It had been years since Ryan's duel with Zane and he was currently in his room with Molly AKA The Maiden in Love.
"So Molly... Why are you here?" Ryan asked her.
"What do you mean?" Molly asked.
"You might be here for an important task." Ryan answered.
"I can't think of anything, I'm here because I want to stay with you." Molly smiled kissing his cheek.
Ryan blushed at that. Molly giggled before blushing. "You let me stay remember?"
"I didn't know how I done that... But I was so close to you." Ryan blushed.
"Well, however you did it I'm glad." Molly smiled.
Ryan smiled back to her. Molly paused before her eyes widened. "Can I see your deck? Pretty please."
"Uh which one?" Ryan asked.
"Dark World which is my Honor Student Deck, or the Deck that... My parents gave me Invoked?" Ryan asked her looking down.
Molly hugged him before smiling. "On second thought... do you trust me?"
Ryan looked to her before nodding. Molly took his hands before closing her eyes as a flash enveloped the two of them before fading to reveal they had disappeared.
Meanwhile...
They appeared somewhere as Ryan blinked looking around.
"Come on." Molly smiled offering her hand.
Ryan looked to see Molly turned into her true form as he blushed before taking her hand. She carefully led him before shuddering as they approached a large gate.
"Brron? Brron I know you're in there." Molly said nervously.
"Brron?" Ryan asked hearing that.
"Come right in."
The gate slowly opened. Molly squeezed Ryan's hand nervously as they walked through the gate.
"Molly?" Ryan asked confused as they walked together.
"I... don't normally like coming here." Molly admitted as she looked around uncertainly before approaching a group of fiends. "Excuse me... is Brron in the castle?"
"Where else would he be?" one of them rasp out.
Molly flinched. "Sorry."
She turned to Ryan. "Come on... I want to get this part over with quickly."
"What's going on?" Ryan asked her taking her shoulders.
"This... I brought you to the Duel Monsters Spirit World Ryan. So you could meet your monsters for real." Molly answered.
"Huh?" Ryan asked surprised as they walked in where Dark World monsters were conversing with each other along with several Invoked creatures.
Molly looked shocked. "Aleister? What are you doing here?"
"Huh?" a white spellcaster with purple hair turned over, "Maiden! I didn't know you would be here!"
"I met someone special... Ryan." Molly said turning to him and smiling.
Ryan looked amazed as Aleister said, "Ryan! Well this is a surprise. We always did stood up for you since your parents gave us to you."
"I'm... not dreaming am I?" Ryan asked in shock.
"No, this is the Duel Monster's Spirit World." Aleister answered.
Ryan looked amazed looking around, "Amazing... I didn't ever think of coming here."
"Well, it's clear who the favorite is." mentioned a voice from the other side of the room.
Hearing that the three looked over. Molly's eyes widened before she nervously kneeled. "King Brron, my apologies. We didn't see you."
(A/N (Ulrich362): Maiden in Love/Molly isn't a Dark World monster but she's in the Dark World castle and is somewhat scared of Brron.)
Brron trapped in chains walked forward. Ryan blinked in awe seeing him.
"I was just speaking with Ryan." Aleister noted calmly.
"I can see that." Brron told him, "And it's clear what his favorite is."
"Grapha?" Ryan asked.
"Grapha?" Aleister asked in surprise.
"I think that's what he means." Ryan said helping Molly stand up.
"Oh... no I meant how you clearly prefer Aleister and his... creatures to the power of the Dark World." Brron stated coldly.
"Neither." Ryan said simply.
"Ryan..." Molly whispered hearing that.
"You must have some preference. Our fighting tactics are completely different." Brron pointed out.
"Yeah that's true. But playing favorites isn't what I want to do. I treat all of my cards equally, and depend on each, and everyone of them like any other card. You all are more special to me then any other card I have not as regular cards but as friends, and even... family." Ryan said before looking down.
Hearing that Aleister and Brron exchanged a surprised look.
"Ryan... is there anything we can do for you?" Aleister asked him.
"Let's all treat each other as equals, no talking about favorites, and work together." Ryan answered.
Molly smiled before pausing. "Ryan... can I ask you something?"
Ryan turned to him.
"Maybe... maybe we could help your goals?" Molly suggested. "That way you can reach them quicker?"
Ryan smiled before placing his hands on her shoulders, "Thanks Molly."
Molly smiled before quickly kissing him. "You're welcome."
Ryan blushed before asking, "Can we head back?"
"Ok." Molly smiled. "Just close your eyes."
Ryan told Brron, and Aleister, "See you two on the other side."
They nodded before a flash of light filled the room only to fade with Ryan and Molly having vanished again.
Meanwhile...
