Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
The two girls walked downstairs with Riley still in Cassie's PJs holding her clothes from yesterday, and has on her Duel Disk with Cassie dressed up.
"Riley, would you like something to wear?" Yoko asked.
"I-It's okay Miss Sakaki." Riley said to her with a smile.
"She said she wants to keep those on until we get to her house." Cassie smiled taking her girlfriend's arm.
"Alright." Yoko smiled.
"I'll be back Momma." Cassie smiled before she, and Riley walked out with the man.
Riley blushed but smiled. Cassie smiled to her as they arrived at LID minutes later.
"Mrs. Akaba wants to see you both." the man told them.
Cassie smiled assuringly to Riley as they walked where Riley's mom is at. Henrietta was sitting at a desk before glancing up at them causing Riley to flinch.
Cassie stood up at attention saying, "Good morning Miss Akaba. How are you doing this fine day?"
"What exactly are you doing?" Henrietta questioned.
That made Cassie blink.
"Declan informed you of our situation correct?" she inquired. "The Fusion Dimension could make its move at any moment and we need the greatest duelists to be ready to fend them off and stop them for good. That includes Riley."
Riley shuddered at that and moved closer to Cassie. Cassie sighed, "Oh come on Miss Akaba. There's nothing wrong to have fun once in a while as long as your always on your guard."
"This is a war we're preparing to fight, one you are hardly qualified for I might add. You're simply distracting Riley from what matters, her deliberately losing to you is proof of that." Henrietta stated. "Riley, go back down and get back to work. We have a lot of time to make up after all, you're our weapon against Duel Academy."
Riley flinched before Cassie took her shoulder.
"Riley, I told you to head down and get back to practicing." Henrietta told her.
"Miss Akaba?" Cassie asked her, and said when she has Henrietta's attention, "I don't know what's wrong but I do know that you have no right to treat Riley as nothing more then a tool. She's a living, breathing girl, and wants to be treated as such. She wants to experiences the joys of having fun, being loved, and having dreams. And I'm giving her that kind of satisfaction."
Henrietta's eyes widened hearing that.
"Cassie..." Riley whispered in awe.
"And you should be nice, and not plug her with wires, and encourage her to duel for fun." Cassie continued, "Because if you don't, and the war is over for her what would be her purpose? Your her mom, not her superior... Okay that sounded wrong but I think you get the point. Riley is your daughter, and she wants you treating her as such, I know because I love her."
To prove it she kissed Riley.
"She has a point mother, after all we've seen that attitude before, from Yusho Sakaki." mentioned a male voice.
Hearing that they turned to see Declan walking in.
"I'm well aware of the situation and how limited our time is but Riley has been through more than enough." Declan stated calmly. "If after all this time you doubt her skills as a duelist then she shouldn't be a Lancer in the first place, but this war isn't the only thing in the world. The time before he left, and what will come after he's stopped."
Cassie hugged Riley. Riley hugged Cassie back with tears in her eyes.
"... Have any of You Show's duelists even qualified?" Henrietta asked.
"Not all of us." Cassie answered, "I have 4 wins."
"And you're the only one who isn't qualified to compete?" Henrietta asked.
"My big brother hasn't been qualified yet, and me, and Riley overheard him saying he might be the only one who can't." Cassie replied.
"Unfortunately that's correct." Declan nodded. "Yuya Sakaki won't be able to compete with his current dueling record."
That made Cassie look down.
"However there may be one way." Declan clarified.
"Huh?" Cassie asked him.
"The Arc-League Championship begins in two weeks time, if Yuya wins four official duels before then he'll be allowed to enter. Though in either case he will be a Lancer." Declan stated.
Cassie nodded hearing that.
"Of course you also need two more consecutive wins." Declan mentioned.
"Okay I understand." Cassie nodded at that.
"Um... Cassie?" Riley asked nervously.
Hearing that she looked to her girlfriend. Riley was blushing. "Thank you."
Cassie smiled kissing her.
"Why don't you head home Cassie, we'll see if we can find opponents for you and your brother." Declan suggested. "Oh, and here."
He handed her a piece of paper. Curiously she took it putting it in her pocket, "Thanks Declan. And can I steal Riley for a bit longer?"
