bopdog111: That sure was quite a duel for the Farrow Siblings.
Ulrich362: Definitely, and a depressing one for Mir.
bopdog111: Unfortunately her past still haunts her.
Ulrich362: Exactly, but at least she has Jarrod and the others to help her. That aside though, it's now time for Mr. Akira Zaizen to show how skilled a duelist he really is. Though admittedly having only seen clips on YouTube and very few at that I see him as the weaker of the two Zaizen siblings.
bopdog111: I seen his whole duel with Yusaku, and sees while he uses low cards he sure has skill, and quite a formidable beast.
Ulrich362: Well we'll have to wait and see what happens. Enjoy the chapter.

"Wait huh?" Lilly asked in surprise. "How did you summon twice?"

"Oh, ok." Lilly nodded.
"I end my turn with 2 face-downs." Akira ended.

"Ok, I'll set three cards and set a monster in defense mode to end my turn." Lilly smiled.
Lilly: 4000
Akira: 4000

"When this card is flipped summoned you can summon 1 Tindagle Base Gardna from your deck." Akira's Duel Disk answered.

"I have a bad feeling all of a sudden." Lilly frowned.
"Now I activate my face-down card, Lemoine Point!" Akira called.

"Tindangle Base Gardna's ability activates!" Akira called.
"Huh?" Lilly asked in confusion.
"When your opponent summons a monster where an opponent's Link Monsters is pointing at you can tribute this card to Special Summon 1 Tindangle Monster in your hand." Akira's Duel Disk answered as Base Gardna vanished.
"Oh, ok then." Lilly replied. 'I was afraid it would destroy my monsters.'
"Appear Tindangle Hound!" Akira declared.

"Whoa what the!?" Yuya cried stunned seeing it.
Alex started to shake seeing it. Leo hugged her close. "It's ok, I'll protect you."
"Wow, that's a really strong monster." Lilly smiled before grinning. "But it won't help, Masked HERO Anki attack his life points directly!"
"Hold that thought!" Akira cried. "Tindangle Hound's ability activates! Hell howling!"
Tindangle Hound howled a wave to them.
"For each monster your opponent's Link Monsters point too they lose 1000 attack points." Akira's Duel Disk explained.
Lilly's eyes widened in shock.
Xtra HERO Wonder Driver: (ATK: 1900 - 1000 = 900)
Masked HERO Anki: (ATK: 2800 - 1000 = 1800)
"When Anki attacks directly the damage is only half." Lilly frowned. "So it's only 900 points."
The monster struck Akira. (Akira: 3100)
"Lockdown." Yuya realized. "This guy plays by Anti-Link, and Lockdown methods."
"People already have cards like that?" Ace asked in shock.
"I end my turn." Lilly frowned.
Lilly: 4000
Akira: 3100

"Tindangle Intruder's Flip Effect activates! It allows me to add a Tindangle card from my deck to my hand!" Akira called showing Tindangle Angel.
"Ok." Lilly nodded.
"Now I set a card, and now Tindangle Hound attack Masked HERO Anki!" Akira called as his hound charged at the weakened HERO.
"Trap card open, Breakthrough Skill! This negates your Hounds ability!" Lilly cried quickly. 'I can't lose Anki.'

During your turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 face-up Effect Monster your opponent controls; that target has its effects negated until the end of this turn.
Akira's eyes widen hearing that.

Xtra HERO Wonder Driver: (ATK: 900 + 1000 = 1900)
The hero strike back destroying the hound. (Akira: 2800)
Lilly smiled. "Now my monsters keep their points."
"Tindangle Hound's ability activates!" Akira called.
"When this card is destroyed by battle or effect, and sent to the graveyard you can flip one face-down defense position monster on the field to face-up." Akira's Duel Disk explained.

