Opening up inside Discord's mansion. Inside Spencer's room, the silver-haired boy was currently asleep in his bed while Thomas and the others were watching over him. As you can see, Spencer had been defeated and sent into a coma by Sailor John. Thomas, enraged by the pirate leader's actions, vowed to defeat him no matter what.
"Sailor John is going to pay for what he's done." The blue-haired boy said crossly. "I swear it!"
"Yeah." Gordon agreed. "What he did to my cousin was unforgivable."
"What about your Aunt and Uncle?" asked Lady. "What's gonna happen to them?"
"I don't know, but we have to find and save them."
"The only problem is that we have no idea where the pirates' hideout is." Henry pointed out. "And even then, there's another duel coming up soon."
"Well, whoever duels-" said Emily, trying to brighten the moody atmosphere. "-I wish them the best of luck."
She was, of course, referring to Thomas, Percy, James, and Lady.
"So, what do we do now?" Toby asked after a long period of silence.
"I guess wait for the next duel to be called." suggested Percy.
Just before anyone could leave or do anything, a knock came on the door.
"Come in." called Thomas.
The door opened and walking inside was one of Discord's suits.
"Can we help you?" asked James.
"Yes." nodded one of the men. "It's time for the announcement for the next duel. So, if you would all follow us to the duel room."
The suits and the Sudrian teenagers all left Spencer's room, where he continued to sleep.
Title: Dueling Identity, Part 1
Soon, everybody was in the duel room to await the results of the next duel. The first number drawn was...1. Thomas perked up when he saw the number.
"I guess I'm duelling next." he thought to himself. "A duel, no matter who I face, I have to win."
The butler then drew...8.
"It's decided." The butler said aloud. "It will be Thomas Billinton vs. Lady Stone for our next duel."
Thomas looked over to Lady.
"I guess this means we gotta duel each other." Thomas said quickly.
"And I wish you the best of luck, too." agreed Lady. "Let's make this an honourable match."
Lady held out her right hand, and Thomas accepted it. The two teenagers shook hands in agreement. With that said, they both walked over to the arena and activated their Duel Disks.
"Come on, guys!" Lily stated, running off.
The rest of the gang followed her. Everyone soon arrived up on the balcony.
"This should be good." James commented.
Down in the duel field below, Thomas and Lady both drew their opening hands as the duel began (LP: 4000) x2.
"No matter what, I have to win." Thomas thought to himself. "The quicker I get through this duel, the quicker I can be to stop Sailor John."
"Ladies first!" Lady declared.
Turn One: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Cyber Shield, The Unfriendly Amazon, Mirror Wall, Shadow of Eyes, and Dunames Dark Witch
Studying her hand carefully, Lady decided on what to do. She took a card from her hand and held it out for Thomas to see.
"I summon Dunames Dark Witch in attack mode." Lady announced, placing the card onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk.
A female spellcaster with two large white wings appeared (Level: 4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1050).
"A strong monster on your first turn." grimaced Thomas, hoping it to have been a weaker monster.
"Next I place one card facedown and end my turn." finished Lady, sliding a card into a Spell/Trap slot on her Duel Disk. "Your move, Thomas."
"Knowing Lady-" Thomas thought to himself, watching as a facedown card materialized behind the enemy monster. "-that facedown is probably Mirror Wall." He then drew his card without another thought. "Draw!"
Turn Two: Thomas Billinton (LP: 4000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (6): Polymerization, Gaia The Fierce Knight, Big Shield Gardna, Spellbook Organization, Magic Formula, and Fusion Recovery
"Right now, I have nothing strong enough to get through her Dark Witch... So, I'll play defensive for now..."
With that thought, Thomas selected his Big Shield Gardna card from his hand.
"I summon Big Shield Gardna in defense mode." he said, placing the card onto the monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
The usual warrior wielding his usual big shield appeared as commanded so (Level: 4/ATK: 100/DEF: 2600), but was summoned in attack mode instead.
"Why's Big Shield Gardna in attack mode?" asked Mavis. "Didn't Thomas say defense mode?"
Lady smiled as she gestured to her activated Trap card.
"That's because Thomas activated my Trap card." she said, and then spoke to Thomas. "When you summoned your monster in defense mode, you've triggered my Shadow of Eyes card."
"Shadow of Eyes?" asked Emily.