"Only a bit?" Declan inquired.
"I want to spend a lot of time with her." Cassie answered, "And I want to love on her."
Declan smiled but Henrietta frowned before sighing. "Very well, we'll just have to hope she's prepared."
Hearing that Cassie grinned pulling Riley close to her hugging. Riley hugged her back only to start tearing up.
"Come on Riri." Cassie smiled taking Riley's arm with her's walking out with her.
"If Riley gets distracted we won't have any weapon to defeat Leo." Henrietta told Declan.
"Cassie won't distract Riley. And she'll be ready." Declan told her.
Meanwhile the girls walked out of LID as Cassie grinned, "We get to have more fun while I try to qualify!"
"Ok." Riley smiled before looking down. "Can... can I do something?"
"What?" Cassie asked curiously.
Riley blushed slightly before embracing Cassie and kissing her only to pull back with a blush. "That."
Cassie giggled. Riley blushed at that. Cassie then pulled out the paper Declan gave her, "What is this?"
Before opening it. It was a code for her Duel Disc, so she could message Riley even if they weren't together. Cassie giggled before typing the code on the Duel Disk which was installed before smiling, "Let's head back home Riri."
Riley smiled. "Yeah... ok."
They walked back to the Sakaki house.
"Cassie wait a second." Riley said suddenly.
Cassie turned to her confused. Riley looked around to make sure nobody was nearby before blushing and quickly kissing Cassie's stomach. Cassie smiled before giggling at that. Riley was red as they walked back into the Sakaki house.
"You know what I think is the cutest part of your tummy?" Cassie asked with a smile.
"What?" Riley asked.
Cassie smiled before poking Riley's belly button, "That."
Riley started giggling. "That tickles."
Cassie grinned before starting to poke it several times. Riley started giggling more and more before starting to cry. Startled Cassie stopped. Riley hugged her again as Cassie realized they were tears of happiness. "I'm so glad I met you... thank you."
Cassie smiled patting her back as they entered the house. A dog and a cat walked over to Cassie.
"Hi En, hi Core." Cassie smiled rubbing their heads, "Momma loves cute animals, and takes any strays in."
Riley flinched at that before kneeling down to let them smell her hands. They sniffed before the cat rubbed it's head against her hand while the dog licked her other one. Riley smiled petting them. "They're cute... almost as cute as someone else."
"And you meant me?" Cassie smiled taking Riley's shoulders with one of her arms.
"Yeah." Riley nodded.
Cassie giggled before they walked upstairs together after greeting Yoko, and Yuya explaining the situation entering Cassie's room again.
"Do you want me to teach you how my cards work?" Riley asked.
"Okay." Cassie smiled nodding over to her, "It's called C/C, right?"
"Yeah." Riley nodded taking out her cards. "They all focus on this one, C/C Critical Eye."
She handed Cassie the card.

If this card is used as a Material for a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon, the other Material(s) must be a monster(s) you do not control.
"A monster that forbids another monster from being used to summon a card?" Cassie asked confused seeing it, "Isn't that bad?"
"Well, for most people but my deck is special." Riley explained taking out four other cards. "Look at these."

Then, treat this card as a monster, and its Type, Attribute, Level, ATK, and DEF become the same as the targeted monster's, also 1 "C/C Critical Eye" you control is treated as a Tuner monster, but its effects are negated.

"Oh, okay. So these cards aren't monsters so you can use them to summon other monsters while cycling through them with Nightmare Critical Loop." Cassie said now understanding exactly what there about.
"That's right." Riley smiled. "So my deck is special, but it relies on my opponent. Kind of like..."
She paused at that and looked down.
"Like your brother?" Cassie guessed over to her. "What does he use?"
"I... meant like how I rely on you." Riley admitted. "Oh, but Declan plays a D/D/D Deck... it's probably the strongest one in the entire Dimension."
Cassie giggled hearing that before suddenly grinning going over to the shelf. Riley sat on the bed watching curiously. Cassie came back before having Riley close her eyes as Riley felt her writing on her stomach. Riley tried to stay still but was giggling.
"Done!"
Cassie had her open her eyes as Riley see she was holding a marker.
