It had been years since Ryan's duel with Zane and he was currently in his room with Molly AKA The Maiden in Love.

"So Molly... Why are you here?" Ryan asked her.

"What do you mean?" Molly asked.

"You might be here for an important task." Ryan answered.

"I can't think of anything, I'm here because I want to stay with you." Molly smiled kissing his cheek.

Ryan blushed at that. Molly giggled before blushing. "You let me stay remember?"

"I didn't know how I done that... But I was so close to you." Ryan blushed.

"Well, however you did it I'm glad." Molly smiled.

Ryan smiled back to her. Molly paused before her eyes widened. "Can I see your deck? Pretty please."

"Uh which one?" Ryan asked.

"Dark World which is my Honor Student Deck, or the Deck that... My parents gave me Invoked?" Ryan asked her looking down.

Molly hugged him before smiling. "On second thought... do you trust me?"

Ryan looked to her before nodding. Molly took his hands before closing her eyes as a flash enveloped the two of them before fading to reveal they had disappeared.


Meanwhile...

They appeared somewhere as Ryan blinked looking around.

"Come on." Molly smiled offering her hand.

Ryan looked to see Molly turned into her true form as he blushed before taking her hand. She carefully led him before shuddering as they approached a large gate.

"Brron? Brron I know you're in there." Molly said nervously.

"Brron?" Ryan asked hearing that.

"Come right in."

The gate slowly opened. Molly squeezed Ryan's hand nervously as they walked through the gate.

"Molly?" Ryan asked confused as they walked together.

"I... don't normally like coming here." Molly admitted as she looked around uncertainly before approaching a group of fiends. "Excuse me... is Brron in the castle?"

"Where else would he be?" one of them rasp out.

Molly flinched. "Sorry."

She turned to Ryan. "Come on... I want to get this part over with quickly."

"What's going on?" Ryan asked her taking her shoulders.

"This... I brought you to the Duel Monsters Spirit World Ryan. So you could meet your monsters for real." Molly answered.

"Huh?" Ryan asked surprised as they walked in where Dark World monsters were conversing with each other along with several Invoked creatures.

Molly looked shocked. "Aleister? What are you doing here?"

"Huh?" a white spellcaster with purple hair turned over, "Maiden! I didn't know you would be here!"

"I met someone special... Ryan." Molly said turning to him and smiling.

Ryan looked amazed as Aleister said, "Ryan! Well this is a surprise. We always did stood up for you since your parents gave us to you."

"I'm... not dreaming am I?" Ryan asked in shock.

"No, this is the Duel Monster's Spirit World." Aleister answered.

Ryan looked amazed looking around, "Amazing... I didn't ever think of coming here."

"Well, it's clear who the favorite is." mentioned a voice from the other side of the room.

Hearing that the three looked over. Molly's eyes widened before she nervously kneeled. "King Brron, my apologies. We didn't see you."

(A/N (Ulrich362): Maiden in Love/Molly isn't a Dark World monster but she's in the Dark World castle and is somewhat scared of Brron.)

Brron trapped in chains walked forward. Ryan blinked in awe seeing him.

"I was just speaking with Ryan." Aleister noted calmly.

"I can see that." Brron told him, "And it's clear what his favorite is."

"Grapha?" Ryan asked.

"Grapha?" Aleister asked in surprise.

"I think that's what he means." Ryan said helping Molly stand up.

"Oh... no I meant how you clearly prefer Aleister and his... creatures to the power of the Dark World." Brron stated coldly.

"Neither." Ryan said simply.

"Ryan..." Molly whispered hearing that.

"You must have some preference. Our fighting tactics are completely different." Brron pointed out.

"Yeah that's true. But playing favorites isn't what I want to do. I treat all of my cards equally, and depend on each, and everyone of them like any other card. You all are more special to me then any other card I have not as regular cards but as friends, and even... family." Ryan said before looking down.

Hearing that Aleister and Brron exchanged a surprised look.

"Ryan... is there anything we can do for you?" Aleister asked him.

"Let's all treat each other as equals, no talking about favorites, and work together." Ryan answered.

Molly smiled before pausing. "Ryan... can I ask you something?"

Ryan turned to him.

"Maybe... maybe we could help your goals?" Molly suggested. "That way you can reach them quicker?"

Ryan smiled before placing his hands on her shoulders, "Thanks Molly."

Molly smiled before quickly kissing him. "You're welcome."

Ryan blushed before asking, "Can we head back?"

