Disclaimer: I do not own ZEXAL

Hi! Just finished writing a story, so I decided to write another one! En-joy! *salutes*

card names that are bold, are ones I made up.

Dear Diary,

Hello. My name is Samantha Amanda Cunningham. Although, peaple call me Sam. I have almost waist-legnth brown hair. I also have round brown eyes. I wear the boys school uniform (white shirt with red triming and red tie), except, I wear blue sweats instead. I will NOT wear jeans! I also wear the boys gym clothes. Why? Well, I'm a tomboy, I don't like skirts and, I just don't really like the colour pink. My deck is the Xyz symphony deck. Minus the number. Plus the cards Unity, Yo-Jo friendship, Judgement of the Pharoah. And, the field spell card Arabian World. Now, enough of stuff about me, let's get onto the events of today!

I slept over at Yuma's place the other night. We're good friends. Plus, he lets me. I was sleeping in his bed while he slept in his hammock in the attic. Hey! That rhymes! Anyways, I decided to wake Yuma up. We where going to be late for school! I climbed up his rope that leads up to his attic. The rope has these big knots in it that you can step on. Did I mention that I'm afraid of heights? Well, It's only really a problem when I can't see how high I'm going. When I climbed up the rope, I saw Yuma sleeping, again!

"YU-MA!" I yelled. Normally, I don't yell. But, this was one of the rare moments when I do.

"GYAAAAAAH!" Yuma yelled as he fell out of his hammock.

I giggled, He can be pretty funny sometimes! "Good morning sleepy-head!" I said cheerfully.

"What time is it?" Yuma asked, rubbing his head.

"It's 8: 00 AM, Yuma." I said. We both stared at each other for a minute. Then reality came back to us.

"WHERE GOING TO BE LATE!" We both yelled. We then ran down the rope ladder.

"Do you mind?" Yuma asked, I knew what he wanted. Privacy.

"Ok." I said, nodding. I then stepped out of his room, closing the door behind me.

5 Minutes later!

"Kari, why didn't you wake us up?" Yuma asked his older sister, for the both of us.

"You know I'm always busy in the morning with my work and since you're in middle school you should wake yourselves up." She replied in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Well, you could have STILL waken us up!" I angrily said. I hate it when she's right. Wait, did I just say that!?

Yuma made an ugly yet, funny face at Kari behind her back. Then we ran out of the house.

"Bye Haru!" I sang to Yuma's grandma.

"Bye, Samantha!" She replied, using my full name.

"Why can't she just call me Sam" I muttered under my breath. Samantha's just a, girly name in my opinion. I decided to wait at the side-walk in front of Yuma's house for Yuma. Just to be nice.

"Bye, Grandma. I have to go to school!" Yuma said as he was putting on his shoes.

"Where else would you be going Yuma? The zoo?" I said jokingly.

Yuma just glared at me as he ran past his grandma. forgetting to do some thing.

"What about my goodbye kiss Yuma?" She asked.

"No time grandma! I'm going to be late for school!' He said as he stopped, right in front of his grandma.

He was about to leave when. Haru opened her eyes in a flash of anger and, lifted up Yuma by the collar of his shirt with the end of her broom. Lifting him off the ground. Man, she's strong!

"Either you give me a goodbye kiss or there will be trouble." She threatened. I actually stepped back a bit, frightened.

"My name is Yuma Tsukumo. And this is my life." He said to no one in particular. He then kissed his Grandma on the cheek.

Me and Yuma where running to school. He leaped over a Litter bot. While I just Judo threw one. I take Judo on thursday night. Sorry, I forgot to tell you that. We then picked up the pace and, continued to school.

"Sorry!" We shouted back.

"Hey, Yuma! Sam!" Bronk said as he rode up to us on his duel board. "Hey! How's 'bout we race to school?" He asked us.

"What do you think, Sam?" Yuma asked me.

"Maestroke?" I said. Maestroke is the symphony Djiin. He's my Duel Monster Spirit partner and, my parental guardian since my dad's away on a business trip. He's also my best friend, next to Yuma. And, my second crush. AAH! WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT?! You proabaly now think I'm wierd. No matter.

