A,N: Well here is the next chapter. I find this chapter a little brutal in the end. So well thought you should be warned. However please comment on what you think later. Have fun reading the next chapter.

Normal p.o.v.

"If you are just joining us here at the WDC, please help us extend a warm welcome to Kite for his outstanding victory" Mr. Heartland shouted.

He was standing in his hoverjet and was looking out on the watching crowd on the tribute. Holographic screens were all over town, and they could see Heartland smile a big smile. "He, along with Vetrix, is the first semifinalist to emerge. There is only 4 more to advantage. Who will it be?".

Pictures of Yuma, Zaira, Shark, Grace, Quattro, Nistro, Anna Kaboom and Sasha Martinez was shown on the screens now. The crowd began talking among themselves now. Some was betting on who of the restly finalist would advance. The same was Yuma and Zaira's friends.

"Oh Zaira and Yuma are still in there" Caswell commented.

"And so is Shark" Bronk added. "But there looks like there is some fierce opponents among them. Quattro especially".

Caswell nodded slightly. He and Bronk could still remember the treatment Quattro gave them last time. It caused them to end up at the hospital. Flip were thoughtful for a moment.

"You guys, you don't believe Yuma and Zaira are gonna battle it out here on the field do you? I mean she is sneaky wolf. Maybe she is luring.." Flip began.

"Stop right there.. Zaira is nothing like that" Bronk yelled and grabbed Flip "She has a heart of a true duelist. Unlike someone else I know". Flip grinned sheepishly.

"Well it was just a joke. Come on, no one can beat Zaira" he then said.

"But if they do face up against each other, who would win?" Cathy then questioned.

"Zaira" the rest of the group said "Yuma don't stand a chance". Caswell were also thoughtful for a moment.

"But what if Zaira faces up against Shark? Then what?" he questioned.

"Hmm that is a hard one" Bronk said "They never dueled against each other, but let's just see what happens". The other nodded.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I was driving around in my coaster car inside the dragon's den. I felt rather frustrated actually. And annoyed. I tapped my fingers at the instrument panel.

"Yuma, stop following me!" I then yelled and noticed a shadow of another car approach me. I sneered rather annoyed. It was their third attempt.

"Oh hi Zaira I didn't know you were around on these parts" Yuma said innocently.

"Stop the acting" I sneered annoyed "Why are you three following me?".

"Hey it wasn't my idea" Yuma complained "It was Astral's idea". I sighed deeply.

"Does that even make it better?" I questioned "Let me ask again. Astral why are you making Yuma follow me then". Astral flew a little closer to my car.

"Well the danger in these recent event, has made me believe you also could be in danger" Astral proclaimed "We are just making sure, you are safe in your duel against Grace".

I sighed deeply. There Astral goes again. Overprotective as always.

"I will be fine" I said coldly "I have Cy to protect me. Vetrix can't lay a finger on me". Astral sighed deeply by that.

"Yes I know that, but you do realise that Nb 24 is a number card" he then said "He could take over your soul...". Cy growled offended in the car beside me now.

"Mistress can I hurt him? He offended me deeply" Cy growled "I would never hurt you. Don't he compare me to the other numbers. Especially that 96". I smirked.

"Astral you offended my friend Cy now" I said "He has given me his word that he would never possess me, and I trust him okay? So why don't you trust my judgement". Astral sighed deeply.

"Oh yes, I am sorry" Astral then said "I really should stop worrying. It is just you have been my friend for so long Zaira. But considered that Cy never have hurt you, I was rather foolish to even consider that. My apologize Nb 24". Cy growled.

"Apology accepted" He said and I translated. Astral lit a little up.

"But please Zaira, at least let me and Yuma accomplish you to the samurai field" he asked slowly. "In your duel against Grace". I looked rather surprised at him.

"Wait Samurai field. Is that where Grace is?" I questioned and sneered "I knew I forgot something. How stupid can I get?". Yuma grinned.

"You forgot Grace told you didn't you?" He then said "At the jungle field".

