Whilst the duels between Chelsea, Chloe and Nicola and Jessica, Cameron and Thomas were wrapping up upstairs the duelists on the first floor where busy moving the goon squad's unconscious forms into the room they commandeered.
"You'd think Victor would lead off with his strongest agents." Amanda commented as her phone conversation with Brandon ended and she turned to the others. "Rather than leaving people with basic deck strategies for us to contend with."
"I never thought I'd see the day where you'd complain about having an easy win Amanda." Phil commented with a shrug as Dmitri set down the last robed thug and Fran handcuffed him, Amanda shook her head before leaning against the wall.
"It's not that I'm complaining, it's that he's how long to prepare for this assault?" Amanda asked as she walked up to Phil. "And yet these guys were the first line of defense."
"I think I know what his reasoning is." Adrienne responded after thinking for a moment. "He wants to keep us separated so that when he defeats Chloe and her friends, god forbid, he can come after us next."
"And that's if their souls aren't enough to bring back the Great Leviathan." Sophia chimed in as she leaned against the wall. "Because without the Egyptian God Cards, we'd be up shit creek without a paddle against that thing."
"Well, I do have some good news at least." Amanda commented as she folded her arms. "The duelists on floor two were defeated, they were the same Obelisk Blue Students who attacked Nicola last week, if it's any consolation, Nicola was among the duelists who defeated them." Amanda added before turning to Dmitri. "Tyler will be bringing down their unconscious bodies soon, I told Brandon that I'd have you meet Tyler by the stairs."
"Say no more." Dmitri nodded before he walked out of the room.
*back at Victor's office*
Victor watched Jessica, Thomas and Cameron fall one by one and messaged his forehead in annoyance as he watched Tyler gather up their unconscious forms, when he reached the bottom floor Victor temporarily unlocked the ground floor door allowing Tyler to hand their bodies off to Dmitri before running off to join the others.
"No point in being unreasonable, they were the weakest of our recruits." Victor thought before switching to the third floor. "Good, Redemption Seekers have been dealt with, I don't know what their game was, but I can't afford interference at this critical juncture, and that's another three souls for my collection." Victor thought before putting a hand to the phone to contact Juliana. "Juliana, I require a drink, bring one at your earliest convenience." Victor ordered but got no answer as Juliana wasn't there. "Juliana?" Victor asked before putting a hand to his earpiece. "Sarah, your floor is closest to mine, have you seen Juliana?"
"Not since I came up to make the final preparations." Sarah responded as she shook her head and Victor frowned. "Now that you mention it, I saw Jack near her desk shortly after the brats entered the building, didn't think much of it at the time but I saw him pocket a vial, he did it so fast that he likely thought I missed it, but he had it in his hands when he turned around." Sarah added, and Victor frowned before thinking for a moment.
"Sarah, you did a complete inventory of Dr. Schwartz's lab after the explosion, correct?" Victor asked, and Sarah nodded with a sound to confirm that she did. "I understand that you are waiting for them to arrive but there's still another three floors to go, can you check the inventory of the substance that was used on those idiots in Canada and Martin Wise's secretary?"
"The mind control stuff? I was under the impression that Schwartz had deemed that stuff to be to dangerous?" Sarah asked, and Victor nodded.
"That's the point." Victor responded, and Sarah let out a sigh.
"I have it somewhere on my floor, I'll let you know what I find." Sarah responded before hanging up and Victor placed his elbows on the desk before linking his hands together.
*meanwhile on floor three*
As the duelists raced up the stairs to floor three, they heard a familiar voice calling for an attack, and Chloe was not happy to hear him to say the least and as soon as they entered the floor his opponent collapsed to the ground, however once they realized who that person was and who the duelist waiting for them was their eyes narrowed.
"Marie? Jared? Drew?" Chloe asked as she looked at the three Redemption Seekers, Jared and Drew were already defeated but it wouldn't be long before Marie joined them as the seal closed in around her. "Erick?!"
"Ahh, so you do remember me?" Erick asked as the Scottish duelist folded his arms, the silver haired pro-leaguer had an Orichalcos Duel Disk on his arm and he grinned sadistically. "Unfortunately, your too late to save your friends."
"Why are you doing this Erick?!" Brandon demanded as he pushed to the front of the pack. "You were hand selected to be Chloe's opponent during the expulsion duels, that group included some of the best duelists in the world."
