Opening up outside Discord's mansion, Thomas finally had ten star coins again... And it was thanks to the timing arrival of Lady. Lady and Emily had a duel to see if Thomas would get them or not. Emily lost, but Lady revealed she was gonna give the five coins up, anyway. Why? Because the duel was actually done to help give Thomas his confidence back, and to reassure him that he had friends who would look out for him. As in; he's not alone. Either way, the gang had finally arrived at the mansion's main entryway. A man wearing a fancy suit was waiting.
"Are any of you kids here for the finals of Mr. Crawford's tournament?" he grunted.
Thomas, Percy, James, and Lady all raised their right hands up (the one with the gauntlets) showing their ten star coins. The man smiled when he saw the four duelists carrying ten star coins.
"Very well, you may go inside. The first finalist is already inside."
James scowled. "Spencer..." he muttered.
The group of friends walked inside of the mansion. They were ready for whatever came for them; both Spencer and Sailor John.
Title: The Calm before the Finals
Inside the building, everyone was amazed at how clean and fancy the place looked.
"Wow..." breathed Toby.
"And I thought the hotel we stayed at was fancy..." Gordon added pleasantly. "Discord's place could possibly be even fancier."
"If this is a dream, I don't ever wanna wake up." grinned James.
"Welcome, finalists." spoke a voice (male).
The group turned in the direction of the voice.
"Who are you?" asked Thomas.
The voice belonged to a middle-aged man (in his fifties) also wearing a business suit. His hair way cyan with gray streaks.
"Mr. Crawford has been expecting you." The man said calmly. "I'm his faithful butler. Now, if you will all follow me, I'll take you to the dining hall."
"Sweet deal." nodded Gordon. "I was just getting hungry."
"Me too." agreed James.
(elsewhere...)
Inside the dining hall, Spencer was seated at a table calmly eating his already prepared meal. As he ate, his thoughts echoed throughout his head.
"Mom, Dad." Spencer thought to himself. "I will save you from Discord. And no one will be able to stop me from doing so."
Suddenly, he looked up and saw Thomas's group lead in by the butler.
"What?!"
Thomas was the first to see Spencer.
"Hi, Spencer." he greeted politely.
"Billinton?" asked Spencer. "How did you get in? I took five of your star coins so that I could get in."
Lady stepped forth. An angry look had crossed her face.
"If you must know, it was I who gave Thomas his five star coins." The beautiful blonde-haired girl pointed out. "And you should be ashamed of yourself for threatening to commit suicide if you were to lose against him!"
"And who might you be?" Spencer asked harshly, not sounding intimidated the slightest.
"I'm Lady Stone. A good friend of Thomas and his crew."
"And what does make you? His girlfriend?" Spencer snarked.
Emily seemed to get fired up when she heard the word 'girlfriend' said by the silver-haired boy.
"You watch your mouth!" snapped Lady. "After that stunt you pulled, you don't deserve to call yourself a duelist!"
"I had no other choice!" Spencer snapped back. "Discord is holding my Mother and Father captive, and I must rescue them!"
"How many times do we have to tell you?" argued James. "Discord didn't kidnap them! Sailor John did!"
"Rubbish! There's no such thing as pirates!"
"Yes, there is!" exclaimed Gordon.
"Oh dear, is there a problem here?" spoke a new voice (male).
The arguing stopped. Walking into the dining hall was Discord himself smiling.
"Discord!" exclaimed Thomas, Edward, and Percy at once.
"Welcome, my friends." Discord greeted in a friendly tone, but his excitement escalated the moment he saw Spencer. "Spencer-boy, my old friend! How are you?"
"Don't you dare try that on me, Discord!" shouted Spencer, sitting up from his seat in anger. "I know all about your little game... You've kidnapped my parents to take over Boxford Corp, and I've come to save them!"
Discord was genuinely surprised. "W-What? What are you talking about?"