"Maybe" I said in honesty "But hey there were all that with Vetrix and Dextra. I might just have forgotten it. I feel like an idiot". Cy tried nuzzling my cheek.

"My mistress is not an idiot" he then said protective "She is brave and smart".

I couldn't stop smiling at that. Cy was trying to cheer me up at least.

"Well let's go to the samurai field" I then said.

However I have just said that, when Astral and Cy actually jerked a little. Yuma and I looked puzzled at Astral (and Cy).

"Astral, something wrong?" Yuma questioned. The ghost slowly nodded.

"I sensing a powerful pulse of energy coming from up ahead Yuma" He replied and frowned "I may believe it is the power of the crest". Cy nodded slowly as well.

"So that means Vetrix could be close by?" I questioned.

"That is quite reasonable" he replied and looked at me and Yuma. I snort.

"Well let's find out what he is up too" I said. Whatever it was it couldn't be something good. The battle with Grace might have to wait a tiny bit. "What field?".

"I believe it is coming from the magma field" Astral proclaimed "The energy is close by there".

I nodded and we all drove towards the magma field.

Shark's p.o.v.

Shark and Quattro had just arrived at the magma field. He could hear the commentator Mr. Heartland tell the crowd who was looking at the screens that they had just arrived, however Shark quickly ignored it. He was only here for one thing and that was to get his revenge on Quattro. He was staring down Quattro now.

"I finally caught up with you" Shark then said and glaring at Quattro. "You get tired of running?".

He was standing in front of him at another boulder. All around them was lava and Volcanos. They presented the lava field they were now standing at.

"From you? Please" Quattro questioned and smirked "You are playing right into my hands. I wasn't running away. I was luring you right here to the scorching hot magma field where you are in a overwhelming disadvantage. You see your deck is full of Water monsters, and water and fire don't exactly mix". Shark glared at him.

"I don't care where I duel" He proclaimed "I will win in the end anyway. This is all for her. For what you did to her. I am dueling for Zaira!". Quattro grinned evilly.

"You still hung up by her. Oh Reginald you just can't seem to let it go, can you" He then proclaimed "But if it's a duel you want. It is a duel you get".

They both activated their duel disks and the duel began.

Shark: 4000 Lp's.

Quattro: 4000 Lp's.

(Magma field's eff: It will destroy every water monster who is summoned)

"I am jumping in and going first" Shark proclaimed and drew. "And if you think this magma field is gonna burn me, then you got another thing coming".

He activated the spell "Plate salvage". This spell negates the effect of all field spell cards for two turns. To demonstrate the whole magma field was covered in ice now. Quattro was not looking so happy though. Then suddenly out of the blue, 3 guests arrive. Yuma, Tori and Zaira entered the field. They were standing on a cliff a little away from them. However they had a pretty good view over the whole duel.

"Check it out Tori and Zaira, it is Shark vs Quattro. This I gotta see" Yuma then proclaimed.

Shark turned towards them and his eyes widened when he noticed that Zaira was here as well. He felt rather embarrassed and surprised right now. Embarrassed because his heart was jumping so fast all of the sudden. Surprised because he didn't expect her to be right here. Lastly he was actually also happy to see her. He knew she was still in the tournament, but seeing her with his own eyes and knowing she was safe and sound, was a big relief.

"Zaira, Yuma, what in the world are you two doing here?!" He then yelled a little annoyed. Yuma and Zaira looked at each other.

"We are here to cheer you on Shark" Zaira then said "That and Vetrix...".

"Well I don't need that" Shark sneered, but deep inside wondered why he was acting like this all of the sudden "I can handle Quattro all by my own. I don't need a cheerleading squad".

He noticed that Zaira was staring coldly at him.

"Well Excuse me" she then sneered coldly "Since when is it wrong to check up on their friends and wish them good luck. Stupid Shark boy".

"You two sound like a married couple" Quattro then suddenly commented and stopped their ridiculous argument "It is really shown you care for each other".

"Shut up!" they then both yelled and glared at him "We are not a couple!".

"Well if you say so, but hey I am glad you could all join us" Quattro then replied with a smirk "You can all be my witnesses when I beat Shark".