"Why? because that little bitch humiliated me!" Erick responded as he pointed at Chloe. "After my loss to an Osiris Red Student no one took me seriously as a Pro-League duelist! Ricardo got off scot free because he's the National Champion of Spain, but I don't even have that to my name!"
"Once we're done with the Orichalcos, you'll have nothing to your name." Brandon responded before getting his phone out and putting Amanda on Speaker Phone. "Amanda, it's me again, you'll never guess who we ran into on the third floor."
"Santa Claus? The Easter Bunny? At this point, nothing would surprise me." Amanda responded, and Brandon shook his head.
"Erick, yes as in, that Erick." Brandon responded, and it took Amanda a second to process it.
"You've got this on Speaker Phone, right? Erick, if you can hear me, your career as a Pro-Leaguer, among other things, is over!" Amanda responded clearly furious at the new development and Erick growled.
"Oh, go lick your girlfriend's pussy already!" Erick responded before turning his attention to Chloe. "As for you, we have unfinished business."
"Marcus." Marie called out suddenly and Marcus pushed to the center of the group before running up to the Orichalcos wall. "Take this and kick his ass with it." Marie added as she took out three cards from her deck, two from her regular deck and one from the Extra Deck, he looked at them and blinked in confusion.
"Black Stone of Legend, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon and…" Marcus trailed off as it hit him. "My Red-Eyes Black Dragon! But why?"
"It was wrong of me to steal that thing in the first place." Marie responded as she could feel her soul being taken away. "Maybe you can get better use out of those cards than me." Marie added before smiling. "Oh, and one last thing, I love you Marcus." Marie added before letting out a blood curdling scream as her soul was taken by the Orichalcos before she collapsed.
"Isn't that cute? The girl who weighs maybe a hundred pounds at most is in love with a guy more than twice her weight." Erich said sarcastically as Marcus clenched his fist before adding the cards to his deck and standing up. "Now then Chloe, it's time we…..."
"No." Marcus interrupted him as he stepped in front of Chloe and Erick glared at him. "I'll duel in Chloe's place!"
"Marcus, are you sure?" Chloe asked as she turned to her larger friend. "Because it's as he said, we have unfinished business."
"You know what? Fine, I'll duel the tub of lard." Erick responded with a shrug and Marcus grinned. "It's a pity that Amanda is still on floor one, then I'd be able to show her what she should've done in her expulsion duel against you."
"I'm not there in person but I'll happily listen to it through Brandon's phone." Amanda responded, and Erick grinned in response. "And I'm guessing they've claimed their first victims?"
"Marie, Jared and Drew, they belong to a group called the Redemption Seekers, in the interest of speed I'll have Tyler come down with their bodies after the duel in the elevator." Brandon responded as Marcus and Erick activated their duel disks.
"Might want to have Kaiba's kid stick around." Erick said as Tyler carefully picked up the unconscious bodies and carried them one by one to the elevator. "Because I'm going to single handedly wipe you all out! Just like I should've done at the expulsion duels!"
"One: you couldn't even take me out, what chance do you think you had of taking us all out?" Chloe pointed out and Erick glared at her. "Not that I'm complaining off course, since I kicked your deck's ass, I've been promoted to Ra Yellow, anyway, two: Nicola wasn't even a student at Duel Academy when I took you on, so your statement's inaccurate."
"I see you've grown a bit pedantic since our last meeting!" Erick spat at her before turning to Marcus. "And just for that, I'll let Mr. Blobby go first!"
"Mr. Blobby?" Brandon asked with a confused look on his face.
"Children's television character from the UK." Phil explained over Brandon's phone which led him to believe that Amanda had her phone on speaker phone as well. "Also, the source of my childhood nightmares, look it up at your own peril!"
"That aside, I'll be glad too!" Marcus responded as the two men drew their opening hands and Marcus looked over his hand. "From what I remember, Erick's deck is all about having no cards in his hand, as long as I keep drawing cards that make him draw, I should finish him as quickly as the girls finished off Cameron, Jessica and Thomas on the floor below." Marcus thought before looking at his hand. "I set two cards facedown and I summon Black Stone of Legend!"
"Humph, that card again?" Erick scoffed as the small black stone appeared on the field (1/0/0). "Your girlfriend used that card against me, I know what it does and if you think I'm letting you keep it on the field, you've got another thing coming!"
