"Just a little more and it'll be over, I wonder who's going to win." Zuzu mentioned thoughtfully.
"We're trying our best." Lilly smiled.
"Yeah, and you already beat me once." Alex admitted. "Actually, I'm a little scared."
"It's okay to be scared." Dawn smiled to her.
Alex nodded with a smile. "I'm having a lot of fun though."
Suddenly Ace tapped Dawn's shoulder. "Big sis, is aunt Riley ok?"
Dawn looked over to her aunt hearing that. Riley looked incredibly nervous and upset.
"I think she's just worried about Casey." Dawn answered.
Ace looked down before suddenly getting up and walking over to Spencer. Said boy was checking over his cards looking over mostly at Serkion, and Skolas.
"I... I challenge you." Ace told him.
Everyone who were there turned over to him surprised. Spencer directed his eyes over to him, and asked "Why?"
Ace looked nervous before taking a breath. "Something happened to uncle Casey when you were dueling and it made aunt Riley sad. I want to beat you and make her feel better."
"What are you talking about?" Spencer asked him.
"Your duel with Lester, Casey fainted during it." Declan told him as Ace nodded.
"I want to beat you to make aunt Riley feel better." Ace told him again.
(A/N (Ulrich362): Only the participants in the tournament are currently around so while Ace is still shy and nervous the fact that there are less people means he's not as scared to duel. Plus he really cares about his family which is also helping him in this case.)
"Well I'll not sure if that will help your uncle..." Spencer trailed off closing his eyes before standing up saying, "But I'm never one to refuse a challenge."
Ace nodded. 'It has to help uncle Casey.'
'I'll use the Deck that seems to fit him. The use of Cabal.' Spencer thought as they walked outside.
Ace walked after him. "Mommy says if I challenge you you get to go first."
"She sounds like a wise woman. You really do get her." Spencer praised.
Ace blushed hearing that.
With that they get ready.

Ace nodded. "Ok, then next I um... oh, I use Su's ability and sacrifice my Seal to destroy your left set card."
The seal vanished.
"Cabal Ambush." Spencer told him as the spell shattered. "When a Cabal is getting attacked I can summon a second Cabal in it's place to destroy the attacking monster."
"Ok, um... now I'll set a card and banish Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit, and Hieratic Seal of the Sun Dragon Overlord to summon Hieratic Dragon of Asar from my hand." Ace said as a long bodied golden dragon appeared.

Spencer watched as his monster shattered. (Spencer: 3200)
"I end my turn." Ace finished.
"Not bad. You gotten rid of most of my resources. I knew this deck was a fit for you. Like your deck this one focuses over destroying your own resources." Spencer told him.

Su vanished as Cabal Layout vanished.
"Had you haven't done that I would send it to the graveyard to destroy a card on your field, or your hand equal to the amount of Cabals on my field." Spencer told him.
Ace smiled. "Then I did something smart."
"Appear the circuit that Lights up the Path!" Spencer called as the circuit appeared.
"A Link Monster!" Ace cried in shock.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning conditions are two "Cabal" monsters. I set Psion, and Phalanx in the Link Markers!" Spencer called as they entered the Up-Left, and Up Markers. "Circuit Combined! Link Summon! Join us Link 2, Vatch, Psion Flayer of the Cabal!"

"Vatch's ability ability activates! It destroys a card it points too, and gets 400 points for each one!" Spencer called as Gladiator shattered. (ATK: 1900 + 400 = 2300)
Ace's eyes widened in shock.
"That's a powerful effect, but Asar is still stronger." Dawn noted.
"When Gladiator is destroyed by a Cabal Link Monster's effect I can draw a card." Spencer mentioned drawing.
Ace nodded nervously seeing that.

Vatch: (ATK: 2300 + 500 = 2800)
"You're stronger now." Ace frowned.
"For now. Vatch attack Asar!" Spencer called as his monster charged.
Ace could only watch as his monster shattered.
(Ace: 3800)
"Your move now." Spencer ended.
Ace 3rd Turn:
Ace drew his card without looking at it and just frowned. "I pass."
Ace: 3800
Spencer: 3200

Ace just let the attack hit him.
(Ace: 1000)
"Ace." Dawn said worried.
"He won, I lose again big sis." Ace frowned. "I'm just a stupid loser."
"No your not." Stacy told him. "You beat Leo in your birthday party."
Ace just shook his head.
"Do you want to stop?" Spencer offered.
Ace turned to him before looking at his card for the first time only to blink in surprise. "Huh? Oh um... no."
"Then I'll end my turn here." Spencer ended.
Ace 4th Turn:
Ace drew his card before closing his eyes. "I play Pot of Greed!"
The grinning pot appeared as he drew twice.

Ace looked at his cards nervously before his eyes widened. "Big sis, can I ask you something?"
"Huh? Yeah?" Dawn asked him.
"Can I bring Asar back with Monster Reborn?" Ace asked. "It says I need to banish monsters to summon him."
"Well if it doesn't say 'And cannot be Special Summoned by any other ways' then yeah you can." Dawn answered.
Ace looked at his graveyard before smiling. "Ok, I use Monster Reborn to bring back Hieratic Dragon of Asar!"

