Back inside of the meeting room of the Lich Yard, they were talking to Dark Acolyte about his loss to Manda.

The hooded duelist sighed and replied, "I tried my best to defeat him, sir. I would of won, but she did that amazing combo of hers. I'll do better the next I have to duel for you, sir."

The knight looked at him and replied, "Don't be so hard on yourself, young man. You did the best you could. Your Vendread deck is really strong and if you had some more cards to use, you could of done more to help us out. Besides, my deck is ready to go against those brats anyway. I'll destroy any of his decks."

He nodded and replied, "Thank you so much, sir. I'm going to my cabin to head to sleep now. Good night, sir."

He nodded as he left the building and Reize then replied, "He doesn't take losing that well, does he?"

"I've seen him duel 3 times and he lost his first one with his old deck and then he got a win with the deck he had now. He does what he can to support me and my group. I Can't want to destroy either of their decks."

Reize nodded and replied, "I've seen you use your deck many of times and loved it each and every time as well. You'll do just fine."

"Thanks, son. Let's go get Dark Acolyte and we'll have our newest recruit make us some food. You hungry, Reize?"

"I really am, Specter Knight. I wanted a snack while watching that duel, but the duel was so good that I wanted to watch the whole thing."

"I can't blame you for that one, Reize. Let's get something to eat."

He nodded as they both left the cabin.

Back in the bunker's dining area, We were chatting with the King and his sons about the duel that happened while Manda was going over her deck that won her the toughest duel she's ever been in.

Lord Pridmoor nodded and replied,"I'm so proud of your hard work in your duel, Manda. You dueled as hard as you could and you win against one of the best duelists known on the island. You should be proud of your hard work, my young friend."

Manda only smiled and I looked at her and resumed, "Your Fiend deck is even better then before, girl."

Her sister nodded as she took the card and replied, "This is the best deck I ever made. I used to use a Amazoness Deck, but I like this deck better and the cards I have are better then my old one."

"Very noble of you,sis. After this mess is all over with, I want to duel you with my Dragon deck to see who much we've improved as duelists."

Manda smiled and replied, "I actually always wanted to duel against your Dragon deck, but I'll wait to face it myself. I can't wait for the duel."

We both nodded and then Jordan then replied, "This will be amazing duel to watch. I Can't wait for that day."

Lord Pridmoor nodded and he hooked at his son Dennis and he replied, "How's the future right now, son?"

He sighed and replied, "My friend and her girlfriend are on good terms with the Knights there, but they're not allowed to see each other after work for the next 8 months. Those knights are making them both so damn miserable now. I Can't wait to we finish and seal way that horrid Enchantress once in and for all."

"I understand that one, son. With the girls we have here now, we'll win against her and those knights. We can do it for the island."

Manda looked at Jordan and resumed, "Do you mind of I duel the knight, Jordan? My deck is a powerful one and I Can beat that child in a duel, I Can do this one as well."

Jordan smiled and resumed, "I wouldn't mind that at all, Manda. Your her sister and I would love to see more of your Fiend deck as well."

She smiled and then Lord Pridmoor looked back at her and resumed, "Is your deck ready for your fight against Specter Knight tomorrow, young lady? I heard his deck is much stronger then Dark Acolyte's deck would ever be."

She nodded and then replied, "My deck is really for anything they send my way, sir. With the extra cards I got from your vault and the extra ones I brought with me to the island, my deck is really for anything their group sends my way, sir."

"Sounds good to me, young man. I can't wait to see you after your victory over him."

They all nodded as the Gastromoner and replied, "The Chicken Alfredo dinner is ready now, sir. You all ready for the meal?"

He looked at the us and we all nodded to him and he looked at the cook and replied, "Go ahead and bring the meal to us."

He nodded as he left and I smiled and replied, "Yum! I love Chicken Alfredo. It's my favorite pasta dish of all time."

Jordan only smiled as Manda went to gather her cards up.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Later on that night in the meeting room, Specter Knight was going over his deck one last time before his duel against the girls.

He nodded and replied, "Dark Acolyte may have been a failure for me as a duelist, but my deck is so much better then his will ever be. I can't wait to crush those girls with my deck."

As he continued to work on his deck, he heard knocking at his door and he sighed and replied, "What do they want now? I thought both are sleeping now."

He got up and walked up to the door and he opened up and Black Knight was there and Specter Knight groaned and replied, "Of all things to bother me, you had to show up here to talk to me. What do you want now?"

The knight let out a annoying laugh and Specter Knight groaned and replied, "Please, stop with that horrid laugh. No one likes it."