They appeared back in Duel Academy as Ryan opened his eyes Molly back in her student form. Almost immediately someone was knocking on the door. "Ryan, Molly? Are you two in here?"
"Who is it?" Ryan asked.
"Celina... we have a problem."
"What problem?" Ryan asked her.
She walked into the room.
"You heard about what happened to Mamoru?" Celina asked.
"He had retreated." Ryan answered.
"Apparently the Ritual Dimension is stronger than he thought, and if the reports are accurate... they might be trying to reach the Standard Dimension before us." Celina told him. "If those two get together it could make our goals impossible."
Ryan looked concerned before saying, "I don't know what to do."
Celina frowned before walking over to him. "It'll work out, the four of us won't lose remember?"
Ryan nodded hearing that, "Right."
Celina smiled before frowning. "Anyway, I just wanted to give you two a head's up. I'll see you two around."
With that she walked off. Ryan closed the door before walking to his bed laying down. Molly just smiled seeing that.
"Molly? Has... a Human, and a Duel Spirit relationship like us ever happened for real before?" Ryan asked her.
Molly closed her eyes in thought. "I think... once. Kind of."
"Well... If we do have a... have a..." Ryan blushed, "I'm worried what would happen to either you or..."
Molly blinked in surprise before her eyes widened. "Oh... if it's you that wouldn't happen."
Ryan turned to her.
"I don't really understand how, but remember how you kept me from leaving?" she asked.
"Yeah." Ryan nodded.
"There's something special about you... so if we ever did... if you ever wanted to... it should work like normal." Molly told him.
Ryan blushed before turning over asking her, "Can... can we cuddle?"
"Of course." she smiled. "I love cuddling."
With that they both moved laying down together on the bed while he blushed close to her "Sorry if this seems weird."
"Not really." Molly whispered gently.
He looked at her before kissing her forehead. Molly smiled at that before pausing and blushing. "Ryan, can you rub my back?"
He nodded moving his hand rubbing her back with a blush. Molly sighed softly before after a few moments he heard gently snoring and saw she had fallen asleep cuddling with him holding her. He blushed a bit at that before he whispered in her ear, "I remembered your stomach bug... I hope I helped it made you better."
She smiled in her sleep. "You're amazing."
He blushed more but smile holding her close, "I love you Molly."
He felt her move closer to him in her sleep and she was smiling happily. He held her close before slowly closing his eyes falling to sleep with her in his arms.
Meanwhile...
Allie was asked to wake Cloud up as she walked upstairs. She entered the room too see Cloud sleeping peacefully quietly snoring as she giggled walking over, and shake him awake as Cloud stirred, "Huh?"
"Good morning Cloudy." Allie smiled to him.
He smiled groggy to her, "Morning Allie..." He sat up rubbing his head in his sky blue PJS with clouds all around them.
"Morning Cloudy." she smiled. "Did you have good dreams?"
"Yeah." he nodded over with a smile, "Dreamt about us."
"Really, what were we doing together? Visiting the aquarium?" Allie asked curiously.
Cloud gets up, and walked over to the dresser to find some clothes to wear to start the day. "Yeah we were doing that. But not just that."
Allie smiled. "What else did we do?"
"We went swimming together, and... we also played with our monsters." Cloud admitted before then blushing, "And uh..."
Allie blinked seeing that. "Cloudy?"
"I... kinda imagined you being a mermaid." he admitted with a blush.
"Really? Was I a pretty mermaid swimming with all my fish friends?" Allie asked smiling.
He nodded over with a blush having a smile. Allie smiled. "Well, maybe we can go swimming together soon?"
Cloud blushed more before nodding. Allie smiled. "I'll see you later Cloudy."
She gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek before leaving the room. They walked downstairs to where Yoko gave him a lunchbox to help with his blood flow, "Thanks Miss Sakaki."
"You're welcome." Yoko smiled.
They walked on over to You Show at this before Cloud asked Allie, "Allie? How did your parents took our date, and your necklace?"
"They were surprised but happy." Allie answered.
Cloud nodded as they walked in to see the duel where it was Gong's turn.
"It's time for Gong's two sword-swinging Superheavy Samurai to say buh-bye, and hit the road! Gong's bringing out the best one of them all, Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei!" Gong called as two mechanical warriors vanished only to bring out a larger one with 3500 defense points.
Allie stared in awe. "Gong is super strong."
"Alright Yuya enough riding around." the man stated clenching his fist, "It's time to take center stage and show Gong what you're made of."
