Opening up in a jet plane over the big Canadian City of Montreal. Inside, Spencer was seated inside one of his private quarters, patiently waiting for his arrival in San Francisco. Regardless, he was not happy. No, scratch unhappy, or even cross. The silver-haired boy was beyond furious with what Discord 'seemingly' had done.
"Discord..." he thought to himself bitterly.
On cue, a flashback started.
FLASHBACK
It was two years ago. Spencer and his parents were visiting Industrial Illusions to discuss a possible partnership between that company and Boxford Corp.
"As you can see, Mr. Crawford-" said Mr. Gresley (Boxford). "-a partnership between our companies would be quite an opportunity."
"And one I would very much love to accept." Discord replied, sounding excited. "In fact, I love the idea so much that I'll have my executives prepare the contract right away-"
"No!" cried Spencer, interrupting the CEO of Industrial Illusions. "I object to the whole thing!"
"Spencer, what is the matter with you?" demanded Mrs. Gresley (Boxford). "That's no way to act when making a deal."
"Mom, Dad, we shouldn't do this." Spencer stated, sounding unhappy. "Boxford Corp has always been doing great without any help. Its products are always selling extremely well. Why should we change all that now?"
"How else do you expect to get along with other companies if you don't form partnerships with them?" asked Mr. Gresley (Boxford). "Mr. Crawford does well with his own company and we would be doing even better by joining together."
"I don't trust him." Spencer retorted, eyeing Discord suspiciously. "How do we know that he won't try to initiate a take-over if we agree to join together?"
"My boy." Discord spoke up, not sounding offended the slightest. "I assure you that I will never try ANYTHING like that. ...besides, it would give me and my company a very bad reputation if I tried some like that."
"You really must learn to be more trusting of others, Spencer." said Mrs. Gresley (Boxford).
Spencer, sensing that he wasn't going to win this argument, sighed in defeat and looked back at Discord, his hostile expression not changing but his voice seemed softer and less aggressive.
"Very well." he admitted, and looked to his parents. "I guess you're right."
"Wonderful, Spencer-boy!" cried Discord, happily standing up from his seat. "You won't be disappointed at all."
Deep down, Spencer hoped that was the case.
END FLASHBACK
The flashback ended, and Spencer looked up with his look of anger not leaving his face.
"I knew I couldn't trust him..."
At that point, one of Spencer's employees walked into the quarters.
"Sir, we'll be reaching the United States in a matter of hours." The suit stated.
"Good." nodded Spencer. "Once we get there, I'll teach that Discord not to mess with the Boxford faction of the Gresley family."
Title: The Reptile Queen, Part 3
Back in San Francisco's harbor, Thomas was in the middle of his duel against Commander Laura, one of Sailor John's pirate commanders. And currently, the situation was not looking too good for our blue-haired hero:
-Thomas (LP: 1000), for example, had just lost Valkyrion the Magna Warrior last turn and had recently drew two Spell cards with Pot of Greed.
-Commander Laura (LP: 1600), meanwhile, had just ritual summoned her most powerful monster of all; Escargoon - King of Lizards (Level: 9/ATK: 3500/DEF: 2000).
"This doesn't look good for Thomas." groaned Percy. He's lost two powerful monsters and now he's got an even more powerful lizard to deal with.
"Isn't there anything he can do?" asked Toby. "I mean, there has to be a card in his deck that can help him."
"Toby's right." Mavis agreed. "And remember; if he loses, then not only does Thomas HAVE to join those pirates, but they'll also immediately lower that anchor, and Emily, into the ocean."
"This is madness!" complained James. "Why can't they just set her free either way?"
Unfortunately, no one had an answer to the red-haired boy's question. Back with Thomas, it was still his turn, and he was looking at his two drawn Spell cards.
"I guess these will have to buy me some time." he thought before sliding one of the cards into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. "I play Dark Magic Curtain!"
The Dark Magic Curtain card materialized face-up as the blue-haired boy felt himself taking a life point hit (LP: 500).
"What this card does is allows me to pay half my life points to special summon from my hand or deck a powerful spellcaster-type monster."
Commander Laura snickered. "Go ahead! Summon anything you want. My Lizard King will destroy it oh so easily!"