Anyways, Maestroke appeared beside me. Our convos when others are around are usually like the ones of Yugi and, Yami.

"Yes?" He asked me.

"Bronk asked me and Yuma if we want to race to school," I thought to Maestroke, "What do you think we should do?"

Maestroke grinned, I LOVE it when he does that. "Sure, It'll be fun! Besides, you won't be late for school, right?" He so gets me now.

I nodded to him and, he went back to my extra deck.

"Sam?" Yuma asked me.

"Sure! Why not. It'll be fun!" I replied.

"Ok!" Yuma and Bronk both said. They than ran off, leaving me behind.

"Hey!" I yelled as I ran after them.

The race wasn't really eventful. Well, there was this part when a Litter bot picked up Yuma's deck, saying that they where trash. But, that's a story for another time. ;)

P.A: Second period Gym will now begin. (hey, another rhyme!)

"Twenty! Jump over this many vault boxes and you'll set the new school record" Bronk said.

"That record is about to be broken! Because I'm feeling the flow!" Yuma said.

Maestroke appeared beside me. We smiled. Maybe, just maybe. Yuma'll make it this time.

"AAAAAAH!" He said as he attempted the jump. Key word, attempted.

*CRASH!*

That, my friend. Was the sound of Yuma falling. Me and Maestroke winced.

'I'll go now...' Maestroke said as he went back into my extra deck.

I glared at the spot he was at. Then, went to help Yuma. "You ok?" I asked him when I got to him.

"Yeah." Came his muffled answer. Hopefully, the next class won't be like this...

We walked into our separate change rooms.

Swim meet!

"Hey, Tori! Can you braid my hair?" I said as I walked up to Tori. She's a Kid in mine and Yuma's class. She has green hair. And, she always has a bun in her hair tied with a red ribbon.

"Sure! Sam." She said.

"So, what's the dare Yuma's doing now?" I asked her as she braided my hair. I ask because I care. And, I just wanted to know if a should laugh when he failed.

"He has to do a WHOLE lap holding his breath under water. There's now WAY he'll make it!" ... Bronk answered my question for me.

"Are you done yet, Tori?" I asked Tori, ignoring Bronk.

"Almost... Just about... Done!" Tori replied. "Do you like it?"

"Oh, darling, I LOVE IT!" I joked, talking like one of those stuck up rich french fashion models. But, she knew that I liked it. And, I was just joking around.

"Good to know!" Tori said, "Hey, there goes Yuma!"

Yuma just started his lap.

"GO YUMA!" Me and Tori cheered together. We looked at each other and, smiled. We're sisters!

I saw some bubbles. So, I knew Yuma failed yet. Another dare. He then rose to the surface. He must have swallowed some of the pool water. Since his face was green.

I jumped in with Tori. We had to get Yuma, right?

All of the boys laughed as Yuma coughed up pool water. Including Bronk. And, he was supposed to be our friend!

I sighed. "Boys." I mumbled. This was going to be a LONG day.

"Womp wawompawomp noun wompwomp womp..." Or, at least. That's what I heard.

Since I couldn't understand what Miss what's-her-face, was saying. I decided to draw. I just LOVE to draw! Almost as much as I love to duel.

"Maestroke?" I asked, I just LOVE to draw him!

"Yes?" He replied.

'Hey, can I draw you?' I thought/said to him. I don't want others to think I'm weird!

"Again?" He said. He chuckled and, then said, "Ok, what pose do you want me in?"

"Hmmm." I replied, "Hows 'bout you stand still and hold your spear/conductor's baton across your body facing up?" I asked, "Can you smile this time?"

"Ok." He replied, "Like this?" He asked as he did just what I wanted.

'Yeah yeah.' I replied, 'And, maybe you can lift your head up and, tilt it to the left a bit." I suggested.

"Ok." He said, obeying.

I was just about to start drawing him when. Yuma got up and shouted.

"WITH IT. I FEEL THE FLOW!" He shouted.