"We'll see about that! For now, I end my turn." Marcus responded, and Erick grinned before he drew his card.
"I won't waste any time here, in fact you should be familiar with this combo, I activate Terra-Forming!" Erick announced as he played the card and started inputting commands into his duel disk, once he retrieved the card and let his deck shuffle, he wasted no time in playing it. "I activate the Seal of the Orichalcos!" Erik announced, and the seal enveloped both men in seconds before the pentagram appeared on Erik's forehead. "I don't know if they have a McDonalds in the Orichalcos but I'm sure you'll find out soon enough! Next I activate Into the Void!"
"I remember that card, it let's you draw one card if you have three or more in your hand, but you have to toss it during the end phase." Marcus nodded in response and Erick grinned.
"Right you are." Erick responded as he drew his card. "Next I set one card facedown and a card in defense mode, your move." Erick added as he set the two cards and once, he discarded his hand Marcus drew his card.
"I'd better finish this before he brings out that Synchro Monster he used against Chloe, and I have just the trick." Marcus thought as he drew his card and pointed to Black Stone of Legend. "I activate the effect of Black Stone of Legend, I tribute it and summon one Red Eyes Monster from my deck." Marcus announced as the stone disappeared from the field and Marcus started inputting commands into his duel disk. "I don't have nearly as many Red-Eyes monsters as Marie has in her deck, but I just need the one!" Marcus added as the Red-Eyes Black Dragon appeared on the field with a roar (7/2400/2100).
"Ahh yes, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's less powerful cousin." Erick responded with a scoff before folding his arms. "And what do you plan to do with a vanilla Level 7 Dragon made famous by Joey Wheeler?"
"I'll show you! Red-Eyes attack his defense monster! Inferno Fire Blast!" Marcus commanded, and the dragon launched his famous attack at the monster….
"I activate my Trap Card Infernity Void!" Erick announced as his facedown card flipped up. "This will make the duel a lot more interesting, as long as this trap card is on the field and I have no cards in my hand your monsters can't attack so I'm afraid your "Inferno Fire Blast" is nothing more than a campfire." Erick added as the fireball disappeared. "Furthermore, as long as my hand remains empty my Infernity Monsters can attack you directly!"
"No way!" Marcus yelled out and Erick grinned sadistically. "That's beyond broken!"
"I believe Jared was his name? It doesn't matter because he said the exact same thing when I used this card against him." Erick responded with a grin and Marcus glared at him. "And you can thank my new boss for this gift by the way."
"I'm not surprised." Marcus grumbled under his breath as he glared at Erick. "All I need to do is draw A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon and his strategy goes out the window, failing that? Spellbook inside the Pot and Heaven's Lost Property will do the job just as well." Marcus thought before looking over his hand. "I end my turn." Marcus announced, and Erik drew his card.
"I just drew Infernity Archfiend, which means I can Special Summon him to the field." Erick announced as he played the card and the strange fiend appeared on the field ready for battle (4/1800/1200). "And he is Special Summoned I can add another Infernity Monster from my deck to my hand." Erick added before he started inputting commands into his duel disk and added a card to his non-existent hand when it popped out. "I won't keep you in suspense, I summon Infernity Beast!" Erick announced as he played the card and the large black dog appeared on the field (3/1600/1200). "And don't forget about the seal!"
"I was trying too." Marcus responded as Infernity Archfiend and Infernity Beast's attack points went up to 2300 and 2100 respectively. "Also, isn't that the dog Chloe mistook for a Labrador, even though she a dog owner who owns a Labrador?"
"Give me a break Marcus!" Chloe groaned as she ran a hand down her face. "I was under a lot of stress at the time!"
"I was wondering that, now you mention it." Amanda chimed in over the phone and Chloe looked about ready to bash her head against the wall.
"Like I care about her mutt! Infernity Archfiend, Infernity Beast, attack his life-points directly!" Erick commanded, and the two monsters charged right past Red-Eyes Black Dragon. "And since I don't have a hand, you can't activate Spell/Traps when my Beast attacks."
"Not that Dragon's Rage would do me much good right now anyway." Marcus thought before discarding a card. "But I can activate cards from my hand and since you just attacked directly whilst I have a Dragon Type Monster in my graveyard Dragonborn Necromancer ends the battle phase!" Marcus added as he discarded the card and a robed, dragon humanoid appeared in front of Marcus (1/0/0) and took the hits from Erik's monsters for Marcus destroying it. "Better luck next time!"
