Me: *Sitting on a chair furiously playing a 3DS*

Jack: What's up with her?

Yusei: She just got a 3DS, and also finished reading the instruction manual.

Me: TAKE THAT SUCKER!

Crow: Hey, if she's doing that, then who's gonna type up this chapter?

Me: *Throws a pad of paper at Crow's face*

Crow: Hey! Oh wait, this has the chapter written on it. Yusei, you do it.

Yusei: Fine by me. Oh yeah, Shimmering-Sky doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds. She does own Sky.

Me: *Has 3DS again, but isn't playing it* Ugh, I don't know which game to play.

Yusei: What are your choices?

Me: To finish the new games I've started in Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Professor Layton and the Last Specter; try and complete all of the bonuses in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds World Championship 2011 Over the Nexus; start a new game in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds World Championship 2010 Reverse of Arcadia or Bakugan: Battle Brawlers; or to pick up my old Gameboy and finish the new game of Pokémon Sapphire I started recently.

Yusei: *Blinks in surprise* How do you get in the middle of that many games?

Me: Uh, I start a game, then it bores me, so I go to a new game, then another catches my interest and I play it instead, and it just spirals downhill from there. It's kind of like what happens with all of the different series of books I read.

Sky: So basically, it's your lack of attention span's fault.

Me: Yep! Oh yeah, I have to go do something. *Throws a pad of paper to Yusei* There's the updated version! Type it for me, will you? *Runs off*

Yusei: *Shakes head* Why am I not surprised?

Chapter 4

I grab my Deck off of the table next to my bed. Or rather, my old bed. Today Yusei turned thirteen, and by Martha's rules, that means he has to leave, and the only reason I was living here is because of Yusei. I'm going to miss this place, my home for twelve years. But at least we're allowed to visit whenever we want to.

Yusei left about twenty minutes ago with Jack and Crow, something to do with some Dueling tournament, and I want to go be in it. The only problem is, I don't know where the tournament is being held. Jack was the one that knew where it was.

'Yusei, where are you?' I send out my thought. I might not have told Yusei about his powers, but one of the pros (and sometimes cons) of being a Fudo is that siblings have a strange ability to communicate through thoughts until one of them dies. That's when, I've heard, the ability is a con. Apparently it causes the surviving sibling a lot of pain, so I hope something never happens to me. I wouldn't want that to happen to Yusei.

'We're in the west side of the Slums,' comes the reply. 'More specifically, we're in the old ice cream shop.'

I smile and nod. I know exactly where he is. 'Okay. Tell the guy in charge that I'm joining.'

'Unless you can fly, there's no way you can make it in time.'

I stifle a laugh. How unwittingly spot-on he is. 'I'll be there in two minutes.'

'Fine.'

I feel the connection break, like it always does after we finish one of our 'conversations'. I run down the staircase. "Bye Martha! See you some time!" Now, it's time to get to the tournament in the two minutes I said I would.

Sure enough, two minutes later, I land in the alley next to the old shop. I made sure no one saw me on the way over here, due to a cloaking spell, but I can't exactly take it off in front or in the shop. There's a crowd of people there. I worm my way into the shop.

"You must be Sky," a young man, maybe only a few years older than me says. "I'm Kyle, the leader of the tournament. Your brother said you were just running late."

"Yeah, I had to make sure my Deck was in order," I reply. "Now, should the tournament start now?"

Kyle nods. "All of the competitors are here."

Yusei's Life Points: 200, Sky's Life Points: 700

It's the final round of the tournament. I've managed to clear Yusei's field, and with Pyrus Delta Dragonoid at 2100 Attack Points, I'm set to win the Duel. "End this Duel! Pyrus Delta Dragonoid, attack—"

The door to the shop bursts open mid-sentence, and I spin around. From the green headbands all of the intruders are wearing, I know they're from the Duel Gang that controls this area, Team Emerald. There are only four members here, but that's enough to scare everyone out. Well, everyone except me, Yusei, Jack, Crow, and some other teen that seems awfully familiar. Just where have I seen someone with icy-blue hair and golden eyes before?

"Hey!" the tallest Duel Gang member says. "None of you asked for permission to have this tournament on our turf. I suggest leaving, before we take your Decks as payment to leave."

I fold my arms in my best 'as if' pose. "We don't take orders from you."

The other three Gang members share glances among themselves, and while I can't read minds, I'm pretty sure they were all thinking that I shouldn't have done that. The tall member, though, his face flares with anger. "How dare you speak to me like that?!"

'Sky,' Yusei warns, 'I don't think making him angry is a good idea.'

I shrug, meaning it towards both Yusei and the Duel Gang member. "I dunno, but you don't scare me."

"That's it!" the guy is really ticked off right now. "I challenge you to a Duel! I win, your cards and those other four kids' cards are mine!" He points to my three friends and the familiar stranger with them as he says this.

Jack steps forward, "No you don't!"

"I've got this Jack," I say to the blonde, then turn back to the Duel Gang member. "Okay, and if I win…" What would be a fitting punishment for a Duel Gang? Oh, that's right… "You and your Duel Gang lose control of this part of Satellite."

The guy smirks, like he's the one with the better deal and the one that's going to win the Duel. "Hah! I'd like to see you try! I accept the terms of the Duel. But, it's going to have to be with Duel Disks, not some cruddy placemat."

"No problem." I pull out my Duel Disk from my ever-present backpack. My Duel Disk is always in my bag unless I'm using it. Easy access in case something like this happened. "Let's do this thing!"

To be continued…

Yusei: And now the chapter is done.

He says this just as I walk in

Crow: Bored with your game already?

Me: Nah, I just got stuck on a part. I meant to type the chapter, but I see it's already done. Oh, please review. I am open to flames!

Me: *Runs back in* Oh good, you finished. Thanks Yusei!

Yusei: What was it that you had to do?

Me: *Ignores question* So, do you think this chapter was a good redo?

Sky: Yeah. It was written much better than the old version.

Me: Chalk it up to me being a sixth grader when I started writing this. Anyways, I'd love to hear what you thought about this version of chapter four! And, like before, I'm still open to flames.