"GYEAH!" I said, scared.

"Ahem." Miss whats-her-face said. She was talking to me and Yuma.

"Sorry." We both replied.

Duel time!

"I feel the flow most when I'm in Duel period." Yuma said. I was walking beside him. While, Tori was behind us.

"Yeah! And I free the Spirits* most when its Duel period, and Maestroke is out." I said. 'Free the Spirits' Is kinda my motto. Just like 'Feel the flow is Yuma's.

Just after I said that, Maestroke appeared. Only me and Yuma can see him. It's probably because he has the empore's key. I have the Queen's key. It looks like Yuma's, except the colours a different on the key. Insted of yellow, its blue. Insted of a green gem, I have a baria crystal in mine. Dunno what 'baria' is but, ah. Nevermind. Now, where was I?

Oh! Yeah,

"Hello, Yuma." Maestroke said to Yuma, making him jump. "You should probably put on your D-Gazers."

"Right." Yuma replied. "Duel Gazer, set!" He said.

"D-Gazer tattoo, activate!" I said. A D-Gazer tattoo is like a D-Gazer and a Tattoo combined. Mine is a sky blue angel wing. The type that go up. It's small and, My left eye turns a royal blue colour (did I mention that I just LOVE the colour blue?).

I turn to face Yuma and, Tori. "You guys ready?" I asked.

Right after I said that. Maestroke appeared in front of me, upside down. "Hello." He calmly said.

I was a bit shocked. But, I just turned around, my eyes closed. And, said. "Are we going or, what?" Then I started walking.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Yuma and Tori said together. (they're SO into each other!)

We where walking around when Yuma said. "Who to win against today?"

Then Tori said. "You mean, who to LOSE to today?"

Insert epic anime fall.

"What's that supposed to mean? I mean, ok. I lost 20 straight. But, so what? I'll win a duel someday!" Yuma said angrily.

I just rubbed his back and, whispered into his ear. "Don't worry, she's just saying that because she's jealous. Plus, SHE'S not a duelist."

Yuma smiled at that. "Thanks, Sam." He said.

"Does anyone know where Tori is?" Maestroke asked us. Oh, I forgot he was there (Maestroke just saw me write that. He's angry).

"Sam! Yuma! Look!" She said. She was pointing at some one.

"It's Bronk." Maestroke said. "And, it seems he's dueling the class bully."

Me and Yuma gasped. Oh, no! not him! Not Shark! Me and Yuma ran up the stairs. With Tori behind us.

"Hey, guys! Wait up!" She whined.

"I got you now, Bronk. See since I've got two monsters on the field and they both have the same level I can use them to summon an Xyz monster. " Shark said.

"So watch as I overlay my 'Skull Kraken' and 'Big Jaws' to do just that. Watch as I unleash a terrible land and sea. Watch as I summon 'Aero shark'."

We watched as Big Jaws appeared. "Man, that's one BIG shark." I said.

"Wow! You know why an Xyz summon is so cool, Tori, Sam? 'Cause the monsters used stick around as overlay units and activates their new buddy's special power. It's all about team work. I betcha those litter-bots wouldn't call my cards trash if I had an Xyz monster" Yuma said.

"Yeah, they're pretty cool." I replied.

"And, I'm the coolest one in your deck. Right, Sam?" Maestroke gloated.

'Yeah. Sure. Melomlody can use her overlay units to attack twice." I said, making Maestroke anime fall. We turened back to the duel...

"Now, Aero Shark, take a bit into that chump!" Commanded Shark

Bronk yelled as he fell down. Me and Maestroke winced. "Now, that has to hurt." We said together.

Shark: 4000 LPS Bronk: 0 LPS

Shark is the winner.

Tori and Yuma took off their Duel Gazer's

"D-Gazer tattoo, de-activate." I whispered. At my command, it disappeared.

"Oh, Bronk." Yuma said.

We watched as Shark approached Bronk.

"Thanks for the duel. And, thanks for this!" He said as he reached down and, took... Bronk's deck!

