Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Probationis Vitae ❯ Duel ( Chapter 14 )

Duel

AN: Hey all, sorry for taking so long in writing this. Not only have my teachers been piling on the work, but my family life has been busy too. If I had known how busy I'd be getting soon after the last chapter I'd warned you. But, as an apology I have written two one-shot song fic.'s that I've now published. One is on the anime Sailor Moon, the thing that originally got me into anime, and one is another one-shot side fic for this series set after Trials of Life.

I want to thank those who have waited so long for this chapter, it's dedicated to you. If it weren't for all those reviews I never would've been able to write so much.

You all are the best. I enjoy hearing what you think and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Also note, I suggest that you don't try to do one of these for just fun because the Duel Outline took me several hours, two decks, and eight pieces of paper with information to finish and it ended up being 12 pages long. And note that because of the time it took to make the outline I may have made a few mistakes that will carry over into the story. If I did, please ignore them.

Final note, the rules are those of the game from the Duelist Kingdom series where you don't have to sacrifice to bring out another monster because that would be too much to keep up with. And you will know what Yugi and Selene have, but not what Gekido has.

And here are the symbols:

/.../ is Yugi to Yami.

//...// is Yami to Yugi.

\...\ is Ryou to Bakura.

\\…..\\ is Bakura to Ryou.

^...^ is Malik (hikari) to Marik (yami).

^^...^^ is Marik to Malik.

"~...~" is someone talking on the other end of a phone, walkie-talkie, etc.

Read and enjoy.

~*~*~*~Last time~*~*~*~

Gekido waved his arm in the air, apparently signaling to his men to back down for the time being. Then the High Priestess smiled before closing her eyes. Her body emitted a slight glow before she collapsed. James caught her and handed her to Damien who, along with Yugi and Yami, had run over when he saw her collapse. When she opened her eyes a second later they saw that it was the old Selene again.

It wasn't long before Yugi and Selene had been equipped with Duel Disks (refer to the anime series during battle city if you want to know what I'm talking about) thanks to James and were now standing across from Gekido, Selene equipped with her deck that Yugi had found and brought because of a feeling. It was time for the fate of the whole world to yet again be decided by a single duel.

"Combatants ready," James said, "duel!"

~*~*~*~On with the story~*~*~*~

The standing at the beginning was Gekido with 8000 life points versus Yugi and Selene with 4000 life points each. The turn order was decided by picking up a random card from their decks and the one with the rarest went first, second went second, and the third went third. The turn order ended up being Selene, Yugi, and Gekido.

All duelists draw five cards. Selene draws one card and looks down at her hand. `Cat of Ill Omen, Neo the Magic Swordsman, Wall of Illusion, Earthbound Spirit, The Dark Door, and Aqua Madoor, that's a good start.'

"I lay one card face down in defense mode and end my turn," Selene says and lays down Aqua Madoor (1200/2000).

Yugi draws his card and add it to his hand. `So I have Winged Dragon, Zombie Warrior, Burning Land, Celtic Guardian, Multiply, and I just drew Horn Imp. That's an okay hand.'

"I play Celtic Guardian in face up attack mode and I end my turn," Yugi said and placed Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) in attack mode on his Duel Disk.

Gekido draws and smirked as he saw his hand. "I lay one card face down and then one card in defense mode, next person."

Selene draws another card. `Witch of the Black Forest, good card.'

" Lay one card face down in defense mode, you're turn Yugi," Selene said and laid Wall of Illusion (1000/1850) face down.

Yugi draws. `Mammoth Graveyard, good this might come in handy.'

"Celtic Guardian, attack Gekido's face down card," Yugi said. The image of Celtic Guardian attacked the card to reveal the Mystic Tomato (1400/1100) for a moment before it was destroyed.

"You've activated Mystic Tomato's effect. When it's sent to the graveyard I am allowed to summon one Dark monster from my deck onto the field in face up attack mode." Gekido said and picked up his deck out of the disk, picked out his card, shuffled his deck, and replaced it into his disk. "I choose Marie the Fallen One (1700/1200)."

Gekido draws and his smirk widened. He placed the card in his hand before calling out, "Marie, attack Celtic Guardian."

The image of the black skinned and black winged girl attacked the Celtic Guardian and destroyed it. As a result Yugi's life points dropped to 3700.