"Unless you can destroy my Infernity Void by your next end step, that next time will be on my next turn! I end my turn." Erick announced, and Marcus drew his card.
"The guy's a pick but he's right, I can't keep this up forever and it'll only take two attacks from Beast and Archfiend to send my soul to the Orichalcos." Marcus thought before looking at his hand. "I activate Blasting Vein, I destroy my facedown Dragon's Rage to draw two cards." Marcus announced as his facedown card shattered allowing him to draw two cards. "I was hoping to draw into A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon, but this will do." Marcus thought before picking up a card. "I set one card facedown and end my turn."
"Not much you can do huh? Oh, that's right, with Infernity Void on the field you can't do shit!" Erick responded as he drew his card, he took one look at it and quickly set it. "I set one card facedown, now let's see if I can finish what I started last turn, Infernity Archfiend, Infernity Beast, attack his life-points directly!" Erick commanded, and the two monsters charged into battle…...
"I activate Trap Jammer!" Marcus announced, and Erick's eyes widened as Infernity Void became inert. "And that means…" Marcus trailed off before scratching his head in confusion. "Err, what does that mean?"
"Okay, even I have to admit, this has me stumped and I'm the guy playing Infernity Void!" Erick admitted as he scratched his head. "Is there a judge around?"
"Would you settle for the current CEO of I2?" Sophia chimed in over the phone causing the two duelists to turn to Brandon. "What's the issue?"
"Erick's been using a Trap Card that prevents me from attacking whilst allowing him to bypass my monsters as long as his hand is empty." Marcus responded before frowning. "Before we continue…."
"Something that broken never would've made it anywhere near the playtest stage, let alone be released to the public." Sophia responded, and Marcus nodded in agreement. "I'm up for supporting old archetypes/decks, especially those made famous by a duelist, but the days of cards like Spellbook of Judgment being released are far behind us, anyway, back to the issue?"
"I went to attack his life-points directly, but Marcus used Trap Jammer to negate my Trap Card's effect." Erick responded as he folded his arms. "So, what happens now?"
"Are we seriously having a rule debate whilst the fate of the world is at stake?" Chloe muttered under her breath as she face-palmed. "Maybe I should've stayed in Domino City after all, would've saved me from this headache at least."
"Trust me Chloe, the feeling's mutual." Sophia sighed in annoyance before thinking for a moment. "What cards are currently on the field?"
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Infernity Archfiend, Infernity Beast, Infernity Void, the Trap Card I mentioned, and a facedown card Erick probably set to avoid having cards in his hand." Marcus responded before remembering something. "Oh, and one facedown monster that he's had on the field since the first turn."
"Again, this isn't something that usually comes up, if it was a Watt Deck like Chelsea's this wouldn't be an issue." Sophia sighed in response before deciding. "I'll rule that a replay occurs, and that Erick has the choice on whether he wants to attack Marcus's dragon or not, given that he's a former Pro-Leaguer I don't think he'd be that stupid."
"Hey, I'm still a pro-leaguer!" Erick protested, and Sophia shook her head on the other end.
"Your using the Orichalcos and have already claimed three souls and that's just what we know off, even if you manage to get a nice plea bargain when it comes to jail time trust me, you won't duel in another sanctioned tournament again." Sophia responded in a calm tone but the way she said her words told the duelists that she was just as furious at Erick as Amanda, and Erick growled. "Please continue the duel."
"Man, she does not mess around." Chloe thought with a gulp as Erick called off the attacks. "Definitely not bringing up the time I used the Orichalcos around her." Chloe thought before turning her attention back to the duel.
"I end my turn, but that's all the time your getting Marcus." Erick announced and once Infernity Void returned to normal Marcus drew his card.
"Damn it, still didn't draw Wingbeat." Marcus thought as he glanced up at Erick. "But I did draw this!" Marcus thought before playing the card. "I activate Trade In, I send a Level 8 Monster from my hand to the graveyard and in exchange I get to draw two cards." Marcus announced before he discarded the card and drew two extra cards, when he saw one of the cards, he played it immediately. "I activate Raiding the Dragon's Cave! Since I have a Level Five or higher Dragon in my graveyard, I can draw two more cards."
