AN: So sorry for last year's chapters being cut off early. I just couldn't find any time to write, and it was just a really hectic time, so, I'm sorry for that. On the plus side, I only had five chapters to go last year, so this year I am going to try and at least finish those chapters, if not start the chapters that I would have written for this year.
I also need to explain that I didn't really get any motivation to right after February after going through a pretty bad breakup, and when I did get inspiration, it wasn't for this fic or any of my other Fics. So, I am still working on the chapters from last year. So, please be patient. I will try and make these chapters as best as I can for you.
Without further ado, let's see how far I get this year.
Miho was walking around, trying to find her next Duel when she saw a man with a hot sauce themed deck that looked familiar, and sat to watch. She might Duel him next.
He looked like a Koala had taken human form and could bench press a truck.
After his Duel he looked around and saw Miho. "Are you a Duelist?" He asked.
"I am." She spoke.
"You looking for a Duel?"
"Yes."
"Then, Let's Duel." He spoke.
Miho ran to her side of the field and activated her Duel Disk.
"Let's Duel!" They shouted in unison.
Miho Nosaka: 4000
Kumazo Maeda; 4000
"I'll start!" Miho said, drawing a card. "I'll set a card in the spell and trap zone and play Des Kangaroo in attack position."
A holographic kangaroo with red shoes, a pair of purple boxing shorts with a hole for its tail, red boxing gloves, and a purple vest appeared on the battlefield, before shadow boxing.
A holographic card appeared behind the Kangaroo.
"I end."
"I draw." The man said. "Here I Come!" He shouted. "I summon Dizzy Tiger in attack mode!"
A holographic bipedal tiger wearing a pair of khaki's, with a tank top and a waist trainer. He wore a sleep mask over his eyes and was wobbling around like he was drunk. In his hand he was holding a bottle of hot sauce like a bottle of alcohol.
"Is he drunk off of hot sauce?" Miho asked.
"That he is!" The man shouted. "He's a drunken boxing champion! Dizzy Tiger Attack Des Kangaroo! Hot Sauce Slash!"
Dizzy Tiger ran at Des Kangaroo and slashed at it, killing it, cutting Miho with its claws.
Miho Nosaka: 3700
Kumazo Maeda: 4000
"I end." Kumazo Said.
"I draw." Miho drew her next card. "I play a Card in the spell and trap zone and set a monster in face down defense position."
Two holographic cards appeared on Miho's side of the field, and she looked at Kumazo. "I end."
Kumazo drew a card. "I play Dizzy Angel!" He Spoke.
A holographic blonde Angel wearing a white two-piece suit with a black shirt and hat, red tie, and also holding a bottle of hot sauce.
"In response, I activate the trap card Bottomless Trap Hole." Miho Said. "If you summon a monster with 1500 or more ATK it gets destroyed and removed from play."
Dizzy Angel fell through a hole in the ground. It tried flying to escape, but the monsters who had Fallen in before it grabbed hold and dragged it down trying to save themselves.
"I see." Kumazo Said. "Very resourceful, but it won't save you from Dizzy Tiger! Dizzy Tiger! Attack her face down! Hot Sauce Slash!"
Dizzy Tiger attacked, destroying Miho's Summoner Monk, but not dealing any damage."
"Next I'll play a card face down in the spell and trap zone before playing Flipping the table!"
"I'll Activate Mystical Space Typhoon on your Flipping the Table!" Miho shouted. Destroying his Flipping the Table card. "You wasted your combo." Miho said. "I thought you looked familiar. You're the Hot Sauce Tycoon, Restauranter, and semi-Pro duelist from Australia. I barely remembered your Combo in time. I'm glad I did too."
"I see. Well played." Kumazo said. "Well played indeed. I end my turn."
"Your Flipping the table card destroyed your cards and would have destroyed any card that I had, but it only left you wide open! I draw!" Miho looked at her hand. "I play Pot of Greed, drawing two cards, and next I'll set a card in the spell and trap zone. Next, I'll play Des Kangaroo and attack you directly for 1500 ATK! Des Kangaroo! Dynamo Punch!"
Des Kangaroo attacked Kumazo with a series of lightning fast punches that left him panting heavily.
Kumazo Maeda: 2500
Miho Nosaka: 3700
"Well played." Kumazo Said. "Do you end?"
"Yes." Miho Said. "I end."
"Then I draw." Kumazo said. "I play another Hot Sauce Bottle, and play a card face down in the spell and trap zone. Next, I'll play another Dizzy Tiger! Dizzy Tiger, Attack! Hot Sauce Slash!"
Dizzy Tiger attacked, destroying Des Kangaroo, and dealing 300 points of damage to Miho.
Miho Nosaka: 3400
Kumazo Maeda: 2500
"I end."
"I draw." Miho Said. "Then I play a Card in Face Down Defense Position and activate the Field Spell Closed Forest."
A holographic card appeared face down on the field, followed by the entire field being enclosed in thick forest that cut them off from the sun.
"Closed Forest gives my Beast-Type monsters a 100 ATK bonus for every monster in my Graveyard. It also makes it so that Field spells can't be played while this card is on the field and one turn after this card is destroyed. I end."
"I draw." Kumazo said. "I'll play a second Dizzy Angel and have Dizzy Tiger attack for Face Down!"
"You attacked my Des Koala, and he has the same Defense as your Tiger's Attack, and thanks to his effect, you also lose 400 life points for each card in your hand."
"I lose 800 Life Points." Kumazo Said.
Kumazo Maeda: 1700
Miho Nosaka: 3400
"I end."
"I draw." Miho drew her next card. "Next. I'll set a card in the spell and trap zone and end my turn."
"I draw!" Kumazo said. "I'll sacrifice my Dizzy Tiger and Dizzy Angel to play Dizzy Master!"
A Man wearing wrappings from his feet under his pants, with his pants tied at his ankles with a black and red tank top with a belt tied around his waist, bracelets on his wrists, and armless on his arms. His pale hair was kept in a ponytail with a few strands framing his face appeared on the field.

