bopdog111: Mitsuru shown her, her unique Deck.
Ulrich362: Well, unique in that it's basically an ice version of Kaiba's... gee I wonder why?
bopdog111: Well right now we got another Duel up. One that involves Ken's own side of it.
Ulrich362: True, how will he do against the former intercontinental champion Bandit Keith?
bopdog111: Let's find out here.
Ulrich362: Agreed, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Persona 3 or Yu-Gi-Oh! All we own are the OCs.
"This kid serious?" Joey with the others stared on as Ken, and Bandit Keith walked to take the next duel.
"Amada is very serious." Mitsuru noted. "I have complete faith in him as well."
The platform was raised up where Ken was there readying his Deck shuffling over ready to give Bandit Keith a piece of his mind over before placing it in his Deck Zone glaring over to Bandit Keith.
"You have guts kid, but guts won't help you against a champion like me." Bandit Keith smirked. "Though since I'm a nice guy, you can have the first move."
"I may not be as skilled as you are..." Ken does admit that Bandit Keith is better then he is as the man has more experience then he does even since Ken put the game down after his mother died. But still his stare hardened over. "But... I won't let Duel Monsters be used as an engine for revenge. It's suppose to be for fun, and I won't let people like you twist it for your own gain!" He drew five cards for his starting hand after saying that.
"You're just a little punk who had no idea how the world works, but you'll learn soon enough." Keith smirked drawing his own five cards.
"Field Spell, Sogen activated." the Dueling Field changed over to the field Mitsuru, and Sid dueled at before.

Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
Ken 1st Turn:
"Okay, my move." Ken examines his hand checking it over. Getting a thought he nodded grabbing a card. "I will summon Beast Tamer - Koki from my hand!"
Raising up on the field was a blue haired boy having a ponytail among his ragged hair style while wearing village loinclothes that are brown, and yellow with magenta eyes while also having a spear with the point nicked at a few places but still capable of doing damage.
(Attack Position)
Beast Tamer Koki
LIGHT
Level 3
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1700
DEF: 1000
During your End Phase: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in Attack Position, then you can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower DARK Beast monster from your hand or GY in Defense Position. You can only activate this effect of "Beast Tamer Koki" per turn. Once per turn, if this card is targeted for an attack: You can shift the attack to 1 DARK Beast monster you control, and if you do, that monster you control gains ATK equal to this card's current ATK until the End of the Battle Phase.
Beast Tamer Koki: (ATK: 1700 + 200 = 1900/DEF: 1000 + 200 = 1200)
"What the, another new deck?" Bandit Keith questioned.
"If I was you, I'd pay more attention to what they can do." Ken discarded a card. "Which starts with One for One!"
One for One
Normal Spell Card
Send 1 monster from your hand to the GY; Special Summon 1 Level 1 monster from your hand or Deck.
"I send 1 monster from my hand to the graveyard to summon a monster that's Level 1 from my Hand or my Deck." Ken explained over as he searched his Deck finding the right card. "That means, I can summon Standing Canine!" Raising up beside Koki was a brown shiba-inu pup having a red bandana around his neck barking.
(Attack Position)
Standing Canine
DARK
Level 1
Beast/Normal
ATK: 800
DEF: 500
A canine so loyal to it's master it's willing to wait an eternity for them to return.
"You play a mutt against me? What a joke." Bandit Keith smirked.
Ken only sets 2 cards. "I place two cards down, and end my turn." Normal kids would be agitated, and insulted by people insulting the cards they have. But Ken isn't one of those kids.
Ken's Hand: 0/Field: Beast Tamer - Koki (Attack Position/ATK: 1900/DEF: 1200), Standing Canine (Attack Position), Two Set Cards
Bandit Keith 1st Turn:
"You think you're so smart." Keith frowned. "Let's see how you handle my Mechanicalchaser!" A multiarmed winged machine rose up readying.
(Attack Position)
Mechanicalchaser
DARK
Level 4
Machine/Normal
ATK: 1850
DEF: 800
A hunter that relentlessly pursues its target by order of the Machine King.
"Well that thing is creepy." Joey admitted over. "But he should've had a stronger monster cause the kid had him beat by 50 points..."
"Maybe but I wouldn't underestimate him Joey. He has something up his sleeve if he summoned a weaker monster." Yugi however didn't think so, knowing the skills, and strategies people can have with weaker monsters to turn the advantage around.
"Now I'll set one card and use my Machine Conversion Factory to give my machine 300 more attack and defense points!"
(Equipped to Mechanicalchaser)
Machine Conversion Factory
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to a Machine monster. It gains 300 ATK/DEF.
Mechanicalchaser: (Equipped with Machine Conversion Factory/ATK: 1850 + 300 = 2150/DEF: 800 + 300 = 1100)
"Now attack that mutt!"
Mechanicalchaser readied it's weaponry charging at Standing Canine who growled over. Ken moved activating his face-down, "I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Standing Loyalty!"
Standing Loyalty
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 "Beast Tamer" monster you control: Your opponent cannot target other monsters you control for attacks, except the targeted monster. If this Set card is destroyed, and sent to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 "Beast Tamer" monster, or 1 DARK Beast Normal Monster from your Deck. You can only activate 1 effect of "Standing Loyalty" per turn.
"So instead of Standing Canine, your attack now has to be Koki!" Koki moved in front of Standing Canine readying his spear blocking an overhead slash with his spear struggling against the machine's power.
"Fine, I'll just destroy him instead." Keith smirked.
Koki struggled over as Mechanicalchaser moved one sword arm to swipe only for Ken to counter. "Now Koki's special ability activates! Whenever he's targeted for an attack, it's now where Standing Canine takes it instead!" The sword arm was grabbed by Standing Canine with it's jaws struggling over before Mechanicalchaser pushed them two back with Koki nodding over to Standing Canine who gave an understanding bark growling at the machine who sounded annoyed from it's shifting targets first to the canine, then to the kid, and now back to the canine for some frustrating target practice.
"This is getting old kid, you can't keep changing who gets destroyed every single turn." Keith told him in annoyance.
"Well there is one difference." Ken grinned over to him as Mechanicalchaser charges at Standing Canine who growled powering up. "Standing Canine gains Koki's power until end of turn!" Standing Canine howled loud as it powered up.
Standing Canine: (ATK: 800 + 1900 = 2700)
Mechanicalchaser quickly sensing the danger tried to back off but Standing Canine armed with a dagger charged in slashing through Mechanicalchaser. Bandit Keith's eyes widened in shock as Mechanicalchaser was destroyed from the attack. "Why you punk, you'll regret that!"
(Bandit Keith: 3450/Hand: 3)
"Try saying that when you actually got something I should worry over." Ken said back to him.
Bandit Keith glared at Ken as he had no choice but to end his turn.
Standing Canine: (ATK: 2700 - 1900 = 800)
Standing Canine headed back to Koki who smiled knelling down, and rubbing his head who happily whined licking his hand.
"Now that's what I call man's best friend." Joey grinned.

