0713MM: No duels in this chapter.

Chapter 13: Hospital break

The gang began to keep walking after they grabbed some to-go snacks from a Snack Shack, they decided to head toward the billowing black clouds in the distance, unfortunately, it was still too far away. Dumon was holding onto Rio. (No, not because he likes her. Okay, that's part of the reason, but the other reason is because of what happened during his duel against the two Chaos Emperors). Eventually, Dumon fell flat on his face on the blue sidewalk that they were walking on.

"Ow..." he groaned. "That hurt." Rio turned to look at Dumon.

"Dumon!" she exclaimed worriedly. "Are you alright?"

"Naturally." Vector muttered. Dumon got up slowly and turned his head to face Rio.

"Yes, I'm fine Rio." Dumon said. "Thanks for asking." Rio stared at him, obivously not convinced. Dumon got up slowly and turned his head to face Rio.

"You sure you are alright?" Shark asked. Dumon looked between Shark and Rio.

"Yes, I'm-." Dumon started to say, then he felt something inside his body. He groaned, then fell facefirst into the sidewalk again. Vector looked down at Dumon.

"I don't think you're fine." Vector said. Dumon got up slowly again. He groaned again. Rio looked at Dumons' chest. She gasped for what she saw dribbling down his shirt.

"Uh Dumon." she said. "Look down at your shirt." Dumon looked down, and he too, gasped in shock.

"What? Why is there blood dribbling down my shirt?" Dumon asked. Rio stared for a moment, then realized something.

"Dumon, do you remember what happened when Dark Dumon told his Archfiend Seraph to attack you directly?" she asked. Dumon turned to look at her.

"Of course I remember." he replied.

Flashback...

"Archfiend Seraph, attack Dumon directly!" ordered Dark Dumon Archfiend Seraph took out its archer and took out a arrow, and pulled the arrow back, aiming at Dumon.

"Fire your Demon's Arrow!" Dark Dumon ordered. Archfiend Seraph did just that. Rio turned to face Dumon. Shock on her face.

"DUMON! NO!" screamed Shark and Rio. Dark Dumon began to laugh. The arrow shot Archfiend Seraph pierced at Dumons' heart. Then, pain ensued throughout Dumons' body.

Flashback ends...

"Well, it appears that when you are attacked directly, it can cause real damage." Astral said while pointing at Dumons' shirt to prove his point.

"Astral, that happened to me when I dueled Eliphas." Yuma pointed out.

"Yeah, it did." Vector chuckled. "It took your grandma forever to fix your clothes." Yuma turned and stared at Vector for a moment.

"No, it didn't take her forever." Yuma retorted.

"Even so, I don't remember that my World can inflict real damage during a duel." Astral said.

"Well, it can." Dumon groaned as he tried to walk properly, using Rio as support. Rio turned to face Dumon, her cheeks turning bright red from embrassment. Mizar looked at Dumon.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Mizar asked. "If not, I could use Dragulon to fly you to the hospital that's across the street." Mizar pointed to hospital that was across the street to further prove his point.

"I'm not hospital material." Dumon retorted. Vector chuckled.

"Uh yeah, you are." Vector said. Dumon turned to face Vector.

"Who asked for your opinion?" Dumon snarled.

"Uh, nobody." Vector mumbled. Rio then smiled.

Sometimes Dumon is so stubborn. she thought. Trying to deny the fact that he's hurt. Trey looked around.

"Mizar is right Dumon." Kite said. "You don't want to die because of you being stubborn. Trust me, I've been there." Dumon nodded weakly.

"Alright." he muttered. "Take me to the hospital then." Everyone else smiled at that response.

At the hospital...

Rio came out of Dumons' hospital room, wiping her hands. Shark got out of the chair he was sitting in.

"How is he?" he asked his sister.

"He's fine." she replied. "He'll recover soon enough." Shark nodded.

"That's good." Trey said with a smile. Quattro nodded.

"How long do you think he'll be in the hospital Rio?" Mizar asked. Rio shrugged.

"Don't know. The doctors didn't say." she replied.

"Is it that bad?" Vector asked.

"Probably." Yuma said. Rio looked down at her wristwatch. The watch read: 12:30 p.m.

"Oh guys." Rio piped up. Yuma, Shark and Vector turned to look at her.

"Yes?" Shark asked. "What is it?"

"I just remembered that I have to keep an eye on Dumon. Be back in around 15-20 minutes." And with that, she ran straight into the hospital.

Meanwhile, up above on a nearby building roof...

Dark Mizar stared down at the gang of friends. He then smirked when he saw Kite and Mizar talking to each other.

Time to get my revenge. he thought. And with that, he teleported away from the scene.

Back to Yuma and his friends...

"Hey Kite." Mizar said. Kite turned to face him, who was still eating the snack that he and rest of the gang got for snacks.

"Mmm?" Kite asked. (Who in turn, was still eating).

"Did you sense any dark presence?" Mizar asked.

"No." Kite said, who was wiping his face clean with a napkin. "Why?"

"Well, I did." Mizar stated. Then, Kite puts his hands to his head.

"You feel it too?" Mizar asked.

"Yeah, I do." Kite replied. "It must be Dark Mizar." Mizar nodded in agreement. Yuma turned and saw the situation.

"Kite!" Yuma shouted. "Are you okay?"

"He's fine, Yuma." Mizar said. Yuma raised an eyebrow.

"You sure?" Yuma asked. "Because, he doesn't seem alright to me."

"So, Kite has felt my presence. Oh well." Dark Mizar said as he appeared from the shadows. Mizar turned to face his dark side.

"Leave us be!" he snarled. Dark Mizar chuckled.

"I will, after I have a duel between you and Kite." Dark Mizar explained. Mizar nodded, and turned to face Kite. Kite had already done his Photon Transformation.

"Seems that we're all ready then." Mizar chuckled. Dark Mizar nodded.

"Indeed." he agreed.

"Kite, you sure you want to do this?" Yuma asked. Kite turned to face Yuma.

"Yes, I'm sure Yuma." Kite replied. He then turned back to face his foe, Dark Mizar.

"Alright Kite. If you say so." Yuma three duelists had drawn their five starting cards. Yuma and the rest of the gang turned their bodies in their chairs to watch the duel that was about to ensue.

"This should be fun to watch." Quattro said.

"Maybe." Trey said.

"Let's duel!" the threesome shouted.

0713MM: Uh-oh! Dark Mizar wants revenge!
