The Cyberse Tournament had reached the grand finale and everyone was waiting to see who would come out on top.

Was it the world saving hero, that had grown to be known as the greatest Duelist of all time? Or was it the younger hero, who had stood by the man through thick and thin?

Flash Sentry had summoned an unbelievably powerful monster, which had wiped out Spike's entire board and sent every card in his hand to the graveyard. When it attacked, it had unleashed an unbearably blinding light that had prevented anyone from seeing.

Adagio: "This might be it, folks. Has Flash Sentry claimed victory in this battle?"

"Spike!" Smolder yelled, looking down into the smoke cloud to see if Spike was alright. Even in a virtual world, getting hit by something that powerful couldn't have been fun.

Atop the Ritual Monster's head, Flash stared down into the smoke. He had been hoping that Spike would find a way to overcome this and maybe even defeat him. But it appeared that Spike wasn't ready to take Flash's place. Or was he?

As the smoke began to fade, Flash saw a figure standing there. By the looks of things, they were seconds away from collapsing. But they managed to stay up right as the smoke vanished. "No way."

Spike stood there, smoking as Drag-Blader remained by his side. And as everyone else saw Spike still standing, Flash checked his Duel Disk and was shocked.

Flash: 1550
Spike: 500

"But how?" Flash asked. "I destroyed all the cards in your hand and on your field. How the heck could you survive?" Spike smirked, as another figure suddenly appeared out of the smoke. Blazelord.

The Synchro Pendulum Monster was standing behind Spike, appearing in a ghostly form that was now beginning to fade away. As it did, Flash spotted something else. A Trap Card beside Spike, which was also beginning to disintegrate.

"You destroyed all my cards, but one of them was Pendulum Sacrifice. When on the field, this Trap lets you sacrifice a Pendulum Monster in order to weaken the ATK of a monster that's attacking me. But I can also banish it from my graveyard and sacrifice a monster in my Pendulum Zone, whenever I'm being attacked directly. It lets me reinforce my Life Points with that ATK of the monster I sacrificed."

Flash still didn't understand. Spike had no monsters in his Pendulum Zone. Unless. "No." He cried. "When Blazelord's destroyed by a card effect, you're allowed to place him in an empty Pendulum Zone."

"Which means I could use him to boost my Life Points, just before your attack hit."

Adagio: "Amazing. At the last moment, Spike was able to increase his points to just enough to save him from being wiped out. But he's in trouble now. He has no cards in his hands, no cards on the field and he's facing a monster with enough ATK to wipe him out in another blast. How could he possibly survive this?"

"I activate the Deck Master Ability of Hydrake!" Flash's deck shuffled. "Now I can take any three cards I want and place them on top of my deck. I choose Graceful Charity, Mystical Space Typhoon and Shield Crush!"

"That's not good," Fizzlepop frowned. "Graceful Charity will let him draw those two other cards and the other cards in his hand to go to the graveyard. With Mystical Space Typhoon, he can blast any Spell or Trap Spike puts down. And Shield Crush will destroy any DEF Position Monster. Spike will be completely defenceless."

"I don't like this," Trixie cried. "It's one thing to win a Duel, but Flash is completely crushing him. What's Spike supposed to do against something that powerful?"

"I don't know," Sunset frowned. "Maybe it's not possible."

Spike heard everyone murmuring about how powerful Flash's monster was. And with nothing to work with, Spike might very well be out of this Duel. But Spike refused to let that be the case. Spike had come too far to give up now.

"I'm not done," Spike stepped forward. "I don't care how powerful your monster is. I'm gonna find a way to take it down. The same way you found a way to take down all the super powerful monsters that seemed unstoppable." He held up his Deck, "all it takes is one card."

"You're right," Flash nodded. "One card. That's all it takes. But are you gonna be able to draw that card? That's the question." Flash called an end to his turn, Hydrake roaring as it prepared for whatever Spike threw at it.

Spike reached for his deck, as he felt every eye on the planet watching him. This was it. Do or die time. Either he wins this Duel now, or Flash wipes him out next turn. He could do this. He could do this. "I CAN DO THIS!" He drew his card, everyone holding their breath as they waited to see what it was. And when Spike looked at it, a smile appeared on his lips. "It's go time."

Adagio: "Spike looks pretty confident. Did he get something that can help him? But against a monster that's so strong, how can one card help him?"

