bopdog111: Been a while.
Ulrich362: That's true.
bopdog111: And now we're back with Cass, and Riley. What should we expect here?
Ulrich362: Not sure, we'll have to wait and see. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V but we own the OCs!
Cassie was already up replacing the ice while Riley slept. That's when she noticed Riley was trembling.
"Riri?" Cassie went, and softly shake her shoulder.
Riley suddenly shot up screaming before taking slow breaths.
"Riley!" Cassie cried startled holding her, "Hey, it's okay, it's okay."
Riley turned before hugging Cassie close as she realized it was a nightmare.
"It's okay." Cassie said patting her back, "It's just a bad dream."
Riley nodded before smiling. "I'm glad you're here."
Cassie smiled back before applying the ice pack. Riley flinched slightly before pausing. "Do you think Kaiba will really help us?"
"Yeah." Cassie nodded before softly kissing Riley's foot.
She smiled at that before getting up. "We should head back into the city."
Knock Knock.
It was Mokuba.
"Mokuba?" Cassie asked surprised, "What brings you here?"
"Seto wants to see you, and her." Mokuba answered.
Riley looked confused before turning to Cassie who nodded.
"Ok, did he say why?" Cassie inquired.
"He wants to challenge her since we know that Battle City forbids her real talents from working." Mokuba answered.
Riley's eyes widened. "Oh... I don't know."
"And we won't use Battle City rules, and he wants to test the new Synchro, and Xyz that came with his deck." Mokuba added.
"What about the tournament, doesn't he have to focus on that?" Cassie asked.
"Roland is watching it at the moment." Mokuba answered.
The two girls exchanged a glance before nodding.
"Alright then." Riley nodded.
He nodded before saying, "I'll wait for you to get ready."
He walked out as Cassie at that started to help Riley dress up. A few minutes later they met Mokuba outside the building.
"And Riley... should we ask him if he could help us?" Cassie asked her as they headed to him.
Riley blushed at that. "Um... I don't know. Do you think we should?"
"Yeah since we agreed last night at some point." Cassie answered.
Cassie nodded as they reached Mokuba, "Oh you two ready?"
"As ready as we can be." Cassie answered.
He nodded to that as they walked to Kaibacorp.
At Kaibacorp...
Kaiba was working on something, and talking to an employee. Another employee walked up to him. "Mr. Kaiba, they've just arrived."
Another employee walked up to him. "Mr. Kaiba, they've just arrived."
"Send them in." Kaiba told him.
The employee nodded before walking off.
Cassie, Riley, and Mokuba walked in as Kaiba said to them, "You both had a day yesterday starting with Espa Roba, teaching Action Duels to Mako, and then that Rare Hunter, Jamira."
"Yeah." Cassie nodded. "I'm still trying to qualify for the finals though."
"Well there is still time before then. Until then I want to know what my Deck can now do against her." Kaiba said turning to Riley at 'her'.
Riley nodded. "It can probably do a lot, mine can't do much of anything."
"We'll just have to find out." Kaiba told her.
Riley nodded. "Ok."
She then nervously glanced at Cassie. Cassie blinked seeing that, "Riri?"
Riley blushed before putting a hand on her stomach.
"You feeling sick?" Cassie asked before then realizing, "Oh, Mokuba?"
"Yeah?" he asked turning to her.
"Can you, and I talk for a minute?" Cassie asked.
"Yeah, is something wrong?" Mokuba asked her.
He, and Cassie walked out as she explained, "Well me, and Riley are together as you know, and we want to be parents when we grow up but we don't have someone that can help us out."
Mokuba nodded hearing that. "Ok..."
"And from getting to know you we decided if you should be that man." Cassie smiled.
Mokuba's eyes widened hearing that. "That... I mean... um... wow."
"Your kind, caring, and help manage rules. What more reasons do we need?" Cassie asked with a chuckle.
Mokuba blushed at that. "You... you could adopt you know."
"My dream is to have a baby grow in me so that wouldn't count." Cassie said shaking her head.
Mokuba blushed more at that. "Can I think about it?"
"Oh sure take as long as you need." Cassie nodded patting his back with a smile, "Me, and Riley would be grateful to you."
With that said she walked to where Riley, and Kaiba are at. Mokuba watched her walk off before swallowing nervously. 'Did she just ask me to...'
He quickly shook his head before following her. They arrived to where the two are about ready to begin, "You got your C/C Cards ready, Riri?"
Riley suddenly froze. "I didn't grab them."
"Ah no worry's." Cassie said handing the Deck to her, "You dropped it earlier."
Riley smiled. "Thanks Cassie."
Cassie nodded sitting down beside Mokuba as Riley prepared.
"We aren't using the tournament rules right?" Riley double checked.
"No since their the reason your real deck doesn't work." Kaiba answered.
Riley nodded. "Ok... then, who goes first?"
"I'll be first." Kaiba answered, "And activate that Program on these Action Matches."
"Riley can't Action Duel, her ankle is still injured!" Cassie told him.
"Very well." Kaiba said ready, "You ready?"
"DUEL!"

At that a white scaled dragon with blue eyes appeared roaring.

