I wish to apologize, as I'm a few days behind my two week promise date. Let's just say that college hasn't been kind to me. I literally crashed in my room last Thursday when I got home from a long day of work and school and was out for a good 16 hours. Yeah, I pushed myself that hard. It was my fault really. That, and I got a minor case of writer's block, as trying to get into that Jack Atlas psyche was rather difficult. Thank God for Spring Break! Anyways, that's enough whining from me, here's the next chapter!

Chapter 8: The Duel of Kings
The Master was feeling satisfied. His plans were going smoothly. He hadn't expected Allana to defeat Yugi, but he knew his opponents were wary now. He enjoyed hunting wary opponents. He looked at his monitors, observing his minions taking their places around Satellite. The traps were set, it was time to divide and conquer. He looked at LJ's screen, seeing the purple-robed Duelist setting up his area. 'Two men with a lot of pride, both looking to become kings. This should be interesting,' the Master thought to himself. He looked at the other screen which had picked up a white Duel Runner, unknowingly heading towards one of the many trap zones set up throughout the area. 'Let the clash of egos begin!'
Jack Atlas patrolled the streets alone, though a part of him preferred it this way. He did vow he would fight for his friends against Goodwin and he had every intention of keeping that vow, but he still enjoyed working by himself. Jack knew he was always a bit of a lone wolf, no matter how much the pack pulled him in, but he didn't plan on pushing his friends away again. Jack had realized that even HE wasn't immune to love, both brotherly and mainstream. 'If it hadn't been for Carly and Yusei,' he mused to himself, 'We'd probably be spending the next 5000 years in darkness.' A glitter of something on the ground caught his eye as he sped through the streets. 'That's definitely out of place. Better go check it out. If it's a threat, I'd better snuff it out quick!' Jack skillfully maneuvered his Runner around and stopped where he saw the object. He climbed off his Runner, armed his Duel Disk, and walked over to the object. Jack paused when he finally identified the object.
"It's a crown!" he said out loud to nobody in particular. He knelt down for a closer look. It was indeed a crown, one Napoleon himself would have envied. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, pearls, all encrusted on a platinum crown, glittered in the dim light provided by the now cloudy day. "But who would leave something this valuable lying out on the street in Satellite?" Jack's purple eyes darted about, looking for someone trying to get the drop on him.
'This is obviously a trap' he thought, 'and the longer it takes for that trap to spring, the bigger that axe waiting to fall becomes. I'd better grab that crown and get back to Yusei and the others pronto!' Jack made a grab for the crown, only for his hand to pass through it.
"A hologram!" he exclaimed. There was a click, to which Jack tried to spring away, but not in time to escape the trapdoor that opened up and appeared to swallow him whole. The trapdoor closed just as quickly as it opened, cutting off Jack's scream of surprise. The only things that remained were Jack's white Duel Runner and the glittery fake crown, gleaming innocently in the dim sunlight.

"So let me see if I've got this straight," Dani said, "The Master and his ninja broke into Yugi's house to steal two Egyptian god cards to time travel to our time. The Crimson Dragon notices this and decides to grab Yugi and Kaiba to bring them to this time as well. Meanwhile, Yusei and the other Signers are alerted by the Crimson Dragon that something's going on the night Yugi and Kaiba end up on my doorstep. The very next day, the Master begins his war against the world to bring about some sort of utopia, at least according to that one woman Yugi dueled. Everybody else has already dueled against the Master's cannon fodder, for lack of a better term, and now we're dealing with the better Duelists he's got. Does that sound about right?"
Yugi, back in control, nodded. "Yeah, that's right."
Leo looked between Yugi and Yusei, eyes gleaming in excitement. "Yeah, but since we got Yugi with us, we can beat him no problem!"
"Maybe," Yusei said, "But Duel Monsters in this time is a lot different from Duel Monsters in our time. It sounds like you've already seen a Synchro Summon. There are also a lot more special abilities that monsters have that have made a lot of old cards obsolete."
"You mean cards like this one?" Yugi asked, pulling out the Magical Girl card from his pocket and showing to Yusei.
"Yeah," Yusei answered, "but that ability it has is nothing like some of the cards we've faced, like the Earthbound Immortals. We couldn't attack it, our Spells and Traps couldn't hurt it, and they could attack us directly!"
"Earthbound Immortals?" Dani queried, perplexed, "Is that what those giant creatures were that appeared around Satellite a few months ago?"