"Drag-Blader!" Spike cried, as his Deck Master leapt into the air. It did several spins before landing in front of him, the warrior staring down the Ritual Monster despite how outclassed he was.

"Trusting in your Deck Master," Flash smirked. "Now that's putting it all on the line. Come on. Show me what you got!"

"With pleasure!" Spike activated the card. "Go, Blazing Dragon Ritual!" Everyone was shocked to hear this, as a stone altar appeared, with stone dragon statues on either side of it. "Now I can tribute a monster who's Level four or above. And my Drag-Blader counts." His Deck Master landed on the altar, as the dragons unleashed a burst of flames that spiralled around him. "Armor, forged in the eternal flame. Now gives life to a warrior whose soul burns forever!" The fire tornado exploded. "I RITUAL SUMMON!"

The flames died down and revealed what appeared to be a man-sized version of Dragonic Blazelord. But as the figure landed, everyone saw it was a man in armor. He wore a helmet designed to resemble Blazelord's head, whilst he wielded a sword that was just like the Synchro Pendulum Monster's weapon. "Say hello to my Paladin of Blazing Dragon!" (A1900/D1200/L4)

Adagio: "Wow! Looks like Flash wasn't the only one with a powerful new Ritual Monster. But against Flash's Magna Dragon of Destruction, what does Spike expect to do with that?"

"Since Drag-Blader was used to Ritual Summon him, my Paladin is now my Deck Master. That means, I can use his Deck Master Ability!" Three cards flew off the top of Spike's Deck, two of which suddenly catching fire. "Gandora-X and Heat Wing Dragon. These two dragons go to my Graveyard. And that means my paladin gains three hundred points for them." The flames from the card flew into the Ritual Monster, powering him up. (A2500/D1200/L4)

Flash frowned. "Even if he got three dragons, his ATK power wouldn't be enough to stop Hydrake." He hummed, "what are you up to?"

"Now," Spike pointed towards Flash's super boss monster. "Paladin of Blazing Dragon. Attack Magna Dragon of Destruction!" The warrior spread his armor's wings and leapt into the air, as everyone watching gasped.

"Spike!" Smolder cried, "what are you doing?"

"You can't beat his monster!" Gallus yelled. "You're gonna lose!" But Spike remained steadfast and watched, as his monster flew closer and closer towards Hydrake.

"I don't know what you're planning," Flash announced. "But it won't work. Hydrake, blast him!" The dragon roared as it unleashed a burst of energy, which flew towards Spike's monster and slammed into it. The Paladin tried to push against the beam, but it didn't stand a chance.

To everyone's horror, Spike's monster was destroyed. But Spike continued to smile, whilst Flash frowned.

"How are you still standing?" He checked his Duel Disk and saw that Spike's Life Points were untouched. "Don't tell me."

"That's right," Spike smirked. "I take zero damage from a battle involving Paladin of Blazing Dragon."

"So what? You've lost your Deck Master, so you'll lose anyway."

"Not true," Spike remarked. "Because whenever Paladin of Blazing Dragon is destroyed, his other effect activates." Paladin appeared, in an almost ghost-like appearance. "You see, my Paladin isn't just a Ritual Monster. He's a Ritual Pendulum Monster. And when he's destroyed, I can banish him and a face-up Dragon-type Pendulum Monster in my Extra Deck. This lets me perform a Synchro Summon with those two monsters."

"What?" Flash looked up and saw a portal open, which Dragonic Blazelord flew out of.

At the same time, Paladin of Blazing Dragon's ghost exploded into flames and split into four rings. Blazelord flew down into these rings, as Spike began his chant. "Of all the dragons, I call on one of the mightiest in existence. Let the spirits of your fallen brethren, help your soul blaze like never before." The monsters were consumed by a massive explosion. "I SYNCHRO SUMMON!"

The flames of the explosion began to fade away, revealing the giant dragon that Flash remembered from their battle with the Paradox Brothers. The sight of it now, sent a chill up Flash's spine. The four legged dragon with wings of fire, let out a mighty roar as Spike announced its name. "Dragonic Emperor. IMPERIAL FLAME DRAGON!" (A?/D3500/L12)

Adagio: "Amazing. From having absolutely nothing in his hand or on his field, Spike has summoned one of his most powerful monsters. But will it be enough to defeat Hydrake?"