"So talk!" Spencer continued. "Why do you want to take over my family's company? Is it because you and all of Industrial Illusions were jealous of our success? Was the agreement for our companies to work together not good enough for you?! Tell me why, NOW!"
"I would never do such a thing." objected Discord. "Your parents and I were good friends."
"Sailor John did it!" explained Thomas. "He kidnapped them and framed you for it, Discord."
Fed up with the talk of pirates, Spencer left a check on his table and stood up.
"I've had enough of this pirate nonsense." he growled. "I'll see you all when the finals begin. And rest assure, Discord, I will make you pay for all that you've done!"
Without another word, the silver-haired boy walked away in a huff.
"That went well." Gordon said sarcastically.
"No kidding." Emily agreed.
Discord, while he seemed a little hurt by Spencer's accusations, couldn't help but just smile.
"Huh? Why are you smiling, Discord?" asked Mavis, looking surprised.
"Oh, it's just Spencer-boy has always been this thick headed." said Discord cheerfully. "But once all of this is over, he'll finally learn the truth about Sailor John and be eating crow."
"No doubt he will." James folded his arms. "And when that happens, I'm gonna laugh in his very face."
"Anyway, I'm very happy to see that you all made it." The jolly man stated. "Is anyone hungry? The meal is on me."
"Sounds great." smiled Toby. "I'm starved."
And everyone agreed to that.
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile, outside the mansion and down the hill, a car had pulled up. Getting out of the said car...was Sailor John.
"I've finally arrived." The pirate leader smirked wickedly. "Time to go and visit my...old friend."
Sailor John walked up to the stone stairs until he reached the door. Once he reached the door, he knocked. The door opened, revealing one of the suits.
"Yes?"
Sailor John politely showed the man his duelling glove, which contained ten star coins.
"Are you here for the finals?" The man asked immediately.
"Yes, I am." said Sailor John.
"Very well." nodded the suit, opening the door fully. "Right this way."
He lead the pirate leader inside the mansion.
"Mr. Crawford will be making an announcement this afternoon. From what I heard about, there are five additional finalists."
"Oh?" Sailor John raised an eyebrow curiously. "Who might they be?"
"Spencer Gresley, Thomas Billinton, Percy Avonside, James Hughes, and Lady Stone."
Sailor John looked clearly angered to hear that Thomas was a finalist too.
"How can that be?!" he thought to himself. "I thought Spencer defeated him?! BAH! No matter... Once I get rid of Spencer, Thomas will be next on my list of people to eliminate on my way to Discord."
At last, they made it to the dinning area. Inside, everyone was enjoying the food brought to them.
"Mr Crawford, sir." The suit called out, grabbing Discord's attention. "Our final finalist has arrived."
Discord sat up, looking pretty happy to see who it was.
"Wonderful!" he cried joyfully, walking over to the finalist. "Welcome! And who might you be?"
"I'm pretty sure you remember me, Discord." said Sailor John smoothly. "Does the name Sailor John ring a bell?"
Discord froze in his spot. His eyes widened with shock. It...really was his old friend from years ago. But how was this possible?
"It...can't be." The creator of Duel Monsters whispered. His shocked expression soon evolved into one of anger. "Why are you here?! Wasn't your band of pirates enough or anything?"
"On the contrary-" shrugged Sailor John. "-there is still much to do before I can accomplish my goal."
"We can probably guess what it is." James retorted. "But to humor me, would you mind telling?"
"Start with why you've been obsessed with getting me eliminated from the tournament." demanded Thomas. "And why you won't leave us alone."
"It should be obvious." Sailor John replied. "When my spies first saw you win your first two duels of the tournament, I figured you would be a perfect addition to my ranks. So I've sent Commander Laura to 'persuade' you into joining. But when you refused and defeated her, I made it my goal to eliminate you and your friends. No matter the cost."
"Well, you've still failed in that." retorted Gordon. "Your pirates all got arrested for what they have done. And why'd you kidnap my Aunt and Uncle?"