"You actually saw the Earthbound Immortals?" Crow asked, incredulous, "What about that black mist that covered Satellite? What about those hearts that sucked up everybody's souls?"
"What about them?"
"We'll talk about that later," Yusei interrupted, "My point is, we have two great Duelists on our side, but that doesn't mean we can't take anything the Master has for granted. I mean, that woman you were talking about, Allana, was it? She almost beat Yugi with a simple Lightsworn deck."
"Yeah, well, almost didn't cut it," Crow said, "What's our plan of attack?"
"We go in and wipe out anyone who gets in our way," Kaiba said curtly.
"And how do you plan to do that if we don't even know where they are?" Akiza asked, "They aren't exactly letting us question them."
"We'll just have to capture one and force them to talk," Kaiba said darkly.
Off to the side, Crow nudged Dani. "Isn't he a Mr. Nice Guy."
"You have no idea," Dani said, holding back a giggle.
Luna hesitantly stepped up. "Excuse me, Mr. Kaiba sir, but how are we going to catch one of them if they keep disappearing or knocking themselves out?"
"If they keep coming at us one at a time like they've been doing, we'll simply box them in since we outnumber them, you moron," Kaiba answered bluntly.
Leo was outraged. "Hey don't talk to my sister like that you jerk!" He stepped in from of Luna, who had tears in her eyes from the rude response. "Or you'll have me to answer to! You got that?"
"Like a pipsqueak like you is going to intimidate me." Kaiba turned to stalk off on his lonesome, but his path was interrupted by Dani. "Get out of my way!"
"Not until you say sorry. How can you pick on a couple of kids like that?" Dani asked, the rage everyone was feeling evident in her voice.
"You have to be ruthless to survive in this world," Kaiba answered. It was not the right answer.
SMACK! The sound echoed around the empty street as Dani slapped Kaiba across the cheek was as much force as she could muster, and for a child growing up on the street, she could muster plenty of force. Kaiba whirled about on her, rage in his eyes before Yusei stepped between them.
"Now is not the time for fighting," he said calmly, "Kaiba, I get that you're a loner, but you don't always have to be abrasive." The Kaibacorp president grunted and stalked off. A silence fell for a moment.
"Well that could have gone better," Crow commented.

Jack was dumped onto a pile of soft cushions. As he began to get his bearing, a man's voice chuckled in the shadows on the dark room.
"So, another person too greedy for their own good, eh?" said the voice, a hint of a French accent. "Perhaps you'll be more entertaining than those other scrubs that fell down here."
Jack stood up on the cushions, trying to see in the darkness. "If you're looking for a fight, then be warned; I am not to be trifled with."
A spotlight shone down on Jack from above, blinding him. "That accent! Only one man in New Domino City has that accent! So, it looks like the great Jack Atlas has come stumbling down to my domain. This should be entertaining. The former Turbo King against one who is destined to become king. I look forward to defeating you for the Master." The lights turned on and Jack squinted until his eyes adjusting, revealing a man in a purple robe with the crown Jack had tried to pick up earlier sitting on his head. He was of average height and build with short red hair peeking out from under the crown, but the clothes he wore made him out like a king. The room Jack was standing in did nothing to dissuade that notion, as the room looked like it belonged to a king; elaborate furniture and famous paintings lined the room. Golden curtains hung from the ceiling in fancy patterns. It reminded Jack of his old throne room, only this room hadn't fallen into disrepair like Jack's had.
"And just who are you supposed to be?" Jack asked warily.
The man smiled as he picked up a golden jewel-encrusted scepter leaning against the elaborate throne he was sitting on. "I am Louis John Bonaparte, descended from the great Napoleon himself! With the aid of the Master, I will become king and rule this world the way it was meant to be ruled." He held up his right hand and the Japanese symbol for king began to glow a bright purple. Purple flames sprang up around the two, weaving themselves in the very same symbol glowing on LJ's hand, but bigger.
"What in the world!" Jack exclaimed, "But the Dark Signers have been defeated!" The mark of the Crimson Dragon on his arm began to glow in response to the newly created firewalls.
Downtown Satellite
Everyone in the group gasped as four arms began glowing.
"So, those are your marks?" Yugi asked.
Yusei nodded. "And it looks like our friend Jack is entering a Shadow Duel with someone from the Master."
"I'm sure he'll be fine," Akiza said reassuringly as she looked at her right arm. "He managed to defeat Carly's Earthbound Immortal and he helped you defeat Goodwin."
