Back at the castle, Dimentio was telling his report to Bleck and Nastasia while a O'Chunks was sulking in the corner of the room.
The dark count nodded and resumed, "She used a Ancient Fairy Dragon of all kinds of cards with her decK? That is really intresting to know right now."
The jester resumed, "It was quite a sight to her in that duel, Count. We might have to keep a eye on her for now and see what other rare cards she has to use."
"You may be right about that one, Dimentio. Keep a eye on them and make sure you report anything that we might want to know about."
Will do that as much as I can, sir."
O'Chunks laughed and resumed, "I wouldn't have lost to that Duel Spirit if I was allowed to duel."
Nastasisa and Bleck looked at him with dirty looks and he sighed and resumed, "Never mind."
He quickly his chamber as well and then Nastasia sighed and resumed, "After our Battle Steer lost his duel against that cowboy, He came back to the castle and we've been holding him ever since in our dungeon area, sir. What should we do about him?"
"I'll think of something and I'll let you know what I say, Nastasia."
She only nodded and they heard her sigh a little bit as she walked out of his chamber and Dmentio then resumed, "What's with her?"
"I honestly have no idea, Dimentio. Her perosnal life is her own deal and I have my only things to worry about."
The jester nodded and resumed, "Very well. I'll keep a close on those kids for us, sir."
He slowly vanished from the area and Bleck saw his book and he nodded and resumed, "Whoever his holding that Pure Heart is out of my control as me and my troops cannot enter the Pure Chamber in those ruins. I can only hope we can get the other hearts before these ladies have a chance to do so."

Back at Watchitt's house in his dining room, the girls were chatting with Tippi and Bozzo about everything while Jamie was in a room by herself at the moment. Watchitt and Bozzo were bust walking around the village at the moment with Gabe and Sammy.
Erica sighed and resumed, "I hope she's okay. That is a rare card and I she doesn't want everyone to know about how rare that card is these days."
Tippi sighed and resumed, "Thanks to that duel, the island will know about that rare gem of a card now. I hope they all don't come after to her now."
They all nodded and her door opened up and Jamie walked and she smiled and resumed, "Hey, ladies."
Amber looked at her and resumed, "Glad to see you doing better, girl."
She nodded and she took a card out of her pocket and it was her Ancient Fairy Dragon card and she sighed and resumed, "I want to tell you a story about this card with me."
They all sat down at a nearby table and then she continued and resumed, "This is the rarest card I own on my deck, ladies. I got this from a friend that was, sadly kidnapped and then murdered a few days after."
The others looked shocked and she resumed, "Her name was Tanya and she was my friend since 3rd grade and a few months before my State Tournament, she was kidnapped by her ex boyfriend Reid Matthews and he slit her throat near his cabin. Before he had a chance to get away, the police got to him and he was arrested and found guilty of kidnapping and first degree murder and was sentenced to life with no chance of ever getting parole. After her funeral, her parents allowed me to keep and use her deck as well and I made a few changes of it. This deck was my best friends deck and she allowed me to use and I still use it now."
Erica sighed and then resumed, "I'm so sorry for that horrible lost, Jamie. I'm glad she's in peace now and that asshole is behind bars for the rest of his horrid life."
Jamie nodded and then resumed, "Every time I see this card, it reminds me of her and I really miss to her to this day. I wish I never lost her."
Amber stood up and she walked to her and she smiled and resumed, "You'll never be alone anymore, girl. She'll always be watching over you and you always will have us by your side as well. We're a team and nothing will ever chance that, girl."
She nodded and she got up and they hugged each other and then Tippi then resumed, "You three will always be the best of friends no matter what happens now. I hope the best for you all. We can stay here tonight and head towards the Yold Ruins after breakfast tomorrow."
They all nodded and then Jamie took her rarest card out and she nodded and resumed, "Tgis is for you, girl. I'll never forget about you and will always be missing you."

Inside of the main area of the village, the two Duel Spirits were chatting with Bozzo and the mayor.
Gabe sighed and resumed, "This is a beautiful village, sir. Glad those girls were able to help you all out and save it from Bleck's control."
Watchitt then resumed, "They had no choice to get our village back. If anyone tries it again, they better WATCH IT!"
Sammy nodded and then resumed, "We'd love to start a buisness here if that is okay with you, sir."
"What kind would you want to start here?"
A simple request. We want to start a gambling area for the adults and a card tournament area for the younger citizens of this town and the island, sir."
Bozzo nodded and resumed, "Sounds like a good plan to me, sir. What do you think, grandpa?"
Watchitt nodded and resumed, "Help us defend this village from Bleck's crew anytime they try to attack and I'll allow you both to building your place in my town. I think that's a fair offer."
Sammy nodded and resumed, "We look forward to helping out this place as much as we can, sir. Thank you for this I promise we'll never let you or your citizens down."
"You better now or you'll both have to WATCH IT!"
The spirits only smiled and they got up and continued to walk around the village.