Thomas gave a smile. "Are you so sure?"
"Huh?" Commander Laura looked surprised.
The blue-haired boy kept his smile as a card slid out from his deck, and he took hold of it.
"I call forth my Dark Magician!" Thomas announced, placing the card onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
A large curtain with a skeleton on top appeared before them. The curtain was quickly drawn and the Dark Magician came out from it, twirling his scepter (Level: 7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100).
"Thomas-boy might have a chance." said Discord, pleased to see Thomas's ace monster.
"But how?" asked Henry. "The Dark Magician is still too weak to stand up to that giant lizard!"
Commander Laura began to laugh at how foolish her opponent was appearing to be right now.
"So you've lost it, have you?" she asked. "Your Dark Magician nowhere near powerful enough to defeat my Lizard King. Are you that desperate to join us after all?"
"I won't be joining your group anytime soon." Thomas replied, holding up his final card. "I now play Magical Hats!"
On cue, four large striped hats popped out of the card and scattered around, causing the Dark Magician to disappear.
"Huh?" Commander Laura looked around in confusion. "Where is it?"
"He is concealed under one of the hats." explained Thomas. "So you'll have to guess which hat my Dark Magician is under in order to destroy him. But if you miss, then I get another chance to make a comeback. I will defeat you and save Emily. I swear by it."
The female pirate commander scowled, but then closed her eyes and smiled sinisterly.
"If that's the case, so be it." Commander Laura then opened her eyes. "I'll just take down your hats one-by-one!" She drew her card. "My turn!"
Turn Twelve: Laura (LP: 1600)
Deck: (27)
Current Hand (1): Queen Serpentine
Immediately, the female pirate commander's life points took a hit as she entered her battle phase (LP: 800).
"I'll pay half my life points so my Lizard King can attack! Attack the hat on the right, now!"
Escargoon obeyed, letting loose another blast of toxic breath at the hat. An explosion filled the whole harbor. Commander Laura snickered wickedly as she thought she won. But as the dust cleared, the hat she attacked was revealed to be...empty. Commander Laura scowled at her failed attack.
Thomas chuckled. "Looks like you've wasted life points and an attack."
The Tidmouth Teens cheered with relief.
"So what?!" Commander Laura growled in frustration. "You've just stalled yourself a turn. But next time, you won't be so lucky!"
"I'm giving you one last chance to redeem yourself, Laura." said Thomas firmly. "Let Emily go. You don't have to kill her if I lose. I can't live without her!"
"I don't care! I wanna make everyone in this whole world suffer!" The female pirate commander ranted. "No one knows how much I myself suffered after I lost my job and pretty much my whole life!"
"You're right." agreed the blue-haired boy, closing his eyes. "I probably don't know how badly you've suffered, and I'm sorry that it happened to you. But you don't have to be the bad guy, Laura. Killing innocent people just to make others suffer won't make it all better. It will only make things even worse for you."
"You're wrong! It does make me feel better!"
"I see... then it looks like I'll have to show you the consequences for your actions!" Thomas then drew his card.
Turn Thirteen: Thomas Billinton
Deck: (22)
Current Hand (1): Rope of Life
The blue-haired boy grimaced. "A useless card." He looke over to his opponent. "I'll end my turn."
"Looks like you're running out of options." grinned Commander Laura, drawing her card.
Turn Fourteen: Laura (LP: 800)
Deck: (26)
Current Hand (2): Queen Serpentine and De-Fusion
"And one more time! I give up half of my life points to attack another of your hats! This time on the far left."
Escargoon obeyed, letting loose another blast of toxic breath at the hat. But like last time, the hat was empty.
"Grrr!" snarled Commander Laura (LP: 400). "Another wasted turn!"
"My move!" Thomas announced, drawing his card.
Turn Fifteen: Thomas Billinton (LP: 500)
Deck: (21)
Current Hand (2): Rope of Life and Emergency Provisions
"At least I can do something about my life points." Thomas sighed to himself, holding up the card he drew. "I'll place a card facedown."
A facedown card materialized, followed by the materializing of a Spell card called Emergency Provisions.
"Next I'll play the Spell card Emergency Provisions! Now by giving up a Spell or Trap card on my field, I'll gain 1000 life points!"