"It's a Trap card that forces male monsters summoned in defense mode into attack mode." explained Edward.
"Smart move." Thomas thought to himself. "Since Big Shield Gardna is male, it was forced into attack mode the minute I summoned it into defense mode."
"You'll have to play a better game than that, Thomas." Lady scolded.
"Cards like that should be illegal." objected Henry. "How else can Thomas defend himself?"
"It's not a Continuous Trap card though." Edward reminded. "So now, it has been used up."
"That's a relief." Percy sighed.
Back in the duel field below...
"I have to defeat you Lady." argued Thomas. "I'm the only one left who can defeat Sailor John."
"I know that." Lady retorted. "But just because you say that doesn't mean that I'm gonna let you win just like that."
She then drew her card.
Turn Three: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (4): Cyber Shield, The Unfriendly Amazon, Mirror Wall, and Shadow of Eyes
"Dark Witch-" Lady called to her monster. "-destroy Big Shield Gardna now!"
Dunames Dark Witch obeyed, firing a ball of magic at Big Shield Gardna. The warrior was struck and destroyed, causing Thomas to grunt as he sustained high battle damage (LP: 2300).
"Thomas lost a large chunk of his life points already!" Emily exclaimed.
"Don't count Thomas out just yet." insisted Percy, sounding confident in his best friend. "He's just getting warmed up."
Back in the duel field below, Lady held up two cards from her hand.
"Before I finish my turn, I'll place these two cards facedown." She slotted them into two separate Spell/Trap slots on her Duel Disk. "My turn has finished!"
Thomas grimaced, watching as two more facedown cards materialized.
"Lady probably has another Shadow of Eyes and a Mirror Wall in waiting." The blue-haired boy thought to himself. "If she understands how important it is for me to defeat Sailor John, then why is she so determined to stop me?"
Without anymore thinking, Thomas drew a card.
Turn Four: Thomas Billinton (LP: 2300)
Deck: (33)
Current Hand (6): Polymerization, Gaia The Fierce Knight, Spellbook Organization, Magic Formula, Fusion Recovery, and Curse of Dragon
Recklessly, he took and held out three cards from his hand.
"Try this on for size, Lady!" Thomas shouted, as his three cards started shining white light. "I play Polymerization and fuse both Curse of Dragon with Gaia The Fierce Knight from my hand!"
The two monsters appeared before fusing.
"Behold!" Thomas held up his right hand dramatically. "Gaia the Dragon Champion!"
The resulting fusion sequence had Gaia The Fierce Knight riding Curse of Dragon like a steed (Level: 7/ATK: 2600/DEF: 2100).
"And my new monster is powerful enough to destroy your Dark Witch!" Thomas stated, completely forgetting all about Lady's facedown cards. "Gaia, attack the Dark Witch, now!"
"No, Thomas! Wait!" called Edward, but was too late.
"I activate my facedown!" announced Lady, poking a button on her Duel Disk. "Mirror Wall!"
The beautiful blonde-haired girl's first facedown card flipped up and revealed itself, creating a large crystallized wall in the process.
"Oh no!" cried Thomas. "Gaia, halt your attack!"
"You're too late, Thomas!" Lady pointed out.
Gaia the Dragon Champion struck the mirror with one of his lances, stopping the attack and dropping his attack power by half (ATK: 2600 - 1300).
"Don't be reckless, Thomas." called Toby. "It'll cost you the duel!"
Thomas got a look of frustration on his face.
"What's the matter with me?" he thought to himself. "Why is Lady getting the best of me like this? She knows I have to face Sailor John." Thomas took a card from his hand and slotted it into his Duel Disk. "I play the Spell card Spellbook Organization!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up on the field.
"This lets me look at the top three cards of my deck and then return them to the top in any order I choose."
Lady nodded. "Go ahead."
Thomas drew the top three cards of his deck and took a look at them; Graceful Charity, Dark Magic Curtain, and Emergency Provisions. Ultimately, Thomas shook his head while placing them back into his deck in the same order.
"I'll keep my three cards in the order they were originally in." The blue-haired boy pointed out.
"What do you think's the matter with Thomas?" asked Emily. "He's never been this reckless in dueling before."
"It's like he doesn't care about dueling Lady and only wants to face-off against Sailor John." added James.
"Can you blame him?" Gordon asked rhetorically.