Shark sneered angry. I will show him. Quattro is the one losing here! No one knew that a certain boy with a mask and green crest was watching this duel from afar though.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I was staring angry at Shark. I really didn't understand why he was so mad at me, but it was clearly shown that he didn't want me around here. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew Vetrix was luring around here, I would have left already. However at the same time I was rather happy to see him. He was at least okay, even though he was dueling Quattro. Yuma and Tori looked puzzled around.

"I thought this was the magma field" Tori then commented "Not the antarctic field".

"Yeah what gives it is freezing here" Yuma then added and sneezed.

I must admit it was rather cold here, but I figured it was Shark that had activated some kind of trap or spell, to stop the field spell from activating. It just sounded like something he would do. Shark continued his move by summoning "Tripod fish" to the field in att mode. Since he summoned a fish type monster, he could also summon "Shark stickers" to the field. Then he overlaid them to summon "Submersible carrier aero shark". (rank 3) He quickly removed one Ou to use his monster's eff. He could now deal 400 points of damage to Quattro for every card he had in his hand. Shark had 3, so Quattro got hit by 1200 points of damage. He was only having 2800 life points now. Shark placed two cards face down and ended his turn.

"Shark dealt a big time blow on his very first turn" Yuma commented "Quattro had been Shark attacked".

I nodded in agreement. Shark was really an awesome duelist.

"You think you are hot stuff summoning an Xyz monster on your first turn eh?" Quattro sneered and drew "Well I was counting on that Shark".

Quattro started off his turn by summoning his "Gimmick Puppet Magnet doll". (Lv8) He could summon this monster since Shark had an Xyz monster on his field. Then he summoned the monster "G.P. Gear changer". It's effect makes it the same lv as his magnet doll.

"It doesn't look good for Shark right now" Tori commented "I hope he can change things around".

I nodded slightly. However I didn't hope he could change things around. I knew he could. Come on Shark, win! Quattro overlaid his two monsters to Xyz summon "Nb 15 G.P. Giant grinder". I sneered. That was one nasty doll.

"That is scary" Tori then commented.

"You said it. That is the monster who put Caswell and Bronk in a world of hurt" Yuma then told us.

I looked up at the number. I never seen it for myself, since I wasn't there that time, but I figured Caswell and Bronk weren't happy seeing this monster. I just hoped Shark could withstand it.

"You are way out of your league and soon you will be sunk Shark" Quattro then said and smirked "And unfortunately for you this is just the beginning".

I looked at Shark again. I really hoped he would be the one who sunk Quattro instead.

Normal p.o.v.

At the tribunes Bronk and the others were watching the duels. Many fangirls was fighting over who was better. Shark or Quattro. Bronk and Caswell was of course rooting for Shark, since Quattro in their eyes was a lying self serving snake. Therefore they were very pleased with Shark's move with Aero Shark. Now Quattro could feel what it was like to be attacked. However then Quattro bounced back and suddenly Quattro wasn't seeming to to be so nice any longer. Or that's what the girls thought, until the video phone was disconnected. Everyone was rather disappointed.

"Oh no not again" Mr. Heartland said "What on earth is happening with the video screen. More problems. It couldn't have happened at a more worse time. This duel was really heating up".

Then Heartland was thinking to himself. Who is doing this?

Vetrix's p.o.v.

Somewhere at the magma field was Vetrix hiding. Or a hologram was. Vetrix had used the power of the crest to watch the duel even though he wasn't really there. He knew Zaira, Yuma and Tori also had arrived as spectators, but since they weren't doing anything to ruin his plans, he was letting them watch.

"Oh how I have waited for this" he mumbled to himself "Quattro, at long last squaring up against Shark. I set the wheels in motion for this duel a long ago. You can be quite sure I will keep my eye on this one". Then he laughed a little.

"I also took care of the cameras" he then said in a low voice and appeared on a rock so he better could watch the duel. Yuma and his crew couldn't see him "A duel of this consequence should have the dignity of privacy".

He grinned again and looked at the two duelist in front of him.

