"King Azuryu! King Shiryu! Queen Aoiryu!"

"Umph...what's all the noise?"

"It's just Shinkiryu...what's that runt want now?"

"I dunno, but she doesn't need the noise...I'll be right back,"

Outside of the large cave that was carved into the top of a very tall mountain, a large dragon phased into view from his camouflage. The Mirage Dragons were always talented at concealing themselves for defense or to infiltrate enemy territory for either information or food.

Shinkiryu had information today for his leaders. As he waited outside the cave, a loud lumbering and growling noise emanated from within and a few moments later, a larger dragon appeared in front of him. At the sight of the large dragon with piercing blue eyes and blinding white scales, the Mirage Dragon bowed his head.

"What brings you here, Shinkiryu? You have disturbed our sister's rest,"

The Mirage Dragon lifted his head and looked right at the Blue Eyes White Dragon in front of him, eyes lingering on the diamonds around the beast's head, "Forgive me, King Azuryu, I didn't mean to, but I have some interesting news for you!"

"Well, what is it?"

"Humans, my King, humans in the forest!"

Azuryu leaned forward, irritated, "We've had humans in the forest before, Shinkiru...you disturbed us for common news?"

"But my King! They are strong humans! They defeated both the Horus Sect and Drogoth!"

The ivory dragon became quiet and stared at the Mirage Dragon for the longest time.

"Is that so...?"

Shinkiryu nodded rapidly, "Yes, my King! Both of them defeated by a boy, a mere child!"

That made the dragon more interested in what the Mirage Dragon had to say.

"Go on...,"

-----

Earlier that day, it had been a nice and warm trip through Dracon Forest, but now, shortly after finding and saving the man named Noah from the herd of rabid Kuriboh, the group of duelists were running a thunderstorm. Lightning streaked across the sky as bullets of rain poured on the group with no end in sight.

"Jaden!" Bastion yelled over the thunder booms, "We have to find shelter!"

"Yeah!" Christina yelled in his ear, "May be VR, but I'd rather not get shocked!"

Jaden came to a stop and looked around as best he could with the rain obscuring his vision. Peering through the veil of pouring droplets, he caught sight of a cave a short distance away.

"There!" he pointed ahead and looked back at the others. They all looked ahead and when they saw what he was pointing at, they broke into a run for the shelter, leaving him behind.

"Hey, wait for me!"

As soon as they entered the cave, the duelists shook the water out of their hair and began to wring out their clothes. Alexis sighed as she wrung out her hair, "May be virtual reality, but it's still wet and cold," she murmured.

"Yeah...just like your rack, right now it's VR, but it's still kinda big for a girl your age,"

WHACK!

Alexis lowered her fist as Siho met with the rock wall of the cave, then continued to wring out her hair, "Pervert,"

"Man, seems like both good and bad luck are with me today," Noah commented with a smile, "I get mobbed by Kuriboh, you guys come to my aid and then it starts raining cats and dogs,"

Bastion sat down on the floor, crossing his legs, "I don't believe in luck, Noah, but everything has to balance out. It's a scientific fact,"

Noah chuckled, "I guess you're right...but luck or no, I'm glad we found this place," he looked around the large, dark cave, "We can stay here until the rain dies down, but we oughta make a fire, otherwise we'll all get sick,"

Jordan leaned towards his cousin, "We can't get sick, it's a game!"

"Just go along with it," she whispered back.

-Out in the real world...-

"Well, they may be stuck in a cave, but at least they're outta the forest," Kairi reasoned before taking a sip of her third soda, "Just a little bit longer until they duel Lord Revastan,"

Kristerr nodded, "I was wondering if they'd ever get out of there. I just hope they don't take this long for the others,"

"Yeah, because I'd never get my chance after them,"

-Back in the VR world...-

"Geez, is this rain ever gonna let up?!" Chazz muttered under his breath, bored out of his mind, "I'd like to get the hell outta here and finally get to the Manor to kick that guy's butt!"

Khamille and Alexis exchanged annoyed glances as Chazz rose to his feet and walked to the back of the cave.

"Chazz, don't wander off too far," Bastion warned.

Chazz scoffed, "Please, we're in a cave, what could possibly happen?"

"Well, a powerful stream of incredibly hot flames could shoot outward and incinerate us all,"

Everyone turned and looked at Chrissy.

