bopdog111: They all had a heartwarming time.

Ulrich362: True.

bopdog111: Well now time to see our main protagonist have his time to duel right?

Ulrich362: I guess so, but unlike before we're handling him a bit differently.

bopdog111: What is that you ask? Let's find out.

Ulrich362: Agreed, enjoy the chapter.

Meanwhile at the Akaba Familyhome...

Blue Frost was in the middle of cooking breakfast with Julie helping her, "Thanks again for the help Julie. I thought you, and Rocky were busy."

"Not really." Julie replied.

"Well still thanks." Blue Frost smiled to her.

"Don't mention it." Julie smiled, "It's the least I can do for helping me find Rocky again."

"I'll see if Ace is awake okay?" Blue Frost asked as Julie nodded while Blue Frost walked upstairs to Ace's room only to find it empty.

"Oh Blue Frost, good morning." Zarc smiled noticing her.

"Where's Ace?" Blue Frost asked him.

"In there with Ray right now." Zarc answered, "He really wants to be with his brother or sister."

Blue Frost giggled, "Oh, that makes sense. I can still remember when he did the same with me, White Wing, Rin, and Sarah."

Zarc smiled at that.

"Can you tell them breakfast is about ready?" Blue Frost asked him.

"Sure thing." Zarc nodded before walking to his and Ray's bedroom and opening the door. "Ace, Ray?"

"Come in." Ray told him.

Zarc walked in and smiled. "I hate to tear you away from your future brother or sister Ace but Blue Frost wanted me to get you guys for breakfast."

Ace pouted sitting up.

"Don't worry you will be back soon." Ray smiled to him.

Zarc chuckled at that. They headed down stairs where Julie, and Blue Frost were setting down plates.

"Hi big sis." Ace smiled. "Thank you."

"Your welcome Acey." Blue Frost smiled giving him a kiss on his forehead.

"And hi little guy. You doing good?" Julie asked him with a grin.

"Yeah." Ace nodded before giggling.

"I wanted to try a new recipe for pancakes today." Blue Frost smiled helping him to his chair, "I added three new ingredients to the batter. Honey, Chocolate Chips, and Cinnamon."

"That sounds yummy." Ace smiled.

"I have to agree, it does sound pretty good." Ray admitted.

"Think the babies will love it?" Blue Frost asked.

"I think so." Zarc nodded.

"My mouth is salivating a little bit from this sweetness." White Wing admitted seeking grunting, "Man she's getting big."

"Can I help?" Ace asked.

"I'm okay Acey." White Wing smiled to him.

Ace nodded at that. Blue Frost set his plate with Syrup, Strawberries, and even some powered sugar. Ace smiled. "Thank you big sis."

"I hope you like, and remember to be careful with the Syrup." Blue Frost smiled.

Ace nodded only to pause. "Big sis... where's everybody else?"

"Dawn is taking a morning shower, Black Fang is with Miss Cathy, and the other two went off somewhere." Blue Frost answered.

Ace nodded at that. "Ok."

"Oh!" White Wing gasped after taking a bite.

"Kicking?" Zarc guessed.

"Yeah. I think she likes it." White Wing smiled.

Ace smiled. "Yeah, big sis is a really good cook."

"Thank you." Blue Frost smiled before grunting, "I know, I know..."

Ray rubbed her back gently.

"*Sigh* Thanks Ray." Blue Frost smiled to her sitting down.


Later...

Knock Knock Knock

"It's open." Ray mentioned.

Who walked in was Sandy. Ace's eyes widened. "Sandy?"

"Hi Acey. How are you doing today?" Sandy asked with a smile.

Ace smiled. "I'm doing really good."

"Well now I'm here to help you out. Here." Sandy handed him a Deck.

Ace blinked taking it only for his eyes to widen in fear. "Zo... zombies?"

"I know their scary. But trust me their as friendly as Casper once you use them." Sandy smiled to him.

Ace looked scared but nodded. "Oh... ok, I trust you Sandy."

"Plus I've decided to try improving my Ghost Cards soon." Sandy smiled linking his arm, "So that meant we're gonna have a great time."

Ace smiled at that before pausing. "Where are we going?"

Sandy blinked hearing that.

"Mommy says a gentle man offers his arm when he takes a girl somewhere special." Ace answered. "But... I don't know where to go."

"Oh they can also take arms to get close." Sandy chuckled.

Ace smiled at that before giggling. "Ok Sandy."

"Well come on." Sandy smiled taking his arm.

Ace nodded at that as they walked off with the others behind them.

"You do have the Duel Disk, Mr. Bohman gave you for your Birthday?" Sandy asked him.

Ace nodded. "Yeah, I do."

"Okay now let's see how your next deck will take you!" Sandy called readying herself.

Ace looked at Sandy before nodding. "Ok, big sis Alex makes Synchro look fun."

They both armed themselves.

"DUEL!"


(Dueling Theme: Suffer by News Years Day)

Ace: 4000

Sandy: 4000

"For you to better understand your cards I'll go first." Sandy smiled.

