Bling Bling Boy and Scott were in the dining room, awaiting for dinner served by Castles Master Chef: The Bistro Butcher
Bling Bling sighed and replied, "When will dinner be served, sir?"
Scott then replied, "The chef said he would be bringing in the food in about 5 minutes, young sir."
Witty Phantom then replied, "I hope he got the orders right time."
Scott then replied, "Do YOU want to cook and serve food, phantom?"
The fiend gulped and replied,"I'll shut up now."
Scott then replied, "You always complain about his cooking. Someday he's going to duel you to teach you a lesson."
Phantom sighed and replied," He does'nt have a deck, sir."
Scott then replied, "He did'nt before I taught him how to duel. So he nows."
Phantom sighed and replied, "Okay then. I'm dueling him."
Suddenly, the kitchen door opened up and a Fiend with a hook for a hand came in with a tray full of plates with food on them.
Bling Bling then replied, "The Bistro Butcher?"
Scott nodded to him and replied, "Who else knows about food more then him, Eugene?"
Bling Bling then replied, "Good point, Scott."
Scott looked towards the fiend and replied, "Whats for supper, my loyal servant?"
The fiend nodded and replied, "Prime Rib and baked patatoes sir and strawberry cheesecake for desert."
Bling Bling smiled and replied, "Yea, that sounds great!"
The fiend nodded and he walked around and placed the plates on the tables and then he left towards the kitchen.
Bling Bling looked at Scott and replied, "Where'd he learn how to cook?"
Scott then replied, "Me and the one who taught me to cook is a Chef from Shanghai, Mei Ming."
Bling Bling then replied, "Mei Shenzuka? She's the best chef of Chinese food."
Scott then replied, "She cooked for me and I'll enjoyed all of her food...before that happened."
He gave out a big sigh.
Bling Bling then replied, "What happened, sir?"
Scott then replied, "About 3 years before you met me. She was driving home from my house and when she got on the main road, then she lost control of her vehicle and she crashed into another car while on a busy Shanghai street and she was killed instantley. She was only 26 years old when she passed on."
Bling Bling gulped and replied, "I'm sorry sir."
Scott then replied, "Its okay, Eugene. After she passed on, My team of construction workers built a Chinese Restaraunt in Meixin District, was is the busiest part of the city. We called the Cafe The Jade Ming in honor of her. I invited her family to the restaraunt on the day of its opening day and they said the place was beautiful and thanked me for honoring Mei in this way."
Bling Bling then replied, "That was nice of you, sir."
He looked at Bling Bling and replied, "I knew it was a good way of remebering her. Now, lets eat."

The Test family was enjoying a meal of chicken and potatoes with gravy.
Johnny gulped down a glass of root beer and he smiled and replied, "That was the best food ever. Who made it, General?"
General Freed laughed and replied, "It was Command Knight. She's the best chef we got and she continues to be the best chef ever."
Mary looked at her plate of untouched food and gave out a deep sigh.
Susan looked at her and replied, "I added those 2 special cards to my deck, but I have yet to test my deck on anyone since we arrived here today."
General Freed then replied, "Are you saying you want to duel a member of my army for a little fun and practice?"
Mary nodded and replied, "Can we duel in the morning after breakfast, sir?"
Freed nodded and replied, "I know the perfect duelist to test on. Her deck is one of the best I've seen."
Command Knight then replied, "I know who you're talking about, sir."
Freed nodded and replied, "Meet me in the training field behind her at about 11 'o' clock tomarrow morning and we'll duel."

Bling Bling then replied, "Is the one you store you cards, Scott?"
Scott then replied, "Yes, Eugene. The rarest cards are here. Do you need any new cards for your deck, Eugene?"
Bling Bling then replied, "To make even more powerful to crush Susan? Yes."

All of the warriors and the family were enjoying a pancake breakfast made by Command Knight and a little help from Axe Raider.
Johnny smiled and replied, "Good pancakes. Where do we have to go to get to Moonlight Highway, sir?"
Freed then replied, "I'll tell you once more. About 10 miles north of here, is a small dirt road that'll take you to the entrance of the Highway and without a vehicle, it'll take you a while to get there."
Susan then replied, "Then what would we do then, sir?"
Freed then replied, "About 3 miles west of that road is a junkyard that we've created some motorscooters for just in case we needed to go on the highway ourselves."
Johnny smiled and replied, "Motorscooters? Awesome!"
Stanley smiled and replied, "Are they safe enough for our kids and Dukey to use, sir?"
Freed nodded and replied, "Of course, Mr. Test. Me and the Captain built them using the metal and parts that were in the junkyard. We made sure that anyone could use them without any trouble."
Mary took her deck and replied, "General, who would I be dueling?"
Freed then relied, "You'll find out when its time for you to duel, Mary. It'll be about 15 more minutes before the duel can began."