"Everyone is a critic these days. Me and the Enchantress heard about your apprentice's loss to the demon girl."

"Are you here to rub in my face that one my crew member lost?"

He let out another laugh and replied, "Not at all. She wanted me to give you this card."

a Effect monster appeared in his hand and he handed it to him and he saw the card and he nodded and replied, "That's a card I've been wanting for this deck for ages now. Why would she be nice enough to hand me such a mighty and rare card?"

"She just wants you to do what King Kngiht failed to do and that is actually defeat one of those brats in a duel, Specter Knight. You do that and send her to the Enchantress and you'll be rewarded with anything you can think off from the island."

He nodded and replied, "I'll do whatever I can to win the duel, Black Knight. Tell the boss lady that."

"I will do that. Don't fail us or you'll regret it big time."

he walked away and vanished in a cloud of black smoke and the knight closed the door and he sighed and replied, "I can't wait to finally shut that knight up for once by showing them I can crush one of those girls!"

"I HEARD THAT!", Black Knight's voice yelled out with a laugh and he groaned and replied, "I hate it when he does that. So annoying."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

That next day, We were enjoying breakfast of the classic combo of bacon and eggs. Jordan had her deck ready to duel and was enjoying her meal.

Lord Pridmoor looked at Manda and replied, "You ready for your big duel today, young lady?"

She nodded and replied, "I redid it a little bit and I think it's ready for any duel, sir. My deck has a lot of great cards in it and I'll crush anything he sends my way."

"Sounds good to me, Jordan. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get the win you deserve."

He nodded as we all continued to eat their breakfast.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

After they all finished eating, We all left to face off against Specter Knight and after meeting Dark Acolyte at the main door, he lead to the middle of the yard where a dueling arena was located. Each area that a Knight was in charge off had a dueling arena just in case they had to duel someone.

Manda looked at the hooded minion and replied, "I really hope your group haven't been bothering the ones resting in peace here or their tombstones."

He sighed and replied, "I promise that they'll never be bothered at all. The Enchantress told use herself to leave the stones alone at all times."

Suddenly, light posts around the arena started to turned as the red-caped knight with his scythe suddenly appeared and he replied, "Morning to you all. I'm Specter Knight, Enforcer for the Quarter of New Order and I'm here in charge of the Lich Yard at all times. Who will I be dueling today?"

Jordan raised her hand and the Knight nodded and replied, "The Ocean master, eh? Sounds like a plan to me. Let's get going then."

His scythe glowed as it turned into a functional duel disk with the correct number of slots and Jordan nodded and replied, "Nice touch."

He nodded as they both activated their duel disks and both drew 5 cards from their decks and he smiled evily and replied, "Ready to fall to my amazing deck, lady?"

"I won't lose to any knight and that includes you as well, Specter Knight."

"Game on!", both yelled out.

-o-o-o-o-o-o- (Specter Knight LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o- (Manda LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o-o-o-

The knight then replied, "You get the first move, young lady."

"Sounds like a plan to me. I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I'll start with Inari's Charity."

A spell appeared on his side of the field.

"Next, I summon the mighty Yōkai demon Gozuki."

As he sat the card down, the horse-headed demon zombie appeared with a large hammer (ATK: 1,700).

"I'll discard a zombie from my deck."

He did so and then replied, "I'll attack your facedown monster."

It went in and a Skull Knight #2 appeared on the card (DEF: 1,200) and it smashed the Fiend into small black shards.

"Your monsters won't get passed me, lady. i End my turn now."

She drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Archfiend Soldier."

As she sat the card down, the evil foot soldier appeared (ATK: 1,900).

"Attack his monster."

It went in and brought his sword, cutting the zombie from top to bottom. The two halves shattered into dust (Specter Knight LP: 8000 - 7800).

"First hit to me. Your turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "You are a clever one, young lady. I'll set a monster and that'll end my turn now."

Manda drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Disc Demon."

She played the card and the colorful demon appeared again (ATK: 1,800).

"Soldier, attack!"

It went in and a and a strange zombie with a single eye and a long tongue appeared (DEF: 0) and the soldier swung his sword and ripping into small shreds and then and Specter Knight nodded and replied, "When my Karakasa is flipped up, I can Special Summon any number of them from my deck and I have only one more of them."

Another facedown monster appeared and the Soldier went and slashed the other one to pieces and I looked at Jordan and replied, "This might be a Yōkai deck, Jordan.'

She sighed and replied, "If this is a full Yōkai deck she may be in trouble. Those are some of the best zombies in the game."

She pointed as the demon let out a burst of sharp discs and the shot out and sliced through the strange Yōkai monster and ripped it to pieces and then the knight moaned (Specter Knight LP: 7800 - 7500).

