bopdog111: Well Rin seems to be alright.
Ulrich362: Yeah, that's definitely a good thing.
bopdog111: Just as long as Bruno doesn't make that much of a fuss again things will go well.
Ulrich362: True, and I can really only think of one, or maybe two monsters, that might cause that kind of reaction.
bopdog111: Hopefully they don't some up sometime.

"Good match Zuzu." Celina smiled.
Zuzu smiled back, "Your still the same duelist I fought."
Celina smiled as they walked off and the faces reappeared. That was before they noticed Rin, Yugo, and Alex was with the group.
"Rin, are you feeling any better?" Zuzu asked her.
"Yeah. Bruno calmed down." Rin smiled. "That monster that Allison used really scared him."
"I'm so sorry." Alison apologized. "If there's anything I can do please let me know."
"Can you remove him from your deck?" Rin asked her.
"She can't." Anthony told them. "Her deck is in balance. She has monsters to counteract the Azure Nightmare but they can be just as dangerous."
"He's right, but I promise not to use it again." Alison told her.
Rin nodded at this as Alex laid her head on her stomach to sort of tell Bruno there's nothing to worry about. Rin gently hugged her at that.
"So who's next?" Yuya asked.
They looked to see.
The faces were soon shown to be Yuki vs Yugi.
"Well, this should be interesting." Yugi smiled.
"Brother vs Brother." Yuki grinned.
Yugi nodded before taking the three gods out of his deck. "Gale, hold onto these for me."
Gale looked at them before nodding as she told Yuki, "Yuki me, and you need to talk after this."
"Huh... um ok." Yuki nodded before the two of them walked up to the arena.
"And what we have here is the King of Games, Yugi Muto up against his brother Yuki Muto!" Nico Smiley announced,
Gale looked at them before nodding as she told Yuki, "Yuki me, and you need to talk after this."
"This is pretty one sided." Mokuba admitted.
"Mind explaining?" Ai asked him.
"Yugi's the King of Games, and Yuki's never once managed to beat him in a duel." Kelly explained.
"And even with the new rules Yuki will still have a tough time." Joey agreed. "And kind of ironic because Gishki was actually Nekroz in the past."
"Well Yuki, are you ready?" Yugi asked with a smile.
Yuki grinned nodding.
Suddenly a man in a suit walked to Declan, "Mr. Akaba sir?"
"Yes?" Declan asked turning to him.
"A message from an unknown origin came up a few minutes ago." The man answered.
"I see, what was the message?" Declan asked calmly.
The man showed him on a tablet.
'Mr. Declan Akaba, Mrs. Henrietta Akaba, Mr. Leo Akaba
I bring this message, and I hope it reaches you three. I just wanted to thank you three so much for taking care of my boy. I almost couldn't bear the thought of dropping him off at the LID Building years ago. I promise I will explain everything. Meet me in 1 hour at the LID lobby.
Signed, Mrs. Jonas.'
Declan's eyes widened in shock before nodding and going towards LID.
"Declan?" Dawn asked seeing her uncle walking away.
"There's something I need to attend to, I'll try to be back soon." Declan nodded.

"Normally I would, but I don't know which one you're planning this time Yuki." Yugi answered.

The dragon roared as Yuki stared on as it shattered.
"Well since I used monsters from the hand your monsters attack points are cut in half!" Yuki called.
Revendread Slayer: (ATK: 2400/2 = 1200)
"Maybe so, but your dragon is gone so I think it's a fair trade." Yugi replied.
"Maybe but now your monster is weakened! I switch Unicore to attack mode!" Yuki called as the sorcerer stood up.
"True enough." Yugi nodded.
"And now Unicore get Slayer!" Yuki called.
"I banish Revendread Origin to protect Slayer from being destroyed!" Yugi revealed as his monster was hit.
(Yugi: 2900)
'Man!' Yuki thought before saying. "I place 3 cards face-down, and end my turn."
Yugi 3rd Turn:
"My move, and I think I'll activate another copy of Revendread Origin and this time I'll use a second Vendread Houndhorde and Vendread Revenants to summon another Revendread Slayer." Yugi mentioned.
A second Ritual Monster appeared.
"Is Slayer the only Ritual Monster of that archetype?" Yuki asked.
"No it isn't, but I wanted a fresh copy before I used a second Ritual Spell, Revendread Evolution to send my token and Vendread Anima to the graveyard in order to Ritual Summon Revendread Executor in attack mode." Yugi revealed.

"That's a lot of horse power." Yuki remarked.
'Well done partner.' Atem smiled to Yugi.
'Thanks.' Yugi smiled back. "Ok, I'll use my first Revendread Slayer to banish your left set card Yuki."
Yuki grunted as it was shown to be Urgent Ritual Art.
"Next, my other Revendread Slayer was Ritual Summoned using Vendread Revenants which means I can banish one of your special summoned monsters." Yugi revealed.
Yuki widen his eyes seeing his Unicore vanishing.
"Looks like it's over Yuki, my stronger Revendread Slayer attacks you directly." Yugi stated.
The monster charged. "Not yet Yugi! I play the trap card, Spiritual Swords of Revealing Light!"

"So you're paying 1000 points to stop my attack?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah!" Yuki nodded glowing. (Yuki: 1300)
"Ok, then I'll have my weaker Revendread Slayer attack." Yugi stated.
The monster charged. "I use Spiritual Sword's effect again!" (Yuki: 0300)
"Then I guess that's it. Revendread Executor attacks directly." Yugi stated.
The monster charged.
"I play my face-down! Emergency Provisions!" Yuki called.