"What do you think you're doing!?" I yelled at him. I was about to go and Judo throw him... But, Maestroke grabbed me. I blushed and, I swear. I think I saw HIM blush!

"Bronk's deck..." Yuma said. "Not so fast!" He said as Him and Tori ran over.

"Um..." I said.

"Oh, right..." Maestroke said. He let me go and, we ran to Tori and, Bronk.

"Huh, who are you?" asked Shark.

Yuma answered "My name is Yuma and I'm Bronk's good friend"

"Buzz off or don't you know who you're messing with?" said one of the goons.

Of course! Everybody knows the school bully.

"Of course. Everybody knows the school bully." Yuma said, voicing my thoughts.

"Hehe, I'm no bully. You see Bronk and I, we had an arrangement" Shark said all evilly (is that a word?).

I asked. "What?"

"It went like this, whoever won got the other player's duel deck" Shark answered.

"Is that true?" Me and Yuma said.

"It is. But I had to do it; he challenged me, called me a big chicken" Bronk answered.

I growled. "Now, THAT'S low." I said.

"Fine then, if you're going to challenge my friend, then I'm gonna challenge you." Yuma said.

"I was going to say that but, ok." I said.

"What? You're outta your mind! You're not even close as being in the same league as Shark" said Goon a.

"Yeah, you're not even in the same sport" said Goon b.

"Is that a no?Then, I guess your to CHICKEN to face Yuma!" I said.

Shark stepped forward "Chicken?! You know what happened to the last person who called me chicken?"

"Yuma..." I said as I hid behind him.

"Some thing, bad?" Yuma said. Covering for me. (he's so sweet!)

"I don't know because it's never happened before!" Shark shouted, irritated. Maestroke had to hold me back. So, I wouldn't hit shark.

Yuma shot back. "Oh, well then let this be the first!"

"Yeah!" I said, backing him up.

"Big talk. Alright Yuma, say that we did duel, you want Bronk's deck back but what's in it for me?" asked Shark as he held out Bronk's deck.

(must. resist. urge. to. grab. deck.)

Yuma looked down trying to think of something, "Good question, hadn't thought of that."

I saw what he was looking at. My eyes widened. "Oh, no!" I whispered.

Before I could stop him, Shark grabbed Yuma's key, ripping it from the cord around Yuma's neck.

"Hey! That's mine!" said Yuma.

He smirked, "Yuma it's rather this or Sam's key." I'm a famous female duelist. Ranked 2nd in the school. I dueled him before. We have mixed feelings for each other.

"Not in a million years, chicken!" I shot back at him.

Shark growled at me (how rude!). Then, it seemed that he'd be happy for Yuma's key instead.

"My, this certainly seems important to you, now doesn't it?" Shark said, toying with Yuma.

I growled (my, there seems to be A LOT of that going on today.). Don't mess with me or Yuma.

"Settle down, since it means that much to you I'll give it back and duel you for It." Shark said. So, he WAS going to duel Yuma.

"I have a feeling that, Shark is going to do something bad." Maestroke whispered to me.

Shark dropped it, "whoops, I dropped it, hope nothing bad happens to it down there, say like this!" He then stomped on it breaking it in two.

My eyes widened. Along with Bronk and Tori's. If that was MY key...

"YOU JERK!" I yelled at Shark. Maestroke finally let go of me. Well, he was holding my arm.

I knelt beside Yuma and, rubbed his back. "It's ok Yuma." I said, "It's ok." I picked up the main piece and, handed it back to Yuma.

"Why did you do that?" yelled Yuma in anguish.

"The same reason I'm doing this, guess you're right after all…" We all widened our eyes staring at the other piece get kicked far away. "…I am a bully"

Yuma and I glared at Shark who then said "and since we can't duel for that anymore, you don't get this" waving Bronk's deck around.

"That's it!" yelled Yuma as he stood up "you're toast!"

I was about to kick Shark but, Maestroke held me back.

Tori and Bronk held Yuma back. "Stop it, Yuma!" They yelled. Keeping him back.

