Been too long guys... Writer's block, money troubles, also trying to get into shape. Working with my own dilemmas after helping others. But don't worry, I'm not in too deep with those kinds of problems. Thankfully, I do have my hobbies and my family to keep me going. Hard getting some deck ideas now since I'm trying to save some decks for other characters down the way, so I'll have to get creating again aside from a few new cards for characters already established. For now, let's keep going!

Chapter 16: Come Together
It was evening in Domino City and the sun was about to set. Some jobs were close to closing while others were already done. But one place was always working around the clock. Kaiba Corporation, the biggest conglomerate when it comes to anything gaming. While its home was in Japan, right in Domino City, it was thanks to its partnership with America's Industrial Illusions is what brought Duel Monsters to be a huge phenomenon. In this building, the holographic technology was born so that bigger events involving Duel Monsters were born. Dueling Stadiums for Duelist Kingdom, Duel Disks since Battle City, and even created Virtual Reality attractions for amusement parks around the world.
Today, three people were being led through building by Kaiba Corporation's staff.
The first was a young boy with short and messy blue hair, green eyes, dressed in a blue above-waist length jacket with dark blue outlines, lavender shirt with frilled cuffs at the wrist of his sleeves, and black pants that were held up like a white belt. This is Jesse Anderson, the top duelist at North Academy and user of the legendary Crystal Beasts monsters and holder of the great Rainbow Dragon spirit.
The second was a beautiful young girl with long brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin came out, wearing an open red jacket with a pink shirt, red shorts, hot pink shoes, and pink socks. This is Crystal Rose, the second best of North Academy and user of Magical Girl Archetypes of Sailor Scouts and Winx Fairies.
Lastly was a woman nearly in her 30s, with long red hair and kind emerald green eyes. She wore a green blazer with a red blouse underneath, a black skirt and boots. This was Valencia Valtona, the top instructor of North Academy.
Jesse looked around the building as he followed the security, "Wow, never thought we'd be invited to this place! And by Seto Kaiba himself!"
"It sure is amazing," Crystal said quietly, "This is where the technology for Duel Monsters were born. And how Mr. Kaiba turned it from a military weapons factory into a gaming facility."
"Have to say I admire the hard work he put in for that," Valencia nodded with a smile, "It's never easy to turn a business, even starting one is difficult. But he managed to do it." She then turned serious. "But you two know why we're here. You two may love dueling..."
The students looked to each other with somber looks. They remembered receiving a call from the current Vice-Chancellor of Duel Academy to assemble the best duelists from their respective schools. Hearing that the world was in danger of falling into evil forces, it alone was enough for them to fight. But after hearing that Jaden and Claudio were trying to fight the problem themselves, shunning everyone in the process, they knew what brought on their behaviors. Because of having to fight Tragoedia through Jesse's body and Yubel through his sister Allyson's body, not to mention staying behind to keep Rainbow Dragon's power to cross dimensions, Jaden and Claudio really had to step up from their happier personalities.
It was then several Duel Spirits surrounded the two duelists.
The first was Jesse's, a small, purple cat-like creature with 4 ears, a red stone on its forehead, and another one in its tail. This was Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle, while this was not his only Duel Spirit, she was the one that appeared the most beside the person that called her and the others family.
The others were six small pixies hovering around the young girl.
The first had a green flower pin on her pink hair, pink lace dress with a keyhole and green lace up boots. She also had slightly tanned skin tone, green eyes, purple lashes, and her wings are light blue in a swirl pattern. She looked slightly worried. This is Lockette
The second pixie wore a light pink puffy-sleeved dress and green headband with roses attached. Her wings are also green, and her hair is a dark magenta color, which is long and worn down. Her eyes are blue and filled with happiness and love. This is Amore.
The third pixie had long, curly bronze-gold pigtails, bangs, and slightly tanned skin with big amber eyes filled with happiness and playfulness. She wears a light green shirt, skirt, and boots, and her wings are blue. This was Chatta.
The fourth had pale purple hair in curls and a Victorian-style outfit in purple, white, and blue with a blue bow in her hair. She has pink make-up that makes sharp points above her eyes, a fair skin tone, and violet eyes that showed a firm, yet soft tone, and her wings were purple with a purple glow. This was Muse.
The fifth was very futuristic looking, with a light blue/dark blue jumpsuit and blue mullet-like hair with a light blue streak down the middle. Her wings are blue with yellow outline and had dark blue eyes. This is Digit.
The last one was younger than the rest, being a baby, with soft light green eyes. She is dressed in a pair of cream-colored striped pajama pants with red piping. Her little tank top is rose pink with cream spots. On her head she wears a darker rose-pink puffy nightcap with dark cream spots, a light cream headband and trimming, and a dark maroon ribbon tying it down. Her little wings are bright pink, and she has no lower wings like the other ones. This is Piff.
"It's sad that your friends aren't being themselves anymore," Lockette said.
"All because of them wanting to protect the people they cherish," Amore added, looking like she wanted to cry.
"They must have felt being grown up was to take away the fun in their lives," Muse sighed.
"But that's so wrong!" Chatta huffed, "If they aren't happy, what makes you think the others will despite wanting to help them!?"
"And it won't change anything if they stay the same after the threat is eliminating," Digit noted.
Piff looked sad through her friends' talk, knowing how they felt. She remembered Claudio the most and liked seeing him whenever he was around. When he came back from being the Drowned Emperor, she was equally determined to get him back to his old self, comforting him while sitting on his head to keep his bad thoughts from triggering suicidal impulses. Now hearing that he wasn't the same anymore made her want to cry. Seeing this, Crystal immediately cradled the baby to comfort her.
"Yeah, it's going to be okay," She cooed to the baby. "This is why we're here, so his friends can get him and Jaden back."
"I can't believe this is hurting him this badly," Jesse sighed, "We're okay, Allyson and I... Everyone he cares for is back home... And now another fight is upon us, and he thinks the best way to fight is to turn away from those who'd help." He then frowned, "Although Jaden's big problem was that everyone hated him for just dueling for fun and not without a purpose."
"And he didn't realize it despite fighting for that purpose, yes?" the N. Academy teacher figured. "He only saw the fun of enjoying a duel, even against enemies threatening all that he loved. He'll continue fighting for his purpose by staying at Duel Academy... And we're here to make sure he and Claudio fight with their friends than without."
The students and Duel Spirits nodded as the latter vanished while the former reached a door.
