*Toronto, Canada, Suburban Household, 9:24 P.M.*

Lexi laid on her couch with a blanket over her. She had all the lights turned off and only the TV was on. She had been in a state of depression ever since Raquel had kidnapped her baby boy. The last time she heard anything was when she talked to Ryan and he went after them. It's been days and she has heard nothing. She had just all but given up hope.

Ding Dong.

Lexi had to get up, carrying the blanket around her, and answered the door.

Ryan: Special Delivery.

Lexi face lit up, when she saw Ryan at her door, carrying their sleeping baby boy in his arms. She gleefully hugged them both, crying with tears of joy.

Ryan: Whoa. You crying? That's so not like you.

Lexi: *Sniff* Shut up! What the hell took you so long?

Ryan: Sorry, I would've been here sooner, but somebody stole my duel runner.

Lexi: You should've called!

Lexi looked up at him, with tears in her eyes. Ryan looked down at his son and smiled.

Ryan: You're right. I'm sorry.


*Glenn Kern Island, Colin's House, 10:01 A.M.*

The following morning, Chris Martin was working on the computer in the house. Derek was looking over Chris' shoulder.

Chris: Is that all of them?

Derek: All we know. We really haven't seen Team Umbra duel.

Chris: We're lucky Marcantus attacked them then, huh? I mean we now know what his deck is made of.

Derek: I wouldn't say that was "lucky", Chris.

Chris: …Yeah I guess you're right. At least now, we can run a sim duel against him. It might just give us an edge.

Derek left the room and entered the Kitchen. Alice and Krystal were sitting at the table talking, while Rita was cooking Breakfast.

Krystal: -so it's all about Entrapment! Get a Guy alone, and back him into a position with no other way out.

Alice: Does that really work?

Krystal: Absolutely. Relationships, Commitment, Sex, whatever you want! Just trap them with the right wordplay.

Alice: Can I give you some tips?

Krystal: No! My secrets are too dangerous. Can you imagine if they got out? Women would Rule the World!

Derek: They already do, Krystal.

Krystal: See that! That's a man who knows his place!

Rita: Alice, don't listen to her. She's full of crap.

Krystal: T_T Why do you have to ruin it, Rita?

Rita: Because we're people. Not Objects to be manipulated. If you think like that, you're no better than Raza and Marcantus.

Krystal hung her head and looked down in sadness.

Krystal: I was only kidding…

Rita: I know…

Rita sighed and looked down, but then finished her cooking.

Rita: Alright! Breakfast is ready!

Derek thought for a moment and realized the Horror…Rita Was Cooking! He tried to escape but he felt a Sharp Pain grip his shoulder. He turned to See Rita clenching his Shoulder sharply. She had a demon's look in her eyes.

Rita: Sit. And. Eat.

Rita then kind of dragged Derek into his seat and pushed him down. Then Rita slid a plate of food in front of him and Derek was scared to look at it. He thought it might be like Krystal's stew surprise, tentacles and all, but he was surprised to see that it looked like normal pancakes with bacon, eggs and a strawberry on top.

Derek: Huh? What's this? It doesn't look like crap.

Derek then takes a bite of it and realizes it's actually pretty good.

Derek: Wow, this is pretty good.

Rita: You bet it is! Oh, and Colin told me what you said about my cooking.

Rita then pushes Derek's head into his food.

Rita: You got some nerve to criticize my food when you haven't even tried it, you son of a bitch!

Krystal: Hey, where is our Sultan of Scrap-Iron, anyway?

It was a really nice spring day out, but they suddenly heard an explosion coming from outside. Everyone looked outside and they saw Skyler dueling Nick. Skyler had Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon out while Nick had Ally of Justice Catastor, Ally of Justice Decisive Armor, Ally of Justice Nullifier and Uria, Lord of Searing Flame.

Skyler (LP 400): There goes your Hamon!

Nick (LP 200): Well I'm not done yet!

Laura and Marc were on the porch watching the duel. They were on a porch swing and slowly swinging on it.

