I'm sorry for the delay, I was having a bad homesick week last week and hopefully I will get back on track. So this is Volume 5 Remembrance Day which begins now! Hope you like.
Chapter 1
Remembrance Day
Friday, November 11th, 2011
Regan woke to somebody banging on the door. She slightly opened her eyes and saw Mai throw something at the door, but she didn't know what it was. Only that it made a loud sound.
"Shut up! Some people are trying to sleep passed seven in the morning!" Mai shouted at the person banging on the door.
"But the first round of today is posted." Joey shouted back irritated.
"Who cares, it will be on later. None of the games ever start before ten. You of all people should know that."
"Fine then, Kaiba left us a breakfast before leaving and I'm pretty sure Tristan and I can finish it off by ourselves. No need to waste such good food." Joey said slyly perking up their attention.
"Joey, you touch our share of the food, your body will never be found!" Téa screamed through the door.
"Nyeh!"
Mai, Téa and Regan all got up out of their warm beds for the heaven that awaited them outside of the door. Regan got dress as she thought where her brother had gone off too. She shrugged inwardly. Whatever he was up to, she knew he could handle himself. Especially, since she heard Mokuba protecting the girls food and he wouldn't be used against Seto while he was out. The three girls all walked out and found their food being held by Atem, Joey, and Yugi with a smile in their faces.
"Good morning girls."
"What the?" Regan asked for the three of them.
"Surprise, we thought that we do something special so we got your food ready." Yugi said.
"And we changed your clock so it was an hour behind and let you sleep in." Joey said proudly.
"And we figured that such a thing was a good way to start the first day of the match ups." Atem finished.
The three girls looked at each other, nodded and then back to the boys. "What do you want?" They asked together, though their eye contact was mostly towards Joey.
"What are you looking at me for?" Joey asked, but Mai just glared. "Alright, it's that I know who Mai is up against."
Regan recognized a tone that she didn't expect to come out of Joey. "Is it Jacob?"
Joey nodded. "Mai, just do everyone a favor and be careful."
Mai smirked. "Aw, and here I thought it was something petty. Alright I'll be careful, just don't do something stupid."
Joey smiled. "Since when would I do something stupid?"
Nobody answered and the three girls took their plates from the guys.
Regan followed Yugi to the couch and sat next to him. "So do you know who you're against?"
"I'm against Doyle Foster."
"That means we passed the Band challenge."
"Yes we did, and the results should be popping up on the screen next." Yugi answered and Regan turned to the TV. "We came out late so the matching for the morning games we didn't get to see and I didn't see who you were against."
Regan nodded and watched the screen flip over the results. As Regan read over them, she realized that they didn't place them in an order except for the ones who went onto the next level and who didn't. "Who is Seto against?" Yugi didn't answer. Regan turned to him and noticed he was looking at the arm of the couch like it had just stabbed him. "Yugi?"
"A Dragon Slayer." Yugi barely whispered out loud and her eyes widen in surprise just as he turned to her. "Somehow one got into the tournament."
Regan turned her face towards the food on her plate. She wasn't hungry anymore. "I guess Seto told you to keep me as far from that game as possible."
She felt Yugi wrap his arms around her and set his chin on her shoulder. "Yes, they are having a dancing competition in the casino, but I know you still want to keep an eye out so I came up with an idea."
"You did?"
"You know the stands in the casino we couldn't figure out how to get the floor above?"
"Yea."
"Those are stands for people who want an over view and are only available if you call. Which I did and we have seats up there."
Regan smiled as she set her food down and hugged Yugi. "Thank you."
Yugi chuckled and raised her from his chest. "No problem, but you should eat your food."
"Okay." She agreed and grabbed her food. She started to eat it and Yugi left her on the couch and went back into his room. She looked around and noticed that everyone left the main area. She shrugged and finished her food. When she was done she stood up and looked at the television. The matches switched and she saw her name and followed it to her opponent. She felt the plate fall from her hand and heard it shatter on the coffee table. Without looking away from the screen, she screamed, "YUGI!"
Almost immediately, she heard Yugi opened his door and ran in front of her. "What's wrong?"
"My opponent…" She couldn't finish and turned Yugi around to the matches. "Why him?!"
"What's wrong Yu-" Atem started and then paused as he looked at the screen, "-gi? Is that?"
"Yes," Yugi stated firmly, but she could feel the shock in his aura along with her own.
"What is wrong with you three?" Mai asked.
Regan turned to Mai. "Mai, do you know the story of how I found out I was Seto's and Mokuba's sister?"
"No I was missed out of the loop on that one."
Regan turned Mokuba as he appeared in the room. "Well it's a rather simple one really. Mokuba do you still have the video sequence from Brittney's horror trip?"