"Cassie? What did you do?" Riley asked.
Cassie grinned before holding a mirror for Riley to see a backwards message on her stomach but soon figured out what it says.
'Love ya, and this tummy of your's, Riri!'
Riley giggled at that.
"Yeah I can't help writing on it!" Cassie giggled.
"Can I put something on your belly?" Riley asked her.
"Sure." Cassie grinned to her. "What ya got?"
Taking the marker Riley paused before blushing as she started to draw something before after a while taking it away revealing she had drawn a heart around Cassie's belly button. Cassie smiled seeing it before she looked at Riley, "Well you can kiss this heart ya know?"
Riley smiled kissing it before pausing. "Cassie... thank you."
"Aw, your welcome Riri." Cassie giggled again as she rubbed Riley's head, "I love you."
"I love you too." Riley smiled before pausing. "Um... can we cuddle?"
"Of course." Cassie smiled fixing her shirt, and laid down on her bed, "Come on Riri."
Riley blushed before crawling next to Cassie and curling up with her head on Cassie's shoulder. Cassie held her close with a smile snuggling close to her, "You smell so nice."
Riley blushed at that.
Later...
Cassie soon looked at the clock seeing it says 1:21 PM, "Oh nearly time for my shower."
"Oh... ok." Riley nodded at that. "Can I sit here while we wait?"
"Sure, you just stay right there." Cassie smiled walking to her dresser for a change of clothes.
Riley smiled before closing her eyes starting to tear up before gently wiping them away as she laid down on Cassie's bed, feeling incredibly safe and comfortable. After Cassie gets in the shower Riley stays laying on the bed before she hears a knock from the opened doorway.
"Huh?" she asked. "Um... come in?"
The person walked before what appeared in Riley's vision was Yoko who has a soft smile. "Comfortable?"
"Oh, Mrs. Sakaki. Yes." Riley nodded sitting up. "Very comfortable."
Yoko chuckled from this, "Cassie is probably the most chillax person you can encounter. She may have my strong will genes but her playful nature she gets from her father."
Riley frowned. "She must miss him."
Yoko nodded over to that. "Yes she does. But she has her brother, and now you with her."
Riley nodded at that only to frown. "How much did Cassie tell you?"
"About you, and her?" Yoko asked.
"Well that, and... the war." Riley added.
"She told me about some of the important stuff but Yusho is fighting with Declan." Yoko answered at that.
"Then... you know it's our fault he's gone." Riley frowned. "And, that he might not ever come back."
She hugged her knees and started tearing up at that. Yoko gives her a soft hug. Riley's eyes widened before hugging her with tears. Riley just cried in her arms.
A bit later Cassie came back only to see Yoko holding Riley.
"Riri?" Cassie was quite surprised while her hair in wrapped in a towel while in a change of clothes, "Momma what's wrong with Riri?"
"She feels guilty for why your dad left." Yoko explained.
Cassie blinked but nodded walking over, "Riri?"
She looked up revealing tears in her eyes. Cassie was giving a soft smile to her offering her arms. Riley teared up before hugging her. Cassie hugged her rubbing her back with a smile before asking, "Want to cuddle more?"
"Can we?" Riley asked quietly.
Cassie nodded to her with a smile. "If that's what you want."
"I… I want to stay with you right now."
Cassie nodded as Yoko walked off waving bye to them before Cassie laid down on the bed gesturing Riley to join her. Riley crawled into the bed before cuddling up against Cassie with her head on her shoulder. Cassie held her with a smile while Riley smell's the shampoo, and bodywash Cassie applied on herself. Blushing she moved closer at that. "Is that orange? It smells nice."
Riley smiled at that.
Later...
"Cass? Are you upstairs?" Zuzu's voice called.
"Yeah!" Cassie called taking her towel off her head to get dressed.
She suddenly felt someone hug her. She looked to see. Riley had hugged her. Cassie smiled at her.
"Cassie..." Riley started before letting go and shaking her head before sitting down and looking at her cards.
Cassie put her clothes on before grinning tackling Riley on the bed laughing.
"Ack!" Riley cried out falling over. "Cassie?"
"I just want to love on you!" Cassie giggled cuddling on her.