Rita: Oh, come on! Do these two really need to duel to boost their egos? !

Laura: They're not. They're actually dueling in set scenarios.

Marc: Yeah, one duelist decides what each duelist has on the field and the other tries to come up with a strategy with those cards to beat the other.

Alice: Like a duel puzzle.

Laura: That's right, because they're gonna be in a tough situation when dueling the Umbra.

Krystal: That's a good idea.

The others stayed and watched. Colin was up in his room watching them from his window. Well, he was sitting on the window sill leaning back and watching.

Colin: I got winner!

Everyone looked up and noticed Colin but then paid back to the attention of the duel.

Colin: *Thinks: Damn! I left my deck in my Duel Runner. Better get it back from the old man.*


At Tinker's Workshop, Tinker was sleeping in a chair watching the Real Madrid VS Barcelona soccer match. The front door opened and Necros walked in. He walked straight back to where the Duel runners were being held. Tinker held Ali, Makoto, Jeremy, Ryan, Krystal, and Colin's Duel runners all in a row with the Runners Name on a sign next to the runner.

Necros: "White Lightning?" "Electric Shock?" "Spiral King?" "Dragon's Wrath?" "The Skatz?" See this is why people should NOT name their Duel Runners…Ah here it Is! "The Silver Rose!"

Necros went over to Colin's Duel runner and saw his Deck was still in the Runner's Deck slot. He took the cards out and started to look through his deck.

Necros: Ok, now let's see where you are at…

Necros looked through the deck from front to back. He didn't seem to find what he was looking for. So he searched again… but still didn't find it.

Necros: What the hell? ! It's not here!

Tinker: HEY! What the hell do you think you're doing? !

Tinker caught Necros in the act. Necros turned toward Tinker with an angry look.

Necros: Where is the Meklord?

Tinker: What?

Necros: Meklord Emperor Zeroth! None of the cards are in this deck!

Tinker: So you're trying to steal cards, huh? Can't let you do that!

Necros: And how do you plan to stop me?

Tinker went over to a table and picked up an old Duel Disk. After blowing the dust off it, he powered it up and placed a deck in it.

Necros: Are you serious? Do you know who I am?

Tinker: No, but how tough can you be?

Necros spat at the ground. Then his arm opened up all the mechanisms as his left arm turned into a duel disk. This scared Tinker a little bit.

Tinker (LP 4000): What the hell are you?

Necros (LP 4000): The thing that's going to kill you! *draws* I'll start by summoning Apocalypse Sphere (Lv.3 0/1500) in defense mode. And with its effect I can summon the only other Apocalypse Sphere from my hand in defense mode. And with 1 face-down, I end my turn.

Tinker: *draws* I summon Submarineroid (Lv.4 800/1800)! And thanks to his effect, he can attack you directly!

Submarineroid launched a torpedo that headed for Necros and inflicted him with 800 points of damage.

Tinker: And after he attacks, he switches to defense mode! I'll end my turn by placing one card face-down and activating the Spell Card Future Fusion! I reveal my Steam Gyroid so I can send Steamroid and Gyroid from my Deck to my Graveyard! Now during my 2nd Standby Phase after I activated Future Fusion, I can summon Steam Gyroid!

Necros drew his card and because the Apocalypse Spheres weren't destroyed before his turn, they short-circuited and inflicted Necros with a total of 2000 points of damage.

Necros (LP 1200): I now activate the Spell Card Coming of Apocalypse! This allows me to Special Summon all Apocalypse Spheres from my Deck! Since I only have one left, I'll just summon it! Then I activate my face-down Raigeki Break! I discard a card from my hand to destroy my own Apocalypse Sphere! Now I remove all three of my Apocalypse Spheres from play so I can summon Apocalypse (Lv.12 4000/3800)! And he'll attack Submarineroid!

Tinker: I activate my face-down Trap Supercharge! When you declare an attack while I only control Roid monsters, I can draw 2 cards!

