Shadowland Castle Main Chamber / 5:30pm
Scott was with Isono in his chamber at a small table. They had a plate of cheese and crackers near them.
Scott then replied, "So, another one of my duelists bites the dust."
Isono then replied, "Yep. Weevil has met his match."
Scott sighed and replied, "Oh well, he wasen't much of a duelist anyway. Anything different happen during the duel?"
Isono then replied "Other then Weevil blowing the duel and Mary acting more angerier then ever, nothing else happened."
Scott then replied, "Okay then. Whos next?"
Isono then repleid, "Archfiend General, sir."
Scott nodded and replied, "Whoever has to face him will have a tough time beating his deck."
Isono nodded as he grabbed a cracker and ate it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Duel Lounge / 5:45pm
The gang was in the lounge relaxing. Mary in the red easy while the rest of the gang was at a nearby table.
Mary then replied, "Come on, guys. You all been giving me the silent treatment since we left the greenhouse."
Susan then replied, "Thats because you scared the crap out of us in your duel."
Mary then replied, "How so?"
Dukey then replied, "Lets just say you were extremely angry throughout your whole duel with bug boy."
Mary then replied, "Wow. I guess Weevil really got to me. Because of all the things he's done in his career. Like Trick a kid to mess up Joey Wheelers deck and he also took Yugi Muto's Exodia cards and tossed them into the ocean and there's also the time he joined the Orichalcos gang and many other things he's done to make duelists lives a living hell and when he insulted my monster, that went too far. I wanted to shove his duel disk right up his butt and laugh about it."
Sissy then repleid, "Whoa, girl. Calm down."
Mary sighed and replied, "I am now. Thanks."
Susan then replied, "But he's gone now and he won't be bothering us anymore."
Johnny then replied, "Also I can say about him is good riddance to bad rubbish."
Dukey laughed and replied, "Whoever is next, I Want to duel him or her."
Johnny then replied, "Thats fine with me."
Susan then replied, "Have you redone your deck at all since your duel with Adrian?"
Dukey nodded and replied, "I've actually worked on it about 5 different times until it was just right. I'm ready to duel anyone."
Suddenly, the door opened up and Isono came in and he replied, "Greetings, my friends."
Johnny then replied, "Isono? Where's Scott?"
Isono then replied, "He's a bit under the weather so he's resting at the moment. He wanted me to tell you all who's next."
Dukey then replied, "Whoever it is I'm dueling him or her."
Isono nodded and replied, "Okay then. You're facing a duelist in this castles prison. The prison is on the second floor. I'll be outside of it to lead you inside. Dukey, you're facing Archfiend General."
He turned around and shut the door.
Dukey then replied, "This fiend probably runs a archfiend deck."
Johnny then replied, "Them kind of decks can be really tricky to master."
Susan then replied, "I bet the king taught him how to use that kind of deck in a duel."
Mary then replied, "No matter what happnens, you'll win your duel, Dukes."
Sissy then replied, "It'll be tough, but you'll win hands down."
Dukey nodded and replied, "Thanks gang."
---------------------------------------------------------
Scotts chamber / 6:00pm
Scott was indeed feeling a bit sick in bed. He was resting quietly.
Isono came in and he smiled and replied, "How are you doing, Scott?"
Scott smiled back and replied, "A bit better. I still feel a bit ill, but i'll be fine. Did you tell them about the next duel?"
Isono nodded and replied, "Sure did, my friend."
Scott then replied,"I can't believe I'm say this, but have Sand Gambler and Gambler of Legend released from the prison ASAP."
Isono then replied, "Why?"
Scott coughed and then repleid, "They've annoyed me enough and I'm tired of their constant whining. Tell the General to release them immediaty."
Isono then replied, "What about Dokurorider?"
Scott sighed and replied, "I released him a while ago. I gave him a new bike and he left days ago."
Isono then replied, "What about Goblin Of Greed?"
Scott then replied, "He escaped my castle somehow like Blast did and He hasen't been seen since."
Isono then replied, "I"ll let him know they're free to go."
Scott then replied, "Can you bring me a Dian Keto the Cure Master card and some extra strength Aspirin?"
Isono nodded and left the room.
Scott then replied, "Darn this cold. I can't wait to get over it."
---------------------------------------------
Shadowland Castle Prison / 6:15pm
Archfiend General was at his disk, with a duel disk on his arm with a deck in it. Sand Gambler and Gambler Of Legend were in their cell.
Suddenly, Isono came in and he looked at the General and replied, "Scott wants those two released right at this moment."
The fiend sighed as he walked up to the cell and he unlocked it and the General then replied, "You're free to go now."
Gabe then replied, "Not that I'm complaning, but why are we being released?"
Isono then replied, "You really want the truth?"
Both gamblers nodded to Isono.
Isono then replied, "He's tired of your complaning, whining and pretty much sick of the both of you. So he wants you both out or we'll have two Lesser Fiends throw you out."
Sandy gulped and replied, "We'll leave right away."
The two gamblers quickly ran out.
Isono then replied, "BTW, those kids are coming to duel you."
Archfiend General laughed and replied, "No matter what, I'll be ready."

15 Minutes Later....
----------------------------------------
Shadowland Land Castle / 6:30pm
The gang was in the room.
the fiend laughed and replied, "Which one of you I'm I dueling?"
Dukey then replied, "Me."
Archfiend General then replied, "Okay, lets duel then."
Dukey ran into a cell and the fiend locked it.
Johnny then replied, "WHAT?"
Sissy then replied, "Thats no fair!"