"Look over there!" Crow shouted, pointing towards the west. "Up in the sky!" The Japanese symbol for king had appeared directly over where Jack was dueling.
"That must be where Jack's Dueling!" Yusei deducted. "But what is the meaning behind 'king'?"
"Hold up," Dani interrupted, "When you say Jack, are you talking about Jack Atlas, the former Master of Faster?" When they nodded, Dani actually sat down in shock. "Could this day get any crazier? I'm meeting celebrities left and right!"

"The Dark Signers were fools, trying to bring about a world of darkness," chuckled Bonaparte, "We in the Chaos Movement are looking to bring about a new world order. After that, we'll get the parts of the world we want and lead as we see fit."
"You're mad!"
"No, but you Signers are in the way and the Master doesn't like obstacles in his way, so I'm going to defeat you in this Shadow Duel to eliminate this obstacle."
"I'd like to see you try!" Jack challenged, holding up his pure white Duel Disk.
"Let's Duel!" the two of them cried simultaneously.
Jack LP: 4000, Louis LP: 4000
"I'll start this match off," Jack said, drawing a sixth card. "And I summon Mad Archfiend to the field in Attack mode!" A red-haired fiend with a disconnected middle appeared in front of Jack, ready for action.
Mad Archfiend: Atk 1800, Def 0, LV 4
"Next I use the Spell Card Resonator Call! This lets me add a Resonator monster from my Deck to my hand, in this case, Dark Resonator!" Jack plucked the card from his Deck and his Duel Disk reshuffled his Deck. "I then place one card facedown and end my turn."
LJ smiled. "Now time to show you how a real king Duels!" I summon Thunder King Rai-Oh from my hand!" A blue metallic figure with two golden rings sparking with electricity materialized in front of the wannabe king.
Thunder King Rai-oh: Atk 1900, Def 800, LV 4
"Go Thunder King! Attack with Lightning Strike!" The blue figure launched a lightning blast at Mad Archfiend. The archfiend raised his arms and crouched down before being destroyed.
"Since you attacked my Mad Archfiend, he switched into Defense mode, protecting my Life Points," Jack said as the smoke cleared.
"Hmph. It doesn't matter. I'll wipe out your Life Points sooner or later, what's 100 Points now?" LJ scoffed, "I place one card facedown and end my turn."
"You'd be surprised how big a difference 100 Points can make," Jack said sagely, "Especially since I activate the Trap Card Powerful Rebirth! This lets me wake up Mad Archfiend from the grave and gives him a power boost to the tune of 100 Attack and Defense points, as well as boosting his Level by one."
Mad Archfiend: Atk 1900, Def 100, LV 5
"You aren't summoning your mighty dragon that easily," LJ countered, "By tributing my Thunder King, I can negate the summoning of Mad Archfiend and send him right back to the Graveyard!" Thunder King became a ball of blue lightning that stuck the revived archfiend and shattered it, leaving both players' fields empty of monsters.
Jack growled. "Fine. Then I summon Flamvell Grunika to the field in Attack mode!" A blue bipedal dragon with a fiery red mane appeared in front of Jack and roared.
Flamvell Grunika: Atk 1700, Def 200, LV 4
"Now go and attack his Life Points directly!" Jack yelled.
"Please," LJ said, "I activate my Trap, Threatening Roar! This prevents you from attacking this turn." The purple card flipped up and released a sound wave that stopped Flamvell Grunika in its tracks. The dragon flew back to Jack and took its position again. "My Life Points are safe."
"And how long do you think you can stall?" Jack challenged, "I end my turn with another card facedown.
"Who says I'm stalling?" LJ asked, "I'm about to destroy another one of your monsters. I summon Rockstone Warrior in Attack mode!" A warrior made up of boulders rose up from the ground and growled a gravelly growl.
Rockstone Warrior: Atk 1800, Def 1600, LV 4
"Attack with Rock Smash!" The rocky warrior slammed his boulder-fists together and charged. Flamvell Grunika roared and tried to slash at Rockstone Warrior, but its claws bounced off the tough hide before Rockstone slammed Grunika into the ground with his boulder-like fists, destroying the dragon. Jack winced as he felt a sharp sting in his abdomen caused by the loss in Life Points
Jack LP: 3900
"And with that done, I'll end my turn," LJ smirked. Jack recognized that smirk. It was a smirk he often gave his opponents when he toyed with them before ruthlessly crushing them. Now that he was on the receiving end of that smirk, he realized how irritating it could be. "Your move, so-called Master of Faster."