"Through here," the security officer said to the three people. "Mr. Scrapper and Mr. Kaiba are expecting you."
The North Academy duelists walk through the door and found themselves at a large dueling room with bleacher seats.
But surprising them were the people inside...
Axel Brodie, Fidel Rodriguez, Jim Cook, Yuri Grahmm, Kal Wilde, Shirley, Kylie, Kai Mason, Tetsu Ecada, and Bastion Misawa.
"So, you finally made it!" Yuri waved to the three.
"This is just like that boat ride on the way to Duel Academy beginning of the year." Tetsu smirked, having one fond memory of Adrian when they though that the North Academy duelists were like ghosts; never showing up around the boat.
"Hey everyone," Crystal waved back with a smile on her face.
"This is one big reunion," Jesse quipped as he and Crystal ran over to the group.
Valencia then walked over to Bastion, "So, you're also back? I thought you stayed behind."
Bastion nodded, "It was the plan until this whole thing started. I thought I would have to tell everyone, but it looks like someone beat me to it."
"Good to see you, Valencia," Kai greeted.
"Likewise, gentlemen," She smiled back.
"And boy, we have a lot to share between the lot of us," Kal stated. "But seeing some familiar faces does make the day easier."
Soon, the doors from the other side of the arena opened to reveal two men. The first was Seth Scrapper, stoic as ever. However, the second person was a new face to everyone else.
It was a young man with tan skin with grayish-purple eyes and short, black hair. He wore white business suit with the jacket open, showing the purple dress shirt and blue necktie underneath. He was also wearing an Academy issued Duel Disk.
"Welcome everyone," the young man greeted, "Sorry that Seto couldn't be here; he and Pegasus had a meeting in America. He'll be back in a few days."
"No problem," Bastion replied. "And who might you be?"
Seth spoke up, "This here is the Vice-President of Kaiba Corporation, Mokuba Kaiba."
"You're Mokuba Kaiba!?" Everyone except Axel, Fidel, Kai, Kai, and Valencia shouted.
"Not the same reaction we had, but surprising all the same," Fidel shrugged as Axel smirked.
"Whoa, you're all grown up," Yuri pointed out.
Mokuba winked at everyone, "Yup, Big Bro and I had some great genes to stay so young and grow all the same! Also, I'm a far cry from the little kid I once was. Even without Seto here, I can run this place without much help from the executives thanks to all the training and classes he gave me. But in any case, we're here to help train you guys against this threat we were told about."
"Whoa, you are different from your brother," Tetsu pointed out. "He would be skeptical about this."
The Vice President sighed, "Yeah, he finally gets it... Especially after what happened to Duel Academy some months ago when it disappeared. Although, it was a lot to take in seven years ago." He then turned to Seth and nodded to him.
"In any case, you all received the call from Miss Belmonte aside from Axel and Fidel being here on behalf of Mr. Pegasus," Seth announced. "Some strange forces are invading the world, starting from Duel Academy through dimensions. However, from what Tetsu, Bastion, Mr. Mason, Jim, Yuri, and Mr. Wilde had stated, they are going worldwide despite frequenting Academy Island. You are here to receive training to combat the threat."
The students nodded.
"As such, we'll use this DuelTek system to analyze your dueling." Mokuba noted as he took out a remote from his pocket and pressed a button. From the ceiling, a machine was being lowered down looking like a small robot inside a sphere, wearing any old-style Duel Disk from Battle City, but still looked brand new. "So, who's first?"
Crystal walked towards the arena with Valencia being surprised.
"She wants to go first?" the N. Academy teacher mused.
"Yeah, shocking," Jesse added.
Mokuba smiled, "Okay then, the DuelTek machine will battle you with a deck from our database. That way, it can change when it faces the rest of you!"
"That's fair," Bastion nodded, "If it used the same deck every time, we'd have the advantage."
Crystal then activated her duel disk and drew her opening hand.
DuelTek then activated, sensing Crystal's active duel disk and drew its virtual hand.
DUEL!
Crystal: 8000
KC DuelTek: 8000
"I'll go first," Crystal announced, drawing her sixth card. "I'll start off by setting a Monster in defense mode and a card facedown!"
"Turn start. Draw." the Duel Machine announced as it drew a card from its deck. "Activating Spell: Graceful Charity! Drawing three cards and then discarding two." It then proceeded to draw more cards and sent of two cards to the graveyard. "Monster Card: Set." It then selected one card from its hand and set it on the field. "Turn End."
"Okay, the machine also defended on the first turn?"
"My move," Crystal announced, drawing her next card. "I'll Flip Summon my monster! I reveal Luna, the Moon Advisor!" The Magical Girl Duelist's card flipped over to reveal a dark purple cat with a crescent moon on its forehead. (3/1000/1000) "Once Summoned, I can add a Monster Card with the word "Scout" in its name!" She added her selected card to her hand and then played it, "Next, I summon Scout of the Moon!"
Soon, a starry silhouette of an odango-haired girl appeared in the sky with a heart-shaped brooch. It let out numerous strands of pink ribbons around the body that combined to make a white fitted leotard, a blue collar with two white stripes, a red bow on the back of her blue miniskirt, and a red-front bow with the Heart-Shaped Brooch sewn to it, white gloves with red rings on the end, red knee-length boots, and a golden crescent moon placed on her tiara, and on the top of her boots. (4/1200/1200)
"While she's on the field, she gains 500 ATK for each Scout on the field." She continued as the Scout got ready for battle. (4/1200-1700/1200-1700) "Attack the set Monster! Moon Tiara Action!" Scout of the Moon took off her tiara, charging it with energy before throwing it at the Set Monster. When the projectile hit, the Set card revealed a small, black cat with a golden medallion around its neck before vanishing. (2/500/300)
"A Cat of Ill Omen's Flip Effect activates," the computer announced, "I select one Trap Card from my deck and place it on top of my Deck."
"But your field is bare!" Crystal stated. "Luna, attack directly!"
The cat hissed as it rushed across the field and scratched the computer with furious claws, causing it to go static.
Crystal: 8000
KC DuelTek: 7000
"I end my turn." Crystal concluded.
"Turn start. Draw." the machine announced, drawing its card. "Standby Phase: Activating Darklord Marie's effect in the Graveyard. I gain 200 Life Points."
Crystal: 8000
KC DuelTek: 7200
"That would explain Graceful Charity on its first turn," Crystal mused.