"Your move now, knight."

The knight drew a card and then resumed, "I now use the effect of my Ijū the Strange Beast. Since it's in my graveyard, I can tribute a Zombie to summon it."

As strange zombie vanished, A large hairy beast-like Yōkai appeared (ATK: 2,300) and Manda nodded and replied, "These monsters are getting weirder and weirder."

"Time to battle. Destroy her Demon."

It charged in and her soldier was blown shards as the demon-like zombie rammed its hairy arm into it (Jordan LP: 8000 - 7500).

"Your turn now, child."

Manda drew a card and replied, "I'll switch my Soldier to defense and then I"ll set a new monster facedown and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I summon the Yōkai known as Onagakokuba that is also known as the Long-Tailed Black Horse."

As he sat the card down, a beast-like Yōkai appeared with a long black tail (naturally) and it appeared with a snort-like noise (ATK: 1,400).

"Once per turn, I discard a Zombie monster to give it 500 attack points."

As he took a card and discarded it, the horse Yōkai glowed even more (ATK: 1,400 - 1,900).

"I now equip my Iju with my Soul Kanabō."

Suddenly, a glowing wooden kanabō appeared in his hands.

"He can now do piercing damage. Attack her soldier."

The zombie went and slammed its new weapon into the Fiend and blew the soldier to pieces (Jordan LP: 7500 - 6700).

"Onagakokuba, attack."

IT shot its tail out and a female Fiend with various black wings appeared (DEF: 2,000) and the tail struck her and did nothing to her (Specter Knight LP: 7500 - 7400) and she smiled and replied, "my Alice, Lady of Lament a bit too strong for your Yōkai, buddy."

"So it is. I end my turn now."

Manda drew a card and then resumed, "I activate my facedown card."

The trap appeared.

"It's called Archfiend's Ghastly Glitch and if I control a Fiend monster, one of your cards is destroyed and then I can send any Fiend from my deck to the graveyard."

A burst of dark energy shot out from the trap and struck the stronger Yōkai monster and he groaned and the burst into fragments and Specter Knight sighed and replied, "When my equip card is sent to the graveyard, I can banish it and send any Zombie monster to the my graveyard."

He banished the card and then sent another Zombie to the graveyard.

"I now tribute my Alice to bring forth another new card. I bring forth my the Space Demon."

Alice smiled and vanished into black fiery embers as a A Fiend with a skull-like head inside of a bulky spacesuit appeared (ATK: 2,400). I watched this amazing monster being and it looked just as amazing as the other ones she's played and used so far.

"When this one attacks, that monster has its base attack score. Attack her monster."

Its helmet opened up and let a really loud creepy laugh and the soundwave shot out and started to tear into the demon horse (ATK: 1,900 - 1,400) and it let out a deep moan before it burst in a burning heap of fiery embers & ash that quickly dissipated (Specter Knight LP: 7400 - 6400).

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

She drew a new card and resumed, "I'll summon a Opticlops."

As he sat the card down, the one-eyed ogre appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"Lets do it. Opticlops, attack."

Her Space demon let out another chilling roar and the soundwave shot out and a strange ape-like human appeared on the card (DEF: 1,000) and the zombie demon was blasted into shards and then it reappeared and Specter Knight then replied, "When my Satori the Mountain Yōkai is destroyed, I can bring him back."

She only sighed It reappeared and she sighed and pointed as he swung his chain and it struck the Yōkai ape creature, smashing it to pieces.

"Your move now, Knight."

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I activate my Foolish Burial."

He discarded a monster from the deck and then resumed, "When I destroyed a monster with a Zombie monster, my charity card gained a Counter and now since my Inari's Charity has 2 counters on it, I'll banish it and draw 2 cards and then I have to banish the same number of cards from my deck."

The spell fell apart into small shards and then he drew 2 cards and then banished the next two cards and then resumed, "I now activate my Haunted Shrine to bring my Yuki-Onna."

As the trap flipped up, a zombified female Yōkai with blue eyes and wearing a white kimono appeared with a evil glare (ATK: 1,000).

"Since I Special Summoned her from the graveyard, I can Special Summon my Onmaraki."

As he sat the card down, a Yōkai demon-like crane appeared (ATK: 1,200).

"Since I Special Summoned my monster from my graveyard, I draw a card."

He drew a card from his deck and then he resumed, "I tune my monsters together."

The Yōkai lady glowed as she split into 2 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through the crane, which turned into 4 white stars (*2 + *4 = *6)

"A demon-like treasure sails through the seas looking for treasures and souls to keep. It'll destroy any monster with its cannons! Synchro Summon! Appear from the sea, Takarabune The Treasure Ship."