Riley smiled before blushing. "Can I put something on first?"
Cassie at that got off her for that. Riley blushed before getting dressed. After that Cassie tackled her again to the bed snuggling against her. Riley closed her eyes before gently rubbing Cassie's head. Cassie giggled before started to rubbing Riley's stomach tracing it.
"Cassie?" Zuzu's voice called.
"In here!" Cassie called.
Zuzu walked in before smiling. "Oh, am I interrupting?"
"No." Cassie smiled to her snuggling on Riley.
"Dad wanted to know if you were staying home today." Zuzu explained.
"I was with Riri talking to Miss Akaba" Cassie explained. "Can you say sorry to Mr Skip for me?"
"Sure." Zuzu nodded.
Cassie smiled to her, "Thanks big sis."
"Anytime." Zuzu smiled giving her a quick hug.
Cassie hugged her back. Zuzu smiled before walking out of the room leaving Riley and Cassie alone. Cassie smiled turning back to Riley seeing she dozed off. Suddenly grinning she grabbed a pillow, and placed it under Riley's shirt before shaking Riley. Riley shifted before blinking. "Cassie?"
"You dozed off." Cassie smiled down to her.
"Oh, sorry I..." Riley started looking at her stomach and turning bright red. "Huh?"
"What?" Cassie asked her.
Riley was blushing. "My... what happened to me?"
Cassie tried to keep from laughing but couldn't do it laughing, "Hahahaha! You sure did fell for it!"
"Cassie..." Riley started tearing up.
"Ah hey sorry if I hurt your feelings!" Cassie said panicking feeling guilty.
Suddenly Riley blinked. "Huh, didn't you have three pill..."
"You're mean." she pouted.
Cassie giggled a little but said, "Still sorry if that hurt your feelings... I was just wanting to play a joke."
"It's ok..." Riley sighed. "But after what we said last night..."
Cassie giggled before taking a pillow, and stuffed it under her shirt. Riley blushed seeing that. "Oh wait... if you're not going to You Show what are you doing today?"
"Work on my Deck for the next two matches... And of course just love on you." Cassie giggled kissing her.
Riley blushed before they heard Yoko gasp. Hearing that they looked over, "Momma?"
"Yuya's going to Duel Reed Pepper." Yoko told her.
"Dueling your Idol?" Cassie asked blinking.
"Yes." Yoko nodded.
"Oh I wish him good luck." Cassie said before going to her Duel Disk to view Yuya's Duel.
"Do you think he can win?" Riley asked.
"I know so." Cassie smiled as they settled down.
Yuya's duel started where Reed was a tough Duelist, and Yuya didn't get Action Cards mostly because he was hungry.
"Mrs. Sakaki, did Yuya eat breakfast?" Riley asked.
"No... I was making Reed's Pork Cutlet Surprise, and Yuya was in a hurry." Yoko admitted.
"Yuya needs to eat or he might lose." Cassie panicked.
That was when they noticed Yoko wasn't there, and in the Duel they saw Yoko was there throwing something to Yuya which was pancakes that was stuffed with Reed's Port Cutlet recipe making a sandwich filling Yuya up, and beating Reed. Riley couldn't help but giggle seeing that. Cassie smiled setting her Duel Disk on the stand before kissing Riley, "Well now it's me next."
She removed the pillow from Riley's shirt, and snuggled against it.
"I don't know. But I'll find out." Cassie answered before kissing Riley's belly button keeping her mouth on it.
Riley started laughing again before the doorbell rang. Hearing that Cassie removed the pillow from her answering the door.
"Ah, miss Sakaki I'm glad you're here." Nico Smiley stated. "May I come in?"
"Nico." Cassie said surprised before letting him in.
Riley came down curiously to see what was going on.
"I've been asked by someone to find you two opponents before the Arc-League Championships and I have one set for you today." Nico Smiley told Cassie.
"So who is it?" Cassie asked curiously.
"You'll find out when we get there." Nico Smiley said calmly.
Cassie nodded before saying to Riley, "Let's get ready Riri."
"Ok." Riley nodded with a smile.