"You don't give up, do ya?" said Shark. I want to smack him so hard. "Alright if you still want to duel me, guess we could make some arrangement out. If you beat me, I'll give back this deck but if I win Yuma, I get your deck!"

Before I could say anything, Yuma agreed.

'Oh, no.' I thought.

"I think we should all go home now, it's getting late…" Bronk said.

Me and Yuma walked home together, seeing as where neighbors (I'm on his right. I wanted the house on the left but, it is taking. Grrr.)

"It's ok. Just, don't think about it." I said to Yuma, rubbing his back.

"Yeah, I guess your right." Yuma said, wiping away tears. "Let's get home, it's kinda late." Yuma said.

I was In my bed, sleeping (what else?). When, I woke up. And, My eyes turned blue and, they kinda looked zoned out a bit (think about how Rio gets visions from the Barian world).

"What the..." I whispered. Maestroke back in my extra deck.

Yuma's dream.

Gate: Whoever can open this door, will gain great new power but know that with such a reward, comes great risk. Have you the courage to unlock this power?

With a blue being looking over me. "So, She'll also help me in my mission..." He said, before he disappeared.

Gym time!

I jumped 6 boxes, before running over to Yuma and, Tori.

"Hey Yuma, you gonna try to leap those twenty blocks again?" asked Tori.

Yuma looked at his half-key and gripped it. He looked back at us, "Not today."

"Huh? Oh…" asked Tori surprised.

Swimming!

"Yuma! Want to try that underwater lap again?" said some dude (that we'll call Bob).

Yuma waved his arm "not really." I sighed from my spot beside Tori in the pool.

Tori then splashed Yuma in the face with water. "Hey, what's wrong with you today?"

"I don't know, Tori. I guess that I'm not feeling the flow. Ever since Shark broke my key, things just haven't been the same" said Yuma looking down.

Tori and I sat on opposite sides of Yuma. I put my head on his shoulder and, rubbed his back.

"Yuma." Tori said.

The three of us started walking home in silence.

"Yuma!" We turned around to see Bronk.

"Huh?" Tori said.

"Bronk?" I asked.

"What's up?" said Yuma.

Bronk asked "Yuma, this duel with Shark, are you doing it?"

Yuma looked elsewhere "well, uh". Was he giving up? I shook my head, no, Yuma doesn't just give up.

Bronk said "Well, don't go!" We all turned to him.

"You can't win, Yuma." Well that's nice. Have some faith! I believe in Yuma, he will win.

"What do you mean by that?" said Yuma annoyed.

Bronk stepped a bit closer "I mean Shark made it all the way to the duel nationals last year!"

He looked down and, said "Look, thanks for trying and all but I'm over this, really."

"But it's not just about you now." Said Yuma

"Huh?" asked Bronk confused.

"It's about doing what's right; Sharks gotta learn he can't push people around like this. And I'm going to be the one to teach him" I nodded at Yuma.

"Yeah." I said.

Yuma gripped his half-key, "so what if he made it to the nationals? One day, I'm gonna make it there too!" then pointed to Bronk.

Tori smiled as well and agreed.

"Uhh, whatever. Here" said Bronk as he threw something to Yuma. I looked closer and saw…the other half of the key!

Yuma caught it while Tori and I stared at it. "Whoa! How did you find this?"

"Duh! I went looking for it! Later!" said Bronk as he rode away, I looked at Yuma. He seemed happy.

It was the big day, duel day. I wore my outfit. It consist of. A blue t-shirt under a long, Purple hoodie. Also ha s holes in the sleeves for the thumbs to go through. wear black yoga pants. I also wear blue/white high tops.

My duel belt. Looks like Yuma's but, is a silver colour. (same set up of gear also). My duel case well. The design is the same as Yugi's. But, is golden-yellow. It is the leather model, if you didn't figure it out.

I was walking to where Yuma and Shark were supposed to duel. With Yuma.

Yuma and I were now facing Shark with Tori and Bronk.

Shark said "I can't believe it, you actually showed. Hope you said your goodbyes, Yuma. 'Cause all your cards are about to be mine!"