"Again, it's obvious." continued Sailor John. "Because I want them to turn their company over to me."
"What do you want with Boxford Corporation?" asked Discord.
"With their technology, it will make it easier for me to translate the Egyptian carvings. Then untold wealth and glory will be mine!"
Discord was shocked and outraged. "John, have you gone mad?! Do you remember the warning that Shadi gave us years ago?"
"You still believe that looney guy?" Sailor John scoffed dismissively. "No matter what, I will discover the secrets to the carvings. The world WILL be mine!"
"Not while we're around!" protested Thomas. "You'll never get away with this!"
"In fact, I should just disqualify you here and now." Discord pointed forth. "For all of the wrong doings you've committed in my tournament!"
Sailor John merely closed his eyes and smirked.
"Go ahead." he said quietly. "Disqualify me if you want."
Discord raised an eyebrow. Sailor John was gonna surrender just like that? There had to be a huge catch.
"What are you up to?" demanded Discord, not trusting his old friend one bit.
"Oh, nothing." Sailor John answered innocently. "Except that if you do disqualify me, I will expose you as a crazed lunatic to the whole world!"
"What?!" cried Discord, reeling back. "How would you do that?"
"I'll tell everyone that the pirate invasion was your idea and that you kidnapped Spencer's parents to have Boxford Corporation all to yourself."
"That's a lie!" shouted Thomas.
"Yeah! Discord's a nice, caring man!" Percy agreed. "He would never do something like that for his own amusement and gain!"
"Perhaps." shrugged Sailor John. "But the general public doesn't know that. And thus, can be easily manipulated. Either way, Discord's reputation and empire...would collapse."
"You're a sick man!" shouted Emily.
Sailor John snickered quietly...before it erupted into loud, insane laughter.
"Me? Sick?" he laughed. "I'm only after the future!"
"All you care about is ruining it for everybody!" argued Discord. "Now where are both Mr. and Mrs. Gresley?"
"Now where would the fun be if I told you straight away?" Sailor John asked mockingly.
"What?!" raged Gordon. "You'll tell me where my Aunt and Uncle are, this minute!"
"Temper, temper!" teased Sailor John further.
Gordon wanted to lunge at Sailor John and punch him hard for what he was saying... but someone quickly beat him to the punch. Suddenly, Sailor John felt someone grab him back the collar of his jacket, turn him around, and quickly met a fist to the face. The pirate leader flew forth and fell down to the ground near the gang and Discord.
"GAH!" cried Sailor John, holding his face. "Who-?!"
"Who did that?" asked Emily.
"I did!" shouted a familiar voice (male).
Standing before Sailor John was none other than...
"SPENCER?!" The whole room cried out.
"Y-You..." grumbled Sailor John in pain.
"So Thomas and his friends were right." snarled Spencer. There was seething anger in his voice as he walked over and once again lifted Sailor John up by his coat collar. "Discord really is innocent in all this! YOU'RE the one who kidnapped my parents, Sailor John... For that, I'll make you pay!"
"Heh..." Sailor John scoffed. "Like you're the one to talk. I was the one who manipulated you to come to this tournament in the first place, as well as to try and take Thomas out."
"SHUT UP!" roared Spencer, throwing Sailor John into a bunch of tables, destroying them on contact.
Everyone was shocked at Spencer's outrage.
"Spencer! Calm down!" exclaimed Gordon, running over to his cousin. "Anger isn't going to get our relatives released!"
"Then what do you suggest we do?!" asked Spencer. "Just stand here and let this man ruin innocent lives?!"
Discord spoke up. "We'll let him stay in the tournament."
"What?!" shouted both Gresleys.
"How can you let him stay after all he's done?" asked Thomas.
"The only way we'll be able to derail his plans for good is if we can defeat him." answered Discord. "I don't like it as much as any of you don't like it, but it's the only logical way."