"Of course," He answered, but then looked somewhat sad. "Are you sure you want them to see that?"
"It's better for them to see then to listen." She answered.
Mokuba nodded and ran into his room.
"What video?" Serenity asked. "And you're related to Mokuba and Seto?"
Regan nodded. "That man up there that I'm challenging is-"
"My father." Yugi finished. "Kayama Muto."
There was a silence in the room as Mokuba popped back in and threw a CD in the Xbox. Regan didn't want to see it again, so she cleaned up the broken glass as Mokuba started and walked out of the room. It wasn't long before Mokuba came out as well.
"It's a good thing Terry and his family are out." Mokuba sighed.
"Yea," She answered. "Why does it have to be this day that he magically shows himself and just happens to be my opponent?"
"I don't know." Mokuba replied. "Maybe it is just time trying to heal unhealed wounds."
"What I would really like is to know where my mom went off to? Why she came to Canada?"
"Well if her streak is the same as before, she probably knew about this tournament before the invitations were delivered and decided to get a head start just in case you would find out." She nodded but didn't answer as she glared at the floor as her mind to come up with answers. And then Mokuba placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him. "You are probably hoping that she would change her ways after you shouted at her, aren't you?"
Regan nodded again. "I knew her my whole life and now I know that I knew nothing and it was a lie, I'm just hoping that is wasn't a full lie and there was some truth to my old world."
"Well however this turns out; I think that you should move to our house."
"Move to your house?!"
"Yea, be like a proper family. The family that we were supposed to have, plus the house won't be as empty. Besides, it was nice when you came over to see niisama, he wasn't as grouchy from work and he was generally happy. Just like before Gorzaburo threw his life into hatred and anger."
"Seto told me about him. I wish I could have met him so I poke him in the eye with a flamed candlestick."
Mokuba started to laugh.
"What it's true, he was a terrible man and what he did to Seto is unbelievable. If his soul wasn't digitized I would see if I could get Van'Dalgyon to say hello to him."
"What no shadow realm?"
"I don't ever want to send a human soul to the shadow realm." Regan stated with a bit more force than she wanted to place. Mokuba looked worriedly at her. She calmed down a bit. "No matter how evil that human was; I could never do something to a human. Because I know I could be the exact same if I wanted to. No two humans are worth less or more to each other, though some of them should be placed in a hole and buried, while others should be raised to a god standard, no human soul deserves to have such a hell. I'm sure there is a different one a lot less excruciating than the Shadow Realm waiting for them."
"Well I guess it was a good thing that at the end of the virtual world during Battle City, he wasn't human anymore, so if he ever did come back you could send him to the Shadow Realm then."
She just sighed and shook her head. "I'm not sure if I would want him to come back or if that would be a really bad wish. I think that would be bad, but if it does happen and I don't know how to use Shadow Magic, I'll see if Yugi will do the honors for you and Seto. Though I think Atem would do it before I could ask Yugi."
Mokuba laughed. "Yea, Atem doesn't like him very much either."
"I think they should be done with that video… though I wouldn't be surprised if Serenity was crying, do you think you will be able to take care of her?"
Mokuba stood a little taller. "Of course I can."
Regan smirked. "Alright, I'll deal with everyone else since it's not up to Yugi and Atem to explain, but my own."
Mokuba nodded and they walked back into the room. Regan opened the door and found Yugi standing beside the door. She looked away from him and watched Mokuba take a teary Serenity to his room. Regan walked over to the Xbox and took out the CD. She could feel Joey's, Tristan's, Téa's, Grandpa's and Mai's eyes all on her back. She already knew she didn't have to explain much to Téa, or Grandpa, but she had a lot to explain to Joey, Tristan, and Mai.
She turned to them. "Those were the videos of the plans that were being created when Seto was only a couple of years old…" She told them the exact story of what happened on the third and fourth of November. "And now you know everything up to now. The other reason we have to keep quiet because we don't want the Dragon Slayers or Dark Matter to find out if they haven't already."
"That's horrible." Mai stated. "But I thought Kaiba was going to announce that you are siblings."
"He was, but the Dragon Slayers were a lot closer than what we thought."
"What do you mean by that? They couldn't walk in here even if they wanted too."
"They already have." Yugi stated. "They got a hold of Pegasus the first night here and on top of that," He looked over at the TV. Regan followed along with the rest of the members and saw Seto's name and his opponent The Detail Reader. "They are already in the tournament."
"You mean that guy is a Dragon Slayer?" Joey asked.
Regan nodded as the memories flashed back to the trip to Vancouver. "That guy, if it is him, was the one that kidnapped me when Seto and I went to Vancouver for the day."