"Next: Activating Continuous Magic Card: Gravekeeper's Servant." The computer continued, revealing its Spell.
Jesse frowned, "That card forces Crystal to mill a card each time she attacks."
"Setting one card facedown and summoning Spirit of the Breeze in attack mode." The machine continued as a female fairy appeared with dragonfly wings and a gossamer gown. (4/0/1800)
"That's an obvious trap." Jesse continued.
Mokuba smirked, "You'll see in a minute."
"Turn End."
"My turn," Crystal announced, drawing her next card.
"Continuous Trap Activate," The computer interrupted as it revealed its facedown card, "Macros Cosmos! While this card is active, all cards will be Banished if sent to the Graveyard."
Crystal gasped, "Oh no! With Gravekeeper's Servant in play, I can't even send cards to the graveyard and attack! I'm locked out!"
"It used two old cards to create an attack lock," Jesse stated. "Incredible."
"Told ya," Mokuba stated. "Rare cards are good and all, but many duelists forget that the old cards end up having uses with newer cards."
Crystal sighed, "I can still do this, I summon Scout of Mercury and increase Scout of the Moon's ATK!"
Appearing from the circle, a silhouette of a blue haired girl appeared and used a wand, tipped with the symbol of Mercury, to control water as multiple strands of blue wrapped against her slender body, they came together and formed her heroic uniform in a ripple effect. The entire appearance consisted of a blue tiara gem, earrings, choker, collar, the bow that stand out on her chest, gloves that fit to her elbows, skirt, and boots with white V-lined stripes on the top. The bow on the back of her skirt was light blue. (4/1300/1500) (4/1700-2200/1700-2200) "I end my turn."
"Turn start." The computer drew its next card, "Gaining 200 Life Points from Darklord Marie and 1000 from Spirit of the Breeze!"
Both the female Monsters on its side blew a calming breeze across the field, increasing the machine's Life Points.
Crystal: 8000
KC DuelTek: 7400-8600
"Activating Golden Ladybug in hand." The computer continued, revealing the card in its hand. "Revealing during Standby Phase, I gain 500 Life Points."
Crystal: 8000
KC DuelTek: 9100
"Summoning Cure Mermaid in attack mode." It continued bringing out a beautiful mermaid in a pink dress and a red fish tail. She winked at her opposition. (4/1500/800) "Turn End."
"Now it'll gain 800 Life Points on the standby phases," Seth stated. "Meaning a lot more Life Points."
"My turn," Crystal announced, drawing her next card. "I summon Scout of Jupiter!"
Soon, a silhouette of a tall, brunette girl appeared and held up a small, green wand. A couple of bright-green lightning discs had surrounded her as she held out her left arm, and then the neon-green sparks of electricity began turning in a clockwise motion, until her sailor scout suit was formed around her. Her sailor suit was identical to Mercury's and Mars', except the Jupiter warrior's colors were green, both of her bows and rose earrings were pink, and her feet were slipped into a pair of short green high heel boots with white laces. (4/1600/1500), (4/2200-2700/2200-2700) "I set one card facedown to end my turn."
"Turn start," The computer announced, drawing its next card, "Activating Quick-Play Spell Quick Summon! Allows Normal Summoning of one monster from hand. Selecting Fire Princess."
"Uh oh!" Crystal gasped as she saw a woman dressed in a red robe and carried an oak staff. (4/1300/1500)
"Standby Phase, activating Golden Ladybug's effect." The computer continued revealing itself from the hand. "Now gaining Life Points from Darklord Marie, Golden Ladybug, Cure Mermaid and Spirit of the Breeze."
A big sparkle rained down onto the machine's field from the four monsters' effects.
Crystal: 8000
KC DuelTek: 9100-9600-10400-11400
"And each time Life Points is gained, Fire Princess deals 500 points of damage!" Jesse gasped.
Crystal screamed as a tower of flames erupted around her field.
Crystal: 6000
KC DuelTek: 11400
"Turn End."
"Since it's gaining Life Points from different sources, Fire Princess can deal more damage," Fidel stated. "It doesn't have to fight; it just needs to prevent its opponent from doing anything."
"Meaning Crystal needs a card to stop this strategy or she's out in almost three turns," Axel noted.
"My move," Crystal announced, drawing her next card. Once she saw it, she smiled, "Yes! This is what I was waiting for! I pay 1200 Life Points to Special Summon Outer Scout of Uranus in defense mode!" An orange light erupted from the ground, carrying the silhouette of another woman, this time with short, blonde hair. Her vastly dominant color was navy blue on her tiara gem, collar, choker, gloves, back waist bow, skirt, and boots and her accent color was her yellow front bow. She wore one single gold hoop earring in her left ear, her collar had no stripes, her choker had no gems attached to it, her shoulder pads were normal, and her gloves were wrist-length. Her shoes were loose navy-blue boots (6/2500/2400), (4/2700-3200/2700-3200)
Crystal: 3800
KC DuelTek: 11400
"Now the stage is set for this card," She continued, activating her next card, "The Spell Card Heavy Storm!"
"Trap Activate: Dark Bribe." The Computer countered, revealing its facedown card. "Your Spell effect is negated, and you draw 1 card."
Crystal smiled as she drew her card while seeing her spell negated.
"She's smiling after her plan foiled?" Kai wondered.
Jesse smirked, "No, she just got something out of the way. I'm guessing she had that card in reserve until she had another card ready."
"I activate the Spell Card Uranus World Shaking!" Crystal continued, playing another card. This card can allow me to destroy all Monsters or Spells and Traps on the field and deal 500 points of damage for each card destroyed while Outer Scout of Uranus is on the field! I choose to destroy your Monsters!"
Gathering up energy in her right hand, Uranus raised her hand to the sky and called, "Uranus World Shaking!" She threw the energy into the ground, causing it to travel to the ground and split apart to catch the computer's four monsters in its wake, obliterating them from the field and damaged the computer.
Crystal: 3800
KC DuelTek: 9400
"And I'll end my turn by switching all Monsters except Scout of the Moon to defense mode." She stated as the Scouts took a knee leaving Moon and Uranus to get into an attack stance.
"Turn start." The computer announced, drawing the next card. "Activating Golden Ladybug's effect."
Crystal: 3800
KC DuelTek: 9600-10100
"Activating Magic Planter: Sending Macro Cosmos to the Graveyard and draw two cards." Macro Cosmos vanished from the field, prompting two more cards to be drawn. "Next, Pot of Greed." It then drew another two cards. "Preparations complete."