"What?" she asked, looking at them all, "It happened in The Incredibles!"

Everyone else facefaulted.

"Well, if Moron Movie Time is over...," Chazz turned back around and started back towards the cave again, mumbling to himself.

As he left the group, Chazz went as far as he could with the poor light source they had in the cave as his guide. He looked around for about half a minute before giving up and leaning against the back end of the cave wall, irritated at the situation.

"Have to wait in a stupid cave with Jaden and the others," he muttered, drumming his fingers along the wall for a few moments before slamming his hand into it, "When the hell are we gonna get outta here?!"

Chazz cursed to himself and started to walk back to the group when a low rumbling sound from behind made him slow to a stop. Chazz slowly turned his head and when he saw what was making the noise, he felt the color drain from his face, his jaw dropping.

In front of him was a beast covered in green scales, a pair of large, leathery wings folded along it's back while a pair of long horns protruded out of it's head.

"Oh crap...," Chazz turned on his heel and ran back to the front of the cave, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Hearing Chazz's screams, everyone shot to their feet as sped towards them. They were going to ask what was wrong when they caught sight of the Thunder Dragon coming up behind him, sparks of electricity rippling over it's body.

"Chazz, what the hell did you do?!" Christina shouted, "Tell me you didn't piss that thing off!"

"I-I-I-I-I...,"

Noah shook his head, "Great, a Dragon's den...more bad luck,"

"We gotta get the hell outta here!" Christina turned to run out of the cave, but Bastion grabbed her by the arms and pulled her back, "Bastion, what-!?"

"Think!" he hissed loud enough for everyone to hear, "It's pouring rain out there, we're still wet, and that's a Thunder Dragon! It can use it's electric power to fry us all!"

"But it's a game!"

"Want to risk that?!"

The Thunder Dragon came to a halt and lay down on it's belly, slowly turning it's head from one duelist to another.

"What's it doing, sizing us up for a snack or something?" Jaden asked in a whisper.

Christina began pushing Chazz forward, ignoring the boy's struggling protests, "If it is, let's give it an offering...the one that pissed it off!"

"I appreciate the offering, human female, but I'm not hungry,"

Everyone stared as the Thunder Dragon reared it's head back. It had just spoken to them in a language they could understand!

"Dude, either I'm hallucinating or that thing just said something," Jordan mumbled.

"Did you see a pink elephant?" Christina asked him.

"No?"

"Then the dragon talked to us,"

The Thunder Dragon shook it's head, "Humans think they're superior because they choose to speak their language. If nothing can speak Human, then it must be dumber than a rat,"

"Hey, we never said that!" Jaden said defensively, "We don't think we're superior-,"

"I do...,"

WHAP!

"SHUT IT CHAZZ!"

Jaden sighed, "Look, we don't want any trouble. We just came in because we needed shelter from the storm," he explained as thunder boomed outside, startling some of the others, "Once the storm is over, we'll get outta here,"

The dragon seemed to laugh, though the kids couldn't be sure, "No, you won't, and do you know why?"

"I got a bad feeling about this," Jordan and Alexis muttered at the same time.

The Thunder Dragon lowered it's head to Jaden's eye level and looked right into his eyes, "Because, this is my cave, and you all have trespassed, regardless of your intentions,"

Siho turned to Bastion, "We're screwed, ain't we?"

"Seems like it," the Ra replied before stepping forward, "Pardon me. We are truly sorry for intruding on your home, but we had no choice. Isn't there some way we can avoid any negative consequences?" he asked politely.

The Thunder Dragon snapped its head to Bastion, making the human jump a little, "Hmm...,you humans dress differently from other humans, but you do wear duel disks like them. How about this? You entertain me with a duel and if you win, I will let you stay until the storm is over,".

"What happens if we lose?" Christina chirped.

Khamille groaned, "Man, she had to ask that question...,"

"Hmm...well let's see," the Thunder Dragon seemed to look up at the cave ceiling high above the children's heads, "I could eat you, or I could make you personal servants...after all, an Emperor needs his servants,"

Noah frowned, "Emperor?"

The dragon chuckled again, "Of course, I haven't introduced myself. Well then, now is a better time than ever, right?"