Hieratic Dragon of Gebeb: (ATK: 1800 + 800 = 2600)
"Asar attack Vatch."
Asar charged as Vatch was hit being destroyed while Spencer took damage. (Spencer: 2600)
"Gebeb attack him directly!" Ace called.
The dragon charged as Spencer looked on as he thought, 'He does have the skills to beat someone of Oryx' conquest.'
Ace: 1000
Spencer: 0000
Ace wins the duel!
Ace just stared at the field before his eyes widened. "Huh? Did I... I mean I just...?"
"Yeah you did Acy!" Dawn cheered.
Ace looked at his cards. "Maybe... maybe I can be like everybody after all."
As he said that Ace turned to Dawn and smiled confidently. Dawn hugged him. Spencer walked over telling Ace, "Well your a pretty skilled young one. But like I said I'm not sure if your victory over me can help your Uncle."
"Thanks." Ace smiled.
"Interesting isn't it Yuma?" Astral asked.
"Yeah it sure is Astral." Yuma grinned.
"That isn't what I meant, Ace challenged him for his uncle's sake but you can clearly see he is far more confident after that victory than he was earlier today." Astral explained.
"I know." Yuma told him.
Astral just nodded as they watched Ace hug Dawn and smile. Terri, and the other girls smiled before Terri gasped a little feeling something weird.
"Ter?" Hart asked.
She didn't reply standing frozen.
"Big sis?" Ace asked nervously turning to her.
Then Terri snapped out of it before turning to Astral shocked. "Astral... Do you go evil sometimes?"
"Go evil?" Astral asked in confusion.
"Yeah. I think I had a vision of a jet black version of yourself causing destruction." Terri answered.
Astral's eyes widened in horror.
"No way... that's impossible." Yuma said fearfully. "It can't be possible, Terri are you absolutely sure?"
"Yeah." Terri nodded.
"That vision, it was of Dark Mist." Astral told her as almost everyone from the Xyz Dimension started looking around nervously.
"Dark Mist?" Yuya asked. "You mean that Monster, Vector used against me, and Sardon?"
"Yes." Astral nodded before explaining just who and what Dark Mist was.
"No way." Zuzu said shocked.
"But why would Terri had a vision of him?" Yuto asked.
"I don't know." Astral answered. "Something is very wrong."
"Hopefully it's my mind playing on me." Terri told them.
"Hopefully..." Yuma agreed.
Spencer meanwhile took out a card seeing it was Primus Sha'aull, Leader of the Cabal as he walked back inside the hotel. "The tournament is in an hour."
"The last two matches." Zarc recalled. "Then the second round will be over."
Stacy smiled as she offered Zarc a hand. Zarc took it. "Good luck Stacy."
"Good luck to you Zarc." Stacy smiled.
Alex smiled at this as she took Rin's hand, "Mommy... Will Lilly be alright? Me, and her's last match wasn't fun."
"Your last match wasn't fun because whoever won would absorb the other one." Rin reminded her. "Now that your big sis Dawn is already here it'll just be a fun duel."
Alex nodded before saying, "I'm just worried. It seems the same like how Celina remembered her duel with Gale."
Rin just hugged her. Alex hugged her back.
One hour later...
They arrived back at the tournament.
"Well hopefully these last four duelists got a decent rest." Melissa announced.
"Yes because now their skills are put to the test." Nico announced.
"Exactly, so now lets pick things up with a match between Zarc Akaba and Stacy Sakaki." Melissa smiled.
Zarc, and Stacy stepped to the field.
"Who's going to win mommy?" Ace asked.
"I don't know honey." Ray answered.
Ace nodded. "I want to not be shy next time so I can compete with everybody."
Ray smiled nodding. Ace smiled happily turning back to watch the duel.

"That's only if I have Z-ARC on the field. Plus with him now removed from the field I can Pendulum Summon even when I control a monster." Zarc told her.
"Right, sorry flashback to... another duel." Stacy admitted. "Anyway, I Pendulum Summon two copies of Vector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord and two copies of Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer."

"Do what?" Zarc asked.
"Since Vector Pendulum came from my Extra Deck he goes to my Extra Monster Zone, but I can summon Master Pendulum to a Main Monster Zone from my hand at the same time right?" Stacy asked.
"Yeah." Zarc nodded.
Stacy smiled as her monsters appeared. "Then it's time for Dracoformer Stacy Sakaki's star performer."

"Ok time out, Lilly can Xyz Summon, Alex can Fusion Summon, does that mean Terri can Synchro Summon?" Leo asked in surprise.
Terri giggled at the thought.
"Is that a giggle because you can, or because you want to?" Leo asked. "I mean, with all your level four monsters Synchro Summoning level six, seven, or eight monsters would probably be really easy for you."
"Neither. It's because you thought of that." Terri smiled.
"Oh... but can you?" Leo asked her.
"Not yet." Terri answered. "But did you hear her? Yusei gave her that Fusion Monster."
Leo nodded. "Yeah, I did."
