Night City World Fighters HQ / 7:00pm
Once we got back to their hideout, they told me everything about what was going and HQ and I was really impressed with the building! In the middle of the City Center District of NIght City was a beautiful tall building that was home to the World Fighters (The Apartments that connected to the HQ Were only allowed to be used by the World Fighters after they received permission from the HQ Leader). Ashlee and Jeanette explained about everything to me. At the bottom floor there was a cafeteria, a small office area, a computer lab that was only allowed to be used by the World Fighters, a Card/Evidence Vault that World Fighter can store cards and evidence they find in cases. The 2nd Floor had a hospital-like area and the skyways that connected to the Apartments as well. Finally on the 3rd Floor was a special access only to the office of the World Fighter HQ leader and only her and World Fighters that were higher-ranked had the card that allowed access to the office. In the basement stored Duel Runners, the small prison, a weapons training area and a dueling arena that would be used by the World Fighters and others that wanted to train to become a World Fighter. in the cafeteria area of the building, I was chatting with the two World Fighters about everything. After they arrived, the World Fighters gave her a tour of the building and she was very impressed with everything the World Fighters had to offer. Right at the moment, the cafe area was closed for the night, but they were a snack area that people could get a drink or a snack until the main area was open again. I was amazed with this building and this was my best chance of hopefully figuring stuff out.
Ashlee smiled at me and replied, "What do you think of our small building?"
I nodded and resumed, "You guys really have made a very impressive building at least. Many places to do work and keep a eye on the city as well."
Jeanette nodded and replied, "We do our best here. The boss should be here soon. She and her daughter left earlier for a meeting at Militech earlier and they should be back at any time now."
They explained that everyone in Night City knew about Militech. It was the biggest creator of military weapons and there were at least one building on each part of the world right now. It was one of the biggest employed company in Night City as well. They supply the world and police with many kinds of weapons, tanks and other military-style vehicle and technology. The World Fighters have a small treaty with them and they would help each other out as long as Militech doesn't offer weapons to nations that are enemies to certain countries around the world at the moment (North Korea and Iran are two big examples at the moment) and no selling to any gangs around the world that would hurt the city in any way. The treaty has now lasted for 16 years now with no trouble at all from either side.
I nodded and then replied, "Hopefully the more I stay with your group, the more memories I will hopefully recover and may find my true name."
They both nodded as the main doors to the cafe area opened up and a tall blonde-haired woman wearing a white shirt and a long black skirt walked in and she was carrying in a small briefcase with her and the younger one was a young brown-haired lady and she wore a black shirt and a flowered skirt and tall male wearing a brown shirt and blue jeans was walking behind the ladies and the older one saw the two World Fighters and she replied, "Evening, ladies."
The World Fighters nodded to their boss and then saw me and she replied, "Who is she, Ashlee?"
"She doesn't even know and we don't even now her name yet, madam. She has a certain kind of amnesia and she can't remember her name or anything at all right now. Earlier, she dueled that punk Monkey Wrench and won the duel with little trouble. She tried to attack her, but me and Jeanette went in and arrested him before he had a chance to do any harm to her or the person he and his friend Hammer Man could do. Just as the duel ended, Hammer Man escaped and we have no damn clue where he is now."
She nodded and then looked at me and replied, "Nice to meet you, miss. I'm Elizabeth Miller, but people like to call me Liz and so can you . I'm the leader of the World Fighters here in Night City and this is my daughter Genevieve and she is a rookie-ranked World Fighter and she likes to be called Genny."
She pointed to the guy and replied, "This is our World Fighter named Patrick Baker and he likes to be called Pat. Maddie, Pat, and Jeanette are are all middle-ranked World Fighters and they are three of the best people that ever became a World Fighter."
They all smiled at her and Genny looked at me with a smile and replied, "Nice to meet you as well, miss."
I smiled back at and then Liz walked to where they were sitting and she replied, "I hope we can help you out, young lady. Do you even know if you have a house here in Night City?"
I sighed and shook my head no and Liz resumed, "I'm was afraid of that. I hope we can help you out. For now, we can help you get some clothes and have somewhere to stay while you find out where you belong."
I smiled and then Liz looked at Pat and replied, "Is apartment WFFL2A open up, Pat?"
