Susan then replied, "If its not too personal, I like to ask you a question."

Adrian then replied, "Okay, go ahead."

Susan then replied, "What kind of deck did she use?"

Adrian then repleid, "I'll gladly answer that question, Susan. She dueled with that deck 10 times and won all but 1 match and that was against me and my Cloudian Deck. It was a Gladiator Beast Deck."

Susan then replied, "What a heck of a deck to uee."

Adrian nodded and replied, "Sure is. Its hard to control the monsters in it, but if used right its powerful."

It took a card (Which was a Cyber-Tech Aligator) and placed it in the graveyard.

The robot resumed, "Activate Alchemy Cycle."

Suddenly, the Weaker dragon roared (1,100/600 - 0/600).

Lehictor then replied, "Why do that?"

The robot resumed, "Since Cyber-Proto Dragon counts as a Cyber Dragon while on the field, I can activate Machine Duplication to summon two More Cyber Dragons."

Suddenly, two Cyber Dragons appeared (2,100/1,600 x2).

The robot resumed, "Activate Equip card Chthonian Alliance on one of my Cyber Dragons."

Scott then replied, 'Well done, Gentlemen."

Lehictor then replied, "With the power of your deck, we'll be unstoppable in our duel."

Krump then replied, "Those Psychic monsters are odd."

Lehictor then replied, "I know, but they're fun monsters to try our if you have the right amount of lifepoints."

Scott then replied, "Now all of you get some time off until those brats enter this castle. Do whatever your little heart desires."

The 5 nodded and vanished.

Isono then replied, "Is there anyone to protect the bridge to this castle?"

Scott nodded and replied, "Sure is. I hired a duel spirit with a really tough deck to block those brats from entering."

Suddenly, the main door opened up and a tall musclar man holding a whip came out and he had a duel disk on his arm.

Freed then replied, "Thats a Monster Tamer. A warrior with pathetic stats of a level 5 monster."

He looked at Sissy and replied, "Would you do the honors?"

Sissy then repleid, "Of course."

Sissy sighed as she looked at her deck.

"Maybe I should just forfeit the duel. I tried my best, but failed. Even my best card was trashed.", Sissy thought to herself as she stared at her deck.

She began to slowly bring her hand towards her deck.

Sissy then replied, "Why bother? I'm out of options."

Johnny then replied, "I know you want to, but I bet you can figure out how to win. I'll always be behind you all of the way! Please don't do it!"

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I summon my Majestic Mech - Ohka!"

As she sat the card down, the crystal-like fairy appeared (2,400/1,400).

Monster Tamer then repleid, "I'm finished."

Sissy smiled and replied, "Indeed you are! Ohka, attack!"
