Opening up in Knapford Park, Thomas Billinton and Spencer Gresley were both in the middle of their duel, and it didn't look so good for the former:
-Spencer (LP: 1600) had both Maiden with Eyes of Blue, and a Blue-Eyes White Dragon on his side of the field.
-Thomas (LP: 2300) had both Dark Magician and Obnoxious Celtic Guardian on his side of the field.
Thomas was still in the middle of his battle phase, but was still staring in awe and fear at the sight of Spencer's dragon. Meanwhile, the other Tidmouth Teens were all still watching the match going on, and they were very worried about their blue-haired friend.
"Oh man." mumbled James. "Thomas is in big trouble."
"Look how long it took him to take down that XYZ-Dragon Cannon," added Toby. "Now he has a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to deal with."
"And don't forget that there are two more copies in that deck." Percy reminded the brown-haired boy.
"And Thomas probably used up his best cards at the start and to fend off Spencer's earlier attacks and counters." Henry added.
"To be honest, it will take a miracle for him to pull through." finished Gordon.
Back in the duel field...
"Might be MORE than a miracle..." thought Thomas, and then he looked at Spencer.
"What's the matter?" grinned Spencer. "Losing your good luck? How quaint. You were never a match for me!"
The blue-haired boy merely glared and looked at his current hand. Nothing he had right now would be able to help him. All he could do was try to hold out for something helpful.
"I switch my Dark Magician to defense mode." Thomas said finally, switching the monster card on his Duel Disk sideways. "That finishes my turn."
The resulting action caused Dark Magician to kneel down into a defensive stance.
"Heh! Just as I expected." snorted Spencer. "All you can do now, is wait for me to go and finish you off."
The rest of the gang watched as Thomas stood his ground, trying his hardest to remain brave despite facing a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"Thomas..." whispered Emily quietly.
The Challenge (2): The Heart of the Cards
"My turn, now!" Spencer announced, and drew his card. "Draw!"
Turn Fifteen: Spencer Gresley (LP: 1600)
Deck: (20)
Current Hand (3): Cloning, De-Fusion, and Burst Stream of Destruction
It was a Spell card called Burst Stream of Destruction. The silver-haired boy knew what to do with it...
"From my hand, I'll activate a Spell card!" He slid the card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. A hologram of the card appeared face-up on the field. "Burst Stream of Destruction!"
"Oh no..." groaned Edward. "Since Spencer has a Blue-Eyes White Dragon out, he can now destroy any one of Thomas's monsters, right away!"
"Precisely!" said Spencer sinisterly. "But luckily, I won't be able to attack after using this effect. Now, which monster should I get rid of?"
He looked around Thomas's field. Spencer's smug grin widened as he made a decision.
"I know, I'll target the Dark Magician!" he announced. "Burst Stream of Destruction, fire!"
With that, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon let loose another blast of White Lightning that hit the Dark Magician, who gave a yell before shattering into pieces.
"Dark Magician!" cried Thomas, as he shielded himself from the blast.
"Now you don't even have your best monster to protect the likes of you." laughed Spencer. "Good luck trying to beat me with that weakling elf."
Obnoxious Celtic Guardian seemed to glare at Spencer for that insult. Thomas, likewise, was not too thrilled with his monsters being insulted.
"It's my turn now, Spencer." growled Thomas. "So get ready!"
With no hesitation, he drew his card.
Turn Sixteen: Thomas Billinton (LP: 2300)
Deck: (20)
Current Hand (3): Shift, Dark Magician Girl, and Pot of Greed
"I activate the Spell card Pot of Greed!" Thomas held up the Pot of Greed Spell card. "This lets me draw two cards!"
The blue-haired boy soon had Monster Reborn and Swords of Revealing Light (two Spell cards) added to his hand.
"Okay, this could buy me some time." Thomas thought to himself, just before holding out the Monster Reborn Spell card. "From my hand, I'll activate the Spell card Monster Reborn!" His graveyard started shooting out a bright light. "I can now revive a monster from either player's graveyard, and I choose my Dark Magician!"
Dark Magician reappeared on the field next to Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, but Thomas wasn't finished yet...
"Now, I'll sacrifice my Celtic Guardian!"
The elf warrior had vanished, and the silhouette of a new monster had taken shape.