"Uh oh," Crystal whispered.
"Now let's see if she's ready for this," Seth stated.
"If the opponent has Monster Cards on their field and I do not, I can Special Summon Level Warrior," The computer stated, "When Special Summoned, it becomes a Level 4 Monster." In a burst of stars, a man in a red superhero suit appeared. (3-4/300/600)
"Next, activating Spell Card One for One," It continued, "Sending Golden Ladybug to the Graveyard and Special Summoning Sunny Pixie from the deck." A female pixie with gossamer wings appeared. (1/300/400) "Then, Summoning White Magician Pikeru." A young girl wearing a white dress with a furry hat appeared. (2/1200/0) "Tuning Level 4 Level Warrior and Level 2 Pikeru with Level 1 Sunny Pixie."
"A Synchro Summon!" Crystal said, bracing herself for what was coming as the Pixie became a Tuning Ring while the two monsters became six stars.
"Synchro Summon. Level 7 Ancient Sacred Wyvern." The computer announced as the energy created a huge, serpentine like an oriental dragon. It had pure white scales, two tiny wings, and a head shaped like an inverted triangle with a long mane of golden hair. (7/2100/2000)
"2100 ATK," Jesse mused, "It must have an effect since Uranus could attack it next turn.
"Sunny Pixie's effect activates: Gain 1000 Life Points using it in a Synchro Summon for a LIGHT Monster." The computer announced as a white sparkle surrounded it.
Crystal: 3800
KC DuelTek: 11100
"Ancient Scared Wyvern's effect activates," It continued, "Gain ATK equal to the difference in the players' Life Points."
Crystal and Jesse gasped as the Wyvern roared, glowing from its ATK increase. (7/2100-9400/2000)
"If it attacks, she's done!" The Crystal Beast duelist shouted.
"Attacking Scout of the Moon." The computer announced, "Sacred Breath." The wyvern breathed out a white flame, heading for the Moon Scout, leaving her to cower in fear.
"The effect of Luna, the Moon Advisor activates," Crystal countered, "After being flipped face up, all Monsters must target her for attacks."
Luna leapt into the breath attack, causing her to shatter into pixels. Seeing this, the Scouts felt disheartened for the loss of their friends. Even Crystal sighed at what happened.
Jesse gave a sad smile as well, "Right, despite them not being real spirits, Crystal has empathy with her Monsters."
"Turn End." The computer announced.
"But will that power of hers win the match?" Bastion wondered. "I know she's skilled, but with how it's looking she's soon to lose."
"My move," Crystal announced and drew her next card. She eyed the card and nodded, "I end my turn."
'I hope that's what I think it is,' Jesse thought.
"Turn start." The computer drew its next card, "Darklord Marie's effect activate. Gain 200 Life Points."
Crystal: 3800
KC DuelTek: 11300
The sparkling of Marie's effect caused Wyvern's ATK to increase. (7/9400-9600/2000)
"Attack." The computer announced as the Synchro Monster charged its ATK.
Crystal smirked as she revealed the card she drew last turn, "I activate Masked Man of Roses' effect from the hand! I can negate the attack and Special Summon him to the field!"
Suddenly, a red rose was shot out of nowhere and was stuck into the middle of the field. Jumping down near the, stood a man, no older than at the age of twenty; slim build, dressed in a tuxedo, wearing a cape, top hat, and a white mask. Immediately on sight, Scout of the Moon eyes went heart shaped. (6/2400/2300)
"Nice, a Monster Card that negates an attack and summons itself to the field," Yuri grinned as Kylie nodded.
"That is impressive," Seth nodded with a smile.
"Turn end." The computer stated.
"My move," Crystal announced. Once she saw the card, she took a deep breath and stated, "Now the stage is set! I activate the Equip Spell Imperial Silver Crystal!" A shining crystal appeared in the sky, illuminating the field. It slowly descended into Scout of the Moon's hands. "I activate its effect: If Scout of the Moon is on the field with one or more other Scouts, I can perform a Fusion Summon with her and other Monsters in my deck! I fuse Scout of the Moon with Scout of Venus and Mars in my deck."
Everyone gasped as Scout of the Moon raised her hands, disappearing into a shining vortex with the spirits of Venus and Mars following her.
"The beautiful maiden of the Moon! Merge with the guardians and return to your origin! Fusion Summon! Descend, O Maiden of the Kingdom! Serene Princess of the Moon!"
When the vortex disappeared, Scout of the Moon returned. But this time, she was in a beautiful, white gown and white heels. Also, her demeanor completely changed to a calming state that made her aura of beauty even more stunning. (8/2800/2000)
"Wow..." Jesse gasped, "She actually did it... Crystal told me she had a Monster Card that she called her own 'Rainbow Dragon' of her deck."
"Whoa, so this one's must be on par in terms of ability," Mokuba figured.
The princess looked back to Crystal and nodded back with a sweet smile. Crystal nodded back as she announced her next move.
"Serene Princess of the Moon activates! When She's Fusion Summoned with Imperial Silver Crystal, she gains ATK of Scout of the Moon before the Fusion! Meaning 3200 ATK!" The Princess gained a white aura, increasing her power. (8/2800-6000/2000)
"It's still not enough, amiga," Fidel announced.
"I activate her next effect, she gains 1000 Life Points for each Monster on my side of the field," She continued, "Meaning the gap between our Life Points will cause Ancient Sacred Wyvern's ATK to decrease." The white aura transferred to Crystal, increasing her Life Points.
Crystal: 7800
KC DuelTek: 11300
The Wyvern growled at its power loss. (7/9600-5600/2000)
"With Gravekeeper's Servant still on the field, I send the top card of my deck to the Graveyard to Attack your Monster!" Crystal continued, milling a card. "Illuminating Moon Blast!" The Princess gathered energy from the crystal, blasting the Synchro Monster into pixels in an instant.
Crystal: 7800
KC DuelTek: 10900
"Alright, now she has to keep up the pressure and she'll win!" Jesse cheered.
"Not just yet," Seth stated as he pointed to the DuelTek.
"Activating Ancient Sacred Wyvern's effect, paying 1000 Life Points to Special Summon it from the Graveyard." The computer announced as its Life Points decreased.
Crystal: 7800
KC DuelTek: 9900
Soon, a shining light brought back the massive Synchro Monster. (7/2100-4200/2000)
"I end my turn with a facedown card." Crystal concluded. "It's going to be tough, but now I have a chance."