"Quite right." Sailor John agreed. "If any one of you finalists defeats me in an official tournament match, I'll surrender everything I've worked hard on and to obtain... including both of Spencer's parents."
"You'd better not go back on your word." said Spencer severely.
"Oh, I'm not too worried about that." Sailor John smugly snickered. "After all, you all may have defeated some of my best commanders at one point, but they were simple to beat compared to how strong I am."
"But I was able to beat one of them who wielded Exodia."
"EXODIA?!" exclaimed the Tidmouth Teens.
"Isn't that easily the most powerful monster in the game?" asked Mavis. "Where you need the five key cards in your hand in order to summon it?"
"Yes." Spencer confirmed.
"HA! Leon was simple compared to me!" Sailor John boasted. "But perhaps I've said too much now." He looked over to Discord. "So, didn't you have something you wanted to tell everyone?"
Discord then remembered his little announcement.
"Why yes." The crator of Duel Monsters finally said. "I remember."
He reached into his suit jacket pocket and pulled out an envelope and opened it up.
"I will be passing out these numbers to all of the competing finalists." Discord announced. "And then I will have my butler do a draw on the numbers. The two selected numbers will mean those two duelists will face off tomorrow."
He handed out numbers on slips of paper to each of the six competing finalists. Thomas received 1, Percy received 6, James received 5, Lady received 8, Sailor John received 11, and Spencer received 7.
"Now that you all have a number-" Discord stated, looking to his butler. "-we will draw the first number from the bowl." He spoke to his butler. "If you may, please."
"Yes, sir." obeyed the butler. He reached into the bowl and pulled out the first number. "Our first number is..."
It was 11. Sailor John merely smirked to himself. Everyone only looked at him, wondering who would get a shot at him. Finally, the butler drew another number. It was...7.
Everyone (except Discord, the butler, Sailor John, and Spencer) all gasped in surprise.
"Tomorrow's match will be Sailor John against Spencer Gresley." announced the butler.
Sailor John's smirk widened a bit. All he had to do was defeat Spencer, and then Boxford Corp would become his. This was all just too easy. Spencer, on the other hand, only glared seething at the evil man.
"It's payback time." he muttered dangerously.
Discord then spoke up. "Now then, until tomorrow comes, I'll have some of my men show you to your rooms. Afterward, you're all very much free to explore the place and/or train up."
With that said, three men wearing business suits walked into the dinning hall.
"Follow us." said one of the suits.
(elsewhere...)
Ten minutes later, everyone was shown to their guest rooms. However, once Thomas was brought to his room, the suit spoke to him.
"Mr. Billinton-" he began. "-Mr. Crawford would like to see both you and Mr. Gresley at once in his private quarters."
"Of course." nodded Thomas. "I'll be there."
Meanwhile, now that everyone else was settled in, they went to do some exploring of the building and/or check out the swimming pool.
(elsewhere...)
In one part of the mansion, Edward, Henry, Lily, and Lady were all looking at some of the paintings down a hallway.
"Boy, Discord sure knows how to paint." Henry commented.
"These are incredible." admired Edward.
"I've always wondered where he learned to paint so...beautifully." Lily stated.
"Maybe we can ask him a little later over dinner." Lady suggested.
Everyone agreed to that.
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile, with Percy and Patch in another part of the mansion. Both boys (but mainly Patch) had a mischievous look on their faces. They looked to each other for a second and gave a nod.
(elsewhere...)
Outside near the big swimming pool, Emily and Mavis were both in their swimsuits (Emerald green two-piece swimsuit for Emily, and yellow and black bikini for Mavis) lying on lounge chairs with metallic plates in their arms and aiming some of the rays at themselves... It was clear as daylight they were relaxing and getting a tan.
"This is the life. Right, Emily?" Mavis tilt her head over and looked over to her best friend, smiling.
"You said it." agreed Emily, smiling also as she soaked up the rays too.
