…oops, gotta go! See you at that charity ball!" With that, and the click of a receiver, the line went dead…
…And Dr. Vellian Crowler fainted.
"Is he okay?" asked Syrus after a few seconds of silence. Bastion bent down and began to examine Dr. Crowler. He checked his pulse…his breathing…felt his ribcage for any broken bones…lifted up the head…and smiled.
"He'll be just fine. Normally I'd suspect head trauma, but in this case, I think he's just fainted."
"Why no head trauma?" asked Jaden.
"He fell on his icepack," responded Bastion.
"Okay then, let's check out the arena!" shouted Tucker, running back toward his seat. The others followed in an effort to stop him, but to no avail, as he quickly jumped over the rail and landed somewhat gracefully on the ground below, rushing over to the giant wires and getting on one knee to examine them. As the others bent over the rail, Jazz shouted down to him.
"Tucker, what do you think you're doing?"
"I'm trying to figure out what those cables are for," responded Tucker. "They obviously don't regulate life point counts or holograms…Duel Disks do that…so, what?"
"Eh, they're probably there just for show," said Chazz, walking in with a box of Chinese food. Suddenly, Sam pulled herself up into the air, did a front flip, letting go of the rail and landing next to the African-American boy with a passion for everything electronic.
"Tucker, if we get caught down here, we're going to be in big trouble!"
"Like we are usually?"
"I'd rather not be in trouble for once, wouldn't you?" asked Sam.
"Don't hold your breath," was the sharp retort.
"That boy is going to get himself killed someday…" commented Bastion.
"If he keeps making Sam mad, make that today," responded Danny.
Suddenly, Tucker smirked. "Hey Sam…how about a duel?"
"Sweet!" shouted Jaden, plopping into the nearest seat. "A duel!"
"Aw, c'mon Jaden, do you wanna get caught or something?" lamented Sy.
"Well, if we get caught, at least we'll be watching a duel."
As Syrus sweatdropped, Alexis spoke up. "Guys, Sam hasn't even accepted yet-"
"That reminds me!" shouted Atticus. "I never got her number!"
Back in the arena, Sam looked…perplexed. "Why do you wanna duel me?" she asked.
"To prove you're not the hotshot that you think you are, giving unwanted advice and acting like some omniscient goddess of the cards!"
"When have I ever acted like that?" Sam asked, confused.
"Just 30 minutes ago, duh!" Tucker said.
"Sigh…fine, if it'll get you to shut up…could someone toss me my Duel Disk? It's in my backpack."
"I got it." Said Danny, running over to Sam's former seat and grabbing her backpack as everyone else settled in their seats. Shuffling through quickly, his eyes widened, then retreated into a "Why me?" position. "I'm pretty sure this is yours…" he grumbled, pulling out her duel disk…which caused everyone to gasp.
Her duel disk was completely black, shaped to look like a bat. Though most of it looked like the Batman signal without the yellow oval, the wings looked like real bat wings. Danny tossed it to her and sat down, and Sam easily caught it, threw it on her wrist, and activated it all in one smooth motion. Upon activation, the wings whirred and clicked together, forming into much the normal Duel Disk shape, only in the style of the old Duel Disks.
"Um…impressive…" said Tucker, sweat-dropping a bit as he pulled his own Duel Disk out of his backpack.
"How about this?" asked Sam. "You'll start with 8000 life points, and I'll start with 4000, 4 cards in my hand, 5 after my first draw. Deal?"
"That's exactly what I mean!" shouted Tucker. "You think you're so much better than everyone!"
"No I don't!" said Sam. "I'm probably only barely above average, if that much. I just happen to know that your deck stinks."
"Grr…I'm gonna…NO! 4000 each, six cards, like usual! You're going first!" Tucker shouted as he activated his Duel Disk.
"Alright, just let me switch a card in my deck with my side deck, okay?"
"Fine!" said Tucker, finishing his deck's shuffling and placing it in his Duel Disk. Sam took a card out of her deck, and then placed a card in her deck. She shuffled it and put it in her Duel Disk as well. The life points each set at 4000…the holo-imagers activated…the duel was on!
"Well, it's pretty safe to say she uses Dark monsters…Fiends, perhaps…Darkness is one of the most common types in the game," commented Bastion.
Danny felt movement near him. Glancing over to Jazz, he saw she had a notebook out and was writing something down. He looked over to see neatly scrawled words: Darkness Common…Types: Fiend, Zombie, Machine, Warrior.
"Are you…taking notes?" he asked.
"It is a great way to understand the psyche of someone who plays this game, and the mythology and legends behind the game as well. Also, if I ever change my mind about Duel Monsters, (Which really isn't likely to happen!) then I'll have something to study."