As she sat the card down, a large wooden ship with a large white sail with red kanji designs on it appeared (ATK: 2,300).

"Since I Synchro Summoned him, we both draw 2 cards."

Both drew 2 cards and then Specter Knight nodded and resumed, "My Synchro gains 100 attack for each card in my hand during my turn."

The cannons began to glow (ATK: 2,300 - 2,900).

"Lets do it. Destroy her Opticlops."

The Synchro glowed as a burst of fiery skulls shot out from the cannons and struck down the Fiend and blowing it to pieces (Manda LP: 7500 - 6400).

"When my Ship destroys a monster, I can draw a card and then I have to discard one."

He drew a card and then he took a card from his hand and discarded it and he resumed, "Your move now."

She drew a card and replied, 'I'll set a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I summon my Mezuki."

He played the card and one of the famous Zombie monsters in the game appeared (ATK: 1,700).

"The demon charged in and slashed at the Space Demon and it moaned in pain as its helmet shattered into small shards before the Fiend collapsed and then exploded into shards and she sighed and resumed, "When Space Demon is wiped out. I Can banish it and Shuffle 3 Fiends from my graveyard back to my deck."

She banished the card and took her Alice, Lady of Lament, Archfiend Soldier and her Disc Demon and shuffled the cards into the deck.

"My Synchro attacks now."

It aimed its cannons and she nodded and then resumed, "I activate my facedown card."

The trap appeared.

"It's called Dusk Lamp and it get's summoned to my field and I take no damage from battles involving it."

A Mystic Lamp covered with black and green metal appeared with a small wisps of green smoke coming out it (DEF: 1,400) and the skull barrage smashed the lamp into small metal fragments and Jordan smiled and resumed, "Since it was destroyed, your monster loses 900 attack."

The Synchro began to splinter (ATK: 2,900 - 2,000).

"You are a clever one, my friend. I have nothing else I can do."

His turned ended (ATK: 2,000 - 1,500) as Manda drew a card and then resumed, "I use the effect of my Zalamander Catalyzer."

She flipped the card and show the image of a fiery demon and then she resumed, "I can reveal this card and another Fiend and I can Special Summon one of the two and discard the other one."

She flipped another card around and it was a Summoned Skull and she discarded the first card as the legendary demon skeleton appeared with a deep roar (ATK: 2,500) and the she discarded the other one and then resumed, "Destroy his Synchro with Lightning Strike!"

The demon let out another powerful roar as a huge burst of electricity slammed into and cracks formed all over the ship before it exploded into a shower of wooden splinters and globs of water (Specter Knight LP: 6400 - 5400).

"Take that! I end my turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and resumed, "I'll switch my Mezuki to defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and that's all for me."

She drew a card and replied, "I summon my Mefist the Demon Horseman."

As he sat the card down, a demonic knight riding a black armored demon-like horse appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"Mefist can do piercing damage. Mefist, attack."

the horseman went in and slashed with his dark sword, slicing Mezuki cleanly down the middle. The two halves dissolved into dust (Specter Knight LP: 5400 - 4800).

"Since this Mefist destroyed a monster, I can use one of your effects. I'll force to discard a random card from your hand."

He nodded and discarded a card.

"Skull, attack."

The wings of the demon began to glow as a huge burst of lightning shot out and a Morphing Jar appeared on the card (DEF: 600) before the blasted obliterated it and both discarded their current hands and both drew 5 cards.

"Your turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I activate my Book of Life."

The spell appeared and another Crow Tengu appeared (ATK: 1,400) and the eyes of the demon crow glowed as her Summoned Skull was blasted into small pieces.

"Banish your Summoned Skull."

She nodded and banished it.

"I now summon my Uni-Zombie."

As he sat the card down, a duo of zombies appeared (ATK: 1,100).

"I tune my monsters together."

The zombies glowed as it split into 3 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through Crow Tengu, which turned into 4 white stars (*3 + *4 = *7).

"I don't have a Synchro Chant for this one, but I Synchro Summon the mighty Tsuchigumo."

As he sat the card down, a large spider-like Yōkai appeared (ATK: 2,750) and Jordan sighed and replied, "Every time she gets a monster in, he gets a new monster summoned to the field."

"I use his effect. I draw a card and if it's a Zombie, I can reveal it to you and draw again."

He drew a card and it was a Sangan and he banished the card facedown and resumed, "No big loss. Destroy his General."

The huge spider Yōkai let out a burst of acidic white spider webs and they struck the armor of the fiend and he groaned as his armor melted and then it shattered to bits before the acid attack can melt him away (Manda LP: 5400 - 4450).