Unknown to both girls, two boys were tiptoeing towards them from behind. They laid on their backs and sneaked under the chairs. Patch went under Mavis's chair, and Percy went under Emily's chair. Emily and Mavis were both so relaxed that they didn't even hear or pay any attention. Suddenly, a pair of hands from underneath both chairs were brought up until they were braced onto the two girls' exposed tummies.
"Tickle, tickle, tickle!" chanted a pair of cheeky voices (male), as they began tickling the two girls by their tummies (which again, were very sensitive to the touch).
"Ah!" cried the two girls (Mavis and Emily), as they blushed from feeling the ticklish sensation, dropped their respective metallic plate onto their laps, and began laughing.
Some quiet snickers came from under the lounge chairs as the two boys continued tickling Mavis and Emily for a good five minutes. The two pretty girls were laughing and flailing about so much that the lounge chairs they were lying on had their legs began to give in... and they soon collapsed. This caused the chairs to fall and crush the two boys, causing them to stop with the tickling. Seeing as they weren't being tickled anymore, this allowed Mavis and Emily to both catch their breath.
"That's better." sighed Emily.
"Sheesh!" Mavis yelled. She sounded irritated. "What is this? 'Tickle Mavis day'?!"
"Umm, help?" came a muffled groan.
The two girls got up and lifted the broken lounge chairs up off of whoever was crushed underneath. Once the chairs were nearby, Emily and Mavis were both very annoyed to find...
"PERCY AND PATCH!"
The two cheeky boys chuckled nervously at the two angry girls.
"We're in a lot of trouble, aren't we?" asked Percy, trying to smile-but was nervous.
The green-haired boy got no answer. Why? Because in just ten short seconds, Patch and Percy both screamed as they were sent flying into the swimming pool.
"That's better." smiled Emily, brushing her hands together in satisfaction.
"Too bad our tummies are all pink now." Mavis complained, looking down at her tummy and navel.
Emily placed a hand onto her best friend's back. "Never mind. At least we taught Percy and Patch both a lesson they'll never forget."
The two girls walked back into the mansion.
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile... Back inside the building, Thomas made his way down the hall towards Discord's private quarters.
"I wonder why Discord wants to see me and Spencer." he thought to himself.
Once the blue-haired boy and the suited man arrived at Discord's quarters, the man knocked on the door.
"Mr. Crawford, I've brought Mr. Billinton as you've requested."
"Bring him in." came Discord's voice.
The door opened and Thomas and the man walked inside the room. Discord and Spencer were both waiting.
"Took you long enough, Billinton." Spencer commented.
Thomas ignored Spencer's remark. "You sent for us, Discord?" he asked.
"Yes, my boy." Discord nodded, getting down to business. "I've called you both here, because I must warn you about Sailor John."
"What's there to warn about him?" asked Spencer. "We already know what he plans."
"I've had my security team spy on him in his room with the video cameras. I'm positive he's up to something, and it might involve the duel tomorrow."
"What could he be planning?" Thomas wondered.
"Who cares?!" Spencer snapped. "He's the only one who knows where my parents are! And I will force that information out of him one way or another."
"Calm down, Spencer-boy." warned Discord.
Spencer reluctantly obeyed, allowing the jolly man to resume speaking.
"Anyway. In the end, only both of you are strong enough to stop Sailor John."
"We'll do our best, sir." nodded Thomas.
"We?" Spencer scoffed. "In case you've forgotten, I'm the one who's going to be facing him tomorrow, and I don't need anyone's help."
"I know, Spencer-boy." Discord spoke up. "But you need to listen to me. Facing Sailor John alone without-"
"I can take care of myself." insisted Spencer, interrupting the jolly man. "After all, I'm the one who got to beat Exodia. So defeating him will be a piece of cake." With that said, he turned to leave. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a match to prepare for."
He walked away importantly. Thomas merely shook his head.
"That Spencer is so stubborn."
"Indeed." sighed Discord.