"It's ok little sis, we won't let anything happen to you." Terri smiled reassuringly.
"Tindangle Angel's Flip Effect activates!" Akira called.
"One Flip Effect Monster is Special Summoned from either your graveyard or hand." Akira's Duel Disk explained.
"From the graveyard?" Lilly asked fearfully.
"Appear back Tindangle Hound!" Akira cried setting the monster. "The summoned monster must be summoned in face-down defense mode. But now Tindangle Intruder attack Xtra HERO Wonder Driver!"
Lilly's Link Monster shattered.
(Lilly: 3700)
"That's all for now." Akira ended.
"Unless Lilly can destroy Lemonie Point for her to destroy Tindangle Hound, and clear his field she can't win this." Stacy said worried.
"Actually you're wrong." Celina smiled. "He just cost himself the game."
"Yeah Tindangle Trinity doesn't have attack points, and is in attack mode." Terri said seeing this.
"That isn't her target, Tindangle Intruder is." Yuri smiled.
"Huh?" They asked confused.
Lilly 3rd Turn:
"I activate my spell card Form Change." Lilly smiled.

"For every monster on your field Koga gains 500 attack points." Lilly smiled.
Koga: (ATK: 2500 + (500 * 4) = 4500)
"4500 attack points!" Ai cried in shock seeing this.
"So this is her ace." Yusaku muttered to himself.
"That's right, but she isn't done quite yet." Yuri smirked.
"Now I use Elemental HERO Honest Neos' special ability to discard him and give Koga 2500 more points." Lilly continued.
Koga: (ATK: 4500 + 2500 = 7000)
"Akira still has a set card." Stacy mentioned. "It could be anything."
"Next, I use Koga's ability to banish Honest Neos and lower Tindangle Intruder's attack points by 2500." Lilly continued.
Intruder weakened. (ATK: 2200 - 2500 = 0)

Morley's Shield shattered upon impact.
"If Morley's Shield haven't be countered I would take no damage involving a Tindangle Monster in the Monster Zone." Akira grunted.
(Lilly: 2700)
"Then it's all over." Lilly noted.
Koga sliced Tindangle Intruder causing it to shatter as Akira took the damage with a smile.
Lilly: 2700
Akira: 0000
Lilly wins the duel!
"Wow, big sis is really strong." Ace admitted.
"Yeah she is." Stacy smiled.
Ace looked down. "I wanted to win, but I don't think I can anymore."
"It's okay Ace. Win, lose what's the difference?" Stacy smiled. "The important thing is having fun."
Ace nodded thoughtfully as the faces appeared again.
"Okay let's see who's next." Nico mentioned.
The faces slowly started fading one by one before revealing Declan and a brown-haired girl.
"And it looks like Declan Akaka is going up against miss Skye Zaizen in a Master Duel!" Nico announced.
"Zaizen?" Yuya asked surprised. "Akira has a sister?"
"Yeah, he does." Riley nodded as they stepped up.
"Do you mind if I go first?" Skye requested.
Declan nodded, "After seeing what my Security Manager can do against one of my relatives I am interested to see what you can do."
Skye nodded calmly.
"LET'S DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Killing Our Memories by Fable)

Declan drew.
"When you add a card to your hand Lycoris deals 200 points of damage for each card and whenever a Trickstar monster deals damage you take 200 more points of damage." Skye explained as her monster and field spell shot beams of light at Declan.
(Declan: 3600)

Declan: 0000
Skye: 4000
Skye wins the duel!
"Um... Nico?" Melissa asked in shock.
"Uh... Miss Skye Zaizen won her duel during her opponent's turn!" Nico cried snapping out of it.
"During his turn, Declan didn't have a turn." Melissa announced in shock.
"He did drew a card however." Samuel clarified walking beside Rocky.
"Yeah, you're right." Rocky nodded. "Oh, and good luck."
Samuel nodded at him, "Right."
"Well then, who's next?" Alex asked as the faces appeared before fading again.
They looked to see who's next was Ryoken vs Ace. Ace's eyes widened in shock seeing that. "My turn already?"
Ryoken smiled as he said, "Well Ace wish ya luck."
"Thanks." Ace nodded nervously as they walked up to the stage.
"And now it is Mr. Ryoken Kogami vs the creator of Link Summoning Ace Akaba!" Nico Smiley announced.
That surprised everyone as everyone looked at Ryoken thinking he's Ace. Ryoken just smiled shaking his head.
"Alright duelists you may begin!" Nico announced.
"DUEL!"
Ace: 4000
Ryoken: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Ace looked at his hand nervously. 'What do I do, what do I do?'
"Who takes the first turn?" Ryoken smiled.
"Huh? Oh um... I don't know." Ace admitted nervously.
"Why not I go first?" Ryoken offered.
"Um... ok." Ace nodded. 'I don't know what to do.'