This legendary dragon is a powerful engine of destruction. Virtually invincible, very few have faced this awesome creature and lived to tell the tale.
Riley's eyes widened in shock.
"There it is! The Blue-Eyes White Dragon! One of the most rarest cards in the game!" Cassie cried in awe.
'A powerful monster with 3000 points, just like Declan's Doom King.' Riley thought.
"And now level 1 Maiden with Eyes of Blue tune together with Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Kaiba called as the two flew up.
(LV: 1 + 8 = 9)
"Dragon with Eyes of Blue! Evolve into a more powerful virtue to power your way to victory! Synchro Summon! Level 9, Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon!"
A white dragon with golden eyes appeared roaring.

Neither player can Special Summon 2 or more monsters at the same time.

During either player's turn: You can Tribute this Synchro Summoned card; Special Summon 1 LIGHT Dragon-Type Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck in Defense Position, except "Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon", but destroy it during the End Phase of this turn.
"Wow." Riley whispered.
"As long as it's on the field we can only summon 1 monster each time we do a summoning each turn." Kaiba told her, "And anytime you activate an effect from the graveyard it's cancelled out."
Riley nodded at that.
"I place 2 cards, and end my turn." Kaiba told her.
Riley 1st Turn:
Riley drew her card before smiling. "I set two cards and summon Film Magician in attack mode."
Film Magician

ATK: 0
DEF: 0
Cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card is attacked by an opponent's monster, during damage calculation: You can make this card's ATK and DEF become equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling during that damage calculation only.
"That ends my turn."
Cassie smiled seeing the magician.
"That's it?" Mokuba asked.
Riley: 4000
Kaiba: 4000
Kaiba 2nd Turn:
"I draw!" Kaiba called drawing, "And I activate Advanced Ritual Art!"
Advanced Ritual Art
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any 1 Ritual Monster. You must also send Normal Monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard whose total Levels equal the Level of that Ritual Monster.
"With this, I can summon any Ritual Monster, I desire as long as I send a Normal Monster." Kaiba told her.
Riley's eyes widened in shock hearing that.
"And I send level 4 Vorse Raider!" Kaiba said showing the monster, "So now I summon Paladin of White Dragon!"
At that saying a yellow armor soldier appeared riding a blue dragon.
Paladin of White Dragon

Dragon/Ritual
ATK: 1900
DEF: 1200
You can Ritual Summon this card with "White Dragon Ritual". At the start of the Damage Step, if this card attacks a face-down Defense Position monster: Destroy that face-down monster. You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand or Deck, but "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" cannot attack for the rest of this turn.
Riley nodded seeing that.
"And now once I sacrifice Paladin of White Dragon a second one appears!" Kaiba called as in Paladin's place was a second Blue-Eyes roaring.
Riley's eyes widened in shock seeing that. "Two Blue-Eyes White Dragons."
"And now I activate Spirit Dragon's ability!" Kaiba called as Spirit Dragon roared glowing, "I can tribute it to summon a Light Dragon Synchro monster from the Extra Deck under the condition it's destroyed at the end of the turn!"
"Nice, thanks to Azure-Eyes' ability it won't be destroyed by Spirit Dragon's effect." Mokuba grinned.
"Huh?" Cassie asked turning to him.
"Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon's special ability." Mokuba explained. "When Seto special summons it none of his dragon monsters can be targeted by card effects or destroyed by them until the end of the next turn. So since Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon's ability destroys the monster it summoned during the end phase, Azure-Eyes would still be protecting itself."
"Whoa. But if it's not effects then it wouldn't do anything against Film Magician." Cassie mentioned.
"What do you mean?" Mokuba asked.
"You shouldn't take monsters with no points lightly." Cassie explained.
Riley meanwhile was looking at the monsters nervously.
"Blue-Eyes cannot attack due to Paladin's ability this turn." Kaiba told her, "But I can do this! Azure-Eyes, Silver Lightning!"
Azure-Eyes roared firing a blast at Film Magician where Cassie grinned, "Big mistake!"
"Film Magician's special ability activates!" Riley called. "You can't destroy Film Magician in battle, but when a monster attacks Film Magician's attack and defense points become the same as your monster's attack points."
Film Magician: (ATK: 2500/DEF: 2500)
"See what I mean Mokuba?" Cassie grinned to him.
Mokuba's eyes widened in shock. The attack struck as a huge shockwave was sounded while Azure-Eyes shattered.
"Haha, yeah effects maybe but attacking is a different thing!" Cassie chuckled.
"Anything else?" Riley asked Kaiba.
"Your move." Kaiba said with a smirk.
"Film Magician only gets points during the battle." Cassie explained.
Film Magician: (ATK: 0/DEF: 0)
Riley 2nd Turn:
Riley drew her card and smiled. "I summon C/C Critical Eye."
C/C Critical Eye

Level 3
Fiend
ATK: 1400
DEF: 1000
If this card is used as a Material for a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon, the other Material(s) cannot be a monster you control.
"This is my key monster."
"Which means it's time for Riley to get real." Cassie grinned.
"I activate the spell Nightmare Critical Loop by sacrificing Film Magician." Riley called.
Nightmare Critical Loop

"A Fusion card?" Kaiba asked asked seeing that.
"That's right, one that takes a picture of your monster and fuses it with C/C Critical Eye." Riley explained.
A camera appeared snapping a picture of Blue-Eyes.
"Legendary white dragon! Dwell in this eye and give me your power! Fusion Summon! Come forth and wipe out everything with a blinding strike! Level 8 C/C/C Shining Halberd of Battle!" Riley chanted as a white halberd appeared.