Ken: 4000

Ken 2nd Turn:
"Is... is the boss going to lose?" Sid asked nervously from this seeing Ken had outsmarted Bandit Keith, and is now worrying that this kid will actually defeat him.
"No way, there's no way some kid can beat him." a short almost skeletal looking boy answered.
Ken drew checking over before he looked to Koki, and Standing Canine who turned staring at him before Ken smiled. "I banish both Koki, and Standing Canine!" The two smiled before they jumped together entering a Fusion Vortex.
"Huh, wait you need a Polymerization card to Fusion Summon." Yugi pointed out.
"So you can't beat me fair and square so you decide to cheat?" Keith questioned. "I should have expected that from a punk brat like you."
"This Fusion Monster doesn't need Polymerization to be summoned. All I have to do is banish the monsters, I control." Ken however pointed out that his next monster has a different way to be Fusion Summoned rather then using Polymerization.
"What?" Bandit Keith questioned in shock.
"So now come out! Beast Tamer - Hope!"
Lowering down was a blonde haired boy wearing a spellcaster outfit that's brown, and green while holding a sapphire gem staff with red boots. Beside him was a blonde shiba-inu with red eyes barking.
(Attack Position)
Beast Tamer - Hope

During your Standby Phase, you can Tribute this card: All monsters you control gain 1000 ATK until the End Phase. You can only activate this effect of "Beast Tamer - Hope" per turn.
"That monster isn't bad but I'll just destroy it on my next turn." Keith told Ken.
"Well right now, we have some things to go over." While Ken said this Sogen's effect powered up Hope.
Beast Tamer - Hope: (Attribute: LIGHT & DARK/ATK: 2200 + 200 = 2400/DEF: 1000 + 200 = 1200)
"If I don't have another monster, Hope allows me to summon a Beast Tamer or 1 DARK Beast Normal Monster from my hand, or that had been banished in Attack Position." Ken explained over the effect as it powered up while Ken readied a card in his hand.
"Wait, but didn't he just banish those two monsters he used to summon that thing?" Sid questioned in shock.
Ken soon placed down the card he had drawn. "I summon Beast Tamer - Mono!"
A ditch opened before raising up was a teenage girl with coal black hair with a red streak in it. She has a claw scar on her left cheek with the same loincloth Koki wore except it only has one strap over her shoulder to keep it up with blue eyes while barefooted. She also has a long stick acting as a staff readying.
(Attack Position)

Beast Tamer - Mono: (ATK: 2000 + 200 = 2200/DEF: 1400 + 200 = 1600)
Bandit Keith's eyes widened in shock seeing that.
"And with Mono's ability Standing Canine returns!" Ken places his banished monster as it rose again letting out a howl.
Standing Canine: (Attack Position)
"Battle! Hope attack him directly!" Hope charges an attack over before firing a light orb over at Bandit Keith.
Bandit Keith's eyes widened as he was hit by the orb.
(Bandit Keith: 1150/Hand: 3)
"And now Mono!" Momo readied over charging in rapidly spinning her staff, and then swung in at Bandit Keith.
Bandit Keith just widened his eyes as he was struck and he lost all his life points.
Ken: 4000
Hand: 0