"But if Lady knows how important it is for Thomas-" said Percy. "-then why's she trying to stop him from facing Sailor John?"
"Because it would be considered cheating if Lady LET Thomas win like that." Edward explained.
"Lady knows that Thomas has to face Sailor John, but she obviously won't go down without a fight." put in Mavis.
Back in the duel field below...
"It's my turn!" declared Lady, drawing a card. "Draw!"
Turn Five: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (33)
Current Hand (3): Cyber Shield, The Unfriendly Amazon, and Triangle Ecstasy Spark
"Dunames Dark Witch, attack Gaia the Dragon Champion!" Lady called out.
Dunames Dark Witch obeyed, firing a ball of magic at Gaia the Dragon Champion, striking and destroying him. The resulting battle caused Thomas to take even more damage (LP: 1800). Lady was frowning around here.
"What's the matter with you, Thomas?" she demanded.
"Huh?" Thomas blinked.
"This isn't like how I know you." The beautiful blonde-haired girl went on. "Instead of playing with your heart and thinking things through, you've been rushing your moves."
"All that matters to me is getting this duel over with so I can face Sailor John." retorted Thomas. "Nothing else matters to me."
"If you play like that, you'll never win against me."
"I WILL win!" Thomas snapped, drawing his card.
Turn Six: Thomas Billinton (LP: 1800)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (3): Magic Formula, Fusion Recovery, and Graceful Charity
"I'll play Graceful Charity!" He held out his drawn card. "Now I draw three cards from my deck, and then discard two."
Thomas drew his three cards, discarding Magic Formula and Berserker Soul both in the process. He now had Dark Magic Curtain, Dark Magic Alchemy(!), and Fusion Recovery added to his hand.
"There's only one monster that can save me now." Thomas thought to himself, as he selected another card from his hand. "I activate Dark Magic Curtain!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up on the field, causing a curtain of some sort to appear from the face-up Dark Magic Curtain Spell card.
"Lady's in trouble now." said Emily, folding her arms.
"By giving up half of my life points-" explained Thomas (LP: 900), "-I can automatically special summon from my deck the Dark Magician!"
The curtain was thrown aside, and there posed Thomas's ace monster (Level: 7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100).
"Since I control a Dark Magician-related monster-" The blue-haired boy went on, taking and holding out a new card. "-I activate Dark Magic Alchemy!"
On cue, the mentioned Spell card materialized face-up.
"Since my life Points are less than 2500, I immediately gain 2500 life points PLUS 500 extra for each Dark Magician-named monster on my side of the field!"
Thomas smiled with relief as he gained 3000 life points. Back on the balcony, the rest of the group was relieved.
"Thomas is almost back to 4000 life points." cheered Percy.
"But he can't attack with Mirror Wall still out." reminded Henry.
Back in the duel field below...
"Since your Mirror Wall is still in play-" said Thomas. "-I won't attack this turn." He then eased up. "My turn...has ended."
"A smart move." Lady commented, drawing her card. "But let's see if it was effective or not."
Turn Seven: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (4): Cyber Shield, The Unfriendly Amazon, Triangle Ecstasy Spark, Graceful Charity
"I think I'll play my own copy of Graceful Charity!" She held her drawn card out. "Now I draw three cards and then discard two."
Lady drew three cards from her deck, before discarding Cyber Shield and The Unfriendly Amazon both to the graveyard (one-by-one). She now had Cyber Harpie Lady, Elegant Egotist, and Cost Down added to her hand.
"Next I summon Cyber Harpie Lady in attack mode." said Lady, placing the card onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk.
The all-familiar Harpie Lady (stronger) appeared on the field (Level: 4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1300).
"You don't think-?" Patch began.
"She is!" added Lily.
"Next I activate Elegant Egotist!" Lady continued, sliding the card into a Spell/Trap slot on her Duel Disk.
Back on the balcony...
"Just like I figured!" exclaimed Lily.
"The same card she used against me!" Emily added.
Back in the duel field below...
"Now say hello to the Harpie Lady Sisters!" announced Lady.
On cue, a Harpie Lady #2 and Harpie Lady #3 joined the Cyber Harpie Lady (Level: 4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1300) x2.
"And if you think that they're not gonna cause you any trouble, think again!" Lady held out one more card. "Behold the Spell card Triangle Ecstasy Spark!"
"What does that do?" asked Mavis.