(Ryoken: 3000)
A card appeared.
"Hey is Ace ok?" Kelly asked. "He looks really worried."
"I think it's from seeing all of these duelists dueling hardcore." Dawn answered.
"Maybe it's too early for him to be completing like this." Terri mentioned. "He's only ever had one match and even if he created Link Summoning he still needs time to practice."
"Agreed. Should we do something?" Stacy asked.
"Tell them he's withdrawing?" Alex suggested.
"Not sure Ace will like that." Terri told her. "Let's ask him during a timeout."
"Look at him, he's trembling." Stacy pointed out as they noticed Ace was trying to hide it but he was clearly very nervous and shaking.
"Yeah we should do something." Alex told them.
They all nodded in agreement. They walked in as Lilly called, "Wait a moment!"
"Huh?" Nico asked turning to her.
"Sorry but we need to have a timeout for a minute." Lilly told him.
"A timeout?" Melissa asked.
"Alright, five minutes." Nico nodded. "I think after eight matches it might do people some good to stretch their legs anyway."
Everyone nodded in agreement hearing that. With that people started getting up and moving around to talk about duels they'd seen already. Meanwhile the five girls walked to Ace. Ace was trembling and tears were starting to form in his eyes.
"Oh Acey." Dawn frowned seeing this hugging him.
He hugged her tight and started crying. "I can't do it big sis."
"It's okay. Me, and your sisters thought it's too early for you to be competing at things like this." Dawn told her.
"I'm sorry big sis, I just don't want to let you down." Ace apologized while continuing to tear up. "It's just... I'm scared."
"Your not letting me down Ace. It's okay to be scared." Dawn smiled. "Keeping them bottled up isn't a good thing."
Ace nodded hugging her as Stacy walked up to Nico and Melissa.
"Ace needs to forfeit." she told them.
"Forfeit?" Nico asked surprised.
"He's feeling overwhelmed and isn't ready for a tournament yet." Stacy explained.
Understanding the two nodded.
After the break...
Everyone walked back as Nico announced, "Okay everyone pay attention! Mr. Akaba's sisters told me he needs to forfeit so therefore Mr. Ryoken Kogami wins by default!"
Ryoken nodded as he told Ace, "Don't worry Ace. I had that same feeling before."
Ace: 4000 (Forfeited)
Ryoken: 4000
Ryoken wins the duel!
Ace nodded before immediately running to Ray and Zarc. His parents hugged him. He hugged them tight. "Mommy, daddy."
"It's okay Ace. It's okay." Ray smiled hugging her son.
"Mommy... can we have a smaller one with everybody?" Ace asked. "But... less people?"
"We'll try honey." Ray smiled.
Ace smiled hearing that before hugging her again as they turned back to the arena.
"Okay everyone let us see what round 10 is gonna be!" Nico announced.
The faces appeared before starting to fade stopping on an unknown girl and Zarc.
"Huh who's that?" Zarc asked seeing her.
"That would be me, my name's Alison." the girl smiled. "My deck is... different."
Zarc nodded as Nico walked to the field where he announced, "The next battle will in the afternoon. For now our remaining duelists will better get some lunch. They deserve it, and will have time to work before there matches!"
"Makes sense to me." Melissa agreed. "See you guys after that."
A few minutes later...
The duelists remaining, and the family members with friends were in a building where they relaxing with lunch.
"Stop it Gore." Skye told him. "It wasn't that impressive."
"Ah what can I say?" Gore grinned. "I sure gave the audience a good show with that move didn't I?"
"Yeah, you did." Skye admitted.
"Not as impressive at your duel. Not even letting your brother's boss have a chance to fight." Gore grinned.
"Seriously stop it." Skye told him again. "How many times to I have to ask?"
"You two sure are enjoying yourself." Ryoken grinned at them.
"One of us anyway, but aren't you upset about your victory?" Skye asked him.
"I understand why he forfeited." Ryoken answered. "I know how it feels to be scared, and overwhelmed like that."
"You have a good point." Gore nodded glancing over at Ace and his family. "This is an interesting tournament at least."
"Well believe it or not I was the one who suggested it." Ryoken grinned.
"Well it's definitely a great idea." Skye smiled.
