Okay readers. Here right now is the love duel of this chapter between Dan, and Riley. Where could this clash of Dragon, and Burning Abyss lead to? ENJOY!
Dan, and Riley were getting ice cream with Dan having Rocky Road while Riley gets Vanilla. After that they watched the setting sun as they looked on. Dan smiled, "Well Riley good luck against Tate. He gotten pretty tough with the new Xyz Monsters, I gave him."
"Okay." Riley nodded, "But I should also be careful for you."
"Hm? Oh." Dan chuckled, "Actually, I've been eliminated."
"What?" Riley asked surprised.
Dan explained, "I was dueling Gong, and really hard with me using all 5 of the methods in the duel. But in the end he really overpowered me."
That made Riley looked shocked at this as she nodded, and said "I-I'm surprised you were beaten before."
"So you were looking forward to face me?" Dan asked her with a smile which made her blush but nodded, "Well nothing is stopping us from doing that right now isn't it?"
"H-Huh?" Riley asked surprised.
Dan was smiling gently, "Nothing is stopping us from dueling right now doesn't it?"
"Oh uh... No." Riley shook her head.
Dan smiled, "Well then let's get to dueling!"
Riley nodded as they activated their duel disks ready.

Meanwhile...
A young man was walking down a hall as he heard Sora's voice, "...Capture them."
"Good. See to it, then, Sora." a man's voice said as the young man walked in where Sora fully recovered was with a man wearing a purple suit, and a metallic plate on his forehead was there sitting on a chair.
"Thank you. I will." Sora smiled.
The man told him, "But first, I want you to go find somebody else with the help of some friends."
With that blue suited soldiers wearing helmets with different color gems on them walked in with the young man revealing himself to be a black spiky haired man, and having on a black blazar.
"The Obelisk Force. And Chazz Princeton!" Sora cried amazed.
"You, and Chazz are to locate a young girl. This is your top priorities, and this is the girl you two must find." the man told the two.
A hologram showing Celina appeared.
"Zuzu!?" Sora cried shocked.
Chazz rolled his eyes, "What are you talking about? That's not this Zuzu-whatchamacallit. That's Celina. The girl that shows trouble around the years she's around."
"For now that isn't your concerns. Find this girl, and bring her to me by whatever means necessary. And that includes taking down anyone who gets in your way by unleashing your full potential. This is your mission Sora, Chazz." the man instructed the two which they bowed.
Chazz smirked, "Don't get in the Chazz's way."
Sora glared as they walked off.
With Dan, and Riley...
"Okay Riley ya set?" Dan grinned as she nodded.
Dan looked over his four Decks, and gave Riley the option to chose. She answered, "The one where you used all five."
Dan looked surprised, but nodded as he placed his evolved Red-Eyes Deck in.

In the control room...
Declan, and Henrietta was raised up where Shay, and Yuto were waiting.
"So your Yuto." Declan said seeing him.
Yuto nodded, "And your Declan Akaba."
"Where's Riley?" Henrietta asked noticing the girl isn't with them.
"She's engaged in a duel Madame." Claude answered.
Declan asked, "Is she against a Fusion Dimension Warrior?"
"No. She's up against the one you had your eye on. Dan Kizami." Claude answered as a hologram screen popped up where Riley was dueling Dan, and he started with Pendulum.
"Run every analysis on Dan during this duel." Declan instructed, "I want to know how he's able to use all five methods during that duel with Gong."
"At once." Claude nodded as Declan sat in his chair.
Back at the Duel...
"Your using Pendulum in this duel." Riley said seeing that, "It's the one thing my Deck doesn't have."
"Yeah I know." Dan smiled, "Burning Abyss uses all methods but that."

"And when this card is summoned I can send a Red-Eyes in my Deck to the graveyard, and deal you damage equal to half that monster's points!" Dan grinned, "I send Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning to deal you 1250 points!"
The dragon fired a blast that hit Riley. (Riley: 2750)

"And now the effects of Alich, Calcab, and Graff activates." Riley told him, "Alich negates Black Comet Dragon's abilities until the end phase."
The dragon grayed.
"Well it's abilities wouldn't do anything here." Dan mentioned.
Riley nodded, "Calcab returns your set card to your hand."

Riley nodded before saying, "I activated Dante's ability. By using 1 overlay unit, I can send the top three cards of my deck to the graveyard, and he gains 500 attack points for each one."

"Alright! And now Black Comet's ability!" Dan grinned, "When this card is sent to the graveyard, I can summon Red-Eyes from my graveyard!"
Red-Eyes appeared roaring.
"And now I activate Hallohallo's Pendulum ability!" Dan called, "Once a turn, I roll a Dice, and Red-Eyes' level becomes whatever I rolled!"
That made Riley looked alarmed.
"Let's go! Ghost Dice!" Dan grinned as the dice rolled.
The dice rolled as it finished to a 3.
"So Red-Eyes level is now 3." Dan grinned as Red-Eyes shifted.

