"Beats the hell out of me." Somebody responded, a person who seemed most unpleased to be there, as the final person entered.

Th old man gave a hearty laugh and a large grin, quite pleased. "Wonderful! We're all here. Now, let's get to it, shall we? To be honest with you all...THhe tournament you all been in is not the main event. Oh no. The true reason for this tournament, only a few special people can partake in! And you are some of those special people. Isn't that wonderful?" He asked, genuinely cheerful about at this. If he had any hidden plans, he was damn good at hiding it.

"You see, you all have the potential. The potential to be summoners. To draw out monsters from the cards, to show their true selves...for example." He said, holding out his hand, a kuriboh card in it. Suddenly,t he card begun to glow, and a figure escaped frmt he card. A brown pff of hair, with large eyes and green feet. It made a chirping noise, floating over to Amanda and sitting in her nap, looking up at her. If she felt it, she would find it was QUITE real, warm and fuzzy to the touch. 

The elder chuckled, at both the display and people's reaction. Danny's was quite amusing, as the man had gone wide-eyed at the sight. "Well, miss, it seems to like you! In that case, would you like to be the first to receive the power I wish to give?"
