The Secret Girl's Duel Club

On the third floor of the local mall, Lyra was facing a mysterious person in a black cloak and was on the brink of defeat against them.

“ Now to finish you Number 17 Leviathan Dragon attack Lyra directly. Leviathan Dragon unleashed a blast of blue energy with black lightning emanating from it and nailed Lyra with enough power to scatter her deck all over the place and send her favorite card falling over the railing.

Mystery Duelist: 4000
Lyra Heartstrings: 0
WINNER: Mystery Duelist

The mystery duelist than grabbed Lyra and took off with her. As soon as Silver heard the explosion caused by the duel he saw the smoke on the third floor and rushed over to see what it was. Just as he was running a falling card got his attention and he caught it only to look worried after seeing what card it was.

“ This is Mozarta but if it came from up there than that means, oh no,” Silver said as he ran faster only to arrive at an empty space.

Silver ran back to his car to look for Lyra.

After hours of searching with no such luck, it started to rain and Silver returned home frustrated with himself. Silver’s mom assured him everything will be fine.

The next day Silver was staring over Lyra’s Mozarta trying to think on what to do until Silver’s Butler came in.

“ Master Chance your presence is requested in the foyer there is someone here to speak with you,” The Butler said.

Silver went into the foyer and saw Indigo Zap beaten and bruised.

“ Indigo what happened? You look like you been fighting an army all afternoon,” Silver asked.

“ That is exactly what I have been doing Cinch is back and she is more powerful than ever,” Indigo replied.

“ I thought we saw the last of her at the first stage of the Selection Tournament?” he said.

“ I thought so too but she is back and has your teammates under her control,” she said making Silver furious. Silver slammed the table in front of him with so much fury he almost broke it.

“ Woah Silver chill out this is not like you where is the calm and collective boy who plans his moves to the last letter?” she asked with a hint of fear.

“ Please forgive Silver he has been this way since Lyra disappeared,” Ruby said.

“ With a relationship as strong as theirs I don,t blame him,” Indigo said.

Silver calmed down enough to try and think of something.

“ Ok, Indigo you said Cinch is behind this where is she?” he asked.

“ She and her army reside in the Queen’s Tower in the newly rebuilt part of the city,” Indigo replied.

“ Do you mean the run-down part of the city where the homeless people live?” he asked.

“ It used to be now it’s called the Neo Heartland District,” Indigo replied.

“ Thanks for the info Indigo now if you excuse me I have some teammates to rescue,” Silver said before Indigo stopped him.

“ Hold it, Silver I forgot to mention the Queen’s Tower is a women’s only building A guy like you won,t even be able to get through the front door,” she said.

“ Well, what do you expect me to do find a girl to fight for me?” he asked.

“ You may not have to,” Ruby said.

“ Do you have a plan mom?” he asked.

“ I do but you may not like it,” she said.

Ruby explained that they are most likely going to be on the lookout for a boy with crimson hair and a destruction sword deck and her suggestion was to turn Silver into a girl. At first, Silver was reluctant but after thinking about the stakes he agreed to Ruby’s plan.

“ Be honest how much is this going to hurt?” Silver asked.

“ The price of beauty is painful but I know you can take it If you can take a buster sword to the chest some waxing and eyebrow shaping will not kill you,” Ruby pointed out.

While Ruby was working on Silver Sunset comes in looking for him only to find Indigo.

“ Indigo what are you doing here and where is Silver?” Sunset asked.

“ I came to warn Silver about Cinch and I assume you are here to do the same,” Indigo asked.

“ I have she took two of our acquaintances,” Sunset replied.

“ Well Silver is getting ready to infiltrate and get his teammates back,” Indigo said.

As they were discussing things Ruby comes out excitedly.

“ May I present Turquoise Dusk,” Ruby said as Silver came out nervously wearing an ice blue minidress with a matching bolero jacket and boots and long light green hair secured with a black hairband with a black ruffle side bow but what was most noticeable was Silver’s element covered in a charm bag.

“ Looking good there Silver,” Indigo said trying to contain her laughter.

“ Laugh if you must but I like it,” he said.

“ So do I you look like the daughter I always wanted,” Ruby said.

“ Not to ruin your plan but what if they expect Silver to take his clothes off?” Sunset asked referring to his massive battle scar.

“ I have that covered Silver is wearing a women’s full-body shaper under his clothes so if they ever strip him his scar will be hidden and luckily for him I had one that matched his complexion perfectly,” Ruby replied.

“ Ok Silver has the disguise down now what are we going to do about his duel disk and deck?” Sunset asked.

“ He can borrow mine,” Indigo offered.

“ That is nice of you Indigo but won,t they recognize it as well?” he asked.

“ Not really the moment I found out that this girl’s duel club was being managed by Cinch I ran before I could duel since I no longer want anything to do with her,” Indigo said.

“ I don,t blame you, I always said she was a vile woman,” Bullet said as he walked in with an ice blue duel disk.

“ Did you make the mods I asked for?” Ruby asked.

“ I sure did, Silver please be careful you’re entering a dangerous place if Cinch catches you we may never get you back,” Bullet said while hugging Silver.

Silver activated the duel disk and saw a pink wing-shaped blade come out and a feminine field display on his screen. With Silver’s disguise now complete, he set off for the Queen’s Tower to get his teammates back.

Silver arrived in front of the Queen’s Building and was greeted by a woman dressed as a secretary.

“ Are you here to join the Secret Girls Duel Club?” The women asked.

“ I am,” Silver replied in his best girl voice.

The woman took Silver to the top floor field to prove his duel skills. As soon as they arrived on the top floor Cinch along with all eight of the girls she controlled were discussing something.

“ I see we have another recruit,” Cinch said while eyeing up Silver.

“ The name is Turquoise Dusk,” Silver said.

“ Well Turquoise let's see what you got, Wallflower you're up first,” Cinch said as a girl with light green skin, ivy green hair, wearing a striped sweater with jeans took her position on the field.

Silver took his position and activated his duel disk.

DUEL
Turquoise Dusk:4000
Wallflower Blush: 4000

“ The first move is mine,” Wallflower said before pulling a card from her hand.

“ To start things off I activate the Field Spell Flower Kingdom. The entire room was replaced with a lush field full of flowers along with a castle made of grass and flowers in the horizon. As long as this card is in play all my plant Type monsters gain 400 attack points but that's just its first effect its second effect allows me to Special Summon a Plant-Type monster from my hand once per turn so welcome to the field Tytannial, Princess of Camellias. A red camellia flower bloomed onto the field and then transformed into a woman wearing grass-like clothes.

Tytannial, Princess of Camellias
LV:8
ATK:2800 + 400 = 3200

“ I set two cards face-down and end my turn now let's see what you're made of new girl,” Wallflower said as two set cards appeared behind her monster.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver already looked confused until he saw something he could use.

“ First Since I have no monsters on my field I can Special Summon Photon Thrasher in attack mode.

Photon Thrasher
LV:4
ATK:2100

“ I activate the Trap Summit of the Four Seasons,” Wallflower said as a trap with an image of the four (Plant Princesses) sitting at a table discussing stuff flipped face up. When you Summon a monster and I control one of the four Plant Princesses this card allows me to Special Summon the other three from my Hand or Deck so from my Deck I summon Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms, Marina, Princess of Sunflowers, and Chirubime, Princess of Autumn Leaves. Three more flowers bloomed onto the field and transformed into three women each one representing one of the four seasons.

Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms
LV:8
ATK:2800 +400 + 400 = 3600

Marina, The Princess of Sunflowers
LV:8
ATK:2800 + 400 = 3200

Chirubime, The Princess of Autumn leaves
LV:8
DEF:2800

“ Moving on since I control a photon monster I special Summon Photon Advancer from my hand. A warrior with photon energy coursing through him landed on the field and pounded his fists together.

Photon Advancer
LV:4
ATK:1000 + 1000 = 2000

“ Did I mention Advancer gains 1000 attack points while I control another Photon Monster but these two won,t be sticking around because I tribute them both to Summon something more powerful. Both of Silver’s Monster vanished and a giant red shuriken appeared in Silver’s Hand before he threw it into the air.

“Here comes a creature more savage than a supernova! Watch as he destroys all that oppose him! Behold, my Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!” Galaxy-Eyes Photon appeared and unleashed a mighty roar.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ Impressive Monster however while Chirubime is out your only allowed to attack her,” Wallflower said.

“ Well, then that is exactly what I will do Galaxy-Eyes attack Chirubime with Photon Stream of Destruction. Galaxy-Eyes unleashed its attack. Just when Silver thought it was going to hit Wallflower activated her set card.

“ I activate the Trap Wall of Thorns when one of my Plant-Type monsters is targeted for an attack this trap destroys all monsters you have in attack mode. A wall of thorny vines erected in front of the attack and blocked it then wrapped around Galaxy-Eyes before crushing it and destroying it.

“ I set two cards Face-Down and End my turn,” Silver said as two set cards appeared.

“ My turn I draw,” Wallflower said as she drew her second card. Wallflower suddenly had a number appear on her left hand as she made her move.

“ Time for your real test new girl I overlay my Level Eight Tytannial, Marina, and Chirubime in order to build the overlay network. Chirubime turned into a stream of orange energy while Tytannial turned into a green stream and Marina turned into a red stream which all three orbited around each other before entering a galaxy-like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty queen of the four-season blooming elegantly in the moonlight come to my side and bring me victory in this fight! Xyz Summon! Bloom! Number 87 Queen of the Night!

A pink rosebud appeared before blooming and then a woman with white skin, long pink hair, and black armor with a red 87 on her abdomen sprouted out of the center and drew her blade for battle.

Number 87 Queen of the Night
RANK:8
ATK:3200 + 400 = 3600
UNITS:3

3600 - 200 = 3400

“ Impressive monster,” Silver said.

“ If you think this is impressive just watch her effect go into action once per turn by detaching one overlay unit I can use one of three effects and I will go with her first effect I target one set spell/Trap you control and while my Queen is on the field you can,t activate it and I will target the one on the left. Queen of the night absorbed one of her units into her hand and sent a wave of cold air that froze Silver’s set card.

3 - 1 = 2

“ Now its time to battle Queen of the Night attack Turquoise directly with Chilling Night Strike. Queen of the Night readied her blade and threw it at Silver like a boomerang. Before the attack could land Silver used his other set card.

“ I activate the Trap Galaxy Reborn,” Silver said as a trap with an image of a big bang flipped face up. During the Battle Phase, this card allows me to Special Summon a Level five or higher Galaxy Monster from my GY in attack mode and forces you to attack that same monster so welcome back Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Galaxy-Eyes reemerged from a portal and prepared to fight.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ If I must attack Galaxy-Eyes then I will. The attack resumed and Silver smiled.

“ Now I activate Galaxy-Eye’s effect when it battles a monster both it and that monster are banished. Both Galaxy-Eyes and Queen of the Night left the field and the ice on Silver’s other card thawed.

“ And now that my other face-down is free I activate it the Quick-Play Spell Burial from A Different Dimension this allows me to return up to three banished monsters to the GY so Queen of the Night goes to your GY. A portal opened up above Wallflower and a light went into her GY.

3400 - 100 = 3300

“ Don,t think your safe just yet because I still have my Talaya who will attack you Directly with Cheery Blossom Mist. Talaya unleashed a massive gust of Cherry Blossom from her fan and Silver tried to keep the wind from blowing his skirt up.

Turquoise Dusk: 700
Wallflower Blush: 4000

“You're in for it now because when I take Battle Damage I can discard my Galaxy Wanderer to banish the monster that attacked me. A portal opened up above Talaya and a hand made of energy grabbed her and pulled her in.

“ Fine I end my turn,” Wallflower said.

“ And now that the Battle Phase is over Galaxy-Eyes returns and since it battled an Xyz Monster it gains 500 attack points for each overlay unit. Galaxy-Eyes returned and gained more power.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000 + 1000 = 4000

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his card. Silver decided now was the time to end this.

“ Galaxy-Eyes end this. Galaxy-Eyes unleashed its signature attack and sent Wallflower flying while at the same time Silver absorbed her Number monster without anyone knowing.

Turquoise Dusk: 700
Wallflower Blush: 0
WINNER: Turquoise Dusk

“ Not bad Ms. Turquoise but can you handle your next opponent?” Cinch asked as a creme colored girl with blue eyes framed with purple glasses, green hair set in twin tails wearing a blue shirt under a purple jacket and a black skirt with purple dots at the bottom.

“ I’m Juniper Montage and don,t think you can beat me so easily,” Junipher said as she prepared to duel.

Sci Fi Vs Horror

Last time on Yugioh EG

Girls have been mysteriously vanishing and Lyra became the latest victim. Silver after finding Lyra’s ace monster was really angry he could not save her. Just when all hope seemed lost a bruised and Beaten Indigo came with some bad news. After hearing about Cinch's return Silver adamant to save his teammates became Turquoise Dusk. Now armed with Indigo’s deck defeated the forgetful Wallflower Blush and is about to take on Juniper Montage. Will Silver win or will this be his final curtain call stay tuned and find out.

Before the duel began Juniper took some pictures with her duel disk and then developed them instantly before showing them to Silver.

“ Looks like this will be the end of the line for you because on the sixth turn your numbers will be all mine,” Juniper said before getting ready to duel and both players drew their opening hands.

DUEL
Turquoise Dusk:4000
Juniper Montage:4000

“The first move is mine,” Silver said before looking over his hand. Silver looked confused until he saw his move manifest before him.

“ First I summon Overlay Sentinel in attack mode. A man wearing silver futuristic armor with a rifle to match landed on the field.

Overlay Sentinel
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ When my Sentinel is Normal Summoned he switches to Defense mode. Sentinal lowered his rifle and kneeled down on his knees awaiting Silver’s orders.

Overlay Sentinel
LV:4
DEF:0

“ Next since I control a monster with 2000 or more attack points I can Special Summon Overlay Booster in Defense Mode. A man wearing red armor with a solar panel on his back took up a defensive position next to Sentinel.

Overlay Booster
LV:5
DEF:0

“ As much as I would love to bring out Galaxy-Eyes I can,t yet so I will end my turn with one card face-down,” Silver said as a set card appeared behind his monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Juniper said as she drew her sixth card. Juniper had her plan set and proceeded to make her move.

“ First I activate the Field Spell Pandemonium. The entire field transformed into the inside of a Monster’s stomach.

“ What’s with the creepy stomach?” Silver asked.

“ Well, first I no longer have to pay any Life Points for keeping an Archfiend Monster out as for the second effect wait and see,” Juniper said before pulling another card from her hand.

“ Next I summon Infernalqueen Archfiend in attack mode. A Demon woman wearing a purple dress with bone armor appeared and unleashed a light scream.

Infernal Queen Archfiend
LV:4
ATK:900

“ And since I control an Archfiend Monster I can Special Summon Terrorking Archfiend in attack mode. A demon wearing a crown flew down and stabbed his sword in front of him waiting for battle.

Terrorking Archfiend
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ Now to rid the field of your monsters Infernal Queen attack Overlay Sentinel with Inferno blast. Infernal Queen unleashed a blast of fire. Just as the blast came close Silver reacted.

“ I activate the Trap Gravity Crush,” Silver said as a Trap with an Image of a warrior being crushed beneath heavy gravity flipped face up. When one of my Monsters is targeted for an attack I can target the attacking monster and switch it into Defense Mode. As the gravity around Infernal Queen began to change Juniper countered with her own move.

“ You just triggered my Queen’s effect when she is targeted by my opponent I can spin the roulette of fate to try and stop it. Six orbs with numbers on them appeared out of the stomach acid in the center of the field and the one orb was set on fire.

“ So you're relying on luck,” Silver asked.

“ Sure am if this Roulette stops on a two or five your trap is negated and my attack continues. The flame went from one orb to another until it stopped on five and destroyed Silver’s Trap and the attack incinerated Overlay Sentinel.

“ Now Terrorking attack Overlay Booster with Locust Storm Barrage. Terrorking opened his chest and sent a swarm of locust to cover Overlay Booster and devour him.

“ With that, I set one card Face Down and end my turn,” Juniper said as a set card appeared behind her monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his third card. Silver felt like if he let Juniper keep her monsters around he will be done for and luckily drew something good.

“ I activate my own Field Spell Photon World. A blue asteroid orbiting around the rings of Saturn appeared beneath everyone while the stomach still remained on Juniper’s side of the field.

“ When I Normal or Special Summon a Photon monster any players without one takes 100 points of damage equal to the summoned monster’s Level and Speaking of Photon Monsters since I don't have any I special Summon Photon Thrasher in attack mode. Photon Thrasher appeared and ready his sword and as soon as he arrived a bunch of meteorites rained down on Juniper inflicting 400 points of damage.

Photon Thrasher
LV:4
ATK:2100

Turquoise Dusk:4000
Juniper Montage:3600

“ Big deal 400 points is nothing,” Juniper said.

“ Who said that was all next I activate the Spell Star Trade this allows me to draw one card for every two levels all our monsters have so since the combined total is twelve I can draw six cards. Silver drew his six cards and smiled at what he drew.

“ And it looks like the pain will keep on coming Becuase next I Special Summon Photon Vanisher in attack mode. A man wearing futuristic armor along with a futuristic blaster appeared and took aim at Juniper.

Photon Vanisher
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ When Vanisher is Special Summoned I can add Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from my Deck to my hand. Silver added his card to his hand and then activated his field spell’s effect.

“ Now its time for another 400 points of damage. Another Meteor shower nailed Juniper and damaged her more.

Turquoise Dusk:4000
Juniper Montage:3200

“ Now I tribute both of my monsters To Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Silver threw his shuriken into the air and watched it transform into Galaxy-Eyes.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ And now Photon World deals 800 points of damage to you. More meteors rained down on juniper reducing her points more.

Turquoise Dusk:4000
Juniper Montage:2400

“ Shave away at my points all you want but your toast no matter what,” Juniper said.

“ Nothing is set in stone and to prove it I will have Galaxy-Eyes attack Infernal Queen. Galaxy-Eyes unleashed his attack only for Juniper to counter.

“ I reveal my Trap Cardiac Arrest,” Juniper said as a trap with an image of a man suffering from severe pain flipped face up. I can only activate this Trap while Pandemonium is in play it not only stops your attack but half of your monster’s attack points are inflicted to you as damage. Galaxy-Eyes stopped and felt like it was in severe pain and coughed up crystalized blood on Silver.

Turquoise Dusk:2500
Juniper Montage:2400

“ Let's see you dodge this the Spell Galaxy Hole,” Silver said as a spell with an image of Galaxy-Eyes blasting a black hole appeared. While I control a Galaxy monster I can destroy two monsters on the field so say goodbye to Terrorking and InfornalQueen. Two holes opened up above both monsters.

“ Did you forget about my Roulette of fate if either of them lands on a two or five then I will still have monster left. Twelve orbs appeared and formed two circles the flames spun around and then stopped the one for infernal queen stopped on three and the one for Terrorking stopped on four.

“ Looks like I win this round. Both monsters were sucked in but Juniper looked unfazed.

“ You may have destroyed my queen but my King is going nowhere I discard my Desrook Archfiend to bring Terrorking back from my GY. As soon as Juniper discarded her card Terrorking Archfiend rose back onto the field ready to fight.

Terrorking Archfiend
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ I end my turn,” Silver said reluctantly.

“ My turn I draw,” Juniper said as she drew her second card. Juniper smiled at what she drew and made her move.

“ I sacrifice my Terrorking to Tribute Summon Skull Archfiend of Lightning. A darker version of (Summoned Skull) appeared and unleashed bolts of lightning before taking his place on the field.

Skull Archfiend of Lightning
LV:6
ATK:2500

“ Next I activate my own Star Trade and since the combined levels are now fourteen I draw seven cards. Juniper drew her seven cards and was happy to see he drew some good ones.

“ Next I Activate the Spell King’s Gambit This allows me to Special Summon Terrorking Archfiend from my GY in attack mode with an extra 800 attack points. Terrorking rose from the ground with a stronger sword.

Terrorking Archfiend
LV:4
ATK:2000 + 800 = 2800

“ Next I activate the Spell Archfiend Assemble this allows me to Special Summon two more archfiend monsters from my hand in Defense mode so I will Special Summon two Vilepawn Archfiends in defense mode. Two smaller fiends with swords fused into their left hands appeared and flanked the other two monsters.

Vilepawn Archfiend x2
LV:2
DEF:200

“ When I have one Vilepawn on my field you can't attack any other monsters,” Juniper said before Silver picked up on what she was saying.

“ And with two of them, you just created an attack lock I seen it several times,” Silver said.

“ Well then here is something new I activate the Equip Spell Orb of the Underworld this can only be equipped to a Fiend-Type Monster and it gives that monster an extra 300 attack points for each Fiend-Type Monster I control so with four monsters out that's 1200 attack points. Terror king powered up as a black orb embedded itself into his chest.

2800 + 1200 = 4000

“ Now to end this TerrorKing Attack Galaxy-Eyes with Locust Storm Barrage. Terrorking unleashed another swarm of locusts and just as they were about to reach Galaxy-Eyes Silver reacted.

“ I activate the Effect of Galaxy Child from my hand when One of my Galaxy Monsters is about to be destroyed I can discard this card to negate its destruction. A boy dressed in a Chinese style outfit projected a barrier around Galaxy-Eyes thus saving it from destruction.

“ Yeah well, you still take the damage from my attack. Silver felt the impact of the attack.

Turquoise Dusk:1500
Juniper Montage:2400

“ With that, I end my Turn,” Juniper said.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card.

“ Let me guess that’s Galaxy Expedition,” Juniper said shocking Silver with her surprisingly accurate guess.

“ We reached the fifth turn and here how it goes First you will use Galaxy Expedition to Summon Galaxy Knight then overlay into Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon hoping to break through my wall well it won,t work. Juniper was sure Silver would follow the prediction and watched.

“ First I activate Galaxy Expedition Since I control A level five or Higher Galaxy Monster I can Special Summon a Level Five or Higher Photon or Galaxy Monster from my Deck in defense mode so from my Deck I summon Galaxy Knight in Defense Mode. A knight in silver armor riding a hoverboard flew onto the field and took its position next to Galaxy-Eyes.

Galaxy Knight
LV:8
DEF:2600

Silver thought he was stuck doing exactly what Juniper told him until he saw another option in his hand.

“ I activate the Spell Risky Strike in exchange for letting you draw two cards I destroy all of your monsters. Juniper drew her two cards and then pulled one from her hand.

“ I activate the Effect of Archfiend Vanguard from my hand by discarding this card I can protect one Fiend-Type Monster from destruction so my Skull Archfiend of Lightning is going nowhere. A fiend with a shield appeared and kept Skull Archfiend safe while the rest of Juniper’s Monsters bit the dust.

“ Your lucky on the turn I use Risky Strike I can't attack so I end my turn with one card Face-Down,” Silver shouted to Juniper’s shock about her prediction being wrong.

“ Your still dead and I will prove it,” Juniper said as she drew her third card. Juniper followed her prediction despite the new circumstances.

“ First since I control a Fiend-Type Monster I can Special Summon Archfiend Archer in Attack mode. A fiend with a bow made of bones flew onto the field and took aim.

Archfiend Archer
LV:6
ATK:2000

“ Next I overlay my Level Six Skull Archfiend of Lightning and Archfiend Archer to build the overlay network. Both Skull Archfiend and Archer turned into streams of purple energy that entered a galaxy-like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty lens that photographs the future take form and shows me the demise of my opponent! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 25 Force Focus!

A camera appeared before transforming into an even bigger and stronger one.

Number 25 Force Focus
RANK:6
ATK:2800
UNITS:2

“ Now for Force Focus’s effect by detaching one overlay unit I can Negate Galaxy-Eyes effect so you won,t be using your little escape act as you did with Wallflower. Force Focus absorbed one of its units into its lens and then fired a beam at Galaxy-Eyes thus causing its glow to dim.

2 - 1 = 1

“ And since the monster, I detached was Archfiend Archer you are in more trouble because when Archer is sent to the GY I can destroy one card on the field so say goodbye to your Knight. An arrow was fired out of a portal and destroy Galaxy Knight.

“ Next I activate the Equip Spell Megamorph and equip it on to your Dragon. Galaxy-Eyes began to shrink in size as its attack was cut in half.

3000 - 1500 = 1500

“ You have altered your fate slightly but I will still beat you Force Focus attack Galaxy-Eyes with Money Making Shot. Force Focus sent a beam of light at Galaxy-Eyes and clicked before destroying it. Juniper thought she won but as soon as the smoke cleared Silver was still standing.

Turquoise Dusk:750
Juniper Montage:2400

“ How are you still standing that attack should have finished you?” Juniper asked.

“ I have the Trap Iron Resolve to thank for that by paying half my Life points not only did I reduce the damage to zero but also ended the Battle Phase,” Silver said making Juniper angry.

“ No matter I will just finish you on my next turn so, for now, I end my turn,” Juniper said.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver suddenly saw a new future unfold in front of him with the card he drew.

“ I activate the Spell Message In A Bottle This allows me to Special Summon three monsters from my GY with different Levels So come on back Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Photon Thrasher, and Galaxy Child however their attack is reduced to zero and their effects are negated. All three of Silver’s monsters came back with a vengeance.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000 - 3000 = 0

Photon Thrasher
LV:4
ATK:2100 - 2100 = 0

Galaxy Child
LV:3
ATK:1000 - 1000 = 0

“Let's not forget my Photon World is still in play so now you take 1200 points of damage thanks to my dragon and Thrasher. Juniper was pelted by more meteors as soon as Silver mentioned it.

Turquoise Dusk:750
Juniper Montage:1200

“ So what your monsters may be back but they are useless to you in this state,” Juniper pointed out.

“ Want a bet I activate the Spell Upshift by Targeting my Galaxy-Eyes my other monsters become the same level as him. A light shined around Galaxy Child and Thrasher.

3 + 5 = 8

4 + 4 = 8

“ And now I overlay my level eight Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon with my Photon Thrash and Galaxy Child in order to build the Overlay Network. All three of Silver’s monsters turned into streams of yellow energy and orbited around the center one before entering a black hole like portal and exploding. Then a pike appeared in Silver’s hand.

“Here comes a monster with more fury than ten black holes put together! Watch as he rips your hope to shreds! Xyz Summon! Roar! Rank Eight! Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!” A three-headed dragon made of a deep crimson energy roared fiercely as it flew onto Silver’s field.

Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon

RANK: 8

ATK: 4500

UNITS: 3

“ Now for Neo Galaxy-Eyes’s first effect Photon Howling when Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is used as Xyz Material for this card all other card effects on the field are negated. A pink shockwave ran across the field and shut everything down including Force Focus.

“ You may have stop effect’s on the field but not in my hand so I discard Overlay Supplier to increase my Force Focus’s attack points by 800 for each overlay unit it has since it has one thats 3600 attack points. Force Focus gained strength.

2800 + 800 = 3600

Nice Try I activate Overlay Sentinel's effect from my GY by banishing it I target your monster and it loses 500 attack points for each Overlay Unit my Xyz Monster Has so that 1500 attack points down. The spirit of Overlay Sentinel fired a shot a Force Focus and cracked its lens.

3600 - 1500 = 2100

“ Now to end this Neo Galaxy-Eyes attack Force Focus with Ultimate Photon Stream of Destruction. Neo Galaxy-Eyes unleashed its ultimate attack and destroy Force Focus along with the rest of Juniper’s Life Points.

Turquoise Dusk:750
Juniper Montage:0
WINNER: Turquoise Dusk

Silver took Juniper’s number before she got up with no memory of what happened.

“ Two wins in a row not bad New Girl but can you handle The Great and Powerful Ttttrixie,” Trixie said before a purple puff of smoke appeared and A blue girl wearing a purple magician’s outfit appeared while Juniper was mysteriously moved to the sidelines.

Silver's New Resolve

Last time on Yugioh EG Trixie was putting Silver on lockdown but Silver managed to sneak by it and turn the tables. Just when Silver thought he was home free Trixie summoned her Ace Big Eye and steal Galaxy-Eyes. Just when all hope seemed lost Silver managed to reach what he needed and won and soon afterward his Teammates were pitted as his next opponents in a two on one match. Will Silver win this one or will he end up in the hospital?.

Before the duel started Cinch took a moment to explain the rules of this duel.

“ Since this is a two on one match Turquoise will start with 8000 life points while Lyra and Lightning will each have 4000 and neither player will be permitted to attack until each player has taken a turn. There will be no sharing of strategy and no sharing of cards that are not in play but you may use what is on your partner’s field,” Cinch said before the duel began.

DUEL
Turquoise Dusk:8000
Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Lightning Dust:4000

“ I will start,” Lyra said before pulling a card from her hand. To start things off I activate the Field Spell Xyz Colosseum not only do face-up Xyz Monsters gain 200 attack points but only Xyz monsters are allowed to attack as long as this spell is in play. The entire field was replaced with a wrecked colosseum with broken pillars and gravestones.

“ Next I summon Gimmick Puppet Egghead in attack mode. An orange wooden egg with wooden limbs, a green wig, and a creepy face appeared and then bounced around before taking a bow.

Gimmick Puppet Egg Head
LV:4
ATK:1600

Silver was shocked to see Lyra not using her Melodious Deck.

“ I may not be able to attack during the first turn but I can still Activate Egg Head’s effect by discarding a Gimmick Puppet Monster from my hand I can inflict 800 points of damage to you. Lyra discarded her card and Egg Head opened up and fired a barrage of blasts at Silver.

Turquoise Dusk:7200
Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Lightning Dust:4000

“ With that, I end my turn,” Lyra said.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her sixth card. Lightning looked ready to unleash her ultimate power. First I summon Blackwing Shura the Blue Flame in attack mode. Shura flew onto the field and unleashed a light screech.

Blackwing - Shura the Blue flame
LV:4
ATK: 1800

“ Since I now control a Blackwing Monster I can Special Summon these, Two Bora the Spears. Two Bora the Spears flew onto the field and crossed their lances in front of Shura.

Blackwing - Bora the Spear x2
LV:4
ATK:1700

“ Now that the field is set I overlay my two-level four boras with my level four Shura to build the overlay network. Shura along with both Boras turned into streams of purple energy that entered a galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Dragon that summons the mightiest of thunder come forth and zap my foes to the core! Xyz Summon! Rise! Number 91 Thunder Spark Dragon!

A blue helix appeared and then unfolded into a blue dragon with light yellow wings and a purple 91 on the right side of its head.

Number 91 Thunder Spark Dragon
RANK:4
ATK:2400 + 200 = 2600
UNITS:3

“ As much as I would love to let my dragon tear you and your fancy outfit to shreds I must wait until next turn to do so but for now I end my turn,” Lightning said with a hint of rage.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver looked at his hand and was already stuck. First I activate my own Field Spell Photon World. The sky above the arena was replaced with outer space while the ground turned into blue rock indicating everyone was on one of the meteors that make up Jupiter’s rings.

“ Big deal you changed our surroundings slightly you're still not able to attack,” Lightning pointed out.

“ Maybe but I can still do this I Special Summon Photon Thrasher in attack mode. Photon Thrasher appeared and readied his sword.

Photon Thrasher
LV:4
ATK:2100

“ Now my Photon World’s effect Activates whenever I Normal or Special Summon Photon Monsters you take 100 points of damage times those monster’s levels to any players with no Photon monsters on their field and since Thrasher is level four you two take 400 points of damage. A bunch of Meteors rained down and nailed both Lyra and Lightning thus damaging them.

Turquoise Dusk:7200
Lyra Heartstrings:3600
Lightning Dust:3600

“ Next I summon Photon Crusher in attack mode. Photon Crusher appeared and then spun his club around before taking a fighting stance.

Photon Crusher
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ And my World activates once again so you two take another 400 points of damage. More meteors rained down on Lyra and Lightning thus damaging them again.

Turquoise Dusk:7200
Lyra Heartstrings:3200
Lightning Dust:3200

“ And let me guess this is the part where you summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon?” Lightning said acting like she already knew what Silver was going to do.

“ Not this time Lightning this Time I am going for something different I overlay my Level Four Photon Thrasher and Photon Crusher to build the overlay network. Both Thrasher and Crusher turned into streams of yellow energy and entered a red portal and exploded.

“ Mighty starfaring warrior cloaked in the light of the cosmos descend on to this world and administer justice upon my foes! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank Four! Starliege Paladynamo!

A warrior wearing white armor landed on the field and drew his sword before it started glowing with photon energy.

Starliege Paladynamo
RANK:4
ATK:2000 + 200 = 2200
UNITS:2

“ I end my turn by setting two cards face-down,” Silver said as two set cards appeared behind Starliege.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her third card. Lyra smiled after drawing something good.

“ First I activate Egg Head’s effect by discarding a Gimmick Puppet monster from my hand and can make EggHead level eight. Lyra discarded her card and Egg Head grew to level eight.

4 + 4 = 8

“ Next I activate Dreary Doll’s effect from my GY by banishing another Gimmick Puppet monster from my GY I can special Summon Dreary Doll from my GY so say good-bye to my Scissor Arms. After Lyra banished her card a black box with a red ribbon on it appeared and then opened revealing a doll with blonde hair wearing a pink dress and was wrapped in bandages.

Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll
LV:8
ATK:0

Before Lyra made her next move a yellow fifteen appeared on her hand.

“ Hope you're ready for playtime new girl because I overlay my level eight Gimmick Puppet Egg Head and Dreary Doll to build the overlay network. Egg head turned into a stream of orange energy while Dreary Doll turned into purple energy before both of them entered a galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty strings of insanity take form and sent my foe to hades! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 15 Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!

A huge sphere made of toy parts attached to a controller began to unfold and the gears inside aligned properly before turning into a giant black puppet with a fifteen on its headdress and green eyes.

Number 15 Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder
RANK:8
DEF:2500
UNITS:2

“ Time to inflict some damage I activate Giant Grinder’s effect by detaching one overlay unit I can target one Special Summoned Monster on your field and destroy it and if it was an Xyz Monster you take damage equal to its original attack points and the monster I am destroying is Paladynamo.

2 - 1 = 1

Giant Grinder absorbed one of its overlay units into its headdress and then fired a bunch of strings that attached to Paladynamo then began to pull him closer while opening its chest revealing a wood chipper. As soon as Paladynamo made contact with it he was sent through like a piece of wood and as soon as he was completely mulched a cannon came out and blasted Silver for 2000 points of damage.

Turquoise Dusk:5200
Lyra Heartstrings:3200
Lightning Dust:3200

“ When Paladynamo is destroyed by my opponent’s card effect I can draw one card,” Silver said as he drew his card.

“ Don,t think I am done with you yet new girl because next, I activate the Spell Parasite String,” Lyra said as a spell with an image of Egg Head manipulating a king with strings attached to him appeared. During the turn, A monster was destroyed by a card effect this card brings that monster back to the owner’s field in attack mode. A bunch of strings shot down from the sky and went into a portal then pulled out Paladynamo and hung him like a toy.

Starliege Paladynamo
RANK:4
ATK:2000 + 200 = 2200
UNITS:0

“ Why would you bring my monster back?” Silver asked.

“ Destroying it was so fun and I want to do it again and since Giant Grinder can use its effect twice per turn I can. Giant Grinder absorbed its other overlay unit and repeated what it did the first time until Silver did something this time.

1 - 1 = 0

“ I won't let you I reveal my Trap Xyz Quasar Shield this trap equips onto an Xyz Monster I control and prevents it from being destroyed twice per turn. A medium-sized round black shield with a constellation pattern on it appeared in Paladynamo’s free hand and he used it to block the strings.

“ Fine, I end my turn with one card Face-Down,” Lyra said reluctantly as a set card appeared.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her fourth card. Lightning was annoyed that Silver managed to stop her from using her dragon's effect until she saw something that could help.

“ First I activate Thunder Spark Dragon’s effect by detaching all three of its overlay units I can destroy all other face-up monsters on the field. Thunder Spark swallowed all three of its units before unleashing a powerful pulse of lightning.

3 - 3 = 0

The pulse nailed Giant Grinder and caused it to explode while Silver’s Paladynamo blocked the shockwave which caused half of its shield to break off.

“ Did you forget my Quasar Shield prevents my monster from being destroyed all you did was wipe out your partner’s monster,” Silver pointed out.

“ I remember and I remember you said you can only use that protection twice per turn,” Lightning said before continuing.

“ Next I Summon Blackwing Blizzard the Far North in attack mode. Blizzard flew onto the field and unleashed a light squeak.

Blackwing Blizzard the Far North
LV:2
ATK: 1300

“ When Blizzard is Normal Summoned I can bring back a level four or lower Blackwing Monster from my GY in defense mode so welcome back Blackwing Shura the Blue Flame. Shura leaped out of a portal and took a defensive stance.

Blackwing Shura the Blue Flame
LV:4
DEF: 1200

“ Next I tune my Level Two Blizzard with my Level Four Shura to Synchro Summon a bird that will help me out. Blizzard turned into two stars and then two green rings that encircled Shura and turned him into four stars that fell into alignment.

4 + 2 = 6

“ Mighty bird of prey aim and strike down my foes! Synchro Summon! Take Flight! Level Six! Blackwing Armed Wing!

A Birdman wearing a black mask with metal wings wielding a musket with a blade on the end took flight and landed on Lightning’s Field.

Blackwing Armed Wing
LV:6
ATK:2300

“ I also activate the Spell Blackwing Force,” Lightning said as a spell with an image of Gale the Whirlwind looking intimidating appeared. While I control a Blackwing Monster this forces all monsters on your field in attack mode to Defense mode. Armed Wing unleashed a powerful force that put Paladynamo on its knees.

Starliege Paladynamo
RANK:4
DEF:1000
UNITS:0

“ Next I activate the Equip Spell Xyz Transformation Cloak this treats the equipped monster as an Xyz monster so now my Armed Wing is free to attack. Armed Wing was suddenly coated in a cloak of darkness making it look more deadly.

2300 + 200 = 2500

“ Enter battle Armed Wing attack Paladynamo with Rapid Fire Strike. Armed Wing charged at Paladynamo while glowing.

“ When Armed Wing attacks a monster in defense mode he gains 500 attack points.

2500 + 500 = 3000

Armed Wing fired the blade on the end of his musket at Paladynamo only for him to deflect it and destroy his shield.

“ You may have broken my shield but Paladynamo is still alive,” Silver pointed out.

“ Maybe but my Armed Wing can inflict piercing damage. The blade suddenly boomeranged and nailed Silver in the back.

Turquoise Dusk:3200
Lyra Heartstrings:3200
Lightning Dust:3200

“ Now that your shield is gone time for my Dragon to take a crack at you Thunder Spark Dragon attack Paladynamo with Thunderbolt Rampage. Thunder Spark Dragon summoned a bunch of Thunderbolts which nailed Paladynamo and destroyed him.

“ When Paladynamo is destroyed I draw another card,” Silver said as he drew his card.

“ You are going to need it because next turn your dead but for now I end my turn,” Lightning said.

3000 - 500 = 2500

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card. Silver was cornered until he saw hope in his hand. Before Silver made his move a red 38 mark appeared on his hand as if his desire to save his teammates manifested into a new number monster for him.

“ I activate the Spell Rank Up Magic Freedom Force,” Silver said as a spell with an image of an American Flag with xyz rank stars instead of its usual ones appeared. This not only brings Paladynamo back but also ranks him up into an Xyz Monster whose rank is twice that of Paladynamo as long as it's the same Attribute. Paladynamo came back and then turned into a stream of yellow energy that entered a Galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty Dragon born from the twilight’s last glimmer and the rocket’s red glare take flight and fight for the land of the free and the home of the brave! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Take Flight! Number 38 Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy!

A White core with gold trim and a red 38 mark on it appeared and unfolded into a blue dragon with the white parts as its armor and started flowing with photon energy.

Number 38 Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy
RANK:8
ATK:3000 + 200 = 3200
UNITS:1

“ A number monster impossible where did you get that?” Lightning asked.

“ I just got it but before I go into more detail my Freedom Force has another effect Any monsters you control have their attack reduced to zero until the end phase. A blast of red, white, and blue was fired at Lightning’s field reducing her monster’s attack points to zero.

2500 - 2500 = 0

2600 - 2600 = 0

“ Time to battle Hope Harbinger attack Armed Wing with Galaxy Freedom Burst. Hope Harbinger unleashed a stream of white energy on Armed Wing destroying it and covering Lighting and Lyra’s side of the field in smoke. Silver was sure that attack beat Lightning until Lyra began to laugh creepily. Suddenly the smoke cleared and a face made of gears and clockwork appeared on Lyra’s field.

“ You did not think we would be done playing with you silly girl before your dragon did any damage I activated the Trap Gimmick Box when one of us takes battle damage not only does this trap negate that damage but it also becomes a monster whose attack points are equal to the negated damage. The face absorbed the smoke and began to laugh.

Gimmick Box
LV:8
ATK:3200

“ I set two cards Face-Down and end my turn,” Silver said as two set cards appeared behind his dragon.

0 + 2600 = 2600

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her card. Lyra suddenly looked more insane after a blue 40 mark appeared on her cheek. First, since I control a Level Eight Monster I can Special Summon Gimmick Puppet Clairvoyant Marionette from my hand. A woman who looked like a creepy mannequin with a giant revolver appeared and leaned back creepily.

Gimmick Puppet Clairvoyant Marionette
LV:8
ATK:2000

“ Next I overlay my Level Eight Gimmick Box and Clairvoyant Marionette to build the overlay network. Both of Lyra’s monsters turned into streams of purple energy that entered a galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Heavenly fiend that guides the strings of fate play your requiem of doom and guide my foes to their demise! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 40 Gimmick Puppet of Strings!

Another folded body appeared and unfolded into a warrior with a single wing and harp strings connecting the right side of his body.

Number 40 Gimmick Puppet of Strings
RANK:8
ATK:3000 + 200 = 3200
UNITS:2

“ What do you plan to do with that monster?” Silver asked.

“ You will see soon enough but first since I used Clairvoyant Marionette as Xyz Material for a Gimmick Puppet Xyz Monster I get to draw two cards. Lyra drew her two cards and smiled at what she drew.

“ Time to get rid of that monster of yours and to do so I activate the Spell Bullet String,” Lyra said as a spell with an image of Clairvoyant Marionette shooting a razor-sharp string appeared. While I control A Gimmick Puppet Xyz Monster I can destroy one monster on the field so say goodbye to your Hope Harbinger. Strings fired a white string from his finger at Hope Harbinger only for the string to vanish.

“ What is going on that should have destroyed your monster?” Lyra asked in shock.

“ I never mentioned Hope Harbinger’s effect When you activate a Spell Card or the effect of a Spell card Hope Harbinger can absorb that card and turn it into an overlay unit for itself. Hope Harbinger sucked in Lyra’s Spell card and created a new overlay unit for itself.

1 + 1 = 2

“ You may have dodged that bullet but let's see you dodge this I activate Strings effect by detaching an overlay unit I add one string counter to every monster on the field except for strings himself and during your next end phase all monster’s with string counters are destroyed and you take 500 points of damage for each one. Strings absorbed one of its units into his sword and pointed it at the sky thus opening it up and a bunch of red strings came raining down and attached themselves to all the monsters on the field except for Strings himself.

“ With that, I end my turn,” Lyra said.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her second card. Lightning was disappointed with her draw after seeing she drew a spell card.

“ I have no choice but to end my turn,” Lightning said reluctantly.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver saw his path to victory flash before him.

“ First I Activate my Trap Overlay Surge,” Silver said as a Trap with an image of an xyz monster with its overlay units burning flipped face up. This raises my Hope Harbinger’s attack points by 1000 for each overlay units he has until the End Phase so since he has two that's 2000 attack points. Hope Harbinger unleashed a roar as it grew stronger.

3200 + 2000 = 5200

“ Next I activate the Equip Spell Rocket Wing not only does this give Hope Harbinger another 1000 attack points he can also attack twice. A pair of wings with rockets attached to them appeared on Hope Harbinger’s back which caused him to grow stronger.

5200 + 1000 = 6200

“ Enter Battle Hope Harbinger attack Thunder Spark Dragon with Galaxy Freedom Burst. Hope Harbinger unleashed another breath of white energy and not only destroyed Thunder Spark but the rest of Lightning’s Life points but not before Lightning pulled one last trick.

“ I may be going down but not before taking some of your points with me since I took Battle Damage I can discard Blackwing Jiyū the Brave Wind from my hand to inflict half of that damage to you. As Lightning was sent flying an eagle wearing a top hat charged at Silver leaving a red, White and Blue vapor trail behind it and nailed Silver.

Turquoise Dusk:1400
Lyra Heartstrings:3200
Lightning Dust:0

“ Now attack Gimmick Puppet of Strings. Hope Harbinger unleashed another attack but this one was blue instead of white which not only burned Strings but most of Lyra’s points too.

Turquoise Dusk:1400
Lyra Heartstrings:200

“ Your dead now since you Destroyed my Xyz monster I activate the Trap Superior Necro Xyz this card allows me to immediately Xyz Summon using the destroyed monster along with two monsters in my GY whose levels are equal to the destroyed monster’s rank So I overlay my Gimmick Puppet of Strings with my Dreary Doll and Clairvoyant Marionette in order to build the overlay network. All three of Lyra’s monsters came out of a portal and turned into purple streams of energy and entered a galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty king of beasts watching the destiny of every living creature in this world arise from your throne and render your verdict on my foes! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 88 Gimmick Puppet of Leo!

A giant anthropomorphic lion puppet sitting on his throne appeared and stabbed his sword into the ground while watching Silver.

Number 88 Gimmick Puppet of Leo

ATK:3200 + 200 = 3400
UNITS:3

“ I end my turn and during the End Phase Overlay Surge’s effect ends. Hope Harbinger’s attack points went down by 2000 after Silver mentioned it.

6200 - 2000 = 4200

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her card. Lyra looked at what she drew and went into action.

“ By destroying my Xyz Colosseum I can Special Summon Gimmick Puppet Voodoo Doll from my hand. As the ruins of the colosseum began to crumble a puppet dressed as a shaman landed on the field and looked ready to do something wicked.

Gimmick Puppet Voodoo Doll
LV:8
ATK:2800

3400 - 200 = 3200

4200 - 200 = 4000

“ Why would you destroy your Field Spell?” Silver asked.

“ So I can use Gimmick Puppet of Leo’s effect once per turn if I control no cards in my Spell and Trap zones I can detach one overlay unit to place a destiny counter on him and when he has three of them I automatically win. Leo absorbed one of his units into his sword and caused part of it to glow yellow.

3 - 1 = 2

Destiny Counter: 1

“ Great an instant win condition and just when I thought things couldn't get any worse,” Silver said.

“ Relax I can't conduct my Battle Phase when I use this effect so I end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver needed a way to end this before Lyra’s Leo gained its third counter and saw he drew something he could use.

“ Enter Battle Hope Harbinger attack Gimmick Puppet of Leo. Harbinger unleashed its attack only for Lyra to do something.

“ I activate Voodoo Doll’s effect when one of my monsters is targeted for an attack I can switch the target to this card and you take the battle damage I would have. Harbinger's attack hit Voodoo Doll and Silver felt the pain from it.

Turquoise Dusk:200
Lyra Heartstrings:200

“ No matter My Harbinger can attack twice thanks to Rocket Wing and he will do so. Harbinger unleashed a breath of red energy that not only destroyed Leo but also the rest of Lyra Life points.

Turquoise Dusk:200
Lyra Heartstrings:0
WINNER: Turquoise Dusk

While Silver was absorbing Lyra and Lightning’s Numbers the wind from the explosion blew Silver’s wig off exposing his identity. Everyone was shocked to see that their newest recruit was a boy and the one they were expecting.

“ We were expecting you Silver but I never thought you would go this far,” Cinch said.

“ Enough games Cinch tell me what did you do to my friends?” Silver shouted with the intent to kill Cinch after what she made him do until he noticed that Lyra and Lightning were not wearing their elements.

“ Looking for these Silver,” Cinch said while holding Lyra and Lightning’s elements in her hand.

Silver was about to run up and take them back until Cinch ran off but not before shouting something.

“ Adagio, Aria, Sonata keep Mr. Chance occupied while I deposit the magic into the Spectrometer. The dazzling appeared as instructed and pulled out their duel disks.

“ Oh I have been waiting to do this since I didn't get to fight you last time,” Adagio said while preparing to fight.

Suddenly the door burst open and Indigo rushed in and threw something at Silver.

“ Well you won't get the chance this time either Silver catch,” Indigo shouted.

Silver caught the object which was his real deck. After inserting it into the duel disk he had on he tossed Indigo her deck.

“ Leave these three to me you get your elements back from Cinch before she tries to tear our reality apart,” Indigo shouted.

“ Thanks, Indigo,” Silver said before going after Cinch.

Cinch made it to the roof of the building thinking she escaped from Silver until he busted through the door.

“ How did you get past the Dazzlings so quickly?” Cinch asked frantically.

“ A friend who lent me her strength for this mission tagged in for me now give me back the Elements,” Silver said.

“ You want these back so badly then duel me for them but don,t think you can beat me so easily I studied your matches so there is nothing you can do to surprise me,” Cinch said as she prepared her duel disk.

“ We shall see about that,” Silver said as he prepared his Duel Disk as well.

As soon as Silver ran after Cinch Lyra and Lightning regained their senses and noticed Indigo about to take on the Dazzlings by herself.

“ Hold it three on one seems a bit unfair so Lyra and I will be joining in,” Lightning said.

“ Can you girls even still duel?” Indigo asked.