"He kidnapped you?!" Joey shouted standing up from his seat. "How about I go give him a nice welcome to the matchups with my fists."
"That won't do anything, besides, my brother has it under control and if anything does go wrong then Yugi and I can step in." Regan told him. "Besides, Mai has her battle with Jacob at the same time."
Joey eyes widened in realization and then he sat down again. "Alright, just don't let Rich Boy have all the fun beating the crap out of him. You have some fun too."
"Only if need be, I'm supposed to be hiding."
Mokuba walked out of his room with Serenity, who looked much calmer than before. Regan gave the CD to Mokuba, which he put it back in the room.
"You don't want to fight against Yugi's father, do you?" Téa questioned.
Regan shook her head. "No I don't, I don't want to kick him out of this tournament after everything I've placed him through."
"You didn't put him through anything; it was his choice to go against that group of freaks." Yugi stated with quite a bit of force, Regan looked at him in surprise. "If anything he probably wants to duel you."
"Probably not as much as he wants to face you." Regan told him and then an idea came to her. "Maybe he can see you after the duel."
Yugi looked at her with uncertainty. "What if he doesn't want to see me?"
"Do you want to see him?"
"Yes,"
"Then I will make him see you and if I have to kidnap him I will." Regan said with a smile. "I'm sure Mokuba will give all sorts of tips on how to kidnap someone."
"That was low Regan." Mokuba growled in her direction.
"I was only teasing." She giggled.
"Still low."
The door opened and Seto walked in. "Oh sorry, did I just walk in on a geek meeting."
"Glad to see you're in a good mood Seto," Regan sighed in a bit of agitation.
He looked over at her and then looked around the room and then back to her. "Did you-"
"Yea, I did show them the videos, now I need to get ready for my duel with Kayama Muto, if I decided to show up."
Seto looked surprised and then his expression changed. "Everyone out now!"
Regan had a feeling he wanted her and Mokuba to stay so she waited as all of her friends left the room without comment. She gave one look to Yugi as he looked back and then he left closing the door behind him. At first Regan thought he was angry as he sounded angry, but all she got from him was calm and even relaxed waves from his aura. "Seto?"
He turned to her. "I need you two to stay out of trouble while I'm in my game, I'm sure Yugi already told you Regan as to who my opponent is."
"Yes, he did." She sighed. "The Detail Reader, he was the one who kidnapped me in Vancouver. Just be careful around him, he apparently has the ability to read details from people within a close range. I'm pretty sure he's a fake, but I'm not a hundred percent and if he can, he will probably try to read whatever details you are hiding, such as relationships."
"Good so you know that there are probably other Dragon Slayers about and will most likely try to hunt you down if they already know about you, but." He turned to Mokuba. "I know they are looking for ways to get to you, do you know what your task is?"
"Yup I have it all in my head. I'm set and ready to go." Mokuba answered with a smile.
"What task?"
"That is a secret." Seto smirked. "But I'm sure you'll figure it out. Come on Mokuba, she has a duel in an hour to get ready for. And Regan."
"Yea?"
"You better show up."
She looked at the back of her older brother as they left her alone. Suddenly, Kayama's name appeared in the corner of her eye. She turned to the TV to see the match and anger filled her emotions. She turned away from it, walked towards the couch and sat down on the couch. She grabbed the pillow next to her and started to punch it. She was angry at just about everything that was a foe. Jade, Dark Matter, Steve, the nightmares, and the hard thing that was in the pillow she was beating on. She threw the pillow onto the other side of the couch and then placed her head in her hands. She didn't want to go against Kayama, but she knew that if he was anything like Yugi; he would be upset if she didn't.
Then, she heard a knock on the door. In confusion, she got up from the couch and walked to it. She opened the door to find Roland in a mailman's outfit. "What in the world?"
"I have a package for Ms. Regan Heartin." Roland said as if he didn't know who that was.
Giving him a raised eyebrow, but decided to play along. "That would be me…"
"Then if you could just sign here." He presented a clipboard.
"How about you come inside for some coffee or tea? You look worn out and you don't seem to haven anymore parcels." She suggested opening the door all the way.
"Sure that would be lovely." He answered and walked in. She looked outside of the room and saw someone leaning against the wall that wasn't part of the floor she was on. She closed the door and then locked. She turned around and dragged Roland to the swimming pool, far from the hallway wall.
"What the hell are you doing wearing a mailman suit?" She asked somewhat still angry, the pillow didn't get rid of all her frustration.
"Sorry, Ms. Heartin-"
"Regan."
"Right, Regan, it was Mr. Kaiba's idea."
"Idea?"
