Note: I may have said I would use Number monsters in this story, but I decided they will not appear in this story at all, but I am planning on making a story called "The Hunter" and I hope to have it up by this summer or early spring and yes, the number monsters will be used. With that settled, on with the show.

Later that night, Maris was explaining everything to Zander and Bulldog in the cafe area. Slade and Shade had already gone to sleep."
Zander sighed and replied, "So he was arrested and you broke those handcuffs off your hands and got away?"
Maris then replied, "Yes, thats about it."
Zander then replied, "I hate to admit, but al least you didn't get captured too, Maris."
Bulldog then replied, "So, you got his deck and disk."
"Yep. I have a few ideas to make a fun to use deck. Can I use it? My deck I have now sucks big time."
Bulldog nodded and replied, "That shouldn't be a problem. Get some rest and then tomorrow, redo the deck and use it again."
Maris nodded and replied, "I will do that."
He got up and quickly left the room and Zander then replied, "You're reporting this to our boss, right?"
Bulldog then replied, "I have to, Zander. Our leader has a right to know about what happens with his members, silly."
Zander then replied, "Sounds good."

Christina then replied, "At least he got one of them."
Lucas then replied, "The less of them losers in the city, the better we are!"
"I agree with that one big time, dad."
-ooo-
At her house, Kelly was going over her deck before her duel with the chef.
She smiled and replied, "I may have lost a duel with this deck, but I can bounce back and kick some ass in this deck. My Unicorn Army deck is the best deck I ever made and I can't wait to use it against this chef."
She heard a knocking and she smiled and replied, "Come on in!"
The door opened up and her dad came in and replied, "Ready for your duel tonight, honey?"
"I sure am. My Unicorn army is ready to go and its going to be a fun duel!"
He took a card from his pocket and replied, "This card will improve it a little bit."

Her dad smiled back and replied, "This will be a good duel."

Back at the lair, Bulldog was talking to Shade and Slade about what happened the night before.
Shade then replied, "So R.J. was arrested and Maris escaped with his deck and disk."
Bulldog nodded and replied, "Yes, sir."
"Not a big deal. Maris goes no punishment for escaping and using R.J's cards and stuff. Make sure everyone knows to leave him alone about this too, Bulldog."
He saluted and replied, "Yes, sir."
He turned around and left and Shade then replied, "I don't feel bad for R.J. at all. He was always a cocky little bastard and time behind bars will help him."
Slade nodded and replied, "Its a good idea, dad. I never like him at all either."
Suddenly, they heard knocking and Shade replied, "Come on in!"
Suddenly, the door opened up and Sledge was there with a book in his arms and Slade replied, "Can we help you, Sledge?"
Sledge then replied, "This book might help you, sir!"
He sat the book on the desk and it was called Shadows of the Past and Shade nodded and replied, "This might help us, Sledge. What do I do with it, study?"
Sledge the replied, "We found somesort of relic in our storage area about how to opened up the Shadow Realm and grab duelists there to serve and help us!"
Shade then replied, "Wow. Find it and get it to my office as soon as you can and if Reggie asks why you want in, just say it was a direct order from me, Sledge."
Sledge nodded and replied, "Will do, sir. Will do."
He left and shut the door and Slade replied, "Are you sure we can control these duelists as if they were our own, dad?"
Shade nodded and replied, "It shouldn't be a problem for us, son. Extra help will be useful around here."
Slade sighed and replied, "Lets hope so, dad."
-ooo-
Later on that day, the gang was inside of the waiting area of the steakhouse. It had 2 floors, alot of room for parties and private gatherings. Also, it had a small dueling arena in the middle of the first floors dining arena.