"What's he up to?" asked Emily.
"I don't know," answered Toby. "But I hope it's something good."
Back in the duel field...
"Say hello-" said Thomas, smiling widely. "-to the Dark Magician's apprentice; Dark Magician Girl!"
He then placed the card onto an empty monster field slot. On cue, a female spellcaster (and dare I may say, a very pretty looking one) was shown. Her outfit composed of an off-the-shoulders garment that extends to her mid-thighs and ends up as a skirt. It was colored blue with pink trimmings and a few touches of yellow. Also, her hat is pointed, like Dark Magician's, except it was also blue, along with pink rings and a pink spiral on one side. She also wore boots reaching halfway up her thighs, and her wand, which was blue, had a spiral which was very similar to the one on her hat, except that it is yellow. She also wore pink and blue gauntlets. Her most prominent features, however, were the faint pink markings on her cheeks, long blonde hair, and emerald green eyes (Level: 6/ATK: 2000/DEF: 1700). Both Gordon and James took one look at the female monster and they nearly popped a vein as their eyes turned into hearts.
"No mortal words can be used to describe such beauty!" cried Gordon.
"Ask her if she's single!" exclaimed James. "And maybe get her phone number, too!"
Emily only rolled her eyes. "Boys..." she mumbled.
Spencer, however, wasn't impressed by the new monster nor the Dark Magician returning.
"Those two magicians stand no chance against the might of my Blue-Eyes." he pointed out. "I'll just wipe them out, and in the case of your Dark Magician, again."
"Tell that to my next Spell card-" retorted Thomas, slotting another card into his Duel Disk. "Swords of Revealing Light!"
Suddenly large swords shaped from light came down from the sky, surrounding Spencer's monsters.
"What's the meaning of this?!" The silver-haired boy demanded.
"Now, for three turns, your monsters can't declare an attack of any kind." explained Thomas, smirking a bit. "I now have some time to think of a way to destroy your Blue-Eyes."
Spencer sneered. "Good luck trying. My dragon has 3000 attack points, which is far more than either of your magicians."
"But since your Maiden with Eyes of Blue is in attack mode, and her effects only work once, she's left wide open!" Thomas pointed forth, making Spencer gasp in horror. "Dark Magician Girl, attack the Maiden with Eyes of Blue with Dark Burning Attack!"
"This is it!" Percy said excitedly. "If the attack succeeds, Thomas wins!"
Dark Magician Girl charged up her wand and fired off a magical blast from the tip of the weapon, heading straight towards Spencer's maiden. However...
"I don't think so!" cried Spencer, poking a button on his Duel Disk. "I had a feeling you would try that, so I reveal my Trap card! Behold Attack Guidance Armor!"
Spencer's facedown card flipped up and revealed itself, just as a suit of armor appeared from the face-up Trap card.
"Now, my armor will attach itself to any non-attacking monster on the field. And I choose for it to attach to my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
The cursed armor was now equipped to Blue-Eyes White Dragon and it roared loudly.
"The monster that is equipped with the cursed armor will become the target of attack, now!" Spencer grinned broadly, knowing that he was safe.
"Oh no!" cried Thomas.
"Now Dark Magician Girl's gonna attack Blue-Eyes!" wailed Percy.
The green-haired boy was right; Dark Magician Girl's blast was redirected from Maiden with Eyes of Blue to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The blast hit... but Blue-Eyes White Dragon merely shrugged it off and started to charge up a burst of energy in its mouth.
"Strike back, Blue-Eyes!" called Spencer. "WHITE LIGHTNING ATTACK!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon obeyed, and fired off its attack. Dark Magician watched in horror as his apprentice was easily destroyed by the counterattack. Thomas was also shocked to see what happened to his monster (LP: 1300).
"Now that was a close call." Spencer was saying teasingly. "But it's a good thing I planned ahead just in case."
James and Gordon were both now enraged at what Spencer had done and their eyes turned into flames of anger.
"How dare you destroy such an innocent beauty like that!" roared Gordon.
"You will pay for this disrespectful behavior, you jerk!" yelled James, just before he and Gordon tried to charge at Spencer with their fists drawn.
Edward and Toby both held the two angry teenage boys from running forth to the dueling field.
