And it turns out I sort of corrected it… so I corrected the mistakes I missed in the first correction. Anyway, here is the next chapter, shorter than the previous chapter, but still great in context.

Chapter 5

The Match of More to Come

November 13th, 2011

9:00 AM

Regan sat on her made bed looking through her deck and other cards she brought along with her. Her music was blasting on her big headphones as she tried to concentrate. She couldn't believe how far she had got into the tournament, the finals. And then her mind stopped for a moment. 'But what about Jade?' She picked up a card and then placed it down again. 'What about Devin? Did she go against him yet or did that already happen and she was kicked out. He couldn't have lost; he was going to go against the finalist in the end to conclude the tournament like Maximillion had.'

As she thought she didn't notice she had built a deck. She blinked at spontaneous deck that was in front of her. She looked over to her phone and thirty minutes had gone by. She sighed at the wasted time and looked through the deck her subconscious built while her conscious was busy thinking about everything that could go wrong. As she was checking out her cards she felt someone watching her from behind and she didn't recognize the signature. She placed down her deck and quickly drew her sword pointing it in the direction she felt it from. She looked around and saw no one.

She frowned as she left the sword on the bed and turned back to her deck as a horrible feeling filled in her gut that she thought she might be sick. Unfortunately, Serenity was taking a shower. She turned to the other side of the room as she heard Nile talking to Ryou on the phone in the corner. She didn't seem to notice Regan's feelings so Regan disregarded them as her imagination. She closed her eyes and turned her concentration towards her duel with her boyfriend, the King of Games with millions or maybe even billions watching. She felt a chill run up her spine in excitement. She didn't want to fight him, but at the same time she did. It was a paradox in her mind and it was driving her crazy to the point she couldn't look through her cards anymore, she just hoped her subconscious got everything.

Nile hung up the phone and walked over to her. "Troubled?"

"I want to duel Yugi, but at the same time I don't." Regan answered.

"Sounds like a personal problem." Nile said flatly.

Regan glared at her and then shook her head. "And how was your conversation?"

Nile smiled. "It was good."

"What no details?"

"No updates yet, just Ryou and Phoenix are getting along as usual, he is quite happy to have company in his lonely apartment."

"When did he bring Phoenix to his apartment?"

"The day we left." Nile answered. "Did I forget to tell you that?"

Regan nodded. "So anything else, hopefully we will be going home tonight though my head hurts to try and figure out what time we will be back."

"It well from what Ryou tells me we will be back in Tokyo twelve hours and thirty minutes after we leave… and then you add the time difference and that's right now since the fallback erm, still the same, twelve hours so. What time is our flight?"

"Nine, I think."

"So it will be eleven at night tomorrow." Nile answered.

"Congratulations you have succeeded on not causing my brain to work." She answered with a smile and got up from the bed. She placed her sword in the sheath on her belt and then placed her deck in her deck box on her other belt. "Now, time for some breakfast."

000000

Regan walked out on to the stage. The audience seemed a lot bigger then it was during the semifinals and it nerved her a bit. She met Yugi at the half way mark and the host, who was hosting Seto's dance game, was there to greet them, which made Regan wonder where Devin was.

"Are you ready for this Regan?" Yugi asked her.

She smirked, "Of course, you better not hold back."

"Nor you."

They walked to their separate ends of the stage, but Regan could still feel his fighting spirit. She shivered as she turned to him. She didn't know how his opponents could stand in front of him and still have the will to fight. He was nerve racking. She grinned. She was happy that she got to go against him at his full strength, and not be an enemy that was trying to kill him.

They drew their cards, "Duel!"

Yugi Muto VS Regan Heartin

Yugi – 4000 Regan – 4000

"Shall we flip a coin to see who goes first?" The host asked.

"No!" Yugi and she shouted at the same time causing the host to take a step back.

Regan looked over to Yugi, "Why don't you go first, you are the King after all."

Turn 1: Yugi Muto H: 5 LP: 4000

"Alright, but you'll regret it." Yugi said as he drew his first card.

'No I won't, I get first attack.' She said to herself happily as Yugi contemplated his moves.

"First, I'll set a facedown monster and then I activate Card Destruction!"

Regan ditched her five cards with regret as they went to the graveyard and drew a new hand. But she didn't show it. "What got a bad hand?"

"Not at all, I was looking for just the right card, and it turns out I got it." Yugi said with a smile. She didn't like it as much as she use to and wondered what he drew and why he wanted cards in the grave. "Now I activate Monster Reborn to bring my Dark Magician to the field."

Dark Magician Spellcaster/Normal Attack: 2500 Defense: 2100

A well-known purple clothed magician came to the field.