"Okay then," said Sam, drawing a card, "I'll start off simply. One monster in facedown defense mode." With that, a card appeared on the field, as per usual. "End turn."
"That's it? Pathetic!" said Tucker. "Allow me to show you a real play! I summon Guardian of the Throne Room! (1650/1600)" And a giant machine appeared. It had no legs, but treads instead. It had no visible eyes, its golden armor casting a shadow over its face. Three large missiles were on its back. "Now, my great Guardian, destroy whatever pathetic monster may be under there!" Tucker shouted.
With that, all three missiles fired, though a split second after, a hatch in the machine's back opened and three more took their place. The homing devices on their tips started blinking; intent on blasting whatever creature was under the card…the creature under the card revealed itself…
It was a long wall of some leathery substance, designed to look somewhat like bat's wings. A purple-skinned head was in the middle of the wall, red hair and scar across the eye completing the spooky picture. Suddenly the missiles stopped in midair, and an undulation spread across them as they slowly disappeared, as if they were a ripple in the water…all of a sudden, they reappeared right in front of Tucker!
KABOOOOM!
Tucker slowly looked up as his life points fell to 3800. "What happened?" asked Tucker.
"That was my Wall of Illusion, (1000/1850) whose defense was clearly stronger than your monster's attack. Oh, and by the way…any monster that battles with my Wall is returned to its owner's hand."
"Say what?" shouted Tucker, even as twisting auras of red, black and gray twisted out of the Wall's eyes, slowly causing the Guardian of the Throne Room to disappear. "Grr…fine, I'll end my turn."
"That was a good move by Sam!" shouted Atticus.
"Yeah," said Danny. "She obviously knew that Tucker couldn't resist attack what he thought must surely be a weak defense monster…but not only was the monster strong, but it had a great effect!"
"Hey, Danny?" asked Sy. "You've seen Sam duel before, right? Well, what's her strategy?"
"Hmm…" thought Danny. "Well, you're right. I've seen her duel at least a dozen times…but, I'm still not entirely sure what her strategy is…"
"Alright then," said Sam, drawing. "I'll place another monster in defense mode…and then I'll play the spell card Overprotective!" With that, a card appeared on the field. It had a Panther Warrior on it, clearly getting ready to attack a Whirlwind Prodigy…except his face, which was looking very scared, up to a Penumbral Soldier Lady, who was standing in front of the Whirlwind Prodigy, looking very angry. The Whirlwind Prodigy had straight lines for his eyes and mouth, and a sweat drop on his head.
"What does…that do?" asked Tucker, trying not to laugh at the design on the card.
"I select either the monster the face-up monster with the highest defense on my side of the field, or the face-up monster with the highest attack. You cannot attack any monsters until that one is destroyed. I choose my only face-up monster, Wall of Illusion. Then, I'll end my turn."
"Grr…" said Tucker once more; obviously angry he'd been put into this situation. He drew a card, bringing his hand up to seven. "Battle Footballer (1000/2100), in defense mode. End turn." As he said this, a robotic football player with spikes on his pads and helmet appeared.
"My turn? Okay then!" said Sam, drawing a card. "I'll Flip-Summon my Medusa Worm (500/600)!" she said, as her facedown monster revealed itself. It was a long purple worm with spikes where its head would be. Suddenly, a purple laser shot from a small hole near its bottom spike! It struck Battle Footballer, who turned to stone at its touch! Then, BF broke into a bunch of pieces! Tucker looked awestruck, so Sam started explaining. "When Medusa Worm is flipped face-up, its effect destroys one monster on the field. Now, Medusa, attack!"
"Yipe!" Tucker yelled, shortly before Medusa Worm's spikes drove through him, reducing his life points to 3300.
"Now, Medusa Worm, flip back down!" Sam shouted, and Medusa Worm did so.
"Hey, that's cheating!" Tucker shouted.
"You flaunt your ignorance. Medusa Worm can flip face-down once a turn," said Sam. "Everyone who isn't obsessed with only one type of monster knows that!"
"Shut up!" shouted Tucker, drawing a card. He looked at it and smiled. Then he grabbed a different card from his hand. "I cast Polymerization in order to fuse my Giga-Tech Wolf (1200/1400) and my Cannon Soldier (1400/1300) together in order to form my Labyrinth Tank (2400/2400)!" With that, a giant, blue-armored multi-drill (seven red drills, to be precise) appeared upon the field.
"I see. Are you going to attack with it?" commented Sam.