Roland nodded and the rest of her anger left as curiosity kicked in. "It's been rather hard to do things without Dragon Slayers' attention so he came up with a plan."
"And I don't suppose you could tell me this plan."
"I actually really don't know it myself, I think that he is being cautious about telling anything out loud, and I can see that you are too."
"Yes the pool area is a great place to have conversations without being interrupted or being over heard." Regan stated. "What's the package?"
Roland pulled out a box about the size of small loaf of bread out of his bag. "Here."
Regan took it and opened the box. Inside was a folded up piece of paper on top of a black cover. She handed the box to Roland as she took out the paper. She unfolded it and immediately recognized Seto's handwriting:
Regan,
I have sent you this package as recognition of you being part of this family. Now that you are part of this family, I hope you understand the dangers and the risks that are part of running a company and the reasons of this gift. Inside the box you will find a key for the data base of Kaiba Corporation, a complete key that allow you access to any files that requires a key. As another warning upon this, do not lose it or take it off! It is fully hazard proof so it's safe to wear while getting wet. It is one of the keys needed to get access to the locked files that did require two keys: Mokuba's and mine. No one besides Roland and Alex know about the little change I did so now the locked files require the third key as well.
As soon as you are done with this letter soak it in something that will wipe the paper clean, shred it and then separate the shreds into different garbage cans throughout the complex so it cannot be found. If you wish to have a discussion about this, we can have it after this tournament is over. If someone questions you about it, just say it was a gift for finishing your missing semester as your exams are after this tournament.
Sincerely, Seto Kaiba
Regan didn't know what to think other than what was in the second part of the box. She took the box from Roland again and opened the bottom. She was so amazed at what was at the bottom of the box she almost dropped it. She pulled out a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Pendent that was had the same materials of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon necklace she had gave to Seto for his birthday. She looked up at Roland. "Could you help me put this on?"
"Of course," He answered as he took it.
She turned around and he put it on for her. She turned back around and the necklace sat neatly on her collar bone under her choker. "What do you think Roland, good?"
Roland looked shocked and Regan started giggling. He recomposed himself and nodded. "Yes, it's nice."
She walked back into the room and was followed by him as she did what Seto had instructed with the letter. As she was shredding it, she still didn't know if she wanted to duel Kayama. She unconsciously touched her deck that was on her belt.
"Are you going to compete against Mr. Muto?" Roland questioned.
"I don't know," Regan answered. "But I certainly don't want to."
"Well if you don't mind me saying this, but you have only ten minutes before you have to face him in the arena."
"Ten minutes!" Regan shouted. "Where did the time go?! Fine, I'll duel him, but only because I want to see him afterwards."
She grabbed the shredded paper and went into each of the bathrooms to throw out the paper in each garbage pail. When she got out of the final one, Roland was gone. She sighed, grabbed her duel disk and then ran out the door to get to her unwanted duel.
Regan ran to the competitor hallway just as Devin Scape was calling her name. The worker quickly checked her deck and then gave it back to her. She forced herself to breath normally as she walked across the floor to get to the stage where so many were watching from the stands. She looked around and found her brothers along with Yugi and her friends. She sighed with a smile and a wave as they cheered her on or as much as Seto did cheer.
"Now her opponent, her boyfriend's, the King of Games, father Kayama Muto!"
There were cheers of excitement as a silhouette appeared from the other entrance across the room. Regan felt a strong pulse aura come from the man as soon as his face was lit up by the light of the stadium. He walked calmly with a smile that was identical to Yugi's and stopped in front of her. She looked up at him, he was about the same height as Yugi, but his hair was cut quite short, but it still was standing straight up except for his bangs that were somewhat jagged but framed his face. His hair on top was black and red, just like any Muto and he had the same eyes as Atem. He didn't look much older than that of the video only that there was a scar on the side of his right cheek. He was wearing black cargo pants with white and black boots that his pants when into and a white shirt and a black and white trench coat that was identical to his boots.
She expected him to put out his hand to shake before the duel just by judging how close he was, but he didn't. He placed his hand on top of her head and tousled her hair.
Before she even got the chance to say anything he put on an even bigger smile and said, "Good luck kiddo," And then walked to his side of the stage.
She was dumbfounded and stood there for a few seconds. She shook her head and walked away as she fixed her hair. She turned on her duel disk and it came to life as it sprang open. She placed her deck in the slot at the same time Kayama did.
"Duel!" They both shouted.
Regan Heartin VS Kayama Muto
Regan – 4000 Kayama – 4000
Turn 1: Regan Heartin H: 5 LP: 4000
"How about you go first Ms. Heartin?" Kayama suggested.