“ I will once I switch back to my normal deck,” Lyra said as she swapped out the Gimmick Puppet deck she was using for her Melodious Deck.

“ Than you are going to need this,” Indigo said while giving Lyra her Ace monster back.

“ My Mozarta where did you find it,” Lyra asked.

“ Silver found it after you went missing and added it to my deck hoping to bring you to your senses if he drew it,” Indigo said.

A giant tidal wave flooded the room and a representation of Atlantis appeared behind the Dazzlings. While this card is in play all WATER Attribute monsters in both our hands and on our field have their levels reduced by one which makes it easier for me to summon this my Eagle Shark. A shark with six wings by its head and a beak-like face swam onto the field and roared.

Eagle Shark
LV:5 -1 = 4
ATK:1000 + 200 = 1200

“ Did I mention WATER Attribute monsters also gain 200 attack and defense points. Adagio pulled another card from her hand. Since I control Eagle Shark I can Special Summon his friend Panther Shark from my hand. A yellow shark with purple spots swam onto the field and stopped right next to Eagle Shark.

Panther Shark
LV:5 - 1 = 4
ATK:1100 + 200 = 1300

“ Next I activate another Field Spell Lemuria, The Forgotten City. The city behind the Dazzlings began to change into a bunch of white buildings that turned the whole field into a city before rising above the water. With A Legendary Ocean gone my monsters return to their original levels and keep the power boost. Both of Adagio’s monsters glowed as their levels returned to normal.

4 + 1 = 5

4 + 1 = 5

“ Now that the stage is set I overlay my Level Five Eagle Shark and Panther Shark to build the overlay network. Both of Adagio’s sharks turned into blue streams of energy that orbited each other before entering a galaxy like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty ruler of the sea rises from the deep and render your verdict on my foes! Xyz Summon! Rise from the deep! Number 73 Abyss Splash! A sphere made of water surrounded by a blue armored casing appeared and then transformed into a warrior with blue and yellow armor wielding a mighty trident ready for battle.

“ With that, I end my Turn,” Adagio said.

“ My turn I draw,” Indigo said as she drew her sixth card. Indigo looked pleased with what she drew and made her move.

“ First since I control no monsters I can Special Summon Photon Thrasher in attack mode. Photon Thrasher appeared and readied his sword for battle.

Photon Thrasher
LV:4
ATK:2100

“ Next since you control an Xyz Monster I can Special Summon Xyz Gunner from my hand. A futuristic bounty hunter wearing black armor appeared and pointed his blaster at Adagio.

Xyz Gunner
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ Now it’s my turn to Xyz Summon I overlay my Level four Photon Thrasher and Xyz Gunner to build the overlay network. Both Photon Thrasher and Xyz Gunner turned into streams of yellow energy that orbited each other and entered a red portal before exploding.

“ Mighty starfaring warrior cloaked in the light of the cosmos descend on to this world and administer justice upon my foes! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank Four! Starliege Paladynamo!

Paladynamo appeared and readied his sword for battle.

“ Since I used my gunner as Xyz Material his effect now activates I target one Xyz Monster you control and detach all of its Overlay Units so you're Abyss Splash can't use its effect. Abyss Splash’s overlay units suddenly shattered as if they were shot by bullets.

2 - 2 = 0

“ I set one card face down and end my turn,” Indigo said as a single set card appeared behind Paladynamo.

“ My turn I draw,” Aria said as she drew her sixth card. Aria smiled after seeing what she drew.

“ First I activate the Continuous spell Fire Formation - Tensu while this is in play I can Normal Summon a Beast-Warrior Type monster in addition to my primary normal Summon but I will do that later but now since I have no monsters and a Fire Formation Spell out I can Special Summon Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Coyote from my hand. Coyote took his position while his Coyote familiar looked ready to fight.

Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Coyote
LV:5
ATK:2000 + 100 = 2100

“ Next since I control a FIRE Attribute monster I can Special Summon Tiger Warrior in Attack Mode. A white Anthropomorphic tiger wearing gold armor with red trim wielding a flaming battle ax appeared and unleashed a mighty roar.

Tiger Warrior
LV:5
ATK: 2400 + 100 = 2500

“ Two-Level five Monsters? Don,t tell me,” Lighting said.

“ That's right I overlay my Level Five Coyote and Tiger Warrior to build the overlay network. Both Coyote and Tiger Warrior turned into streams of red energy before orbiting each other and entering a galaxy like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty dinosaur forged from the mightiest volcano come forth and reduce my foes to cinders! Xyz Summon! Roar! Number 61 Volcasaurus!

A red volcanic core with two lava spikes on it appeared before transforming into a red and orange dinosaur that unleashed a mighty roar.

Number 61 Volcasaurus

“ Next I will set a monster and then use Tensu’s effect to Normal Summon Brother of the Fire Fist - Hawk in attack mode. An archer wearing Chinese style armor appeared and aimed Indigo while a hawk made of fire appeared behind him.

Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Hawk
LV:3
ATK: 200 + 100 + 500 = 800

“ Hawk’s effect gives all my Fire Fist Monsters an extra 500 attack and defense as long as I control a Fire Formation Spell or Trap and with that, I end my turn,” Aria said.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her sixth card. Lyra was still feeling out of it after her duel with Silver but kept fighting.

“ First I activate the Continuous Spell Valhalla Hall of the Fallen. Lyra’s Bifrost appeared ready to call forth her monster. While I control no monsters this spell allows me to Special Summon a Fairy-Type monster from my hand once per turn so with this effect I Special Summon my Ace, Mozarta the Melodious Maestra. Mozarta slid down the Bifrost and waved her baton ready for battle.

Mozarta the Melodious Maestra
LV:8
ATK:2600

“ I activate Mozarta’s effect to Special Summon Queen of Elysium from my Hand. Queen of Elysium took her position next to Mozarta and began channeling something.

Queen of Elysium
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ When my queen is summoned she allows me to add the Field Spell Land of Salvation Elysium from my Deck to my hand. Lyra added her declared card to her hand before pulling it from her hand.

“ And now I activate Land of Salvation Elysium. Part of the room transformed into a wide field of grass with some trees and Adagio’s ocean being reduced to a pond while her, Aria, and Indigo’s monsters Monsters began to feel afflicted with something. All non-Fairy-Type monsters who dare to stand on this holy land cannot attack and have their effects negated but I am not stopping there Next I overlay my Level Eight Mozarta and Queen of Elysium to build the overlay network. Mozarta and Queen of Elysium turned into streams of yellow energy and entered a red portal before exploding.

“ Mighty queen of the land of fairies render your verdict on my foes and uphold your decree! Xyz Summon! Rise! Rank Eight! Titania the Fairy Queen!

Titania took her position on the field and spun her scythe around ready to fight.

Titania the Fairy Queen
RANK:8
ATK:4500

“ With that, I end my turn,” Lyra said.

“ My turn I draw,” Sonata said as she drew her sixth card. Sonata looked at her options and pulled two cards from her hand. First I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale one Lunalight Wolf and Scale five Lunalight Tiger. Two pillars of light appeared on Sonata’s Field and Lunalight Wolf appeared in the left one over a stylized one while in the right one Lunalight Tiger appeared over a stylized five.

Sonata: ♦1________5♦

“ Now I can Pendulum Summon simultaneous monsters between level two through four all at the same time. Sonata pulled two more cards from her hand before a pink portal opened between Sonata’s scales and two streams of purple light came out. I pendulum Summon my two-level three Lunalight Purple Butterflies in attack mode. Two Purple Butterflies fluttered around each other like they were dancing in mid-air before landing on the field elegantly.

Lunalight Purple Butterfly x2
LV:3
ATK:1000

“ Now it's my turn to call a number so I overlay my two Level three Lunalight Butterflies to build the overlay network. Both Butterflies turned into streams of purple energy then orbited each other before entering a galaxy like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty sea dragon that guards the gates of Atlantis take form and blast my foes with all you got! Xyz Summon! Rise! Number 17 Leviathan Dragon!

A black core appeared and then began to unfold into a blue dragon with black scales and three sets of wings before unleashing a great roar.

Number 17 Leviathan Dragon

“ With that, I end my turn,” Sonata said.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her sixth card. Lightning was getting very impatient and noticed she drew the exact cards she needed to end this quickly. First I activate the Spell Feather of the Raven by discarding a Winged-Beast Type Monster from my hand with 1500 or fewer attack points I can draw two cards so I discard my Blackwing - Kasei the Black Flame from my hand so I draw two cards. After drawing her two cards Lightning saw her strategy manifest before her now all she needed was a whole lot of luck. Sorry Lyra but I must do this I activate the Quick-Play Spell Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Elysium. Lyra’s Field Spell was completely blown away and Adagio’s city expanded again. Now it's time for me to take a huge risk I activate the Spell Lullaby of Obedience by paying 2000 life points I declare the name of a monster card and if my opponent happens to have it in their Deck I can either add it to my hand or summon it ignoring the summoning conditions. Lightning felt like she was hit by a divine force as her life points went down.

Indigo Zap: 4000
Lyra Heartstrings: 4000
Lightning Dust: 2000
Adagio Dazzle: 4000
Aria Blaze: 4000
Sonata Dusk: 4000

“ Now for the person I choose, Sonata I know you have Silver’s Chaos Emperor Dragon Envoy of the End in your Deck so I am taking it back. Sonata was shocked while her whole Deck was on display and the card Lightning declared glowed. Now I summon it to my field. Chaos Emperor Dragon emerged and unleashed its roar.

Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ Now I activate Chaos Emperor Dragon's effect by paying 1000 life points I can send all the cards on the field and in everyone’s hand to the GY and inflict 300 points of damage to my opponent for every card sent to my opponent’s GY by this effect so if my math is correct between the five of you that makes twenty-three cards so everyone but me takes 6900 points of damage.

Indigo Zap: 4000
Lyra Heartstrings: 4000
Lightning Dust: 1000
Adagio Dazzle: 4000
Aria Blaze: 4000

Chaos Emperor Dragon covered the whole room in a massive orange sphere of fire and when the flames cleared the whole field was wiped clean and everyone but Lightning was down to zero life points.

Indigo Zap: 0
Lyra Heartstrings: 0
Lightning Dust: 1000
Adagio Dazzle: 0
Aria Blaze: 0
Sonata Dusk: 0

WINNER: Lightning Dust

After the duel ended Lightning took back Silver’s card and her along with Lyra and Indigo ran for the roof to see how Silver is doing.

“ Next time warn us when you're going to do something that extreme,” Indigo said.

“ Sorry about that but those thieves were stalling us and besides I got Silver’s card back didn't I?” Lightning said.

As soon as they reached the roof they saw Silver in a bind with three number monsters staring him down.

sorry for the wait writing a six-way duel is quite a doozy. As for how Silver ended up in the situation he is in now that will be revealed in the next chapter.

Hatred Rising

Silver and Cinch activated their duel disks and drew their opening hands.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Abacus Cinch:4000

“ Since this is my tower I will start,” Cinch said. Cinch looked over her hand before pulling a single card from it. First I Summon Heraldic Beast Aberconway from my hand in attack mode. A red and white dragon appeared on Cinch’s field ready for battle.

Heraldic Beast Aberconway
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ Next I activate the Spell Heraldry Charge by tributing my Aberconway I can Special Summon Two more Heraldic Beast monsters from my Deck in Defense Mode so say goodbye to Aberconway and from my Deck, I summon two Heraldic Beast Unicorns in Defense Mode. Aberconway vanished into a portal and out of galloped two white unicorns with purple manes and tails along with black armor that then took a defensive stance.

Heraldic Beast Unicorn x2
LV:4
DEF:1600

“ Next I overlay my two-level four Unicorns to build the Overlay Network. Both unicorns turned into streams of yellow energy and entered a galaxy like portal before exploding.

“ Mighty steed that inherits the genes of its adversaries gallop onto the battlefield and assist me in this fight! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 8 Heraldic King Genom-Heritage!”

A mask with yellow hair appeared before it began to transform into a regal looking steed with royal garb and four ponytails and then unleashed its cry.

Number 8 Heraldic King Genom-Heritage
RANK:4

“ Finally I activate the Field Spell Augmented Heraldry. A pink crest appeared and then expanded until both Cinch and Silver were standing on opposite ends of it. As long as this crest is in play Psychic-Type Xyz Monsters on the field cannot be targeted by the effects of Spells and Traps and it has another effect but I will use its other effect later but for now it’s your move.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver looked nervous since he was dealing with something he never saw before and made his move carefully. First I Summon Buster Whelp in attack mode. Buster Whelp appeared ready to help Silver however he could.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ When my Whelp is Normal Summoned he allows me to add a Destruction Sword card from my Deck to my hand so I will attempt to add Dragon Buster to my hand. Silver added his declared card to his hand before continuing his move. Next, I tribute my Whelp to Summon Buster Blader in attack mode. Buster Blader appeared and ready his sword.

Buster Blader
LV:7
ATK:2600

“ Next I activate the Spell Soldier Cloning,” Silver said as a Spell with an image of a scientist experimenting on a man appeared. While I control a face-up Warrior-Type monster I target that monster and this card becomes a Warrior-Type monster with the same Attack, Defense, And Level as the targeted monster. An explosion occurred on the field and out of it came an exact copy of Buster Blader with red armor.

Soldiers Cloning
LV:7
ATK:2600

“ Next I overlay my Buster Blader and Shouldier’s Cloning to build the Overlay Network. Both of Silver’s monsters turned into streams of energy Buster Blader being orange and Souldier’s Cloning being green and entered a galaxy like portal before exploding.

“ Mighty seer of the future bend those who see into your mighty pupil to your will and my side! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 11 Big Eye!”

Big Eye appeared and looked right at Cinch as if it were looking into her soul.

Number 11 Big Eye
RANK:7
ATK:2600
UNITS:2

“ How did you get a hold of Big Eye that belonged to ms. Lulamoon?” Cinch asked shocked to see it.

“ While you were busy gauging my abilities I have been snatching the Numbers you used to brainwash everyone and this is just the one to help me win this duel. I may not be able to target your Number with Spells or Traps but Monster effects are another story so I will detach one overlay unit to have Big Eye take control of your monster. Big Eye absorbed one of its overlay units into its eye and began staring intently at Genom-Heritage trying to control it only for Cinch to counter it.

2 - 1 = 1

“ Nice try Mr.Chance but I saw this coming I discard my Effect Veiler to negate that effect. Cinch discarded her card and Big Eyes effect was halted before Genom-Heritage gave in.

“ In that case, I enter Battle and will have Big Eye attack Genom-Heritage and since you negated Big Eye’s effects the stipulation to using its effect is also negated so it is free to attack. Big Eye charged in and was about to attack until Cinch pulled the last card from her hand.

“ That won't work either because when one of my Heraldic monsters is targeted for an attack I can Special Summon Heraldic Beast Pegasus to negate that attack. A blue pegasus wearing a black mask and armor appeared and rammed into Big Eye sending it back to Silver’s side of the field before landing on Cinch’s field.

Heraldic Beast Pegasus
LV:4
DEF:2000

“ Fine, I end my turn with two cards face-down,” Silver said as two set cards appeared behind Big Eye.

“ My turn I draw,” Cinch said as she drew her card. Cinch looked pleased with what she drew and considered if using it was a good idea or not since the chances were this move could help Silver as well. Cinch figured the risk was worth it if she got what she needed.

“ I activate the Spell Card of Sanctity as I am sure you know this allows us both to draw until we both have six cards in our hand. Cinch drew her six cards while Silver drew four. Cinch smiled at the number of options she now had in her hand. Next, I activate Gemon-Heritage’s effect by detaching one overlay unit I can target one Xyz Monster you control and not only does Genom-Heritage steal that monster’s original attack points and effects but the targeted monster’s attack becomes zero with its effects negated. until the end phase. As Gemon-Heritage absorbed its overlay unit and sent its tendrils towards Big Eye Silver went for one of his set cards.

2 - 1 = 1

“ I Activate the Counter Trap Xyz Tag,” Silver said as a trap with an image of (Heroic Champion Excalibur) tagging in for (Heroic Champion Kusanagi). When one of my Xyz Monsters is targeted by the effect of one of my opponent’s Xyz Monsters this card banishes my monster and allows me to summon another Xyz monster from my Extra Deck with the same Rank so say goodbye to my Big Eye and hello to my Buster Wyvern. Big Eye vanished and in its place appeared a white dragon with green eyes along with an x shaped scar on its chest and wings as sharp as the sword it’s master wields.

Buster Wyvern
RANK:7
ATK:2800
UNITS:0

“ Makes no difference to me because next, I equip your Wyvern with the Equip Spell Heraldry Blast now when your monster is destroyed you take damage equal to half its attack points. Buster Wyvern was suddenly chained up and a plate with the crest of the Heraldry on it appeared. Next, I Summon Heraldic Beast Basilisk in attack mode. A chicken-lizard hybrid suddenly flew onto the field and unleashed a light cluck.

Heraldic Beast Basilisk
LV:4
ATK:1000

“ Next I overlay my Level Four Pegasus and Basilisk to build the overlay network. Both Pegasus and Basilisk turned into streams of energy Pegasus being green and Basilisk being orange before entering a galaxy like portal and exploding.

“ Gateway to the realm of the noblest of beasts manifest before me and unleash your fury on my foe! Xyz Summon! Rise! Number 18 Heraldry Patriarch!

An Icicle with a blue ring around it appeared before the ice broke and formed what looked like a gateway with a red portal and ring with a yellow 18 mark on it appeared.

Number 18 Heraldry Patriarch

“ I end my turn by setting two cards face-down,’ Cinch said as two set cards appeared behind her monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his seventh card. Silver was about to do something until Cinch interrupted him.

“ During your Stand-By Phase, I activate the Trap Heraldry Buster by Tributing a face-up Xyz Monster I control I can destroy one card on the field for each of the tributed monster’s overlay units so I tribute my Heraldry Patriarch and destroy your wyvern and your set card. Patriarch vanished and its overlay units turned into chains that were about to drag both Silver’s Set card and Wyvern to the GY until Silver reacted.

“ I activate the Quick-Play Spell Heroic Dragon's sacrifice when one of my Face-Up Dragon-Type Monsters is about to be destroyed by an opponent’s card effect I can banish a Dragon-Type Monster from my GY instead so I banish my Buster Whelp to save my Wyvern. The spirit of Buster Whelp appeared and took the place of Wyvern while Silver’s set card was also dragged down.

“ Also since the set card you sent to my GY was Hyper Quick! I can draw one card and if it is a Spell card I can treat it as a Quick-Play Spell. Silver drew his card and smiled after seeing what he drew. Looks like my luck keeps on going because I drew the Spell Rank-Up-Magic - Silver Force which I will use now,” Silver said as a spell with an image of the Silver Family Crest appeared.

“ Now I can use my Wyvern to Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster that is one rank higher with the same Type and Attribute. Buster Wyvern turned into a stream of yellow energy before entering a Galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty Dragon born from the twilight’s last glimmer and the rocket’s red glare take flight and fight for the land of the free and the home of the brave! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Take Flight! Number 38 Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy!

Titanic Galaxy took flight and landed right where Wyvern used to be and unleashed a mighty roar.

“ Silver Force’s additional effect allows me to regain 500 Life Points for each Overlay Unit the summoned monster has so since Hope Harbinger has one I gain 500 life points. Silver was covered in a silvery aura as he gained Life Points.

Silver Chance:4500
Abacus Cinch:4000

“ Now that you're little attempted to beat me has failed to allow me to continue with my turn so first I pay 1000 life points to activate the Quick-Play Spell Cosmic Cyclone so I can banish your Field Spell. As soon as Silver paid for his Spell’s affect the crest on the field began to fade while the energy was being sucked into a vortex that opened up above the field.

Silver Chance:3500
Abacus Cinch:4000

“ With Augmented Heraldry now out of the way I can now target your monsters with Spells and Traps again so I will do that with the Spell Dragon's Assault while I control a Dragon-Type Monster I can target one monster you control and destroy it then you take damage equal to that monster’s attack points. Hope Harbinger unleashed its fury onto Genom-Heritage and destroyed it along with most of Cinch’s Life Points.

Silver Chance:3500
Abacus Cinch:1600

“ Now that your monster is out of the way time to end this Hope Harbinger attack Cinch directly with Galaxy Freedom Burst. Hope harbinger unleashed a stream of white energy that was heading towards Cinch. Just when Silver thought he won Cinch countered with her other set card.

“ If you think I’m going to let it end here think again because I activate the Trap Draining Shield not only does this stop your attack I also gain Life Points equal to your Number’s attack points so that's 3000 Life Points. Cinch was covered in a green aura that raised her points.

Silver Chance:3500
Abacus Cinch:4600

“ I end my turn by setting one card face down,” Silver said as a set card appeared behind his monster.

“ My turn I draw,” Cinch said as she drew her third card. Cinch looked worried until she noticed something that could help. I activate the Spell Raigeki this will wipe your monster clear off the field. A bolt of lightning was about to strike Hope harbinger until it vanished and transformed into an overlay unit that Harbinger absorbed.

1 + 1 = 2

How is your number monster still alive and how did it gain an overlay unit?” Cinch asked shocked by what happened.

“ For someone who claimed to have studied my moves you seemed to have forgotten some of them like for instance Hope Harbinger’s effect you see once per turn during either of our turns when you activate a spell or effect on the field not only is it negated but Hope Harbinger can attach that card to itself as an overlay unit,” Silver said only for Cinch to smile again.

“ Good to know and now that I know your monster’s weakness time to exploit it First I activate the effect of Heraldic Beast Pegasus in my GY by banishing it I can target another Heraldic Beast in my GY and Special Summon it in defense mode so welcome back Unicorn. A portal opened and out of it came Unicorn taking a defensive stance.

Heraldic Beast Unicorn
LV:4
DEF:1600

“ Next I summon Heraldic Beast Leo in attack mode. A lion with gold armor appeared and unleashed its roar.

Heraldic Beast Leo
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ And now that I control two Heraldic Beast monsters I can Special Summon Heraldic Beast Eale from my hand. A blue goat with cobalt armor and longhorns appeared next to Leo.

Heraldic Beast Eale
LV:4
ATK:1000

“ Now to call forth my ultimate weapon I overlay my level four Unicorn, Leo, and Eale to build the overlay network. Unicorn turned into a stream of yellow energy while Pegasus turned into a stream of green energy and Eale turned into a stream of orange energy all of which entered a galaxy like portal that appeared above the tower and exploded.

“ Embodiment of all my anger and fury take form and unleash all of it on to all those who wronged me! Xyz Summon! Descend! Number 69 Heraldry Crest!

A demonic-looking monster began to slowly descend from the portal and stared into Silver’s soul with all of its hatred.

Number 69 Heraldry Crest
RANK:4
ATK:2600
UNITS:3

“ What the heck is that thing I am feeling a lot of anger and hate coming from it?” Silver asked feeling scared for the first time in his life.

“ This mister Chance is the embodiment of all the anger and hatred I felt towards you when you single-handedly destroyed my life and reduced me to nothing but a worthless woman who had to do the unspeakable just to survive,” Cinch said with her monster reacting to her anger.

“ I didn't ruin your life you did that to yourself when you became the type of principal I hate. The kind that forces students to succeed with cruelty and force just for the sake of their egos and bank accounts. A principal like that will most likely raise an army against themselves and that army is the very students that attend your school,” Silver said.

“ Who do you think you are lecturing me on how to run a School I been doing it long before you ever uttered your first words,” Cinch said causing Heraldry Crest to radiate more.

“ My father has a saying from his days at Starkwell. A man will respect you if he fears you but a man will save your life if he likes you. But you wouldn't know what that means being so bitter and heartless all the time,” Silver said.

“ I have heard just about enough of your liberal nonsense you brat now back to the duel and to what my Heraldry Crest can do first when it is Special Summoned the effects of all other Xyz Monsters currently on the field are negated. Heraldry Crest unleashed a pink wave of energy that covered Hope Harbinger in sparks.

“ If you Insist I activate the Trap Xyz Gamble,” Silver said as a trap with an image of Lucky Straight flipping a coin flipped face up. I can Only activate this trap when we each control at least one Xyz Monster and it allows me to flip a coin and call heads or tails if I am right I draw one card for each Overlay Unit on my side of the field but if I am wrong you draw one card for each overlay unit on your side of the field.

“ Why would you ever use something that could potentially put you at risk?” Cinch asked.

“ Because I believe in my luck and my friends now let's do this. A coin with Silver’s crest on the front and a skull on the back appeared in Silver’s hand and he flipped it as high as he could. As the coin began to make its descent back into Silver’s hand he caught it and placed his palm over it. Come on heads. Silver moved his palm and was a bit shocked to see he landed on the skull side which caused Cinch to smile.

“ Looks like your little attempt to turn the duel around failed. Cinch drew her three cards and laughed even more after seeing what she drew. And it looks like its now my turn to turn the tables I activate the Spell Double Spell by discarding a Spell from my hand I can use one of the spells in your GY so I discard this and from your GY I activate Rank Up Magic - Silver Force but first the effect of the Heraldry Pressure I discarded when this card is sent to the GY I target one Xyz monster on the field and it loses 1500 attack points until the end of the turn. Hope Harbinger was suddenly crushed under a field of gravity which weakened it.

3000 - 1500 = 1500

“ Now time to call forth my ultimate weapon I rebuild the Overlay Network with my Heraldry Crest to call forth something more powerful. Heraldry Crest turned into a stream of pink energy before entering a galaxy like portal and exploding.

“ Embodiment of my anger and hatred ascend further and evolve into an even mightier being of Hatred and unleash all my fury onto my foes! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Rise! Chaos Number 69 Heraldry Crest of Horror!

A gold and purple version of Heraldry Crest appeared with red energy flowing through its body and overlay units encased by this same energy which causes Cinch’s hair to become long and spiky and her body to radiate a pink aura

“ Forget what I said about you being an evil Principal you have cleary become someone far worse,” Silver said which caused Cinch to laugh evilly.

“ Say what you want but that won't change that fact I have you beat but first I believe you mention earlier that Silver Force grants 500 life points for each overlay unit the summoned monster has well I count four and that means 2000 Life points for me. Cinch was covered in the same aura as Silver was as her points went up more.

Silver Chance:3500
Abacus Cinch:6600

“ Now to show you what my new monster can do since it has the original Heraldry Crest attached as material I can detach an overlay unit to target an Xyz Monster you control and steal its original attack points, effects, and name prepare to lose. Heraldry Crest of Horror absorbed one of its units and just as it was about to use its effect Silver pulled a card from his hand.

4 - 1 = 3

“ Not so fast I discard my Effect Veiler to negate those effects. Silver discarded his card before Heraldry Crest of Horror could do anything which caused Cinch to look shocked.

“ You were holding an Effect Veiler this whole time why didn't you use it on the original Heraldry Crest?” Cinch asked.

“ Because even if you used that effect to steal Hope Harbinger’s effect it would not help you,” Silver pointed out.

“ No matter I can still do this I banish Heraldic Beast Unicorn from my GY to bring back Number 69 Heraldry Crest. The original Heraldry Crest came back ready to fight.

Number 69 Heraldry Crest
RANK:4
ATK:2600

“ Now to rid the field of your annoying monster Heraldry Crest of Horror attack Hope Harbinger with Ultimate Dark Matter Demolition. Heraldry Crest of Horror unleashed a hand made of pink energy and used it to crush Hope Harbinger and most of Silver’s Life Points.

Silver Chance:1000
Abacus Cinch:6600

“ Now to end this Heraldry Crest attack Silver Directly with Dark Matter Demolition. Heraldry Crest unleashed a hand made of dark energy and as it was about to hit Silver he pulled another card from his hand.

“ I’m not going anywhere but this guy and your monsters will be when I am attacked Directly by an Xyz Monster I can discard Xyz Obritorator to not only destroy all Xyz monsters you have in attack mode but also inflict damage to you equal to those monster’s attack points looks like all your anger and Hatred became your undoing. A black meteor began to fall and struck Cinch’s field. Just when Silver though he won Cinch was still standing.

Silver Chance:1000
Abacus Cinch:4000

“ How can you still be standing that should have been enough to reduce your life point to zero?” Silver asked.

“ Before your meteor struck I activated the Quick-Play Spell Heraldry Retreat this returned my Heraldry Crest of Horror to my Extra Deck and its overlay units to my Deck so your finisher was off by 4000 points,” Cinch explained.

“ Either way you have no more monsters so what now?” Silver asked.

“ For now I end my turn,” Cinch said with a hint of reluctance.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver looked disappointed with his draw since he had no way of making a comeback right now.

“ I have no choice but to end my turn,” Silver said with reluctance.

“ My turn I draw,” Cinch said as she drew her card. Cinch laughed evilly after seeing what she drew. Let's see you avoid this the Spell Soul Charge I may lose 1000 life points per monster I bring back but it is worth it to finish you on my next turn so I will bring back Number 8 Heraldic King Genom Heritage, Number 18 Heraldry Patriarch, and Number 69 Heraldry Crest. Cinch began to feel the pain from her monsters coming back.

As soon as Cinch resummoned her trio of Numbers, Indigo along with Lyra and Lightning arrived to see Silver in a bind.

“ This is bad Cinch has three powerful monsters while Silver barely has anything,” Lightning said.

“ Let's not lose hope Silver always finds a way to turn things around,” Lyra said.

“ We will see about that since I cannot conduct my Battle Phase on the turn I use Soul Charge I end my turn so go ahead and draw your last pathetic card,” Cinch said.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his third card. Silver looked at what he drew and smiled after seeing his strategy manifest before him. First I activate the Equip Spell Xyz Revival this allows me to bring back my Hope Harbinger and equip it with this card. Hope Harbinger flew out of a portal and prepared to fight.

Number 38 Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy
RANK:8
ATK:3000
UNITS:0

“ So what even if you do destroy one of my monsters I will still have Life points left and next turn you're finished,” Cinch said.

“ There is no next turn I activate the Equip Spell Silver Family Sword -KasaiŌkami this gives my Hope Harbinger an extra 1000 attack points. Hope Harbinger powered up While Cinch looked nervous.

3000 + 1000 = 4000

“ Time to end this Hope Harbinger attack Heraldry Crest with Galaxy Freedom Burst. Hope Harbinger unleashed a white flame and destroyed Heraldry Crest along with Cinch’s Life Points.

Silver Chance:1000
Abacus Cinch:0

WINNER: Silver Chance

Before Cinch could get back up Silver used his element to absorb all three of Cinches numbers and took back the other two elements. Silver suddenly felt something coming from Heraldry Crest and saw a prisoner chained up in what looked like a dungeon. The prisoner looked like a being made of blue energy.

“ If anyone can hear me please help,” The prisoner said before Silver’s vision ended.

“ Silver are you feeling ok?” Lightning asked.

“ I just had a vision created by Heraldry Crest,” He said.

Before Silver could tell his friends about it Shining armor and the rest of the Equine County Police Force stormed the tower and came up to the roof to arrest Cinch.

“ Abacus Cinch you are under arrest for kidnapping, Running an illegal business, and robbing the First National Bank of Canterlot City,” Shining said as he slapped the cuffs on Cinch.

Everyone left the tower which was going to be up for sale as soon as Cinch’s trial is over. Silver put his wig back on since he wanted to keep his pride intact.

“ Almost forgot I managed to get this back for you,” Lightning said before handing Silver his Chaos Emperor Dragon back to him.

“ Thanks, Lightning I do appreciate it,” he said.

“ By the way Silver, I never noticed how you make a lovely looking girl do you think Turquoise can come back again sometime?” Lyra asked.

“ Something tells me she will but once we get home Silver is back in control,” he said.

“ How did you feel walking a mile in our heels for once?” Lightning asked.

“ Strangely I liked it very much,” he said.

Back in Silver’s Room Silver was discussing with his teammates what he saw from Heraldry Crest.

“ A prisoner in a dungeon do you think it has some kind of connection with the Number’s themselves,” Lightning asked.

“ Most likely but for now we need to focus on the World Race Grand Prix we only have a month before we find out where we are going first,” He said.

“ Speaking of do you think we heard the last of the Dazzlings?” Lyra asked.

“ Most likely not,” He said.

After they finished talking the girls went home while Silver put his ensemble inside his closet in case he would ever need it again. Silver called it a night and went to bed.

Taking Off Into The World Stage

Silver and Ratchet were busy working on the teams Runners when Bullet entered the garage carrying a box.

“ You have a package from Industrial Illusions Chance,” Bullet said before setting the box down on Silver’s workbench. Silver puts his tools down and opened it.

“ What did you get Silver?” Ratchet asked. Silver pulled out what looked like a deck box and opened it, revealing a whole bunch of new cards that were not released to the public yet along with a note. Silver unfolded the note and began to read it out loud.

“ Dear Silver boy I have been watching you and your team dominate in the selection circuit and I am impressed with your heroic spirits. During your match against Ren Darkbright, the spirits of the Clearwing Series resonated so they deemed you worthy of possessing them so in this box awaits your new friends. Take good care of them. Sincerely, Maxamillion Pegasus,” The note said. Silver took the deck out and looked at the new cards Pegasus gave him.

“ No way these are amazing, Hey Ratchet care to help me test this deck out?” Silver asked.

“ Sure this could be fun,” Ratchet said.

Minutes later Silver and Ratchet were preparing their duel disks while Lightning was prepping the Solid Vision Projector.

“ Are you boys ready to go?” Lyra asked.

“ I’m all set,” Ratchet said.

“ Same with me,” Silver said.

“ Than let’s get this duel started I activate the Action Field Kingdom of Science,” Lightning shouted as she pressed the button and caused the projector to transform the room outside into a small city with futuristic building and stuff. Both Silver and Ratchet drew their opening hands and started the duel.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Crimson Ratchet:4000

“ I’ll start,” Ratchet said. After looking at his hand he made his move. To start things off I Summon Morphtronic Celfon in attack mode. Celfon appeared and began its transformation sequence into robot mode.

Morphtronic Celfon
LV:1
ATK:100

“ I activate Celfon,s attack position effect once per turn Celfon dials a number between one and six and depending on the number I excavate that many cards and if any of them are Morphtronic Monsters I select one of them to Special Summon, Dial On. The numbers on Celfon’s chest began to flash randomly until the number three stayed lit. And it’s a three so I excavate my top three cards. Ratchet looked at his top three cards and smiled after seeing what was among them. Time to crank up the base with Celfon’s effect I Special Summon Morphtronic Boomboxen in Defense mode. A red and white boombox appeared and began to play some loud rock music.

Morphtronic Boomboxen
LV:4
DEF:400

“ Finally I set two cards face-down and end my turn,” Ratchet said as two set cards appeared behind Celfon and Boomboxen.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver looked at his hand and took his time to think about what to do first and then decided. First, since you have monsters on your field and I don,t I can Special Summon Clearwing Warg from my hand. A white wolf wearing armor that resembled the design of Clearwing Synchro Dragon appeared and Unleashed a mighty howl.

Clearwing Warg
LV:5
ATK:2100

“ When Warg is summoned this way I can add a level three or lower clearwing Tuner monster from my Deck to my hand so I will use this effect to add Clearwing Synchron to my hand. Silver added his card to his hand and proceeded with his turn. Next, I summon Clearwing Synchron in attack mode. A white robot with metal plating that resembled Clearwing Synchro Dragon,s color scheme appeared and punched its fist forward.

Clearwing Synchron
LV:2
ATK:200

“ I activate the Trap Morphtronic Mix-up while I control at least two face-up Morphtronic monsters I select two of your card and you must decide which one of the two will be destroyed. I know you're planning to summon Clearwing Synchro Dragon next and I won't let you. Ratchet thought he had Silver until Silver started running for Action Cards and found one by a hydroelectric generator and grabbed it. Silver decided which of his monsters to destroy before chaining his Action Card to it. I choose my Warg and in response to his destruction, I activate the Action Spell Mirage this negates Warg’s destruction.Warg survived and Silver continued his move. Now I tune my level two Clearing Synchron with my level five Warg to Synchro Summon my Ace. Clearing Synchron flew into the air before bursting into two stars that then turned into two rings that encircled Warg and turned him into five stars that fell into alignment.

"The mighty dragon that speeds through the boundaries of time and space rise from the ashes and shine your wings brighter than the sun! Synchro Summon! Roar! Level 7! ClearWing Synchro Dragon!

Clearwing flew and landed by Silver’s side ready to fight.

Clearwing Synchro Dragon
LV:7
ATK:2500

“ You may have summoned Clearwing but his effect won't help you since my monsters are under-leveled and in case you didn’t know when Boomboxen is in defense mode he can negate one attack against a morphtronic monster per turn,” Ratchet pointed out.

“ Think again when Clearwing Synchron is used as Synchro Material for a Clearwing Synchro Monster the levels of all your monsters increase by one. The spirit of Clearwing Synchron suddenly appeared behind both of Ratchet’s monsters and poured its power into them.

1 + 1 = 2

4 + 1 = 5

“Let’s see you beat this the Continuous Trap Morphtronic Bind while I control a Face-up Morphtronic monster all your level four or above monsters cannot attack or change their battle position. Ratchet thought he had Silver cornered until he pulled another card from his hand.

“ Think again I activate the Quick-Play Spell Whirlwind Slasher,” Silver said as a spell with an image of Clearwing Synchro Dragon doing its signature attack appeared. I can only activate this spell while I control Clearwing Synchro Dragon and when it attacks the effects of your Spells and Traps are negated during the Battle Phase. Suddenly Clearwing ascended like it was preparing to strike. Enter Battle Clearwing Synchro Dragon take out Morphtronic Celfon. Clearwing charged at Celfon at high speed. Ratchet reacted by pulling a card from his hand.

“ I won't let you damage me that easily by discarding Gadget Driver I can change my Celfon to defense mode. A screwdriver suddenly appeared behind Celfon and stabbed into it causing it to transform into its disguised form.

Morphtronic Celfon
LV:1
DEF:100

As soon as Celfon switched to defense mode Clearwing destroyed it.

“ Nice response, I guess I will just end my turn,” Silver said before mounting Clearwing.

“ My turn I draw,” Ratchet said as he drew his second card. Ratchet was in a bind thanks To Silver making his Boomboxen a level five monster and no way to Synchro Summon his Ace without it being destroyed. Ratchet saw a potential way out and acted on it. First I activate the Spell Junk Box this allows me to Special Summon a level four or lower Morphtronic Monster from my GY but it will be destroyed during the End Phase so return to the Field Morphtronic Celfon. Celfon came back good as new.

Morphtronic Celfon
LV:1
ATK:100

“ Next I activate Celfon’s attack position effect, Dial On. Celfon began the process of lighting its buttons until it stopped on five. Ratchet excavated his top five cards and smiled after seeing what he revealed. Looks like I still have a chance one of the cards I excavated was Morphtronic Datatron so I will summon it. A orange USB stick appeared before it transformed into a lighter like robot.

Morphtronic Datatron
LV:3
ATK:1200

Ratchet began running in the hopes of finding a game-changing Action Card and suddenly found one the roof of an observatory. Silver also noticed it and had Clearwing fly for it. Both Silver and Ratchet leaped for it but at the last second Ratchet got a hold of it. Looks like my luck is still going I activate the Action Spell Monster Microwave. A giant red microwave appeared behind Ratchet and opened up. This allows me to return a monster on my field to my hand and Special Summon a level four or lower monster from my hand so I will return Boomboxen to my hand. Boomboxen was suddenly sucked into the microwave and vanished. And from my hand I Special Summon Morphtronic Remoten in attack mode. A white remote like robot appeared ready to fight.

Morphtronic Remoten
LV:3
ATK:300

“ Next I resummon Morphtronic Boomboxen but this time in attack mode. The same boombox from before appeared but this time it transformed into robot mode.

Morphtronic Boomboxen
LV:4
ATK:1200

“ Now that the stage is set I tune my level three Remoten with my Level Four Boomboxen to Synchro Summon my closest friend. Remoten burst into three stars that turned into three rings that encircled Boomboxen and turned him into four stars that fell into alignment.

3 + 4 = 7

"Docking strength with courage to protect the world's peace! Synchro Summon! Envoy of love and justice, Level Seven! Power Tool Dragon!" A yellow and silver mechanical dragon with red eyes, A blue shovel on its left arm and a green screwdriver on its right arm flew onto the field and raised its shovel like it was ready to fight.

Power Tool Dragon
LV:7
ATK:2300

“ let me guess you're going to use your dragon’s effect to search for an Equip Spell?” Silver asked knowing where this was going.

“ With your Clearwing in play that would be a dumb idea what I will do instead is this. I activate Datatron’s attack position effect once per turn I tribute a monster on my field to have Datatron burn you for 600 points of damage so I tribute Celfon. Celfon suddenly turned into pixels that were loaded into Datatron and fired at Silver thus knocking him off of Clearwing’s back and into the river leading to the waterwheel.

Silver Chance:3400
Crimson Ratchet:4000

Luckily for Silver, the splash knocked an action card that was on the wheel into the river which caused him to swim for it and after pulling off a nearly perfect dive landed safely on Clearwing’s back. Silver saw what he pulled and was not completely happy about it especially since it is an Action Trap he had no choice but to play it. I activate the Action Trap Trial and Error this allows me to flip a coin and if it lands on heads I draw a card but if it lands on tails you draw a card. A coin materialized in Silver’s hand and he flipped it. As soon as it landed Silver was shocked to see it landed on the skull side. Looks like you're the lucky one Ratchet go ahead and draw. Ratchet drew his card and was very happy to see what he drew.

“ Just what I needed I activate the Equip Spell Double Tool C&D and Equip it onto Power Tool Dragon. Power Tool Dragon’s shovel and screwdriver transformed into a circular saw and drill. During my turn not only does Power Tool Dragon gain 1000 attack points but when it attacks your monster's effects are negated during the battle. Power Tool Dragon powered up ready to fight.

2300 + 1000 = 3300

“ Time to Battle Power Tool Dragon attack Clearwing Synchro Dragon with Crafty Break. Power Tool Dragon charged forward with its drill spinning and boar a hole through Clearwing causing it to explode and take another dent out of Silver’s Life Points.

Silver Chance:2600
Crimson Ratchet:4000

“ Now that your monster is gone time for my Datatron to attack you directly. Datatron charged its cannon and fired a ball of blue fire at Silver. Just as the fireball was getting closer Silver pulled a card from his hand.

“ Not so fast When I am attacked Directly I can Special Summon Clearwing Reflector to stop the attack and send it back at you. A boy with green hair carrying a green and white reflector panel on his back appeared and positioned the panel to send the fireball right back at Ratchet. The fireball bounced off the panel and nailed Ratchet.

Clearwing Reflector
LV:3
DEF:2000

Silver Chance:2600
Crimson Ratchet:2800

“ Not bad, since I have nothing else I will end my turn,” Ratchet said.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card. Silver needed a way around Power Tool Dragon and its equip spell since it only allows Silver to attack Power Tool. After seeing what he drew he saw his strategy manifest before him. First I summon Clearwing Salvager in attack mode. A boy wearing a diving suit that matched the color motif of Clearwing appeared.

Clearwing Salvager
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ When Salvager is Normal Summoned I can add a Clearwing monster from my GY to my hand so I will add Clearwing Warg back to my hand. Salvager fired his anchor shot into a portal and reeled in a card that went into Silver’s hand. Next, I tune my Level three Reflector with my Level four Salvager to Synchro Summon one of my newest monsters. Reflector leaped into the air before bursting into three stars that then turned into three rings that encircled Salvager and turned him into four stars that fell into alignment.

3 + 4 = 7

“ Mighty warrior that sets the world on fire take form and unleash all of your magnificent power on my foes! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level Seven! Clearwing Paladin! A woman with long green hair styled in a ponytail wearing armor that resembled Clearwing Synchro Dragon swung her sword that was made of green energy before pointing it forward.

Clearwing Paladin
LV:7
ATK:2800

“ Nice monster but it's too bad she can't attack because thanks to Morphtronic Bind all your Level Four or higher monsters cannot attack,” Ratchet pointed out.

“ Not for long I activate the Quick-Play Spell Twin Twisters by discarding a card from my hand I can destroy up to two spells or traps on the field so I will discard this and pop your Bind and Double Tool C&D. A pair of tornados suddenly appeared and swept up both of Ratchet’s cards before destroying them. Now to show you what my Paladin can do once per turn she can equip another Clearwing Synchro Monster in my GY to herself and gain both the equipped monster’s attack points and effects so I will Equip Clearwing Synchro Dragon to my Paladin. Paladin began to look more radiant as her power went up.

2800 + 2500 = 5300

“ Now to win this Clearwing Paladin attack Power Tool Dragon with Genesis Sabre. Paladin leaped into the air before summoning a bunch of blades that slashed at Power Tool while Paladin delivered the final blow that caused Power Tool to explode and take the rest of Ratchet’s Life Points.

Silver Chance:2600
Crimson Ratchet:0
WINNER:Silver Chance

“ Not a bad duel Silver those new cards are amazing,” Ratchet said.

“ They sure are and I can't wait to see what else they can do,” Silver said with excitement.

The next day Silver checked his email and noticed she got a message from the organizers of the W.R.G.P and opened it. The message was the pairings for the first round of the circuit. As soon as he finished looking it over he gathered his team to share the news with them. An hour later Lyra, Lightning, and Ratchet were sitting on the couch looking at the pairings Silver received.

“ These are the pairing for the first round and it looks like our first opponents are Team Kagaku from Japan. Silver told everyone to be ready to leave by three-thirty since their flight to Japan leaves at four.

Silver was waiting by the gate and just when it looked like the others weren't going to make it they arrived right on the dot. Ready to take on the World? Lyra and Lightning shouted yeah in agreement.

“ Hold on if we are taking a public airline to Japan how will get our runners and stuff over to Japan as well?” Lightning asked.

“ Don't worry they are safely on their way on my family’s freighter. My dad mainly uses it to ship the materials for his weapons from other countries but he said we can use it to get our stuff to where we need it to be. As soon as everyone took their seats, the plane was about to take off. Before they left the ground Silver motioned for Lyra, Lightning, and Ratchet to look out the window to see all the people minus Team Skullcrush and Team Trix they met in the selection circuit all gathered to see Team Silverwing off.

“ Good luck out there Team Silverwing,” Sunset shouted.

“ Win this for the U.S.A Team Silverwing,” Team Navy Steel shouted.

“ Make sure you come back much stronger and ready for our rematch Silver,” Ren Darkbright shouted. As soon as everyone finished sending their best wishes to Silver and the others the plane took off and flew off into the horizon.

Skiel Assault

After landing in Japan Silver and his team exited the plane only to be met by a bunch of reporters.

“ Silver how do you feel about the upcoming match?” One of the reporters asked.

“ To be honest both excited and nervous,” Silver replied.

After answering all of their questions Silver and the others exited the Airport and were surprised by the amount of glitz and glam Tokyo had. After asking one of the locals where the harbor was Silver pulled out his translator app on his phone then pointed the mic part at the local.

“ The harbor is at the end of the street just keep following Benkei Rd until you see it,” The translator said. After following the road to the harbor the freighter carrying Team Silverwing’s Runners arrived as scheduled. Silver was surprised to see his driver arrive with the truck as well. After getting the truck ready everyone went to the stadium for the first match of the A block. As soon as they arrived at the stadium one of the officials showed team Silverwing to their pit. After both teams finished setting up the logos of both teams appeared on their respective screens indicating the proceedings were about to begin.

“ Greetings everyone and welcome to the first match of the W.R.G.P so without further ado lets introduce the teams first from our very city of Tokyo the whiz kids from the kingdom of Science our very own Team Kagaku. The crowd cheered loudly as the home team walked onto the center of the field ready to go. And their opponents from the US of A, the Warriors of the sky Team Silverwing. The crowd was not as energetic this time since like with all matches the crowd will only cheer for the home team which Team Silverwing was not. After shaking hands as an agreement to play and fair and honorable match both teams returned to their respective pits and line up their first duelists. Now activating the Action Field Speed World V. The entire stadium transformed into a track with half-pipes and ramps. As soon as the Action Cards were dispersed the MC announced the first two duelists. Dueling for Team Kagaku is Sora doragon and dueling for Team Silverwing is Lyra Heartstrings. As soon as both Duelists took off Sora hit his nitro and rounded the corner in a flash thus earning him the first move. Both duelists drew their opening hand and started the match.

DUEL
Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Sora Doragon:4000

“The first move is mine and to start things off I summon Sky Core in attack mode. A blue mechanical core with blue crystals inside and on its sides appeared.

Sky Core
LV:1
ATK:0

“ That’s the best you got what can a monster with zero attack points do?” Lyra asked not impressed.

“ You will soon see but for now I set three cards face-down and end my turn,” Sora said as three set cards appeared behind Sky Core.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her sixth card. Lyra was not worried about anything and made her move. To start things off I summon Adagio the Melodious Diva in attack mode. Adagio appeared and began to sing lightly.

Adagio, the Melodious Diva
LV: 1
ATK: 1000

“ Next since I control a Face-Up Melodious Monster I can Special Summon Octavia the Melodious Songstress to join my Adagio. Octavia appeared and added her voice to the melody.

Octavia the Melodious Songstress
LV: 5
ATK: 2200

“ Now that the stage is set I tune my level one Adagio with my level five Octavio to Synchro Summon a monster that will end this quickly. Adagio burst into a single star which turned into a green ring that encircled Octavia and turned her into five stars that fell into alignment.

LV5 + LV1 = LV6

“Oh, mighty queen of the symphony! Raise your lovely voice high and shatter my fragile foes! Synchro Summon! Sing Loudly, Level Six’ Requiem the Melodious Queen!”