He nodded and replied, "Yes, ma'am. It's vacant ever since Leigh moved with her husband and child to Los Angeles last month. It's been cleaned out and open to anyone."
Liz nodded and she looked at the wonderer then replied, "For now, you can stay in that apartment until you find out where you really live. Is that okay?"
I nodded to her and then Pat replied, "I'll help her as soon we go off duty in a hour from now, madam."
She nodded and then Ashlee looked at her boss and replied, "How did the meeting with Krystal Redding go, madam?"
Krystal Redding was the current CEO and owner of Militech Night City and she inherited it when she was only 36 years old after her husband Ronald Redding was killed in a car crash (They were married for already 10 years at that moment) two months ago. The company was watched over by the World Fighters until Krystal was made the owner of it. She runs the company with kindness and dedication to keep her late husbands dream alive and she was the youngest major company owner in Night City currently.
Liz nodded and replied, "Good. They're making great progress with their newest products and they invited Keith and Sarah to head there this July to test out their weapons in their underground weapon lab & factory area. They're both won't be on duty for another hour and I want to be here to tell them about that."
Ashlee told me about those two as well. Keith and Sarah were brother and sister and they wanted to be World Fighters since they both graduated from college a couple of years ago and they've been members ever since.
Pat nodded and replied, "If it's okay with you, I'll take her to the room so she can be settled."
"Sounds like a good plan to me, Pat."
She looked back at me and replied, "Call me or our high-ranked World Fighters if you need any help, okay?"
I nodded as I got up and me and Pat left the cafe area and Genny sighed and replied, "I really hope we can help her out, mom."
Liz nodded and replied, "Me too, Gen. I really do help we can help her out as well."

A hour or so later, We arrived at the small apartment. It had a great view of the downtown area of Night City's City Center section. The room had queen-sized bed in the bedroom with a vanity and walk-in closet area. It also had a small kitchen area with a small fridge, stove and a small table for eating at and it was well lit up as well. The bathroom had a large shower-bath area and a large toilet, medicine cabinet and a stand as well.
Pat smiled and replied, "What do you think of the place?"
I looked around and I smiled and replied, "Beautiful place to live I must say."
He nodded and replied, "In the bedroom area is a small laptop that has full internet access as long as you as use the access code in the entry page which is NCWORLDFIGHTERUSA and tomorrow, we can help you find some more clothes to wear and you can do your laundry down the hall at the 24 hour a day laundry area if you need to so. If you need anything else, Call Liz up. Sounds good?"
I nodded and and then he replied, "We'll see you breakfast time tomorrow. The breakfast hours are 5 to 10 and it's always a breakfast buffet style of a meal unless there is a Special or a event going on. See you tomorrow."
He smiled as he closed the doors and then I looked around and I smiled and replied, "After I day I've had today, time to have a nice warm shower before I head to bed."
I then walked towards the bathroom.

World Fighters HQ Cafe area / 8:00am
That next morning, Me and the other World Fighters were all enjoying some breakfast. Earlier that morning, Genny found me some clothes that fit her perfectly and I was now wearing a red shirt and blue jeans that have a belt through them.
Genny nodded and replied, "It's going to be a very beautiful day today, mom. I heard the weather is going to be great."
Liz nodded as she sipped her cup of coffee and she looked at me and replied, "How was your apartment going for you?"
I smiled and resumed, "Amazing, madam. It has everything I needed or wanted in a apartment. Thank you so much for having me here while I try my best to get my memories back."
"It's no trouble at all for us, my friend. Glad we can help you right now."
We all went back to eating and then I heard ringing of a cellphone which sounded like the theme to Peanuts and I saw Ashlee went into her pocket and got her cellphone out and she replied, "Ashlee Watson of the Night City World Fighters here."
She continued to the listen and she sighed and replied, "Those two are back again? We'll be down there to check things out. Thank you for calling, sir."
She hung up her phone and she replied, "Nell and Jackson are back, madam. They've been there all morning so far and the owner of that shop wants use to keep a eye on them."
Liz nodded and then she looked at me and then replied, "If you can, take a normal car and take our new friend with you. Maybe that'll bring some memories back fer her."
She looked and she looked at me and replied, "Ready to head out with me?"
