"Why can't, I beat him? I even manage to get a card like Vorse Overlord, and I still couldn't pull it off. I'm sorry, father. I guess I'm not good enough," said Vera, feeling her eyes getting teary, as she looked to the ground. "I guess I should give it up," she said, refusing to look up at, The Ice King. "Hey don't feel bad, you probably did better than most of the people here could, I mean you got him all the way down to 300LP, you practically won." cheerfully said, by a boy next to her. "When did he get near me?" she wondered, but it didn't matter. She was too depressed to care. She continued staring at the ground. "Do you need a hug? Granny says hugs always help." continued the boy, trying to cheer her up. "He's right you know hell you did better than I would have done." said the voice of another boy, walking towards her. She finally looked up, in their direction. They were trying to make her feel better, the least she could do was cheer up a little. 

She noticed one of the boys was looking directly at, The Ice King. "You know you should try dueling with a little more kindness maybe then you can thaw that frozen heart of yours." said the boy to, The Ice King. Was he trying to defend her, or was that his own words for, The Ice King? She wasn't sure, but she felt a little embarrassed, that they were doing, this much to cheer her up. She stood to her feet, wiping her eyes. "I'm alright, thank you, and you to," she said, thanking both boys, for cheering her up. 

After the words from the boy, he never met before, Yuji gave him an intense stare. "What nonsense, is he talking about," he thought, wondering the meaning of the boy's words. Yuji felt an arm go around his shoulders, interrupting his stare down, noticing that it was Jin's. "He means, stop being a grumpy pant, while dueling," said Jin giving, Yuji a friendly smile. "What are you talking about, I'm just Dueling like I always do," responded Yuji. "I wonder when you'll notice what you've become," thought Jin to himself, remembering the past. 

 "That Duel was awesome! That Vorse Overlord was all like, 'Rawr, I'm invincible!," said the voice of a girl appearing near her. She wondered, where all of these people where coming from. Another person appeared. It seemed as though he was with the girl. "Megumi, I keep telling you that that's not the case.  One monster alone won't always grant you victory, the prime example being the Duel that just occurred here. It was careless to leave only one monster on the field without any other defenses, no matter how powerful it was," said the boy following the girl. Vera almost felt depressed, but shook it off. It was her fault for not being more prepared. She then pointed a finger at, The Ice King. 

"I won't give up. I'll defeat you one day. The next time will be a flawless victory!" yelled Vera forcing a smile, showing some strength. "Oh hoo, it looks like you may have made more enemies," laughed Jin, tugging at Yuji's neck, with his arm. "That hurts, idiot," responded Yuji, while Jin laughed more. Yuji began walking off towards the park, while Jin followed, while waving goodbye to the others.

Vera watched him go, then turned to the others. "I'm sorry, but who are you guys?" she asked wondering the name of the ones that, brought her courage back to life.
