1 month later...
It had been passed a 3 months ever since the Tournament, and things in the Synchro Dimension have been getting peaceful. Alex was getting along great with her new baby brother along with the rest of her family after Rin was released from the hospital after her body have recovered from giving birth. We now find Alex was playing with Bruno.
"Peek a boo!" Alex smiled playing with him.
He giggled happily at that as Rin and Yugo watched happily.
"Ah your a little cutie aren't ya?" Alex smiled tickling him softly.
Bruno started laughing even more before reaching up to her. Alex picked him up with a smile. He giggled and put his head on her before babbling. "Aa aa."
Alex giggled, "Ah your such a cute little thing Bruno."
"Aa aa." Bruno babbled before looking up at her and giggling again.
Alex giggled with him.
"Alex is an amazing big sister isn't she?" Yugo asked quietly.
"Yes she is." Rin smiled.
Yugo smiled back. But unaware to them someone has a new plan for Alex.
A few hours later...
They arrived at the park to hang with all their friends from Synchro as Alex carried Bruno in her arms.
"Aa aa." Bruno repeated happily. "Aa aa."
Alex giggled before tapping his nose, "Tap."
Bruno giggled and touched his own nose before laughing excitedly.
"Your a great natural Alex." Leo smiled.
"Thanks Leo." Alex smiled.
"He really likes you a lot Alex." Luna pointed out.
Alex smiled before kissing Bruno's forehead, "And I really like him a lot back."
Bruno moved closer to her before yawning.
"Tired Bruno?" Alex smiled.
He answered by lying down against her and falling asleep. Alex chuckled as someone walked behind her which everyone but her noticed. Yugo immediately took her arm. "Alex get behind me."
"Huh?" Alex asked surprised.
"What are you doing here?" Jack questioned.
"Just to check up on her."
Alex gasped before turning to see was a smirking Sly except he is now wearing a black jacket.
"Well now you have so you can leave." Crow told him.
Sly ignored him as he noticed Bruno asking Alex, "Who's this?"
Alex answered, "He's... He's my new little brother Sly."
"Not stammering for once?" Sly smirked. "Sounds like you have been getting brave since the last time we met. Congratulations."
"Uh thanks?" Alex asked confused.
Bruno blinked hearing a new voice and saw Sly only to immediately start crying and trying to hide in Alex's arms.
Alex looked startled at this.
"Huh. Guess he knows that I'm not someone who is wanted." Sly said crossing his arms.
"Well he's right, now I'm only saying this one more time." Yugo told him. "Leave us alone."
"Ah ah. I have gotten stronger, and now have the strength to claim her." Sly smirked. "And this will be the last time I'll do this."
"Are you insane!" Leo shouted. "That's not happening Sly!"
"Have you forgotten that I bossed you around, and in fact it was me that we met her in the first place?" Sly asked him coldly.
"Yeah, the one good thing you've ever done in your life but you also tried to brainwash her to be your puppet. Now get out before I hurt you." Leo answered coldly.
Alex shook her head as she told Bruno, "I'll be back Bruno."
Before she handed him to Yugo, and placed a hand on Leo's shoulder shaking her head.
"Alex?" Leo asked in shock.
"Aa aa. Aa aa." Bruno cried reaching for her.
"This is my problem Leo. I am the reason why he kept on doing these things ever since we met when we were 5." Alex told him. "I have to handle my own problems, and I don't want you involved or getting hurt."
Leo turned to her in shock. "Alex. Alright, but promise you'll be careful."
"Aa aa." Bruno cried again before starting to cry.
Alex nodded before walking to her brother kissing her forehead, "It will be okay Bruno."
He tried to reach for her. She hold him giving him a hug for 10 seconds before handing him back to Yugo as she gets ready.
Sly smirked taking steps back to distance himself, "This power will be the mightiest you'll ever face, and you can go ahead and use these 'Master Duel' Rules I kept on hearing."
Yugo nodded at this as they get ready.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Stand my Ground by Within Temptation)
Alex: 4000
Sly: 4000
Let the duel begin!
"So who takes the first shot Alex?" Sly smirked.
"Huh, big sis?" asked a voice.
They turned to see who said that. It was Ace looking confused. "What's going on? Is Bruno ok?"