Thomas's facedown card vanished, and the blue-haired boy recovered some life points (LP: 1500).
"At least Thomas is in the lead now." said James.
Back at the duel...
"I end my turn." Thomas concluded.
"My turn! announced Commander Laura, drawing.
Turn Sixteen: Laura (LP: 400)
Deck: (25)
Current Hand (3): Queen Serpentine, De-Fusion, and Dian Keto the Cure Master
Looking at what she drew, the female pirate commander smiled slightly.
"Just like you, I'll also reinforce my life points." She inserted a card into an empty Spell/Trap slot on her Duel Disk. "I play the Spell card Dian Keto the Cure Master!"
The spell materialized and a shower of light came down upon Commander Laura, increasing her life points (LP: 1400).
"Much better." she sighed, before her aggression returned. The female pirate commander's life points dropped by half as she entered her battle phase (LP: 700). "Now again! My lizard shall attack the hat on the far right!"
Escargoon fired a third blast of toxic breath at the hat. But like last two, this hat was empty. Unfortunately, now that three empty hats were destroyed, the Dark Magician was forced out of hiding.
"That's not good." Gordon mumbled.
"Now there's nothing left to protect Thomas's Dark Magician from an attack!" added Toby.
"Well, boy, it's been fun." Commander Laura laughed. "But on my next turn, I'll finish you off! Not only will you make a fine member of Sailor John's crew, but your dear friend, Emily, will sink to the bottom of the ocean!"
Emily finally found her voice.
"You have to keep fighting Thomas!" she cried. "You can do it! I believe in you!"
"We do, too!" came the voices of Gordon, Henry, and James. "There is a way you can beat that she-devil of a witch!"
"Never lose faith in yourself!" came from both Edward and Percy at once.
"You're right." nodded Thomas. "I can beat her." He began his draw. "Heart of the Cards, guide me!"
With that said, the blue-haired boy drew his card, whilst slashing a colourful wave from his deck.
Turn Seventeen: Thomas Billinton (LP: 1500)
Deck: (20)
Current Hand (1): Card of Sanctity
Looking at the drawn card, Thomas smiled to himself.
"Well then." Commander Laura said mockingly. "Did you draw the card you need?"
"As a matter of fact-" began Thomas. "-I did." He held his drawn card out. "I play Card of Sanctity!"
A celestial light brightened the sky, ridding the dark clouds that came from the appearance of Escargoon - King of Lizards.
"What are you doing?!" exclaimed Commander Laura. "What is the meaning of this?!"
"Card of Sanctity allows both players to draw until they each have six cards in their hands." explained Thomas. "This will give me a chance to win this duel."
"Hmph! Only if you draw what you need." retorted Commander Laura, while drawing four cards from her deck.
Thomas drew his six cards. He drew Kuriboh, Necromancy, Black Magic Ritual, Diffusion Wave-Motion, Mirror Force, and Magician of Black Chaos. Smiling, the blue-haired boy took his Kuriboh card.
"And for my first part of my move, I'll summon Kuriboh in attack mode!" He laid the card onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
Appearing before them next to Dark Magician was a small little furry monster with green stumps for limbs (Level: 1/ATK: 300/DEF: 200). This only caused Commander Laura and her pirates to laugh hysterically. The Tidmouth Teens (as well as Mavis, but except Discord) all sweatdropped at what Thomas just summoned.
"Did he do that on purpose?" asked James deadpanly. "If so, then I never bought an Elemental HERO deck."
Discord kept his expression neutral. "That's it, Thomas. The first step in winning this duel."
"My, oh my!" Commander Laura snorted between laughs. "If that's your move, then I guess I win!"
"Don't be so sure!" Thomas's voice interrupted.
The female pirate commander stopped laughing. "Huh?"
"Like you before." Thomas continued, now holding up a card in his right hand. "Now I will go and play a Ritual Spell card." With that said, he held out the card. "Black Magic Ritual!"
"Oh no!"
The mentioned Ritual Spell card materialized and brought forth a large circle with magic symbols between two bronze torches.
"To invoke the effect of my Spell card, I must make a double offering." Thomas explained. "The offering's star levels must equal eight or higher!" He then pointed towards his only two monsters. "And so, I'll offer up both my Kuriboh and Dark Magician!"