"I will gladly go first, Mr. Muto, but please don't call me Ms. Heartin. I prefer Regan." She told him as they drew their hands.
"What's wrong with your last name?" He asked craftily.
"I prefer less formal communication, I gave you permission to use my first name and unless you are either a foe or not much older than me, I regard them with their last name unless otherwise asked for a different name." Regan said as she drew her card.
"Well just call me Kayama, since you are already dating a Muto, there is no need to get everyone confused, but if you want to it could be fun."
"You are pretty talkative."
"Just trying to get to know who you are."
"Well for the game you do not know anything in my strategy as I place a monster facedown and three set cards. Your turn Kayama."
Turn 2: Kayama Muto H: 5 LP: 4000
"What are you trying to hide from?" he asked as he drew his card.
She did a double take, "I'm not trying to hide from anything."
"I think you are. Now because you have a monster on your field I get to special summon my Cyber Dragon from my hand."
Cyber Dragon Machine/Effect Attack: 2100 Defense: 1600
A silver metal dragon with yellow eyes appeared on the field.
"What is that thing?"
"This is my Cyber Dragon, a new collection of cards coming soon its part of the main deck of Cyber cards, but this isn't a cyber-deck, because now I sacrifice my Cyber Dragon to summon Mobius the Frost Monarch!"
Mobius the Frost Monarch Aqua/Effect Attack: 2400 Defense: 1000
A giant hand appeared from icy water on the stage and crushed the dragon. The giant with white armor and a blue cape came out of the water turning it to ice.
"Let me guess a new type of deck coming soon." Regan asked sarcastically.
"Why yes, this deck is based off of eight Roman Emperors, in Japan they will be released as the Emperors. Now because it was tribute summoned, I can destroy two of your back field cards."
"Pick two cards then, I have three."
"In a rush to go somewhere?" He asked.
"Not at all, just wondering when I get to finish this duel."
"I knew someone that was just as cocky as you, full of pride, you kind of remind me of him."
Regan frowned as a picture of her father from the videos ran across her memory. 'He must be trying to see how much I know without asking me directly.' "Which cards?"
"How about the ones on the side, I think I'll leave the middle one alone." Mobius shot icicles at her two cards as they shattered. He smirked. "Call of the Haunted and a Metalmorph continuous miss print, definitely a good choice."
Regan took her trap cards off her duel disk. "You have new cards that aren't released yet and trying to tell me something, what are you trying to achieve through this."
"So you did pick up on my game, since you're in, let us continue the duel; Mobius attack her facedown monster."
She pushed a button. "I'll play your game within the game, but I'll use Negate Attack to negate your attack."
"Good, it wouldn't be fun if I ended this so quickly." Kayama said as he placed two cards. "Turn end."
Turn 3: Regan H: 2 LP: 4000
"Well I couldn't just let my monster parish." Regan said as she drew her card. "I flip summon, The White Stone of Legend!"
The White Stone of Legend Dragon/Effect Attack: 300 Defense: 250
A white stone appeared being held by the earth.
"Where the heck did you get that card? No, the question is, why in the world do you have that card?"
"Well original it was just because it was a useful little dragon type, but now it has more meaning to me than that of a card." She took a side glance at Seto. "But, unfortunately I must get rid of it. I remove The White Stone of Legend from play to Special Summon my Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!"
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Dragon/Effect Attack: 2800 Defense: 2400
A red and black metallic dragon appeared on the field with a loud roar.
"And that's a meaning for yours truly!" Joey shouted loud enough for her and Kayama to hear.
She giggled. "I guess so Joey."
"The opposite of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it's amazing." Kayama said as Red-Eyes took a sniff of him. "And apparently a curious creature."
"He's just checking how much power he should be placing into his attack, you know so you won't get hurt, only enemies get the real power of his Dark Fireball Attack."
Kayama looked confused as Red-Eyes backed off somewhat flicking Mobius in the face with his tail.
"Now I activate Red-Eyes effect to bring out a dragon from my hand. I special summon Lightpulsar Dragon!"
Lightpulsar Dragon Dragon/Effect Attack: 2500 Defense: 1500
A white dragon and blue dragon appeared next to Red-Eyes.
"Well that's nice that you have two dragons, but I'm afraid that I'm only going to let you have one of those dragons as an attack. I activate my facedown card Spellbinding Circle."
A large circle came from the card and placed itself around Red-Eyes.
"I activate Pot of Greed." Regan hissed in annoyance as her dragon struggled against the spell. "Now I activate Dark Hole!"
"But will be just destroying your own monsters." He said in shock.
"Sometimes death isn't the final destination." Regan said as the dark hole ate the three monsters. "Now Lightpulsar effect goes off, when it is sent to the graveyard, it can special summon a dark, level seven or higher dragon type monster to my field from the grave."