I only nodded as we both got up and left quickly and Genny then replied, "Go get her, ladies."
-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-
A hour later, we arrived outside of the same parking lot that Jeanette and Maddie were watching over the wonderer's duel the night before. in the middle of it was a small Minivan with a young lady with blonde-hair and a green skirt and a white shirt and her left arm was covered in a sleeve of various heart, stripe and flower tattoos. She was watching a duel started to happen. the two dueling was a tall black jacketed guy with glasses and a shaven face and he was about to duel a 18 year old guy that was wearing a white sweat shirt and grey sweatpants and I looked at Maddie and replied, "Who are these two, Maddie?"
"The girl is Nell and the guy is Jackson, her boyfriend of 2 years now. All three of us were the best of friends and when they found I was about to be become a World Fighter and they weren't happy I was about to become one and they broke their friendship with me. It was pretty dumb of them both."
The jacketed guy then replied, "Time to get some dueling on. Ready, Dennis?"
The younger guy nodded and replied, "Born ready."
Both activated their duel disks and both drew 5 cards.
"Game on!", both yelled out.
-o-o-o-o-o-o (Dennis LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o- (Jackson LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o-o-o-
Jackson then replied, "I'll start. I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
Dennis drew a card and replied, "I activate Ancient Rules!"
Suddenly, Cosmo Queen appeared (ATK: 2,900).
"I now summon my Genetic Warwolf!"
As she sat the card down, the four-armed beast warrior appeared (ATK: 2,000).
"Warwolf, attack!"
It went and Dennis quickly replied, "I activate Wall of Revealing Light."
The trap appeared.
"I'll pay 7000 lifepoints to use it."
He smiled as his trap glowed (Jackson LP: 8000 - 1000).
"I don't follow you right now, but whatever. I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
Jackson drew a card and Dennis smiled and replied, "I activate Dust Tornado!"
The trap appeared and Jackson's card was smashed to bits.
"Didn't need the card anymore. Time to end this now. I activate two Upstart Goblins."
He drew 2 cards and glowed (Dennis LP: 8000 - 10000) and he smiled evily and replied, "Since I have 2000 lifepoints or less, I can Special Summon my Endless Decay and I have three of them."
As he sat the cards down, all 3 of the dark evil mummies appeared (ATK: ? x3).
"My monsters gain attack equal to have of your current lifepoints, kid."
The mummy trio began to glow with dark energy (ATK: ? - 5,000) and Dennis gulped as he saw all three of them and replied, "I'm so so screwed right now."
"Sad to say you are so. Decay one, attack."
The first mummy went and gave a punch, blowing the Warwolf to little pieces (Dennis LP: 10000 - 7000).
"Decay 2, attack."
The next one went and punched her in the chest and she was smashed to pieces as well (Dennis LP: 7000 - 4900).
"Decay three, end this."
The final zombie went i and punched him, knocking him hard to the ground (Dennis LP: 4900 - 0) and Nell smiled and replied, "That does it for you, dude."
Dennis groaned as he slowly got up and Nell looked at her and replied, "You know the deal now, kid. I won the duel, you owe me your rarest card, so hand over your Cosmo Queen."
"No damn way! You two ambushed me after I left the shop and forced me in a duel and if I would of won, I Would of gotten something for you and you both have nothing! This is unfair!"
Nell looked at him and then replied, "Life isn't fair at all, dude. Hand over a prize or they'll be trouble for you!"
"Don't you even dare threaten him, Nell!", Ashlee's voice said with far away.
The all turned to him and I saw Ashlee walking up to them and I followed right behind her and Nell saw her and she sighed and replied, "Ashlee Watson. Good to see you again, I guess."
She looked at her and replied, "Trying to ambush people for their rare cards again, Nell? I thought you and Jackson knew better then that."
Nell looked at her and replied, "I think being a World Fighter has took over your head a lot, Ashlee. You were once a great person and a wonderful friend, but you wanted to be a goodie good and become a member of that damn group!"
She looked at her and replied, "I wanted to be one after my dad was killed while on duty, Nell. I wanted to make him and my family proud. We've already had to bust you both two times now because of stunts like this! People like you don't get the picture."