"Take it easy, you two!" Toby scolded. "It was just a hologram!"
Back in the duel field... Realizing he had nothing left to do, Thomas let loose a heavy sigh.
"My turn is over."
"As predicted." chuckled Spencer. "Now watch as my deck continues to show its might."
He drew his card and smirked upon seeing it.
Turn Seventeen: Spencer Gresley (LP: 1600)
Deck: (19)
Current Hand (3): Cloning, De-Fusion, and Card of Demise
Swords of Revealing Light: Three turns
"I activate a Spell card - Card of Demise!" The silver-haired boy announced, sliding the card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. "Thanks to it, I get to draw until I hold five cards!" He drew three cards. "And after five turns go by, I must discard my entire hand."
He now had two more Blue-Eyes White Dragons and Lord of Dragons added to his hand (each being monster cards).
"Just two more cards, and I'll show him real fear." Spencer thought to himself. "I'll end my turn, now."
Thomas only narrowed his eyes and drew his next card.
Turn Eighteen: Thomas Billinton (LP: 1300)
Deck: (17)
Current Hand (2): Shift and Mystical Refpanel
"Still nothing." Thomas thought in frustration. "I'll pass."
Spencer drew his next card silently.
Turn Nineteen: Spencer Gresley (LP: 1600)
Deck: (14)
Current Hand (6): Cloning, De-Fusion, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Lord of Dragons, and De-Spell
Swords of Revealing Light: Two turns
Looking at his drawn card, the silver-haired boy added it to his hand, took out another, and slotted it into his Duel Disk.
"I'll set one card facedown."
A facedown card appeared on the field, which was behind Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"You don't stand a chance against me, Billinton." said Spencer proudly. "Once I get what I need, you're finished!"
"We'll see!" retorted Thomas, as he drew his next card.
Turn Twenty: Thomas Billinton (LP: 1300)
Deck: (16)
Current Hand (3): Shift, Mystical Refpanel, and Magical Hats
The blue-haired boy's drawn card was a Spell card called Magical Hats.
"I'll I can do now is hope that these two cards can help me buy more time." Thomas thought to himself, and took two of the cards (Magical Hats and Mystical Refpanel). "I'll set two cards facedown." Two facedown cards appeared on the field, with one of them being behind Dark Magician. "And that's my turn."
With the worried audience...
"It looks like Thomas is running out of options." sighed James.
"We have to keep believing in him." reassured Emily.
"Fat lot of good that'll do!" interrupted Spencer, who had overheard the comment. "It would be much easier and less embarrassing if he just surrendered."
With that said, he drew his next card.
Turn Twenty-One: Spencer Gresley (LP: 1600)
Deck: (13)
Current Hand (6): Cloning, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Lord of Dragons, De-Spell, and Polymerization
Swords of Revealing Light: One turn
Spencer's eyes widened at what he drew, and his smile grew evil.
"This duel is mine, Billinton." he said gleefully. "The time has come for me to win!"
"What are you planning to do?!" Thomas demanded.
"Why tell you when I can SHOW you instead?" suggested Spencer, taking a card from his hand and holding it out. "But first, I'll activate De-Spell! This lets me destroy one Spell card on the field. And so, your Swords of Revealing Light are about to go out a turn early!"
The swords around Spencer's monsters shattered into nothingness.
"Oh no!" cried Thomas, taking a step back from shock. "Now your Blue-Eyes is free to attack!"
"Exactly!" snickered Spencer. "And it gets a lot worse. Because if you couldn't beat one Blue-Eyes, then how do you expect to handle THREE?" He held out the card he had drawn earlier. "I activate the Spell card Polymerization!"
Thomas and the Tidmouth Teens all watched in complete terror.
"Oh no!" cried Percy. "He's about to fuse his three dragons together!"
Back in the duel field...
"Oh yes!" Spencer shouted dramatically, and slid the Polymerization Spell card into one of the Spell/Trap slots on his Duel Disk. From there, the mentioned Spell card materialized face-up on the field. "Behold Polymerization! With it, I fuse the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on my field with the two copies that are in my hand!"
Two more Blue-Eyes White Dragons briefly appeared on the field beside the one already present, and they began merging.
"Now I create a Duel Monster without peer! With an attack force so great that no monster can stand against it!"