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon appeared back on the field.
"Ah I see, and he is all back to normal as well."
"That's not all; I activate Red-Eyes effect to bring Lightpulsar back from the grave."
"Did not see that one." Kayama stated as Lightpulsar came back onto the field. "Is your deck a dragon deck?"
"Dragon themed." Regan answered. "But that's only what you can see, there is so much more hidden."
"Which goes back to the question; what are you trying to hide from, what are you running away from?"
"I already answered that question, I'm not running or hiding from anything. I'm facing my problems head on. Just like my two dragons are going to be, Red-Eyes attack Kayama directly with Dark Fireball Attack."
The dragon looked pleased that he could attack as he charged up the attack and shot it at Kayama. Then suddenly, a puffball appeared and absorbed the attack. Kayama grinned like a fool. "Smile, I here it's good for you."
"I am not smiling, that bloody Kuriboh just blocked my dragon's attack!" She shouted in frustration while Red-Eyes growled at the fading Kuriboh. "Lightpulsar attack him where Red-Eyes was blocked.
The dragon shot a ball of light at Kayama throwing him off his feet. He got up again and he dusted himself. "So you do, but that doesn't mean you don't try to avoid it first."
"I always try to avoid a fight, but when it comes down to it, I usually have to."
"What about the main fight you are in now with yourself, the one that more than likely was the cause of you ending up in the alleyway?"
Regan didn't answer as she looked away from him and to her monsters. "I place one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 4: Kayama H: 1 LP: 1500
"So you did find out." Kayama said as he drew his card. "I activate Card of Sanctity."
Regan drew six cards and Kayama drew five cards.
"Sorry Regan, this looks like I'm ending this duel now."
"What are you talking about?" Regan asked.
"Watch, I activate Soul Exchange and I choose your Lightpulsar Dragon as my tribute to summon Dark Magician Girl."
Dark Magician Girl Spellcaster/Effect Attack: 2000 Defense: 1700
A female magician appeared on the field wearing blue and pink.
"She isn't strong enough to go against Red-Eyes." Regan stated placing her emotions away that Kayama had rally up so much.
"No she isn't, but I have an idea on who will be. I activate my next spell card, Sage's Stone so I can special summon Dark Magician of Chaos from my deck."
Dark Magician of Chaos Spellcaster/Effect Attack: 2800 Defense: 2600
A blue and red magician appeared next to Dark Magician Girl spinning his staff.
"He still isn't big enough." Regan said crossing her arms, but she knew he wasn't done.
"You know I'm not done yet so why do you keep telling me my monsters aren't big enough?"
She shrugged though she was really trying to send a message that she did know, but there was so much more to it.
"Well now that I summoned my magician, he's effect activates to bring a spell card from my graveyard to my hand. Care to take a guess?"
"Sage's stone?" Regan questioned.
"You are correct and now I activate it to bring my Dark Magician from my deck to the field."
Dark Magician Spellcaster/Normal Attack: 2500 Defense: 2100
The well-known purple magician appeared on the field on the other side of Dark Magician Girl.
"So this is the main purpose of your deck, the three magicians."
"Do you know the other purpose that they stand? It isn't very hard, they mirror the way I destroyed your trap cards."
Regan looked closely and then returned to the way he destroyed her face downs. 'He destroyed the two side traps and left the middle. Dark Magician of Chaos being the power house is on the side as well as Dark Magician, but Dark Magician Girl is in the middle. Wait a minute; they reflect Seto, me and Mokuba.' Her eyes widen in realization.
"Do you?"
She nodded. "But there is so much more that you don't know."
"Perhaps, but this is game over, I activate Riryoku and target your dragon for halving its attack points while my Dark Magician of Chaos gains those attack points to make if 4200 attack points."
"And my dragon only 1400." Regan finished as she looked at her dragon with sad eyes.
"Battle Phase, Dark Magician Girl, attack her dragon!"
The female wizard jumped up to the dragon and shot the dragon with a ball of magic. Regan covered her face as her dragon exploded.
"Now Dark Magician, attack Regan directly with Dark Magic Attack."
Regan watched the dark sphere race towards her and memories of her nightmare came to her. She screamed involuntarily as she was thrown backwards. She got back up slowly trying to shake off the attack. "Because you attacked me directly when I have no cards on the field, I can special summon Gorz the Emissary of Darkness to the field and an Emissary Token with the same attack and defense as the damage I took.
Gorz the Emissary of Darkness Fiend/Effect Attack: 2700 Defense: 2500
Emissary Token Fairy/Token Attack: 2500 Defense: 2500
Two emissaries came onto the field blocking any more direct attacks.