If this card is Special Summoned: You can activate this effect; this turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect.
Kaiba, and Mokuba looked amazed seeing it.
It was shown to be Shrink, and Command Silencer.
Kaiba narrowed his eyes, "Very well, then come Blue-Eyes, and Deep-Eyes White Dragon!"
A third Blue-Eyes along with a stronger Blue-Eyes roaring.

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Target 1 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard; this card's ATK becomes equal to that monster's. If this card on the field is destroyed by a card effect: Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.
"Deep-Eyes?" Riley asked in confusion.
"When summoned it gains points equal to Blue-Eyes!" Kaiba called.
Deep-Eyes: (ATK: 0 + 3000 = 3000)
Riley smiled at that. "Shining Halberd attack the first Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"What?" Mokuba asked as it charged.
"The turn I summon Shining Halberd it can't be destroyed." Riley explained.
Blue-Eyes roared shattering from being attacked.
"Now, I'll sacrifice C/C/C Shining Halberd of Battle and revive C/C Critical Eye." Riley stated.
Halberd vanished as Critical Eye reappeared ready. Cassie then turned to Mokuba after she summoned him, "Mokuba come here a sec."
Mokuba blinked before following her.
"So what do you think of Riri?" Cassie smiled.
"I think she's really skilled, but why wouldn't she use her real deck during Battle City?" Mokuba asked only to pause. "Oh, and I think she's lucky to have someone who cares so much about her like you."
"Her lower monsters destroy themselves at the end of a turn, and her Extra Deck monsters can't attack." Cassie answered.
Mokuba's eyes widened before he nodded. "Wow, that has to be tough."
"Yeah, I had given her a Monarch Deck that I've earned a while back to compensate from that." Cassie explained to him.
"It sounds like a completely different playstyle, no wonder she didn't do very well." Mokuba admitted only to pause and put a hand to his ear. "Yeah, what is it Roland? Wait are you serious, seven of the spots already?"
Cassie blinked at that. Mokuba frowned. "I'll let Seto know."
"What's wrong?" Cassie asked.
"Just a little surprised, seven of the eight finalists have already obtained the six Locator Cards." Mokuba told her. "The finals are almost ready to start."
"Oh I need to hurry!" Cassie said hearing that.
"Probably a good idea." Mokuba agreed as they reached the field.
Then seen a blaster blasted Blue-Eyes defeating Kaiba. Mokuba stopped frozen in his tracks seeing that.
"Way to go Riri!" Cassie cheered jumping up.
Riley smiled turning only to gasp and lose her balance before wincing. Cassie ran catching her.
"Sorry Cassie... I lost my balance." Riley apologized.
"It's okay." Cassie smiled to her.
Riley smiled back only to suddenly pause and blush slightly.
"Seto, seven of the finalists have already qualified." Mokuba mentioned to him.
"Which means Cassandra better hurry." Kaiba said before saying, "I'm interested to see what you can do if your girlfriend can beat me. Be ready for Obelisk."
Cassie nodded before helping Riley as they left.
"Seto, what if she doesn't make it?" Mokuba asked him.
"She will." Kaiba told him, "If she managed against that Rare Hunter's cheating, and Mako's new cards then she can keep this up."
Mokuba just nodded thoughtfully only to pause and look down nervously. "I'll... go keep an eye on things and make sure nobody's cheating."
Noticing his expression Kaiba asked, "What did she talked to you about?"
Mokuba blushed. "It's nothing Seto."
"You don't blush about 'nothing'." Kaiba told him.
Mokuba blushed more. "You... remember how Riley and Cassie are..."
"In union? Yes I do." Kaiba answered, "Why?"
"Cassandra wants to... have a baby one day, and she asked for... help." Mokuba explained while looking down in complete embarrassment.
Kaiba didn't respond before Mokuba felt him patting his back.
"I... really should keep an eye on the tournament." Mokuba mentioned before quickly running off.
"Ahem." Kaiba cleared his throat.
Mokuba was already gone. The two were walking before they heard running, and turned just when Mokuba turned, and nearly bumped into them. Mokuba stopped just before crashing.
"Sorry, I need to make sure everyone's following the rules." he explained before rushing past them.
Cassie blinked, "He's fast."
"Yeah." Riley nodded in agreement.
Cassie told her, "Well I told him about what we agreed on, and he said he'll think about it."
Riley's eyes widened hearing that. "Oh... ok."
"Come on we gotta find me at least three more matches for me to do." Cassie told her.
Riley nodded as they walked off.
Ulrich362: Sorry for another short chapter but time's running out for Cassie.
bopdog111: But Cass will get there in time will she?
Ulrich362: Hopefully, we'll have to wait and see. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