"Imperial Flame Dragon's skill!" Spike announced, as the ghostly forms of all his destroyed dragons appeared. "With eight dragons in my graveyard, Dragonic Emperor's ATK points raises to forty eight hundred!" The ghost flew into the dragon, powering it up as it roared. (A4800/D3500/L12)

"Aw, man!" Smolder cried. "If only Spike had one more dragon in his grave. Then he's ATK would be higher than Hydrake's." But then she heard Ocellus chuckle. "What's up?"

"Spike doesn't need another monster in his graveyard. Because Imperial Flame Dragon has one other ability." Smolder raised an eyebrow at this, as Spike declared an attack.

"Go, Imperial Flame Dragon! Attack and destroy Magna Dragon of Destruction!" The beast spread its flaming wings and took to the air, as Spike continued speaking. "Now, for Dragonic Emperor's other ability!" The ghostly forms of Spike's graveyard monsters once again appeared. "By banish any number of Dragons in my graveyard, Imperial Flame Dragon blasts away five hundred of your monster's ATK points for each one!"

The ghosts burst into flames and flew towards Hydrake, slamming into the Ritual Monster and making it scream as its power was burned away. (A1000/D5000/L12)

"Augh!" Flash cried, the heat from the explosions forcing him to shield his face. "Hot!" He then looked up towards the flying dragon, as the large beast began to build up its fire power. Flash looked down at his face down. "Defence Draw can save me from the damage, but I'll still lose because my Deck Master's gone." He sighed, a smile appearing on his lips. "Not bad, Spike. Not bad."

"DRAGONIC EMPEROR!" Spike cried, the beast's firepower growing even stronger. "GOOOOOOOOOO!" With a mighty roar, it unleashed a powerful stream of fire. it flew down towards Hydrake and slammed into the monster, completely destroying it and causing Flash to be sent flying.

"AUGH!" Flash yelled, as his Life Points dropped to zero.

Flash: 0
Spike: 500 (Winner)

The light from the explosion blinded everyone, forcing them to close their eyes and look away. The light even blinds those watching on the TV, some forced to change the channel so their TVs didn't blow something trying to show the brightness of the light.

After almost a full minute, the light disappeared and everyone in the stadium looked down at the battlefield. And as the smoke from the explosion began to fade, they saw Flash on the ground.

He had been blown off of the stage, laying there looking like he had just been rammed by a train. They then looked over at Spike, who was still standing on the stage with his Synchro Monster floating behind him. Spike looked absolutely shocked, then turned to his Imperial Flame Dragon.

The beast appeared to smile down at him before vanishing, Spike looking back at Flash as the man began to push himself up. It was then that Spike realised what had actually happened, causing him to fall to his knees. "I did it. I won."

Adagio: "HE'S DONE IT! Spike managed to defeat Flash and claim victory in the Cyberse Tournament. It almost seemed impossible, but Spike managed to pull through and earn the title of the first Cyberse Champion."

The crowd cheered at Spike, many of them unable to believe he had actually found a way to defeat Flash.

Speaking of Flash, the man was walking back up onto the stage and spotted Spike on his knees. He smiled and made his way over to him, whilst Spike appeared to be in some kind of daze. "Spike," Flash crouched down, "a champion doesn't belong on his knees." Spike looked up at him, as Flash patted him on the shoulder before getting up. "Stand. Stand and accept the victory you've earned."

Spike watched him hold out a hand and smiled, taking it and letting Flash pull him to his feet. As he did, the crowd cheered even louder and congratulated him. "Way to go, Spike!" Sunset yelled.

"You've shown us what you're made of!" Fizzlepop agreed as the stadium around them suddenly started glowing. And before anyone could say anything, they were all blinded by the light and felt themselves being teleported away. When the light faded, they looked around and found themselves in a large metal room.

There, Spike was standing on a podium whilst the others were standing around him on their own podiums. Then, a bright flash revealed the Dazzlings.

The three women walked into the room, dressed up carrying different objects. "Congratulations, Spike." Adagio told him. "Against all the odds and all the obstacles thrown your way, you've managed to claim win after win here at the Cyberse Tournament."

Sonata stepped forward, holding a sash that she placed over him. Aria followed and was holding a bouquet of flowers, which she handed to him. And finally, Adagio stepped forward with a large trophy in her hands. One she handed to Spike.