Requiem bloomed onto the field and began singing her melody ready to fight.

Requiem the Melodious Queen
LV: 6
ATK: 2900

“ Time to battle, Requiem attack Sky Core with Melody Brave. Requiem began to sing loudly creating an arrow of sound that was about to hit Sky Core until Sora reacted.

“ I activate the Trap Twin Vortex When you declare an attack this trap destroys one of my monsters as well as one of yours. As the vortexes were approaching Lyra spotted an Action Card above a half-pipe and used it to grab it in time to use it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Mirror Barrier this protects my monster from destruction. A mirror ball encased Requiem thus protecting her from destruction Sky core, on the other hand, was crushed and then destroyed which made Sora happy.

“ You just fell for my bluff I never wanted to destroy your monster I wanted to destroy Sky Core. You see when Sky Core is destroyed by a card effect I can special Summon Meklord Emperor Skiel Infinity, Skiel Top, Skiel Attack, Skiel Guard, And Skiel Carrier from my Hand, Deck, Or GY.

“ Now combine Meklord Emperor Skiel. All five monsters combined into a bird-like robot that unleashed a mechanical screech.

0 + 600 + 1000 + 200 + 400 = 2200

“ Nice monster but it is still too weak to beat me Requiem continue your attack. Requiem continued her attack only for Sora to react to it.

“ I activate Skiel Guard’s effect once per turn I can negate one of your monster’s attacks. Skiel sent four mechanical arms with shield generators attached to them out and created a shield that blocked Requiem’s attack.

“ Fine I set two cards face-down and end my turn,” Lyra said as two set cards appeared behind Requiem.

“ My turn I draw,” Sora said as he drew his second card. Sora began to laugh after drawing his card. I activate Meklord Emperor Skiel’s effect once per turn I can target one face-up Synchro Monster you control and equip it to my Meklord Emperor then it gains that monster’s attack points. Skiel opened its chest and sent out a bunch of tentacles that wrapped around Requiem before pulling her into Skiel’s chest and closing.

2200 + 2900 = 5100

“ 5100 attack points? You’re not messing around I see,” Lyra said with a hint of fear.

“ We never mess around these meklord Emperors are the Kingdom of Science’s ultimate weapons and no one can stand up to them but why talk about it when I can show you Meklord Emperor Skiel attack Lyra directly with Sky Buster Cannon. Meklord Emperor Skiel locked onto Lyra before firing its cannon. Just when Sora though he won Lyra activated one of her set cards in an attempt to save herself.

“ I activate the Trap Nitwit Outwit by discarding a monster card from my hand I can reduce Skiel’s attack points by the discarded monster’s attack points so I discard my Mozarta the Melodious Maestra to reduce Skiel’s attack by 2600. The spirit of Mozarta appeared in front of the blast and reduced its power.

5100 - 2600 = 2500

“ So My attack continues. Skiel’s attack kept going until Lyra went for her other set card.

“ I activate the Continuous Trap Call of the Haunted to bring back Mozarta who has more attack points than your monster. Mozarta rose from the ground and was ready to deflect the attack.

Mozarta the Melodious Maestra

ATK:2600

“ Clever strategy but the Kingdom of Science is always a step ahead I activate the Trap Sky A3 by sending Skiel Attack to my GY I can Special Summon Skiel Attack 3 from my hand to give my Skiel more firepower. Skiel attack vanished and in its place, a dragonfly appeared before turning into a new cannon that attaches itself to Skiel’s undercarriage.

Skiel Attack 3
LV:3
ATK:1200

2500 - 1000 = 1500

1500 + 1200 = 2700

Lyra was searching for any Action cards that could save her and spotted one. Just as she was about to reach for it the blast destroyed Mozarta and created an explosion that blew the Action Card towards Sora who smiled after seeing it.

Lyra Heartstrings:3900
Sora Doragon:4000

“ Thank you for the Action Card it was just what I was hoping for I activate the Action Spell Hand Recharge this shuffles my current hand back to my Deck and allows me to draw five new cards. Sora returned the only card left in his hand to his deck and drew five new cards. Sora smiled after seeing what he drew. And it looks like my luck just keeps going I activate the Continuous Spell Machine Revolution this gives all my Machine-Type Monster an extra 600 attack points for each Machine-Type I control so since Meklord Emperor Skiel consists of five monsters that's 3000 attack points for each of them and since the four parts of Skiel received a massive boost so does the main body. Skiel glowed with power as it grew stronger.

600 + 3000 = 3600

1200 + 3000 = 4200

200 + 3000 = 3200

400 + 3000 = 3400

2700 + 3000 = 5700

5700 + 3600 + 4200 + 3200 + 3400 = 20100

“ 20100? You guys are completely insane,” Lyra said close to giving up faced with all this power and might. Lyra was about to leave the track and surrender until Silver shouted at her to not give up.

“ Don't give up Lyra you still have a chance,” Silver shouted prompting Lyra to look at the last card in her hand making her see what Silver meant.

“ As much as I want to end this right now I can't since Meklord Emperors can only attack once because the main body is only allowed to attack so, for now, I set two cards facedown and end my turn,” Sora said as two set cards appeared behind Skiel.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra shouted with all her might creating a trail of light as she drew. Lyra smiled after seeing she drew exactly what she needed in this dire moment. First I Summon Goddess of Fortune in attack mode. A blue fairy with long light green hair, wings made of turquoise, wearing a long flowing dress the same color as her wings descended onto the field before striking an angelic pose.

Goddess of Fortune
LV:7
ATK:3000

“ A level seven monster but how you have no monsters to tribute?” Sora asked shocked by what happened.

“ Simple my goddess can be Special Summoned if you control more monsters than I do and since Skiel is made up of five monsters that counts,” Lyra pointed out.

“ Fine so you summoned her but she won't do you any good against my supercharged Skiel. Sora thought he rattled Lyra with that fact only to see her smile.

“ That's what you think I activate my Goddess of Fortune’s effect once per turn she lets me roll a die and what happens depends on what I roll,” Lyra said.

“ So you're relying on luck to save you?” Sora asked.

“ It works for my boyfriend so I believe in my luck too. A blue die with green spots appeared in Lyra's hand and when she threw it bounced off Skiel and landed on six. Just what I was hoping for now my Goddess negates all your monster’s effects until the End Phase so that means all that power your Skiel gained is now gone. Goddess of Fortune summoned forth a bolt of lightning that struck Skiel and shorted it out.

20100 - 17100 = 3000

“ Now what are you planning to do our monsters are even are you going to suicide into me because that is pointless. Sora was certain Lyra was bluffing but she proved him wrong.

“ Not exactly I plan to beat your monster and to do that I activate the Spell Sulferina’s Curse,” Lyra said as a Spell with an image of a goddess with rotting skin standing above a lake of sulfuric acid appeared. While I control a Fairy-Type Monster I can destroy one card you control and I choose your Skiel Infinity. A massive cloud of Sulfuric Acid flooded the track with both Lyra and Sora protected by force fields while Skiel was beginning to rust which Sora was not just gonna let happen.

“ Nice try I activate the Trap Infinity Wall I can only activate this card while I control a Meklord Emperor Monster this negates any effects that would destroy a card I control this turn. Did you honestly think we wouldn't have countermeasures against anyone who would try to destroy our ultimate weapons? A sphere made of energy shaped like little infinity numbers appeared around Skiel and saved it. Just as Lyra thought she failed she spotted a clutch Action card up ahead and went for it successfully then smiled after seeing what it was.

“ I activate the Action Spell Monster Draw this allows me to draw one card for every monster on the field so I draw six cards. Lyra drew her six cards and smiled at what she drew. Looks like I still have a chance I activate the Spell Fairy Force this allows me to destroy one Spell or Trap you control for every Fairy-Type Monster I control so since I have one I will destroy Machine Revolution. A pink cloud of fairy dust appeared over the radio tower and caused it to rust up and then explode.

3600 - 3000 = 600

4200 - 3000 = 1200

3200 - 3000 = 200

3400 - 3000 = 400

3000 - 3000 = 0

“ Now that your Spell is gone time for some payback Goddess of Fortune attack Skiel Infinity with Radiant Wave. Goddess of Fortune unleashed a wave of fairy dust that caused Skiel Infinity to explode along with the rest of Sora’s monsters. As soon as Sora was caught in the blast it was being absorbed by a skull-like machine.

Lyra Heartstrings:3900
Sora Doragon:1000

“ I commend you on beating Skiel but don,t think that means your safe after you destroyed my Skiel I activated the Continuous Trap Infinite Aura when I take damage either by battle or card effect this card gains an Aura counter for every 100 points of damage I take so since you dealt 3000 points of damage that's thirty counters. Infinite Aura swallowed all the damage and a pink number appeared above it and began counting up until it hit thirty.

Aura Counter: 30

“ Why would you use A trap that just records damage?” Lyra asked.

“Let's just say when the time comes this trap will be part of your undoing,” Sora said.

“ We shall see but for now I end my turn,” Lyra said.

“ My turn I draw,” Sora said as he drew his fifth card. Sora looked worried since his ace was destroyed until he saw what he needed. I activate the Spell Monster Reincarnation by discarding a card from my hand I can add a monster from my GY to my hand so I will discard this and add Sky Core to my hand. Sora added his declared card to his hand before pulling it. Next, I summon Sky core in attack mode. Sky Core appeared again ready to be destroyed again.

Sky Core
LV:1
ATK:0

“ Next I activate the Spell Chaos Blast by milling my top three cards I can destroy a level four or lower monster on the field and I’m sure you know what monster I am destroying. Sora milled his top three cards ( Skiel Carrier 3, Skiel Top 3, Infinity Force) and suddenly Sky core was struck by lightning and destroyed. Now that Sky Core has been destroyed, my Skiel returns. All five pieces of Skiel returned to the field and combined again.

The four pieces of Skiel vanished and in their place appeared a blue machine that looked like the head of a falcon, the same dragonfly from earlier, A machine that looked like the tail of a raven but folded, And a pair of wings that looked like a fairy’s wings. All four parts combined with Skiel turning it into an even more dangerous bird.

“ Now for a little payback Meklord Emperor Skiel attack Lyra Directly with Sky Buster Cannon. Skiel locked onto Lyra and fired at her managing to nail her this time.

Lyra Heartstrings:500
Sora Doragon:1000

“ How can this be I still have a monster out how were you able to attack directly?” Lyra asked.

“ It’s thanks to Skiel Attack 5’s effect which allows Meklord Emperor Skiel to attack directly but don't think your safe just yet because now Skiel Top 3’s effect Activates when Skiel successfully deals damage Skiel Top 3 inflicts another 300 points of damage to you. Skiel Top 3 opened its beak and fired a blue beam at Lyra hitting her in the back.

Lyra Heartstrings:200
Sora Doragon:1000

“ With that, I end my turn go ahead and make your last pathetic move,” Sora said as vindictive as he could be.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her sixth card. Lyra was in a bind with Skiel towering over her and barely any life points left. Lyra saw something that could help Lightning should she fail to beat Sora. First I set two cards Face-down and Activate the Spell Fairy’s Blast by Discarding a Fairy-Type Monster from my hand you take 100 points of damage times that monster’s level so by sending my Level five Fairy of Cost Down to my GY you take 500 points of damage. Sora was suddenly nailed by a cloud of fairy dust.

Lyra Heartstrings:200
Sora Doragon:500

“ Since I took damage Infinite Aura gains more counters. The skull machine absorbed the damage and its number went from thirty to thirty-five.

Aura Counter: 35

“ That's fine by me because now that Fairy of Cost Down is in my GY I can use her effect to downgrade my Goddess of Fortune from a level seven to a level five monster and summon her from my GY. Suddenly a light shot up from Lyra’s GY and shot off two of Goddess of Fortune’s stars before transforming into a fairy with long blond hair, gold wing, wearing a long white dress and wielding two swords.

7 - 2 = 5

Fairy of Cost Down
LV:5
ATK:2200

“ Now that the stage is set I overlay my level Five Goddess of Fortune and Fairy of Cost Down to build the Overlay network. Both of Lyra’s monsters turned into streams of yellow energy before entering a galaxy-like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty arcane shoulder of the heavens fly to my side and aid me in this fight! Xyz Summon! Come! Rank 5! Tiras, Keeper Of Genesis!

A white arcane angel with yellow wings, wielding a sword and shield with a sun motif appeared and prepared to fight.

Tiras, Keeper Of Genesis
RANK:5
ATK:2600
UNITS:2

“ Time to win this Tiras attack Skiel Infinity with Divine Slash and during the damage step I discard Honest to have Tiras gain attack points equal to Skiel’s attack points. Tiras began to power up as it got closer.

2600 + 3400 = 6000

“ Nice try I activate Skiel Carrier 3’s effect when a monster I control is attacked I can negate that attack. Skiel’s wings pointed up and generated an electrical field that sent Tiras back to Lyra’s side. Now Skiel Guard 3’s effect activates when an attack is successfully negated you take 300 points of damage that looks like this is the end. Skiel unfolded its tail and flapped it sending a whirlwind at Lyra thus draining the rest of her life points.

Lyra Heartstrings:0
Sora Doragon:500
WINNER: Sora Doragon

“ During my End Phase Tiras must detach an overlay unit. After Tiras lost one of its overlay units Lyra drove back to the pit to pass the baton and her cards to Lightning.

2 - 1 = 1

As soon as Lyra pulled over next to Lightning she handed her the baton and her cards. Be careful out there there is a possibility that there may be more Meklord Emperors besides Skiel.

“ Relax Lyra you whittled him down enough for me to end this fast,” Lightning said before taking off. Silver confronted Lyra after losing to an insanely powerful monster.

Lightning's Evolution

“ And now taking the stage for team Silverwing is Lightning Dust,” The MC said. As soon as Lightning caught up to Sora she drew her opening hand.

DUEL
Lightning Dust:4000
Sora Doragon:500

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her sixth card. Lightning looked at her hand and noticed she drew everything that she needed to win this. First I activate the Spell Xyz Interference While I control a Face-Up Xyz Monster the effects of all Face-Up non-Xyz Monsters are negated for this turn. Meklord Emperor Skiel was suddenly hit by lightning which interfered with its powers.

3400 - 3400 = 0

“ Now to end this Tiras attack Skiel Infinity with Divine Slash. As Tiras came close to making contact Sora spotted a possible game-changing Action Card and snatch it. Even though it was not what he was hoping for he did know it would help him leave his teammates with something. As soon as Tiras destroyed Skiel Infinity the rest of Skiel exploded along with it and drained the rest of Sora’s Life Points.

Aura Counter: 40

Lightning Dust:4000
Sora Doragon:0
WINNER: Lightning Dust

“ I may be going down but not before doing two more things first since I took over 2000 points of battle damage I can activate the Action Spell Damage Draw which allows me to draw two cards. After drawing his two cards he went for his set card. Next, I activate the Continuous Trap Infinite Prison by discarding a card from my hand I can target a level four or lover monster in my GY and place it Face-Up in my Spell and Trap Zone and the one I am placing is Sky Core.

1 - 1 = 0

After making his final move he went back to his team’s pit to pass the baton to his teammate.

“ Show this girl what the kingdom of Science is made of Chrome,” Sora said before passing the cards he had left in play to him.

“ This is going to be so bad,” Chrome said before taking off.

“ And now taking the stage for Team Kagaku is Chrome Ishi,” The Mc shouted before Chrome caught up to Lightning. Chrome drew his opening hand and the duel continued.

DUEL
Lightning Dust:4000
Chrome Ishi:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Chrome said as he drew his sixth card. Chrome smiled after seeing he drew his core monster. First I summon Wise Core in attack mode. A white core monster with red markings on it appeared before opening up.

Wise Core
LV:1
ATK:0

“ Next I activate the Spell Dark Hole this destroys all monsters on the field. Both Wise Core and Tiras were sucked up into a black hole before an explosion occurred. And since Wise Core was destroyed by a card effect I can Special Summon Meklord Emperor Wisel Infinity, Wisel Top, Wisel Attack, Wisel Guard, and Wisel Carrier from my hand, Deck, or GY. Five cards appeared before transforming into a white chasse with an infinity mark on it, a white snake-like robot, a white almond with a blade attached to it, a white clam, and a white pair of leeches.

“ Now combine Meklord Emperor Wisel. The five monsters began to combine and transform into a humanoid-shaped robot that looked almost like a knight.

0 + 500 + 1200 + 800 = 2500

“ Great another one of these insane robots and I thought one of them was bad enough,” Lightning said.

“ Well if you think this is powerful just wait til you face our leader but first time to battle Meklord Emperor Wisel Attack Lightning Directly with Weiss Blade Strike. Wisel unleashed the thrusters on its legs and charged forward with its blade arm pointing forward. Just when it looked like Lightning was about to be nailed Ghibli the searing Wind appeared and blocked the attack.

Blackwing - Ghibli the Searing Wind
LV:3
DEF:1600

“ Where did that bird come from and how is it blocking my attack?” Chrome asked.

“ Allow me to explain when I am attacked directly I can Special Summon Blackwing - Ghibli The Searing Wind from my hand to block your attack and as for why he is still standing I have Lyra’s Trap Sylph Berrier to thank for that by banishing a Fairy-Type Monster from my GY my monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn. Chrome looked annoyed by this and continued his turn.

“ You may have saved yourself for now but not for long I set one card Face-down and Activate the Field Spell Synchro Dystopia. The entire track transformed into a city left in ruin after a great calamity. While this card is in play neither of us is allowed to Summon any monsters from our Extra Decks except for Synchro Monsters so there will be no outmaneuvering our Meklord Emperors anymore so go ahead and make your move.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her fifth card. Lightning looked over her hand and saw no way around Wisel with chrome’s field spell limiting her to only Synchros meaning her RaidRaptors who could have bypassed Wisel were sealed off. Since you leave me no choice fine I will play your game and to start I summon Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain. Fane took its position next to Ghibli before preparing to strike.

Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain
LV:2
ATK:500

“ Next since I control at least one Blackwing Monster I can Special Summon Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind from my hand. Gale took the field next to Fane.

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
LV:3
ATK:1300

“ Next I activate the Spell Black Clone,” Lightning said as a spell with an image of a samurai attacking a clone of Fane made of feathers. By tributing a Blackwing Monster I can Special Summon two Feather Clone Tokens in defense mode so I tribute my Ghibli. As soon as Ghibli left the field a puff of smoke appeared and out of it came two miniature crow-like ninjas.

Feather Clone Token x2
LV:1
DEF:500

“ Since your asking for it, I tune my Level Three Gale the whirlwind with my Level Two Fane the Steel Chain to Synchro Summon a monster that will help greatly. Gale turned into three stars and then three rings that encircled Fane and turned him into two stars that fell into alignment.

2 + 3 = 5

“ Darkness formed from the pit of fear and loneliness form now into a bird of prey and hunt down my opponent without mercy! Synchro Summon! Manifest! Level Five! Blackwing - Blake the Dark Shadow!

Blake took her position on the field and readied her katana.

Blackwing - Blake The dark Shadow
LV:5
ATK:2400

“ Like that can beat me your bird is short on attack points to do anything,” Chrome said.

“ Maybe but Blake does have a useful effect when she is synchro summoned I can put one of your set cards on lockdown for as many turns equal to the number of Winged-Beast type monsters in my GY so since I have three your face-down can,t be used for three turns. As Blake threw her dagger Chrome reacted.

“ That effect is useless if I use my set card so I will behold the Trap Wise A3 by tributing Wisel Attack I can Special Summon Wisel Attack 3 from my Hand. Wisel’s right arm disappeared and in its placed a new arm with a better sword built into it appeared and attached itself to Wisel.

Wisel Attack 3
LV:3
ATK:1600

2500 - 1200 = 1300

1300 + 1600 = 2900

“ You may have dodged that move but I’m not done yet Next I activate the Spell Black Reborn this allows me to bring back a Level four or lower Blackwing Monster from my GY with its effects negated so welcome back Gale the Whirlwind. Gale came back ready for more.

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
LV:3
ATK:1300

“ Now to summon forth my newest monster I tune my Level three Gale the Whirlwind with my two Level One Feather Clone Tokens to Synchro Summon a monster that will take my game to the next level. Gale repeated the same process as earlier and encircled the two tokens turning them both into a single star with both of them falling into alignment.

1 + 1 + 3 = 5

“ Darkness formed from the shadows of the world take flight and show me what lies beyond the horizon! Synchro Summon! Fly! Level Five! Synchro Tuner! Blackwing - Dante The Dark Blade!

A crow-like birdman wearing crimson samurai armor wielding a katana forged from metal as black as the night sky appeared and slashed the air ready to fight.

Blackwing - Dante The Dark Blade
LV:5
ATK: 2300

“ Nice try but this monster is too weak also looks like your little attempt to beat me has failed,” Chrome said arrogantly.

“ Who said I was done my Dante’s effect activates when he is Synchro Summoned I can draw one card for every monster I used as Synchro Material so since I used three I draw three cards. Lightning drew her three cards and looked please with what she drew. And let’s not forget about my tokens because for each one used as Synchro Material one of your monsters loses 500 attack points so Wisel Infinity loses 1000 attack points until the end phase. Wisel was suddenly hit by a rain of black feathers.

2900 - 1000 = 1900

“ Now that your monster is weaker time to battle Blake the Dark Shadow attack Wisel Infinity with Shadow Strike. Blake drew her katana and charged at Wisel which caused Chrome to react.

“ I activate Wisel Guard’s effect when Wisel is attacked I can change the attack target to this card. Wisel tried to shield itself only for Blake to destroy his left arm.

“ Fine I set one card Face-Down and end my turn,” Lightning said.

1900 + 1000 = 2900

“ My turn I draw,” Chrome said as he drew his second card. Chrome looked pleased with what he drew and made his move. Time to bring back Wiesel’s left arm I summon Wisel Guard 3. An upgraded version of Wisel Guard appeared before unfolding and attaching to Wisel.

Wisel Guard 3
LV:3
ATK:0

“ Next I activate the Spell Infinity Draw this allows me to draw one card for every monster I control with the word Wisel, Skiel, or Granel in its name so since I control five Wisel Monsters I draw five cards. Chrome drew his five cards and smiled at what he drew. Now I activate Wisel’s effect once per turn I can target one face-up Synchro Monster you control and equip it to this card so prepare to lose your Blake. Wisel opened its chest and sent a bunch of tentacles towards Blake only for Lightning to increase her speed.

“You’re not absorbing anything because now it’s about time I showed you my new skill. Clear Mind! I tune my Level Five Synchro Tuner Dante the Dark Blade with my Level Five Synchro Monster Blake the Dark Shadow to Summon my newest weapon. Lightning increased her speed more and looked like she was fighting the wind.

“ Mighty bird that breaks through the strongest winds and surpasses the limits of humanity take flight and aid me in this fight! Accel Synchro! Accelerate! Level Ten! Blackwing - Saisei The Reviving Flame. A phoenix-like birdman wearing rainbow-colored armor wielding a mighty black sword flew above and glided above Lightning.

Blackwing - Saisei The Reviving Flame
LV:10
ATK: 3800

“ Where did Lightning learn to do that?” Lyra asked.

“ From Sunset remember when the three of us went our separate ways to train for a week. Lightning went to Sunset to learn how to use Accel Synchro before Cinch and her army kidnapped her,” Silver replied.

“ Nice Monster but that won,t save you once I do this I tribute Wisel Carrier to Special Summon Wisel Carrier 3 in attack mode. Wisel Carrier vanished and in its place, a white robot that looked like the tail of a masculine mermaid appeared and attached itself to Wisel.

Wisel Carrier 3
LV:3
ATK:1600

2900 - 800 = 2100

2100 + 1600 = 3700

“ But that’s not all I also tribute Wisel Attack 3 to Special Summon Wisel Attack 5. Wisel Attack 3 vanished and in its place, another arm appeared and generated two ax blades before attaching to Wisel.

Wisel Attack 5
LV:5
ATK:2000

3700 - 1600 = 2100

2100 + 2000 = 4100

“ Is that all or do you have more?” Lightning asked.

“ I have more in store for you but for now I end my turn with one card Face-down,” Chrome said as a set card appeared behind Wisel.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her fourth card. Lightning was cornered and pinned her hopes on any action Cards that came up. Lightning noticed one hovering over a half-pipe and went for it. After snatching it Lightning activated it. I activate the Action Spell Oversword this powers up my Saisei’s attack points by 500. Saisei powered up as his sword grew longer.

3800 + 500 = 4300

“ But that’s not all I also equip Saisei with the Equip Spell Wings of Corvin this gives my Saisei another 700 attack points. Saisei began to power up more as his wings begin to turn black with a red aura coming off of them.

4300 + 700 = 5000

“ If you think I’m letting you overpower my Wisel think again I activate the Trap Wise T3 by tributing Wisel Top I can Special Summon Wisel Top 3 from my hand. Wisel Top vanished and in its place, a white rabbit-like robot appeared and attached itself to where Wisel’s head used to be.

Wisel Top 3

4100 - 500 = 3600

3600 + 600 = 4200

“ Nice try but my monster is still stronger and to prove it I Activate Saisei’s effect I mill the top five cards of my deck and for each Winged-Beast type monster, I mill due to this effect Saisei can attack multiple times equal to that number. Lightning milled her top five cards ( Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius, Blackwing - Bora The Spear, Raidraptor - Upgrade Lanius, Blackwing - Steam the Cloak, Blackwing Hillen the Tengu Wind) Looks like I get five attacks this turn. Before the Battle started Chrome noticed a clutch Action Card and grabbed it then looked relieved that it could save him.

" Before the Battle starts I activate the action Spell Quick Guard this allows me to switch Wisel Guard 3 into Defense Mode. Wisel Guard 3 began to show signs of activating.

Wisel Guard 3
LV:3
DEF:2000

And now the Battle begins Saisei attack with Shadow V Formation. Saisei split into five copies of himself all in a perfect flying V formation. The first attack will be on Wisel Top 3.

“ Wisel Guard 3’s effect activates when one of my monsters is targeted for an attack the attack is changed to this card and once per turn it can,t be destroyed in battle. Wisel Guard 3 generated a shield and fended off Saisei.

“ Fine, my second attack will be on Wisel Guard 3. Saisei slashed Wisel Guard 3 and caused it to explode. My third attack will be on Wisel Attack 5. As Saisei was approaching Chrome saw a clutch action card and grabbed it then activated it.

“ I activate the Action Spell All For One this reduces your monsters attack points by 400 for every monster I control so since I still have four left that is 1600. Saisei was suddenly hit by a powerful blast of energy that weakened him.

5000 - 1600 = 3400

“ Regardless my attack continues. Wisel Attack 5 was destroyed and the damage was absorbed by Chrome’s Infinite Aura.

Lightning Dust:4000
Chrome Ishi:2600

Aura Counter: 54

4200 - 2000 = 2200

“ My fourth attack will be on Wisel Carrier 3. Saisei slashed at Wisel Carrier 3 and caused it to explode.

Lightning Dust:4000
Chrome Ishi:800

Aura Counter: 72

2200 - 1600 = 600

“ And for my final attack, I attack Wisel Infinity. Just as Saisei was about to deliver the final blow Chrome snatched an Action card and held on to it for his exit play. Before Wisel exploded and took the last of Chrome’s Life Points Chrome made his final move.

“ I may be going down but not before leaving our leader with something I activate the effect of Infinite Prison I discard the Action card I grabbed a few moments ago to place Wise Core in my Spell and Trap Zone.

Lightning Dust:4000
Chrome Ishi:0
WINNER: Lightning Dust

Aura Counter: 80

5000 - 500 = 4500

As soon as Chrome returned to his team’s pit the leader was waiting for him with an exciting looking grin on his face.

“ Sorry Senku I could not make a dent in Lightning’s life points she is very resilient,” Chrome said as he passed all the cards he had in play to his leader.

“ It’s ok Chrome you and Sora managed to set everything up for me so prepare to get excited,” Senku said before taking off.

“ And now taking the last leg for Team Kagaku is Senku Ishigami,” The MC shouted before Senku caught up to Lightning. After Senku drew his opening hand the duel picked up again.

DUEL
Lightning Dust:4000
Senku Ishigami:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Senku said as he drew his sixth card. Senku started to grin creepily after seeing his hand then made his move. First I summon Grand Core in attack mode. A gold core with red marking and a motor inside appeared which made Lightning annoyed.

Grand Core
LV:1
ATK:0

“ And let me guess when your core is destroyed by a card effect you can summon a Meklord Emperor,” Lightning asked already knowing where this was going.

“ Correct you get 10,000,000,00 points, figuratively mind you but back to the duel I activate the Spell Gunpowder Ignition I target one monster on the field and destroy it then you take 500 points of damage and the monster I destroy is Grand Core. Grand Core was covered in gunpowder before scraping against the ground and igniting it which hit Lightning.

Lightning Dust:3500
Senku Ishigami:4000

“ Now that Grand Core was destroyed by a card effect I can Special Summon Meklord Emperor Granel Infinity, Granel Top, Granel Attack, Granel Guard, And Granel Carrier from my hand, Deck, Or GY. Five cards appeared before turning into a gold chasse with the same infinity symbol as Skiel and Wisel, a seahorse-like robot, A long-nosed butterfly fish-like robot, A coelacanth-like robot, and a seashell-like robot.

Meklord Emperor Granel Infinity
LV:1
ATK:0

Granel Top
LV:1
ATK:500

Granel Attack
LV:1
ATK:1300

Granel Guard
LV:1
DEF:1000

Granel Carrier
LV:1
ATK:700

“ Now combine Meklord Emperor Granel. The five monsters all transformed and combined into a massive tank-like robot that towered over Lightning. Before you ask no Granel’s attack points aren’t equal to those of the combined parts instead they are equal to the number of my life points so since I am currently at 4000 Granel’s attack points are 4000. Granel powered up as Senku mentioned it.

0 + 4000 = 4000

“ And now I activate the Spell Counter Assimilation by destroying a card I control with counters on it I gain 100 life points for each counter that card has so I destroy Infinite Aura. Infinite Aura exploded and Senku absorbed all the counters it gained.

Lightning Dust:3500
Senku Ishigami:12000

“ And since I gained more Life Points Granel gains more attack points. Granel grew stronger than it was before.

4000 + 8000 = 12000

“ Now to take that annoying monster of yours out. Meklord Emperor Granel attack Blackwing - Saisei the Reviving Flame with Grans Slaughter Cannon. Granel locked onto Saisei and fired an orange beam of energy at it. Lightning reacted quickly to it.

“ I activate Saisei’s other effect when he is targeted for an attack I can banish him to negate that attack and bring him back during the End Phase. Saisei was about to vanish until Senku laughed.

“ Did you honestly think a cheap trick like that would work I activate Granel Top’s effect When Granel attacks I can negate the effects of a face-up Synchro Monster during the battle. Granel Top sent out a frequency wave that prevented Saisei from going anywhere and caused him to be destroyed by the blast. Just when Lightning though she was done for she saw a clutch Action card and grabbed it then activated it under the cover of the smoke. Just when the crowd thought it was over Lightning came out of the smoke undamaged.

“ How can this be my monster is way stronger than yours you should be out of Life Points?” Senku asked.

“ When you destroyed my Saisei I activated the Action Spell Sacrifice when one of my monsters is destroyed by battle I take no damage from that battle,” Lightning pointed out.

“ Either way now that Granel destroyed your monster Granel Attack’s effect allows Granel to absorb it. Granel fired a beam that opened a portal and then sent its tentacles into the portal which was a black void where Saisei was going through only to be yanked out by then absorbed into Granel making it more powerful.

12000 + 3800 = 15800

“ You may have survived this turn but next turn your finished so, for now, I end my turn with one card face-down,” Senku said as a set card appeared where Infinite Aura was.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her fourth card. Lightning looked at her hand and saw nothing that could get her out of this and just gave up. I end my turn,” Lightning said to Senku’s joy.

“ My turn I draw,” Senku said as he drew his third card. Senku wasted no time in entering his battle phase. Granel attack Lightning Directly with Grand Slaughter Cannon. Granel blasted Lightning with all the power he had.

Lightning Dust:0
Senku Ishigami:4000
WINNER: Senku Ishigami

“ I may be out but I still have one last thing to do for my team. First I activate the effect of Hillen from my GY when I take 2000 or more points of battle damage I can Special Summon him and another Blackwing from my GY so welcome back Hillen the Tengu Wind and ghibli the Searing Wind. Both monsters appeared in Defense mode.

Blackwing - Hillen the Tengu Wind
LV:5
DEF:2300

Blackwing - Ghibli the Searing Wind
LV:3
DEF:1600

“ Next I activate the Trap Urgent Tuning which allows me to Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase so I tune my Level five Hillen with my Level three Ghibli to leave Silver with something helpful. Hillen turned into five stars and then five rings that encircled Ghibli and turned it into three stars that fell into alignment.

3 + 5 = 8

"Darkened gales, reveal hidden wishes on your wings! Synchro Summon! Roar! Level Eight! Black-Winged Dragon!

Black-Winged Dragon appeared and took up a defensive stance.

Black-Winged Dragon
LV:8
DEF:1600

Lightning drove back to her team’s pit and pulled next to Silver.

“ That Granel is tough I’m not sure we can win this,” Lightning said as she passed her cards to Silver.

“ Don,t lose hope yet thanks to you and Lyra we learned how these Meklord Emperors work so leave the rest to me,” Silver said before taking off.

The Kingdom Of Science Falls

“ And now taking the last leg for Team Silverwing is Silver Chance,” The Mc shouted. As soon as Silver caught up to Senku he drew his opening hand.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Senku Ishigami:12000

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver was in a serious bind with Granel towering over him with over 15000 attack points and looked at his hand and saw he had nothing that could help him now. First I set two cards face-down and Special Summon Clearwing Guardna in defense mode. A smaller mechanical version of Clearwing Synchro Dragon with a shield generator on its back appeared next to Black-Winged Dragon.

Clearwing Guardna
LV:4
DEF: 2000

“ With that, I shall end my turn,” Silver said.

“ My turn I draw,” Senku said as he drew his fourth card. Senku looked confident in his victory and proceeded to his battle phase. Time to steal another one of your Synchros, Granel attack Black-Winged Dragon. Granel fired at Black-Winged Dragon only for Silver to smile.

“ I activate Clearwing Guardna’s effect once per turn when a level five or higher Synchro monster I control is targeted for an attack I can negate that attack. Guardna moved in front of Black-Winged Dragon and shielded it with a green barrier.

“ You may have stopped my attack but this next card will surely kill your dragon I activate the Trap Attack Cannon when a Meklord Emperor monster attacks one of your monsters and fails to destroy it I send one Attack monster I control to my GY to destroy one monster you control so say goodbye to Black-Winged Dragon. Granel Attack detached from Granel and rammed into Black-Winged Dragon thus destroying it. Silver then went for one of his set cards.

“ I activate the Trap Shadow Impulse when a Synchro Monster I control is destroyed I can Special Summon another one from my Extra Deck as long as its type and level are the same as my destroyed monster, however, its attack will become zero and its effects will be negated. so rise Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Scarlight took the field ready to fight.

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend
LV:8
ATK:0

“ Fine with me in that state your Dragon is useless especially since I am about to bring back Granel’s right arm I summon Granel Attack 3 in attack mode. An arm that looked like some sort of fish appeared and attached itself to where Granel Attack was.

Granel Attack 3
LV:3
ATK:1800

Before Senku made his next move he spotted a clutch action card and grabbed it before smiling wickedly again. Next, I activate the Action Spell Back-Up Attack this spell inflicts 400 points of damage for each monster I control that did not declare an attack this turn so since only Granel Infinity attacked that makes four so that’s 1600 points of damage. Silver was nailed by four blasts that came out of nowhere.

Silver Chance:2400
Senku Ishigami:12000

“ With that, I shall end my turn with one card Face-Down,” Senku said as a set card appeared where Attack Cannon was.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card. Silver saw what he drew and smiled. First I summon Clearwing Synchron in attack mode. Clearwing Synchron flew onto the field and struck a heroic pose.

Clearwing Synchron
LV:2
ATK:200

“ Next, I tune my Level two Clearwing Synchrom with my Level Eight Scarlight Red Dragon archfiend to Synchro Summon a monster like no other. Clearwing Synchron transformed into two stars and then two rings that encircled Scarlight and turned him into Eight Stars that fell into alignment.

2 + 8 = 10

“ Mighty soul of the one true king evolve into the bringer of all flames and rain down havoc on my foe! Synchro Summon! Rise up! Level Ten! Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane!

A much more demonic and stronger version of Red Dragon Archfiend appeared and unleashed a very intimidating roar.

Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane
LV:10
ATK:3500

“ I activate Bane’s effect by tributing another monster I control I can Special Summon a Red Dragon Archfiend monster from my GY so I tribute my Guardna and bring back my Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend 3000 attack points and all. Guardna was suddenly consumed in flames and out of the flames flew Scarlight ready for action.

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ Time to do this Bane attack Granel Attack 3 with Ultimate Power Force. As Bane was readying his attack Senku reacted.

“ You just activated Granel Guard’s effect when a monster I control is targeted for an attack I can use one of the Synchro Monsters that is equipped to Granel and treat it as a monster in my Spell and Trap Zone that you must attack. Granel opened its chest and Saisei was called forth still bound by the Tentacles that took it.

Blackwing - Saisei The Reviving Flame
LV:10
ATK:3800

“ I hope you would try something like this which is why I activate my Trap Red Comradery,” Silver said as a trap with an image of Red Dragon Archfiend and Scarlight Red Dragon archfiend attacking together flipped face up. I can only activate this card when I control two or more Red Dragon Archfiend Monsters and they both gain attack points equal to one monster I control so I target my Bane which means both my monsters gain 3500 attack points until the end phase. Both of Silver’s Dragons powered up.

3000 + 3500 = 6500

3500 + 3500 = 7000

Bane continued his attack charging his fist with fire even though he was getting closer Senku did not look scared.

“ I activate Granel Carrier’s effect once per turn a monster I control is not destroyed by battle,” Senku said as Saisei survived.

“ Yeah but you still take damage from that battle. Suddenly Granel began to weaken.

15800 - 3200 = 12600

Silver Chance:2400
Senku Ishigami:8800

“ Did you see that Granel just got weaker,” Lightning said with joy.

“ Now Bane’s other effect activates when he deals battle damage I can Special Summon two Tuner Monsters of the same level one from my Deck and one from my GY so from my deck I summon Clearwing Resonator and from my GY I summon Clearwing Synchron. A fiend with a tuning fork and a mallet wearing a white robe with the insignia for Clearwing on it along with a pair of wings on its back and with Clearwing Synchron appeared on the field.

Clearwing Synchron
LV:2
DEF:2000

Clearwing Resonators
LV:2
DEF:300

“ Now its time for Scarlight to take a crack at Saisei. Scarlight struck Saisei and successfully destroyed him.

12600 - 3800 - 2700 = 6100

Silver Chance:2400
Senku Ishigami:6100

“ Now Clearwing Resonator’s effect activates when a level five or higher monster successfully deals damage I can use it to Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase so I Double Tune my level two Clearwing Resonator and Clearwing Synchron with my Level Eight Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend to Synchro Summon the monster that will finish you off. Both Resonator and Synchron turned into four flaming rings that encircled Scarlight and turned him into Eight stars that fell into Allignment.

2 + 2 = 8 = 12

“ Mighty flame of the true king evolve and take your place on top of the world and rule with all your might! Synchro Summon! Smite them! Level Twelve! Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity!

The ultimate form of Red Dragon Archfiend descended onto the field and unleashed the mightiest roar ever heard.

Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity
LV:12
ATK:4000

“ Nice monster too bad it can,t do much against me,” Senku said still acting like he was in control of the match.

“ Wrong when King Calamity is successfully Synchro Summoned for the rest of this turn you’re not allowed to activate any cards or effects this turn also your not allows to use the effects of card you already have in play and the best part this effect cannot be countermanded so all you can do is just sit back and watch me destroy your Granel. But before that, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Synchro Overdrive this allows me to double the attack points of a Synchro Monster during the Battle Phase so King Calamity is now twice as strong. King Calamity powered up ready to fight.

4000 x 2 = 8000

“ 8000 attack points?” Senku said in shock.

“ That’s right now to use them King Calamity attack Granel Infinity with Supreme Absolute Power Nova. King Calamity unleashed a supernova so powerful it shut down Granel. And let’s not forget about the biggest weak point of your Meklords when the main body is destroyed so is the rest of it. Granel exploded taking a chunk out of Senku’s Life Points.

Silver Chance:2400
Senku Ishigami:4200

“ Without your Meklord Emperors, you’re pretty much finished but for right now I end my turn and during the End Phase, my monster’s attack points return to normal.

8000 - 4000 = 4000

7000 - 3500 = 3500

“ My turn I draw,” Senku said as he drew his third card. After seeing what he drew he smiled and went for one of his cards in play. We are not beat yet The Kingdom of Science has one last trick up its sleeve and I’m about to summon it so first I activate the effect of Infinite Prison by sending a discarding a card from my hand I can set Grand Core Face-Up in my Spell and Trap Zone. Next, I activate the Quick-Play spell Mystical Space Typhoon and use it to destroy Infinite Prison and when it is destroyed the monsters placed in my Spell and Trap Zones return to my hand. As soon as Infinite Prison bit the dust all three core monsters went into Senku’s Hand. Now I activate the Trap Meklord Emperor Creation By sending Wise, Sky, and Grand Core to my GY I can Special Summon the Ultimate weapon of the Kingdom of Science, Meklord Astro Mekanikle. A massive white and gold robot began to form from a bunch of cubes and once finished towered over Silver.

Meklord Astro Mekanikle
LV:12
ATK:4000

“ It’s going to take more than that to scare me,” Silver said. Senku spotted an Action card and went for it. Silver also spotted it and tried to get it before Senku could but failed.

“ Looks like your luck just ran out I activate the Action Spell Hand Recharge this sends the only card in my hand back to my Deck and allows me to draw five new cards. After Senku drew his new hand he was smiling after seeing what he drew. I activate Astro Mekanikle’s effect once per turn like all the Meklords he can absorb one Synchro Monster on your field and equip it to himself so hand over your Bane. Astro Mekanikle sent out tentacles that wrapped around Bane and caused him to be absorbed thus making Astro stronger.

4000 + 3500 = 7500

“ Now to end this Astro Mekanikle attack, King Calamity, with The Cube of Despair. Astro Mekanikle charged its cannon and fired a beam made of energy cubes at King Calamity. Just when Silver looked like he was about to lose hope a clutch Action Card showed up ahead of him and he grabbed it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Miracle not only is King Calamity not destroyed by battle but the damage I take is cut in half. King Calamity survived the attack while Silver only took half the damage.

Silver Chance:650
Senku Ishigami:4200

“ You may have survived that attack but let’s see dodge this I end my turn and During the End Phase, Astro Mekanikle sends one Synchro Monster equipped to it to the GY and you take damage equal to that monster’s attack points so your about to take 3500 points of damage thanks to your Bane. The Spirit of Bane was about to hit Silver until he reacted to it.

7500 - 3500 = 4000

“ I activate the Effect of Damage Glutton when I am about to take Effect Damage I can discard this card and recover Life Points equal to that damage instead. A black fiend with a fork and knife appeared and absorbed the damage before exploding and healing Silver.

Silver Chance:4150
Senku Ishigami:4200

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver saw his winning strategy manifest before him and made his move. I activate the Continuous Spell Synchro Respawn Generator this allows me to bring back a Synchro Monster that is resting in my GY so Come back Black-Winged Dragon. A generator with a pod attached to it appeared before Lightning’s Dragon came out of it.

Black-Winged Dragon
LV:8
ATK:2800

“ Next I Activate my Generator’s other effect twice per turn I can discard a card from my hand to Special Summon another Synchro Monster from my GY but I will take damage equal to that monster’s attack points so I bring back Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Scarlight flew out of the pod and back onto the field.

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend
LV:8
ATK:3000

Scarlight than unleashed some red energy which Black-Winged Dragon absorbed. Whenever I take effect Damage Black-Winged Dragon negates it and adds a Black Feather Counter to itself but it does lose 700 attack points per counter. Part of Black-Winged Dragon’s wings darkened as it got weaker.

Black Feather Counter:1

2800 - 700 = 2100

Silver looked around for Action cards and spotted the very last one of the match and grabbed it. Now I can use Respawn Generator’s effect again this time I bring back Bane. Bane flew out of the pod and prepared for the final assault.

Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane
LV:10
ATK:3500

Bane unleashed the same energy from before and Black-Winged Dragon absorbed it.

Black Feather Counter:2

2100 - 700 = 1400

“ And now I activate Black-Winged Dragon’s second effect by removing all its counters your Astro Mekanikle loses 700 attack points per counter and you take damage equal to the number of attack points lost by this effect. Black-Winged Dragon unleashed its power and Astro Mekanikle looked weaker and Senku was hit by the effect.

4000 - 1400 = 2600

1400 + 1400 = 2800

Silver Chance:4150
Senku Ishigami:2800

“ Time to end this Black-Winged Dragon attack Astro Mekanikle with Noble Stream. Black-Winged Dragon unleashed its attack hoping to destroy Astro only for senku to react.

“ My monster is going nowhere because by banishing a Meklord Emperor part from my GY he is not destroyed so I banish Granel Guard to save Astro. Despite not being destroyed Senku still felt the hit.

Silver Chance:4150
Senku Ishigami:2600

“ Now its Scarlight’s turn to attack Astro Mekanikle. Scarlight unleashed its attack only for Senku to repeat the same move as before.

“ I can keep using this effect you know so I banish Granel Top to save my monster. Senku still felt the damage.

Silver Chance:4150
Senku Ishigami:2200

“ Bane it’s your turn to attack Astro Mekanikle. Bane Unleashed all its might only to fail to destroy Astro Mekanikle.

“ Like I keep telling you all I have to do is keep Banishing Meklord parts and Mekanikle is going nowhere so I banish Granel Carrier this time. As soon as Senku took the third hit he finally caught on to Silver’s strategy.

Silver Chance:4150
Senku Ishigami:1300

“ You’re not trying to destroy Astro Mekanikle you’re trying to drain my Life points,” Senku said in shock.

“ That’s right your monster may be invincible but you aren’t and now to deliver the final blow King Calamity attack Astro Mekanikle and end this duel. King Calamity unleashed its ultimate attack and managed to destroy Astro Mekanikle along with the rest of Senku’s Life points.

Silver Chance:4150
Senku Ishigami:0
WINNER: Silver Chance

“ And it’s over after three rounds of intense action the winners of this round are Team Silverwing,” The MC shouted which caused the crowd to erupt in cheers. After parking their runners both teams shook on a well-thought duel.

“ I must admit those Meklord Emperors were mighty powerful where did you get them?” Lightning asked.

“ We found them inside the body of what looked like some kind of android buried in the junkyard,” Senku said.

“ So now that you have beaten us whats next?” Chrome asked.

“ We won,t know who our next opponent is for a few days so we were thinking we would go sightseeing until then.

As Silver and his friends were leaving the arena a boy with crazy red and black hair wearing a crimson-colored jacket white pants with flames on the bottom and a strange-looking gold pendant.

“ Are you the one they call Silver Chance?” The boy asked.

“ Depends on who’s asking,” Silver said.

“ I am Yuji tsukumo and I believe you have something that belongs to my friend,” Yuji said.

“ But he won,t be alone out there because his effect allows me to Special Summon a level four or lower monster from my hand when he is Normal Summoned so welcome to the field Ganbara Knight. The goblins dropped a container onto the field and out of it came a knight with twin shields.

“ Now that I have two level-four monsters time to summon my ace. I overlay my Level four Goblinbergh and Ganbara Knight in order to build the Overlay Network. Both Goblinbergh and Ganbara Knight turned into streams of energy that entered a galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty king of wishes take form and aid me in this fight! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 39 Utopia!

A white and gold core appeared before unfolding into a warrior with white skin, gold armor with wings that drew his sword ready to fight.

Number 39 Utopia
RANK:4
ATK:2500
UNITS:2

“ So you’re a number user no wonder you wanted a piece of me,” Silver said.

“ The numbers don,t belong to you they belong to my friend Nova who you and your friends kidnapped,” Yuji said.

“ I have no idea what you’re talking about. My friends and I have nothing to do with this Nova person,” Silver pointed out.

“ Stop denying it Nova’s message told me to hunt you down and beat you before your plans for world domination are complete. And to make sure that happens I activate the Field Spell Heartland Sphere Field. A couple of Pylons shot out of the ground and generated a bunch of rectangles that form a sphere before transforming into a sphere made of yellow energy that encased both Duelists. This Field Spell allows both of us to Xyz Summon a random Number Monster by using two monsters with the same Level from our hand however if a monster summoned by this effect has no Overlay Units it is destroyed. And with that, I end my Turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver was wondering why Yuji would summon his number before activating his Field Spell and figured the best way to find out was to play along. First I will use the effect of Heartland Sphere Field to Overlay my Level one Buster Whelp and Dragon Buster. Both Whelps appeared on the field before turning into streams of energy that entered a galaxy like portal and exploded. Silver’s extra deck appeared on his screen and one of the cards started glowing. Appear! Number 21 Frozen Lady Justice! Frozen Lady Justice appeared ready to fight.

Number 21 Frozen Lady Justice
RANK:6
ATK:500 + 2000 = 2500
UNITS:2

“ Nice try but she won,t do you any good,” Yuji said.