Soon after getting ready, and making sure Cassie's Deck is prepared they walked with Nico. He led them to a place called Bandit Warrior Academy. Cassie blinked, "Bandit Warrior Academy... I know I heard it before, where have I heard it before?"
Riley however was frowning. "There's nobody else she can duel?"
"This is one of the slots opened." Nico answered.
Riley frowned. "... Can I duel in her place?"
Hearing that Cassie turned, "Riley your already qualified, and I need to do these things by myself."
"But... you'll get hurt." Riley said. "Bandit Warrior Academy teaches its students attacking people is ok."
"Wait what?" Cassie asked shocked, "Why would they do that?"
"They just care about winning." Riley explained. "I... I don't want you to get hurt."
Cassie looked back at the school before saying to Nico, "Who's the opponent?"
"A duelist named Nagi." Nico Smiley answered.
Cassie nodded before taking a breath, "Okay... Then let's go."
"Cassie..." Riley whispered nervously.
At that they entered the school from the stairs, and see multiples of teens in different color gi training through Martial Arts. Riley frowned and grabbed Cassie's hand. "There's still a lot of time, let's leave."
"Oh girls this is a big training field for them." Nico told them not hearing Riley, "Remember to treat the School with upmost respect."
"Got it." Cassie said a bit nervous before they noticed an elder man having a long beard, and hair walking over with a purple haired teen with a hard demeanor wearing purple gi walking over.
"Oh girls pay attention, and give respect." Nico said to them before introducing, "This is Ryozan Godagawa the Owner, and Founder of Bandit Warrior Academy, and this School's Representative in the Arc-League Championship, Iggy Arlo."
Hearing the name has Cassie's eyes widen, "Oh now I remember this School now. There were the Runner Ups for last year's Arc-League Championship."
At that Ryozan and Iggy both glared at her.
"Cassie please... let's just go." Riley pleaded with her.
Cassie shook at the glares as Ryozan said, "For mentioning that you have no permission to leave. Until you either achieve victory, or suffer defeat."
"You should think before talking." Iggy glared.
"Haha." Nico chuckled nervously, "Uh calm down... *clears throat* Before things get out of hand why don't we get this over with Mr. Godagawa?"
"Very well." he nodded.
"I just screwed up didn't I?" Cassie whispered to her girlfriend.
Riley was trembling in fear. Ryozan clapped his hands as the students all gathered sitting on their knees to observe as a purple gi teen having a long black ponytail walked up, "Today we have a challenge here at Bandit Warrior. We have Nagi our defender vs You Show Student, Cassie Sakaki. Wish them the best of luck. Start Dueling when the gong is sounded."
With that he walked where he, and Iggy got on their knees beside Nico, and Riley as the field activated.
Temple of Honnō-ji
Action Field Spell
You can use Action Cards, but you can only have 1 Action Card in your hand.
Cassie at that activated her Duel Disk before bowing, "G-Good luck Nagi sir."
"Only the weak rely on luck." he told her.
That was when she told him, "Odds mean luck. The unpredictability of a Duelist can achieve great potential."
He just glared at her before one of the students hit a gong. She jumped startled but Nagi started, "Kicking off the battle!"
"T-To achieve one's self dream here on the field!"
"Gaining victory throughout odds!"
"Ready..." the two trailed off.
"DUEL!"

"I tribute Skylanders from my field, or hand to summon a Ritual Monster!" Cassie explained.
"A Ritual Monster?" Nagi questioned.

"Ritual and Xyz?" Iggy questioned in shock.

Nagi frowned seeing the monsters.
"Then 1 set card. Your turn." Cassie said before jumping up the platforms for an Action Card.
The moment she did Nagi jumped up and kicked her hard sending her crashing back to the ground. Before he kicked her Crusher suddenly jumped using his body to take the hit as Cassie took the card.
"What?" Nagi questioned in shock.
"Idiot, you were too slow!" Iggy snapped.
Nagi 1st Turn:
"It won't happen again, I set two cards and enter my Battle Phase." Nagi stated.

Cassie 2nd Turn:
"My turn!" Cassie called drawing, "During this Standby Phase, I remove an Overlay Unit from Smash Hit to keep him in play."