"Ok." Molly smiled. "Just close your eyes."

Ryan told Brron, and Aleister, "See you two on the other side."

They nodded before a flash of light filled the room only to fade with Ryan and Molly having vanished again.


Meanwhile...

They appeared back in Duel Academy as Ryan opened his eyes Molly back in her student form. Almost immediately someone was knocking on the door. "Ryan, Molly? Are you two in here?"

"Who is it?" Ryan asked.

"Celina... we have a problem."

"What problem?" Ryan asked her.

She walked into the room.

"You heard about what happened to Mamoru?" Celina asked.

"He had retreated." Ryan answered.

"Apparently the Ritual Dimension is stronger than he thought, and if the reports are accurate... they might be trying to reach the Standard Dimension before us." Celina told him. "If those two get together it could make our goals impossible."

Ryan looked concerned before saying, "I don't know what to do."

Celina frowned before walking over to him. "It'll work out, the four of us won't lose remember?"

Ryan nodded hearing that, "Right."

Celina smiled before frowning. "Anyway, I just wanted to give you two a head's up. I'll see you two around."

With that she walked off. Ryan closed the door before walking to his bed laying down. Molly just smiled seeing that.

"Molly? Has... a Human, and a Duel Spirit relationship like us ever happened for real before?" Ryan asked her.

Molly closed her eyes in thought. "I think... once. Kind of."

"Well... If we do have a... have a..." Ryan blushed, "I'm worried what would happen to either you or..."

Molly blinked in surprise before her eyes widened. "Oh... if it's you that wouldn't happen."

Ryan turned to her.

"I don't really understand how, but remember how you kept me from leaving?" she asked.

"Yeah." Ryan nodded.

"There's something special about you... so if we ever did... if you ever wanted to... it should work like normal." Molly told him.

Ryan blushed before closing his eyes, "Can you lay down for a second?"

Molly smiled before nodding and laying down next to him. "Like this? Or did you mean..."

She gently hugged him.

"This?"

Ryan blushed with a smile before crawling down before laying his head on her stomach. Molly smiled before closing her eyes.

"Sorry if this seems weird." Ryan said quietly to her.

"Not really." Molly whispered gently.

She felt a gentle kiss at her stomach. Molly giggled only to frown. "Ryan? Can I ask you something?"

Ryan turn his head to look up at her from his position.

"... Duel Academy, they want to create a utopia right?" Molly asked him while gently putting his head back on her stomach.

"Yes..." Ryan said while keeping his head on her.

"... Do you want our help?" she asked hesitantly. "I mean... all of us?"

Ryan didn't answer as she could feel tears.

"Ryan?" Molly asked nervously. "What's wrong?"

"Why do we have to hurt others?" Ryan asked as tears started.

Molly shifted so she could hold him. "I wish I knew, but I don't."

Ryan stayed in her arms for several minutes before asking, "Can I... kiss your stomach bare?"

Molly's eyes widened. "Um... you won't be embarrassed?"

"Y-You liked I kissed it when covered?" Ryan asked her with a blush.

"Yeah it's just... you want to kiss my bare stomach?" Molly asked uncertainly. "If you do I don't mind but... I don't want to embarrass you."

"I'll be okay." Ryan told her, "And I don't know by but... I think doing it brings comfort, and peace."

Molly looked at him before blushing. "Ok."

As she said that Molly stood up before taking the top of her Duel Academy uniform off and lying back down. Ryan blushed before crawling down, and kissed it softly. Molly smiled gently. "That tickles."

Ryan softly smiled before laying his head on her stomach in peace as he places his hand on it rubbing it.

"You're not embarrassed are you?" Molly asked gently putting a hand on his head.

"No." Ryan answered as she could see a smile as he continued rubbing.

Molly smiled at that before closing her eyes.

"Also... Another reason why... You said you been having stomach aches for a while so... I thought I make it better." Ryan admitted to her.

Molly's eyes widened. "You remembered?"

"Yeah." Ryan answered.

Molly teared up hearing that before hugging him. "That's so sweet."

Ryan smiled before kissing her stomach again. Molly smiled at that before wrapping her arms around him. "Can we stay like this for a while?"

"As long as you want." Ryan answered stilling rubbing before feeling her belly button, and blinked before looking.

"Ryan?" Molly asked curiously.

"Oh... That's what I felt." Ryan blushed before softly kissing it.

Molly smiled. "I thought something was wrong."