Jack drew a card. "Yes, now let Jack Atlas show you how it's done! By sending Sinister Sprocket from my hand to the Graveyard, I can summon Power Giant to the field in Attack mode, but its Level decreases by the Level of the monster sent to the Grave. Since I sent Sinister Sprocket to the Grave, Power Giant's Level decreases by one!" A large humanoid figure made of different colored gems appeared in front of Jack.
Power Giant: Atk 2200, Def 0, LV 5
"Here we go!" commented LJ
"Next I summon Dark Resonator in Attack mode!" Jack announced. A little fiend holding a tuning fork appeared next to the crystal behemoth. It rang the tuning fork once. "And as you can see, it resonates quite nicely with my Power Giant! Now I tune Dark Resonator with Power Giant!" The little fiend dissolved into three stars, which expanded into three green rings that surrounded Power Giant. The crystalline golem dissolved into five more stars before a giant red beam of light and fire erupted from the rings. "In an inferno of power and might, a blazing new beast is now forged! I Synchro Summon the Red Dragon Archfiend!" The red and black demonic dragon flared its wings and roared, hovering a few meters behind its master.
Red Dragon Archfiend; Atk 3000, Def 2500, LV 8
"You made a huge mistake when you decided to take me, Jack Atlas, on in a Duel. Go Red Dragon Archfiend! Attack with Scorching Crimson Flare!" Jack's beloved dragon roared and gathered flames around its fist before it flew forward and punched Rockstone Warrior, who melted from the intense flames into a pool of magma. That magma split up and solidified into two circular stones, each with Rockstone Warrior's head emblazoned upon them.
"What are those?!" Jack exclaimed.
"Rockstone Tokens," LJ answered, "I take no battle damage from battles Rockstone Warrior is involved in, and as an added bonus, when Rockstone is destroyed, I get two Rockstone Tokens on my side of the field in Defense mode."
Rockstone Tokens: Atk 0, Def 0, LV 1
"They won't help you," Jack warned. "I play the Magic card Red Dragon Vase, which lets me draw two more cards." He looked at the cards he drew. "And it looks like I'll be placing them both facedown. That'll end my turn."
"Well then," LJ said nonchalantly, drawing a card, "Let's kick this duel up a notch. I shall make this battle worthy for a king! I play the Magic card Double Summon, which as you might guess, allows me to summon two monsters this turn, not just one. Now I tribute the first of my Rockstone Tokens to summon Kuraz, the Light Monarch! Wherever the light shines, Kuraz is there, to rule over all that is good and even some that is not so good. Come forth, Monarch of Light!" The token on the left dissolved into a shining portal. From that portal, a man in extremely bulky golden armor appeared, white cape billowing about him.
Kuraz the Light Monarch: Atk 2400, Def 1000, LV 6
"Ha, that monster doesn't have enough Attack points to do anything!" Jack said.
LJ smiled. "That doesn't mean Kuraz isn't useful. He can destroy two cards on the field at the price of not being able to attack this turn. So say goodbye to your facedowns! Don't worry though, you get to draw two cards to replace them" Kuraz drew a golden sword and slashed at the cards, sending a spiral beam of light towards both facedowns, destroying both cards.
Jack growled. "Not a bad maneuver, I'll give you that." He drew two cards to form a new hand.
"And it's only going to get worse. I sacrifice my other Token to summon Raiza the Storm Monarch!" The other Token shattered, releasing a howling gale into the room.
"Nothing but a summer breeze!" Jack bluffed, standing tall and proud in the wind, pride refusing to let him back down.
"Oh, I assure you, from the softest of summer breezes to the howling tempest of a mighty hurricane, Raiza is there to rule over all who feel the power of air! Come forth, Monarch of the Sky!" A figure similar to Kuraz appeared, though his bulky armor was more streamlined and colored green instead of gold. The gale ended and Raiza drew his green sabre.
"Did I mention Raiza also has a special ability?" asked LJ, "I can't afford to be so careless when ruling my subjects later. When Raiza is normal summoned, he can return a monster back to the top of the Deck!"
"What?!"
"So say goodbye to your Red Dragon Archfiend! Go Raiza! Return that Synchro monster back to the Extra Deck!" LJ shouted. Raiza swung his sword and sent a gale at the demonic dragon, who faded from sight under the intense winds.