(A/N (Ulrich362): Ace has been practicing how to Synchro Summon with Alex and is close to his younger brother so had asked if he could come see him.)
"Who this little kid?" Sly asked.
"That's Ace... Another Little Brother of mine." Alex told him.
Sly chuckled, "Interesting. It sounded like you have gotten busy ever since the Friendship Cup."
"Take him down Alex." Leo said. "You're a lot better than he is."
Alex nodded.
"Like I said Alex who goes first?" Sly smirked.
"You go." Aex answered.
Sly smirked, "Oh? Wanting to crushed fast? Who I'm I to judge? Very well."
Sly 1st Turn:
He drew. Everyone watched him carefully. Sly looked as he smirked, "This will do nice. The spell card, Painful Choice! So now I have to send 5 cards from my Deck to the graveyard but 1 of them is added to my hand. And your the one to pick it."
Painful Choice
Normal Spell Card
Select 5 cards from your Deck and show them to your opponent. Your opponent selects 1 card among them. Add that card to your hand and discard the remaining cards to the Graveyard.
"Huh your using a spell to allow me to add a card to your hand?" Alex asked confused.
"That depends on the choice you make." Sly smirked taking his Deck out, and looking over the cards wondering which cards to pick.
"What's he doing?" Rin asked in confusion.
Sly smirked taking out five cards as the Signers felt a feeling of dread.
"No... it can't be." Luna whispered as she started trembling.
"That's not possible." Jack said. "It just isn't."
Sly smirked before saying, "Go ahead, and pick Alex."
He reveals the cards.
Earthbound Immortals Cusillu, Chacu Challhua, Ccarayhua, Ccapac Apu, and Aslla Piscu.
Alex just stared at the cards in horror unable to say anything. Ace looked confused wondering what's going on. Yusei glared at Sly. "Where did you get those?"
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out." Sly smirked. "Well Alex? We don't have all day."
Alex grunted as she struggled which one to pick. "A-Add Cusillu!"
Sly smirked sending the four Immortals to the grave before adding the Monkey one to his hand. "Nice pick. My hand is a bit dull so I activate Hand Destruction."
Hand Destruction
Quick-Play Spell Card
Each player sends 2 cards from their hand to the GY, then draws 2 cards.
"Listen you little brat, those cards are dangerous and you're way too weak to even think about using them so just stop now before somebody gets hurt." Jack told him.
Sly ignored him, "We discard two cards, and then we draw 2 new ones. Your first Alex."
Alex grunted as she said, "Crystron Smiger, and Crystron Thystvern."
"And as for me Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, and Earthbound Immortal Uru." Sly smirked sending the last two Immortals to the grave before they both drew.
"Something is very wrong here." Yusei mentioned.
"Aa aa! Aa aa!" Bruno cried while trying to get to her.
"And now I activate the field spell, Mausoleum of the Emperor!" Sly smirked as a tomb appeared.
Mausoleum of the Emperor
Field Spell Card
During any Main Phase: The turn player can pay 1000 LP x the number of monsters normally needed for the Tribute Summon of a monster (max. 2000); that player Normal Summons/Sets that monster without Tributing. (This is their one Normal Summon/Set for that turn. This is not a Tribute Summon.)
"With this in play we can Summon a monster by paying 1000 points per tribute. You know what that means don't ya?"
Leo moved protectively in front of Alex. "I'll keep that Immortal from hurting you."
"We'll keep everyone from being hurt." Yusei added.
Sly smirked as he glowed. (Sly: 2000)
That was before a Stone Heart appeared glowing as Alex looked at it scared.
That was before Yugo heard Clear Wing roaring in pain.
"Clear Wing?" Yugo asked in shock taking out the card.
"Ah you didn't know? This Immortal doesn't use people for it's power. It instead uses the power of the Spirits." Sly smirked as the heart started to beat sounding like a menacing heart beat.
"I sacrifice the souls of these spirits! Advent, Earthbound Immortal Cusillu!" Sly chanted placing the card.
At that the heart beated more before a glow enveloped it as what rose up was a giant monster the size of a skyscraper with yellow lines in the shape of a monkey appeared roaring as Alex looked on scared as it stared at her.