"I don't think I seen someone else's navel." Ryan admitted.

"It's not funny looking is it?" Molly asked.

"Actually... It looks cute." Ryan admitted with a blushing smile.

Molly smiled at that before blushing. "Um... Ryan?"

"Yeah?" Ryan asked.

"Could... could you do me a favor?" Molly asked.

"What is it?" Ryan asked.

Molly blushed before rolling over. "Could... you rub my back for a bit?"

Ryan looked before nodding softly rubbing her back slowly. Molly let out a soft sigh. "Thanks, that feels nice."

Ryan smiled softly at this before kissing it. A few minutes passed before Molly shifted. "Ok... your turn."

Ryan blinked at that before slowly taking off his shirt, and laying down on his stomach. Molly gently rubbed his back. "Do you think they like me? Yuri and Celina?"

"They... ask me sometimes what your like, and if we're going out." Ryan answered.

Molly giggled at that. "Well we are aren't we?"

Ryan blushed but smiled, "Yeah we are."

Molly smiled before moving to hug him only to pause and stop.

"Hm?" Ryan asked noticing that, "Oh you need me to sit up?"

With that he sat up, and embraced her. Molly blushed heavily while hugging him back. "Ryan... we're both naked from the waist up remember?"

Ryan blushed before saying, "Well uh... You like it right?"

Molly smiled. "Well... yeah."

"Worst case if we're in our..." Ryan started before freezing blushing bright.

"Ryan?" Molly asked.

Ryan didn't say anything as she realized what he was saying it would be worst if they are only in there underwear. Molly blushed before closing her eyes. "Oh... well there would be one thing worse than that."

Hearing that Ryan looked. Molly was blushing as he realized the only thing worse than being in their underwear would be not being in their underwear. Ryan blushed at that before asking, "Y-You want to... No it's clear you don't want too."

"Ryan... I'm the Maiden in Love, I wouldn't stay with you for this long if I didn't love you." Molly whispered. "If you want to do... well, it's a little embarrassing but it would be ok. I really don't mind."

Ryan blushed before closing his eyes taking off his shorts. Seeing that Molly took her skirt off before pausing. "Oh... didn't you have to see Zane in a half hour?"

Ryan blushed deep seeing her like that before saying, "Y-Yeah... But we have plenty of time."

Molly nodded before closing her eyes. "Then... do you want to?"

Hearing that Ryan blinked. She quietly whispered in his ear. "What we were talking about a minute ago... hugging without anything. I really don't want to embarrass you though."

Ryan blushed before looking down, "Molly... Am I a... p-p-p..."

Molly's eyes widened and she immediately hugged him. "No, of course not."

Ryan hugged her back.

"Promise me you'll never think of yourself as something so awful." Molly requested.

Ryan slowly nodded before closing his eyes with a blush, "Uh... who's first?"

"... Together?" Molly suggested.

Ryan slowly nodded before closing his eyes with a deep breath.

"On three?" Molly asked.

"Okay." Ryan said with his eyes still closed.

"One... Two... Three." Molly counted.

At that they both took off their last articles of clothing together but Ryan kept his eyes closed. He felt someone hug him. Feeling that he opened his eyes. Molly was hugging him.

"Molly..." Ryan trailed off before pressing on his Duel Disk that locked his door as he hugged back.

"Can I say something?" Molly asked. "Without it embarrassing you?"

"Yeah?" Ryan asked her.

"You're very handsome." Molly smiled.

Ryan blushed before looking her body, and smiled with a red tint, "And you're angel really a... I mean you're really angel a... I mean-"

Molly giggled. "I know what you mean."

He blushed before getting the blanket ready, and crawled down laying his head on her stomach again softly kissing it. Molly gently rubbed his head at that.

"Molly... Thanks." Ryan told her.

"Shouldn't I be thanking you?" she asked.

"I mostly..." Ryan admitted as he rubbed her stomach like before.

Molly just smiled. "Are you tired?"

"Actually... Yeah." Ryan admitted to her.

Molly smiled before sitting up. "I'll message Zane and let him know you're resting. Stay right there."

Ryan nodded to her sitting up. Molly walked over to her Duel Disk and sent a short message before smiling and walking back to the bed and laying down next to Ryan. Ryan laid back down to her stomach. Molly reached down and pulled up the covers before smiling. "Sleep tight Ryan, I love you."

"I love you too Molly. Can you stay with me?" Ryan asked growing sleepy as he tried to stay awake a while longer while rubbing her stomach.