"If you want to deck yourself out then by all means." Erick responded with a snide grin as Marcus drew an additional two cards. "Either way, your soul will soon belong to the Orichalcos!"
"Maybe, but it was worth it because now I'm about to blow your strategy wide open!" Marcus responded, and Erick's grin disappeared from his face. "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon, and I'm using it to destroy Infernity Void!" Marcus announced as the storm washed over the field…
"You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?" Erick scoffed as his facedown card flipped up. "I activate Infernity Barrier, as you activated a Spell and I have no cards in my hand and an Infernity monster on the field, well, two but you get my point, I can negate Mystical Space Typhoon's activation and destroy it!" Erick added as the storm subsided and Marcus frowned. "Better luck next time."
"Next time you won't get a chance to negate it! I set three cards facedown and end my turn." Marcus announced as he sett the remaining three cards that he had drawn that turn and Erick drew his card.
"I think you know the routine by now." Erick commented as he drew his card, when he looked at it, he grinned bready and played it. "I activate Infernity Storm! As I have no cards in my hand this will destroy all Spell/Trap Cards you control and deal one thousand points of damage for each one."
"WHAT?!" Marcus yelled out as his eyes widened before a storm washed over the field destroying his three set cards and bringing his life-points down to 5000. "Brandon, I get the feeling I know the answer already…"
"That card never would've made near the quality control stage." Sophia responded over Brandon's phone and Marcus nodded. "Also, I'd hate to see Brandon's phone bill once this is all over."
"I come from a rich family, phone bill will likely be pocket change for dad." Brandon responded as he shook his head. "Hell, his office is here in LA, if we weren't so busy putting those scumbags down, I'd go and ask him."
"Oh, your dad's Roman Thomas? I2 does business with his company occasionally." Sophia responded once she put two and two together. "Remind me to send him your best regards when I next meet him."
"To be honest Sophia, I'd have probably spoken to him over the phone at least twice by then." Brandon admitted as he shook his head. "You should know as well as I do how operating a company as big as I2 or Roman Inc. can take away from family life."
"Been there, done that, got the t-shirt." Sophia responded with a sigh and Erick growled.
"Enough of that! Infernity Archfiend, Infernity Beast, attack his life-points directly!" Erick commanded and the two fiend monsters launched their attacks at Marcus 900. "Just a matter of time now."
"Hang in there Marcus!" Chloe called out to him as Marcus got to his feet. "I had a hard enough time beating hm off the first time, but I still came out on top!"
"Chloe, phrasing." Fran reminded her and Chloe blushed like a madwoman once she replayed the sentence in her head. "In fact, if it weren't for the fact that you started dating Lance since the Expulsion Duels, I'd be thinking that you had a crush on Erick."
"The mere thought of that has made me throw up in my mouth." Chloe responded with a shudder as she glanced over at Brandon. "I'm happy to stick to Lance thank you very much."
"Very tempted to send you a picture of a hamster trying to eat a banana after that." Fran responded with a chuckle and it took Chloe a second to process what she meant.
"Hey! Lance's thingie isn't that big!" Chloe blurted out only to immediately regret it as the other students laughed. "Thingie? What am I? Twelve?!"
"I'm just going to go mope in the shadows." Lance commented dryly as he walked backwards towards a wall. "Don't mind me."
"Might want to go make your boyfriend feel better Chloe." Fran suggested as she tried not to laugh. "Just try to keep your clothes on whilst your doing it, unless you want the guy behind the Orichalcos to watch you and Lance bang."
"Thanks, I just threw up in my mouth again." Chloe sighed before she went after her boyfriend.
"What the hell just happened?!" Erick wondered to himself before shaking his head. "Make your last pathetic move Marcus!"
"I will, only it won't be my last or pathetic!" Marcus responded before he drew his card. "And I'm about to blow your strategy wide open!"
"What? Did you draw A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon?" Erick scoffed as he folded his arms. "You know that won't work on the Orichalcos and without another way to summon a dragon your soul will be mine!"
"It's not Wingbeat but it is a card that you've been dreading," Marcus responded, and the grin disappeared from Erick's face. "Spellbook inside the Pot!"
"NO!" Erick yelled out as the Spell appeared on the field before, he reluctantly drew three cards as did Marcus. "You realize I can just set these on the field and destroy you!"