"I'm sure this must be a big moment for you. Not only have you won the tournament. You defeated Flash Sentry, one of the best Duelists of our generations. As such, you might be seen as the new best Duelist in the world. What do you have to say about this?" Everyone listened, wondering if Spike was gonna make a big speech about how he became so good.

Spike stared at the trophy, then looked back at Flash and thought about the Duel that had taken place. Those last two rounds. So many things could have changed the outcome of it. And not just in this Duel.

As Spike looked around at the Duelists, he thought about what each of them must have gone through. And when he did, he nodded before he spoke. "I won this tournament. But I don't think that means I deserve to be called the best Duelist in the world." Everyone watching looked surprised by this. "I might have won, but I could have easily lost."

He looked around, wondering where the people at home were watching from. "I won that Duel because a few things went in my favour. If Flash had destroyed Blazelord before he destroyed my Pendulum, I wouldn't have been able to use the Trap that saved me. And if I had drawn any card other than the Ritual Card I got, I would have been toast. If Flash and I Duelled again, he could very well win it. The same with all the other Duels we had. In the end, we were all equal in skill. Some of us were just luckier with the draws than others."

All the competitors realised he had a point. All of the Duels had been rather close. In the end, luck had played a big part in the outcome of the tournament.

Spike held the trophy, wanting everyone who was watching to see him. "I accept this trophy. Since it was won in the Cyberse, I think it's only right that I give it up if I lose in the Cyberse. So here's my challenge to anyone who's listening and thinks they have what it takes to beat me. When the Cyberse is released to the public, I'll happily take on all challengers. Anyone can challenge me. Pro or amateur alike. I'll Duel whoever challenges me. And if you win, you can have this trophy and the title of Cyberse Champion."

All over the world, everyone watching was in shock at this announcement. The thought of winning that trophy and the title had them all excited.

This included those who had just competed in the Cyberse Tournament. Each of them knew they had the skill to beat Spike, even if it was a tough battle. So they were gonna challenge him as soon as they got the chance.

Spike smirked as he thought about what he had just done. "Don't think I'll just hand this trophy over. I wanna prove that I'm the best. And I know I can only be lucky for so long. No matter what, I'm gonna Duel with everything I have. And if I still have this trophy after a year of the Cyberse being made public, then I'll call myself the best. But until then, the title of number one is up for grabs. Have you got what it takes to claim it?"

Adagio smiled as she turned towards those watching. "You heard it here. The Cyberse Tournament might have crowned a champion, but that champion isn't done proving his worth. Do you think you have what it takes to knock him off his throne? Only one way to find out. Be here when the Cyberse is released and challenge Spike to a match. I know what I'll be doing that day. Do you?"

Inside the control room, Twilight wiped her eyes.

She was proud of her brother. Not only for managing to claim victory in her tournament, but for showing great humility and also making it so everyone and anyone would want to enter her creation. The tournament had shown off a lot of fun things people could do in the Cyberse. But now the world had a goal connected to it.

"Way to go, little brother." She patted her round stomach. "Too bad I won't be able to go after the title on my own. You're gonna have me laid up in bed when the Cyberse is released. Oh well. Maybe I can find a way to bring newborns into the virtual world." She laughed, knowing trying such a thing would be stupid. She would just have to wait until she was able to handle going digital herself.

She looked back at the screen and saw the broadcast was finally coming to a close.

No doubt, the competitors would be exhausted after everything they had been through. They might not have actually done anything physically, but all those difficult Duels must have drained them all mentally. Especially the ones that went furthest in the tournament.

The screen changed to show the pods beginning to power down, the Duelists inside all beginning to awaken.

As Spike began to open his eyes, his body suddenly felt incredibly stiff.

The doctors moved over to him and began to do several checks, making sure he was alright. And he wasn't the only one, as everyone else that had been inside the pods was also getting examined. As the examinations were underway, Cold Steel stepped into the room.

"How's everyone feeling?" They all nodded, "and how did everyone enjoy the Cyberse?"

"It was awesome," Gallus smirked. "Kind of wish I got to do that Speed Duel Scootaloo and Yona Duelled in." Flash, Spike and Smolder looked confused, whilst the others nodded in agreement.

"It was great," Sweetie smiled. "I can't wait to go back again. Will there be more environments like the one I Duelled in?"