The torches lightened themselves on fire; purple fire, that is. From there, Thomas began to do a summon chant of his own.
"Become the wind that bears this ceremony, my honorable sacrifices!"
Dark Magician and Kuriboh turned to purple smoke and disappeared into the magic circle.
"The heir to chaos, born from the deep darkness... And now, show your true form before us!" Thomas continued to chant with his eyes closed, but then suddenly opened them fiercely. "RITUAL SUMMON!" He raised his monster card in his right hand high up in the air before slamming it onto his Duel Disk. "Come forth - Magician of Black Chaos!"
With the offering appeased, the magic circle began to glow as a figure arose from it.
"W-What is that?" asked Commander Laura, sounding frightened.
Similarly, the Tidmouth Teens were also looking scared.
"Is that...the Dark Magician?" asked James.
"No." Edward replied, looking surprised. "It's a...whole new monster."
The figure was revealed to be a blue skinned magician wearing almost all black clothing, long black hair, and a black hat with red rims (Level: 8/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2600). The whole band of pirates watched this and grew terrified at the sight of the new monster.
"Let's get out of here!" one pirate cried in panic.
The band of pirates started to escape, leaving only Commander Laura and one pirate actually brave enough to stay and watch the duel (the one with the box and red button).
"Fools! Get back here!" shouted the female pirate commander angrily.
But it was no use. Commander Laura turned back towards Thomas...who's Magician of Black Chaos was glaring rather darkly.
"You may have yourself a powerful monster." Commander Laura said hotly. "But even he's no match for my Escargoon."
"That can easily change." retorted Thomas, slotting another card into a Spell/Trap slot. "I activate Necromancy!"
Commander Laura suddenly felt a light coming from her graveyard.
"W-What are you?!" she cried out in shock. "UGH!"
Four souls emerged from Commander Laura's graveyard and appeared as monsters on her side of the field. They were Regina - Princess of Reptiles, Queen Serpentine, Card Ejector, and Lagula - Prince of Reptiles. All of which were in defense mode.
"Why are four monsters summoned onto my side of the field?!"
"Necromancy allows me to summon up to four monsters from your graveyard to your side of the field in defense mode." explained Thomas. "And for every one that gets destroyed, your Lizard King loses 600 attack points until the end of this turn."
"Too bad you can only make one attack per turn." rebuffed Commander Laura. "And by then, I'll be able to destroy your Magician of Black Chaos and win the duel!"
"This duel is over, actually." Thomas pointed out.
"You lie!"
"Tell that to my final card!" snapped the blue-haired boy, inserting one final card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. "Diffusion Wave-Motion!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up. Suddenly, the Magician of Black Chaos's scepter started crackling with electricity.
"What's going on?" Commander Laura asked, nervous on what was happening.
"By giving up 1000 of my life points-" explained Thomas, taking a 1000 life point hit (LP: 500). "-Magician of Black Chaos can proceed to attack every single monster you have on your side of the field." He then narrowed his eyes fiercely and clenched his right hand into a fist before entering the battle phase. "Attack now, Magician of Black Chaos! Take down all of my opponent's monsters with Chaos Scepter Blast!"
Magician of Black Chaos obeyed, twirling his crackling scepter a few times before motioning it forth and unleashing an almighty blast. The blast was so strong that it destroyed all but one of Commander Laura's monsters at once. The four summoned monsters were the first to be destroyed by the blast. The effect of Necromancy then activated and weakened the Escargoon - King of Lizards' attack points considerably by 2400 points (ATK: 3500 - 1100). One final shockwave ripple then came and tore through the Lizard King and destroyed him. Commander Laura stared on in silence for a few seconds before her crazed look returned as she pressed both her hands to the sides of her head and let out a scream of rage and horror (LP: 0).
DUEL RESULTS: Thomas Billinton wins!
"Commander Laura!" cried the only pirate remaining.
The holograms disappeared as the Tidmouth Teens all cheered for Thomas's victory.
"He did it!" cried Mavis happily. "Thomas won!"
Discord smiled. "That boy never ceases to amaze me."
Commander Laura fell to her knees in disbelief over losing the duel.
