bopdog111: We're now here again.

Ulrich362: True, we are.

bopdog111: Leo has quite a choice to pick.

Ulrich362: Definitely... then again one option of the three is less likely.

bopdog111: What option is that you ask?

Ulrich362: Boyle. Enjoy the chapter.

Leo was thinking of something in the lobby.

"Leo?" Tate asked noticing that. "Are you ok?"

"I have a tough decision to make with Amy." Leo answered.

"What kind of decision?" Tate asked.

"Who I should be adopted too... I don't want to leave Amy to be trapped as a Duel Soldier." Leo answered.

"Maybe some fresh air would help?" Tate suggested. "There's a park nearby, it might help you figure things out."

"Thanks." Leo smiled walking off.

As he did he noticed Gong activate a card to inflict 3300 points of damage to himself and one of the LID students.

"Looks like it was a tie as I thought." Leo said seeing that.

"Then... You Show wins." the woman frowned.

"So as agreed we forget what happened." Yuya said as Leo walked to the park.

When he arrived he saw a girl sitting and watching two people dueling, one of which had a copy of Blue-Eyes White Dragon in play. Leo blinked seeing the dragon walking over.

"You shouldn't have challenged me." the boy with the Blue-Eyes smirked. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon finish Joseph off, Burst Stream of Destruction!"

Blue-Eyes roared firing at the boy named Joseph as he cried out landing on the ground pouting, "Man lost again!"

"You are improving Joe." the girl said helping him up with a smile.

"Still never hurts." the boy with Blue-Eyes shrugged with a smile.

"That was some power you show." Leo said making himself known to them.

"Sorry if I did but I think you did put up a fight." Leo admitted to him.

"Thanks, my name's Joe. The winner is Kaiba, and Carlita's standing next to you." Joe explained. "What's your name?"

"I'm..." Leo started before seeing Carlita, and paused before turning away with a slight blush, "L-Leo Logan."

"Nice to meet you Leo." Carlita smiled only to pause. "Huh, is something wrong?"

"Well..." Leo started before pausing, "Wait Kaiba? As in Seto Kaiba?"

"He's my ancestor... I'm Seto Kaiba the second." Kaiba explained. "And before you ask, yes I do have the three Fusion Blue-Eyes cards, and Shining Dragon."

"Whoa. Your ancestor is a real legend back then." Leo admitted.

"Yeah... I just wish I could live up to his reputation." Kaiba admitted. "That aside though, what were you about to say?"

That made Leo blush turning away, "Well..."

"Do you need some water?" Joe asked handing Leo a bottle. "It is kind of hot today."

"Huh... Oh no thanks I'm good." Leo said to him with a smile, "Uh... your name is Carlita right?"

"That's right." she nodded.

"Well... I know we just met but..." Leo said blushing.

Carlita blinked before her eyes widened. "Wait... huh?"

"Sorry... I might be a bit too forward." Leo said looking down, "I have friends with two girls before coming here, and I feel different with you."

"Coming here?" Carlita inquired. "Alright, first things first tell us what's bothering you... and then I want to duel you."

"Wait huh?" Leo asked surprised, "Well... Crush."

"Love at first sight?" Joe teased.

That made Leo blush more.

"There's something else bothering you... can you tell us during the duel?" Carlita requested only to pause. "Oh... and about what you just said... Are you sure?"

Leo nodded to her. Carlita blushed slightly. "Oh... Wow..."

Leo nodded with a blush before getting ready.

"You can go first." Carlita mentioned.

"DUEL!"


(Dueling Theme: Suffer by New Years Day)

"Not just that but we'll get to it later." Leo said to her, "Next I activate Double Summon."

While this card is face-up on the field, it cannot be Tributed. If this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: Change this card to Defense Position. Once per turn: You can discard 1 Spell; Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your Deck, but that monster cannot attack this turn.


"When this card is summoned it switches to defense mode." Leo said shifting the card's position, "And once a turn by discarding a spell it allows me to summon a level 4 monster from my Deck."

"Three level four monsters on your first turn? Not a bad start." Joe smiled as Carlita's eyes widened slightly.

"Well I'll discard the spell Glorious Numbers to use Summoner Monk's special ability!" Leo said discarding the spell, "Which means, I can summon Future Samurai!"

Samurai appeared ready.

"What are you planning?" Carlita asked.

"This! I overlay my three level 4s in order to build the Overlay Network!" Leo called as the three flew up to the Overlay Network, "That means I can Xyz Summon this guy! Number 104: Masquerade!"

Masquerade's sealed form appeared before unfolding to his appearance.

(ORU: 3)

"That... a Number?" Carlita whispered. "Ok, what's going on? Just who are you?"

"I said I'm Leo Logan, I just moved in." Leo answered, "With my favorite card's appearance, I'll end my turn. Your up."

Carlita 1st Turn:

"That's not what I meant, but once I win the duel you're ok with telling us what was on your mind before right?" Carlita asked. "I drew one of my more powerful combos and I think you might like this one."

"Hm?" Leo asked hearing that.

"I'll start with the spell card Advanced Ritual Art, this lets me send a monster in my deck to the graveyard to perform a Ritual Summon." Carlita smiled. "So I'll send Dark Magician to summon Magician of Chaos to my field."

If this Ritual Summoned card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Chaos" or "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster from your hand, except "Magician of Chaos", ignoring its Summoning conditions.