Earthbound Immortal Cusillu

"It can't attack yet, and I know you can beat it Alex." Leo said reassuringly.
Alex nodded looking at it scared.
Ace tripped on his feet sitting down looking up at the huge monster in both awe, and in shock.
"Sector Security, you are under arrest." stated a voice as dozens of officers arrived.
Sly looked around at the amount of officers. One of them walked up to him with handcuffs. Sly smirked before ordering, "Cusillu get this pest out of the way."
At the command the Earthbound Immortal moved to attack the Officer. Suddenly a dragon appeared blocking Cusillu.
"What?" Sly asked before looking.
It was Yusei glaring at him. "Those monsters aren't laying a hand on anyone. Majestic Star Dragon keep everyone of them safe!"
The holy version of Stardust conducted a barrier around everyone.
"Hmup. Ah well they still won't be in the way. I can't attack so I just throw down 3 face-downs. Your turn Alex." Sly smirked.
"Alex, you just need to destroy the field spell." Leo told her.
Alex 1st Turn:
Alex nodded as she drew.
"Oh, and one thing." Sly smirked. "I'm not sure if you know this but THIS-" He pointed to Cusillu. "-Is the Immortal that nearly took Leo, and Luna's lives."
That froze Alex completely as she just stared at it before her eyes turned dark and she glared at Sly with complete hatred.
"Your dead." Alex said hatefully. "I summon Crystron Rion!"
Rion appeared ready.

These Synchro Materials are shuffled into the Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Crystron Rion" once per turn.
"And now I activate Iron Call! This revives Smiger!" Alex called as the tiger appeared yowling.

"Level 3 Rion tunes level 3 Smiger!"
The two flew up forming the Synchro.
(LV: 3 + 3 = 6)
"Big sis, his facedown cards!" Ace warned.
"Dragon of the Coral Reef come forth from the abyss, and show your presence to spread peace! Synchro Summon! Level 6, Coral Dragon!" Alex cried as her Dragon Tuner appeared roaring.

Sly smirked seeing it, "You brought out your ace."
Coral Dragon sees the Earthbound Immortal, and roared at it who roared back.
Bruno started crying as Cusillu roared.
"I activate Coral Dragon's ability! By discarding a card a face-up card is destroyed!" Alex called. "I pick Mausoleum of the Emperor!"
"Big sis!" Ace cried fearfully.
Sly smirked, "I activate my face-down! Immortal Guard! With this by destroying Cusillu your dragon's effect doesn't harm my spell!"
Immortal Guard
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent activates an effect that targets (and no other cards): You can destroy 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster you control, and if you do negate that effect.
At that the Earthbound Immortal roared in agony before shattering.
"What the, why did he destroy his monster?" Ace asked.
"I don't know, but I've got a really bad feeling about this." Akiza admitted.
Alex grunted at this. Lester suddenly gasped. "That vision!"
"Coral Dragon attack!" Alex called as her dragon fired at Sly.
Sly smirked, "Face-down open! Shrink!"
Coral Dragon: (ATK: 2400 / 2 = 1200)
The blast struck Sly. (Sly: 0800)
Shrink
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; its original ATK becomes halved until the end of this turn.
"Aa aa." Bruno called before trying to reach her again.
Hearing him her eyes turned back to normal as she turned over. Alex walked over before hugging him before noticing, "Leo? Where's Cusillu?"
"Sly sacrificed him for some reason." Leo answered as Bruno clung to Alex as tightly as he could.
Alex grunted as she hold Bruno saying, "I set 2 cards. Your turn."
Alex: 4000
Sly: 0800
Sly 2nd Turn:
Sly smirked drawing. "I play my face-down card. Immortal Rezzurection! When my Life points are below 1000 I can summon an Earthbound Immortal from the grave by negating it's Special Abilities!"
Immortal Rezzurection
Normal Trap Card
When your Life Points are less then 1000: Target 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster in your graveyard: Special Summon it. It's effects are negated, and is destroyed during the End Phase.
"And they're all in his graveyard." Yusei frowned.
"And emerge again! Earthbound Immortal Cusillu!"
The monkey Immortal appeared roaring.
"But he won't be around long." Sly smirked.
"What do you mean?" Lester asked.