"NO!" Jack cried, feeling a pain in his heart. It felt as though a bit of his soul had just been swept away.
"So, with no facedowns and no monsters, I think this a good time to show you the power of the Chaos Movement. Go, my Wind Monarch, attack that pathetic wannabe king directly! Aeroblast Attack!" The green monarch raised his sabre again and slashed at Jack, unleashing a whirlwind that tore at Jack's very being. Jack couldn't scream, for the air had been sucked out of his lungs, such was the ferocity of the whirlwind.
Downtown Satellite
Yusei gasped in pain as his arm burned. Akiza, Luna, and Crow were in similar situations, grasping at their forearms as they struggled to cope with the pain. Kaiba stood off to the side, watching the proceeding with a keen eye while Dani and Yugi struggled to find a way to help.
"What does this mean?" Yugi asked, concerned etched into his features.
"It means Jack's in trouble," Yusei gasped out. Dani was supporting Akiza while Leo aided Luna.
"Gah! Did it always hurt like this when you guys took major damage?" Crow panted.
"No," Akiza groaned, standing upright thanks to Dani, "I mean, we always felt something when someone took a direct attack, but nothing like this!" Mercifully, the pain died as the attack on Jack ended. Luna slumped, half-conscious from the sudden onslaught.
"You don't think Jack…lost, did he?" Leo asked hesitantly.
Yusei grinned despite himself. "Carly would kill me if that happened."
"Carly?" Yugi asked.
"Our reporter friend," Akiza said, "She and Jack have a thing going on between them. They aren't like your normal couple, but I think they're happy."
"Reporter?" Dani asked, "Does she have green hair and these weird glasses?"
"That's her alright," Yusei said, "I thought you said you were a loner."
"I am," Dani answered, "But she interviewed me once trying to get a scoop on Kaiba. I don't know how she tracked me down, but that reporter did. She thought that because I use three Blue-Eyes White Dragons that I was his great-great grandchild or something. It gave me a good laugh, that's for sure."
"Either way, we need to go find Jack and quickly," Yusei declared.
"You aren't going anywhere!" a man's voice rang out. Everyone gasped as a teal Duel Runner with draconic marking all over launched itself with a roar over a pile of rubble and landed between the group and Kaiba. "I'm here for one man and one man only! Seto Kaiba, you're going down!" The man climbed off the Runner, his emerald green jumpsuit matching well with the draconic green cloak.
"Oh really, and who thinks they have what it takes to defeat me?" Kaiba asked, dark blue eyes glaring at the newcomer.
The man took off his helmet and shook his bright green hair free. Kaiba's eyes widened when he saw the man's eyes, for one was teal and the other a deep emerald green. "I am Draco Regle, Ruler of Dragons, and I was assigned by the Master to remove you from this battlefield. Our mighty dragons shall clash, and I will show you the true power of dragons!" Draco's voice had a bit of a rasp to it, almost as if he were part dragon himself. He held up his right hand and the Japanese symbol for dragons began to glow on both his palm and his forehead. Teal colored flames sprung up around the group, weaving themselves into the Japanese symbol for dragons, as well as encircling everybody. The twins hugged each other out of fear, Dani smacked her forehead, Akiza and Crow both looked on in shock while Yusei and Yugi both concealed their shock and put on a brave face.
"Just what we needed," Dani said sarcastically, "why do you idiots show up when we least want you to?"
"That's just how the world works, sweetie," Draco replied, not taking his eyes off Kaiba. "Now, Kaiba, we shall engage in a glorious battle where I will reign supreme!" The self-titled Ruler of Dragons activated his Duel Disk and held it at the ready.
Kaiba stood still for a moment. Then he began to laugh. "Hehehehe, Ha Ha HA! You think you will defeat me?! Only one man has ever defeated me, and I intend to keep it that way! If you want to be humiliated that badly, then I accept your pathetic challenge. A few fancy holograms aren't going to scare me!" He turned on his Duel Disk and held it up in response.
"Let's Duel!" both men cried.
Kaiba LP: 4000 Draco LP 4000
"Something tells me this Duel isn't going to be as easy as Kaiba thinks it's gonna be," Dani said, "Hopefully that means I can see him summon his ace."
"But you have three copies of his ace already," Crow pointed out, "Why do you want to see Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragons, they're the same as yours!"
"It's not the three that I want to see," Dani answered, "But the one Ultimate Dragon! That's his real ace!"