An explosion ensured, along with a light show. Once it ended, it was shown that the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons had now become one. This new dragon had three Blue-Eyes White Dragon heads and even stronger scales. The three heads all roared at once and generated a shockwave so strong that Thomas had to try his hardest to stay on his feet.
"I create the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Spencer finished.
Once again, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon let loose a terrifying roar.
"T-That thing is huge!" cried Emily.
"Well, now we know there IS something bigger than Spencer's opinion of himself." Gordon said to only himself.
Back in the duel field...
"You should have surrendered when you had the chance, Billinton." Spencer laughed menacingly. "Now prepare to be humiliated! Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack Dark Magician and end this duel!"
The three headed Blue-Eyes Dragon obeyed and charged up a multi-colored blast from their mouths.
"NEUTRON BLAST ATTACK!"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon went and fired off a blast far bigger than Blue-Eyes White Dragon's signature attack. The devastating blast got closer and closer... and Thomas knew he had to make this move quick.
"Facedown card, open!" The blue-haired boy cried out, pressing a button on his Duel Disk. This caused the first facedown card to flip up and reveal itself. "I'll conceal my Dark Magician with Magical Hats!"
Just like that, four large striped hats popped out of the card and scattered around, causing the Dark Magician to disappear.
"What?!" cried Spencer. "What's the meaning of this?"
"Thanks to Magical Hats, you only have a 1-in-4 chance of hitting my magician." smirked Thomas, wagging his index finger. "If you hit it, you win. But miss, then it will buy me another turn."
Spencer scowled, but quickly smiled confidently.
"I know exactly where the Dark Magician is." he said arrogantly. "This duel is all over, Billinton... Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy the hat on the far right!"
Obeying, the three-headed dragon charged another blast and unleashed it on the hat, destroying it. Spencer snickered wickedly as dust clouded the dueling field.
"I win!"
When the dust cleared, the hat was revealed to be...empty.
"No...! I've missed." Spencer growled in frustration.
"Yeah!" cheered Percy. "Thomas still has another chance to turn this duel around."
"That was considerably lucky." commented Edward.
"So you've managed to survive this turn..." Spencer scoffed dismissively. "Not that it really matter to me, anyway... just look at my monster!"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon let out yet another shockwave-like roar (Level: 12/ATK: 4500/DEF: 3800).
"With 4500 attack points, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is the strongest monster in the whole game! There's not a single card in your deck that can defeat it!"
"Can it, Spencer!" snapped Percy. He then turned is attention to his best friend... "You can beat him, Thomas!"
Regardless, Spencer wasn't too worried and glanced at his facedown card.
"On my next turn-" he thought to himself. "-if Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon fails again to destroy Dark Magician, I'll just use my facedown De-Fusion to split my dragon into my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons and attack with them, winning me the duel. Then Billinton will see not to mess with a professional duelist like me..."
Thomas, meanwhile, looked at the mighty three-headed dragon, which was staring him down with its menacing eyes.
"I have to draw the right card and counter that dragon." The blue-haired boy thought to himself. "If not, I'll lose this duel." Thomas slowly reached for his deck, but to him, it seemed like the deck was sliding away from him. "What's going on? Are the cards resisting?" He then realized something. "No, it's ME. I'm too scared that I'll draw the wrong card and lose."
Just then...
"Don't lose focus, Thomas!" called out Edward. "Don't lose faith!"
"Huh?"
Thomas turned around and saw that his friends watching him, and then they started talking to him.
"Thomas, we know you can do it!" called Emily. "While you're still rather new to the game, you've proven so far to be a match for that jerk!"
"If you give up now, then you and I will never hear the end of it!" Gordon threw in. "You HAVE to win this duel!"
"We're your friends, and you've never given up on us." Henry stated. "And remember that we're always there for you."
"Remember what you told Spencer before your duel began?" Percy asked. "You said you would beat him and restore my spirit as a duelist. You can't back down on your word, now!"
"You still have a card in your deck that will help you!" Toby threw in. "Just believe in yourself, and your cards, and you'll draw it!"
"Yeah!" James agreed. "Now go and kick Spencer's butt, buddy!"
Thomas felt his mind growing calmer, and he smiled at his band of friends.