She realized then why her brother hated to play this game with him and lose, he would draw what he needed when he needed and that was just the trust between him and his deck that it worked the way it did, like her own and Seto's and all of her friends that dueled. Some of them weren't as good at it, but Joey was better than all of them when it came to serious moment breakers. She glared at his ace first turn she thanked whatever god there was that it was only the first turn and her field not wide open for an attack. "Are you done, as much as everyone enjoys Dark Magician, some of us wish to take their turn."

"Look at you my queen, ready to lose so fast?" Yugi asked as he set a facedown back row. "I set a facedown and end my turn, your grace."

Turn 2: Regan H: 5 LP: 4000

She giggled slightly at his antics to take her off her concentration. "Cute, but it won't help you." She drew her card and looked at it. "Just to let you know, you destroyed some really good monsters when you sent my hand to the grave, and now you are going to regret it. I activate Monster Reborn, the card you placed in my hand and summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!"

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Dragon/Effect Attack: 2800 Defense: 2400

Her red and black dragon came to the field with a mighty roar.

Yugi didn't look too happy to see her grinning or the fact that her dragon was also on the field.

"Now I activate his special ability to summon to special summon another dragon you sent to the graveyard, Lightpulsar."

Lightpulsar Dragon Dragon/Effect Attack: 2500 Defense: 1500

A blue and white dragon appeared on the field with a low growl. Dark Magician tensed up as he was being stared down by her two dragons.

"Nice set." Yugi smiled and not in a sinister way.

"Thanks," She beamed back happily. "But now my Red-Eyes will have to get rid of your magician, Red-Eyes attack the Dark Magician!"

"I thought you would do that." Yugi stated with a grin of his own. "I activate my facedown card, Spellbinding Circle. This card just can't seem to get enough of dragons."

"What?!" A magic circle encircled her dragon and she pouted. "That wasn't very nice. Lightpulsar attack his facedown monster."

Lightpulsar's mouth opened and shot a ball of light at the facedown card. It turned up and a warrior blocked the attack and Yugi smirked, "Sorry, but Obnoxious Celtic Guardian can't be destroyed by monsters with more than 1900 attack points and since he was in defence mode, I don't lose any life points."

Obnoxious Celtic Guardian Warrior/Effect Attack: 1400 Defense: 1200

Regan cringed, two wasted attacks and possibly a wasted turn, plus, Yugi had sacrifice material. She grabbed a card from her hand. "I place down a set a monster, place a facedown and end my turn."

Turn 3: Yugi H: 2 LP: 4000

"I draw!" Yugi called as he drew his card. "I activate Emblem of Dragon Destroyer; this allows me to add a Bluster Blader from my deck or graveyard to my hand."

She looked on the field and then realized what he was about to do, but she didn't panic her plan was coming together one piece at a time.

"Now I sacrifice my Celtic Guardian to summon my Summoned Skull." Yugi continued as his guardian left the field and a large monstrous skeleton with muscles and bat wings took his place.

Summoned Skull Fiend/Normal Attack: 2500 Defense: 1200

"Nice monster." Regan commented sarcastically, but she already knew what he was doing, he had everything wrapped up like a packed lunch. "Going to play a spider too to finish off the Halloween decorations?"

"Sorry, I'm going to have to play something else, like my polymerization. Do you know who I'm going to make?"

She nodded feeling her excitement grow, "Dark Paladin."

"Right, by fusing my Dark Magician and my Buster Blader, I summon Dark Paladin!"

Dark Paladin Spellcaster/Fusion/Effect Attack: 2900 Defense: 2400

A blue and yellow magician came onto the field and his wand started to glow and Regan watched as his attack points climbed to 4400 attack points.

"Are you over compensating for something Yugi?" Regan joked and she could hear her brother laughing to death up in the stands along with other people "oooooh" and laughing.

Yugi shook his head slightly blushing. "Sometimes I wonder about you Regan, and I have a comeback, it just wouldn't be appropriate. But for now, my monster will have to do, Dark Paladin attack Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon."

Dark Paladin finished charging his attack and launched it at Red-Eyes. Regan flinched as her dragon was destroyed and her life points dropped to 2400. "Is that the best you got?"

"Now, Summoned Skull, attack her facedown monster."

Regan grinned. "Got you."

Her facedown monster flipped and it showed to be a blue little baby dragon.

Decoy Dragon Dragon/Effect Attack: 300 Defense: 200

"Stop!" Yugi called to his monster, but it was too late.

Regan grinned as Summoned Skull "attack" her dragon. "Too bad Yugi, I may give you an extra five hundred attack to your Dark Paladin, but this little guy is bringing back Red-Eyes!" No sooner then she said that, she placed her decoy in the grave and switched it with her other dragon and placed it on the field. "Red-Eyes, counter strike that skeleton."

Red-Eyes pushed back Yugi's monster and then blew his head off with a ball of fire. Yugi growled as his life points dropped to 3700.

"I place a facedown and end."