Hand: 3

Ken wins!
"Well he won..." Tristan said a little impressed over seeing a kid defeated someone like Bandit Keith.
"It seems I chose the right teacher." Mitsuru chuckled. "That was very impressive Amada."
Ken smiled over as they lowered down while Bandit Keith looks greatly frustrated.
"Uh, boss-"
SMACK!
They all looked seeing Sid tried to say something only for Bandit Keith to smack him down to the ground.
"Hey, what the hell was that for?" Joey questioned glaring at Bandit Keith.
"For his failure, and now for not informing me of you all having new Decks, and giving me a weak one." Bandit Keith answered over coldly not turning over. "He really done a big clusterfuck this time."
"But boss... you picked out that deck yourself." the skeletal boy pointed out nervously. "And... that kid just got lucky that's all."
"Idiot, Sid was the one that picked that Deck." the other guy told the skeletal boy. "Would the boss really pick such a weak Deck?"
"Exactly my point, and unless you want to be next Bonz, remember right." Bandit Keith warned him.
Bonz shuddered but didn't say anything else.
"Someone who refuses to accept responsibility has no right to be leading anyone." Mitsuru stated calmly.
"Well I guess it's a good thing, I won't be leading this idiot anymore." Bandit Keith glared over at Sid. "I don't remember why I hired you, your fired, and your out of Duelist Kingdom. Get out of my sight you fucking moron!"
"Wait a second, he still has a Star Chip so he isn't out of the tournament yet." Yugi pointed out.
"Not anymore all of his are lost." Bandit Keith pointed out himself as they remembered although they bet one he gave Mitsuru all of Sid's Star Chips for his failure. "Now unless you got anything else pointless to say stop butting in, and let this loser get lost!"
"You are a despicable human being." Aigis frowned.
"Quiet, someone like you has no right to judge me." Bandit Keith snapped before turning, and to the shock of everyone pointed a pistol at Sid. "Now last chance, get lost!"
Sid's eyes widened in fear before he turned and ran off fearfully.
"All he had to do was do that." Bandit Keith spat on the ground putting his pistol up.
"You're sick!" Tea told him despite hiding behind Joey.
"Shut up."
Ken glared at him. "I thought you were a decent duelist! But now you take out your failures on others!? What kind of person did you become!?"
"Quiet, a brat like you doesn't understand the real world! No matter what I will make Pegasus pay for what he done!" Bandit Keith snapped over at him.
"I'm afraid that won't be necessary." a voice spoke from behind as they turned seeing a black man walking over wearing a purple robe while having a red mask on with only his mouth shown. "I had just received some scared says that someone is carrying a gun. And I'd can't say I expect it to be you Bandit Keith."
"Who the heck are you supposed to be?" Keith questioned seeing the man.
"One of Pegasus' Eliminators." the man explained over to him. "I had just finished a Duelist when someone ran up, and told me of someone threatening someone else with a gun. So of course, I have to see what the hell is going on. And who did I find, the weak duelist that Pegasus had proven even a child can defeat."
"What was that?" Keith questioned drawing his gun and aiming it at the Eliminator.
"I'll give you one chance to get that gun out of my face." the Eliminator's voice didn't change, and they can't see his expression from the mask.
"How about this, I give you one chance to take me to Pegasus where he'll hand over the prize money or I'll put a bullet in your brain." Keith threatened.
"I got a better idea how about I hurt you, and take you to Pegasus where he will punish you?"
Keith frowned and fired a shot at the Eliminator. The moment the shot was fired something shifted where a quarter-second later the Eliminator was in front of Bandit Keith, and the man suddenly felt exploding pain in his left leg.
"AAAAARRGH!" Bandit Keith cried collapsing to the ground in pain.