Jackson looked at her and replied, "You're not going to leave anytime soon, so I want to duel you. If we win, we get that kid's Cosmo Queen and your rarest card as well and if you win, we'll hand over his card and leave and never come back here again."
Maddie looked at him and replied, "Fine with me. I Want to duel you but not against that Quick Kill Endless Decay Deck you used against him. I Want to duel against a different deck."
He smiled and replied, "Fine with me. My other deck is just as strong as the one I Just used."
He took out the deck he used against Dennis and slid into a small box that was on this belt and slid it into it and then he opened a nearby white box and took out a another deck and slid it into his duel disk and then he took the Extra Deck that went with it and took the cards out and slid them into the Extra Deck slot and she replied, "Deck is ready to go. Let's duel already."
Both activated their duel disks and then both drew 5 cards from their decks.
"Game on!", both yelled out.
-o-o-o-o-o-o- (Jackson LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o- (Ashlee LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o-o-o-
Maddie then replied, "I'll start this duel. I'll set a monster and that'll end my turn now."
Jackson drew a card and replied, "I summon my Shutendoji."
He played the card and a drunk-looking red-skinned demon with yellow hair appeared with a large gourd filled with some kind of booze appeared (ATK: 1,500) and it opened its gourd and took many large gulps of booze and he looked even more drunk then before and Ashlee saw that happening and resumed, "Don't make arrest him for being drunk in public."
Jackson only rolled his eyes and resumed, "Your a World Fighter and a comedian, I see. Shutendoji attacks first."
The demon let out a loud belch as a burst of booze-smelling flames shot out and a a large octopus appeared on the card (DEF: 1,400) and the flames struck it and it moaned and then burst in a shower of bubbles & globs of water and Ashlee was able to still smell the scent of the flames and she moaned and resumed, "That smells disgusting."
"Everyone is a critic. I'll end my turn now."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I summon my Space Mambo."
She played the card and a large bloated green-skinned fish appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"Destroy his zombie with Space Bubbles."
The large fish let out a burst of bubbles and they shot out and slammed into the drunk Yokai and it grunted before it vanished in a cloud of red dust and then his booze gourd smashed against the ground and splattered its contents across the ground (Jackson LP: 8000 - 7800).
"I don't think AA would of helped him at all. I end my turn now."
He rolled his eyes again and drew a new card and then resumed, "I'll set a monster and that's all for me."
She drew a card and then resumed, " I summon my Bubble Bass."
She played the card and a large green-skinned bloated bass appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"My Bass attacks first."
The large fish let out a burst of bubbles and a and the 4 Scapegoat tokens with glowing blue eyes appeared on the card (DEF: 0) and the attack struck them and blew each of them to bits and then 4 goat tokens with glowing blue eyes appeared (DEF: 0 x5) and she nodded and resumed, "No big deal for me. When Bubble Bass trashes a monster, you take 300 damage."
A small bursts of bubbles flew and slammed into him (Jackson LP: 7800 - 7500) and he resumed, "When Scapeghost is flipped up, I can Special Summon a Black Sheep token in each of my Monster Zones."
A sheep token with glowing blue eyes appeared in each of the zones (DEF: 0 x5) and she pointed as her Mambo blew a few bubbles out and blew the small red ghost sheep to bits as well.
"Your turn now."
He drew a card and then resumed, "I tribute a token to summon my Skeleton, Hellfire Knight."
One more of the tokens faded away and a skeleton riding a bandage-wrapped zombie horse appeared and he was holding into a spear for a weapon (ATK: 2,000 - 2,400).
"Gains 100 attack for each Zombie I have. Destroy his Bass!"
It quickly charged in and rammed its spear into the fish and it flopped around before it shattered into shards (Ashlee LP: 8000 - 7400) and he smiled and resumed, "When it destroys a monster and you take damage, it can attack again by tributing a Zombie monster."
One of the tokens faded away into pixels (ATK: 2,400 - 2,300) and the evil knight charged and slammed its spear into the fish and blew it to minute shards (Ashlee LP: 7400 - 6900).
"Your move now, lady."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I'll set a new monster facedown and a card as well and that'll end my turn for now."
He drew a card and then resumed, "I summon my Dragon Zombie."
She played the card and the decomposing zombie form of Crawling Dragon appeared (ATK: 1,600).