Selene draws her next card. `Attack and Receive, good, this'll definitely be good.'

"I activate the magic card Dark Door. This makes it where any player can only attack once per turn. Next I place one card face down and place Witch of the Black Forest (1100/1200) in face up attack mode and I end my turn." Selene called and placed the cards in their respective places on the disk. At the moment Yugi was looking at her as if she was crazy for making that move and Gekido was looking smug. After all, Marie was stronger than Witch of the Black Forest.

Yugi draws the next card. `It's Silver Fang, nothing that I can help Selene with. I hope she knows what she's doing by playing that card.'

"I place one card in face down defense mode and end my turn," he called out and placed Winged Dragon (1400/1200) on the disk.

Gekido draws and his smug look stayed. "I lay one card face down in defense mode and have Marie attack Witch of the Black Forest."

The black angel dove at the purple-haired witch and destroyed it in a second. Gekido looked up, smirking, but frowned when he saw Selene smiling.

"When you attacked I activated my trap card Attack and Receive which causes 700 direct damage to your life points when my life points are damaged. And since the witch goes to the graveyard I am allowed to move a monster with a defense of 1500 or less from my deck to my hand and then shuffle my deck." Selene said, smirking, and Yugi smiled in relief while Gekido almost growled as their life points dropped. His dropped to 7300 and Selene's dropped to 3400.

Selene looked through her deck and pick out Dreamsprite before shuffling her deck and returning it to her disk.

"Now it's my turn," she said and drew. `Upstart Goblin, I'll save that for later.'

"I place one card in face down defense mode and I think I'll end my turn," Selene said before laying Cat of Ill Omen (500/300) in defense mode on the disk.

Yugi drew his card. `Makiou the Magical Mist, this will most likely come in handy.'

"I place one card face down, you're turn Gekido," Yugi said and placed Makiou the Magical Mist face down in the correct place.

Gekido draws. "I place one card in face down defense position before Marie attacks Selene's 3rd face down card."

The black angel attacked the card and the image of a black cat was visible for a moment before it disappeared.

"You've activated my Cat of Ill Omen's special effect. When Cat of Ill Omen is revealed, even if it's just when it's destroyed, I'm allowed to select one trap card from my deck and place it on top of my deck." Selene said. She picked up her deck and flipped through her cards until she came to Just Desserts. `Perfect,' she thought before she placed it on top of her deck and replaced her deck.

Selene drew and, or course, came up with Just Desserts. "I place one card face down and place Dreamsprite (300/200) in face up attack mode, your turn Yugi." She said and laid Just Desserts face down in the magic/trap place and Dreamsprite in face up attack mode on the monster space. Yugi smiled internally when he remembered what Dreamsprite's effect was and understood why Selene did that.

Yugi drew his next card. `Mystical Elf, good that'll help with defense.'

"I place on card in face down defense mode and end my turn," Yugi said and placed Mystical Elf (800/2000) face down on the Duel Disk.

Gekido drew his next card. "I place one card face down in defense mode before activating the magic card Stop Defense. I change Selene's face down defense card to face up attack and have Marie attack."

The image of Aqua Madoor (1200/2000) appeared and Marie destroyed it quickly.

"When you attacked," Selene said before Gekido could say anything, "I activated my trap card Just Desserts. It inflicts 500 points of direct damage to your life points for every monster you have on the field. And since you have four you loose 2000 life points."

Gekido nearly growled in frustration as his life points lowered along with Selene's. Selene's lowered to 2900 and his lowered to 5300.

Selene drew her next card. `Goblin's Secret Remedy, this will be good for later.'

"I place one card in face down defense position and end my turn," Selene said as she placed Neo the Magic Swordsman (1700/1000) in defense position.

Yugi draws his next card, `Good, Gaia the Fierce Knight.'

"I play Gaia the Fierce Knight (2300/2100) in attack mode and have it attack Gekido's 2nd face down card," he said.

The knight attacked the face down card and the image of a blue, armadillo-like creature appeared for a moment before disappearing. Gaia had destroyed the Prevent Rat (500/2000).

Gekido draws. "I place one card face down and have Marie attack Dreamsprite."