"So, what should I do if Spencer fails to win against him?" Thomas asked, looking worried.
Discord stared long and hard. "Thomas-boy, if Spencer-boy fails to win against Sailor John... you'll be the only one left who can succeed. That is, if you can make it through the remaining rounds of the tournament."
"But won't my friends be able to stop him?" questioned Thomas. "They're strong duelists too."
Unfortunately, Discord shook his head, much to the blue-haired boy's dismay.
"No." The creator of Duel Monsters said seriously. "While I commend on their skills, they won't be enough."
"Oh..." Thomas sighed gloomily.
Discord gave another sigh. This one seemed heavier though.
"Thomas Billinton..." he finally said. "It's time you've learned the truth...about your deck."
Thomas was now more puzzled. "My deck?"
"Yes." nodded Discord gravely. "You remember when you first picked it up when Duel Monsters finally arrived on the Island of Sodor, right?"
Thomas nodded slowly.
"Well..." Discord went on. "I held onto the Yugi Muto starter set because I felt like it would belong to somebody suitable for its power. And when I went to the Knapford City Mall that day, I saw you at the card shop."
"So, you're the reason I got the Yugi Muto deck?" Thomas gasped in realization. "But how was that possible without anybody seeing you?"
Discord walked over to his dresser and took something off the top. What he was holding was a...golden eyeball of some sort.
"Do you know what this is?" he asked.
"No." said Thomas, shaking his head.
"It's a powerful artifact called the Millennium Eye." explained Discord.
"The Millennium Eye?"
Discord pointed to a nearby table containing a deck of Duel Monster cards.
"Do you see that deck on that table?" The jolly man asked once more.
Thomas turned and nodded slowly.
"Now watch."
Thomas paid close attention to Discord's demonstration. The man held the eyeball up and it fired a golden beam from the very center of the eye. The beam struck the deck. Once the beam died down, Discord gestured Thomas to approach and draw a card from the deck. Thomas obeyed, walking to the table and drawing a card from the deck. He was shocked at the card he drew.
"The Dark Magician?!" The blue-haired boy looked back to Discord. "But how-?"
"That's one of the powers of the Millennium Eye." explained Discord. "It can also give one the power to read minds."
"Read minds?"
"Yes, Thomas-boy." Discord nodded, just before grinning cheekily. "Such as that I know you do have a crush on that lovely girl, Emily Sterling."
Thomas blushed in embarrassment. His mind was read successfully, so there was no denying it now.
"Now, now." chuckled Discord. "Don't feel embarrassed about it. Your secret is safe with me."
Thomas felt better. But then the creator of Duel Monsters became very serious.
"This item must never fall into the wrong hands." he went on. "In the wrong hands, it could unleash powers like none we've ever seen before."
"How did you get it?" Thomas asked curiously.
Discord shook his head and put the Millennium Eye back onto his dresser. It would seem he felt it was not time to bring that tale up.
"That's a story best saved for another day."
"Okay." nodded Thomas, who understood his friend's feelings. "Will that be all?"
Before Discord could answer, a knock came at the door.
"Come in." The jolly man called out.
The door opened and another suit walked inside.
"Mr. Crawford and Mr Billinton." The suit was saying. "Dinner will be ready soon. We are expecting you two in the dining hall."
"Very well." Discord nodded, causing the man to close the door. "Well, Thomas-boy, looks like it's time for dinner."
"Great." smiled Thomas. "We'd better get the others."
(elsewhere...)
Down in the main lobby, Edward was surprised to say the least.
"Percy and Patch!" The intelligent, blue-haired boy exclaimed. "What on Earth happened to you two? You're both soaking wet!"
Patch and Percy were both shown to be dripping wet from head-to-toe.
"Emily and Mavis both threw us into the pool." pouted Percy.
"We didn't even do anything bad." lied Patch. "Honestly!"
"Not true!" came the voice of Mavis.