The training fields were the grounds that General Freed and his army trained in to prepare for battle and duel. Mary was in one of the main training arenas, preparing to duel her opponet.
Freed then replied, "Came on out!"
Suddenly, a women wearing black armor and wearing red hair came in with a duel disk on her arm.
Johnny then replied, "Getsu Fuhma?"
Freed nodded and replied, "She does'nt mind be used in a training duel."
Getsu laughed and replied, "Ready to duel, Mary?"
Mary laughed and replied, "I was born ready!"
Both activated their disks and both counters went up to the correct numbers.
"Game on!", Both duelists yelled out.
(Getsu Fuhma: 8,000LP / Mary: 8,000LP)
Both drew 5 cards from their decks.
Johnny then replied, "What kind of deck is Mary using anyway? I've never seen it before."
Susan then replied, "To be honest, I've never seen it before, either. Everytime she's worked on it, She hides somewhere and she's never used it until now."
Dukey then replied, "Whatever her deck may be, She'll do just fine."
Getsu smiled and replied, "She I start or do you want to?"
Mary drew a card and replied, "I set a monster facedown and thats my turn."
Getsu drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Dark Blade."
As she sat the card down, the Dark swordsman appeared (1,800/1,500).
Getsu resumed, "Lets do it. Attack her facedown card now!"
The swordman went in and a Island Turtle appeared on the card (1,100/2,000) and the swordsman stopped before he did anything.
(Getsu Fuhma: 7,800LP / Mary: 8,000LP)
Mary then replied, "My Turtle has enough defense to stop your warriors attack."
Getsu sighed and replied, "So it does. My turn is over now."
Mary drew a card and replied, "I activate the special ability of The Warrior Of Atlantis. By discarding it to the graveyard, I can add a specific spell card from my deck to my hand."
She discarded the card to her graveyard and then she took her deck out and found the field spell and added it to her hand.
Johnny then replied, "She runs a water deck? Intresting deck choice."
Susan then replied, "She always liked Mako Tsunami and his water deck, so I'm not surprised she wanted a Water deck of her own."
Mary opened her field slot and replied, "I activate the field spell card, a Legendary ocean."
she placed the card into the slot and it shut and the ocean filled the field and the legendary city was behind her and the Turtle gave out happy moan (1,100/2,000 - 1,300/2,200).
Mary resumed, "To continue my turn, I set another monster facedown and thats my turn."

Mary smiled and replied, "That was my Skreech you just destroyed. When it gets destroyed, I can discard two water monsters from my deck to the graveyard."
She took her deck and she found the cards and she took them and placed them into the graveyard and then she placed her deck back into her disk.
Getsu sighed and replied, "Okay then. That'll end my turn now."
Mary drew a card and replied, "I Now summon my favorite monster I Remove Skreech from play to summon the Aqua Spirit!"
As she took the odd reptile card and placed it in her RFP slot, a women made of water appeared and she had gills, ears that looked like fins and she wore a beautiful dress (1,600/1,200 - 1,800/1,400).
Mary then replied, "Of all the cards in my deck, this card is indeed my most favorite."
Getsu only sighed.
Johnny then replied, "She's beautiful."
Dukey then replied, "With her ocean card on the field, her monster is a bit stronger then before."
Mary resumed, "Lets do it. Attack her soldior with drowning water!"
The spirit opened her and she fired a blast of water that struck the soldior and he groaned and shattered into pixels.
The soldiors sword appeared and it flew into the air and struck Mary in the chest.
(Getsu Fuhma: 7,200LP / Mary: 7,400LP)
Mary groaned and replied, "I knew your soldiors ability. I Set 2 cards facedown and thats my turn."
Getsu drew a card.
Mary quickly replied, "I activate my spirits ability. Your monster must go to defense mode now and remain there for the rest of the turn."
The spirit fired another blast of water and the swordsman knelt.

Mary sighed and replied, "And thats that. My turn is now over."
Getsu drew a card and replied, "I Special summon my Fiend Megacyber now!"
As he placed the card onto his disk, the golden warrior appeared (2,200/1,200).
Mary then replied, "Don't explain how, I already know."
Getsu sighed and replied, "Okay then. I Summon a copy of Me now!"
As she sat the card down, a copy of her appeared on the field (1,700/1,200).
Getsu resumed, "I activate the spell card. A. Forces!"
The two dark warriors began to glow (1,700/1,200 - 2,100/1,200 (2,200/1,200 - 2,600/1,200).

Mary only sighed as she slid her favorite card into graveyard.
Getsu resumed, "Oh well. My turn is now over."
As she drew a card, A large frog with a halo appeared (100/100 - 300/300).
Getsu then replied, "Wait. Was the one of the Skreech cards you discarded?"
Mary nodded and replied, "Sure was. I Tribute it for my Mobius the Frost Monarch."
As the frog vanished, the icey monarch appeared (2,400/1,000 - 2,600/1,200).

Getsu drew a card and replied, "I Switch my warrior to defense mode and that'll end my turn."

As she sat the card down, a large red submarine appeared with twin-turrets (1,500/1,300 - 1,700/1,300).
Mary resumed, "Now since we're in the ocean terrain, this lovely machine can attack directly!"
The machine powered up and fired two blasts of water that struck the dark warrior.
(Getsu: 4,600LP / Mary: 6,500LP)
Mary resumed, "Mobius, put her warrior on ice!"
The giant breathed its icy breath and the golden warrior was blown to pixels.
