Michael Was Still In The Infirmary, Even Though He Claimed To Be Alright, Nurse Fontaine Was Having None Of That And Was Adamant About Him Taking The Entire Week To Rest, Yuma On The Other Was Thrilled Because It Meant She Could Practically Spend a Week With Michael, However The Boy Of The Hour Seemed….Distant.

"What 's Wrong?" She Tilted Her Head "You Seem Off"

"Recently I Have Been…Dwelling In My Memories" He Closed His Eyes "Memories When I Was Younger" A Small Smile Spreaded In His Lips "When We Were Younger"

"Sooo….Any Memory In Particular You Wanna Talk?" A Small And Innocent Smile Caressed Her Face

"There Is One" He Then Turned To Her "Remember That Tournament?"

She Nodded Her Smile Growing Ever So Slightly "How Could I Forget? We Spended The Entire Day Butting Heads Trying To Decide On Our Team's Name…."

-

"I Am Telling You Two! Team Galaxy Is Way Cooler!" Michael Slammed His Palm On The Table

"You Play Way Too Much Capsule Monsters" Missy Rolled Her Eyes "We Should Go With Team Butterfly Effect, It's Classy" She Cupped Her Cheeks With Both Hands And Closed Her Eyes, A Pleasant Smile Spreading Across Her Face.

Which Was Quickly Wiped Away When She Heard Her Friends Audibly Groaning, She Huffed And Pouted "If You Two Have Better Ideas, Go Ahead And Say"

"Team Champions!" Yuma Spreaded Her Arms Wide, With a Wide Grin Across Her Face

Michael And Missy Stared At Her With Deadpan Expressions, Promptly Causing The Orange Haired Girl To Shrink In Her Seat

And So They Devolved ( For The Fifth Time That Day ) Into More Bickering

Until Michael's Dad, John Graham, Walked Into The Room, His Cheeks Were Stained With Various Colors Of Paint ( He Was No Doubt Brainstorming Some Idea For Cards)

"Dad!" Little Michael Jumped Out Of The Table And Launched Himself Into a Hug "We Need Your Help! It's Super Important!"

"Oh, Hey There Micha" His Father Gave Him a Little Pet In The Head "What Do You Youngsters Need?" He Peeled His Son Of His Leg And Crossed His Arms

"A Team Name!" Yuma Opened Her Arms Wide

"Oh Yeah!" The Older Man Snapped His Fingers "That Minor Junior League Tournament"

"And We Can't Decide On a Name, You Gotta Help Us Mister Graham!" Missy Pouted

"Yeah!" Yuma Stood Up On Her Chair "You Gotta Decide G-Man!"

John Looked At The Tree Youngsters….And Carefully Choose His Words

"...How About a Duel…?" He Looked At His Son And His Two Friends

And Then There Was….Silence, The Three Youngsters Spent a Good While Exchanging Looks

Before All Of Them Jumped To Their Duel Disks And Grabbed Them

"LET'S DUEL!" They Shouted In Unison

John Took To Opportunity To Sneak Away….Only For His Son To Tightly Grab His Arms

"Come On Dad! You Gotta Watch The Duel!" Without Waiting For a Response Michael Dragged His Dad Outside, The Older Man Would Be Surprised By The Strength A Seven-Year Old Possessed….If He Wasn't So Busy Groaning

Once The Trio ( And Michael's Dad ) Were Outside…The Battle Royale Began

"Get Ready! Cus Team Galaxy Will Win!" Michael Strook a Pose ( Wich Made his Dad Question If It Was a Good Idea Allow His Son To Play Capsule Monsters For Too Munch Time….)

"No Way!" Yuma Pumped Her Fist High And Might In The Air "Team Champions Will Emerge Victorious!"

"Be Quiet You Two!" Missy Coughed a Bit Before Adjusting Her Posture "Team Butterfly Effect Will Win…Obviously" She Rolled Her Eyes

They All Glared At Each

Battle Royale!
Yuma: 4000 LP
Missy: 4000 LP
Michael: 4000 LP

"Draw!" Michael Yanked The Card From The Top Of His Deck, Grinning Like a Madman

TURN 1
Michael's Turn: Cards In Hand 6

"I Will Begin Summoning My Mythic Tree Dragon!" As He Slapped The Card In The Deck a Tree Sprouted, Before It Suddenly Exploded Revealing a Dragon With a Serpent-Like Body

"And Who Could Forget His Best Buddy? Let 's Go! Mythic Water Dragon!" A Geyser Of Water Erupted Besides Mythic Tree Dragon, Before It Took The Form Of a Serpentine Dragon, Similar To His Earthly Brother

Missy And Yuma Groaned, As They Knew Who Michael Was About To Summon…

"I Build The Overlay Network! XYZ Summon!" Pumping His Fist High In The Air, Both His Dragons Were Sucked Into The Overlay Network, After a Explosion The Familiar Sight Of Tachyon Dragon's Sealed Form Descended From The Portal, Before Opening Itself Revealing The Colossal Dragon

"I Will Set One Face-Down And End My Turn!" He Crossed His Arms, a Proud Smirk On His Face

"Draw!" Yuma Made a ( Quite Frankly ) Even More Exaggerated Motion As She Drew Her Card

TURN 2
Yuma's Turn: Cards In Hand 6

"I Will Summon My Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades" As She Slapped The Card In Her Deck a Warrior With Well…a Thousand Blades On His Armor Emerged From The Ground And Striking a Pose, It's Many Blades Clanging In Unison.

