"That was such a disappointment!" I shouted, crossing my arms, "The Professor hardly tried! Koda was…he's a weirdo! Just let me duel next, God!"

"Ms. Witen." An employee asked as I raised my hand lazily, "Someone is on the phone for you." I nodded and walked past Yusei, but before that, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and running to where the employee was pointing at; the phone booth. I went over and answered. This kissing thing is becoming a habit...it's nothing serious!

"Hello, Cristina speakin', how may I help yo-"

"I got your suit and runner ready!" The loud voice shouted as I smiled and jumped up and down and Yusei looked on in confusion, 'I'll be there in an hour. See ya." I smiled and looked at Yusei.

"I'm getting my duel runner back; finally." I said, and latched my arm with his, "now, it's my turn to duel! Wish me luck!"

"Good luck; I know that you will win!" Yusei said, giving me a wink and thumbs up. I giggled and ran out of the room to the platform that I am going to be on. Across from me, there was a girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She had on a black lotia dress, and a pair of fake bunny ears. She had red stockings and brown flats.

"Uh…good luck." I said as she looked over and nodded.


Yusei's Pov~

I sat down on the blue couch and stared at the TV. I finally get to see Cristina fight. I sighed and touched my cheek once again where she kissed me; this is becoming a habit that I didn't mind.

"Welcome back, Ladies and Gentleman! The next round is about to begin. A cat fight is about to erupt! Now entering the arena, the goddess among humans, the girl with power, Queen of Fire, Pyro-girl, its Cristina Yumeko Witen!" The announcer said as I raised an eyebrow in confusion; why do I have a feeling she will want to kill the announcer? The platform raised and there was she, covering her eyes and gasped at the crowds of people before waving her arms crazy at someone; probably Leo and Luna. She had a black and red duel disk and she…she started to move her hips…? Is she dancing? Oh, god, she is.

"Her lovely opponent will be the master of innocent, a delicate flower, a seductive-"

"Get on with it!" Cristina yelled, shaking her fist at the announcer.

"U-uh, it's Jennifer Hareun!" He said in a nervous tone as a girl appeared in a dress and had…bunny ears? And I thought Cristina was slightly odd….she kept on mentioning her butcher knife… She had a bright smile and blew kisses through the crowd…

"Good luck-"

"Don't be crying when I beat you." Jennifer jeered as I raised an eyebrow.

"…All right, Bring it on!" Cristina yelled back with a glare that made me a little startled; something changed about her. There was no more the immature, cute Cristina no more; there was a fierce warrior ready for battle…did I really say cute?

"The claws are already out-"

"Let's duel!" They both said, activating their duel disks.

"I'm going first!" Jennifer said with a smirk and got out a card, currently holding 6 cards in her hands, "If you don't mind." {This...duel will be stupid; please forgive me!"}

"Of course not; I'm going to wipe the floor with you anyways." Cristina said with a shrug.

"Cocky… I'm starting by summoning Bio-Mage (1150/1000), Clear Effector(0/?). You're lucky this round 'cause I end my move." Jennifer said as Cristina smirked and looked through her cards.

"Ooh, violence, how scary." Cristina teased before drawing a card, "I summon Flamvell Baby(800/200) in attack mode and Arcane Apprentice(1000/400) in attack mode. I then sacrifice both of them to syncrho summon Ancient Flamvell Deity(2500/200) in attack mode!" A large thing on fire appeared as I gasped in shock. I thought Cristina would have picked something more…nicer. "I then put 2 cards down. Now, Ancient Flamvell Deity, attack her puny mage with raging claws!" The monster howled before going after Bio-Mage; Bio-Mage was crushed. Cristina- 4000; Jennifer- 2650. "I put down Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) and it deals 500 points of damage after I'm done, but I put down in total of five face-downs; and I am now." Cristina- 4000; Jennifer- 2150. She only has…2 card

"Look at this ladies and gentleman, Fire against fairy, good vs. evil-"

"Fire isn't evil!" Cristina called out.

"Fine, my turn! I summon two Buten(200/300) in attack mode, but I'm not done yet! I sacrifice all my monsters to Synchro summon Arcana Force EX – The Dark Ruler (4000/4000)! I activate its special ability! Now a coin appears and heads or tails will determine your judgement." She called out as I saw Cristina's eyes widen and I looked on in worry. It landed on tails, "I'll take of that punk dragon. Dark Ruler, take out Solar Flare Dragon!" The Dark Ruler roared before going after Solar Flare Dragon.

"I activate my trap card, Solomon Judgment! It stops your monster's attack as I give up half my life points." Cristina said as my eyes widen; that's a risky move. Cristina- 2000; Jennifer- 2150. Cristina has three cards now.

"I really didn't want to use this, but I have no choice, but to use this…I activate my trap cards, Royal Decree, Aegis of Gaia, Aqua Chrous, and BackFire, but I send all of them to the graveyard." Cristina said as I was shocked; those were all good cards, why? The crowd gasped too.

"I can't believe it ladies and gentleman, Cristina had given up all her cards, good ones, and put them to the grave." The announcer said in a chock voice.

"Your friend is pretty dumb doing that." Greiger said as I smirked and crossed my arms.

"She's planning something, I know it." I said to him as he raised an eyebrow.

"I then add in Battle-Scarred to the field and send it to the graveyard!" Cristina said, only having 2 cards left.

"Is that all?" Jennifer mocked as Cristina smirked. What are you planning behind those brown hazel eyes...?