Kelly then replied, "I'll win us all a great meal!"
Robert stared at her daughter and replied, "We all believe in you, honey."
Nancy smiled and replied, "I do too, big sister!"
Ginny then replied, "Your Unicorn army will smash any deck they face."
She as she walked up to the server at the booth and replied, "Can I help you, young lady?"
Kelly smiled and replied, "I want to challenge your head chef to a duel for a meal for me and my friends I brought!"
They all raised their hand and he smiled and replied, "You are a lucky girl. He only accepts two challenges a day and we had a 2nd duel reserved today, but that person chickened out and didn't want to do it. Our head chef is currently 18-0 in duels so far. So, you want to challenge him still?"
Kelly laughed and replied, "You better believe I do! Let the duel begin soon!"
He nodded and replied, "I'm Chester and I'll get Chef Tim to come on out and start a duel with you. We offer the people of your family watching the duel drinks and snacks as well."
Kelly then replied, "Sounds good."
He got from his stand and walked towards the kitchen and Christina replied, "What a record this guy has."
Lucas then replied, "She'll have no trouble winning a duel against him, honey."
Ashley then replied, "You'll do fine, Kelly."
As they head towards the dining room, they didn't know that Sledge came to the steakhouse for a meal after Shade gave him the day off and he smiled and replied, "This might be a intresting duel to watch."

About 10 minutes later, the gang was at the big table and Kelly was standing on the right side of the arena, waiting for the chef.
Ginny looked around and replied, "Where is this guy?"
Christina then replied, "Don't know, girl."
Suddenly, Chester walked into the middle of the arena and he turned on the microphone and replied, "Are we ready for a...AWESOME DUEL?"
Everyone cheered and Chester laughed and replied, "I was hoping so! Chef Tim has a challenge today and her name is Kelly Novak!"
The crowd cheered and replied, "Can he actually beat our beloved duelist? Lets see! He's the master chef of this beautiful steakhouse and has one 18 in a row as of today and he's Chef Tim Meadowson!"
The crowd cheered as the kitchen doors opened up and a tall middle-aged man with a well shaven face walked into the arena and he wore a black chefs outfit and he replied, "You all ready for me to cook this girl?"
Everyone (Except for Kelly's group) cheered and he walked into the arena and stood across from Kelly and he replied, "You ready for this, Kelly? I'm a hard to beat guy."