"I'll start," Kaiba said, drawing a card. "I summon The Bistro Butcher in Attack mode!" A blue goblin in orange rags resembling a butcher appeared, holding a wicked looking sword.
The Bistro Butcher: Atk 1800, Def 1000, LV 4
"I place two cards facedown and end my turn," Kaiba said, "Your move."

Jack panted heavily when the gale finally subsided, allowing him to breathe again. Raiza sheathed his blade and took his post in front of LJ.
Jack LP: 1500
"I'll end my turn with a face down card," LJ said, still grinning that insolent grin. "I expected more from someone of your supposed caliber. Maybe you weren't deserving of your title. Perhaps you were nothing but another fraud set up by Goodwin."
Jack glared at LJ. "I'm no fraud, that's for certain. Let's go!" Jack drew a card and looked at the three in his hand. "Since there are monsters on your side of the field and none on mine, I'm allowed to summon Vice Dragon from my hand, but since I summoned him by way of his special ability, his Attack and Defense Points are halved!" A purple dragon formed in front of Jack, wings crossed in front of its body in Defense mode.
Vice Dragon, Atk 1000, Def 1200, LV 5
"Play all the defense monsters you can," LJ challenged, "My Monarchs will brush them aside like the paper tiger you are!"
"Words are all you're going to have left when I'm done with you!" Jack declared, "Because I'm summoning Clock Resonator from my hand in Attack mode!" A fiend similar to Dark Resonator, only this one was carrying a giant clock on its back, appeared next to Vice Dragon.
"Oh boy," LJ said, a hint of fear entering his voice.
"That's right, I tune Clock Resonator with Vice Dragon to Synchro Summon the ravenous Red Dragon Archfiend one more time!" Jack announced. Clock Resonator dissolved into three stars that became green rings, surrounding Vice Dragon, who dematerialized into five more stars, which glimmered before erupting into bright red flames. "The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! I Synchro Summon my very soul: The Red Dragon Archfiend!" The demonic dragon rose from the flames once again and roared, shaking the very building to its core. Jack held up his arm, the Mark of the Crimson Dragon glowing brighter than ever before.
"But I just got rid of that dragon!" LJ groaned.
"Well now he's back and he's going to attack Raiza the Wind Monarch! Go Scorching Crimson Flare!" Jack yelled. Red Dragon Archfiend roared again and gathered flames around its fist before punching the green armor of Raiza, shattering the monarch and sending fiery damage back towards the purple-robed Duelist. He groaned as the shards hit him, before examining his cloak. LJ turned back towards Jack with an enraged look.
LJ LP: 3400
"You singed my cloak!" He yelled, "Do you know how expensive this is?"
"Not really," Jack scoffed, "Money can't buy you real power. You have to earn it! I end my turn!"
"Fine, then I draw!" LJ growled, "And I activate my Trap, Reckless Greed! Now I get two more cards now, but I skip my next two Draw phases."
'He must be making his big move,' Jack thought, 'If he's giving up his draw power.'
"Now I activate the special ability of my Electric Virus!" LJ yelled, laughing. "By discarding this card to the Graveyard, I can take control of your Red Dragon Archfiend for the turn!" A lightning bolt emanated from LJ's Grave, where he had discarded Electric Virus and struck Red Dragon Archfiend. The demonic dragon roared in pain, then scooted over to LJ's side of the field and roared at Jack.
"No way!" Jack gasped.
"Oh yes, how ironic that your own dragon is going to be your destruction," LJ laughed. "You're finished, and once you fall, the rest of the Signers will fall just as swiftly! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Cue the dramatic cliffhanger! So, in summation, Jack is in the basement of a nondescript building in Western Satellite, Dueling for his life against another of the Master's minions, who as you might have guessed, has a bit of an ego. Kaiba is being his usual self and is Dueling Draco. I know it seems like it's a bit of Kaiba-bashing, but Kaiba will have his moment to shine sooner or later. I really enjoy the anti-hero characters, even if they annoy me with their rude mannerisms. Meh, nobody's perfect.
What kind of Dragons do you think Draco is going to use? Did you catch the three Pokémon references I made? Is Dani becoming an annoying OC? Let me know what youse guys think! Reviews are always welcome, as is any and all respectful criticism. As an author, I'm always looking to improve
Corina O, yes, I am accepting OC's so long as you follow the guidelines I set in the earlier chapter.
Until the next chapter my friends!
