(didnt cut this in half since after the duel is the end of the chapter)

Kyoko took a spoon of sherbet ice cream into her mouth and looked at Jane. "you play yugioh right? Like I imagine you've seen kids at your school play it?" Jane asked. "Mm mm" Kyoko said, shaking her head and swallowed. "Daddy taught me" Kyoko said. "Dad *knows* how to play?" Jane said confused. "Uh huh! He's really good" Kyoko said.

"What did he teach you to use?" Jane asked. "Monarchs" Kyoko said. "Do you have your deck with you now?" Jane asked. Kyoko nodded and pulled out her deck. "Mind if i look through it first? Just to see how well it's built" Jane said, holding her hand out. Kyoko shook her head and held her deck away from janes hand protectively. "Ok… no need to get protective… if you don't want to show me you don't have to. Why don't you and I have a duel?" Jane asked. "You'll go easy on me right?" Kyoko asked.

"Of course, what kind of person would go all out against their younger brother or sister?" Jane said and thought about how Arcellious and Rachael usually duel and how Rachael usually beats Arcellious and how Arcellious usually beats Jane. "Ill sit on the other side" Jane said and moved so she was sitting across from kyoko and pulled out her deck and shuffled it.
8000 - 8000

"mind if i start this off?" Jane asked. Kyoko nodded. Janes starting hand: battle at sea, legendary ocean, levia-dragon Daedalus, legendary ocean, uminotaurus. "i activate legendary ocean, battle at sea, and set one card face down and end my turn" Jane said. "what do they do?" Kyoko asked. "lowers the level of water monsters by one and increases the attack and defense and if I deal damage it's doubled" Jane said explaining the two spells. Kyokos Starting Hand: Frost blast of the monarchs, domain of the true monarchs, one day of peace, march of the monarchs, eidos the underworld squire. Card Drawn: majesty's fiend. "I activate domain and march of the monarchs and one day of peace allowing us to draw one card" Kyoko said. Cards Drawn: sea stealth attack and upstart goblin. "Now I use upstart and draw another card" Card Drawn: ehther the heavenly monarch. 9000 - 8000 "now I summon eidos and tribute it for majesty's fiend and use frost blast to destroy your set monster" Kyoko said. "impressive..." Jane said. "now majesty's fiend attacks you directly" Kyoko said. "no damage due to one day of peace" Jane said. "I end" Kyoko said.

As Jane drew, Sly walked over and sat down and began watching. "Can I help you?" Jane said as she looked at her hand. "Yes, I'm very bored" Sly said. "Do I look like a clown to you?" Jane said. Sly looked a little upset at what jane was indicating. As Sly got up, Jane grabbed his arm. "wait... that was rude, I'm sorry... you know how I can get at times. can you... help out with ruling since you're always good with that?" Jane asked. "if you're ok with it?" Sly said and looked at Kyoko. Kyoko nodded in approval. "ok i set one card face down and summon mermaid knight in attack and end my turn" Jane said.

Card Drawn: erebus the underworld monarch. "I use majesty's fiend to attack your mermaid knight" Kyoko said. "I use my facedown sea stealth attack and banish to protect mermaid knight" Jane said. "cant. has to be face up and resolved to do that" Sly said. "Wait, what?" Jane said. "If you're flipping it face up you can't use the banish effect right away. but after the effect resolves on your next turn you can" Sly said. "gotcha" Jane said. 7500 - 8000 "I end" Kyoko said.

Card Drawn: Unshaven angler. "I summon unshaven angler and end my turn" Jane said. Card Drawn Edea the heavenly squire. Kyoko said nothing and pushed her card up a little indicating an attack. "I use sea stealth attack and banish angler" Jane said. "alright i'm going to presume she's relatively new and doesn't know much about rules am i correct?" Sly asked. "yes" Jane said. "alright, now when a monster leaves the field during an attack like in this case you get what's called an attack replay where you can redo the attack. Do you still want to keep attacking?" Sly asked. Kyoko nodded. 5100 - 8000 "end" Kyoko said. "On the end phase angler comes back" Jane said.

Card Drawn: Aquarium stage. "I activate aquarium stage and tribute angler for Daedalus and attack into majesty's fiend. sea stealth goes off automatically destroying the monster but it's protected by march of the monarchs so battle damage is done normally and due to battle at sea it's doubled so you take 800" Jane said. 5100 - 7200 "I end my turn" jane said. Card Drawn: Allure of darkness. "I use this and draw two cards and banish one" Kyoko said. Cards Drawn: upstart goblin, pantheism of the monarchs. card banished: erebus the underworld monarch.

"upstart draw one" Card drawn: eidos the underworld squire. 6100 - 7200 "edea, summon this guy and tribute both to summon heavenly monarch. monarch send two to special summon and I sent field and p..." Kyoko looks at the card unsure of how to pronounce the name. "don't worry about names" Jane said. "I special summon light monarch and use the effect to target Daedalus and your ocean to destroy them" Kyoko said. "I use sea stealth and banish Daedalus to protect my spells and traps" Jane said. "heavenly attacks directly" Kyoko said. 3300 - 7200 "end" Kyoko said. "Daedalus returns on end phase" Jane said. "Also kuraz goes to the hand from heavenly's effect" sly said.

Card Drawn: levia dragon Daedalus. "Daedalus attacks and since they have the same attack they would both be destroyed but stage protects Daedalus and end" Jane said. Card Drawn: Edea the heavenly squire. "set a monster and end" Kyoko said. Card Drawn: Warrior of atlantis. "Alright, now we're getting somewhere... Atlantis attacks your face down monster and levia attacks directly doubling the damage from battle at sea inflicting 5600 damage to you" Jane said. 3300 - 1600 "with that i end my turn" Jane said.

Card Drawn: vanity's fiend. "I summon eidos and tribute for kuraz and target both monsters to destroy" Kyoko said. "Sea stealth banish Daedalus but Atlantis gets destroyed and I draw one card" Jane said. Card Drawn: Poseidon wave. "I end" Kyoko said. "Alright, let's end this" Jane said. Card Drawn: Warrior of atlantis. "Oh look at that, another warrior. I summon it, Daedalus attacks destroying kuraz and warrior goes for game" Jane said. 3300 - 0

"I thought you said you would go easy on me" kyoko said and with a sulking look. "I did… believe it or not I really couldn't do much with the draws I was getting. I just got really lucky drawing into battle at sea at the start. I could've used daedalus's effect and sent ocean to destroy the entire field at any point I wanted" Jane said. Kyoko looked upset and Jane pushed the slightly melting ice cream bowl to Kyoko as a means of cheering her up. "Thanks for the help by the way" Jane said. "Of course" Sly said. "Oh also my brother or sister will want to talk to you about something. I don't know which one will do it but just a heads up" Jane said. "Alright, I'll keep my eyes open then" Sly said and walked away. "I hope Rachael or Arcellious are having luck with itachi and alice" Jane said.