"Thank you, everyone." he said quietly. "I'm not afraid anymore."
"It's your turn, Billinton!" called Spencer, rudely interrupting the gangs' moment. "Quit stalling and make a move. Or have you given up hope of defeating me and plan to surrender?"
"I haven't given up hope, Spencer..." said Thomas, turning to face the silver-haired boy. "You may have a deck full of power cards and a rich family, but I have something that you don't have; true friends. They believe in me, and I believe in the Heart of the Cards!"
With that, he fiercely drew his card, slashing a colorful waye in the process (or rather, a Destiny Draw). The blue-haired boy smiled as he looked at what he had just drawn.
Turn Twenty-Two: Thomas Billinton (LP: 1300)
Deck: (15)
Current Hand (2): Shift and Card of Sanctity
"For my first move, I play the Spell card Card of Sanctity!" Thomas declared, holding his drawn card out for Spencer to see. "This allows both of us to draw until we hold six cards in our hands."
"You're just stalling." Spencer snorted, drawing four cards.
Thomas drew five cards and looked at them. It now consisted of Spider Web, Emblem of Dragon Destroyer, Diffusion Wave-Motion, Skilled Dark Magician, and Summoned Skull added to his hand, but the three Spell cards were what he really needed.
"I remove my Dark Magician from the Magical Hats."
The top of the middle hat opened and the Dark Magician came out from it.
"So, you've decided not to hide anymore." smirked Spencer.
"Next, from my hand, I'll activate the Spell card Emblem of Dragon Destroyer." continued Thomas, slotting another card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. "With this, I can add Buster Blader from my deck or graveyard to my hand."
A card came out from Thomas's deck and he added it to his hand. Suddenly, another Spell card (Spider Web) materialized face-up on the field.
"And now, I'll activate the Spell card Spider Web! This lets me take a Spell card from your graveyard that was sent there last turn, and add it to my hand."
A silky rope shot out from the holographic image of the card and into Spencer's graveyard. It pulled out a card, and Thomas skillfully caught it.
"And the card I chose is Polymerization!" The blue-haired boy declared, holding the card for Spencer to see.
"Polymerization?" Spencer blinked, just before realizing something... "Wait, that means you're gonna perform a second fusion summon!"
"Correct!" Thomas replied, slotting the obtained card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. "And now, I'll activate Polymerization!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up on the field.
"I fuse Dark Magician with the Buster Blader in my hand!" declared Thomas. A hologram of 'Buster Blader', a swordsman dressed in full dark purple with a huge Sword appeared besides Dark Magician (a purple-haired human male wearing purple robes while wielding a scepter) before the two were fused together. "Now, behold the 'Ultimate Dragon Slayer' - Dark Paladin!"
Appearing on the field before Spencer and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was what appeared to be the 'Dark Magician', but with a light bluish skin. His robes had also changed to a darkish green with yellow trims. And his staff now looked like it had a blade on top of it (Level: 8/ATK: 2900/DEF: 2400). Spencer's horrified expression quickly wore off... He thought he could still win the duel with his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"If that's the best you've got, then you're sorely mistaken." The silver-haired boy remarked. "Your Dark Paladin only has 2900 attack points, and my Ultimate Dragon has an attack stat of 4500! ...not that it even matters to me, anyway." He pressed a button on his Duel Disk. "Facedown card, open - De-Fusion, activate!"
The facedown card on Spencer's side of the field flipped up and revealed itself.
"Now your fusion monster will return to the extra deck while the monsters used to summon it are summoned back to the field!" Spencer said proudly. "Say goodbye to your Dark Paladin... and hello to your defeat!"
"Not so fast, Spencer!" objected Thomas, having been ready for a play like that. "Facedown card, open!" He then poked a button on his Duel Disk and his facedown card rose. "I activate a Trap - Mystical Refpanel! This will counter your Spell card and let me use its effect instead...! So your Ultimate Dragon shall instead split apart back into the monsters that created it."
Spencer's eyes widened with horror as his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon split back into the three original Blue-Eyes White Dragons each (Level: 8/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500) x3.