“ Who said I’m done I use the effect again this time I overlay my Level three Curse Buster and Timegazer Magician. Both of Silver’s monsters appeared on the field and repeated the same motion. Appear! Number 7 Lucky Straight! Lucky Straight appeared right next to Frozen Lady Justice.

Number 7 Lucky Straight
RANK:7
ATK:700
UNITS:2

“ Twice and you still failed to get anything good I know what your numbers do first frozen Lady Justice allows you to destroy all monsters I have out in Defense mode and Lucky straight lets you roll a die and its attack points are multiplied by the number you roll. My Utopia is in attack mode and unless you roll a four or higher you can,t overpower my Utopia so feel free to try again.

“ I can,t I have no more monsters so I will just set two cards face-down and end my turn,” Silver said.

“ My turn I draw,” Yuji said as he drew his third card. Yuji was confident in his own luck and pulled two cards from his hand. Now it’s my turn to use the Sphere Field I overlay my Level Three Zubaba Knight and Achacha Archer in order to build the overlay network. Both of Yugi’s monsters appeared and turned into streams of energy before entering a galaxy like portal and exploded. Come on out! Number 85 Crazy Box! A black box with a red 85 mark suddenly appeared and unfolded in certain places revealing something creepy inside.

Number 85 Crazy Box
RANK:4
ATK:3000
UNITS:2

“ Next I activate the Spell Xyz Treasure this allows me to draw one card for every Xyz Monster out on the field so with four Xyz Monsters out that’s four cards. Yuji drew his four cards and smiled after seeing what he drew. Next, I overlay my Level Four Gogogo Golem and Gagaga Magician to use the effect of my Sphere Field again. Both of Yuji’s monsters appeared before turning into streams of energy and entering a galaxy like portal and exploding. Rise! Number 53 Heart-Earth! A strange-looking creature that sort of resembled a gate appeared.

Number 53 Heart-Earth
RANK:5
ATK:100
UNITS:2

“ Next I activate Crazy Box’s Effect once per turn by detaching one overlay unit I can roll a die and what happened depends on what I roll. Crazy Box absorbed one of its Overlay Units into itself and then shot out a cube made of some unknown allow with runes that were meant to represent the numbers one through six on it. After bouncing around a little it landed on four.

2 - 1 = 1

Excellent it landed on four which means I can negate the effects of one card on the field until the End Phase so I will use this effect on Crazy Box itself. Crazy Box sent out a bolt of energy that nailed itself.

“ Why would you choose to negate your own monster’s effect?” Silver asked.

“ Simple to disable my monster’s drawback you see even though it has 3000 attack points Crazy Box is not allowed to attack but with its effects negated that changes. Now that my monsters are ready its time to Battle Crazy Box attack Lucky Straight. Crazy Box unleashed another bolt of energy this time blasting Lucky straight and most of Silver’s Life Points.

Silver Chance:1700
Yuji Tsukumo:4000

“ I kind of figured you would do that which is why I Activate this the Trap Nutrient Alpha,” Silver said as a Trap with an image of a blue liquid inside a syringe flipped face-up. Whenever I take 2000 or more points of damage in battle Nutrient Alpha allows me to draw one card or every monster you control and if any of the cards I drew are monsters I select one of them and regain Life points equal to its attack points so since you have three monsters I draw three cards. Silver drew his three cards and smiled after seeing what he drew. Looks like my luck is still going because I drew my Buster Blader which has 2600 attack points. Silver was covered in a blue aura which caused his Life Points to rise.

Silver Chance:4300
Yuji Tsukumo:4000

“ Enjoy those points while you can because I’m not done attacking Utopia attack Frozen Lady Justice with Rising Sun Slash. Utopia drew his sword and prepared to attack only for Yuji to do the unexpected. I activate Utopia’s effect by Detaching one overlay unit Utopia can stop an attack including its own go Light Wing Shield.

2 - 1 = 1

Utopia stopped its attack just in the nick of time.

“ Why would you stop your own attack where is the logic in that?” Silver asked.

“ So I can do this I activate the Quick-Play Spell Double Or Nothing I can only activate this card when my monster’s attack is negated and not only can Utopia attack again but his attack points are doubled as well. Utopia began to power up.

2500 x 2 = 5000

“ Utopia attack Frozen Lady Justice again. Utopia drew both of its swords and went for Frozen Lady Justice again only for Silver to respond to it.

“ I activate the Trap Xyz Rank Charge,” Silver said as a trap with an image of an Xyz Monster gaining power appeared. By banishing an Xyz Monster from my GY I target another Xyz Monster that is on my field and it gains 300 attack points multiplied by the rank of the banished monster so I banish the Rank Seven Lucky Straight and my Frozen Lady gains 2100 attack points until the End Phase. Frozen Lady powered up.

2500 + 2100 = 4600

Despite the rise in power Frozen Lady was still destroyed.

Silver Chance:3900
Yuji Tsukumo:4000

“ You may have survived that but next turn you won,t be so lucky I end my turn and now Utopia’s attack points return to normal. Utopia powered down.

5000 - 2500 = 2500

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card. Silver needed something that would help him in this match and noticed he drew another Level seven monster. Silver was thinking if he should keep playing this crazy game of chance Yuji set up or try something else. After checking his option Silver only had one course of action. I overlay my Level seven Buster Blader and Buster Dark in order to build the overlay network. Silver’s monster appeared and turned into streams of energy that entered a Galaxy like portal and exploded. Silver looked very happy with this one. All right I was hoping I get this one. Rise! Number 76 Majesty Lord Buster! Silver’s monster took the field and really threw Yuji for a loop.

Number 76 Majesty Lord Buster
RANK:7
ATK:3500
UNITS:2

“ No that’s impossible how can a Number be changed?” Yuji asked.

“ What are you talking about this is how it was when I got it and now for its effects first since both Blader and dark were used as Material his attack points double. Lord Buster began to grow stronger.

3500 x 2 = 7000

“ Next I activate the Spell Overlay Explosion this detaches all Overlay Units attached to your monsters and you take 500 points of damage for each unit so with two from your Heart-Earth and one from utopia and Crazy Box that’s a total of four so you take 2000 points of damage. All three of Yuji’s monsters lost their overlay units and Yuji was hit by four explosions.

2 - 2 = 0

1 - 1 = 0

1 - 1 = 0

Silver Chance:3900
Yuji Tsukumo:2000

Suddenly both Heart-Earth and Crazy Box exploded due to the effect of Heartland Sphere Field witch made Yuji happy.

“ You fell for my real trap you see when Heart-Earth is destroyed by a card effect while it has no overlay units I can Special Summon a much more deadly monster by attaching Heart-Earth to it so welcome to the game Number 92 Heart-Earth Dragon. A serpent-like dragon appeared and unleashed a mighty roar.

Number 92 Heart-Earth Dragon
RANK:9
ATK:0
UNITS:1

Silver felt like this was going to be another one of Yuji’s random moves and proceeded to make his move. I activate the Spell Card Of Sanctity this allows us both to draw until we both have six cards in our hand. Silver drew six cards while Yuji drew three cards. Perfect I drew exactly what I needed I activate the Equip Spell Dragon Sealing Talisman this negates the effects of the Dragon-Type Monster its equipped to so whatever crazy backward effect Heart-Earth Dragon has is negated. Heart-Earth Dragon was suddenly hit by a scroll with the Chinese characters that spelled the word seal in Chinese thus draining Heart-Earth Dragon of its effects. Now to finish this Majesty Lord Buster attack Heart-Earth Dragon with Either Sword Slash. Lord Buster delivered the final blow and sent Yuji flying as Silver absorbed all of his numbers except for Utopia who managed to resist being taken.

Silver Chance:3900
Yuji Tsukumo:0

WINNER: Silver Chance

“ Fine you beat me go ahead do your worst but just know I will not yield to the Europian Union,” Yuji said.

“ Listen Yuji was it we are not with the EU we are the US Team,” Silver pointed out.

“ Lier you three are with them how else can you explain Number 76 taking on a new form from its original?” Yugi asked.

“ Number 76 was like this when it was made for me,” Silver explained.

“ Why are you so convinced that we are with the EU anyway?” Lightning asked.

“ Becuase they took my friend Nova and the numbers and since you have some of them than that must mean your allied with them,” Yuji pointed out.

“ Kid I’m not the only one with number monsters I beaten two duelists who were allied with the EU team that had them and recently there has been an outbreak of them all across our home town of Canterlot City,” Silver explained.

“ Since you know so much about these numbers why not tell us everything from the beginning,” Lyra said.

“ Since you beat me fine the numbers are from a place called Astral World which is a world full of these blue beings made of energy,” Yuji explained before Silver stopped him there.

“ Did you say blue energy?” Silver asked.

“ I did why do you ask?” Yugi asked.

“ After my last duel against a number user when I absorbed her numbers one of them which was Number 69 showed me this vision of a being made of this energy locked away in a dungeon crying out for help,” Silver said.

“ That must have been Nova he must have included a distress signal into one of them hoping someone would hear it,” Yuji said.

“ I just wish he picked one that wasn’t full of so much anger and hatred,” Silver pointed out.

“ You said earlier that the numbers were appearing all over your home town?” Yuji asked.

“ I did,” Silver replied.

“ Then it might be possible that they have been scattered all over the world,” Yuji theorized.

“ Come to think of it there was that news report about a rocket exploding in the atmosphere a month ago. The numbers must have been hidden among the debris,” Lyra said.

“ Well, in any case, I now know what my mission is and since you took all of my the numbers I collected thus far Utopia and I are starting from square one. Be ready to hand over your numbers when we meet again Silver Chance but until then good luck with the rest of the Grand Prix,” Yuji said before running off and making a huge jump while shouting “Time to high five the sky”

Silver and his team decided to check out the hot springs after two intense duels in a row.

Shogeki Revenge Match

In one of the assembly halls of the totsuki Grand Resort, the Totsuki Academy students were all in the middle of the 200 plate challenge for their annual training camp. One student Ogawa Kenji was looking confident in his skills as a chef with only five more plates to go and only thirty minutes on the clock until a boy with red hair and yellow eyes wearing a white headband began performing a show of skills in a desperate attempt to finish the challenge in time. His skills were so amazing that customers from the other tables including Kenji’s left to see the show. This went on for the duration o the time left that Kenji had no customers coming to his table to eat his Egg Muffins. As the clock reaches the ten-second mark the PA system spoke.

“ Soma Yukihira you served two hundred,” The announcement said before time ran out and those who failed the challenge were immediately escorted off of Totsuki grounds. Kenji did not take this lying down and went off to plot his revenge on Soma.

“ You’re going to pay for ruining my life Soma Yukihira,” Kenji shouted before a white card flew into his hand and a yellow 59 mark appeared on his right hand.

Meanwhile during the match between Team Silverwing and Team Kagaku Kenji was getting his revenge on Soma by finishing him in a duel.

“ You may have the upper hand when it comes to a Food War but not in this game and to prove it I will have my monster end you number 59 Crooked Cook attack Soma directly with Full Course Mayhem. Crooked Cook began heating something in his frying pan before throwing it at Soma and burning up the rest of his Life Points.

Ogawa Kenji:4000
Soma Yukihira:0
WINNER:Ogawa Kenji

The other students at Totsuki began to panic after seeing Soma lose.

Sometime Later Yuji was searching the city for any sign of Number Monsters until he saw a bunch of people fleeing from a huge piece of private property up ahead. Yuji decided to check out the commotion and noticed a boy with blue hair and red eyes looking like a man possessed.

“ I take it you are the one causing this mass panic?” Yuji asked.

“ Those talentless hacks wouldn’t know fine dining and perfect food even if it was staring them in the face and this institution is no better for expelling me just because that dam transfer student stole everyone’s customers during the training camp,” Kenji said as the number on his right hand appeared.

“ I don,t know what you are talking about and to be honest this has nothing to do with me but I can,t just let you and your number keep attacking innocent people,” Yuji said.

“As if you can beat me I’m not just a great cook I was also one of the top eight at last year’s regionals,” Kenji said.

“ As if I care are we going to do this or not?” Yuji asked.

“ Fine I will whip up a full course of pain for you but can you finish it?” Kenji said as he activated his duel disk.

“ It’s on,” Yuji said as he activated his duel disk and both of them drew their opening hands.

DUEL
Yuji Tsukumo:4000
Ogawa Kenji:4000

“ I will go first,” Kenji said before looking at his hand. Kenji saw he drew what he wanted and pulled a card from his hand. First I summon Food Warrior Furikake Rice. A bowl of rice suddenly appeared on the field before a bunch of cubes and scrambled eggs fell onto it and caused it to transform into a warrior made of rice wearing orange armor with a yellow sword.

Food Warrior Furikake Rice
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ Next I activate the Spell Second Serving. Kenji said as a spell with an image of someone trying a bowl of rice appeared. While I control one Food Warrior Monster this spell allows me to Special Summon Another monster with the same name from my Deck so I summon another Food Warrior Furikake Rice. the same monster appeared and crossed swords with the other one.

Food Warrior Furikake Rice
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ Next I overlay both my Level Four Furikake Rice to build the overlay network. Both of Kenji’s monsters transformed into streams of orange energy as they entered a galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty culinary master that creates nothing less than the finest of meals for the gods take form and serve my foes the mightiest dish of demise! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 59 Crooked Cook!

A giant chef hat with the number 59 on it appeared before spinning and rising revealing a muscular man with a flamethrower on his back and cooking utensils strapped to his belt.

Number 59 Crooked Cook
RANK:4
ATK:2300
UNITS:2

“ But I’m not done yet next I activate the Field Spell Food Warrior Battle Kitchen. The surrounding area suddenly transformed into an arena with two countertops and a judging table. Once per turn this card allows me to Special Summon a Food Warrior monster from my hand or Deck in Defense mode so from my Deck I special Summon Food Warrior Chaliapin Steak in Defense Mode. A steak covered in onions suddenly appeared before the onions were removed and a warrior with a spear and the steak acting as the shield appeared.

Food Warrior Chaliapin Steak
LV:3
DEF:1600

“ I activate Chaliapin Steak’s Effect when he is Normal Or Special Summoned I can add a Food War Ingredient Equip Spell from my Deck to my hand so I will add Food War Ingredient Lemon Curd to my hand. Kenji added his card to his hand. With that, I shall end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Yuji said as he drew his sixth card. Yuji remembered what Crooked Cook did and looked at his hand and need his move. First I summon Gogogo Golem in attack mode. A golem-like monster made of brown bricks appeared and punched forward.

Gogogo Golem
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ Next since I normal Summoned a Level Four Monster I can Special Summon Kagetokage from my hand. The shadow of a lizard began to crawl onto the field before a pair of red eyes rose above it.

Kagetokage
LV:4
ATK:1100

“ Next I overlay my level four Gogogo Golem and Kagetokage to build the overlay network. Gogogo Golem turned into a stream of orange energy while Kagetokage turned into a stream of purple energy and entered a galaxy like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty king of wishes take form and aid me in this fight! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 39 Utopia!

Utopia appeared on the field and took an offensive stance.

Number 39 Utopia
RANK:4
ATK:2500
UNITS:2

“ Now that the stage is set Time to battle Utopia attack, Crooked Cook, with Rising Sun Slash. Utopia drew his sword and prepared to strike. As Utopia got closer Kenji reacted.

“ I activate Crooked Cook’s effect once per turn during either of our turns I detach one overlay unit to destroy all other cards I control and Crooked Cook gains 300 attack points for each monster destroyed and sent to the GY by this effect until the End Phase. Crooked Cook absorbed one of his overlay units into the tank of his flamethrower and torched everything on Kenji’s field expect for himself.

2 - 1 = 1

2300 + 300 = 2600

“ I use one overlay unit to stop Utopia’s attack. Utopia used one of its overlay units to stop his attack.

2 - 1 = 1

“ Fine with me because now the main course is about to be served you see my Food Warriors have one effect in common when they are sent to the GY you take 600 points of damage so since two of them were sent to the GY that’s 1200 points of damage. A steak cutlet with some rice on it suddenly flew towards Yuji and forced its way down his gullet.

Yuji Tsukumo:2800
Ogawa Kenji:4000

“ No matter because I now have you where I want you I did not stop Utopia’s attack because your cook was stronger than Utopia I stopped it so I could do this I activate the Quick-Play Spell Double or Nothing this not only doubles Utopia’s attack points it also allows him to attack again. Utopia powered up ready to strike again as he drew both his swords.

2500 x 2 = 5000

“ 5000 attack points?” Kenji said in shock.

“ That’s right and now to take down your monster Utopia attack Crooked Cook with Rising Sun Double Slash. Utopia delivered a double slash on Crooked Cook only for Kenji to react to it.

“ My cook is going nowhere because by discarding my Food Warrior Semifreddo I can prevent Crooked Cook from being destroyed by battle. A slice of Lemon Cake wearing a yellow princess dress appeared on blocked the attack.

“ You still take damage from the battle,” Yuji said as Kenji was sent back a few feet.

Yuji Tsukumo:2800
Ogawa Kenji:1600

“ I’m not the only one taking damage since I sent another Food Warrior to my GY you take 600 points of damage. A piece of lemon cake was sent flying towards Yuji and he swallowed it.

Yuji Tsukumo:2200
Ogawa Kenji:1600

“ Since I failed to destroy your monster in battle I can activate the Quick-Play Spell Xyz Murder,” Yuji said as a spell with an image of Utopia stabbing Black Ray Lancer appeared. I can only activate this card when one of my Xyz Monsters fails to destroy one of yours and this card destroys that very monster that survived so say goodbye to Crooked Cook. A sword was shot out of the card and stabbed Crooked Cook thus destroying it.

“ No matter since you destroyed my monster you also sent my Furikake Rice to the GY and I’m sure you know what that means,” Kenji said

“ I get another serving of 600 points of damage,” Yuji said.

“ Hope you enjoy it. A bowl of rice was sent towards Yuji and like with the rest of the food he swallowed all of it.

Yuji Tsukumo:1600
Ogawa Kenji:1600

“ I end my turn by setting one card Face-Down,” Yuji said as a set card appeared behind Utopia.

“ My turn I draw,” Kenji said as he drew his second card. Kenji saw what he drew and smiled. I activate the Spell Card of Sanctity this allows both of us to draw until we have six cards in our hands. Both of them drew five cards and Kenji Smiled after seeing what he drew. Looks like my luck keeps going and now for some more damage, I discard Food Warrior Chou Farci to add the Field Spell Food warrior battle Kitchen from my deck to my hand.

“ Not so fast I activate the Counter Trap Hand Trap Jammer,” Yuji said as a trap with an image of Ash Blossom being trapped in a spell circle flipped face up. When you activate the effect of a monster from your hand by discarding a card from my hand not only is your effect negated but the card is also banished so since your Chou Farci failed to enter the GY I don,t any damage this time.

“ You may have dodged that one but let’s see you dodge this I activate the Quick-Play Spell Trap Booster by discarding a card from my hand I can Activate a Trap from my hand so I discard this and from my hand, I Activate the Trap Souffle Omelette this summons as many Souffle Omelette Tokens as possible to my field. Five pans appeared and flipped what looked like omelets onto the field with eyes.

Souffle Omelette Token x5
LV:3
ATK:500

“ Time to end this I tribute all five of my tokens to inflict 500 points of damage for each one so that’s a total of 2500 points of damage been nice knowing you. The omelets flew right for Yuji until he reacted.

“ Your right this duel is over for you because by banishing my Returnmato from my GY all of the damage is redirected to you. A tomato wearing a sweatband appeared and sent the omelets right back at Kenji thus causing him to swallow all five of them and reducing his points to zero while Yuji absorbed Crooked Cook.

Yuji Tsukumo:1600
Ogawa Kenji:0
WINNER:Yuji Tsukumo

“ No fair I lost again guess all I am is just a worthless cook and a worthless duelist,” Kenji said.

“ Your not a worthless cook,” Soma said as he came up to him.

“ Your that transfer student that stole everyone’s customers during the 200 plate challenge,” Kenji said in shock.

“ That was never my intention I was just trying to finish the challenge and bearly made it but your dish was brilliant,” Soma said.

“ What difference does it make I’m still expelled and if you can,t graduate from Totsuki than what future do you even have as a chef?” Kenji asked.

“ Its true Totsuki Academy is the greatest culinary school in the world but it’s not the only one have you ever thought of going to another one I bet all those other students who also got expelled never gave up and got back up as well,” Soma said.

“ You’re right I still have hope thanks for reminding me,” Kenji said.

“ No problem and feel free to swing by my family’s dinner and I will have one of my Souffle Omelets waiting for you,” Soma said.

After all the chaos was dealt with Yuji took his leave and continued his search for the number monsters.

“ When I get home I should ask my mom to whip me up some of that duel fuel my dad loves so much,” Yuji said to himself while thinking about Nova.

Ratchet Departs From The Front

Months ago before the beginning of the Chinese Selection Tournament, an attack on the legendary Duel Temple high in the mountains was in progress. A teenage boy with white hair red eyes wearing a black karate outfit with ripped sleeves and muscles was charging through everyone until he reached the room with what he was looking for.

“ At long last my long-awaited prize,” The boy said before an old man threw his cane at him and got his attention.

“ You can,t have that deck, Jian Feng,” The old man said.

“ You can,t stop me, master Ju-Long,” Jain said. A decisive battle of martial arts suddenly took place inside the room and just when it looked like Master Ju-Long was about to win Jain dodged and delivered a powerful blow to Ju-Long’s back thus rendering him unable to move. After the fight ended Jain broke the seal on what looked like a metal box and removed a deck from it. Just what I hoped for, Be grateful I’m not finishing you off because I have a much bigger fight ahead of me.

“ You may walk out of here with the forbidden deck but someone will stop you,” Ju-Long said before Jain walked away as if he considered that to be a lie.

Meanwhile on the plane to China Silver and his team were discussing the upcoming match.

“ So what do you think Team hie, hiu?” Lightning asked trying to correctly pronounce the name of the next team.

“ Its Hēi'àn jù lóng,” Lyra said while looking a bit under the weather.

“ Are you feeling ok love?” Silver asked.

“ I’m fine perfectly fine,” Lyra said before Silver put his hand on her forehead and felt how hot it was.

“ No your not, you’re burning up when we get to the arena we are having you sit this one out,” Silver said.

“ But without me, our team will only have 8000 life points between us,” Lyra said.

“ Your health is more important than this tournament and besides the rules say that each team is permitted one sub-member in the event a regular is unable to compete,” Silver said.

“ But we don,t have any sub-members,” Lightning said.

“ I am the Sub-Member why else do you think I came with you guys,” Ratchet said.

“ Do you even know what we are up against?” Lyra asked.

“ Though opponents I know but I will do my best to help the team you just focus on getting better,” Rachet said. As soon as the plane landed the Arena was just across the street and everything was ready on their side.

“ You guys are on time we are about to start as soon as the other team gets here,” The official said.

“ One moment please I need to make a slight change with our team’s roster. our lead duelist is not feeling well and I would like to have our sub fill in for her,” Silver asked.

“ Go right ahead just fill this out and the mc will know what to do,” The official said before handing Silver a form to fill out. After filling the form out and handing it to the Official Silver took Lyra to the infirmary to get looked at. The nurse placed a thermometer in Lyra’s mouth and later took it out before giving her diagnosis.

“ Hundred and five, You made the right call pulling your friend out young man because she has a summer cold but don,t worry your friend should be better soon if she gets plenty of rest,” The nurse said.

“ But how will Ratchet duel without a Runner?” Lyra asked.

“ During our training period, He helped me build one for him and you will be surprised how much he picked up in just a few days,” Silver said.

“ In any case, I have an old Chinese Remedy that will keep the fever down a little so you can enjoy the match,” The nurse said before having Lyra drink some odd-looking drink which she did not like the taste of. Don,t worry this stuff may smell and taste bad but it really works.

Minutes later Silver and Lyra returned to the pit to get ready for the match.

“ What’s the diagnosis?” Lightning asked.

“ Lyra has a summer cold so all she needs is some rest and she will be better and ready for the next round,” Silver said.

“ Assuming we win this one first look at those guys they look so ripped they could crush our runners into cubes with their bare hands,” Ratchet said referring to Team Hēi'àn jù lóng.

“ Relax Ratchet they may be big but it’s not about how big your muscles are it’s about how skilled you are with your cards,” Silver said. As they were talking the MC began his announcement.

“ Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the second match of the W.R.G.P now let’s introduce the teams first representing our country the team of former students at the Duel Temple Team Hēi'àn jù lóng,” The MC shouted only for the crowd to boo them even though they were the home team. And all the way from North America the heroes of the North Team Silverwing. This time to crowd cheered for them since they would rather side with the good guys instead of the villains who somehow manage to win the right to represent their country. And now let’s get this duel started first filling in for Team Silverwing’s lead duelist will be their sub-member Crimson Ratchet. Ratchet looked nervous about his first-ever duel in the tournament and even more nervous about the big guy with rippling muscles and a blue sleeveless karate outfit that pulled next to him. And Filling in for Team Hēi'àn jù lóng is Hak Foo.

“ Like the prying Mantis devours its mate we will devour your team’s chances of winning this match,” Hak Foo said in a very loud and booming voice.

“ Not if I can help it my team is counting on me and I won,t let them down,” Ratchet replied with as much strength as he could muster.

“ Now activating the Action Field Speed World V,” The Mc Announced as the whole track transformed into a smaller version of the great wall of China that looked like a racecourse. After both Duelists took off it looked like Ratchet was about to take the corner first until Hak Foo hit his nitro and managed to send Ratchet spinning for a bit after his massive runner past him. As soon as Ratchet regained control he and Hak Foo drew their opening hands and started the duel.

DUEL
Crimson Ratchet:4000
Hak Foo:4000

“ Like the swift Chatea, I will go first and to Start, I activate the Spell Polymerization and use to fuse my Hayate the Earth Star and Tenma the Sky Star. Both cards appeared before turning into the monsters depicted on them.

Mighty warrior of the earth combine with the swiftest warrior in the sky and become one! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level Ten! Idaten the Conqueror Star!

A Chinese warrior with purple armor and a trident appeared and spun his weapon around before pointing it forward as a sign he was ready to fight.

Idatan the Conqueror Star
LV:10
ATK:3000

“ Not a bad start but that doesn’t scare me,” Ratchet said.

“ Who said I was done when Idatan is Fusion Summoned I can add a Level Five Warrior Monster from my deck to my hand and I think I will add Kaiki the Unity Star to my hand. After adding his card to his hand Hak Foo decided to end his turn. Go ahead and make your move but just know whatever you do is futile.

“ We shall see. My turn I draw,” Ratchet said as he drew his sixth card. Ratchet looked at his hand and saw his strategy manifest before him. First I activate the Spell One For One by discarding a monster from my Hand I can Special Summon a Level One monster from my Hand or Deck so I will discard Morphtronic Solartron from my hand and from my Deck I Special Summon Morphtronic Celfon in attack mode. Celfon appeared before unfolding into robot mode ready to fight.

Morphtroninc Celfon
LV:1
ATK:100

“ But one is not enough next I activate the Spell Machine Duplication when a Machine-Type Monster with 500 or fewer attack points is on my field I can target that monster and Special Summon up to two more copies of that monster from my deck so I Special Summon two more Celfons. Two more Celfons appeared and flanked the first one.

Morphtroninc Celfon x2
LV:1
ATK:100

“ But I’m not done swarming the field yet because I activate my first Celfon’s attack position effect it dials a random number between one and six then I excavate that many cards and if any of those cards is a Morphtronic Monster I can Special Summon it so let’s do this Dial On. The first Celfon began flashing its numbers until it stopped on two which allowed Ratchet to check his top two cards which to his relief revealed what he needed. It looks like my spamming continues because I get to Special Summon Morphtronic Gametron in attack mode. A handheld gaming device appeared on the field before transforming into a robot with black parts and a power display on its screen.

Morphtronic Gametron
LV:2
ATK:600

“ Next up is the effect of Mortroninc Solartron in my GY while I control a face-up Morphtroninc Tuner Monster I can Special Summon it from my GY. A solar panel appeared before unfolding into a robot with the panels on its shoulders.

Morphtroninc Solartron
LV:5
ATK:1600 + 400 = 2000

“ I should mention Solartron raises all my morphotropic monster’s attack or defense by 400 depending on which modes its in. All of Ratchet’s monsters began to power up.

100 + 400 = 500 x3

600 + 400 = 1000

“ So what good will those wimps do you none of them can come close to my monster,” Hak Foo said.

“ Maybe not on their own but I’m not done yet I still have my Normal Summon so I will tribute one of my Celfons to Tribute Summon Morphtronic Tablon in attack mode. A tablet appeared before transforming into a robot with the different parts of the screen covered.

Morphtroninc Tablon
LV:5
ATK:2000 + 400 = 2400

“ Now that my monsters are all here time to Summon my secret weapon I tune my level two Gametron with my level five Salartron and Tablon to Synchro Summon the king of all machines. Gametron displayed a message that said (tuning) before bursting into two stars and then two green rings that encircled both Solartron and Tablon and turned them into ten stars that fell into alignment.

LV5 + LV5 + LV2 = LV12

“ From the farthest reaches of the galaxy, I call forth the mightiest of the machines from another world! Synchro Summon! Come Forth! Level Twelve! Morphtroninc Primus!

A giant planet made of metal began to eclipse the sun before unfolding into a giant robot that was about twice the size of the tallest building in the world with a massive rail gun.

Morphtroninc Primus
LV:12
ATK:5000

“ Since when did Ratchet have a card that insanely powerful not to mention big enough to fracture the surface of the earth?” Lyra asked.

“ I traded it to him you see when we went through our latest batch of booster packs I pulled that card and he pulled the one card I could never get no matter how hard I tried so he has his ultimate weapon and I have the card that will allow my destruction swords to truly shine,” Silver said.

“ What exactly does it do?” Lightning asked.

“ Just watch and you will see,” Silver said.

“ 5000 attack points?” Hak foo said in shock.

“ That’s just the beginning Primus has two powerful effects depending on which mode it’s in and while it’s in attack mode twice per turn he allows me to tribute one monster I control to inflict 300 points of damage to you for each Morphtroninc monster in my GY so I tribute one of my Celfons to use this effect. One of the Celfons was absorbed into the rail gun and then caused it to build energy and blasted Hak foo for 1500 points of damage.

Crimson Ratchet:4000
Hak Foo:2500

“ Now I activate that effect again this time for 1800 points of damage. Hak Foo got blasted again and was looking for action cards with no luck.

Crimson Ratchet:4000
Hak Foo:700

“ Time to end this Primus attack Idaten the Conqueror Star with All Spark Obliteration Cannon. Primus unleashed all of its power and blasted Idatan but not before Hak Foo managed to snag the first Action Card of the duel.

“ I may be going down but before I make a dent in your life points I activate the Action Spell Phoenix Arrow this inflicts 1500 points of damage to you. Before Idatan exploded Hak Foo fired a flaming arrow at Ratchet and nailed him.

Crimson Ratchet:2500
Hak Foo:0
WINNER: Crimson Ratchet

As soon as they made it back to the stadium Hak Foo returned to his team’s pit with his head down in shame.

“ You dishonored our team with that shameful performance,” Jian Feng shouted in anger.

“ Forgive me, master Jian Feng, that boy’s monster took me by surprise,” Hak Foo said.

“ Now it’s my turn to take the field and do some damage this is going to be fun,” a man with white skin and red eyes said before taking the baton from Hak Foo and laughing maniacally after taking off.

“ You better hope Shi Zui can clean up your mess Hak Foo because I want to fight that red-haired boy and whatever that power is I sense coming from him,” Jian Feng said.

Mighty Defense and Offense

“ And now taking the stage for Team Hēi'àn jù lóng is Shi Zui,” The Mc announced as Shi Zui raced on to the track and lapped Ratchet before he drew his opening hand.

DUEL
Crimson Ratchet:2500
Shi Zui:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Shi Zui said as he drew his sixth card. Shi Zui smiled wickedly after seeing what he drew. First, since I have no Spells or Traps in my GY I can Special Summon Superheavy Samurai Big Waraji from my hand in Defense Mode. A gold robot with a metal frame around it appeared on Shi Zui’s Field.

Superheavy Samurai Big Waraji
LV:5
DEF:1800

“ Next I use Big Waraji’s effect when tribute summoning a Machine-Type Monster Big Waraji counts as two tributes instead of just one so I tribute my Big Waragi to Summon Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei. Big Waraji split into two before opening a rainbow portal and out of that portal came a mechanical warrior with orange armor that took an offensive stance.

Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei
LV:8
ATK:1000

“ That’s it just 1000 attack points? You do know compared to Primus that is nothing,” Ratchet pointed out.

“ Who said I was done there is more to come so first when Big Benkei is Normal or Special Summoned he switches to Defense Mode. Big Benkei took up a defensive stance.

Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei
LV:8
DEF:3500

“ And since I don,t have any Spell or Traps in my GY I can special Summon the tuner Monster Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter from my Hand. A small robot with a conch shell appeared before blowing into it.

Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter
LV:2
DEF:600

“ And now to bring forth my heavy hitter I tune my level two Trumpeter with my Level eight Big Benkei to Synchro Summon your destruction. Trumpeter blew his conch before transforming into two stars and then two green rings that encircled Big Benkei and turned him into eight stars that fell into alignment.

8 + 2 = 10

“ Mighty Warrior who mounts the greatest defense against my foes come to me and aid me in this fight! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level Ten! Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo! A samurai-like robot almost as big as a mountain with green and yellow armor took up a meditative stance while stabbing his sword into the ground.

Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo
LV:10
DEF:3800

“ Nice try but even in defense mode, your monster is still too weak,” Ratchet pointed out only for Shi Zui to burst his bubble again.

“ Not after I Equip Superheavy Samurai Soul Kudayari from my hand When I have no Spells or Traps in my GY I can Equip this monster to a Superheavy Samurai monster I control and raise that Monster’s defense Points by 2000. Susanowo’s sword was replaced with a gold spear with a gold drill tip at the end.

3800 + 2000 = 5800

“ And I will also equip Superheavy Samurai Soulpiercer to Susanowo as well which now gives him the ability to inflict Piercing Damage. A crossbow was suddenly equipped to Susanowo’s left arm. Now its time to Battle Susanowo attack Primus with Kudayari Strike. Susanowo grabbed his kudayari and spun it around creating a tornado from the rotating drill tip.

“ How is this possible he shouldn’t be able to attack his monster is in defense mode?” Lightning asked.

“ Your wrong there is a way there is one known archetype that has the unique ability to attack while in defense mode and that archetype is called the Superheavy Samurais they also require you to have no spells or traps in your GY to use most of the monsters to their fullest,” Silver pointed out.

“ How is this possible?” Ratchet asked.

“ Allow me to explain the unique effect the Superheavy Samurais have you see they have the ability to attack while in defense mode and their defense points are treated as their attack points,” Shi Zui explained before Primus exploded and an arrow struck Ratchet.

Crimson Ratchet:1700
Shi Zui:4000

“ Now you’re in for it when primus is destroyed by battle or card effect I can Special Summon Power Tool Dragon from my Extra Deck. Power Tool Dragon suddenly flew out of the explosion and punched his shovel forward.

Power Tool Dragon
LV:7
ATK:2300

“ You’re also in for a surprise when a Superheavy Samurai monster swinging Kudayari destroys a monster in battle it can attack again by halving its defense points. Susonowo suddenly glowed as its defense points went down.

5800 /2 = 2900

“ Susanowo attack Power Tool Dragon. Susanowo repeated the same move as before. Just when things were looking hopeless for Ratchet he spotted a clutch action card and grabbed it just in the nick of time.

“ I activate the Action Spell High Dive this gives my dragon an extra 1000 attack points until the End Phase. Power Tool powered up as the tornado was coming.

2300 + 1000 = 3300

Power Tool Dragon retaliated by pointing his screwdriver arm forward and spinning it in the opposite direction of the tornado thus canceling it out and allowing Power Tool to destroy Susanowo.

“ Don,t think you beat me just yet because by discarding my Superheavy Samurai Soulbeads I can bring Susanowo back to my field in attack mode. A beaded necklace appeared before Susanowo grabbed it and was pulled out by it.

Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo
LV:10
ATK:2400

“ Before I end my turn I activate Susanowo’s effect while I have no Spells or Traps in my GY I can target a Spell or Trap in your GY and set it on my field so I will be setting that High Dive you just used. Suddenly a set card with an A on it appeared on Shi Zui’s field. With that, I shall end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Ratchet said as he drew his third card. Ratchet looked nervous after seeing what he was in for if he attacked recklessly. After checking his hand he noticed a potential way out and bet everything on Power Tool Dragon coming through for him. I activate my Dragon’s effect once per turn I can add a random equip spell to my hand from my deck. Ratchet’s deck began shuffling until a card stuck out and after pulling it out Ratchet was relieved to see his gambit worked. Looks like my gambit worked I activate the Equip Spell Double Tool C&D during my turn this gives Power Tool an extra 1000 attack points. Power Tool’s shovel and screwdriver changed into a circular saw and drill.

2300 + 1000 = 3300

“ Next I equip your Susanowo with the Equip Spell Power Bomb when your monster is destroyed either by battle or card effect we both take damage equal to that monster’s attack points.

“ If you aim to take both of us out it won,t work because I will still overpower your monster,” Shi Zui said.

“ We shall see Power Tool Dragon attack Susanowo with Crafty Break. Power Tool charged forward with its drill ready to destroy Susanowo until Shi Zui reacted.

“ I activate the set Action Spell High Dive not only does Susanowo gain 1000 attack points but the card is also banished since it was set by Susanowo’s effect. Susanowo powered up.

2400 + 1000 = 3400

Ratchet looked around and noticed a clutch Action Card ahead. Ratchet was expecting Shi Zui to fight him for it but he ignored it since he knew using it would shut his deck down. After grabbing it Ratchet quickly activated it. I activate the Action Spell Rejuvenation this gives my Power tool an extra 800 attack points during Damage Calculation. Power Tool suddenly grew stronger.

3300 + 800 = 4100

Power Tool suddenly boar through Susanowo and took a small dent out of Shi Zui’s life points.

Crimson Ratchet:1700
Shi Zui:3300

“ Now Power Bomb’s effect goes off and we both take 3400 points of damage. An explosion covered the field and both Ratchet and Shi Zui were caught in it

Crimson Ratchet:0
Shi Zui:0
DRAW

Both duelists returned to their respective pits and passed the baton to their next duelists.

“ Sorry I could not keep the match going any longer,” Ratchet apologized as he handed his Power Tool Dragon and Double Tool C&D to Lightning.

“ It’s ok Ratchet you manage to get us this far that’s all that counts now leave the rest to us,” Lightning said before she took off.

On the other side, Shi Zui returned in disgrace after losing to Ratchet.

“ You are an absolute disgrace to our team Shi Zui,” Jian Feng shouted before ripping the baton off of Shi Zui’s arm and taking off. As soon as both duelists took the track the MC announced their arrival.

“ And now taking the stage for team Silverwing is Lightning Dust and Taking the stage for Team Hēi'àn jù lóng is the leader Jian Feng. After both duelists caught up to each other they drew their opening hands and began.

DUEL
Lightning Dust:4000
Jian Feng:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Jian Feng shouted as he drew his sixth card. Jian Feng looked pleased with what he drew and acted. First I activate the Spell Card Destruction now we send all the cards in our hands to the GY and draw the same number of cards. After they both discarded their hands and drew five new cards Lightning looked confused.

“ Why would you do that you just threw away your starting hand?” Lightning asked.

“ Let me tell you a story passed down among the students of the Duel Temple. In ancient times there were four powerful dragons that created the world, The Dragon Ruler of Boulders Redox created the land. The Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls Tidal created the seas. The Dragon Ruler of Storms Tempest created the winds that blow through the land. And Finally, The Dragon Ruler of Infernos Blaster created the sun itself. These four dragons were so powerful that they were sealed away inside the Duel Temple never to see the light of day ever again until now. So I banish my Debris Dragon and Mythic Gust Dragon to Summon from my GY Tempest Dragon Ruler of Storms. A tornado suddenly appeared and out of it came a dragon made of wind that unleashed a mighty roar.

Tempest Dragon Ruler of Storms
LV:7
ATK:2400

“ Next I activate the Equip Spell Different Dimension Reincarnation by discarding a card from my hand I can Special Summon a banished monster in attack mode and equip it with this card so welcome back Debris Dragon. A small white Dragon appeared before it was tied to a pink tether.

Debris Dragon
LV:4
ATK:1000

“ Next I activate the Effect of Land Mine Dragon from my GY when he is sent to my GY he can destroy one card on the field so say goodbye to Double Tool C&D. Double Tool was destroyed and Power Tool Dragon’s drill and saw reverted to a shovel and screwdriver. Next, I activate the Spell Raigeki to destroy your Dragon. Power Tool Dragon was instantly destroyed by a bolt of lightning leaving Lightning defenseless. Now its time I showed you one of this deck’s greatest weapons I tune my Level Four Debris Dragon with my Level seven Tempest to Synchro Summon one of the mightiest of dragons. Debris burst into four stars and then four green rings that encircled Tempest and turned him into seven stars that fell into alignment.

7 + 4 = 11

“ Mighty dragon that consumes the very sun itself takes flight and incinerate my foes with the might of the sun! Synchro Summon! Take Flight! Level Eleven! Star Eater!

A red-colored dragon with a serpent-like body coiled around what looked like the sun appeared before unleashing a mighty roar.

Star Eater
LV:11
ATK:3200

“ Cool monster too bad he won,t be sticking around because by discarding my Synchro Rewinder your Synchro Summon is negated. A clock appeared over Star Eater and started moving backward only for Star Eater to not look affected in the slightest. That’s impossible your Star Eater should be resting in your GY right now,” Lightning said in shock.

“ I never told you about my Star Eater yet so here is your first lesson Star Eater’s Synchro Summon cannot be negated so he will be sticking around and when he is Synchro Summoned cards and effects cannot be activated. And finally, when he attacks he is unaffected by other card effects until the end of the damage step,” Jian Feng said. Now to get rid of you so I can fight the one I want Star Eater Attack Lightning directly with Celestial Dragon Flame. Star Eater unleashed a breath of crimson-colored fire that burned Lightning upon contact.

Lightning Dust:800
Jian Feng:4000

Lightning looked around for action cards in a desperate attempt to stay in the game and found one ahead of her and grabbed it only to look shocked by what she just picked up.

“ Looks like I win you just grabbed the Action Trap Lousy Luck which inflicts 800 points of damage to you,” Jain Feng said mockingly as Lightning was zapped and ran out of Life Points.

Lightning Dust:0
Jian Feng:4000
WINNER: Jian Feng

After driving back to the stadium Lightning pulled over next to Silver and passed the baton to him.

“ Sorry I lost before I could do anything whatever he is using sure is powerful,” Lightning said.

“ Leave the rest to me something tells me his ultimate weapon has not been unleashed yet,” Silver said before taking off.

“ And taking the stage for Team Silverwing is the leader Silver Chance,” The Mc announced as Silver sped up and caught up to Jain Feng. after he caught up to him and drew his opening hand the duel picked up again.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Jian Feng:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver checked his hand and saw he had the best possible way to deal with Star Eater. First I summon Buster Whelp in attack Mode. Buster whelp flew onto the field before unleashing its cute little roar.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ When my Whelp is Normal Summoned I can add a Destruction Sword card to my hand so I will add Destruction Swordsman Fusion to my hand. After adding his declared card to his hand he continued his move. Next, I tribute my Whelp to Special Summon Buster Blader in attack mode. Buster Blader appeared on the field and began to power up.

Buster Blader
LV:7
ATK:2600 + 2000 = 4600

“ Next I activate the Spell Empty Grave,” Silver said as a spell with an image of an empty casket in a cemetery plot appeared. This allows each of us to Special Summon a Monster from our GYs in attack mode so from my GY I summon Buster Whelp. Buster whelp flew onto the field ready for more.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ Well, I bring back my Landmine Dragon. A red Dragon with spikes in certain places appeared before unleashing a roar.

Landmine Dragon
LV:3
ATK:1400

“ Now that the stage is set I activate the Quick-Play Spell Destruction Swordsman Fusion this allows me to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster that lists Buster Blader as material by using monsters on both sides of the field so I will fuse my Buster Blader with your Star Eater to Summon my greatest weapon against dragons. Both Buster Blader and Star Eater were absorbed into the fusion vortex before spinning.

“ Mighty dragon that consumes the sun combine with the valiant hero that slays all that is evil and become one! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level Eight! Buster Blader The dragon Destroyer Swordsman!

Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer appeared and looked ready to fight.

Buster Blader The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman
LV:8
ATK: 2800 + 4000 = 6800

“ Big deal that won,t stop me,” Jian Feng said.

“ It will once I explain my Swordsman’s effects first he forces all your Dragon-Type Monsters into Defense Mode and their effects are negated. Landmine Dragon suddenly took a defensive stance.

Landmine Dragon
LV:3
DEF:1000

“ Now to end this Dragon Destroyer attack Landmine Dragon with Dragon Soul Slash. As Dragon Destroyer was approaching Jain Feng noticed a clutch action card coming up and grabbed it then activated it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Evasion which stops your attack. Looks like I’m still in this match,” Jain Feng said with pride.

“ Fine I end my turn,” Silver said.

“ My turn I draw,” Jain Feng said as he drew his third card. Jain Feng was not happy about his monsters being stopped and then noticed he drew the one card that could possibly turn things around. First I activate the Spell Dragon,s Final Wish,” Jain Feng said as a spell with an image of a dragon spirit flying off into the sunset appeared. By banishing a Dragon-Type Monster from my GY I can draw one card for every level that monster has so by banishing my Star Eater I draw eleven cards. Jain Feng drew his eleven cards as Dragon Destroyer lost power.

6800 - 1000 = 5800

28 - 11 = 17

“ Why would you take such a huge risk like that?” Silver asked.

“ So I can summon forth my greatest weapon but first I activate the Spell Magical Copy this allows me to reuse a Spell card in my GY so I will use my Raigeki to destroy your monsters. A bolt of lightning destroyed both of Silver’s Monsters leaving him defenseless. Next, I banish my Debris Dragon and Tempest from my GY to Special Summon Blaster Dragon Ruler of Infernos. A dragon made of magma suddenly took form and unleashed a mighty roar.

Blaster Dragon Ruler of Infernos
LV:7
ATK:2800

“ Since I banished Tempest he allows me to search for a WIND Attribute Dragon-Type Monster so I will add Handcuffs Dragon to my Hand. After adding his declared card to his already big hand he pulled his next card. Next, I activate the Spell Dragon’s Light by discarding a Dragon-Type Monster from my hand all Dragon-Type monsters I control become the same level as the discarded monster so by sending my Level Eight Mythic Flame Dragon to my GY both Blaster and LandMine become Level Eight as well. A divine light covered both Blaster and LandMine and raised their levels

7 + 1 = 8

3 + 5 = 8

“ Now that the stage is set I overlay my Level Eight Landmine Dragon and Blaster in order to build the overlay network. Both of Jain Feng’s monsters turned into streams of red energy as they entered a galaxy-like portal and exploded.

“ Mightiest dragon of them all take form and unleash your wrath upon my foe! Xyz Summon! Roar! Number 46 Dragluon! A bunch of blonde furs tied in knots appeared before transforming into a white dragon with yellow in some places and a yellow 46 mark on its left wing.

Number 46 Dragluon
RANK:8
ATK:3000
UNITS:2

“ Kind of figured there would be a number monster mixed into this match,” Silver said.

“ Wait till you see what dragluon can do but first lets set the stage I activate the Spell Soul Designator,” Jain Feng said as a spell with an image of a fiendish looking hand pointing at Jack Atlas with a fiery version of Red Dragon Archfiend behind him appeared. This allows me to guess the name of a monster and if you happen to have that monster either in your Main Deck or Extra Deck it’s automatically Summoned to your field ignoring the Summoning Conditions and the Monster I declare is Clearwing Synchro Dragon. Silver Extra Deck suddenly glowed and out of it came Clearwing which appeared on the field ready to fight.

Clearwing Synchro Dragon
LV:7
ATK:2500

“ Why would you allow me to Summon my ace just like that?” Silver asked.

“ So I can have the pleasure of destroying it right in front of you especially since Dragluon renders the effects of your Dragon-Type Monsters useless until the end of your turn. A diagram suddenly appeared beneath Clearwing and zapped him. Next, I activate Dragluon’s effect If I control no other monsters I can detach one overlay unit to Special Summon a Dragon-Type Monster from my hand so Welcome to the field Handcuffs Dragon. After swallowing one of its overlay units dragluon opened a portal for a dragon that looked like a pair of handcuffs to fly out.

2 - 1 = 1

Handcuffs Dragon
LV:5
ATK:1800

“ Time to let the devastation begin Handcuffs Dragon attack Clearwing Synchro Dragon. Handcuffs lunged at Clearwing only for Clearwing to retaliate and destroy it.

Silver Chance:4000
Jian Feng:3300

“ Why would you do that you just damaged yourself,” Silver asked.

“ So I can weaken your Dragon you see when Handcuffs Dragon is destroyed it equips on to the monster responsible and drains that monster of 1800 attack points. Suddenly the spirit form of Handcuffs appeared before latching on to Clearwing who could not use its Dicronic Mirror thanks to Dragluon.

2500 - 1800 = 700

“ Now for the real attack Dragluon attack Clearwing with Sacred Fire Blast. Dragluon unleashed a stream of golden fire that was aimed right for Clearwing. Just when things were looking hopeless Silver saw a clutch Action card and grabbed it before activating it in the nick of time.

