Chapter 6: Jade Insect Whistle
-ooo-
In the North Food court of the mega mall, Aaron was talking about stuff with the gang.
Christina then replied, "After you won the DDM World Championship in Los Vegas, you came back here and then a week later, Industal Illuisons suprised with all of these brand new cards for you to use."
Aaron then replied, "That is right, my friends. I already won a trophy, a golden DDM game board and many other trinkets, but seeing these cards made my day for quite a while."
Austin then replied, "You are so damn lucky to get such a collection of rare cards to use, Aaron. Very cool."
Aaron then replied, "Damn right, bud. These cards are the only ones out there right now and they are rare and they would cost about $50,000 for the whole set in mint condition!"
"Damn thats some good money.", Christina commented.
After the duel had ended, Shade followed them to the food court and was drinking a cup full of Pepsi and he smiled evily and replied, "Thats some good money for some decent cards. I can't wait to tell everyone this soon!"
Kelly then replied, "Awesome cards and your deck is darn good as well."
"I know, I know.", Aaron said with a smile.
Kelly checked her watch and replied, "Another Train back to the first station leaves in about 25 minutes, gang."
Christina then replied, "That would be a our time to go."
Aaron then replied, "I need to call my parents anyway. See you all later."
They all got up and left and back at his table, Shade was writing down stuff with a notebook and pen he bought at the dollar store nearby and he smiled and replied, "Need to head back to the lair. My dad would love this duel."
He drank the rest of his soda and he got up and threw the cup away as he walked away from the area.
-ooo-
Later that night, he was talking to his father about his day.
Slade then replied, "So, how was the day there?"
Shade then replied, "Pretty damn good, dad. It is a awesome dueling and DDM store. I'm glad you allowed me to go!"
Slade then replied, "Not a problem at all, son. Get any info?"
He took out a notebook and he repleid, "The first few pages will have alot of good stuff in it, dad."
He took it and opened it up and he began to read it and he replied, "Intresting stuff, son. So this girl Christina wants to be a awesome fire duelist and has alot of rare fire monster at her use?"
"Yea, pretty much."
He continued to read it and he replied, "So, she dueled some kid that a rare one of a kind set of cool cards that is worth quite alot of money if sold as a set?"
"Yep. They're cool cards and are worth alot of dough, dad."
Shade slid the notebook back to his son and he replied, "That is some good information, son. Well done. Any word from Bulldog?"
He smiled evily and replied, "He's still a huge wreck. He doesn't know that Zander has the best deck ever and he'll be crushed big time by his deck, dad."
Shade smiled and replied, "His loss, I guess. He'll never beat him, dad. Zander is our better duelist and has a wonderful great deck at his use, dad. He'll be smoked, crushed, and smashed."
Slade then replied, "I Can't wait to see that happen, dad. I can't wait."
Shade nodded and replied, "Yep. You should head to bed now, son. Its late and you need all the sleep you can get, son."
Slade the replied, "Good point. I'll see you later, dad."
As he left, Shade sighed sadly and replied, "I only wished your mother was still alive to be here for us, son."
What happened was a tragedy. Before he started the gang, his wife Sandra was killed in a car crash on a busy highway in Minneapolis and it was caused by a drunk driver going down the wrong way. The drunk man was killed as well and he was the only one in the car at the time. After the funeral, Shade (When his real name was known at the time went into a deep depression and threatnened to kill himself twice before a retired gang member offered him and his son in a postion of the gang. Since that day, Him and Slade were the best ones they had.
-ooo-
That next day at the park, Christina and Kelly were talking to Ginny about the day they had.
Ginny then replied, "So what happened Yesterday, girls?"
Kelly then replied, "We went to the new dueling store at the mega mall and soon after, Christina got challenged to a duel by a duelist that used alot of cards based on the Dungeon Dice Monsters game."
Ginny then replied, "That game? cool."
"Is it still popular to this day over there?", Christina asked.
Ginny nodded and replied, "Other then duel monsters, its a very popular game in my days. More kinds of pieces and monsters were released for it and its been getting more and more fun."
Kelly nodded and replied, "Cool. Where were you yesterday?"
Ginny then replied, "Me and my folks went up to St. Cloud for some shopping and supper. We came back last night."
Christina then replied, "Cool. Glad you enjoyed it."
Ginny then replied, "About you wanted me to find out, Christina. My family should know something in about 5 more days. This is hard work and complicated."
Christina then replied, "Thank you so much for all of this, girl."
Ginny nodded and replied, "Anything for my friends. Anything."
Suddenly, the saw a teenaged girl with blonde hair, glasses, a white shirt and blue jeans chasing after a couple of butterflys with a net.
Ginny then replied, "Who is she?"
Kelly then replied, "That would be Tiffany. She loves the insect world and she studies them day and night like her parents do. Both are talented scientists and they all study together at the Unniversity of Minnesota. Her parents are teachers there."
The girl took a swipe and the two insects flew away quickly and she sighed and repleid, "Rats, I needed them little guys."
The girls got up and walked over to her and Christina replied, "Hey, Tiffany."
She turned to them and replied, "Hey ladies."
Ginny then replied, "I just moved in a while back and I'm Ginny."
Tiffany smiled and replied, "Any friends of theirs is one of mine too. I'm Tiffany Benton."
Christina then replied, "Caught any cool bugs lately?"
Tiffany nodded and replied, "Quite a few actually."
Kelly smiled and replied, "Do you want a duel with us after supper in this park later today?"
Tiffany then replied, "Sounds good to me. I got some new cards and I want to use them to smash you up!"
Kelly nodded and replied, "See you later then."
As the girls began to leave, Tiffany smiled and replied, "Wait to you see the powerful and most beautiful cards I have in my deck, Kelly."
-ooo-
A few hours later, the girls were waiting for Tiffany to show up.
Ginny then replied, "What does this girl use in a deck?"
Christina then replied, "Alot of the stuff she studies, Ginny. He parents are big time bug scientists and they want to be the best in the world."
Kelly then replied, "Come on girl, I'm waiting for you."
Suddenly, they saw here with a duel disk on her arm riding on a bike and she was wearing a white lab coat and black pants.
Christina then replied, "Cool."
She stopped the bike got off and she walked over to Kelly and replied, "Ready for a tough duel, girl?"
Kelly then replied, "Sure am!"

"My Silver Dragonfly can be used as two tributes for a insect monster, so I offer it to summon my Metal Armored Bug!"
As the dragon flew away, a large armored bug appeared with a screech (ATK: 2,800).
Kelly groaned and replied, "I have nothing else to use this turn. Go for the win!"
"It was a fun duel. Metal Armored Bug, attack!"
the huge bug charged in and crushed the Unicorn to pieces with its body (Kelly LP: 650 - 0).
Ginny then replied, "Unreal."
Christina sighed and replied, "She lost the duel?"
Kelly smiled and replied, "I had a good duel with you. Thank for a fun duel, Tiffany."
The insect duelist smiled and replied, "Likewise, Kelly. I gotta go. See you again another time."
She walked to her bike and got on it and she rode away and Kelly stared at her friends and replied, "Want to get a snack at mcdonalds, ladies?"
The two nodded to her as they began to leave the park as well.