"Turn start." The Computer announced, drawing its next card. Then Darklord Marie increased both its Duelist's Life Points and Ancient Sacred Wyvern's ATK. (7/4200-4400/2000)
Crystal: 7800
KC DuelTek: 10100
"Setting one card," the computer set its card, "Attacking Scout of Mercury." The wyvern breathed its flames, scorching the blue-haired scout to nothing. The Princess felt saddened at the loss of her friend. "Turn End."
"My move," Crystal announced, drawing her next card, "I activate Princess of the Moon's effect! I'll increase my Life Points by 3000 Life Points!"
"Trap Activate: Bad Reaction to Simochi." The DuelTek countered, revealing its Continuous Trap.
Crystal grunted as she felt her Life Points drop with her Monsters gasping at the power gap increasing. (7/4400-7400/2000)
Crystal: 4800
KC DuelTek: 10100
"Whoa, it even has anti-healing strategies?" Jesse gasped.
"Considering it doing everything to damage with the Fire Princess combo," Mokuba figured. "I'd say it was a given that it would counter moves that would do anything to close the Life Point gap. Most duelists would find away to overpower, but that would quickly run out its welcome. Healing Life Points would be the best way."
"But now Crystal no longer has that option," Seth added. "She'll have to work out another strategy."
The Magical Duelist sighed as she had her monster float away from the front lines, "I end my turn by switching Serene Princess to the defense mode."
"Turn start." The Computer announced while gaining Life Points from Darklord Marie.
Crystal: 4800
KC DuelTek: 10300
(7/7400-7600/2000)
"Ancient Sacred Wyvern, destroy Masked Man of Roses." The wyvern launched its flames once more destroying the tuxedo-wearing warrior. Seeing this, the Princess cried with tears running down her cheeks. "Turn End."
"My move," Crystal announced, drawing her next card. Despite the hurt look she got from seeing another one of her monsters destroyed, she now grinned, "Got you!"
Seth and Mokuba wondered what she just had, while Jesse smiled as he thought his partner will turn the tables.
"I activate the Trap Card, Soul Fusion!" She continued, revealing her facedown card, "I pay 1000 Life Points to Fusion Summon by banishing Monsters from my Graveyard!" A red aura surrounded her while the white aura brightened on the Wyvern.
Crystal: 3800
KC DuelTek: 10300
(7/7600-8600/2000)
"The card I sent with Gravekeeper's Servant's effect was Masked Man of the Moonlight," Crystal declared, "So, I can Banish him and Masked Man of Roses to bring out another face to stand by my Princess!"
Soon, the soul of the black-tuxedoed man was now joined with another man clad in a white cloak and turban before being absorbed into a Fusion Vortex.
"Two Guardian Souls of Man! Merge as one and become the lost Prince! Fusion Summon! Descend, O Prince of the Earth Kingdom! Prince Endymion!"
Now descending on the field was the man that looked identical to his material counterparts, wearing black armor with a red cape flowing behind his back and a sword at his hip. (8/2800/2000) He then looked to the distraught Princess and helped her up. Once she saw the man before her, she was elated to see him alive and they embraced.
"Prince Endymion's effect activates!" Crystal announced, "When Summoned while Serene Princess is on the field, all card effects on your side of the field are negated!"
Mokuba gasped, "Meaning no matter if the Wyvern revives again, it won't gain ATK!"
The Wyvern roared weakly as its white aura faded. (7/8600-2100/2000)
"Also, his ATK becomes the equivalent of his Princess." Crystal continued as Endymion looked away from his love and prepared for battle. (8/2800-6800/2000) "Finally, I activate the Spell Fairy Meteor Crush and equip it to my Princess!" Soon, a starry aura surrounded the Monster in question.
"Clever," Seth nodded, "Wyvern can still revive using the effect from the Graveyard, but now it doesn't matter if it revives. Crystal's won.
"Attack Ancient Sacred Wyvern!" Crystal announced as Endymion unsheathed his sword and slashed the Wyvern into pixels.
Crystal: 3800
KC DuelTek: 5600
However, the DuelTek did not make any moves. Crystal smiled at this and shouted, "Princess, attack and end this duel!"
Another charged attack from the Silver Crystal blasted the dueling computer, erasing its life points.
"Terminating Duel." The computer announced as it shut down.
Crystal: 3800, Winner
KC DuelTek: 0
The holograms disappeared as Crystal deactivated her duel disk and sighed in relief. The students cheered as the teachers applauded.
"Impressive dueling to fool the computer like that," Seth praised. "Even with it countering your life gaining effects, you fought hard."
"Of course, if I didn't even try to fight back, I'd never recover," Crystal noted.
The head of security smiled, "Nice resolve!" He then turned to the rest of the duelists, "Who is next!?"
"I'll go," Jesse grinned as he ran over to Crystal's side, after seeing my friend here fired up, I can't resist the next duel!" Crystal and Valencia giggled at Jesse's enthusiasm.
Mokuba laughed as well, "Well, I can't argue with that logic."
Crystal patted her friend on the back before leaving the field and back to the other students, receiving her praise from her fellow students and teachers.
"But…" The Vice President paused with a grin, "What say to you having a duel against me?"
"You?" Jesse gasped.
Tetsu couldn't help but grin, "Oh yeah, I heard that Mokuba has improved on the game from Seth."
"That's right," Seth nodded with a smirk, "I think you'll find him with a greater challenge than a computer."
The Crystal Beast Duelist smiled, "All the more reason to face you... And an honor!"
The Vice President nodded as he took his place on the field, "Thanks... But I think its an honor to face the Legendary Crystal Beasts!"
Both players activated their duel disks and drew their hands
DUEL!
Jesse: 8000
Mokuba: 8000
"I'll start it off," Jesse announced, drawing his sixth card. "I summon Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth!" With a loud trumpeting, a large, grey-furred mammoth with four, white tusks, and an amber jewel embedded in its forehead. (4/1700/1600) "Next, I place one card facedown and play the Continuous Spell Crystal Tree!" He concluded as a Set Card and a small tree with no leaves appeared.
"Not bad," Seth nodded. "One of his strongest Crystal Beasts and set up for more to come out. That facedown card must be defense." He then turned to the younger Kaiba sibling. "But how will you fare against our Vice-President?"