A blue like magician appeared ready.

"Huh?" Leo asked in shock, "A Dark Magician monster?"

"Yeah, but I'm far from done." Carlita smiled. "Magician of Chaos counts as Dark Magician when on the field or in my graveyard so I can use Bond Between Teacher and Student to summon Dark Magician Girl from my deck and set Dark Burning Magic too."

The apprentice of Dark Magician appeared giggling.


Bond Between Teacher and Student

Dark Burning Magic

Quick-Play Spell Card

If you control monsters whose original names are "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl": Destroy all cards your opponent controls.


"This destroys every card on your field."

At that Future Fusion, and Masquerade both shattered easily as Leo grunted.

"Next up, since you played your favorite card I'll do the same and activate Dedication Through Light and Darkness. This sacrifices Dark Magician to summon Dark Magician of Chaos!" Carlita smiled.

"Now my three monsters attack you directly!"

The three spellcasters all attacked Leo who cried out from the attacks landing on the floor.


Leo: 0000

Carlita: 4000

Carlita wins the duel!


"Whoa... I think you went a bit overboard on him." Joe admitted to her.

"Yeah... sorry about that Leo, when I saw that combo I kind of went on autopilot for a minute." Carlita apologized. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm okay." Leo answered before saying, "That was the first time I got OTKed."

Carlita frowned hearing that. "Oh... sorry."

"It's fine Carlita." Leo assured her with a soft smile, "Still that was quite a duel, and I would like to do it again sometime."

Carlita blushed at that. "Yeah... I have some other combos I think you'd like."

"Well... A deal's a deal isn't it?" Leo asked her.

"Not if you don't want to." Carlita answered.

"We dueled, and like I said I share what's really bothering." Leo said before explaining it to them.

Joe and Kaiba looked stunned but Carlita's eyes widened.

"Is that all true?" she asked him.

Leo nodded looking down, "I don't know what to do."

"Well, this person told you to find Yuya not live with him." Carlita pointed out. "And if you want my opinion family always comes first, just because you're not living with Yuya doesn't mean you won't still be friends."

"But I don't want Amy to be trapped as a Dueling Soldier." Leo told her looking torn to figure out what to do.

"Then go there and stop that from happening. If she's your sister then do something about it." Joe told him.

"It's LID he's talking about Joseph. Can that really be easy?" Kaiba asked him.

"I know it isn't easy, but when is it easy to do the right thing?" Joe questioned. "He can't just do nothing."

"I know." Leo said hearing that, "I just don't know how, or what to do."

Carlita frowned. "What do you want to do?"

"I want to get Amy out of there, and... figure out who should take me in." Leo answered looking down.

Joe, Kaiba, and Carlita stared at him before she grabbed Leo's arm.

"Come with me."

"Huh?" Leo asked hearing that.

She dragged him off before turning to him. "Go and live with your sister, the only way you can know she's safe is to be there with her."

"Carlita..." Leo trailed off hearing that.

"Trust me... if you can keep your family safe you do it no matter what." Carlita said before looking down and frowning. "Oh by the way, can you tell Joe and Kaiba I went home? I'd appreciate it."

With that she turned and walked off.

"Uh... Carlita wait!" Leo called.

She paused. "Leo I really need to get ho... to get back home."

"Thank you... And maybe sometime we should go out?" Leo smiled with a blush.

Carlita's eyes widened before she smiled. "Oh... yeah I think that sounds nice."

Leo before walking back to Joe, and Kaiba.

"Is everything alright?" Joe asked.

"Carlita said she went home." Leo said before telling them, "Thanks for the help. I know what to do."

"Glad to hear it." Kaiba smiled.

With that he walked to LID entering, and asking the receptionist, "I like to speak to Miss Henrietta Akaba please."

"What is this regarding?" the receptionist asked.

"It's important for her to talk to me about." Leo told him.

"Mrs. Akaba is a very busy woman." the receptionist told him.

"I'll wait for her no matter how long it takes." Leo said to the receptionist, "I'm not leaving, and don't got anything on my mind."

The receptionist stared at him before pressing a button. "Mrs. Akaba, you have a visitor."

"Send who it is to Declan." Henrietta instructed.

"Yes Mrs. Akaba." the receptionist nodded. "Take the elevator to top floor."

Leo at that head to the elevator to the top floor. When the elevator opened he walked out to a short hallway with a door at the end. He walked to the door talking a short breath before knocking.

"Come in Leo." stated a male voice.

At that he walked in the room. A grey-haired man was sitting behind a desk before looking up. "I had a feeling you would be coming, it's about Riley correct?"

"Yeah. Are you a relative of Henrietta?" Leo asked him.

"I'm her son, Declan Akaba and the president of the Leo Institute." the young man answered.

"Leo Logan. Riley's my twin sister Amy." Leo said back to him.

Declan nodded calmly. "Well then... have you made your decision?"

"I'm... joining the Akaba Family." Leo answered.

Declan nodded at that. "I'll speak with my mother about the preparations... and your unique situation. In the meantime, your sister should be in the main dueling field. I'll have someone take you there."

"Thank you sir." Leo nodded to him.

Declan nodded calmly.


Ulrich362: Well... three friends and a new family, that's got to be good for Leo.

bopdog111: And reunited with his long lost sister.

Ulrich362: Exactly, so now he just needs to share the good news with Amy.