It quickly charged and it was a odd creature. It was a strange humanoid creature that looked part human and half squid with its lower half was a body of 6 white tentacles and with 2 tentacle-like arms and it's wearing a soldier's outfit while holding a metal baton for a weapon in one of the arm tentacles (DEF: 1,100) and the knight drove its spear through the center of the odd Aqua and its tentacle-like arms thrashed around before it shattered into small pixelated shards and she nodded and resumed, "When Soldier Kraken goes down in battle, I can Special Summon a Water monster from my deck in defense and that would include a 2nd Kraken."
Another of the strange creatures appeared (DEF: 1,100) and he pointed and the dragon let out its deadly breath attack and it struck the Aqua and it literally started to rot away before it collapsed into a putrid smelling sludge-like puddle which quickly dissolved and she nodded and resumed, "I bring forth my Deepsea Macrotrema."

"I see. I end my turn now."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I'll discard my Warrior of Atlantis to get my Ocean card."
She discarded the monster and then grabbed the card and then opened his field slot and then resumed, "I activate A Legendary Ocean."
She slid the card into the slot and the ground was filled with water and a beautiful palace made of rocks and sand appeared behind her.
"I now summon my 7 Colored Fish."
She played the card and a the beautiful and classic colorful fish appeared (ATK: 1,800 - 2,000).
"I activate my facedown card."
The trap appeared.
"It's called Fish Depth Charge and I can tribute a Fish monster to destroy a monster of yours and then I can draw a card."
The smaller eel-like fish glowed and it flew into the darkfire knight and it moaned before it burst into black globules and she drew a card and then resumed, "When it hits the graveyard, all Water monsters gain 500 attack until the end of the turn."
The fish's scales began to glow even more (ATK: 2,000 - 2,500).
The fish quickly flew and slapped the zombie with its fin and smashed it to pieces (Jackson LP: 7500 - 6600).
"Your move now."

He drew a card and then resumed, "I use the effect of my Rotted Doom Walker in my graveyard I just discarded. If I control no other cards, I can banish it and another Zombie monster from my graveyard to destroy a Spell or Trap Card you control."
He took it and his Dragon Zombie and banished both cards before her field spell dried up and the palace collapsed into shards (ATK: 2,000 - 1,800) - (ATK: 1,700 - 1,500) - (ATK: 1,600 - 1,400) and she nodded and resumed, "I activate my facedown card."
The trap appeared.
"It's called The Transmigration Prophecy and I'll return my Field Spell to my deck and then you'll return the Skeleton, Hellfire Knight to your deck."
He sighed and shuffled the card into his deck and then she took her Field Spell and shuffled the card into her deck.

"Salmon attacks now."
The huge fish quickly swam in and a rammed into the bloated zombie, tearing it in twain at the waist with the pieces shattering seconds later (Jackson LP: 4800 - 4200) and he nodded and resumed, "When my Jolly Roger goes down, I can banish it and another card and draw 2 cards."

I now activate facedown Breakthrough Skill on your Kraken!"
The trap appeared and the sea creature glowed and she smiled and played her Mystical Space Typhoon and a storm began and it drained the ocean and smashed his palace into dust & sand.
"My giant friend attacks first!"

"your turn now, lady."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I'll switch my Fish to defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and a facedown card and that's all for me."
He drew a card and it was a Raigeki and Nell looked at him and resumed, "Make a good draw."
If I use this card, I might win this duel for us! That facedown card is probably going to stop me somehow, so I'll better keep it for now., Jackson thought to himself as he looked at the card and then he resumed, "I'll set it for later and then I'll attack my giant friend first!"
The card appeared facedown and then his giant zombie quickly went and slammed its fist down and smashed his Fish to bits.
"Zombino, attack."
It went in and slammed its fist and a Mother Grizzly appeared on the card (DEF: 1,000) and it punched at it and it let out a loud snarling noise before it shattered into small pixelated shards that flew around her and she resumed, "I Special Summon my Nimble Sunfish."
She played and a small blue fish appeared (ATK: 1,000).
"I see now. Your move now."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I activate my Jar of Greed to draw that card."
Nell looked at him and resumed, "That was a dumb move, Jackson! You could of won the damn duel, Jackson! You are a idiot."