The fiend then replied, "Don't worry. We're still dueling."
He went into a cell across from Dukey and he locked it up and threw the keys to the side and they both activated their duel disks.
"Game on!", both yelled out.
(Archfiend General: 8,000LP / Dukey: 8,000LP)
They both drew 5 cards.
Dukey then replied, 'Start us off if you want to."
Archfiend General drew a card and replied, "I Set a monster facedown and I set 1 other card facedown and thats my turn."
Dukey drew a card ad replied, "I Summon my Toy Train!"
As he sat the card down, the toy train appeared (1,700/500).
Dukey resumed, "Lets do it. Attack!"
The train charged in and a Witch of the Black Forest appeared on the card (1,100/1,200) and the train slammed into the witch and she gave out a scream before exploding into pixels.
The fiend took out his deck and he looked for a card he wanted and he reshuffled and slid the deck back into place.
Dukey resumed, "Okay then. I end my turn with 1 facedown card."
Archfiend General drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Shadowknight Archfiend!"
As he sat the card down, a wicked knight appeared (2,000/1,600).
Dukey then replied, "I knew you used a archfiend deck."
Archfiend General laughed and replied, "You're going to see how good I am at using it. Attack his toy!"
The knight went in and slammed its sword into the train, blowing it to scrap.
(Archfiend General: 8,000LP / Dukey: 7,850LP)
Archfiend General sighed and replied, "It may only do half damage, buts that okay with me."
Dukey groaned and replied, "When my train bites the big one, I get to draw 1 card."
He drew a card from his deck.
Archfiend General resumed, "I set 2 cards facedown and thats my turn."
Susan then replied, "Won't he have to pay to use his archfiends now with Pandemonium?"
Mary nodded and replied, "Sure will. Why wouldn't he activate that card?"
The General then replied, "I'll tell you, ladies. I have only 1 copy of it in my deck."
Johnny then repleid, "WHAT? Most Archfiend duelists would have at least two to three copies of it in their decks!"
The fiend nodded and replied, "I know, but I only wanted 1 copy in my deck to make room for more cards."
Dukey drew a card and replied, "Okay then. I set 1 monster facedown and I also set a card facedown and thats my turn."
Archfiend General drew a card and replied, "I activate my facedown card Solomon's Lawbook! With this card My standby phase is skipped."
Johnny then replied, "That way, he doesn't have to pay for its effect."
Archfiend General resumed, "I activate a certain spell card."
Johnny then replied, "Pandemoniun?"
The general smiled as he oepend his fled slot and replied, "Close, but no. I activate the Field Spell Card known as Pandemonium Chessboard!"
As he slid the card into the slot and it shut, a large chessboard appeared underneath the duelists.
The general resumed, "This rare field spell is like pandemonium, except my archfiend monsters gain 300 ATK with this field spell."
The knight began to glow (2,000/1,600 - 2,300/1,600).
Archfiend General resumed, "To continue my turn, I summon my Infernalqueen Archfiend!"
As he sat the card, a burst of fire appeared and when the flames died down, the evil queen of the archfiends appeared (900/1,500 - 1,200/1,500).
Archfiend General resumed, "Now for my queens ability. I add 1,000 points to her score."
She began to cackle like crazy (1,200/1,500 - 2,200/1,500).
Archfiend General resumed," Thats that. ATTACK!"
The Knight went in and a Giant Rat appeared on the card (1,400/1,450) and with one slash of the fiends sword, the rodent was cut in two.
Suddenly, a 2nd rat appeared (1,400/1,450).
Archfiend General resumed, "Roast that rat!"
The demon pointed to the rat..
Dukey laughed and replied, "I activate Widespread Ruin!"
As his trap flipped up, 6 numbered flaming balls appeared.
Archfiend General then replied, "If I get a 2 or a 5, your trap is useless!"
Suddenly, the first ball began to glow black and then it spinned around and stopped on a 4.
Dukey then replied, "YEA!"
Suddenly, to his suprise, the balls began to spin again.
Archfiend General laughed and rpelied, "Thanks to my chessboard, I get to redo it!"
Suddenly, the glow stopped on 5 and the trap vanished.
Archfiend General smiled and replied, "I win. Continue your attack!"
The fiend fired a blast of flames and the rat was burned to a crisp.
(Archfiend General: 8,000LP / Dukey: 7,050LP)
Suddenly, Armor Breaker appeared (800/800).
Archfiend General smiled and rpelied, "This is going well. I set a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Dukey drew a card and replied, "I tribute my Breaker for my Toy Emperor!"
Armor Breaker vanished and then the mighty toy monarch appeared (2,300/800).
Dukey resumed, "Lets do it. Toy Emperor, attack!"
The warrior went in and slashed the queen with his sword and she screamed before exploding in a burst of flames and smoke.
(Archfiend General: 6,900LP / Dukey: 7,050LP)
Dukey took his deck out and he found the card he wanted and he reshuffled and slid his deck back into his slot and then he laughed and replied, "Take that! I end my turn now."
Archfiend General drew a card and replied, "I switch my shadowknight to defense mode and thats all I can do."
Dukey drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Toy Magician!"
As he sat the card down, the plastic wizard appeared (1,600/1,500).
Dukey resumed, "Lets do it. Emperor, attack!"

Dukey wins again. Don't worry, Dukey will duel one more time and I won't tell when that will happen. In the next chapter, Mary has to duel Bling Bling Boy once again and he has a new deck. Can she win against his new deck? Revealing the next chapters title will spoil it, so I'm keeping it a secret.