Gekido smirked, expecting the blue fairy to be destroyed quickly, but was shocked when Selene called out, "Dreamsprite, deflect the attack onto Wall of Illusions." And indeed Marie's attack was moved to one of the face down cards that was revealed to be Wall of Illusions (1000/1850). The moment Marie attacked it she disappeared and the card was returned to Gekido's hand.

Gekido looked like he was about to shout when Selene interrupted, "When you attacked my Dreamsprite you activated her effect. Whenever she is attacked she has the ability to deflect the attack onto another one of my monsters. I chose Wall of Illusions. Marie attacking Wall of Illusions activated that special effect that stated that whatever monster attacks it is sent directly to the owner's hand and since Wall of Illusion's defense was higher than Marie's offense Wall of Illusions wasn't destroyed. In fact, because of that you're life points were lowered by the difference." And indeed, Gekido's life points had dropped to 5150.

"And now it's my turn," Selene said before she drew her next card. `Toll, that may come in handy later.'

"I end my turn without doing anything," Selene said.

Yugi drew his next card. `Curse of Dragon, that will be good with Gaia later.' "I, too, end my turn."

Gekido drew his next card. "I summon Marie again in attack mode and have her attack Selene's 1st defense card."

Marie attacked the card and the image of Neo the Magic Swordsman (1700/1000) was visible for a moment before it disappeared.

Selene drew her card, `Karate Man, just the card to do the job.'

"I summon Karate Man in attack mode. I use his special effect to boost his attack and defense power to 2000 for one turn before it then goes to the graveyard and have it attack Marie." Selene said.

A man in a yellow gi with a big afro appeared and attacked the fallen angel before disappearing himself. Gekido's life points dropped down to 4850. Instead of looking frustrated like Yugi and Selene expected, Gekido looked happy.

"By sending my Marie the Fallen One to the graveyard you've activated her special effect. As long as she is in the graveyard, I gain 200 life points after each time I draw."

"Fuck," Selene muttered in frustration, she'd never heard of that effect before.

"It's okay Selene," Yugi said before drawing his next card. `Good, it's Black Luster Ritual. I can use this later.'

"I place one card face down before having Gaia attack Gekido's face down card," Yugi said. He placed down Black Luster Ritual onto the Duel Disk and Gaia attacked the defense card.

The image of a strange, machine-like creature was visible for a moment before it disappeared. Gaia had now destroyed Claw Reacher (1000/800).

Gekido drew his next card and his life points raised to 5050. "I place on monster n defense mode and end my turn."

Selene drew her card, still looking upset with herself, `Outstanding Dog Marron. It may not be strong but it can buy time if needed.'

"I place on card in defense mode and end my turn," Selene said and laid Outstanding Dog Marron (100/100) in defense mode.

Yugi drew his card. `Giant Soldier of Stone, good for defense.'

"I place one card in face down defense mode before having Gaia attack Gekido's face down card," Yugi said. He lay Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) face down and watched as Gaia attacked the defense monster.

The image of a green genie, La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp (1800/1000), was visible for a moment before it disappeared, destroyed by Gaia.

Gekido drew his next card and his life points raised to 5250. "I place one card in face down defense mode and end my turn."

Selene draws her next card. `Amazon Archer, this is a good card.'

"I place one card in face down defense mode," Selene said, placing Earthbound Spirit (500/2000)) in defense mode, "and I end my turn."

Yugi drew his next card and thought, `Feral Imp, ok.'

"I attack Gekido's face down card with Gaia," Yugi said. He watched as the knight attacked the card to reveal a small, fishtailed child, Nemuriko (800/700), for a moment before it disappeared.

Gekido draws his next card and his life points increase to 5450. "I place one card face down and one monster face down in defense mode."

Selene drew another card. `Amazoness Spellcaster, good, this'll go with Amazon Archer if I get a chance to do what I want to.'

"I end my turn without doing anything," Selene said as she added Amazoness Spellcaster to her hand.

Yugi drew his next card. `Koumori Dragon.'

"I attack Gekido's face down monster with Gaia," Yugi said, adding Koumori Dragon to his hand.

He watched as Gaia attacked and destroyed the monster the looked like a giant pumpkin and he recognized as Pumpking the King of Ghosts (1800/2000).