"Of course I can." Molly smiled gently while rubbing his head. "Just get some sleep."

After a few more seconds Ryan's eyes falling asleep as his hand stopped at her hip. Molly smiled gently hugging him before closing her own eyes. She hears Ryan's peaceful breathing as he sleeps on her. Molly smiled before frowning. 'Ryan...'

With that she carefully shifted before getting dressed and sending a message to the Professor.

"Professor, I may have an idea... Duel Spirits may help Duel Academy."

"Duel Spirits?" the Professor messaged back.

"Yes, I might be able to convince them to help our goals." Molly told him. "Ice Barrier, Dark World, Lightsworn, all of them. That is, if you want."

"Why are you suggesting this?" the Professor asked her.

Molly flinched slightly before typing again.

"Our goal is to unite the four Dimensions into a utopia isn't it? If we have more allies that goal might be possible."

"Five." the Professor told her before adding, "So far Obelisk Force is doing a fair job so only if I consider it. Understand?"

"Understood, and my apologies I mistyped that. Thank you Professor." Molly sent before pausing and turning to where Ryan was sleeping and blushing.

When she turned she sees Ryan twisting, and turning. Molly blushed slightly before carefully taking her uniform off again and moving to lie down next to Ryan before gently kissing his cheek. "Sleep well Ryan."

Ryan took her in his arms calming down. Molly smiled at that before blushing slightly and closing her own eyes before slowly falling asleep. With that they had a peaceful nap with each other.


Meanwhile...

Allie was asked to wake Cloud up as she walked upstairs. She entered the room too see Cloud sleeping peacefully quietly snoring as she giggled walking over, and shake him awake as Cloud stirred, "Huh?"

"Good morning Cloudy." Allie smiled to him.

Cloud sat up as the cover fell showing he's shirtless as Allie gasped blushing before turning. Cloud rubbed his eyes asking, "Allie... Why are you here?"

"I... I came to visit." Allie said blushing.

Cloud once realizing what's going on blushed, "S-Sorry you had to see me in this. It was so hot last night! Can you wait outside please?"

Allie nodded walking out, and closing the door. Minutes later he walked out in a blue shirt, "Sorry about that."

"It's ok." Allie mentioned with a blush.

Cloud hugged her. Allie blushed more at that before pausing. "Oh yeah... Yuya's dueling Gong right now."

"O-Okay." Cloud said before looking down, "Was that bothering you?"

"Huh?" Allie asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Is seeing me... without a shirt bothering?" Cloud asked blushing.

Allie's eyes widened. "Oh... but, we went swimming remember?"

"Huh? O-Oh yeah, I didn't think of that." Cloud admitted.

Allie nodded before blushing. "But... you looked handsome."

Cloud blushed before asking, "Y-You want to see more later?"

Allie's eyes widened. "Um... what do you mean 'see more later?'"

"See me... without a shirt more." Cloud answered with a growing blush.

Hearing that Allie paused before smiling. "Maybe."

Cloud hugged her before saying, "C-Come one Allie."

Allie nodded as they walked downstairs. They walked downstairs to where Yoko gave him a lunchbox to help with his blood flow, "Thanks Miss Sakaki."

"You're welcome." Yoko smiled.

They walked on over to You Show at this before Cloud asked Allie, "Allie? How did your parents took our date, and your necklace?"

"They were surprised but happy." Allie answered.

Cloud nodded as they walked in to see the duel where it was Gong's turn.

"It's time for Gong's two sword-swinging Superheavy Samurai to say buh-bye, and hit the road! Gong's bringing out the best one of them all, Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei!" Gong called as two mechanical warriors vanished only to bring out a larger one with 3500 defense points.

Allie stared in awe. "Gong is super strong."

"Alright Yuya enough riding around." the man stated clenching his fist, "It's time to take center stage and show Gong what you're made of."

"It's showtime! Ladies, gentlemen, and Gong how 'bout I kick things off this round's entertainment with some Carnival Craving Hippos!" a male voice cried riding on a hippo monster jumping on a rooftop showing it's a teen with crimson, and red hair, and having a red shirt with green pants playing a spell. "Get hopping hippos!"

Three different colored hippos appeared dancing in front of Yuya. Gong off-guard yelled, "Hey, what's with all that shaking! We're not dancing, we're dueling!"

Cloud only chuckled. Suddenly the field vanished causing Yuya to fall and land on his back hard.