"My turn," Mokuba announced, drawing his sixth card. "I activate the Spell Card One for One! This lets me send 1 Monster card from my hand to the Graveyard and Special Summon a Level 1 Monster from my Deck." He then discarded one monster and then took his choice from his Deck. "Come out Battlewasp – Dart the Hunter!"
In a flash, a small purple bee with green wings appeared. (1/100/100)
"Then, I'll summon Battlewasp – Arbalest the Rapidfire!" A larger purple bee with golden face, red eyes, and four wings appeared. (4/1800/800) "When Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Insect-Type Monster from the Graveyard! Come out Sting the Poison!" A brown colored bee with pink wings and stinger appeared. (2/400/800) "Then, I can use his effect to add another Battlewasp from my deck to the hand! I pick another Dart the Hunter!"
Crystal gasped, "No way! He summoned three Monsters and has another one waiting in his hand?"
"Wow," Jesse smiled. "I've heard the rumors about your dueling prowess being leaps and bounds from how you were a kid, but man your first turn and you're already overwhelming."
Mokuba laughed bit, "Thanks, but it's not over yet. "Next, the Continuous Spell Dark Room of Nightmare!" He continued playing his Spell, "Then I'll attack your Mammoth with Arbalest!"
Arbalest buzzed as it rammed its stinger into the massive beast, shattering it into amber shards that left pieces on Jesse's back field.
Jesse: 7900
Mokuba: 8000
"Amber Mammoth's effect places itself in my Spell/Trap Zone!" Jesse announced, before revealing his facedown card, "Next, I activate the Continuous Trap Crystal Conclave! When a Crystal Beast is destroyed, I can Special Summon another one from my Deck! Come out, Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise!"
An emerald flashed on the field, shattering to unleash a green tortoise with emeralds embedded in its shell. Its eyes peered through the shell, assessing the field. (4/600/2000)
"Also, my Crystal Tree gains a Counter." A rainbow crystal grew onto the tree (CT: 1)
"However, I can activate the effect of Dart the Hunter in my hand!" Mokuba countered, revealing his previously chosen card, "I can discard it to deal damage equal to your destroyed monster's ATK! That's 1700!"
Jesse gasped another Dart launched itself from Mokuba's hand jabbed the Crystal Beast user's duel disk.
Jesse: 6200
Mokuba: 8000
"And then Dark Room of Nightmare activates after dealing effect damage," the VP of KaibaCorp continued, "I will deal an extra 300 points of damage!" A red aura gripped Jesse, damaging him further.
Jesse: 5900
Mokuba: 8000
Jesse then realized it, "It didn't have to wait for my Monster to hit the Graveyard?"
"That's right," Seth stated, "All it has to do is destroy the monster for effects to work. Most cards do say 'destroyed and sent to the graveyard'. But it's different here."
"And that's not all!" Mokuba smiled, "Now, I tune Level 4 Arbalest with Level 2 Sting!" Sting transformed into two Tuning Rings that surrounded Arbalest, reduced to four stars. "That's right, I've learned to Synchro Summon! Now fly the skies! Battlewasp – Halberd the Charge!"
Appearing in the skies was a large, blue and silver wasp. It moved like a flying humanoid with magenta wings, arming itself with a halberd. (6/2500/800)
"I place one card facedown to end my turn."
"He waited until after the battle to Synchro Summon and deal more damage," Crystal mused.
"Here's my move," Jesse continued, drawing his next card, "I summon Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus!" A sapphire shined onto the field, unleashing a white horse with blue wings and a horn made of sapphire. (4/1800/1200) "When he's summoned, I can add a Crystal Beast to my Spell/Trap Zone! I choose Amethyst Cat!" An amethyst jewel appeared next to Amber Mammoth's, causing another fruit to grow on the tree. (CT: 2) "Then, I play the Spell Rare Value! You send one Crystal Beast in my Spell/Trap Zone to the Graveyard and I draw two cards."
"I choose Ameythst Cat," Mokuba stated as the jewel vanished while Jesse drew his cards.
"Then I'll add the equip Spell Crystal Release to give Pegasus 800 ATK!" the N. Academy duelist continued as Pegasus' horn shined, (4/1800-2600/1200) "Attack his Halberd!" Pegasus took flight and charged at the Battlewasp.
"Continuous Trap Activate!" Mokuba countered, revealing his facedown card, "Battlewasp – Nest! I can Special Summon another Battlewasp from my hand or Deck and then end the Battle Phase! Pin the Bullseye!"
A giant wasp next appeared in the sky, causing a swarm of yellow wasps with red, sharp noses to appear and pushed back the Crystal Beasts, making him retreat. Soon one of the wasps stayed behind while the others went back into the nest. (1/200/200) "I can only use this effect one more time."
"Then I'll activate Crystal Tree's effect to send it to the Graveyard and add two more Crystal Beasts," Jesse stated as the tree vanished, leaving behind the fruit that planted in Jesse's Spell/Trap Zone, "I choose Jade Unicorn and Aquamarine Swan!" Soon a jade stone and an aquamarine jewel appeared on the field. "I end my turn."
"My move," Mokuba announced, drawing his next card, "I activate Magic Planter to send my Nest to the Graveyard and draw two cards."
"Nice move," Jim figured, "He'd lose the card after another attack, but he's making it a resource for drawing from his deck.
"And there's no telling what the Battlewasps on the field will do," Yuri added.
"Next, I activate Pin the Bullseye's effect!" Mokuba continued, "I deal 200 points of damage! And that will also set off Dark Room of Nightmare!"
Pin launched a red stinger from its nose, amplified by the Continuous Spell, hitting Jesse's disk.
Jesse: 5700-5400
"I activate the Spell Revival Swarm to Special Summon the Tuner Monster Sting the Poison in defense mode!" Mokuba continued, bringing back the Tuner Battlewasp. (2/400/800) "Then, I'll add Twinbow the Attack with its effect and summon it! Also in defense mode!" He then added the Monster card from his deck and bringing out a dark purple and yellow wasp, moving its arms and wings like the shape of a bow. (3/1000/500) "Now I attack your Pegasus with Halberd!"
Everyone gasped, "But Pegasus has more ATK!" Bastion stated.
"True, but when Halberd attacks a monster with more ATK than itself, that monster loses half its ATK!" The VP continued as a massive wasp swarm suddenly surrounded Pegasus, causing him to flinch. (4/2600-1300/1200) "Now finish him!" Halberd slashed with his weapon, slashing the Crystal Beasts into fragments.
