Chara smiled at Frisk's comment only to suddenly frown. "Do you guys think we can really help Yugi?"
"OF COURSE WE WILL HUMAN CHARA, YOU AND FRISK ARE BOTH REMARKABLE PEOPLE AND EVEN IF PEGASUS HAS SOME STRANGE POWER YOU HAVE SOMETHING HE CANNOT DEFEAT!" Papyrus declared confidently.
"Papyrus is right Chara, you both are determined to help the people you care about." Asgore smiled. "It may not be easy but we believe in you.'
"Dad… thanks." Chara said before hugging him.
"heh, shouldn't have ever worried about you Chara." Sans smiled. "you're a great kid, and tibia honest helping you out was one of the best things we could have ever done."
"Exactly." Frisk added with a smile
"Well, why are we standing around here?" Undyne questioned. "You've got half those star chips already so you'll be winning before you know it."
"That sounds like a plan to me." Toriel smiled as the group walked off along with Alice.

"Huh, isn't that Yugi and his friends?" Alphys asked suddenly as the group noticed Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan, and a figure in a dark cloak near a field.
"Yeah it is, but who's that with them?" Chara asked before frowning. "Sans, can you see anything?"
Sans just frowned as he stared at the figure. "not sure, but whoever it is they're not friendly."
"Hey!" Undyne called running to them. "What's going on?"
"Huh, you're uh… Undyne right?" Joey asked. "The one who saved me back on the boat."
"That's right, what's going on?" Toriel asked. "Is this another duelist competing in the tournament?"
"A duelist, well that's accurate at least." the cloaked figure smirked. "I am one of Pegasus' Eliminators, a group of powerful duelists Pegasus instructed to weed out the weaker duelists in the competition."
"He means they use underhanded tactics to win duels and take all of your star chips and then once you run out you're forced off the island." Yugi clarified.
"It's what I was hired to do, now then as I was saying Yugi Muto you're my next opponent." the cloaked figure smirked as one of the arenas appeared behind him.
"Yugi, are you sure you can handle this guy?" Chara asked. "If he cheats in the duel then…"
"Don't worry about Yugi Chara, he can handle this creep no problem." Joey grinned.
"Joey's right, Yugi's the last person you need to worry about in a duel." Tristan added as the Millennium Puzzle began to glow before Yugi was enveloped in a flash of light only to suddenly appear taller and more mature when it faded.
"Alright, if you want a duel you've got one." Yugi stated before the Eliminator smirked and the two of them took their places on the dueling arena.
"that's not something humans are supposed to be able to do, mind explaining that one?" Sans requested.
"I don't fully get it myself, but it's the Millennium Puzzle. Somehow ever since he solved it there have been two Yugis." Joey answered before pausing. "Actually, it's kind of like Frisk and Chara now that I think of it."
"The Millennium Puzzle created a second SOUL for Yugi?" Frisk questioned in shock. "That's incredible."
"Maybe, but we can ask Yugi about it after he beats this guy." Chara mentioned before turning to watch the duel.

"Let's duel!" Yugi and the Eliminator declared simultaneously.
Yugi 2000 Eliminator 2000: "I'll go first Yugi, and I'll start the duel by summoning Marauding Captain in attack mode, and his special ability allows me to call a second Marauding Captain to the field as well." the Eliminator stated. "That ends my turn."
"In that case it's my move, so I'll start by summoning Gaia the Fierce Knight in attack mode, and now I'll attack your Marauding Captain!" Yugi called only for his monster to stay motionless. "What in the world?"
"Marauding Captain has a second special ability, as long as he's in play none of my other warriors can be attacked and since I have two of them in play neither of my monsters can be attacked." the Eliminator revealed. "Which means you can't attack me at all."
Yugi frowned hearing that. "I end my turn by setting two cards facedown."
"Which means it's my move once again, and I think I'll start things off by summoning Freed the Matchless General in attack mode." the Eliminator smirked. "He matches your monster exactly."
"Then what's the point of that move?" Yugi questioned. "If our monsters have the same attack points they'll both be destroyed."
"That's true, but I have the spell card The A. Forces, which means for every Warrior or Spellcaster on my field all of my warriors gain 200 attack points." the Eliminator revealed. "Now, Freed destroys your Gaia the Fierce Knight!"
"I wouldn't be so certain." Yugi stated suddenly. "I activate the trap card Mirror Force!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Nice, that'll teach this creep not to mess with Yugi." Joey grinned.
"IS MIRROR FORCE THAT HELPFUL A CARD?" Papyrus inquired curiously.
"Definitely, see the Mirror Force trap destroys every monster that Eliminator has in attack mode." Tea explained. "Which gives Yugi a huge advantage."
"That's incredible." Asgore noted. "One card can do that whenever your opponent attacks?"
"Yeah, it's a powerful trap and can turn around the most dangerous situations." Joey nodded. "Something tells me it'll make you less likely to attack right Chara?"
"Maybe, but as long as one of the four of us manages to win that's the important thing." Chara smiled. "Plus, knowing that Yugi has that card is a huge help."
"That's true, but right now I just want Yugi to win the match." Frisk admitted. "We need to work together if we want to rescue his grandpa."
"Yeah, I know Frisk. Don't worry we'll definitely rescue him." Chara told her. "We're halfway to the castle, and then our Determination will help us beat Pegasus."
Frisk just nodded as she turned to watch the match.
(Frisk's group has reunited with Yugi's and they've learned of the existence of a group known as the Eliminators who were hired to defeat competitors in Duelist Kingdom. Next chapter Yugi's duel with the Eliminator will end and the two groups will discuss what has happened since Duelist Kingdom began. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
