Lightning flashed across the dark sky above as Selina and Druella stood across from each other in front of the castle of Lescatie. Behind Selina were her two comrades, Koga and Matilda, as well as three Shoggoth maids who had their heads bowed. Behind Druella were the Fallen Maidens, the Fallen Knights, and a Mindflayer.
"Druella," Selina began while taking a step toward the White Lilim, "I understand now that we will never see eye-to-eye. No matter how much I may wish it wasn't so."
"I see, Cynthia," Druella shook her head and sighed, "That is unfortunate. I was so hoping to see you join us. You would've made such a wonderful wife to a wonderful man."
Selina shook her head, "Even now, you show why we cannot live together. Which means that there is only one thing left to do."
"Yes, it does," Druella moved her arms out to the sides while Wilmarina and Eva stepped up to her sides. Selina did the same as the two stepped up to her left and right sides.
Selina looked over to Koga and then Matilda, "Neither of you have to do this. This is my fight. No one would blame you if you left me now."
"None save myself," Koga stepped up with his eyes blazing with determination, "I will not stand by and let you face this alone, Good Hunter. Allow me to fight by your side."

Matilda hummed and nodded, "Well said, Koga. I am of the same mind. And, besides, this gives me a chance to try some of the things I learned from my teacher."
"Ah, but I hope you understand, Matilda," Eva began, eyes shining with anticipation, "That even the best teachers must keep some secrets from their students."
"I've been waiting for this," Wilmarina's wings flared out behind her as she glared at Selina, "You have caused enough trouble for Elt and Lescatie. Now, it's time you pay for your deeds."
Selina closed her eyes as her lips curled into a thankful smile, "Thank you. Koga. Matilda. I would be honored to fight by your side."
She opened her eyes and shot a determined glare at Druella. She held her arms out wide as the Shoggoths reached into their bodies...and brought out a deck of brown cards and a Duel Disk. The one on her right attached the Disk to her right arm, while the one on the shuffled Selina's deck then placed it in her left hand. Koga held his right arm up as his Duel Disk appeared in a flash of blue fire, deck already in its slot. Matilda did the same, with her Disk appearing alongside multiple Caryll Runes.
Druella, Wilmarina, and Eva's Duel Disks all appeared in a flash of purple light. Their decks were in their slots, ready for battle.
"Duel Disk set!" Selina and Druella said in unison while holding their right arms out. Caryll Runes shot out from Selina's Disk, while Magic Runes exploded from Druella's. They hit the ground and created two intersecting pocket dimensions. Within this space their cards would become real and the battle would reach new heights.
In unison, all six duelist drew five cards from their decks in one swift motion. All shouted out loud to indicate the beginning of the greatest battle any of them had ever had. Here the fate of Lescatie and Pran woud be decided...
"Let's duel!"