"How could I, Commander Laura, have lost?" she muttered to herself.
"You lost because you underestimated me." said Thomas firmly, walking forward to is defeated opponent. "Now keep your end of the deal and set Emily free!"
But Commander Laura, now blinded by rage, looked up at Thomas seething and with hatred in her eyes.
"No..." The female pirate commander whispered, and then looked to her pirate minion. "Sink the girl, now!"
The pirate recovered from his shock and grinned evilly, automatically pressing the red button on the control box.
"No!" cried out the Tidmouth Teens.
"You agreed to set her free if I won!" objected Thomas.
"If I can't have you, then neither can she!" cackled Commander Laura insanely.
It was then, the crane started to quickly lower its cargo (in this case, Emily) to the water below.
"THOMAS!" Emily screamed.
Finally, the cargo hit the water below. Thomas ran over to the edge of the dock and watch in horror.
"EMILY!" The blue-haired boy cried out.
Wasting no more time, he tossed his Duel Disk over to his friends and dove in after Emily.
"Thomas, no!" cried Percy.
All of a sudden, there were police sirens echoing outside the harbor. On cue, two or three police cars pulled into the area.
"The police!" Gordon exclaimed.
"How did they know where we were?" asked Henry.
Commander Laura and her only pirate minion both spotted the cars.
"Let's get out of here!"
Gordon, Henry, and James only looked to each other and nodded. Without being asked what they were doing, the three older boys rushed forth.
"H-Hey, what are you three doing?" called Edward.
"Making those creeps pay for trying to kill our friends!" answered Gordon.
Commander Laura and the pirate both tried to escape...but they were met by three very angry looking teenage boys.
"End of the line!" James sneered.
"Nobody messes with our friends and gets away with it!" snapped Henry, punching out the male pirate.
The male pirate fell down and unconscious.
"You wouldn't hit a lady, would you?" Commander Laura asked James in a flirty tone.
Now normally, James would have easily been seduced by that pretty lady... but not now! After she tried to kill his friends, the red-haired boy would have none of that.
"No, I wouldn't." confirmed James sternly, but then smirked. "But Gordon here will keep you held down for the police to arrest you."
All of a sudden, Gordon appeared behind Commander Laura and took the female pirate commander by her hands. With James's help, the two boys both managed to pin her down to her knees.
"C-Curse you..." Command Laura mumbled in pain.
"Former Professor Laura." said a female police officer approaching. "You are under arrest for kidnap and attempted murder."
"I had a good reason to do it!" argued Commander Laura.
"Tell it to the judge, you sadistic freak!" retorted a male police officer firmly.
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile, underwater, Thomas was still swimming to try and catch up to Emily. The anchor fell pretty fast, so Emily had a decent head start.
"Emily..." Thomas thought to himself. "I'll save you. I swear it!"
"Please hurry, Thomas..." thought Emily, feeling like she was about to lose her remaining air.
At last, Thomas was able to catch up to Emily and began untying her ropes. Unfortunately, the ropes were too tight to untie, so Thomas dug into his pocket and pulled out a switchblade. Using it, he was able to quickly cut the ropes and free his friend.
(elsewhere...)
Outside the water, the rest of the teenagers (as well as Discord) all waited by the dock's edge for any sign of someone coming up.
"See anything, Edward?" asked Toby, worriedly.
"Not yet." Edward answered direly, taking his glasses off. "I'm going in after them!"
Suddenly, Mavis saw some bubbles forming in the water.
"Look!"
Within seconds, Thomas and Emily came exploding to the surface gasping for air.
"Thomas! Emily!" cried Percy.
"Quickly, pull them out!" Discord ordered.
A few policemen helped the two teenagers out of the water and gave them some blankets. Toby looked to one of the police officers.
"Sir, how did you know we were here?" The brown-haired boy asked politely.
"We found a number of 'her' accomplices running by us a few minutes ago." One officer explained grimly. "We had a feeling something was wrong, so...here we are."
Thomas and Emily looked and saw Commander Laura and the remaining pirate being hauled into a police van.
"Congratulations." The female pirate commander said sarcastically. "You've won. But don't think that this means the end of my band. There are far stronger pirates out there! You will-"
"You have the right to remain silent!" snapped one police officer, pushing Commander Laura into the car.