"It can only be used when Lady controls three Harpie Ladies on her side of the field." Lily explained. "For this turn, all three Harpie Ladies have their attack points capped at 2700. In addition, the opponents' Trap cards cannot be activated, and ones currently in play on their sided have their effects negated."
"You kinda lost me at the attack power becomes 2700 bit." Gordon said deadpanly.
"Looks like Thomas is in trouble again." moaned James.
"Big time." agreed Henry.
Back in the duel field below...
"Harpie Ladies-" commanded Lady, entering the battle phase. "-destroy Dark Magician!"
The Harpies obeyed, forming a huge X through orbs of magic and firing it forth. Dark Magician held his own as best as he could before giving a agonizing yell as he got destroyed.
"Dark Magician!" cried Thomas (LP: 3700).
"You're wide open!" yelled Lady again. "Attack Thomas directly, my Dark Witch!"
Dunames Dark Witch obeyed, firing a ball of magic at Thomas. The poor blue-haired boy cried out as he sustained more battle damage (LP: 1900).
"Thomas!" called out the rest of the Tidmouth Teens.
Watching the duel on the sidelines, Discord became a bit disappointed.
"Thomas-boy, what's the matter with you?" he thought to himself. "Why are you recklessly making a move without thinking straight?"
Back on the field, Thomas was feeling like the presence wanted out again.
"Damn you, Lady..." The blue-haired boy growled. "I won't let you win!"
Lady looked surprised at her friend's anger towards her. "What?"
Suddenly, Thomas realized what he just said. But he was so cross that it didn't stop him from saying more.
"How am I supposed to defeat Sailor John and make him pay for what he's done if you keep ruining all of my moves?" Thomas demanded. The blue-haired boy then pointed an accusing finger at Lady. "If I didn't know better, I'd think it's because you don't WANT me to beat Sailor John! You're protecting him because you're one of his pirates!"
The rest of the teenagers gasped in surprise at Thomas's accusation.
"Thomas?!" cried Emily in shock.
"That's a low blow!" Percy said in disgust. "Even for you!"
"How can you accuse Lady of being a traitor?" asked Henry. "She's our friend!"
"Have you all forgotten what Sailor John has done?" Thomas angrily questioned. "If Lady really is our friend, then why's she so determined to make sure I fail and never get the chance to face Sailor John?"
Lady was rather upset that Thomas would accuse her of being one of Sailor John's pirates.
"Thomas..." she whispered quietly, just as a tear rolled down her cheek. Thomas didn't trust her now due to Sailor John and it really hurt her.
Back on the balcony...
"He's so angry with all that Sailor John has done-" worried Edward. "-that he's not thinking about what he's saying or doing."
"I wish that there's a way to help him see sense." Mavis added.
Back in the duel field below...
"My move!" Thomas shouted, as he drew his card.
Turn Eight: Thomas Billinton (LP: 1900)
Deck: (28)
Current Hand (2): Fusion Recovery and Spell Textbook
His drawn card was a Spell card called Spell Textbook. Immediately, Thomas held it out for his opponent to see.
"I activate the Spell card Spell Textbook!" The blue-haired boy announced, causing the card itself to materialize face-up. "Here's how it works, I discard any card left in my hand to the graveyard, shuffle the deck, and then draw one card. If it's a Spell card, I automatically get to activate it." He sent the last card in his hand to the graveyard. "I discard the final card from my hand to the graveyard." Thomas took his deck out of his Duel Disk, shuffled it, and then slotted it back into the Duel Disk. "Now I will draw my card!"
He placed his first two fingers onto his deck.
"I have to draw the right card to turn this duel around." Thomas thought to himself. "If I fail, then nobody will be able to stop Sailor John."
Slowly, he drew his card. The card drawn...was Card of Sanctity. Smiling, Thomas held his card out.
"Go - Card of Sanctity!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up.
"This allows both players to draw from their decks until they both hold six cards." explained Thomas, drawing six new cards.
Lady simply drew five cards. Thomas's new hand consisted of Watapon, Buster Blader, Dust Tornado, Altar of Restoration, Dark Magical Contact(!), and The Shallow Grave. Just as quickly, Thomas took the card at the edge of his hand on the left.
"Because I've drawn it from using a Spell card, I'll special summon Watapon in defense mode!"
The white little fuzzball appeared on Thomas's side of the field (Level: 1/ATK: 200/DEF: 300).