Jesse: 4200
Mokuba: 8000
"And then when he deals battle damage, Halberd deals 200 damage for each Battlewasp I control! With 4 that's 800!" Mokuba announced, "Plus another 300 for my Dark Room!" Halberd then rammed itself into Jesse, causing more points to drop.
Jesse: 3400-3100
Mokuba: 8000
"The Vice President has some powerful moves," Fidel whistled. "Powerful attacks and powerful effect damage... Not to mention a killer swarm..."
"Well, considering his brother's strength," Axel figured, "He's certain to have skills of his own."
Tetsu then looked to Seth and smirked, "So, a deck like yours?"
Everyone then turned to Seth, who now smiled, "Of course you figured it out, Tetsu. I did oversee much of Mokuba's duel training... One of which is to know a battling style like his teacher's."
Jesse then realized and turned to Mokuba, "This isn't your real deck?"
Mokuba nodded, "Yeah, like Seth said, I learned the ropes by using this deck since I know Seth's battling style the most aside from my brother's. I figured it would be best to assess your skills with this deck aside from my real one."
Jesse smiled, "Then I guess I need to get better! By activating Crystal Conclave once more!"
"Hmm?"
"I'll Special Summon Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle!" He announced as a ruby appeared on the field, shattering into a small, purple, cat-like creature with a ruby sphere in its tail. (3/300/300)
"When she's Special Summoned, I can Special Summon all the Crystal Beasts in my Spell Trap Zone except Amber Mammoth! Ruby Flash!"
Ruby lifted her tail, firing three beams at most of the crystals and freeing its fellow beasts, bringing them to the front line. (4/1800/1200), (3/1000/1400), (4/1800/1600)
"Pegasus adds Diamond Phoenix to the field and Jade Unicorn adds Lapis Lazuli Dolphin to my hand!" He stated as he added his Dolphin card while a diamond appeared next to Amber Mammoth.
"I place two cards facedown to end my turn." Mokuba concluded, "Looks like you're ready to bring it out."
"Right" Jesse announced, drawing his next card, "I activate the second effect of Crystal Conclave. I send it to the Graveyard and then take Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth on my field and one of your facedown card to our hands." The two cards in question vanished off the field, prompting the players to add them into their hands.
Crystal gasped happily, "He's going to do it!"
Bastion and the Overseas duelists grinned as they knew what the Magical Girl Duelist was talking about.
Jesse grinned as he announced, "Next, with at least 7 Crystal Beasts on the field and in my graveyard, I'll Special Summon my ace! Come forth, the Ultimate Crystal God! Rainbow Dragon!"
Soon, seven colored lights emitting from the Crystal Beasts from the Field and Graveyard combined and made a bright aura in the sky. A large serpentine figure descended to the field, revealing to be a white-scaled dragon with huge wings on its back and head. Seven colored jewels lined the side of its body. It then roared loudly, reverberating around the room. (10/4000/0)
Seth looked in awe at the creature, "So this is the true face of Jesse's best Monster... It looks better without being possessed."
"And with 4000 ATK, Jesse now has the advantage," Kal grinned.
Everyone else gazed at the dragon, seeing its rare appearance.
"Then, I'll attack your Halberd with my Rainbow Dragon!" Jesse announced, "Over the Rainbow!" Rainbow Dragon then opened its mouth and unleashed a bright beam that vaporized the Battlewasp Synchro Monster to nothing. The impact caused to Mokuba shield himself with his disk.
Jesse: 3100
Mokuba: 5500
"Next Aquamarine Swan destroys Twinbow!" He continues as the Swan flapped her wings to create blue air sickles to cut down her opponent. "Pegasus attacks Sting!" Sting was then taken out by Pegasus' horn. "Ruby attacks Pin!" The small Crystal Beasts fired a red blast from its mouth to vaporize the small wasp. "Finally, Unicorn attacks directly!"
Then Unicorn flew into Mokuba, tackling him with her horn.
Jesse: 3100
Mokuba: 3700
"I then place one card facedown to end my turn." Jesse concluded.
"In one turn, he's closed the gap," Axel nodded, "About time, too."
"Hey, he captured the flow the duel, amigo," Fidel shrugged.
"You've gotten good! But now its time to increase the level!" Mokuba smirked.
"Uh oh," Crystal muttered as the KaibaCorp VP activated his Trap Card.
"I activate the Trap Card, Swarm from the Dead!" Mokuba announced, "After you've destroyed my Battlewasps, during End Phase, I can Special Summon them all with their effects negated! Come on back, team!"
A large swarm of wasps emerged from the ground, buzzing loudly. From them, Halberd, Pin, Sting, and Twinbow separated and landed on the field. (6/2500/800), (1/200/200), (2/400/800), (3/1000/500)
"It's time!" Mokuba announced, drawing his next card. "I'll tune all four of my monsters together!"
"Four Monsters!?" Everyone except Seth shouted as Sting became two giant Tuning Rings that surrounded the other three, becoming 10 stars.
"Swarm the battlefield together! Call forth the ultimate war machine to annihilate the enemy! Synchro Summon! Fight on! Battlewasp- Ballista the Armageddon!"
The massive swarm then combined to create a large red wasp that was as big as a combat airship. On top of its wings were two missile-like constructs and carried with it a large ballista in its massive arms. (12/3000/800)
"A level 12 Monster with only 3000 ATK!?" Jim gasped.
"What's its abilities then...?" Yuri wondered.
"When this card is Synchro Summoned, I can remove all the Insect Monsters in my Graveyard to drain 500 ATK/DEF for each of them!" Mokuba explained as he removed his Battlewasp Cards from the Graveyard, "And with seven inside the Graveyard, 3500 ATK are going to be drained from all of them!" Another wasp swarm emerged and surrounded Rainbow Dragon and the Crystal Beasts, weakening them all.
(10/4000-500/0), (4/1800-0/1200), (4/1800-0/1600), (3/1000-0/500), (3/300-0/300)
"Not good!" Fidel gasped.
"Now Ballista attack Rainbow Dragon!" Mokuba announced as Ballista fired a massive bolt from its weapon.
"It's not over yet," Jesse countered, "I activate Rainbow Dragon's effect! I'll send all the Crystal Beasts on my field to the Graveyard and have Rainbow Dragon gain 1000 ATK for each one! I'll send all 5, which includes the Amber Mammoth in my Spell/Trap Zone!"