"It's showtime! Ladies, gentlemen, and Gong how 'bout I kick things off this round's entertainment with some Carnival Craving Hippos!" a male voice cried riding on a hippo monster jumping on a rooftop showing it's a teen with crimson, and red hair, and having a red shirt with green pants playing a spell. "Get hopping hippos!"
Three different colored hippos appeared dancing in front of Yuya. Gong off-guard yelled, "Hey, what's with all that shaking! We're not dancing, we're dueling!"
Cloud only chuckled. Suddenly the field vanished causing Yuya to fall and land on his back hard.
"Yuya!" Cloud cried, "You okay?"
Yuya weakly looked up before making a silly face. Cloud chuckled at this. Allie smiled before pausing and looking down shyly.
"Allie?" Cloud asked her.
"Your laugh is cute." Allie admitted with a blush.
Hearing that Cloud smiled before giggling. Hearing that Cloud smiled before giggling, "That just means we love each other right?"
"Yeah, it does." Allie smiled giggling with him.
Cloud softly takes her hand with a blush, "I love you."
"I love you too Cloudy." she smiled warmly before blushing slightly as she lightly kissed his cheek.
He smiled with a blush at that while Zuzu smiled, "Oh you two look so cute together."
Cloud blushed at that. Suddenly a man walked into the room.
"Afternoon all I do hope I'm not intruding." the man stated.
"Sorry who are you?" Cloud asked him as Skip, Yuya, Zuzu, and Gong walked over.
The glasses man answered, "I'm Nico Smiley, dueling manager and promoter. Currently I represent the reigning Action Duel Champion, The Sledgehammer."
Shocked Yuya said, "Not THE Sledgehammer."
"The Sledgehammer is hosting a fan appreciation day at the Leo Institute and as part of the festivities he's issuing a one-on-one challenge to Yuya." Nico explained.
Off-guard Yuya asked, "Your inviting me to duel the Sledgehammer?"
"I'm not inviting you to duel his grandma!" Nico joked before saying, "Seriously, though, it's your chance to make up for your father's disappearing act. You remember what happened don't you?"
Yuya made a troubled look as Nico said, "You're finally old enough to get your wish! We'll publicize it as the duel of the decade! "The son of Yusho Sakaki tries to clear up his father's name"!"
Yuya swallowed nervously at that.
"Forget it." Skip stated bluntly. "I will never let Yuya take part in this match."
Surprised Nico asked, "Why not? It's what all the fans want to see, plus it'll mean tons of free publicity for your dueling school!"
"I won't let Yuya be humiliated!" Skip answered making Yuya give out a shocked look as Skip clench his fist, "The boy's suffered enough since his father disappeared... Get out of here Nico!"
"Oh I understand Boyle." Nico smiled putting a hand on his chest before leaning forward with a finger raised. "Its a real shame though, cause if you had agreed the Leo Corp. would have donated the newest augmented reality combat system to your dueling school for no charge. As in free."
"You've got a deal!"
SMACK!
That commit earned Skip a snack at the back of head by Zuzu who was holding a paper fan.
"You just said you'd never let Yuya duel the Sledgehammer." Zuzu pointed out in annoyance.
"But for the good of the school." Skip argued rubbing his face.
"What about for the good of Yuya?" Zuzu questioned.
"Even back then she cared about him, no wonder they ended up together." Jarrod smiled. "I mean, ignoring the fact that it was fate they definitely would have still fallen in love."
"No joke." Misty agreed.
"Um, well..."
"Yeah, we gotta have Yuya's back." Gong agreed with Zuzu closing his eyes.
"Uh we can't..." Hearing that they looked seeing Yuya's gone as Zuzu finished, "'Cause... he ran off."
"Just like his old man." Nico remarked.
Later...
Gong, Zuzu, Cloud, Allie, and Skip, running down a hallway to a bright light before the camera pulled back to show a large stadium full of people with several duels taking place and balloons flying into the sky and a cheering crowd.
"You fans have to been clamoring for this duel and now it's finally happening!" Nico announced as it shows as scene is turning to a holographic billboard of Yuya vs the Sledgehammer, "Three years ago the famous Dueltainer Yusho Sakaki failed to defend his title against the Sledgehammer! Now Sakaki's own son will try to erase that disgrace!"
"Do you think Yuya will show up?" Zuzu asked nervous.
Gong shrugged, "Who knows? But Gong's gut says he will."
"All right! Then we'll get our ARC-" Skip started only for Zuzu to whack him again with her fan with a bandage at the bump as he weakly said, "Never mind."
"Now lets get this grudge match underway!" Nico announced as a card appeared in his hand. "Here goes, time to activate the field, Castle of Chaos!"
"Augmented Reality Combat System energized. Generating Action Field." a computer voice said as a machine below the arena glowed as the arena transformed into a landscape with castles looking like fangs appeared while the Sledgehammer stepped on the balcony.
"LET'S DUEL!"