She and Emily were both standing nearby still in their swimsuits, arms folded, looking upset, and their tummies still pink.
"Emily? Mavis?" Edward blinked, who was now deeply puzzled. "What happened? And why are your bellies all pink?"
"Those two troublemakers tickled us." said Mavis angrily. "And it's the second time they did it to me, too!"
"I knew it!" came an angry voice (female). "Percy and Patch, I'm disappointed in both of you!"
That voice belonged to Lady. She walked into the lobby, looking highly displeased.
"Patch, you know Mavis doesn't like it when you do that to her." The beautiful blonde-haired girl scolded. "And Percy, you should know better too!"
The two boys were sweating bullets.
"Patch made me do it!" ratted Percy, pointing accusingly at Patch.
"Liar, liar, pants on fire!" Patch snapped.
The two boys were met with some unhappy stares from Edward, Lady, Emily, and Mavis.
"Sorry." Both Percy and Patch said at last, with their heads hung in shame.
"Do you promise never to play that prank on us ever again?" Emily asked sternly.
"Especially to me?" Mavis added to that.
"We promise." Percy and Patch both said at once, holding their right hands up in a vow.
However, while Percy was being dead serious about it, Patch had secretly crossed his fingers behind his back.
"Well... Now that that's done, you two better go trade your wet clothes for something dryer." Edward said to the two boys, and then he looked to the two girls. "I'm guessing you two are going to go get changed before we go to dinner?"
"Yes." nodded Emily. "Plus we don't want anybody seeing our pink bellies."
"It'd let everyone else know that we're ticklish." Mavis added. "My boyfriend already knows that I'm ticklish, because he was the one who saved me from Patch and Percy when we were at the beach a few days ago."
"Right." The dark green-haired girl nodded in agreement. "So let's go change before anybody else spots us."
(elsewhere...)
Twenty minutes later, everyone, except Sailor John and Spencer, was in the dining hall ready for dinner.
"Glad you all could come." said Discord, smiling. "I hope you're all hungry."
"No doubt!" James grinned. "Lunch was great, but I bet dinner will be even better!"
"Bring it on!" Gordon dared.
Within seconds, dishes of food were brought out.
While everyone else ate, Spencer was in his room preparing his deck for the big match against Sailor John.
"With my unbeatable combos-" he said to himself. "-Sailor John won't stand a chance."
On the table was most of his cards. Along with a few new ones. The cards were D.D. Assailant, D.D. Warrior Lady, Soul Exchange, Kaiser Glider, Different Dimension Dragon, Wish of Final Effort, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Ring of Destruction, Interdimensional Matter Transporter, Vampire Lord, Soul Exchange
"I'm gonna make Sailor John pay for everything he's done." Spencer thought to himself. "Hurting innocent people, kidnapping my own parents, and trying to seize control of my family's company. I WILL defeat him!"
Here's hoping he's right.
(elsewhere...)
Inside Sailor John's room, the evil pirate was talking into a Walkie Talkie to his remaining band in the hideout.
"I duel Spencer Gresley tomorrow." he spoke. "Soon Boxford Corp will be all ours."
"What should we do with the prisoners and the traitor once our mission is accomplished?" spoke the voice of a pirate from the other line.
"Well, we could always use some servants."
The pirate's laughter could be heard on the other line. It was obviously at the thought of having the prisoners as slaves.
"All right, standby for further orders." Sailor John stated.
"At once, sir... Good luck!"
The Walkie Talkie turned off and the pirate captain continued looking at his cards.
"So Spencer thinks I'll be too easy of an opponent, eh?" His look turned incredibly twisted and insane. "But soon he'll realize the terrors of when facing people like me! Boxford Corp will be mine! And I'll discover the secret to those carvings!" Sailor John became even more demented looking. "MY PLAN WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED! AND THE WORLD WILL BECOME MINE, AND ONLY MINE!"
He went into psychotic laughter like no other.