"I've warned you to get that gun out of my face. And you ended up taking the shot." the Eliminator stated before he sighed. "This is why I hate dealing with people." Then he looked to Bonz, and the other man. "If you two have somewhere else you need to be, then leave. You don't have to deal with him anymore."
They looked scared before running off in fear.
"That... what just happened?" Tristan asked in confusion.
"It's a lot to explain so I won't bother." the Eliminator takes Bandit Keith's shoulder before looking at them. "Just know you won't see him like this again." Then there enveloped in dark power before disappearing.
Mitsuru frowned hearing that. "Yamagishi, is he still on the island?"
Fuuka closed her eyes scanning over with her ability before nodding. "Yes Bandit Keith is still on the island inside the castle."
Mitsuru nodded though she was frowning a bit before turning to Yugi and Joey. "I believe our best option would be to split up so that at least one of us can reach the castle."
"Splitting up is a bad idea though..." Yugi trailed off from it. "Some of us will get picked off if we spilt."
"Will you all be able to get enough Star Chips if you stay together though?" Minako asked him. "Don't you have to help you Grandpa?"
"Well yeah..."
"Then wouldn't it be a good idea to split up so you can get as many Star Chips as possible between the three of you?" Minako pointed out.
"Come on Yuge, they have there own thing we have ours." Joey assured over to Yugi with a grin. "We need to up our game after seeing what they can do."
Yugi stared on before he looked down, and then turned with a smile. "Then at least try to be careful."
"Of course, and we may meet up again on the island." Mitsuru nodded calmly offering a hand.
Yugi takes her hand shaking it with a smile.
Meanwhile in Pegasus's castle...
Bandit Keith slumped as the Eliminator voiced over. "Brought someone over sir." The injured man slowly moved seeing someone stepping in front of him.
"Who's there?" Keith questioned.
He looked up seeing the face of a smirking Pegasus.
"Pegasus, just the man I wanted to see." Keith smirked aiming the gun at him. "You're going to hand over the tournament prize money to me, got it?"
"You, and what gun without ammunition?" Pegasus asked him showing a mag with bullets which Bandit Keith looked seeing the mag in his gun is gone.
"Did you call that kid here to humiliate me again? Is this some kind of sick joke to you?" Keith questioned.
"Oh trust me Keith the feeling of dislike is mutual." Pegasus stated as he walked around Bandit Keith who slowly gets on his knees while wincing from his leg hurting. "However, I have a deal that would benefit us both if you will care to listen." He handed the magazine to the Eliminator who bowed stepping away to give them some space.
"What kind of deal?" Keith questioned.
"You will be one of my Eliminators. You are here to make me regret having Sam proven he can beat you, and take the money even if your not a contestant." Pegasus answered over to him. "So to benefit us should you agree to be an Eliminator, and preform some tasks I need you for, I will duel you again, and if you win you will receive the Prize Money, and treat me however you like. I win however, and your soul will be mine."
"Right, and why exactly should I believe a word out of your mouth?" Keith questioned before wincing in pain again.
"Observe." Pegasus raised a card before Bandit Keith felt something, and suddenly felt his leg relieved of the pain.
"What the hell!?" he questioned as he slowly got up. "Alright Pegasus, I'm listening."
Pegasus smirked over from this seeing he now as Keith's attention before starting to discuss things over with him.
bopdog111: A little bit short but we both dislike Bandit Keith, and made him a bit more important to have.
Ulrich362: Assuming we can pull it off, though next up a bit of revenge duel? Well... revenge for actions outside of a duel that is.
bopdog111: For nearly ruining Exodia.
Ulrich362: True, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