A bright golden light began to shine from the dragon's chest, making everyone cover their eyes from the brightness. They waited until the light died down and when they lowered their hands, they saw a sight that made their eyes widen a little. Instead of a large Thunder Dragon filling half of the cave, a handsome, blonde human stood in it's place. The man wore golden armor and a helmet that looked like the Thunder Dragon's head, the man's blonde hair flowing behind him. On his arm was a duel disk with the head of a dragon and an outstretched wing as the field tray. Behind him, a long tail and a large pair of wings were visible on his backside.

"I am Raiteiryu, and I am the Thunder Emperor Dragon! So, who will be my opponent?"

"I will!" Jaden held up and activated his disk.

Chazz growled at him, "Hey, Slacker! Why not give anyone else a chance?!"

Jaden grinned and held up the V sign, "Next duel, I promise!"

-----

Kairi shook her head, "Those guys need to be faster in order to beat Jaden to a duel challenge," she sighed, "They should know him better by now!"

Kristerr grinned, "They should and yet...," he shook his head too, "Least he'll give us another interesting duel,"

-----

"Let's duel!"

R: 4000
J: 4000

"My cave, my turn!" Raiteiryu drew his hand, then his card, "I summon Thunder Nyan Nyan (1900/800) in attack mode!"

A cute young woman with red hair, dressed in a leopard bikini with paws, a tail, and drums around her waist appeared on the field.

Siho's jaw dropped, "Hello...,"

Alexis, Khamille, and Christina sweatdropped as Jordan noticed something happening to Thunder Nyan Nyan.

Thunder Nyan Nyan (2200/800)

"Hey, what's going on?!"

Raiteiryu chuckled, "That's right, I forgot," he pointed outside as lightning flashed, "Normally, my monsters have their power, but when thunder and electricity fill the air, they gain a power boost of 300 points!"

"I end my turn,"

Bastion looked on at the attractive Duel Monster on the field, Thunder Nyan Nyan...I remember Syrus saying that was one of his favorite cards back in our first year at Duel Academy. In fact, it was right before I dueled Tanya, the Amazon Shadow Rider... he glanced at Jaden ...wonder what else this dragon person has in his deck?

Jaden drew his card, "I summon the Elemental Hero Knospe (600/1000) in attack mode!" he declared as a small, plant-like creature appeared on the field.

"Awww!" Christina squealed, "That's so cute!"

"Uh...thanks," Jaden said slowly, What is it with girls thinking my monsters are cute? They did the same thing with Kuriboh when I dueled Chazz... he looked at his hand, "Next, I play the Spell card known as Rose Bud!" he slipped the card into his disk and a large, green bud appeared on the field, "By sacrificing my Knospe," he paused as the little monster disappeared, "I can Special Summon a stronger monster from my hand or deck, and that monster is the Elemental Hero Poison Rose (1900/2000)!"

A tall, beautiful woman with purple skin, dressed in large, green leaves appeared on the field in place of Knospe.

"Next, I play three more Spell cards!"

Three more? Bastion blinked, curious as to Jaden's strategy, That'll leave him with just one card in his hand...what is Jaden up to?

"I play O - Oversoul to bring my Elemental Hero Knospe back to the field," Jaden's small green monster appeared alongside it's counterpart, "Next, I play E - Emergency call to add an Elemental Hero from my deck to my hand and I choose...," he fanned out his deck and scanned it, "...Elemental Hero The Heat (1600/1200)," he placed the card into his hand, "Finally, I play H - Heated Heart and use it's power to increase Poison Rose's attack power by 500 points!"

E-Hero Poison Rose (2400/2000)
E-Hero Knospe (600/1000)

"Poison Rose, attack Thunder Nyan Nyan with Rose Whip!"

Thunder Nyan Nyan let out a shrill hiss before exploding into digitized bits as Poison Rose's Rose Whip cut into her.

R: 3800
J: 4000

"Knospe, direct attack!"

R: 3200
J: 4000

"And I end my turn with that," Jaden grinned, "Not bad for the first turn, huh?"