"You won't get a chance! Because now I have drawn A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon!" Marcus announced as he played the card and Erick's eyes widened as the dragon took flight with a beat of its wings destroying Infernity Void in the process. "And I'm not done! I activate Ancient Rules!"
"What? Are you going to bring back that dragon?" Erick asked before Marcus nodded as Red-Eyes Black Dragon returned to the field. "I'm not worried, that dragon is only strong enough to defeat one of my monsters, not both!"
"Oh yeah? Then let me give you a reason to be worried." Marcus responded as he played a card. "I activate Return of the Dragon Lords! This allows me to Special Summon one Dragon from my graveyard!"
"What? Your Black Stone of Legend? Your file said that you only have one Red-Eyes Black Dragon in your deck, so I don't see…." The grin on Erick's face disappeared as a familiar roar echoed throughout the room and his eyes widened. "When did THAT get in your graveyard?"
"What? Forget about Trade In already?" Marcus asked as he held up the card. "I had no other way of bringing this big guy out so come on out Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Marcus played the card and sure enough the dragon made famous by Seto Kaiba landed on the field with a roar (8/3000/2500). "And now for a little extra insurance, just in case you have another Infernity Void waiting in the wings, no pun intended! I activated Burst Stream of Destruction!" Marcus played the spell card and Erick's eyes widened as the Dragon opened its maw before destroying all three of his monsters. "So, what was that last card?"
"Hmmm? Oh, the facedown monster I set on turn one." Erick nodded before holding up the monster. "Infernity Necromancer, it was meant as a way to bide time in case I didn't draw Infernity Archfiend when I did." Erick explained as he sent the three cards to the graveyard. "But I also know that your dragon can't attack the same turn you use that Spell Card, your up shit creak without a paddle!"
"Am I? First, I activate Heaven's Lost Property!" Marcus announced as he played the card and Erick growled as they drew three cards. "Your hand's not looking so empty now huh?" Marcus asked as they discarded two cards.
"I have more than one copy of Into the Void in this deck! You really think I'd only run one?" Erick asked and Marcus's eyes narrowed. "Besides, you haven't been able to touch my life-points all game and you're on nine hundred! There's nothing you can do to turn this around!"
"Is there? I activate Dragon's Mirror! I banish Blue-Eyes, Dragonborn Necromancer, Red Stone of Legend and the two dragons I just discarded to summon Five Headed Dragon!" Marcus announced as the five monsters appeared on the field only to be sucked into the fusion portal, seconds later the massive five headed dragon appeared on the field with a roar (10/5000/5000). "And now to end this, I equip Red-Eyes with Megamorph!"
"Wait a minute…..." Erick pleaded as Red-Eyes Black Dragon doubled in size and strength whilst Red-Eyes Black Dragon's attack increased to 4800. "Let's not be too hasty…..."
"Five Headed Dragon, attack his life-points!" Marcus commanded and the dragon breathed different beams of light at Erick bringing his life-points down to 3000. "This is from Marie! Red-Eyes Black Dragon finish this bastard off! Inferno Fire Blast!" Marcus commanded and the dragon launched his attack at Erick sending him flying against the wall as his life-points hit zero. "Your lucky, you know that?" Marcus asked as he walked up to Erick whilst the seal closed in around him. "I could've equipped Megamorph to my dragon, but that attack might have killed you."
"Should've killed me, you dumb fuck!" Erick sneered as he glared at Marcus. "And the guy on the next floor has a beef with Chloe as well." Erick added as he glanced towards Andreas. "His twin brother if I'm not mistaken."
"Otto…." Andreas whispered as the seal claimed Erick's soul, as Erick let out a blood curdling scream Andreas bolted for the stairs to the next floor.
"Andreas, wait." Brandon called out to him, but it was too late. "Tyler, get Erick's body to the ground floor, I bet the other pro-duelists will be glad to see him."
"Adrienne's planning to draw on his face with her lipstick, tried to talk her out of it but she's committed to the idea." Amanda chuckled before letting out a sigh. "Otto's on the next floor, right?"
"Either Erick was lying or telling the truth." Brandon shrugged before he heard a brief struggle on the other end. "Amanda?"
"It's Adrienne, I'm taking over this call for the next duel." The French Woman's voice rang out as the students raced after Andreas. "I have a few things that I've been waiting to say to Otto."