The Crystal Beasts erupted into light pillars that were absorbed into the Dragon, energizing its strength. (10/500-5500/0) It then countered the bolt with another light breath, effectively vaporizing the massive Battlewasp.
Jesse: 3100
Mokuba: 1200
"Huh?" Kai mused.
"What's wrong?" Bastion asked.
"With the number of monsters reduced, Mokuba could've done a replay," the East Academy teacher stated. "But he continued the attack..."
Tetsu gasped, "Damn, a giant monster that's a front! These things are exactly like Blackwings! The big Synchros are a threat, but they are still deadliest as multiple monsters!"
"Exactly!" Mokuba announced, "I activate Ballista's final effect! I can Special Summon 3 of my banished Insect Monsters to the field!"
A dimensional portal opened to bring back Arbalest, Halberd, and Pin (4/1800/800), (6/2500/800), (1/200/200)
"Now activate Half Shut to reduce your Rainbow Dragon's ATK in half and Burial from a Different Dimension to return three of my Battlewasps to my Graveyard!" He continued as Rainbow Dragon growled as it lost power once more. (10/5500-2750/0) "Attack now, Halberd! And remember that when he attacks a stronger Monster, your monster loses another half of its ATK!" (10/2750-1375/0)
Jesse: 1975
Mokuba: 1200
"Then, I'll activate Halberd's next effect to deal 200 points of damage for every Battlewasp plus 300 for Dark Room of Nightmare!"
Another swarm surrounded Jesse, damaging him further.
Jesse: 1175-975
Mokuba: 1200
"Then, I activate the Trap Card Damage Capture," Jesse countered, "Since I took damage from your Halberd, I can put it as ATK to my Rainbow Dragon!" the damage aura transferred into Rainbow Dragon, energizing it a bit. (10/1375-2175)
"Then, I'll end my turn by having Pin's effect with Dark Room's!" Mokuba concluded as Pin fired another shot at Jesse's disk.
Jesse: 775-475
Mokuba: 1200
"My turn," Jesse announced, drawing his next card. "Looks like its time to step up! You've seen Crystal's new Fusion Monster, now I'm going to do it!"
Everyone gasped except Valencia smiled knowingly.
"However, this monster can be summoned by sacrificing my level 10 Ultimate Crystal Monster!" The Crystal Beast Duelist announced, "And my Rainbow Dragon is such! Now take flight once more!" Rainbow Dragon roared loudly as its aura made a seven colored fusion vortex and fly into it.
"With the colors of the rainbow! Merge together and create a brighter future! Fusion Summon! Come forth the evolution of the Ulitmate Crystal God! Rainbow Overdragon!"
Another glorious roar was heard as another serpentine dragon emerged. Along with its larger, feathered wings, the dragon had its underbelly made entirely of crystal with the seven glowing gems inside. (12/4000/0)
"The Rainbow Dragon evolved!?" Bastion gasped while everyone else was at a loss for words. Although, Crystal was now elated at the sight of the new monster.
"Now it's a level 12!?" Mokuba gasped.
"And from the looks of things, I won't have to use my monster's effects to finish this!" Jesse stated, "Go Overdragon, attack!"
"Big mistake," Mokuba countered, as he revealed a card from his hand "I can activate Battlewasp – Dagger the Assassin from my hand. Using this card, I can double the attack of Halberd and force you to attack it!"
Another wasp with its arms and wings closed together while its stinger shaped like a curved dagger attached itself to Halberd increasing its power. (6/2500-5000/800)
"Oh no, Jesse's going to lose!" Tetsu gasped.
"Looks like you should have used those effects!" the Vice President boasted as Halberd went in for the kill...
"I still won't!" Jesse smiled, as he revealed another card from his hand, "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Ultimate Crystal Aura! This increases ATK of an Ultimate Crystal Monster by the amount of the battling monster!"
A bright aura enveloped the Fusion Dragon, increasing its power. (12/4000-9000/800) Halberd couldn't stop its descent to attack and was met by a prism-like blast that engulfed it, ending the duel.
Jesse: 475, Winner
Mokuba: 0
"Whew!" Jesse said as he deactivated his duel disk. "That was incredible! You really are something great, even with a training deck!"
"Good thing I got you to push your limits in the duel," Mokuba said as he turned off his disk, "I can say the Academies are doing some good for the duelists like my brother envisioned."
"I can't wait to see you battle with your real deck," Tetsu grinned.
"All in due time," Mokuba grinned back, wagging his finger. "I mean, if it was tough to beat my training deck, my real deck will have you quaking!"
Seth chuckled and then cleared his throat, "Glad you're having fun, sir, but we need to evaluate the rest of the duelists..."
"Right, right," the VP said, snapping out of his stupor. "So, who's going next?"
As time went on, all duelists were properly evaluated by the DuelTek computer and saw that some had to struggle more than others, despite gaining victories. Afterwards, everyone sat down on the bleachers in front of the KaibaCorp faculty and Academy teachers.
"We do have our work cut out for us," Seth stated. "While your dueling hasn't wavered, we know the enemy will take advantage of your weakest moments."
The students nodded.
"Yeah, they got me one time," Tetsu said, remembering his encounter with Trueman.
"And then they know everything about us by just hearing us talk," Yuri sighed, remembering the boat ride to New Domino City.
"That's scary," Crystal whispered.
"Which means an iron will is needed," Axel nodded.
"Also, new strategies are need to go with your decks," Mokuba added. "If we can improve on that and yourselves, we can run through the enemies and save our world."
"That's right," Bastion praised. "After all, I know too well how weak the mind and heart can be manipulated."
"And seen it happen to others," Tetsu nodded.
"And we'll help our friends over at Duel Academy," Yuri declared as Kylie nodde.
"Hopefully Jaden and Claudio will recognize how they need us and their friends to help out and stop being alone," Jesse noted.
"Then let's stop moping around ourselves and get to work," Fidel said, punching his right fist into his left palm.
"Right then," Jim grinned as Shirley growled an affirmative.
However, between the dimensions, they were being watched.
"So, they want to face us and get closer to the truth..." Trueman said.
"Then, we'll make sure that it hurts... badly..." Amelie grinned. "Let's get more friends from the other side..."
With that the messengers of Darkness and Dark Light vanished...
And with that done, thanks for reading!
Next: With it close for the year to end, there's a lot of events planned for the third years to have fun. But the problem is reintroducing Jaden and Claudio to it. And with an upcoming Tag Team Tournament, time for their girlfriends to step in by dueling them!