Later that next morning, Erica was going over her deck one last time before the duel that was about to happen.
She sighed and resumed, "I may be in the for the toughest duel i've ever had since I became a duelist and I can't wait for anything that comes my way."
She gathered her cards and she smiled and resumed, "Time for a great and fun duel."
She saw a pile of cards and she nodded and resumed, "Time to use those cards I collected during the tournament and never were able to use."
She took the box of Extra Deck Cards and about 6 other cards and placed the cards in the correct decks and she nodded and resumed, "Time to do this."
-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-
About a hour having a decent breakfast, the gang made it through the deep desert and about 30 minutes later, they arrived at the Yold Ruins. It's one of the biggest tourist attraction on the Island and people all over the island and world come every year to view its beauty. At that moment, Tippi was leading them through the deepest part of the ruins.
Tippi smiled and resumed, "We're almost there, ladies."
They continued to walk through the empty ruins and they saw a large red door with the image of Pure Hearts on both side of the door and TIppi nodded and resumed, "Erica, come forth and point your duel disk to the door."
She walked to and did what she just said and the hearts on both sides glowed and the door shook and then slowly slid into the ground and Erica went in and Amber nodded and resumed, "Are we allowed to enter as well?"
Tippi sighed and then resumed, "I don't think so."
"Please come on in, children. All of you are chosen ones that this island needs right now. All of you can enter.", A deep lady-like voice said as they went in and the door slowly went back and locked the door from anyone from entering.
-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 Few minutes later, they were in a lit up chamber and the ladies were looking around.
Tippi nodded and resumed, "I've never been in this chamber before."
Before anyone can answer her, the chamber lit up and on the wall on tbe back wall was the image of a beautiful blue-dressed woman and Jamie saw the picture and she resumed, "Who's she?"
Tippi saw the picture and she resumed, "That is Merlumina, and she's Merlon's ancestor from over 1,000 years ago and she's been waiting for someone to enter the chamber and battle for the Pure Heart."
"You are very smart for a woman, Miss Tippi. I hope you find the answers you need someday.", The female voice said again and Erica nodded and resumed, "I'm Erica and I'm here from the Pure Heart duel."
"Very well, young lady. I accept your challenge with your game of Duel Monsters."
The picture glowed and it faded away and a ghostly spiritual form of her appeared in front of her and it began to speak with the same voice., "I'm dueling using this spiritual form for now. If you win this match, the Pure Heart and anything in my room are yours and if I win, you have to wait another day to face me again, child. You understand this completely?"
Erica nodded and then resumed, "Yes I do, Miss Merlumina."
The spiritual form glowed and the image of 48 cards appeared and they formed a deck and a duel disk made of colorful stones and lights appeared on the spirits arm and Erica activated her duel disk and as she drew her first 5 cards, the images of 5 Duel monster cards with their backs towards them appeared and it resumed, "May this Pure Heart Ritual Duel began now."
Erica nodded and resumed, "I'm ready for this duel and Let's do this."
"Game on!", Erica yelled out.
-o-o-o-o-o-o- (Merlumina LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o- (Erica LP: 8000) -o-o-o-o-o-o-
"The one challenging me is allowed to go first."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that's all for me."
A sixth card appeared and it began to speak, "I Bring forth my Meltiel, Sage of the Sky."
She played the card and a winged Fairy appeared (ATK: 1,600) and Amber nodded and resumed, "I might of guessed she'd be using a Fairy Deck."
"Meltiel attacks with Divine Light Ring."
The Fairy glowed as rings of fiery light shot out and her Wish Dragon appeared on the card (DEF: 100) and the light rings struck and it glowed for a few seconds before it burst into particles of light.
"I'll set a card for later and that will conclude my turn."
Erica drew a card and resumed, "I summon my Luster Dragon."
She played the card and her jewel-crusted dragon appeared (ATK: 1,900) and she smiled and resumed, "Destroy her monster."
The dragon growled as a burst of green flames shot out and struck the Fairy in the chest and it glowed even brighter before it burst into globs of light that splattered all over the arena's floor (Merlumina LP: 8000 - 7700).
"Your move now, miss."

She played the card and her dragon-like Warrior appeared (ATK: 1,700) and she waited to use her facedown card and she didn't want to and she nodded and resumed, "Okay. then. I attack your facedown monster."

"I see. Your move now, miss."
A new card appeared for her and she resumed, "I'll discard my Zeradias, Herald of Heaven to bring forth my Sanctuary of the Sky."
The card appeared and the arena formed the beautiful heavenly sanctuary around them all and Jamie looked around and she sighed sadly and resumed, "I wonder if she'd here as well."
Amber looked at her and she didn't want to say anything and then she saw shed a few tears and she put her arm around her shoulders and resumed, "You'll be okay, girl. Just stay strong for you both and you'll know she'll always be watching over you."
She sighed and then nodded to that and the spiritual ghost resumed, "I activate my facedown monster."
It lifted up and it and Erica gave a scared look at what it was.
"It's called Light of Judgment. If I Discard a Light monster while my Sanctuary is on the field, one of your monsters is no more."
She revealed a monster called Buten and discarded it and the central tower lit up with light as a huge burst of fiery light shot out and struck her Luster Dragon down and her charred dragon collapsed to the ground and dissolved into small particles of light that flew around the field.
"I tribute my Fairy to summon my Tethys, Goddess of Light."