"I'm not stupid! I'm using it as an offensive wall. I place one card facedown and turn it over to you." So, the first facedown spell/trap appeared.
"I'd say you are pretty stupid. With Medusa Worm's effect, it won't matter how high that machine's power is." She drew her next card. "Time for me to stop going easy on you.
"She's been going easy?" shouted Syrus.
"Very much so…" said Danny, gulping a little.
"I'll summon White Magician Pikeru (1200/0) in attack mode!" Sam continued. With that, a very cute little girl in white clothing and a sheep-like hat appeared. She danced around happily a little before settling down.
"Well, that was the last thing I was expecting," said Bastion.
"Hmm…I think I see her strategy," thought Chazz out loud, before popping a piece of pork with some rice into his mouth.
"Sam, I'm not sure that belongs in a gothic girl's deck," commented Tucker.
"Stow it, techno-geek, before I make her put a whooping on you. Now, I play the spell card, Last Will!" A giant scroll appeared, and a feather dipped in ink. The feather wrote some words in a foreign text, and then disappeared. The scroll rolled up. "Now, I'll flip summon my Medusa Worm again!" Sam said.
"Falling right into my trap: Divine Wrath!" Tucker shouted, his facedown trap lifting up, even as the purple laser shot toward Labyrinth Tank. "Now, by discarding a card from my hand," and he discarded Guardian of the Throne Room, "When a monster tries to use its effect, I can negate that effect!" The laser fizzled out just inches from the Tank. "Then, I can destroy the monster!"
"Dumb move," mumbled Chazz up in the stands, even as lightning flashed and struck Medusa Worm, ironically turning it into stone.
"Falling right into my trap…or should I say, my spell: Last Will! Now, I can choose one monster in my deck with an attack of 1500 or less and summon it…and I choose Bowganian (1300/1000)!" Suddenly, the scroll opened up again, and a spherical monster that was mostly an eye floated out. It had two silver arms, one holding a crossbow. "See, I knew you had that card in your deck. You may have stopped buying Booster Packs a long time ago because 'Your Deck was so perfect', but you got Divine Wrath in a trade. You didn't, however, get Last Will, so I knew you wouldn't know what it did, and foolishly would probably use Divine Wrath to-"
"I GET IT!" shouted tucker. "Oh, well. It's not like you can hurt me with that Bow-whatchamacallit."
"Flaunting your ignorance for the 3rd time," Sam said, slowly shaking her head. "I play the spell card Dark Snake Syndrome!" Tucker felt something on his arm. Looking down, he saw two tattoos that looked like black snakes, one on each arm! Looking back up though, he saw Sam had them on her arms too. "It goes like this, Tucker. During my next standby phase, these snakes will start to slither. The first time they slither; my first standby phase, they will do 200 damage to each of us. The next time, 400. Then 800. Etcetera."
"Well, if I finish the duel quickly, then that won't matter!" said Tucker.
"With one card in your hand? I don't think so. I cast Dark Room of Nightmare!"
With those words, the field around Tucker and Sam became very dark, a darkness light itself couldn't penetrate. Ghosts and vile creatures unknown floated in the darkness as bloodied screams and disturbing howls that could only be demons sounded somewhere deep within the heart of the shadow. Looking around, you realized how aptly named the card was: this was definitely where nightmares came from.
"Just as I thought," said Chazz, one of the only two people in the room unfazed by the Room of Nightmare.
"W-w-w-what is it?" asked Jaden, his teeth chattering like a teenage girl cheerleader on caffeine talks.
"You'll see," said Chazz. "Mushu?" he asked Alexis.
"Y-y-y-y-your darkness d-d-d-doesn't scare me, s-s-s-Sam!" Tucker shouted, somehow believing that someone might believe him.
"Oh, doesn't it? Too bad. I end my turn with one card facedown."
Tucker drew a card. "I play Pot of Greed!" Tucker shouted, throwing the card into the Graveyard and drawing two cards. "Followed by Research on the Pot of Greed! Now I can draw two more!" And he did so. "Now, I'll summon Heavy Mech Support Platform (500/500)!" And a large ship appeared, with a cockpit in a diamond shape with a fin in the back, and two rocket boosters, one on each side, and a bridge connecting them. "Then I'll play Machine Duplication! I can choose one Machine type monster with 500 attack points or less and summon up to two more from my deck! Come on out!" The HMSP glowed a bit, and then melted into three HMSP.
"Then I cast Tribute Doll! Now I can tribute one monster and Special Summon a Level Seven monster! So, down with Mech Support and up with Launcher Spider! (2200/2500)" Even as he spoke, dark, deliberate smoke came and swallowed up #1, replacing it with a ginormous mechanical spider with an attitude. And rocket launchers. Big, dangerous, rocket launchers.