"Sorry Regan, but you only have 900 life points, the difference between your monster and my Dark Magician of Chaos is much more than that; Dark Magician of Chaos attack Gorz!"
"I activate my facedown: Spellbinding Circle. You're not the only one who has that card."
"That was brilliant. I can't believe you got the saving card from a card that I played." Kayama exclaimed. "I play Pot of Greed and draw two cards. I place two cards facedown and end my turn."
Turn 5: Regan H: 5 LP: 900
Regan took a deep breath. 'Way to close for comfort.' "I draw!" She called as she drew and looked at her hand. "I activate Heavy Storm."
"Well I activate my quick spell Emergency Provisions and I choose to send my two facedown cards to the grave and gain an extra 2000 life points." The two cards that a great wind was threatening to blow away left the field in sparkles and raised Kayama's life points. The storm disappeared as quickly as it appeared taking only the Spellbinding Circle. "Now my magician's free."
"And you're also at 3500, but not for long. I activate Hammer Shot to destroy your Dark Magician."
A large hammer appeared above the purple magician and before it could move it was crushed.
"Why did you target my Dark Magician? You only raised my Dark Magician Girl's attack points by 300."
She didn't answer the question as she pulled a card from her hand. "I summon Snipe Hunter."
Snipe Hunter Fiend/Effect Attack: 1500 Defense: 600
A purple and black demon appeared on the field with a gun in his hand with the numbers one to six.
"What happened to the dragons?"
"Do you miss them already?" Regan giggled at the tone of Kayama, like he was not pleased to see her monster. "I told you it was dragon themed not one hundred percent dragon. Now I activate Snipe Hunter's effect, by sending a card from my hand to the graveyard my monster gets to spin the barrel if it's a one or a six Dark Magician of Chaos gets to stay on the field, if it isn't, well from the effect of your monster it is removed from play when it leaves the field." Regan discarded a card and Dark Magician Girl's attack rose to 2600.
"Why do you discard Dark Magician?"
"You'll find out, now Snipe Hunter, spin your barrel." The monster grinned and spun his barrel a large circle appeared for everyone to see as the arrow slowed down the barrel. It landed on a two. "Yes, Snipe Hunter fire!"
The monster shot his gun at the large magician and it disappeared off the field.
"Dammit." Kayama growled as he put the monster in his deck box.
"Battle Phase, Gorz attack Dark Magician Girl." Regan told her monster.
The monster nodded and took out his sword. He disappeared and then reappeared behind the female magician. Dark Magician Girl turned around and Gorz sliced her with his sword. She disappeared with a shriek and then Gorz jumped back to Regan's field.
"Nice shot; are you going to continue or are you backing down?" Kayama taunted.
"I'm not backing down. Emissary token attack him directly!"
The female token ran towards him and just as she was about to take a swing when another Kuriboh appeared on the field taking the hit.
"Surprise."
"Puffball abuser." Regan mumbled to herself as her emissary came back to her side of the field.
"What was that?"
"Snipe Hunter, attack him directly!" Regan ordered and the demon fired his gun hitting Kayama in the shoulder. "I place three cards face down and end my turn."
Turn 6: Kayama H: 0 LP: 1900
"I draw." Kayama called and then looked surprised. "Well, I don't believe it, that's two times in a row now. I activate Card of Sanctity."
"Again?" Regan questioned as she drew another six cards from her deck.
"Yup and now I activate my heavy storm-"
"If I couldn't use that card on you, then you can't either, I activate Magic Jammer to negate your card." The spell was negated as she placed a card in the graveyard.
"You fell for my decoy."
"Decoy?"
"Yes, now I activate Temple of the Kings."
"What does that card do?" Regan asked.
"Well I'm glad I get to tell you, this card allows me to activate trap cards the same turn they are set." Kayama said cheekily.
"Lovely."
"Yes it is, so I'll set this card facedown and then I activate Lightning Vortex by discarding my other Dark Magician."
"No!" Regan cried as her monsters were all destroyed by the lightning the card brought to her field.
"Yes, now I activate Magician Summoner to bring my last Dark Magician from my deck to the field." Kayama said as he searched his deck for his magician and it came on the field. "Attack my Magician, and because I declared an attack I activate my facedown card Magician's Circle."
"I activate my facedown Card Mirror Force so your Dark Magician is destroyed." Regan said as she activated her facedown card."
The Dark Magician was destroyed and then Magician's Circle started to glow.
"Now because I activated this trap card each of us can summon a 2000 or lower attack point spellcaster from our decks." Kayama said and Regan nodded.