Gekido smirked and said, "When you attacked I activated my Enchanted Javelin trap card. My life points are now raised by the attacking monster's attack points." Yugi and Selene watched as his life points rose by 2300 points, bringing it up to 7750.

Gekido drew his next card and his life points rise to 7950. "I summon Dark Jeroid in attack mode and attach Sword of Dark Destruction, making his attack points 1600. Dark Jeroid also allows me to lower the attack of any monster by 800 points until Jeroid is destroyed. I choose to lower the attack power of Gaia the Fierce Knight to 1500. Dark Jeroid, attack Gaia the Fierce Knight."

Yugi winced as he watched Gaia being attacked and destroyed. His life points lowered to 3600.

Selene drew her next card. `Des Koala, this is going to be good.'

"I place one monster in face down defense mode," Selene said and placed Des Koala (1100/1800) on the Duel Disk, "and I'll end my turn."

Yugi drew another card. `Beaver Warrior, ok.'

"I summon Curse of Dragon in attack mode and have it attack Jeroid," Yugi said and watched as his Curse of Dragon (2000/1500) destroyed the ugly blue monstrosity formerly known as Dark Jeroid (1600/1500). Gekido's life points lowered to 7550.

Gekido drew his next card and his life points raised to 7750. "I place Patrician of Darkness in attack mode and attack Wall of Illusions."

They watched as a guy with blue skin and pointed ears, the Patrician of Darkness (2000/1400), appeared and attacked the Wall of Illusions (1000/1850), destroying it, before returning to Gekido's hand.

Selene drew her next card. `Man-Eater Bug, oh this is good.'

"I flip Des Koala into face up attack mode, which activates its effect. For each card in your opponent's hand, they loose 400 life points. Since you have five cards, Gekido, you lose 2000 life points." Selene said. She flipped over her card to reveal a koala bear and Gekido's life points dropped to 5750.

Yugi drew another card. `Horn of the Unicorn, this'll be good for emergencies.'

"Curse of Dragon attack Gekido directly," Yugi said and watched as the image of his dragon attacked Gekido directly, lowering Gekido's life points to 3750.

Gekido scowled and, after pushing his snow-white hair back into place from where it had flown around slightly, drew his next card. His life points rose to 3950. "I put one card face down and summon Patrician of Darkness. Patrician of Darkness, attack Des Koala."

The watched as Patrician of Darkness attacked Des Koala, destroying it. Selene's life points lowered to 2000.

Selene drew another card. `Book of the Moon, too bad I didn't get this one turn sooner, I could've at least kept from loosing life points.'

"I place one card in face down defense position," she said and laid Man-Eater Bug (450/600) face down on the Duel Disk.

Yugi drew his next card. `Monster Reborn, good I'd better save it for later.'

"I place one card face down in defense mode and end my turn," he said as he laid Koumori Dragon (1500/1200) face down on the disk.

Gekido drew another card and his life points raised to 4150. "I place one card face down and end my turn."

Selene drew her next card. `D.D. Crazy Beast, yes! Now I just need the cards to power this sucker up.'

"I end my turn without doing anything," Selene said, adding D.D. Crazy Beast to her hand.

Yugi drew his next card. `Magical Hats, this is a good card but it would be better if I could get the Dark Magician.'

"I end my turn," Yugi said, placing the Magical Hats in his hand.

Gekido drew another card and his life points raised to 4350. "I place one card face down and end my turn."

Selene drew another card. `Cat's Ear Tribe, this card won't do me much good.'

"I place one monster card face down and end my turn," Selene said, placing Amazon Archer (140091000) face down in defense mode.

Yugi drew his next card. `Mystical Moon, well it might come in handy.'

"I place one card face down and end my turn," Yugi said, placing Mystical Moon face down on the disk.

Gekido drew his next card and his life points raised to 4550. "I place one monster face down in defense mode and end my turn."

Selene drew another card. `Malevolent Nuzzler, good, one card that I need down.'

"I place one card face down. I also flip Amazon Archer into attack mode and use her special effect to sacrifice her and Outstanding Dog Marron and inflict 1200 direct damage to Gekido's life points." Selene said, and they watched as she flipped a monster card to reveal a female archer for a moment before her and another card both disappeared. Gekido's life points lowered to 3350.

Yugi drew another card. `Brain Control, I'd better save that for later.'