"Ah the bitter hatred between Quattro and Shark runs very deep" he then continued and smirked "And now without any prying eye, I can do as I please".

Shark's p.o.v.

Shark sneered angry when Quattro activated his number's special eff. By using a Au he could destroy Aero shark and deal him damage equally to it's att points. Soon Shark got blasted by 1800 points of damage, and hit the ground really hard.

"Shark are you okay?" he could hear Zaira yell.

"If he is, he won't be for long" Quattro pointed out and made a direct attack with his monster.

However Shark was quicker. He activated the trap "Bubble bringer". With this card he could negate Quattro's direct attack. He got up on his feets as well.

"You may have stopped my direct attack, but what you can't stop is the climate" Quattro them pointed out "You see plate salvage's eff ends this turn, so the temperature is going way up, and the chance of you making a comeback goes way down".

He just said that when the climate changed from frosty to fiery, just like that. He noticed Yuma got burned from the flames. That actually made Shark laugh inside. Zaira smirked as well. Shark was staring at her for a second, before he returned to the duel.

"I don't need a field spell to beat you" Shark then proclaimed and glared at Quattro. "Let me demonstrate".

He drew and summoned "Hammer Shark" in att mode. Then he used the other eff of bubble bringer. By sending it to the grave, he could summon Tripod fish back to field from the grave. Since tripod fish was special summoned it gained a lv and was counting as two monster's when Xyz summoned.

"Your fool, did you forget that this field's relentless heat makes it near impossible for Water attribute monsters to duel" Quattro then said "Your water monsters stands no chance here. Let me show you what I mean".

As a resolve two fire creatures jumped up from the lava, and was attacking Shark's monsters. However Shark wasn't even worried. A shield appeared around Shark's monsters now.

"How did that happen?" Yuma questioned confused. Zaira sighed deeply.

"Shark just activated a trap card Yuma" she explained and smiled at him.

Shark noticed that her lips were moving silently now. He could read the words from her lips however, and it made Shark smirk even more "Beat him Shark". If that was what Zaira wanted from him, he wasn't going to complain. He will beat Quattro alright.

"What's that?" Quattro sneered and looked at Shark's activated trap.

"It is the trap card 'Adapt to adversity'. This card stops spell or trap card's from destroying my water monster. They stay on the field" he explained to Quattro.

"Alright Shark is the man" Yuma cheered and smiled happily.

Zaira didn't say anything, but Shark could see her smile. She was impressed alright. Shark smirked. He was mightily pleased that he could impress Zaira a little. Then he turned his glare over to Quattro once again. They still had a score to settle. Quattro today I am gonna pay you back for all that you have done to me. Setting me up, getting me disqualified from the nationals, and putting my sister in the hospital. That and then the worst crime of all, he and his helpers kidnapped and hurt Zaira. That is unforgivable!

"I will defeat you Quattro! No matter what the cost!" Shark then yelled and surprised the audience who was watching "I am dueling for Zaira".

Then he overlaid his three monsters, tripod counted as 2 monsters, and xyz summoned "Nb 32 Shark drake". This was surely gonna change the tide.

Quattro's p.o.v.

Quattro looked rather stunned at Shark when he summoned another Xyz monster, and then it was even a number. He didn't know Shark had a number in his possession.

"That number?" Quattro questioned. He was rather confused now "That number belonged to Trey. But that means.. did Vetrix use Trey to pass the number to Shark? Has he been plotting this duel this whole time?".

He had just said that when Vetrix appeared as a hologram beside him. Vetrix, his father, was grinning a little.

"Why yes? Didn't I mention it?" He then said through telepathy inside Quattro's head.

He used the bond they had with the crests to do that. Quattro sneered angry.

"Vetrix, why wasn't I told?" He yelled.

"Telling you would only compromise the security of my plan Quattro" Vetrix replied him and teleported some meters away from him "And who knows who you might tell". Vetrix teleported above him now.

"You see everyone has their role to play" Vetrix continued "Trey, Grace and Quinton, even you my boy". Quattro glared at Vetrix now.