"Alright, I end my turn." Yugi smiled.
"And Yuki managed to barely avoid that!" Nico announced.
"That's true, but he's up against three powerful Ritual Monsters." Melissa added. "He's in a bad position."
Yuki: 0300
Yugi: 2900
Yuki 4th Turn:
Yuki drew as he grinned, "I play Nekroz Kaleidoscope' effect in the graveyard! By banishing it, and Nekroz of Gungnir I can add a second Nekroz Mirror to my hand!"
"Alright." Yugi replied calmly.
Yuki shows the card as he looked over before counting, and grinned, "And now I activate Nekroz Mirror."
"So who is it this time?" Yugi inquired.
"By banishing Exa, and Catastor I can summon from my hand Nekroz of Decisive Armor!" Yuki called as another dragon appeared.

"I use the effect Revendread Slayer got from Vendread Revenants to banish Nekroz of Decisive Armor." Yugi countered.
secs agoThe monster vanished as Yuki sighed. "Guess that's it."
Left with no cards in his hand, no cards on his field saved for Spiritual Swords, and nothing to defend him now.
"You did really well Yuki." Yugi smiled.
"Yeah I did. I really wished I could last longer then one match." Yuki told him. "You know Yuge I never said this but I'll admit I'm a little jealous of your status as King of Games. I want to get myself something like you. I'll have to keep working hard I guess."
'Yuki...' Yugi thought hearing that before just smiling and placing a hand over his duel disc. "I surrender, you win."
Yuki looked surprised seeing this. "Yuge?"
Yugi just smiled.
Yuki: 0300
Yugi: 2900 (Surrendered)
Yuki wins the duel!
"Uh... There you have it folks! The King of Games forfeited!" Nico announced shocked.
"That's just the kind of thing Yugi would do." Joey smiled.
"Yeah." Gale smiled in agreement as she muttered, "I wonder how well Yuki will take it."
As she said that Yugi and Yuki walked back to the group.
"Yugi you pulling that was unexpected." Yuki smiled.
"You aren't disappointed are you?" Yugi asked with his own smile.
"Nah. This would just mean I will still approve thanks to Gale, and Kelly." Yuki grinned.
Yugi nodded at that.
Meanwhile at LID...
Declan, along with Henrietta walked to the lobby as they see a brown haired woman wearing clothing that is really common, and has a few dirt spots was there.
"Mrs. Jonas?" Declan asked.
She turned as she cried, "Ah! Oh you two must be Mr. Declan, and Mrs. Henrietta! Sorry for my appearance... This is all I have."
"It's quite alright." Henrietta told her. "You wanted to speak with us?"
"Yes... It's about my baby boy. Thank you two so much for taking such great care of him." She smiled with tears in her eyes. "Oh I am Karen Jonas."
"Of course." Henrietta nodded.
"I have a lot to explain. I should start at the beginning." Karen told them. "It was when I was 17 that little James entered my life."
"So you aren't his mother either." Declan surmised.
"Huh? Oh sorry I didn't left his real name with him." Karen apologized. "I felt so stupid not giving you all his real name when I realized it."
"Is that all you wanted to say? He's been living as Casey but I feel he'd be happy to meet you." Henrietta told her.
"You want an explanation to why I left him here?" Karen asked them. "Well it's because I done it to keep him safe."
"Keep him safe?" Declan inquired. "From who?"
"...Crime Lords known as the Black Sun." Karen answered sadly. "Where I'm from we did nothing but struggle to survive under the Black Sun's reign. My boyfriend Harold, and I were left on our own when our parents were killed by them. We stayed with each other avoiding them, and doing our best. And along the way I had James at 17."
"What do you know about them?" Declan asked.
"Their merciless monsters, and care for nothing but their own amusement. They also steal what little money we had, and used us to their advantage. It wasn't until they see James' ability to heal they thought they reach a gold mine. Knowing they would use his power for evil I ran while Harold stay backed to hold them off... I... wanted to stay him but the Black Sun will find him as long as I'm with him." Karen answered as tears grew. "That was when I discovered the LID Building. Knowing he would be safe, and know how to defend himself with you people I dropped him off, and after giving him a kiss goodbye... I ran off promising we would meet someday..."
At that she started crying remembering the memories.
"Mrs. Jonas, where are these Black Sun located?" Declan inquired.
"Gone." She answered. "They broke apart recently mostly because the destruction from a huge dragon have exposed their location. It took years but soon all of them were arrested, and charged for their crimes."
"A huge dragon, you must be referring to the incident four years ago." Henrietta realized.
"Would you like to see you son? We weren't aware of his name so he's been going by Casey." Declan explained.
"Yes yes please!" Karen begged. "He's all I have left! Harold died protecting him from the Black Sun!"
Henrietta nodded. "Come with us, I'm sure he'll be happy to see his mother."
Karen nodded as she followed them.
Ulrich362: Well that's going to be quite the reunion. Plus Karen's going to meet Riley.
bopdog111: You all thought Casey was an orphan or was abandoned?
Ulrich362: Well turns out he wasn't.
bopdog111: Well hopefully Casey will understand why she left him.
Ulrich362: He probably will, especially if he feels her emotions.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