Yuya 1st Turn:
Yuya immediately ran to a zip line and jumped on it riding down from the castle to the forest below. "I think I'll start things off by summoning Performapal Hip Hippo in attack mode."

"I think that's enough for now."
"They just started, and already he's taking off!" a audience member called finding this boring.
"At least he didn't ran off like his father. Though the only thing missing for this chicken are his wings." another audience member remarked.
Cloud frowned at this as Allie took his hand.
"Just ignore them, they'll understand." the blonde woman smiled knowingly.
Sledgehammer 1st Turn:
"You're father is good at running away but it won't help you in this duel. I activate Feast of the Wild LV5, this lets me summon two level five monsters immediately, and I pick Swamp Battleguard and Lava Battleguard!" the Sledgehammer declared as the two monsters appeared.

"There it is, his best monster." cheered a young man in the crowd.
"I then activate another Feast of the Wild LV5 to bring Swamp Battleguard and Lava Battleguard back from my graveyard."
The two monsters reappeared at that.
"Now for every Warrior monster I sacrifice Battleguard King gets an extra attack." the Sledgehammer revealed as Swamp Battleguard and Lava Battleguard vanished. "Attack his hippo!"
Battleguard King struck the ground only for it to be revealed that Yuya and Hip Hippo survived.
"Sorry, but I played Evasion!" Yuya grinned.

"It negates one attack, but I have two more." the Sledgehammer reminded Yuya. "Attack again Battleguard King!"

(Yuya: 2900)
"Sorry, but I grabbed Miracle which cuts the damage in half and stops Hip Hippo from being destroyed." Yuya smiled.
Miracle

If a monster on the field battles: Target that monster; it cannot be destroyed by that battle, also any battle damage is halved.
"But I still have 1 more attack to make! Again!" the Sledgehammer called.