Sly held his drawn card answering, "By lowering Cusillu's level to 1, I can summon this monster! Arise Dark Tuner Love Sucker!"
Earthbound Immortal Cusillu: (LV: 10 - 9 = 1)
A fiend that is wearing a crimson cloak appeared wearing a sinister, and sadistic grin.

"A dark tuner!" Leo cried in horror.
"Unlike the Dark Signers who uses their Immortals for their true plans... Mines is on this." Sly smirked. "Level 9 Love Sucker dark tunes the level 1 Earthbound Immortal Cusillu!"
The monster turned to 9 stars as they flew around the Earthbound Immortal who looked around at that before they shot themselves inside the Immortal making it cry in pain as the stars inside it turned black as they collided with Cusillu's stars forming 8 black stars.
(LV: 9 - 1 = -8)
"What is he doing?" Jack questioned nervously.
"When the curtain of darkness comes down, the eyes of the underworld will open. Swoop down, darkness! Dark Synchro! Show yourself, One-Hundred Eyed Dragon!" Sly chanted.
At that what appeared was a fiendish dragon with over a hundred eyes with 3000 attack points roaring.

This card gains the effect(s) of all DARK monsters in your Graveyard. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, select 1 card from your Deck and add it to your hand.
"That's Kalin's card!" Crow cried in shock.
"And the most powerful Dark Synchro. This is the power that is the key to my victory!" Sly smirked as the dragon roared.
"H-How?" Alex asked scared.
Sly smirked, "One-Hundred Eyed Dragon's Special Ability allows him to use the abilities of all Dark Attribute Monsters in my graveyard. Care to guess what Attribute the Immortals are?"
"No way." Leo whispered in horror.
At that the shadows of the seven Earthbound Immortals appeared before flying into One-Hundred Eyed Dragon who roared at the power it has gained.
"There's no way, Alex can't beat all of them at once." Luna said fearfully.
"I call this combo 'The Earthbound Era'!" Sly smirked laughing. "And this is the power of how I'm able to have all seven of them all on the field at once!"
"What happened to you Sly, you were always a terrible person but you'd never go this far." Leo told him.
"You'll find out in due time. For now I got a girl to claim. When Love Sucker is sent to the graveyard for a Synchro Summon I can add an equip spell to my hand. Such as this Dragon Shield which I will equip to One-Hundred Eyed Dragon!" Sly smirked as the dragon was wrapped around a huge suit of armor encasing it.
Dragon Shield
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to a Dragon-Type monster. It cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects. Neither player takes any battle damage from attacks involving it.
"I'm not yours to claim Sly, I love Leo not you!" Alex shouted at him.
"You'll change your mind soon." Sly smirked darkly. "I activate the ability Wiraqocha Rasca gave One-Hundred Eyed Dragon! By skipping my battle phase you take damage until you have only 1 Life Point!"
At that the dragon's eyes glowed roaring before firing a blast at Alex. A crimson orb blocked the blast.
(Alex: 0001)
"And that is only the start." Sly smirked. "I activate the ability Chacu Challhua gave One-Hundred Eyed Dragon! With it half of One-Hundred Eyed Dragon's defense points goes to you as damage!"
The dragon's eyes glowed again as it roared charging a blast.
"Alex!" Leo cried in horror.
"Aa aa!" Bruno cried before sobbing.
Alex called, "Trap open! No Pain No Gain! With this we only take damage involving the battle phase!"
No Pain No Gain
Continuous Trap Card
As long as this card's face-up on the field: Both players only take damage involving the battle phase.
The blast was fired before it vanished.
"This is way too close." Yusei frowned.
Sly shrugged, "Oh well I can't claim ya this turn so I suppose I end my turn."
Alex 2nd Turn:
Alex drew as she winced. With only 1 Life Point, and Sly having a monster capable of having all seven Earthbound Immortals on the field at once is overwhelming. Leo frowned at that before running and punching Sly across the face as hard as he possibly could. Sly dodged the punch as he glared at Leo.
"Get away from us now!" Leo said hatefully.
"Not until I claim my prize." Sly smirked. "One-Hundred Eyed Dragon eliminate this pest!"
His dragon turned as he fired a blast at Leo.
"LEO!" Alex cried in horror.