Yuma answered "Sorry, but the only thing you're going to be getting is a good 'ole fashioned butt-kicking"

Shark sneered "And why's that?"

Yuma yelled out while throwing his duel gazer on with his duel disk "'Cause I'm feeling the flow! Duel disk go! Duel gazer, let's roll."

I looked around. Odd, usually, when there is a duel. Maeatroke is here. I shrugged. I then put on my d-gazer. It looks like Anna Kaboom's. Or, at least, that's what Tori says. But, with a more feathery look to it. The main part is light blue. Sorta outer trimming part on bottom is royal blue. Top outer trimming part is navy blue.

"Maestroke..." I whispered. Nothing.

"Can I continue?" Yuma asked, annoyed.

"Right, sorry. Continue." I replied.

Yuma looked at me for a second. With a worried loke on his face. He must have noticed Maestroke wasn't there, too.

He then continued.

Yuma finished "Duel interface set"

Augmented reality vision link established.

"Let's duel!"

"Yay, Yuma! Win this!" cheered Tori.

"Yeah, go Yuma..." I mumbled. Tori Looked at me worriedly.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"It's nothing," I lied, "Just, Maestroke is usually here when there is a duel..." I trailed off. (Did I forget to mention this? Tori, Bronk and, well. Almost everybody I hang out with/ students at school. Know 'bout Maestroke).

"Oh." She sadly said.

After that, we turned back to the duel.

Yuma had just summoned Zubaba Knight. Zubaba's attack points are, 1600. And, it's level is 3.

Yuma then stated, "You're going down Shark! 'Course since I went first, I'm not allowed to attack this turn. So go ahead, your move!"

Who makes these rules?

Shark then chuckled. "You got that right, and with it I intend to ground that knight. It's my draw!" He looked at his hand, "I summon forth 'Big Jaws'."

Big Jaws has 1800 attack points. It's level is 3. I wonder what Shark is up to?

Yuma stepped backwards, "Man, 1800 attack points!" Yes. So, if Shark attacks... He'll be taking 300 points of damage. That means, Yuma'll have 3700 Life Points left. Just to let you know. I'm not a master at math.

"Aw, great, so it means I'm losing two hundred life points!" Yuma said. Wait, now. 8 - 6 = ... oops. Told ya.

"Next time play your weak monster in defense mode. Although it really wouldn't have mattered this time 'cause of this…" said Shark as he showed us his spell card.

"Aqua Jet..." I whispered.

"…the spell card, 'Aqua jet'. Now until the end of this turn, my 'Big Jaws' gains one thousand attack points!"

Big Jaws: Attack 2800

"There it is!" said Goon one. Let's call him, Nick.

"Yep, Sharks super spell combo!" said Goon two. Let's call him, Mick.

"Now, 'Big Jaws' it's feeding time! Attack!" ordered Shark. 'Zubaba Knight' was then destroyed as well as some life points.

Shark. Life Points: 4000 Yuma Life Points: 2800

"Ah, my life points!" Yuma said. Not good! At this rate, Yuma'll loose! Wait, I need to have faith in my friend.

"That's what you think." Said, some girl.

My eyes widened. "Wha-' I whispered. I looked around, nothing. 'Maybe I'm just hearing things..." I thought.

I turned back to the duel.

Yuma had Just summoned Gagaga Magician. Gagaga has 1500 attack points. It's level is 4. I like Gagaga. But, not as much as Dark Magician or Mahad. The later is, not a card.

Shark then sneered "You're summoning him in attack mode, with just fifteen hundred attack points? You just don't listen, do ya?"

"How dare you!" I said. Shark just glared at me. I shrunked back. Nervous.

"Tisk, tisk, tisk." The voice said again.

"Where are you?" I whispered. Nothing but silence.

"Oh I sure do…" then Yuma showed us a spell card, "…that's why I'm equipping 'Gagaga' with this, 'Wonder wand'. Now my magician gains five hundred attack points!"

Gagaga Magician: 2000 atack points.