Apocalypse fired a ball of dark energy at Submarineroid and destroyed it. Then parts of Submarineroid attached themselves to Apocalypse.

Necros: When Apocalypse destroys a Machine monster, he's equipped with it and gains its effectsand his attack power increases equal to its Level x1000!

Tinker: Uh-oh.

Necros: So next turn, I'll just attack you directly! But until then, you can make another move!

Tinker: *draws* Hmph! I activate the Spell Card System Down!

Necros: System Down? !

Tinker (LP 3000): I pay 1000 Life Points and all Machine monsters on your field and in your Graveyard are removed from play!

A big, black surge of energy came from the sky and caused Apocalypse to short-circuit and spasm until he exploded.

Necros: I hate System Down! Well, it doesn't matter! Since Apocalypse was removed from play, I can Special Summon the Apocalypse Cannon (Lv.8 2800/2300)!

Tinker: Another strong monster? HA! This is awesome!

Necros: Huh?

Tinker: I haven't had a duel this exciting since before my kids were born! I forgot how good it felt! Thanks for this! I've been in a slump for 30 years!

Necros: I wouldn't thank me if I were you. When my turn comes around, I can use my Apocalypse to wipe out everything on your field! So end your turn already!

Tinker: Hold on and let me think! … I'll place one monster face-down in defense mode and one card face-down! That ends my turn!

Necros: *draws* Apocalypse Cannon, go! Complete Annihilation!

The electrical turbines on Apocalypse Cannon began to turn as it charged up power. Then it fired a beam of impressive energy that destroyed everything on Tinker's side of the field.

Tinker: I activate the Quickplay Spell Storm Shelter! This protects one Spell or Trap on my field from being destroyed this turn! I protect Future Fusion!

Necros: Fine, I'll just end my turn!

Tinker: What, you're not going to attack?

Necros: No, after I used that much power, Apocalypse Cannon needs 2 turns to recharge, so it can't attack until then!

Tinker: Then I guess it's my turn! *draws* And now that it's my second Standby Phase, I can Fusion Summon Steam Gyroid (Lv.6 2200/1600)! Then I summon Expressroid (Lv.4 400/1600)! And when he's summoned, I can add 2 Roid monsters from my Graveyard to my hand and I choose Steamroid and Submarineroid! Now I activate Power Bond so I can fuse my Steam Gyroid and Expressroid with the Steamroid, Submarineroid and Drillroid in my hand so I can create Barbaroid, the Ultimate Battle Machine (Lv.12 4000/4000)!

Necros: What the hell? !

Tinker: Here's what Barbaroid can do! He can attack twice each Battle Phase, although not directly, after he attacks an opponent's monster, that monster's effects are negated, even in the Graveyard, and when he destroys one of your monsters, you take 1000 points of damage! And thanks to Power Bond, his attack power is doubled! I might be going on overkill here, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Barbaroid, att-hrg!

Tinker then clenched his chest over his heart and felt a pain shoot up and down his left arm. He fell to his knees as it became harder to breath. The intensity of the duel seemed to be a little much for his old heart.

Necros: A heart attack? Good! You can just lay there and die.

Then they heard the sound of the front door of the store opening.

Colin: Hey, old man, you here? I came to pick up my deck.

Necros fled before Colin found him, and as Colin came into the back he saw Tinker falling to the ground.

Colin: TINKER!

Colin went down to help him and realized almost immediately what was happening to him.

Tinker: Call...*Breath* an Ambulance…

Colin: No time. I gotta get you to the Clinic. Come On Old man!

Colin helped Tinker to his feet and hurried him out of there. Lucky the small town's medical clinic was right across the street.


Later, in Tinker's Garage, Colin had returned there to pick up his deck. Tinker was resting now, just barely making it. Colin looked around and saw some security footage taken by the security camera in the garage. The camera caught the whole duel with Necros, and the stress that it caused gave Tinker the heart attack.

Colin: That Son of a Bitch!
