"Yeah, Bunnyblast and Ramram only have a total of 1200 points." Lilly nodded.

"Now I use both monsters to build the Overlay Network!" Terri called as the two flew up.

"Loyal Dog Zoo animal come forth with your Chakram of justice, and give all your foes the desperation of their lives! With the force of your power may all opponents fear you! Xyz Summon! Rank 4, Zoodiac Chakanine!"

"Now Drident use your ability, and destroy Djiin Buster!" Terri called. (ORU: 3 - 2)

Their Levels become equal to the Levels of the Xyz Materials required to Xyz Summon that target. Immediately after this card resolves, Xyz Summon that target using those monsters only.


"Huh?" Terri asked seeing that.

"Since you destroyed one of my Numbers this turn Terri, I can pick a rank 4 or lower Dark fiend Xyz Monster and then I can use Dark monsters in my graveyard to Xyz Summon it during the end phase and they all are treated as being the right level." Vector explained. "So I'll Overlay Umbral Horror Unform, and my two Umbral Horror Ghosts in order to Xyz Summon Number 96 Dark Mist!"

As the Xyz happened Yuto was doing something.


Meanwhile...

Dark Mist started to suddenly glow.

"What, what's happening to you?" Yami Marik questioned.

"Huh?" Dark Mist looked at himself. "What's going on? This shouldn't be..."

He then vanished from sight.


Back at the Duel...

"Now!" Vector cried.

Yuto activated a card, "I activate, Sphere Field!"

When Dark Mist in his monster form appeared a card like field appeared around Dark Mist while Vector, and Terri were outside of it.

Vector: 2800

Terri: 3900

Duel Ended with No Result.

"It's been a while hasn't it Dark Mist?" Vector smirked.

Dark Mist changed to his Astral form as he yelled, "What is this!?"

He charged but the force from the Sphere Field pushed him back, "What have you done!?"

"We laid a trap for ya, and you fallen for it." Yuto smirked walking over. "Now you'll have to answer our questions."

"And if I were to refuse?" Dark Mist challenged.

"Trust me you don't want that." Yuri smirked.

"He's right." Yuki nodded.

"Now what were you doing to Ace?" Zarc asked Dark Mist.

Dark Mist shrugged. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Yuri?" Zarc asked.

Yuri smirked as he summoned Starving Venom in the Sphere Field who wrapped it's vines around Dark Mist squeezing him painfully.

"Ok, ok!" Dark Mist groaned. "Call off this beast!"

Yuri de-summoned Starving Venom as it vanished.

"Now what were you doing to Ace?" Zarc asked again.

Dark Mist took a minute before catching his breath. "The plan wasn't to kill him if that's what you're asking, we didn't know he was some hybrid between human and Duel Spirit."

"Hey how do you know that?" Ray asked shocked.

"I have my sources." Dark Mist revealed.

"What sources?" Yuya asked him.

"Sorry, that's something I simply can't tell you." Dark Mist told him. "Though I can tell you where the idea to control the boy came from."

"Where?" Dawn asked him.

Dark Mist turned to her. "It came from my ally, who shared his fate with some of your allies little girl."

"The Doktor!" Lilly called knowing who it is.

"Where is the Doktor?" Celina asked Dark Mist, "And don't try to lie your way out of it."

Dark Mist started to laugh. "The Doktor, alright little girl tell me, what happened to him that also happened to your allies? Do that, and I'll tell you not only where he is but who he's with."

"You know what I meant. He mind controlled people, and made a Parasite that kills people if we destroy it!" Lilly told him.

"I suppose that's technically true." Dark Mist noted. "Alright, I'll tell you. The Doktor is currently with Master Gus."

"And where are they at?" Celina asked.

Dark Mist didn't answer. Yuri got ready to summon Starving Venom as a warning.

"You misunderstand, I can't answer that. None of the six of us... well I suppose five now thanks to the little girl over there can answer that question. It's physically impossible." Dark Mist stated. "Only Master Gus himself can.'

"If you don't know where he is how do you, and the Doktor know how to get back to where he is?" Yugo asked him.

"I said telling you where it is isn't possible for us, I never said I couldn't go there myself." Dark Mist answered. "Of course, those two need someone else to get there as humans can't make it on their own."

"This is just puts us at more questions then answers." Lance said annoyed at the group, "When will they stop?"

"If you're done interrogating me, I'd like to get back." Dark Mist mentioned.

"What should we do?" Lulu whispered to Yuto.

Yuto frowned before deactivating the Sphere Field.

"Shouldn't we do something?" Terri asked.

"What can we do?" Kelly asked as Dark Mist vanished.

"Fight Dark Mist." Terri answered.

"Mo... mommy." Ace choked out.

Ray walked, and hugged her son. He was shaking in fear.

"It's okay Acey." Ray told him.

Yuya frowned. "You shouldn't lie to him Ray."