Emily was now shivering, obviously cold from being in the waters for quite some time.
"Here." said Thomas, getting under the blanket with the dark green-haird girl and holding her. "This should help."
"T-t-thank y-you, Thomas." Emily whispered with a shiver. "Y-y-you s-saved m-m-my life."
"Anytime." The blue-haired boy said kindly. "It would kill me if I lost you forever."
At the request of Discord, the policemen brought the two some soup and hot chocolate to help warm them.
"Will you two kids be okay?" asked one of the policemen.
"We will, sir." Thomas nodded. "Thank you."
It was then the rest of the Tidmouth Teens (as well as Mavis) all joined their two friends.
"Thank goodness you both are not hurt." Mavis said with relief.
"We thought you would have drown." added Toby.
"Not a chance." Thomas rebuffed, but not arrogantly. "If a life, especially for a friend, is ever in grave danger, then nothing will stop me from rescuing him or her."
"I'd suggest taking a break from the tournament for the rest of the day." Discord suggested. "That duel really must've taken much out of you, Thomas-boy."
"It was worth it to keep Emily."
Discord raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" He then smiled cheekily and spoke in mock-drama. "Does this mean you are finally ready to confess your undying love for her, Thomas-boy?"
Thomas's face blushed bright red as he began to stutter gibberish.
"I'm guessing that'd be no." Gordon snickered.
As the gang shared a harmless laugh, Emily blushed too, and under her blanket...she briefly took the blue-haired boy by his hand. As she did that, the dark green-haired girl stared lovingly at Thomas.
"He really does love me." she thought happily.
At that point, Discord turned to leave. "It's time I headed back to my mansion. Best of luck to you all."
"Thanks for your help in tracking Emily down, Discord." Mavis bowed gratefully.
"Glad to be of assistance." smiled the creator of Duel Monsters, just before walking away.
Once the gang was alone...
"Come on, guys." said Thomas, standing back up. "We'd better return to the hotel."
"I sure could use a nice fancy meal." James stated, his stomach grumbled. "Mainly because we never got to eat lunch!"
"Me neither." agreed Percy. "I'm hungry."
The Tidmouth Teens were just about to leave the harbor, when a new voice suddenly stopped them.
"Well, well, well." said the voice snootily. "If it isn't Billinton, my cousin, and their loser friends. Fancy seeing all of you here."
"That voice..." whispered Henry.
"Not him!" groaned James.
From around the corner stepped none other than Spencer Gresley himself.
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile, somewhere outside the city (Golden Gate Bridge route) and alongside the coast. Inside a cavern, Sailor John had just been notified by one of his pirates of Commander Laura's defeat.
"So, Commander Laura has fallen?" he asked.
"Yes, captain." said the pirate with regret.
Sailor John rested his hands on his desk. "I suppose I had a feeling she would fail me." He didn't look worried the slightest, however. "That boy, Thomas... He is an interesting young lad."
"So, what should we do?" The pirate asked once more.
"I suppose we're going to have to find another plan." replied Sailor John. "Keep surveillance on the boy and his friends. Find out anything more about them."
The pirate bowed. "At once, sir."
As he walked away, Skiff approached his captain to speak with him.
"Thomas must be stronger than we thought."
"Indeed, Skiff." Sailor John agreed. "But with young Spencer now here in America for this tournament, this will make my plans all the more better. With the stakes for him being...quite extreme."
He gestured over to a nearby cage, which contained both of Spencer's parents.
"Let us out of here at once!" demanded Mr. Gresley (Boxford).
"Not a chance." The pirate captain denied coldly, walking over to the two caged adults. "You two are my trump cards in getting your son to hand over Boxford Corp...to me."
"He would never give the company to a selfish thief like you," sneered Mrs. Gresley (Boxford).
"Perhaps not." Sailor John shrugged, but then grinned evilly. "But if he ever wants to see his parents again...he will do exactly as I say if he ever finds out the truth."
He started to slowly laugh...but then it turned into such psychotic laughter that it could perhaps rival Jafar's (from Aladdin) laugh. Needless to say, Mr. and Mrs. Gresley (Boxford) were both quite terrified of hearing that laughter.