"Next I'll activate the Spell card The Shallow Grave!" Thomas held out another card. "Now both of us special summon a monster from our graveyards in facedown defense mode!"
A facedown card (sideways) appeared beside Watapon. Lady only gave a sigh of annoyance.
"Again?" she asked, poking a button on her Duel Disk. On cue, her second set card flipped face-up and revealed itself. "You've triggered a second copy of my Shadow of Eyes!"
"Now his monster will be forced into attack mode." panicked Gordon.
Both Watapon and the facedown monster (revealed to be Big Shield Gardna) were forced into attack mode.
"Setting monsters won't help, Thomas." Lady pointed out.
Suddenly, Thomas smirked. "You haven't figured it out yet, have you?"
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't matter that you've forced my monsters into attack mode." The blue-haired boy went on. "I just did that to get you to waste your stupid Trap card just to be on the safe side. Now, I'll sacrifice both Watapon and Big Shield Gardna to tribute summon Buster Blader!"
Watapon and Big Shield Gardna both vanished in blue streaks, and appearing in their place was the dragon slaying warrior himself (Level: 7/ATK: 2600/DEF: 2300).
"But I'm not done there." Thomas held up another card. "I'll activate Altar of Restoration! By banishing the top two cards of my deck, I can add any kind of card from the graveyard to my hand."
After drawing and banishing the top two cards of his deck, another card slid out of Thomas's graveyard.
"And the card I choose to bring back is Polymerization!" continued Thomas, showing it to the others.
Back on the balcony...
"Wait, do you guys know what Thomas is about to do?" asked Henry.
"If it involves Buster Blader and Polymerization, then I got a pretty good idea." Toby figured.
Regardless, they were right about what Thomas was about to do. The blue-haired boy soon held out one of his last cards.
"Now I activate a Spell card called Dark Magical Contact!"
"Dark Magical Contact?" Lady blinked. "What does that do?"
"Easy." Thomas began, taking his deck out of his Duel Disk and taking a card from it. "By sending one Level 4 or lower spellcaster-type monster from my deck to the graveyard, I can add a Level 7 or higher spellcaster from my graveyard back to my hand."
Thomas sent his Skilled Dark Magician monster card to the graveyard, and out came the Dark Magician monster card in exchange.
"Now I add Dark Magician back to my hand." Finally, the blue-haired boy held out his retrieved Polymerization Spell card. "Behold, Lady! I reactivate Polymerization!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized before them.
"With it, I will fuse Dark Magician with Buster Blader!"
Dark Magician appeared next to Buster Blader before the two fused together.
"Behold-" cried Thomas, holding up his hand in a dramatic fashion. "-Dark Paladin!"
The fusion sequence ended, just before erupting into a burst of light. Once the light faded, the light blue skinned version of the Dark Magician wielding a sword-like scepter leaped forth into battle (Level: 8/ATK: 2900/DEF: 2400).
"Prepare yourself, Lady!" Thomas declared. "Dark Paladin, attack with..." Suddenly, he stopped himself before it was too late. "I almost forgot; you still have Mirror Wall out on your side of the field. If I had attacked, my monster's attack would've stopped and its attack would have dropped by half."
He took the last card in his hand and slid it into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk.
"I place one card facedown and end my turn." he finished. "Your Mirror Wall won't protect you for long."
Lady smiled. "Don't be so sure of that." she replied, before going and drawing her card.
Turn Nine: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (22)
Current Hand (7): Cost Down, De-Fusion, Harpies' Feather Duster, Rising Air Current, Harpie's Pet Dragon, Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation, and De-Spell
The beautiful blonde-haired girl held out her first card. "Go, Harpies' Feather Duster! Say goodbye to your facedown card!"
A whirlwind began to blow, but Thomas wasn't going to go down that soon.
"Go Dust Tornado!" he cried, poking a button on his Duel Disk. "Destroy Mirror Wall!"
As Thomas's facedown card got swept by the wind from Harpies' Feather Duster, it flipped up and revealed itself before getting destroyed—but not before going and destroying Mirror Wall in the process.
"Yes!" cheered James. "Now with that stupid Mirror Wall gone, Thomas can be able to attack freely."
Back in the duel field below...
"Don't count me out just yet!" Lady declared, slotting a card into her Duel Disk. "I discard one card from my hand in order to activate the Spell card Cost Down!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up. Lady discarded her De-Spell Spell card to the graveyard and smiled broadly.