Raiteiryu snorted as he drew his card, "No one beats the Thunder Emperor!" he looked at his hand, "I play the Spell card Swords of Revealing Light!" three large, glowing swords appeared and surrounded Jaden's monsters, "For three turns, you won't be able to attack me or my monsters! I summon Batterman AA (0/0) in attack mode, and I end my turn,"

Batteryman AA (300/0)

Jaden drew his card, "I play Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two new cards!" he paused and drew two new cards, "I summon Elemental Hero The Heat in attack mode and place two cards facedown," he slipped two cards into the slots, "Before I end my turn, I should tell you that The Heat has an interesting effect! For each Elemental Hero I have on the field, he gains 200 points!"

E-Hero Poison Rose (1900/2000)
E-Hero Knospe (600/1000)
E-Hero The Heat (2200/1200)

"I end my turn," Jaden finished, I can't attack with these swords, he thought as he glanced the glowing blades, Just gotta wait or figure something out here!

Raiteiryu drew his next card, "I sacrifice my Batteryman AA to summon a more powerful monster, the Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon (2400/1000)!!"

A roar filled the air and the cave shook a little as a very large, metal beast, rippling with electrical arcs and sparks appeared in front of the dragonic duelist.

Jordan's eyes went wide, "Oh my God! He has a copy of that card?!"

Alexis and Christina turned to him, "What's wrong Jordan?"

The Ra shook his head, "That explains why he used Swords on a weak monster like Batteryman! That dragon has an effect that depending if a certain Batteryman monster is sacrificed to summon it in a duel, it gains a certain special effect!"

"Very good," the dragonic duelist nodded, impressed, "That's so true, and as it so happens, I sacrificed a Batteryman to summon it. Batteryman AA to be exact, and if I sacrificed one of those monsters to summon this dragon, he gains 1000 extra attack points, as well as 300 because of the storm!"

S.E.V. Dragon (3700/1000)

"Now, attack Knospe, my kin!"

"Forget it!" Jaden snapped, "As long as Poison Rose in on my field, none of my other monsters can be targeted!"

Raiteiryu hmphed, "Fine...Dragon, attack Elemental Hero Poison Rose!"

"Oh, man, Jaden, you're an idiot!" Christina looked away, "HUGE idiot...,"

Jaden smirked and pressed a button on his disk, "Don't think so! I reveal my facedown Trap card, Swamp of the Fallen! This allows me to cut the attack of one monster on the field by half, and I choose your Dragon!" he pointed at the beast and grinned as the points went down.

S.E.V. Dragon (1850/1000)

"Poison Rose, counter-attack with Rose Storm!"

The huge dragon was soon assaulted by a giant maelstrom of blood-red rose petals that cut into the metal hide. The dragon roared in pain before exploding in a blinding flash of light, sparks flying into the air.

Jaden chuckled, "So much for your big bad dragon...,"

Raiteiryu hmphed again,Could this be the same boy that the Great Ones told me about? I may be an outsider to the other dragons, but I am still under their rule, so they had to tell me about a pack of humans in the forest. Perhaps...interesting...

"Yo, dude, still your turn," Jaden waved a hand at him, "But, before you keep going, I should tell ya that everytime Poison Rose does Battle Damage to you, she gains 200 attack points while she loses 200 defense points,"

E-Hero Poison Rose (2100/1800)
E-Hero Knospe (600/1000)

E-Hero The Heat (2200/1200)

"I am aware, human," Raiteiryu looked at his hand, "I play my own Pot of Greed!" he drew two new cards, This may leave me at a disadvantage hand-wise, but I see no other way to beat this simpleton before the Swords are down... he looked up at Jaden, "I place two cards facedown, then I play the Spell card Polymerization to fuse the two Thunder Dragons from my hand to summon the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (2800/2100), whose not only powerful by himself, but with the electric air around us...,"

Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (3100/2100)

"I end my turn, human," Raiteiryu smirked, even as the Swords disappeared finally,Get through that, human! Show me if you're the one my Kings are interested in!

Hmmm... Jaden looked up at the large dragon, "I can beat that!"

"What?" Raiteiryu blinked, "Pardon?"

"I can beat that," Jaden repeated calmly as he drew his card, "First off-,"

"Hold on!" Raiteiryu pressed a disk, "I activate my facedown Trap card, Threatening Roar! This card makes it so you can't declare an attack this turn!"