"That so?" He questioned coldly "Then what is my role ha? Now we are at it, what is Grace's role? Since you did that to her". Vetrix smirks.

"Now why would I tell you Grace's role in my plan, when you have that loose tongue of yours?" he then said and grinned "But yours is to drive Shark's rage. Make his anger sought to new heights, and the angrier Shark gets, the quicker the number consumes him". Quattro looked surprised at him.

"Let me get this straight, you are using me to make Shark angry?" He then sneered "So he can summon Shark drake?".Vetrix nodded.

"That's about it" He replied and teleported somewhere else, leaving a bad taste in Quattro's mouth.

He felt angry and hurt. His father was only using him and his siblings and he felt hurt by it. That and that his own father didn't even trust in him. He got out of his thoughts when Shark attacked with Shark drake and destroyed his monster. Quattro got blown backwards and lost 1300 life points. He was only having 1500 left. Then Shark used his monster's special eff. By using an Ou he gave Quattro his monster back from his grave, but it had 1000 less att points. That also made Shark drake attack again. However Quattro was quick on his feets. He activated the monster "G.P. Twilight joker" eff from his hand. He could special summon this monster, if he banished Giant grinder from the field. That also made Shark unable to attack again. If that attack had succeed, Quattro would have been done for.

"Uh that was close Quattro. A most impressive counter measure" He could then hear and found Vetrix behind him once again. "Yes most impressive indeed, but it remains to be seen if your quick thinking was a fluke, or a harbinger for things to come". Quattro clenched his fists.

"Be quiet Vetrix" he yelled so everyone could hear it.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I watched the duel with great interest. How could I not, when Shark was stating that he was dueling for me? Although I turned a little red, no one luckily noticed, I wondered what that was all about? I mean why where he dueling for me? At the sidelines Yuma was trying to explain the duel to Tori. Something about Shark and Shark drake. I really didn't listen that much. I was rather worried. I did remember last time with Shark drake, the number had tried to take control of Shark, but Shark had overcome it. Or so I hoped. You could never be to careful. Unless you have an awesome number like Cy of course. I knew deep in my heart that Cy would never control me. Why should he? We were already connected. He was part of me already, so he had enough time to actually take over me if he wanted to. He had instead helped me so many times, so I trusted Cy with all my heart. Shark had just destroyed Nb 15 with Shark drake, when suddenly Quattro flipped out.

"Be quiet Vetrix!" he yelled and my eyes widened. Vetrix?!

"Did he just say Vetrix?" Yuma then questioned puzzled. I was not liking this at all.

"Are you here Vetrix?" Shark sneered "Don't hide from me!".

To answer Shark's question Vetrix appeared as a hologram beside Shark now. We could all see him. Shark sneered and tried to attack him, but he flashed away once again.

"Vetrix is here" Yuma exclaimed. He sounded nervous.

"Not quite. It seems as if Vetrix is using the power of the crest to speak to us from afar" Astral analyzed. I nodded in agreement. I had thought the same thing.

"How very astute of you Astral" we could then hear Vetrix say. We couldn't see him.

"Vetrix why are you spying on Shark and Quattro's duel?" Astral questioned "What is your purpose? I demand that you answer me". I could hear Vetrix grin.

"Well since you asked so nicely, I think I will share my plot with you all, or some of it, since there is no stopping me now" Vetrix then said and he appeared once again.

This time as 4 different holograms. One for each of us at the sideline. I was glaring angry at the hologram in front of me. I really despised Vetrix right now.

"I intend for the number Shark drake to consume Shark, that will make him prone to my influence and I can use him to finish of Dr. Faker" Vetrix continued explaining.

My eyes widened in horror. No, I won't let that happen! Not to Shark!

"Think again" Shark sneered and Vetrix appeared as hologram there too "You are not using me for anything understand! You will pay for what you did to Zaira!".

I looked shocked at Shark. Was that why he was fighting Quattro? To get payback for what they did to me? At some point I felt rather flattered. At some other point I felt rather sad. Revenge were never the right solution in my eyes. For whatever reason you were fighting. Vetrix grinned and looked at Shark.