Zuzu smacked his head, "Yuya!"

"I'm serious Zuzu, I don't like it anymore than you do but with that other Dawn who could show up anytime, and this Master Gus who's working with Dark Mist, the Doktor and who knows who else... plus how those Parasites could attack us again... it isn't ok." Yuya admitted. "We're in danger and I can't think of any way to make sure we're all safe."

"You still shouldn't point out the obvious!" Zuzu scolded. "Your gonna make things worse for us to relax!"

Yuya looked down. "Yeah, you're probably right. Sorry."

Zuzu sighed, "Just don't do that again."

Yuya nodded.

Suddenly Ace frowned. "I hate them!"

They turned to him. He was crying but looked mad. "It isn't fair, why does everything bad happen to us? I hate it, I hate it."

Ray hugged him. He hugged her back before breaking down and crying again.

"Don't worry Ace. It will be over soon." Ray smiled.

Ace nodded wiping his eyes before frowning. "Mommy, I want to beat the mean big sis and mister Gus. They made you sad."

"Your not alone Ace. We will beat them together." Dawn smiled.

"I know big sis... but, I don't want my family and friends being hurt anymore." Ace told her before looking up. "I have to do it this time, ok?"

"You mean... By yourself?" Dawn asked in awe by his bravery.

Ace looked nervous but nodded. "Yeah big sis."

Dawn smiled, "That's amazing Acey."

Ace smiled hearing that. "I promise I won't mess up."

"We will help ya." Kelly smiled. "You still have yet to learn Pendulum, and Ritual."

Ace nodded before closing his eyes. "Daddy, can I duel you now? I want to see if I'm any better."

Zarc looked surprised hearing that.

"Big sis Alex, Terri, and Lilly helped me... and you're the strongest person I can think of." Ace explained.

Zarc smiled as he said, "Why not Ace?"

"Thank you daddy." Ace smiled before hugging him.

Zarc hugged him back. A few seconds later Ace walked back before closing his eyes and activating his Duel Disc.

"DUEL!"

Many years of dragon slaying have bathed this huntress in countless amounts of blood. Each drop gave her more power, but at a terrible price, as her cursed body now spreads the dragontaint like an epidemic. No village will take her in, and she no longer even remembers what inspired her crusade in the first place.


Hieratic Dragon of Nuit: (Level: 4 - 1 = 3)

Dragon Core Hexer: (ATK: 2300 - 2300 = 0/DEF: 3000 - 3000 = 0)

Alex smiled at this.

"Now Dragon Core Hexer tune with Hieratic Dragon of Nuit!" Ace called as Dragon Core Hexer became eight green rings and Nuit turned into three stars. "I Synchro Summon Star Eater!"

(LV: 8 + 3 = 11)


Star Eater

Light Type

Level 11

Dragon/Synchro

ATK: 3200

DEF: 2800

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Must be Synchro Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's Synchro Summon cannot be negated. When Synchro Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. If this card attacks, it is unaffected by other card effects until the end of the Damage Step.


His Synchro Dragon roared upon being summoned.

"Now, I play Stamping Destruction to destroy Gate Infinity. I can do that right?" Ace asked playing the spell.


Stamping Destruction

Normal Spell Card

If you control a Dragon-Type monster: Target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to its controller.


Zarc nodded as Infinity shattered. (Zarc: 2400)

"Star Eater attack Purified Soul Link Dragon!" Ace called.

Star Eater charged his energy before firing it at Purified Soul who shattered. (Zarc: 1900)

"Now Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit attack daddy directly!" Ace declared.

The dragon charged as Zarc smiled taking the hit.


Ace: 3200

Zarc: 0000

Ace wins the duel!


Ace paused before blinking in shock. "Huh?"

Then everyone started to clap.

"Daddy?" Ace asked uncertainly. "Did I just do that?"

"Yep. You won." Zarc smiled.

A huge grin appeared on Ace's face. "And I still have two more to learn."

Ray lifted Ace up from behind.

"Ack." Ace cried in surprise.

"Haha." Ray chuckled. "That's my boy."

Ace blushed before looking down. "Daddy... do you think I can beat the mean people who upset everybody?"

"Of course. You just need more practice." Zarc smiled.

"Yeah, and we'll help you little bro." Kelly smiled.

"With whatever we can." Stacy smiled.

Ace smiled at that.


Ulrich362: Ace sure has come a long way from when he first got his deck.

bopdog111: He has quite a destiny ahead of him.

Ulrich362: Definitely, there's a lot waiting for him. Both bad in the form of the other Dawn, or Master Gus and his allies. But also good, like Gale and Yuki's baby, Purple Poison and Blue Frost's baby, and other good things to look forward to.

bopdog111: Well next time is 2 months later where Ace have learned Pendulum, and Ritual, and Dark Mist comes to enact his revenge.

Ulrich362: Will they be able to stop him, only one way to find out. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