Smash Hit took the Unit. (ORU: 2 - 1)
"But now as Drobot was sent to the graveyard, 1 monster on your field is destroyed! Such as your Fusion Monster!" Cassie called.
Hearing that Nagi leapt for an Action Card
"I activate Mirror Barrier, this protects Raijin!" Nagi called.
Mirror Barrier
Action Spell Card
Target 1 monster on the field; it cannot be destroyed by card effects.
Cassie nodded at that before jumping for an Action Card looking around as Nagi went to attack her but Crusher again guard her as Cassie jumped around. The more Nagi tried to attack Cassie to stop her, the more Crusher got in the way from blocking, taking hits, and pushing him out of the way. Suddenly Nagi's expression darkened as he turned and Cassie heard Riley scream. Hearing that Cassie turned to see what's going on. Nagi had turned and struck Riley sending her crashing into a wall in pain.
"Riley!" Cassie cried at that.
"H-hey stop this!" Nico called.
"That's enough!" Ryozan shouted.
Everyone turned to him. Ryozan walked to Nagi with a enraged gaze, "Nagi, we do not attack audience members... They were not involved in this match. What you just done is disgracing Bandit Warrior Academy."
Nagi flinched at that. "I... only meant to ensure my victory. That's all that matters isn't it?"
"We only use Martial Arts against our opponents. Not at the audience." Ryozan glared, "If you win this duel then I will excuse this incident."
"Yes sir." Nagi nodded.
Cassie meanwhile ran to Riley, "Riri! Are you okay?"
She was holding her stomach and looked to be hurt. Cassie glared at Nagi, "You creep! Who hits a girl like that!?"
Nagi meanwhile glared at her. "Take the rest of your turn."
"I will because this is the last turn of the duel." Cassie promised before getting an Action Card, "And I activate Skylander Fusion!"

"With it I can Fusion Summon a Skylander using monsters from my Field, or Hand!" Cassie called.
"Fusion too?" Iggy questioned in shock.
"And with it's magic, I can fuse Crusher with a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck!" Cassie called.
"So you're fusing your Ritual Monster with your Xyz Monster." Nagi noted.
"Not my Xyz Monster." Cassie told him, "It's a monster with a Light Attribute."
"Light? Both your monsters are Earth, and a monster in your hand doesn't count as an Extra Deck monster." Nagi pointed out.
"Exactly. Here's the kicker. When I use a Skylander Ritual Monster to Fusion Summon that Extra Deck monster can also be from YOUR field!" Cassie revealed.
"Wait what?" Nagi questioned in shock.
"So I fuse Crusher with your Raijin!" Cassie called as the two monsters were fused after Crusher forced Nagi's monster to do so, "That way I can summon Skylander Imaginator - Smasher!"
At that a metal monster having on a brown smash holding a hammer appeared calling, "The password is techno!"

Nagi's eyes widened before looking around for an Action Card.
"And now I activate Smash Hit's Special Ability!" Cassie called as the monster took another Overlay Unit (ORU: 1 - 0), "By using 1 Overlay Unit by cutting the damage in half you can't use Spells, or Traps to stop my Skylander's attacks!"
Nagi's eyes widened hearing that.
"And now Smasher attacks directly!" Cassie called as her Fusion charged, "Smasher's ability activates! When it's attacking directly, I can give it half the attack points of a Skylander Ritual Monster in my graveyard! I pick Crusher!"
Smasher: (ATK: 3000 + (2900 / 2) = 4450)
The attack hit as Nagi cried out.
(Nagi: 1775)
"And now I activate the Action Spell, Wonder Chance!" Cassie called.
Wonder Chance
Action Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster you control; this turn, it can attack once again.
"This allows Smasher to attack again!" Cassie called.
Nagi's eyes widened as he noticed an Action Card and ran for it. He grabbed it.
'Good, this should at least keep me in the duel.' Nagi thought.
"Smasher attacks again!" Cassie called as the monster charged.
Nagi cried out being hit before grunting. "I play Damage Banish to negate the damage!"
Damage Banish
Action Spell Card
If you would take battle damage: Reduce it to 0.
"Counter Trap activate! Magic Drain!" Cassie cried.