"Yuya!" Cloud cried, "You okay?"

Yuya weakly looked up before making a silly face. Cloud chuckled at this. Allie smiled before pausing and looking down shyly.

"Allie?" Cloud asked her.

"Your laugh is cute." Allie admitted with a blush.

Hearing that Cloud smiled before giggling. Allie smiled and started giggling herself only to suddenly pause and look down with a huge blush.

"What's up?" Zuzu asked her walking over.

Allie blushed before whispering to Zuzu.

"Cloudy was hot last night and took off his shirt to sleep."

Zuzu blinked hearing that. Allie blushed more.

"You, and him went swimming right?" Zuzu asked her.

Allie nodded. "Yeah."

"What makes that different from this?" Zuzu asked her.

Allie looked down. "There's no water."

"What did he say?" Zuzu asked her.

Allie told her. Zuzu gave thought before suggesting, "Well how bout asking your parents if you will spend the night?"

Allie's eyes widened. "Oh... I can try."

"Cloud is over heels for you, and wants to make sure he's not bothering." Zuzu explained, "So you should give him every ounce of your love to him throughout your sleep over."

Allie's eyes widened and she turned bright red. "Are you... is that true?"

"He's worried about messing up." Zuzu answered, "And you can help him see he isn't gonna do that."

Allie blushed more. "Well... if you're sure big sis."

Zuzu nodded before walking to Yuya.

"Allie? What's wrong?" Cloud asked her, "You having a fever?"

Allie shook her head. "Um... Cloudy do you want to have a sleepover?"

Cloud blushed before saying, "I-If you want... I won't bother you will I?"

Allie shook her head. "No, you wouldn't be."

Cloud nodded hugging her. Allie hugged him back.

"Tell me how you feel." Cloud requested.

Allie blinked. "What do you mean? I feel ok."

"During the sleep over." Cloud clarified.

Allie froze before blushing. "Um... Cloudy do you..."

She looked down nervously.

"Do I what?" Cloud asked her.

Allie blushed more before frowning. "Never mind, don't come over."

With that she ran off.

"Uh hey Allie!" Cloud cried running after her.

"Leave me alone." Allie requested.

"Allie." Cloud said hugging her.

"Cloudy let go." Allie frowned.

"Allie you can tell me." Cloud told her.

Allie just looked down and shook her head.

"Allie come on." Cloud told her.

"Leave me alone." Allie told him.

"You can't do it by yourself." Cloud said kissing her.

Allie froze at that.

"I love you." Cloud told her.

Allie blushed even more. "Cloudy..."

He hugged her. Allie hesitantly hugged him back.

"You can tell me what's wrong." Cloud told her comforting.

Allie opened her mouth just at the door opened and a man walked in.

"Afternoon all I do hope I'm not intruding." the man stated.

"Sorry who are you?" Cloud asked him as Skip, Yuya, Zuzu, and Gong walked over.

The glasses man answered, "I'm Nico Smiley, dueling manager and promoter. Currently I represent the reigning Action Duel Champion, The Sledgehammer."

Shocked Yuya said, "Not THE Sledgehammer."

"The Sledgehammer is hosting a fan appreciation day at the Leo Institute and as part of the festivities he's issuing a one-on-one challenge to Yuya." Nico explained.

Off-guard Yuya asked, "Your inviting me to duel the Sledgehammer?"

"I'm not inviting you to duel his grandma!" Nico joked before saying, "Seriously, though, it's your chance to make up for your father's disappearing act. You remember what happened don't you?"

Yuya made a troubled look as Nico said, "You're finally old enough to get your wish! We'll publicize it as the duel of the decade! "The son of Yusho Sakaki tries to clear up his father's name"!"

Yuya swallowed nervously at that.

"Forget it." Skip stated bluntly. "I will never let Yuya take part in this match."

Surprised Nico asked, "Why not? It's what all the fans want to see, plus it'll mean tons of free publicity for your dueling school!"

"I won't let Yuya be humiliated!" Skip answered making Yuya give out a shocked look as Skip clench his fist, "The boy's suffered enough since his father disappeared... Get out of here Nico!"

"Oh I understand Boyle." Nico smiled putting a hand on his chest before leaning forward with a finger raised. "Its a real shame though, cause if you had agreed the Leo Corp. would have donated the newest augmented reality combat system to your dueling school for no charge. As in free."

"You've got a deal!"

SMACK!

That commit earned Skip a snack at the back of head by Zuzu who was holding a paper fan.