"That and more," Cold Steel replied. "We have designers working on every kind of environment you can think of. By the time the Cyberse is released, It'll be like that's an entirely virtual world as big as our real world. And the best part will be that you can go anywhere, whenever you want. No need for a plane or even leaving your house."

"Oh dear," Fluttershy looked worried. "What if people decide to never leave their house? If the Cyberse is amazing, why would they bother to leave. What if they spend the rest of their lives cooped up, always laying in bed with the Cyberse keeping them from enjoying the real world?"

"Yeah," Fizzlepop nodded. "If you're not careful, it could lead to the entire world suddenly becoming overweight or atrophy." They realised she was right, with Cold smiling.

"Don't worry. Twilight already had that thought and is planning on giving the Cyberse some kind of time limit. Either it'd shut down two days in seven, or the home systems would have a limited number of hours each person can use them per week. That way, if they go over the limit, they won't be able to enter the Cyberse again until the limiter resets."

"Not a bad idea," Flash nodded before putting an arm around Spike's neck. "So, champ. You ready for the swarm of Duelists that are gonna come after you? You realise, you've set yourself up to be constantly hounded when the Cyberse is released to the public? You won't be able to go in there without being accosted by someone wanting to Duel for the title."

"He's got a point," Sunset nodded. "What if you get sick of constantly being challenged and decide to stay away from the Cyberse?"

"That won't happen," Spike smirked. "And you never know. I might lose the first Duel I have in there. Then someone else can be hounded. But I don't intend to let that happen. No matter what, I'm gonna win every Duel I have in the Cyberse. They can throw anything at me and I'll overcome it. Just watch me." The others smirked at this, Flash patting him on the shoulder.

"No doubt. Just don't get in over your head. Now come on. I wanna hear all about the rest of your Duels in the tournament. I'm sure the others are just as curious."

"Not really," Sunset laughed. "Believe it or not, most of us got to watch all the Duels that happened in the tournament." This confused Flash, Spike and Smolder, whilst Cold chuckled.

"We had to give those eliminated something to do until the finals. So we set up a spot in the Cyberse where all of them were warped to after they were defeated. Where do you think they went after they lost?"

"Honestly," Flash hummed, "I figured their pods deactivated and they returned to the real world. But since they were there to watch the finals, guess it makes sense they hung out somewhere." Despite this, Flash still wanted to hear about Spike's Duels first hand. He intended to watch the tournament in its entirety eventually, but hearing first hand accounts was always interesting.

Everyone began to make their way out of the room, Cold leading them back to where they had all been before the tournament began. Despite it only being one day, the Duelists felt like they hadn't been in that room in months. And despite not doing anything physically, the lot of them were exhausted and starving. Luckily, Cold had set out a spread for them to enjoy.

So they spent the next hour or two talking and eating, discussing how each of their Duels went and what their favourite part of it was.

Later on, Flash was standing on the roof of Freeze Industries.

As he looked out at the city he had saved several times, he held up his deck and shuffled through his cards. Flash Heart, Vail Pixie, Magna Wolf and several others stared back at him. They had helped him through so much. But now, Flash was going to be putting them away for who knows how long.

"Hey." Flash looked around and smiled, when he saw Twilight at the door leading out onto the roof. "I thought I'd find you out here." She stepped over to him and Flash moved away from the edge, not wanting her anywhere near it in her current state. "Those were some Duels you had."

"Yeah," Flash nodded. "And honestly, I'm okay with losing that last one. Spike definitely earned the win."

"Yeah, he did. I was horrified when I saw that Ritual Card in your deck. I wondered why you'd asked your mother to make it for you. It was for your Duel against Spike, wasn't it?"

"Not just Spike," Flash told her. "I was gonna use it, no matter who I faced in the finals. Though I am glad it was Spike I met there. I'm also glad I made it to the finals. Would have hated my last tournament to end with me getting knocked out in the first round." Twilight laughed at this, Flash smiling as they looked out at the city.

"So you're really serious about this? Leaving the Dueling world?"

"Well it's not like I'm gonna be leaving forever. Just for a couple of years, until junior there's old enough to know why their old man's on the TV." Twilight raised an eyebrow at this. "And maybe I can enter a few local tournaments. OR help with other stuff to do with Dueling. I won't really be leaving."