Ace nodded. "Ok Sandy."

Sandy 1st Turn:

"Okay!" Sandy called drawing, "And now I activate Terraforming!"

"Oh, did we miss much?" Cathy asked walking up with Black Fang.

She has her new tail secure as a belt for her pants.

"Actually you just arrived at the first turn." Blue Frost smiled.

Black Fang nodded. "That's good, we can cheer on Ace."

"I add a Field Spell to the hand, and I activate it!" Sandy called.


Creation Salvation

"She definitely isn't holding back." Ray admitted.

"That's true, but she can't attack so Ace can try and figure out something." White Wing mentioned.

"And now I tune them together!" Sandy called as the two flew up.

(LV: 2 + 3 = 5)

"Mighty heaven force be joined forces to revive the Creator of the World! Synchro Summon! Level 5, Creation Monarch, Fortitudo!"

At that a two headed white dragon appeared roaring.

"Your monster's are still really strong looking Sandy." Ace admitted.

"Well I'll set a card, and let you go ahead." Sandy smiled.

"That's it!" Sandy smiled to him.

Ace blushed at that before taking a breath. "Ok, level two Shiranui Spectralsword tunes with level four Shiranui Squire to Synchro Summon Shiranui Samuraisaga!"

"Now attack."

The monster charged striking Fortitudo. (Sandy: 3800)

"I end my turn." Ace smiled.

Sandy smiled to him, "So how is it to duel with Zombies?"

"A little scary, but these ones don't look like the scary ones." Ace admitted.

"Well Spectralsword has a good ability." Sandy smiled.

"Wait, she knows his monster's ability? Isn't this his first duel with that deck?" Cathy inquired. "That seems a bit unfair doesn't it?"

"Well to be honest it's a deck I used to work with." Sandy admitted.

"Then you probably know what Ace is up to, so the question is will you stop him or let him try whatever he has in mind?" Ray asked her.

"I'll let him try so he can learn his deck more." Sandy smiled.

Ace frowned. "Please don't let me win Sandy."

"It's not about winning or losing but it's to help you learn your deck." Sandy told him.

"That's not what I mean." Ace admitted looking down. "I... I want to have fun though, and it isn't fun if you just let me win. We can practice together a lot, right?"

"Yeah if that's what you want." Sandy smiled.


Ace: 4000

Sandy: 3800


Sandy 2nd Turn:

"My turn!" Sandy called drawing.

Ace watched with a smile only to pause and look down with a blush.

"I tribute Samuraisaga to destroy both your monsters."

His Synchro vanished as the two shattered.

"Then I'm supposed to banish a Shiranui monster, and I pick... Shiranui Spiritmaster." Ace continued. "He says if I banish him I get to destroy one of your cards so... I pick Creation Salvation."

Her field spell shattered as she smiled, "With it's departure Beauty goes with it."

Beauty shattered.

"And since Sandy already normal summoned this turn she probably can't do anything else." Blue Frost mentioned thoughtfully.

"Maybe, but we don't know what she has in her hand." Ray pointed out.

Sandy looked at her hand.

"Are you ok Sandy?" Ace asked.

"Yeah. Your turn." Sandy told him.

Ace 2nd Turn:

Ace drew his card. "I play Shiranui Spectralsword's ability. I get to banish him and Samuraisaga from my graveyard to summon Shiranui Shogunsaga."

"Then Shogunsaga's ability banishes Squire and he gets Squire's points."

Shiranui Shogunsaga: (ATK: 3000 + 1500 = 4500)

Ace smiled seeing that.

"It's as strong as uncle Seto's monster."

Sandy giggled at this.

"Shiranui Shogunsaga attack Sandy directly!" Ace called only to pause. "Um... but gently please."

The Zombie walked, and lightly tapped Sandy.


Ace: 4000

Sandy: 0000

Ace wins the duel!


"It seems we came just in time." mentioned a voice.

They looked over.

It was Declan, Riley, and Casey.

"Will the rest of our extended family and friends be here soon, I have something to discuss with everyone." Declan told them.

"I'll call them." Julie said going to her Duel Disk.

Declan nodded at that.

"You did amazing Ace. You look calm around Zombies now." Cathy smiled.

Ace shuddered slightly. "I need more practice though..."

She took his hand before asking, "You want to see something cool?"

"Ok." Ace giggled.

At that she unfurled her tail. Ace's eyes widened in awe. "You have a tail aunt Cathy?"

"Black Fang gave it to me after I asked him." Cathy smiled as she used her tail to curl around his wrist.

Black Fang chuckled. "Well, who am I to refuse my adorable wife when she asks for something?"

"And another something that will come later." Cathy smiled placing a hand on her stomach.

Ace's eyes lit up before he smiled and hugged Ray.

"Mommy did you hear it, another one."

"We're gonna need a lot of baby things, and maybe like a new house to manage them all." Ray admitted before starting to laugh.

Cathy, White Wing, and Blue Frost all started laughing with her.