"Golem, attack!"
The giant launched another ball of hot cheese and it shot out and covered the dark beast-warrior and it howled in pain before the hot cheese melted the Synchro into a blackened pile of hot cheese (Kelly LP: 5500 - 4800) and she smiled and replied, "Time to weaken your monster!"
Chef Tim smiled as well and replied, "If a monster equipped with Spell Spice - Nutmeg is targeted by a card effect, I can destroy the equip to negate the card effect and banish it!"
Suddenly, as the equip card shattered to little bits, Kelly took her Blue Sirius and banished the monster and then he replied, "Oyster Meister, attack!"
The odd creature swung his arm and a oyster shell flew in like a boomerang and a Hyena appeared on the card (DEF: 300) andit struck the small canine, cutting the small beast in twain and as the pieces shattered into little bits and the shell returned to the creature, 2 more facedown monsters appeared.
The chef smiled and replied, "Take that! I end my turn now."
Moments later, the red pepper flakes blew away (ATK: 2800 - 2,700)
Kelly drew a card and replied, "I tribute both of my monsters to summon my Behemoth, The King of all Animals!"
As both of the facedown monsters vanished, a huge purple-skinned beast appeared with a loud snarl (ATK: 2,700).
"Now, I get 2 beast monsters from my graveyard!"
She took her Sunlight Unicorn and Super-Nimble Mega Hamster and added both to his hand.
Ginny then replied, "She has the upper hand again!"
"Now, attack his Golem!"
The huge beast swung his paw and it struck the ground and a huge shockwave began and the huge golem burst into a globs of gooey cheese that flew eveywhere (Chef Tim LP: 5850 - 5450).
Kelly smiled and replied, "Take that! I end my turn now."
Chef Tim drew a card and replied, "I"ll switch my oyster to defense postion and then I'll set a new monster facedown and 1 card facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Kelly drew a card and replied, "I'm bringing back my Sunlight Unicorn!"
As she sat the card down, the beautiful unicorn appeared for the 3rd time (ATK: 1,800).
"Lets check the top card!"
He checked the top and sighed as it was only a Mine Mole and she placed the card on the bottom and replied, "Damn it. Sunlight Unicorn, attack!"
The Unicorn charged in and stabbed with her horn, blasting the oyster into little pieces.
"Behemoth, attack!"
He went in and a Magician of Faith appeared on the card (DEF: 400) and the mighty beast smashed with its giant paw, crushing the spellcaster flat as a pancake and he took a spell card and added it to his hand.
"Okay then. I'll set a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Chef Tim drew a card and replied, "I activate my facedown Conscription!"
The trap appeared.
Ginny then replied, "Its one of those take a chance traps!"
Christina then replied, "Lets how is luck is!"
"With this card, We'll check the top card of your deck and if its a monster that can be normal summoned, I get it on my side of the field and if its not, you get to add it to your hand!"
Kelly flipped the top card up and he showed to him and it was a Trojan Horse!
Christina then replied, "Lucky."
Suddenly, a wooden horse appeared on his side of the field (ATK; 1,000).
Ginny then replied, "He did luck out on that one."
"I now tribute my horse for my Monsturnip!"
As the wooden horse vanished, a huge turnip with legs appeared and its weapons were a bunch of roots that were like whips (ATK: 2,450).
Christina then replied, "Whoa."
Lucas then replied, "What a duel this has been already."
"I use the card I got back and its my Spell Spice - Red Pepper!"
Suddenly, the flakes appeared once more (ATK: 2,700 - 2,400 - (ATK: 2,450 - 2,750).
"My monster cannot attack directly, but it can attack twice! Attack!"
The huge plant shot its tentacles out and struck with it, blowing Sunlight Unicorn and Behemoth to little pieces (Kelly LP: 4800 - 3500).
Chef Tim smiled and replied, "There you go. I end my turn now."
Kelly drew a card and replied, "I discard my level 1 Key Mouse to special summon my Egotistical Ape!"
As she discarded the card, the shadowy ape appeared (ATK: 1,200).
"Its level is now 4. Now I special summon my D.D. Unicorn Knight since I have a tuner and you have a monster!"
Suddenly, the beastly knight appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"I now tune both of my monsters together!"
The shadowy ape let out a holler as it split apart into four white stars, with each one transforming into a green virtual ring. The two rings went through D.D. Unicorn Knight, which turned into four white stars. As this process occurred, Kelly clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and began to chant:
"Galloping in the heavens like thunder, going through the pitch-black sky, this lightning will strike the Earth and incinerate it. Synchro Summon! Shine, Lightning Tricorn!"
As she sat the card down, the mighty unicorn appeared (ATK: 2,800).
Christina then replied, "Yea, boy!"
Robert then replied, "Good job, Kelly!"
