The gang and Scott were staring at Bling Bling Boy.

Susan then replied, "I won, so release her!"

Scott then replied, "Do it or you'll regret it severely, Eugene."

Bling Bling Boy gulped and replied, "Okay."

He took a small sack of purple powder from his pocket and he opened and swung the bag at the statue of Mary and the powder covered the statue from head to toe.

Johnny then replied, "What does this powder do?"

Scott then replied, "It turns anyone that was turned into a statue of rock or metal back to normal and they feel a little bit stiff, but the feeling goes away in about 14 seconds or so."

Suddenly, the powder vanished and Mary was back to her normal self.

Susan smiled and replied, "MARY!"

Mary looked at her sister and she walked up to her and she hugged her and replied, "Hey, sis."

Johnny ran to her and replied, "Great to see you again, Mary."

Mary smiled at her brother and replied, "Likewise, Johnny."

Scott looked at Bling Bling Boy and replied, "For losing your duel and not listening to me at all, your history, Eugene."

His began to glow and fired two silver beams and both struck him and he didn't get to move a inch before he was turned into a metal statue like Mary was and his duel disk fell to the ground with the deck in it.

Mary then replied, "Whoa, creepy."

Scott looked at the gang and replied, "Now, you all must leave this castle unti tomarrow."

Dukey then replied, "Why?"

Scott then replied, "So I Can work on my deck in peace."

Susan then rpelied, "Who's dueling you tomarrow?

Scott then replied, "Not telling until tomarrow. Freed is welcome to enter the castle if he wants. Until tomarrow, good night. Also, take Eugenes deck if you want to. I really don't care what happens to it anymore."

Suddenly, He and Isono vanished from sight.

Mary then replied, "How'd he do that?"

Susan then replied, "Don't know, lets get back to the camp."

The gang nodded as they ran out.

Scotts Chamber / 7:15pm

Scott was looking over his deck. He had his extra deck which had 7 cards in it in one pile.

Scott then replied, "I'm ready for any kind of deck."

Suddenly, Isono came in and Scott replied, "What is it, old friend?"

Isono took a synchro monster card from his pocket and he gave it to Scott and Scott replied, "Where'd you get this card?"

Isono then replied, "I had it for along time now and I never was able to find the cards needed it to work, so I stored it my deck box until someone I knew wanted it or I I'd ever find the cards to use it."

He took the card and added it with his other 7 extra deck cards and Scott then replied, "Thanks to you, my deck is more powerful then ever."

Isono then replied, "Its no problem at all, my friend."

Johnny then replied, "We and Dukey teamed up and beat them in a duel."

Mary then replied, "That must of been one heck of a duel."

Johnny then replied, "I don't have to worry about Shroud anymore as well."

Mary then replied, "Cool."

Johnny then replied, "When he's gone, we're going home!"

Freed then replied, "I have a question to ask you kids."

Sissy then replied, "Sir Freed, what is it?"

Freed sighed and replied, "I want to know if its okay if I can duel him myself."

Johnny then replied, "Why?"

Freed then replied, "I've always dreamed of beating him in a duel and with whats going on right now, I want to beat him for everything he's done to us."

Johnny then replied, "Thats fine with us."

Mary then replied, "You'll have no trouble dueling."

Freed then replied, "Can I ask you all to help me with my deck to make it even better so that I can beat Scott in a duel?"

Dukey laughed and replied, "We sure will!"

Johnny then replied, "Lets do it!"

Command Knight nodded and replied, "We'll defend it with honor, sir."

Gearfried then replied, "Is your deck all ready to go, sir?"

Freed then replied, "Sure is. Those kids are a good help when it cames to deck building."

Johnny then replied, "Whoa."

Sissy then replied, "It only has 2,400 ATK."

Susan then replied, "Its ability must be strong."

Scott then replied, "Indeed. Exploder Dragonwing, attack his Obnoxius Celtic Guardian."

The dragon fired a blast of purple flames and the warrior gave out a groan before shattering into shards.

Johnny then replied, "What? Obnoxius Celtic Guardians ability protects him being destroyed by monsters with 1,900 ATK or more!"

Scotts then replied, "Exploder Dragonwings ability is that if it attacks a monster with 2,400 ATK or less, that monster is destroyed and you take damage equal to its ATK."

(Scott: 7,400LP / General Freed: 5,200LP)