"It was to get little Ace's idea of Link Summoning around much faster after reading about you two." Ryoken explained.
"It's hard to believe something like Link Summoning came from that little kid." Gore admitted. "He should be really proud he made something like this."
"He wanted to make something special from his family. But then he got embarrassed about other people using it saying it wasn't special anymore." Ryoken added.
"That poor little boy." Skye mentioned before walking over to them.
Ray sees her, and asked "Yes?"
"I just wanted to talk to Ace, and thank him for making something so special as Link Summoning." Skye smiled.
Ace blushed as he said, "Y-Your welcome Ms. Zaizen."
She smiled. "It's ok to be scared, you're going to cheer on your family and friends right?"
"Y-Yes." Ace nodded.
Skye smiled and nodded. "Well, I hope you have fun watching."
With that she walked off.
"Well done out there." Akira told his sister.
"I just got lucky." Skye admitted.
Akira nodded hearing that. Yusaku was having lunch along with the blue hair man.
"Huh so Ryoken, and Mason managed to convince you." The blue hair man realized.
"Yeah Kolter. This Yusei sure was tough!" Ai agreed.
"Guess this means our goal has been fullfilled." Kolter concluded.
Yusaku just continued eating.
Kolter looked on as he sighed before asking Ai, "So now that we done our business guess that means you can go free."
"That's a nice offer but I think I'll stay with you guys." Ai told him. "I still have to repay you from saving me that day."
"Alright if that's what you want." Kolter smiled before frowning, "And I hope Jin will recover."
With the group they were enjoying their lunch.
"It sure was a shame you lost Yuya." Yusho told him.
"I'm not that upset, it was a good match." Yuya smiled.
"New Dueltainers sure are full of new surprises." Yoko chuckled.
"Yeah, they really are." Terri agreed with a smile.
"I wonder if we'll see anything else exciting." Kelly giggled.
"Ah that'll be until my match." Yuki grinned at this.
"Don't start with that big mouth of your's." Gale told him making him look a bit sheepish.
"Wh-Whatever you say Gale." Yuki stuttered.
"She has a point, though honestly that Spencer person is bothering me." Yuri admitted. "I'm getting a bad feeling about him."
"Spencer?" Leo Akaba asked remembering the young man Mir dueled.
"Yeah, I don't really know what you'd call it but I got a bad feeling... a familiar bad feeling." Yuri admitted.
"Familiar bad feeling?" Riley asked.
"Now that he mentions it I do feel a familiar darkness from him." Casey mentioned.
"Great, so it isn't just a bad feeling. He really does have some connection to Sardon." Yuri frowned.
Celina told him, "Yuri we don't know for certain he's connected to that guy. Those cards he used are nothing like Sardon's Hive cards."
"I guess, maybe I'm just paranoid after all." Yuri frowned. "Well on a less depressing note the five of us will have to fix Yuya's screw-up and actually win."
"Yuri we don't have to win." Yuto told him.
"I more meant one round Yuto, honestly I don't care if I lose but if all six of us lose in the first round? I'd like to avoid that at least." Yuri smirked.
They all nodded.
"Yeah no way I'm losing early." Yugo grinned.
They all started laughing at that. Alex smiled as she hugged Rin. "I'm sorry your not able to join mommy."
"It's ok baby girl." Rin smiled. "I'm rooting for you."
That was before she felt a kick. Rin gasped before smiling. "He kicked again."
Alex placed a hand to feel. She felt a small kick. Alex put on a opened smile feeling it.
"Our second baby brother." Lilly smiled. "What's his name?"
"I had been thinking... Bruno." Rin smiled.
"I like that." Alex smiled.
They all smiled at that.
A few hours later...
"Welcome back everyone!" Nico announced.
"We hope you all enjoyed the break." Melissa stated.
"Because now will be the duel between Zarc, and Allison!" Nico announced.
Ulrich362: Well the tournament is going well, apart from a bad feeling Yuri and Casey had but then again what are the odds someone linked to Sardon is competing?
bopdog111: 4 to 100 I'm guessing.
Ulrich362: Sounds fair.
bopdog111: Well guys round 11 is next.
Ulrich362: Yup.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