"And Yuya had managed to power through the overwhelming assault!" Nico announced seeing this.
"Fine keep your monsters they won't last long." the Sledgehammer said ending his turn with a face-down.
Yuya: 0900
Sledgehammer: 4000
Yuya 2nd Turn:
Yuya drew his cards and smiled seeing it. "Ladies and Gentlemen!"
Screens appeared to show him at that.
"Allow me to introduce you all to the main star of the Yuya Spectacular, a wonder of the dragon world." Yuya grinned as he jumped off of Hip Hippo and took off his clown outfit before Hip Hippo and his token vanished. "I summon Odd-Eyes Dragon!"

Battleguard King: (ATK: 3000 - 3000 = 0)
"What?" the Sledgehammer asked in shock.
"Now Odd-Eyes Dragon attack Battleguard King with Spiral Flame!" Yuya grinned as Odd-Eyes charged an attack. "When Odd-Eyes destroys a monster in battle you take damage equal to half its original attack points!"
Hearing that the Sledgehammer muttered to himself, "Battleguard King's attack points in half are 1500. If I lost another 2500 from this attack... The result would be catastrophic!"
Realizing this would deal 4000 points of damage which is the amount total he has as the blast struck.
"Oh the blast hits, and-Wait!" Nico announced as the smoke cleared showing Battleguard King survived as Sledgehammer was shown with Miracle.
"You aren't the only one who can play an Action Spell." the Sledgehammer smirked showing Miracle. "I was keeping this little baby just in case."
(Sledgehammer: 2750)
Yuya's eyes widened in shock. 'No way...'
"Oh, and Sledgehammer reminds us why he's number one!" Nico announced.
"Anything else?" the Sledgehammer taunted.
"I... end my turn." Yuya finished nervously.
Battleguard King: (ATK: 0 + 3000 = 3000)
Yuya: 0900
Sledgehammer: 2750

"My move, and I think I'll start with Battleguard Rage to give my Battleguard King 1000 more attack points." the Sledgehammer smirked.

Yuya's eyes widened in shock before jumping to a tree where an Action Card was hidden among the leaves.
"You won't get away! Battleguard King!" the Sledgehammer called as his monster jumped forward.
Yuya closed his eyes sadly. "I play Damage Banish!"
Damage Banish
Action Spell Card
If you would take battle damage: Reduce it to 0.
"You might destroy Odd-Eyes... but I'm not beat yet."
The dragon was smacked shattering as the Sledgehammer said, "Monsters destroyed from battle with a Warrior powered up by Battleguard Rage returned to your hand instead of the graveyard."
Yuya's eyes widened seeing his ace monster was back in his hand. "Odd-Eyes..."
"And I make your situation more dire by activating Battleguard Magic!" the Sledgehammer called.
Battleguard Magic
Quick-Play Spell Card
When a monster is returned to the hand: Gain LP equal to half its ATK.
"As your monster returned to your hand I make your situation more dire by gaining points equal to half it's attack points!" the Sledgehammer called glowing. (Sledgehammer: 4000)
"Yuya..." Zuzu whispered seeing that as Cloud, and Allie looked worried.
"What will you do now?" the Sledgehammer smirked.
'That's a good question, none of these cards can help me win. Maybe I'm really not good enough to defend my dad's honor.' Yuya thought looking at his hand of monster cards.
Then his Pendulum started glowing.
'What?' Yuya thought in shock before seeing some of his cards were transforming along with Cloud's Deck which Allie noticed.
His cards transformed into a Spell Hybrid.
Yuya 3rd Turn:
Yuya drew his card before closing his eyes only to open them confidently.