He looked at her and resumed, "So I made one mistake in this duel! I'm only fucking human, Nell!"
"You make more mistakes and you'll never beat her! Don't be a dipshit and beat this lady!"
He only sighed and then resumed, "Continue your turn."
"Sounds good. I drop 1,000 lifepoints to Special Summon my Rare Fish with Ready Fusion."
She moaned as well (Ashlee LP: 2500 - 1500) as the bizarre fish-like creature (ATK: 1,500).
"I now summon my World Apprentice."
As she sat the card down, a young world fighter appeared with a sword in her hands (ATK: 900).
"I tune all of my monsters together!"
She began to glow as she split into 2 white stars, which turned into green rings and the rings went through Omnaraki and Paladin, which turned into a total of 8 white stars (*2 + *3 + *3 = *8).
"A glorious leaders comes forth to protect her allies and loved ones! With her sword training, she'll destroy anything that'll get in her way! Synchro Summon! For the World, Master World Fighter!"
As she sat the card down, the Synchro form of the Co-Founder of the World Fighters Carly appeared with a sword ready to attack her enemies with a glowing sword and a beautiful set of armor (ATK: 2,800) and Nell groaned and replied, "Anyone but her! This is bad."
"When I used Apprentice in a Synchro Summon, my monster gains 500 attack."
Her sword began to glow (ATK: 2,800 - 3,300).
"For each Non-Tuner monster I used to Synchro Summon her with, she gains a World Counters and I counted two of them!"
Suddenly, two glowing spheres that were in the shape of Earth appeared and flew into her sword (ATK: 3,300 - 3,700).
"I use her effect and I'll remove 2 Counters to allow her to gain 1,000 attack and then one of your monsters lose the same amount. Before you ask, the attack boost from the counters are a permanent boost."
As the two counters faded away, the sword glowed even more (ATK: 3,700 - 4,700) and then the huge zombie began to glow (ATK: 3,100 - 2,100) and he groaned and replied, "Damn, I needed one more turn and I would of beat you!"
"Lucky I summoned her now. Destroy his monster and wipe out the rest of his points!
She quickly rushed in and rapidly slashed and stabbed at the huge zombie and it let out a deep moaning-like noise before it burst apart from top to bottom. Many sizes of pixelated shards rained down him and his side of the field (Jackson LP: 2600 - 0) and the ones watching cheered as her Synchro vanished from the field and I only could smile and by staying with her I'll be on the right track and then he looked around and saw that Nell was in the van and he replied, "What are you doing?"
She smiled evily and replied, "We're done as a couple, you loser! You had to win this duel and you failed me!"
"You are the biggest bitch in Night City, Nell! Get the hell away from me!"
"You'll never be anything since you lost that bratty girl, Jackson! See ya!"
She laughed as she quickly drove off and then Maddie walked up to him and she replied, "You had to do everything that wench told you too? That's harsh."
He sighed and replied, "I don't need her in my life anymore anyway. I have a decent apartment and everything there is going well as it is. Are you going to arrest me?"
She sighed and then smiled and replied, "Not at all, Jackson. I'm giving you a chance to get back to your normal life and I hope things go a lot better for you then with her."
"You are not a bad person at all, Maddie. Thanks for this second chance."
"No problem at all, buddy. If she bothers you again, call me or the World Fighters up."
She went into her pocket and took a small card that had the numbers on it and handed it to him and he smiled as he walked away and she looked at me and replied, "This duel help your mind with anything?"
She sighed and replied, "I wish it did, but It brought back nothing to me."
"It was worth a shot, I guess. Let's head out now. I'll buy lunch for us at the diner."
We both nodded and then we walked towards her car and then Jackson saw that Dennis was still there and he took the card from his Side Deck he won earlier and he smiled and resumed, "Here's your card back, buddy. I was going to give it to you no matter what that wench would of said to me."
He took the card and then he smiled and resumed, "Thanks for getting her back for me, bud. Normal Rush is not even my real deck and I'd like to face you in a true duel someday if that's okay."
"Of course you can. Call me up when you want a duel."
He took a small piece of paper from his pocket and he resumed, "I was going to use this to get a duel anyway and this has my cellphone number on it, so call me up when you want a quick duel."
He nodded as they both shook hands and they both walked away as well.