"I use the effect of my Eva. Since she hit the graveyard, I can banish any number of Light Fairy monsters to get the same number of level 2 or lower ones."
The images of Eva and one of the Nova Summoners appeared and faded away into colorful lights and two more cards appeared and Amber groaned and resumed, "Level 2 Fairy monsters can mean those Light Fairy ones that are really powerful."
"I attack your Dragon now."
She aimed her scepter and a burst of bolt of fiery light shot out and struck her Vanguard and blew it to pieces (Erica LP: 8000 - 7400).

The dragon let out a mighty roar and a fiery burst of light shot out and blasted a hole through her Fairy and it glowed even more before it exploded in a huge fiery explosion of colorful energy that lit up the arena (Merlumina LP: 4650 - 3150).
"Your move now."
A new card appeared and it resumed, "I'll switch my Cupid to defense and then I'll set a new monster facedown and a card facedown and that's for me."
She drew a card and then resumed, "I activate my Draconnection."
She revealed her Rare Metal Dragon and grabbed a new card and then shuffled her Dragon back into her deck and grabbed a new card and then resumed, "I now summon my other Luster Dragon."
She played the card and another of the dragons appeared (ATK: 1,900) "I attack your facedown monster with Haku and my Luster Dragon will attack your other monster."
Haku let out a fiery burst of burning light and her Skelngel appeared on the card (DEF: 500) and the intense flames burned it to a cinder and she drew a card and then her other dragon let out a burst of green flames and the attack struck down her final Fairy and blew it to little pieces.
"I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
A new card appeared for her and she resumed, "II banish The Agent of Creation - Venus to Special Summon my The Agent of Destruction - Venus."
The card appeared and burst into shards and a dark and twisted form of her Venus Agent appeared (ATK: 0) and she resumed, "I'll pay 500 lifepoints to Special Summon any nunber of Mystic Shine Balls that I have banished or in my graveyard to my side of the field."
She glowed again (Merlumina LP: 3150 - 2150) and two of her beautiful orbs appeared (ATK: 500 x2) and she resumed, "I'll activate my Celestial Transformation to Special Summon my Absorbing Kid from the Sky."
The spell appeared and the chubby Fairy boy appeared (ATK: 1300 - 650) and then she resumed, "I tribute my Shine Balls and my Absorbing Kid to bring another of my strongest monsters."
The 3 Fairies shattered into small shards of colorful light and then a huge and beautiful golden Fairy with 4 large wings appeared (ATK: 1,900) and Amber groaned and resumed, "I've seen this monster in action and it's a very strong one."
"Meet the beautiful Trias Hierarchia. I can Special Summon this card with up to 3 tributes and if I choose to do so, It activate up to two effects. I Can now draw 2 cards and then I can also destroy a card on the field."
Two new cards appeared and it glowed as various fiery spheres of burning light shot out and struck down her Dragon and it roared in pain before small explosions of fiery light happened all over the huge dragon before it exploded in a shower of pixels that covered the field and then she resumed, "I'll send my D.D. Crow to banish your monster before its effect can be used."
The card faded away as the dark crow flew into the card and then it burst into particles and then the spirit resumed, "I activate my facedown Inverse Universe."
The trap flipped up and both monsters glowed (ATK; 1,900 - 2,900) - (ATK: 0 - 1,600).
"Time to attack now. I attack your Luster Dragon with Trias and then my Venus attacks you directly."
The large Fairy glowed as fiery spheres of light shot out quickly and smashed into her Dragon and iet let our a weakened roar before its scales began to crack all over before it finally shattered to pieces and then her Dark Fairy glowed as a black globules of black fiery light shot out and slammed into her (Erica LP: 4500 - 1900) and Amber sighed and resumed, "That was a hard hit."
Jamie nodded and resumed, "This is a tough duelist and Merlumina is a really tough duelist as well.
"Your a very strong duelist, child. I conclude my turn."
Erica looked at her deck and she only sighed and then Jamie looked at her and resumed, "This has to be super tough on her her right now."
Amber sighed and resumed, "Losing her strongest monster like that is tough on any duelist, Jamie. I really hope she can keep this dueling pace up and win it."
I really don't know what I can do with my deck right now. She's a really powerful duelist and not even Haku could defeat her in battle and know he's gone and also banished. I really don't know what I can do now to win this duel, She thought to herself as she stared at her deck with a saddened look on her face.

Erica is quite a jam with this battle of her. Her best monster was destroyed and she may be starting to lose hope of wining her duel. Next time, we see if she can still win this duel and after that, a member of Bleck's crew invades Flipside and someone joins our ladies group and it's someone one of the girls knows very well. Who is this duelist and who's the invader?. Everything will be explained next time as our newest duelist faces a "Heavy Metal Raiders" of a deck to try to win the battle and we'll find out soon if she can do it.