"When Dizzy Master appears on the field, I can send any number of Hot Sauce Bottles from my side of the field to my Graveyard, and Dizzy Master deals an additional 500 damage for each Hot Sauce Bottle destroyed this way!"
Dizzy Master picked up the Hot Sauce Bottles, drank them, and threw them at Miho.
Miho was hit with the three empty bottles that dealt 1500 damage to her.
Miho Nosaka: 1900
Kumazo Maeda: 1700
Then Miho was Hit with a cloud that caused her eyes, nose, and throat to burn as her Life Points dropped again.
Miho Nosaka: 0400
Kumazo Maeda: 1700
"That's not all. I'll have my Dizzy Maste attack your Des Koala, and when he attacks a defense position monster, he inflicts piercing damage!"
"I activate my Trap Card! Magic Cylinder! It takes any damage you would deal to me and delivers it back to you!"
A massive Cylinder appeared on the field and Dizzy Master staggered through the Cylinder, out the end and punched at his target only to realize too late that he'd hit Kumazo.
Kumazo Maeda: 0000
Miho Nosaka: 0400
"Well played!" Kumazo Said. "You make take any card from my deck and my locator card."

"I'll take the Dizzy Koala." She spoke.
"An excellent choice. There was only one ever printed."
"Really!" Miho squeaked. "It's that rare?"
"That it is. Enjoy your new card, and hopefully we will meet in the semi-finals."
Miho let out a breath she'd forgotten she'd been holding and looked at Dizzy Koala. It was a super rare card, and she would cherish it forever.
Placing it in her deck box with the Locator card she went off to find her next Duel.
She found her next opponent when a man wearing black sunglasses, a black trench coat, and a black shirt with the words: "I AM THE HYPE!" Printed on it walked up to her.
"Do you trust me?" He asked.
"No." She spoke.
"Good but believe me when I say that there are people hunting you. They want to use you against Yugi. Now. Challenge me to a Duel, then I'll challenge you to a Duel."
"What?"
"Yes. Hurry up. They are almost here."
"Let's Duel!" They shouted in unison.
Miho Nosaka: 4000
Tommy Rale Tale: 4000
"I'll draw." Miho said. "Next, I'll activate the Closed Forest Field Spell."
The Arena was shrouded by thick Foliage as holographic trees appeared and covered both Duelists.
"I end."
A group of Rare Hunters ran through Battle City trying to find Miho Nosaka. They watched as a forest closed around a pair of Duelists.
"Should we check in there?" A Rare Hunter asked.
"No!" Another Rare Hunter shouted. "Damn it, Harold! You don't interrupt a Duel! Now, split up. Let's find her!"
The Rare Hunters split up, trying to find Miho.
"My turn." Tommy said. "I'm going to summon Marincess Pascalus in attack mode, activating her effect. Anytime that she is normal or special summoned, I can special summon a Marincess from my hand in defense position, so I will special summon Marincess Basilalima in face up defense position."

"Uh... You're welcome, I guess." Miho said.
Tommy looked at her. "I challenge you to a Duel now."
"Okay." Miho deactivated her Duel Disk, took her deck out, shuffled up before sliding her deck back into the Duel Disk. "Let's duel."

"You win." Tommy said. "Here. Please take these decks." Tommy handed her the Marincess and Reptilianne decks. "We will see each other again very soon." He said, running to find another Duelist to give a deck to.
"Hey!" Miho shouted, putting the decks in her deck box. "Where's my Locator Cards!"
"Miho Nosaka." A voice said from behind her. "We need you to come with us."
Miho looked behind her and saw a group of Rare Hunters. "Why should I?" She asked, reaching for her defense alarm.
The Rare Hunter in front held up a picture of Tristan chained to a cargo container. "If you don't Tristan will die."
"Okay!" Miho shouted. "Don't hurt him!" She felt tears sting the corners of her eyes.
"We won't so long as you come with us."
Miho went with the Rare Hunters, heading to the docks where she saw Shiera and Joey were chained to cargo containers with a man she didn't know and Joey's sister, Serenity, chained to them.
"MIHO!" Tristan shouted. "RUN!"
The Rare Hunters picked Miho up and carried her to the spot where Tristan was suspended and chained her to the chain connected to Tristan's Cargo Container.
"Let her go Marik!" Tristan shouted.
"I think not! Not until the Pharaoh has shown that he is the villain here and I am the one meant to rule!"
"Shadup!" Joey shouted.
Rare Hunter's beat Joey.
"STOP!" Serenity shouted.
"You will all thank me later." Marik said. "I know that my methods are cruel, but you will thank me."
"Why are you doing this!?" Miho demanded.
"Because! The Pharaoh has possessed your friend Yugi Muto, and I am here to prove to you who the real villain is."
"You're the one who kidnapped us!"
"For your own good! Why can't you see that I am not the villain here!"
"Because Yugi never chained us up."
"Some chains are not physical." Marik said. "You will see the truth when the Pharaoh kills you all to rescue his consort."
"Who?"
"The one with the bubbly personality who always talks about friendship."
"TeA?"
"Yes, her."
"TeA?"
"I don't know. He keeps calling me Yugi's consort."
"He's insane!" Joey and Tristan shouted.
"Say that again and I will drop both of your containers into the ocean."
Joey and Tristain stopped talking.
"Thank you. Now, maybe we can wait for the pharaoh in silence."
Everyone waited feeling dread rise up inside them as they waited.