"Thanks to this card, I only need to tribute one monster in order to summon a high leveled monster."
Dunames Dark Witch disappeared in a blue streak. The beautiful blonde-haired girl then held out her next card... which was also her most powerful monster.
"I summon Harpie's Pet Dragon!" Lady announced, placing the card onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk.
On cue, the large, ferocious pink dragon servant of the Harpie Ladies appeared with a roar. Since it got stronger for every Harpie Lady on the field, it got stronger the moment it was summoned onto the field (ATK: 2000 - 2900 / DEF: 2500).
"That's the monster she used against me." gasped Emily.
Unfortunately...
"You seem to forget Dark Paladin's special ability." grinned Thomas. "He gains 500 attack points for every dragon on the field and in the graveyard. And with one on your field and two in my graveyard, that makes it an additional 1500!"
Dark Paladin grew even more powerful (ATK: 2900 - 4400). But... Lady didn't seem all worried at all.
"Oh, I haven't forgotten." Lady remarked, holding a card in her hand. "I'll just place this card facedown."
A facedown card appeared.
"And then I'll activate the Field Spell card, Rising Air Current!" Lady inserted her card into the special slot for field spells.
All of a sudden, a great rush of wind took the field by surprise.
"At the cost of lowering my monsters' defense by 400 points, all of my wind attribute monsters gain 500 extra attack points!"
The three Harpie Ladies (ATK: 1800 - 2200 / DEF: 1300 - 900) and Harpie's Pet Dragon (ATK: 2900 - 3400 / DEF: 2500 - 2100) all gained much greater strength. It was still not enough to convince Thomas or the others otherwise.
"Dark Paladin is still stronger though." Percy commented.
Edward sensed what Lady what was about to do next, however, and pointed down off the balcony.
"Not when she plays that card though!" The intelligent, blue-haired boy pointed out.
Back in the duel field below...
"I activate De-Fusion!" announced Lady, sliding another card into a Spell/Trap slot on her Duel Disk. "This is the end of Dark Paladin!"
Dark Paladin suddenly felt like something was trying to pull him right apart. Soon, he vanished into a blue streak, and reappearing in his place was both Dark Magician (Level: 7/ATK: 2500) and Buster Blader (Level: 7/ATK: 2600 - 3100).
"My paladin!" cried Thomas.
"Your Dark Paladin has been split back into its two fusion material monsters." Lady stated. "Your biggest threat has been dealt with!"
Thomas cursed; for it meant none of his monsters were powerful enough to deal with Harpie's Pet Dragon.
"Correct." Lady agreed. "Harpie's Pet Dragon, attack Buster Blader with Fearsome Fire Blast!"
Harpie's Pet Dragon obeyed, firing a blast of flame at Buster Blader. The warrior-type monster was overwhelmed by the flame, getting roasted alive.
"Buster Blader has been destroyed!"
Thomas grimaced as his life points lowered again (LP: 1600).
"At this rate, if you continue to make reckless plays, you'll lose on your very next turn." Lady pointed out. "I know you have to have Sailor John and stop him. I really do understand your reasons to go after him, but it doesn't mean I have to let you win!"
Thomas gave a determined, yet fierce, look at the beautiful blonde-haired girl. He was still feeling that presence in his heart, and it was as if it wanted out.
"You understand nothing." The blue-haired boy muttered in anger. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be trying to make me fail."
"I know what Sailor John has done." Lady went on. "And I really want you to win this duel and be able to defeat him, Thomas. You have to believe me... but I can't purposely let you win because doing so is considered cheating."
Up on the balcony, the gang was going over the situation with Thomas.
"Thomas lost many of his powerful monsters." James was saying. "Buster Blader, Gaia the Dragon Champion, Dark Paladin, and soon the Dark Magician."
"Now what's he going to do?" asked Percy. "He has to win."
"I don't know how he'll do it." Edward shook his head. "But Thomas first needs to clear his head and think up a new plan before it's too late. Because if he continues to make mistakes and be blinded by his rage and hatred towards Sailor John, then everyone will lose!"
Down below, Thomas could only look on and growl in frustration at the situation he was currently in. Was there truly a way the blue-haired boy could make a comeback from the situation he was locked in? Or was he really finished? Find out soon!
To be Continued!