"You just said you'd never let Yuya duel the Sledgehammer." Zuzu pointed out in annoyance.

"But for the good of the school." Skip argued rubbing his face.

"What about for the good of Yuya?" Zuzu questioned.

"Even back then she cared about him, no wonder they ended up together." Jarrod smiled. "I mean, ignoring the fact that it was fate they definitely would have still fallen in love."

"No joke." Misty agreed.

"Um, well..."

"Yeah, we gotta have Yuya's back." Gong agreed with Zuzu closing his eyes.

"Uh we can't..." Hearing that they looked seeing Yuya's gone as Zuzu finished, "'Cause... he ran off."

"Just like his old man." Nico remarked.


Later...

Gong, Zuzu, Cloud, Allie, and Skip, running down a hallway to a bright light before the camera pulled back to show a large stadium full of people with several duels taking place and balloons flying into the sky and a cheering crowd.

"You fans have to been clamoring for this duel and now it's finally happening!" Nico announced as it shows as scene is turning to a holographic billboard of Yuya vs the Sledgehammer, "Three years ago the famous Dueltainer Yusho Sakaki failed to defend his title against the Sledgehammer! Now Sakaki's own son will try to erase that disgrace!"

"Do you think Yuya will show up?" Zuzu asked nervous.

Gong shrugged, "Who knows? But Gong's gut says he will."

"All right! Then we'll get our ARC-" Skip started only for Zuzu to whack him again with her fan with a bandage at the bump as he weakly said, "Never mind."

"Now lets get this grudge match underway!" Nico announced as a card appeared in his hand. "Here goes, time to activate the field, Castle of Chaos!"

"Augmented Reality Combat System energized. Generating Action Field." a computer voice said as a machine below the arena glowed as the arena transformed into a landscape with castles looking like fangs appeared while the Sledgehammer stepped on the balcony.

"LET'S DUEL!"

"I think that's enough for now."

"They just started, and already he's taking off!" a audience member called finding this boring.

"At least he didn't ran off like his father. Though the only thing missing for this chicken are his wings." another audience member remarked.

Cloud frowned at this as Allie took his hand.

"Just ignore them, they'll understand." the blonde woman smiled knowingly.

Sledgehammer 1st Turn:

"You're father is good at running away but it won't help you in this duel. I activate Feast of the Wild LV5, this lets me summon two level five monsters immediately, and I pick Swamp Battleguard and Lava Battleguard!" the Sledgehammer declared as the two monsters appeared.

"I then activate another Feast of the Wild LV5 to bring Swamp Battleguard and Lava Battleguard back from my graveyard."

The two monsters reappeared at that.

"Now for every Warrior monster I sacrifice Battleguard King gets an extra attack." the Sledgehammer revealed as Swamp Battleguard and Lava Battleguard vanished. "Attack his hippo!"

"Sorry, but I played Evasion!" Yuya grinned.

"But I still have 1 more attack to make! Again!" the Sledgehammer called.

"Fine keep your monsters they won't last long." the Sledgehammer said ending his turn with a face-down.


Yuya: 0900

Sledgehammer: 4000


Yuya 2nd Turn:

Yuya drew his cards and smiled seeing it. "Ladies and Gentlemen!"

"Allow me to introduce you all to the main star of the Yuya Spectacular, a wonder of the dragon world." Yuya grinned as he jumped off of Hip Hippo and took off his clown outfit before Hip Hippo and his token vanished. "I summon Odd-Eyes Dragon!"

"What?" the Sledgehammer asked in shock.

"Now Odd-Eyes Dragon attack Battleguard King with Spiral Flame!" Yuya grinned as Odd-Eyes charged an attack. "When Odd-Eyes destroys a monster in battle you take damage equal to half its original attack points!"

Hearing that the Sledgehammer muttered to himself, "Battleguard King's attack points in half are 1500. If I lost another 2500 from this attack... The result would be catastrophic!"

Realizing this would deal 4000 points of damage which is the amount total he has as the blast struck.

"Oh the blast hits, and-Wait!" Nico announced as the smoke cleared showing Battleguard King survived as Sledgehammer was shown with Miracle.

"You aren't the only one who can play an Action Spell." the Sledgehammer smirked showing Miracle. "I was keeping this little baby just in case."

(Sledgehammer: 2750)

Yuya's eyes widened in shock. 'No way...'

"Oh, and Sledgehammer reminds us why he's number one!" Nico announced.