"No, not my Ultimate Dragon!" The silver-haired boy thought to himself furiously, but quickly calmed himself from thinking he could still win the duel. "You may have split my monster up, but now you face three hungry Blue-Eyes White Dragons." Spencer's expression grew more sinister. "On my next turn, I'll destroy your Dark Paladin and wipe out the rest of your life points!"
"That's where you're wrong, Spencer!" retorted Thomas, giving a smile. "I play Dark Paladin's special ability. For every dragon on the field and in the graveyard, he gains 500 attack points."
"For each dragon?" cried Spencer. "No, it can't be!"
Dark Paladin's sword-like scepter began glowing as he started to gain considerable power (ATK: 2900 - 4900).
"Finally, I play my final Spell card." Thomas slotted his card into the Duel Disk. On cue, a Spell card called Diffusion Wave-Motion flipped face-up and revealed itself. "Diffusion Wave-Motion!"
"W-What the-?!" gasped Spencer, his eyes going bloodshot with horror.
"By giving up 1000 life points-" explained Thomas (LP: 300). "-my Dark Paladin can attack every monster on your side of the field. Dark Paladin, get ready to attack and finish this duel!"
Dark Paladin started charging his scepter. The power boost from the four dragons and from Diffusion Wave-Motion made him so strong that his staff started crackling with great power.
"NO WAY!" screamed Spencer, taking a step back in terror at his impending loss. "I-I'm about to lose? Y-YOU'RE SAYING YOU PERFORMED A MIRACLE?!"
"I guess you can say that." confirmed Thomas, before giving the final command. "'Dark Paladin'... SUPER MAGICAL SHADOWLESS SLASH!"
'Dark Paladin' obeyed and slammed his scepter onto the ground, causing a shockwave of magical energy to fire forth to Spencer's side of the field. The three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' gave a roar before the shockwaves cut into their white scales and they shattered into dust, while the 'Maiden with Eyes of Blue' just gave a shriek before being shattered into pieces. Spencer, on the other hand, could only watch and scream in horror as the last of his life points finally reached zero (LP: 0).
DUEL RESULTS: Thomas Billinton wins!
"He did it!" cried Emily. "Thomas won!"
Shocked from his loss, Spencer could only fall to his knees as the remains of his deck spilled out of his Duel Disk.
"But, how...?" he asked himself. "All the tournaments I've won, the most powerful deck available... How could I lose to a mere beginner?"
"No matter how powerful your cards may be, Spencer-" Thomas explained. "-without heart, they're meaningless. But when you link yourself to your deck and believe in the Heart of the Cards, miracles can happen."
With the duel all over, the lone hologram of Dark Paladin disappeared. Spencer, meanwhile, had felt his anger over losing reach its breaking point around here.
"Heart of the Cards?!" he shouted in disgust. "That's complete nonsense! Cards are all about power! Which is something you and your friends will never understand! Also know that this isn't the end... not by a longshot! I'll get even with you one day, Billinton! Mark my words!"
With that, the silver-haired boy scooped up his remaining cards and walked away in a rage, muttering curse words along the way. As soon as Spencer was long gone, the remaining Tidmouth Teens all approached their blue-haired friend.
"That was so awesome!" shouted James.
"You literally mopped the floor with Spencer." Henry claimed.
"How does it feel?" asked Toby.
Thomas didn't know what to say. He had just beaten a champion duelist, and it was so shocking for him to think about it.
"I-I...don't know what to say." Thomas admitted.
Emily smiled. "Well, I do." Without any warning, the dark green-haired girl pulled Thomas into a hug, holding him very close to her. This caused the few months younger boy to blush as he returned the hug. "Congratulations, Thomas."
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile, somewhere in the country of the United States; inside a fancy dining hall of a very rich mansion, the mysterious figure (who was at Knapford City Mall) was seated at the table reading his comic book and sipping some wine from a wine glass. Suddenly, he was greeted by a butler of some sort.
"Yes?" said the figure, without even turning towards his butler. "And how did the duel turn out?"
"Sir-" The butler bowed politely. "-the winner has been decided; it was that Thomas Billinton kid."
The man smiled. "As I had expected." he said in a pleased tone. "Pack some of my stuff, please. I'm going to meet with our chosen one."
"As you wish, master."
Who was that mysterious man, and why does he wish to visit Thomas on the Island of Sodor? Find out about it next time!