Turn 4: Regan H: 3 LP: 2400

Regan drew her card silently and she looked over her hand. "I activate Red-Eyes effect to summon Van'Dalgyon from my graveyard."

Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord Dragon/Effect Attack: 2800 Defense: 2500

A purple and red dragon appeared and his sapphire gems gleamed.

"Even with three dragons on the field are big enough to destroy my Paladin." Yugi commented.

"No, they aren't, yet." Regan commented. "Now, I remove my Marshmallon and my Snipe Hunter from play to summon Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End!"

Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End Dragon/Effect Attack: 3000 Defense: 2500

A light blue armored dragon with a skull face and orange hair came onto the field. Dark Paladin's attack went up to 4900. Yugi simple nodded and Regan questioned her next move as wondering what Yugi had planned. He had nothing in his hand and only one monster on the field. She could blow up the field and her by paying a thousand life points and then her Lightpulsar would bring back and Dark Type dragon back on to her field and have victory. But, she didn't know what else Yugi had in his grave.

"Come on Regan, what's wrong, just blow up the field, you can bring back Red-Eyes and then you can bring back Lightpulsar and have the win." Yugi taunted and Regan looked back into her hand.

'Plan B then, I don't know what he has and now he's taunting me and now I know he has something to prevent him from losing.' Regan pulled a card form her hand. "Sorry Yugi, I don't know what you have in your graveyard, and if I did destroy everything, you would still have 1600 life points. Do you remember the tag team duel in Seto's backyard and when Tristan asked what I fused in my deck?"

Yugi nodded.

"Well, I think it's time to meet him and your paladin is not going to survive the turn. I activate Dragon's Mirror and it allows me to remove cards to summon a dragon fusion type monster. So, I remove my Chaos Emperor Dragon, Red-Eyes, Lightpulsar, Van'Dalgyon, and my Decoy Dragon in my graveyard to summon Five-Headed Dragon!"

Five-Headed Dragon Dragon/Fusion/Effect Attack: 5000 Defense: 5000

A yellow bodied dragon with five different attributed heads came onto the field dwarfing the magician. Dark Paladin's attack dropped down to 3100.

Yugi stood there looking up at the monster in panic. Regan smirked. "I see you weren't expecting that."

"No, I wasn't sure what to expect." Yugi commented as if he was breathless.

"Five-headed Dragon, attack Yugi's Paladin!"

The dragon's headed started to charge their attacks and all of them fired at once creating a spiral of fire, water, earth, air, and darkness which destroyed Dark Paladin with ease. Yugi shouted and was pushed back a bit as he blocked his face with the duel disk. His life points dropped quickly.

"I set one card and end my turn." Regan said and a card appeared next to her other facedown back field.

Yugi smiled. "You should have used Chaos Dragon's effect, you would have won."

"What?" Regan pouted. "You manipulated my move, your abusive Yugi."

"I'm just playing the game, you said to go all out, you should have used your instincts." Yugi said.

She smiled. "Alright, your turn."

Turn 5: Yugi H: 0 LP: 1800

Yugi drew his card and threw it in the spell and trap slot. "I activate Card of Sanctity."

Regan nodded and the two of them drew their cards, he drew six and she drew five.

"Now you are going to regret it." Yugi told her. "I activate Dark Hole!"

She watched in horror as her dragon slipped into the darkness and left her field bare. She turned to Yugi with a glare, but she knew he was into the duel so much, that it was just natural to beam back with a strong aura, this only made her glare deepen.

"Now I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior."

Alpha the Magnet Warrior Rock/Normal Attack: 1400 Defense: 1700

A grey warrior with north and south magnets came onto the field.

"Next I play a card called Turn Escalation." Yugi said.

"What does that do?" she asked him.

"It skips three of your turns and three of my turns, it's like Turn Jump, only this card needs to be played during main phase one."

The turns skipped by and Regan wondered why he wanted to jump the turns. "Why did you do that?"

"So I could do this. I normal summon Beta the Magnet Warrior."

Beta the Magnet Warrior Rock/Normal Attack: 1700 Defense: 1600

A yellow magnet warrior came to the field.

"Now I activate my facedown card Call of the Haunted to bring back Gamma the Magnet Warrior from my graveyard."

"Dammit," Regan hissed as a pink magnet warrior came to the field. "You have that card."

Gamma the Magnet Warrior Rock/Normal Attack: 1500 Defense: 1800

Yugi smiled. "That's right, now I sacrifice my three magnet warriors to combine them to create Valkyrion the Magna Warrior!"

Valkyrion the Magna Warrior Rock/Effect Attack: 3500 Defense: 3850

The three magnet warriors started to disassemble and created a huge warrior the loomed over her monster free field.

"This is it, Valkyrion attack Regan attack." He ordered and the warrior charged towards her.

A small smirk formed on her lips. "You think so? I activate my face down, Mirror Force."