"So your summoning a level 6 Synchro Monster." Riley said seeing that.
Dan chuckled, "Yeah not really. I'm actually aiming for a level 7 Synchro Summon. But since their levels make 6 that's a problem."
"Level 7?" Riley asked confused.
Dan nodded, "Yes, and it starts with this. I use Delta Flyer's ability, and make Red-Eyes have 1 more level!"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon: (LV: 3 + 1 = 4)
Riley widen her eyes seeing that. Dan grinned, "And now I use level 3 Delta Flyer with level 4 Red-Eyes!"

This card's ATK must be greater than or equal to the ATK of that monster to activate and to resolve this effect.
At the control room Claude said, "Sir, Dan has Synchro Summoned."
"And easily." Declan added as the duel continued, "Delta Flyer, and Hallohallo made that possible, and easily. If he Ritual Summons, and then Xyz Summons Riley will more then she has now."
"And that confuses me." Shay told them, "If he knows to do all five, and so expertly how can he?"
"We know one thing is that he isn't from Xyz, Synchro, or Fusion Dimensions." Yuto told him, "And he done them as clear as day."
"Continue running the analysis." Declan instructed.
Back at the duel...
Riley looked at the Synchro Dragon in awe.
"And this dragon has a lot of bite!" Dan grinned, "Exploder Dragonwing attack Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss with King Storm!"
His dragon roared attacking the Xyz Dante.
"Huh why? His defense points are higher." Riley stated confused.
"That maybe true but Dragonwing's ability is why." Dan grinned as he took the damage (Dan: 3900), "Because since Dragonwing is battling a monster with less attack points your monster is destroyed, and you take damage equal to it's attack points!"
Riley looked surprised as Dante shattered. (Riley: 1750)
"Well since you done that Barbar, and Dante's abilities both activate." Riley told him, "Since Barbar was sent by banishing it with Alich, and Cir you take 300 points of damage for each card, I banished with it. And then Dante allows me to add Good & Evil to my hand from the graveyard."
Dan nodded as he took more damage. (Dan: 3000)
"Okay. Before anything else I activate Fusion Substitute's effect in my graveyard!" Dan grinned, "By banishing this card, and adding my Dragon back to my Extra Deck, I can draw 1 card."
Dan drew at that seeing it's Red-Eyes Spirit.
"Alright I'll be playing two cards down, and that's the end of this turn." Dan ended.
Back at the control room...
"He had a win there, and blew it." Henrietta told them. "He could've used Rain Bozu to increase his Synchro's attack points to win."
"No he didn't blew it." Declan told her, "Rain Bozu's Pendulum Ability may have scored him the victory, but he must've been aware that Riley has a lot of cards in her Extra Deck so it's points can't raise high enough for him to battle the Pilgrim Dante."
"Or he wants to have a fun match with Riley." Yuto guessed the second possibility.
"Either way this could be an interesting match." Shay told them.
Back at the duel...
Riley 2nd Turn:
"It's my turn." Riley said drawing, "And I activate Pot of Greed."
Pot of Greed
Normal Spell Card

"This card allows me to draw 2 more cards." Riley said drawing twice, "And now I'll activate Virgil's ability. By discarding a Pendulum Abyss from my hand, I can shuffle a card to your deck. I discard Farfa, and send your Rain Bozu back to your Deck."
Dan nodded as he shuffled his scale 8 monster.
"And now Farfa banishes your Exploder Dragonwing." Riley continued as the Synchro Dragon vanished.
"Nice Riley!" Dan grinned to her.
Riley blushed at that.
"But that doesn't mean you'll win easily." Dan grinned, "I activate my face-down, Red-Eyes Spirit, and Return of the Red-Eyes!"
Return of the Red-Eyes

If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can target 1 card on the field; send it to the Graveyard.
"The Burning Abyss' best Ritual Monster." Dan said seeing it before grinning, "I wonder what I can do against him."
"Well now Malacoda, and Virgil will attack both your monsters." Riley said as the two monster charged destroying both of the monster, "And I place 1 card face-down so that's the end of my turn which means Farfa's ability is no longer in effect, and Dragonwing's is brought back to your field."
Dan's Synchro monster reappeared in place.

"And now Archfiend attack Malacoda!" Dan called as his fiend destroyed Riley's but due to Synchro Barrier she didn't took damage.
"I activate Malacoda's ability." Riley told him, "Since it's sent from the field to the graveyard, I can send a card on the field to the graveyard. I pick Return of the Red-Eyes."
His trap vanished.
"And since it isn't destroyed you can't play it's other ability." Riley added.
With Declan, Henrietta, Yuto, and Shay...
"Wait his trap? Not his Xyz Monster?" Henrittea asked confused.
Declan explained, "Dark Anthelion maybe a big threat, but he can use his trap to summon something stronger in Dark Anthelion's place."