"And Thanks To Thousand Blades Effect By Changing Him To Defense Position, I Can Special Summon A Heroic Challenger From My Deck Straight To The Field!" Her Monster Then Strook The Ground Causing a Fissure To Open, And From Within Another Warrior Jumped, This One Carried Two Swords, A Longsword And a Shortsword

"Say Hello To Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword!" She Pumped Her Fists High In The Air, And As If Agreeing With Her, Both Warriors Shouted a Warcry In Unison

"Let's Go!" She Opened Her Arms Wide "Overlay Network! Appear! Time To XYZ Summon!"

Her Monster's Were Then Sucked Into The Overlay Network, Before A Warrior Cladded In Golden Armor With a Equally Golden Sword Jumped From The Portal.

"Here's The Ace Of My Deck! Heroic Champion - Claivesolish!" She Then Giggled "And Thanks To Extra Sword's Effect, Claivesolish Will Gain One Thousand Attack Points!"

Heroic Champion - Claivesolish: 2500 → 3500 ATK

"I Will Set One Face-Down!" A Card Appeared In Front Of Her "Missy! It's Up To Ya"

Missy, Calmly Drew Her Card, Letting Out a Small Satisfied Smile

TURN 3
Missy's Turn: Cards In Hand 6

"I Will Summon Summoner Monk" As She Placed The Card In The Duel Disk a Tall Old Man With Blue Appeared In a Bright Flash Of Light, He Bowed To Missy ( Which Returned The Favor ) Before He Sat Crosslegged, Muttering Something Under His Breath

"Now" She Revealed a Card, Enemy Controller, Before Sliding It Into The Graveyard Slot "By Sending a Spell Card To The Graveyard I Am Able To Use My Monk's Effect To Special Summon a Level 4 Monster From My Deck" She Then Started To Go Trough Her Deck, Before Picking One Card

"So, Come! Morpho Butterspy!" Above Summoner Monk, From a Shimmering Blue Smoke a Half-Woman And Half-Butterflywoman Swooped Down, She Winked At The Summoner Monk, Earning a Low Grumble From The Old Man

"And Finally! Since a Warrior-Type Monster Was Summoned, I Can Special Summon This! Come Out Blue-Mountain Butterspy!" And From The Same Shimmer Another Butterfly Woman Appeared, Giggling With Her Friend

"Now! I Build The Overlay Network! XYZ Summon!" As Missy's Hands Were Clasped Together The Overlay Network Appeared, All Three Of Her Monsters Were Sucked By It, Before an Explosion Of Purple Light Happened

"Come! Night Papilloperative!" And a Third Butterfly Woman Appeared, This One Being The More Humanoid Of The Bunch, She Honed The Blade Mounted In Her Wrists Before Bearing Them

And The Stage Was Now All Set, The Aces Of The Three Youngsters Were Staring Down At Each Other

…Then They Caught John Trying To Sneak Way…Again

"Dad!" Little Michael Stomped His Feet "You Have To Stay!" And As If Resonating With His Soul, Number 107 Reared His Head Back And Roared, Making The Older Man Do The Walk Of Shame To His Seat…The Things He Would To To Keep His Son Happy…

Yuma And Michael Laughed At Those Times….Simpler Times….Happier Times

Suddenly a Awkward Silence Extended Itself Between Them, Their Eyes Them Met, Yuma's Face Went From Pale To Various Shades Of Red, But She Refused To Break Eye Contact

"Yuma…I" Michael's Words Were Cut Short When He Felt Yuma's Hand On Top Of His

"Michael…Look, You Know How I Feel About You…Don't You?" She Was Struggling To Not Shy Away

"I Do, But" He Averted His Gaze "I Am Afraid That Things Might Not Work, I Am Afraid To Make You Unhappy" With Some Struggle He Looked Back At Her Placed a Hand On Her Cheek

And So, They Just Stood There For a Few Seconds, No Words Were Spoken…Until Both Of Them Leaned In And Locked Lips

"Oh My!" A Shocked Voice Snapped Both Duelists From Their….Special Moment, And The Voice Came From Nurse Fontaine

"Oh! M-Miss Font-taine W-We Were J-Just" She Raised Her Hands Above Her Head, Like a Criminal That Was Caught

"I Will Leave You Lovebirds To It…" She Smiled Before Getting Out Of The Room

"So…Uh…What Did You Tough Of T-That" She Was Fidgeting In The Spot

"It…It Was…Nice" Michael Gathered Enough Courage To Look At Her In The Face

"...Wanna Do It…Again?" Her Blush Deepened

"...Yes" Michael Said With a Straight Face

And So They Leaned In Once More, The Kiss Was a Bit More Intense This Time….
