The flight to Regno Ricco had gone off without a hitch. In just a few short hours, the private jet the Khan had sent off to transport Lyall had landed. He had slept most of the way there, but he did take a note of the dueling simulator the craft had so he could later be reminded to have some of those installed in his family's jets. Seriously, why hadn't anybody there thought of that yet? Grabbing his belongings and snagging a few sandwiches from a fridge, he exited the jet and made his way down the steps, a sleek black limousine already waiting for him at the bottom. Lyall grinned. 

"Heh, if there's one thing I can say about the Khan, it's that he knows how to provide for his guests!"

Lyall thought it was a bit of a shame he couldn't stand around and admire the city's skyline, but at least he could see the city during the ride. Even from within the vehicle he could see that it lived up to its reputation of a place of splendor, much like the city where he came from. He thought the two cities would've looked similar, but that wasn't the case due to Regno's old styled architecture, which Lyall thought was pretty cool actually. He felt this would certainly be an... interesting trip, and not just because of the Duel Monsters tournament. That definitely was a big reason for his excitement though, he was interested in seeing new duelists and the type of decks they'd bring. The other part came from meeting the Khan himself to talk about some more "professional" dealings, but that was stuff he'd concern himself over at a later time. At the moment he actually did have something to think about, and that was the duel he'd be having as soon as he arrived at the dueling dome. The Khan had been considerate to Lyall's other duties and had moved his duel to a time later in the day. Checking the tournament information on his phone, he saw that his opponent would be some snooty looking guy posing with what seemed to be an Archfiend card. 

"Makes for a good picture," Lyall said as he pulled out his own deck, "But not a smart move unless you wanted for people to know what you'd be using. Cocky."

The limo finally arrived at the tournament's building. The dome looked magnificent, somewhat resembling a colosseum due to the statues of monsters and soldiers carved into the structure, and of course that ancient design many other buildings had here. Lyall left for the dome with only his duel disk and deck as his luggage would be taken to his place of lodging. 

"Now then, let's get this out of the way!"

The opponent was already waiting for him at the dueling stage, but he did not look happy. His eyes narrowed in annoyance as soon as he saw Lyall approach the stage.

[i]"I don't know how you did it, but you better have some damn good reason for moving our duel to this hour! I wasn't planning on wasting my time waiting for a duel I'll finish in mere turns!"[/i]

Lyall raised an eyebrow before crossing his arms and shaking his head.

"That's a way to greet your opponent, you're snottier than your profile would let on! Fine then, let me apologize for wasting so much of your precious time by actually making this duel last a few 'mere' turns."

Other than a few more retorts, their duel began soon after, with Lyall taking first turn as a result of a holographic coin flip....

...

All details aside, the Duel did indeed last a few mere turns. Lyall arose the unquestioned victor, having lost literally no life points while basically keeping his opponent's field empty with the help of Moth and Girastag, two fearsome fiends that made the Archfiends seem like nothing. 

[i]"What... how... THAT FAST?!"[/i] 

Lyall chuckled mockingly.

"Of course, you said you were tired of being here so I decided to help you out in leaving. See ya later, and... don't feel bad. You were a decent appetizer."

With that, Lyall haughtily walked off the stage. It would have been cool to linger around the dome and walk around, but seeing as how everything for today was over for now, there was no point. Now was the time to go to wherever it was he would be staying.

...

Lyall was surprised to see his place of lodging would be at the Khan's Hall. He was expecting to stay at a hotel or something but not this. He walked in unnoticed and took an upstairs route, but stopped walking when he heard commotion. It was the grand entrance of the Khan, although Lyall focused more on the other duelists standing there that were completely mesmerized. Their trance was broken by surprise when they witnessed monsters walk in.

"Monsters....? Here without.. or are they just costumes? No... they look to real to be costumes, and by the looks on their faces these are monsters they can 'relate' to..."

He watched a bit more as the Nekroz of Gungnir and Lily physically interacted with their duelists. From the corner of his eye, Lyall saw two familiar red eyes flash, and turned to look at Evilswarm Kerykeion standing upright with only one of its staffs planted in the ground.

"Nice to see you again."

Kerykeion nodded before vanishing. Lyall smirked, it seemed there actually would be more to this whole place, trip, and to the Khan himself than he would have expected. He slinked away into the dark hallways afterwards, deciding to meet the duelists at another time.