"What you all laughing about?" Rin asked as the rest arrived with them.

"Cathy's joining the club." White Wing answered putting a hand on her stomach.

"Our family's growing huge." the dirty blonde haired boy admitted.

"Yeah, it is." Zarc agreed only to pause and turn to Declan. "You mentioned wanting to tell us something?"

"Me, Kaiba, and everyone else decided the date of the tournament." Declan answered.

"Oh, when will it start?" Ray asked him.

"A week from now." Declan answered.

"A week, I'm looking forward to this already." Yuri smirked.

"Oh... how many people are going to be in it uncle Declan?" Ace asked.

"A lot." Declan answered.

Ace looked thoughtful before turning to Zarc who smiled and nodded.

"You planning to enter?" Sandy asked with a smile.

Ace smiled. "I think so."

Sandy kissed him. Ace froze and blushed at that.

"Cute." Cathy giggled.

"He sure is." Ray agreed.

"My Ghosts will be ready after improving." Sandy smiled to Ace.

Ace smiled at that.

"I hope my Shiranui will do you well." Sandy smiled to him.

Ace blushed before whispering to her.

"I... have a lot of decks I want to use though." he admitted.

"I'll help you use them." Sandy smiled to him.

Ace smiled. "Thank you Sandy."

"Your welcome." Sandy smiled.

Suddenly someone gasped. They looked over at that. White Wing was holding her stomach and looked shocked.

"What's wrong White Wing?" Alex asked walking over.

She smiled before putting Alex's hand on her stomach where she felt a kick. Alex smiled at that, "I wonder how my little brothers will do in this big family."

"They'll have an interesting time growing up." White Wing smiled.

"Oh that reminds me, do you mind if I ask you two something?" Zarc inquired to Bonnie and Mason.

"Yeah?" Bonnie asked curiously.

"Well, do either of you have someone special like Ace and Sandy have each other?" Zarc asked.

"Well Mason doesn't. My guy is off at the countryside." Bonnie admitted.

Zarc nodded at that. That was when he noticed Mason turned away blushing after seeing Amanda. Zarc frowned at that. 'She's too young, maybe there's going to be someone at the tournament.'

That was when he remembered he, and Ace are the same age which is 2 years older then Amanda.

"Daddy?" Ace asked walking over to him. "Can you help me so I'm ready?"

"Sure." Zarc smiled to them.

"Oh I just remembered something." the dirty blonde haired boy mentioned.

"Yeah Larsa?" Celina asked.

The boy known as Larsa mentioned, "If you all need a big place to help with the kids maybe my old house should cover it. It's pretty big."

"You don't mind?" Ray asked him.

"Of course not. I'm not able to manage it by myself since my parents passed on, and I became a member of your family." Larsa explained with a smile, "People are planning to take it down but you guys should manage to use it for the kids, and fix it up."

"That's really kind of you, thanks." Zarc smiled.

Larsa smiled back nodding, "It's the least I can do for taking me in after that mishap where I dueled Dad."

Yuri sighed at that only to suddenly wince. "Again?"

Celina patted his back.

"Thanks Celina." Yuri smiled before taking a breath only to smirk and glance at Yuto and Yuki. "Oh yeah, has Ace seen our ace monster?"

"Nah." Yuki grinned handing Frozen Heart while Yuto did the same with Dark Rebellion.

Yuri took them. "Ace, you want to see the monster that brought your daddy back?"

Ace looked over curiously.

Yuri summoned the three dragons as they roared. "Alright, I use Polymerization to merge Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Frozen Heart Ritual Dragon, and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon together."

The three of them roared again as they entered the Fusion Vortex.

"Ace, meet Supreme King Death Dragon - Glacial Toxin Revolt Dragon!"

The dragon appeared letting out a huge roar. Ace's eyes widened in awe seeing the dragon causing Yuri to chuckle.

"It was thanks to this dragon we got to save your daddy from the mean people he told you about." Yuri chuckled as the dragon faded.

That was when Dawn looked troubled. Blue Frost gently put a hand on her shoulder seeing that.

"I'm worried..." Dawn admitted, "Sardon..."

"I wouldn't worry, we're a lot stronger than we were before." Purple Poison mentioned. "Double Iris and Declan especially with their new tricks."

"And we're ready for whatever tricks he has." Haru smiled.

Dawn smiled at this.


A few days later...

"So what ya think?" Larsa asked standing in front of a big house.

"That... wow." Yuya said in awe.

"Yeah it's big." Larsa chuckled.

Yuki frowned. "It won't bring up any bad memories?"

"No. I'm over it now." Larsa smiled.

"That's true, and if you're ever sad you have us right little brother?" Lilly asked hugging him.

"Yeah big sis." Larsa smiled hugging her back.

The others all smiled at that.


bopdog111: They had a big moment.

Ulrich362: True, very true... though with a few more days before this tournament Declan mentioned what will happen next?

bopdog111: We will see.

Ulrich362: Agreed, see you in the next chapter.