"Oh, and Yuya has pulled out a surprising turn around!" Nico cried.
"When Performapal Sword Fish is summoned all your monsters lose 600 attack and defense points." Yuya told the Sledgehammer.
Battleguard King: (ATK: 4000 - 600 = 3400/DEF: 1100 - 600 = 500)
"Your monsters are still lower!" the Sledgehammer pointed out.
"Performapal Whip Snake's special ability switches Battleguard King's attack and defense points!" Yuya revealed.
Whip Snake hynoptized King. (ATK: 500/DEF: 3400)
"What?" the Sledgehammer asked in shock.
"Now, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon attack Battleguard King!" Yuya called, "Spiral Flame Strike! When Odd-Eyes battles the damage is doubled! Reaction Force!"
The new dragon struck Battleguard King.
The Sledgehammer grabbing an Action Card called, "I activate Evas-What? Why isn't it activating?"
As he's asking this Stargazer is glowing.
"Stargazer Magician's Pendulum Ability, when a Pendulum Monster battles he can negate the activation of one of your spell cards." Yuya stated.
Evasion was stopped the Sledgehammer cried out landing hard.
Yuya: 0900
Sledgehammer: 0000
Yuya wins the duel!
Yuya suddenly blinked. "Huh?"
As the crowd was cheering for Yuya's victory Allie remembered the glow she saw in Cloud's Deck. Cloud was smiling before turning. "Did you see that Allie? Yuya did it."
"Yeah... But your Deck was glowing." Allie told him.
"Huh it was?" Cloud asked confused looking in his Deck only to widen his eyes, "Huh? What happened to my cards?"
Allie blinked and looked at them. Like Yuya's cards from earlier their a spell, and monster hybrid.
Her eyes widened. "What are those?"
"These... might be what Yuya used." Cloud said thinking that.
Allie looked at the cards only to smile. "Well you deserve special cards too."
Cloud turned to her before smiling, "And I also deserve you?"
Allie paused and looked up thoughtfully. "I don't know... do you?"
"I think I do." Cloud said hugging her before blushing, "So... tonight?"
Allie blushed at that. "Um... ok."
With that they looked back to where Yuya smiles from the cheering, and is happily welcoming it.
Later...
After Allie got permission from her parents they started off from Yoko making them dinner.
"Mmm... As always Miss Sakaki you outdone yourself." Cloud smiled to Yoko.
"Thank you Cloud." Yoko smiled back. "I'm glad you enjoy it."
"Yeah, and it's great that you came over Allie." Yuya smiled to her, "Maybe you, and Cloud got some Deck Planning?"
"A little bit." Allie nodded smiling.
"Well it's something you two are doing together. Just let me, or mom know if you two need anything." Yuya smiled.
"Ok, thank you." Cloud smiled. Soon after their finished Cloud asked Allie to wait upstairs. Allie nodded and was sitting in Cloud's room. Cloud soon arrived upstairs holding something.
"What's that?" Allie asked curiously.
"Here." Cloud smiled with a blush handing a I Love You card to Allie.
Her eyes widened as she opened it to read the card.
She opened the card where a Duel Monsters card slipped. Allie bent down and picked up the card. To her shock it was a card called Aquaactress Dolphin.

"This… where did you get this Cloudy?" Allie asked stunned.
"R-Read the card..." Cloud told her.
Allie hugged him. "I did... this is incredible."
She suddenly paused.
"But... how do you Synchro Summon?"
"Uh... You take what's called a Tuner Monster, and you take monsters that aren't Tuners, and add their levels together so that it equals a Synchro Monster's level but you have to fulfill the summoning conditions." Cloud explained, "Dolphin uses Aquaactresses that aren't Tuners."
"That sounds a little complicated, can you help me Cloudy?" Allie asked him with wide eyes.
Cloud blushed a bit from the eyes but softly smiled over. "Yeah... of course. I'll help."
Smiling she hugged him back and kissed him on the nose. "Thank you."
Cloud blushed a bit but smiled hugging her close to him.

Ulrich362: Yeah... just a little bit. Though for the curious, no the farthest at this point would be cuddling together. Nothing beyond that.