Jaden slumped his shoulders, "Jeez, can't cut a guy a break, huh? Oh well, I'll just summon Elemental Lady Heat (1300/1000) to the field, then I'll play the Equip Spell card, United We Stand! This card powers upa monster on my field by 800 points for every other monster on my field!" Jaden grinned, "I'll equip this to the Heat and end my turn. Don't forget, with each Hero on the field, The Heat gains 200 points! Not only that, but at the end of my turn, Lady Heat deals you 200 points of damage for each Elemental Hero I have on the field, and there's four!"

R: 2400
J: 4000

E-Hero Poison Rose (2100/1800)
E-Hero Knospe (600/1000)
E-Hero The Heat (5600/4400)
E-Hero Lady Heat (1300/1000)

"What the...," Noah stared at Jaden's tactics, "That's amazing!" he looked at the others, "Does he always duel like this?"

"Believe it or not, sometimes, he's better than this," Alexis murmured to him.

Raiteiryu drew his card, "It end's here! First, I play my facedown Trap card, Call of the Haunted to summon back my Thunder Nyan Nyan to the field, and I'll boost her power with the Spell card known as Electro-Whip! This powers up her up in both attack and defense by 300, which is added to the 300 points due to the storm!"

Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (3100/2100)
Thunder Nyan Nyan (2500/1100)

"Thunder Nyan Nyan, attack Poison Rose with Thunder Drum Beat!"

The leopard cat-girl giggled and began to pound her drums, each beat creating a bolt of lightning that struck Poison Rose hard. It only lasted a few seconds, but Thunder Nyan Nyan stopped and Poison Rose, smoking and charred, blew to pieces.

R: 2400
J: 3600

"Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, attack and obliterate Knospe!"

The two headed dragon roared and sent a powerful electric orb blast that collided with the small monster. Jaden held up his arm to protect his eyes as a blinding light filled the cave, "Aw man!"

R: 2400
J: 1100

"An amazing strategy!"

Jordan turned to Bastion, "What is?"

Bastion pointed to Jaden's field, "Not only did he take out two of Jaden's monsters, and weakened his Life Points, but he succeeded in lowering the power in Jaden's Heat monster!"

Frowning, Jordan turned to the duel, "What?"

"It's quite simple," Bastion cleared his throat, "Both the card, United We Stand, and The Heat's ability draws on the number of monsters on the field. Not only did the so called Emperor destroy Poison Rose and took down Jaden's defense, but he took out his weakest monster, dealing a large amount of damage and weaking Jaden's strongest monster!" he shook his head, "As I said, amazing!"

E-Hero The Heat (3600/2800)
E-Hero Lady Heat (1300/1000)

"Still strong...," Jordan muttered, "He can still win,"

"Normally, yes," Bastion agreed, nodding slowly, "But Raiteiryu is a smart opponent...if Jaden doesn't end this soon, he may lose the duel!"

"Aw crap...!"

Jaden drew his card and looked at the monsters in front of him, Just hope this works...!

"Do it, human!" the dragonic duelist snapped, "My patience is wearing thin!"

"You asked for it!" Jaden pointed to the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, "Heat, take out that dragon with Hero Heatwave!"

The Heat aimed and threw a devastating, fiery punch that caused the dragon to roar in agony before exploding into nothingness.

Raiteiryu chuckled, "Waste of a turn!"

R: 1900
J: 1100

"That's what you think!" Jaden pressed a button on his disk and his last facedown was uprooted, "Activate Trap card, Backdraft!"

"Eh?" Raiteiryu raised a brow, "Backdraft?"

Jaden nodded, "Yep, Backdraft! This Trap card is activated after a Fire-Attribute monster deals Battle Damage to my opponent! Since The Heat beat your dragon, it's activated!"

"So, what's it do?"

"Funny you should ask...," Jaden grinned slyly, "This Trap deals you damage equal to the attack points of the Fire monster that did you damage this turn!"

Raiteiryu's eyes widened, "But...that means...!"

"That's right!" Jaden nodded slowly, "The Heat deals you 3600 points of damage!"

R: 0
J: 1100

"And that's game!"

Raiteiryu yelled as his duel disk blew apart. He fell to his knees and shapshifted back into his dragon form while Jaden and his friends celebrated the Slifer's latest victory. Noah, for one, was very impressed.

"He beat me...the Thunder Emperor was actually beaten...by a human!"