The said wand appeared, Gagaga gripped it.

"You said play weak monsters in defense mode, well, he's no weak monster!"

"Well done Yuma!" I said as I fist pumped the air.

Tori jumped up "all right! Now 'Gagaga' is stronger than 'Big Jaws'!" She said.

"It seems like Yuma might win this." I turned around. Facing the source of the voice. It was Maestroke!

"Where were you?" I asked, worriedly.

Maestroke hugged me, rubbing my back. "I'm sorry. Something hold me back from coming to you." He then let go of me. "Dark Fairy, just who are you?" He whispered. He had a stern look. Odd, he never looks like that anymore.

Yuma then pointed to Shark, "Now go, mighty magician! Reel in that fish!" He ordered.

Shark smirked "How about you try to get real? I play my face down!" He comanded.

"Your face down?" asked Yuma. Uh, oh.

"That's right, 'Zeus's breath'! And I have a feeling it's going to stink for you because thanks to this trap, I can put a stop to your monster's attack!" Just then a huge wave washed 'Gagaga' and Yuma away.

"And there's more! If I have a water monster on my field, you also take eight hundred points of damage, and there is a water monster on my field. So prepare to be soaked with a serious splash of damage"

I shuddered. half of Yuma's life points. Down the drain.

Shark. Life points: 4000 Yuma. Life points: 2000.

"Oh boy" said Yuma. Then Yuma looked at his hand and put down a face down. "Wait, I got it, since you can play trap cards, so can I. So that's what I'll do"!"

I anime fell. Your not supposed to tell your opponent the type of card you played!

Bronk voiced my thoughts, "Yuma!" *face-palm*, "You can play two types of face downs, spells and traps! Never say which it is!"

"He's got you there." I sneered at Yuma, arms crossed.

Tori groaned, "Get it together!"

Yuma laughed nervously hearing that.

Shark's image appeared, "trap card, huh? Big deal! It's my draw", then he proceeded to draw.

"And first I summon 'Skull Kraken'."

Skull Kraken

Attack: 600

Level: 3

"Tsk, Only 600 attack points?" The voice said again. Maestroke's stern face came back. "Dark Fairy..." He said. Oh, so that's The voices name. Wait. Dark Fairy. That sounds like a monster card!

"Six hundred attack points? Alright no prob! 'Gagaga Magician' is still the strongest monster on the field" said Yuma. Wait. Didn't Shark already wipe that card out? Nevermind.

Shark then revealed, "Not for long he's not. I activate 'Skull Kraken's' special ability! With it I can destroy one face up spell or trap card on your field. Such as that 'wonder wand' for example." Then a fog destroyed the card.

Fudge.

"What's that?" A male's voice said.

"Who- who are you?" I asked. Just then, I was transported some where... Odd.

"Don't worry. You just mentally left. I just wanted to talk to you in private." The voice said.

I turned to stare at him. I then lowered my bottom jaw. In awe. (More rhymes!) He was the most magnificent thing I seen. Next to Maestroke and. Dark Magician. It had a clear, blue and transparent body. With green markings/tattoos, plus blue gems embedded on him. He had Blue hair that curled up. Pointed ears with these odd earings. He also had mismatched eyes. His left eye was a luminous yellow. His right, clear blue.

I shock my head. "Who are you?" I asked him.

"My name is Astral I am the Envoy from Astral world. You and your friend, Yuma are ment to help me in my mission." He stopped, letting the information sink in to me.

"How do You know Yuma's name?" I asked.

"I met his father when he came to the Astral world. I am the one who gave Yuma's father his key.'

"So, that's how Yuma got his key." I said. finally getting it.

Astral nodded.

I then got a worried look on my face. "Maestroke..." I whispered.

"That is your favorite card... And, lover. Right?" Astral asked.

I then had a shocked look on my face. "No! He's not my lover! Wait, how do you know about him?" I asked.

"I do my research," He simply replied. "I also know that, You are an Astral being. A human. And, a Barian.

"What?" I replied.