"A benefit?" Riley asked confused.
"Yeah! When Dark Anthelion is destroyed, I can place him in my Pendulum Zone!" Dan grinned.
Riley widen her eyes, "Wait Dark Anthelion is a Pendulum monster?"
"I now use Scale 10 Dark Anthelion Dragon to set the Pendulum Scale!" Dan grinned as he placed the card on as his dragon rose, "So now I can summon monsters that are level 3 through 9 at the same time!"
With them...
"Wait what?" Henrietta asked shocked.
"An Xyz Monster as a Pendulum Card?" Shay asked shocked.
Declan's eyes gave off a glint, "Interesting..."
At the duel...
Riley looked shocked at this.
"Okay what's next Riley?" Dan asked with a smile.
Hearing that she said, "Oh uh... I activate Monster Reborn."
Malacoda rose up again.
"And I activate the Equip Spell, Ritual Weapon." Riley told him.
Ritual Weapon
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to a Level 6 or lower Ritual Monster. It gains 1500 ATK and DEF.
Malacoda: (ATK: 2700 + 1500 = 5200)
"5200?" Dan asked shocked.
"Malacoda attacks directly!" Riley called as Malacoda charged.
Dan called, "I play Damage Diet!"
Damage Diet
Normal Trap Card
Halve all damage you take this turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; halve all effect damage you take this turn. (You cannot halve the same damage twice with this effect.)
"This reduces all damage I take this turn in half!" Dan called as Malacoda slashed him. (Dan: 0400)
'Nearly got him...' Riley thought, "Okay I end my turn."
Dan: 0400
Riley: 1750
Dan 4th Turn:
Dan then started to chuckle before he started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Riley asked hearing him laugh confused.
Dan smiled, "This duel is a blast! You are a great opponent Riley!"
"Y-You think this duel is fun?" Riley asked him.
"Well yeah. Dueling is about having a good time, and live through the risks, and such of dueling! And you can't tell what will happen next which makes it great." Dan smiled to her.
Riley looked at him surprised.
"And I'll show it on it! Draw!" Dan drew as he sees Cup of Ace, "I'll play Cup of Ace!"
Cup of Ace
Normal Spell Card
Toss a coin: ● Heads: Draw 2 cards. ● Tails: Your opponent draws 2 cards.
"I flip a coin, and if it's a heads, I can draw 2 cards. If not you draw." Dan said as she nodded as he tossed a coin, and checked, "Heads!"
With that he draw twice seeing Mystical Space Typhoon, and Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon.
"And now I use my new Scale, and Pendulum Summon! Come out Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!"
The dragon appeared roaring.
Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon
Dark Type
Level 7
Dragon/Gemini
ATK: 2400
DEF: 2000
This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect.
● If damage calculation is performed involving this card, at the end of the Battle Phase: You can inflict damage to your opponent equal to this card's original ATK. You can only use this effect of "Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon" once per turn.
Riley looked up at it.
"And next is Mystical Space Typhoon!" Dan called.
Mystical Space Typhoon
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; destroy that target.
"This destroys a Spell, or Trap card on the field!" Dan called as Riley's equip spell shattered.
Malacoda: (ATK: 5200 - 1500 = 2700)
"Well it's still not strong enough." Riley told him.
Dan grinned, "Ya sure about that?"
"What?" Riley asked confused.
Dan called, "I activate Dark Anthelion's Pendulum Ability! Your Malacoda's attack points are cut in half!"
Riley looked shocked looking up at Malacoda. (ATK: 2700 / 2 = 1350)
"And next I'll summon Red-Eyes Flare for his gemini ability!" Dan grinned, "So now at the end of the Battle Phase you take damage equal to his attack points!"
Riley looked shocked.
"And now Black Flare Dragon attack Malacoda!" Dan called as his Dragon fired a blast at Malacoda destroying it as Riley cried out.
Dan: 0400
Riley: 0000
Dan wins the duel!
"Riley lost?" Henrietta asked shocked.
"Compared to what Dan put up with, I say he's lucky this time." Shay told them, "If Riley didn't destroy Dark Anthelion he wouldn't had a chance."
"Along with Cup of Ace's coin toss ability." Yuto answered, "Next time they duel it might be in Riley's favor."
"It might." Declan agreed, "Claude?"
"The analysis is complete sir." Claude answered to him.
Declan nodded, "Good. I better take a look."
Back at the duel...
"That was a great duel!" Dan grinned helping Riley up.
Riley was helped as she said, "Thanks... Dan."
"No worries." Dan smiled to him, "Next time though it might be in your favor."
She nodded hearing that before looking around, and placed a kiss on his lips surprising him. She pulled back with a blush, and said "Thanks again."
That was before she ran out in embarrassment.
Dan was frozen as he placed his hand on his lips asking, "Was that what they call destiny?"
With them...
Riley's kiss have shocked Henrietta, and Declan while the two Xyzians were surprised.
"She has feelings for Dan?" Henrietta asked shocked.
Declan snapped out of his stupor, and walked to the elevator, "Claude give me the analysis in a while. I need to talk to my sister."
"Yes sir." Claude nodded as Declan left.
Well there's the love duel. Next time they duel it will be different. Next time is the start of the Battle Royal's top start, and the start of the Fusion Dimension's attack. Be sure to review!