"Oh I beg to disagree" he then said "I can be quite convincing. You will be my puppet doing exactly as I wish. The same goes for your little girl friend soon. You will both be powerless to defy me".

My eyes widened again. Wait what? His girl friend?! But then I realized the look Vetrix was sending me, and I knew he was talking about me. Apparently Shark had realised that as well. He sneered angry and tried to hit Vetrix once again. Oh how I wish he was real right now, then Shark and I could kick his butt right down in that lava pit below us. No one was gonna use us! That's for sure!

"You will not touch a hair on Zaira's head, do you understand!" Shark then yelled.

"But why Vetrix? Why have you chosen them? Why not me?" Quattro then sneered. "I am the better duelist. Please Vetrix, this is a mistake. Let me take on Dr. Faker".

"I am tired of hearing myself repeat this to you Quattro. Each person has their own role to fill in my plans, but to be quite clear, you are not the stronger duelist. That honor goes to Shark" Vetrix then said and then looked at me again "And Zaira here too. I believe she also has skills enough to beat you".

I bit my lip. Quattro didn't exactly look happy by that statement. He looked like he was gonna rip Shark apart. Lim for lim. I really hoped Shark could withstand whatever was coming his way.

"You are wrong! I will never accept that!" Quattro yelled in fury "I will show you who the stronger duelist is. I will prove that you have misjudged me by beating Shark in this duel".

Then Quattro drew. He activated the spell card "Gimmick puppet ritual" from his hand. With it he could return a gimmick puppet monster back to the field from his grave. He choose "Gimmick puppet magnet doll". He overlaid his two monsters on the field to Xyz summon "Nb 40 Gimmick puppet of strings". Then he equipped the spell "Sting of destiny" to his monster. With this card, by sending his top card from his deck to the grave, and if it was a monster card, he could attack as many times as that monster's level.

"Your monster won't be destroyed" Quattro then further explained "No you alone will take all the damage Shark! And look at that, I drew G.P. Dreary doll, which means I can attack your Shark drake 8 times in a row". My eyes widened in horror.

"This is bad" Yuma then said.

"Yeah no kidding!" I sneered out.

"8 consecutive attacks" Astral pointed out in horror.

Quattro attacked with his monster now. His monster attacked Shark drake, but like he said earlier Shark drake wasn't destroyed. Instead Shark was blown backwards and slammed to the ground, taking all the damage Shark drake took. He lost 200 life points.

"Shark!" Yuma and I yelled in unison.

However it did nothing. Quattro attacked Shark drake again. Shark was hit once again. And again and again. It was terrible to watch actually. I clenched my fists. I had to do something. Anything! This was wrong. This was madness!

"I can't watch" Tori said and covered her eyes. I didn't blame her.

"Quattro what your doing is wrong!" Yuma uttered "Dueling has nothing to do with giving in to your anger..".

I nodded slightly. I was about to summon Cy's power to blow me over to Shark. I could at least endure some of the attacks for him. However that was sadly not to be, because Vetrix had other plans.

"Oh on the contrary" Vetrix said and appeared as hologram before us.

The crest he used however was rather real. Soon I found myself in chains once again. Figures! Yuma was as well. Apparently we were tied up in the moment.

"Ahr I can't move" Yuma then said and tried getting free from the chains Vetrix had put on him.

I tried as well, but we really couldn't move.

"So sorry, but I can't let you interfere with this duel" Vetrix told us "Just sit tight, relax and watch the show". I sneered angry.

"When I get out of these chains Vetrix" I sneered "Then Cy and I are gonna kick your little butt until you see stars. Can't you see this is wrong?!". Vetrix grinned.

"Well you can try" he encouraged "I like seeing you angry, so please by all means, stay that way".

I sneered angry, but that didn't help me getting out of these chains or help Shark down there sadly. Quattro attacked again.

"Quattro stop!" Tori yelled. "You are hurting him".

"Yeah stop it" Yuma added "Dueling is not about causing pain". Quattro smirked.