His monster exploded and disappeared off the field. "Now look who's being manipulative."

She giggled. "Is it my turn?"

"I set my last card and end my turn."

Turn 12: Regan H: 6 LP: 2400

She drew her card and looked at her hand. There wasn't anything that she could work with, all her high monsters decided to show up without any means to being summoned, except for one card. "I summon out Card Drawer Dragon."

Card Drawer Dragon Dragon/Effect Attack: 1300 Defense: 500

A little brown dragon came to the field that seemed really excited.

"What does he do? I've never seen him before." Yugi said.

"Well, this is the first time he is being summoned." Regan explained. "When he attacks someone directly, you have to draw two cards."

"Well he seems adorable." He smiled.

"Right now he does, he won't be when he comes for your life points. CDD attack Yugi directly."

The dragon stopped jumping around and turned his eyes on Yugi. Yugi took a step back and then the dragon ran over to him with speed and opened his mouth to show hundreds of sharp pointy teeth.

"Ah, not so cute anymore," Yugi said and the monster jumped and smashed his tail into his chest sending him to the ground and the monster gnawed on his arm. "Ouch, off!"

Regan whistled and the dragon flew back. Yugi stood up and glared in Regan's direction. She smiled. "Now draw two cards, you need to spend in order to gain."

"I would have just accepted the smash to the floor; I didn't need a display of how sharp those razors are."

"At least they aren't rusty right?" She laughed as he drew the cards with a shudder. "I activate Life Giver which gives me 100 life points. Turn end."

Turn 13: Yugi H: 2 LP: 500

Yugi drew his card and smirked. "I fuse my Berfomet and my Gazelle the King of Mystical Beasts in my hand to summon Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast!"

Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast Beast/Fusion/Effect Attack: 2100 Defense: 1800

A brown, white winged beast came to the field with a roar and her dragon took a step back, not that she could blame him.

"Chimera, attack the dragon!"

The chimera bit off the dragon's head and Regan slipped the card into the grave as her life points dropped to 900.

"Your turn Regan."

Turn 13: Regan H: 5 LP: 900

She drew her card and was more than surprised at her draw. She looked at the field and then back to her hand. "Yugi, this match is over."

He gave a confused face. "How so?"

"I activate my Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down." She said as she placed the card in the slot. A twister appeared and destroyed his facedown card, but not without revealing it was Mirror Force. She looked back into her hand drew a card. "I summon Abaki and I use it to attack your Chimera."

Abaki Fiend/Effect Attack: 1700 Defense: 1000

A red monster appeared on the field with a big spiky club.

"But, that's suicide, Abaki will be destroyed" Yugi told her as Abaki started to run towards the Chimera.

"I know," Regan announced as chimera swiped at the red monster and it was destroyed. She lost 400 life points. "But since I can't beat you, I'm taking you down with me."

"What do you – oh wait, that duel puzzle." Yugi said and then crossed his arms impressed, "Abaki's effect."

"Right, when Abaki is sent to the graveyard both players take 500 points of damage and since we both have 500-"

Spikes came from her graveyard and hit them both stopping her from finishing her sentence, it hurt.

Yugi Muto – 0 Regan Heartin – 0

Draw

The audience was quiet as the holograms disappeared. The host came onto the stage who happened to be Devin this time. "What a duel ladies and gentlemen, who would have thought that a tie would have been the finalist would be both the King and Queen of Games."

The audience started to cheer again and Regan walked to the center and Yugi met her there. 'That was fun, but I hope I don't have to duel you in a setting like this again.'

Yugi smiled grabbing her hand. 'Me neither, sorry about your card drawer dragon, you looked really upset about it disappearing.'

'It doesn't matter,' Regan replied and turned her attention to Devin. She was starting to wonder what he was going to do to figure out who would play a match game with him.

"Regan, Yugi, because of the events of the tournament, I have decided to shorten it by only having one game, winner takes all, but the question is, which one wants to face me?"

Yugi and Regan looked at each other. They both did and they both didn't want the other to go against him due to the events within the tournament.

"Hmm, you two can't seem to decide, so a coin toss then." Devin said and before Regan could say anything he flipped a coin that seemingly appeared from nowhere it went so high, Regan didn't know he was going to be able to catch it when it came down again. "So call it in the air, heads or tails?"

"Tails." Regan answered.

"Heads then for me." Yugi added and then looked her in the eye. 'I hope he isn't an enemy as well.'

Regan nodded. The coin finally came down and his flipped it over with his hand covering it. He lifted his hand and a moose head was facing the sky.

"It's Tails. So Regan you will face me in an hour's time right here and if you want to you can bring a few of your friends down onto the stage as well for a close up match."

She didn't know how she felt about bringing some of her friends or her winning, but she gave a nodded with a fake smile and then left the stage as the audience cheered and Yugi's warm hand in her now chilled hand.