"I summon Dark Magician Girl!" They both shouted. Two Dark Magician Girls landed on the field with 3200 attack points.
Regan grinned. "I figured as much, I'm sorry that I have to do this, but I activate my last facedown, Bottomless Trap Hole, when a monster on my opponent's field is summoned and it has more than 1500 attack points it is destroyed and removed from the game."
Kayama's Dark Magician Girl fell into a hole and Kayama slipped the card into his deck box. "Turn end."
Turn 7: Regan H: 5 LP: 900
Regan drew her card and looked over at Kayama's empty field. This was what he was left with when he tried to stop that group's plans, nothing. She didn't want to attack or end the duel with her the victor. She wanted him to go against Yugi in the finals which she knew he would if she didn't win here. Turn seven of all the turns that they could be on, a number of death as well as a number of life. But which way will the end result be?
"Hey, are you going to attack?" Kayama asked breaking through her thoughts. "That card is a representation of you, if you back down now then everything was for nothing."
Regan felt anger from him as well as herself at his remark. "Everything wasn't for nothing! Their efforts or yours were not in vain!" She shouted at him. "Dark Magician Girl, attack him directly with Sceptre Blast and finish this duel!"
Dark Magician Girl nodded charged up her wand. She launched a ball of magic at Kayama and he stood his ground after the attack hit him.
Regan Heartin – 900 Kayama Muto – 0
Winner Regan Heartin
Her monster disappeared as she turned off her duel disk, she could hear the crowd cheer, but she didn't process it as Kayama walked up to her. He lowered himself to her ear and whispered. "Come see me in the lobby after Devin is done his speech. Please bring your brothers, my father and my son, I wish to speak with the six of you."
She nodded and Devon came onto the stage. "And the winner of the duel is Regan Heartin, who will be going to the next round of the tournament."
The crowd cheered while Regan and Kayama left the stage in their separate ways. Regan gathered everyone that Kayama want to see and headed to the lobby where they saw him sitting on the sofa. He got up as soon as he saw them and rushed over.
"I'm so glad you came, come so we can speak in private." Kayama said and led them down the other hallway.
They went into an elevator and went up to the second floor. They exited and Kayama opened a room, two rooms down from the elevator. Regan looked around and realized that the room was quite empty and it was a single suit, not much different from Pegasus'. As soon as the door was closed and locked Kayama immediately went to Yugi and gave him a huge hug. Regan was stunned by how many different emotions were going through Kayama that her head felt like it wanted to explode. When the two separated Kayama turned to Grandpa and also gave him a hug, not as big as the one he gave Yugi though.
"Look at you Yugi; all big and tall, pictures don't do you justice." Kayama said looking over Yugi.
"I don't mean to be the moment breaker, but I have a game that starts in twenty minutes." Seto started in somewhat annoyance. "I don't have time for you three to play catch up."
"Right sorry," He said as he looked over to Seto. "I guess I'll make this short and quick. You three know about Jade and that group right?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what they are planning?"
"Yes, I figured it out." Grandpa stated. "And all of us already know about what they are trying to do."
"Good, glad I don't have to explain that. And I guess that you already know about the Dragon Slayers."
"Had a few encounters with them." Regan said. "Seto is going against one shortly."
"And I guess that means that your pendent of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is part of Kaiba Corp."
"It's just a necklace." Seto stated. "For finishing up her missing semester."
"I'm sure it is." Kayama said but Regan could tell he wasn't fooled and so could her brother. "Then I guess I don't really have anything to give to you other than this box. It's some important valuables that Takahashi asked me to give to you three after Isolde died."
"What box?" Regan asked as he turned to pick up a box off the table.
"This one, it has little documents and wills and stuff in it. Inside there are three boxes individually named for the three of you; take it back to your room to open."
Mokuba took the large box and nodded. And then Kayama turned to Yugi. "You, your mother, and I, after this tournament, are going to be spending a lot of time together. I'm sorry I couldn't watch you grow up and-"
"It's fine." Yugi said with a smile. "I already know, just this time leave the rest up to me."
"Great, now that is over I have a Dragon Slayer to deal with." Seto said and walked out leaving everyone else behind.
"Let's go watch his game, but afterwards I have to introduce you to my closest friends after the game. Do you wish to come with us to watch Kaiba's match?"
"I don't know if-"
"We got some hidden seats, it's in the casino balcony section where security is tight and only allows us to get in." Mokuba interrupted him. "Ordered by my brother myself and one hundred percent background check."
Kayama nodded, "Alright and Regan, no hard feelings about our match. I could tell you didn't want to be there."
"None, I'm happy that I went." Regan answered and then skipped to the door. "Let's go before the dance off starts."