That was before Life Stream appeared defending Leo. Leo's eyes turned hateful as he started choking Sly. "I'll kill you!"
Sly struggled as he easily broke out of Leo's grip as he smirked. Alex quickly called, "I activate Coral Dragon's ability! I discard 1 card to destroy One-Hundred Eyed Dragon!"
The dragon roared as it charged at the Dark Dragon only for Sly to reveal, "With Dragon Shield, One-Hundred Eyed Dragon can't be destroyed!"
The dragon collided against the Dark Dragon doing no effect. Leo grabbed Sly again before...
Crack!
Sly glared as he jumped back in pain.
"Leo..." Alex trailed off in shock.
Sly glowed as he said in a distorted voice, "I guess there's no reason to hide it any longer."
"What the?" Lester asked in confusion.
"Your friend apparently doesn't know but this little brat had died a long time ago." Sly smirked as the energy restored his neck.
"Sly..." Leo started in shock as Alex gasped and started tearing up.
"You may well be shell-shocked but death has helped me get to where it lead to Alex being claimed." Sly smirked with his voice restored.
He heard a voice, 'Return here immediately. Your true battle will begin soon.'
Sly told them, "Looks like you all are the lucky ones. We will finish this later."
With that he vanished along with One-Hundred Eyed Dragon leaving the duel with no conclusion.
Alex: 0001
Sly: 0800
Duel ended with No Result.
Alex collapsed to her knees and started crying. Leo slowly walked over, and hugged her as the duel vanished revealing the park, and several of there surroundings were in rubble from the battle. She just hugged him as she continued crying and shaking. "I never..."
"Cry as long as you need Alex." Leo said softly.
She just continued to sob.
"What is going on?" Ace asked shocked, and fearful by what just happened.
"I don't know, but we need to get everyone together." Yusei answered.
Bruno meanwhile was crying and screaming his lungs out.
Yugo, and Rin were trying to comfort him as best as they can. He just kept crying. "Aa aa. Aa aa."
Yugo walked to Alex, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Bruno wants to know your okay."
She didn't respond and just kept crying. Yugo grunted at this. "Leo?"
He turned to Yugo.
"Help Alex as best of you can." Yugo told him. "No doubt that fiend will be back for her so help her to use what methods against those things."
Leo nodded in understanding. Yugo kissed Alex's forehead.
"Da... daddy... is..." Alex started while continuing to sob. "Is... it... my... fault?"
"No don't think of it like that." Yugo answered. "He'll tell us the full story next time."
Alex just started sobbing again. Yugo hugged her. She hugged him and Leo while sobbing. Ace walked over, and hugged her too.
The next day...
Yugo had called everyone to meet up.
"What's wrong Yugo? It sounded like an emergency." Yuto asked as they arrived with Gale having a three month belly.
"Well..." Yugo answered before explaining everything that happened.
"What?" Yuya asked shocked.
"Sly's dead?" Dawn asked shocked remembering him from her duel with her aspects during the battle with Sardon.
Alex started crying again while holding Bruno close. Her aspects walked, and hugged her.
"Thank you." Alex whispered.
"Where is he now Fusion-Kun?" Yuri asked Yugo.
"We don't know, he disappeared." Yugo answered.
Casey looked down, "Then I can't help."
"Then what do we do?" Lulu asked.
"Best bet is to wait." Declan answered. "That fiend is coming for Alex so we better prepare her."
"No way, she's not fighting him Declan." Leo told him.
"Then what should we do?" Casey asked. "I can't fight him since Jack told me the negative energy they store could kill me, and it's obvious he only wants Alex."
"I don't know, but I'm not putting Alex through that again." Leo told him. "It's not safe."
"Yusei you, Jack, and Crow faced two Earthbound Immortals." Zarc told them. "So maybe you three can handle him?"
"Maybe." Yusei nodded.
Suddenly Terri gasped nervously.
"Terri?" Hart asked.
"Alex had a vision during the tournament of all seven Earthbound Immortals remember?" Terri asked. "If her's came true then my vision of Dark Mist might come true too."
"And... Maybe mine as well?" Lilly asked nervously.
Jaden frowned hearing that.
"Guys? I... Had one of my own last night." Kelly admitted.
"You too?" Yuki asked in shock.