"Your move now."

Emmie drew a card and replied, "I summon my Dark Resonator."

As he sat the card down, the Fiend with a large tune fork appeared (ATK: 1,300).

"I now activate my Silent Doom."

Suddenly, Archfiend Soldier reappeared (DEF: 1,500).

"I tune my monsters together."

The fiend glowed as it split into 3 white stars, whch turned into green rings and the rings went through the soldier, which turned into 4 white stars (*3 + *4 = *7).

"A evil king attacks with swift fiery attacks of pure evil and true power! This creature will destroy anything in his way! Synchro Summon! From the Underworld, Chaos King Archfiend!"

As she sat the card down, the demon king appeared (ATK: 2,600).

"Attack his Synchro!"

The fiend rushed and the spider Yōkai glowed (ATK: 2,750 - 1,250) before her Synchro slashed at the huge spider and it thrashed around in pain and then it collapsed to the ground, exploding into a shower of brown shards that flew everywhere (Specter Knight LP: 4800 - 3450) and then a smaller spider zombie appeared (DEF: 500).

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I'll set a new monster facedown and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

She drew a card and resumed, "I summon my GIl Garth."

She played the card and the metal Fiend appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"There you go. Archfiend, attack."

It went in and a strange Yōkai that looked like a pile of floating white rags appeared on the card (DEF: 1,500 - 1,200) before it slashed at and it burst into fiery embers and they shot out and burned the Synchro's skin (ATK: 2,600 - 2,100) and Specter Knight nodded and replied, "When my Ittan Momen leaves the field, any monster loses 500 attack."

"Darn it. Destroy her token."

The demon went in and he nodded and resumed, ""I activate my Negate Attack."

The trap appeared.

"Darn it. I end my turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and replied, "I'll tribute a token to summon my best non-Synchro monster of this deck."

As one of the spiders dissolved into brown mist, a huge single-eyed giant of a Yōkai appeared with a roar (ATK: 2,900 - 3,100).

"Meet the mighty and powerful Daidara-Bocchi."

Jordan looked at the giant and replied, "Wow."

Manda then replied, "What a giant eyesore that thing is."

Next, I'll banish a Mezuki to Special Summon my Kambari Priest you made me discard earlier."

As he banished the Mezuki, A brown-skinned Yōkai wearing a white tattered shirt and pants appeared (ATK: 1,400 - 1,700) - (ATK: 3,100 - 3,600).

My giant friend also gains 200 attack for every Zombie on the field except himself and also, Kanbari Priest gives every zombie 300 attack as well. Smash her Gil Garth."

the mighty Fiend went in and slammed his large hand down and smashed her FIend to pieces (Manda LP: 3600 - 1800).

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Emmie drew a card and replied,"I'll switch her to defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."

Specter Knight drew a card and and Emmie smiled and replied, "Time for something different. I activate my facedown Dark Omen - Wrath of Evil."

The trap appeared.

"With this card, I can tribute a Dark Fiend monster to decrease the ATK of a monster you control equal to its base attack."

Her Synchro vanished in a cloud of black smoke and the smoke went in and covered the giant's head (ATK: 3,600 - 1,000).

"What a move. I'll switch my Priest to defense and that'll do it for me."

Emmie drew a card and replied, "Time for some more fun. I activate Monster Reborn to revive my Summoned Skull."

The Skull demon reappeared (ATK: 2,500).

"I'll activate Curse of the Masked Beast."

The spell appeared.

"I'll give up my Diabolica the Draconique Genera and Winged Minion for the offering."

The two Fiends appeared and faded away into small black pixels as the mighty demon-like centaur appeared (ATK: 3,200).

"I now summon my La Jinn."

She played the card and the genie with a deep laugh (ATK: 1,800).

"Lets do this. La Jinn, attack."

The demon glowed as a burst of fiery embers flew and buned the Priest to ashes.

"Summoned Skull, attack!"

The demon glowed as a burst of thunder bolts shot out and slammed into the Giant zombie and it let out a deep moan of pain before it exploded in a shower of dust (Specter Knight LP: 3450 - 1350).

"Masked Beast, End this!"

The demon went and slammed its cudgel into the knight and dented his armor a little bit (Specter Knight LP: 1350 - 0) and then Jordan smiled and replied, "Yay, girl!"

The 3 Fiends all vanished into black smoke and then I smiled and replied, "Great dueling, girl!"

Manda nodded and she stared at the knight and replied, "You owe us a key, Knight."

He only sighed as he got up and replied, "Follow me, then."
