"You should be careful Frisk, who knows what else those Eliminator guys might be planning, and we have to make sure we qualify for the finals if we want to defeat Pegasus and help your friend Yugi." Chara pointed out. "Maybe we should start working as a team in these matches instead of one at a time."
"You have a good point Chara, but we'll be ok for now and if something does happen where we need to work together, we'll always have each other's support." Frisk replied.
"Yeah, you have a point." Chara. Smiled.
"Well where do you want to look for an opponent now Frisk?" Asgore inquired curiously.
"You're Frisk, you don't look special." stated a voice from behind them. "Well, no time like the present to deal with an amateur like you."
"Huh?" Frisk asked turning to see a blonde man wearing a bandanna and sun glasses holding two Star Chips. "Who are you?"
The man frowned. "Is that some kind of joke, I'm the U.S National Duel Monsters champion, Bandit Keith, and I'm going to give you the honor of a match."
"You're challenging me to a match?" Frisk asked. "I'm honored Mr. Keith."
Bandit Keith paused at that before smirking. "Well, let's get this show on the road kid."
Frisk nodded back as they walked over to an arena near a meadow.

"Well, this should give me a chance to see how skilled Frisk truly is." Pegasus noted calmly. "I do hope she's prepared for his… less than proper dueling etiquette. Though with Chara keeping an eye on things I doubt I'll have much to worry about."
At that exact moment a man in a suit approached him. "Mr. Pegasus… there's a situation sir. Someone is attempting to hack into the Industrial Illusions mainframe."
Pegasus let out a small sigh. "I'm well aware of what Kaiba is planning, why don't we let him enjoy the show? It might teach him a thing or two about disappointing me by losing to little Yugi."
"Of course, it's just…" the suited man started uncertainly.
"You're concerned about giving him too much information am I correct?" Pegasus questioned before chuckling and taking another sip of wine. "You shouldn't worry, he won't be an issue."
The suited man nodded at that before walking off.

"I'll wager these two Star Chips." Bandit Keith smirked. "Sound like a fair trade?"
"Alright, two Star Chips is ok with me." Frisk nodded.
"Duel!" Frisk and Bandit Keith declared simultaneously.
Bandit Keith 2000 Frisk 2000: "I'll take the first move, and I'll summon my Pendulum Machine in attack mode!" Bandit Keith stated with a smirk as a red machine with a pendulum blade appeared. "Now I'll set this and call it a turn."
"You use machines?" Frisk inquired curiously.
"That's right, does the little girl want to quit right now?" Bandit Keith smirked. "That would be the smartest decision you could make."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"THIS BANDIT KEITH IS RATHER RUDE." Papyrus admitted.
"yeah, he is. Frisk isn't the type to quit though, we all know that." Sans replied.
"That's true, Frisk doesn't ever give up. It's how she saved all of us." Undyne agreed with a smile.
"You're right still I can't help but have a bad feeling about this." Toriel mentioned nervously. "I'm worried this Bandit Keith may try to do something to my child."
"You don't need to worry; we won't let anything happen to either of them." Asgore reassured her. "For now, we just need to have faith in Frisk."
"I know, but I can't help but be worried." Toriel admitted as she watched the duel.

"Quit, why would I want to quit when we've just started?" Frisk asked. "I set one monster facedown and play three cards facedown to end my turn."
"I don't like this Frisk, I'm getting a Flowey vibe from him." Chara warned her. "Be on guard, there's no telling what he might try to do."
"Ok Chara, I'll trust you." Frisk whispered as Bandit Keith drew his card.
"Pathetic, if that's all you can do this duel is as good as over." Bandit Keith smirked. "I summon Launcher Spider in attack mode."
"I play my trap card, Echo Flower!" Frisk called as a blue flower appeared. "When you summon a monster, I can summon an Echo Flower Token with the same attack and defense points as that monster."
"What?" Bandit Keith questioned in shock seeing that. "Fine, I'll just have my Launcher Spider attack your facedown monster."
The monster was revealed to be a ghost wearing headphones.
"When Napstablook is destroyed your turn automatically ends." Frisk explained.
"You're starting to annoy me kid, you have no idea what you're in for." Bandit Keith stated coldly.
Frisk frowned hearing that as she drew her card before smiling. "I summon Muffet in attack mode and then I use her special ability to switch your Launcher Spider into defense mode."
Bandit Keith frowned hearing that as his monster switched to defense. "Big deal, my Launcher Spider has more defense than either of your monster's attack points."
"I know, but I have the trap card Dinnertime." Frisk explained. "If I have Muffet in play this trap destroys a monster on the field and since Launcher Spider is in defense mode, I can draw a new card."
Bandit Keith's eyes widened in shock as Launcher Spider shattered and Frisk drew her new card.
"You're going to pay for that, you have no idea what I'm capable of little girl." Bandit Keith threatened.
Frisk frowned hearing that. "I'll end my turn by having my Echo Flower Token attacks your Pendulum Machine."
Frisk's token destroyed Bandit Keith's machine as he glared at her coldly.
"Be careful Frisk, I have a bad feeling all of a sudden." Chara warned as Frisk nodded in agreement.
(Bandit Keith has challenged Frisk to a duel, and Pegasus is planning on watching and showing Kaiba the match. Next chapter the duel will continue, and Bandit Keith's true nature will be revealed. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
(Oh, and in regard to the guest review asking about Bakura… yes, he is on the island he just hasn't made his presence known to Frisk, Chara, or the Monsters. At least not yet.)