"I place one card face down and end my turn," Yugi said as he placed Brain Control face down onto the Duel Disk.

Gekido drew the next card and his life points raised to 3550. "I place one card in face down defense position and end my turn."

Selene drew her next card. `Baby Dragon, crap, not what I needed.'

"I end my turn without doing anything," Selene said as she placed Baby Dragon in her hand.

Yugi drew his next card. `Black Luster Soldier, well, I guess this is as good a time as any.'

"First I activate Black Luster Ritual and Sacrifice Winged Dragon and Koumori Dragon to summon the Black Luster Soldier. Black Luster Soldier, attack the Patrician of Darkness." Yugi said. They watched as the ritual card activated and two of the defense cards we're used to summon the Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500).

Black Luster Soldier attack Patrician of Darkness but, to Selene and Yugi's surprise, the attack was deflected onto a defense creature which was revealed to be Spear Cretin (500/500). Spear Cretin was destroyed.

"You didn't know about Patrician of Darkness's special ability, did you? Patrician of Darkness allows me to choose the target of my opponents attack. And since you destroyed Spear Cretin we all get to choose a monster form the graveyard and summon it in face up attack or face down defense mode." Gekido said, smirking. Gekido picked Dark Jeroid in face up attack position , lowering Black Luster Soldier's attack by 800, and Yugi chose Gaia in face down defense position while Selene chose Cat of Ill Omen and also put it in face down defense position.

Gekido drew his next card and his life points raised to 3750. "I place one monster in face down defense position and end my turn."

Selene drew her card and, as she did that, Gekido activated his trap card Coffin Seller. This card made it where every time Yugi or Selene had a monster sent to the graveyard they would lose 300 life points. Selene scowled and looked at the card she drew. `Jigen Bakudan, well, only as a last resort.'

"I end my turn without doing anything," Selene said and placed Jigen Bakudan in her hand.

Yugi drew his next card. `Eye of Truth, it would come in handy if it didn't let the other person gain 1000 life points if we saw a magic card was in their hand.'

"I end my turn," Yugi said, adding Eye of Truth to his hand.

Gekido drew his next card and his life points raised to 3950. "I place Koumori Dragon in face up attack position. They I activate Curse of the Masked Beast and sacrifice Koumori Dragon and Lava Battle Guard to bring out Masked Beast. Masked Beast, attack the card farthest from Selene's Dreamsprite."

They watched as the newly laid down Koumori Dragon disappeared along with one of the defense monster. In their place came a truly ugly beast. More ugly than the Dark Jeroid even. It was the Masked Beast (3200/1800). It destroyed Selene's card to reveal a black cat for a moment before it disappeared. As before, Selene picked up her deck, chose a trap card, placed it on top of her deck, and placed it back into its holder. Also, as a result of Coffin Seller, Selene's life points lowered to 2700.

Selene drew the card she had just placed on top, Bad Reaction to Simochi.

"I place two cards face down and end my turn," Selene said, placing Bad Reaction to Simochi and Upstart Goblin face down on her Duel Disk.

Yugi drew his next card. `Beaver Warrior, that won't help much.'

"I change Black Luster Soldier and Curse of Dragon to defense mode and I end my turn," Yugi said, turning the two cards sideways on his Duel Disk.

Gekido drew another card and, before his life points could rise Selene activated Bad Reaction to Simochi. That meant that any effect increasing Gekido's life points would, instead, decrease them. This meant that his life points decreased to 3750. Gekido scowled as he said, "Masked Beast attack the Black Luster Soldier."

They watched as the Black Luster Soldier was destroyed by the Masked Beast, causing Yugi's life points to drop to 3300.

Selene drew another card. `Reliable Guardian, nothing I need.'

"I activate the magic card Upstart Goblin. It allows me to draw one card and my opponent gains 1000 life points, but since Bad Reaction to Simochi is in effect it decreases my opponent's life points by 1000." Selene said. She drew the next card in her deck, Forgiving Maiden, and Gekido's life points dropped to 2750. "Now, I place one monster in face down defense mode and end my turn."

Yugi draws the next card. `Horn of Heaven, I don't think I'll need that.'

"I place one card face down and end my turn," Yugi said as he placed Eye of Truth face down on the Duel Disk.