"Your great-aunt was part Astral being. You inherited that from her. Your great god father was, sadly. part Barian. You inherited that from him. And, finally. Your parents are humans. You inherited that from them."

"So, I'm a freak?" I asked.

Astral shook his head. "No," He said,"now. You are not a freak. You are special."

"Thanks." I said, smiling.

He then nodded. He then got serious. "When Yuma unlocks the door. I'll lose my memories."

I frowned. "Oh." I said.

He then smiled. gently lifting my chin up with his left hand. "Don't worry. I'll remember you. On one condition."

"What?" I asked. noticing Maestroke. I then ran up to him and, hugged him. Burying my face in his chest. He was shocked at first. Then, he returned the gesture.

After at least, 3 minutes. We let go. We then faced Astral.

"You have to accept Chaos XYZ Dark Fairy Cheer Girl as your second duels monster spirit partner. She can be annoying, but. She is actually a caring being." Astral continued.

I then looked at Maestroke. Hoping he'd have the answer.

He smiled at me and, winked. I giggled. He looks so cute when he does that! "I suppose." He replied.

Astral then smiled. "Don't worry, your friends just think you are taking a nap. I know because I checked. Now, you should go."

And, with that. We returned to the real world.

I was lying on the ground. My hood was up so, my head didn't hurt. As much.

"'Bout time you woke up." Tori said as I sat up.

"Sorry." I replied.

I then turned to the duel.

Shark said "Face it, Yuma! I stomped your key to pieces and now I'm gonna stomp you! That's right Yuma this duel is over! And when I win Leona's duel deck, I'm gonna trash it just like I trashed your key. And maybe you'll learn your lesson. Don't pick fights you can't win."

"That's where your wrong, Shark! I'll never learn that lesson! No matter how many times I fall, no matter how many times I get laughed at, I'll keep trying to high-five the sky 'cause when you're feelin' the flow there's no going back! And speaking of feeling the flow, I so am!" Then Yuma ripped the key from the cord and it started glowing.

Yuma was then transported some where. Prolly to the door Astral mentioned.

It was about 1-3 minutes 'til Yuma returned.

"Whoa, that was weird." said Yuma, "My key…it's totally fixed"

Right, Shark broke his key.

Shark...

Shark looked different, it was strange, he then said "Yes and you, are in a fix" Shark then started screaming. Was this part of the plan?

Shark continued, "Now I can build the overlay network. Now, 'Number 17 Leviathan Dragon', Be born!

Leviathan Dragon

Attack: 2000

Rank: 3.

Yuma then said, "What's that?"

I was going to say 'uh, a monster.' But, decided against it.

Next Bronk commented on it too, "I've never seen this monster before in my life"

Cue Tori, "Yeah, same here."

Bronk looked in awe, "Yeah, and what's with the whole number thing?"

"It must be the door." I whispered to Maestroke. He nodded.

Shark then continued his turn, "And now, by removing one of my overlay units like my 'Skull Kraken', I can power up 'Leviathan Dragon' by five hundred attack points."

"Whoa." Me and Maestroke said in unison. We blushed. Then faced the duel.

Yuma looked nervous, "What!?"

Shark then removed 1 of Leviathan's overlay units.

Leviathan Dragon.

Attack: 2500

Overlay Unit(s): 1.

Shark then did his move, "'Leviathan Dragon' attack with shock steam blast!"

Shark then attacked my second favorite male magician. He also leaved a huge dent in Yuma's life points.

Shark. Life points: 4000 Yuma. Life points: 1000.

"Yuma!" Tori yelled.

Shark then sneered, "This duel's just about done! One more attack and you're through!"

Yuma moaned a bit, "That's some dragon, so much for a comeback."

Dark Fairy then appeared with Astral. He smiled at me.

"Sam." He whispered, smiling. "Thanks.

"It's time." Dark Fairy said. She had this gothic look on her face.

Yuma then turned. Facing Astral. "Huh?"

"Rise," He said, "rise up."

"Who…who are you?" Yuma asked.

To be Continued!

So, how do you like it?