"I can't say I agree" He then replied with that evil smirk on his lips "My only concern is that Shark may be getting used to the punishment. In case you are not keeping count, this is my 5 attack".

I sneered angry. I had to do or say something here.

"Quattro, do you really think that changes anything?" I yelled "Hurting Shark, hurting me or any of your so called fans from your fanclub. Do you think your siblings would like to see you do this. Quinton, Trey or Grace? Doesn't that mean anything to you?".

"Oh shut up Zaira. Like you understand anything" Quattro sneered "Like anyone in my family cares what I do anyway. All high and mighty Quinton who follows my father's orders like a little dog. Trey who is so damn loyal and Grace.. Well she has changed. I do not consider her my sister any longer".

I bit my lip a little. I had a feeling I knew what was wrong with Quattro. However I was not fully sure.

"But Quattro... dueling is about competition. Friendly competition" Yuma then said and tried to make Quattro see his point of dueling. I was not sure it worked. "But this is unfriendly. Dueling is about friends!". However Quattro didn't even listen to him.

"Yuma, You are just like him" we could suddenly hear Vetrix say and he appeared once again before us "Just like your father Kazuma. Ha, you are both misguided. He would prattle on about dueling and friendship, and other such nonsense".

"Ahr don't you dare talk about my father" Yuma sneered angry at him.

"Yeah don't talk about his father like that!" I yelled to Vetrix "Kazuma was surely a great man, and great father".

Vetrix chuckled and was staring eyes to eye with me now. I was staring into his yellow eyes.

"Oh how would you know that Zaira? You never had true parents" he then said and I froze "Weren't you an orphan? A poorly treated orphan to be exact. What was it they called you? Oh yes Carrot head and monster". I tensed again.

"Shut up" I said slowly and then rose my voice "Shut up! That is my memories got that. My past. You have no right to sneak around, and think you understand me because you saw some of my memories. You don't! You don't know me at all!".

"Oh my, I think I hit a nerve didn't I Zaira?" Vetrix said and grinned "Am I making you more angry? Excellent! Your anger will deliver you further and further into my cluthes, so stay angry. Haha, You have something to say, well out with it Zaira, let's hear what's on your mind". I sneered angry.

"Everyone whose life you touch, suffers Vetrix!" I yelled angry "You tomented poor Dextra in the jungle field. You have changed your own daughter Grace's memories, and you used Trey and Quinton as tools for your own revenge".

However apparently Vetrix didn't even get angry at me at all. He really didn't care about what I was saying. Or in other terms, he didn't care about his family one bit. Instead he was grinning evilly.

"Yes Zaira, let your anger for me burn like a wildfire. I can sense your anger growing. It is so delightful. Very soon you will be mine" He then said.

I sneered angry. Didn't he have a conscience in there? Well apparently not.

"Did you enjoy those attacks as much as I did?" I could then hear Quattro say and delivered another attack at Shark. I could hear Shark scream up in pain. I sneered.

"Cy, can't you do anything to remove these chains on me" I asked Cy inside my soul.

"I am sorry mistress, but Vetrix power is stronger than Trey's was" Cy replied.

I sneered. Of course he was! Luckily Quattro was finally finished with these 8 attacks. Shark was lying on the ground with 500 life points to his name. Quattro smirked.

"My attacks are over, but your punishment has just begun" He told Shark and activated his monster's eff.

By using an Ou, he could place a string counter on Shark drake. At Quattro's next turn, the counter will destroy Shark drake and deal Shark damage equally to it's att points. With that Quattro ended his turn. However after all those attacks, Shark was lying on the ground, and it looked like he wasn't moving.

"Shark! Get up! Don't quit now!" I yelled and hoped he heard me "Shark you can't let Quattro win!".

However it didn't seem to be working. Shark didn't move at all.

"Shark!" I yelled once more.

A,N: Well cliffhanger. Interesting ending. Rather brutal if you ask me. However hope you still like it. In the next chapter we have the rest of the duel. Shark's efford to beat Quattro and a certain number who want's his attention. It is going to be interesting. As well as having some surprises along the way. Hope you find that interesting to read.