"Now, attack his Monsturnip!"
The huge beast began to glow as it launched a huge burst of electricity and it shot out and struck the huge vegetable and it let out a quiet moan before it dissolved into particles of light (Chef Tim LP: 5450 - 5100).
Kelly smiled and replied, "Take that! I end my turn now."
Chef Tim drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Kelly drew a card and replied, "Lets summon..Another Beast Striker!"
As she sat the card down, the beast-warrior appeared (ATK: 1,850).
"Lets do it. Beast Striker, attack!"
The beast-warrior went in and a Morphing Jar appeared on the card (DEF: 600) And was smashed to pieces by the hammer and both discarded their current hands and drew 5 cards and then Kelly replied, "Tricorn, direct attack!"
The huge beast began to glow and then it launched a huge burst of electricity and it shot out and struck the chef (Chef Tim LP: 5100 - 2300) and then he groaned and replied, "I activate Damage Condensor!"
As he discarded a Curry Chef to his graveyard and then oddly enought, a Neo Aqua Madoor appeared (ATK: 1,200).
"I end my turn now."
Ginny then replied, "Why he'd summon that thing for?"
Nancy then replied, "Maybe to protect his lifepoints maybe?"
Christina then replied, "He's up to something."
Chef Tim drew a card and replied, "I summon my Cherry Inmato!"
As he sat the card down, a small tomato-like creature wearing a nightgown appeared (ATK: 700).
"I now tune my 2 monsters together!"
The small tomato creature began to glow as it split into 2 white stars, which turned into green rings. The rings went through the icy spellcaster, which turned into 6 white stars.
"I Synchro Summon...Ghost Chili Dragon!"
As he sat the card down, a huge dragon with bright-red skin appeared (ATK: 2,800).
Nancy then replied, "Whoa baby."
Ginny then replied, "She may be in trouble now."
"I use his ability to half the ATK of one monster on the field!"
Suddenly, the unicorn turned red (ATK: 2,800 - 1,400).
"Lets do it. Attack her Synchro!"
The dragon let out a huge burst of hot flames and they shout out and incinerated the mighty steed quickly (Kelly LP: 3500 - 2100) and then Thunder Unicorn appeared (ATK: 2,200).
"I see. I end my turn now."
Kelly drew a card and replied, "I'll use my unicorns ability to weaken your dragon!"
The steeds horn began to glow.
Chef Tim smiled and replied, "You won't be doing that this turn. I activate Breakthrough Skill to negate your monsters effect!"
Kelly then replied, "Damn it. I'll switch my 2 monsters into defense postion and then I'll set a couple of cards facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Chef Tim drew a card and replied, "I summon my Great Angus!"
As he sat the card down, a fiery tusked beast appeared with a snarl (ATK: 1,800).
"Lets do it. Ghost Chili Dragon, attack!"
The dragon let out a burst of flames and the mighty steed was burnt to a crisp as the flames got to much for it.
"Great Angus, attack!"
The mighty beast charged in and headbutted the beast-warrior, blowing it to pieces and then Kelly quickly replied, "I activate Soul Rope! I pay 1000 lifepoints to bring out a monster from my deck!"
As she glowed (Kelly LP: 2100 - 1100), a 2nd Vorse Raider appeared (ATK: 1,900).
"Okay...then. I end my turn now."
Kelly drew a card and replied, "I now banish 1 more spell card to summon my 2nd Monoceros!"
As she banished a Mage Power from her hand, the unicorn-like beast appeared (ATK: 1,000).
"I now play Fiend's Sanctuary!"
Suddenly, a beady token appeared (ATK: 3,000).
"I now activate The Transmigration Prophecy! Return your trap and your Monsturnip!"
He took the two cards and shuffled them back into his deck and then she replied, "I now tribute my 3 monster to summon the rarest card I own!"
As the 3 monsters began to glow and then simply vanished, a huge beastly creature appeared and it held a spear for a weapon (ATK: 3,000).
"Meet the mighty Beast King Barbaros!"
Christina then replied, "Whoa, baby."
Nancy smiled and replied, "She got that card to use last christmas from me and daddy!"
"Sicne I used 3 tributes on it, all of your cards are destroyed!"
The mighty beast-warrior roared as it jammed its spear into the ground and a huge shockwave shot out and blasted both of Chef Tim's monsters into fragments and then chef sighed and replied, "You are a great duelist and you and your friends & family deserve the good meal."
Kelly nodded and replied, "Thank you. Now, attack him directly!"
Barbaros charged in and stabbed Tim in the chest (Chef Tim LP: 2300 - 0).
Everyone in the crowd cheered for her.
Nancy then replied, "Yea, sis!"
Chester laughed and replied, "The winner of this duel is...Kelly!"
The crowd cheered again.
Chef Tim walked up to her and replied, "You're now allowed into the VIP room for your meal. You're all the first ones to ever step foot in the room."
As they all got up and followed him into the, Sledge got up from his table and he replied, "Both of them have such rare cards. Our beasts will need to keep an eye on both of them."