As he stared at the floor, a pair of sneakers entered his line of sight.

"Humans are alot tougher than creatures give them credit for,"

The dragon looked up to see Christina standing in front of him, hands behind her head.

"I see that, now," Raiteiryu picked himself up and looked down at her, "I know what I must do now,"

Back at the entrance, Bastion was patting Jaden on the back, glad to see his friend have another victory under his belt.

"Good show, Jaden! Looks like you're getting better at using those new Elemental Heroes," the Ra commented, "Impressive,"

"I'll say," Noah stepped forward, "I've been around and I haven't seen dueling like that in a long, long time," he held out his hand, "Congratulations. I see that you have a promising future as a duelist ahead of you,"

Jaden smiled sheepishly and shook Noah's hand as he rubbed the back of his head, "Aw...well, I am going to be the next King of Games, ya know!"

Noah looked at him for a few moments before nodding, "Indeed,"

As Noah pulled his hand back, a terrified scream ripped through the air, startling them. The group turned to the source, but as they did, a large, green form flew past them and out of the cave. Jaden and Noah quickly picked themselves up and looked at the sky to see Raiteiryu hovering in the air, Christina clutched firmly in his claws. Not only that, but both Bastion and Jordan were hanging onto her legs.

"Chrissy! Bastion! Jordan!" Siho ran outside and glared up at the dragon, "Hey, lizard face, let them go!"

Raiteiryu flapped his wings, "I cannot do that, human! My loss at the hands of your friend has given me insight, and I must do what I have to do in order to survive!"

"To survive?" Khamille frowned, "What do you mean?"

"NEVERMIND WHAT GODZILLA MEANS, JUST GET US DOWN FROM HERE!" Christina screamed, "FOR THE LOVE OF RA, GET US DOWN!"

Raiteiryu looked down at her and the boys, "I don't need extra baggage...," he growled before swiping the boys off with his tail. As the two boys hit the ground, the others watched the Thunder Dragon fly off to the large mountain nearby.

"Well, at least we know where Mount Dracon is," Bastion mused, rubbing his head, "We have to go after Chrissy,"

"Damn straight!" Jordan said, fuming, ignoring the lump on his head, "That over-sized lizard is gonna pay!"

Chazz growled, "Let's just leave her, and get to the Manor already! She'll be fine,"

"HELL NO!"

-----

The ride up the mountain had Christina terrified. VR or not, she didn't like the idea of being way off the ground like she was, clutched in the claws of a Thunder Dragon. After a traumatizing ride up, they reached a large cave in the mountainside. Raiteiryu landed and walked in, Christina held close to his body.

"My Kings! I bring news and a gift!" he called out.

Kings? Christina thought and watched as a large, beautiful ivory dragon stepped out from the blackness of the cave and into the light coming from the entrance, A Blue Eyes White Dragon?! Oh crap!

Raiteiryu released Christina and nudged her forward so hard, she fell to her knees.

"Report," the ivory dragon ordered.

"I just lost a duel to the boy that you told us about, my King," Raiteiryu said casually, "The spy's report was correct...he does have power in him. I do believe he will be what we want him to be," he nodded to the human girl, "They will be coming for her. With her as the incentive, they will surely come,"

The dragon looked at Christina, "My name is Azuryu, King of the Northern Light Dragons. Human girl, what is your name?"

"Uhm...," the Slifer kept her eyes on the ground, careful not to make eye contact, "Christina. Listen, um, your highness...if you wanted to do something with Jaden, you don't need me...,"

"That's where you're wrong,"

A bright light began to glow from the White Dragon, a light that reminded Christina of Raiteiryu's transformation. When it died down, she looked up and saw a handsome humanoid male standing before her, wearing magnificent white armor as a scaly tail and leathery wings were shown behind him. However, Christina stared at the man's face. She had seen that face so many times before in the real world. His eyes were the same cobalt blue color, and he had the same hairstyle as him, but the brown hair was streaked with white.

He looks just like Seto Kaiba! The hell?!

Kilnorc: Oh for the love of all anime gods, my fingers hurt -holds up crooked fingers- I've been working on this for a while now. I'm very sorry, to the fans of this fic, for waiting for long, but I've been very into my OP series. However, I am getting back into this and I promise more updates...just as soon as my fingers get better, LOL.