“ I activate the Action Spell Big Escape this ends the Battle Phase. Despite being tied up Clearwing managed to dodge the flame.

“ Fine, I set three cards facedown and end my turn,” Jian Feng said as three set cards appeared behind Dragluon.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card. Silver was in a bind with Clearwing tied up and weakened and a number monster staring him down. After seeing what he drew Silver saw some hope. I may not be able to use Clearwing’s effects but I can break the handcuffs that bind him with the Spell Equipment Change this allows me to send one equip card on one of my monsters to the GY and replace it with an Equip Spell in my Deck so goodbye Handcuffs Dragon and hello Armor Of Unity. Handcuffs Dragon suddenly broke and was replaced by armor that looked like a mishmash of different dragons.

700 + 1800 = 2500

“ Thanks to this armor my Clearwing cannot be destroyed by Battle and any damage I take is reduced to zero,” Silver said to Jian Feng who was not impressed.

“ You may have freed your Dragon from the bind of my Handcuffs Dragon but your still not safe I activate the Trap Dust Tornado to blow away your armor. A tornado appeared and blew away Clearwing’s Armor.

“ When Armor of Unity is destroyed by a Card Effect I draw two cards. After drawing his two cards Silver was pleased to see he had more options now. I set two cards facedown and end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Jian Feng said as he drew his sixth card. After looking at his hand he saw many ways to destroy Silver but decided to really rattle him with his next move. I activate Dragluon’s second effect while I control no other Monsters I can detach one Overlay Unit to gain control of one of your Dragon-Type Monsters so hand over your Clearwing.

1 - 1 = 0

Clearwing tried to resist being taken but failed and stood next to Dragluon. Now that I have your monster time to Battle Dragluon attack Silver Directly. Before Dragluon could unleash its attack Silver went for one of his set cards.

“ I’m not letting you attack me that easily I activate the Continuous Trap Dragon Destroyer’s Haki,” Silver said as a trap with an image of Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman emitting the same power he uses to force dragons into hiding flipped face-up. If Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer swordsman is in my GY this trap forces all Dragon-Type monsters on the field to switch into defense mode. Silver’s trap began to emit the same force as dragon Destroyer until Jian Feng reacted.

“ Nice try I activate the Counter Trap Flame Of the Dragon King,” Jian Feng said as a trap with an image of a mighty dragon unleashing a phoenix shaped flame flipped face-up. While I control a Face-Up Dragon-Type Monster This card negates the activation of one of your Spells, Traps, or Monster Effects. The phoenix shaped flame flew at Silver’s trap and destroyed it. The attack continued and just when it looked like he was about to be nailed he spotted a clutch Action Card and grabbed it then Activated it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Evasion now your Dragluon’s attack is negated. Silver swerved to the left and managed to dodge the flame.

“ You may have dodged that attack but let’s see how you like being attacked by your own monster Clearwing Synchro Dragon attack your former master directly. Clearwing flew into the air and then performed its whirlwind slasher attack on Silver thus draining him of most of his life points.

Silver Chance:1500
Jian Feng:3300

“ I think that is enough punishment, for now, I end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card. Silver looked pleased to see he drew just what he needed to possibly turn the tables. First I summon another Buster Whelp in attack mode. Buster Whelp flew onto the field ready for action.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ And like last time when he is Normal Summoned I can add a destruction Sword card from my deck to my hand so I will add Destruction Sword Unlimited Bladeworks to my hand. After adding his declared card to his hand Silver went for his set card. Next, I activate the Trap Synchro Material this allows me to use a monster on your side of the field to Synchro Summon so I will be taking my Clearwing back and tune it with my Buster Whelp. Buster Whelp turned into a single star and then a single green ring that encircled Clearwing and turned him into seven stars that fell into alignment.

7 + 1 = 8

" Mighty dragon that guards the treasure of the hero - Come to my aid and protect thy hero and his alleys! Synchro Summon! Rise up! Level eight! Buster Dragon!

Buster dragon appeared and took up a defensive stance.

Buster Dragon
LV:8
DEF:2800

“ Did you already forget dragluon negates all the effects of your Dragon-Type Monsters,” Jian Feng pointed out not impressed with what Silver did.

“ Of course I remember but that will no longer matter once I do this. I equip Dragluon with the Equip Spell Dragon Sealing Talismen this negates all of Dragluon’s effects including the whole Cannot be destroyed by battle except with other numbers part. A sealing tag appeared on Dragluon causing the diagram on Silver’s field to vanish. Now that my Dragon-Type Monsters can use their effects again I activate Buster Dragon’s effect once per turn when I don,t control Buster Blader on my field I can Special Summon one from my GY so welcome back Buster Blader. Buster Blader leaped onto the field ready to fight.

Buster Blader
LV:7
ATK:2600 + 2500 = 5100

“ Nice try but even with that power boost I will still have some life left and on my next turn you’re finished,” Jian Feng said with arrogance.

“ Too bad there is no next turn because I activate the Field Spell Destruction Sword Unlimited Bladeworks. The track was suddenly transformed into a wasteland with all the many swords in Buster Blader’s arsenal stuck into the ground. Once during either of our turns, This card allows me to Equip a Destruction Sword Monster to a Buster Blader Monster I control so I will use this effect to Equip Blade Master Destruction Sword to my Buster Blader. Buster Blader’s sword was replaced with a black Excaliber-like sword that began to glow as if it was giving more power to Buster Blader.

5100 + 4000 = 9100

“ How did your Blader gain more power?” Jian Feng asked.

“ Blade Master destruction Sword allows the equipped monster to gain 500 attack points for every Dragon-Type Monster in either GY,” Silver explained. Now its time to finish this Buster Blader attack Dragluon with All Mighty Sword Slash. Buster Blader charged at Dragluon and leaped into the air ready to strike until Jian Feng went for his set card in a final effort to save himself.

“ I activate the Trap Half Shield this will halve the damage to my Life Points so much for your final attack. Silver looked around desperately for Action cards and noticed one ahead and so did Jian Feng. Both Silver Jian Feng accelerated into top speed and in the end, Silver grabbed the action card and looked very pleased with it and activated it.

“ How very appropriate this is how the duel ends I activate the Action Spell Extreme Sword this raises my Buster blader’s attack points by 1000 which is exactly what I need to win this. Buster Blader’s sword grew longer and bigger as he came close to making contact with the shield.

9100 + 1000 = 10100

As soon as Buster Blader made contact with the shield Dragluon exploded and Jian Feng lost the rest of his Life Points.

Silver Chance:1500
Jian Feng:0
WINNER: Silver Chance

“ And that’s it, ladies and gentlemen, after three intense rounds of back and forth action the winners of this match are Team Silverwing,” The MC shouted as the crowd cheered. Before they returned to the stadium Silver absorbed Dragluon and as soon as they returned to the Stadium Jian Feng’s deck was consumed by black flames.

“ What the heck did you do to my Deck Silver?” Jian Feng said accusingly until master Ju-Long approached them.

“ Silver had nothing to do with that. The Dragon Rulers are tired and had enough of your destructive nature so they departed our realm and will never be coming back,” Ju-Long said.

“ So what happens next you going to kill us for all the evil sins we had committed?” Jian Feng asked.

“ No you and your teammates will be coming back to the temple and beginning your training from day one. Killing you three would upset the balance of the universe,” Ju-long said before he and Team Hēi'àn jù lóng left.

Ride Like An Egyptian

Silver and his team were on their way to Egypt to face their next opponent in the WRGP. As soon as the plane landed Silver and his team suddenly felt the desert heat kick in.

“ Of all the places to go, why Egypt?” Ratchet asked, not liking the heat.

“ We don't make the bracket, we only follow it. Besides don,t you want to learn the origin of duel monsters?” Silver asked.

“ We can do that in our nice air-conditioned hotel room. I have my laptop with me,” Ratchet said.

“ I prefer learning things out in the field instead of being cooped up inside,” Lightning said. As they were walking an official from the tournament came to greet them.

“ You four must be Team Silverwing,” The official said.

“ We are,” Lyra said.

“ Come, Team Medjed is waiting for you four at the press conference,” The official said before showing Team Silverwing to the back. As soon as they heard their cue, Silver, Lyra, and Lightning took their seats next to Team Medjed which consisted of a bald man with dark skin and Egyptian writing on the right side of his face wearing a purple robe. A woman with long black hair wearing an ivory dress and gold jewelry. And a man with spiky platinum blonde hair and dark skin wearing a black sleeveless top and jeans.

“ Now that both teams have arrived let us introduce them. First, from our very own Team Medjed is Odion, Ishizu, And Marik Ishtar,” The Official said before moving on. “ And from Team Silverwing is Silver Chance, Lyra Heartstrings, and Lightning Dust. The press took many pictures and asked many questions before Marik and Silver stood up and faced each other with Marik holding his hand out.

“ Let’s shake on having a fair and great match,” Marik said before Silver took his hand and they shook on it with the press taking more pictures. Silver suddenly felt something powerful coming from Marik. As soon as the press conference was over Silver and his team decided to go to their hotel room. Lyra suddenly noticed the expression on Silver’s face.

“ Is everything alright Silver?” Lyra asked.

“ It’s that Marik guy I felt something powerful coming from him,” Silver said.

“ Is it a Number card?” Lightning asked.

“ No, this felt different. like some kind of ancient power I can't describe,” Silver said.

“ Whatever it is we will find out tomorrow at the Cairo Arena,” Ratchet said

The next day both teams were setting up their pits before the MC for this duel took her place and grabbed the mic.

“ Welcome to the third match of the WRGP everyone. Let us introduce the teams. First representing our country of Egypt. The team consisting of the three Ishtar siblings Team Medjed,” The Mc said as the crowd went wild. “ And their opponents all the way from the United States of America. Team Silverwing. The crowd was not as enthusiastic about Team Silverwing since like all their matches the crowd will only cheer for the home team. Both Lyra and Odion mounted their runners and lined up at the starting line. “ Now activating the Action Field Speed World V. A bunch of ramps and half-pipes formed around the track inside the arena along with a whole bunch of tracks rising out of the sand outside the arena which meant this duel was going to become a race through the desert. Lyra and Odion took off quickly and Odion managed to turn the corner first thus earning him the first move. After both duelists drew their opening hands the match started.

DUEL
Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Odion Ishtar:4000

“ The first move is mine. Odion pulled a card from his hand. “ First I activate the Field Spell Triamid Cruiser. A pyramid-shaped airship suddenly hovered above the track. “ Now each time I Normal Summon a Rock-Type Monster I gain 500 Life Points and on the subject of Rock-Type Monsters, I summon Triamid Master in attack mode. A monster that looked like a pharaoh appeared and brandished his scepter at Lyra.

Triamid Master
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ Since my Master is a Rock-Type Monster I gain 500 Life Points. Odion was covered in a green aura.

Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Odion Ishtar:4500

“ Finally I set one card Face-down and end my turn,” Odion said as a set card appeared behind Triamid Master.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her sixth card. Lyra was about to make her move until Odion interrupted her.

“ I activate Triamid Master’s effect. During your turn, I can send my Filed Spell to the GY and replace it with another one from my Deck so bid farewell to my cruiser and hello to my Triamid Fortress. The cruiser that was hovering over the track exploded and up ahead a pyramid with technology mixed into it appeared. “ Now my Cruiser’s other effect activates. When it is sent to the GY I can add a Triamid Monster to my hand so I will add Triamid Sphinx to my hand. Odion added his card to his hand before Lyra continued her turn.

“ I Activate my own Field Spell World Tree Yggdrasil. A giant tree suddenly sprouted ahead of the track. “ This spell allows me to Special Summon a Level Four or lower Fairy-Type monster once per turn in Defense Mode so I will use this effect to Special Summon my Serenade The Melodious Diva. A purple fairy with a single wing wearing a yellow dress appeared and took a defensive stance while singing.

Serenade The Melodious Diva
LV:4
DEF:1900

“ When my Serenade is Special Summoned I can Normal Summon a Melodious Monster in addition to my primary Normal Summon so first I will use that effect to Summon my deck’s headliner and since my Serenade counts as two tributes when Summoning a High-Level Fairy-Type Monster I will tribute her to summon Mozarta The Melodious Maestra. Serenade vanished into a portal and out of it came Mozarta ready to fight.

Mozarta The Melodious Maestra
LV:8
ATK:2600

As soon as Lyra summoned her monster the first action card of the match was coming up and Lyra snatched it before Odion reacted.

“ In response to your summoning I activate the Trap Quicksand Trap Hole,” Odion said as a trap with an image of a monster buried neck-deep in quicksand with its arm reaching up flipped face up. “ When you summon a monster with 2000 or more Attack points that monster is then forced into Face-Down Defense Position. Before Odion’s trap went into effect Lyra activated her Action Card.

“ I activate the Action Spell Magical Firewall when you activate a spell or trap that card’s activation is negated and you take 500 points of damage. Odion’s trap was set on fire before exploding and returning Odion to the starting 4000 Life Points.

Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Odion Ishtar:4000

“ Next I summon Fairy Archer in attack mode. A fairy wearing a blue outfit with a leaf skirt and yellow wings landed gracefully onto Lyra’s field before summoning her bow.

Fairy Archer
LV:3
ATK:1400

“ Now I activate Mozarta’s effect once per turn. She lets me Special Summon a Fairy-Type Monster from my hand so I will use that effect to Special Summon Guardian Angel Joan in attack mode. Joan took her position next to Mozarta as she landed on the field.

Guardian Angel Joan
LV:7
ATK:2800

“ But I’m not done summoning yet Next I activate the Spell Titania’s Guidance this allows me to draw one card for every Fairy-Type Monster I control and if any of the cards I draw are Fairy-type monsters I reveal one and Special Summon it so with three monsters already I draw three cards. Lyra drew her three cards and smiled after seeing what she drew. “ Looks like my luck keeps on going because I can Special Summon Fairy Sniper from my hand. A fairy boy dressed in a black outfit with black hair and wings landed next to Fairy Archer and positioned his rifle.

Fairy Sniper
LV:4
ATK:1700

“ Now it's time for my strategy to go into action. First I activate Fairy Archer’s effect which deals 400 points of damage to you for each LIGHT Attribute monster I control so with four LIGHT monsters that 1600 points of damage. Fairy Archer aimed and managed to nail Odion right in the chest.

Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Odion Ishtar:2400

“ Next I activate my Sniper’s effect. He inflicts 500 points of damage for each card that is in my hand so with two cards that's 1000 points of damage. Fairy Sniper aimed and fired two shots at Odion.

Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Odion Ishtar:1400

“ Are you going to keep hiding or are you going to fight?” Odion said not impressed with Lyra’s strategy.

“ Oh I'm going to fight alright but first I activate the Continuous Spell Valkyrie Berrier while this card is in play all My Fairy-Type Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle or Card Effects. A barrier made of fairy magic formed around Lyra’s field. “ Now I enter my Battle Phase and I will have Joan attack your Triamid Master. As Joan attacked she began to glow. “ Did I forget to mention my Field Spell’s other effect? When one of my Fairy-Type Monsters attacks one of your monsters my monster gains 1000 attack points during damage calculation.

2800 + 1000 = 3800

As soon as Joan destroyed Triamid Master and the rest of Odion’s Life Points Odion did not look defeated.

Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Odion Ishtar:0
WINNER:Lyra Heartstrings

3800 - 1000 = 2800

“ You may have defeated me but you just unleashed your doom because when one of my Triamid cards is destroyed either by battle or card effect I can Special Summon my Triamid Sphinx from my hand. A mechanical Sphinx suddenly rose out of the desert sands and took up a defensive position.

Triamid Sphinx
LV:10
DEF:2500 + 500 + 500 = 3500

“ While I control another Triamid card my Sphinx gains 500 attack and defense for each Field Spell with a different name in my GY so with one he gains 500 points plus my fortress gives him another 500 defense points.

“ Well, I get something too. When my Joan destroys a monster in battle and sends it to the GY I gain Life Points equal to your destroyed monsters attack points so thanks for the 1800 Life Points. Lyra was covered in a green aura as she and Odion returned to the stadium.

Lyra Heartstrings:5800
Odion Ishtar:0

Odion returned to his team's pit and passed the baton along with his Sphinx and Field Spell to Ishizu who was ready to go.

“ I’m sorry Master Marik I could not beat that girl,” Odion said as Ishizu took off.

“ It’s ok Odion you did your best and managed to leave Ishizu with a good defensive wall,” Marik said.

Meanwhile, at the Silver Mansion Bullet, Ruby along with Lyra and Lightning’s family were watching the match on the big screen.

“ That's my girl kicking butt and taking names,” Lyra’s dad said.

“ I hope she remembered to pack plenty of sunscreen,” Lyra’s mom said with concern.

“ Relax at the speed there, moving at the heat is no problem,” Bullet said.

“ Besides, Lyra does not look the least bit uncomfortable,” Ruby said.

“ But still this match has just started and I have a feeling that Medjed’s next duelists won't be so easy,” Wind Rider said. Everyone continued watching the match.

Assault Of The Gravekeepers

“ And now taking the second leg for Team Medjed is Ishizu Ishtar,” The Mc said as Ishizu caught up to Lyra.

“ I’m afraid this is the end of the line for you,” Ishizu said.

“ We shall see about that,” Lyra said as Ishizu drew her opening hand.

DUEL
Lyra Heartstrings:5800
Ishizu Ishtar:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Ishizu said as she drew her sixth card. Ishizu looked at her hand and saw her strategy manifest. “ First I activate the Spell Judgement Of Atem by Tributing a Level Ten or above monster on my field all Spells and Traps on the field are destroyed so I tribute Triamid Sphinx so I can destroy your Tree and Berrier. A huge shadow of a mighty pharaoh appeared as Sphinx was tributed and then stretched across the field wiping out all of the Spells and Traps currently in play. “ Next I activate the Spell Raigeki and I’m sure you know what this does.

“ It destroys all of my monsters,” Lyra said dejectedly.

“ Correct and now it’s time to wipe them out. A bolt of Lightning wiped out all of Lyra’s Monsters. “ Next I activate my own Field Spell Necrovalley. The entire desert transformed into a huge valley with a setting sun off the horizon. “ As long as this card is in play all effects aimed at the GY cannot be activated nor can any cards in the GY leave the GY.

“ So you’re saying I can,t touch my GY?” Lyra asked.

“ Correct we tomb keepers believe the dead should not be disturbed and this Field Spell symbolizes our beliefs better than any other card in the game,” Ishizu said before continuing her move. “ Next I summon Gravekeeper’s Spear Soldier in attack mode. A man in a black robe wielding a spear appeared before pointing his spear forward.

Gravekeeper’s Spear Soldier
LV:4
ATK:1500 + 500 = 2000

“ I forgot to mention my Necrovalley gives all my Gravekeeper monsters an extra 500 attack and Defense points,” Ishizu said. “ Now I will enter my Battle Phase and have my Spear Soldier attack you Directly. Spear Soldier charged at Lyra. Just when things were looking hopeless Lyra spotted a clutch Action Card up ahead and grabbed it. After seeing what it was she wasted no time in activating it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Evasion which allows me to stop your attack. Lyra accelerated and managed to avoid being stabbed by Spear Soldier.

“ You may have avoided that attack but next turn you won’t be so fortunate. I set two cards Face-down and end my turn,” Ishizu said as two set cards appeared behind Spear Soldier.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her second card. With her GY now off-limits Lyra racked her brain trying to find a way around it. After seeing what she drew Lyra had a plan. “ First I summon Guardian Of Alfhiem in attack mode. A woman wearing golden armor with red hair wielding a golden sword appeared.

Guardian Of Alfhiem
LV:3
ATK:?

“ My Guardian’s attack points are 600 times the number of fairy-Type Monsters that are in my GY so with five Fairy-Type Monsters in my GY that’s a total of 3000 attack points and since this effect does not target the GY you cannot stop it. Guardian Of Alfhiem powered up.

0 + 3000 = 3000

“ I activate the Continuous Trap Necrovalley Temple,” Ishizu said as an Egyptian temple rose out of the ground. While I control both Necrovalley and a Gravekeeper monster your monsters lose 500 attack and defense points. Lyra’s monster began to lose power.

3000 - 500 = 2500

“ That’s won,t matter because I activate the Spell Card Of Sanctity which allows both of us to draw until we each have six cards in our hands. Lyra and Ishizu both drew six cards. Lyra was pleased with what she drew. “ Next I activate the Quick-Play Spell Twin Twisters by discarding a card from my hand I can destroy up to two spells or traps on the field so I discard my Fairy Of Riryoku to destroy both your Necrovalley and Temple. As soon as Lyra discarded her card a pair of twisters flew towards the targeted cards. Ishizu did not look fazed and went for her other set card.

“ I sensed you would try this which is why I activate the Counter Trap Imperial Tombs Of Necrovalley. While I control both Necrovalley and a Gravekeeper Monster and you activate a spell, trap, or monster effect. That effect is negated and the card is destroyed. A sarcophagus appeared before opening and wrapping Twin Twisters in bandages before reeling them in and vanishing.

“ You fell for my bluff I wasn’t really planning on destroying your Necrovalley cards I just needed to send my Fairy to the GY so her effect can activate,” Lyra said.

“ That won,t work. Did you forget that Necrovalley negates any effect aimed at the GY,” Ishizu said.

“ But it can,t stop effects coming out of the GY like my Fairy Of Riryoku for example when she is sent to the GY I can target two monsters on the field the first one loses half of their attack points while the second gains that same amount until the End Phase. Dark energy covered Spear Soldier and cut his attack points in half while Guardian Of Alfhiem absorbed them.

2000 - 1000 = 1000

2500 + 1000 + 600 = 4100

“ Now it’s time to battle Guardian of Alfhiem attack Spear Soldier. Lyra’s Guardian charged at Spear Soldier ready to slash him until Ishizu noticed an action card and grabbed it before quickly activating it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Miracle not only does this card save my Spear Soldier it also cuts the damage I take in half. Spear Soldier used his Spear to block Guardian Of Alfhiem’s attack and send him back to Lyra’s field but not without Ishizu taking some damage.

Lyra Heartstrings:5800
Ishizu Ishtar:2450

“ I end my turn by setting two cards Face-down,” Lyra said as two set cards appeared behind her monster.

1000 + 1000 = 2000

4100 - 1000 = 3100

“ My turn I draw,” Ishizu said as she drew her seventh card. Ishizu had a good amount of options now thanks to Lyra. “ First I activate the Spell Polymerization and I will use it to Fuse my Gravekeeper’s Oracle and my Gravekeeper’s Visionary. Two monsters that resembled pharaohs appeared before spinning in the vortex.

“ Mighty seer of the dead combine with the visionary of the pharaoh’s court and become one! Fusion Summon! Rise! Level seven! Gravekeeper’s Supernaturalist!

A man with white hair dressed in Egyptian garb appeared and brandished his staff at Lyra.

Gravekeeper’s Supernaturalist
LV:7
ATK:2000 + 500 = 2500

“ My Supernaturalist gains 100 attack points equal to the combined levels of the two monsters used to summon it so pay attention Oracle’s level is ten and visionary’s level is eight so that’s a total of eighteen hundred attack points. Supernaturalist powered up.

2500 + 1800 = 4300

“ But I’m not done yet next I tribute my Spear Soldier to Tribute Summon Gravekeeper’s Cheif in attack mode. A man wearing Egyptian garb with a snake staff appeared before slamming the ground with the bottom of his staff.

Gravekeeper’s Chief
LV:5
ATK:1900 + 500 = 2400

“ As long my Chief is on the field my side is unaffected by Necrovalley so I’m free to use my GY and to demonstrate when my Chief is Tribute Summoned he allows me to Special Summon a Gravekeeper monster from my GY so welcome back my Visionary. A pharaoh with the mask of a jackal rose out of the sand.

Gravekeeper’s Visionary
LV:8
ATK:2000 + 500 = 2500

“ My visionary gains 200 attack points for each Gravekeeper monster in my GY so with two that another 400 attack points. Visionary powered up some more.

2500 + 400 = 2900

“ Now that I control three Gravekeeper Monsters I can Activate the Spell Wdjat Seal,” Ishizu said as a spell with an image of the Eye of Wdjat appearing on a prisoner’s head appeared. “ I can only activate this card while I control Necrovalley and three or more Gravekeep Monsters and it prevents you from activated any spells or traps during this turn. The eye of Wdjat appeared on Lyra’s set cards rendering them unusable. “ Now that I have a clear shot Time to battle Supernaturalists attack Guardian Of Alfhiem with Desert Blazer. Supernaturalist channeled the sun’s energy through the gem on his staff and unleashed a sunbeam powerful enough to destroy Lyra’s monster and her Life Points.

Lyra Heartstrings:4600
Ishizu Ishtar:2450

“ Next my Chief will attack you Directly. Lyra was shocked to hear that Ishizu was not going to use her Visionary to attack next. “ I know what you are planning Lyra. You’re aware that my seal only works on spells and traps but not monsters so you're holding on to a monster that will stop me once I push you below 2000 life points.

“ How did you know what I was planning?” Lyra asked shocked.

“ My Wdjat Seal has another effect I forgot to mention it allows me to see the cards in your hand during this turn. Chief fired a ball of energy at Lyra and nailed her.

Lyra Heartstrings:2200
Ishizu Ishtar:2450

“ And now my Visionary end this,” Visionary struck Lyra with his staff thus draining the rest of Lyra’s Life points and causing her runner to emit smoke.

Lyra Heartstrings:0
Ishizu Ishtar:2450
WINNER: Ishizu Ishtar

Lyra and Ishizu drove back to the stadium where Lyra pulled into her Team’s pit and handed the baton and her set cards to Lightning who was waiting.

“ I’m afraid this might be as far as we can go,” Lyra said.

“ Don,t say that Lyra I will find a way to win this for us,” Lightning said before taking off. Lyra took a seat next to Silver while looking depressed.

“ If I was able to Summon my Fairy Guardna I would have been able to turn things around,” Lyra said while crying.

“ Don,t beat yourself up Lyra you could not have anticipated Ishizu seeing your hand and stopping your set cards,” Silver said trying to cheer Lyra up. Meanwhile, with Lightning, she caught up to Ishizu and drew her opening hand.

DUEL
Lightning Dust: 4000
Ishizu Ishtar: 2450

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her sixth card. Lightning was already in a bind with three powerful monsters staring her down and her GY being restricted by Necrovalley. Regardless Lightning made her move. “ First I activate the Spell RaidRaptor Ambush this allows me to Special Summon up to three RaidRaptor monsters with the same level from my hand but they will be destroyed during the End Phase so with this card I Special Summon three copies of Raidraptor- Vanishing Lanius. Three Vanishing Lanius flew onto the field and hovered in place.

RainRaptor- Vanishing Lanius x3
LV:4
ATK:1300 - 500 = 800

“ Now I activate the effect of two of my Vanishing Lanius when they are Normal or Special Summoned. I can Special Summon a Level Four or Lower Raidraptor Monster from my hand so since I’m using this effect twice I can Special Summon the two RaidRaptor - Supply Lanius in my hand. A couple of mechanical birds with gas tanks on their backs appeared and landed on both sides of the left and right most Vanishing Lanius.

RaidRaptor- Supply Lanius x2
LV:4
ATK:1600 - 500 = 1100

“ Do you honestly think you can beat me with those monsters? None of them hold a candle to my monsters,” Ishizu said until she knew what Lightning was planning.

“ That’s right I’m about to Summon my greatest weapon. I overlay my three-level four Vanishing Lanius and my two Level Four Supply Lanius to build the Overlay Network. All five of Lightning’s monsters turned into purple streams of energy before entering a galaxy-like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty bird of the beginning spread of majestic wings and take flight! Xyz Summon! Take Off! Rank Four! Raidraptor - Origin Falcon!

A giant black Falcon with piercing red eyes flew onto the field with five Overlay units orbiting around it.

Raidraptor - Origin Falcon
RANK:4
ATK: 1000 x 5 = 5000 - 500 = 4500
UNITS: 5

“ How did your Falcon’s attack points rise so high?” Ishizu asked.

“ Simple my Origin Falcon’s attack points are multiplied by the number of Xyz Material I used and are attached to it so since I used five monsters you do the math,” Lightning said before continuing her move. “ Also when Supply Lanius is used as Xyz Material for a Winged-Beast-type Xyz Monster I can draw two cards but since I used two of them I can draw four cards. Lightning drew her four cards and smiled after seeing what she drew. “ Now it’s time I filled you in on what my monster can do. Origin Falcon has three effects that can be activated depending on how many Overlay Units I use and I will activate its third effect. By detaching five overlay units all cards on the field except for my falcon are bounced back to our hands. Origin Falcon swallowed all five of its overlay units.

5 - 5 = 0
Suddenly Origin Falcon whipped up a huge tornado that sucked up every card on the field and sent them all back to their owner’s hand as it became weaker.

4500 - 4000 = 500 + 500 = 1000

“ Next I activate the Spell Rank Up Magic Acceleration Force this allows me to rank up an Xyz Monster I control into an Xyz Monster whose Rank is twice that of the monster I am using so I rebuild the Overlay Network with my Origin Falcon. Origin Falcon turned into a stream of purple energy and entered a galaxy-like portal and exploded.

“Mighty bird of legend, forged from the flames of battle! Evolve into an even mightier bird and transcend the atmosphere! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Take Off! Rank Eight! RaidRaptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon!

Satellite Cannon Falcon appeared and hovered over the track.

Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon
RANK:8
ATK:3000
UNITS:1

“ Next I set two cards Face-down and activate the Spell Card Destruction now we both must discard our entire hand and draw the same number of cards we discarded. Both Lightning and Ishizu discarded their entire hand. Lightning drew two cards while Ishizu drew six. “ Time to end this Satellite Cannon Falcon attack Ishizu directly. Satellite Cannon Falcon flew into the atmosphere and then blasted Ishizu thus draining her Life points and causing her runner to emit smoke.

Lightning Dust: 4000
Ishizu Ishtar: 0
WINNER: Lightning Dust

Ishizu drove back to her team’s pit where Marik was waiting for her. After pulling over next to Marik Ishizu passed the baton to him.

“ Good luck out there brother,” Ishizu said before Marik took off.

Ra's Return

“ And now taking the final leg for Team Medjed is Marik Ishtar,” The Mc shouted as Marik caught up to Lightning and drew his opening hand.

DUEL
Lightning Dust:4000
Marik Ishtar:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Marik said as he drew his sixth card. Marik looked pleased that he drew his signature monster on the first turn. “ First I summon Ra’s Disciple in attack mode. An Egyptian warrior wearing gold armor appeared on the field.

Ra’s Disciple
LV:4
ATK:1100

“ When I summon my disciple he allows me to Special Summon up to two more copies of himself from my Hand or Deck so I Special Summon two more from my Deck. Two more Ra’s Disciples appeared next to the first one.

Ra’s Disciple x2
LV:4
ATK:1100

“ Next up I activate the Spell Double Summon this allows me to Normal Summon one additional Time this turn,” Marik said.

“ What exactly are you planning to do?” Lightning asked.

“ You’re about to find out. I tribute all three of my Disciples to summon forth my greatest weapon. All three of Marik’s monsters disappeared as a huge portal opened up above the field.

“ All mighty guardian of the sun and the sky I beg of thee please head my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. I beseech thee grace our humble game but first I shall call out thy name! Winged Dragon Of Ra Incarnate! A giant sphere of gold came out of the portal before unfolding into a giant dragon made of gold with bits of platinum on the tips of its wings and a circular device on its chest.

Winged Dragon Of Ra Incarnate
LV:10
ATK:?

“ Impossible I thought the Egyptian Gods were taking into the spirit world along with the Pharaoh Atem,” Lightning said in shock at what she just saw.

“ They were but this is not the original Winged Dragon Of Ra it’s the reincarnated version. You see when the original God cards were removed from the mortal world Pegasus wanted to find a way duelists can still use them without all the dangerous stuff so he created what he calls the reincarnated god cards and just like the originals they are each one of a kind. But enough backstory on to what my dragon can do. First, his name is treated as The Winged Dragon Of Ra while in my hand, on the field, and in my GY. He also has a couple of the same effects as the original so his attack points are equal to the combined sum of the three monsters tributed to summon it so since each of my disciples had 1100 attack points. that’s a total of 3300. The Winged Dragon Of Ra powered up as Marik explained that.

0 + 3300 = 3300

“ Next I use his first effect by paying 1000 life points I can destroy one monster you control so say goodby to your Falcon. Ra unleashed its power and destroyed Sattilite Cannon falcon.

Lightning Dust:4000
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ Now it’s time to battle. Winged Dragon Of Ra Incarnate attack Lightning Directly with Lustrious Blaze Cannon. Ra unleashed a white fireball at Lightning who went for one of the set cards Lyra left behind for her.

“ I activate the Trap Draining Shield this stops your attack and allows me to gain life points equal to your Ra’s attack points. Lightning was sure she was safe until Marik smiled.

“ Nice try but traps don,t work on the god cards,” Marik pointed out as the Draining Shield shattered and the fireball nailed Lightning for some heavy damage.

Lightning Dust:700
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ With that, I shall end my turn,” Marik said.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her card. Lightning was on the verge of defeat and pinned all her hopes on the card she drew. “ I activate the Spell Raven’s Curse I target one Monster you control and lower its attack points by 500 for each Winged-Beast-type monster in my GY so with six monsters that’s a total of 3000 points. Ra was suddenly covered in a black aura. Just when Lightning thought she succeeded Ra overpowered her card’s effect.

“ Spells won,t work either,” Marik said.

“ Fine I end my turn,” Lightning said dejectedly.

“ My turn I draw,” Marik said as he drew his fourth card. Marik knew he had this match won but decided to prepare for Silver’s arrival. “ I set two cards face-down and Summon Bowgainian in attack mode. A green metal eyeball with arms and a crossbow appeared in front of Ra.

Bowgainian
LV:3
ATK:1300

“ Next I activate the Continuous Spell Dark Room Of Nightmare now every time you take effect damage this card inflict an extra 300 points of damage. Marik looked ready to end it. “ Now I enter my Battle Phase and have my Bowganian attack you directly. Bowgainian fired its crossbow at Lightning and managed to nail her for enough damage to reduce her Life Points to zero and her runner to emit smoke.

Lightning Dust:0
Marik Ishtar:3000
WINNER: Marik Ishtar

Lightning drove back to her team’s pit and pulled over next to Silver before passing the baton along with Lyra’s set card to him.

“ Be careful out there Silver that dragon is untouchable,” Lightning warned.

“ I am aware of that but that does not mean I will lose,” Silver said before taking off. As soon as Silver caught up to Marik and drew his opening hand the match continued.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver knew Marik was up to something with the way his field was set up. Silver decided to make his move. “ First I summon my Buster Whelp in attack mode. Buster whelp flew onto the field ready to go.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ When my Whelp is Normal Summoned I can add a Destruction Sword card from my Deck to my Hand so with this effect I add Destruction Sword Memories to my hand. Silver added his declared card before Marik made his move.

“ Before you do anything else I activate the Continuous Trap Coffin Seller now anytime monsters are sent to your GY you take 300 points of damage. Silver did not look the least bit intimidated by this new Trap affecting him.

“ No matter I will keep going. I will use my Whelp’s other effect By tributing it I can Special Summon my Buster Blader from my hand. Whelp entered a portal and out of the portal came Buster Blader ready to go.

Buster Blader
LV:7
ATK:2600

“ Coffin Seller’s effect now activates inflicting 300 points of damage to you. Silver suddenly felt the effect damage hit him.

Silver Chance:3700
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ Next my Dark Room activates inflicting another 300 points of damage. Silver took more damage from Marik’s spell.

Silver Chance:3400
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ I may have taken some damage but it’s worth it. Next, I equip my Buster Blader with the Clearwing Buster that is in my hand. Buster Blader’s sword was replaced with a sword with a white guard and a blade made from conductive metal that was glowing with green energy. “ When Clearwing Buster is equipped my Buster Blader gains 500 attack points for every Level Five or higher monster on the field and since your Ra is Level ten he counts along with Buster Blader himself. Buster Blader powered up which shocked Marik.

2600 + 1000 = 3600

“ How did you know about my god’s blind spot?” Marik asked.

“ Simple I did my homework. It’s true that Spells, Traps, and Monster Effects don,t work on an Egyptian God but only if those effects target them. Passive effects or widespread effects can work on them,” Silver explained. But enough about that Time to battle Buster Blader attack his Bowgainian. Buster Blader leaped into the air and just when he was about to make contact Marik went for his set card.

“ I activate the Continuous Trap Nightmare Wheel I can target one Monster you control and not only can that monster not attack it also cannot change Battle positions. A giant Wheel suddenly fell from the sky and chained Buster Blader to it.

“ I end my turn with one card Face-Down,” Silver said as a set card appeared next to his other set card.

“ My turn I draw,” Marik said as he drew his card. Marik suddenly had a wicked grin on his face. “ During my Stand-By Phase, both the effects of my Bowgainian and Nightmare Wheel activate First Nightmare Wheel deals you 500 points of damage. The wheel suddenly spun and Silver took damage.

Silver Chance:2900
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ Next my Bowgainian inflicts 600 points of damage to you. Bowgainian fired an arrow at Silver which nailed him in the back.

Silver Chance:2300
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ This that all or is there more?” Silver asked sarcastically knowing there was more.

“ There is more the effect of Dark Room Of Nightmare activates twice so brace yourself for another 600 points of damage. Silver suddenly took more damage.

Silver Chance:1700
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ Next I activate the Spell Card of Sanctity which allows both of us to draw until we each have six cards in our hands. Marik drew six cards while Silver drew three. “ Next I activate the Spell Card Destruction now we must send our entire hand to the GY and draw the same number of cards. Both Silver and Marik discarded their entire hand. Silver drew six cards while Marik drew five. “ Since you sent more monsters to your GY Coffin Seller activates inflicting 300 points of damage to you and another 300 thanks to my Dark Room. Silver took more damage from Marik’s burn combo.

Silver Chance:1100
Marik Ishtar:3000

Marik suddenly noticed a Clutch Action card and grabbed it. Marik looked pleased with this one. “ I Activate the Action Spell Desert Wrath this destroys one monster you control and inflicts 300 points of damage to you. Buster Blader along with the wheel he was chained up to were sucked into quicksand and exploded. Marik was expecting Silver to take another 900 points of damage from his burn combo until the smoke cleared and revealed Silver was ok.

Silver Chance:3800
Marik Ishtar:3000

“ Impossible how did your Life Points suddenly increase?” Marik asked.

“ It was thanks to my Teammate’s set card. When you destroyed my Buster Blader I activated it. It’s a Trap card called Wish Of Final Effort. When a monster I control is destroyed and sent to my GY this card converts its attack points into my Life Points so I had 4700 Life Points before your combo could damage me,” Silver explained.

“ Regardless I still win because both of my monsters have enough attack points to end this. So I will enter my Battle Phase and have Ra attack you directly. Ra fired another fireball but this time Silver was ready for it.

“ I activate the Trap Destruction Sword Revival this allows me to Special Summon Buster Blader from my GY in Defense Mode with an extra 1000 defense points. Buster Blader came back before kneeling with his sword in front of him.

Buster Blader
LV:7
DEF:2300 + 1000 = 3300

Buster Blader redirected the attack into the sky where it exploded.

“ Not bad but that won,t save you because on my next turn you’re finished because I activate the Continuous Spell Rage Of Ra this card can only be activated while I control The Winged Dragon Of Ra which I do and it gains one rage counter for every card on the field during my Stand-By Phase and when I send this card to my GY you take 500 points of damage for each counter this card had. A pentagram appeared above the field. “ I end my turn by setting two cards face down.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his seventh card. Silver knew he had to make this turn count since on the next turn Marik’s Rage Of Ra would accumulate at least eight counters which would be enough to beat him. After seeing what he drew Silver saw his victory appear before him. “ Looks like I still have a chance. I banish my LIGHT Attribute Buster Whelp and my DARK Attribute Dragon Buster.

“ Is Silver summoning what I think he is?” Lightning asked.

“ He sure is this could be the break he needed,” Lyra said.

“ With these two banished cards I Special Summon Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy Of The End. Chaos Emperor Dragon appeared and unleashed a mighty roar.

Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy Of The End
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ Impossible where did you get that card from?” Marik asked in a frightened tone.

“ I got it off the ashes of a vile witch but that is not important I activate my Dragon’s effect by paying 1000 Life Points all the cards on our fields and in our hands are sent to the GY and you take 300 points of damage for each card so with seventeen cards about to go to the GY that’s 5100 points of damage.

Silver Chance:2800
Marik Ishtar:3000

Chaos Emperor Dragon Nuked the field with a massive fire burst and Marik took all the damage which not only reduced his Life Points to zero but also caused his runner to emit smoke.

Silver Chance:2800
Marik Ishtar:0
WINNER: Silver Chance

“ And that’s it Ladies and Gentlemen the winners of this round are Team Silverwing,” The Mc announced. As soon as Silver returned to the stadium both teams shook on a well-played match.

“ I must say that Chaos Emperor Dragon was quite the surprise twist. Where exactly did you find it?” Marik asked.

“ As I said earlier I took it off a witch that ended up being reduced to ash when she and her two sisters attacked us,” Silver said.

“ However you obtained it please be careful with it because such power can also be quite dangerous to the one wielding it,” Ishizu warned.

“ You don,t have to remind me,” Silver said.

“ So where are you four off to now?” Marik asked.

“ To France to watch the next match that will decide who we are going against in the next round,” Lightning said.

“ Well good luck with the rest of the Tournament and may we see each other again,” Marik said before Silver and his team left.

Heroes On The Rise

Silver and his team arrived safely in Paris and checked in at the Le Grand Paris Hotel. As they were about to go out and explore the city a girl with blonde hair tied in a ponytail with blue eyes wearing a white top with black stripes and a yellow jacket approached them or more specifically Silver.

“ Shall we go somewhere more private Silver?” The girl asked which made Lyra mad.

“ Back off blondie, he is mine,” Lyra said as she pulled Silver away from her.

“ Blondie! Do you know who I am?” The girl asked.

“ Don’t know and don’t care,” Lyra said.

“ I’m Chloe Bourgeois and a peasant like you with the son of America’s second-richest person in the world. Ridiculous utterly ridiculous,” Chloe said with a hint of rage.

“ I’ll have you know he is my boyfriend and I suggest you get lost before my friend here decides to break loose on you,” Lyra said threateningly as Lightning looked ready to break Chloe’s bones.

“ My daddy is the mayor of this city. So unless you don,t want me to call him I suggest you hand Silver to me,” Chloe said while holding her finger over the speed dial button for her dad.

“ Go ahead call him we will just tell him you were harassing us. Now, are we done here because we have a duel to watch in half an hour,” Lightning said calling Chloe’s bluff. Chloe put her phone away and then stormed off. Silver and his friends left for the Paris stadium to watch the match that will determine their next opponents. As Silver was checking the directions a girl with blue hair tied in pigtails bumped into them looking like she was in quite a rush.

“ Are you ok miss?” Silver asked as he helped her up.

“ Sorry about that I’m about to be late for the duel,” The girl said.

“ Are you in it or just watching?” Lyra asked.

“ I’m the leader of the French Team. I’m Marinette by the way,” Marinette said.

“ Nice to meet you Marinette. I’m Silver and these are my Teammates Lyra, Lightning, and Ratchet,” Silver said while introducing his team.

“ Are you guys in the WRGP too?” Marinette asked.

“ Sure are we are the US Team, Team Silverwing,” Silver said.

“The US as in from New York?” Marinette asked.

“ We are from California actually but yes we are from the US,” Lyra said.

“ Well it’s been nice chatting with you but I must be going,” Marinette said before Silver stopped her.

“ Wait why don’t I give you a lift since we are going to the same place,” Silver said before getting his runner.

“ Thank you,” Marinette said before putting her helmet on. After getting behind Silver he gunned it and took off for Paris stadium.

Meanwhile, at Paris Stadium a boy with blonde hair and an Asian girl with black hair was waiting outside for someone.

“ How dare Marinette keep us waiting. Our match starts in ten minutes,” The Asian girl said.

“ Calm down Kagami you know how much of a scatterbrain Marinette can be,” The blonde boy said.

“ I know Adrian but this is very important. We might not ever get a chance like this again especially if some akumatized villains show up and ruin the tournament,” Kagami said.

“ Hang on is that a duel runner coming this way?” Andrian asked before the runner pulled a sideways stop in front of him and Kagami. The person behind the driver got off and removed her helmet which revealed the person Kagami and Adrian were waiting for.

“ We have been waiting for you Marinette,” Kagami said.

“ Am I late?” Marinette asked.

“ No, for once you’re right on time,” Adrian said.

“ That’s a relief. Guys meet Silver Chance. He is the leader of Team Silverwing,” Marinette said.

“ So you’re the one we will be facing in the next round,” Kagami said.

“ That depends on who wins the duel which despite a slight delay we will be watching,” Silver said.

“ What was the slight delay?” Marinette asked.

“ Some brat named Chloe tried to make a move on me and tried to use an empty threat on us,” Silver said.

“ Chloe Bourgeois?” Kagami asked.

“ Yep, you know her?” Silver asked.

“ Unfortunately we do and I can guess she threatened to get her father involved,” Kagami said.

“ She did. It’s like she fails to understand how the position of Mayor works. A Mayor’s job is to supervise and manage the resources of their city. They most certainly don’t have the time to indulge the whims of a spoiled brat,” Silver said.

“ Please stop speaking ill of Chloe. You don’t understand her at all,” Adrian said.

“ Want a bet. I’m the son of the second richest man in the world. People feared me because they assumed I was just like Chloe when I am nothing like her. I respect my father and his job title not to get him mixed up in my problems. I wasn’t given everything I have on a silver platter I worked for everything,” Silver said which shocked everyone.

“ Wow that was so deep,” Adrian said.

“ But enough about me you three have a match to compete in,” Silver said before his teammates arrived.

Let’s hope we meet in the next round,” Marinette said before she and her team left to set up their pit. Silver and his team took their seats in the stands ready to view the match.

“ What do you think the EU Team is like?” Lightning asked.

“ Hard to say since so far the only members we met are a pile of muscles and some British scientist lady,” Lyra said.

“ Well assuming Marinette and her team manage to beat the first two we may get to see their leader,” Silver said. As they were talking the Mc walked up on stage ready to get the match started.

“ Welcome to the third match of the WRGP Ladies and Gentlemen. As you know various duels are happening in many different countries and this is the last one for the third round. Whoever wins this match will be moving on to the semi-finals with the other seven teams that won their matches. So without further ado let’s introduce the teams for today’s match. First up from our beloved city of Paris and representing our very country is Team Miraculous which consists of Marinette Dopang-Cheng, Adrian Agreste, and Kagami Tsurugi,” The Mc said as Marinette and her friends entered the stadium. “ And representing the countries of Italy, Spain, and Croatia is the second set of EU Duelists. Team Dragonflame whose members are the representative of Italy Antonio Aldini, The representative of Spain Maria Garcia, and the Representative of Croatia Luka Wildwind.

“ What gives? I thought we would be seeing Team Demise in this duel?” Lightning said.

“ Must be more than one EU Team in this tournament,” Lyra said as Silver looked up the official bracket for the whole tournament instead of the one just for the A Block.

“ Your right it saids here Team Demise is in the B Block which is going on in another country right now,” Silver said.

“ And both teams have sent their first duelists to the starting line. First, up for Team Miraculous is Kagami and for team Dragonflame is Antonio,” The Mc shouted before both duelists took off. After what felt like a neck and neck race Kagami made the corner first thus granting her the first turn. After both duelists drew their opening hand the duel began.

DUEL
Kagami Tsurugi:4000
Antonio Aldini:4000

“ The first move is mine and to start things off I activate the Spell Polymerization fusing the Elemental Hero Wildheart and ElementalHeroBurstinatrix in my hand. Both of Kagami’s monsters appeared in front of a fusion vortex and spun around.

“ Mighty heroine of fire and justice combine with the swordsman of the jungle and become a blade forged from lava! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level Seven! Elemental Hero Magma Blade! A woman with dark skin and cracks of lava in certain places and long jet black hair wearing a red and black kimono appeared before drawing her sword which was made of black metal.

Elemental Hero Magma Blade
LV:7
ATK:2800

“ But I’m not done yet. Next, I summon Elemental Hero Mistral from my hand. A woman with green eyes and white skin and long green hair wearing a green skintight suit covered in light green feathers with wings of the same color appeared next to Magma Blade.

Elemental Hero Mistral
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ When I summon Mistral while I control another Elemental Hero Monster I can draw two cards. Kagami drew her two cards and smiled at what she drew. “ I set one card Face-down and end my turn by activating the Continuous Spell Elemental Barrier. A barrier made of both fire and wind formed around Kagami’s field. I can only activate this spell while I control two or more Elemental Hero Monsters and as long as this card is in play I don’t take any damage from battles that involve my Elemental Hero Monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Antonio said as he drew his sixth card. Despite the way, Kagami set her field, Antonio was not intimidated in the slightest. “ First off I Summon Ancient Gear Statue in attack mode. A small sculpture made of a scrap appeared on Antonio’s field.

Ancient Gear Statue
LV:2
ATK:500

“ This is not good for Kagami,” Silver said.

“ Why would you say that? that pile of junk is too weak to make a difference,” Lightning said.

“ That Pile of Junk as you called it is just a stepping stone for summoning a much more dangerous monster this deck is known for,” Silver said.

“ You don’t mean?” Lyra asked sensing where Silver was going with this.