"Now for the effect of my support platforms!" Tucker continued. "They're Union monsters! By equipping one to a Machine, I can increase that machine's attack and defense by 500…so, start equipping!" Launcher spider jumped on top of #2, his rocket launchers connecting to pipes and his legs settling in hatches. His attack changed to 2700 and his defense to 3000. Labyrinth Tank flipped upside down and attached to the HMSP #3's underside. Its attack and defense changed to 2900 each. "Now, Launcher Spider might not be able to attack because of Tribute Doll's effect, but Labyrinth Tank can, and I'm getting sick of waiting around, so I don't care if it goes to the Fusion Deck, ATTACK THAT WALL NOW!"
The platform's boosters engaged, the machine thrusting forward as all seven drills spun…"I activate my trap card, Mirror Force!" Sam shouted. A mirrored wall sprung up, and Labyrinth Tank hit it, and was sent flying backwards, colliding with Launcher Spider. One large boom later, both HMSP were "dead". "You're just lucky those Union monsters were the only things destroyed," Sam said.
"I'll…end my turn…" Tucker said, stunned that his combo had failed.
Danny looked over to Jazz, who, sweating, was scribbling the last of Tucker's combo in her notebook. A small note in the margin said: Sometimes immense combos can be brought down with a single card. –Ain't that the truth…- Danny thought.
Sam drew a card and added it to her hand. "Now that my draw phase is over," she said, looking up, "My standby phase begins. That means that little Pikeru here heals me of 400 life points for every monster on my side of the field, giving me 1200 life points for a total of 5200." Pikeru waved her pink magic wand around, and, along with a few sparkles, Sam gained 1200 life points. "Then, my Dark Snake Syndrome goes to work…" even as she said it, the snakes started slithering, and a light glow surrounded them. Tucker thought he felt a light pinch. When the tattoos stopped, Sam was at 5000 life points and Tucker was at 3100.
Suddenly, a black skull flew out of the shadows of nightmare…and through Tucker! "GYAAH!" he shouted as his life points fell to 2800. "What the heck was that?" he shouted.
"My Dark Room of Nightmare. Each time you take Effect Damage, it deals you 300 more points of damage. It doesn't include itself in that, thank goodness for you. Oh, and my Bowganian would like a word with you, Tucker…"
"You can't attack me!" Tucker shouted. "I have monsters on the field, and they're way stronger than that Bow-amajig!"
"Who said anything about attacking?" Sam asked. "Bowganian deals 600 points of damage to you each standby phase of mine."
"SAY WHAT NOW?" Tucker shouted, even as Bowganian shot his bow, the arrow going through Tucker and sending him to his knees, and his life points to 2200.
"Oh, and since that was a special effect…" Sam said, as Tucker started getting up. Nightmare's shadows finished for her, another ghost phasing thorough him and sending Tucker to the ground, face-first. "I end my turn with a face-down card." Sam said.
"I knew it," said Chazz, as Tucker struggled to get up. "Sam's strategy is all about healing her life points and damaging her opponents, all without ever even attacking. It was plain to see as soon as she summoned that which seemed out of place, namely White Magician Pikeru."
"Believe me, that's not her only strategy…" Danny said, foreshadowingly.
Tucker finally got up, drawing a card. "Alright," he said, a little weakly. "I can use these three cards in a nice little combo…I'll play Soul Release, which will allow me to send up to 5 cards in one of our graveyards out of play…but I only need to remove three…my Heavy Mech Support Platforms!" The "souls" of the three machines suddenly flew out of Tucker's discard slot into his removed from play slot. "Then, I play Return from the Different Dimension! Now, I can summon as many monsters of mine as possible that have been removed from play!" All three HMSP suddenly appeared back on the field. "Finally, I sacrifice two of my Support Platforms in order to summon PERFECT MACHINE KING! (2700/1500)"
As Tucker threw down the card and two of the platforms disappeared, a Megazord-lookalike in white and red appeared upon the field. "Perfect Machine King gains 500 points for every Machine on the field besides itself!" Tucker shouted. True to his word, its attack points went up to 4200! "But why don't we add 500 defense points, too? I equip Heavy Mech Support Platform to Perfect Machine King!" Although usually the machine would get on the platform, this time it was the platform attaching to the machine! The cockpit folded over PMK's chest, the back rocket launchers folded on his back, and the main rocket boosters each attached to one arm! All that, and its defense went up to 2000.