"Of course not, I'll show you how I earned the title of the Queen of Fire! I summon the one and only... Uria, Lord of Searing Flames(0/0)!" I gasped; she has that card! I heard a loud roar as the dragon in red, in all its glory, came from the sky and went in front of Cristina before bowing its head. I saw her briefly touch its head, whispering something before it went by her side… She has that card? I never knew she had a powerful card like that! It's...shocking...

"…that's all? My monster is still stronger-"

"I'm not done yet, sheesh!" Cristina complained and smirked, "Uria has a special ability, actually. It gets 1000 attack points each continuous spell I have in my graveyard, which is um…5-"

"So, it actually has 5000 attack points, but let's not stop there! I activate Molten Destruction that gives all fire type monsters an additional 500 points. Uria (5500/0) is a capable of…incinerating you're Fairy… Now, go Uria, use Hyper Blaze and bring this Dark Ruler to their knees!" Uria roared before using Hyper Blaze and crushing Arcana. Cristina- 2100; Jennifer-650.

"I had enough! I draw and summon Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle(300/300) and use the spell card Angel Bow, which can make a direct attack." She said as Cristina frowned a little; I winced as I saw Cristina get a direct hit. Cristina- 1800; Jennifer- 650. "I end my turn with a face down."

"All right, my turn again. I draw and summon Emperor of Flames(500/950) in attack mode…Now Emperor, attack the Ruby Carbuncle-"

"Not so fast, I activate my spell card, Heaven's Judgment to get a-what are you laughing about?" Jennifer demanded as Cristina laughed.

"I forgot to mention something about Uria's special ability, my fault. Once per turn, I can destroy any trap or spell card on your field, so Emperor, take care of that Ruby." Ruby Carbuncle exploded. Cristina- 1800; Jennifer- 450. "I had fun, Jenn, I really did…but it's time to end this. Uria, attack Jennifer directly with Hyper Blaze!" Uria roared and shoot a large flame at Jennifer as her LP went to zero. "Whoo! That's game right there!" The crowd cheered loudly as Cristina blinked in surprise and shyly waved at everyone before walking over to Jennifer and helping her up.

"Look at that, Ladies and Gentleman! Cristina had taken out Jennifer and will be going to the Quarter Finals! Such an amazing battle, but so short! We can expect a lot more surprises from Cristina in the next round!" Cristina walked down the steps to where we were.


Cristina's Pov~

I waved goodbye to Jennifer as she went into the crowd in the arena as I sighed. I saw Yusei and brighten; I jogged towards him.

"How did I do? How did I do?" I asked as he smiled.

"You did really well." He said as I grinned and hugged him and I felt him tense; aww, he's so cute! I slowly felt arms wrap around my waist and I smiled. "But, you did get me scared there when you didn't end the battle quickly." I pulled away and rolled my eyes.

"I like prolong duels; makes the excitement burst." I said as he sighed, "So, you're versing Greiger?"

"Yep, in a turbo duel, maybe." He said as I nodded.

"That must be exciting…Hey, lets go watch the other duels!" I said and pulled his hand over to the couch.


~~Skip~~

"Finally, now, onto the Quarter Final-"

"We have a special announcement!" Announcer man said as I groaned, "Yes! The rumors you heard are true! Listen up first round losers!" Not nicee… "Don't head for the exits just yet! Rex Goodwin, our master of ceremony, has set up a loser's bracket for the first round! That means if you lost, grab your deck because you might get a second chance to duel again!" I smiled; Leo is probably jumping for joy now, I saw that Yusei was looking at the tower where Godwin is and I couldn't blame him; it was a little suspicious…

"Now, sit in your seats and let's gets started! We are going to pick two random opponents and trust me, it's really random…First off is…Everyone's favorite green-haired girl," Oh no…not good, "She's fast, she's feisty, and she's has to be home before her bedtime! Give it up, for the next generation of dueling superstars…ladies and gentleman! I present to you…Miss Luna!" Announcer said as I put my hands over my mouth and growled.

"God, I'm really going to kill that Goodwin guy!" I growled as Yusei raised an eyebrow, "Luna didn't want to duel…they must have found out that Luna didn't battle Greiger and now, she HAS to duel…so stupid…I really need a-"

"Butcher knife?"

"How'd you know?" I asked as he smirked and shrugged, "I can't believe that she's dueling though."

"I guess they got the right kid for the match, huh? You know, by the end of the duel we had, I didn't think the boy was half-bad… I can't wait to see what his sister got." Greiger said and walked away…

"She can't duel…" I said as Yusei turned to face me.

"What do you mean? She's a fine duelist, right?" Yusei asked as I nodded.

"She is, but…weird things happen to her while she duels…she can see duel spirits like I can, but she sees them more frequent." I told him calmly.

"Are you serious?"

"Like a heart attack!"

"…That's a terrible thing to compare with." He said as I shrugged and looked at the screen.

"Now entering the arena, the little duelist who could, the pint-size prodigy, Luna!" Announcer man said as she strapped on her duel disk and smiled at the screen, " And now, her opponent, the Dean of the deck, the brain of the game, the professor!" His face showed up in the large orb screen, "He's got a PhD in psychology, hypnology, and duelology! So Luna better look out." PhD in hypnology AND psychology…that's freaky; and he lost? Smoke appeared and the professor came from it as it cleared. He walked a few paces towards Luna before bowing, and they had small talk.

"Now, let's get dueling." Announcer man said as the lights and the darkness stopped,, "Remember, only the winner advances; the loser is out for good."

"Let's duel!" They both said as I cheered on Luna.

"You can do it baby girl; kick that PhD loser outta here!" I yelled, pumping my fist in the air.


I apologize for no adding the duels, but...I am a lazy person not to mention that the battle I made was terrible; please, positive feedback or tips to make this a better story