“ That’s right. Ancient Gear Golem. A card that not only inflicts piercing damage but during the Battle Phase the opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards,” Silver said.

“ Next I activate the Spell Machine Duplication that allows me to Special Summon two more Statues from my Deck. Two more Ancient Gear Statues popped up on both sides of the first one.

Ancient Gear Statue x2
LV:2
ATK:500

“ Next I use the effect of my Statues. When one is Tributed I can Special Summon Ancient Gear Golem ignoring the Summoning Conditions so I tribute all three to Special Summon three Ancient Gear Golems from my Hand. All three Statues glowed before disappearing and in their place stood three Ancient Gear Golems ready to smash Kagami’s Monsters.

Ancient Gear Golem x3
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ Next I activate the Spell Recycle Draw. by banishing a Machine-Type Monster from my GY I can draw two cards. Antonio banished one of his Statues and drew his two cards. “ Now to get rid of that pesky Barrier of yours I activate the Quick-Play Spell Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy it. Antonio was sure his plan would work until Kagami spotted the first Action card of the match and grabbed it then played it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Magical Firewall. This not only negates the activation of your Spell you also take 500 points of damage. Antonio was suddenly burned as his points went down.

Togami Tsurugi:4000
Antonio Aldini:3500

“ You may have saved your Barrier but your monsters won’t be safe,” Antonio said.

“ Before the Battle begins I activate the Trap Invincible Hero now my monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn. Antonio looked upset that his plan failed.

“ Fine I end my turn go ahead and make whatever move you wish your monsters still won’t beat me,” Antonio said.

“ My turn I draw,” Kagami said as she drew her second card. Kagami looked displeased she had nothing to deal with Antonio’s Golems until she saw what she drew. “ First I activate the Spell Heroes Charity. this allows me to draw five cards but I must discard a Hero Monsters or my entire hand is discarded. Kagami drew five cards and was pleased she managed to draw the monster that would help her in this situation. “ I discard my Necroshade to keep my hand. Next, I will use Necroshade’s effect from my GY if he is in my GY I can Normal Summon a high-level Elemental Hero Monster without tributing any monsters so welcome to the game Elemental Hero Bladedge. Bladedge appeared on the field looking ready to slice up Antonio’s Gear Golems.

Elemental Hero Bladedge
LV:7
ATK:2600

“ Nice try but your Bladedge is not strong enough to cut me down,” Antonio said.

“ Your right he is not strong enough at least not yet. I activate the Equip Spell Edge Enhancer this not only gives my Bladedge an extra 600 attack points but any battle damage he inflicts becomes doubled. Bladedge’s blades became longer and much sharper.

2600 + 600 = 3200

“ Next I activate the Spell Fusion Recovery this allows me to add Polymerization and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix to my hand. After adding her cards back to her hand Kagami made her next move. '' Next, I use Polymerization to fuse the Mistral on my field with the Burstinitrix in my hand. Both monsters appeared in the fusion vortex before spinning.

“ Mighty heroine of the skies combine with the heroine of fire and justice to form an undying flame of justice and might! Fusion Summon! Take to the skies! Level nine! Elemental Hero Phoenix Whirlwind! A woman wearing a phoenix shaped mask with long orange hair wearing an orange skin-tight suit with matching feathers in certain places and wings of the same color.

Elemental Hero Phoenix Whirlwind
LV:9
ATK:3300

“ When Phoenix Whirlwind is successfully Fusion Summoned she lowers your monsters attack points by 400 for every Elemental Hero monster I currently control so with three monsters on my field your three junkpiles each lose 1200 attack points. Phoenix Whirlwind unleashed a mighty gust of wind that caused all three Ancient Gear Golems to rust up as they got weaker.

3000 - 1200 = 1800 x3

“ Now that everything's in place, time to battle. Bladedge attack the Ancient Gear Golem in the center with Slice and Dice Attack. Bladedge charged at his target ready to slice them until Antonio reacted.

“ You won't beat me that easily. When one of my Machine-Type Monsters is attacked I can discard my Overclock Mech to double the targeted monster’s attack points during the damage step. Ancient Gear Golem began to power up.

1800 x 2 = 3600

“ You may not take any damage thanks to your Barrier but your Bladedge still bites the dust. Ancient Gear Golem managed to destroy Bladedge with a single punch.

“ I will admit that was a good move. If Bladedge had succeeded with his attack, you would have taken 2800 points of damage. But I still have two more attacks to hit you with. Phoenix whirlwind attacks the center Ancient Gear Golem with Wings Of Liberty. Phoenix Whirlwind flew at Ancient Gear Golem with wings made of iron and managed to slice it before making it explode.

Togami Tsurugi:4000
Antonio Aldini:2000

“ Now Magma Blade will attack the Golem on the right with Flame Sabre Slash. Magma Blade took off and moved like a blur before appearing behind Ancient Gear Golem and sheathing her sword which caused Ancient Gear Golem to explode.

Togami Tsurugi:4000
Antonio Aldini:1000

“ You may have survived this round but next turn you are finished so for now I end my turn,” Kagami said.

“ My turn I draw,” Antonio said as he drew his card. Antonio looked flustered after seeing how outmatched he was with two powerful monsters staring down his weakened Golem until he saw that he drew something that could give him a potential chance to turn things around. “ I activate the Spell Card Of Sanctity which allows both of us to draw until we each have six cards in our hand. Antonio drew six cards while Kagami drew four. Antonio looked pleased with what he drew. “ Next I activate the Spell Ancient Gear Inspection by returning an Ancient Gear monster on the field to my hand I can draw one more card so my Golem returns to my hand. As soon as Ancient Gear Golem left the field Antonio drew his card and looked pleased with it. “ Next I activate the Spell Mech Salvage which allows me to add a Level four or lower Machine-type monster from my GY to my hand so I will add one of my Statues to my hand not that it will be there for long because I’m also summoning it. Ancient Gear Statue reappeared on the field.

Ancient Gear Statue
LV:2
ATK:500

“ Next I tribute my Statue to bring back my Golem at full power. Ancient Gear Golem returned with all its strength.

Ancient Gear Golem
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ I activate the Spell Mechanized Melee. I can only activate this card while I control Ancient Gear Golem and this card deals you damage equal to Ancient Gear Golem’s original attack points so let's see your barrier protect you from 3000 points of effect damage. Ancient Gear Golem unleashed a blast of steam on Kagami making her Life points now equal to Antonio’s.

Togami Tsurugi:1000
Antonio Aldini:1000

“ That's not all. My spell also allows me to destroy one Spell or Trap on the field so say goodby to your Barrier. Elemental Barrier finally shattered leaving her vulnerable to damage. “ Unfortunately I can’t attack the turn I used this card so I will end my turn don’t think you won because on my next turn you're finished.

“ We shall see. My turn I draw,” Kagami said as she drew her seventh card. Kagami looked ready to end this and made her move. “ I’m afraid this is where we shall end this. Magma Blade attack Ancient Gear Golem. Magma Blade prepared to attack which confused Antonio.

“ Are you mad your monster is not strong enough to beat my Golem,” Antonio said in a flustered tone.

“ That does not matter. Magma Blade’s effect allows her to automatically destroy the monster she attacks without calculating damage then you take damage equal to half your destroyed monster's attack points. As soon as Ancient Gear Golem exploded the falling debris drained the rest of Antonio’s Life Points.

Togami Tsurugi:1000
Antonio Aldini:0
WINNER:Togami Tsurugi

During the end of the Battle, Kagami discarded a card from her hand as per the rules saying no duelist can have no more than six cards in their hand. Antonio returned to his team’s pit and passed the baton to Maria who was waiting for him.

“ Sorry I could not beat her. That Magma Blade’s effect took me by surprise,” Antonio said.

“ It’s fine at least you managed to score a massive blow to Kagami’s Life Points now leave the rest to me,” Maria said before taking off.

“ And taking the second leg for Team Dragonflame is Maria Garcia,” The Mc said. As soon as Maria caught up to Kagami she drew her opening hand and the duel continued.

DUEL
Kagami Tsurugi:1000
Maria Garcia:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Maria said as she drew her sixth card. After checking her hand Maria made her move. “ First I set a Monster face-down. A Face Down monster appeared on Maria’s field. “ Next I activate the Spell Shaddoll Fusion This card allows me to Fusion Summon a Shaddoll Fusion Monster using monsters from my hand or Field but since you control Monster from the Extra deck I can also use monsters in my deck so I will fuse Shaddoll Beast and Denko Sekka from my Deck. Two cards appeared before turning into a warrior lady with blue armor and a creature bound by strings.

“ Mighty warrior of the Land of Snow combine with the corrupted beast of darkness and become one! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level Eight! El Shaddoll Construct! A woman resembling a nun made out of metal appeared while attached to strings.

El Shaddoll Construct
LV:8
ATK:2800

“ When my Construct is Special Summoned I can send a Shaddoll card from Deck to my GY so I send Shaddoll Hound to my GY. Now the effects of my Hound and Beast activate First Beast lets me draw one card. Maria drew her card before continuing. “ Next Hound lets me change the battle mode of one monster on the field so I will target my set monster. Maria’s set monster flipped face-up revealing to be a dark dragon with strings attached to it.

Shaddoll Dragon
LV:4
ATK:1900

“ Now my Shaddoll Dragon’s Flip effect activates which sends one card on your side of the field back to your hand so I send Phoenix Whirlwind back to your Extra Deck. Dragon unleashed a breath of dark fire that caused Phoenix Whirlwind to vanish. “ Now that She is gone, time to Battle. Construct will attack Magma Blade. Kagami was expecting both monsters to destroy each other since their attack points were even only for Maria to break that thought. “ Construct’s effect activates. At the start of the damage step any Special Summoned Monster Construct battles is instantly destroyed. Construct attached her strings to Magma Blade and then yanked her into the sky before she exploded. “ Now Dragon attacks you Directly. Dragon unleashed more dark fire which drained the rest of Kagami’s Life Points.

Kagami Tsurugi:0
Maria Garcia:4000

WINNER: Maria Garcia

Kagami drove back to her team’s pit and passed the baton to Adrian.

“ Be careful Adrian,” Kagami said.

“ Relax I got this,” Adrian said before taking off.

“ And now taking the second leg for Team Miraculous is Adrian Agreste,” The Mc shouted. As soon as he caught up to Maria he drew his opening hand and the duel continued.

DUEL
Adrian Agreste:4000
Maria Garcia:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Adrian said as he drew his sixth card. Adrian thought hard about how to get around Construct until he noticed what he drew which was exactly what he needed. “ First I summon Destiny Hero Doom Lord in attack mode. A fiendish looking hero with a red cape appeared ready for action.

Destiny Hero Doom Lord
LV:3
ATK:600

“ Like that can beat me your monster is too weak to fight either of mine, “Maria said.

“ Who said I was attacking I activate my Doom Lord’s effect which allows me to banish one of your monsters for the next two turns so say goodbye to your Construct. Doom Lord fired some chains at Construct and as soon as they bound her she vanished from the field. “ Next I activate the Spell Polymerization fusing the Destiny Hero Drilldark and Destiny Hero Diamond Dude that is in my hand. Both of Adrian’s Monsters appeared before spinning in the fusion vortex.

“ Mighty hero that pierces the darkness with your drill fuse with the warrior who’s diamonds shine a light on the future and become one! Fusion Summon! Rise! Level Eight! Destiny Hero Dystopia! A warrior with purple and yellow body armor and a red D on his mask appeared ready for action.

Destiny Hero Dystopia
LV:8
ATK:2800

“ When Dystopia is Special Summoned I can target a Level Four or lower Destiny Hero in my Gy and inflict damage to you equal to its attack points and I think I will choose my Drilldark which has 1600 attack points. Dystopia generated a sphere of electricity and then fired it at Maria who took it.

Adrian Agreste:4000
Maria Garcia:2400

“ I can’t attack the same turn I used my Doom Lord’s effect so I will end my Turn with Two cards Face-down,” Adrian said as two set cards appeared behind his monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Mari said as she drew her sixth card. Maria checked her hand and noticed she drew something that could work. “ First I set a monster. A set monster appeared next to Dragon. “ Next I activate the Spell book Of Taiyou which flips my set monster into attack position. A ray of sunshine enveloped Maria’s set monster before it flipped into attack position and summoned a shadowy falcon bound by strings.

Shaddoll Falco
LV:2
ATK:600

When my Shaddoll Falco has been flipped face-up I can Special Summon another Shaddoll monster from my GY in Face-Down Defense Position so I will bring back my Beast. A set monster appeared next to Falco. “ Next I activate the Continuous Spell Tarotrei’s Influence while this card is out all my Flip Effect monsters are changed back into Face-Down Defense Position during my End Phase but it also gives me the option to change them into Face Up Attack Position once per turn. Right before Maria could call the end of her turn Adrian acted.

“ Before you End your Turn I activate the Trap D Sabre, this equips onto a Destiny Hero Monster and not only increases its attack points by 500 but also gives that monster the ability to inflict Piercing Damage and I equip it onto Dystopia. A blade that looked like a broad sword with a capital D on the bottom of the handle appeared before Dystopia grabbed it.

2800 + 500 = 3300

“ Whenever Dystopia’s attack points change his effect activates. I can target one card on the field and destroy it however Destropia’s attack points return to their original value afterward and the card I destroy is Shaddoll Dragon. Go, Squeeze Palm. Dystopia used the vacuum on his hand to suck in Shaddoll Dragon and then made a fist.

“ Big deal, you just activated my Dragon’s other effect. When he is sent to the GY by a card effect I can destroy one Spell or Trap on the field so there goes your D Sabre. Dark flames consumed D Sabre and before it could be destroyed Adrian went for his other set card.

“ I activate the Trap Fake Trap when one of my Trap cards is about to be destroyed; this card takes the hit instead. Adrian’s Fake Trap was now on fire while D Sabre looked undamaged.

“ I end my turn and during the End Phase, My spell sets my Falco Face-down. Falco was returned to Face-Down Defense Position by magical waves.

“ My turn I draw,” Adrian said as he drew his card. Adrian needed a way to deal with Maria’s monsters without flipping or sending them to the GY and noticed that even though he did not draw it yet he still had hope. “ First I activate the Spell Hero Dimension Draw by banishing a Hero Monster from my GY I can draw two cards so I will banish the Drilldark that is in my GY. After banishing his declared monster Adrian drew his two cards and smiled at what he drew. “ Just what I needed I activate the Spell Doom Lord’s Dominance. I can only use this card while I control Destiny Hero Doom Lord and it banishes all the monsters on your side of the field for two turns. Both of Maria’s monsters vanished from the field which made her look upset since their effects don’t activate. “ Next I activate the Quick-Play Spell Pot Of Acquisitiveness By returning three banished cards to the deck I can draw one card so I return your Falco, Beast, and Construct to your deck. After all three of Maria’s monsters returned to her deck, Adrian drew his card and smiled more. “ Next I Summon Destiny Hero Shadow Panther in attack mode. A man wearing a black panther style costume with blades for claws and piercing green eyes appeared on the field ready to slice someone up.

Destiny Hero Shadow Panther
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ When Panther is Normal Summoned I can destroy one Spell or Trap on the field so I destroy your Tarotrei’s Influence. Panther threw one of his blades at Maria’s spell and destroyed it. “ Time to battle. Dystopia attack Maria Directly with Destiny Blade Slash. Dystopia charged at Maria and delivered the final blow that drained the rest of her life points.

Adrian Agreste:4000
Maria Garcia:0
WINNER: Adrian Agreste

Maria drove back to her team’s pit where Luka was waiting for her. As soon as she pulled over next to Luka she passed the baton to him.

“ Sorry for not beating him, he is quite strong,” Maria said.

“ It's ok just leave the rest to me,” Luka said before taking off.

“ And taking the last leg for Team Dragonflame is Luka Wildwind,” The Mc shouted as Luke caught up to Adrian. Luka drew his opening hand and the duel picked up again.

DUEL
Adrian Agreste:4000
Luka Wildwind:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Luka said as he drew his sixth card. Luka looked pleased with what he drew and made his move. “ First I summon Black Dragon’s Chick. A red egg suddenly appeared before hatching into a small black dragon whelp.

Black Dragon’s Chick
LV:1
ATK:800

“ Next I will use my chick’s effect by Tributing Chick I can Special Summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my hand. As soon as Chick left the field a Dragon with black scales and red eyes appeared before unleashing a mighty roar.

Red Eyes Black Dragon
LV:7
ATK:2400

“ Next I activate the Spell Inferno Fire Blast by targeting my Red Eyes he can inflict damage equal to his original attack points so you're taking 2400 points of damage. Red Eyes unleashed his signature attack on Adrain which took a huge chunk out of his Life Points.

Adrian Agreste:1600
Luka Wildwind:4000

“ As much as I want to finish you off, Red Eyes can’t attack during the turn I use Inferno Fire Blast so I will end my Turn by setting three cards Face-down,” Luka said as three set cards appeared behind Red Eyes.

“ My turn I draw,” Adrian said as he drew his card. Adrian was certain one of Luka’s set cards could end things if he was not careful. After thinking it over Adrian decided to bait Luka into using his face-downs. “ First I activate my Doom Lord’s effect to banish Red Eyes for two turns. Just as Doom Lord was about to banish Red Eyes Luka reacted.

“ I activate the Trap Red-Eyes Metal Morph this card equips onto Red-Eyes Black Dragon and makes him unaffected by your Spells, Traps, or Monster Effects so Red Eyes is not going anywhere. Red Eyes was suddenly covered in a metallic liquid that turned his whole body into metal.

“ Fine, then I will just destroy him in battle. Dystopia attacks Red Eyes. Just as Dystopia was about to attack Luka went for another set card.

“ That won’t work either because I activate the Trap Soul Force by paying 1000 life points. I can target one monster in my GY and equip it to my Red Eyes and Red eyes gains attack points equal to the equipped monster’s attack points and the monster I equip is Black Dragon Chick. After paying his points and equipping his monster Red eyes grew stronger by 800 points.

Adrian Agreste:1600
Luka Wildwind:3000

2400 + 800 = 3200

Adrain noticed a clutch Action card up ahead and grabbed it and after seeing it he quickly activated it. “ I activate the action Spell Double Attack that doubles my Dystopia’s attack points. Dystopia grew more powerful.

2800 x 2 = 5600

Dystopia managed to inflict a good amount of damage but Red Eyes managed to survive the attack.

Adrian Agreste:1600
Luka Wildwind:600

“ My Red Eyes is not going anywhere because by sending Red-Eyes Metal Morph to my GY Red Eyes is not destroyed this turn.

“ Your monster may have survived but I have one last trick up my sleeve. I activate the Spell Bait Doll. This forces your remaining set card to activate.

“ You fool, do you even know what you just did? Did you Activated my Trap Red Eyes Sacrifice when this card is activated. Not only is my Red-Eyes Black Dragon sent to my GY but we both take damage equal to his original attack points. Red eyes fired two balls of fire into the air before vanishing and as soon as they both hit Luka and Adrian both of them lost all of their Life Points.

Adrian Agreste:0
Luka Wildwind:0
DRAW

“ And that's it, folks. Since Team Dragonflame lost all three of their duelists Team Miraculous wins the match,” The MC shouted as the crowd went wild. The celebration was cut short when reports of a girl with blonde hair wearing a yellow bodysuit with black stripes and yellow skin were heard.

“ Sorry to cut this short but we must be going see you three at the next venue,” Marinette said before she and her teammates left. Silver knew whatever was going on was something important so he and his team returned to the hotel for the day to rest up and get ready to leave in the morning.

Chloe's Sting

After packing their bags Silver and his team were on their way to the lobby to check out. As soon as they got there Marinette and her two friends were waiting for them.

“ Looks like the next match is taking place in California in some place called Canterlot City,” Marinette said.

“ Yay our turn to have a home field game,” Lightning said finally going someplace where the crowd will be happy to see her.

“ Don’t you enjoy traveling?” Adrian asked.

“ Normally I do but through this whole circuit, the crowd hated us. The Japanese and The Eqyptians booed us like we were the bad guys,” Lightning said.

“ Don’t let the locals put you down. It’s common for them to root for their home team. Believe us we know how you feel. The Russians, The British, Even the Hungarians booed us because we were the away team,” Marinette said.

“ The Chinese only cheered us on because their team consisted of three infamous martial artists who were nothing but a disgrace to China,” Lyra said.

“ I remember that match. The leader used a forbidden deck that was later incinerated by the Spirits of the Dragon Rulers,” Marinette said.

“ How did you know about that part?” Silver asked.

“ Let’s just say a friend of mine knows a lot about Chinese stuff,” Marinette said trying her best to hide her master’s knowledge of what happened. As they were talking Chloe came in and looked upset with Lyra for some reason.

“ Get away from my man you mint-colored harlot,” Chloe shouted as she forced herself onto Silver.

“ You leave my Boyfriend alone you hussy,” Lyra shouted after grabbing Silver’s arm. Chloe and Lyra were now having a tug of war with Silver until he came close to exploding.

“ Enough both of you. Don’t I have a say in this love triangle?” Silver asked.

“ Silver I’m just trying to protect you,” Lyra said.

“ You know my heart belongs to you, my minty goddess. but this spoiled brat won’t back off unless I do something about her,” Silver pointed out.

“ If it’s a duel you want then I’m game but if I win you dump that loser and become my man,” Chloe said.

“ Fine with me but If I win you are to stay 500 feet away from me and my friends. Got it? Silver said.

“ Whatever let’s do this,” Chloe said as she activated her duel disk which was yellow with black stripes.

“ What’s with the bee motif?” Lightning asked with Marinette groining about it.

“ Chloe has this crazy notion that she is actually Queen Bee when in fact ladybug said herself that she will never be Queen Bee ever again,” Marinette said which confused Lyra, Lightning, and Ratchet.

“ Queen Bee was one of Paris’s Superheros until she broke the rules of being a Superhero,” Adrian explained.

“ And what rules are those?” Lightning asked.

“ One she revealed her secret Identity to everyone in Paris just so she could try and make her mom proud of her, which failed I might add,” Marinette said as Silver activated his Duel Disk.

“ That’s enough out of the peanut gallery time to duel,” Chloe shouted as both Chloe and Silver drew their opening hands.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Chloe Bourgeois:4000

“ The first move is mine,” Chloe said while checking her hand. After looking at her opening hand Chloe pulled a card from it. “ First I activate the Field Spell Honeycomb Breeding Grounds. The entire lobby transformed into the inside of a beehive with a lake of honey with honeycombs in the walls and a hardened mound in the center.

“ What is the meaning of this hive?” Lightning asked.

“ You’re about to find out. You see once per turn Honeycomb Breeding Grounds lets me Special Summon an Insect-Type Monster from either my hand or GY and on the subject of Insects I use this effect to Special Summon Battlewasp - Drill the Lancer from my Hand. A bee-like insect with yellow and white stripes and a drill-like stinger flew out of one of the honeycombs and hovered onto Chloe’s field.

Battlewasp - Drill The Lancer
LV:4
ATK:1800

“ Before I get into what my Lancer can do I activate the Continuous Spell Battlewasp Venom Sting As long as this card is in play all effect damage my Battlewasp monsters inflicts becomes doubled. Drill’s stinger began to glow purple. “ Next I activate the Spell Gene Splice by discarding a Level three Insect-Type Monster from my hand I can Special Summon three Level One Insect-Type monsters from my Deck so I discard my Level Three Battlewasp - Twinbow The Attacker I can Special Summon Three Battlewasp - Pin the Bulleyes from my Deck. Three smaller bees flew onto the field before hovering over it with their needles glowing purple.

Battlewasp - Pin The Bullseye x3
LV:1
ATK:200

“ Now that I have everything I need time for my OTK. First, up the effect of my Pin The Bullseye which inflicts 200 points of damage for each Pin The Bullseye I control so with three of them that’s 600 points of damage but thanks to Battlewasp Venom Strike that damage is doubled so that’s 1200 points of damage. Pin the Bullseye fired its needle at Silver who ended up taking it.

Silver Chance:2800
Chloe Bourgeois:4000

“ Don’t think you are safe yet because my other two Pin The Bullseyes can use the same effect so here is 2400 points of damage. Chloe’s other two monsters fired their needles at Silver who just took them.

Silver Chance:400
Chloe Bourgeois:4000

“ This is not good,” Lightning said.

“ Tell me about it. It’s only the first turn of the duel and Silver is already losing,” Lyra said

“ I wouldn’t count Silver out just yet. Look,” Ratchet said referring to How Silver looks focused despite being at a disadvantage.

“ You’re right he looks like he is ready to turn things around,” Lyra said.

“ I hate to burst all your bubbles but Silver has no chance of winning because I activate my Drill The Lancer’s effect. Once per turn Drill inflicts 300 points of damage for every Battlewasp Monster I control so with four of them out that’s 1200 points of damage which thanks to my spell card is doubled to 2400 points of damage. Just when it looked like Chloe was about to win with a tornado from Drill’s stinger Silver reacted.

“ I won’t let that happen. By discarding my Effect Veiler your Drill’s effect is negated. As soon as Silver discarded his declared card Drill The Lancer was covered in a cloth that smothered its power.

“ You may have survived this turn but with only 400 Life Points left you’re finished on my next turn,” Chloe said before declaring the end of her turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fifth card. Silver was in a very serious bind since he had no monsters in his hand that he could summon and nothing that could save him from Chloe’s burn combos. Silver looked close to giving up until he spotted the one card in his hand that could save him. “ I activate the Spell Card Of Fate this card allows each of us to pick a card from our decks and then we each chose four random cards from each other’s deck. Then the five cards are shuffled and we each pick and reveal one to add to our hand while the rest go back into the Deck. So let’s do this. Silver and Chloe each pick their cards before drawing out four random cards from each other’s decks. The five cards appeared over both of them before shuffling around. “ I will pick the second to the left card. As the card flipped Silver was feeling nervous until it revealed to be the card he was hoping for. “ Looks like I got Damage Neutralizer which is just what I needed. After adding the card to his hand the other four cards returned to Silver’s deck which was then shuffled.

“ I pick the far right,” Chloe said. As soon as the declared card was revealed Chloe looked happy. “ Looks like I got my Battlewasp - Sting the Poison. After adding her card to her hand Chloe’s other four cards were shuffled into her deck as well.

“ Now that our game of chance has concluded time for me to turn this around and to start I activate the Continuous Spell Damage Neutralizer. As long as this card is on my field any Effect Damage I take is reduced to Zero. A pair of Pylons came out of the ground on Silver’s side and formed a barrier around Silver’s field. “ Next I activate the Spell Seven Star Legacy by discarding a Level Seven monster from my hand I can draw two cards so I discard my Buster Blader to draw two cards. After discarding his monster and drawing two cards Silver looked pleased. “ Next I activate the Spell Painful Revival this allows me to Special Summon as many monsters as possible from my GY in Defense Mode however I take 500 points of damage for each monster I bring back with this effect but thanks to my Damage Neutralizer that risk is no longer a problem so I bring back my Buster Blader and Effect Veiler. Both of Silver’s Monsters returned and took a defensive stance.

Buster Blader
LV:7
DEF:2300

Effect Veiler
LV:1
DEF:0

“ Next I tune my Level one Effect Veiler with my Level Seven Buster Blader to Synchro Summon a monster that will help me end this. Effect Veiler flew into the air before turning into a single star and then into a single Ring that encircled Buster Blader and turned him into seven stars that fell into alignment.

LV:7 + LV:1 = LV8

“ Mighty Dragon of the king take flight and burn my opponents to Ash! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level Eight! Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend! Scarlight flew onto the field which caused everyone except for Chloe to be amazed.

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ I had no idea Silver was carrying such a rare and powerful card,” Adrien said.

“ Just keep watching because Chloe is about to witness what real burn damage looks like,” Lightning said.

“ Next I activate the Spell Absolute Power Force. I can only activate this card while I control Red Dragon Archfiend which thanks to Scarlight’s effect I do. This card allows me to destroy all the cards on your field. Scarlight slammed his palm on the ground and unleashed a gazer of fire onto Chloe’s field which destroyed everything including the hive around them. “ And that’s not all for each card destroyed by this effect you take 800 points of damage. Chloe was suddenly consumed by the flames as her Life Points dropped to zero.

Silver Chance:400
Chloe Bourgeois:0
Winner: Silver Chance

“ You did it, Silver you won,” Lyra said joyfully.

“ I sure did. Now as per our agreement Chloe Bourgeois you are not allowed within 500 feet of me or my friends starting now,” Silver said before the owner of the Hotel arrived.

“ Please reconsider Mr. Chance. my daughter is one of your biggest fans is there anything I can do to change your mind?” The owner pleaded.

“ There is nothing either you or Chloe can do to change my mind. She tried to drive a wedge between me and the one girl I could ever ask for. Even if I weren’t taken, I still would not accept Chloe because I don’t date girls who are spoiled and rotten like she is. Now if you don’t mind me and my friends have a plane to catch and your Daughter has wasted enough of our time,” Silver said as he and his friends left which left both the hotel owner and Chloe upset.

“ You know you didn’t have to sound so vindictive and cruel to both of them,” Adrien said.

“ Yeah your beef was with Chloe, not her dad,” Marinette said.

“ Sorry, it’s just I hate it when people like Chloe get away with stuff like this without any consequences,” Silver said.

“ I get what you mean and your right about how unjust it is when people like Chloe go unpunished for everything they do but here negative feelings of any kind are a bad thing,” Marinette said.

“ What’s the worst that can happen?” Lightning asked.

“ People who show any signs of negative emotions such as anger, sadness, or hatred become prime targets for Hawkmoth and his Akuma’s,” Marinette explained.

“ You know I heard about people talking about it but no one ever told us what it all means,” Lyra said. Marinette and her two friends explained everything on their way to the airport.

Elemental Healing

The Plane from Paris soon landed and as soon as Silver and his friends old and new left the Airport some familiar faces came up to greet them.

“ Silver, Lyra, Lightning, Ratchet. It’s so good to see guys again,” Sunset said.

“ As soon as we heard the Fourth round of the A Block was being held here in Canterlot City we just had to come to see you,” Twilight said.

“ Good to see you, girls, too,” Silver said.

“ By the way who are these three?” Twilight asked.

“ They are our opponents for the match,” Lyra said.

“ You will have to introduce us later. Right now Pinkie and the others are waiting for you guys,” Sunset said. Sometime later Sunset and Twilight took Silver and his friends back to the Silver Mansion where Pinkie and the others were waiting for them. As soon as they entered the door a bunch of cannons full of confetti went off.

“ Welcome Home Team Silverwing,” Everyone shouted.

“ You guys you didn’t have to do this,” Silver said.

“ Nonsense you guys made it to the semi-finals besides when we heard the match between you and the French Team was taking place here Pinkie insisted we celebrate your return,” Rainbow said.

“ And I’m guessing you guys are the french team?” Rainbow asked.

“ We are and I’m guessing you want us to leave,” Marinette said.

“ No, please stay,” Pinkie said. The party began and everyone was enjoying themselves. Silver filled everyone including their new friends from Paris about their journey thus far.

The next day both teams were ready to go and waited for the mc to arrive. A few minutes later the Mc showed up and took the mic.

“ Welcome everyone to the first semi-Final duel of the WRGP and what a duel it will be. So let’s start by introducing the teams for this match. First up from our very own city of Canterlot are the heroic wings of justice. Team Silverwing,” The Mc shouted as the crowd went wild for Team Silverwing’s arrival.

“ Feels good to have the applause being for us right from the start for once,” Lightning said.

“ Just remember Marinette and her team are our friends too. So focus on playing a good match and not the crowd,” Silver said reminding Lightning about what is more important.

“ And All the way from the lovely city of Paris and France. The Team of Heroes who dominated the EU and then some. Team Miraculous,” The Mc shouted while introducing Marinette and her friends which caused the crowd to get into an uproar and boo them which Silver did not like.

“ SILENCE,” Silver shouted at the top of his longs which shut the crowd up. “ SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR OUR OPPONENTS. After silver’s demand for the crowd to be respectful was heard the crowd changed their attitude towards Marinette and her team. Both teams sent their first duelists out to the starting line.

“ And now let’s get this match started. First up from Team Silverwing is Lyra Heartstrings and first up from Team Miraculous is Kagami Tsurugi,” The Mc shouted as both duelists looked ready to go. “ Now activating the Action Field Speed World V. Ramps and half-pipes began to form around the track like usual but this time something new was included which Silver and his team recognized. “ That’s right folks the rumors you heard were true. For this semi-final match, with the help of the goldenburn construction company and Silver Corp R&D division, we built some special duel lanes that take the action above the city but don’t worry folks we set up cameras all over the course so you don’t miss any of the action. As soon as the Mc Finished explaining both Lyra and Kagami took off and after using her nitro Lyra managed to round the corner first. Both duelists drew their opening hands and started the match.

DUEL
Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Kagami Tsurugi:4000

“ The first move is mine,” Lyra said. After checking her hand she saw the best way to start things off. “ First I activate the Continuous Spell Valhalla Hall Of The Fallen. Lyra’s Bifrost appeared like it always does. '' Next, I activate another Continuous Spell called Titania’s Spring.

“ What exactly do those do?” Kagami asked.

“ You’re about to find out. First, since I have no monsters on my field Valhalla lets me Special Summon A fairy-Type Monster from my hand so with this effect I Special Summon Guardian Angel Joan in attack mode. Guardian Angel Joan descended from the Bifrost and appeared on the field.

Guardian Angel Joan
LV:7
ATK:2800

“ Next up Titania’s Spring activates. Whenever I Normal or Special Summon a Fairy-Type monster I gain 500 Life points. Lyra was suddenly covered in a green aura as her Life Points went up.

Lyra Heartstrings:4500
Kagami Tsurugi:4000

“ Next up I summon Fairy Archer in attack mode. Fairy Archer landed on the field gracefully next to Joan.

Fairy Archer
LV:3
ATK:1400

“ Before I get to what she can do my Spring activates again since Fairy Archer is a Fairy-Type Monster. Lyra was covered in a green aura again as her Life Points went up.

Lyra Heartstrings:5000
Kagami Tsurugi:4000

“ I may not be able to attack during the first turn but I can still inflict some damage thanks to my fairy Archer’s effect which inflicts 400 points of damage for every LIGHT Attribute monster I control so with two of them that’s 800 points of damage. Fairy Archer unleashed her arrow on Kagami and dealt some decent damage to her.

Lyra Heartstrings:5000
Kagami Tsurugi:3200

“ Not bad. Anything else?” Kagami asked.

“ Not at the moment, for now, I end my turn with one card face-down,” Lyra said.

“ My turn I draw,” Kagami said as she drew her sixth card. Kagami was cautious of Lyra’s set card since it could be a possible countermeasure against her fusion monsters. After checking her hand she saw her strategy form. “ First I activate the Spell E Emergency Call this allows me to add an Elemental Hero Monster from my deck to my hand so I will add Elemental Hero Sparkman to my hand. After adding her declared card to her hand Kagami continued her move. “ Next I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode. Sparkman appeared on the field in a bolt of lightning.

Elemental Hero Sparkman
LV:4
ATK:1600

“ Next I activate the Spell R Righteous Justice this allows me to destroy one Spell or Trap for every Elemental hero I control so with one Elemental Hero I destroy one card so your set card is no more. Kagami’s card sent a big yellow R flying towards Lyra’s set card only for Lyra to smile.

“ You fell for my bluff. The card you just destroyed was Divine Shield and when a card effect destroys it I get to draw a card,” Lyra said as she drew her card.

“ No matter because now that I know you can,t stop me I activate the Spell Polymerization, and with it, I fuse the Sparkman on my field with the Wildheart in my hand. Both Sparkman and Wildheart appeared and spun in the fusion vortex.

“ Mighty hero of electricity combine with the swordsman of the jungle and become the blade of justice born from the sky itself! Fusion Summon! Rise! Level Eight! Elemental Hero Lightning Paladin! A warrior lady with long golden blonde hair wearing gold and cobalt armor with a matching blue cape wielding a pair of golden twin blades appeared and took a heroic pose while her blades crackled with electricity.

Elemental Hero Lightning Paladin
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ 3000 attack points?” Lyra said in shock.

“ That’s right and not just that she also has a very handy effect as well. My Paladin can attack twice during the battle,” Kagami said. As soon as Kagami finished explaining what her monster does she continued her turn. “ Time to battle Lightning Paladin attack Guardian Angel Joan with Lightning Sabre Slash. Lightning Paladin leaped into the air before crossing her blades and just when it looked like she was about to destroy Joan Lyra responded by pulling the only card in her hand.

“ Nice try Kagami but I activate the effect of Honest from my hand when a LIGHT Attribute monster I control either attacks or is attacked. I can discard this card to add your monster’s attack points to my monster during the damage step. Joan powered up as Honest’s wings appeared behind her.

2800 + 3000 = 5800

Just when it looked like Kagami was about to lose her monster she spotted the first Action card of the match and grabbed it. After reading it she wasted no time in activating it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Miracle. This not only saves my monster from destruction but the damage I take is cut in half. As soon as Paladin’s blades made contact Joan repelled her and Kagami took damage.

Lyra Heartstrings:5000
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

5800 - 3000 = 2800

“ You may have stopped my first attack but let's see you stop my second attack. Lightning Paladin attack Guardian Angel Joan again. Lightning Paladin prepared to attack Joan again. Just when it looked like she was finally about to destroy Joan Lyra spotted another Action Card and grabbed it before Kagami could and activated it.

“ I activate the action Spell Evasion now your attack is negated. Joan spun out of the way while Lightning Paladin’s attack missed.

“ You may have survived that but next turn you won't. I end with two cards face-down,” Kagami said as two set cards appeared behind Lightning Paladin.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her card. Lyra saw what she drew and looked slightly disappointed by it only because she would be risking everything on it. “ I activate the Spell Card Of Sanctity which allows both of us to draw until we each have six cards in our hand. Both Lyra and Kagami drew six cards and Lyra looked pleased with her draw. “ Next I activate the Spell Next World this allows me to select one of your monsters and Normal Summon a monster with the same level without any tributes so thanks to your Level Eight Lightning Paladin I Summon my Level Eight Mozarta The Melodious Maestra without any tributes. Mozarta appeared on the field gracefully while singing.

Mozarta The Melodious Maestra
LV:8
ATK:2600

“ And since Mozarta is a Fairy-Type Monster, Titania's Spring gives me 500 more Life Points. Lyra was covered in a green aura as her Life Points went up.

Lyra Heartstrings:5500
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

“ But I'm not done spanning the field yet I use Mozarta’s Effect to Special Summon the Tuner Monster Bifrost Guardian in attack mode. A warrior wearing nordic style armor with ancient runes engraved on it appeared next to Mozarta.

Bifrost Guardian
LV:2
ATK:800

“ And since my Guardian is a Fairy-Type Monster My Spring grants me 500 more Life Points. Lyra smiled as her points went up some more.

Lyra Heartstrings:6000
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

“ You're not the only one who can summon from the Extra Deck. I tune my level two Bifrost Guardian with my Level Eight Mozarta to Synchro Summon my most cherished creature. Bifrost Guardian swung his sword and generated two green rings that encircled Mozarta and turned her into Eight stars that fell into alignment.

8 + 2 = 10

“Song of the hero spread far and wide -- let your legendary melody bring hope to the masses and this battle’s victory to me! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level 10! Zelda the Melodious Goddess!” Zelda slowly descended onto the field while playing her lyre.

Zelda The Melodious Goddess
LV:10
ATK:4000

“ I knew you would try this. I activate the Trap Elemental Arrest,” Kagami said as a card with an image of Sparkman arresting a villain flipped face up. “ While I control an Elemental Hero and you Special Summon a monster with 2000 or more attack points this card equips on to that monster which not only negates that monster’s effects it also can’t attack. Zelda was suddenly bound by a pair of futuristic handcuffs while falling onto her knees As Lyra’s Life Points went up more thanks to her spring.

Lyra Heartstrings:6500
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

" Nice Try but I activate the Spell De-synchro this allows me to detune my Zelda and if the material monsters are in my GY I can summon them so welcome back Mozarta and Bifrost Guardian. Zelda suddenly disappeared which caused the Handcuff binding her to fall and then break before Mozarta and Bifrost Guardian returned.

Mozarta The Melodious Maestra
LV:8
ATK:2600

Bifrost Guardian
LV:2
ATK:800

“ And let me guess your Titania’s Spring goes into effect again,” Kagami said, sensing where this was going.

“ Correct but only for the initial summon. Even though I summoned more than one monster my spring only grants Life Points for the summoning, not the number of monsters summoned,” Lyra explained as her Life Points went up.

Lyra Heartstrings:6500
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

“ Next I activate Fairy Archer’s effect which inflicts 400 points of damage for every LIGHT Attribute monster I control so with four monsters that's 1600 points of damage. Fairy Archer drew her arrow back and fired it but just when it looked like it was about to land Kagami pulled a card from her hand.

“ Not so fast when I’m about to take Effect Damage by discarding Elemental Hero Quicksilver from my hand I regain Life Points equal to the damage I would have taken. Kagami was covered in a silver aura as a metallic man covered in silver appeared in front of her and blocked the arrow.

Lyra Heartstrings:6500
Kagami Tsurugi:3400

“ Not bad but not good enough I activate the Continuous Spell Alfheim United,” Lyra said as a spell with an image of fairies of different races holding hands appeared next to Titania’s Spring. “ This spell grants all my fairy-Type Monsters an extra 300 attack points for every fairy-Type Monster I control so with four already on my field that is a total of 1200 attack points. All of Lyra’s monsters began to power up.

2800 + 1200 = 4000

2600 + 1200 = 3800

1400 + 1200 = 2600

800 + 1200 = 2000

“ Time to battle. Joan attack Lightning Paladin. Joan unleashed a beam of light at Lightning paladinand managed to destroy her.

Lyra Heartstrings:6500
Kagami Tsurugi:2400

“ I activate the Trap Fusion Reincarnation,” Kagami said as a trap with an image of Avian and Burstinatrix in front of a grave with Flamewingman on it flipped face up. “ When a Fusion Monster I control is destroyed by battle if the material monsters are still in my GY I can summon them in Defense Mode so come on back Wildheart and Sparkman. Both of Kagami’s monsters returned and took a defensive stance.

Elemental Hero Wildheart
LV:4
DEF:1600

Elemental Hero Sparkman
LV:4
DEF:1400

“ No matter because when Guardian Angel Joan destroys a monster in battle I gain Life Points equal to the destroyed monster’s original attack points so since Lightning Paladin had 3000 attack points I gain 3000 Life Points. Lyra was covered in a healing light as her points went up some more.

Lyra Heartstrings:9500
Kagami Tsurugi:2400

“ You know I am beginning to get tired of you constantly healing yourself,” Kagami said.

“ Moving on my Mozarta will attack your Sparkman. Mozarta fired a score of music notes at Sparkman only for Kagami to react to it.

“ My Fusion Reincarnation has another effect by banishing it from my GY. The material monsters I brought back cannot be destroyed by battle this turn,” Kagami said as a barrier appeared around Sparkman and Wildheart.

“ Fine, I end my turn with one card Face-Down,” Lyra said as a set card appeared behind her monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Kagami said as she drew her sixth card. Kagami needed a way to get through all of Lyra’s monsters and her back row. Kagami looked pleased to see she drew what she needed. “ First I Activate the Continuous Spell Elemental Barrier Spell. While I control two or more Elemental Heros I don’t take any damage from battles involving them. A barrier made of rocks and light formed around Kagami’s field. '' Next, I activate the Spell Card Destruction now we both must send our entire hand to the GY and draw the same number of cards we discarded but since your hand is empty only I discard and draw. Kagami discarded the four cards in her hand and drew four cards. Kagami looked pleased with her draw and continued her turn. “ Since Necroshade is in my GY I can Normal Summon my Elemental Hero Bladedge without any tributes. Bladedge appeared and looked ready to slice up Lyra’s monsters.

Elemental Hero Bladedge
LV:7
ATK:2600

“ Next I activate the Spell Hero Mask I target one elemental hero monster I control and by discarding another Elemental Hero from my deck the targeted monster’s name becomes that of the discarded monster’s so I target my Bladedge and discard Elemental Hero Avian from my Deck. Bladedge was covered in a green aura. “ Next I activate the Spell Heroes Charity This allows me to draw until I have five cards in my hand but I must discard a Hero Monster or my entire hand goes to the GY. Kagami drew four more cards and then discarded a monster from her hand. “ Perfect I have everything I need to end this First up the Field Spell Skyscraper. A bunch of buildings began to pop out of the ground and transformed all of Canterlot City into a bigger city than it was before. “ Next up Copy Spell by paying 600 life points I can target one Spell in my GY and activate it however I cannot use that same Spell card for the duration of the duel and the Spell I am using is R Righteous Justice which destroys spells and traps you control equal to the number of Elemental Heros I control so with three of them I destroy all three of your Continuous Spells. The same flashing R from before shot out of the card and destroyed all three of Lyra’s Spell cards.

Lyra Heartstrings:9500
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

4000 - 1200 = 2800

3800 - 1200 = 2600

2600 - 1200 = 1400

2000 -1200 = 800

“ Next up the Equip Spell Edge Enhancer this not only gives Bladedge an extra 600 attack points but all battle damage he inflicts becomes doubled. Bladedge’s blades became longer and sharper.

2600 + 600 = 3200

“ And now for my last Spell card, I activate the Spell Feather Shot this allows Elemental Hero avian to attack multiple times equal to the number of Elemental Heros I control but only Avian can attack this turn and not directly,” Kagami said.

“ But you don’t have Avian on the field; he is in your GY,” Lyra said.

“ Did you forget about Hero Mask thanks to it Bladeedge can use Avian’s powers along with his own,” Kagami explained before resuming her turn. “ Time to battle Bladedge attack her Bifrost Guardian with Slice and Dice attack. Bladedge charged at Bifrost Guardian only for Lyra to use her set card.

“ Nice try but I activate the Trap Urgent Tuning which allows me to Synchro Summon during the Battle. Lyra was sure she had Kagami beat until the next action card came up and Kagami grabbed it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Magical Firewall. this not only negates Urgent Tuning but you also take 500 points of damage. Lyra was covered in flames as her life points dropped.

Lyra Heartstrings:9000
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

As soon as the glow faded Bladedge sliced up Bifrost Guardian and inflicted a ton of damage to Lyra.

Lyra Heartstrings:4200
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

“ Next up attack Fairy Archer. Bladedge charged at Fairy Archer and sliced her up inflicting more damage.

Lyra Heartstrings:600
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

“ And now attack Guardian Angel Joan and end this. Bladedge flew towards Joan ready to end it. Lyra looked around frantically for Action Cards but there were none to be found which allowed Bladedge to destroy Joan and the rest of Lyra’s Life points.

Lyra Heartstrings:0
Kagami Tsurugi:1800
WINNER: Kagami Tsurugi

Lyra drove back to her Team’s pit to pass the baton and Mozarta to Lightning.

“ I thought I had her with my healing combos,” Lyra said.

“ It’s not your fault Lyra you gave it everything you had,” Lightning said as she placed Mozarta on her duel disk and took off.

Inzektor Infestation

“ And now taking the last leg for team Silverwing is our very own Silver chance and taking the last leg for team Miraculous is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, “The Mc shouted as both duelists drew their opening hand.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Marinette Dupain-Cheng:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver was thinking carefully since Marinette’s deck and strategy are still a mystery to him since she didn’t take the track during the last round. Silver figured his best bet was to play defense and wait to see what Marinette does. “ I set two cards facedown and end my turn.

“ What is Silver doing? This isn’t like him at all,” Lightning said.

“ No, it’s exactly like him. Think about it. We didn’t get to see Marinette in action so her deck and strategy are unknown to us so Silver is playing some defense while waiting to find out,” Lyra said.

“ My turn I draw,” Marinette said while drawing her sixth card. Marinette was cautious of Silver’s set cards since she knew from experience one of them could turn things around if she was not careful. “ First I summon Inzektor Dragonfly in attack mode. A human-like creature wearing red armor that resembled a dragonfly with a suped-up crossbow appeared and locked onto Silver.

Inzektor Dragonfly
LV:3
ATK:1000

“ Next I equip the Inzektor Hornet from my hand to my Dragonfly. Dragonfly was suddenly equipped with a pile driver-like device that had a hornet motif that powered up Dragonfly.

1000 + 500 = 1500

3 + 3 = 6

“ Next by sending Hornet to my GY I can destroy one card on the field so I destroy the set card on the left. Dragonfly fired the pile driver which unleashed the spike which nailed Silver’s set card which revealed to be Drowning Mirror Force.

1500 - 500 = 1000

6 - 3 = 3

“ Drowning Mirror Force. Not bad. If I charged in recklessly my monsters would have been sent back to my Deck but enough about that on with the duel since I sent an Inzektor equipped to Dragonfly to my GY I can Special Summon another Inzektor monster from my Deck so welcome to the game Inzektor Centipede. A big guy wearing bronze armor resembling a centipede with pincer-like gauntlets appeared next to Dragonfly.

Inzektor Centipede
LV:3
ATK:1600

“ Next my Centipede equips the Hornet in my GY to himself. Centipede acquired the same pile driver from last time.

“ Next I send Hornet to the GY to destroy your other set card. The Pile driver destroyed Silver’s other set card which revealed to be a Trap Marinette hasn’t seen before.