"Yeah... Except this one looks like Marik but he is evil, and had the Winged Dragon of Ra under his command." Kelly answered.
"Marik's dark side." Yugi frowned.
"Yugi this must mean that someone is bringing those things back." Atem said in his mind.
'Yeah I know.' Yugi agreed before turning to Stacy and Dawn. "What about you two?"
"Not me." Stacy answered.
"Me neither." Dawn replied.
"That's still four things to deal with." Zarc frowned.
"Dawn... guys? Is it... my fault Sly's dead?" Alex sobbed.
"Of course not." Kelly reassured her.
"Aa aa." Bruno said before trying to wipe her eyes.
Alex noticed, and held him close enough to where he was able to wipe. He wiped her eyes and moved closer to try and comfort her. Alex hugged him, "Bruno..."
"Aa aa." Bruno smiled.
"What's he saying?" Mason asked.
"I don't know." Rin admitted.
Alex continued hugging Bruno.
"Aa aa." Bruno smiled hugging her.
"Oh Bruno... I wish I can understand what your saying." Alex told him.
He looked up at her. "Aa aa. Aa aa."
"Are you trying to say 'Big Sis'?" Alex asked.
Bruno blinked in confusion.
"Doesn't look like it." Luna mentioned.
"Well what is he trying to say?" Ai asked. "It has to be something."
"Your an AI shouldn't you know?" Yusaku asked him.
"Even I can't tell what he's saying." Ai answered.
Suddenly Luna gasped. "Wait, a second..."
"What?" Leo asked.
Luna gently took Bruno. "Bruno, where's mama?'
He immediately reached for Alex. "Aa aa."
Alex widen her eyes as she blushed.
"Aa aa." Bruno repeated reaching for her.
"Uh why does he think I'm mommy?" Alex asked taking him.
"Um... I don't know." Leo admitted
"Aa aa." Bruno smiled getting closer to her. "Aa aa."
"Maybe because you spend time with him a lot? More then his real mom?" Lance guessed.
Alex paused in thought and realized it was true, she was the one who fed Bruno his bottles and played with him a lot more than Rin and her parents always smiled while she did.
Ai sighed as he said, "Guess that solves the question... And a bit weird since your his big sis while he thinks your his mother... Uh does that even work?" A question mark appeared above his head as he asked this.
"It shouldn't." Ray answered.
"Well that aside we should be ready for when Sly comes back." Ryoken mentioned.
"Yeah... wait a second you can stop him." Leo realized.
"Leo?" Alex asked confused.
"If Ryoken or Yusaku Extra Links and blocks both Extra Monster Zones Sly won't be able to summon One-Hundred Eyed Dragon." Leo answered
"Even so he can summon an Immortal since they have no summoning restriction." Akiza told him.
"There's more even if we can he can use the top Link Arrows of our Link Monsters to summon it." Yusaku added.
"Unless we can make sure Bomber Dragon can destroy them by pointing at all his Monster Zones." Ryoken answered.
"... What if I made a new deck?" Ace asked.
"A new Deck?" Ai asked as they turned over.
Ace nodded. "One that can beat those scary monsters."
"Ace that was one of the prizes for the tournament." Mason said. "You don't have to do it."
"But I like making cards, and... it can help big sis Alex." Ace mentioned before blushing slightly.
Alex stared at him before hugging him. Ace smiled hugging her back. Alex smiled before turning to Signers, "Guys... Help me, and teach me the ways of how to defeat the Earthbound Immortals."
"They're all different." Jack mentioned. "Honestly... I don't know if we can."
"Please?" Alex asked with tears. "I want to help Sly. To free him."
"Alex, I said I don't know if we can. I didn't say we wouldn't try." Jack told her.
Alex nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen." Leo promised.
Alex nodded with a smile.
"Ok, so what now?" Bonnie asked.
"Get us ready." Yusaku answered.
"Makes sense." Mason nodded.
bopdog111: That sure was a tough battle.
Ulrich362: In more ways than one.
bopdog111: The Dark Synchro, Kalin had turned out to have more potential then we realize.
Ulrich362: Much more, the power of all seven Earthbound Immortals in one single monster is incredibly powerful. Maybe even too powerful to overcome.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter. Bruno is blonde by the way.