"Anything else?" the Sledgehammer taunted.

"I... end my turn." Yuya finished nervously.

Battleguard King: (ATK: 0 + 3000 = 3000)


Yuya: 0900

Sledgehammer: 2750


The Sledgehammer 3rd Turn:

"My move, and I think I'll start with Battleguard Rage to give my Battleguard King 1000 more attack points." the Sledgehammer smirked.


Battleguard Rage

Continuous Trap Card

Activate this card by targeting 1 Warrior-Type monster you control. It gains 1000 ATK. Monsters destroyed by battle with it are returned to the hand instead of going to the Graveyard. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card.


Battleguard King: (ATK: 3000 + 1000 = 4000)

Yuya's eyes widened in shock before jumping to a tree where an Action Card was hidden among the leaves.

"You won't get away! Battleguard King!" the Sledgehammer called as his monster jumped forward.

Yuya closed his eyes sadly. "I play Damage Banish!"


Damage Banish

Action Spell Card

If you would take battle damage: Reduce it to 0.


"You might destroy Odd-Eyes... but I'm not beat yet."

The dragon was smacked shattering as the Sledgehammer said, "Monsters destroyed from battle with a Warrior powered up by Battleguard Rage returned to your hand instead of the graveyard."

Yuya's eyes widened seeing his ace monster was back in his hand. "Odd-Eyes..."

"And I make your situation more dire by activating Battleguard Magic!" the Sledgehammer called.


Battleguard Magic

Quick-Play Spell Card

When a monster is returned to the hand: Gain LP equal to half its ATK.


"As your monster returned to your hand I make your situation more dire by gaining points equal to half it's attack points!" the Sledgehammer called glowing. (Sledgehammer: 4000)

"Yuya..." Zuzu whispered seeing that as Cloud, and Allie looked worried.

"What will you do now?" the Sledgehammer smirked.

'That's a good question, none of these cards can help me win. Maybe I'm really not good enough to defend my dad's honor.' Yuya thought looking at his hand of monster cards.

Then his Pendulum started glowing.

'What?' Yuya thought in shock before seeing some of his cards were transforming along with Cloud's Deck which Allie noticed.

His cards transformed into a Spell Hybrid.

Yuya 3rd Turn:

Yuya drew his card before closing his eyes only to open them confidently.

"With scale 1 Stargazer Magician and scale 8 Timegazer Magician I set the Pendulum Scale!" Yuya called as the two monsters appeared in pillars of light.

Monster Effect: Each turn, the first card(s) in your Pendulum Zone that would be destroyed by an opponent's card effect, is not destroyed.


"Pendulum what?" the Sledgehammer asked seeing that.

"This allows me to summon monsters from level 2 through 7 all at the same time!" Yuya stated, "Swing forth Pendulum, carve the arc of victory! I Pendulum Summon! Come forth Performapal Sword Fish, Performapal Whip Snake, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

Three monsters appeared all at once.

You can only use each Pendulum Effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" once per turn.

Monster Effect: If this card battles an opponent's monster, any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is doubled.


"Oh, and Yuya has pulled out a surprising turn around!" Nico cried.

"When Performapal Sword Fish is summoned all your monsters lose 600 attack and defense points." Yuya told the Sledgehammer.

Battleguard King: (ATK: 4000 - 600 = 3400/DEF: 1100 - 600 = 500)

"Your monsters are still lower!" the Sledgehammer pointed out.

"Performapal Whip Snake's special ability switches Battleguard King's attack and defense points!" Yuya revealed.

Whip Snake hynoptized King. (ATK: 500/DEF: 3400)

"What?" the Sledgehammer asked in shock.

"Now, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attack Battleguard King!" Yuya called, "Spiral Flame Strike! When Odd-Eyes battles the damage is doubled! Reaction Force!"

The new dragon struck Battleguard King.

The Sledgehammer grabbing an Action Card called, "I activate Evas-What? Why isn't it activating?"

As he's asking this Stargazer is glowing.

"Stargazer Magician's Pendulum Ability, when a Pendulum Monster battles he can negate the activation of one of your spell cards." Yuya stated.

Evasion was stopped the Sledgehammer cried out landing hard.


Yuya: 0900

Sledgehammer: 0000

Yuya wins the duel!


Yuya suddenly blinked. "Huh?"

As the crowd was cheering for Yuya's victory Allie remembered the glow she saw in Cloud's Deck. Cloud was smiling before turning. "Did you see that Allie? Yuya did it."