“ Congrats you just destroyed the trap Clearwing Core Resonance. When this card is destroyed by a card effect I can Special Summon a Clearwing Monster from my Deck in Attack Mode so I Special Summon Clearwing Fire Maiden in attack mode. A girl with short red hair wearing red armor and a sword of the same color unleashing a blade made of yellow energy appeared on Silver’s Field.

Clearwing Fire Maiden
LV:3
ATK:1700

“ When Clearwing Fire Maiden is Normal or Special Summoned she inflicts 500 points of damage to you. Clearwing Fire Maiden unleashed a small burst of fire on Marinette.

Silver Chance:4000
Marinette Dupain-Cheng:3500

“ Not bad but it’s still my turn and I’m far from done. When my centipede sends an equip card to the GY he allows me to add another Inzektor monster from my Deck to my hand so I will add Giga Mantis to my hand. After adding her declared card to her hand Marinette continued her move. “ Next I equip my Centipede with the Giga Mantis that is in my hand and when this monster is equipped my Centipede’s original attack points become 2400. Centipede powered up as a pair of giant blades appeared on his arms.

1600 = 2400

“ Next I activate the Equip Spell Insect Booster Wing I can only equip this to a Level three or below Insect-type Monster and it allows that monster to attack you directly however the damage from that attack will only be half of the equipped monsters attack points and I equip it onto my Dragonfly. Dragonfly’s wings were replaced with a pair of metal wings with thrusters built into them. “ Now it’s time to battle. First, my Dragonfly will attack you directly. Dragonfly rocketed into the air before locking on to Silver and then fired its crossbow at Silver which nailed him for a small amount of damage.

Silver Chance:3500
Marinette Dupain-Cheng:3500

“ Next my Centipede will attack Clearwing Fire Maiden. Centipede was ready to slice up Silver’s monster until he reacted to it.

“ Fire maiden’s effect now activates when she is targeted for an attack she bounces back to my hand to negate your attack and Special Summons Clearwing Light Maiden from either my Hand or Deck. Fire maiden suddenly glowed before being replaced by a girl with long blonde hair wearing a white dress wielding a gold and white sword also projecting a blade of light.

Clearwing Light Maiden
LV:4
ATK:2000

“ Not bad I set two cards facedown and end my turn,” Marinette said as two set cards appeared behind dragonfly and centipede.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Now that Silver knew what kind of deck Marinette used he was ready for it. “ First I summon Clearwing Fire Maiden in attack mode. Fire maiden returned and appeared next to Light Maiden.

Clearwing Fire Maiden
LV:3
ATK:1700

“ And just like before you take 500 points of damage. Marinette was suddenly burned again by Fire Maiden.

Silver Chance:3500
Marinette Dupain-Cheng:3000

“ Next I activate the Spell Synchro Soul Strike,” Silver said as a spell with an image of Stardust Dragon in spirit form flying towards a Timelord monster appeared. By sending a Synchro monster from my Extra Deck to my GY you take damage equal to half of that monster’s attack points so I’m sending my Clearwing Synchro Dragon to my GY. As soon as silver sent his ace monster to his GY Clearwing Synchro Dragon appeared in spirit form. “ My Clearwing has 2500 attack points, half of that is 1250 so you will be taking 1250 points of damage. Clearwing flew at Marinette before turning into energy that blasted her.

Silver Chance:3500
Marinette Dupain-Cheng:1750

“ Now that the stage is set I tune my Level three Fire Maiden with my Level four Light Maiden to Synchro Summon the monster that will seal our victory. Fire Maiden ignited herself before bursting into three stars which turned into three green rings that encircled Light Maiden and turned her into four stars that fell into alignment.

LV4 + LV3 = LV7

“ Mighty warrior that sets the world on fire takes form and unleash all of your magnificent power on my foes! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level Seven! Clearwing Paladin! Clearwing Paladin landed gracefully onto the field before raising her sword upward and swinging it.

Clearwing Paladin
LV:7
ATK:2800

“ Cool monster, too bad she won’t be of much help I activate my Trap Ant Queen’s Command,” Marinette said as a Trap with an image of a queen ant ordering her guards to attack a giant that was standing over the anthill flipped face up. When you Special Summon a Monster that monster loses 800 attack points for every Face-up Insect-Type Monster I control so with two of them your Paladin loses 1600 attack points. Suddenly Clearwing Paladin was screaming in pain as thousands of little fire ants bit her.

2800 - 1600 = 1200

“ Not bad but I also have a couple of surprises for you. “ First Since I used Fire maiden as Synchro Material for a Clearwing Synchro Monster I can destroy one Spell or Trap you control so I will destroy Giga Mantis. The big blades on Centipede suddenly caught fire before vanishing.

2400 - 800 = 1600

“ And next up is my Light Maiden. Since she was used as synchro material for a Clearwing synchro Monster, that monster gains 1000 attack points. Paladin powered up while recovering from the ant bites.

1200 + 1000 = 2200

“ And I assume there is more?” Marinette asked.

“ Good call, a lot more. Once per turn my Paladin equips a Clearwing Synchro Monster that is in my GY and gains that monster’s attack points and effects so Clearwing Synchro Dragon will be equipped to my Paladin. Paladin suddenly began to glow while a pair of wings formed on her back while she powered up.

2200 + 2500 = 4700

“ Now it’s time to battle. Clearwing Paladin attacks Inzektor Dragonfly with Genesis Sabre. Paladin unleashed her many blades until Marinette reacted.

“ I figured you would try and end this. I activate the Trap Wonder Xyz this allows me to Xyz Summon during the Battle Phase so I overlay my Dragonfly and centipede in order to build the overlay network. Both Dragonfly and Centipede turned into streams of purple energy before entering a galaxy-like portal and exploding.

“ From the Realm of darkness, I summon forth the strongest insect that wears the strongest armor to defend me in this fight! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank Three Inzektor Shield Beetle! A big guy wearing Silver armor that resembled a Hercules beetle carrying a massive shield appeared before hiding behind his shield.

Inzektor Shield Beetle
RANK:3
DEF:3000
UNITS:2

“ Nice try but your beetle is still too weak to stop my attack,” Silver pointed out while his Paladin continued her attack.

“ Guess again. My Shield Beetel gains 1000 defense points for every overlay unit he has so since he has two he gains 2000 defense points which adds up to 5000 which is enough to block your attack.

3000 + 2000 = 5000

Paladin bashed her sword against Shield Beetle’s shield which resulted in a loud noise that not only repelled Paladin but also caused a small amount of damage to Silver.

Silver Chance:3200
Marinette Dupain-Cheng:1750

“ Clever move but I’m not done yet Since my Paladin failed to destroy your monster in battle I can Special Summon the Tuner Monster Clearwing Shiba in attack mode. A Shiba Inu wearing white and green armor with a little sword in its mouth appeared next to Clearwing Paladin.

Clearwing Shiba
LV:1
ATK:500

“ When my Shiba is Special Summoned I can use him to Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase. So I tune my level one Shiba with my level Seven Paladin to Synchro Summon your demise. Shiba leaped into the air before turning into a single star and then a single green ring that encircled Paladin and turned her into seven stars that fell into alignment.

LV7 + LV1 = LV8

“ Oh, mighty dragon that shines brighter than the sun evolves and shine brighter with wings made of crystal and power! Synchro Summon! Evolve! Level Eight! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!

Crystal wing flew above the track before landing next to Silver.

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ Impressive monster but this one is also not strong enough to break my defense,” Marinette said.

" Not yet it’s not because When Clearwing Shiba is used as Synchro Material I can draw one card and if it's a Clearwing Monster I send it to my GY and the monster that was Synchro Summoned gains attack points equal to that of the discarded monster until the End Phase of this turn. Silver closed his eyes and put everything into this draw. Silver swiftly drew his card and after seeing what it was smiled. “ Just what I needed. I drew the Monster Clearwing Chaos Bringer which has 2400 attack points. As soon as Silver discarded his card the spirit of a big strong man with a massive sword wearing white garb appeared behind Crystalwing before powering it up.

3000 + 2400 = 5400

“ Now it's time to continue my assault. Crystal Wing attack Shield Beetle with Crystal Edge Gale. Crystal wing charged at Shield Beetle only for Marinette not to look the least bit worried.

“ My beetle is not going anywhere because when he is about to be destroyed by battle I can detach one overlay unit to negate his destruction. Shield Beetle absorbed one of his Overlay Units into himself to fend off crystal wing’s attack.

2 - 1 = 1

5000 - 1000 = 4000

Not bad. I end my turn by setting two cards face down,” Silver said as two set cards appeared behind Crystalwing.

5400 - 2400 = 3000

“ My turn I draw,” Marinette said as she drew her second card. Marinette looked displeased with her draw since she did not have anything that could help her now. She noticed a clutch action card coming up and accelerated for it. Silver also saw the card and accelerated. The two of them were neck and neck but in the end, Marinette managed to grab the card and activated it. “ I activate the Action Spell Hand Recharge that allows me to send all the cards in my hand back to my deck, shuffle them and draw five new cards. Marinette drew her cards and smiled after seeing she drew just what she needed. “ Next I activate the Spell Rank Up Magic Miraculous Force that allows me to Rank up my Shield Beetle into an Insect-Type Xyz monster that is twice the rank of my Shield Beetle so I rebuild the overlay network with my Rank three shield Beetle. Shield Beetle turned into a stream of purple energy before entering a galaxy-like portal and exploding.

“ Beetle with the strongest armor evolve into a valiant knight with armor of gold! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Rise Up! Rank Six! Inzektor Exa-beetle! A big beetle-like monster with golden armor and a mighty lance of the same color appeared and brandished said lance at Crystalwing.

Inzektor Exa-Beetle
RANK:6
ATK:1000
UNITS:3

“ Almost forgot, Miraculous Force along with the targeted monster’s overlay units also attach to Exa-Beetle but that is not important. Exa-Beetle’s effect activates when he is Xyz Summoned I can equip one monster from either of our GYs and he gains half of that monster’s attack so I will equip the Giga Mantis in my GY which makes Exa-Beetle’s original attack points 2400 plus another 1200 for equipping him. Exa-Beetle now had Giga Mantis’s blades equipped.

1000 = 2400 + 1200 = 3600

“ Next I activate the Equip Spell Inzektor Shield - Zektaigis and equip it onto Exa-Beetle. Exa-Beetle now had a black and gold shield to go with his lance. “ While this card is equipped to a monster that monster’s effects cannot be negated nor can the equipped monster be destroyed by card effects. Silver looked a bit displeased with Marinette figuring out his strategy so soon. “ Now it’s time I showed you what exa-Beetle can do by detaching one overlay unit I send one of my Face-up cards along with one of yours to the GY so I’m sending both Zektaigis and crystal Wing to the GY. Exa-Beetle absorbed one of his Overlay Units into the lance in his left hand before stabbing it into the ground creating a shockwave.

3 - 1 = 2

The shockwave destroyed the shield and was about to destroy Crystal Wing until Silver reacted.

“ I activate the Trap Interdimensional Matter Transporter, This allows me to banish my Crystal wing until the End Phase. A futuristic device appeared and zapped Crystal Wing off the field.

“ No matter. My real plan succeeded. When Zektaigis is sent to my GY it allows me to add a Level four or Lower Inzektor Monster from my deck to my hand so I will add Inzektor Ladybug to my hand. After adding her card to her hand Marinette pulled another card from her hand. “ Next I activate the Spell Six Star Return this allows me to Special Summon up to two monsters from my GY as long as their combined levels equal six so welcome back Inzektor Dragonfly and Centipede. Both of Marinette’s monsters returned and looked ready to go.

Inzektor Dragonfly
LV:3
ATK:1000

Inzektor Centipede
LV:3
ATK:1600

“ I use Dragonfly’s effect to equip Ladybug to himself then send Ladybug to the GY to increase dragonfly’s level by two. Dragonfly began to power up.

3 + 2 = 5

“ Dragonfly’s effect Special Summons Inzektor Hopper from the deck. A man wearing armor that resembled a grasshopper wielding a long blade appeared next to Centipede.

Inzektor Hopper
LV:4
ATK:1700

“ Next I will use the same effect on my Centipede. Ladybug equipped on to Centipede before going back to the GY to power up Centipede.

3 + 2 = 5

Centipede’s effect adds Inzektor Sword Zektkaliber from my deck to my hand. After adding her declared card to her hand Marinette continued her turn. “ Next I use my Level five Dragonfly and Centipede in order to build the Overlay Network. Both dragonfly and centipede turned into streams of purple energy before entering a galaxy-like portal and exploded.

“ Mighty stag beetle of Silver takes form and unleash your fury on my foe! Xyz Summon! Rise! Rank Five! Inzektor Exa-Stag! A big silver stag beetle-like monster appeared and landed next to Exa-Beetle.

Inzektor Exa-Stag
RANK:5
ATK:800
UNITS:2

“ Next I activate Exa-Stag’s effect by detaching one overlay unit. I can equip a monster from either your field or GY onto Exa-Stag and gain half of that monster’s attack points and I think I will choose Clearwing Paladin. Exa-Stag absorbed one of his units into his claw before sending it into a portal.

2 - 1 = 1

Exa-stag yanked out Clearwing Paladin before absorbing and assimilating her to his body.

800 + 1400 = 2200

“ Now that my forces are gathered, time to battle. Exa-Beetle attack Silver Directly. Exa-beetle charged at silver and just when it looked like Silver was about to be struck by his lance he reacted.

“ I’m not out yet. I activate the Continuous Trap Synchro Gravity Zone,” Silver said as a trap with an image of Gravity Warrior using his powers on an entire crater flipped face up and not only crushed Exa-Beetle under the heavy gravity but the rest of Marinette’s monsters as well. “ As long as this card is in play only Synchro monsters are allowed to attack any other kind will just be pinned down.

“ You got me. Nothing more I can do so I end my turn,” Marinette said.

“ And during the End Phase, Crystal Wing comes back,” Silver mentioned as Crystal Wing reappeared.

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver enjoyed this match and drew the perfect card to end the match. “ Marinette this duel has been very fun and you managed to keep me on my toes but like all good things, it's time to end this. I activate the Spell Raigeki which destroys all your monsters. Suddenly a bolt of Lightning cleared away all of Marinette's monsters along with their equip cards. “ I will enter my Battle Phase and have Crystal Wing attack you Directly. Crystal Wing charged at Marinette who smiled despite losing all her Life Points.

Silver Chance:3200
Marinette Dupain-Cheng:0

WINNER: Silver Chance

“ And that’s it folks after such an intense match the winners are our own Team Silverwing,” The MC Shouted as Silver took his victory lap. As soon as Silver and Marinette returned to the stadium they all shook and a great duel.

“ So where are you off to next?” Silver asked.

“ We are going back to Paris since we no longer have any reason to stay here,” Adrian said.

“ You're welcome to stay with us at my mansion for the night,” Silver offered.

“ Really thank you, Silver,” Marinette said.

“ Think nothing of it,” Silver said. And so after everything was packed up both teams went to Silver’s place for the night.

At Last We Meet Team Demise

Team Silverwing was now in Africa competing in the second semi-final match against Team Savannah. The first match was between Team Demise and Team Yak from Norway which ended with Team Demise’s victory. As for the current duel, both sides were down to their final duelists and Silver had Buster Blader out while the other guy had no monsters or set cards along with no cards in his hand.

“ Buster Blader attack Kwame directly and end this duel. Buster Blader delivered a powerful blow that reduced Kwame’s life to zero.

Silver Chance: 2200
Kwame:0
WINNER:Silver Chance

“ And there you have it folks joining Team demise in the Final Round is Team Silverwing,” The announcer said. As soon as the match ended Team Savannah wished Silver and his team the best of luck in the final round before they left. On their way back to the hotel Silver and the others run into a familiar face they met in Japan.

“ I've been waiting for you Silver chance,” Yuji said.

“ Yuji? “ What are you doing here?” Lyra asked.

“ I've been following you guys throughout the tournament while collecting the remaining numbers,” Yuji said.

“ Any luck on finding your friend Nova?” Silver asked.

“ Actually the last number I found gave me the exact location Nova is being held,” Yuji said while showing them the number which was Number 68 Sanaphond The Sky Prison.

“ That’s awesome where is he being held?” Lightning asked.

“ Inside the dungeon of King Vinca the third’s castle which is all the way in the Tatra mountain range in Slovakia,” Yuji said.

“ Please tell us you don’t plan to storm that castle by yourself,” Lyra pleaded.

“ Yeah the mountains can be very dangerous to climb since the air gets thinner the higher up you go not to mention colder,” Silver pointed out.

“ Who said anything about climbing,” Yuji said before a giant airship with gears and wires appeared.

“ What is that?” Silver asked before a man with black and red hair wearing an explorer's outfit along with a woman with green hair and yellow eyes wearing a light blue dress with matching heels and a sunhat came out.

“ This is the Different Dimension Airship which originally belonged to my friend Astral,” The man said, answering Silver’s question.

“ Dad you don’t have to mention that part,” Yuji said.

“ Well it's true,” Yuji’s dad said.

“ I’m guessing you two are Yuji’s parents?” Lyra asked.

“ Sure are, I’m Yuma Tsukumo,” Yuma said.

“ And I'm Tori Tsukumo,” Tori said.

“ Nice to meet you. I’m,” Silver said before Yuma interrupted him.

“ No need for introductions, we've been watching your duels from our Airship so we already know who you four are,” Yuma said.

“ Now that introductions are out of the way. What is your plan exactly?” Lightning asked, wanting to get back on topic.

“ We managed to collect 80 of the 100 number monsters thus far so we almost have all of them,” Yuji said.

“ I managed to collect 19 of them,” Silver said.

“ I know this might sound like a selfish thing to ask but would you mind handing them over?” Yuma asked.

“ Take them, it's better for them to be with a duelist who can handle their power which neither of us can do,” Silver said as he sent them flying out of his element and into Yuji’s key.

“ Thank you Silver, you have no idea what this means to us,” Yuma said.

“ So anyway what is your plan?” Lyra asked.

“ Simple while you four keep Team Demise busy I will save Nova while my dad looks for the final number which we have reason to believe lies somewhere in the Castle,” Yuji explained.

“ Then we shall see you in Slovakia,” Lightning said.

“ You know you can just ride with us. We have plenty of space for your runners and you guys,” Tori offered.

“ Thank you,” Ratchet said.

The next day in a stadium near the base of the Tatra mountain range both teams were gearing up for the final match. The Mc took his place in the announcer’s box before speaking.

“ Welcome everyone to the final match of the World Racing Grand Prix. This has been quite an eventful two months with many teams giving it their all and now we are down to our last two teams who worked so hard to get here so without further ado let's introduce them. First up from the European Union the team who were dominating the A block with just their first rider alone Team Demise,” the Mc shouted as all three members of Team Demise entered the stadium with the crowd erupting with cheers for them. “ And their opponents all the way from the United States Of America who were zipping through the A block Team Silverwing. As soon as Silver and his team entered the stadium the crowd did not applaud for them which by this point they were used to. As soon as introductions were out of the way both teams sent out their first duelists. “ Taking the first leg for Team Demise is Sterben Lariat and taking the first leg for Team Silverwing is Lyra Heartstrings. As soon as both duelists were lined up the MC activated the Speed World V Action Field which constructed a bunch of ramps and half-pipes which were just standard until a bunch of tunnels on the sides of the mountains opened up and connected to the main track turning this duel into a race around the mountains. Both duelists took off and despite Lyra’s best effort, Sterben rounded the corner first which earned him the first move. Both duelists drew their opening hands and began the duel.

DUEL
Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Sterben Lariat:4000

“ The first move is mine,” Sterben said before pulling a card from his hand. “ And to start I summon Death Dragon Soldier in attack mode. A black dragon with black armor and yellow eyes wielding a sword and shield and a lance on his back appeared out of the shadows and onto the field.

Death Dragon Soldier

ATK:1700

“ Next I activate the Spell Double Summon which allows me to Normal Summon another Death Dragon Soldier in attack mode. Another copy of Death Dragon Soldier appeared next to the first one.

“ Next I pay 500 Life points so I can Special Summon Skeleton Death Dragon from my hand. Sterben was covered in a black aura that made it look like it was hurting him but did not show it due to his level of toughness.

Lyra Heartstrings:4000
Sterben Lariat:3500

After paying his points and ending up with what looked like a small scar going down the left side of his face a smaller skeleton version of Soldier appeared on the field.

LV:3
ATK:800

“ Now the stage is set for my greatest monster,” Sterben said, which did not go so well for Lyra since it was still turn one and she already felt like she was screwed. “ This monster cannot be Normal Summoned or Set but by destroying three Death Dragon Monsters on my field I can Special Summon it so meet my ace Death Dragon Underworld Lord. all three of Sterben’s monsters exploded and out of the blast came a large black dragon overlord with spiky armor and two big swords on his back.

Death Dragon Underworld Lord
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ That’s quite the monster,” Lyra said.

“ You haven't seen anything yet and as much as I would love to unleash his power on you I can’t since this is turn one so I will end my turn here,” Sterben said.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her sixth card. Lyra was already in a bind with a 3000 attack point powerhouse staring her down and barely anything to help her out of this situation. Lyra began thinking since what she had to work with were a few of her high-level monsters and no way to summon them. After seeing she had a possible solution in her hand Lyra went for it. “ First I activate the Spell Trade In by discarding a Level Eight monster from my hand I can draw two cards so I discard my Mozarta. After discarding her card Lyra drew her two cards and even though none of them could help her with summoning a monster they did provide her with some defense. “ I set two cards face-down and end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Sterben said as he drew his card. Sterben was sure that one of Lyra’s set cards could turn things around if he attacked recklessly. First I activate the Spell Underworld Draw by banishing a DARK attribute monster from my GY I can draw two cards so I will banish Skeleton Death Dragon. After banishing his declared card Sterben drew two cards and looked pleased with his draw. “ Next I activate the Spell Illegal Contract With The Creator. This card destroys one monster on my field but in exchange, you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack points so say goodbye to my Underworld Lord and prepare to take a whopping 3000 points of damage. Underworld Lord suddenly exploded and sent a ton of spikes flying towards Lyra who went for one of her set cards.

“ I activate my Trap Souvenir Grenade when you use an effect that would inflict damage to me we both take that damage. Lyra suddenly chucked a Grenade which exploded and damaged both of them but Sterben was the one who looked much worse since all that damage left what looked like many huge gashes on his body which had Lyra very concerned.

Lyra Heartstrings:1000
Sterben Lariat:500

“ Are you feeling ok?” Lyra asked.

“ Never mind about me, you should be more concerned about yourself. Since my Underworld Lord left the field I can Special Summon two Level Four or lower Death Dragon Monsters from my GY with their effects negated so my two Soldiers come back. Both of Sterben’s monsters returned to the field in attack mode ready to end the match with a single strike.

Death Dragon Soldier x2
LV:4
ATK:1700

“ I figured you would try something like this. I activate the Trap Banishing Burn,” Lyra said as a Trap with an image of a warrior fading out of existence while burning flipped face up. “ When you Special Summon monsters with 1500 or more attack points this card not only banishes those monsters it also inflicts 400 points of damage for each monster banished by this effect. As both Death Dragon Soldiers burned out of existence the flames consumed Sterben and inflicted 800 points of damage which caused his runner to emit smoke.

Lyra Heartstrings:1000
Sterben Lariat:0
WINNER: Lyra Heartstrings

As soon as both duelists returned to the stadium Sterben returned to his Team’s pit to a slightly upset Lydia.

“ How could a meat shield like you fall so easily to some teenage girl?” Lydia shouted before swiping the armband and placing it on her arm.

“ I was not expecting someone to use such a dangerous Trap card like that so get off my back and stick to your screens lab geek,” Sterben said.

“ Enough both of you,” Their Leader said.

“ Sorry Vinca,” They both said in unison.

“ Now Lydia, it's your turn to finish what Sterben started so go out there and finish that girl off,” Vinca said before Lydia took off.

Meanwhile, with Yuji and his parents, they along with their friends from back home managed to take out most of the guards but still could not find the dungeon inside that huge Castle. Yuji was getting tired and leaned against one of the wall banners which had a secret switch behind it that opened a secret passage that had a stairway leading down. As soon as Yuji reached the bottom he found the dungeon which was unguarded thanks to all the chaos everyone created. Yuji checked the cells until he saw a blue energy person chained up by the only known material to bind beings from Astral World.

“ Yuji you finally found me,” Nova said with joy.

“ It wasn't easy,” Yuji said as he unlocked the cell and unchained Nova who collapsed from exhaustion. “ Easy Nova get back inside the key and rest up. Nova suddenly turned into pure energy and went inside the key to rest. Yuji was about to leave until he heard the sound of footsteps along with a gruff voice.

“ Ok, who left the Secret Passage open?” The voice yelled. Yuji scrambled for a place to hide and found a suit of armor to hide in.

“ And taking the second leg for Team demise is Lydia Haywood,” The Mc shouted as Lydia caught up to Lyra and drew her opening hand.

DUEL
Lyra Heartstrings:1000
Lydia Haywood:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Lydia said as she drew her sixth card. Lydia looked at her hand and was disappointed that she had some good monsters but could not summon them due to the conditions not being right. “ I set two cards face-down and end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Lyra said as she drew her fifth card. Lyra was pleased to see she drew exactly what she needed to get things rolling. “ First I activate the Continuous Spell Valhalla Hall Of the Fallen.

“ And let me guess you're going to use it to summon one of your high-level Fairy-Type monsters,” Lydia guessed using the data she gathered on Team Silverwing.

“ Correct,” Lyra said.

“ Well, I won’t let you. I reveal my Trap Cyber Egg, “Lydia said as a trap with an image of a bird egg made of metal flipped face up. “ This Trap summons a Cyber Egg Token to your side of the field in defense Mode. A metal egg with lines and circuits appeared on Lyra’s field.

Cyber Egg Token
LV:4
DEF:2000

“ I knew you would use that spell of yours since you have used that very card in 100% of your duels and I know in order to use its effect you must have no monsters on your field,” Lydia explained. “ Oh and a couple of things about that egg. You cannot Tribute or use it as synchro or Fusion Material and when it's destroyed by battle you take 1000 points of damage. Lyra looked upset that her strategy was stopped but continued her turn.

“ I set one card face-down and end my turn,” Lyra said as a set card appeared behind the egg on her field.

“ My turn I draw,” Lydia said as she drew her fifth card. Lydia was pleased she drew into the card she needed. “ First I activate the Spell Polymerization and use it to fuse the three Cyber dragons that are in my hand. Three dragons made of metal appeared before spinning in the fusion vortex.

“ Mighty dragons of the cyber Legacy combine into the ultimate weapon of power and destruction! Fusion Summon! Rise! Level ten! Cyber End Dragon!

A three-headed mechanical dragon appeared and unleashed a mighty roar that was three times as loud.

Cyber End Dragon
LV:10
ATK:4000

“ 4000 attack points?” Lyra said in shock.

“ That’s right and one thing you should know before you point out the obvious. Cyber End Dragon can inflict Piercing Damage,” Lydia pointed out. “ And just so you don’t pull anything I’m activating my set card which is the Quick-Play Spell Trident Blaze. I can only activate this card while I control Cyber End Dragon and it allows me to destroy up to three cards on the field so there goes your Valhalla and face-down. Cyber End Dragon blasted both Valhalla and Lyra’s set card which revealed to be Draining Shield. Now all Lyra had left was a useless egg that was going to destroy her as soon as it was destroyed. “ Now it's time to battle and even though the drawback to using Trident Blaze cuts the battle damage in half it's still enough to finish you. Cyber end Dragon attack that Cyber Egg Token with Super Strident Blaze. Cyber End dragon unleashed three powerful bursts of energy that were heading towards the egg. Lyra looked around for action cards and found one just in the nick of time and activated it.

“ I activate the Action Spell Phoenix Antidote which restores my Life Points by 1500. Lyra was covered in a green aura as her life points went up.

Lyra Heartstrings:2500
Lydia Haywood:4000

The blasts managed to destroy the egg and deal damage to Lyra.

Lyra Heartstrings:1500
Lydia Haywood:4000

“ And don’t forget you take another 1000 points of damage since that token was destroyed by battle. The egg sent another blast at Lyra which damaged her some more.

Lyra Heartstrings:500
Lydia Haywood:4000

Lydia moved into her Main Phase 2 and noticed another action card and grabbed it before smiling and activating it. “ Looks like this is the end. I activate the Action Spell Fire Gem which inflicts 600 points of damage to you. Lyra was nailed by a fireball that drained the rest of her Life Points and caused her runner to emit smoke.

Lyra Heartstrings:0
Lydia Haywood:4000
WINNER: Lydia Haywood

Lyra drove back to her team's pit and handed the baton to Lightning.

“ Sorry I could not beat her Lightning. These guys are tough,” Lyra said.

“ Don’t sweat it, you did your best,” Lightning said. “ Besides this way I can get back at that lady for what she did back in Las Pegasus. Lightning took off and Lyra sat down pinning all her hopes on Lightning.

Cybernetic Clash

“ And now taking the second leg for Team Silverwing is Lightning Dust,” The Mc announced as Lightning caught up to Lydia and drew her opening hand.

DUEL
Lightning Dust:4000
Lydia Haywood:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her sixth card. Lightning was feeling cautious due to the fact that Lydia has extensive research on her deck and possibly how to counter it. Lightning checked her hand and was disappointed since she had nothing that came even close to Cyber End Dragon’s 4000 attack points and going on the defensive would not save her either. “ I set three cards Face-Down and end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Lydia said as she drew her card. Lydia was about to continue until Lightning interrupted her.

“ During your Stand-By Phase, I activate the Continuous Trap Fiendish Chain this targets one face-up effect monster you control and not only can that monster not attack but its effects are also negated and I will target your Cyber End Dragon. A bunch of chains came out of the ground and then wrapped around Cyber End before pinning it down.

“ That won’t save you I activate the Spell Card Of Sanctity which means we draw until we both have six cards in our hand. Both Lydia and Lightning drew until their hands were at six cards and Lydia now had more options. “ Next I activate the Spell De-Fusion to defuse my Dragon and Special Summon the three Cyber Dragons that are in my GY. Cyber End Dragon split apart and turned back into the three monsters that were used to summon it while Lightning’s chain got destroyed.

Cyber Dragon x3
LV:5
ATK:2100

“ Next I will overlay two of my Cyber dragons in order to build the overlay network. Two of Lydia’s dragons turned into streams of yellow energy before entering a galaxy-like portal and exploding.

“ Mighty Dragon of the Cyber legacy evolve into a greater being and blast my foes to oblivion! Xyz Summon! Rise! Rank five! Cyber Dragon Nova!

A bigger and evolved version of Cyber Dragon with wings and red circuits and gold cables appeared and unleashed a loud screech.

Cyber Dragon Nova
RANK:5
ATK:2100
UNITS:2

“ Too bad it won’t be sticking around for long because I activate the Trap Xyz Bait & Switch when you summon an Xyz Monster this card sends your Xyz Monster to the GY and lets me Special Summon an Xyz Monster from my Extra Deck with the same Rank so good-bye Nova and Hello Raidrapter - Blaze Falcon. Nova was sucked into a portal that opened above and out of the portal came Raidraptor Blaze Falcon ready to fly.

Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon
RANK:5
ATK:1000
UNITS:0

“ I was hoping you would do that. Now Nova’s second effect activates. When Nova is sent to the GY by my opponent’s card effect I can Special Summon a Machine-type Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck so welcome back Cyber End Dragon. Cyber End Dragon reappeared next to Cyber Dragon and looked ready to go.

Cyber End Dragon
LV:10
ATK:4000

“ Now then let’s battle. Cyber End Dragon attack Blaze Falcon with Super Strident Blaze. Cyber End unleashed its signature attack on Blaze falcon. Lightning looked around for Action cards and as soon as they entered a tunnel Lightning spotted one on the ceiling and drove for it then grabbed it. After seeing what it was Lightning activated it quickly.

“ I activate the Action Spell Take Flight This raises Blaze Falcon’s attack by 600 when it’s the one being attacked. Blaze Falcon powered up as Lightning kept searching for Action cards and grabbed another one.

1000 + 600 = 1600

“ Next I activate the Action Spell Extreme Sword which gives my Falcon another 1000 attack points. Blaze Falcon powered up again while dodging another blaze.

1600 + 1000 = 2600

As soon as they both left the tunnel Lightning was out of hope and Blaze Falcon took the third shot and exploded along with some of Lightning’s Life Points.

Lightning Dust:2600
Lydia Haywood:4000

“ You may have destroyed my Blaze Falcon but I’m not out yet I activate the Quick-Play Spell Rank-Up-Magic Doom Double Force this brings back my Blaze Falcon and allows me to rank it up into an Xyz Monster that has twice the Rank of Blaze Falcon. Blaze falcon reappeared before turning into a stream of purple energy and entering a galaxy-like portal that exploded.

“ Mighty falcon forged from the flames of battle evolve now into the ultimate bird of prey and hunt my foes to no end! Rank Up Xyz Evolution! Take Flight! Rank ten! Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon!

Ultimate Falcon flew onto the field and was ready for action.

Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon
RANK:10
ATK:3500
UNITS:1

Lydia knew she could not handle Lightning’s Falcon with Cyber Dragon and entered her Main Phase 2. “ I set one card Face-down and end my turn,” Lydia said as a set card appeared behind her monsters.

“ And now Ultimate Falcon’s effect lowers all of your monster’s attack points by 1000 since it’s the End Phase. Ultimate Falcon unleashed a powerful force that weakened both Cyber End and Cyber Dragon.

4000 - 1000 = 3000

2100 - 1000 = 1100

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her seventh card. Before Lightning could continue Lydia interrupted her.

“ I reveal my Trap Attack Reflector Unit. This lets me tribute Cyber dragon and Special Summon Cyber Berrier Dragon from my Hand or Deck so I will summon it from my Deck. Cyber Dragon suddenly glowed before being replaced by a similar dragon but with a big round bit around its neck.

Cyber Berrier Dragon
LV:6
ATK:800

“ That won’t save you because I activate the Spell Raigeki which destroys all your monsters. Lydia spotted an action card coming up but so did Lightning. The two duelists raced for it and in the end, Lightning won the action card while both Cyber End and Cyber Berrier bit the dust.

“ It’s ok I can still win this I still have my Overload Fusion. When my turn comes I will Fusion Summon Cimeratech Overdragon and finish her off,” Lydia said in her mind hoping her calculations were still correct. Lightning suddenly played the action card she grabbed snapping Lydia out of her thoughts.

“ I activate the Action Spell Oversword which not only gives my Ultimate Falcon an extra 500 attack points. Its attack cannot be negated. Ultimate Falcon powered up.

3500 + 500 = 4000

“ This one is for all the people you messed with and trampled upon. Ultimate falcon attack Lydia Directly. Ultimate Falcon unleashed all of its fury on Lydia who was completely powerless to stop it which caused her to lose all of her Life Points and her runner to emit smoke.

Lightning Dust:2600
Lydia Haywood:0
WINNER: Lightning Dust

4000 - 500 = 3500

Lydia pulled into her team’s pit where Vinca was waiting.

“ Sorry I could not beat her Vinca. That Lightning Dust got the better of me,” Lydia said.

“ It’s fine just let me handle the rest,” Vinca said before taking off.

Meanwhile, inside the castle, Yuma found the Treasure Room and noticed a whole lot of gold and diamonds along with old Arisien currency that was worth nothing thanks to the unification of Arisia with the rest of Europe. But what Yuma was really after was the shining card that was in the far back on top of a hill with stairs on it. As soon as Yuma reached the top he saw that the card was Number 100 Numeron Dragon.

“ I knew they would keep the strongest number here instead of out in the wild,” Yuma said as he grabbed it and ran. Everyone met up in the foyer of the castle and returned to the Airship and retreated.

“ We finally got the numbers back,” Yuma said joyfully.

“ And I have my best friend back,” Yuji said.

“ So what now?” Tori asked.

“ We watch the final round and see who wins now that King Vinca has lost his leverage,” Yuma said.

“ And taking the Final Leg for Team Demise is Vinca Hanzalik,” The Mc shouted as Vinca caught up to Lightning and drew his opening hand.

DUEL
Lightning Dust:2600
Vinca Hanzalik:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Vinca said as he drew his sixth card. Vinca was in no mood to toy around with Lightning since she was not the one he wanted. “ I activate my own Raigeki which destroys your falcon. Ultimate Falcon was destroyed leaving Lightning defenseless. “ Next I activate another Spell called Card Destruction which forces both of us to discard our entire hand and draw the same number of cards. Vinca and Lightning discarded all their cards. Lightning drew six while Vinca drew four and then smiled wickedly. “ Since I discarded my Goldd, Sillva, and Beige their effects allow me to Special Summon them. A golden fiendish-looking creature along with a silver fiendish-looking creature and a fiend with a spear came out of a portal and onto the field.

Gold, Wu-lord of dark World
LV:5
ATK:2300

SIllva, Warlord Of Darkworld
LV:5
ATK:2300

Beige, Vanguard Of Dark World
LV:4
ATK:1600

“ Before I end this I activate the Field Spell The Gates To Dark World. A set of doors appeared before opening up and transforming the entire mountain into a world of darkness where there was no light at all. “ Now all my Fiend-Type monsters gain 300 attack and defense points. All three of Vinca’s monsters powered up.

2300 + 300 = 2600

2300 + 300 = 2600

1600 + 300 = 1900

“ Now to get you out of my sight. Goldd Attack Lightning directly. Goldd drew his sword and slashed Lightning causing a lot of damage which reduced Lightning’s Life Points to zero

Lightning Dust:0
Vinca Hanzalik:4000
WINNER: Vinca Hanzalik

Lightning drove to her team’s pit and passed the baton to Silver who was waiting for her.

“ I swear it’s like for some reason we bricked against these guys,” Lightning pointed out.

“ Just a coincidence nothing to worry about,” Silver said before taking off.

Meanwhile at the Silver Mansion Twilight and the others were watching the final match and looked worried since things have not been going well for Team Silverwing.

“ Do you think Silver can win this one?” Twilight asked.

“ This is Silver we are talking about if anyone can do it it’s him. He faced far tougher odds than this,” Sunset assured Twilight.

“ Well let’s hope so because he is entering the match with no help from his Teammates and three powerful monsters,” Rarity said.

“ Not to mention it looked like Lyra and Lightning bricked against these guys and only managed to win through luck,” Applejack pointed out.

“ Your right to worry but I still believe in them,” Fluttershy said.

“ Those three came this far and thought not just for themselves but for the sake of others too so if anyone deserves to win this it’s them,” Sunset said, remembering how Silver put his own life on the line to stop Team Skullcrush from hurting everyone.

“ I hope they win otherwise all my preparation would go to waste and there won’t be any reason to celebrate,” Pinkie said.

“ Relax Pinkie let’s just watch the match and hope for the best,” Rainbow said.

The Power Of Friendship

“ And now taking the final leg for Team Silverwing is Silver Chance,” The Mc shouted as silver caught up to Vinca and drew his opening hand.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Vinca Hanzalik:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver managed to draw a good hand and had a good idea of what to do first. “ First I summon Buster Whelp in attack mode. Buster Whelp appeared and tried to look intimidating.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ When my whelp is Normal Summoned I can add a Destruction Sword card from my Deck to my hand so I will add Sprite Buster Destruction Sword to my hand. After adding his card to his hand Silver continued his move. “ Next I activate the Spell One For One by discarding my Buster Blader I can Special Summon A level one monster from my hand or deck so from my Deck I Special Summon Glow-Up Bulb. Glow Up Bulb bloomed onto the field ready to go.

Glow-Up Bulb
LV:1
ATK:100

“ Next I activate my Whelp’s effect by tributing him I can special Summon my Buster Blader from my GY. Whelp vanished and then opened a portal where Buster Blader came out.

Buster Blader
LV:7
ATK:2600

“ Now I tune my Level one Glow-Up Bulb with my Level seven Buster Blader to Synchro Summon your destruction. Glow-Up Bulb turned into a single star and then a single green ring that encircled Buster Blader and turned him into seven stars that fell into alignment.

LV7 + LV1 = LV8

“ Mighty Dragon of the king take flight and burn my opponents to Ash! Synchro Summon! Rise! Level Eight! Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend! Scarlight flew onto the field ready for battle.

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ Next I activate Scarlight’s effect which destroys all Special Summoned Effect Monsters whose attack points are equal or less than Scarlight’s and then burns you for 500 points of damage for each monster destroyed by this effect. Scarlight slammed his palm on the ground and consumed all of Vinca’s monsters in magma which also burned him.

Silver Chance:4000
Vinca Hanzalik:2500

“ Now to end this Scarlight attack Vinca directly. Scarlight prepared to attack and then unleashed its power. Just when it looked like Vinca was finished he pulled a card from his hand.

“ I’m not going anywhere because when I am attacked Directly I can Special Summon Battle Fader to end the Battle Phase. Battle Fader appeared and rung its bell rendering the battle phase over.

Battle Fader
LV:1
DEF:0 + 300 = 300

“ I set two cards Face-down and end my turn,” Silver said as two set cards appeared behind Scarlight.

“ My turn I draw,” Vinca said as he drew his fourth card. Vinca was sure one of Silver’s set cards could be trouble for him and noticed he drew the exact cards he needed. “ First I activate the Spell Dark World Dealings this allows both of us to draw one card but we must also discard one card. Silver and Vinca both drew and card and then discarded a card. Vinca’s GY suddenly glowed. “ Now the effect of Ceruli, Guru Of Dark World activates. When he is discarded from my hand he is Special Summoned to your field in defense mode. A grey fiend with a staff and a blue cape appeared on Silver’s field before taking up a defensive stance.

Ceruli, Gura Of Dark World
LV:1
DEF:300 + 300 = 600

“ Why summon him to my field?” Silver asked.

“ Because when he is Special Summoned by the effect of a Dark World card the opponent is forced to discard one card from their hand,” Vinca explained.

“ But if he is on my field then that makes you,” Silver said before he was cut off.

“ His opponent which means I must discard a card which I will gladly do since I will be discarding my Reign-Beaux. As soon as Vinca discarded his card his GY glowed again. “ Now Reign-Beaux’s effect activates when he is discarded by my Opponent’s card effect he Special Summons himself from my GY. A portal opened and out of it came a tall grey fiend with wings and a golden scepter who looked at Silver with a look of hatred.

Reign-Beaux, Overlord Of Dark World
LV:7
ATK:2500 + 300 = 2800

“ When Reign-Beaux is Special Summoned this way I can either destroy all of your Monsters or your Spells and Traps. Vinca took a moment to think which would be more beneficial to him and then made his choice. “ As tempting as destroying your dragon would be I’m sure those set cards would be the bigger threat so I will destroy them. Reign-Beaux unleashed a wave of darkness that was about to destroy Silver’s back row until he reacted to it.

“ Before it gets destroyed I activate my Trap Prologue Of The Destruction Swordsman by sending Buster Blader along with a destruction sword card from my Deck to my GY I can Special Summon Buster Dragon from my Extra Deck so I discard my second Buster Blader and my Destruction Sword Memories Trap card to bring out Buster Dragon in Defense Mode. Buster Dragon appeared and took a defensive position on the field While silver’s other set card which revealed to be Negate Attack was destroyed.

Buster Dragon
LV:8
DEF:2800

“ Now all your Fiends turn into dragons thanks to my Buster Dragon’s effect which means they now lose their field power bonus. Both of Vinca’s monsters got weaker as they transformed into dragons.

2800 - 300 = 2500

300 - 300 = 0

“ Fine I end my turn with two cards face-down,” Vinca said as two set cards appeared behind his monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his third card. Silver now had everything he could need to set up his attack. “ Before we continue this match tell me why are you so intent on getting revenge on me? I have never done anything to you or your friends.

“ You want to know why? It’s because our great republic of Arisia was destroyed by our enemies using the very weapons your company sold to them twenty years ago,” Vinca said.

“ That was not my doing. that was my father’s doing and he regretted ever selling those nukes to those terrorists after he heard how many innocent people were killed by them,” Silver said.

“ Doesn’t matter who it is. you share that man’s name so you are just as responsible as he was,” Vinca said.

“ If you won’t listen to my words then maybe you will listen to my cards and speaking of cards I Activate the effect of Destruction Sword Memories from my GY by banishing this card I can Fusion Summon Buster Blader The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman by banishing the materials from my GY so I will fuse one of my Buster Bladers with Buster Whelp to do so. Silver removed his two cards which sent their spirit forms into a fusion vortex.

“ Witness as the mighty companion of the Hero combines with the hero who slays all that is evil and becomes one! Fusion Summon! Rise! Level Eight! Buster Blader The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman!

Silver’s evolved Buster Blader appeared and looked mighty powerful.

Buster Blader The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman
LV:8
ATK:2800 + 2000 = 4800

“ While my Dragon Destroy is in play not only are all of your Dragon-Type monsters forced into Defense Mode they can’t activate any of their effects either. Reign-Beaux was suddenly forced onto his knees.

Reign-Beaux, Overlord Of Dark World
LV:7
DEF:1800

“ Next I activate Buster Dragon’s effect to resurrect my Buster Blader. Buster Blader came out and readies his sword.

Buster Blader
LV:7
ATK:2600 + 1000 = 3600

“ Next I activate the Spell Tuner Swap this allows me to tribute the Ceruli you gave me to Special Summon a Tuner Monster from my Deck with the same level so goodbye Ceruli and hello Dragon Buster Destruction Sword. Ceruli suddenly got sucked into a portal and out of the portal came Dragon Buster.

Dragon Buster Destruction Sword
LV:1
ATK:400

“ and now I tune my Level one Dragon Buster with my Level Seven Buster Blader to Synchro Summon one of my old friends. Dragon Buster turned into a single star and then a single green ring that encircled Buster Blader and turned him into seven stars that fell into alignment.

LV7 + LV1 = LV8

"Darkness born from the void of nothingness -- claw your way to this mortal realm, and burn my opponent to ash! Synchro Summon! Appear! Level Eight! Void Ogre Dragon!”

Void Ogre Dragon appeared and unleashed a mighty roar.

Void Ogre Dragon
LV:8
ATK:3000

“ But I’m not finished yet Next by discarding a card from my hand I can Special Summon the Tuner Monster Friendly Dragon from my hand. A big lavender dragon with blue eyes and green scales appeared next to Buster Dragon.

Friendly Dragon
LV:6
DEF:2000

“ What can you possibly do with that? You can’t summon anything with it because you have a full front line,” Vinca pointed out.

“ Oh, there is something I can do. You see Friendly Dragon can use monsters on both sides of the field as Synchro Material when performing a Synchro Summon so I will tune my Level Six Friendly Dragon with your Level One Battle Fader to synchro Summon my ace. Friendly Dragon grabbed Battle Fader playfully before bursting into six stars that turned into six green rings that encircled Battle fader and turned it into a single star.

LV1 + LV6 = LV7

" The mighty dragon that speeds through the boundaries of time and space rise from the ashes and shine your wings brighter than the sun! Synchro Summon! Roar! Level 7! ClearWing Synchro Dragon!

Clearwing flew and then landed next To Buster Dragon which now completed Silver’s army of monsters.

Clearwing Synchro Dragon
LV:7
ATK:2500

4800 - 1000 = 3800

“ No way Silver just summoned all of his favorite monsters,” Lyra said.

“ Do you think they will be enough?” Ratchet asked.

“ let’s see Buster Dragon turned Reign-Beaux into a dragon, Dragon Destroyer forced him to cower in Defense Mode with its effects negated and can inflict piercing damage, Void Ogre can negate the activation of a Spell or Trap once per turn, Clearwing can negate the activation of a level five or higher monster’s effect and destroy it, And Scarlight will be able to swing for game, So I believe silver has this one locked up and finished,” Lyra pointed out.

“ Now to end this. Dragon Destroyer attack Reign-Beaux with Dragon Soul Slash. Dragon Destroyer was about to strike when Vinca acted quickly.

“ I activate my Trap Draining Shield which not only stops your attack but gives me Life Points equal to your monster’s attack points. Vinca was hoping Silver falls for his bluff since Lydia told him about these monsters.

“ Nice try but Void Ogre will negate that trap. Draining Sheild suddenly got consumed by black flames before being destroyed. Dragon Destroyer continued his attack and slashed Reign-Beaux which resulted in a ton of damage.

Silver Chance:4000
Vinca Hanzalik:500

3800 - 1000 = 2800

“ Next up my Scarlight will end this with one last attack. Scarlight charged in which Vinca was waiting for.

“ You fell right into my real Trap. An old classic called Mirror Force and I’m sure you know what this does,” Vinca said.

“ It destroys all my Attack Position Monsters when one of them declares an attack,” Silver said before Scarlight punched the barrier which shattered and destroyed everyone except for Buster Dragon. Silver suddenly lost hope.

“ I end my turn,” Silver said dejectedly as Buster Dragon exploded due to the effect of Prologue.

“ My turn I draw,” Vinca said as he drew his card. Vinca smiled after seeing what he drew. “ Looks like I’m going to end this I activate the Spell Dark Healer I draw a card and if it’s a DARK Attribute Monster I regain Life Points equal to its attack points. Vinca drew his card and smiled more after seeing what he drew. “ Looks like I drew Rainbow Dark Dragon which has 4000 attack points. Vinca was covered in a dark aura as his Life Points went up.

Silver Chance:4000
Vinca Hanzalik:4500

Silver and Vinca entered a tunnel and noticed two action cards up ahead. They each grabbed one and while Silver looked disappointed that he could not activate his yet due to timing while Vinca was glad about his.