"If you're sure," Twilight let Flash pull her in and hold her tight as the sun set. "But you know, there is something you can do that'll keep you in the Dueling World whilst not having to leave home." Flash looked confused, as Twilight gave him a smirk.

Several weeks later.

The day of the Cyberse's release had come. As soon as it did, thousands of Duelists worked to get the equipment needed to enter the virtual realm. And one of those Duelists was standing atop a large skyscraper in a virtual city.

This city was the main hub for the Cyberse. Every building led to a different activity, like the Duel Puzzles, Labyrinth Duels, facing digital clones of legendary Duelists and a thousand different environments. And flowing through the city, above everyone's head, was a digital data stream. One that would allow Duelists to surf from one area of the Cyberse to another.

Spike smiled as he looked out at the city, where countless Duelists were meeting and Dueling. Already, hundreds of matches were going on. Duelists from two different parts of the world were facing off, doing something they never could have enjoyed before. Dueling one another face to face.

"I thought you might be here." Spike looked around and saw Flash, who was walking towards him with a smirk on her face.

"Hey," Spike frowned. "Shouldn't you be looking after that newborn of yours?"

Flash laughed at this. "Twilight sent me. Told me to keep an eye on you during the release day." He looked down at the large crowd down below. "They've been waiting weeks for this. Everyone's gonna be eager to Duel you first. If you don't have someone to filter out some of them, you might end up getting overwhelmed."

"Alright," Spike nodded before something appeared beside him. A purple board, like the ones Scootaloo and Yona had Dueled on during the tournament. "You ready?"

Flash smirked as an orange board appeared next to him. "Let's ride!" The two leapt over the side of the building and flew down several stories before throwing the boards down and landing atop them, using them to slow down as they pushed themselves off the side of the buildings and onto one of the data streams flowing through the city.

They raced side by side, as they attached their Duel Disks to their arms.

Down below, the large crowd of Duelists spotted the pair and gasped. Many tried to find Duel Boards, whilst others were attempting to catch up on foot. But some already had the equipment they needed.

As Flash and Spike raced along the digital super highway, several Duelists shot through the air above them before crashing into the virtual river. Spike and Flash looked ahead, where they saw everyone who had been in the Cyberse Tournament with them.

They were all racing along with them, and they weren't alone. Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie were also there, along with Soarin, Gilda, Starlight, Sunburst, Maud and a few other Duelists the two knew.

They all smirked at the two, as the pair raced ahead. "Oh, I've been waiting for this!" Rainbow activated her Duel Disk. "You ready, Spike? I'm taking you down and taking that trophy from you!"

Spike smiled as he activated his own Duel Disk. "Bring it on!" But before the pair could connect, Smolder appeared.

"I don't think so. You owe me a rematch from the Cyberse Tournament."

"You had your chance to beat him," Gallus told her. "I'm Dueling him." The pair glared at each other, allowing Sandbar to suddenly get in front of them.

"I don't think so!" He cheered. "Time for me to become the Cyberse Champion."

Flash and Spike watched, as more and more people claimed they were gonna be the ones to Duel Spike for the trophy. But they kept getting in each other's way, so none of them actually got to Duel. Flash and Spike shared a look, then smirked as they decided they should get things started.

Suddenly, Rainbow's Duel Disk locked onto Spike's and the woman looked at him in surprise. "You were the first to challenge me. Let's do this thing." Rainbow smirked, whilst Flash connected his Duel Disk to Smolder. The girl looking confused by this.

"Beat me and you can Duel whoever wins their Duel." Smolder liked the sound of that, whilst other Duelists began pairing off to face one another. As the Cyberse's data stream raged, many different Duels began with the same cry.

"LET'S DUEL!"

Author's Note

And that's it. I'm glad I decided to do this story. It was fun to write a Yugioh story where the fate of the world wasn't on the line. Just a bunch of Duelists, testing their limits against one another. My favourite parts of this were definitely the filler Duels, especially the ones against Pegasus and the Paradox Brothers. What was your favourite part?

Also, out of all the new Duelists that were in this, which one was your favourite and whose's deck did you like the best? Can't wait to here your answers.

Thanks again to SuperSonicHeroes, for proof reading parts of this story. You're the best, man.

Next week, I'll be releasing a new story that'll only be a few chapters long. It's something I've been interested in doing for a while and I hope everyone enjoys it. Then, after that, the sequel many of you have been waiting for.