"Yeah... But your Deck was glowing." Allie told him.

"Huh it was?" Cloud asked confused looking in his Deck only to widen his eyes, "Huh? What happened to my cards?"

Allie blinked and looked at them. Like Yuya's cards from earlier their a spell, and monster hybrid.

Her eyes widened. "What are those?"

"These... might be what Yuya used." Cloud said thinking that.

Allie looked at the cards only to smile. "Well you deserve special cards too."

Cloud turned to her before smiling, "And I also deserve you?"

Allie paused and looked up thoughtfully. "I don't know... do you?"

"I think I do." Cloud said hugging her before blushing, "So... tonight?"

Allie blushed at that. "Um... ok."

With that they looked back to where Yuya smiles from the cheering, and is happily welcoming it.


Later...

After Allie got permission from her parents they started off from Yoko making them dinner.

"Mmm... As always Miss Sakaki you outdone yourself." Cloud smiled to Yoko.

"Thank you Cloud." Yoko smiled back. "I'm glad you enjoy it."

"Yeah, and it's great that you came over Allie." Yuya smiled to her, "Maybe you, and Cloud got some Deck Planning?"

Allie blushed. "Um... I don't know..."

"Well it's something you two are doing together. Just let me, or mom know if you two need anything." Yuya smiled.

Allie nodded shyly. Soon after their finished Cloud asked Allie to wait upstairs. Allie nodded and was sitting in Cloud's room. Cloud soon arrived upstairs holding something.

"I think this would... Help you be less embarrassed." Cloud admitted with a small blush handing a I Love You card to Allie.

Allie's eyes widened before smiling. "Thank you Cloudy."

She opened the card where a Duel Monsters card slipped. Allie bent down and picked up the card. To her shock it was a card called Aquaactress Dolphin.


Aquaactress Dolphin

Water Type

Level 7

Fish/Synchro

ATK: 2200

DEF: 1900

1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner "Aquaactress" monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned: Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand, or GY in Defense Position. When this card declares an attack: Tribute 1 Aqua monster from your hand, or field, and if you do this card is unaffected to other effects except "Aquaactress" cards. If this card is destroyed: Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your GY.


"Cloudy... how did you?" Allie started in disbelief.

"R-Read the card..." Cloud told her.

Allie hugged him. "I did... this is incredible."

She suddenly paused.

"But... how do you Synchro Summon?"

"Uh... You take what's called a Tuner Monster, and you take monsters that aren't Tuners, and add their levels together so that it equals a Synchro Monster's level but you have to fulfill the summoning conditions." Cloud explained, "Dolphin uses Aquaactresses that aren't Tuners."

Allie nodded at that before blushing. "Oh... um, you wanted to... right?"

"Uh, I figured the cards would get you less embarrassed about it." Cloud said with a blush, "Are you ready?"

Allie blushed but nodded. "I think so."

At that Cloud sat on his bed closing his eyes taking his shirt off.

"Cloudy... please don't close them." Allie whispered.

"Huh?" Cloud asked opening his eyes.

Allie was blushing. "It... it's more embarrassing if you close your eyes."

"Oh." Cloud said blushing before shifting to sit in front of Allie, "Well? What you think?"

Allie looked at him before smiling. "You look super strong, like you'll be able to keep me safe."

"Really?" Cloud asked looking over, "To be honest... I think, I was getting a little fat."

Allie's eyes widened. "Why would you think that? You look good to me."

As she said that she slightly poked Cloud's stomach. Cloud giggled at that, "I just think, I'm eating a lot... Like a piggy."

Allie pouted. "You're skinnier than me though, look."

She quickly pulled her shirt off.

"See?"

"Ah!" Cloud blushed bright seeing that.

"Cloudy? What's..." Allie started before turning bright red and shrieking in embarrassment.

Cloud looked before saying, "I love you."

Allie was still bright red before swallowing nervously. "I love you too Cloudy..."

Seeing that Cloud pulled her to a comforting embrace. Allie blushed slightly before gently returning the embrace.


Ulrich362: Oh boy... quite the chapter.

bopdog111: Think their growing up too fast for their own good?

Ulrich362: Yeah... just a little bit. Though for the curious, no the farthest at this point would be cuddling together. Nothing beyond that.

bopdog111: What is next here?

Ulrich362: Something a bit unexpected... LID is getting a message, and during a familiar duel it will be decoded. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