“ I activate the action Spell Hand Recharge which allows me to return the only card in my hand to my Deck and draw five new cards. Vinca returned the only card in his hand back to the deck and drew five new cards which made him laugh wickedly some more. “ Looks like my luck keeps getting better I activate the Continuous Spell Extra Prohibition. A signboard appeared on vinca’s side of the field. “ Here’s how it works I declare one summoning method and neither of us is allowed to use that summoning method while this card is in play and since I know how much you love your Synchros I declare Synchro. Suddenly the board on vinca’s field displayed a forbidden sign with a synchro monster on it. “ Next I activate the Spell Dark World Fusion while I control no monsters on my field This card lets me banish Fusion Materials from my GY so I will Fuse the Reign-Beaux in my GY with the Grepha in my hand. Both of Vinca’s monsters vanished before being fused inside a vortex.

“ Mighty rulers of Dark World combine yourselves into an even mightier ruler and crush my foe! Fusion Summon! Rise Up! Level Ten! Turq, Tyrant Queen Of Dark World! A grew fiendish-looking woman with long blue hair and piercing red eyes wearing a sapphire dress with bones around her bodice wielding a scythe appeared before laughing evilly.

Turq, Tyrant Queen Of Dark World
LV:10
ATK:3500

“ Now let’s see how you like being on the edge of defeat. Turq attack Silver Directly with Agonising Slash. Turq raised her scythe before preparing to strike which Silver took advantage of.

“ I activate the Action Spell Evasion this allows me to negate your attack. Silver was sure he was safe until Vinca smiled.

“ Nice try but I activate Turq’s effect. By discarding a card from my hand I can negate the activation of a Spell or Trap. Evasion shattered and Silver took the full front of the scythe.

Silver Chance:500
Vinca Hanzalik:4500

“ I end my turn. Now what? You have no monsters, No cards in your hand, And no chance of winning,” Vinca said vindictively. Silver was beginning to lose hope after hearing those words.

“ He’s right I done everything I could, Summoned by best monsters, Is this really the end?” Silver said before he saw the Spirit of Twilight from Equestria appear before him.

“Are you giving up so easily?” Twilight asked.

“ What can I do I tried everything and now I am completely defenseless and have nothing,” Silver said.

“ You still have your Teammates and all the people who are rooting for you three,” Twilight said.

“ But they could not leave me with anything to use and I’m facing a monster with 3500 attack points with nothing to fight back with,” Silver said before Twilight used her magic to show Silver all of his past duels.

“ You’re right the odds are against you but that never stopped you before. You always pulled through not because of your cards but because you always thought for the people you cared about until the end,” Twilight said. Suddenly back in the pit Lyra and Lightning’s elements suddenly shattered and unleashed the magic trapped inside. The balls of magic suddenly combined and began absorbing a bunch of lights coming from all directions. As soon as it finished absorbing all the light it flew toward Silver and entered his element. Suddenly Silver saw all the people that were cheering him on and regained his nerve. As soon as Silver returned to reality he saw the top card of his deck glow along with the silhouette of a new monster.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver shouted with all his might as he drew his card creating a trail of rainbow light. Silver noticed that it was a new fusion card created from the magic of his element along with the spirits of those rooting for him. “ I activate the Spell Harmony Friendship Fusion this allows to Fusion Summon with monsters that are in my GY.

“ A nice attempt but useless by discarding a card from my hand I can negate your Spell card. Turq Tried to slash up the Spell card only for that card to break her Scythe which shocked Vinca.

“ Guess I forgot to mention when this is the only card in my hand while I control no monsters its activation cannot be negated. So watch as I fuse my Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer with my Buster Dragon, Clearwing Synchro Dragon, Void Ogre Dragon, And Scarlight Red Dragon Archfield to Fusion Summon a monster you have never seen before. Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer stood in the center of all four Dragons before they merged with his spirit and caused him to change.

“ Watch as the mightiest hero who slays all that hides in the shadows of evil fuse with the dragons he bonded with and illuminate the world with the Light of Justice and friendship! Fusion Summon! Ascend! Level Twelve! Buster Blader The Hero Of Friendship!

A bigger and more powerful version of Dragon Destroyer with light blue armor, white wings, and a massive black sword that shined with all seven colors of the rainbow stood ready to fight.

Buster Blader The Hero Of Friendship
LV:12
ATK:5000

“ Impressive monster but even with attack points like those I’m still going to survive and wipe you out next turn,” Vinca said.

“ Well let me tell you what my friend can do. First, he gains 2500 attack points for every Dragon-Type Synchro Monster I used to summon him so with four monsters that is a total of 10000 attack points. Buster Blader powered up as he grew bigger.

5000 + 10000 = 15000

“ 15000 attack points?” Vinca said in shock.

“ That’s right. Listen I get it, you lost everything when our weapons destroyed your home but that is no excuse to take it out on others. A building can be replaced, A country can be rebuilt, But human lives cannot be replaced. Look at everything you have. You have a big castle on top of a mountain range. You have two teammates who supported you till the very end. Don’t stay chained to the past look at what you have now and look to the future,” Silver said hoping to get through to Vinca.

“ Yes your right I still have my kingdom and my friends,” Vinca said before smiling with pure joy.

“ Now then let’s finish this duel. Buster Blader The Hero Of Friendship attack Turq, Tyrant Queen Of Dark World with Rainbow Harmony Slash. Buster Blader leaped into the air and pierced the dark clouds above creating a ray of light before coming down with a rainbow trail and driving his sword into Turq destroying her illuminating the sky with radiance as Vinca’s Life Points went down to zero.

Silver Chance:500
Vinca Hanzalik:0
WINNER: Silver Chance

“ And that is all she wrote ladies and gentlemen. After such an intense duel the winners and this year’s WRGP champions are Team Silverwing,” The Mc shouted as Team Silverwing’s logo appeared on all the screens. As soon as Silver returned to the pit his element shattered and the last of the equestrian magic inside dissipated which caused the final two cards it created to vanish in thin air.

“ Thanks for the save, Princess Twilight,” Silver said while pointing towards the sky which had a faint projection of Twilight trotting off while smiling as if her job was done.

“ That was incredible the way you summoned that powerhouse in the end,” Lightning said with excitement.

“ Well don’t get used to seeing him again because he was a one-time deal,” Silver said.

“ Do you think Princess Twilight will be mad that we lost the Elements?” Lyra asked.

“ Not at all in that final moment when I lost all hope she came to me and reminded me about how we got this far and to never lose sight of who I am. It was more like she was watching over us the entire time and when we won her mission was accomplished,” Silver said.

“ Hate to interrupt you guys but can you please report to center stage its time for the award ceremony,” One of the officials said. After accepting their awards and the WRGP Cup rachet took a few pictures and everyone returned home.

The next day Silver was studying for his College Entrance Exam with only one week of summer vacation left while looking at a picture of him and his friends together.

“ I’m going to miss all of you and I hope we meet again in the future,” Silver said to himself before getting back to work. Silver knew that even though he, Lyra, and Lightning would be taking different paths there bond would still exist. Silver decided to take a break and eat something before he forgets. As soon as he left his room his Clearwing Synchro Dragon gleamed as if something was about to happen further down the line.

Magician's Trickery

Last time on Yugioh EG Silver went through a horrifying duel with Juniper Montage and despite the creepy fiends and a giant camera that opposed him Silver demonstrated that the future is not set in stone and managed to win the duel and now faces the great and Powerful Trixie. Will Silver win this one or will this be the final act.

Trixie took her position and with a snap of her fingers, the spotlight shined onto her.

“ All right Ladies lets see if our new girl can take Trixie down,” Trixie said dramatically.

DUEL
Turquoise Dusk:4000
Trixie Lulamoon:4000

“ Trixie will start,” Trixie said as she pulled a card from her hand. To start things off Trixie Summons Berry Magician Girl in attack mode. A baby girl with fairy wings wearing a plum magician hat with a matching jumper and a light green onesie under it appeared and waved her wand.

Berry Magician Girl
LV:1
ATK:400

“ When Berry Magician Girl is Normal Summoned Trixie can add a Magician Girl Monster from her Deck to her Hand so Trixie will add Chocolate Magician Girl to her hand. Trixie added her card from her deck to her hand and then pulled another card from her hand.

“ Next Trixie will activate the Field Spell Secret Village of The Spellcasters good luck activating Spell Cards now since Trixie knows for a fact you don,t run any Spellcaster-Type monsters in that Deck of yours. The entire field was replaced with a forest with huts all over the place.

“ Great this is just what I need is it just too much to ask for someone to fight me without changing the Scenery first?” Silver asked irritated after seeing this strategy three times now.

“ Like that will make a difference Trixie sets two cards Face-down and ends her turn,” Trixie said as two set cards appeared behind her monster.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver was in a jam now thanks to Trixie’s Feild Spell due to the fact he had only one monster in his hand along with five Spell cards.

“ First I set a monster Face-Down,” Silver said as a set monster appeared on Silver’s field.

“ Anything else?” Trixie asked.

“ No I end my Turn,” Silver said dejectedly.

“ Trixie’s turn Trixie Draws,” Trixie said as she drew her third card. Trixie smiled evilly after seeing what she drew.

“ Time for Trixie to lock you down further with the Continuous Spell Forbidden Entry,” Trixie said as a Spell with an image of a man entering an Amazonian village only to be stopped by a woman appeared. Trixie declares one Monster Type and as long as this card is on the field you're not allowed to Normal or Special Summon any monsters of that type so Trixie declares Spellcaster just so you don,t try and break Trixie’s lockdown. Five magic circles appeared on Silver’s field specifically his monster zones and glowed green.

“ Next Trixie Summons Chocolate Magician Girl in attack mode. A white-skinned girl with long light green wearing a black skimpy magician’s outfit with pink trim appeared and spun her wand before pointing it at Silver.

Chocolate Magician Girl
LV:4
ATK:1600

“ Now Trixie activates Chocolate Magician Girl’s effect by discarding a Spellcaster-Type monster from Trixie’s hand Trixie can draw one card. Trixie discarded her card and drew one card from her deck.

“ Time to battle Chocolate Magician Girl attack that set monster. Chocolate Magician Girl fired a blast of black energy at Silver’s set monster causing it to flip face up revealing a man wearing a white robe with a cobalt cloak and projected a barrier.

Galaxy Wizard
LV:4
DEF:1800

“ You fell for my trap the monster you just attack is Galaxy Wizard which has more Defense Points than your monster so you take damage. The energy blast was deflected back at Chocolate Magician Girl and sent her flying a few feet.

Turquoise Dusk:4000
Trixie Lulamoon:3800

“ Also one more thing you should know Galaxy Wizard is a Spellcaster-Type Monster and since he was already on the field before you activated that spell of yours you can,t get rid of him. Trixie looked pissed after Silver outsmarted her.

“ Trixie ends her turn,” Trixie said reluctantly.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver was glad he drew something useful.

“ First I will use Galaxy Wizard’s effect to raise his level by four so now he is level eight. Galaxy Wizard raised his wand and cast a spell on himself increasing his level.

4 + 4 = 8

“ Next I activate the Spell Galaxy Expedition While I control a level five or higher Galaxy or Photon monster I can Special a level five or higher Galaxy or Photon Monster from my Deck in defense mode so I will summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon in defense mode. Galaxy-Eyes appeared and took a defensive stance.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
DEF:2500

“ Next I activate the Quick-Play Spell Photon Stream of Destruction while I control a Galaxy-Eyes monster this card allows me to target and banish one card on the field so say goodbye to your Secret Village. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon unleashed a blast of photon energy into the sky and caused it to rain down on the village causing it to vanish.

“ Next I activate another Spell called Galaxy Rewind If I used a Spell card containing the word Galaxy-Eyes in its text this turn I can add it back to my hand however I will take 1000 points of damage if I use the card I added with this effect so Photon Stream of Destruction returns to my hand. Silver added his card back to his hand and pulled it out ready to use it again.

“ Now if you don,t mind Trixie I will play my Photon Stream of Destruction again. As soon as Silver activated his card jolts of electricity hit him and he showed a painful expression.

Turquoise Dusk:3000
Trixie Lulamoon:3800

“ I may have felt intense pain from that but it is worth it to banish Forbidden Entry from your field. Trixie Spell card vanished along with the magic circles on Silver’s Field.

“ Now that I have broken your lock I summon another Galaxy Wizard in attack mode. Another wizard appeared and took his position next to Galaxy-Eyes.

Galaxy Wizard
LV:4
ATK:0

“ Ha, Trixie was hoping you would do that because Trixie activates the Trap Dark Renewal when you summon a monster Trixie can send it and one of her monsters to the GY to Special Summon a Dark Attribute Spellcaster-Type monster from her GY so Galaxy Wizard and Chocolate Magician Girl make some room for Dark Magician. A red coffin appeared and opened up sucking both monsters into it and caused the Dark Magician to leap onto the field.

Dark Magician
LV:7
ATK:2500

“ I activate the other effect of my Galaxy Wizard by tributing this card I can add a Galaxy card from my deck to my hand so with this effect I add Galaxy Zero to my hand. Silver added his card to his hand before continuing his turn.

“ I end my turn With one card face-down,” Silver said as a set card appeared on his field.

“ Trixie’s turn Trixie draws,” Trixie said as she drew her second card. Trixie smiled after what she drew.

“ Trixie equips Berry Magician Girl with the Equip Spell Decoy Wand Trixie can only equip this card to a level four or lower Spellcaster-Type Monster and while its Equipped not only does the equipped monster gain 500 attack points you can only attack that monster during battle,” Berry Magician Girls’s wand was replaced with a red wand with a heart-shaped ruby on the end of it.

400 + 500 = 900

“ Next Trixie activates another Equip Spell Axe of Fools and equips it onto your Galaxy-Eyes. Silver looked confused as to why Trixie would give his monster more attack points until he remembered the drawback to using that spell.

“ Your monster may gain 1000 attack points but its effects are negated so there will be no disappearing acts from you,” Trixie said as said ax appeared in Galaxy-Eye’s hand.

3000 + 1000 = 4000

“ With that Trixie ends her turn,” Trixie said.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Before Silver could do anything Trixie interrupted him.

“ Trixie activates the Trap Battle Mania this not only changes your Dragon to attack mode but forces it to attack this turn if able. Galaxy-Eyes switched battle modes and unleashed a mighty roar.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
ATK:4000

“ I have no idea what you are up to but if its a fight you want than brace yourself Galaxy-Eyes attack Berry Magician Girl with Photon Stream of Destruction. Galaxy-Eyes unleashed its attack only for Trixie to smile.

“ You fool you just triggered Berry Magician Girl’s effect when she is targeted for an attack I can change her battle mode and Special Summon a Magician Girl Monster from my Deck so from my Deck I special Summon Master Dark Magician Girl in attack mode. Berry Magician Girl took a defensive stance and opened a portal and out of the portal came Dark Magician Girl wearing a purple version of her original outfit along with her master’s staff.

Berry Magician Girl
LV:1
DEF:400

Master Dark Magician Girl
LV:7
ATK:2500 + 1000 = 3500

“ Master Dark Magician Girl gains 500 attack points for each Magician Girl Monster on the field and in either of our GYs so with one on my field and another in my GY that is 1000 attack points.

“ Even so my attack continues. Galaxy-Eyes continued its attack and blew Berry Magician Girl clean off the field.

“ I end my turn with one card face down,” Silver said as a set card appeared next to his other one.

“ Trixie's Turn Trixie Draws,” Trixie said as she drew her card. Trixie suddenly had a glowing red eleven mark appear on her left hand before she raised it.

“ First During Trixie’s Stand By Phase Axe of Fools deals 500 points of damage to you since your the one controlling it. Silver felt a shockwave hit him after Trixie said that.

Turquoise Dusk:2500
Trixie Lulamoon:3800

“ Now its time Trixie showed you her number Trixie overlays her Dark Magician and Master Dark Magician Girl to build the overlay network. Dark Magician and Master Dark Magician Girl turned into purple streams of energy then entered a galaxy like portal then exploded.

“ Mighty seer of the future bend those who see into your mighty pupil to your will and my side! Xyz Summon! Appear! Number 11 Big Eye!”

A silver spike with a yellow ring around it with a red eleven printed on it stabbed into the ground and floated off the ground before a big yellow eye with red sclera opened up and looked like it was staring into Silver’s soul.

Number 11 Big Eye
RANK:7
ATK:2600
UNITS:2

“ That is one of the creepiest monsters I ever saw,” Silver said.

“ If you think its looks are scary than Trixie knows your going to hate its effect which Trixie will activate now by Detaching one overlay unit Trixie gains control of a monster on your field. go, Temptation Glance. One of Big Eye’s overlay units went into its eye and began to mesmerize Galaxy-Eyes into switching to Trixie’s side of the field.

2 - 1 =1

“ Now that Trixie has your monster Trixie finds it very appropriate to use it to finish you Galaxy-Eyes why don,t you unleash all your fury on your friend. Galaxy-Eyes prepared to unleash its attack on Silver until Silver went for one of his set cards.

“ I activate the Trap Photon Rescue when my opponent attacks me directly I draw one card and reveal it and if it's a Photon Monster I can Special Summon it in attack mode and change the attack to that monster. Silver closed his eyes and focused his mind while drawing his card. After seeing what he drew he smiled.

“ Just what I needed your new target is Photon Caesar. Photon Caesar appeared in front of Silver ready to take the hit for him.

Photon Caesar
LV:8
ATK:2000

“ Either way you still take damage from the attack. Galaxy-Eyes continued until Silver went for his other set card.

“ I also activate the Trap Battle Simulation when our monsters battle not only are their attack points halved but neither of them is destroyed in battle. Both monsters were hit by a shockwave that cut their attack points in half.

4000/2 = 2000

2000/2 = 1000

Silver took the damage and managed to survive.

Turquoise Dusk:1500
Trixie Lulamoon:3800

“ Your lucky Big Eye can,t attack on the turn it uses its effect so Trixie ends her turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver needed a way to get his dragon back and saw he drew something that could help.

“ First I activate the Spell Card of Yggdrasil If I control a Light Attribute monster I draw two cards. Silver drew his two cards and was glad to see he drew his game-changer.

“ Next I Activate the Spell Destruction Draw by destroying a monster on the field I can draw two more cards and the monster I destroy is Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. After Galaxy-Eyes was dragged into the ground Silver drew his two cards.

“ Since I control a Photon Monster I can Summon Galaxy Knight without any tributes and when summoned this way I can special summon Galaxy-Eyes from my GY in defense mode. Galaxy Knight appeared and stabbed his sword into the ground and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon came back.

Galaxy Knight
LV:8
ATK:2800 - 1000 = 1800

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
LV:8
DEF:2500

“ Next I overlay my Level Eight Galaxy-Eyes, Galaxy Knight and Photon Caesar in order to build the overlay network. All three of Silver’s monsters turned into streams of yellow energy that entered a galaxy like portal and caused a pike to appear in Silver’s hand.

“Here comes a monster with more fury than ten black holes put together! Watch as he rips your hope to shreds! Xyz Summon! Roar! Rank Eight! Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!”

Neo Galaxy-Eyes appeared and unleashed a mighty roar.

Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
RANK:8
ATK:4500
UNITS:3

“ Since I used Galaxy-Eyes as material all face-up cards currently on the field have their effects negated. Neo Galaxy-Eyes unleashed a pink shockwave that shut down everything currently on the field except for itself.

“ Next I activate the Spell Different Dimension Overlay this card allows me to attach two banished cards to a face-up Xyz Monster on the field and I chose your Big Eye. A portal opened and two overlay units came out and attached themselves to Trixie’s monster.

1 + 2 = 3

“ I use Neo Galaxy-Eye’s effect by detaching one overlay unit he can absorb all of your monster’s overlay units and not only gain 500 attack points per unit but can also attack that many times this turn. After absorbing its unit Neo Galaxy-Eyes swallowed all of Big Eye’s overlay units and powered up.

3 - 1 = 2

3 - 3 = 0

4500 + 1500 = 6000

“ Before I battle I activate the Spell Galaxy Chain by banishing a Galaxy Monster from my GY your monster lose attack points equal to the banished monster’s attack or defense depending on which is higher so I banish Galaxy Wizard from my GY to have Big Eye lose 1800 attack points. A glowing chain appeared and weighed Big Eye down.

2600 - 1800 = 800

“ Time to finish this Neo Galaxy-Eyes Attack Big Eye with Ultimate Photon Stream of Destruction. Neo Galaxy-Eyes unleashed a mighty blast of pink energy and not only obliterated Big Eye but sent Trixie flying.

Turquoise Dusk:1500
Trixie Lulamoon:0
WINNER:Turquoise Dusk

Silver took Trixie’s number and Trixie woke up with no memory of what just happened.

“ Impressive work Ms.Turquoise but let's see how you handle a two on one match,” Cinch said as Lyra and Lightning took the field.

Silver sensed that something was wrong with Lyra.

“ Hope you're ready to be my newest plaything new girl cause when we win you will make a perfect doll for me,” Lyra said in a creepy tone.

Silver sensed that whatever numbers possessed Lyra took away the sweet and caring girl he fell in love with. Lightning, on the other hand, looked like she just wanted to break stuff.

“ Don,t think you can beat us so easily like the others cause when we are done you will be leaving this tower in a body bag,” Lightning said with her voice full of rage.

Tolling The Bell Of Destiny

“ And now taking the second leg for Team Silverwing is Lightning Dust,” The Mc said as Lightning caught up to Kagami. After drawing her opening hand the duel continued.

DUEL
LIghtning Dust:4000
Kagami Tsurugi:1800

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her sixth card. Lightning was at a disadvantage with Bladedge looming over her and just Mozarta to protect her. Lightning checked her hand and saw she had a potential way around Kagami’s field. “ First I activate the Spell Advance Draw by tributing Lyra’s Mozarta. I can draw two cards. As soon as Mozarta left the field Lightning drew her two cards and looked pleased with what she drew. “ Next since you’re the only one with a monster on your field I can Normal Summon Blackwing - Sirocco The Dawn from my hand without tributing a monster. Sirocco flew onto the field while screeching.

Blackwing - Sirocco The Dawn
LV:5
ATK:2000

“ And now that I control a face-up Blackwing Monster I can Special Summon these guys Blackwing - Gale The Whirlwind and Blackwing - Bora the Spear. Gale and Bora flew onto the field and flanked Sirocco on both sides.

Blackwing - Gale The Whirlwind
LV:3
ATK:1300

Blackwing - Bora The Spear
LV:4
ATK:1700

“ Next I activate the Spell Blackwing Storm Force,” Lightning said as a spell with an image of five Blackwing monsters generating a big tornado appeared. “ While I control at least one Blackwing Monster on my field this spell forces all your Spells and Traps to flip face-down. As soon as all of Kagami’s spells went face-down their influence on the field ended as determined by Skyscraper fading along with Elemental Berrier and Edge Enhancer.

3200 - 600 = 2600

“ Next since I control three Blackwing Monsters I can activate the Trap Delta Crow - Anti Reverse from my hand. This trap destroys all your set Spells and Traps. All of Kagami’s spells were destroyed. “ Now that the back row and field is cleared time for me to use Gale’s effect which cuts Bladedge’s attack and defense in half. Gale unleashed a massive tornado that managed to sweep up Bladedge and reduce his attack points by half.

2600 - 1300 = 1300

“ Next I set one card face-down and target my Bora with Sirocco’s effect. Sirocco’s effect allows me to target one of my Blackwing Monsters and increases that monster’s attack points by the combined total of the attack points of my other Blackwing Monsters until the end of the turn however only the targeted monster is allowed to attack this turn not that it matters since one attack is all I need. So get ready to witness what a monster with 5000 attack points can do. Sirocco and Gale generated ropes of light that wrapped around Bora and increased his attack points all the way to 5000.

1700 + 2000 + 1300 = 5000

“ Now it’s time to battle. Bora attack Bladedge with Black Spiral Bare. Bora wrapped his wings around himself as he pointed his lance forward and spun like a drill. As the attack was getting closer both Lightning and Kagami spotted two action cards up ahead and each grabbed one.

“ I activate the Action Spell Miracle which not only saves my Bladedge from destruction but also halves the battle damage. Kagami thought she survived until Lightning activated her action Card.

“ I activate the Action Spell No Action which negates the activation of your Action Card. Bora continued his attack and not only managed to drill right through Bladedge and caused him to explode he also inflicted a ton of damage to Kagami which reduced her Life Point to zero.

DUEL
LIghtning Dust:4000
Kagami Tsurugi:0
WINNER: Lightning Dust

Kagami returned to her team’s pit to pass the baton to Adrian who was waiting for her.

“ Sorry I could not defeat Lightning,” Kagami said as she passed her team’s armband to Adrian.

“ Don’t worry about it you did your best out there,” Adrian said before taking off. As soon as Adrian left the pit Kagami looked ashamed of herself

“ How could I lose to such of low-level tactic?” Kagami said while punching the ground in frustration.

“ Don’t beat yourself up Kagami neither of us could have known anything about these three,” Marinette said.

“ Still how could I lose to something like that. There was nothing special about those three monsters of hers,” Kagami said.

“ Maybe not but remember every card has a purpose and just like Ladybug it’s our job to figure out what that purpose is,” Marinette said which cheered Kagami up a little.

“ And Taking the second leg for team Miraculous is Adrian Agreste,” The Mc shouted as Adrian arrived on the track. After catching up to Lightning and drawing his opening hand the duel picked up again.

DUEL
LIghtning Dust:4000
Adrian Agreste:4000

“ My turn I draw,” Adrian said as he drew his sixth card. Adrian checked his hand and noticed he did not draw anything that could save him now but knew he had an excellent way to set the stage for his comeback. “ First I discard my Destiny Hero - Dread Architect to activate his effect which allows me to add the Field Spell Clock Tower Prison from my Deck to my hand. After adding his declared card to his hand Adrian wasted no time in using it. “ Now I activate the Field Spell Clock Tower Prison. The entire city transformed into an exact copy of London complete with a huge clock tower in the center.

“ Big Ben? Seriously,” Lightning said, not impressed.

“ I can assure you this is no ordinary Clock Tower once the time is right you shall see what it can do,” Adrian said before continuing his move. “ Next I Activate the Spell Destiny Draw by discarding my Disk Commander. I can draw two cards. After drawing his two cards Adrian looked pleased with them. '' Next, I summon Destiny Hero Drilldark in attack mode. Drilldark boar it's way out of the ground before appearing in front of Adrian.

Destiny Hero - Drilldark
LV:4
ATK:1600

“ When Drilldark is Normal or Special Summoned he allows me to Special Summon another Destiny hero from my hand as long as that monster has equal or fewer attack points than Drilldark so come on out Destiny hero Drawhand. A man wearing a white suit with a grey fedora and torn purple scarf appeared next to Drilldark before adjusting his hat with his finger.

Destiny Hero - Drawhand
LV:4
ATK:1600

“ When Drawhand is Special Summoned by the effect of a Hero monster we both get to draw a card. Both Adrian and Lightning drew a card before Adrian pulled two other cards from his hand. “ Finally I set two cards Face-down and end my turn.

“ My turn I draw,” Lightning said as she drew her third card. As soon as Lightning drew she saw the hands on the clock tower move before stopping at three o’clock and rang a bell.

“ During your Stand-By Phase Clock Tower Prison gains a clock counter which winds my clock tower by a total of three hours,” Adrian explained.

Clock Counters: 1

“ Moving on with my turn, Since I control at least one Blackwing monster I can Normal Summon Blackwing - Elphin The Raven without tributing another monster. A big raven-like creature appeared and unleashed a loud screech.

Blackwing - Elphin The Raven
LV:6
ATK:2200

“ And now Elphin’s effect kicks in when Elphin is Normal Summoned he forces one of your monsters to change battle positions so your Drilldark now goes into defense Mode. Elphin unleashed a loud screech which forced Drilldark into Defense Mode.

Destiny Hero - Drilldark
LV:4
DEF:1200

“ I activate the Trap D - Fusion. This allows me to Fusion Summon using the two monsters on my field. Both of Adrian’s monsters were sucked into a fusion Vortex.

“ Mighty hero that pierces the darkness with his drill joins forces with the hero of fate and becomes one! Fusion Summon! Appear! Level eight! Destiny Hero - Dystopia! Dystopia appeared and punched his fist forward.

Destiny Hero - Dystopia
LV:8
ATK:2800

“ When dystopia is Special summoned I can inflict damage equal to one of the fusion materials in my GY so take Drilldark’s 1600 attack points. Dystopia nailed Lightning with a blast that damaged her.

LIghtning Dust:2400
Adrian Agreste:4000

“ That won’t matter once I use my Sirocco’s effect to power up my Elphin. Sirocco and the other Blackwings powered up Elphin all the way to 7200 attack points.

2200 + 1300 + 1700 + 2000 = 7200

“ In response to that, I activate the Trap D- Chain. This card equips onto a Destiny Hero Monster I control and raises that monster’s attack points by 500. Dystopia’s attack points were raised as a chain with a blade on the end of it wrapped around his arm.

2800 + 500 = 3300

“ And since Destopia’s attack points changed his other effect activates which allows me to destroy one of your monsters so say good-bye to your Elphin The Raven. Dystopia used his squeeze palm ability to suck up Elphin the Raven and clutch his hand into a fist. “ You mentioned earlier that when Sirocco uses his effect only the targeted monster is allowed to attack this turn well now that the targeted monster is gone you can’t attack this turn.

3300 - 500 = 2800

“ I set one card face-down and end my turn,” Lightning said as a set card appeared next to her other one.

“ My turn I draw,” Adrian said as he drew his card. Adrian was cautious of Lightning’s back row and currently had no way to deal with it. Both Lightning and Adrian noticed the next action card coming up ahead and raced for it. As Adrian reached for it so did Dystopia who managed to grab it before tossing it to Adrian who caught it. Adrian looked pleased with it since this particular action card opened up more paths for him. “ I activate the Action Spell Hand Recharge this allows me to return my current hand to my deck.

“ And then you get to draw five new cards. I know how that card works,” Lightning said acting like she has seen Hand Recharge a hundred times already. After Adrian drew his new hand he saw his strategy manifest before him only for Lightning to interrupt him. “ I activate the Trap Fatal Blackjack, This deals you 400 points of damage for every card in your hand, and with five that is a total of 2000 points of damage. Adrian’s cards glowed black before shocking him.

LIghtning Dust:2400
Adrian Agreste:2000

“ Fine with me but that won’t stop me from winning so First I activate the Quick-Play Spell Trap Booster by discarding a card from my hand I can activate a Trap from my hand so I will discard this and Activate the Trap Eternal Dread which adds another two clock counters to Clock Tower Prison. The hands of the clock tower moved another six hours stopping at nine o-clock before another bell rang.

Clock Counters: 3

“ Next I summon Destiny Hero - Dread Servant in attack mode. A warrior with silver armor and a cape wielding a shield and pike appeared next to dystopia.

Destiny Hero - Dread Servant
LV:3
ATK:400

“ When Dread servant is Normal Summoned he adds one Clock Counter to Clock Tower Prison. The hands of the Clock Tower wound again with both hands pointing to twelve o-clock causing the bell to ring louder than before.

Clock Counter: 4

“ Now that the stage is set, Time to battle. Dread Servant attack Bora the Spear.

“ Have you lost your mind? My Bora has more attack points than your servant,” Lightning said shocked as her Bora destroyed Dread Servant.

“ On the contrary I wanted you to destroy my monster so I can use his other effect. When Dread Servant is destroyed by battle I can destroy one spell or Trap I control,” Adrian said.

“ But you still should have taken damage,” Lightning pointed out.

“ When Clock Tower Prison has four or more Clock Counters on it I don’t take any battle damage and on the subject of my Clock Tower, I use Dread Servant’s effect to destroy it. Clock Tower Prison began to crumble and along with the rest of the city as the track returned to normal.

“ But why destroy your own card?” She asked.

“ So I can Special Summon one of my greatest monsters,” He explained. “ You see when Clock tower Prison is destroyed after accumulating four or more Clock Counters I can Special summon Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster from my Hand or Deck. Suddenly a big pile of muscles with long black hair wearing chains and ripped purple pants and a metal mask appeared and looked at Lightning intimidatingly.

Destiny Hero- Dreadmaster
LV:8
ATK:?

“ When my Dreadmaster is Special Summoned this way he Specials Summons up to two Destiny Hero monsters from my GY, so welcome back Drilldark and Disk Commander. Drilldark along with a man who was made of disks came out ready to fight.

Destiny Hero - Drill Dark
LV:4
ATK:1600

Destiny Hero - Disk Commander
LV:1
ATK:300

“ When Disk commander is Special Summoned from the GY I can draw two cards. Adrian drew his two cards and then moved on to Dreadmaster. “ Now for the vital part, Dreadmaster’s attack and Defense points are equal to the combined total of my other Destiny Hero’s attack points. Dreadmaster began to power up.

2800 + 300 + 1600 = 4700

“ Dreadmaster attacks Gale with Predator Of Dread Lord. Dreadmaster charged at Gale ready to punch her into submission until Lighting went for her set card.

“ I activate my Trap Dimensional Prison when you attack with a monster that monster is banished. Suddenly Dreadmaster was sucked up by a hole in the fabric of the universe.

“ No matter, I will have Dystopia attack Gale with Dystopia blow. Dystopia unleashed a blast of energy which did not faze Lightning at all.

“ That won’t work either because by Discarding Blackwing - Kurasu the Black Fog all of our monsters are banished and we both take 500 points of damage for each monster that was banished, so with six monsters that’s 3000 points of damage. A black fog rolled in and all monsters on the field vanished before both Lightning and Adrian’s runners emitted smoke.

LIghtning Dust:0
Adrien Agreste:0
DRAW

Both Lightning and Adrian returned to the stadium to pass the baton to their leaders.

“ It’s all up to you now Silver,” Lightning said as she handed the baton to Silver before he took off.

“ Win this one for us Marinette,” Adrian said.

“ You can count on me,” Marinette said before taking off.

Cold Injustice

A rocket suddenly burst out of the Earth's atmosphere and exploded. The explosion was seen by everyone on the Earth but what was most noticeable were the clusters of light coming out of the explosion.

Meanwhile inside the living room of the Silver Mansion Lightning and Lyra were relaxing on the couch watching The Kaiba Dome playoffs While Silver was busy in his room preparing his deck. Just as the final move was about to be made a news bulletin appeared.

“ Uh Silver you might want to see this,” Lightning said causing Silver to rush over.

“ A mysterious explosion appeared just moments ago we are not sure what it is yet but scientists have reason to believe that this may be some hostile threat as among the debris appeared to be a cluster of something raining down on every corner of the earth. We will bring you more coverage as soon as we learn more,” The reporter said before Silver turned off the TV.

“ Something tells me this is somehow connected to Team Demise,” Silver said.

“ Why do you say that?” Lyra asked.

“ Because just now Majesty Lord Buster started glowing as if another Number Monster appeared,” Silver replied.

Meanwhile, outside the Equine County Police Station, Shining Armor was enjoying his lunch break when a mysterious blank card lands on his table. Shining picks it up and suddenly felt a surge of power go through him.

“ Yes, Shining Armor let the number take hold,” An eerie voice said.

Suddenly Shining Armor began to look scary and merciless. As soon as Shing finished his lunch the chief told him about all the crimes that have been reported just now.

“ Time to administer some cold justice,” Shining said before setting off.

Hours later Silver and his team were going over their plans for the WRGP until Shining Armor charges in and pull out an arrest warrant.

“ Silver Chance you are under arrest for possession of an illegal card,” Shining shouted.

“ And what card would that be?” Silver asked.

“ Why Chaos Emperor Dragon obviously,” Shining said.

“ What are you talking about that card is legit,” Silver pointed out.

“ Since you want to fight then I will duel you for it if I win that card is mine and I get to throw you in prison,” Shining said.

“ I don't know what this is about but if its a duel you want then game on,” Silver said as he pulled out his duel disk.

DUEL
Silver Chance:4000
Shining Armor:4000

“ I will start,” Shining said. Shining looked over his hand and made his move.

“ First I summon Assault Dog in attack mode. A German shepherd with a gun pack leaped on to the field and unleashed a growl.

Assault Dog
LV:4
ATK:1200

“ With it on the field, I set two cards face-down and end my turn,” Shining said as two set cards appeared behind Assault Dog.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver was not intimidated in the slightest and proceeded to make his move.

“ First I summon Buster Whelp in attack mode. Buster Whelp appeared ready to fight.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ Now I activate my Whelp’s effect when he is Normal Summoned I can add a Destruction Sword card from my Deck to my Hand. Silver was about to search until Shining interrupted him.

“ Hold it Chance I discard my Ash Blossom to stop that effect. Shining discarded his card and the spirit of a child in a white dress appeared and phased through Buster Whelp thus stopping his search effect.

“ That's impossible no one has ever stopped that effect,” Silver said baffled.

“ Believe it, kid, we have everyone’s information on file and that includes dueling history and your file said you always open with that move and then draw out the exact weapon you need well not this time and to make sure of it I activate the Continuous Trap House Arrest,” Shining said as a trap with an image of a man wearing a tracking anklet flipped face up and then caused four pillars to erect on Silver’s Side of the field then form a laser grid around it.

“ What is the meaning of this laser grid?” Silver asked.

“ Don't you pay attention you are under house arrest so your monster can't be tributed, Banished, Destroyed, or used as material for anything for the next three turns,” Shining pointed out.

“ This is bad with that card in play Buster Whelp is just a chew toy for that mutt of his,” Lyra said.

“ Don't worry Lyra Silver has this I’m sure he has the answer to this problem already,” Lightning said.

“ Sorry to say this but I have nothing right now so I will just set three cards face-down and end my turn,” Silver said dejectedly.

“ Now it's my turn I draw,” shining said as he drew his third card. Shining looked happy with what he drew.

“ If you thought one Assualt Dog was scary wait till you see all three of them and to do so I activate the Spell Assault Dog Unit,” Shining said as a spell with an image of three Assualt Dogs cornering a robber appeared. While I control one Assualt Dog I can Special Summon two more from my Deck. Two more Assault Dogs leaped onto the field causing all three to howl simultaneously.

Assault Dog x2
LV:4
ATK:1200

“ Next I activate the Spell Level Climb,” Shining said as a spell with an image of Axe Raider gaining a level appeared. This allows me to raise the level of all my monsters by one so now my Dogs go from level four to level five. All three Assualt Dogs powered up while howling.

4 + 1 = 5 x3

“ Three-level five monsters, don't tell me he is going for his ace already?” A familiar voice said.

Lightning and Lyra looked behind them and noticed Twilight arrived and looked scared.

“ Twilight? When did you get here?” Lyra asked.

“ I have been worried about my brother lately so I been following him to find out what is going on with him,” Twilight explained.

“ Ok, but why do you look worried?” Lightning asked.

“ Because if Shining is summoning what I think he is then Silver is about to lose,” Twilight replied.

“ Now that the stage is set I overlay my three Level five Assualt Dogs to build the overlay network. All three Assualt Dogs turned into purple streams of energy which orbited each other before entering into a red portal and exploding.

“ Mighty dragon that embodies the three virtues of justice take flight and blast my foes with all your might! Xyz Summon! Rampage! Rank Five! Montage Dragon Xtreme!”

A blue three-headed dragon wearing black futuristic armor with blue circuit board patterns on it descended and unleashed a mighty roar.

Montage Dragon Xtreme
RANK:5
ATK:?
UNITS:3

“ Now for the best part Montage Dragon Xtreme’s attack points are 1500 times the number of Xyz Materials used so since I used three that's a total of 4500 points. Montage Dragon roared as it gained power.

0 + 4500 = 4500

“ Quick question why didn't Silver use his Whelp’s effect to Summon Buster Blader like he always does?” Twilight asked.

“ Because of that House Arrest Trap card Buster Whelp can't go anywhere so it's nothing more than a target right now,” Lyra said.

“ Time to end this Montage Dragon Xtreme attack Buster Whelp with Ultimate Power Collage. Montage Dragon unleashed three powerful blasts of energy and just when Shining thought he won Silver reacted.

“ I may not be able to remove my Whelp from the field but I can still do this Activate the Trap Perfect Guard when my monster is targeted by an attack I can change my monster to defense mode and prevent it from being destroyed by this battle. Buster Whelp took up a defensive stance and survived the blast.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
DEF:300

“ Grr, did you know montage Dragon Xtreme can attack multiple times for each overlay unit he has or is this just another one of your lucky breaks,” Shining said in an irritated voice.

“It's still your move anything else up your sleeve?” Silver said.

“ No I end my turn for now,” Shining said.

House Arrest:1

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his third card. Silver was up against the wall with Montage Dragon Xtreme in his way and no way to summon his big blades. Silver figured the best thing to do was to try and survive until house Arrest is gone.

“ First I summon Buster Trainee in Attack mode. Buster Trainee took his position and readied his sword.

Buster Trainee
LV:3
ATK:1600

“ Like that will save you that boy barely holds a candle to my monster,” Shining pointed out.

“ Maybe not but I can still do this Equip him with the Equip Spell Overclock Gauntlet this not only gives the equipped monster an extra 1000 attack points but it also reduces all battle damage I take to zero. Buster Trainee was equipped with a gold gauntlet with a clock built into it while its attack points went up.

1600 + 1000 + 600 = 3200

“ With that, I end my turn,” Silver said.

“ My turn I draw,” Shining said as he drew his second card. Shining was upset that he could not touch Silver until he saw he drew exactly what he needed.

“ Time to penetrate that wall of yours I activate the Spell Stop Defense this oldie forces your Whelp back into attack mode. Shining was sure he succeeded until Silver reacted.

“ I counter that with the Counter Trap Dark Bribe in exchange for letting you draw one card Stop Defense is negated. Shining drew his card and felt more upset that a slightly visible aura appeared around him that Silver recognized.

“ Great a number holder just when I thought things couldn't get any worse,” Silver said.

“ I have no choice but to end my turn,” Shining said.

House Arrest:2

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver felt like he was barely holding on and noticed he drew a possible game changer.

“ First I activate the Spell Pot of Hatred by milling my top five cards I can draw three cards. Silver milled his top five cards ( Twin Twisters, Dragonpulse Magician, Dragon Buster Destruction Sword, Buster Guardian, Wave Buster Destruction Sword) and then drew his three cards. Silver was managed to draw into both his big blades but still could not summon them.

“ I end my turn by setting one card face-down,” Silver said as a set card appeared behind his monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Shining said as he drew his third card. Shining smiled evilly after seeing what he drew.

“ You may be able to protect yourself from my monsters but let's see you dodge this the Spell Sonic Quake,” Shining said as a spell with an image of Goblins getting hit by sonic blasts appeared. This card inflicts 200 points of damage to you for each card on the field so with eight cards currently in play that 1800 points of damage. Shining’s card blasted Silver hard with a blast of purple energy.

Silver Chance:2200
Shining Armor:4000

“ Next I activate the Equip Spell Shoulder’s Pride and Equip it onto Buster Whelp now not only is your Whelp switched to attack mode it also can,t change battle modes so good luck dodging this. Buster Whelp changed back into attack mode and unleashed a mighty roar.

Buster Whelp
LV:1
ATK:400

“ Now that your Whelp is vulnerable time to Battle Montage attack Buster Whelp. The first strike was launched and Silver reacted.

“ I activate Buster Guardian’s effect from my GY when you declare an attack I can banish this card and negate that attack. A Shield suddenly appeared and then spun created a blue energy field.

“ You may have dodged one attack but remember Xtreme can attack three times and here comes attack number two. Xtreme unleashed its second attack which Silver also reacted to.

“ I activate the Trap Power Loan this card allows me to target one monster on my field and allows me to give that monsters attack points to another monster I control until the End Phase so Buster Trainee will be sharing his attack points with Buster Whelp. Trainee went behind Whelp and then filled it with all of his power.

400 + 3200 = 3600

“ Nice try but that's still not enough to beat my dragon,” Shining said mockingly.

“ I’m not trying to beat your Dragon I’m trying to live long enough to make my counter-attack,” Silver pointed out as Xtreme’s attack hit.

Silver Chance:1300
Shining Armor:4000

“ Now for attack number three. Xtreme unleashed its third attack and Silver just took it.

Silver Chance:400
Shining Armor:4000

“ With that, I end my turn and during the End Phase, House Arrest is destroyed.

House Arrest:3

The laser grid surrounding silver’s side of the field suddenly vanished and Silver smiled.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fourth card. Now that House Arrest was gone Silver could make his move.

“ First I activate my Whelp’s effect by Tributing it, I can Special Summon Buster Blader from my hand. Buster Whelp jumped into a portal and Buster Blader leaped out ready to fight.

Buster Blader
LV:7
ATK:2600 + 500 = 3100

“ Next I use Overclock Gauntlet's effect when Tribute Summoning a high-level monster I can treat the equipped monster as two tributes instead of one so I tribute my Buster Trainee to Summon Buster Dark. Buster Dark took his position next to Buster Blader.

Buster Dark
LV:7
ATK:2600

“ Next I activate the Spell Synchro Aura,” Silver said as a spell with an image of Stardust Dragon in spirit form appearing behind Junk Warrior appeared. By sending a Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck to the GY one of my monsters gains that synchro monster’s attack points until the End Phase so I will be sending Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend to my GY and give its 3000 attack points to Buster Blader. Buster Blader was suddenly covered in a red aura as it gained more power.

3100 + 3000 = 6100

“ Now to finally deal with that dragon of yours Buster Blader attack Montage Dragon Xtreme. Buster Blader charged at Xtreme until Shining went for his set card.

“ I activate the Trap Detainment,” Shining said as a trap with an image of a thief being pinned to the ground flipped face up. When one of your monsters attacks this forces all of your monsters in attack mode to defense mode. Buster Blader was repelled and then pinned down along with Buster Dark.

Buster Blader
LV:7
DEF:2300

Buster Dark
LV:7
DEF:2300

“ Not much else I can do so I end my turn with one card Face-Down. Silver said as a set card appeared behind his monsters.

“ My turn I draw,” Shining said as he drew his second card. Shining decided now was the best time to end this.

“ If you though Xtreme was dangerous this next card will really scare you By detaching one overlay unit from my Dragon I can use him to Xyz Summon my secret weapon. Xtreme swallowed one of its overlay units before turning into a stream of orange energy that entered a galaxy like portal then exploded.

3 - 1 = 2

“ Mighty heroine of cold justice take form and freeze all those who break the law in place! Xyz Summon! Rise! Number 21 Frozen Lady Justice!

A white icicle appeared and then suddenly transformed into a girl with white skin, icy white hair wearing a white and ice blue knight outfit. The girl then drew her sword and took a fighting stance.

Number 21 Frozen Lady Justice
RANK:6
ATK:500 + 3000 = 3500
UNITS:3

“ A number monster so that is why my brother is acting different,” Twilight said.

“ That number is corrupting him,” Lyra added.

“ Say what you want but this lady will bring me victory but first let me explain her effects first she gains 1000 attack points for each overlay unit she has but that's just the beginning by detaching one overlay unit I can destroy all defense position monsters my opponent controls,” Shining said.

“ So that's why you put me on lockdown and waited so long to play that Trap of yours you were waiting for me to bring out my big blades so you could destroy them with your number,” Silver said.

“ That's right and now I activate Frozen Lady Justice’s effect. Frozen Lady sliced one of her overlay units and then unleashed a massive blizzard onto Silver’s field which Silver endured.

3 - 1 = 2

3500 - 1000 = 2500

“ I won't let that happen I activate the Trap Destruction Sword Guard by banishing a Destruction Sword Monster from my GY My monsters cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects until the end of the turn. Silver banished his Buster Whelp and a barrier appeared around Silver’s field keeping the blizzard out.

“ Fine I end my turn but don't think you can do much because thanks to my Detainment your monsters can't change battle modes,” Shining said.

“ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his second card. Silver needed to end this quickly before everyone was frozen to death.

“You're not the only if a number monster Shining I overlay my Level Seven Buster Blader and Buster Dark in order to build the overlay network. Buster Blader turned into an orange energy stream while Buster Dark turned into a purple energy stream which both entered a galaxy like portal and exploded.

“ Powers of both good and evil join together in a single entity to take on a much stronger foe! Xyz Summon! Rise! Number 76 Majesty Lord Buster!

Lord Buster landed onto the field and crossed his swords before preparing to attack.

Number 76 Majesty Lord Buster
RANK:7
ATK:3500
UNITS:2

“ Since I used both Buster Blader and Buster Dark as material Majesty's attack points are doubled. Majesty Lord Buster powered up as soon as Silver mentioned the power up.

3500 x 2 = 7000

“ Time to end this Majesty Lord Buster attack Frozen Lady Justice with Either Sword Slash. Buster unleashed all his power and slashed up Frozen Lady and managed to wipe Shining out in one blow.

Silver Chance:400
Shining Armor:0
WINNER: Silver Chance

Silver’s element reacted and absorbed Shining’s number freeing him from its influence. Suddenly Shining Armor got back up confused.

“ What happened and what am I doing here?” Shining asked only for Twilight to hug him while crying.

“ So glad to have you back brother,” Twilight said.

“ What happened Twily?” Shining asked.

“ I’ll tell you about it later,” Twilight said as they left.

A couple of hours later Silver, Lyra, and Lightning were discussing the events of today with each other.

“ Do you think there will be more numbers out there?” Lyra asked.

“ That is a high possibility,” Silver said.

“ How is it your not affected by their power?” Lightning asked.

“ Not completely sure but my guess our elements must be suppressing the number’s power so we can use them without getting corrupted,” Silver replied.

After finishing their discussion they went back to watching TV.