"Now, this'll cause my King to lose a few attack points…but it'll be worth it to finally get rid of your wall! Go, my Spider! Attack Wall of Illusion with Rocket Launcher Randomizer!" At its masters command, the Launcher Spider shot out 12 rockets, which exploded on contact after some random flying and acrobatics. It destroyed both the Wall of Illusion and the Overprotective card! Then, the dust suddenly halted, as if time had stopped. It then suddenly flew toward Launcher Spider, completely consuming him! Machine King's attack went down to 3700! "Now, my King, attack and destroy that White Magician with Cybernetic Crusher!"
Machine King flew forward, boosted by the…boosters. His fist started to come down…Pikeru looked very scared…WHAM…Sam now has 3500 life points. "Labyrinth Tank, attack Bowganian!" The tank slowly moved forward, drilling all the way…then there was a sickening SKREEEE-KTTTCCHHH-BZZZ as Bowganian was shredded and Sam's life points fell to 2400. "Your turn," said Tucker. "By the way, I've done the calculations, and it'll be 3 more of your turns before that Snake/Nightmare combo can finish me off…and you've only got one before my machines bring you down!"
The dark-haired raven known as Sam drew…immediately, the snake tattoos started slithering…Sam and Tucker each took 400 points of damage (Tucker thought it felt like a slap on the arm)…Tucker took 300 more as a ghostly apparition flew through him…Sam looked at her card. She smiled. "Don't feel bad, Tucker…I would've won, even if I hadn't drawn this card." Before Tucker could object, she played the card I had just drawn. "I play Dian Keto the Cure Master!"
Immediately, a green-haired sage appeared beside her, chanting some sort of spell. "This gives me 1000 extra life points!" Sam shouted, as the sage finished the spell. Immediately he disappeared as Sam's life points rose by 1000. "Then I'll cast Monster Reborn to resurrect your Giga-Tech Wolf to my side of the field!" The wolf appeared, looking much like a wolf with mechanical parts here and there.
"How will that help you?" asked Tucker. "His attack is way lower than any of my monsters, and I happen to know that he doesn't have any effect!"
"Yes, but his attack is equal to your remaining life points. I've had this card, which I transferred from my side deck, in my hand since the beginning of the duel. I didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary. All I have to do is pay 1000 life points," she said, even as the thousand life points she got from Dian Keto disappeared. "Then I can use this: System Down!"
As the spell card appeared on the field, Tucker's machines suddenly stiffened. Then, as their eyes and cockpits and any other circuitry that was showing dimmed into darkness, they fell limp, falling into pieces on the ground and exploding. "Wha…what happened to my technology?" Tucker asked.
"My System Down card removes from play all machine-type monsters on your side of the field," she said, simply. "This is why you need to know what kind of cards are out there, Tucker. This is why you need to keep buying booster packs and changing your deck, never assuming it to be perfect. This…is fitting and ironic, isn't it? Giga-Tech Wolf, take your former master down!"
As Tucker stood in awe, the great beast ran forward at an incredible speed. He finally screamed as Giga-Tech Wolf jumped in the air, ready to strike…and disappeared. "Huh?" he asked.
"I'm not cruel." Said Sam, who had deactivated her duel disk. "I could have summoned several other monsters from your Graveyard, with more attack points. I could've let that wolf finish you off. But, I think we all know who won here." Tucker smiled.
"Great duel, guys!" shouted Jaden from up in the stands. "Hey, Tuck, keep trying, buddy! I'm sure you'll make it next year!"
"Oh…what happened?" came a voice from out in the hall.
"I'd suggest we get out of here, and fast!" shouted Atticus, leading the stampede out of the dueling arena.
MEANWHILE, AT THE STATELY PEGASUS MANSION…
Pegasus watched the group run off screen and out of the arena, chuckling to himself. –Such an entertaining duel! Good thing I had those security cameras installed!- he thought. The camera zoomed in on Danny. –Yes…like I said before, Fenton-boy really is something special.- Turning off the TV, he swiveled around in his chair to face his desk and picked up a magic card called Ghost Portal. There were only two in the world. Danny had one, and Pegasus had the other. As he read the text on the card, he gave a small, but truly proud smile.
-Very special indeed…-

So ends another chapter! Man, Sam pulverized Tucker, didn't she? And Tucker's deck...was pretty lame, huh? Sure, it ogt a couple good combos off, but overall, he didn't know how to handle his own cards. As Sam said, fitting and ironic. Review Please!
EDITED 9/15/06: Made a two-letter typo that changed the entire chapter. Long story...
EDITED 9/24/06: Return from the Differnet Dimension is now offically a real card. Research on the Pot of Greed belongs to WolfGeneral.