Gekido drew and Yugi instantly activated Eye of Truth. Gekido's life points first dropped to 2550 because of Marie and then he had to show them his hand and his life points dropped to 1550 because he had a magic card in his hand.

"Masked Beast, attack the monster beside Selene's Dreamsprite," Gekido said.

Selene smirked as the Masked Beast attacked, revealing the face down defense card to be Man-Eater Bug. Both the Man-Eater Bug and the Masked Beast were destroyed because of Man-Eater Bug's special effect. Because of Coffin Seller Selene's life points dropped to 2400.

Selene drew her next card. `Gryphon Wing, by the looks of thing I definitely won't be needing this thing.'

"I play the magic card Goblin's Secret Remedy and choose to increase my life points by 600 point," Selene said and her life points rose to 3000.

Yugi drew his next card. `Dark Magician, this is good. This may be exactly what I need to beat this loser. But I think I'll wait before placing it down.'

"I change Curse of Dragon back to attack mode and have Curse of Dragon attack Dark Jeroid," Yugi said as he put Dark Magician into his hand.

The attack was deflected to Gekido's only defense monster thanks to Patrician of Darkness. When the attack hit, the Giant Germ (1000/100) was revealed before it disappeared. Because of Giant Germ's special effect, Yugi's life points went down to 2800 after it was destroyed.

Gekido drew his next card and panicked as his life points went all the way down to 350 because of the combined effects of Marie the Fallen One, Eye of Truth, and Bad Reaction to Simochi.

"I play Dark Hole," Gekido said, flipping one of his face down magic cards over. Instantly all the monsters on the field were destroyed and Yugi and Selene's life points dropped. Yugi's dropped to 2500 and Selene's dropped to 2700. "Then, I place three cards face down and place 13th Grave in attack mode. 13th Grave, attack Yugi directly." Yugi winced slightly when 13th Grave (1200/900) attacked him and his life points dropped to 1300.

Selene drew her next card. `Good draw, it's Graceful Charity.'

"I activate Graceful Charity and draw three cards and discard any two from my hand," Selene said, and she did just that. She drew Heavy Storm, Armed Ninja, and Malevolent Nuzzler and discarded Amazoness Spellcaster and Gryphon. "Finally, I place one monster face down in defense mode and one card face down. I end my turn." `Yugi should finish this jackass off. If I know him, he has something ready to do just that.'

Yugi smirked as he drew another card. He knew what Selene was thinking. His card was Mystic Box, not that he'd need it now.

"I play Dark Magician in attack mode. Dark Magician, attack 13th Grave." Yugi said. They watched as Dark Magician dealt the final blow. He destroyed 13th Grave and, in the process, wiped out the rest of Gekido's life points.

"And the winners are Yugi and Selene!" James called from where he was standing, causing all the duelists to jump. They had forgotten that they had an audience.

"Good job Yugi, Selene!" Damien said, smiling, as he rushed over to where the two were, Yami close behind. Yugi and Selene both smiled before Selene's smile faded and she collapsed into Damien's arms.

"Selene," Yugi said, worried, "are you okay?"

"Yes, I'll be fine, just a little tired. I think the energy boost the Priestess gave me finally wore out." She said before closing her eyes and falling fully against Damien, unconscious.

Suddenly they were interrupted by not only slightly insane laughter coming from the white haired man behind Yugi.

"You think this is over? Well, I may not have gotten what I wanted, but I will at least take you and you're friends down with me." Gekido said and pulled out a remote looking device with a number pad in the center. He hit three numbers and closed it. Suddenly they heard a voice echoing through the building.

"Everyone evacuate the building. Restraints on the localized entrance to the Realm of Nightmares will be released in fifteen minutes. Repeat, restraints on the localized entrance to the Realm of Nightmares will be released in fifteen minutes." The robotic voice intoned.

"Now everyone here will be sucked into the Nightmare Realm and it won't matter that I don't have the book!" Gekido said, insane laughter continuing.

Yugi, Yami, Damien, and James looked at each other. One thought running through their minds. `We have to get everyone out of here.'

AN: Please read and review. And now that I'm done with the duel and am actually writing just the story part again, the parts should come out faster. But I guess that that all depends on how nice my teachers are. Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was definitely the longest yet. 5075 words total in just the story and 5730 word in the whole damn thing.