Magic Drain
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent activates a Spell Card: They can discard 1 Spell Card to negate this card's effect, otherwise negate the activation of their Spell Card, and if you do, destroy it.
"Unless you discard a Spell Card, Damage Banish's activation, and effect is negated!" Cassie called.
Nagi's eyes widened as he ran to find another Action Card. The moment he grabbed it the card shattered.
"Action Crush!" Cassie called revealing she grabbed another Action Card.
Action Crush
Action Spell Card
Destroy all Action Cards in your opponent's hand, also for the rest of this turn after this card resolves, each time a player adds an Action Card to their hand, destroy that Action Card.
Without Damage Banish Nagi's points weren't protected.
Cassie: 3900
Nagi: 0000
Cassie wins the duel!
(Cassie: 5 Wins)
The field vanished as Cassie sighed now happy it's over before going to help Riley. Riley still looked to be in a lot of pain.
"Oh Riri..." Cassie said helping her stand taking her arm around her shoulders, "I gotta take you back home. I gotta get you home."
Riley nodded before wincing before smiling weakly. "You're ok though... and just one more."
"I'll see you soon Nico." Cassie told the announcer before addressing to Ryozan, and Iggy, "Mr. Godagawa, Mr. Arlo? Victory doesn't matter in Duels. If you try to have fun you can see that it can give you wonders. Besides you must've had fun before in Dueling so who throw it aside? There's no shame in having fun."
With that said she got out helping Riley. As they were leaving she noticed Riley still looked to be in a lot of pain.
"He struck you bad." Cassie said worried before summoning Cynder who flew them back to the Sakaki household at Cassie's balcony as Cassie placed her on her bed, "Where did he hit you?"
Riley winced. "He kicked me in the chest, and I hit the wall."
Cassie hearing that pulled up Riley's shirt to see the injures. There was a bad bruise on her chest but and an even larger and worse looking one on her back that was bleeding. Cassie gasped in horror before running out before coming back holding things before helping Riley take her shirt off, "Riley this will sting but it will help."
With that she placed some spraying ointment on the bruise on Riley's back. Riley gasped in pain but let Cassie apply the ointment. After that Cassie had gotten some wrap bandages helping Riley sit up as she wrapped the bandages around Riley's body to get her back, and chest tight so the bleeding can stop.
"Cassie? Are you home?" Yuya called from downstairs.
"Up here!" Cassie called finishing wrapping before taking a cold pack applying it to Riley's chest.
Yuya came up holding two containers only for his eyes to widen. "Huh, what happened?"
"We were at Bandit Warrior Academy..." Cassie answered trailing off.
Yuya looked horrified. "You mean... they did this too Riley? She's just a little kid, shouldn't they have used a safer Action Field?"
"...It wasn't the Action Field..." Cassie said starting to cry, "They actually attacked her."
Yuya's eyes widened in horror as Riley hugged Cassie.
"Should... should we tell Declan?" he asked her.
"No... That wouldn't do anything." Cassie said helping Riley lay down before applying Bandages on the Cold Pack to keep it in place, "And they'll think we done this to Riley."
Yuya looked down hearing that before putting the containers down on Cassie's nightstand. "Ok..."
With that he walked off as Riley looked at Cassie.
"Cass..."
Hearing that Cassie turned to her with tears. Riley looked sad seeing that before weakly getting up and hugging her. Cassie hugged her back crying, "I-I should've listened to you Riri!"
"It's ok." Riley whispered. "But... can I sleep on you right now?"
Hearing that Cassie looked at her confused, "Sleep on me?"
Riley blushed slightly. "Never mind."
Cassie kissed before grabbing the containers handing one to her, "...I would be glad to let you sleep on me for tonight."
Riley smiled at that. "Thank you."
Ulrich362: Not good... not good at all.
bopdog111: Riley got hurt from Bandit Warrior's cruel methods.
Ulrich362: True, but at least she's with someone she loves.
bopdog111: Cassie will be more protective about Riley from this chapter forward.
Ulrich362: Definitely. So next up they'll go support Yuya in his next match?
bopdog111: It's a match, I haven't watched yet.
Ulrich362: Don't worry, I can lend a hand. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
